Doctrine and Covenants 133–134

Overview

In Doctrine and Covenants 133, the Lord revealed events that will precede His Second Coming and how His Saints can prepare for those events; He also revealed more about His character and attributes. In Doctrine and Covenants 134, Church leaders outlined the Church’s beliefs on government and religion.

Focus on Jesus Christ as you teach the scriptures: Take time to help students recognize truths about the Savior and His redeeming power. Point out scripture passages that may increase their faith in Him. Consider asking questions that will invite students to ponder how Jesus Christ can bless, strengthen, and guide them. For more on how to do this, see the section “Teach about the Titles, Roles, and Attributes of Jesus Christ” in Teaching in the Savior’s Way. You can also see an example of how to do this in this week’s lesson titled “Doctrine and Covenants 133:41–56.”
