An Ensign to the Nations (1997) 

This was my favorite Church movie as a child. I am so grateful to still be a part of being the Lord's work 25 years later, helping to gather souls to Christ.

This movie came out the year I began my mission. I saw it for the first time in the mission field. I liked it so much that I used my own money to order a copy from the mission home. I was the only elder who owned a copy, and in many areas, it was only because of my copy that members and investigators got to see it for the first time. I was always touched the most by the story of the Maori and, most of all, the story of the Korean graduate student. I love this movie, and I didn't realize how much I missed President Hinckley until I heard his voice again. It brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for posting this. I hope we all share it.

As a new member of the church, I am glad to be watching these videos about the history of the Latter-day Saints.

The picture quality is very good. It looks like it has been enhanced or restored. I love to see this kind of devotion-taking seriously the preservation of priceless Church video resources. Thanks so much for posting this! 🙏🏼 💛

This brought tears to my eyes so many times. Thank you for posting. I never saw this before much less heard about it. Reminds me of D&C 128:22 "Brethren, shall we not go on in so great a cause? ...Let your hearts rejoice!..." Thank you!

I was 16 when missionaries found me and when I got baptised. I remember when missionaries showed me that video...

A most remarkable story! IT IS TRUE!!!

Thanks for posting! I've been looking for this video everywhere! I look forward to checking out the rest of your channel...great resource!

This video is without doubt a true blessing . I have never been humbled more . Thank you .

Baptised 2006 England thank you my missionaries for bringing the truth I felt it then my body testifies to me the truth to this day. THANK HEAVENLY FATHER IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AMEN 🙏

A great video that invites the Spirit

What the great blessing to find this channel and its videos. Thanks a lot.

I love the history of the Church. I am so very grateful to find this video. Those were days of great faith, strong belief, and willingness to sacrifice for the vision shared at that time by so few.

Thank you for posting this.

I loved the story of how the church is beginning to fill the earth. I especially enjoyed the biographies of the early church members who helped bring the gospel to their homeland. I also enjoyed hearing from church authorities who have since passed on. My eyes were wet as I pondered this story. Thank you for bringing this to RU-vid!

its now 2021 the Church of Jesus Christ in these latter days has reached almost 18 million saints. We now work to usher in the 2nd coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Hurrah for Israel !!!

I remember he was the Prophet of my conversion to the golpel and church back in Feb 1995. Now I am a full-time inactive member. I still love the restored church of the Lord.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful history of our church. I don’t recall seeing it before.

Im going to share them on facebook.

SO MUCH NEEDED, THIS BEAUTIFUL REMINDER OF OUR BELOVED CHURCH LEADERS. SO HUMBLING AND INTERESTING TO SEE THEM IN THEIR YOUNGER YEARS. THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST IS A SAFE PLACE TO FIND THE MOST PROTECTING PEACE DURING THE HORRIBLE DISRUPTIONS THE WORLD (GLOBALLY) IS IN NOW. REMINDS ME OF THE SCRIPTURE THAT OUR LORD WILL GATHER US UNDER HIS WINGS, SECURING EVERY ONE WHO SERVES AND HONORS HIM. HE IS OUR MAJESTY, HE WAS THESE DEAR ANCESTOR'S MAJESTY. THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS "ENSIGN TO ALL NATIONS," THAT ALL MAY BE REMINDED.

Thanks for this video. Proud to say my ancestors came to live in Illinois from Sweden by boat and helped build the Nauvoo temple. Moved from Illinois, over to Bountiful, Utah where they settled and stayed (for the most part)

Thank you very much for sharing great work of the gospel and I love watching the videos and learn so many things for our Prophet and leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints.I am grateful for the gospel and blessings that restored upon me and this video and learning that I gain here that add to my testimony.

Thank you for sharing this video! How I wish that the church would film many mini segments about pioneers of the church in every land, building on and expanding on the stories in this and in Saints.

Demonstrates the truthfulness of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Sweeping the earth to every corner of the globe. The Savior prophesied this would happen in our day before his second coming, and this video demonstrates the miracle of this divine work.

There's a good spirit in this one.

I have become inactive and had doubts about the testimony of Joseph Smith and the church. I had a revelation Joseph Smith was a Prophet and the church is true. It has restored my faith. Thank you for posting.

28:41 I'm Korean and it's interesing story.

1:50 cracks me up, because you know they just told the missionaries to walk in a circle for the movie. They’re literally walking in circles.

