Fathers, The

The Fathers in heaven, among whom are Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and (because of this Dispensation being what it is) Peter, James, and John. Elijah made a promise (see JSH 3:4) about reconnecting mankind to the Fathers. Joseph called them the Fathers in heaven. “These are not our kindred dead, because our kindred dead are required to be redeemed by us.” ¹See also RIGHTS BELONGING TO THE FATHERS; HEARTS TURNED TO THE FATHERS.
