401137000SECTION 137 A vision given to Joseph Smith the Prophet, in the temple at Kirtland, Ohio, January 21, 1836. HC 2: 380-381. The occasion was the administration of the ordinances of the endowment as far as they had then been revealed. 4011370001-6, The Prophet sees his brother Alvin in the celestial kingdom; 7-9, The doctrine of salvation for the dead is revealed; 10, All children are saved in the celestial kingdom. 401137001The heavens were opened upon us, and I beheld the celestial kindgom of God, and the glory thereof, whether in the body or out I cannot tell. 401137002I saw the transcendent beauty of the gate through which the heirs of that kingdom will enter, which was like unto circling flames of fire; 401137003Also the blazing throne of God, whereon was seated the Father and the Son. 401137004I saw the beautiful streets of that kingdom, which had the appearance of being paved with gold. 401137005I saw Father Adam and Abraham; and my father and my mother; my brother Alvin, that has long since slept; 401137006And marveled how it was that he had obtained an inheritance in that kindgom, seeing that he had departed this life before the Lord had set his hand to gather Israel the second time, and had not been baptized for the remission of sins. 401137007Thus came the voice of the Lord unto me, saying: All who have died without a knowledge of this gospel, who would have received it if they had been permitted to tarry, shall be heirs of the celestial kindgom of God; 401137008Also all that shall die henceforth without a knowledge of it, who would have received it with all their hearts, shall be heirs of that kindgom. 401137009For I, the Lord, will judge all men according to their works, according to the desire of their hearts. 401137010And I also beheld that all children who die before they arrive at the years of accountability are saved in the celestial kingdom of heaven.
