The Nauvoo Temple and the Last Charge

In Nauvoo Joseph taught that in and through the temple would come Christ's "new and everlasting covenant" with His transforming power. Now "all that the Father hath" could be made available to the entire human family on both sides of the veil. Joseph as a teacher and transmitter of priesthood keys became, for the gathering converts, transparent to Christ. But his final charge to the Twelve anticipated his untimely death.
