"Behold, the great day of the Lord is at hand, and who can abide the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appeareth? For he is like a refiner's fire, and like fuller's soap; and he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness. Let us, therefore, as a chruch and a people and as Latter-day Saints, offer unto the Lord an offereing in righteousness; and let us present in his holy temple, when it is finished, a book containing the records of our dead, whech shall be worthy of all acceptation" (D&C 128:24).
