8. This prophecy of Enoch is contained in the "Writings of Moses," which about this time were revealed to the Prophet, and are now published in the "Pearl of Great Price." It will be understood, then, by the reader, that the "Prophecy of Enoch" itself is found in the "Writings of Moses," and that in the text above we have but a few extracts of the most prominent parts of "Enoch's Prophecy." For the complete prophecy the reader is referred to the "Pearl of Great Price." (Chapter 7.) 9. Doctrine and Covenants, section 37. {140} Chapter XIII. Prospects of the Church at the Opening of the Year 1831--Removal of the Prophet Joseph from New York to Ohio--Doctrinal Development. [Sidenote: Prospects of the Church--1831.] The year 1831 opened with a prospect great and glorious for the welfare of the kingdom; for on the 2nd of January, 1831, a conference was held in the town of Fayette, New York, at which the ordinary business of the Church was transacted; and in addition, the following revelation was received: _Revelation, given January 2nd, 1831._ [1] 1. Thus saith the Lord your God, even Jesus Christ, the Great I AM, Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the same which looked upon the wide expanse of eternity, and all the seraphic hosts of heaven before the world was made: 2. The same which knoweth all things, for all things are present before mine eyes: 3. I am the same which spake, and the world was made, and all things came by me: 4. I am the same which have taken the Zion of Enoch into mine own bosom; and verily, I say, even as many as have believed in my name, for I am Christ, and in mine own name, by the virtue of the blood which I have spilt, have I pleaded before the Father for them; 5. But behold, the residue of the wicked have I kept in chains of darkness until the judgment of the great day, which shall come at the end of the earth; 6. And even so will I cause the wicked to be kept, that will not hear my voice but harden their hearts, and wo, wo, wo, is their doom. {141} 7. But behold, verily, verily, I say unto you that mine eyes are upon you. I am in your midst, and ye cannot see me; 8. But the day soon cometh that ye shall see me, and know that I am; for the vail of darkness shall soon be rent, and he that is not purified shall not abide the day: 9. Wherefore gird up your loins and be prepared. Behold, the kingdom is yours, and the enemy shall not overcome. 10. verily, I say unto you, ye are clean, but not all; and there is none else with whom I am well pleased. 11. For all flesh is corrupted before me; and the powers of darkness prevail upon the earth, among the children of men, in the presence of all the hosts of heaven.
