But their return to the presence of God is so that they can be judged by him. Those who have repented and received forgiveness of their sins through baptism and the sealing power of the Holy Ghost will remain in his presence, but those who have sneered at the gospel message and died in their sins will go into a state of horrible suffering to pay for their own sins to the uttermost farthing. This is a cleansing process which will require that they be cast out of the presence of the Father until they have paid the uttermost farthing.
Now Samuel is ready to describe the catastrophic destruction that will take place in America at the time of the Savior's crucifixion.
