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.
SUMMARY OF THE GREAT VISION.
And thus we saw in the heavenly vision, the glory of the telestial,
which surpasses all understanding,
And no man knows it except him to whom God has revealed it.
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.
And thus we saw the glory of the celestial, which excels in all
things--where God, even the Father, reigns upon his throne for ever
and ever;
Before whose throne all things bow in humble reverence and give him
glory for ever and ever.
They who dwell in his presence are the church of the first born,
and they see as they are seen, and know as they are known, having
received of his fullness and of his grace;
And he makes them equal in power, and in might, and in dominion.
And the glory of the celestial is one, even as the glory of the sun
is one.
And the glory 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 receive 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 first born, 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 fullness 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.
