PREFACE 

during the last seven years ears eats the putlicmind public mind 

has been constantly agitated more or less 

through all parts of our country with the cry 

of mormonism mormonism delusion im 

posture fanaticism &c ac chiefly through 

the instrumentality of the press many of the 

newspapers of the day have been constantly 

teeming with misrepresentations and lying slanders 

of the foulest kind in order to destroy 

the influence and dhar character acter of an innocent 

society in its very infancy a society of whose 

reatprinciples 

real reat principles many of them know nothing aati 

all every sp species ocies pcies of wickedness hasbeer kasbeer has beer been 

resorted to and alj all ali ail manner of evil has been 

spoken against them falsely insomuch that 

in many places houses and lears tears cars ears are closed 

against them without the possibility of being 

heard for a moment saying we do not wish to 

hear bear bead head you we know enough of your principles 

already the newspapers or our good preach

how kgb however ever evex any former covenant may have been 

broken yet the inhabitants of the earth were 

never des Aes destroyed troyed by fire all butr buta but a few for 

having broken any previous covenant no tb this is 

destruction is to come by fire as literally as the 

flood in the days of noah and it will consume 

both priests and people from the earth and that 

too for fr ror having broken the covenant of the 

gospel with its laws and its ordinances Qor else we must get a new edition of the bible 

leaving out the xxiv of isaiah 

now having settled this question I1 trust the 

reader will see the need of a new covenant in

THE KINGDOM OF GOD 

we vve shall now take a view of the commencement 

of the setting up of the kingdom of god in 

the days of the apostles the first intimation 

of its near approach was by an angel to zachariah 

promising him a son who should go before 

the king to prepare his way the next 

manifestation wahto wa4to was to mary and finally to joseph 

by an holy angel promising the birth of the 

messiah while at the same time the holy 

ghost manifested unto simeon in the temple 

that he should not die until he had bad seen the 

saviour thus all these toc tor together yether rether with the 

shepherds and the wise men from the east began 

to re rejoice oice olce with a joy unspeakable and full of 

glory while the world around them knew not 

the occasion of their joy after these things 

all seemed to rest in silent expectation until 

john had grown to manhood when the 

came bounding from the wilderness of judea 

with a proclamation strange and new crying 

repent ye for the kingdom of heaven is at 

hand baptizing unto repentance telling them 

plainly that their king was already standing 

amongthem among them on the point of setting up his kingdom 

and while he yet ministered the messiah 

came and was baptized and sealed with the 

spirit of god which rested upon him in the form 

or a dove and soon after he began the same 


proclamation as john saying 11 repent ye for 

the kingdom kindom of heaven is at hand and soon 

after choosing twelve disciples he sent them 

fbiihi forth into nto all the cities of judea julea with the same 

proclamation the kingdom of heaven is atl all il

hand and abter after abher them he be sent seventyand seventy and still 

another seventy with the same news sot so that all 611 ail ali uli 

might be well warned and prepared for a kingdom 

which was soon tobe organized among 

them but when these things had produced the 

desired effect in causing a general expectation 

more especially in the hearts of his bis disciples 

who daily expected to triumph over their persecutors 

by the coronation of this glorious personage 

while they themselves were hoping for a 

reward of all their toil and sacrifices made for 

his bis sake by being exalted to dignity near his 

person what must have been their disappointment 

when they saw their king taken and crucified 

bein beingig mocked derided ridiculed and 

finally anally overcame and triumphed over both by 

jew and gentile 17 they would gladly have hake 

died in battle to have placed him upon the 

throne but tamely to submit without a struggle 

to give up all their thei 

thel expectations and sink in 

despair from the highest pitch of enthusiasm to 

the lowest degradation was more than they 

could well endure they shrunk back in sorrow 

and turned every man unto his net bet or to their 

several occupations supposing all was over 

probably with reflections like these is this the 

result of all our labours laboure 17 was it for this we 

forsook all worldly objects our ohi fei ohl friends ends our 

houses bouses and lands suffi suffering ering cring persecution hunger 

fatigue and disgrace and we trusted it should 

havebeen have been he who would have delivered israel 

but alasahey alas aiasthey they Ahey have killed him and all is over 

for three threeyars years we

expectation through all judea by telling them 

the kingdom of heaven was at hand but now 

our king is dead how bow shall we dare to look the 

people in the face with these reflections each 

pursuing his own course all was again turned 

to silence and tlle the tile voice had bad ceased to be heard 

in judea crying repent ye for the kingdom of 

heaven isat ispt iset hand jesus slept in the arms of 

death a great stone with the seal of state 

secured the tomb where he lay while the roman 

pean nian plan guard stood in watchful silence to see that 

all was kept secure when suddenly from the 

regions of glory a mighty angel descended at 

whose presence the soldiers fell back as dead 

men while he rolled the stone from the door of 

aq tq 

the sepulchre and the son of god awoke from 

his 115 lis 

ils slumbers burst the bonds of death and soon 

after appearing to mary he sent her to the dis- 

ciples with the joyful news of his resurrection 

and ap appointing pointin9 a place to meet them when 

after seeing him all their sorrow was turned 

into joy oy and all their former hopes were sudden 

ly revived they were 

werd no longer to cry the 

kingdom of heaven is at hand but were to tarry 

at jerusalem until the kingdom was established 

and they prepared to unlock the door of the 

kingdom and to adopt strangers and foreigners 

into it as legal citizens by administering certain 

laws and ordinances which were invariably the 

laws jaws of adoption without which no man could 

ever become a citizen havingascended

english language that has ever caused any

that those slans sians sions signs were ivere lvere only to follow folio W the tfit thu tait apostles 

