The power of God on the earth

The priesthood is the eternal power and authority of God, this means is that a person can act in God’s name in behalf of His church—like when we give someone power of attorney so they can act in their behalf.. God gave it to the prophets in bible and in turn they gave it to others. Priesthood holders can be authorized to preach the gospel, administer the ordinances of salvation, and govern the kingdom of God on the earth.  But at some parts of the bible the wicked people killed off all those that held the priesthood or the prophets. When is happened it is call an apostasy or when they are in a state of rebellion. But Still loves us and will send forth more messages that bear his priesthood.

Soon after the know bible All the apostles and prophets were killed or the men that had the priesthood were taken from the earth. With no priesthood authority to lead the new church the doctrine and ordinances of the gospel were changed. Many plan and precious thing about the gospel were lost. But God still loves us. He prepared a why to fix the damage. When Joseph Smith was translating the Book Of Mormon he confused about the mention of baptism and need of authority. So he Went to banks of river to pray and ask God for understand. Then a angel from Heaven came to them. The angel told joseph that he was John the Baptist. He lay ed his hands of Joseph head and gave him priesthood authority  to baptise. Later Peter, James, and John who received that same “power and authority” from Jesus Christ Himself (Luke 9:1). These men appeared as angels and bestowed the priesthood upon Joseph Smith. Much like on the mount of transfiguration when moses and elijah visited Jesus. With this two events and other Gods  has once again bought his church and priesthood to earht. I Know this true. You learn for our self by study and pray.
