“Before Oliver passes away, he goes out of his way on several occasions to publicly and ardently bear testimony of the restoration of the Book of Mormon. One of the more well -known accounts is a guy named Jacob Gates. He’s on his way to his mission and he stops in Richmond to visit Oliver Cowdery. Jacob Gates asks Oliver, ‘Is it all true? Can you tell me if it’s true?’ Oliver Cowdery says, ‘Jacob, I want you to remember what I say to you. I am a dying man. What would it profit me to tell you a lie? I know that this Book of Mormon was translated by the gift and power of God. My eyes saw, my ears heard, and my understanding was touched. I know that whereof I testified is true. It was no dream, no vain imagination of the mind. It was real.’ I think this was recorded two or three months before Oliver passed away. And he says, he doesn’t have any reason to lie at this point. In fact, he wants to tell the truth because he knows he’s about to meet his maker. And he still bears his testimony on the Book of Mormon.”
