“And the Keeper of the Gate Is the Holy One of Israel”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

Final judgment rests with him unto whom the Father hath committed all judgment, even Jesus Christ (see John 5:22). He stands at the gate or entrance into the presence of the Father, into the celestial kingdom. Only he who is able to read and know the thoughts and intents of the heart (see D&C 6:16; Alma 18:32) is capable of rendering perfect judgment. It is impossible to deceive the Holy One of Israel.
