"And he shall plant in the hearts of the children the promises made to the fathers, and the hearts of the children shall turn to their fathers. If it were not so, the whole earth would be utterly wasted at his coming."
D&C 2: 2-3

Pearl of Great Price - Joseph Smith History 1: 37-39
"The keys that Elijah held were the keys of the everlasting priesthood, the keys of the sealing power, which the Lord gave unto him. And that is what he . . . gave to the Prophet Joseph Smith; and that included a ministry of sealing for the living as well as the dead - and it is not confined to the living and it is not confined to the dead, but includes both.
"Elijah's mission was the sealing power. He held the keys by which the parents could be sealed together and children sealed to parents. But what was the nature of his mission to the earth in these latter days? Elijah came to restore to the earth, by conferring on mortal prophets duly commissioned of the Lord, the fulness of the power of priesthood."
(Doctrines of Salvation, 2:111-12, 117.)
