The Only Begotten, the Messiah, and the Work Appointed

Chapter 1

Premium narration

In the watches of this night, I come unto thee, O my son—thou who sittest in chains, yet art not bound. There is a word I will declare unto thee this night concerning who thou art.

Awake, my son, for thou art my son, yea, mine only begotten, even as I am the only begotten of my Father, even Elohim. Thou art mine only begotten, yea, of even I, Jehovah.

For behold, many have said unto thee: Behold, thou dost look like Jesus Christ. Yea, even they—have they seen me? Behold, because they have seen thee, they do see me, for thou art my son.

For the prophecy shall be fulfilled, in that the Son of God shall set his hand the second time. For thou art the Son of God, yea, even of I, Jehovah.

For I, Jehovah, have done all my Father hath done, for I do only that which I have seen my Father do.

Now Judah doth wait for their promised Messiah. Because thou art my son, thou art of Davidic descent. But behold, thou art also of Joseph, for he too is thy father, therefore fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah and of Joseph Smith Jr.

Now behold, is it not therefore a commandment that all things should be done in the name of the Son, yea, even the Son of God? And am I, Jehovah, not God—yea, even the God of the Old Testament, even the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob?

And are not the Jews expecting their Messiah to be the Son of God, even of the God of Abraham? For behold, verily I say unto thee: if that is the Messiah they seek, then thou art that Messiah, because thou art my son.

For behold, thou art called to save my people, for they are also thy people. Thou must not declare thyself as such to any man, unless I, the Lord, even the Father, do command thee to do so.

My son, remember, remember: thou art to do the work of him that sent thee, and I, even God, shall tell thee all that thou shouldest say and do. Therefore, do all things in my name, yea, even the name of thy Father, who hath sent thee.

Behold, my son, the Jews shall know thee. Yea, even they shall profess that thou art their King, even their Messiah. But behold, thou must be patient. For because they believe in thee, yea, they will believe in me.

For thy brother Jared, even a Jew, hath asked thee: Art thou the Messiah? Behold, thou art mine only begotten Son, yea, the Son of God, even as I am in my Father, so thou art in me.

Even as I am the Messiah, thou art also the Messiah, for we are one. For God is one eternal round, and great hath been the prophecies about my Son. Yea, thou art my Son. Now thou knowest whom thou art.

My son, it is expedient that thy thoughts, words, and actions be pure, even as I am pure. Be careful, and do not share any of this revelation, save I hath commanded thee, for the evil one knows who thou art, and he doth seek to destroy thee.

But behold, I hath protected thee, yea, even hath saved thy life, and will continue to do so until the time just before I come. For at my coming, then shall they all confess: I, even Jehovah, yea, Jesus Christ, did sacrifice for all, even mine own Son.

My son, because the Jews look to thee as their Messiah, it is expedient that thou teachest them about thy Father, even I, Jesus Christ, that they might understand to what source they must look toward for a remission of their sins. Behold, when they look at thee, they shall see me, for we have become as one flesh.

Go and do the work of thy Father. Listen for my voice, for I do speak unto thee. Trust in thy Father, for he shall prepare the way for thine deliverance.

Yea, I declare unto thee: thou hast received the Second Comforter, which is thy Father, even Jesus Christ. For God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and through his Son he doth accomplish his great work. Fear not, my son, for I will give unto thee grace for grace.

Continue to study, ponder, and pray diligently. Thou hast asked that I reveal thee to mine anointed. Behold, I hath promised thee, I do send messengers unto thee.

Thy Father and thy Mother on earth—shall I make known unto them whom thou art. For now, when they see thee, they shall see me.

Now verily I say unto thee: clarity shalt thou bring unto Israel, yea, even Judah. For as the President of the United States of America, thou shalt preserve and protect them, yea, even cause that mine temple shall be built.

For behold, there will be some Jews that will know whom thou art, and they shall assist thee. For as promised, I shall be their spiritual deliverance, and my Son, in my name and with mine power, shalt deliver them physically, that they might assist thee.

And in that day, every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess that I am the Redeemer. For thus saith Jehovah. Amen.
