6. Behold they shall, for I have decreed it, begin to prevail
against mine enemies from this very hour.
7. And by hearkening to observe all the words which I, the Lord
their God, shall speak unto them, they shall never cease to prevail
until the kingdoms of the world are subdued under my feet, and the
earth is given unto the saints, to possess it forever and ever.
8. But inasmuch as they keep not my commandments, and hearken not
to observe all my words, the kingdoms of the world shall prevail
against them,
9. For they were set to be a light unto the world, and to be the
saviors of men;
{37} 10. And inasmuch as they are not the saviors of men, they
are as salt that has lost its savor, and is thenceforth good for
nothing but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men.
11. But verily I say unto you, I have decreed that your brethren
which have been scattered shall return to the lands of their
inheritances, and shall build up the waste places of Zion.
12. For after much tribulation, as I have said unto you in a former
commandment, cometh the blessing.
13. Behold, this is the blessing which I have promised after
your tribulations, and the tribulations of your brethren: your
redemption, and the redemption of your brethren, even their
restoration to the land of Zion, to be established, no more to be
thrown down.
14. Nevertheless, if they pollute their inheritances they shall

by power;
16. Therefore, I will raise up unto my people a man, who shall lead
them like as Moses led the children of Israel.
17. For ye are the children of Israel, and of the seed of Abraham,
and ye must needs be led out of bondage by power, and with a
stretched-out arm:
18. And as your fathers were led at the first, even so shall the
redemption of Zion be.
19. Therefore, let not your hearts faint, for I say unto you as I
said unto your fathers, mine angel shall go up before you, but not
my presence;
20. But I say unto you, mine angels shall go up before you, and
also my presence, and in time ye shall possess the goodly land.
21. Verily, verily I say unto you, that my servant Baurak Ale
(Joseph Smith, Jun.,) is the man to whom I likened the servant to
whom the Lord of the vineyard spake in the parable which I have
given unto you.
22. Therefore let my servant Baurak Ale (Joseph Smith, Jun.,) say
unto the strength of my house, my young men and the middle aged,
gather yourselves together unto the land of Zion, upon the land
which I have bought with money that has been consecrated unto me:
23. And let all the churches send up wise men with their moneys,
and purchase lands even as I have commanded them;