an and others tell us that they were only to follow 

believers of that anre acre age 

0 but chr christ ist places the 

preaching the believing the salvation and the 

signsthat signs that were to follow all on an equal foot 

ing where one was limited the other must be 

where one ceased the other died and if the 

ian lan language uag aag e limits limit these signs to the apostles it 

limits faith and salvation also to them and if 

no others were to have these signs follow them 

then no others were to believe and no others 

were to be saved again if the language limits 

these signs to the first age or ages oes ges of christianity 

then it limits salvation to the gir fir firstages first stages ages 0 of chris 

tianity for one is precisely as much limited as 

the other and where one is in force the other 

is and where one ends the other must stop

salvation is no longer needed they were only

these signs are no longer necessary they were 

only given to establish the gospel but says saya 

the astonished reader have not these signs 

ceased from among men 7 1I reply prove that 

they have ceased and it will prove that the 

gospel has ceased to be preached andtliat and that men 

have ceased to believe and be saved and the

now having analyzed and understood this tha 

com commission mission let us still pursue the subject of the 

organization of the kingdom of god in the days 

of the apostles the saviour having given 

them their authority commands them to tarry 

and not undertake their mission until they were wero 

endowed with power from on high but why 

this delay I1 because no man was ever qualified 

or ever will be to preach that gospel and teach 

all things whatsoever jesus commanded them 

without the holy ghost and a very different 

holy ghost too from the one now enjoyed by 

men who are not inspired for the holy ghost 

of which jesus spake would guide into all ill ail ali til tii illtruthy truth truthy truths 

brin bring all things to remembrance whatsoever he 

had said unt unto0 them and show them things to 

come not to mention that it would enablethern enable thern them 

to speak in all the languages of the earth barth baith eaith 

now a man who preaches needs that holy 

ghost very much first to guide into all truth

that he may know what to teach second to 

strengthen his memory lest iest he might neglect to 

teachsome teach some of the things which was wa comm commanded anded andea 

them and third lie he lle ile needs to know things to 

come and that would constitute him a prophet 

so that lie he lle ile might forewarn them of approaching 

da danger nger from this the reader may see how 

careful jesus was that none should preach his 

gospel without the holy ghost and he may 

also aiso bearn jearn how bow diffie different diffierent rent the spirit of truth 

