25:17 And the Lord will set his hand again the second time to restore
his people from their lost and fallen state. Wherefore, he will proceed
to do a marvelous work and a wonder among the children of men.
25:18 Wherefore, he shall bring forth his words unto them, which words
shall judge them at the last day, for they shall be given them for the
purpose of convincing them of the true Messiah, who was rejected by
them; and unto the convincing of them that they need not look forward
any more for a Messiah to come, for there should not any come, save it
should be a false Messiah which should deceive the people; for there is
save one Messiah spoken of by the prophets, and that Messiah is he who
should be rejected of the Jews.
25:19 For according to the words of the prophets, the Messiah cometh in
six hundred years from the time that my father left Jerusalem; and
according to the words of the prophets, and also the word of the angel
of God, his name shall be Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
25:20 And now, my brethren, I have spoken plainly that ye cannot err.
And as the Lord God liveth that brought Israel up out of the land of
Egypt, and gave unto Moses power that he should heal the nations after
they had been bitten by the poisonous serpents, if they would cast
their eyes unto the serpent which he did raise up before them, and also
gave him power that he should smite the rock and the water should come
forth; yea, behold I say unto you, that as these things are true, and
as the Lord God liveth, there is none other name given under heaven
save it be this Jesus Christ, of which I have spoken, whereby man can
be saved.
25:21 Wherefore, for this cause hath the Lord God promised unto me that
these things which I write shall be kept and preserved, and handed down
unto my seed, from generation to generation, that the promise may be
fulfilled unto Joseph, that his seed should never perish as long as the
earth should stand.
25:22 Wherefore, these things shall go from generation to generation as
long as the earth shall stand; and they shall go according to the will
and pleasure of God; and the nations who shall possess them shall be
judged of them according to the words which are written.
25:23 For we labor diligently to write, to persuade our children, and
also our brethren, to believe in Christ, and to be reconciled to God;
for we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do.
25:24 And, notwithstanding we believe in Christ, we keep the law of
Moses, and look forward with steadfastness unto Christ, until the law
shall be fulfilled.
25:25 For, for this end was the law given; wherefore the law hath
become dead unto us, and we are made alive in Christ because of our
faith; yet we keep the law because of the commandments.
