Jehovah who foreordains prophets
Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah 1:4–5
Jehovah, the premortal Christ, reveals that He knew Jeremiah and ordained him before he was born. This matches the Restoration teaching that noble spirits were chosen in the premortal world.
How we know: Jehovah is the premortal Christ (Abraham 1:16; D&C 110:3–4)
- the same event in Abraham 3:22-23 — Abraham is shown he was chosen before he was born among the noble and great ones.
- the same event in D&C 138:55-56 — Joseph F. Smith sees leaders who received their first lessons in the world of spirits and were prepared before birth.