is from the spirits now abroad in the earth

he did adopt the jews into the kingdom at the 

day of pentecost 

now when the multitude came bunni tunni running ngto natoto 

gether on the day of pentecost the apostle 

peter standing up with the eleven lifted his

many became convinced of the truth and inn

understand this proclamation if you do you 

will see that this gospel is not preached by any

analyze and examine it sentence by sentence

next ext thing thin was for them toa to7 to repent first faith 

second econd repentance third baptism fourth remis

of the gospel faith gave the power to become

reader where do you hear such preaching in

and repent rerent should bo be baptized and none others 

perhaps the reader may say the baptists do

gospcilike gospel like this preached amone among men would 

men go mourning for weeks upon weeks without 

the forgiveness of sins or the comfort of the

with his brethren of the same calling and the 

same hour commence baptizing and continue continuo 

until untitthey they had baptized them all and the holy 

ghost should fall upon them and they begin to

would not the news go abroad far and wide

he also said 11 though we or an angel from

but now let us return to the kingdom of god 

organized in the days of the apostles you dl disS 

cover that three thousand persons were adopted 

into the kingdom the tha first day the door was 

adopt edh 

opened these together with the numerous 

additions which were afterwards made were the 

subjects of this kingdom which being fitly 

framed together grew unto a holy temple in tho the 

lord thus we have cleared away the rubbish 

of sectarian tradition and superstition which 

arose in heaps around us and having searched 

carefully we have at length discovered the 

kingdom of god as it existed at its first organization 

in the days of the apostles and we have 

seen that it differs widely from all modern systems 

of religion both in its officers ord ordinances inances finances inances 

powers and privileges insomuch that no man 

need ever mistake the one for the other 

having made this discovery wo we shall pro- I1 

ceed to examine the progress of that kingdom 

among jew and gentile and what were its 

fruits and what were its gifts and ble bie blessings ssings isings enjoyed 

by its citizens soon after the organization 

of the kingdom of god at jerusalem 

philip came to samaria and there preached the 

gospel and when they believed philip they 

wero were baptized both men and women and had 

great joy jo J Y and afterwards afterward peter and john came 

from jerusalem and prayed and laid their hands 

on them tb em and they received the holy ghost 

mark alark here they first believed aud and then were 

baptized having 

havinz great joy and yet had not received 

the holy ghost but that was given

ani afterwards wards bythe by the laying on of hands and prayer 

in irithe the name of jesus oh how bow diffrirentfrom 

differenffrom 

the systems of men witness pauls conversion version conversion on 

while on his journey to damascus the lord 

jesus appeared to him in the way but instead 

of telling him his sins were forgiven and pouring 

the holy ghost upon him he be sent him to da 

mascus telling him that it should there be told 

him what he should do and coming to dam bam damas as 

cus ananias being sent commanded him not to 

tarry but said unto him 11 arise and be baptized 

and wash away thy sins calling on the name of 

the lord then he be arose and was baptized 

and was even evenfilled filled with the holy ghost and 

straightway preached that jesus was the chhist christ 

I1 

again witness peter going to cornelius a 

gentile of great piety whose prayers were 

heardatid heard beard bearda and lid tid ild whose alms were remembered and 

hearda 

who had even attained to the ministering of an 

angel yet with all his piety and the holy 

ghost poured out upon him and his friends be 

fore ford rord they tlley tiley were baptized yet they must be bap 

tized sized tized or they could not be saved why be 

cause the lord had commanded the apostles to 

preach to every creature and every creature 

who would not believe belleve and ba baptized should 

be damned without one exception witness 

the tlle tile words of the angel to cornelius iier iie6 he 

peter shall tell you words whereby thotfand thotland thou thot thol and fand all 

thy house should be saved now query could 

cornelius have been saved without obeying the 

words of peter I1 if so the angels errand was in 

vain vuin vuln recollect peter commanded them to be

THE KINGDOM OP OF GOD 109 

baptized now methinks mctbinks that a minister who 

should find a man as good as cornelius was 

would sa say to him go on brother you can be 

saved you have experienced religion you may 

inda indq 

indeed be baptized to answer a good conscience 

if you feel it your duty or if not it is no matter 

a new heart is all that is really necessary 

to salvation &c ac As much as to say that the 

commandments of jesus are not absolutely ne- 

ce cessary to salvation a man may call him lord 

lord ani and bo be saved just as well as to keep his 

commandments 0 vain and foolish doctrine 

0 ye children of men how have you perverted 

the gospel in vain do ye call himlord hillord him lord lord 

and do0 not obey his commands 

next we call to mind the jailor and his 

household who were baptized the same hour 

theylelieved 

they believed without walling wailing waiting walting for the day and 

lydia and her household who attended to the 

ordinance the first sermon they heard beard on the 

subject 

also philip and the eunuch who stopped the 

chariot at the first water they came to in order 

to attend to the ordinance while a few minutes 

be begore before fore was the first that he had heard of jesus 

now I1 gather from all those examples of ancient 

days and from the precepts laid down dovd in them 

that baptism was the initiating ordinance by 

which all those who believed and repented were 

received and adopted into the church or king 

domor domofgod god so as to be entitled to the remission

became sons and daughters and becau because bebaus0 they thley 

J 

were sons the lord shed forth the spirit ofhis d1his ofhie 

son into their hearts crying abba father it 

is true the lord lor poured out the holy ghost 

upon cornelius and his friends before they 

were baptized but it seemed necessary in 

order to convince the believing jews that the 

gentiles also had part in this salvation and I1 

believe this is the only instance in the whole ie record 

of the people receiving the holy ghost 

without first obeying the laws of adoption but 

mark obeying the laws of adoption would not 

constitute a man an heir of the kingdom a 

citizen entitled to the blessings and gifts of ot the 

spirit unless these laws jaws and ordinances were 

administered by one who had proper authority 

and was duly commissioned from the tlle tile king 

and a commission given glyen giyen to one individual could 

never authorize another to act in his stead steail stend sheail 

this Is one of the most important points to bem 

understood as it brings to the test every minister 

in christendom and questions the organization 

of every church on earth and all that have 

existed since direct inspiration ceased now 

in order to come at this subject in plainness let 

us examine the constitution of earthly governments 

