THE
Received Through the Gift and Power of Israel's God by Art Bulla, Joseph Smith, John Taylor, and Mosiah Hancock “For thus saith the Lord, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money. For thus saith the Lord God, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause. Now therefore, what have I here, saith the Lord, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the LORD; and my name continually every day is blasphemed. Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore [they shall know] in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I. How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!” Isaiah 52:3-7 Copyright Art Bulla, 2000.

ut behold, your days of your probation are past; that ye have procrastinated the day of your salvation until it is everlastingly too late, and your destruction is made sure; yea, for ye have sought all the days of your lives for that which ye could not obtain; and ye have sought for happiness in doing iniquity, which thing is contrary to the nature of that righteousness which is in our great and Eternal Head.” Helaman 13:38

“Prophets must, like other men, eat and drink and wear apparel. They have the physical necessities and the affections and enjoyments which are common to other men. And it is this petty human fact...which leaves him ‘without honor in his own country.’” George Q. Cannon, The Life of Joseph Smith the Prophet. pp. 25-26.
f the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before [it hated] you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. He that hateth me hateth my Father also. If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.” John 15

f Joseph (and the One mighty and strong, saith the Lord ) had a right to dictate me in relation to salvation, in relation to a hereafter, he had a right to dictate me in all my earthly affairs, in relation to the treasures of the earth, and in relation to the earth itself. He had a right to d ictate in relation to the cities of the earth, to the natives of the earth, and in relation to everything on land and on sea. That is what he had a right to do, if he had any right at all. If he did not have that right, he d id not have the Priesthood of God , he did not have an endless Priesthood that emanates from an eternal being. A Priesthood that is clipped, and lacks length, is not the Priesthood of God; if it lacks depth, it is not the Priesthood of God ; for the Priesthood in ancient times extended over the wide world and coped with the universe."

THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST he stone rejected by the builders is become the head of the corner; Whosoever falleth upon this stone is broken, but whosoever this stone falleth upon is ground into powder." Jesus the Christ. "...for a man called and inspired of God can both preach and write by the power of the Holy Ghost; and when the honest humble sou l either hears or reads that which is given by the Spirit, the light that is in him w itnesseth that it is of God ; for light cleaves to light, and truth to truth; the Spirit gives light to every man that comes into the world, and if he love the light that is within himself, he will love all other light that is presented to his mind, and embrace it. Light cannot be presented to the mind of a candid, honest person, without being perceived to be light; but if he receive it not, he extinguishes in a degree the light that is in him, and darkness still greater ensues, and he is left to commit evils of a greater magnitude, until the light that was in him has entirely fled, and darkness reigns triumphantly: this darkness brings misery and wretchedness in this world and eternal torment in the world to come. This is the state of man who rejects light and truth, and will not exercise faith in that which the light that is in him teaches him is true. "The word and the evidences accompanying it are both the gifts of God ; but besides these, the light that is in every man who comes into the world is also the gift of God through Christ. For if Christ had not purchased this gift for man by his atoning blood, man would have been destitute of all light. Darkness alone would have reigned and our world would have been a hell-- the miserable abode of fallen spirits and fallen man..." Orson Pratt; The Seer; published 1853: Washington, D.C.

Joseph the Seer ow Melchizedek was a man of faith, who wrought righteousness; and when a child he feared God, and stop p ed the mouths of lions, and quenched the violence of fire. And thus, having been approved of God , he was ordained an high priest after the order of the covenant which God made with Enoch. It being after the order of the Son of God ; which order came, not by man, nor the will of man; neither by father nor mother; neither by beginning of days nor end of years; but of God; And it was delivered unto men by the calling of his own voice, accord ing to his w ill, unto as many as believed on his name. For God having sworn unto Enoch and unto his seed w ith an oath by himself; that every one being ordained after this order and calling should dry up waters, to turn them out of their course; To p u t at defiance the armies of nations, to d ivide the earth; to break every band, to stand in the presence of God ; to do all things according to his will, according to his command, subdue principalities and p owers; and this by the w ill of the Son of God w h ich was from before the foundation of the world.
And men having this faith, coming up unto this order of God, were translated , and taken up into heaven. And now Melchizedek was a priest of this order; therefore he obtained peace in Salem, and was called the prince of peace. And his people wrought righteousness, and obtained heaven and sought for the city of Enoch which God had before taken, separating it from the earth, having reserved it unto the latter days, or the end of the world; And hath said , and sworn with an oath, that the heavens and the earth should come together; and the sons of God should be tried so as by fire.

It is w ithin the know ledge of the writer (Joseph Musser) that President Lyman, then in his sixties, was strong and hearty. In his zeal to destroy the practice he was particularly severe on his former collegue in the Quorum, John W. Taylor. The night before the latter's death (Oct. 10, 1916), and in the presence of a few of his brethren, Apostle Taylor, rising from his p illow , said in substance: 'Brethren I am called home and will soon leave you. When I get there I am going to demand that Francis M. Lyman be brought before my God and Redeemer, and I am going to be vind icated .' One w itness to this statement--Daniel R.

President Kimball was also likewise smitten at the occasion of my persecution from the Church, but I prayed perhaps too liberally in fear for his prolonging of life for his fate was shown unto me in vision, and I trembled because of the terrible might and wrath of the Lord u p on him, which fate was to be the complete destruction of both body and 'sou l' in hell, yea even the second death, but I say the Lord's will be done upon all the wretches, if they turn not from their vom it as the dogs they are, who think they are so high and lifted up in the bosom of Abraham.

AUTHORITY OF THE SEVENTY AS NECESSARY AND SUFFICIENT TO
SET IN ORDER THE HOUSE OF GOD OR
WHICH IS GREATER, THE OFFICE OF A PATRIARCH OR THE OFFICE OF AN APOSTLE IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD?
1
his is an excerpt from a letter in which the question presented itself as whether there was a superior order of priesthood than that to which I have been ordained, and the Lord gave me revelation upon the subject: there is no higher office in the Priesthood than that which is named in this epistle, and the Patriarchal Priesthood is an outshoot or ramification of this highest Order of Priesthood in heaven or on earth, there is none other name given for the salvation of the human family. Patriarchs being ordained by this one superior office in the Priesthood, which is the A postleship. There is no greater authority in heaven or on earth than this Priesthood. I received this knowledge while writing this epistle and it is verily true, I testify, in my Father's name. Any other teaching is false doctrine and ought to be condemned, for it creates much confusion. I, in this epistle demonstrate to the satisfaction of a child, the validity of my position, again which position I received by direct Revelation to me upon the subject. This is an excerpt from a letter to Ogden Kraut in which he said that I could not be the One Mighty and Strong because I had not been ordained to the Patriarchal Priesthood. My Father, I also thank thee that thou hast hidden these things from the wise and the prudent and given them unto babes. As for the assertion which you make concerning the su p p osed ly higher orders of Priesthood than that which I have already received, I tell you in the name of God that there are no others higher than that which I shall name, in the sight of God, at any rate, for this is what he hath revealed unto your humble servant. I am frankly surprised at your lack of understanding of the Priesthood of the Son of God . I ask you , my poor Ogden, where is it that this Patriarchal Priesthood is conferred and the order of it elucidated in its fullness? Is it not done in a Temple dedicated unto the Most High? This Order of Priesthood was mentioned by the Prophet Joseph Smith as found in TPJS," and that more concerning this priesthood would be later revealed when a Temple would
be reared , in the which it would befitting and proper that this Order which is Patriarchal which is the Order handed down from Father to Son from the beginning, even Father Adam. Now I ask you , by what authority were Temples raised w h erein this Priesthood cou ld be righteously revealed? I will tell you by what authority they were raised and by what authority this su p p osed ly higher Order of Priesthood was revealed: It is the Apostleship. The Apostleship is the highest Order of Priesthood in Heaven or on earth and it circumscribes everything else and all other parts or ramifications proceed out of it and nothing else, saith the Lord God of Israel. What was Joseph Smith ordained to when he received authority to bu ild temples, and administer the 2
THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST he would not have authority to ordain one. By what authority are the sealing powers wherein the One who is anointed hath power that whatsoever he binds on earth is bound in heaven, by what authority are they in association with? The Apostleship. Do Patriarchs o r d a in Apostles? N o . They have not the authority. Do teachers ordain Bishops, no they do not. They do not have the authority. To what authority was Joseph ordained by Peter, James, and John to officiate in and regulate the affairs of the Kingdom of Heaven? It was the Apostleship . Was he ordained at some later unspecified time to the Patriarchal Priesthood w h ich somehow superseded his ordination to the Apostleship ? I say unto you upon Revelation, nay. If this Patriarchal Priesthood proceed s forth from the Apostleship which he received at the hands of Peter, James and John, then this means that the Apostleship surrounds encompasses it and supersedes it ( the Patriarchal Order of Priesthood). I have the keys of the Apostleship . If any man know of my doctrine which I have received from my Father, let him live it. To further corroborate these doctrinal statements, Brigham Young is as good an authority as any, for out of the mouths of two or three witnesses shall every word be established, for if I stand with him, I am in good company though I need no help , for there are those from before the foundation of the world , greater than Brigham Young, in might, intelligence and power:
ordinances and Orders of the Priesthood w ith all their offices and callings, ad m inistrations, sealings and in addition which gave him power to ordain, raise up and regu late the affairs of the Kingdom of Heaven? It was the Apostleship and nothing else. All Priesthood is merely parts or ramifications proceed ing from the Apostleship and nothing else. The only office which is greater than a Patriarch is an Apostle, for an Apostle ordains a Patriarch and no one else has the authority to do so, a Bishop does not, and Elder does not, it is mythology and no where can it be substantiated scripturally, in any of the writings of Brigham Young, Joseph Smith, John Taylor, in any of their teachings that this is the case. But I have a more substantial account of it than anywhere else, you learned hypocrit, I have received it u p on d irect Revelation to me concerning the question, for I inquired of the Lord concerning it when I received your letter and my God who hath spoken unto me with power such that my bones quake from the manifestations of his might gave it to me: By what authority are temp les raised ? The Apostleship . By what authority are men ordained and set apart to officiate in Tem p les wherein men are taught concerning the Patriarchal Order of Priesthood ? Again, by what authority are Tem p les raised ? The Apostleship . By what authority are Evangelists or Patriarchs ordained ? It is this Apostleship . And without all contradiction the lesser is ordained of the greater, for an Apostle's office circumscribes that of a Patriarch, or
“We started at the South East corner with the Apostleship; then the Lesser Priesthood laid the second stone; we bring them in our rank being joined by the Lesser Priesthood at the Southwest Corner, and so on, which the High Priests and Elders laid; we take them under our wing to the North East Corner Stone, which the Twelve and 3
AUTHORITY OF THE SEVENTY Seventies laid , and there again join the apostleship . (This im p lies that the Seventies as well as the Twelve, comprised the Apostleship, which office I received under the hands of one appointed unto this power, as Moses received the Priesthood under the hands of Jethro, not God as you claim .) It (the Apostleship ) circu m scribes every other Priesthood , for it is the Priesthood of Melchizedec, which is after the order of the Son of God. To say that a man is an Apostle, is equal to saying that a man is ordained to build up the Kingdom of God from first to last; but it is not so by saying he is ordained a H igh Priest (or a Patriarch). (The modern church hath departed from this order in that they now after 1974, have Stake Presidents, who are High Priests only--ordaining Seventy, when it should be the opposite, indeed it is impossible according to D&C 121:36, for it to be otherw ise, even if all the Church, as m ighty an instru m ent as it was, should rise up in opposition to the heavens, as is the case, they should all be cut off from first to last.) “The lesser Priesthood , then, you p erceive, comes within the purview of the Apostleship, because a man that holds it has a right to act or officiate as a High Priest, as one of the High Council, as a Patriarch, as a Bishop, Elder, Priest, Teacher, and Deacon, and in every other calling that is in the Church, from first to last, when duty demands it." JD 1: 135-136. n d d u ty d id d emand it u p on the death of Joseph Smith. Brigham filled the shoes and followed in the wake of Joseph Smith, under revelation. Duty demands it when the Lord specifies by direct revelation, as he did to Brigham by enlightening his m ind concerning authority which he, Brigham, had to act in the name of the Lord in a hitherto, unprecedented situation. But today we, the Church, face a greater delima than did Brigham, for we are faced, not with the demise of a Prophet-Leader, but a foretold apostacy from the order and truth of heaven in the most perniscious and dastard ly manner imaginable, of the presiding quorums of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints, in the matter of the Negro receiving the blessings associated w ith and mingling with the Priesthood of the Son of God , a thing which has been forbid d en by
A

every authority, both ancient and "modern", and in other ways because of dark, evil minds, forsaking the above named order. Faced with the dilema of the disorganization of the First Presidency, what is the order of Heaven with regard to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles? Do they not come under and are d irected by the First Presidency? Yes. Do not the Seventy, as your claim, come under the direction of the the Quorum of the Twelve? Yea. As in the case of Brigham Young and the Twelve, who were under the direction of the First Presidency and rightly so, u p on the d isorganization of the First Presidency, by death, in this case, but as in previous dispensations, as in ancient Israel, it cou ld w ell have been apostacy, then upon direct revelation, the Twelve, being next in line, the President of the Quorum, would by revelation, take command in the name of the Lord God of Israel, as
THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST Brigham rightfu lly d id , despite the claims of Joseph Smith III. Now suppose the Quorum of the Twelve entirely and sim u ltaneously with the First Presidency, should become disorganized, either by death or the stipulations of end of Priesthood mentioned in D&C 121, who would be next in line? It would be the Seventy, even though they are to act only under the d irection of the Twelve, but only if the Twelve are organized and agreeable to the Order of Heaven. They then would under d irect revelation step forward as did the Twelve u p on the d isorganization of the First Presidency, and take command in the name of the Lord God of Israel. This would be only the First Quorum of Seventy, and the President of this Quorum would then recieve Revelation from the Lord , authoritatively, for the guidance of Israel, as d id Brigham as President of the Quorum of the Twelve. From the Seventy (High Priests are not to be Seventy: Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith) the other two presiding quorums could then be organized, as was the First Presidency by the Twelve, the Apostleship circumscribing the office of the First Presidency. And the Lord tested his Saints at that time to see which ones were obedient to the Spirit of the Lord, as He is testing them w ith greater or equal valid ity concerning that unto which I have been appointed from before the foundation of the world. Since the Seventy are Apostles, they too, under authoritative d irection from the Lord cou ld proceed to reorganize, by Revelation, both the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and the Quorum of the First Presidency. Now suppose the entire First Quorum had apostacized or were killed by a mob, along with
the Twelve and First Presidency, which many claim is im p ossible, because the Lord w ould never allow it, then the Lord cou ld by Revelation to an Apostle, proceed to direct and reorganize the Kingdom of God u p on the earth, by d irect Revelation, w ith all the keys of the Priesthood encompassed , as Brigham learned by experience and by precept from the mouth of Joseph Smith himself, saith the Lord, but which knowledge was lost in succeed ing generations through a gradual apostacy, w ithin the Apostleship which is held and recognized of the Lord by that one faithfu l Apostle, or Seventy. The Lord could and has directed him and given him the sealing power, which is already, by ordination, encompassed within the Apostleship , the Lord m erely by revelation agreeing that whatsoever he would bind on earth would be bound in heaven, etc. He would need no further ord ination, as d id not Brigham, by the laying on of the hands, except in the matter of reorganizing the other presid ing quorums, which I am at present doing in the name of the Lord God of Brigham Young. The other quorums being the First Quorum of Seventy, the Twelve and the First Presidency, which are all absolutely necessary, saith the Lord , for the perfection of the Saints, and the work of the ministry, and shall never in time or in eternity be done away, for this Order continueth in the Resurrrection from the dead, saith the Lord , and shall not be abrogated among the wicked of the Saints of the Most H igh, by their unrighteous decrees which are not of me, saith the Lord , but must be maintained exactly as set up by my servant Joseph in all holiness before me, saith the Lord.

THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST It is now that I, Art Bu lla declare unto the world that su ch an apostacy has indeed occurred among those whose duty it was to preserve it as handed down to them from under the hand s of Peter, James and John, who are God s, namely because of their great wickedness, the details of which I have received through direct revelation, the which I invite all to exam ine freely as to its authenticity. Consequently, the Lord has commanded and directed me to begin the work preparatory to the com p lete restoration of all of Israel among the nations of the earth, among those who will
receive of his word and authoritative direction. The rest, saith the Lord , shall be burned at my com ing in the clou d s of heaven. There are others who can w ith power testify to the veracity and authority of this work, as w itnesses, namely George Robert Allen and others who w ill remain unnamed at this time. All who ernestly pray concerning these things w ill receive it also, and I care not if the whole world perish, if they harden their hearts against it, for can they do anything more unto me, that they did unto the Lord's Only Begotten Son? P.S. The ordination to a "King" which you claim to have received is also circumscribed by the authoritative use of the office of the Apostleship. As for the assertion made by Oliver Cowdrey (He often was somewhat too harsh with the Twelve), that in order for a person to be authoritative, he must have had the saviour lay his hands upon his head to affirm his Apostleship, how do you know I have not? As to this matter, I refer you to JD 1: 121, "A Pillar in the Temple of God-Angels Visit The Earth". Apostle Orson Hyde

Why? WHY I AM THAT ONE WHO SHOULD COME
he way that I am going to say the words that I speak is very important, in that many are the misconceptions about a prophet, what he looks like, talks like, don't the people in general recognize the Lord's anointed by the way he appears, the way he carries himself? Joseph Smith's grandfather said of him, "he writes like a prophet." Paul, we understand, was of short stature, about five foot two, and bandy or bowlegged, and had a hawkish Roman or Jewish nose, but eyes which pierced through to eternity. I have seen as Paul, for I too have "come to visions and revelations of the Lord " for I cou ld not tell if I was in my body or out when I conversed with (words fail) him face to face quickened by such power the tongue cleaves to the roof of the mouth and stops for the inadequacy. Joseph was and is a true prophet, for a short time after my first vision, I was given a copy of the book which he translated. I bear record, and get over it if you can, that I have seen and heard for myself, and have been sent as Joseph prophesied that I would come, having the keys of the Priesthood by lineage and by right, being accounted a direct descendant by blood of the kingdom, being a direct descendant of David, given from before the foundation of the world as a king and a priest as a w itness, for I have seen and I have heard things which are truely beyond the power of mere words to express, while in the spirit, for the things of God "knoweth no man, but by the Spirit of God". I have received a com p lete volu m e of scripture for this generation, as others (Isaiah, Samuel, Joseph, Ezekial, Nephi, etc.) have for theirs. I testify boldly it is the truth, for I have received it from God , and as Pau l "preached the gosp le" with much contention, even so I am not afraid of a little contention also, for the warfare, has it not been transferred to the earth, and only the "best men bring forth the best works"? I fear nothing, except the might and power of the Being who spoke unto me in the vision, which was of su ch power that I spoke with him in a tongue which was at once more magnificent in its command of the things of the spirit and the intelligence of of light and truth than English with its lack of vocabulary can express, and I shall forever adore his presence, and my bones truely quake at the power manifested when I receive even now revelations from him, for he is a God of glory as Moses exclaimed, "Where is thy glory that I shou ld w orship thee, depart from m e, for where is thy glory, Satan, that I should worship thee? For except I were quickened by his power, I should have withered in his presence." And my natural eyes could not have beheld, and my life has hung in the balance many times, as Paul said, "why stand we in jeapordy every hour, if there be no resurrection?" And as Joseph my brother whom I love more than my life, for with such brethren we could have taken the world from the despots of the enemies of the dispersed of Israel, for the God of Israel, saith the Lord, is he not a God of battles? I have seen that Jesus was a warrior of the first rank,
9
THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST and as Joseph was chased like a hart upon the mountains by the world with hell at its back, even so have I, Art Bulla, and I lie not, for since my first vision, all hell has been stirred up against me but I have been delivered from them all, that I might sing my song, and p u blish salvation u p on the mountains as prophesied, for I testify that God , the God of Isaiah lives, for I have seen him and tasted of such might, brilliance and power and honor and intelligence the tongue cannot express it, for was I not removed out of this tabernacle and taken up with him for a glorious space and I beheld? And as Paul was led to Ananias to receive baptism, even so was I led by my God to the Elders of the Church of Jesus Christ, for as there was a controversy embroiling men of intelligence and sagacity of the time on the subject of religion, whether God should be worshipped in Jerusalem in the Temple, or on top of a mountain in Samaria, for they were of Ephraim and did they not have the birthright? But Jesus, the Lord's (for the Lord said unto my Lord, sit thou upon my right hand, until I have made my enemies thy footstool) anointed son, but only firstborn among many brethren, as I also, have been with him from the beginning so testify, salvation cometh of the Jews, even so I say, salvation cometh, (and there is a second death) and I say it boldly with all the world opposing me, salvation d id come by the Latter- Day-Saints, for I received baptism , by entering through the gate which is truely straight and narrow and the next day being filled w ith such m ight and joy and power I went bold ly forth among the sold iers, and was not a Green Beret, over six foot in height, was he not p icked u p off his feet and set on his back by the angel of the Holy One of Israel, who is m ightier than all of the arm ies of the earth? I say, as that sargent of the Green Beret attem p ted to p lay a prank behind m y back, the angel defended my honor, and that I m ight be free to declare the message of salvation, p icked the man off his feet effortlessly, and thrust him upon the floor unhurt. And so I have seen and bear record that Joseph Smith was the Lord 's anointed and I am he who should come to redeem Israel by power such as has not been seen since Enoch if the people will gather and receive counsel from the God who is speaking now through my mouth unto thee O Israel, for I am he who should come, even as spoken by Isaiah and Joseph Smith unto whom belongeth the kingdom by lineage and by right, having the sealing power committed unto me, I have been appointed at the gate for this generation as Peter, and all power on earth or in heaven hath it not also been given unto that One mighty and strong, O man, and none of this generation, who I testify to will pass by me for judgment hath it not been committed unto me, O man, and O woman, from before the foundation of the world, and have I not been sent as him of old unto the Jews, who is my brother, even Jesus surnamed the Christ? And did not the Jews reject him, and if ye make the same mistake as they, O Israel, it shall be to thy peril, for my God , the God w h o spoke out of the heavens to the Master-Sargent, who was cursing the Mormons to my face, as I opened my mouth to speak, did not a voice proceed forth which shook the ground upon which we three stood, and did not those brave men of the army of the United States not hear and see for themselves, and my God is mightier than any mere arm of flesh or any nuclear tipped weapon, for his power is it not mine to wield for thy salvation, O Israel, if ye will come unto me, even I, who art mighty and strong from before the foundation of the world, through him who strengtheneth me? 10
Why?
Again, I say that I am receiving revelation u p on su ch top ics as evolution, Adam-God , negropriesthood, and also many deceptions practiced u p on the ignorant Gentiles by the father of lies, exposing the fraud thereof to the whole world, and if the whole world disregard me in my message they will only sink themselves to endless woes and destruction, for did not the entire Roman world ignore not only Jesus, but the entire Jewish nation, even though "salvation cometh of the Jews" as salvation in this day until the Negro-priesthood revelation, d id it not also come of the Latter-DaySaints and has not the world also d isregarded them as it so far has me to their peril, for their salvation hangeth upon the thread of the surge of life which beats within my breast to the glory of the Most H igh God ? And is not my glory in the world to come greater for having endured the shame of the cross also? Therefor disregard not these things and turn not aside the just for a thing of naught as do the Gentile dogs, as Jesus would have said , which rough things which he spake offended his smooth contemporaries that they rid themselves of one so uncouth as to openly speak truth. And in 1979, d id I not receive my first written revelation, the keys of the Priesthood given unto my by ord ination, and the Lord gave me further instructions, and I was, as a testimony commanded to take two of them (written revelations) to that man who was given as my hometeacher, as they are called , my patiently being in the Church until that point, and m y hometeacher in an enraged fury, tried to kill me for my impertinence at having claimed what was fact, nonetheless, despite his fury. And though my nose was broken, I d id receive another revelation that very night stating that his servants had been treated in just this way in all ages of the world , and w as not Jesus crucified by such rage as that manifested at that time. And thus through the spirit, I had seen Satan w ith his chains had blinded the mind s of the LatterDay-Saints, and they had become more estranged and hardened than the world which they were attempting to save. And is that man of sin, is he not 1 revealed by these words also? I am including some of the Revelations which I have received for your perusal as was given unto the people of old by that One who spoke unto the prophets of Israel, even so hath he spoken in these last days unto that One mighty and strong whose feet, are they not beautifu l upon the mountains, 2 and who publisheth peace, and saith unto Zion thy God, doth he not yet reign ? Even so judge ye, for with what judgment ye judge, that shall ye also be judged, and I care not for this world having beheld his glory, and again I bear testimony that I am he who should come, and though I bear testimony of myself, yet there are ten-thousand who shall return in the day with Enoch, who are

THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST mightier than the earth who shall also bear record of me, for I have been visited by two, also. Even so. Amen. FIRST VISION
While journeying on foot about 10:00 P.M. in the east, being inducted into the armed forces the next day, being on the way to the bus station to travel to the armed forces induction station in Raleigh, N.C, I received the following vision, while on the road on foot: ecember 29, 1969, while enwrapted in a heavenly vision, It seemed that I, Art Bulla, was removed out of my body, or whether in the body or out of it I could not tell, and I beheld his face, and He spake unto me face to face as one man speaks unto another for forty-five minutes or an hour, and whether in the body or out of it, I could not tell, for I beheld his glory, which surpasses all understanding, and spake while in the vision, in a much better tongue than any spoken by man at this time, which I supposed to be the Adamic Tongue, my understanding being quickened by such might and intelligence and power that it is beyond the mind of man unaided by the Spirit of Revelation which dwells yet within me, to comprehend, and indeed no words can convey, 1 for it seemed that I was transfigured before Him of whom I speak, my God in whom I bear record as others have before me, that He lives, for I too have seen Him. And tongue cannot

express his matchless might, glory, power and intelligence, and I shall forever adore his glory, for having once beheld his face and felt of his love and might and power and beheld things which I cannot convey, for there is no language, I must, I MUST obtain his presence, and I shall not becontent with anything else, this world or its allurments. And having been ordained unto the Holy Order of God which is after the Order of Melchizedec, even the Holy Apostleship, the keys of which I hold, I bear record of my Father, for I have seen Him and conversed with him, and I testify that He shall return in this the Latter Day as soon as my people are straightened from this crooked and perverse generation which shall be destroyed by the might of his power, and that they be gathered out according to the Revelations which are being given unto me, almost daily at this time, which is one of the darkest periods and most wicked because of unbelief in the history of the earth, that Zion may descend and that the heavens and the earth mingle and become One, as prayed by the Only Begotten, even my brother Jesus of Nazereth. Yea, my Father, I pray that thy will be done and thy Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. Even so. Amen.

PREFACE SECTION 1.
Revelation given on Dec. 24, 1980, as Preface to the Book of Revelations and commandments which follow. Written by way of commandment, calling attention unto that which is about to befall the inhabitants of this land and the whole earth. Written as a warning to all and an invitation to work righteousness that they may escape the judgments of that God who made them which shall shortly befall the inhabitants of the land.
reetings unto whom this work 6 Yea, even those men of old who were mighty shall come; which is unto the men in the earth according to that which is right confounding of the world and before me, saith the Lord. the w ickedness and lies and the 7 Yea that time is fully here which was prophedeceptions thereof. sied by them that it should come, yea even unto 2 Yea, thus saith the Lord unto this generation which now standest in the flesh all those who it is that delight to upon the earth, which earth is accounted as my do that which I shall command, saith the Lord, footstool, saith the Lord. in all righteousness before me: 8 Even so, hearken ye unto the words of my 3 Yea, thus saith the Lord unto all who receive righteous servant, Art Bu lla, whom I the Lord of these things and are obedient, there shall be thy God have appointed and ordained unto this great blessings which shall flow d own from power, and unto whom I have given, saith the heavenly places that ye know not of, and shall Lord , the keys of these things, yea, even the be unto the salvation of your sou ls, both acgathering of Israel, my chosen, from before the cording to that which is spiritual as well as that foundation of the world u p on which thou which is temporal. standest. 4 Yea thus saith the Lord, it is in this manner 9 For I am H e who doth speak unto thee my that I the Lord thy God have spoken unto the servants in the flesh. children of men in all ages of the world u p on 10 Yea even He who was slain for the transwhich thou standest, through my servants, the gressions of my people. Prophets, which world w as organized 11 Therefore, it is for this reason that I the Lord according to a wise purpose in me, which is my thy God have raised u p m y servant Art Bu lla, glory, saith the Lord. that he shall be an ensign unto my people who 5 Yea for thus saith the Lord, the time has fully are the House of Israel, who have been scatcome which was prophesied by them of old tered upon the isle of the sea, which thing are 25 ye, if ye are obed ient unto me through him who were my servants in the flesh.
THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST
whom I have raised up and appointed unto these things. 12 And now , saith the Lord try me and see if my words which I have spoken shall not all be fulfilled , even unto the destruction of that society in which thou livest, which is after the Order of Babylon the Great. 13 For she is fallen! She is fallen! and is become the cage and hold of every foul spirit and the hold of every unclean bird, 14 Yea even that whore which did cause the nations of the earth to drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, as I the Lord God did speak in that day through the mouth of John, my beloved. 15 For she d id cause them to be deceived by the richness of her delicacies, of her herbs, her spices, and her linens, and the souls of men. 16 And the kings of the earth have lived , yea even delisciously with her, 17 Therefor the hour of her Ju d gment is come, for strong is the Lord that judgeth her. 18 And unto my people who are of Israel, who hath given heed unto the laws and ordinances of my gosple I have spoken and administered by my servants whom I have raised up, whose names are sanctified , yea, even Joseph and Hyrum, my servants: 19 Did I not prophesy through them that I would raise up One Mighty and Strong, that He should come unto you and give you words, yea eternal words? 1 20 And these are the words which it was written that they, even they, should come unto thee, O Israel, for this prophecy is fu lfilled in your ears, O Israel. 21 And why is it that ye cannot hear, saith the Lord , when I call unto thee from out of the heavens? 22 Yea, w ill ye reject him whom I have sent unto as the Jews rejected m ine Only Begotten, when I the Father of Heaven and earth sent him also unto them?
23 Will ye also be sm itten and afflicted and tormented, even as they from generation unto generation, and all this because in my wrath I decreed these things in the which they d id harden their hearts against me? 24 Yea, will ye perish also? 25 For they also considered themselves to be wise in their own eyes. 26 Yea, thus saith the Lord , yea, even the Father, have I not caused it to be written that I am no respecter of persons, and that the wisdom of their w ise men would p erish and the understanding of their prudent men be hid? 27 Yea, who is it that standest when I the Lord God of Israel have decreed that they should fall? 28 Wherefor, O earth, great is He that executeth judgment upon thee, even the Lord God of Enoch. 29 For great is He when he shall come with tenthousand of his m ighty ones to reap d own the earth. 2 30 Therefor as it hath been written, associate yourselves, and ye shall be broken in p ieces, gird yourselves and ye shall fall. 31 Yea, for If I who am a man do lift up my voice and cry repentance unto you and ye hate me, what will ye say when the lightning shall streak forth from the east unto the west and the thunder shall utter its voice in the ears of all that live that they shall tingle w ith the sound thereof, saying repent ye and prepare for the great day of the Lord? 32 Yea, for thus saith the Lord, if ye reject these things which are true how can ye receive of that which is greater, saith the Lord , as the heavens are greater than the earth, yea, even that part of the book which is sealed? 33 For I, saith the Lord , am H e that sealed it that it shou ld not come forth except that ye excercise faith in me to receive it, for it verily contains all that has been or ever will be, which things ye shall receive from me, saith the Lord, 26
SECTION 2.
if ye repent and come unto me through him whom I the Lord God have appointed. 34 Yea, for these are the words3 which I promised that they should come, even unto you, and that too according to my most holy commandments, in spite of them whom the devil hath raised up among you who are my sheep, which are wolves, yea, ravening the prey and devouring souls. 4 35 And ye shall be tried even as was Abraham and Sarah in these things; for, saith the Lord , how can ye receive of their reward save it be by my law? 36 For all who cannot abide my law , saith the Lord , and come ye out of Babylon which is fallen cannot be preserved and sanctified by the same and must perish. 37 And my law, saith the Lord, is that which I shall speak unto my servant. 38 And ye shall receive his words unto you as if from mine own mouth, saith the Lord. 39 And inasm u ch as you feel among yourselves to be too w ise or too learned to hearken and be obedient unto him in all things, ye m u st d ie and p erish, saith the Lord , with them who are a law unto themselves. 40 Therefore, hearken unto the Lord thy God and give d iligence in keep ing those commandments which ye shall receive from him who was m ighty and strong unto the confounding of Lucifer before the world was made. 41 Yea, for he is He that was spoken of by my servants that he should come, even according to that which was written. 42 Therefor, all ye nations, fear, tremble, before the Lord of Hosts, at whose word the heavens shall shake and the waves of the sea roar. 43 And my servant shall be, yea, as a young lion in the midst of them that live in the fear of the world instead of the fear of the God of Israel, who it is that speak unto thee. 44 For I am m ighty unto the confounding thereof.
45 But unto them who receive, yea, even these things, will I the Lord God turn cursing, which shou ld come unto them, even unto their destruction, yea, w ill I turn unto blessing, which shall be unto life and that, yea, even eternally in my presence, saith the Lord. 46 Yea for thus saith the Lord, all who will not hearken and be obed ient both temporally according to the flesh, and spiritually which is according to my spirit, saith the Lord , shall receive destruction of their sou ls both accord ing to that which is spiritual as well as that which is tem p oral, for I the Lord God will not be mocked. 47 Yea, even the destruction of the body according to the death thereof, and the destruction also of their sp irits accord ing to the death thereof, which is the second d eath, which cometh unto all in this generation who will not repent, saith the Lord. 48 For the Lord God is a God of life and that everlasting unto those who work according to righteousness and truth and persist in doing so unto the end , but is a God of death and destruction and that eternally, unto them who work iniqu ity and w h o make lies their refuge and persist therein unto the end thereof which end no man knoweth save he shall be made a partaker thereof. 49 Even so, will I the Lord God lay judgment to the line and righteousness to the plummet, yea, even in these things, that the righteous may be separated from wicked and that eternally. 50 For, thus saith the Lord, these things are accord ing to the ju d gments which I, the Lord God , shall pour out upon them, yea, even without let. 51 For in the fury of my might will I destroy them, saith the Lord, if they are in the midst of Babylon the Great, and cease not from their iniqu ity and turn their face unto me and cry unto me for deliverance therefrom. 27
THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST
52 They, meaning this nation, which I did raise up by the hands of my servants Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and others whom I did raise up for this purpose, which men, saith the Lord , this nation, yea, even the inhabitants of the land of this present generation in their cowardice and meaness, and hatred of all that is good and right, would no longer sustain in the statesmanship thereof, for did they not take up the cry and cast out my servant Richard from the Presidency thereof? 53 For where is the mean man, saith the Lord, when it is that I shall come in my glory, with them who be with me, who are warriors, full of the fury and might of the God of Elijah, and Enoch and Moses? 54 Yea, thus saith the Lord God, the blood shall flow and shall come up to the brid les of the horses in that day in the which the hosts of heaven, who be my warriors, shall unleashed in that day. 55 Yea, thus saith the Lord, fear not him who when he hath killed the body, that is all that he can do, but fear Him who when he hath killed the body is able to destroy thy soul, O man, in that hell spoken of. 56 For ye, even ye, are my enemies and shall perish, O man, except ye humble yourself and partake of mine ord inances, and endure even unto the end in righteousness before me and mine anointed, saith the Lord of Hosts. 57 And except ye do this, ye shall be destroyed both body and sou l, saith the Lord , for I the Lord am weary of thine iniqu ity, O man, and thy blasphemies, and thy lou d laughter, and thy taking of sacred things lightly, and I shall requite even these things upon thine own head in that day in which more than twelve legions of the Sons of God w h o are w ith Enoch and Melchizedec shall reap down the earth with my vengeance.
58 For vengeance is mine, saith the Lord, and I w ill repay in that day which shall burn as an oven. 59 For I, saith the Lord , d id raise u p one, yea even my servant Richard, and for his supposed character defect, that, meaning this nation, in their wickedness, did cast him out of the Presidency thereof. 60 Therefore this thing shall they have at my hand, saith the Lord: all government will I remove from them that they shall no longer benefit from the blessings, yea, even of these things. 61 Therefore for this reason, government and the effects thereof shall be taken from them, that they may have that which they did desire, yea, even death, destruction and ruin. 62 For the cries of my righteous servants have ascended up unto me, saith the Lord , in these things. 63 Therefore only that government which I have ordained shall remain. 64 Therefore give heed and hearken unto my words that these things come not upon you, for surely they shall come according to the multitude of your iniqu ities, saith the Lord of Hosts, for I shall not be mocked. 65 For surely it is that the Lord God will do nothing save he shall reveal his secrets unto his servants the prophets. 66 Now who is it that doth mock me in these things, saith the Lord , even though I the Lord God have chosen the man, that through him I should speak unto thee, O man? 67 Therefor give heed unto the words which I have caused that they should be written and p u t into the world , for they verily teach of the particulars and laws which must be obeyed and may not be abrogated in the least by the foolish vagaries and notions of mankind u p on the points of my doctrine, which doctrine was instituted for the salvation of my children from before the foundation of the world upon which 28
SECTION 2.
thou standest, for I the Lord God am the same, yesterday, today, and forever and am no respecter of persons. 68 And I hereby set my seal, saith the Lord , u p on this work and unto whomsoever it may come, that it verily is through and of me, saith the Lord , and d oth teach men the right path which leadeth unto the eternal lives and a spirit of peace w ill accompany this work to testify that I have spoken it, saith the Lord God of the Lives.
69 And is the only true gospel which is authorized by the heavens and recognized thereby. 70 Even so, be d iligent and receive whomsoever I send, saith the Lord , and if ye receive whomsoever I send, ye shall receive me, even Jesus of Nazereth, whom the world in its pride and wisdom, and its m u ltitu d e of creed s and beliefs which are the very chains and fetters of hell, hath not known. 71 Even so, until I come.

THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST hus saith the Lord , from this time forward ye shall receive commandment or instru ction from none other than he whom I have ap p ointed unto this power, even my servant Art Bu lla in whom I am w ell pleased. 2 For I say unto you and my words and arm are mighty to the salvation of them that believe, for I shall prove unto them in this day, saith the Lord, that I am the same yesterday, today and forever, and that I bestow u p on whom I will authorities and p owers to act, for can the Church be bu ilt up unto me except by my power, saith the Lord? 3 For I will make him mighty in word and deed to the confounding of false doctrines and the precepts of men. 4 From this day forward, all authorities and ord inations other than by my servant are hereby nulled and voided, that from henceforth, all ord inations, instru ctions and commandments m u st be from under his hand and by his words, saith the Lord , that ye may know of the gateway that ye must enter to receive eternal life, saith the Lord, for all others are of the devil or of man. 5 For I say unto you that all who reject these things w ill be unable to receive the salvation spoken of and shall thereby be cut off, saith the Lord. ? 6 For my word is qu ick and p owerful as a two-edged sword to the cutting asunder of both joints and marrow and also is m ighty to save them that believe. 7 I speak these words that ye may know of me and my works, for I am Jesus Christ, and I have bestowed upon him the Apostleship and confer upon him all keys both in heaven and in earth that whatsoever he shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven and whatsoever he shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven,
for I am his God and will do according to his words. 8 Therefor give heed that ye transgress not, but his judgment is right, saith the Lord, and if ye do according to my words, ye shall be saved and inherit eternal life, if ye believe in a manner that ye can overcome the world. 9 For all things, powers are given him that if in that day, he should call fire out of heaven, it shall be done, and if he shou ld smite the earth with famine, that it should be done according to his word. 10 Therefor fear and tremble, O ye devil, for ye shall be bound by him, that my people shall be made free. 11 For ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free, saith the Lord. 12 For will I that ye should be in the valley of death any longer? 13 Yea, they shall foam and gnash their teeth, but their day is over, saith the Lord. 14 Therefor this commandment I give you that ye shall provide for him that he shall do my work, and if ye do not these things, saith the Lord, I will reserve a pure people unto me who shall receive him, that they shall be revealed the mysteries of my Kingdom and my life, which is eternal, saith the Lord , that they may partake freely thereof, even the waters thereof. 15 For all who come unto my servant shall be blessed and all those who receive him not shall be damned and burned, saith the Lord. 16 For he, even he, hath a right to the keys of the Priesthood, saith the Lord. 17 For it is his by lineage and by right and his lineage, saith the Lord, hath been hid from the world and also from the Church, that it m ight be made manifest even at this time, saith the Lord , that they might be proven in all things that they too may be made co-heirs w ith mine Only Begotten, saith the Father.
40 30
SECTION 2. 18 And I will that all, rich and p oor come unto me through my servants and d rink from that well of living water spoken of. 19 And he that receiveth my servants receiveth me, saith the Lord God of Israel. 20 Remember, all powers and conferrals, priesthoods, or offices are hereby done away in me and one, even one, remaineth, that ye must receive your salvation and ordinances and conferrals from him who is appointed and any council or the effects thereof are hereby annuled, saith the Lord, that ye may know that I am your God and swear with an oath and will not repent, saith the Lord , that ye shall not enter into my rest except it be through my servant Art Bulla, whom I have appointed. 21 And when I the Lord God did speak unto my servant Joseph Smith, that it should be that no one shou ld be appointed to receive Revelations and Commandments excepting my servant Joseph, I the Lord God did provide that he shou ld abide in me, and that as long as he should abide in me, saith the Lord, then it was that he should be the one empowered to speak in my name, as moved upon by the Holy Ghost. 22 And my servant Joseph, saith the Lord , did abide in me, even unto the end. 23 And how much greater, saith the Lord , is my servant Joseph in mine eyes than those whom ye sustain to be your presidencies? 24 For the powers of the Priesthood are inseparably connected w ith the powers of heaven, and may not be controlled nor handled except upon the princip les of righteousness, saith the Lord God. 25 And if it should be that the Presidencies of my church, saith the Lord , should fall into transgression, then they also, shall not have power to speak in my name, for the welfare and benefit of my Saints, or the members which comprise my Church, saith the Lord. 26 For is it not written that I the Lord your God , even Jesus of Nazareth did say while in
my power among the Jews, that if thine eye which seeth for thee, him that is ap p ointed to watch over thee to show thee light, become a transgressor and offend thee, pluck him out? 27 It is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God, with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. 28 And did I not speak unto my servant Joseph concerning the manuscript of the Book which he had been called upon to translate, that although a man may have many revelations, and have power to do many mighty works, yet if he boasts in his own strength, and sets at naught the counsels of God , and follows after the d ictates of his own will and carnal desires, he must fall and incur the vengeance of a just God upon him? 29 And how much greater, saith the Lord , was my servant Joseph than those whom ye, ye perverse and stiffnecked generation, sustain as your presidents? 30 For even Lucifer, wast he not given authority, before the world was made? 31 And d id I the Father not cause him to be cast out, even though he be my son? 32 And if I the Father of heaven and earth spared not them who were deceived from before the foundation of the world , do ye imagine in your hearts O vain man, that I will spare thee, even if it should be that all perish? 33 Yea, even though it should be easier that a hand be cut off, yet it be better to retain heaven w ith one hand than to be cast out with two, saith the Lord. 34 And this hath been a law through all time and also throughout all eternity, among them who are God s and the Sons of God , even Eloheim. 35 Are ye, ye stiffnecked and perverse generation, different than they in your iniquity? 36 For all of my servants the Prophets have been first cast out from your churches and synagogues, O Israel, and then stoned and 31
THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST crucified and persecuted when it was that they dared when moved upon by the Holy Ghost to speak against them whom ye lift up as your Presidencies who had gone contrary to the covenants which I the Lord God did make with their fathers, even Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. 37 And it was that Paul was smitten by them when speaking concerning their High Priest, as well as mine Only Son begotten in the flesh, saith the Father, wast he not smitten across the mouth by the guard for impertinence? 38 And so it is w ith you, O ye ignorant, haughty and stiffnecked generation concerning him who wast reserved from before the foundation of the world that he should come unto thee, O Ephraim, to save and redeem thee by power which hath not been seen since the days of my son Enoch, who shall return with ten- thousand of the saints in this day, saith the Lord God. 39 For it is that my servant, is he not One mighty and strong to thy salvation, O Ephraim, from the chains of the bondsman which doth afflict thee night and day ? 40 And is not thy slavery O Ephraim, worse than that of Pharoah? 41 For it is that the elements shall move hither and thither at his command in that day when it is that I the Lord God of Jacob shall speak from his mouth with thunder in that day, saith the Lord God. 42 But ye must come unto me, even thy God, O Israel, and it is that in this day, I the Lord God w ill extend my arm for thy deliverance from Babylon, O Ephraim, as prophesied by my servant Brigham Young, one of the greatest of my servants to walk the earth. 43 And as I said concerning thy H igh Priest, were not my servants Peter, James and John, were they not put into prison for preaching sedition against the High Priest, O Ephraim? 44 Are ye better than the Jews, my chosen? 45 For were they not the sons of Abraham,
likeunto thee O Ephraim? 46 And was not him who was reserved also smitten like unto them of old by his hometeacher, and did not the police of this day disregard these things as anciently, O Ephraim? 47 And this thing also was for preaching sedition concerning thy H igh Priest, O Ephraim, who is like unto Caiaphas, who sitteth in the temple of God, as writtenby my servant Paul in the second Chapter of the Book of the letter to the Thesselonians in that day, saith the Lord God? 48 And was it not that this shou ld come to pass before the day of mine advent as prophesied by my servant that it should come in this generation that now standest upon the earth. 49 And is not that son of perdition, that sitteth, revealed by these words of mine, saith the Lord? 50 For thou in thy w ickedness, O Ephraim, have exceeded anything concerning that which I the Lord God have spoken concerning any other people. 51 And it is for this idolotry that ye shall be smitten from generation to generation, if ye repent not and come unto me through him who wast appointed unto thee, even for this purpose wast he sent, as was Jesus unto the Jews. 52 For are ye different than they, O Ephraim? 53 For ye imagine u p in thy heart that if ye had lived in the days of the Prophets and Apostles, that were with me in my power in that day, that ye would not have partaken with that generation of the innocent blood. 54 And yet have ye not lifted up your hands against him who was sent as mine Only Begotten, reserved for thy salvation from before the foundation of the world, O Ephraim? 55 And is not mine adversary the Prince of this world? 56 For mine adversary, saith the Lord , d id buy up armies and navies, Pharisees, Saducees, 32
SECTION 2. High Priests, Presidents of Priesthoods, all that he may reign w ith blood and horror on this earth! 57 And how is it that ye are d ifferent than they, O ye stiffnecked and perverse generation, who have also been deceived? 58 For it hath been a requirement of mine Anointed in all ages of the world to descend below all things, and how are these things possible if it is that he does not descend below the generation in which he lives? 59 For wo unto you when all men speak well of you, and blessed are you when all men revile against you falsely for my name's sake, for so did their fathers unto the prophets which were sent, even unto them, O Ephraim? 60 And d id not I the Lord God say through the mouth of my servant, Wo unto him who is at ease in Zion, yea, wo unto him who saith all is well in Zion, yea, all is well, Zion prospereth! 61 And are not these thy words at this time, saith the Lord God of battles and burnings? 62 Yea, what meanest thou O man, was not my servant, Nephi, a prophet also, when I the Lord God did move upon him by the power of my spirit which is as a consu m ing fire, which did cause even his mighty frame, that it should quake from the power thereof? 63 For he, even he, d id he not prophesy of thee also, O Ephraim, or ye who call themselves Latter-Day-Saints, even at this time? 64 For it is that I the Lord God have known the end from the beginning, even before the foundation of the world, have I known thee. 65 Therefor repent, repent, lest unhappily ye find yourselves in that torment which shall consume thee as a consuming fire, O ye rebellious children who are full of iniquity! 66 For hath it not been written, that by the weak and the simple and the despised things of the earth, that I the Lord God would thrash the nations by the power of my Spirit? 33
67 And are ye not a nation unto me, O Ephraim, that ye should come out of her, even Babylon, and take thy place among the nations as the queen thou art, O Ephraim, Ephraim, my beloved from before the foundation of the world? 68 For thou, even thou art my beloved, saith the Lord God of Israel. 69 For wast it not that Enoch was slow of speech, even that the people did hate him? 70 And did not my servant Moses, stutter, and this because of his meekness before the people? 71 And was not my servant David but a boy when he did slay Goliath? 72 And was not m ine Only Begotten considered to be the least in the Kingdom of Heaven by them who thrust him out and would not feed him that he wandered alone in the desert without friend among men, being tormented because of the exqu isite truth and power which was his to wield for the salvation of mankind, and they did crucify him, O man? 73 And thus the warfare which began before the foundation of the world , hath it not been continued here, O man against the Holy Priesthood of the Son of God and shall not be ended until one or the other is bound and driven from off the earth. 74 But them who do serve me, saith the Lord, shall receive Eternal Life w ith the Father and the Sons and Daughters of God! 75 But them who hate me, saith the Lord , shall receive Eternal Death, and shall d w ell with the Devil and his Sons, for all eternity, if it should be that they will not repent and be obedient unto mine ordinances, saith the Lord. 76 And their worm dieth not and their torment is as a lake of fire and brimstone. 77 And the end thereof no man knoweth, save he shall be made a partaker thereof. 78 And this key, saith the Lord , I give unto thee, O man, that ye may be able to d iscern
THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST any influence, whether it be from that Evil One, or from my Spirit, saith the Lord. 79 That which causeth your sou ls to expand and to believe in the Sons of God, ye may know w ith a perfect know ledge that it is sent by the gift and p ower of God for the salvation of the sons and d aughters of men, and on the contrariwise, that which doth cause pain and d istress of sou l and d espair and that which causeth you, O man, to turn away from the God that made you is not of me, saith the Lord, but is of that Evil One. 80 For he desireth your destruction O man, and if ye are ensnared by him, ye must perish, saith the Lord. 81 And this despair and lack of hope cometh because of iniquity and unbelief, and doth prod u ce death, both sp iritually and physically, saith the Lord. 82 Therefor if the words of a man edify and give hope and light and life, then ye may know it is of God, but if a man's words cause despair and take away hope and faith in God , then ye may know it is not of me, saith the Lord. 83 And that light which filleth the immensity of space is the same light which quickeneth your understand ings, saith the Lord , and proceedeth from me, even the author thereof. 84 And those bod ies which are Celestial, which are filled w ith light, comprehendeth all things, and they are God s, for all things are theirs, whether life or death,for all power is given unto them who be God s, even the sons and daughters of God. 85 And man, not the woman is the crown of creation, saith the Lord God, and she shall submit unto me through the man, even the Lord God the mightiest of all, or she shall be removed out of her place and another woman more worthy of my glory shall stand beside the man, whom I the Lord God have created in mine own image. 86 And that sp irit which leadeth the woman
to assert herself independant of man, whom I have formed after mine own image, the glory of my form cannot be withstood by the earth in its present form, is that devil spoken of, even the enemy of all that which is right and just and good, and unless she shall free herself from this delusion taught even at this time among the children of men, which is which is contrary to that Order among he sons and the daughters of God, which Order is called Patriarchal, which is the order which exists among them who are in heaven, she shall be destroyed by me, saith the Lord God of burnings and might and honor. 87 For I will not be mocked by the ignorant and foolish of the children of men who know not my ways nor do they know of my thoughts, saith the Lord God. 88 For my ways are not your ways, saith the Lord, and my thoughts are not your thoughts O man, and O woman, who art in rebellion even in these and other things at this present time. 89 And unless ye repent of these false teachers, ye shall be destroyed, saith the Lord. 90 For I, even I, am a glorified and exalted man, saith the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and I have not changed nor w ill I, but I am the same, yesterday, today and forever, saith the Lord God of Israel, and Judah, for I, even I, d id appear unto the Patriarchs of Old , and did show unto them, also, my glory. 91 And as I said concerning the sons and daughters of God , they speak and it is done, and they move though the immensity of space and time at will, and they move, saith the Lord, faster than thought, and they possess all power, m ight and intelligence, and nothing can withstand them and at their presence all things flee away unless qu ickened by them, and are consumed from the might of their glory, of which the sun at noonday is typ ical in comparison. 92 Yea, even the earth upon which thou standest, O man, shall be consumed at their appear34
SECTION 2. ance unto thee at the last day. 93 For d id not my servant behold u s in that day that we spake unto him from out of the heavens, and did he not behold our glory, his frame being quickened by us that he cou ld w ithstand our presence, which in the might thereof, the tongue of man cannot form? 94 And thus he, even he is an eyew itness of our glory as them of old , for he stood in our presence, and we did converse with him face to face in our own tongue. 95 And he too shall assume his rightful place among the sons and d aughters of God for we have proved him, saith the Lord , for he also was with us from the beginning, and w as ordained by us that he should come unto thee, O man, at this time, that he should testify unto thee that he has seen for himself as them which are fabled among men, even them of Old. 96 For ye shall also be partakers of life w ith us, yea, even that life which surpasseth all understand ing as soon as ye are sanctified through the words which we shall speak unto thee, O man, through the mouth of our anointed prophet, even Art Bu lla, who is that one who shou ld come unto thee O man, that thou shouldest partake with us of that life and intelligence and power which the mind of man cannot comprehend in the glory and might and majesty and power thereof. 97 And it is the desire of that Evil One that ye be kept from a knowledge of these things, that ye be kept in darkness, death and despair. 98 And the operations of that Evil One are detected through the medium of mine anointed, even my servant, who is that One mighty and also strong prophesied that he should come unto thee. 99 For it is that that old serpent the devil, transformeth himself into an angel of light, and his m inisters, yea of that which is known as Christianity---which doctrines are an abomination in my sight, saith the Lord ---into
m inisters of righteousness, that the whole world lieth and groaneth even now in sin. 100 And sin is rebellion against light and truth, and knowledge and is darkness. 101 And these things are detected through the medium of mine appointment. 102 And thus, O man, ye are helpless against these things, except ye be obed ient unto them who are em p owered by me to detect and rebuke these things that ye be ed ified and be comforted and have life which shall swell your souls, that ye expand in light and truth and life, and this promise I give un-to thee, that ye also shall behold m y glory and enter into my presence through the medium of mine appointment, which is after the Order of Melchizedec, saith the Lord. 103 For he hath come unto thee that ye shall be redeemed up into my presence as anciently. 104 And if ye are obed ient unto me through him whom I the Lord God have chosen, ye shall have an escape and ye shall be sheltered as a hen doth shelter her chicks under her w ing even from the buffetings of Satan. 105 And it is that those who go on in their rebellion against m ine anointed shall receive of the second d eath, if they repent not, which is the death of the sp irit, which is the total anhialation thereof back to its native element from which it was begotten in that day, for the devil desireth that ye partake with him of these things. 106 Therefor that which produceth life and stability and faith and a sound mind and courage, and hope and peace and love and joy and power and glory and honor and might and intelligence is of me, even the Father thereof, and that which produceth death and the effects therof which are despair, and lack of hope and doubtings and anguish of sou l and fear, and troubles, and tremblings and buffetings and uneasiness of m ind and heart and sou l and pain, and verily anything which doth not edify 35
THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST is not of me and is darkness, saith the Lord God of Israel, and is of the devil, even the author of death and the effects therof which are this despair, and lack of hope, and anguish of sou l and fear, and troubles, and tremblings and buffetings and uneasiness of m ind and heart and soul, these things, are they not of that evil one, saith the Lord? 107 For by their fruits ye shall know them. 108 And uneasy lou d emotion and exclamations, and shoutings are not of me, saith the Lord. 109 But righteous rebuke and anger against uncleaness is of me, for m ine Only Begotten, wast he not full of the rebuke of the Lord? 110 And did they not crucify him because of these things? 111 Therefor if ye are rebuked by me, receive it w ith joy, for thus are yeaccounted w orthy to be my sons and m y daughters, saith the Lord God. 112 For what father among you correcteth not his children whom he loveth and this in his anxiety for their welfare as his own that they perish not? 113 Therefor if ye are rebuked by him receive it with gladness for it shall work upon thy soul for thy good, if ye receive it without anger and railings, saith the Lord, and ye shall be my children, even sons and d aughters of the Most High. 114 But if it so be that ye go on in your rebellion against me, saith the Lord , and m ine anointed, then ye shall be thrust down into that hell spoken of and ye shall not escape,even the buffetings of Satan until that which is known as the second resurrection. 115 And the chains thereof, even hell, do they not bind your minds and sou ls even now unto destruction, saith the Lord? 116 And a little child , Satan hath no power over, therefor, ye must become as little children and be rebaptized for a rem ission of sins by
mine anointed, even my servant Art Bulla, and those who are ordained by him unto this power, and none else, for straight is the gate, and truly, narrow is the way, saith the Lord God. 117 And he that will harden his heart against these things, and go on in the blindness of his m ind , must perish, saith the Lord , with them who are wise and prudent and lifted up in the pride and cares of the world , even your merchants, your doctors, and your lawyers and your scribes, and pharisees, and your teachers, and your politicians, and all those who do uphold that which is known as Babylon the Great, who are m ine enem ies, saith the Lord , who are p illars which uphold the kingdoms of this world, which are of the devil, and who did take m ine Only Begotten to the top of the Tem p le and say unto him, all these are kingdoms and they are mine, and w h o did crucify mine Only Begotten in that day because of his so-called offense against their order, and to which my people Israel are enslaved, even Zion and are trod d en under foot by them at this time, saith the Lord God of Israel. 118 For would not the wicked and ignorant of the children men trod under foot the very God of Israel if in their power? 119 And for this reason they shall be ground, even into powder by my warriors, who are full of honor, saith the Lord. 120 For is thy slavery, O my people, not worse than that of Pharoah? 121 And d id I not prophesy these things through the mouth of my servant Moses, in the Book of Deuteronomy in that day? 122 And these, servants of the world , if they retreat not from their stand, shall suffer the second d eath, for who shall w ithstand the Holy One of Israel, who is a consuming fire of those who are m ine enem ies as in the days of Pharoah. 36
SECTION 2. 123 And this hath been my gosple, saith the Lord, in all ages of the world upon which thou standest. 124 And now as I said concerning your Presidencies, saith the Lord, that if it should be that they shou ld w h olly depart from my counsels unto them, in the hardness of their hearts, and the blindness of their m ind s, which thing hath afflicted almost all of your authorities from the time of Joseph Smith, that they shall not have power to appoint another in the stead thereof. 125 For there is an end to their priesthood, if they shou ld cause themselves to be severed from the heavens. 126 And it was that even my servant Joseph d id p lead long and hard unto me concerning the manuscript, in the which I d id grant unto him that which did prove to be a snare and a curse instead of a blessing, saith the Lord. 127 And in this day, saith the Lord, them who ye unlawfully sustain as your Presidencies, did also p lead long and hard, even as my servant Joseph, for that which was not right, and I the Lord God did grant that which should be a snare unto their souls, ven in these things, yea, even unto their destruction. 128 And how m u ch greater was my servant Joseph, than them whom ye sustain as your presidents, saith the Lord? 129 For did I the Lord God not speak through the mouth of my servant as he known among men, Ezekial, that if the Prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the Lord have deceived that prophet, that I may take the House of Israel in their own heart, saith the Lord , because they are all estranged from m e through their idols, in the which they do live, saith the Lord , delisciously with Babylon the Great, and seek even the praise and honor of the world? 130 And this is recorded in the 14th Chapter of the Book of Ezekial, the ninth verse.For did I the Lord God not also grant unto Israel,
