27. And their children shall be baptized for the remission of their {229} sins when eight years old, and receive the laying on of the hands, 28. And they shall also teach their children to pray and to walk uprightly before the Lord. 29. And the inhabitants of Zion shall also observe the Sabbath day to keep it holy. 30. And the inhabitants of Zion also shall remember their labors, inasmuch as they are appointed to labor, in all faithfulness; for the idler shall be had in remembrance before the Lord. 31. Now, I the Lord, am not well pleased with the inhabitants of Zion, for there are idlers among them; and their children are also growing up in wickedness; they also seek not earnestly the riches of eternity, but their eyes are full of greediness. 32. These things ought not to be, and must be done away from among them: wherefore, let my servant Oliver Cowdery carry these sayings unto the land of Zion. 33. And a commandment I give unto them, that he that observeth not his prayers before the Lord in the season thereof, let him be had in remembrance before the judge of my people. 34. These sayings are true and faithful; wherefore transgress them not, neither take therefrom. 35. Behold, I am Alpha and Omega, and I come quickly. Amen. [Sidenote: Preparation of the Revelations for Publication, Nov. 1st-15th.] It had been decided by the conference that Elder Oliver Cowdery should carry the commandments and revelations to Independence, Missouri, for printing, and that I should arrange and get them in readiness by the time that he left, which was to be by--or, if possible, before--the 15th of the month [November]. At this time there were many things which the Elders desired to know relative to preaching the Gospel to the inhabitants of the earth, and concerning the gathering; and in order to walk by the true light, and be instructed from on high, on the 3rd of November, 1831, I inquired of the Lord and received the following important revelation, which has since been added to the book of Doctrine and Covenants, and called the Appendix: _Revelation, given November 3, 1831_. [16] 1. Hearken, O ye people of my Church, saith the Lord your God, and hear the word of the Lord concerning you; {230} 2. The Lord who shall suddenly come to His temple; the Lord who shall come down upon the world with a curse to judgment; yea, upon all the nations that forget God, and upon all the ungodly among you. 3. For He shall make bare His holy arm in the eyes of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of their God. 4. Wherefore, prepare ye, prepare ye, O my people; sanctify yourselves; gather ye together, O ye people of my Church, upon the land of Zion, all you that have not been commanded to tarry. 5. Go ye out from Babylon. Be ye clean that bear the vessels of the Lord.
