When will the Messiah “manifest himself unto them in power and great glory”?

Thomas R. Valletta

“Most frequently, revelation comes in small increments over time and is granted according to our desire, worthiness, and preparation. … [Nephi] did not learn how to build a ship of curious workmanship all at one time; rather, Nephi was shown by the Lord ‘from time to time after what manner [he] should work the timbers of the ship’ (1 Nephi 18:1)” (Bednar, “Spirit of Revelation,” 88).
