6. Call your solemn assemblies, and speak often one to another. And
let every man call upon the name of the Lord;
7. Yea, verily I say unto you again, the time has come when the
voice of the Lord is unto you, Go ye out of Babylon; gather ye out
from among the nations, from the four winds, from one end of heaven
to the other.
8. Send forth the Elders of my Church unto the nations which are
afar off; unto the islands of the sea; send forth unto foreign
lands; call upon all nations; first upon the Gentiles, and then
upon the Jews.
9. And behold, and lo, this shall be their cry, and the voice of
the Lord unto all people: Go ye forth unto the land of Zion, that
the borders of my people may be enlarged, and that her stakes may
be strengthened, and that Zion may go forth unto the regions round
about;
10. Yea, let the cry go forth among all people: Awake and arise
and go forth to meet the Bridegroom: behold and lo, the Bridegroom
cometh, go ye out to meet Him. Prepare yourselves for the great day

the Lord, and make his paths straight, for the hour of His coming
is nigh--
18. When the Lamb shall stand upon Mount Zion, and with Him a
hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father's name written
on their foreheads:
19. Wherefore, prepare ye for the coming of the Bridegroom; go ye,
go ye out to meet Him,
20. For behold, He shall stand upon the mount of Olives, and upon
the mighty ocean, even the great deep, and upon the islands of the
sea, and upon the land of Zion;
21. And He shall utter His voice out of Zion, and He shall speak
from Jerusalem, and His voice shall be heard among all people.
22. And it shall be a voice as the voice of many waters, and as the
