Earth prepared for Celestial Glory

DC 88:17-18 the earth… must needs be… prepared for the celestial glory

Brigham Young
And this world, so benighted at present, and so lightly esteemed by infidels… when it becomes celestialized, it will be like the sun, and be prepared for the habitation of the saints, and be brought back into the presence of the Father and the Son. It will not then be an opaque body as it now is, but it will be like the stars of the firmament, full of light and glory: It will be a body of light. John compared it, in its celestialized state to a sea of glass. (Joseph Fielding Smith, Man, His Origin and Destiny [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1954], 31)
