10
And the God of our fathers, who were led out
of Egypt, out of bondage, and also were preserved in the wilderness by
him, yea, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and the God of Jacob,
yieldeth himself, according to the words of the angel, as a man, into
the hands of wicked men, to be lifted up, according to the words of
Zenock, and to be crucified, according to the words of Neum, and to be
buried in a sepulchre, according to the words of Zenos, which he spake
concerning the three days of darkness, which should be a sign given of
his death unto those who should inhabit the isles of the sea, more especially given unto those who are of the house of Israel.
• • •
13
And as for those who are
at Jerusalem, saith the prophet, they shall be scourged by all people,
because they crucify the God of Israel, and turn their hearts aside,
rejecting signs and wonders, and the power and glory of the God of
Israel.
• • •
16
Yea, then will he remember the isles of the sea; yea, and all the people who are
of the house of Israel, will I gather in, saith the Lord, according to
the words of the prophet Zenos, from the four quarters of the earth.
• • •
20
For behold, I have workings in the spirit, which doth weary me even that all my joints are weak, for those who are
at Jerusalem; for had not the Lord been merciful, to show unto me
concerning them, even as he had prophets of old, I should have perished
also.
• • •
24
Wherefore I spake unto them, saying: Hear ye the words of the prophet, ye who are a remnant of the house of Israel, a branch who
have been broken off; hear ye the words of the prophet, which were
written unto all the house of Israel, and liken them unto yourselves,
that ye may have hope as well as your brethren from whom ye have been
broken off; for after this manner has the prophet written.
4
And behold, there are many who are already lost from the knowledge of those who are at Jerusalem. Yea, the more part of all the tribes have been led away; and they are scattered to and fro upon the isles of the sea; and whither they are none of us knoweth, save that we know that they have been led away.
• • •
6
Nevertheless, after they shall be nursed by the Gentiles, and the Lord
has lifted up his hand upon the Gentiles and set them up for a standard,
and their children have been carried in their arms, and their daughters
have been carried upon their shoulders, behold these things of which are spoken are temporal; for thus are the covenants of the Lord with our fathers; and it meaneth us in the days to come, and also all our brethren who are of the house of Israel.
• • •
11
Wherefore, the Lord God will proceed to make bare his arm in the eyes of
all the nations, in bringing about his covenants and his gospel unto
those who are of the house of Israel.
• • •
23
For the time speedily shall come that all churches which are built up to get gain, and all those who are built up to get power over the flesh, and those who are built up to become popular in the eyes of the world, and those who seek the lusts of the flesh and the things of the world, and to do all manner of iniquity; yea, in fine, all those who belong to the kingdom of the devil are they who need fear, and tremble, and quake; they are those who must be brought low in the dust; they are those who must be consumed as stubble; and this is according to the words of the prophet.
16
And assuredly, as the Lord liveth, for the Lord God hath spoken it, and
it is his eternal word, which cannot pass away, that they who are righteous shall be righteous still, and they who are filthy shall be filthy still; wherefore, they who are filthy are
the devil and his angels; and they shall go away into everlasting fire,
prepared for them; and their torment is as a lake of fire and
brimstone, whose flame ascendeth up forever and ever and has no end.
• • •
30
But wo unto the rich, who are rich as to the things of the world. For because they are rich they despise the poor, and they persecute the meek, and their hearts are upon their treasures; wherefore, their treasure is their god. And behold, their treasure shall perish with them also.
• • •
42
And whoso knocketh, to him will he open; and the wise, and the learned, and they that are rich, who are puffed up because of their learning, and their wisdom, and their riches—yea, they are
they whom he despiseth; and save they shall cast these things away, and
consider themselves fools before God, and come down in the depths of
humility, he will not open unto them.
12
And then shall it come to pass, that the spirits of those who are righteous are
received into a state of happiness, which is called paradise, a state
of rest, a state of peace, where they shall rest from all their troubles
and from all care, and sorrow.
