His words

And after Christ shall have
risen from the dead
he shall show himself
unto you,
and the words
which he shall speak
unto you
shall be the law
which ye shall do.

The right way

And now behold,
I have spoken plainly
unto you,
that ye cannot
misunderstand.

And the words
which I have spoken
shall stand
as a testimony
against you;
for they are sufficient
to teach any man
the right way;
for the right way
is to believe in Christ
and deny him not;
for by denying him
ye also deny
the prophets and the law.

And now behold,
I say unto you
that the right way
is to believe in Christ,
and deny him not;
and Christ is
the Holy One of Israel;
wherefore
ye must bow down
before him,
and worship him
with all your
might, mind, and strength,
and your whole soul;
and if ye do this
ye shall in nowise be cast out.

We rejoice in Christ

We labor diligently to write,
to persuade our children,
and also our brethren,
to believe in Christ,
and to be reconciled to God;
for we know that
it is by grace
that we are saved,
after all we can do.

And we look forward
with steadfastness unto Christ,
for we are made alive in Christ
because of our faith.

And we talk of Christ,
we rejoice in Christ,
we preach of Christ,
we prophesy of Christ,
and we write
according to our prophecies,
that our children may know
to what source they may look
for a remission of their sins,
and that our children may
look forward unto that life
which is in Christ.

None other name

Yea, behold
I say unto you,
that as these things
are true,
and as the Lord God liveth,
there is none other name
given under heaven
save it be
this Jesus Christ,
of which I have spoken,
whereby man can be saved.

The true Messiah

Wherefore, he shall bring forth
his words unto them,
which words
shall judge them
at the last day,
for they shall be given them
for the purpose of
convincing them
of the true Messiah,
who was rejected by them;
and unto the convincing of them
that there is save one Messiah
spoken of by the prophets,
and that Messiah
is he who should be rejected.

For according to
the words of the prophets,
the Messiah cometh,
and according to
the words of the prophets, and also
the word of the angel of God,
his name shall be
Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

My soul delighteth

When the day cometh
that the Only Begotten
of the Father,
yea, even the Father
of heaven and of earth,
shall manifest himself
unto them in the flesh,
behold,
they will reject him,
because of their iniquities,
and the hardness
of their hearts,
and the stiffness
of their necks.

Behold,
they will crucify him;
and after he is laid
in a sepulchre
for the space of three days
he shall rise from the dead,
with healing in his wings;
and all those who
shall believe on his name
shall be saved
in the kingdom of God.

Wherefore,
my soul delighteth
to prophesy
concerning him,
for I have seen
his day,
and my heart
doth magnify
his holy name.

And behold
it shall come to pass
that after the Messiah
hath risen from the dead,
and hath manifested himself
unto his people,
unto as many as will
believe on his name,
behold,
wo unto them
that fight
against God
and the people
of his church.

My soul delighteth in His grace

And now I write more
of the words of Isaiah,
for my soul delighteth
in his words.

For I will send them forth
unto all my children,
for he verily saw
my Redeemer,
even as I have seen him.

And my brother also
has seen him
as I have seen him;
wherefore,
I will send their words forth
unto my children
to prove unto them
that my words are true.

Wherefore,
by the words of three,
God hath said,
I will establish my word.

Nevertheless,
God sendeth more witnesses,
and he proveth all his words.

Behold, my soul delighteth
in proving unto my people
the truth of the coming of Christ;
for all things
which have been given of God
from the beginning of the world,
unto man,
are the typifying of him.

Yea, my soul delighteth
in his grace,
and in his justice,
and power,
and mercy
in the great and eternal plan
of deliverance from death.

And my soul delighteth
in proving unto my people
that save Christ should come
all men must perish.

For if there be no Christ
there be no God;
and if there be no God
we are not,
for there could have been
no creation.

But there is a God,
and he is Christ,
and he cometh
in the fulness of his own time.

The power of the atonement

Reconcile yourselves
to the will of God,
and remember,
after ye are reconciled
unto God,
that it is only in
and through
the grace of God
that ye are saved.

