All language subtitles for Joseph Smith Prophet Of The Restoration [2011] 1080P-1

You didn't have to come with me, Father.

I couldn't let you come 4 ,000 miles
below.

You've never even met this man.

I don't need to meet him to know he's a
prophet.

God knows the situation of all his
children.

He has provided for their salvation.

My calling is to bear witness that Jesus
is the Christ.

To him, every soul is precious.

That is why this work is so important.

Never get discouraged, brethren.

Joseph.

The governor insists that we come to
Carthage.

Hiram, if we go to Carthage, we will not
come back alive.

So what do we do?

How can you be so certain this man is a
prophet?

I've read his teachings, and I've prayed
to know the truth.

We have three more days until we get
there, Father.

Read of him for yourself.

I don't blame anyone for not believing
my history.

If I had not experienced what I have, I
might not believe it myself.

No.

I will not let you do it. Be reasonable,
Mrs. Smith.

What kind of life would he have?

The bone and tissue are both infected.

It happens sometimes after typhoid
fever.

Unless we remove the leg.

the infection will keep spreading.

There must be another way.

Well, there is one possible procedure.

It is an unproved and complicated
surgery.

And using pinchers...

Don't be afraid, Joseph.

God will take care of you.

He doesn't want you to have to watch.

Bite on this, Joseph.

The trials which I have passed through
seem but a small thing to me.

We were taught to trust in God and
always take care of each other.

Whoa!

First you walk, and then you run.

Alvin was my oldest brother.

He was a hero in my eyes.

Two more, Joseph.

So was my brother Hiram.

You didn't answer my question. At an
early age, I became concerned about the

welfare of my soul.

But the designs of God regarding

his plan of salvation were little
understood in that day.

You seem to be a God -fearing man, but I
don't see you with your family in my

congregation.

The things I preach in nowadays teach us
both to fear God too much.

Trust in him too little.

You're a difficult man, Mr. Smith.

I don't mean to be.

Just concerned for your salvation.

Will you be saved? Will any of you be
saved?

Now God determined long before this
world was who would be saved and who

not. There is nothing to do but search
your heart to see if God has chosen you.

I will rise and go to Jesus.

He'll embrace me. Melvin, have you ever
wondered...

What we need to do to be saved.

You worry too much, little brother.

But I need to know.

If you embrace false doctrine and unite
yourself with a corrupt church, you can

expect coldness and darkness all your
life.

During this time, my mind was pulled up
to serious reflection and great

uneasiness.

I determined to investigate the subject
more fully.

Ask and you shall receive.

Knock and it shall be opened unto you.

we must repent and be baptized.

Realize that Alvin has not been
baptized.

Neither have you.

Without it, you cannot be saved.

I often ask myself, what is to be done?

And how shall I know it?

I was one day reading the epistle of
James.

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask
of God.

The words came with great force into my
heart.

I reflected upon them again and again.

At length, I came to the conclusion that
I must do as James directs.

That is, ask of God.

It was on the morning of a beautiful,
clear day, early in the spring of 1820.

I kneeled

down and began to offer up the desires
of my heart to God.

I was seized upon by some power, an
actual being from the

unseen world.

Exerting all my strength to call upon
God,

I saw a pillar of

light.

I saw two personages.

One of them, they come to me.

Joseph.

This is my beloved son.

Hear him.

I am Jesus Christ.

I saw God, the Father,

and His Son, Jesus Christ.

They did, in reality, speak to me.

I knew it.

And I knew that God would.

And I could not deny it.

I was told in the vision to join none of
the churches, but that the gospel

in its fullness was about to be
restored.

I'm grateful for your help, Joseph.

But you must know how I feel.

There are no such things.

as visions and revelations in these
days.

All of that ceased with the apostles,
and there will never be any more of it.

Don't speak of it further.

It will only bring you grief.

Three years passed.

Now hand me that.

Then one night, as I was calling upon
God, a heavenly

messenger appeared.

He said that his name was Moroni, that
God had a work for me to do.

He told me of an ancient record which
contained a fullness of the gospel.

In time, the record would be translated
and then published at the Book of

Mormon.

Until then, I was to wait and prepare.

Some sort of internal blockage.

What do we do to treat it?

I'm sorry.

I've done everything I know how to do.

everything.