through Samuel, my servant, who saw much affliction because of the w ickedness of the Children of Israel in his days, that they also shou ld have a king like unto other nations, which wast the desires of their hearts? 131 And did this also not prove to be a snare and a curse unto them, for how oft was Israel led astray through the wickedness of her kings? 132 And did not Utah, saith the Lord , desire to become a state like unto all other states, and for this cause ye did forsake my law, even that of Abraham, O ye Latter-Day-Saints, yea, even that which ye, O ye Gentiles call polygamy, even as Israel hath forsaken my statutes and my judgments in all ages of the world and have even gone whoring after strange gods? 133 And your presidencies, saith the Lord , have hearkened unto the voices of them whom I did not send, they did bow unto the clamor that those who call themselves Latter-Day-Saints should become in the abominations thereof like unto all other nations who in their w isdom know not God , and his righteous decrees concerning the nations and their boundaries and habitations which were before set by me and councils of the Sons of God before the world was made, even by them, saith the Lord God of Israel. 134 And it is for this reason that I the Lord God of Israel have raised up my servant,as he is known among men, Art Bulla, that he shall call down that which shall destroy mine enemies, even in times of old, yea even that of Elijah, my Son. 135 And ye shall hearken unto his words, saith the Lord , unto my people who are called Latter-Day-Saints, or ye shall be cut off, yea forever and cast into the fire, saith the Lord God, who is m ighty to the consu m ing of those who fight against me as in the days of Pharoah. 136 And none shall stay him, saith the Lord , for he is a warrior of my house, who wast mighty and also strong to the confounding of 37
THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST Lucifer before the world w as made,and w h o shall fight you in the fury and might of the Spirit of the Lord of Hosts, even shall he be as a bull in a net, full of the fury of the Lord, against them who live in the fear of the world. 137 Yea, even now, O Israel, ye are led astray through them whom ye lift in the praise thereof, even more than kings, and whom you worship in the temple of God as God, which thing hath provoked me in my wrath, saith the Lord, that I have decreed that ye shall be destroyed , saith the Lord, except ye shall repent and come unto me through him whom I have appointed. 138 And these things have I the Lord God spoken concerning him who wast reserved as a vessel of wrath, even as Pharoah, from before the foundation of the world , even Spencer Kimball, whom ye unrighteously revere as a type of the Son of God. 139 And thus is my name continually blasphemed every day by them. 140 For did I not say through Moses my servant, that ye shall have no other God s before me, and yet ye run after the error of Balaam and the reward of Core, even in these things? 141 Verily thus saith the Lord God unto you, O Israel, that ye be a separate and d istinct people unto me and that ye not mingle your seed w ith the seed of Cain and that ye cast them out from my House that mine House be no more defiled and polluted, even in these things. 142 For it is not my will, saith the Lord , that Cain come in with you and partake with you of your blessings, O Israel, until the redemption of the earth and until all the other sons and daughters of Adam have received of their blessings. 143 For this hath been my law , and shall be, saith the Lord, throughout all eternity. 144 And whosoever know ingly shall transgress against this law, saith the Lord, shall
receive the curse thereof u p on him and upon his seed forever. 145 And this accord ing to the curse which I the Lord God did put upon Ham and his seed through the mouth of my servant Noah, your Father. 146 For how much greater, saith the Lord , was my servant Noah than those whom you sustain as your presidents? 147 For, saith the Lord, that the curse should be removed , it would requ ire one like unto Noah in authority that he should remove it, and there was none greater, excepting Father Adam, who is God, even the Father of both heaven and earth. 148 For he, even He, O man, is the Father of heaven and the Father of earth. 149 And this is life eternal that they might know thee, O my Father, and thy sons whom thou hast sent, even Jesus who is named the Christ, and that they might know also of that One who is m ighty and w h o is strong, who even now standest among the children of men and they know him not, even as they know not thee who hast sent them, nor did they know thy son Noah, when it was that he stood among the children of men, that they should be warned of that which thou didst intend to do. 150 For thus saith the Lord , if he said unto them whom the word of God shou ld come ye are Gods, why say ye that I blaspheme when I say that the sons of God are one with the Father, even as the Only Begotten who is one of his sons, prayed that they would become, even as they, in might and intelligence and p ower, worlds without end? 151 And which of the sons of God hath the world not hated and scourged, saith the Father? 152 And it is that the Sons of Ham shall not partake of these things, saith the Father, for they, even they, are upheld and praised by the world even at this time, even as the sons of Cain, before the flood. 38
SECTION 2. 153 And thus he who is friend s with the world , even in these things is verily m ine enemy, saith the Father, and shall be, even unto their destruction. 154 For it was that before the flood, the sons of men did take unto them wives which were of the seed of Cain, and d id provoke me in my wrath, even in these things, for it was that all of the earth hadgone after this exceed ing great error, and it was that their seed , yea, even all the earth wast in danger of being polluted and receiving the curse thereof that the p lan of salvation would thereby become frustrated. 155 And it was that one of the sons of Noah-who it was preached against these things, that he was verily hated of the people for his supposed ignorance and biggotry, yea even one of his sons, even Ham, also did take to wife one of the daughters of Cain, and the daughters of Noah did also pollute themselves through their marriages. 156 And in these things was my servant Noah vexed exceedingly, even sorely did he cry unto me concerning the vexation of his spirit in these things, even night and day did he cry unto me. 157 And thus he did suffer exceedingly, even as m ine Only Begotten d id suffer, because of the wickedness of the children of men. 158 And it repented N oah that God had made man to walk upon the earth, even in mine own image. 159 And thus did I the Father send in the flood u p on them that the inheritance of m ine anointed might be preserved, and the promises m ight be fu lfilled w h ich had been made unto them, that through his seed , mine Only Begotten should be born. 160 And this would not have been possible had the Curse of Cain taken effect u p on all the inhabitants of the earth. 161 And thus the earth would have become lost forever had not the flood come in upon the land.
162 And I the Lord God did suffer that the curse of Cain shou ld be preserved in the land through Ham and his w ife Egyptus that they were of the eight who were saved by water, even in the Ark were they saved along with Shem, who is Melchizedec, and Japeth, the other sons of Noah and their wives. 163 And the ark even now resteth, saith the Lord , upon the top of the Mountain which is known as Arrarat, even unto this day, as recorded in the writings of Josephus, my servant, in the land now known as Armenia, saith the Lord. 164 And the land of Egypt taketh its name from the wife of Ham, for the pharoahs were descended from Ham and the land therof d id lie under water. 165 And the pharoahs, saith the Lord , d id copy that form of government which is known as Patriarchal, and w ould fain claim the Priesthood through Ham by Noah. 166 And thus the curse was preserved in the land and shall not be removed by mine authority, but shall continue until the end of the world, saith the Lord God of Israel, my chosen from before the foundation of the world. 167 And I the Lord God did reserve the Land of Africa for the seed of Ham and their posterity forever, and it is not right that the Chosen Seed mix with Ham or the Gentiles, nor should Ham mix with Japeth, the Gentiles, saith the Lord. 168 For this purpose did I the Lord God place the barrier of color to separate Shem, my chosen, through whom the promises and the blessings made unto the Fathers were preserved. 169 And it is that a skin of blackness was p laced u p on Ham and his seed , which thing hath always followed them who be apostates from the Holy Priesthood after the Order of the Son of God*.
THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST 170 And this mark hath been upon them in all ages of the world , saith the Lord , that my people who are of the House of Israel should not desire them to mix their seed w ith them, that they and their children shou ld be a pure and holy people unto me, forever undefiled, For I the Lord God am the author of the races, and who is it, saith the Lord , that stretchest forth his puny arm, to alter the decrees of the Most H igh which were made from before the foundation of the world? 171 For it was that the sp irits of men were segregated according to valiance and also intelligence in races and grades, and that teaching that all men are the same is an abomination in my sight, saith the Lord, for ye, even ye, O man, who dare raise thy head in ignorance of my power in these things, yea, even my sovereignty over the nations shall be ground into powder when it is that more than twelve legions of my little ones shall reap down thy earth, O man and O woman, whose hearts bleed for Cain, the first murderer. 172 Yea for ye shall be consumed at that day which shall burn as an oven. 173 For as in the days of Noah, so shall the coming of the Son of Man be. 174 For it is that my decrees shall not be abrogated nor done away with by the weak and ignoble and ignorant of the children of men, who have no voice, saith the Lord. 175 And my word which I have spoken in this day by my servant shall not return unto me void, saith the Lord of the races of men. 176 And now concerning them who call themselves saints of the Most H igh, d id I not speak unto my servant that cursed is he that relieth upon the arm of flesh or he that maketh flesh his arm? 177 How is it O Israel, that ye cannot hear when I the Lord your God speak unto thee out of the heavens?
178 Did not my servant Joseph and also Brigham, speak unto them who comprised m y Saints,saith the Lord that they depended on the prophet, and did not seek unto me for them selves 1, hence their minds were darkened, and this because of the neglect of the things which were delegated unto them? 179 For it, saith the Lord , is ap p ointed unto every tub, that it shall stand u p on its own bottom, saith the Lord. 180 Yea, know ye not that mine anointed is but a man, and that even Moses requ ired that his arms be supported in the weight therof? 181 And d id not my servant Moses exclaim , Would to God that all of Israel were prophets? 182 And d id he not pray unto me that I the Lord God should grant unto the Seventy, that they also shou ld prophesy and share the burden? 183 And d id I the Lord not p lace my spirit also upon them? 184 And was not my servant Moses, who was in the sim ilitu d e of m ine Only Begotten not comforted in these things? 185 And how m u ch greater was my servant Moses, than them who ye sustain as your presidents? 186 Have I not spoken and said time after time, that he that is commanded in all things is a slothful and an unwise servant? 187 O ye w icked and perverse and stiffnecked generation who are full of lies and iniquity, saith the Lord , your refuge of lies in the which ye cover yourselves, and say unto this people, who seeth us or who knoweth us shall be swept away by a tempest of hail and a destroying storm which shall sweep away the lies and the waters shall sweep away even your refuge, saith the Lord. 188 For the Lord God hath a mighty and strong one, even as I the Lord God did speak through the mouth of Isaiah, my servant who is even now with me. 40
SECTION 2. 189 For upon his gaze, saith the Lord , d id burst a vision of futurity in the which he did see that Ephraim, even Ephraim, should be gathered out of the nations upon the head of the fat vallies. 190 And verily, this prophecy contained in the 28th Chapter thereof is fu lfilled in your ears. 191 For whom shall he teach knowledge? 192 and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? 193 for by his know ledge shall my righteous servant save many, saith the Lord God, even them that are weaned from the milk and drawn from the breasts, even Sarai. 194 And did I not reveal unto my servant Joseph that that which contrad icts a former revelation is false even though it be from an angel from heaven? 195 And how m u ch greater is an angel from heaven than them who ye sustain and your presidents, saith the Lord? 196 For behold, my servants the prophets see in part and know in part, but mine angels, saith the Lord , see face to face and thereby know much that is truth, for they behold my glory. 197 And them which are false prophets see not at all, but divine lies, and behold, saith the Lord, how is it that ye in your heartsdo worship them, when it was that John my Beloved , who would fain have worshipped my messenger on the Isle of Patmos was forbid d en, even though his voice shook the grou n d u p on which he stood,and the brightness of his ap p earing wast beyond all imagination? 198 And did I the Lord not speak through the mouth of my servant Joseph that I the Lord God would send one Mighty and Strong, even unto thee, O Israel, and d id not the know ledge thereof, even the might of my spirit cause the bones of my servant to quake from the power thereof and d id it not cause even his mighty
frame to quake, yea from the glory of my power, saith the Lord? 199 While that man who was called of God and appointed , even the President of my Church, saith the Lord , yea even him who did unrighteously contrary to my will, who did stretch forth his hand to steady the ark of God, did I the Lord God not speak that he should be smitten by the shaft of death as by the vivid shaft of lightning? 200 And d id I the Lord God not smite him, saith the Lord, and did I the Lord God not put the life of thy president, even Spencer W. Kimball, who is a son of perdition, saith the Lord God of Israel, into the hands of him whom I, the Lord God have reserved and given unto him power, even the scepter thereof, even of David? 201 For he is a descendant partly of David and also Ephraim, as is spoken by Isaiah, and thus the keys of the Priesthood are his, by lineage and by right, saith the Lord God of Art Bulla. 202 And d id not my servant Art Bu lla not plead unto me for his life, and this in fear and trembling before me, of my my power unto destruction, both spirit and body which he did behold was the fate thereof, that his life, even that false prophet be spared? 203 And thus that which is recorded in the 85th section of that known as the Doctrine and Covenants, is it not fulfilled in your ears, saith the Lord? 204 And these things despite the reverence which ye have for your President, saith the Lord God. 205 For I am no respector of persons, saith the Lord , and because ye, O ye Latter-Day-Saints hold m en's persons in ad m iration because of advantage in these things, ye, even ye, saith the Lord , shall be sm itten from generation to generation if ye reject him whom I have sent unto thee, O Zion, my second born at this time. 41
THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST 206 For d id I the Lord not send m ine Only Begotten unto the Jews, saith the Lord, and did they not reject him who was appointed , my firstborn, by me, saith the Father, and did they not have their H igh Priest also, even as ye, O Ephraim? 207 For it is that Mine Only Begotten and that One Mighty and Strong have they not been twin brethren from before the foundation of the world, saith the Lord of the whole earth? 208 And it is that One shall stand to ju d ge Ephraim, and One Judah, and they are One w ith me, my two witnesses from before the foundation of the world, saith the Father. 209 And which is greater, for out of the mouths of these two witnesses shall every word be established , saith the Lord God who is the Father of both heaven and of earth. 210 And thus it is that that One m ighty and strong shou ld be sent unto thee,that ye be tested even in these things, as the Jews by mine Only Begotten, to prove you, saith the Lord , whether ye would be obedient unto me through my Sp irit, saith the Lord , for it is that no man knoweth my will but by my Sp irit, saith the Lord. 211 For it was that ye, O Ephraim, were scattered among the nations of the Gentiles when it was that I the Father of heaven and of earth did send mine Only Begotten unto them, and I the Father am no respector of persons, even in the great test. 212 And thus it is that that One m ighty and strong should come unto thee, that ye be tested even in these things, to prove you, saith the Lord , whether ye would make the same mistake as them of old, or whether ye would be obedient unto me through my Sp irit, saith the Lord, in all things whatosever I the Lord your God, should command you. 213 For is it that ye are d ifferent than the Jews, O Ephraim, for unto thee belongeth the birthright, even of Jacob, my chosen, even from
before the foundation of the world was it given unto thee, O Israel, that ye shou ld come forth and prove yourselves, even at this time, as did the Jews theirs? 214 And d id not I the Lord god not speak through the mouth of my servant Joseph that many would be hoisted into power within my Church, who have broken the New and Everlasting Covenant at this time, and these things because of the money and the world ly learning which they seemed to be in possession of?2 215 And thus the devil, is he not transformed into an angel of light, even in these things, and doth he, the devil, not transform his ministers into ministers of righteousness? 216 For it was that my servant Joseph Smith and Brigham Young prophesied 3 these things that they should come to pass, and that One Mighty and Strong, that he should come to set in order the Church, by the power of the scepter which he doth hold in his hand , even the keys of the Apostleship , which he doth hold for his generation as Peter at the gate, doth he hold judgment for this generation. 217 And ye shall be redeemed by power as in days of old , even as Enoch and Moses, when I the Lord God shall speak through his mouth in that day, saith the Lord. 218 And ye shall receive him, saith the Lord, or ye shall be damned and cut of from first to last as the Jews. 219 For he is also a tried and precious stone, also rejected by the builders, as was mine Only Begotten, who is now with me, saith the Father. 220 And thus it is that my friend s, saith the Lord, have been cast out from among thy midst, as anciently, O Israel. 221 And d id I the Lord God not reveal unto my servants, Joseph, Heber, and John that the sons of Cain shall not have right unto the Priesthood nor their generations until after that which is known as the millenium among men? 42
SECTION 2. 222 Therefor by this key, saith the Lord , the devil may be detected even though he should appear unto thee as an angel of light. 223 And how m u ch less, saith the Lord , are your Presidencies than an angel of light? 224 And how m u ch less are they than Brigham, Heber and John Taylor? 225 Yea, thus saith the Lord , think not that I am come to destroy the law , or the prophets: I am come not to destroy, but to fulfill. 226 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall not pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 227 Yea, thus saith the Lord , have all things been fulfilled? 228 Behold I say unto you, nay. 229 for has the millenium, even the thousand years of peace, hath it passed , or hath it been fulfilled? 230 I the Lord thy God , who maketh the heavens and the earth and set them in their proper frame and orbits say unto you, O man, nay. 231 Hath the earth received her resurrection and her final reward? 232 I say unto thee, O man, who walketh about in darkness at noon-day, nay. 233 Have all the sons and daughters of Adam received of the blessings which shall be theirs? 234 I say unto thee, O man, nay. 235 And it is not until all these things, even that which hath been spoken by the mouths of my servants the prophets be fulfilled that the Sons of Cain, the first murderer, shall receive of the blessings of the Priesthood of the Son of God , and then they shall be resurrected to receive of that which hath been appointed unto them from before the foundation of the world. 236 For the blood of righteous Abel d id cry up unto me, even in these things. 237 And it is because of unbelief that this great w ickedness hath come among you, even at this time.
238 Whosoever shall therefor break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: But whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 239 And how much greater, saith the Lord, is my servant, Art Bulla, than those whom ye sustain as your Presidencies? 240 For the keys, even of the Kingdom of God have been taken, even from them, and given unto him who shall do my will, and believed in my words and my works from before the foundation of the world, saith the Lord God of Israel, even unto my servant have they been given, that he may prove unto you, O man, that I the Lord thy God am the same, yesterday, today, and forever. 241 For, saith the Lord, there is no agency except their own wicked hearts of unbelief, in your prophets at all, but they, even they, are as wood and stone. 242 Therefor it is, O Israel, that for this idolotry, that ye shall be cut off from under the heavens, if it so be that ye continue on in the stubborness and rebellion of your hearts. 243 Therefore mock not, for all shall be consumed at that day, and he who fights against Zion shall be damned and burned. 244 Therefor beware that ye raise not your heel against mine anointed, and judge no longer after ap p earances, for do I not cover the heavens w ith sackcloth and make the rivers to dry up that the fish stink, that ye may know of my power? 245 And I will prove them and see who is acquainted with my voice. 246 For my voice is my spirit. 247 And whoso hearkeneth unto the voice of my spirit, these are they who inherit Celestial glory with me, saith the Lord. 248 And all those who are not acquainted with my voice are not of me. 43
THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST 249 And I will prove them, saith the Lord , and I will prove them, whether they shall be obed ient unto whatsoever I shall command them. 250 And how shall I command except by my voice, saith the Lord? 251 And again I say that my voice is my Spirit. 252 Therefor, whosoever is unacquainted w ith my spirit, how shall they obtain the knowledge wherein that they may know how that they should act according to my will, or as is commonly spoken of, work? 253 For if they be not acquainted w ith my voice, then their works are not according to the commandments given through the power of my voice, and every man shall be judged according to his works, that thereby they w ill be accounted of, for their thoughts, their hearts, and their outward acts of the flesh, and from these things, they shall be given their respective opportunities and blessings and cursings in the eternities to come. 254 And wo be unto the d isobed ient, for where I am , there they cannot come, saith the Lord. 255 Therefor give heed concerning yourselves, for even so, w ill I ju d ge you when you shall come into the presence of m ine anointed to be evaluated and ju d ged for the deeds of the flesh, whether in the heart or manifested outwardly. 256 Thereby, O ye hypocrits, and liars, ye shall be found out. 257 Therefor, Wo! 258 Wo! be unto those who are found to be thus, for shall they escape my awful wrath in that day, saith the Lord? 259 Nay, but they shall be destroyed , saith the Lord , that their esteem ing of sacred things as a thing of naught, shall no more come up unto me as the abominations of the past which
abominations caused mine anger to be kind led against the inhabitants of the whole earth. 260 For w ill I that the earth be polluted any more by them, saith the Lord? 261 Nay, for I will cleanse the earth by fire in that day that I may discover their iniquities no more. 262 And the earth in this day shall be made as a paradise for them that remain. 263 Even so, I have said it by the mouth of my servant in whom I am well pleased and surely his words also shall come to pass, for by the mouth of my servants of by m ine own mouth, saith the Lord God, it is the same. 264 Therefor beware how thou holdest the oracles of God. Even so. Amen. * 2 Nephi 5:21-25. 1. Footnote, bottom of pg. 18, vol 5, DHC. 2. Journal of Mosiah Hancock; LDS Church Historian's Office. 3. D&C 85:7-8.