Together we can all become gods in Terestial heaven

First and Third, the church didn't yet receive the authority to perform the temple's function. That's why Elias (Possibly King Melchizedek: Genesis 14) and Prophet Elijah (2 Kings 2:9-12) came.. Second, The decentralized nature of the God's Church allows Temple designers to have as much authority to specify the design of temples as Moses, David, or Solomon. The LORD is quite capable of sending instructions to those designers through the Holy Ghost, the Other Comforter (John 14-16)! In short, I don't see the problem! PS: You did notice the clues, right? (Verse 12: Elias appeared, and committed the dispensation of the gospel of Abraham), (Verse 13: Elijah the prophet, who was taken to heaven without tasting death). Temples: Sacred places where those who are worthy may enter for further education and conduct ordinances (Preparation is required before entering a temple, as sacred ordinances and symbolisms otherwise would not be understood) Temples shall be in the midst of Christ's people forever - Ezekiel 37:26-28 Sacred things are taught by God personally in temples, things that are not known by others - Isaiah 2:2-3 Temples are the originating place of the Laws of Zion and Zion itself - Isaiah 2:3 Zion is a place of quiet habitation and it's temples and stakes shall always stand - Isaiah 33:20 Temples are quiet places of the Lord - Habakkuk 2:20 Throughout the Bible, the Lord has frequently told prophets to build temples for him to visit - 2 Samuel 7:5-6 The trumpet sounded from the temples - Joel 2:1 Sacred ordinances are carried out in Temples (12 bull font described) - Jer. 52:17 & 20 The lord designs his own temples, as he did with Solomon and Moses. This continues to this day. The teachings of the Lord are higher than typical mankind can perceive, requiring special instruction - Isaiah 55:8-9 Only those who are worthy may enter temples (requiring member worthiness interviews) - Psalms 24:3-5, 2 Chr. 23:19 Those bearing iniquity are not to enter temples, being at grave risk if they do - Exodus 28:43 King David was not even worthy to build the temple (let alone enter it), so his son Solomon had to build it - 1 Chr. 22:7-11 The temple's 12-oxen baptismal fonts (used for baptisms for the dead) described - 2 Chr. 4:2-10 & 4:15, Jer. 52:17 & 20 The temple always has been the sacred place to perform Baptisms for the dead - 1 Peter. 4:6, 1 Cor. 15:29, 2 Chr. 4:2-15 Hezekiah goes into a temple to communicate directly with God - Isaiah 37:14 Visions (and other sacred things) may be experienced in temples - Luke 1:22, Luke 2:27, Luke 2:46 Salt Lake City, the first temple, described as building in midst of mountains that nations will flock to and visit - Isaiah 2:2-3 Christ's own apostles are told that he can not disclose the full truth to them because they can not bear it - John 16:12 Temples are places where sacred ordinances are conducted in a proper environment, just as they always have been Baptisms for the dead - 1 Corinthians 15:29, 2 Chronicles 4:2-15, Jer. 52:17 & 20, 1 Peter 4:6, Heb. 11:40 Temple baptismal fonts on 12 oxen - 1 Kings 7:22-25, Chron. 4:2, Jer. 52:20 Washing - 2 Chronicles 4:6 Temple veil - Matthew 27:51 Anointings - Matthew 6:17, Exodus 28:41 Eternal marriage and relationship sealings (problem and solution) - Mark 12:18-25 and Matthew 16:13-19 Sealings by the Holy Spirit of Promise - Ephesians 1:13 Endowment: Christ shows his apostles "many signs" after resurrection (but intentionally left out of the Bible due to their sacred nature) - John 20:30 Adam’s prayer (at alter he built) - Psalms 54:2 Women veiled during temple prayer - 1 Cor. 11:5-6 Temples: Old Testament Trivia about Modern-Day Temples in Last Days When Utah was established as a state, the Mormons requested that the state be named "Deseret". The U.S. government, in spite of the Mormons, named it after the Ute Indians and called it Utah. Little did the government know that they had fulfilled prophecy, for the Indian name "Ute" translates to "top of the mountains" in native Ute Indian language. In Isaiah 2:2-3, we see that "And it shall come to pass in the last days that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the tops of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it." This is a direct scriptural reference to the Salt Lake Temple, which is surrounded by mountains, has people from all over the world traveling to it all year round, and is located in a place that is named "tops of the mountains" - not by the church, but by the Indians and the US government. So, the above scripture accurately translates to "...It shall come to pass in the last days that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in Utah...". The temple construction had been completed in 1893, but the state of Utah wasn't named until 1896 by the government.

59:00...awful nice of the "Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Independence, Missouri...to let LDS take pictures on their property....

THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAT SAINTS IS GROWING AND GROWING EVER MINUTE OF EVERY DAY!!! MGVV ALSO MY CHURCH FOR 76 YEARS!!!

Jesus Christ!!! He did it!!!!

The internet is doing its work now.

👍👍👍

All these poor people from all these far away countries each giving 10% of their income struggling to buy food and today the church has holdings of over $200 Billion! How generous of the church to include the poorest of the poor so that so many in Utah can build Mansions and shopping malls God be praised hallelujah!

I learned so much I wish I could be a Mormon

Imagine when 246M newfound members are of the Church or just 18.8M dropped into the fold for membership...

Heber Kimball gave his 14-year-old daughter to Joseph as a sign of his devotion. Kinda creepy really as Joseph was already married. Heber married 43 women and had 66 children.

The Lord rules.

💕🇺🇸💕

There's a great book by an LDS author that shows that there's perfect harmony between the prophetic statements concerning the garden of Eden being in Missouri and the Old Testament account. It's called Canaan, Babylon, and Egypt A Comparative Theological Analysis on Creation sold by Eborn Books. Great read. Thumbs up! 👍

8 years 70 Moari branches, and 30,000 new converts in late 1940-50's in upper England one of them of a George Ord, his son flipped the sundial the masking of the sun last three to two years ago is Thomas Ord a King Ahaz attribute to show we are not yet overcome till the last day when the Sun Dial will sit in endless Love and adoration for Lord Yeshua or layman's terms the son of jesse: Jesus... by his friend King Cyrus of Palo Alto....

Just recieved confirmation this will be the age bracket at 2797 AD 248M in the flurishing magnification under Kolob direction...

Christ said there was no salvation in the LDS church.

It's not growing very fast anymore. The internet happened 1st.

What this video doesn't mention is that a lot of this "growth", especially in South America, were people that were hastily baptized and quickly left the church.

Watch the film "DNA vs. The Book of Mormon."

13,022 AD is when Uriel Malik Zegot and Yeshua Immanuel Cervantes will him rush Israel and the work will be adhanced as the two prophets Eliakim and Yeshua directed by Earth's director Grand Elohim... will uphold the 3rd Temple or yet like a Oklahoma Sooner quicker time...

Completely different God, Christ, gospel and holy spirit to that of the new Testament. This religion is a phony.

Dull drivel.

This was the most BORING thing I have ever fast-forwarded through.

Christ said there was no salvation in the LDS church.