in regard to the authority and laws of 

adoption we will say for instance the president 

of the tho united states writes a commission 

to A B duly authorizin authorizing autho authorizing rizin him to act in some 

office in the government and during his administration 

ni two gentlemen from europe came 

to tojreside in this tylis

and foreigners wishing to become citizens they 

go before A B and he administers the oath of 

allegiance in due form and certifies the tiie tile same 

and this constitutes them legal citizens entitled 

to all ail ali alithe the privileges of natural born bom bob citizens or 

subjects 

after these things A B is taken away by 

death and C D in looking over his papers 

happens to find the commission given to A B 

and applying it to his own use assumes the 

vacant office mean time two foreigners arrive 

and apply for citizenship and being informed by 

persons ignorant of the amm aff mairs affairs lairs of government 

that C D could administer the laws of adoption 

they submit to be administered unto by 

bycC D 

without once ohice examining his authority C D 

certifies of their citizenship and they suppose 

they have been legally adopted the same as the 

others and are entitled to all the iho fhe tho privileges of 

citizenship but by and by their citizenship 

is called in question and they produce the certificate 

of C D the president inquires who 

is C D 1 never gave him a corfi commission mission to act 

in any office I1 know him not and you are 

strangers itrangers and foreigners to the commonwealth 

until you go before the legally appointed successor 

of A B or some other of like authority 

who has a commission from the president direct 

in his own name in the mean time C D is 

taken and punished according to law eor for ror prac 

tis tising ing imposition and usurping authority which 

was never conferred upon him and so it is

whether they believe that these thin thid things are done

their answer will be the bible contains sufficient 

and since the canon of scripture was full 

revelation has ceased the spirit of prophesy 

has ceased and the ministering of angels has

they will denounce every man as an impostor

done away that our faith should not stand in the

besides all this says the objector there is 

another feature which is very alarming concerning

things and that is they ar are arcc counted aa as 

the very offiscouring offscouring of all things they are ignorant

not only so but all manner of evil is spoken

casting them out of their company and this as fs IS 

precisely what christ said would always bo bd 

done to his followers and it is precisely what 

was done to the blessed jesus and his followers 

eighteen hundred years ago and therefore we

would bring another storm of persecution equal 

to ancient days for you know the apostles testified 

that if any would live godly in christ jesus 

he should suffer persecution whereas before 

thesa men made their appearance we had modi 

fied the religion of jesus by taking away that 

part from it which always ivays ivans gave otence ta t8 to the 

world such as inspiration and the power of 

god in short we had heaped to ourselves 

teachers who gave us fables instead of truth 

because truth might 9give of fence and disturb 

the world too much and thus with a form of 

godliness denying the pover power poyer andinstituting 

and instituting hu- 

man wisdom in its stead we llad had ceased to give 

offense offence to the world in short we became just just 

lik like ilkedahe gahe the world and the world loved us and ev even en 

helped on with the spread of our various gospels 

to the ihe 

ahe heathen but now alas if it is true that 

god has spoken and sent men as in days of old 

they will be constrained to testify the truth ruth and 

that will disturb and frustrate all our plans and 

turn out of employ thousands of hirelin harelin hireling hirelin priests 

who never would have engaged in so arduous 

an undertaking as preaching had it not been

something must be done and as they have re

too for the people will read for themselves 

and in looking over the old prophesies they will 

find something ike luke like fourteen books actually 

quoted by the prophets which are not found in 

our english bible such for instance as the 

book of shemeiah shemciah Shemeiah melah the prophet the book of 

ahijah the prophet the book of jasher basher and 

many others and in reading the new testa 

ment we find the apostles quoting several epis 

ties lies iles which are not found among the new testament 

writings and we know too that there thereisis 

7 

nothing secret which shall not be revealed ne neii 

ther hid that shall not be made known for the 

saviour has told us so and jeremiah has told 

us that when the lord gathers israel hewill cewill 

reveal unto them the abundance of peace and 

truth and in short all the prophets and apostles 

have given us to understand that the dispensa 

tion of the falness fulness of times for the gathering of 

israel will be the greatest day for revelation 

and miracles that the world ever witnessed and 

the people will tead reid read and understand these thin thip things Os 

and be booking looking for their fulfillment fulfilment unless ve we 

can persuade them that the prophecies are a 

great mystery which none can under understand standi 

notwithstanding the apostles have told them 

that whatsoever was written afore time was 

written for our profit and learning &c ac but 

if the people get their eyes open to see all these 

things then we will try to get them to believe 

thatjhe that the book of or mormon comes in contact with 

the other othen otner scriptures and is intended to do them 

ay and is a silly mess of stuff not worth

had in view it is just the manner of his vis mis

with the children of men he always takes a

him by the wisdom of the world in order to 

confound the wise and bring to nought the understanding

to learn wisdom from 

the least of his servants or you will perish in 

your ignorance I1 but what are the evidences 

which we gather from scripture concerning the 

coming forth of this glorious work I1 we shall 

attempt to prove first that america is a promised 

land to the seed of yoseph joseph second that 

the lord would reveal to them his truth as well 

as to the jews and third that their record 

should come forth and unite its testimony with 

the record of the jews in time for the restora- 

tion of israel in the last days 

first gen xlviii 

x1viii jacob while blessing the 

two sons of joseph says 1 let them grow into 

a multitude in the midst ofthe earth and nd in the 

same blessing it is said of ephraim liis ilis ills 

bis his seed 

shall become a multitude of nations now put 

the sense of these sayings together and it makes 

ephraim a multitude of nations in the midst of 

the earth in gen x1ix xlix alix it is propliesyed prophesyed prophesied prophesyed concerning 

joseph while jacob was blessing him 

that he should bo a faithful bou bough by a well weh weil weli 

whose branches run over the wall the archers 

have sorely grieved him and shot at him and 

hated him yet his bow abode in strength again 

he further says 11 the blessings ofthy oathy ofthy father have 

prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors 

unto the utmost bounds of tho the everl everi everlastin everlasting astin9 hills hilli 

