We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; in deed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul ... if there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.



“Behold a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” (Isaiah 7:14) Immanuel means “God with you.” And indeed with the birth of Jesus God came down from Heaven to dwell in a mortal body to live among men and set in order his kingdom on earth.
In Jerusalem, 600 BC,  Lehi a man of God had a vision of a virgin. The angel in the vision “said unto me (Lehi) Behold, the virgin whom thou seest is the mother of the Son of God…. And I looked and beheld the virgin again, bearing a child in her arms… And the angel said unto me. Behold the Lamb of God.”  (1 Neph 11:18-32)
Lehi being instructed of God took with his family, their scriptures (which included Isaiah) along with other records and one other individual began the journey to the ocean. There they built a vessel according to the directions given them by God even as Noah built the ark. They were brought to the American continent. These are the Ancestors of the American Indians who thought Columbus was the Great White God or Christ whose coming was foretold.
