of the terrestrial is one, even as the glory of the moon is one. 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; for these
are they who are of Paul, and of Apollos, and of Cephas. 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; but received not the
Gospel, neither the testimony of Jesus, neither the Prophets, neither
the Everlasting Covenant. 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. These are they who are liars,
and sorcerers, and adulterers, and whoremongers, and whosoever loves
and makes a lie. These are they who suffer the wrath of God on the
earth. These are they who suffer the vengeance of eternal fire. These
are they who are cast down to hell and suffer the wrath of Almighty
God, until the fulness of times when Christ shall have subdued all
enemies under his feet, and shall have perfected his work, when he
shall deliver up the Kingdom, and present it unto the Father spotless,
saying--I have overcome and have trodden the wine-press alone, even
the wine-press of the fierceness of the wrath of Almighty God. Then
shall he be crowned with the crown of His glory, to sit on the throne
of his power to reign for ever and ever. But behold, and lo, we saw
the glory and the inhabitants of the telestial world, that they were
as innumerable as the stars in the firmament of heaven, or as the sand
upon the sea shore, and heard the voice of the Lord saying--these all
shall bow the knee, and every tongue shall confess to him who sits
upon the throne for ever and ever; for they shall be judged according
to their works, and every man shall receive according to his own
works, his own dominion, in the mansions which are prepared, and they
shall be servants of the Most High, but where God and Christ dwell
they cannot come, worlds without end. This is the end of the vision
which we saw, which we were commanded to write while we were yet in
the Spirit.