hus saith the Lord unto my servants that inasmuch as ye have inquired of me to know the source of truth or that which doth testify of me, saith the Lord, 2 Behold, I will give unto you knowledge concerning these things, inasm u ch as ye have asked in all d iligence and humility before me. 3 Behold thus saith the Lord, all truth cometh from m e, whether pertaining to those things which are of a tem p oral or as is spoken, a scientific nature, as well as that which is spiritual, or that which pertaineth unto the spirit of man. 4 For u p on that death spoken of which is a temporal death, which is the death of the body, behold that which is the spirit of man which is in the express image of the body, doth it d ie also? 5 I say unto you nay, but it doth continue before me, saith the Lord God, that it lives and moves and has a being.
6 And that which is the sp irit of man can never die except it be ordained of me, and thus saith the Lord, the spirits of all men and women stood in my presence from before the foundation of the world , for d id I not speak unto my servant Job, in the which I inquired of him, And where wast thou when the morning stars sang together and the sons of God shouted for joy? 7 Yea, where wast thou? 8 And d id I not speak unto my servant Jeremiah: Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee and sanctified thee to be a prophet unto the nations. c 9 And the spirits of all men had their agency which I the Lord their God did given unto them in that day, yea, even from before the foundation of the world u p on which thou standest. 10 For I did command, and that matter which was in an unorganized state, became organized that these sp irits m ight have whereu p on that they would dwell in mortal tabernacles of flesh 46
SECTION 3. and bone and sinew , and prove themselves whether they would be obed ient in all things whatsoever I the Lord their God shou ld command them. 11 And I the Lord their God d id cause that their memory should become blotted out concerning those things which transpired before that they should become agents unto themselves. 12 But behold as I the Lord liveth a perfect know ledge of these things shall be restored unto them in mine own due time, saith the Lord, that they shall know all things pertaining to the past, present, or the future which are true. 13 Then cometh that judgment spoken of and the resurrection of the dead, in the which the small and the great shall be brought to stand at that day a , and if they have worked righteousness, righteousness shall be restored unto them, but if they have done evil in all the days of their probation, evil shall be restored unto them, and this accord ing to that which is just and true, saith the Lord, which is in me. 14 And the resurrection is the reuniting of the spiritual and the temporal bodies, which bringeth a fullness of joy saith the Lord. 15 And for this cause was man created that he might have joy. 16 Therefor he tasteth the bitter that he might prize the sweet. 17 And the resurrection is brought to pass by the atonement which was wrought out in the day that I, the Father, d id command that mine Only Begotten who was prepared as a fitting sacrifice from before the foundation of the world, for he also was with me from the beginning, shou ld take u p on himself the sins of the world. 18 And a record of these things is had in that scripture known as the Bible, which is had among the Gentiles, even down unto the present time.
19 For I did cause that it should be preserved among them that it should point their minds in the d irection of that path which leadeth unto the Eternal Lives spoken of. 20 And other scripture have I caused that it should be written also, for I the Lord God am the same yesterday, today, and forever, and my work, neither my word is yet finished that I should not cause more to be written. 21 For out of the mouths of two or three witnesses shall every word be established, saith the Lord of the whole earth. 22 Wherefor who is it that doth counsel me in their iniquity, saith the Lord, because it is that I the Lord God of Isaiah deign not to speak unto them in my power, they deny that I the Lord God can give utterance as in times of old. 23 For I the Lord God speak and the children of men in their wickedness and depravity deny these things and set up stakes according to their narrow understandings and wrest the scrip tures away from their true meanings that they perish, yea even from the earth. 24 For all shall be revelators in the day when I come in clouds of glory to their destruction, for they shall see signs in that day, but not unto their salvation, saith the Lord God of Enoch. 25 For do I not speak face to face w ith those who be with me in heaven, saith the Lord? 26 Then how is it that I cannot also speak unto them who wander in darkness at noonday, who wander in darkness and despair upon the earth as anciently? 27 For are ye not as precious unto me as they, saith the Lord? 28 Therefor if I the Lord God condescend to send thee an eyew itness as them of old , condemn him not, for if ye receive him whom I send , ye shall receive me also, and this according to m ine ap p ointment, which is after the Order of the Ancients, even Melchizedec of old. 47
THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST 29 For I the Lord God am the same, yesterday, today, and forever. 30 And if ye honor him and feed and clothe him, then ye have done it also unto me, saith the Lord. 31 For what king is not insu lted if he whom he hath sent w ith his message is sm itten and afflicted and scorned by them unto whom the message was sent? 32 And what king is there doth not send his armies to avenge his honour, saith the Lord? 33 Therefor, O man, in thy ignorance, beware how thou holdest the oracles of God! 34 For thus saith the Lord , many things which were plain and precious unto the understanding of man were removed from that Bible by the hand s of w icked m en whom I d id not move upon in that day which was the foundation of a great and abominable church, which is the whore of all the earth in the which many of the Gentiles, yea, an exceed ing great many do stumble and err upon the points of my doctrine which were plain in that day, saith the Lord. 35 For they imagine up unto themselves a God who it is that doth vary from that which I have said. 36 For did I the Lord God not say, one jot or one tittle shall in now ise pass from the law which I the Lord God did command that my servant as he is known among men, Moses, should write for the benefit of the children of men which is known as the Ten Commandments, which has been the foundation of all righteous government from that day unto this? 37 Yea what meanest thou, O man? 38 Can mercy rob justice? 39 I say unto you nay, but mercy claimeth the penitant only yea those only who truly humble themselves that they may receive forgiveness according to my mercy, yea that they, if they endure to the end, may receive more, yea, even
all things, and this accord ing to the atonement wrought out in that day by mine Only Begotten, even Jesus named the Christ. 40 And all who are obedient unto me through m ine anointed , even my servant, Art Bu lla, in whatsoever I the Lord their God shou ld inflict upon them, having proven them, that upon the resurrection they should return once more into my presence, having gained an experience, saith the Lord , that thereby hell is shaken by them forever, they will dwell with me, the Lord their God, and partake with me of eternal life, and shall d w ell w ith me forever, world s without end. 41 They shall receive of those things which are beyond the mind of man to comprehend in the greatness and m ight and glory and intelligence and power therof, for they speak and matter, doth it not shake and tremble and move at their command? 42 And thus may all work out their own salvation, even in these things, saith the Lord. 43 And unto my servant Art, I the Lord have seen of thy sacrifice and thy tears, and thou, even thou, shallt receive, w ith me, all that my Father hast. 44 And them who harden their hearts against these things shall perish, saith the Lord , for I the Lord thy God w h o am m ightier than they all, shall not be mocked. 45 For the w icked shall be destroyed by me, saith the Lord , and it shall be com p leted , even the consumption decreed , even in this generation, shall it come, saith the Lord , that there shall not be left one of them to stand against the wall.1 46 Therefor was he formed by my hand that I the Lord your God should give unto you another gift, for having given the children of men one gift, ye need not su p p ose that I the Lord your God cannot give unto men another, for he also is in the sim ilitu d e and very likeness of m ine Only Begotten, for he also was with me 48
SECTION 3. from the beginning and I have given that he should speak words, yea eternal words for the salvation of the children of men, as a second witness of me. 47 For out of the mouths of two or three witnesses shall every word be established , saith the Lord of the whole earth. 48 And thus may all become my sons, yea, even the Sons of God , by being obed ient unto the laws and ordinances which were established for the same also from before the foundation of the world. 49 For there was a vote taken according to the agency which I the Lord God did give unto those who were my sons and d aughters who were spirits before the world w as, which was according to the pattern of that which had been done upon other worlds which I the Lord God have caused that they also should be organized accord ing to the pattern which had gone on before, and which shall be forever. 50 And behold it came to pass that even as it has been on other world s, there arose a contention among those who were my offspring. 51 For behold m y children are they not spirits, saith the Lord God, even as thy children, O man, and O woman, are they not physical, yet my children, except for mine Only Begotten, are sp irits, even thy sp irit, O man, was it not begotten by me, even the Father thereof? 52 For the veins of my body, are they not filled with light and power greater than all the earth? 53 And thus it is that flesh and bloodd cannot inherit the kingdom of God , but flesh and bones, qu ickened by the power of the Priesthood, which is glory unspeakable, can, for I the Lord thy God, am I not a resurrected and glorified man, even as thou art able to become if thou art obedient unto that law which place the Gods on high, even Eloheim, saith the Lord? 54 And this is thy destiny and thy purpose, O
weak man in the flesh, and I Jesus of Nazereth desired to teach these things among the Jews, my friends, but they killed me before it was that I was able to explain these things unto them 2. 55 And thus, O man, beset by infirmities, thy destiny if thou art able to bear it, is to become one of the Gods on high, that ye may fulfill and obtain, even the crown, yea, for I love thee, my children below in the flesh, saith the Father, and desire that ye partake with me of my life which is unspeakable in the m ight and p ower, honor and glory thereof. 56 And it is , that ye might have a w itness among you of these things, that he beheld us in that day that we showed ourselves unto him and spake unto him from out of the heavens and said come up hither, that he may bear witness unto thee, according to power from us, that ye, by receiving him shall receive all things, that he beheld in that day that we showed ourselves unto him and spake with him face to face as Moses. 57 And all religions that are not after this order are false, saith the Lord God of might and terrible burnings. 58 And we will destroy thee, O man, if it be that ye do not worship us in spirit and truth, for are we not able, and shall we be mocked by them in the flesh, saith the Lord? 59 And accord ing to his Apostleship that ye by receiving him shall receive all things, might, power, principalities, heights, depths, yea, they, even they all shall be given unto thee, O man, if ye come unto me through him who was mighty and strong before the foundation of the world. 60 And it is the desire of the devil, who is a spirit, even the prince of darkness and d espair and death, that ye, O man and O woman, be kept even from these things, that ye partake w ith him of darkness and death and despair and hell, for he did rebel against us from before the foundation of the world even in these things, by thinking to abrogate the p lan which 49
THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST hath placed the Gods on high. 61 And he drew one third of all the sp irits w ith him out upon the earth upon which thou dwellest even at this time, saith the Lord God of Isaiah. 62 And the man is not without the woman in the Lord, even in everlasting burnings, yea the might and power of my glory, shall she be with him forever, and they too shall have children which are spirits upon other earths which shall be formed by the might, even of their power. 63 And thus is my work and my glory continued, that I the greatest of all shall be glorified by my children, that I may deliver up my kingdom unto my Father and his Father who art with me. 64 And are we not one unto thee O man? 65 For thou shallt be one of us if thou art obedient unto us through him whom we have sent and authorized by the power of the Priesthood , yea that power which is unspeakable by which seas have been split and armies p u t at bay, that he may teach by the revelations of Jesus Christ, of the one true way, even from us. 66 And it is necessary that each man have more than one woman, that they bear the souls of men that the works of my Father be continued. 67 And this is the law which placed even the Gods on high, and is this not a most holy principle, saith theLord?b 68 For this was the law that Abraham and Sarah obeyed and covenanted with me that the seed should become as numerous as the sand s u p on the seashore for the numbers thereof or the stars at night. 69 And Abraham, doth he not even now continue these works, for was he not resurrected at the resurrection of mine Only Begotten Son, even Jesus of Nazereth, and is he not a God in the might and glory of my power, saith the Lord?
70 And it is my will that mine anointed receive unto himself them which shall be given unto him that he also partake w ith us of these things which are beyond the mind of man to comprehend , even forever and ever, worlds without end shall they continue and multip ly, even as the stars at night, saith the Lord s, and these, are they not the works of Abraham, saith the Lord? 71 And all who receive not these things which are written, saith the Lord , shall be destroyed by us body and sou l in hell, for we will preserve our freedom even in these things, by marvelous power to the com p lete destru ction of man upon the earth, who is our enemy, except he should repent and become like unto us, for have we not the power, saith the Lord God? 72 Even so, judge ye and see, saith the Lord, for thy generation is the one that shall be destroyed by us and w e rejoice in it,for they that come,shall they not burn thee, O man? 73 And there is nothing that can stop even one of my little ones, who be warriors, fu ll of vengeance and the fury of the Lord of Hosts in that day which shall burn as an oven, and all the w icked , shall they not be destroyed by us, saith the Lord, and this even if all perish, as by fire? 3 74 And as I said , there arose a contention among those who were mine offspring,for I the Lord God am the Father of thy sp irit, O man, who dwelleth below in the flesh, for thou hast also been w ith me, even my children whom I love, saith the Father, from the beginning. 75 And there arose one who was in authority who was my son also, who also was also a son of the morning, in that he was placed in authority, being one of my firstborn, and he asp ired for that which was not right, and he would ascend above the throne of my power, and would that he should take upon himself the glory. 50
SECTION 3. 76 Therefore it was caused that he and one third of all my sons who were spirits, who were with me from the beginning should be cast out. 77 For they, even they, accord ing to the agency which I the Lord God did give unto them, staged rebellion in their wickedness, and thus they were forbidden that they should come in possession of mortal tabernacles or bod ies, u p on the earth upon which thou and thy fellows dwell. 78 And thus they make war upon the Saints and encompass them round about and they intend that the plan which was right before me, saith the Father, should be abrogated, yea even that plan which was voted u p on by the remaining two thirds who were not cast out. 79 And this is the cause of all thy misery and wo upon the earth, for the war hath it not been transferred to the earth? 80 And all m u st take sides, for there is no m id d le ground, saith the Lord , even between good and evil and all, are they not enlisted , either on one side or the other, saith the Lord? 81 And a man's enemies shall be them of his own household because of the word, for I am not come to bring peace, but a sword, and father shall be against son, and m other against daughter, even in these things, saith the Lord. 82 And those who are overcome by the devil and his angels even in the rejection, even of these things, shall they not su ffer with him in that lake of fire, for he hath no power, saith the Lord , except to tempt thee that ye may be proven, and this only for a season, saith the Lord? 83 And he knoweth these things, therefor he is angry and d esperate, for his time is short u p on the earth, and therefor he doubleth his efforts against thee, O man and O woman, and wo unto the disobed ient, for they shall not escape! 84 Yea, even those sons of perdition, shall they not suffer the second death with the devil
and his angels, saith the Lord? 85 And the height and the depth of their misery no man knoweth, neither is is it revealed except unto them who are made partakers thereof. 86 And this cometh upon all in this generation, saith the Lord , who endure not to the end , and receive my gosple, for have they not denied the Holy Ghost, even in these things, saith the Lord? 87 And thus, for thy sins and thy rebellion against me, O man, ye shall die, even a second time, if ye deny the Holy Ghost, which sin is unpardonable 4. 88 And the devil hath form as thee, O man, though ye cannot see him w ith thy physical senses, yet he interacts w ith thy physical body to cause pain and death. 89 For power is given him for a space to tempt thee, O man, that ye might be tried, to see if ye are able to d iscern between that which hath a lasting value, or that which hath no eternal substance, which is transient, being of no worth, saith the Lord God. 90 And I have decreed that all men should be agents unto themselves, therefor it is given unto them that they should know good from evil, that they may choose, whether to be enticed by that evil one, or that they should be enticed by my Spirit, saith the Lord, to do good both unto; themselves by being obedient unto the laws and ordinances of my gosple, and unto others by teaching them of these things. 91 For true science and true religion, are they not the same things, O man? 92 For I the Lord God am the author of all truth, which cometh from me. 93 And there is not one among the children of men, nay, not one, that doeth good at all, save that he shall work according to the gift and power of God for the salvation of the children of men from the grasp of the devil and his angels which exceed in number over twenty51
THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST thousand millions. 94 For the warfare which began before the world was, hath it not been even transferred to the earth that ye be deceived if thou art not honest with thyself,O man, and with thy fellow man, and this as to the p lan of salvation voted upon by you in that day, before the world was made, saith the Lord? 95 And this, O man, is the cause of thy pain and thy discomfort which doth afflict thee night and day, which pain is small in comparison w ith that which the who deny my power will suffer in eternity if they w ill not repent and come unto me, yea, even the Father of heaven and earth, and be obed ient unto me through him whom I have appointed, and that true gosp le which I have caused that it once more 99 For I w ill not be mocked , yea, even in these things hath he deceived thee and w ith false science, even evolution, O man. 100 And these are the first princip les and ord inances of my gosple which plan was instituted by them who were spirits in the council of the Gods, which had been done upon other worlds, and voted u p on by the majority: faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and that One Mighty and Strong, also, for he also is my witness, saith the Father. 101 Repentance, which is forsaking thy false teachers, baptism for a remission of sins by immersionby mine authority which is after the Order of Aaron, which authority my son John,otherwise known as the Baptist held , and the laying on of the hand s for the Gift of the Holy Ghost which is my Sp irit, by m ine authority, which is w ithout beginning of days nor end of years, which is after the Order of Melchizedec, which is after the Order of Enoch, which is after the Order of the Son of God , which authority was held by mine Apostles, Peter, James and John, and the keys of which are held at this time, by my servant Art Bulla. 102 And by obed ience to these ord inances
shou ld be preached among you in that simplicity and plainess of God , in which it is impossible to err. 96 And any other which cometh unto you with any other gosple is verily not of me, saith the Father. 97 For the evil one is the father of lies and is angry and desperate, and desireth thy destruction that ye may partake with him of his misery. 98 And by the false doctrines taught in the churches and synagogues by the pious among men, he hath deceived the whole world , for their gosp le hath not power as them of old , even Peter, James and John and Art Bu lla, for thy salvation O man, and the whole world lieth and groaneth in sin and d eath and eternal destru ction which hangeth over thee, O man. and revelations the children of men do the will of the Father and enter into the kingdom of God on the earth. 103 Thus and only thus are men born again, and any other doctrine which is taught even though he be an angel of light or one of the ministers of thy day, even as Billy Graham , or an Apollos, or a Spencer Kimball, or the pope is false, for the devil transformeth himself and his m inisters into angels of light, though his m inisters know it not, they are not guiltless before me. 104 For if they were honest they would admit they have not received from m e one single thing, but speak according to their trad ition or according to their opinion, saith the Lord which is not authority. 105 And thereby the devil thinketh to abrogate the plan of salvation voted upon from before the foundation of the world , and only a true prophet, seer, and Revelator of the sons of Jacob have intelligence and might and power to detect through the med ium of the Priesthood and rebuke the devil in his machinations and deceivings. 106 And the devil teacheth that these 52
THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST prophets are deluded and are the basest of men. 107 Thus the Prophets of the Holy One of Israel are they not cast out from thy habitations, O man and O woman, that ye cru cify them in thy ignorance, before me, saith the Lord God of Israel? 108 For these Prophets were mighty from before the foundation of the world in true science and intelligence, for is the glory of God not intelligence, saith the Lord? 109 And the classes of astronomy and music and mathematics, were they not taught from before the foundation of the world , for the spirits were arranged in classes and grades and teachers, were they not appointed over them, even my sons Mosiah and Levi Hancock, were they not overseers appointed by the Gods, even the council thereof. 110 And was not Jesus of Nazereth and that One Mighty and Strong, were they not the greatest of the sons of God , even in serenity and light and knowledge and intelligence from before the foundation of the world? 111 And that One Mighty and Strong, he also stood w ith the Father who presided in might over them all and laughed and approved of us in our endeavors and our friendships and our loves. 112 And Moses and Aaron, and Elijah, Jesus, Melchizedec, Brigham Young, Joseph the Seer, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, were they not with us, O man, in the councils of the heavens, and there wast no disharmony, nor jarrings, but each was obedient unto our Father in that day. 113 Even so, should it be here, but for the devil whom each hath wrestled in the day appointed unto him , that each should come forth and d o battle in the name of the Father and his Sons, and the Holy Ghost, that having proved themselves, they might take their places with the sons of God on high, even Eloheim. 114 And now, thus saith the Lord , all things were created spiritually before they were tem-
porally. 115 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew was created in the sp irit, yea even the earth upon which thou standest had its creation before element combined with matter, saith the Lord God, for the foundation of all matter is spiritual, saith the Lord God. 116 And that sp irit which is in man which was with me from the beginning which separateth from the temporal body upon the death thereof, goeth to dwell with other spirits who also move and have their beings, and d o not d ie but go to the sp irit of the earth u p on which thou standest to await the resurrection, for the resurrection cometh to all men and women except them who cannot repent, even sons of perdition. 117 And they await the resurrection of the just or the unjust, accord ing to the deeds done in the body, saith the Lord God of Israel, my chosen. 118 And the sp irits of all men and women were arranged in races and grades according to intelligence from before the foundation of the world and according to their performance in that war fought in heaven. 119 Yea there was a race of men cursed to be a servant of servants 5 from before the foundation of the world , for lack of valiance and bravery in that war in heaven, and this is the curse of Cain the first murderer and this curse wast it not preserved through that which is known as the flood through Ham? 120 And the greatest in the kingdom of heaven must be the least and the servant of all, saith the Lord , hence the ord inance of the washing of the feet hath also been done on other world s, that the greatest m ight be in all and above all and through all, the light of truth, saith the Lord God. 121 And these spirits that await the resurrec53
SECTION 3. tion, if they have been obedient unto mine ordinances which are ad m inistered after the Order of Melchizedec, and come out of Babylon which is fallen, and partake of the United Order, they shall have Eternal Life which is the greatest of the gifts of the Gods saith the Lord of Hosts. 122 For Endless is my name and Eternal is my name also, for they shall be my sons and m y daughters and dwell w ith me forever world s without end and partake with me of such glory, might and intelligence and power that the heart of man is unable to conceive of the greatness thereof, saith the Lord. 123 And he who esteemeth these things which I have caused to be written as a thing of naught shall be cast into that hell which is a lake of fire and brimstone from which there is no deliverance, saith the Lord, for I shall not be mocked. 124 And now as I said concerning the earth upon which thou standest, behold thus saith the Lord , it fu lfilleth the measure of its creation, and I have made it to answer the end s of the law, for have I not caused it to be baptized by immersion thereof that it too m ight become cleansed from all sin, in that day which I d id speak from out of the heavens unto my servant Noah? 125 And thus saith the Lord it too shall be baptized with fireand the Holy Ghost in the day not too far d istant in the which it shall be cleansed from iniquity. 126 And this thou m u st do also, O man, if thou art to receive of thine inheritance upon the earth, for it is that thou m u st keep the Law of the Celestial Kingdom as the earth upon which thou standest, saith the Lord God of Israel. 127 For this is the law and hast it not been done also on other world s too nu m erous to count, and have the wicked not also perished from off of them also, saith the Lord? 128 Thus they who are saved from each earth, do they not associate and rejoice together for
they who were few , now are many, yea too numerous to be counted by man in his finite understanding? 129 And they are God s, for they descended below all things while in the flesh, and have proven themselves worthy of my glory, saith the Lord God of Art Bulla. 130 And the earth becometh a body celestial, for it too shall die. 131 Nevertheless it shall be resurrected to receive of its fullness and that according my law, saith the Lord , in the which it shall become a sea of glass and fire, even an Urim and a Thummim 6 u p on which they who are bod ies celestial shall inhabit it forever and ever, and they shall have access to kingdoms which are of a higher order yet, as well as those which are of a lower. 132 For did I not cause it to be written by the hand of my servant Paul that there are bod ies also terrestrial 7and also telestial for did not my servant Paul behold these things in the which I the Lord God did remove him from his body that he was also able to behold the workmanship of m ine hand s, saith the Lord God? 133 For their boundaries are set, for where I am they cannot come worlds without end. 134 For they received not my law when I did call unto them from out of the heavens, and they denied NOT the Holy Ghost, as ye of this generation have done if it be that ye reject these things, saith the Lord, for they were not of thy generation who are saved , saith the Lord , for the earth at that time was not filled w ith the anti-Christ. 135 And it is for thy sloth, O com m on man and woman that ye have allowed these things to come among you that ye shall also suffer the second death, if ye repent not, for ye, even ye have allowed yourselves to become corrupted by these anti-Christs even Meade and Freu d and Jung and Korihor which they did not do. 54
THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST 136 And them who are saved cannot be enlarged , but must remain in their saved state, separate and single, as they are for eternity to eternity, and is this not damnation? 137 Nevertheless they are in their saved state, though they be not as the sun in the glory and m ight which proceedeth from their bod ies by which glory they are qu ickened u p on the resurrection, for flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of my Heavenly Father, but flesh and bones quickened by spirit, which is light, can, but are some of the moon and some of the stars. 138 And the vision of the telestial and the inhabitants thereof were as numerous as the sands upon the seashore, or as the stars of the sky at night. 139 And the vision of the telestial is that as one star d iffereth from another in the glory thereof, even so is the resurrection of the telestial. 140 And the man is forever segregated from the woman and the woman from the man in the telestial. 141 For they abused their association, therefor they have not power from me, the Lord their God to associate forever. 142 And if a man or woman will not agree to these conditions, then it is that they, even they shall not be resurrected, but shall suffer the second d eath w ith the devil and his angels, for m ine anger is it not kindeled against the inhabitants of the whole earth in their iniqu ity before me, saith the Lord? 143 And thus is there weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. 144 And in the terrestrial, the man and woman associate, for these are the honorable men and women of the earth who were blinded by the cunning craftiness of men who lie in wait to deceive, although there is no union which is called sexual, but this only in the Celestial Kingdom, saith the Lord. 55
145 And there are laws which govern the telestial as also the terrestrial and the celestial, for in my Father's house there are many mansions. 146 And there is one glory of the sun and another glory of the moon, and another of the stars. 147 For all these are bod ies, yea, even in the resurrection, and do they not d iffer in eternal glory which proceedeth from their bodies, even as there are different races of men in the flesh, O man, and thus do the races of men differ, for the House of Israel is it not the most intelligent, saith the Lord? 148 For they are even as the sun in the glory thereof, even Shem who is Melchizedec and his descendants, and the gentiles, even Japeth, one of the other sons of Noah, from whom the Gentile nations are descended, are they not as the moon in the glory thereof, and the negro, the African tribes or nations, who are descended from Ham, the third of the sons of Noah, are they not as the stars in intelligence and glory? 149 And thus the races of men are more marked ly delineated forever and ever in the resurrection, for the bod ies in the resurrection which are Celestial are as the sun in brilliance. 150 And all things flee from their glory unless quickened by them. 151 And the glory of the telestial is beyond imagination. 152 And thus my ju d gment from before the foundation of the world is wrought out upon the inhabitants of the earth, and all exclaim, thy ju d gments are just, O Lord , and every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is the Christ, and that Art Bu lla is that One Mighty and Strong, for all power on earth and in heaven hath been given him also, saith the Father. 153 For he is my secon d w itness, for out of the mouths of two witnesses shall every word
SECTION 3. be established , and they shall see and know at that day when it is that they bow the knee. 154 And the children of men shall not be resurrected unless it is by his permission, saith the Lord. 155 And he shall ru le over these kingdoms forever and ever for they are his dominions which I the Father have given into his hand s and they shall be his servants. 156 And the rest of the spirits of men, they go away to reign with the devil and his angels and are devoured by him forever, for they, were they meet for a kingdom of glory? 157 And thus the meek shall inherit the earth, for the meek they, even they are resurrected to possess it, and the devil hath no power, and thus they who be with him possess nothing. 158 For they have no bod ies, and this is his punishment, saith the Lord, for death is his end and they are cast into outer darkness along with many of this generation, saith the Lord, if they repent not and believe that I have sent another unto them even as them of old. 159 And there are missionaries even now in the world of sp irits preparing the sons of men for the resurrection. 160 For these have not denied the Holy Ghost which attitu d e if fashionable among this generation, saith the Lord. 161 And the height and depth of the suffering of them who deny the Holy Ghost no man knoweth save he shall be made a partaker thereof, for it doth require millenia for the spirit to d ie and be ground back down to its native element from which it was begotten, and this by the devil and his angels who are mighty to the destruction of men, and they are without hope having cru cified m ine Only Begotten unto themselves afresh. 162 And this fate cometh upon all of this generation who receive not my gosple, whether it be Billy Graham, or the Pope, saith the Lord, for they were given much, and where much is
given much also is required, even obedience to m ine anointed and diligence in keep ing his commandments which I the Lord shall give him. 163 And the rest of the vision of the resurrection of the dead is contained within that volume of scripture which I the Lord God did grant unto the people of that generation through the mouth of my servant Joseph Smith, who is even now with me, saith the Lord, in the might of my power as a witness against that generation who killed him in that day, that the foundation of Zion should even be laid. 164 Therefor cease ye from man whose breath is in his nostrils, saith the Lord. 165 And as respecting that theory concerning the ori gin of man upon the earth in the which he is said to have sprung from orders that are called lower, behold , it is false and co meth from that Evil One who goeth up and down intheearth blinding the hearts of the children of men, in the which they raise their head s in w ickedness before me, and d eny the Holy Ghost and the Creator that made them. 166 Thus they become devils forever and ever, saith the Lord, and suffer the wrath of the Lord in eternity and are cast into that lake of fire, and their worm dieth not but they are consumed. 167 And the common man and woman is not guiltless before me in these things, saith the Lord , for in their sloth they have allowed themselves to be deceived, even in these things and by false religions. 168 And now concerning the earth u p on which thou standest, the revolutions thereof are fixed, yea as also the stars and the planets; all move in their times and their seasons appointed unto them, for I am the Lord thy God and by my power have I created them. 169 And all these are kingdoms and must abide the law unto which they were appointed, yea as even the earth upon which thou standest, 56
THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST and as there are laws which govern the planets there are also laws unto which I have appointed to govern the sp irits or sou ls of men and all who abide my law shall have glory added upon their heads forever and ever; 170 For it is by my law, that all who are governed thereby are preserved and sanctified, for without law, there can be no order, and without order all things must remain in confusion and a state of chaos, which thing is d isp leasing unto me, saith the Lord. 171 Yet all intelligence if free to act within the boundaries of the sphere ap p ointed unto it, saith the Lord of all creation, that all may fill the measure of their creation, that all may have joy therein. 172 And it is my desire that that order which existed among all things in the sp irit, saith the Lord , yea even before the world w as created should be done temporally according to my will and commandments which I dispense unto the children of men through the med ium of mine appointment which is after the Order of Melchizedec, saith the Lord God of Israel. 173 And thus is the foundation of all righteous government which cometh from me, saith the Lord. 174 And it is now my will, saith the Lord God of Israel, that all other governments among men which are not of me, but are after the Order of that Evil One or of man should become done away among you, that I may organize you according to the intelligence of m ine anointed , who is m ine ad m inistrator, saith the Lord , according to that pattern which was established before the world was; 175 That the pain and suffering and lack of fulfillment which doth exist to su ch a marked degree even now among you be done away,
and that I the Lord thy God should take up my abode upon the earth which thou standest; 176 That thereby the earth may fulfill the measure of its creation, for unto this end was it appointed that it m ight become the d w elling place of the sons and daughters of God. 177 And the w icked and disobed ient will I destroy, saith the Lord, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch in that day which not far d istant which shall burn as an oven, as I spake through the mouth of my servant Malachi. 178 Even so. Amen.