God has given travail to the sons of
men, for dust we are,

and unto dust shall we return.

Perhaps God is trying to warn you,
Joseph.

Alvin is lost, but there is still hope
for you.

Forget these foolish notions.

It gave me great cause to wonder.

What is the purpose of coming into
existence?

To live, then die, and be no more?

It seemed that God would surely reveal
more on the subject.

kinds of fish in the sea, Emma.

You're not getting any younger.

Mother, even if I were trying to catch a
husband, I would never fish in

shallow waters.

My father's heard some... stories.

Rumors. Yes.

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask
of God.

That's what I did.

I've thought a great deal about what you
told me.

Yeah?

I believe you.

Emma's parents did not approve, but we
were married the following year We

named our first son Alvin he lived only
a few

hours Together we have witnessed many

sorrows death has taken four more of our
children

The Lord calls us in our weakness, but
he qualifies us for his work.

At length, the time arrived to translate
the record.

All men must repent and be baptized in
his name.

How are we to be baptized?

we inquired of the lord a messenger from
heaven descended in a cloud of light

john the baptist laid his hands upon our
head and conferred the authority to

baptize

peter

james and john restored the keys of a
new dispensation of the gospel of Jesus

Christ.

The record was translated by the gift
and power of God.

It was published as the Book of Mormon.

It is a witness to all the world that
Jesus is the Christ.

Are you still determined to organize
this church of yours?

The Lord has commanded it.

But it is not my church.

It is his.

It is the church of Jesus Christ.

Mr. Smith, forgive the intrusion, but I
wonder, could you tell me more

about that book?

Yes.

Yes, I could.

Brothers and sisters, I propose, if we
are all in agreement, that we

proceed and organize ourselves as a
church according to the commandments of

and eternal father.

We are.

I do not believe in your religion, Mr.
Smith,

but I do thank you for your kindness.

You might say that is our religion, ma
'am.

I've never been thrown by anyone.

So I'll just apologize now, Brother
Joseph.

Sometimes the Lord brings us low before
he can lift us higher.

Have you begun?

When you climb a ladder, you must begin
at the bottom and go step by step until

you reach the top.

So it is with the principles of
salvation.

These Mormons will soon be taking over
the whole county.

Can you imagine picking up and leaving
everything behind on the word of a so

-called prophet?

I hear they worship Joseph Smith.

Well, there's one way to find out.

Joseph? Yes, Mother?

My new friend here has a quest.

We only worship God the Father and his
Son, Jesus Christ.

And all this talk of revelation?

That is how we learn his will.

What makes you so certain, Mr. Smith,
that God even cares?

He does care.

And you can know it.

But first you have to trust him.

We talk of Christ.

We rejoice in Christ.

We preach and prophesy of Christ that
our children may know to what source

may look for a remission of their sins.

There will always be opposition.

How much do we have to endure?

Perhaps I am meant to swim in deep
water.

Better deep than shallow.

Pray unto the Father with all the energy
of heart that He may be filled with

this love.

God has restored to the earth the spirit
of prophecy and of revelation.

I am a witness that Jesus is the Christ.

He invites all men to repent and to come
unto Him.

He will bear our grief.

He will carry our burdens.

Steady. Go!

Good morning, Brigham. Harley. Joseph.

Come on, boys.

Brethren, brethren, I have just met one
of our newcomers.

He sacrificed a great deal to come here.

He lost his wife and he had three small
children.

They have nowhere to live.

Lyman, know how to use a hammer?

Brother Joseph, I don't know what to
say. Just tell him how you feel.

Sure. No, I meant to thank you.

Emma.

So it's the floor again.

They have no place else to sleep
tonight.

We're almost finished with our new
house.

Everything.

Except for the roof.

And a couple of walls.

The Lord has commanded us to build a
temple here.

that we are to do it.

And how long did it take you to put up
two walls?

Keep up the good work, brethren.

I know you've got a good heart, Lyman.

I certainly hope you've got a good eye.

I'm just an ordinary man.

The Lord calls ordinary men.

But how can he call someone like me to
be an apostle?

You have been prepared, Brigham.

The Lord takes raw materials, shapes
them, and refines them.

The Lord has great things in mind for
you, Brigham.

Greater than you have ever dreamed of.

There we go.

