Here goes my first post/reply ever on this site. Be kind:) I have to start off my thought process by first acknowledging that 1) The Lord's words are always eternal and 2) ALL his words MUST be fulfilled. Let me take a stab at "The destroying angel passing by them and not destroy them" promise. To me the destroying angel depicted in this revelation is addiction. Addiction to drugs, alcohol, tobacco, etc. is "destroying" countless lives in and out of the church. By living the letter and spirit of the Word of Wisdom, we can rely on God's promise that we will not fall prey to the destructive forces of addictions. I don't know what health in the naval means and marrow exactly means, but one thing is for sure. If we keep God's commandments, including the Word of Wisdom, God will bless us with all the health and strength we need to accomplish all we are personally commissioned to do in this life. Once we die, we then lay claim to the resurrection which most assuredly restores perfect health to every body part. To those who have proven faithful in all things are given more glorified bodies and I'm sure all the Savior's promises will be fully perfectly, and eternally realized then.
