25. How oft have I called upon you by the mouth of my servants,
and by the ministering of angels, and by mine own voice, and by
the voice of thunderings, and by the voice of lightnings, and by
the voice of tempests, and by the voice of earthquakes, and great
hailstorms, and by the voice of famines and pestilences of every
kind, and by the great sound of a trump, and by the voice of
judgment, and by the voice of mercy all the day long and by the
voice of glory, and honor, and the riches of eternal life, and
would have saved you with an everlasting salvation, but ye would
not?
26. Behold the day has come, when the cup of the wrath of my
indignation is full.
27. Behold, verily I say unto you, that these are the words of the
Lord your God;
28. Wherefore labor ye, labor ye in my vineyard for the last
time--for the last time call upon the inhabitants of the earth,
29. For in mine own due time will I come upon the earth in
judgment, and my people shall be redeemed and shall reign with me
on earth,
30. For the great Millennium, of which I have spoken by the mouth
of my servants, shall come;
31. For Satan shall be bound, and when he is loosed again, he shall
only reign for a little season, and then cometh the end of the
earth;
32. And he that liveth in righteousness shall be changed in the
twinkling of an eye, and the earth shall pass away so as by fire;
33. And the wicked shall go away into unquenchable fire, and their
end no man knoweth on earth, nor ever shall know, until they come
before me in judgment.
34. Hearken ye to these words; Behold, I am Jesus Christ, the
Savior of the world. Treasure these things up in your hearts, and
let the solemnities of eternity rest upon your minds.
35. Be sober. Keep all my commandments. Even so. Amen.
{157} [Sidenote: A Special Conference, 3rd-6th of June.]
The latter part of February I received the following revelation, which
caused the Church to appoint a conference to be held early in the month
of June ensuing:
_Revelation to Joseph Smith, Jun., and Sidney Rigdon, given at
Kirtland, February, 1831._ [14]
1. Behold, thus saith the Lord unto you my servants, it is
expedient in me that the Elders of my Church should be called
together, from the east and from the west, and from the north and
from the south, by letter or some other way.
2. And it shall come to pass, that inasmuch as they are faithful,
and exercise faith in me, I will pour out my Spirit upon them in
the day that they assemble themselves together.
3. And it shall come to pass that they shall go forth into the
regions round about, and preach repentance unto the people;
4. And many shall be converted, insomuch that ye shall obtain power
to organize yourselves according to the laws of man;