Brigham Young.

In the name of Jesus Christ, we lay our
hands upon your head.

It should

be

our finest work, brethren.

Nothing but the best for the Lord.

We're not just building a temple here.

The Lord is building us.

The Lord did build us in wonderful ways.

He revealed every truth, every
principle, every doctrine pertaining to

salvation.

God is the Father of our spirits.

Jesus Christ is His Son.

Their work and their glory is to bring
to pass the immortality, and eternal

of man.

Prophecy was fulfilled.

The Lord did come to his temple.

Behold, I have accepted it.

Other heavenly messengers appeared.

Moses, Elias, and Elijah.

The Lord revealed that all who die
without a knowledge of the gospel, who

have received it, shall be heirs of the
kingdom of God.

Shall be heirs of the kingdom of God.

I think Mother would have believed that.

When we are accomplishing the most good,
the greatest opposition comes.

Even Oliver had turned against him.

And have many others.

They let pride rob them of faith.

Is the same thing happening to you?

He asked too much of people.

The time we got rid of these Mormons for
good.

And if we need to kill Joe Smith to do
it, all the better.

How can we leave this behind?

It's not safe to say.

Will things be better in a story?

You told us to gather in Ohio.

We gave up everything to go.

You said build a temple.

We had to leave it.

What more do you want us to do?

It's what the Lord wants that matters.

We must trust him.

And if that's not enough?

Then what?

Missouri proved the refiner's fire.

Intolerance and misunderstanding
increased.

Rumor and flander flew. In the
confusion, the governor issued an order

us from the state.

General Lucas.

I was told you wanted to talk with me.

Here are your prisoners, General, as we
agreed.

We only came because we had your word of
honor.

Well, you, sir, were misinformed.

nine o 'clock, General Donovan and his
brigade will take these men to the town

square in far west.

And he will shoot them.

These men are innocent.

I will not obey your order.

And if you execute them, I will hold you
responsible before an earthly tribunal,

so help me God.

I knew they were going to betray him.

You knew?

And you didn't warn him?

Prophesy, Smith.

It was one of your revelations.

Tell us, Joe, which Mormon house is
going to burn tonight?

The Lord invites all men to repent and
come unto him.

Hey, you ever actually kill a Mormon?

Two, maybe three.

Of course, the young 'uns, they don't
count for nothing.

Yeah, but they make good for target
practice.

He's going to have to hear me, Joseph.

Nips grow into lice.

No one here is going to listen.

Hey, you know that blacksmith out there
in Far West?

He claimed I owed him some money.

Well, we paid him a little visit.

We're beating him half to death.

Couldn't seem to look on his face when
he saw that place go up in smoke.

Because his kids were inside the house.

And screaming like this.

His missus.

He put up a fight.

Silence.

Silence.

Silence, ye fiends of the infernal pit.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I rebuke
you and command you to be still.

I will not live another minute.

and hear such language.

Cease such talk, or you or I die this
instant.

The worth of every soul is great in the
eyes of God.

Why don't you keep your so -called
revelations to yourself?

Hey, Joe, this vase of yours is such a
waste.

Seems that God's forgotten you.

Smith, get yourself up here.

Don't you try now.

Mary?

Hiram.

I brought someone to meet you.

We have a fine new son.

O God, where art thou?

How long shall thy hand be stayed, and
thine eye behold the wrongs of thy

people?

My son, peace be unto thy soul.

Thine adversity and thine afflictions
shall be but a small moment.

And then, if thou endure it well, God
shall exalt thee on high.

How do we endure well?

We trust in God, Lyman.

And we go on.

At length, we regained our freedom and
found refuge in Illinois.

We had suffered, but not in vain.

Our hearts had been made more tender.

Don't lose heart, brethren.

Nauvoo in Hebrew, beautiful place.

The Hebrew word for swamp.

That first summer, hundreds were sick of
chills and fever.

Many among us died.

Let me help you, sisters.

The Lord has brought us here.

We must not lose faith.

Aren't there enough graves in Missouri?

Do you believe that Jesus is the Christ?

By the authority of his holy priesthood.

And in the name of Jesus Christ, I
command you to be healed.

Brother Joseph, my pride has brought me
very low.

Now the Lord can lift you higher.

You play the pipes.

Brother Joseph, please don't encourage
him.

