_Revelation, given in the presence of Six Elders, in Fayette, New
York, September, 1830._ [5]
1. Listen to the voice of Jesus Christ, your Redeemer, the Great I
AM, whose arm of mercy hath atoned for your sins;
{112} 2. Who will gather His people even as a hen gathereth her
chickens under her wings, even as many as will hearken to my voice
and humble themselves before me, and call upon me in mighty prayer.
3. Behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, that at this time your
sins are forgiven you, therefore ye receive these things; but
remember to sin no more, lest perils shall come upon you.
4. Verily, I say unto you, that ye are chosen out of the world to
declare my Gospel with the sound of rejoicing, as with the voice of
a trump.
5. Lift up your hearts and be glad, for I am in your midst, and am
your advocate with the Father; and it is His good will to give you
the kingdom;
6. And as it is written, Whatsoever ye shall ask in faith, being
united in prayer according to my command, ye shall receive;
7. And ye are called to bring to pass the gathering of mine elect;
for mine elect hear my voice and harden not their hearts;
8. Wherefore the decree hath gone forth from the Father, that they
shall be gathered in unto one place upon the face of this land, to
prepare their hearts and be prepared in all things against the day
when tribulation and desolation are sent forth upon the wicked;
9. For the hour is nigh, and the day soon at hand, when the earth
is ripe; and all the proud, and they that do wickedly, shall be as
stubble, and I will burn them up, saith the Lord of Hosts, that
wickedness shall not be upon the earth;
10. For the hour is nigh, and that which was spoken by mine
apostles must be fulfilled; for as they spoke, so shall it come to
pass;
11. For I will reveal myself from heaven with power and great
glory, with all the hosts thereof, and dwell in righteousness with
men on earth a thousand years, and the wicked shall not stand.
12. And again, verily, verily, I say unto you, and it hath
gone forth in a firm decree, by the will of the Father, that
mine apostles, the Twelve which were with me in my ministry at
Jerusalem, shall stand at my right hand at the day of my coming
in a pillar of fire, being clothed with robes of righteousness,
with crowns upon their heads, in glory even as I am, to judge the
whole house of Israel, even as many as have loved me and kept my
commandments, and none else;
13. For a trump shall sound both long and loud, even as upon
Mount Sinai, and all the earth shall quake, and they shall come
forth--yea, even the dead which died in me, to receive a crown of
righteousness, and to be clothed upon, even as I am, to be with me,
that we may be one.