SECTION 4. PRIESTHOOD AND CHURCH GOVERNMENT
Revelation on Priesthood and Government. Organization of presiding bodies of the Church as it existed in the days of the Twelve Apostles. Mainly given to those who are not Latter-Day- Saints that they too might repent of their depravity and thereby come to a unity of the faith as spoken by the Apostle Paul in his letter to the Ephesians, Chapter four. Prophecy concerning the thousand years of peace. Received November 8, 1980.
hus saith the Lord unto all who ask in all d iligence and humility before me concerning the stru cture and organization of the Church which beareth my name, saith the Lord God of Israel, even Jesus of Nazareth whom ye have hitherto not known. 2 Even so will I given unto you knowledge concerning these things: 3 For I the Lord God did move upon my servant as he is known among men, Paul, who was and is m ine Apostle, for this ord ination I d id confirm upon him in the day of his conversion by the hands of my servant as he is known among men, Peter, who was appointed to be the chief among those who were mine Apostles, and w h o it was that he shou ld become my spokesman, or the man unto whom I the Lord God did appoint that he should be the man through whom I the Lord God should speak for the benefit of the children of men who comprised my church as it was then upon the earth. 4 And for this cause were they, the Twelve, given, that man whom I have created should be no more tossed to and fro, carried about by
every wind of doctrine, for I did give unto them who were mine Apostles the keys of these things, even that they had p ower that they cou ld proclaim against any sp irit or influence which was not of me and that they could by the power of my spirit which I the Lord God did give unto them discern any doctrine which shou ld be introd u ced by the devil and his angels as false, even if they should appear even as angels of light unto them, which thing did occur at that time, which thing is not recorded in the Bible, saith the Lord 5 And thus the Saints, as the members which comprised the body of my Church were called, saith the Lord, had a sure defense or foundation in matters spiritual, upon which the rest of the structure, or organization of my Church, being compared as it were unto a build ing cou ld be built. 6 And the rest of the officers which formed the various quorums were derived from or were parts or ramifications of that office of the Apostleship, which formed a presiding quorum or body and formed a court of last resort in matters spiritual, saith the Lord. 7 And it is that my servant, Art Bu lla, doth hold the keys of this authority or Apostleship in 58
THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST this day, saith the Lord. 8 For my house is a house of order, saith the Lord , and not confusion, that all things were done in order and every question on matter of doctrine were decided in order and every man d id not speak at once, but each was in strict obedience in all gravity and patience before me, saith the Lord, that the Spirit of the Most High was not grieved thereby but did rest upon them in mighty power, saith the Lord, that they, even they had power to move, even the cause of my Kingdom upon the earth forward, against all opposition in mighty power, that none it was cou ld stand in their presence, except they be filled with light and fire from above, and were quickened by me. 9 And these things accord ing to the order which belongeth to the Priesthood of the Son of the living God and is the channel through which I, the Lord God did operate and the agency through which the children of men had their salvation, both tem p orally and spiritually secured, even forever. 10 And all other officers had their callings or conferral of authority springing from the Twelve Apostles, which Twelve formed a quorum of the body of my Priesthood, saith the Lord. 11 And thus was the body of Christ organized that all stood in the office unto which he was appointed and learned the d u ties thereof, and acted therein according to the d irection of my spirit, saith the Lord. 12 For all were entitled to receive revelation from me according as the demands of his steward ship should be, which stewardship, I required an accounting of all, which accounting was made unto those who were appointed by me to receive these things, from the least unto the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 13 All callings were made according as was made manifest by my Sp irit, saith the Lord , after the prayer of faith, by those ordained and
appointed unto this power and none else had this authority. 14 And now thus saith the Lord, there are two grand heads or divisions within the structure of my Priesthood , saith the Lord , from which all other callings or ord inations were made, yea, even the office of Priest, Teacher, Deacon, Patriarch, Elder, Bishop, Apostle, and others which the world in its wisdom knoweth not of, saith the Lord. 15 The first and greatest is that which pertaineth unto the Priesthood after the Order of Melchizedec, which is the governing and ruling power in all things Sp iritual and the second is the Aaronic or Lesser Priesthood which holdeth the keys of the outward ordinances, the law , the gospel of repentance, the ad m inistration of angels, and the tem p oral need s and w elfare of the Saints of the Most High God. 16 The Aaronic or Levitical Priesthood is encompassed within the greater or Melchizedec Priesthood, saith the Lord , and is accountable unto it. 17 Nevertheless, all intelligence is free according to the agency which I the Lord God have given it to act in the sphere unto which it is ap p ointed , saith the Lord , for I the Lord thy God am greater than they all and hold all things in mine hand by the might of my power and appoint unto all accord ing as I see that they should have. 18 And it is that I have ap p ointed that the Bishop is that office and calling which holdeth the Presidency of the Aaronic or Levitical Priesthood, and all callings or ord inations are made through him which pertain unto the Aaronic Priesthood. 19 And my Bishop, saith the Lord, will fill with power and wisdom and might, that at his step the earth shall shake, and ju d gment will I the Lord give him that he should be even as Solomon of old, for he shall be a judge in Israel 59
SECTION 4. and he shall ju d ge righteous ju d gment and shall establish order and shall be called the Father of the flock and all shall hearken unto his words, for they shall be full of judgment and wisdom for the government of my Saints, saith the Lord, that all may know that I am the Lord his God and govern in righteousness and truth for the benefit of them calling themselves after my name, saith the Lord. 20 And he shall be the President of the Quorum of Priests, which shall be under his direction and government unto whom he shall delegate the d u ties and responsibilities of the Administration of the Sacrament of the Lord ’s Supper, that all may remember the atonement which I the Lord God wrought out in the which my flesh and blood was given as food for them which did partake thereof, that they might be forgiven, that they might receive of my Sp irit, saith the Lord. 21 And no man taketh this honor unto himself except he is called and ordained as was Timothy who was called by one of the Twelve Apostles of the Lamb, even Paul. 22 And no man taketh the honor of the Apostleship unto himself except he is called and ordained as was Paul and Brigham Young, m ine Apostles who were called and ordained under the hands of him who holdeth the keys of these things, even Peter and Joseph Smith, even at this present time. 23 And thus is my will which is done in heaven, even at this present time under my direction, saith the Lord , the Only Begotten of the Father, even Jesus Christ, and thus shall it 23.0.1 also be done upon the earth, and m y kingdom come on earth, even as it is now in heaven, even as I prayed unto my Father while in the flesh among the Jews, even that it should come. 24 For it is the will of the Father that the order which doth exist in heaven, that it shou ld also be upon the earth, that the devil and his angels
may be rebuked and his power over the earth be broken, a n d that the earthly Priesthood shou ld con form in its pattern unto the heavenly, that the w ill of the Father shou ld be done on earth even as it is in heaven, and thus them that are in heaven shall descend and take up their abode upon the earth and the earth shall be redeemed from the fall, and shall become a paradise, yea, as the Garden of Eden shall it become, saith the Lord , for I the Lord cu r sed it that it shou ld bear thorns a n d t h istles, an d thus will I the Lord r emove the cu r se therefrom and the lamb shall lie d o w n w ith the lion a n d Satan shall be bou n d for a thousand years. 25 For at my power all th ings move and have their beings, saith the Lord God of Israel, even Jesus Christ, and I shall reign w ith the Saints of the Most H igh, and eat and d r ink w ith them and laugh and make merry, a n d w e shall ru le the nations w ith a rod , for at my word all th ings shall be done, for the elements are controlled a n d h a n d led u p on p r incip les w h ich are spiritu a l, w h ich is accord ing to the Oath and Covenant of the Melchizedec Priesthood. 26 Even so, it is enough for now . 27 I the Lord your God, even Jesus have spoken it. For ye are m y frien d s, for I have heard your prayers which w ere prayed in faith, and this p r o m ise I give unto you, that your hearts may be com forted a n d I rebu k e all fear w h ich is of the evil one, and I shall receive you unto myself. 28 Therefor be of good cheer, for the w o r d s w h ich I have caused that they should be w r itten shall all be fu lfilled . 29 Yea, thus saith the Lord , your hearts are tender and easily broken and are soft, w h ich thing is a sweet savor unto us. 30 Even so. Amen. 1. II Corinthians 11: 14-15 60
THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST
SECTION 5.
REVELATION ON PRIESTHOOD
Revelation on Melchizedec and history of Salem. Abraham associated with inhabitants of City of Salem. Jerusalem taketh its name from Salem. Translation of Salem in which inhabitants never tasted of death, and were removed physically from off earth as was Elijah and {enoch. Location of Ark of Noah specified to this day. Ordination of Melchizedec, prophecy of return of Jesus to Mount of Olives. Received February, 1981
erily thus saith the Lord unto my servant, behold it is I the Lord thy God that doth speak unto thee through the medium of m ine ap p ointment, which is after the Order of Melchizedec, and behold, there is no heart that shall not be penetrated , for this purpose wast he formed even by my hand, saith the Lord , that all who hear might have means for their escape from that which I the Lord thy God shall send d own upon the inhabitants of the earth w ithout let, that the consumption shall even be fu lfilled , in the which all nations that fight against my word and my law shall have an end: 2 Yea, even those nations which now comprise Europe, as it is known among men, and those which now dwell in their wickedness upon this the American continent, which nations are the nations of the Gentiles w ith whom are sprinkled , yea, the blood of Ephraim, my chosen.
3 And m y son, thou shallt receive of thine inheritance w ith the tribe of Ephraim, if thou art obed ient unto me, and that true Order which I have once again established among the children of men, for the government thereof, which Order was magnified by my servant Melchizedec, of whom there is much to be said. 4 And because of the interpolations of men, this is not had among the Gentiles, for behold it is his Priesthood which is without beginning of days nor end of years, saith the Lord , for he wast a man created in mine own image, and his Father after the flesh was my servant Noah, saith the Lord. 5 For it was that Shem is an H igh Priest ordained unto mine Order under the hands of the Fathers, yea even before the flood w ast he ordained, and because of the interpolations of men, the Gentiles stumble u p on this point of my doctrine, which was plain and precious unto the understanding of men in that day as it was taught unto the Church by mine ancient Apostles and Prophets, even Pau l and others, saith the Lord God. 6 And the Gentiles also stumble u p on other 61
SECTION 6. points of my doctrine, and they shall drink damnation unto their sou ls if they turn not away from their false teachers whom I the Lord God have not called and who are not of me. 7 And before his day, even that of Melchizedec, the Priesthood was called even the Holy Priesthood after the Order of the Son of God, and this was done by the Church in ancient days, to avoid too frequent repetition of the name of the Supreme Being, thus it became known as the Melchizedec Priesthood, because he was such a great H igh Priest, yea before him , saith the Lord, there was none greater. 8 For he, when he was eight years of age, stop p ed the mouths of lions, and d id quench the violence of fire and he preached righteousness unto the inhabitants round about and they did repent and d id build , yea even Salem , which meaneth Peace in the Hebrew tongue to this day. 9 And thus he became the Prince of Peace and behold the righteousness of the people became exceedingly great, for they did hearken unto the words of Melchizedec, and they, even they, did attain unto the righteousness of the City of Enoch, even Zion, as before the flood—for Melchizedec did preach unto the inhabitants round about many years after the Ark came to rest upon Mount Arrarat, upon which mount it resteth to this day, saith the Lord , being preserved by the ice and snow—which Zion, saith the Lord , was built by Enoch and his brethren upon this the American continent. 10 And Enoch was the great-grand father of Noah, after the flesh. 11 And Zion was bu ilt before the flood , saith the Lord. 12 And behold the City of Salem wast also taken up into heaven, that the inhabitants thereof were also translated that they should not taste of death, even as that of Elijah, saith the Lord God of Israel.
13 And behold, saith the Lord, I am the same, yesterday, today, and forever, that ye shall not taste of death also, saith the Lord , and this promise is unto all who work righteousness as did Enoch and his brethren. 14 For the wages of sin is death, saith the Lord God of Enoch. 15 And thus saith the Lord, the City of Salem, shall again descend and take up its abode upon the earth and shall meet the New Jerusalem which shall be built up from beneath. 16 For the City of Jerusalem, which was built by the hand of my servant David , saith the Lord, taketh its name from Salem, it being built u p on the same Mount, even Moriah by my servant David w h o did when a boy slay Goliath. 17 And it was upon this Mount that Abraham did offer his only begotten son, even Isaac, in similitude of the sacrifice of the Only Begotten of the Father of heaven and earth, even the Lamb of God. 18 And Abraham did work righteousness, and d id obtain the keys of the Priesthood , that the Holy Order of God should remain among men after the translation of Salem, that through him Israel should be born. 19 And Abraham did obtain the promise that through his Priesthood , all the nations of the earth should be blessed. 20 And whoso is faithful unto the obtaining of the Priesthood is accounted as the seed of Abraham, saith the Lord , and that through his seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed. 21 And it is that Zion in this the latter day hath the right of Priesthood, for it is theirs by lineage and by right, saith the Lord God of For Ephraim, the son of Joseph, d id obtain the birthright from Israel or Jacob, my chosen. 22 And Ephraim it is that hath been, saith the Lord , scattered among the nations which now comprise Europe and North America, in fulfillment of the promise which I the Lord God did 62
THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST make unto Abraham, that his seed shou ld sprinkle many nations. 23 And the rebellious are not of the blood of Ephraim, saith the Lord God of Shem. 24 And thus it is that the boundaries and the habitations of men were determined in the heavens before the world was made. 25 And Abraham, as I said , d id associate and m ingle w ith the people of the City of Salem , and did receive of his endowments in the Temple of the Most High God which had been built even upon the top of Mount Moriah. 26 And verily thus saith the Lord , another Temple shall be built by my people the Jews as that of Solomon, upon the same spot, even Moriah, and the Ord inances thereof and the Priesthood thereof, which is after the Order of Melchizedec, shall be restored , saith the Lord , by mine Only Begotten Son, when it is that his feet shall tou ch the Mount of Olives, saith the Lord, it shall split asunder and the ground shall shake in the awful power of the Son of God! 27 And this Priesthood and the Ordinances of Salvation were lost in that day by reason of transgression, and behold , Jesus is the God of Israel, even Judah and for this purpose was he sent as a sacrifice for my people Israel, and none else, saith the Lord God of Israel. 28 But behold after the transgression of the Jews in the which they did reject Mine Only Begotten Son, I the Lord did seek unto another people, even the Gentiles, for behold Paul wast an Apostle unto the Gentiles, that they being the w ild branches shou ld be grafted even into the roots of the tame Olive Tree, even the House of Israel; Ephraim, already being scattered at this time, saith the Lord. 29 But behold the wild branches did overcome the roots thereof that the fru it thereof was not p leasing unto me, and thus the whole tree is ready to be cut down and burned, saith the Lord God of Israel.
30 For the strength of the roots was not sufficient in the strength thereof for the support of the branches, which are w ild , even the Gentiles, saith the Lord. 31 For it was a requ irement that they should enter into the Covenant which I the Lord God did make with Abraham by way of baptism by immersion, which ordinance belongeth unto the Priesthood. 32 But because of their lack of know ledge before me, saith the Lord , they had no root in themselves and d id break mine Everlasting Covenant and did transgress my laws, and they were overcome of the world. 33 And thus there arose a Great and Abominable Church, they having changed the laws and broken my Covenant, which was seen by my servant John in the Book of Revelations, as the whore of all the earth and Mother of Harlots, even the Sects or Denom inations thereof. 34 And this is known as the Great Apostasy, saith the Lord, for the Priesthood which is after the Order of Melchizedec, was withdrawn from the earth, upon the death or translation of mine Apostles, saith the Lord. 35 For John, my beloved, saith the Lord , was translated also that they could not kill him. 36 But those others of mine Apostles were put to death by the wicked of the children of men, for they were hated of all nations, as it is now,saith the Lord. 37 For ye, O ye stiffnecked and perverse generation do even now as did the Jews, garnish the sep u lchers of the prophets, and praise their names, and say that if ye had lived in the days of the Prophets and Apostles, that ye would not have partaken w ith that generation of the innocent blood. 38 For there is also one stand ing now among you and he is also hated of you for my names sake, saith the Lord God of Israel. 39 And this is because of the ignorance and 63
