D&C 8:2-3
2 Yea, behold, I will tell you in your mind and in your heart,
by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in
your heart.
3 Now, behold, this is the spirit of revelation; behold, this is
the spirit by which Moses abrought the children of Israel through the
Red Sea on dry ground.
D&C 29
1 LISTEN to the voice of Jesus Christ, your Redeemer, the Great
I AM, whose arm of mercy hath atoned for your sins;
2 Who will gather his people even as a hen gathereth her chickens
under her wings, even as many as will hearken to my voice and humble themselves
before me, and call upon me in mighty prayer.
3 Behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, that at this time your
sins are forgiven you, therefore ye receive these things; but remember
to sin no more, lest perils shall come upon you.
4 Verily, I say unto you that ye are chosen out of the world to
declare my gospel with the sound of rejoicing, as with the voice of a
trump.
5 Lift up your hearts and be glad, for I am in your midst, and
am your advocate with the Father; and it is his good will to give you
the kingdom.
6 And, as it is written—Whatsoever ye shall ask in faith, being
united in prayer according to my command, ye shall receive.
7 And ye are called to bring to pass the gathering of mine elect;
for mine elect hear my voice and harden not their hearts;
8 Wherefore the decree hath gone forth from the Father that they
shall be gathered in unto one place upon the face of this land, to prepare
their hearts and be prepared in all things against the day when tribulation
and desolation are sent forth upon the wicked.
9 For the hour is nigh and the day soon at hand when the earth
is ripe; and all the proud and they that do wickedly shall be as stubble;
and I will burn them up, saith the Lord of Hosts, that wickedness shall
not be upon the earth;
10 For the hour is nigh, and that which was spoken by mine apostles
must be fulfilled; for as they spoke so shall it come to pass;
11 For I will reveal myself from heaven with power and great glory,
with all the hosts thereof, and dwell in righteousness with men on earth
a thousand years, and the wicked shall not stand.
12 And again, verily, verily, I say unto you, and it hath gone
forth in a firm decree, by the will of the Father, that mine apostles,
the Twelve which were with me in my ministry at Jerusalem, shall stand
at my right hand at the day of my coming in a pillar of fire, being clothed
with robes of righteousness, with crowns upon their heads, in glory even
as I am, to judge the whole house of Israel, even as many as have loved
me and kept my commandments, and none else.
13 For a trump shall sound both long and loud, even as upon Mount
Sinai, and all the earth shall quake, and they shall come forth—yea,
even the dead which died in me, to receive a crown of righteousness, and
to be clothed upon, even as I am, to be with me, that we may be one.
14 But, behold, I say unto you that before this great day shall
come the sun shall be cdarkened, and the moon shall be turned into blood,
and the stars shall fall from heaven, and there shall be greater dsigns
in heaven above and in the earth beneath;
15 And there shall be weeping and wailing among the hosts of men;
16 And there shall be a great hailstorm sent forth to destroy the
crops of the earth.
17 And it shall come to pass, because of the wickedness of the
world, that I will take vengeance upon the wicked, for they will not repent;
for the cup of mine indignation is full; for behold, my blood shall not
cleanse them if they hear me not.
18 Wherefore, I the Lord God will send forth flies upon the face
of the earth, which shall take hold of the inhabitants thereof, and shall
eat their flesh, and shall cause maggots to come in upon them;
19 And their tongues shall be stayed that they shall not utter
against me; and their flesh shall fall from off their bones, and their
eyes from their sockets;
20 And it shall come to pass that the beasts of the forest and
the fowls of the air shall devour them up.
21 And the great and abominable church, which is the whore of all
the earth, shall be cast down by devouring fire, according as it is spoken
by the mouth of Ezekiel the prophet, who spoke of these things, which
have not come to pass but surely must, as I live, for abominations shall
not reign.
22 And again, verily, verily, I say unto you that when the thousand
years are ended, and men again begin to deny their God, then will I spare
the earth but for a little season;
23 And the end shall come, and the heaven and the earth shall be
consumed and pass away, and there shall be a new heaven and a new earth.
24 For all old things shall pass away, and all things shall become
new, even the heaven and the earth, and all the fulness thereof, both
men and beasts, the fowls of the air, and the fishes of the sea;
25 And not one hair, neither mote, shall be lost, for it is the
workmanship of mine hand.
26 But, behold, verily I say unto you, before the earth shall pass
away, Michael, mine archangel, shall sound his trump, and then shall all
the dead awake, for their graves shall be opened, and they shall come
forth—yea, even all.
27 And the righteous shall be gathered on my right hand unto eternal
life; and the wicked on my left hand will I be ashamed to own before the
Father;
28 Wherefore I will say unto them—Depart from me, ye cursed, into
everlasting bfire, prepared for the devil and his angels.
29 And now, behold, I say unto you, never at any time have I declared
from mine own mouth that they should return, for where I am they cannot
come, for they have no power.
30 But remember that all my judgments are not given unto men; and
as the words have gone forth out of my mouth even so shall they be fulfilled,
that the first shall be last, and that the last shall be first in all
things whatsoever I have created by the word of my power, which is the
power of my Spirit.
31 For by the power of my Spirit created I them; yea, all things
both spiritual and temporal—
32 First spiritual, secondly temporal, which is the beginning of
my work; and again, first temporal, and secondly spiritual, which is the
last of my work—
33 Speaking unto you that you may naturally understand; but unto
myself my works have no end, neither beginning; but it is given unto you
that ye may understand, because ye have asked it of me and are agreed.
34 Wherefore, verily I say unto you that all things unto me are
spiritual, and not at any time have I given unto you a law which was temporal;
neither any man, nor the children of men; neither Adam, your father, whom
I created.