13
And then shall it come to pass, that the spirits of the wicked, yea, who are
evil—for behold, they have no part nor portion of the Spirit of the
Lord; for behold, they chose evil works rather than good; therefore the
spirit of the devil did enter into them, and take possession of their
house—and these shall be cast out into outer darkness; there shall be
weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth, and this because of their
own iniquity, being led captive by the will of the devil.
• • •
16
And behold, again it hath been spoken, that there is a first resurrection, a resurrection of all those who have been, or who are, or who shall be, down to the resurrection of Christ from the dead.
17
But behold, now the Lamanites are coming upon us, taking possession of our lands, and they are
murdering our people with the sword, yea, our women and our children,
and also carrying them away captive, causing them that they should
suffer all manner of afflictions, and this because of the great
wickedness of those who are seeking for power and authority, yea, even those king-men.
• • •
22
Yea, will ye sit in idleness while ye are surrounded with thousands of those, yea, and tens of thousands, who do also sit in idleness, while there are thousands round about in the borders of the land who are falling by the sword, yea, wounded and bleeding?
12
Yea, wo unto this great city of Zarahemla; for behold, it is because of those who are righteous that it is saved; yea, wo unto this great city, for I perceive, saith the Lord, that there are many, yea, even the more part of this great city, that will harden their hearts against me, saith the Lord.
13
But blessed are they who will repent, for them will I spare. But behold, if it were not for the righteous who are in this great city, behold, I would cause that fire should come down out of heaven and destroy it.
• • •
17
And behold, a curse shall come upon the land, saith the Lord of Hosts, because of the peoples’ sake who are upon the land, yea, because of their wickedness and their abominations.
8
But wo, saith the Father, unto the unbelieving of the Gentiles—for
notwithstanding they have come forth upon the face of this land, and
have scattered my people who are of the house of Israel; and my people who are of the house of Israel have been cast out from among them, and have been trodden under feet by them;
9
And because of the mercies of the Father unto the Gentiles, and also the judgments of the Father upon my people who are of the house of Israel, verily, verily, I say unto you, that after all this, and I have caused my people who are
of the house of Israel to be smitten, and to be afflicted, and to be
slain, and to be cast out from among them, and to become hated by them,
and to become a hiss and a byword among them—
• • •
14
And I will not suffer my people, who are of the house of Israel, to go through among them, and tread them down, saith the Father.
2
And behold, this is the thing which I will give unto you for a sign—for
verily I say unto you that when these things which I declare unto you,
and which I shall declare unto you hereafter of myself, and by the power
of the Holy Ghost which shall be given unto you of the Father, shall be
made known unto the Gentiles that they may know concerning this people who are a remnant of the house of Jacob, and concerning this my people who shall be scattered by them;
• • •
7
And when these things come to pass that thy seed shall begin to know
these things—it shall be a sign unto them, that they may know that the
work of the Father hath already commenced unto the fulfilling of the
covenant which he hath made unto the people who are of the house of Israel.
• • •
11
Therefore it shall come to pass that whosoever will not believe in my words, who
am Jesus Christ, which the Father shall cause him to bring forth unto
the Gentiles, and shall give unto him power that he shall bring them
forth unto the Gentiles, (it shall be done even as Moses said) they
shall be cut off from among my people who are of the covenant.
12
And my people who are
a remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles, yea, in the midst of
them as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the
flocks of sheep, who, if he go through both treadeth down and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.
• • •
24
And then shall they assist my people that they may be gathered in, who are scattered upon all the face of the land, in unto the New Jerusalem.
D&C 76: 21, 32, 46, 48, 53-54, 56, 66, 69, 71, 73, 75, 79, 84, 88, 99, 103, 106
21
And saw the holy angels, and them who are sanctified before his throne, worshiping God, and the Lamb, who worship him forever and ever.
• • •
32
They are they who are the sons of perdition, of whom I say that it had been better for them never to have been born;
• • •
46
Neither was it revealed, neither is, neither will be revealed unto man, except to them who are made partakers thereof;
• • •
48
Wherefore, the end, the width, the height, the depth, and the misery thereof, they understand not, neither any man except those who are ordained unto this condemnation.
