Ancients Mighty Men of Renown

 7 It is an imperative duty that we owe to God, to angels, with whom we shall be brought to stand, and also to ourselves, to our wives and children, who have been made to bow down with grief, sorrow, and care, under the most damning hand of murder, tyranny, and oppression, supported and urged on and upheld by the influence of that spirit which hath so strongly riveted the creeds of the fathers, who have inherited lies, upon the hearts of the children, and filled the world with confusion, and has been growing stronger and stronger, and is now the very mainspring of all corruption, and the whole earth groans under the weight of its iniquity.

            (D&C  123:7)

 5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
 6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.


            (Mal  4:5-6)

Ancients were "mighty men of renown". Rehearsal of works of these mighty men. Enoch turns river out of its course. Melchizedek when eight years old stopped the mouths of lions and quenched the violence of fire. Eusebius' account of Thaddeus, one of the 70 sent by Jesus to Agbarus, a king of the Edessenes, who sent a courier to Jesus, and treating him to come to his city and heal him of his disease.
