86. These are they who receive not of His fullness in the eternal
world, but of the Holy Spirit through the ministrations of the
terrestrial;
87. And the terrestrial through the ministration of the celestial;
88. And also the telestial receive it of the administering of
angels who are appointed to minister for them, or who are appointed
to be ministering spirits for them, for they shall be heirs of
salvation.
89. And thus we saw in the heavenly vision, the glory of the
telestial, which surpasses all understanding,
90. And no man knows it except him to whom God has revealed it.
91. And thus we saw the glory of the terrestrial, which excels in
all things the glory of the telestial, even in glory, and in power,
and in might, and in dominion.
92. And thus we saw the glory of the celestial, which excels in all
{251} things--where God, even the Father, reigns upon His throne
for ever and ever;
93. Before whose throne all things bow in humble reverence, and
give him glory for ever and ever.
94. They who dwell in His presence are the church of the Firstborn,
and they see as they are seen, and know as they are known, having
received of His fulness and of His grace;
95. And He makes them equal in power, and in might, and in dominion.
96. And the glory of the celestial is one, even as the glory of the
sun is one.
97. And the glory of the terrestrial is one, even as the glory of
the moon is one.
98. And the glory of the telestial is one, even as the glory of the
stars is one, for as one star differs from another star in glory,
even so differs one from another in glory in the telestial world;
99. For these are they who are of Paul, and of Apollos, and of
Cephas.
100. These are they who say they are some of one and some of
another--some of Christ and some of John, and some of Moses, and
some of Elias, and some of Esaias, and some of Isaiah, and some of
Enoch;
101. But received not the Gospel, neither the testimony of Jesus,
neither the prophets, neither the everlasting covenant.
102. Last of all, these all are they who will not be gathered with
the Saints, to be caught up unto the church of the Firstborn, and
received into the cloud.
103. These are they who are liars, and sorcerers, and adulterers,
and whoremongers and whosoever loves and makes a lie.
104. These are they who suffer the wrath of God on earth.
105. These are they who suffer the vengeance of eternal fire.
106. These are they who are cast down to hell and suffer the wrath
of Almighty God, until the fullness of times, when Christ shall
have subdued all enemies under His feet, and shall have perfected
His work;
