All is of election and predestination. There is but very little
free-grace; just enough grace to give the Gentiles room to enter into
the family of Israel, that the promise may be fulfilled that in Israel
all the nations of the earth shall be blessed.
In ancient times Jehovah made his people a nation, that his name might
be glorified. He established his throne in David, by an everlasting
covenant; but the throne and sceptre were taken from Israel, no more to
be, until he comes whose right it is to reign. Messiah is that one. He
is coming to restore the kingdom to Israel.
The earth and mankind were created that they might have a probation;
and a probation, that a millennial reign of peace and righteousness may
consummate the divine plan and purposes.
Righteousness and justice must be established upon the earth in the
last days, or nations must perish utterly.
In the last days God shall set up a kingdom upon the earth, which shall
never be destroyed. It will break into pieces all other kingdoms and
empires, and stand forever. It will be given to the saints of the Most
High, and they will possess it. The Mormons are the saints of the Most
High.
That kingdom has already been set up, by the administration of angels
to Joseph Smith. This is the burden of Mormonism. It was for that the
saints were driven from Missouri and Illinois; that for which they made
their exodus to the Rocky Mountains; that for which the sisters have
borne the cross for half a century.
Now also in the present age is to be fulfilled the vision of Daniel;
here it is:
"I beheld till thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of Days
(Adam) did sit, whose garments were white as snow, and the hair of
his head like the pure wool; his throne was like the fiery flame,
and his wheels as burning fire.
"A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him; thousands
ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood
before him; the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
* * * * * *
"I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of Man
came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of Days,
and they brought him near before him.
"And there was given him dominion and glory, and a kingdom, that
all people, nations and languages, should serve him; his dominion
is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his
kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
* * * * * *
"But the saints of the Most High shall take the kingdom, and
possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.
* * * *
"I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and
prevailed against them.
"Until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given to the
saints of the Most High; and the time came that the saints
possessed the kingdom.