they shall be on the head of joseph and on the 

crown of the head of him that was separate 

from his brethren now I1 ask who was jacobs 

progenitors and what was the blessing they 

conferred upon him abrah abrahamand hamand am and isaac were

stand tand in egypt where jacob then stood and 

mea measure suire stire to the utmost bounds of the everlasting 

hills and you will land somewhere in the ce cenn 

tral part of america again one of the pro 

phets peets says in speaking of ephraim ofephraim it when wh6n whan the 

lord shall roar the children of ephraim shall aall shali shail wail waii 

tremble gemble from the west ivest now let us sum up 

these se sayings and what have we gained first 

ephra 

that ephraim 

i im was to grow into a multitude of 

nations in the midst of the earth second joseph 

was to be greatly blest biest ina lna ing in a large inheritance 

da d4 as far off as Ani america erica third this was to be on 

the west of egypt or jerusalem 

now let the world search from polo to pole 

and they will not find a multitude of nations in 

the midst of the earth who can possibly have 

sprung from ephraim unless they find them in 

america for the midst of all other pans 

parts of the 

arth 9rth earth is inhabited by mixed races who have 

spr cpr sprung ung from various sources while here an 

almost boundless country was secluded from the 

I1 

rest aa 4a of bf the world P and inhabited by a race of ofmen ofamen men

scriptures must apply fa f6 to america for the plainest 

of reasons because they can apply no where 

else 

now secondly we are to prove that god revealed 

himself to the seed of jacob or ephraim 

as we have already proved dwelling in america 

for this we quote hosea viii 12 speaking 

of ephraim he be says by the spirit of pro- 

phesy 11 1I have written unto him the great things 

of my law but they were counted as a strange 

thing this is proof positive and needs no 

comment that the great truths of heaven were 

revealed unto urto ephraim and were counted as a 

strange stranae stranad n thing things 

third were these writings to come forth 

just previous to the gathering ofisrael answerl answer 

they were accor according ng to zekiel ezekiel 37th chapter chapt dri eri erp 

where god commanded him to take one stick 

and write upon it for judah and for the children 

of israel his companions then take another 

stick and write upon it for joseph the stick of or 

ephraim and for all the house of israel his com- 

panions and join them one to another into one 

stick stiek and they shall become one stick in thine 

hand and when the children of thy people 

shall speak unto thee saying wilt not thou 

show us what thou meanest by these things 

say ay unto them thus saith the lordgodi lord god Godi godf isf be 

hold bold hoid I1 will take the stick of joseph which is in 

the hand band of ephraim and the tribes of israel his 

fellows and will put them with him even with 

the stick of judah and make them one stick 

and nd they

hey shall be one in minehand

thus saith the lord god 94 behold I1 will take

whither they be gone and will gather them on 

every side and bring them into their thei thel own lands 

and I1 will make them one nation in inthe the land upon 

the mountains of israel and one king shall be 

king to them all and they shall bo be no more two 

nations neither shall they be divided intotwo into two 

kingdoms any more at all 

now nothing can be more plain than the aho khe 

above prop prophesy liesy there is presented two writings 

the one to ephraim the other to judah 

that of ephraim is to be brought forth by the 

lord andput andrut and put with hat that of judah and they are 

tobecome become to one in their testimony and grow together 

in this manner in order to bring about 

the gathering of israel the 85th psalm is 

very plain on the subject of the restoration of

israel to their own land it says 1 mercy and 

truth are met together 0 y righteousness and

the next thier thinr follows is that israel is set

speaking of the final return from captivity of 

both judah and israel says 16 1I will reveal unto

isaiah speaking of the everlasting covenant

let me ask can cun any one tell whether the indians 

of america are of israel unless the lord should

which it was necessary to reveal in time for 

their gathering

ahdbe and ie baptized than the holy ghost fell on 

them through the laying on of hands in the name 

of jesus and the heavens were opened and 

while whilea ahilea some had the ministering of angels others 

began to speak in other oilier tongues and prophesy 

and from that time forth were any sick among 

them they were often orten healed by the laying on 

of the hands bands in the name cf jesus and thus 

mightily grew the word of god goa and prevailed 

and thus thousands have been raised up to testify 

that they do know for thenis themselves elves and are not 

forilie for the f 

dependant on the testimony of any man farilie 

truth of these things for these signs follow them 

that believe and when a man believes the truth 

through the testimony of gods witnesses and 

then these signs follow not only them but him 

self also if he has the ministering of angels if 

he has been healed or heals others by the 

laying on of hands in jesus name or if he speaks 

in otfiertongtics 

other tongues or prophesies he knows it for 

himself and thus is fulfilled the saying of scrip 

11 ture if any man domy do my will he shall know knoiv knois

faith comes by hearing and knowledge 

0 byobey by obeying 

but hearing comes by preach preaching inq and 

preaching preacbin comes by sending bysendincr as it is written 

how shall they preach except they be sent 7

not by signs but signs r come by faith gifis

take dake it for granted that a man or 0r woman who 

comes to me demanding a sign in order to make 

them believe belongs to a wicked and adul 

terous berous generation at least to say no worse for 

any person who will go to jesus with a pure purs 

heart desiring and praying in faith that they 

may know the truth concerning these things 

the lord will reveal it to them and they shall 

know and shall bear testimony for by the 

spirit of god they shall know truth from error 

as it is written my sheep hear my voice 

and he that will not come unto jesus in faith 

shall never know the ruth truth until too late he 

finds the harvest harrest is over and the summer is 

and his soul not saved

this is one of the most important subjects

and one perhaps as little understood in the present

a correct understanding of and firm belief in 

this subject that influenced all their movements moveinenfs 

their minds once fastening upon it they could 

not be shaken from their purposes their faith 

was firm their joy constant and their hope like 

an anchor to the soul both sure and steadfast 

reaching leaching to that within the vail it was this 

