"12. And in that day all who are found upon the watch tower, or in
other words, all mine Israel shall be saved.
"13. And they that have been scattered shall be gathered;
"14. And all they who have mourned shall be comforted;
"15. And all they who have given their lives for my name shall be
crowned.
"16. Therefore, let your hearts be comforted concerning Zion; for all
flesh is in mine hands: be still and know that I am God.
"17. Zion shall not be moved out of her place, notwithstanding her
children are scattered;
"18. They that remain, and are pure in heart, shall return, and
come to their inheritances, they and their children, with songs of
everlasting joy to build up the waste places of Zion;
"19. And all these things that the prophets might be fulfilled.
"20. And, behold, there is none other place appointed than that which
I have appointed; neither shall there be any other place appointed
than that which I have appointed, for the work of the gathering of my
saints,
"21. Until the day cometh when there is found no more room for them;
and then I have other places which I will appoint unto them, and they
shall be called Stakes, for the curtains, or the strength of Zion.
"22. Behold, it is my will, that all they who call on my name, and
worship me according to mine everlasting gospel, should gather
together, and stand in holy places,
"23. And prepare for the revelation which is to come, when the veil of
the covering of my temple, in my tabernacle, which hideth the earth,
shall be taken off, and all flesh shall see me together.
"24. And every corruptible thing, both of man, or of the beasts of the
field, or of the fowls of the heavens, or of the fish of the sea, that
dwell upon all the face of the earth, shall be consumed;
"25. And also that of element shall melt with fervent heat; and all
things shall become new, that my knowledge and glory may dwell upon
all the earth.
"26. And in that day the enmity of man, and the enmity of beasts, yea,
the enmity of all flesh, shall cease from before my face.
"27. And in that day whatsoever any man shall ask, it shall be given
unto him.
"28. And in that day Satan shall not have power to tempt any man.
"29. And there shall be no sorrow because there is no death.
"30. In that day an infant shall not die until he is old, and his life
shall be as the age of a tree.
"31. And when he dies he shall not sleep, (that is to say in the
earth,) but shall be changed in the twinkling of an eye, and shall be
caught up, and his rest shall be glorious.
"32. Yea, verily I say unto you, in that day when the Lord shall come,
he shall reveal all things--
"33. Things which have passed, and hidden things which no man
knew--things of the earth, by which it was made, and the purposes, and
the end thereof--
"34. Things most precious--things that are above, and things that are
beneath--things that are in the earth, and upon the earth, and in
heaven.