• • •
53
And who overcome by faith, and are sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise, which the Father sheds forth upon all those who are just and true.
54
They are they who are the church of the Firstborn.
• • •
56
They are they who are priests and kings, who have received of his fulness, and of his glory;
• • •
66
These are they who are come unto Mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly place, the holiest of all.
• • •
69
These are they who are just men made perfect through Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, who wrought out this perfect atonement through the shedding of his own blood.
• • •
71
And again, we saw the terrestrial world, and behold and lo, these are they who are of the terrestrial, whose glory differs from that of the church of the Firstborn who have received the fulness of the Father, even as that of the moon differs from the sun in the firmament.
• • •
73
And also they who are
the spirits of men kept in prison, whom the Son visited, and preached
the gospel unto them, that they might be judged according to men in the
flesh;
• • •
75
These are they who are honorable men of the earth, who were blinded by the craftiness of men.
• • •
79
These are they who are not valiant in the testimony of Jesus; wherefore, they obtain not the crown over the kingdom of our God.
• • •
84
These are they who are thrust down to hell.
• • •
88
And also the telestial receive it of the administering of angels who are appointed to minister for them, or who are appointed to be ministering spirits for them; for they shall be heirs of salvation.
• • •
99
For these are they who are of Paul, and of Apollos, and of Cephas.
• • •
103
These are they who are liars, and sorcerers, and adulterers, and whoremongers, and whosoever loves and makes a lie.
• • •
106
These are they who are
cast down to hell and suffer the wrath of Almighty God, until the
fulness of times, when Christ shall have subdued all enemies under his
feet, and shall have perfected his work;
20
That bodies who are of the celestial kingdom may possess it forever and ever; for, for this intent was it made and created, and for this intent are they sanctified.
21
And they who are not
sanctified through the law which I have given unto you, even the law of
Christ, must inherit another kingdom, even that of a terrestrial
kingdom, or that of a telestial kingdom.
• • •
28
They who are of a
celestial spirit shall receive the same body which was a natural body;
even ye shall receive your bodies, and your glory shall be that glory by
which your bodies are quickened.
29
Ye who are quickened by a portion of the celestial glory shall then receive of the same, even a fulness.
30
And they who are quickened by a portion of the terrestrial glory shall then receive of the same, even a fulness.
31
And also they who are quickened by a portion of the telestial glory shall then receive of the same, even a fulness.
• • •
70
Tarry ye, tarry ye in this place, and call a solemn assembly, even of those who are the first laborers in this last kingdom.
• • •
74
And I give unto you, who are
the first laborers in this last kingdom, a commandment that you
assemble yourselves together, and organize yourselves, and prepare
yourselves, and sanctify yourselves; yea, purify your hearts, and
cleanse your hands and your feet before me, that I may make you clean;
• • •
85
That their souls may escape the wrath of God, the desolation of
abomination which awaits the wicked, both in this world and in the world
to come. Verily, I say unto you, let those who are
not the first elders continue in the vineyard until the mouth of the
Lord shall call them, for their time is not yet come; their garments are not clean from the blood of this generation.
• • •
96
And the saints that are upon the earth, who are alive, shall be quickened and be caught up to meet him.
• • •
98
They are Christ’s, the first fruits, they who shall descend with him first, and they who are on the earth and in their graves, who are first caught up to meet him; and all this by the voice of the sounding of the trump of the angel of God.
99
And after this another angel shall sound, which is the second trump; and then cometh the redemption of those who are Christ’s at his coming; who
have received their part in that prison which is prepared for them,
that they might receive the gospel, and be judged according to men in
the flesh.
100
And again, another trump shall sound, which is the third trump; and then come the spirits of men who are to be judged, and are found under condemnation;
• • •
102
And another trump shall sound, which is the fourth trump, saying: There are found among those who are to remain until that great and last day, even the end, who shall remain filthy still.
• • •
127
And again, the order of the house prepared for the presidency of the
school of the prophets, established for their instruction in all things
that are expedient for them, even for all the officers of the church, or in other words, those who are called to the ministry in the church, beginning at the high priests, even down to the deacons—