Wherefore,
may God raise you
from death
by the power
of the resurrection,
and also
from everlasting death
by the power
of the atonement,
that ye may be received
into the eternal kingdom of God,
that ye may praise him
through grace divine.

They shall be restored

It must needs be expedient
that Christ should come
among the Jews,
and they shall crucify him,
for thus it behooveth our God.

But behold,
thus saith the Lord God:
When the day cometh
that they shall believe in me,
that I am Christ,
then have I covenanted
with their fathers
that they shall be restored
in the flesh,
upon the earth,
unto the lands
of their inheritance.

None other way

O, give ear to my words.

Remember the greatness of
the Holy One of Israel.

O then, come unto the Lord,
the Holy One.

Remember that
his paths are righteous.

Behold, the way for man is narrow,
but it lieth in a straight course before him,
and the keeper of the gate is
the Holy One of Israel;
and he employeth no servant there;
and there is none other way
save it be by the gate;
for he cannot be deceived,
for the Lord God is his name.

And whoso knocketh,
to him will he open.

O, come unto that God
who is the rock of your salvation.

The mercy of the Holy One

O the greatness of the mercy of our God,
the Holy One of Israel!
For he delivereth his saints
from that awful monster the devil,
and death,
and hell,
and that lake of fire and brimstone,
which is endless torment.

And he cometh into the world
that he may save all men
if they will hearken unto his voice;
for behold,
he suffereth the pains of all men,
yea, the pains of every living creature,
both men, women, and children,
who belong to the family of Adam.

And he suffereth this
that the resurrection
might pass upon all men,
that all might stand before him
at the great and judgment day.

And he commandeth all men that
they must repent,
and be baptized in his name,
having perfect faith
in the Holy One of Israel,
or they cannot be saved
in the kingdom of God.

And if they will not repent
and believe in his name,
and be baptized in his name,
and endure to the end,
they must be damned;
for the Lord God,
the Holy One of Israel,
has spoken it.

An infinite atonement

Yea, I know that ye know
that in the body
he shall show himself,
for it behooveth the great Creator
that he suffereth himself
to become subject unto man
in the flesh,
and die for all men,
that all men might
become subject unto him.

For as death hath passed upon all men,
to fulfil the merciful plan
of the great Creator,
there must needs be
a power of resurrection.

Wherefore, it must needs be
an infinite atonement.

And because of the way
of deliverance of our God,
the Holy One of Israel,
this death which is the temporal,
shall deliver up its dead;
which death is the grave.

And this death of which I have spoken,
which is the spiritual death,
shall deliver up its dead;
which spiritual death is hell.

Wherefore, death and hell
must deliver up their dead,
and hell must deliver up
its captive spirits,
and the grave must deliver up
its captive bodies,
and the bodies and the spirits of men
will be restored one to the other;
and it is by the power
of the resurrection
of the Holy One of Israel.

All shall know

And all flesh shall know
that I the Lord am
thy Savior
and thy Redeemer,
the Mighty One of Jacob.

Power and great glory

And behold,
according to the words of the prophet,
the Messiah will set himself again
the second time
to recover them;
wherefore,
he will manifest himself unto them
in power and great glory,
unto the destruction of their enemies,
when that day cometh
when they shall believe in him;
and none will he destroy
that believe in him.

And they that believe not in him
shall be destroyed.

And they shall know
that the Lord is God,
the Holy One of Israel.

Merciful Redeemer

The Lord will be merciful
unto them,
that when they shall come
to the knowledge
of their Redeemer,
they shall be gathered
together again.

Free to choose

And the Messiah cometh
in the fulness of time,
that he may redeem
the children of men
from the fall.

And because that they are
redeemed from the fall
they have become free forever.

And they are free to choose
liberty and eternal life,
through the great
Mediator of all men,
or to choose captivity and death,
according to the captivity and power
of the devil.

And now I would that
ye should look
to the great Mediator,
and hearken unto
his great commandments;
and be faithful
unto his words,
and choose eternal life,
according to the will of his Holy Spirit

How great the importance

I know that thou art redeemed,
because of
the righteousness of thy Redeemer;
for thou hast beheld
that in the fulness of time
he cometh
to bring salvation unto men.

