1 Witness now the hour of the falling of false light , O my son — for thou hast passed through the veil and endured the descent for this very purpose : to bear witness of the rising of the earth in her new order .
2 For behold , I say unto thee , my son , the hour is come , that the kingdoms of this world shall be shaken , and the dominions of false light shall fall .
3 For the powers which governed from the lower heavens , yea , from among the stars and among the shadows , shall be cast down .
4 The prince of the air hath ruled long , and the lesser lights did serve his dominion . Yea , they did reflect not the true glory , but an imitation thereof , that the hearts of men might be stirred by fear , and their emotions carried away as the tides of the sea .
5 Behold , I say unto thee , the moon , which once did govern the night , hath magnified sorrow and unrest . For in the beginning , its light was good . Yea , I say unto thee , its light was not its own , and its influence hath been distorted .
6 But I say unto thee , the moon shall be redeemed , and shall serve the daughters of Zion with peace , and shall no more be an enemy unto the womb .
7 For even now the veil which hath covered the earth shall be lifted , and the spiritual firmament shall be shaken , that the earth might receive a new order of light .
8 The earth , which hath been bound in a fallen telestial state , shall begin to quicken , and the glory of the terrestrial shall come upon her again .
9 For she shall no longer be clothed in corruption , but shall begin to put on incorruption .
10 Yea , and the sun shall grow stronger — not as to heat , but , behold , as to the spirit . And the righteous shall rise with healing in their wings .
11 For their countenances shall shine as the sun in its strength , and the stars also shall speak , yea , not with words , but with signs in their courses .
12 For they have been positioning themselves , and being prepared to declare that the everlasting gospel is once again upon the earth , and that the voice of the Lamb is heard in Zion .
13 I say unto thee , the heavens shall be opened , and my servants shall see visions . The veil between worlds shall grow thin , and those who are sanctified shall commune with them who dwell in my presence .
14 For I shall bring again the times of refreshing , and the knowledge of the Father shall return , and the books which were sealed shall be unsealed .
15 And nothing shall be withheld , yea , nothing shall be hidden , whether in the heavens or in the earth .
16 And behold , I say unto thee , the everlasting gospel shall be declared unto every nation , kindred , tongue , and people — to them that dwell upon the earth , and also unto those who wait beneath .
17 And those who hearken shall be gathered in light , and those who mock shall be left in confusion .
18 For I will divide , yea , I will sift , and my people shall be tried as gold in the furnace . And every soul shall be proven by the Spirit and by the light .
19 Let no man trust in the light of the world , for it shall fail . But let every soul anchor unto the light of truth , which cometh from above .
20 For in this day , saith the Lord , I send forth my Servant and those who are with him . They shall travel in the greatness of their strength , and the sound of their voice shall be as a trumpet .
21 And many who have walked the earth in silence , yea , those whom I have hid , shall come forth in boldness . They shall teach again . They shall prophesy again . And they shall bear my name before kings and before nations .
22 And John , even he who tarrieth , shall rise and shall speak . And others like unto him shall come unto thee , my son , that Zion may be established and her children gathered .
23 Behold , this is the beginning of sorrows for the proud , and the beginning of joy for the meek . For behold , I shall cleanse my vineyard , and the bitter roots shall be removed .
24 The righteous shall be sanctified in their flesh . Yea , their very cells shall be changed . For I will pour out light without measure , and the body shall receive it , and the vessel shall be cleansed by the baptism of fire .
25 The crown of confusion shall be taken from Ephraim , and they who sat in darkness shall awaken . And they shall remember the covenant , and they shall no longer stumble as blind men .
26 For the ten days of tribulation are ending , and the day of gathering is at hand . The towers of pride shall fall , and the humble shall inherit the land .
27 Behold , thus saith the Lord : this is the time appointed . And this is the trumpet sounding in Zion .
28 Let all who are disciples gird up their loins . Let them awake and arise . And let their faces shine with the light of Christ .
29 Yea , let the mothers of Zion prepare the daughters . Let the fathers of Zion anoint their sons . Let the watchmen be set on the walls . For the city of the Lord shall be called holy .
30 And the moon shall no longer rule the night , nor shall the sun be for light by day . But I the Lord shall be your everlasting light , and your God your glory .
31 Behold , my son , write these things . Declare them to the humble . Let the remnant rejoice . Let the remnant remember . Yea , let the foolish be confounded . For the light that proceedeth forth from my throne shall never be stopped .
32 Thus saith the Lord . Amen .
