The light appeared to be gradually descendingtowards [Joseph]; and as it drew nearer, itincreased in brightness and magnitude, so that,by the time that it reached the tops of the trees,the whole wilderness, for some distance around

was illuminated in a most glorious and brilliantmanner. He expected to have seen the leaves and boughsof the trees consumed, as soon as the light came incontact with them;but, perceiving that it did not produce

that effect, he was encouraged with the hope of being ableto endure its presence. Orson Pratt, 1840(italics added)

Surelyyou see the prophetic symbolism in thePassover. Christ was the Lamb of God (John1:29, 36), the firstborn, male, without blemish.He was slain without breaking his bones, eventhough the soldiers were sent to do it.

But it is not from mortal death that we shallbe spared in such a passover if we walk in obedience to[the] commandments, for each of us in time shall die. Butthere is spiritual death which you need not suffer. If you

are obedient, that spiritual death will pass over you, forChrist our passover is sacrificed for us, the revelationteaches (1 Corinthians 5:7).

Elder Boyd K. Packer, April 1996