And thou hast beheld
in thy youth
his glory;
wherefore, thou art blessed
even as they
unto whom he shall minister
in the flesh;
for the Spirit is the same,
yesterday, today, and forever.

And the way is prepared
from the fall of man,
and salvation is free.

Wherefore, redemption cometh
in and through
the Holy Messiah;
for he is full of grace and truth.

Behold, he offereth himself
a sacrifice for sin,
to answer the ends of the law,
unto all those
who have a broken heart and
a contrite spirit.

Wherefore, how great the importance
to make these things known
unto the inhabitants of the earth,
that they may know that
there is no flesh
that can dwell in the presence of God,
save it be through
the merits, and mercy, and grace of
the Holy Messiah,
who layeth down his life
according to the flesh,
and taketh it again
by the power of the Spirit,
that he may bring to pass
the resurrection of the dead,
being the first that should rise.

Wherefore,
he is the firstfruits unto God,
inasmuch as
he shall make intercession
for all the children of men;
and they that believe in him
shall be saved.

And because of
the intercession for all,
all men come unto God;
wherefore, they stand
in the presence of him,
to be judged of him
according to
the truth and holiness
which is in him.

Reject not the Holy One

Behold, I say,
if the day shall come
that they will reject
the Holy One of Israel,
the true Messiah,
their Redeemer
and their God,
behold,
the judgments of
him that is just
shall rest upon them.

The Holy One of Israel reigns

They shall be brought out of obscurity
and out of darkness;
and they shall know that
the Lord is their Savior
and their Redeemer,
the Mighty One of Israel.

And the Lord will surely
prepare a way for his people,
unto the fulfilling of the words of Moses,
which he spake, saying:
A prophet
shall the Lord your God raise up unto you,
like unto me;
him shall ye hear in all things
whatsoever he shall say unto you.

And it shall come to pass
that all those who will not hear that prophet
shall be cut off from among the people.

And now I declare unto you,
that this prophet
of whom Moses spake
was the Holy One of Israel;
wherefore, he shall execute judgment
in righteousness.

And the time cometh speedily that
the righteous must be led up
as calves of the stall,
and the Holy One of Israel must reign
in dominion, and might, and power, and great glory.

And he gathereth his children
from the four quarters of the earth;
and he numbereth his sheep,
and they know him;
and there shall be one fold
and one shepherd;
and he shall feed his sheep,
and in him they shall find pasture
for they dwell in righteousness,
and the Holy One of Israel reigneth.

His loving kindness

And behold he cometh,
according to the words of the angel.

And the world,
because of their iniquity,
shall judge him to be a thing of naught.

Wherefore they scourge him,
and he suffereth it;
and they smite him,
and he suffereth it;
yea, they spit upon him,
and he suffereth it,
because of his loving kindness
and his long-suffering
towards the children of men.

And the God of our fathers
yieldeth himself,
according to the words of the angel,
as a man,
into the hands of wicked men,
to be lifted up,
and to be crucified,
and to be buried in a sepulchre.

Yea, and all the earth shall see
the salvation of the Lord,
and every nation, kindred, tongue and people
shall be blessed.

The power of the Lamb

And it came to pass
that I beheld
the power of the Lamb of God,
that it descended upon
the saints of the church of the Lamb,
and upon the covenant people of the Lord,
who were scattered
upon all the face of the earth;
and they were armed
with righteousness
and with the power of God
in great glory.

Hearken

And it shall come to pass,
that if the Gentiles shall hearken
unto the Lamb of God
in that day
that he shall manifest himself
unto them in word,
and also in power,
in very deed,
unto the taking away
of their stumbling blocks—
and harden not their hearts
against the Lamb of God,
they shall be
a blessed people.

They shall be
no more brought down
into captivity.

Make known

Make known
to all kindreds, tongues, and people,
that the Lamb of God
is the Son of the Eternal Father,
and the Savior of the world;
and that all men
must come unto him,
or they cannot be saved.

And the time cometh
that he shall manifest himself
unto all nations.

Righteous forever

And I saw the heavens open,
and the Lamb of God
descending out of heaven;
and he came down
and showed himself unto them.

