56. And at that day when I shall come in my glory, shall the
parable be fulfilled which I spake concerning the ten virgins;
57. For they that are wise and have received the truth, and have
taken the Holy Spirit for their guide, and have not been deceived;
verily I say unto you, they shall not be hewn down and cast into
the fire, but shall abide the day.
58. And the earth shall be given unto them for an inheritance; and
they shall multiply and wax strong, and their children shall grow
up without sin unto salvation,
59. For the Lord shall be in their midst, and His glory shall be
upon them, and He will be their King and their Lawgiver.
60. And now, behold, I say unto you, it shall not be given unto
you to know any further concerning this chapter, until the New
Testament be translated, and in it all these things shall be made
known;
61. Wherefore I give unto you that ye may now translate it, that ye
may be prepared for the things to come;
62. For verily I say unto you, that great things await you;
63. Ye hear of wars in foreign lands, but, behold, I say unto you,
they are nigh, even at your doors, and not many years hence ye
shall hear of wars in your own lands.
{163} 64. Wherefore, I, the Lord, have said, Gather ye out from
the eastern lands, assemble ye yourselves together ye Elders of
my Church; go ye forth into the western countries, call upon the
inhabitants to repent, and inasmuch as they do repent, build up
churches unto me;
65. And with one heart and with one mind, gather up your riches
that ye may purchase an inheritance which shall hereafter be
appointed unto you,
66. And it shall be called the New Jerusalem, a land of peace, a
city of refuge, a place of safety for the Saints of the Most High
God;
67. And the glory of the Lord shall be there, and the terror of the
Lord also shall be there, insomuch that the wicked will not come
unto it, and it shall be called Zion.
68. And it shall come to pass, among the wicked, that every man
that will not take his sword against his neighbor must needs flee
unto Zion for safety.
69. And there shall be gathered unto it out of every nation under
heaven; and it shall be the only people that shall not be at war
one with another.
70. And it shall be said among the wicked, Let us not go up to
battle against Zion, for the inhabitants of Zion are terrible;
wherefore we cannot stand.
71. And it shall come to pass that the righteous shall be gathered
out from among all nations, and shall come to Zion, singing with
songs of everlasting joy.
