47 “EXALTATION”

And again, verily I say
unto you, if a man marry a wife by my word, which is my law, and by the
new and everlasting covenant, and it is sealed unto them by the Holy
Spirit of promise, by him who is anointed, unto whom I have appointed this
power and the keys of this priesthood; and it shall be said unto them--Ye
shall come forth in the first resurrection; and if it be after the first
resurrection, in the next resurrection; and shall inherit thrones,
kingdoms, principalities, and powers, dominions, all heights and
depths--then shall it be written in the Lamb's Book of Life, that he shall
commit no murder whereby to shed innocent blood, and if ye abide in my
covenant, and commit no murder whereby to shed innocent blood, it shall be
done unto them in all things whatsoever my servant hath put upon them, in
time, and through all eternity; and shall be of full force when they are
out of the world; and they shall pass by the angels, and the gods, which
are set there, to their exaltation and glory in all things, as hath been
sealed upon their heads, which glory shall be a fulness and a continuation
of the seeds forever and ever. Then shall they be gods, because they have
no end; therefore shall they be from everlasting to everlasting, because
they continue; then shall they be above all, because all things are
subject unto them. Then shall they be
gods, because they have all power,
and the angels are subject unto them. (Doctrine and Covenants
130:19-20)
