Download The Sealed Book

Whenever I listened to the stories of some great prophet, such as Noah, Moses, Jesus Christ, Joseph Smith, I would ask, "Would I have followed them or not?" A part of me always replies, "Sure! Aren't you following today?" However, thinking and putting myself at that age, the doubt increased each time it actually transported me to history. I wasn't so sure anymore.

An example would be Noah. Imagine today if a person speaks, on a dry and cloudless day in the sky, that it will rain, I already feel like laughing, then imagine if a man says that a flood will fall and spend years building a boat ? Would I have entered the ark?

What about Moses? Even after seeing the Red Sea open, they forgot Him and worshiped a golden calf. Would I really be the voice of reason?

Christ Himself, when He appeared, people did not accept Him, because of their centuries-old traditions. People wanted to decide how they should have seen the Savior, like a king in a golden cradle. As a great conqueror and warrior, not as a mere carpenter's son. Would I follow Him? Would I recognize my Savior? I transported myself back to that time, and I had a mind that, yes, I would see, hear and follow him, and recognize my Savior in him. But then I asked myself "Would I really go there to hear him? Would I go out of my way to take this time? Crossing crowds just to see him pass? Boating many miles to hear him, even without food? Would I have witnessed the miracle of bread multiplication? I think most of us would say yes, at least we would try.

And when I heard about a 14-year-old, I thought "Why not an older person?", "Why not a renowned pastor, someone with prominence or even the Pope?" Once again, I found myself pondering if I lived then, would I follow him? Would I listen to his message? Would I have the courage to change my traditions, my home, or even pray to be sure?

Today these questions had a greater weight on me. I learned about the Book of Mormon Sealed Plates, a simple man said he received them from an angel, such as Joseph Smith. I automatically said that he was an impostor, I didn't want to know about it ...

As I read the scriptures I wondered if it was at that time ... I AM ON THAT TIME! A new fact appeared, a prophet appeared or just another impostor. What do I have to lose? Well, if I hear you and you know you're an impostor, ok. All right. But if if I hear that man has been called by God to give us more teachings, I have much to gain. Through weak things the Lord shows Himself (Alma 37: 6-7). I had the opportunity to go and meet for myself.

And would you have followed the Savior? Were you a pioneer? Would you hear a person today who has a little more to add to you? Would you pray with real intent to receive an answer from heaven?