The building up of Zion is a cause
destined to change the world and bring

the salvation of all the human family.

President, a man filled with the love of
God cannot be content in blessing his

family alone.

He will be anxious to bless the whole
human race.

This is what the Lord desires for you.

In ancient days, God spoke to prophets
who in turn shared God's word with all

those who were willing to listen.

God has again spoken to his prophets who
have given us his word.

The book of Amos teaches us that this is
part of God's plan.

We must declare this gospel to every
nation, kindred, tongue, and people.

If ye ask with a sincere heart, having
real intent and faith in Christ, he will

manifest the truth of it unto you by the
power... There are many in this world

who are kept from the truth only because
they know not where to find it. ...the

truth of all things.

The Lord has revealed an additional
testimony of the divinity of Jesus

The truth of God will go forth boldly,
nobly.

and independent until it is sounded in
every ear and the purposes of God shall

be accomplished.

God desires to bless all of his
children.

We walked almost 900 miles to get here.

God bless you, Jane Manning.

Oh, he already has.

He already has.

Brother Joseph?

Jesse.

A word?

Certainly.

I was thinking... Yes?

People notice everything you do.

And I wonder if a man of your position
should engage in such

menial chores.

Well, if there are demeaning things to
be done in the man's house...

Who better than the head of the house to
do them?

Well, my wife does most of that work at
our house.

Maybe... Maybe she could speak to Sister
Emma.

How long have you been married?

Three years next month.

That long?

May I offer you some advice?

Say? The Lord intends for marriage to
last much longer than that.

In fact, forever.

Now, if a man is not willing to help...

and cherish his wife here, why would she
want him hereafter?

Now you give that some thought.

Therein lies happiness, brother.

Start counting again.

One, two, three, two, two. Do not count
out loud.

Happiness is what God intends for us.

Nice to see you.

Every blessing we receive comes through
obedience.

Thank you.

They are beautiful.

Now there's a very wide net.

Why?

Why couldn't you heal our son, Joseph?

I can only do God's will.

Do you ever wonder if he asks too much?

Sometimes I do.

God intend to take away everything that
I love.

Just a little weird.

That's all.

You have watched after us all of our
lives, Father.

That's what fathers do.

Let us watch after you.

George, will I see Elvin again?

Yes.

You will see Elvin again and be with
him.

You will always be his father.

And he will always be your son.

The Lord has revealed that that is his
plan.

We can be together with the ones we love
forever.

There are many souls whom I have loved.

To them I am determined to prove
faithful.

We would not be surprised to hear of the
death of Joseph Smith by violent means.

This is a news, a threat.

It's as magnificent as they say it will
be.

The Lord has great blessings in store
for all of us.

In this temple, God will reveal the
crowning ordinances of salvation.

You will have your children again.

All our losses will be made up if we are
faithful.

Father, all our losses will be made up
if we are faithful.

I wish I could believe that.

You can.

I've never been a slave.

But Anthony was.

Took him 12 years.

To crimp in and save him so he could
buy.

His freedom.

Now he's trying to buy his son's
freedom.

He didn't know he was breaking the law.

Brother Joseph, please.

The sheriff will listen to you.

The laws are what protect us.

If we want to be truly free, we have to
be willing to obey all of them.

Do you understand, Anthony?

You must pay the fine.

I paid the fine, like you told me.

It was the right thing to do.

Anthony, this horse, You've been one of
Emma's favorites.

And now it's yours.

Sell the horse and use the money to buy
your son's freedom.

God bless you, my friend.

Now, Jane, you and I have a problem.

What is that?

Which one of us will tell Emma?

Not me.

I had sealed upon my head every key,
every power.

and every principle of life and
salvation.

And now I seal them upon you.

Hiram, you know what will happen if we
go to Carthage.

Whatever happens, Joseph, the Lord is in
it.

We will do the best that we can.

We're coming back.

I thought that he would be here.

Brother Joseph?

Not today.

He's leaving for Carthage.

Stand trial.

Sir, you...

We're too late, Father.

We don't have to meet him to know he's a
prophet.

I love you, brother.

What do we hear in the gospel that we
have received?

Truth out of the earth.

Mercy from heaven.

A voice of gladness for the living and
the dead.

Shall we not go on and so great a call?
