Re: Earth-Smiting Curse

Malachi never learned how to use a computer. Perhaps embarrassment led him to omit technical details from his prophecy on family history and an earth-smiting curse. In his short prophecy, he does not mention the microfilm deep in Wasatch Mountains. He does not mention the internet on our desks and in our pockets. He does not mention the digital portal of Family History Library kiosks. Malachi was able to view temple work and genealogy work from a mountaintop, so our gadgets didn't amuse him. He realized that electronics are just a channel for the message.  Malachi only attributes importance to the work -- the turning of the heart; the sending of Elijah -- as the necessary steps in preventing an earth-smiting curse. Its amazing that today, so much of the work can be done via the internet.