that enabled them to rejoice in the midst of tri- 

bulation persecution sword and flame and in 

view 

their goods and gladly wandered as strangers 

and pilgrims on the earth for they sought a 

view of this they took joyfully the spoiling of 

countr country 

countzV acity acety 

a city and an inheritance that none 

but a saint ever thought of understood or even 

hoped for now we can never understand precisely 

what is meant by restoration unless we 

understand what is lost or taken away for instance 

nian man it isas much as to say he once possessed 

it but had lost it and we propose to replace 

cr or put him in possession of that which he be once 

stanee when we offer to restore any thing to a 

had therefore when a prophet speaks of the 

restoration of all things he means that all 

things have undergone a change and are to be 

again restored to their primitive order in which 

they first existed v 

first then it becomes necessary for us 

uslt6 to 

take a view of creation as it rolled in purity 

from the hand of its creator 1 and if we can 

discover the true state in which it then existed 

and understand the changes chanaes chanales that have taken 

place since then we shall be able to understand 

what is to be restored and thus our mamda mmda inids i 2

let the dry land appear and it Nwas yas so from 

this ve we learn a marv marvelous cious clous elous fact which ver very few 

have ever fever realized or believed in this benig benighed bcnghfed benighted hed

how cha changed ned tho the scene 

it now becomes my painful duty to trace traco 

some of the important changes which have taken 

place and the causes which have conspired to tc 

reduce the earth and its inhabitants to their 

present state 

first man by giving heed to temptation fell 

from his standin standing before god and this fall 

affected the whole creation as well as man and 

caused various changes to take place first 

man was banished from the presence of his creator 

and a veil was drawn between them and 

he be banished from the garden of eden to till 

the earth which was then cursed for mans 

sake and should begin to bring forth thorns and 

thistles whistles thistl es and with the sweat of his face and in 

sorrow he be should eat of it all the days of his 

life and should finally return to dust but 

as to eve her curse ivas iras tras lyas a great multiplicity 

of sorrow and conception and as to her 

seed and the seed of the serpent there was 

to be a constant enmity it should bruise the 

serpents head and the serpent should bruise 

his heel 

now reader contemplate the change this 

scene which was so beautiful a little before 

had bad now become the abode of sorrow and toil 

death and mourning the earth groaning with 

its production of accursed thorns and whistles thistles

162 THE resuekection

resurrection of jesus for he was an exact pattern 

after which all his saints will be raised 

we recollect first that he was clothed upon 

with vith alesh flesh and blood and bones like another 

wan man and every way subject to hunger thirst 

pain weariness sickness and death like any 

other person with this difference that he was 

capable ofenduring more than any other haman human baman 

body second this same bodywas body was hung upon 

the ecross ross torn with nails which were driven 

through his hands and feet and his side pierced 

with a spear from which there came out blood 

and water third this same body being per 

fectly factly lifeless like any other corpse was vas taken 

without 

j a bone being bein broken and carefully 

wrapped in linen and laid in the tomb where it 

continued until enfil nfil the third day when early in the 

morning moriiipg ing the women came to the sepulchre and 

his disciples also and finding the linen clothes 

lying us useless eleis and the napkin which was about 

his head carefully folded and laid by itself 

but the body which had lain there was gone 

from all these circumstances we discover distover slover that 

the same flesh and bones wh which ich were laid in 

the tomb were actually reanimated and did 

arise ailse and lay aside the linen which was no longer 

needed and jesus christ came f6rthtriumph 

forth triumph 

ant nt from the mansions of the dead possessing 

the same body which had been born of a woman 

which vaich was crucified but no blood nowed flowed bowed in his 

1 

bems vems ieins 

for blood was the natural life ilfe in which 

were the principles of mortality and a man mafi mati matl 

restore d to seii flesh seki and blood would bo be mortal morm


and consequently again subject unto death 

which was not the zase case with our saviour he 

had flesh and bones afler after abter abaer afier he rose for when he 

appeared to his disciples and they were afraid 

supposing it was only a spirit in order to show 

them their mistake he said 11 handle handie handle handie me and 

see for a spirit hath not flesh and bones as you 

see me have and calli callier calling callinr nr for something to 

eat he was provided with a piece of a broiled 

fish and an honey comb and he did eat and 

even afterwards thomas was invited to put his 

finger fin wer ger into the prints of the nails in his hands and 

feet anid 

and to thrust his hand into his side from 

which it is evident that he not only possessed tho 

same body but also the same wounds continued 

to show themselves for a witness and will 

continue until he comes again when tho the jews 

will look upon him whom they have pierced 

and enquire what are these wounds in his hands 

and in his feet 0 ye hard bard hearted ye ungodly 

children of men your eyes will very soon behold 

himwho him who was crucified for your sins then 

shall ye seg see that the resurrection of the dead is 

a reality a something tangible and that eternity 

is not a land of shades nor a world of phantoms 

as some suppose among other things which 

jesus did after the resurrection we find him in 

the humble attitude of broiling fish and calling 

his disciples to come and dine oh what sim- 

plicity what love what condescension wonder 

0 heavens be astonished 0 earth 1 behold the tho

shaking and the bolles bodes came together tog ether bone to

the fj four ur winds 0 breath and breathe upon these 

glain slain that they mav may live and the breath entereds 

into them and they lived and stood up vp upon their 

feet ad an exceeding great army wo we have heard 

many comments upon this vision some compare 

it to sinners bein being converted and some to the 

body of christ the church when dead as to the 

spiritual gifts but the church becoming dead 

can no longer be said to be the body of christ 

as when she abides in the true vine she lives and 

bears fruit and is not dead and where she does 

not wide abide in him she is cutoff cut off as a bratichwith branchwith branch bratich with

