12--589. **This Wandering Planet Bring.** "This earth will be rolled back into the presence of God and crowned with celestial glory."--Joseph Smith (Compendium, p. 288). 13--613. **The Hour of Noon.** The Meridian Dispensation. 14--615. **Light's Sun and Moon.** Christ, the light of the sun, moon and stars, and the power by which they were made. (D. and C. 88:7, 8, 9.) 15--619. **Elias? Yea and Nay.** John the Baptist, forerunner of the Christ, was an Elias, a restorer; but, according to Joseph Smith, not the Elias who is to restore all things. There are many Eliases, Joseph says: "When God sends a man into the world to prepare for a greater work, holding the keys of the power of Elias, it was called the doctrine of Elias even from the early ages of the world." (Compendium, p. 281.) 16--621. **Learned to Shine.** Before the Twelve Apostles were chosen, John the Baptist proclaimed the Lamb of God, and said concerning Him: "He must increase, and I must decrease." John was therefore as the waning Moon in the presence of the rising Sun. 17--640. **A City Doomed.** Jerusalem, over which the Saviour wept, prophesying its downfall. (Matthew 23:37-39.) 18--656. **Gloom-Wrapt Gethsemane.** The Saviour's agony in the Garden of Gethsemane is an incident familiar to every reader of the New Testament. 19--675. **Immanuel.** One of the titles of the Saviour, meaning "God with us." --- CANTO FOUR 1--Title: **Night and the Wilderness.** This part of the poem is an allegory of the Christian or Meridian Dispensation, following the death of Jesus and his forerunner; portraying the mission of the Comforter, and showing the departure from the primitive Faith, after the passing of the apostolic Twelve, one of whom--the Church having gone into the Wilderness--remains to testify of things to come. The "Night" is the spiritual night that followed the setting of the Sun of Righteousness--a night lit by Moon and Stars, with lesser lights twinkling through the Dark Ages and onward into modern times. The "Wilderness" is the world invisible. (D. and C. 88:66.) 2--688. **An Eagle's Wings.** The Roman Empire, emblemized by the Eagle, dominated the then known world.