35 Behold, I gave unto him that he should be an aagent unto himself;
and I gave unto him commandment, but no temporal commandment gave I unto
him, for my bcommandments are cspiritual; they are not natural nor temporal,
neither carnal nor sensual.
36 And it came to pass that Adam, being tempted of the devil—for,
behold, the devil was before Adam, for he rebelled against me, saying,
Give me thine honor, which is my power; and also a third part of the hosts
of heaven turned he away from me because of their agency;
37 And they were thrust down, and thus came the devil and his angels;
38 And, behold, there is a place prepared for them from the beginning,
which place is hell.
39 And it must needs be that the devil should tempt the children
of men, or they could not be agents unto themselves; for if they never
should have bitter they could not know the sweet—
40 Wherefore, it came to pass that the devil tempted Adam, and
he partook of the forbidden fruit and transgressed the commandment, wherein
he became subject to the will of the devil, because he yielded unto temptation.
41 Wherefore, I, the Lord God, caused that he should be cast out
from the Garden of Eden, from my presence, because of his transgression,
wherein he became spiritually dead, which is the first death, even that
same death which is the last death, which is spiritual, which shall be
pronounced upon the wicked when I shall say: Depart, ye cursed.
42 But, behold, I say unto you that I, the Lord God, gave unto
Adam and unto his seed, that they should not die as to the temporal death,
until I, the Lord God, should send forth angels to declare unto them repentance
and redemption, through faith on the name of mine Only Begotten Son.
43 And thus did I, the Lord God, appoint unto man the days of his
probation—that by his natural death he might be raised in immortality
unto eternal life, even as many as would believe;
44 And they that believe not unto eternal damnation; for they cannot
be redeemed from their spiritual fall, because they repent not;
45 For they love darkness rather than light, and their deeds are
evil, and they receive their wages of whom they list to obey.
46 But behold, I say unto you, that little children are redeemed
from the foundation of the world through mine Only Begotten;
47 Wherefore, they cannot sin, for power is not given unto Satan
to tempt little children, until they begin to become accountable before
me;
48 For it is given unto them even as I will, according to mine
own pleasure, that great things may be required at the hand of their fathers.
49 And, again, I say unto you, that whoso having knowledge, have
I not commanded to repent?
50 And he that hath no understanding, it remaineth in me to do
according as it is written. And now I declare no more unto you at this
time. Amen.
D&C
38:1,2
1 THUS saith the Lord your God, even Jesus Christ, the Great I
AM, Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the same which looked
upon the wide expanse of eternity, and all the seraphic hosts of heaven,
before the world was made;
2 The same which knoweth all things, for all things are present
before mine eyes;
D&C
84:100-101
100 The Lord hath redeemed his people; And Satan is bound and time
is no longer.The Lord hath gathered all things in one.The Lord hath brought
down Zion from above.The Lord hath brought up Zion from beneath.
101 The earth hath travailed and brought forth her strength; And
truth is established in her bowels; And the heavens have smiled upon her;
And she is clothed with the glory of her God; For he stands in the midst
of his people.
D&C
109:74-76
74 And be adorned as a bride for that day when thou shalt unveil
the heavens, and cause the mountains to flow down at thy presence, and
the valleys to be exalted, the rough places made smooth; that thy glory
may fill the earth;
75 That when the trump shall sound for the dead, we shall be caught
up in the cloud to meet thee, that we may ever be with the Lord;
76 That our garments may be pure, that we may be clothed upon with
robes of righteousness, with palms in our hands, and crowns of glory upon
our heads, and reap eternal joy for all our sufferings.
D&C 110
1 THE veil was taken from our minds, and the eyes of our understanding
were opened.
2 We saw the Lord standing upon the breastwork of the pulpit, before
us; and under his feet was a paved work of pure gold, in color like amber.
3 His eyes were as a flame of fire; the hair of his head was white
like the pure snow; his countenance shone above the brightness of the
sun; and his voice was as the sound of the rushing of great waters, even
the voice of Jehovah, saying:
4 I am the first and the last; I am he who liveth, I am he who
was slain; I am your advocate with the Father.
5 Behold, your sins are forgiven you; you are clean before me;
therefore, lift up your heads and rejoice.
6 Let the hearts of your brethren rejoice, and let the hearts of
all my people rejoice, who have, with their might, abuilt this house to
my name.
7 For behold, I have accepted this house, and my name shall be
here; and I will manifest myself to my people in mercy in this house.
8 Yea, I will appear unto my servants, and speak unto them with
mine own voice, if my people will keep my commandments, and do not pollute
this holy house.
9 Yea the hearts of thousands and tens of thousands shall greatly
rejoice in consequence of the blessings which shall be poured out, and
the endowment with which my servants have been endowed in this house.
10 And the fame of this house shall spread to foreign lands; and
this is the beginning of the blessing which shall be poured out upon the
heads of my people. Even so. Amen.
11 After this vision closed, the heavens were again opened unto
us; and Moses appeared before us, and committed unto us the keys of the
gathering of Israel from the four parts of the earth, and the leading
of the ten tribes from the land of the north.
12 After this, Elias appeared, and committed the dispensation of
the gospel of Abraham, saying that in us and our seed all generations
after us should be blessed.
13 After this vision had closed, another great and glorious vision
burst upon us; for Elijah the prophet, who was taken to heaven without
tasting death, stood before us, and said:
14 Behold, the time has fully come, which was spoken of by the
mouth of Malachi—testifying that he [Elijah] should be sent, before the
great and dreadful day of the Lord come—
15 To turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the children
to the fathers, lest the whole earth be smitten with a curse—
16 Therefore, the keys of this dispensation are committed into
your hands; and by this ye may know that the great and dreadful day of
the Lord is near, even at the doors.