A1 the psalmist david has told us concerning 

concerning


the time of the building of this city c 1 

ity in his 102nd 162nd 

psalm from I13th 3thj to the 22nd verse t 

thou 

shalt shall shail shait arise and have mercy on zion for the 

time to favour her yea the set time is come 

for thy servants take pleasure in imr ber her amr stones 

and favour the dust thereof so the heathen 

shall fear the name of the tho lord and all the 

kings kinas kinos of the earth thy glory when the lord 

shall build up tip zion lie fie lle ile shall appear in his glory 

he ne will regard 0 the tho prayer of the destitute and anu anc aad aad 

not despise their prayer this shall be written 

for the generation to come and the people which 

shall be created shall praise the lord for he 

hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary 

from heaven did the lord behold the 

earth to hear bear the groaning of the prisoners to 

loose those that are appointed to death to declare 

the name of the lord in zion and his 

praise in jerusalem when the people are 

gathered together and the kingdoms to serve

the 

from this scripture we learn Ffirst irst arst that there 

is a set time to build up zion or the city of or 

which isaiah speaks namely just before the 

second scc&nd coming of christy christ and that when this city 

is built the lord will appear in his glory and 

not mot before so from this we affirm that if such 

a city is never built then the lord will never 

come second we learn that the people and 

kiti biti kingdoms broms lroms are ane aie ate to be gathered together to sdrvo sarvo servo 

theLord both in zion and jerusalem and 

third that this psalm was written expressly for

1I will now call the attention of the reader to 

a part of the 6th ath chap of the record of ether 

contained in the book of mormon page 597 

second edition for ether truly told them of 

all things thins from the beginning of man and how 

that after afler the waters had receded from off the 

face of this land america it became a choico choice 

land above all other lands a chosen land of the 

lord wherefore the lord would have bave that all 

men shonld shoeld serve him which dwell upon the 

face thereof and that it was the place of the 

new jerusalem which should come down out 

of heaven and the holy sanctuary of the lord 

behold ether saw the days of christ and he be 

spake concer concerning ning a new jerusalem upon this 

land and he spake also concerning the house 

of israel and the jerusalem from whence lehi 

should come after that it should be destroyed 

it should be built up again a holy city unto the 

lord wherefore it could not be a hew jerusa 

lem for it had been in a time of old but it 

should be built up again and become a holy 

city of the lord and it should be built up unto 

the house of israel and that a new jerusalem 

should be built up upon this land unto the remnant 

of the seed of joseph for which thing there 

has been a type for as joseph brought his 

father down into the land of egypt even evenso io he 

died there wherefore the lord brought rought a rem 

nant of the seed of joseph out of the land of 

aer jer jerusalem nsalem ysalem that ho he might be mordi morci merci merciful oui ful oul untothe un unto tothe the


