Reflections of the Gospel and the Blessings 8

Shake thyself from the dust; arise, sit down, O Jerusalem; loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter Zion.

Then I bear a witness and say: for thus saith the Lord: Ye men of Israel, children of Jacob, ye have sold yourselves for naught unto the gentiles and ye do worship them in ignorance, and ye shall be redeemed without money.

The day cometh; verily, verily I say unto you, that the people of the Lord shall know my name; yea, in that day they shall know that I am he that doth speak.

For in a mighty preparation and redemption shall I make of them for I will send one mighty and strong, who is my faithful and obedient servant, and then shall they say:

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings unto them, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings unto them of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion: thy God reigneth!

Then shall a cry go forth from the land of the fathers, the land of the first inheritance unto all who hath eyes to see and ears to hear:

Depart ye, depart ye, go out from thence, touch not that which is unclean; go ye out from the midst of the daughter of spiritual Babylon; be ye clean that bear the vessels of the Lord.

For the Lord hath spoken concerning this thing: For behold, my servant shall deal prudently with the gentile. When that day shall come, even in a day when the seed of Jacob, indeed, the seed of Nephi, shall be begin to know these things, it shall not come from the gentile to them but shall come from the Father unto them.

This is a sign that the work of the Father hath already commenced, even that the Lord is revealing these truths unto one.

For if there be one among you that doeth good, he shall work by the power and gifts of God.

Then the Father shall cause that this one shall reveal truths hid even unto the gentile heads, and the Lord shall shut their mouths at what they shall hear; for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they considered.

And the Father shall cause him to bring forth truth out of the earth unto the gentiles, and the Father shall give him power that he shall bring them forth unto the gentiles, (then, it shall be done even as Moses said) they shall be cut off from among my people who are of the covenant.

Then, my people who are a remnant of Jacob shall be among the gentile, yea, in them midst of them as a lion among the beast of the forest, as a young lion among the flock of sheep, who, if he goeth through both treadeth down and treareth in pieces, and none can deliver.

I bear a witness that the Savior Jesus Christ shall stand again in the land of the first inheritance for he did say at another time:

Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

Wherefore, ye men of the Remnant, and O' Israel, hear ye what hath been prophesied by your fathers and open thine eyes and unplug thine ears that ye may see and hear this familiar spirit of the which resonates in the gospel of Christ, from the beginning even before the world wast unto this time that ye may prepare for the bridegroom cometh in a day of redemption.

Even the very angels in heaven anxiously await and cannot contain themselves any longer, and they cry repeatedly when the day of retribution is to come; for the time of his coming is nigh at hand.

In this the time of Israel that I am speaking of, I speak and say that the Dispensation of the Grace of God is fulfilled, in other words, the times of the gentiles is fulfilled and is closed, and the gentile have no power to make afraid or shall they disturb the people of the Lord.

Yea, notwithstanding the blessings given of God to the gentile, they have turned there from the Lord all righteousness; then in a mighty preparation shall all the righteous men and women of God, in perfected-resurrected bodies dwell in the land of the first inheritance.

These are they who are the people of the Lord unto whom the blessings spoken of shall come.

For the spirit of the Lord speaketh the unsearchable mysteries, even eternal truths hid unto man, he saith:

The Lord God Almighty, the God of our fathers, even the Great I AM, yea I say, that very same Jesus that is called the Christ shall come with other key members of his kingdom, and a resurrection shall be called forth and many graves shall be opened, even of them that have slept unto the four corners of the earth; and they shall be commanded to come to the land of the first inheritance, and this is only the beginning of greater things to come to pass according to holy writ.

Many shall be given the blessing of nurturing and raising children unto God without opposition and many, many righteous children shall be brought in flesh to receive the blessings of the gospel without impediment and distractions as heretofore happened.

Therefore, I speak and say: That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter; because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as ye have been forewarned in other writings of saintly servants.

For God in preparing a holy people, doth not call his servants unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

He therefore that has heard this thing or hast read such a thing written, despiseth what hast been written in warning to repent, despiseth not man, but God, who hath given unto righteous servants his holy spirit, and by this power are all such forewarnings written.

Great shall be the joy and happiness of a Zion people, a pure and righteous people before the Lord; and none shall stay the work of the Lord nor make afraid the people of the Lord.

In that day there shall be some, yea, even other tribes of Israel that shall come to see such a people whose God is the Lord, and they shall come for they shall hear that the Lord talks to this people for the Lord is their God.

Then shall we say, where is our mother Rebekah, does she yet speak of me?

And we shall have the blessings of knowing and to be fully acquainted with all our mothers from since the beginning, and great shall be the joy of the people of the Lord for our umbilical cord shall yet be blessed by our mothers and by our mother the earth.

The people of the Lord shall be an industrious people whose hands are of God.

Yea, they shall plant many fields with fruit bearing trees, grapes of every kind, and fields of corn and wheat shall be their main stay, and all manner of livestock shall be found in their fields and all sorts of vegetables shall be planted to sustain a small nation.

The fields shall be bounteous and great shall be their store houses to feed the poor of Israel, but they shall be rich in God and great shall be their righteousness before the God of Abraham.

For they shall be a blessed people of the Lord. God shall bless them in season, even an extended season of rain and a mild temperate climate shall be theirs to excel production, cutting the season in short.

They shall be taught from on high and their school master shall be their fathers from ancient times, and they shall be taught concerning the manner of irrigation and the manner of the harvest, the very act of preservation of fruit and the harvest, that through obedience all shall have things in common, and God shall give them revelations.

And they shall be taught of the pure gospel of Christ, and there shall not be found a more happier and delightful people, raised in purity and the graciousness of the charity of the Lord, and the Lord shall be among his people.

Then it shall be said of the Lord: Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God; thus saith the Lord God to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen round about;

Wherefore, my faithful servant prophesy ye unto the mountains, the hills, the valleys, to the rivers, and to all the desolate cities which have been forsaken by the gentiles and the bondage they have made of them; Behold, I, the Lord, have spoken aforetime in my jealousy and in my fury for the works of thy fathers, wherefore, ye have borne the shame of the heathen unto this day;

Therefore, thus saith the Lord, I have lifted up mine hand, surely the heathen that is round about thee shall bear their shame; but ye mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand to come.

For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and sown; and I will multiply my covenant people upon you, all the house of Israel, even of it they shall become a small nation preserved and established in the name of the Lord; and the cities shall yet be inhabited of a righteous people, and the ancient waste places shall be builded up again.

I will cause to multiply upon thee man and beast; and they shall increase and bring forth fruit; and I will settle you after your old estates, and I will do better unto you than at your beginnings; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

Yea, I shall cause men to walk upon you, even my people, the remnant of Joseph and their kindred; and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, even a land of the first inheritance, and thou shalt no more bereave them of men.