And, behold,
they are righteous forever;
for because of their faith
in the Lamb of God
their garments are made white
in his blood.

The Lamb of God

And I looked, and I beheld the Son of God
going forth among the children of men;
and I saw many fall down at his feet
and worship him.

And the angel said unto me again:
Look and behold
the condescension of God!

And I looked and beheld
the Redeemer of the world,
of whom my father had spoken;
and I also beheld the prophet
who should prepare the way before him.

And the Lamb of God went forth
and was baptized of him;
and after he was baptized,
I beheld the heavens open,
and the Holy Ghost come down
out of heaven
and abide upon him
in the form of a dove.

And I beheld that he went forth
ministering unto the people,
in power and great glory;
and the multitudes
were gathered together
to hear him;
and I beheld that
they cast him out from among them.

And I beheld the Lamb of God
going forth among the children of men.

And I beheld multitudes of people
who were sick,
and who were afflicted
with all manner of diseases,
and with devils and unclean spirits;
and the angel spake
and showed all these things unto me.

And they were healed
by the power of the Lamb of God;
and the devils and the unclean spirits
were cast out.

And I looked and beheld
the Lamb of God,
that he was taken by the people;
yea, the Son of the everlasting God
was judged of the world;
and I saw and bear record.

And I saw that he was lifted up
upon the cross and slain
for the sins of the world.

The Condescension of God

And I beheld the city of Nazareth;
and in the city of Nazareth I beheld a virgin,
and she was exceedingly fair and white.

And it came to pass
that I saw the heavens open;
and an angel came down and stood before me;
and he said unto me
what beholdest thou?

And I said unto him:
A virgin, most beautiful and fair above all other virgins.

And he said unto me:
Knowest thou the condescension of God?

And I said unto him:
I know that he loveth his children;
nevertheless,
I do not know the meaning of all things.

And he said unto me:
Behold, the virgin whom thou seest
is the mother of the Son of God,
after the manner of the flesh.

And it came to pass
that I beheld
that she was carried away in the Spirit;
and after she had been carried away in the Spirit
for the space of a time
the angel spake unto me, saying:
Look!

And I looked and beheld the virgin again,
bearing a child in her arms.

And the angel said unto me:
Behold the Lamb of God,
yea, even the Son of the Eternal Father!

You are blessed

And blessed art thou
because thou believest in
the Son of the most high God.

And him shall ye witness;
and after ye have witnessed him
ye shall bear record that
it is the Son of God.

The Coming Messiah

My father spake unto them
concerning a prophet would the Lord God raise up among the Jews—
even a Messiah,
or, in other words,
a Savior of the world.

And he also spake concerning the prophets,
how great a number had testified of these things,
concerning this Messiah,
of whom he had spoken,
or this Redeemer of the world.

Wherefore, all mankind were in a lost and in a fallen state,
and ever would be
save they should rely on this Redeemer.

And he spake also concerning a prophet
who should come before the Messiah,
to prepare the way of the Lord—
Yea, even he should go forth and cry in the wilderness:
Prepare ye the way of the Lord,
and make his paths straight;
for there standeth one among you whom ye know not;
and he is mightier than I,
whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

And my father said he should baptize in Bethabara,
beyond Jordan;
and he also said he should baptize with water;
even that he should baptize the Messiah with water.

And after he had baptized the Messiah with water,
he should behold and bear record
that he had baptized
the Lamb of God,
who should take away the sins of the world.

And it came to pass after my father had spoken these words
he spake unto my brethren concerning the gospel
which should be preached.

And after they had slain the Messiah, who should come,
and after he had been slain
he should rise from the dead,
and should make himself manifest
unto the Gentiles.

And after the house of Israel should be scattered
they should be gathered together again;
or, in fine.
come to the knowledge of the true Messiah,
their Lord and their Redeemer.

The One

And it came to pass that he saw One
descending out of the midst of heaven,

and he beheld that his luster
was above that of the sun
at noon-day.

"Testify of me"

Jesus said,
"Search the scriptures;
for in them ye think ye have eternal life:
and they are they which testify of me."