seed of joseph that they should perish not even 

as ho be was merciful unto the father of joseph 

that he should perish not wherefore the rem- 

nant of the house of joseph shall be built up upon 

this land and it shall be a land of their inherit inberit i 

ance and they shall build up a holy boly city unto 

the lord like unto the jerusalem of old and 

they shall no more be confounded until the end 

come when the earth shall pass away and 

there shall be a new heaven and a new earth 

and they shall be like unto tinto the old save the old 

have bave passed away and all things have become 

new and then cometh the new now jerusalem 

and blessed are they who dwell therein for it is 

they whose garments are white through the 

blood of the lamb and they are they who arm arc are amm 

numbered among the remnant of the seed of 

joseph who were of the house of israel and 

then also cometh the jerusalem of old and the 

inhabitants thereof blessed are they for they 

have been washed in the tho blood of the lamb 

and they are they who were scattered and gath 

ered in from the four quarters of the earth and 

from the north countries and are partakers partakers of 

the ful fui fulfilling fulfillina fillina of the covenant which god mado made 

with their father abraham and when these 

things come bringeth to pass the scripture which 

saith there are they who were first who shall 

be last and there are they who were last who jy shall be first

there is no more death neither pain nor sorrow

this is the sum that ezekiel and the other prophets

during the one thousand years of rest called the 

Mmillenium illeniurn millennium and john has given us a view of 

the same cities ahter after arter their final change when 

they come down from god out of heaven and 

rest upon the new earth but ether has given 

us a sketch of them as they are to exist both in 

their temporal and in their eternal state and 

he has told us plainly concerning their location 

firsti first and last namely the new jerusalem in 

america inhabited by the remnant of joseph 

and those gathered with them who have washed 

their robes and made them white in the blood

THE DEALINGS OF GOD WITH ALL NA- 

TIONS IN REGARD TO revelation 

k and 

hath made of one blood all nations of 

men to dwell on all the face of the earthi and 

hath determined the times before appointed and 

the bounds of their habitation that they should 

seek the lord ifhappily they might feel feet after him 

and find him though C he fie ile lle be not far from every 

one of us for in him we live and move and 

have our being acts xvii 262728 202728 262728 in inthis this 

text we learn first that all nations are made of 

one blood secondly they are designed to dwell 

on all the face of the earth america not ei excepted 

cepted thirdly that the lord has determined 

the bounds of their habitation that is lie has 

divided the earth among his children giving givin 

each nation that portion which seemed liim hirn hinn gooy good 

for tor ror hor bor instance the land of canaan to israel 

mount seir to esau arabia to ishmael 

america to the remnant of joseph &c ac like a 

fat eat fatlibr fattler fattier libr parcels off a large tract of land to his 

several children and fourthly he has granted 

unto untb unab all the nations of the earth the privelego 

offbeling off of beling feeling after him and finding him he not 

being very far from every one of them whe-

194 THE DEALINGS OF GOD 

I1 

any part of 

stion in anyage anlage 

the earth should happen to live up to their privi 

leges and one of theirprivileges 

their privileges is to feel leel leei after 

him and find him and if they should find him 

what would they obtain 1 J1 answer reveil revell revelation ution itiod 

for fr the best of reasons because no peopleever people ever 

found god in any other way nor never neven nevel will 

the therefore refore regone if they found god they found him by 

79 revelation velation direct from himself revealing his 

any age of the world or in any 

will to them and if they did not find him in 

this way they never knew him and if thebaid theyaid they did 

abt obt obtain aln ain alp revelation it was their privilege to write 

it and make a record of the same and teach 

it to their children and this record would be 

sacred because it would contain the word of 

god pod and thus it would be a HOLY BIBLE no 

matter whether it is written by the jews the 

Nephites bites or the gentiles I1 

ten tribes the nephites nepbites 

would just as soon have the gospel writtemby writ written temby by 

nephi mormon moroni or alma as tobaie tobave to have 

the gospel written by matthew matthews mark nark luke or 

john again I1 would just as soon believe 

believea believed 

beileye a 

bell beil believe belleve eve a 

ye revelation velation given in america as to beli 

revelation given in asia for if ever a nation 

failed to get a revelation it was because they 

did not attain unto that which was their privi 

leo lege ge but why then was any nation ever left 

darkness from age to age without th thelight light 

0firevelation of revelation to guide them 1 1 answer because 

their forefathers in some age of or the world rejected 

revelation cast out and killed the pro 

phets pbts abts and turned Aa deaf ear to the thingsof thingsof 

god until god took away that which they 

ieo 

Jin ndarkness

WITH ALL NATIONS &c ac 195 

enjoyed and committed it to some other people 

and left them from generation to generation to 

grow up in ignorance until he should seevfit ste11fit 

again to send his light and truth to thatnation that nation 

but those who reject no light firdit firdia are under no 

condemnation and anti antl the mercy of god hatli hath 

claim upon them through the blood of christ 

which atoneth atoneih for the sins of the world the 

heathen who never had the light of or revelation 

will be saved by the blood of christ while 

their forefathers who rejected the light are 

conden condemned ined for this is their condemnation that 

when light comes men reject it 

now on this subject let us examine the his 1 

tory of various ages in the morn of creation 

men had light by direct revelation for adam 

cain and abel talked with the lord in the 

next age men had light by revelation for enoch 

walked with the lord and not only saw the 

first comin coming 

0 of christ but his second CM coming illg 

also alo and ho he exclaimed behold the lord 

cometh with ten thotis thousand and of his saints to take 

vengeance on the ungodly &c ac as it is written 

in jude from which it appears that enoch knew 

and prophesied concerning the messiah with all 

the plainness of an postle again in noain 

day there was positive revelation and all these 

were gentiles or rather the word israel had 

not yet been named upon jacob by the angel 

now if ir it was the privilege of or so many gentiles gentile 

toget boget to get the word of the lord and to have the 

knowledge of the true god by revelation there 

fore itwas etwas

was the privilege of all the rest and if

of jews which have existed since siace since inspiration 

ceased be condemned for rejecting any mes 

sagefrom efrom god for he has sent no message to 

thew them consequently they have rejected none 

but their forefathers who did reject the things of 

god are under condemnation again when 

men menwpre were sent with the gospel to the gentiles 

then they were commanded to repent and this 

command was in force whenever men came 

preaching pr676 alrig hlrig who were sent by proper authority

sin was vas answered aswered upon thatgeneration 

that generation and those 

who havesince have haye since come upon the stage of or action 

have bave never been commanded to repent and be

any man who says that god has commanded a 

gentile to repent and obey the gospel since the he

that apostles an prophets ceased from among 

afien ffien men says that which he will not be able 

to prove unless he proves that some later re 

velation has been given since that time again 

commissioning men en to goto the gentiles with

thib thih things gs which he be commands them and a generate 

whom he reveals nothing or to whom he 

does not dot send men with a message from him 

have no message to obey and none to reject 

C 

and consequently nothing is binding on them 

except the moral principles of right and vrono wrong 

which are equally binding on all ages of the 

world according to the knowledge people have

has bas again spoken from the heavens and com corn corm comm

people frequently ask this question saying if ir