SECTION 6. wickedness of the children of men, in all ages of the world, in the which they bite even the very hand which reacheth forth to feed them, saith the Lord God! 40 Therefor see that which hath been brought upon others in their time, come not also upon you, O Israel. 41 And thus it was that the Bishop of Rome became apostate after the death of mine Apostles. 42 For, saith the Lord , there is not one who hath authority to ordain a Bishop, except he be an Apostle, saith the Lord God. 43 And the Apostles were taken, either by death or by translation, and the mother of Harlots, the whore of the earth was born, ruled by the Prince thereof, even the devil, in the which the blood of the Saints, even now cry up from the ground against it, saith the Lord , for they d id slay them and persecute them also from the earth. 44 And thus ensued the dark or mid d le ages, as they are known among men, for I the Lord God did withdraw my spirit which giveth light and knowledge unto the children of men, from off the earth, saith the Lord. 45 And the Harlots, verily are the various creeds and denominations of what is known as Christianity among them. 46 And thus do they flatter themselves, for it is when that they shall come into the presence of m ine anointed to be evaluated and ju d ged according to the books that have been written, saith the Lord , that they shall be damned and cut off, yea worlds without end shall they be, if they do not humble themselves and inquire for themselves of me concerning these and other things which verily are true, saith the Lord, and if they do not receive baptism by immersion at the hand s of m ine anointed as in the days of Melchizedec, saith the Lord God of Shem. 47 And this despite all their protestations and professions of righteousness and godliness from the least unto the greatest, for all men and
women are subject unto my law, saith the Lord, and none are exempt. 48 For I, even I came not to do away with the Law , but to fulfill the Law of Moses, saith the Lord. 49 But that law which pertaineth unto an Endless Life shall never! no NEVER SHALL IT DONE AWAY, saith the Lord , and all who come not unto this law shall be damned, worlds without end. 50 And not one jot nor one tittle shall pass from it. 51 And thus shall an everlasting penalty be exacted, both in time and eternity if the children of men turn not away from their w ickedness and unbelief, saith the Lord. 52 And on the other hand , the glory of them that do my will, saith the Lord, is verily beyond all imagination in the power, might and majesty thereof. 53 For they shall be exalted, even into my presence w ith mine Only Begotten and that One Mighty and Strong, saith the Father thereof. 54 For can they, the children of men do any more unto thee, O man, or O woman, than that which they d id in that day unto mine Only Begotten Son? 55 Therefore they that seek their lives shall lose them, but they who lose their lives for my sake, saith the Lord , shall d w ell in heavenly bliss, worlds without end, and the wicked shall even be cut off from it also forever, world s without end. 56 For I the Lord God shall give unto thee, O man, a parable that ye may know of my justice, individually in these things. 57 Yea, there was a teacher of pupils who went to see the principal of the school, to confer with him concerning the conduct of her class. 58 And while she was gone, she gave strict instruction that her class should be maintained in order and propriety. 64
THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST 59 And behold w h ile she was gone to see the principal, her stu d ents all rioted , and began to tear about the room in great confusion. 60 And she was gone a long time. 61 Now were any less guilty because all had rioted? 62 I say unto you nay. 63 And at the return of that teacher all shall be punished more severely than if one or two had misbehaved. 64 For her wrath shall be that much greater at the whole, and none shall escape. 65 Even so, it is with the children of men, at the end of the world. 66 And the teacher is the Son of Man, even Jesus of Nazereth, who shall destroy the wicked with the brightness of his appearing. 67 And all the earth shall see it together, and the heavens shall melt with fervent heat in that day, saith the Lord. 68 And it was that Abraham, my chosen, wast ordained to the Melchizedec Priesthood u n d er the hands of Melchizedec, of whom it is written that he, even Melchizedec, was greater even than the Patriarch Abraham. 69 For Abraham did have right unto the Priesthood by lineage and by right. 70 Therefore he, having sought righteousness in all his days, saith the Lord , d id apply unto Melchizedec for ord ination unto the Holy Order of God , which is after the Order of Melchizedec. 71 For mine Only Begotten shall return in that day, saith the Lord, and shall smite the enemies of Jerusalem which shall be encamped around about, and he shall fight their battles as he did in the day of Pharaoh when my servants Moses and Aaron d id lead the children of Israel from the land of their captivity. 72 And in that day, saith the Lord , the Priesthood of Melchizedec shall be given unto the Jews and others shall be called and ordained u n d er the hand s of m ine Only
Begotten, even Jesus of Nazereth in that day, saith the Lord, who is a Priest after the Order of Melchizedec as recorded in Book of Hebrews, by the hand of my servant Paul, in the 7th Chapter of the Book thereof, which book is had by the Gentiles in the Bible spoken of unto this day, saith the Lord God of Israel. 73 And he that is ordained and sent forth is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven, notwithstanding he must be the least and the servant of all. 74 And because of the transgression of the House of Israel, in the which they did worship the golden calf in defiance of my servant Moses, therefor I the Lord God did withdraw from them the Priesthood after the Order of Melchizedec, which is after the Order of an Endless Life, saith the Lord, and I the Lord God d id substitute the Levitical or Aaronic Priesthood which order is not after an End less Life, but is after the Law of Carnal Com mandments, which law was instituted as a schoolmaster to prepare them for the restoration of the Melchizedec Priesthood under the hand s of Mine Only Begotten in the day that he appeared among them walking on foot in the d u sty streets, fu ll of the clamour of the vendors and the bleating of the sheep and the confusion of tongues in that City, yea, even Jerusalem. 75 O Jerusalem that stonest the prophets, how oft, saith the Lord, even Jesus, would I, even I, thy saviour, have gathered thee, O Jerusalem, but ye would not, even as a hen gathereth her chicks under its w ing, even as it is now , O ye Gentiles! And as it is written, they, even they did reject mine Only Begotten Son, and did turn him aside, despite the mighty miracles which were performed by him in the sight of the humble, but these things were hidden, as it is now , from the wise and prudent, saith the Lord, as it is now , Yea they d id turn him aside as a thing of no worth, being from Nazereth, the Only 65
SECTION 6. Begotten Son of the Most H igh God , they d id trample his words under foot in their ignorance and unbelief, even as it is now , O ye Gentiles, for hath that One sent unto thee not also performed miracles in the sight of the humble and are we not one? 76 And they did reject him and this Oath and Covenant of the Priesthood , even as their fathers after the flesh had d one in the which they did wander in the desert for forty years. 77 And all, saith the Lord , who are not ordained as was Aaron unto one of these two Priesthoods hath not authority to teach or expound scripture in my name unto the children of men, in any way whatsoever, saith the Lord. 78 And whoso doeth this shall reap damnation to his soul, if he repent not. 79 For did I the Lord God not strike those men who reached forth to steady the Ark of the Covenant when it was that they d id tou ch the sides thereof? 80 And this because they had no authority, saith the Lord. 81 For whoso is faithful unto the obtaining of these two priesthood s of which I have spoken, and the magnifying their calling, are sanctified by the Sp irit unto the renew ing of their bod ies (translation). 82 And they become the sons of Moses and of Aaron and the seed of Abraham,, and the church and kingdom and the elect of God. 83 And also all they who receive this priesthood receive me, saith the Lord , even in the flesh shall ye see me and handle me and feel the prints of the nails in m ine hand s and in mine feet and ye shall know that I am the God of Israel and wast slain for the sins thereof as a lamb without spot or blemish. 84 And he that receiveth me, receiveth my Father. 85 And he that receiveth my Father, receiveth my Father’s Kingdom, therefore all that my Father hath shall be given unto him.
86 And this accord ing to the Oath and Covenant which belongeth to the Priesthood. 87 Therefore all those who receive the priesthood , receive this oath and covenant of my Father, which he cannot break, neither can it be moved. 88 But whoso breaketh this covenant after he hath received it and altogether turneth therefrom, shall not have forgiveness of sins in this world nor in the world toe come. 89 And wo unto all those who come not unto this priesthood , saith the Lord God of Israel! And the Melchizedec Priesthood w ast restored unto the earth after its long period of darkness and error known as the dark or middle ages in this the latter day under the hand s of Peter, James and John, who came down as resurrected beings, but John translated , yea even m ine angels, saith the Lord , whose brightness and glory defy all description, yea, they did come in the year as it is accounted among men, in 1829, saith the Lord, on the banks of the Susquehanna River in the Ohio, they, my servants, Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdrey, being chased by their enemies, d id have the hand of Peter, and James and John, my beloved, laid upon their head s in the day that they received the Apostleship of the Lord Jesus Christ. 90 And thus they did obtain authority from God to restore the Kingdom of God u p on the earth and to lay the foundation of Zion and to build u p this foundation with Brigham Young and John Taylor and others, and they prophesied at that time of One Mighty and Strong, that he should come unto Zion to receive of the fru its of the kingdom, and rule and reign under his Father, the Kingdom which was his, saith the Father, from before the foundation of the world , to be his ap p ointed son, and established as King of Righteousness and honor and glory and m ight forever and ever. 66
THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST 91 Yea my Father, I command and the element shall obey and altogether for thy glory shall I speak w ith a voice of thunder, that the things which are in my soul, shall they not be unleashed in that day, a voice that shall not be resisted , yea in the power of thy Priesthood shall I speak, O my God, that the element shall move for the redemption of Israel, Israel, my people that ye see my God and the power which is m ine to w ield for thy salvation, O Israel as that of an Enoch or a Moses shall I command and the element shall it not move in that day? 92 And the prophesy of Joseph and Oliver was just and true, for I am He, O Israel, who should come, and I having been ordained by the laying on of the hands of one anointed and sealed unto this power, have by faith obtained the keys, even of the Melchizedec Priesthood u p on the earth, and have received the ministration of angels in my day, having worked righteousness in all my days, and am empowered, saith the Most H igh, to ordain, preach, teach, baptize, and lay on hand s to heal the children of men and to receive many revelations for the edification of the body of Christ who shall partake of the ord inances of salvation which shall be administered unto them in a Temple by the authority in this the latter day, of the Melchizedec Priesthood , even the Holy Apostleship. 93 And all who desire a witness from me, saith the Lord , shall humble themselves in much prayer and fasting and behold thus saith the Lord, they shall receive from me, even Jesus of Nazereth, through the power of my Spirit, w itness that these things are true and of me, saith the Lord. 94 For the things of God, no man knoweth but by the Spirit of God which is a consuming fire, to the consuming of both joints and marrow and sinew and bone, to the glory of God.
95 And them that come shall be even as darting sparks among stubble, saith the Lord God of might. 96 For the things of God are foolishness unto the natural man, and thus the natural man is an enemy unto God and must perish except he be born anew through the ord inances of the Holy Priesthood of the Son of God and receive thereby the Holy Ghost, even the Gift thereof, which is the right to the constant companionship thereof, as recorded in the Book of the Acts of the Apostles, Chapter 2, verse 38. 97 And the Gift of the Holy Ghost is received by the laying on of the hands of the Apostles or one ordained thereunto, and is the Testator of my Father, and this is received after repentance and baptism by immersion, for the remission of sins. 98 And thus and only thus are men born again and though I, or an angel from heaven preach any other doctrine than that which I have preached, let him be accursed. 99 And all who receive not these things, saith the Lord , shall be cut off from among the people in that day which shall prove the destruction of this the American nation when the economy thereof, which is after the Order of Babylon the Great, shall fall. 100 And my servant, saith the Lord, shall be a King unto Zion, even as m ine Only Begotten wast King of the Jews in that day, for he shall be a righteous administrator unto Ephraim as Melchizedec was unto Salem, saith the Lord, for these things are his by lineage and by right, saith the Lord, for he is my servant the Branch who shall bu ild u p the Tem p le of the Lord , as spoken by the mouth of Isaiah, Jerem iah, Ezekiel, and Joseph Smith. 101 And the remnant shall be gathered by him unto the Center Place to build His Holy Temple and Ephraim shall be crowned from on high, for the heavens and the earth shall run together in that that they shall see eye to eye and they 67
SECTION 6. shall verily know even as they are known in that day, saith the Lord. 102 For Enoch and the city of Zion which was taken up shall descend and shall take up its abode once more at the site which it d id occupy, saith the Lord, formerly, for it was built by Enoch on Holy Ground, yea even that place which was occupied by the Garden of Eden, for Behold the Garden of Eden, saith the Lord, was located u p on this the American Continent before the flood in that day, yea, in the which Adam fell that men might be, and men are that they might have joy, saith the Lord. 103 And that part of the Book which was sealed that my servant Joseph shou ld not translate which was written by the hand of that Brother of Jared shall be given unto them in that day, saith the Lord, in the which the people shall see eye to eye that all things shall be given unto them in that day, for I the Lord God shall withhold nothing from them in that day, and they shall be revealed all things which are true, concerning the first through the seventh thousand years, for they were shown unto this man, that I the Lord cou ld w ithhold nothing from him, and this because of his mighty faith in me in the which there is much power. 104 For he, the Brother of Jared, did write these things in the Adamic language, which, saith the Lord, is a perfect tongue which hath facility to express all thoughts and all things which are in the heart and sou l of man, and can express all things in heaven or earth, yea, even in perfection, and this was the tongue spoken by the One when he beheld the things of God. 105 And the words which the Brother of Jared wrote were powerful to the overcoming of man that he should read them in his weakness. 106 And this was the language which was confounded at the Tower spoken of in the which mankind were broken up into different tongues and peoples.
107 For it was that before the flood, the people all spoke the Adamic tongue, yea, even that language which Father Adam did speak and write unto his children gathered into the valley of Adam-Ondai-Ahman to hear him the last time before he was translated and taken up into heaven, saith the Lord God of Israel. 108 For our Father, who is the Father of both heaven and earth, saith the Lord , never tasted of death, and this despite that his physical body became charged w ith solid matter, yea, even blood in his veins instead of light or spirit, after the fall, for he wast transp lanted by Eloheim , which meaneth the Gods, or the council thereof into the Garden with Eve, one of his wives, and this from another world, and He is the Father of both heaven and earth, for all of the spirits were begotten by Him before the world was made. 109 And he did d o this while in a resurrected and glorified state, from another planet, and d id leave Eloheim of which he was a part to partake of the fru it that man might be, and these things, were they not taught by Brigham Young to him by Joseph Smith, saith the Lord? 110 And have I not also revealed these things unto my servant Art Bu lla, who is mine anointed, even at this time, saith the Lord? 111 Even so, judge ye O man, who art full of instability before me, whether these things are not true. 112 And if ye believe them not after I have made them p lain unto thee, even at this time, saith the Lord , Ye O ye Gentiles shall have blasphemed against the Holy Ghost and shall be destroyed both body and sou l in that hell spoken of and shall be thus cut off. 113 And if ye pray unto me, I the Lord shall also reveal it unto thee O man, that ye partake with me, even Eloheim, of the eternal lives, for are we not one God unto thee O man? 114 And were these things not also taught unto the people at that time by Moses, and would to God he cou ld have revealed unto them all things, but they would not in the hardness of 68
THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST their hearts and blindness of their m ind s, for which thing they perished in the wilderness. 115 And He, is the Ancient of Days, even Father Adam, and his Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom, and he shall rule over his posterity forever and ever, and behold He is also the Father of Jesus Christ in the flesh, for He, even He did begat Him in that day, saith the Lord , in the which he left Enoch and Zion which had been taken up off the earth, and did come down, translated , to begat H is Only Begotten Son in the flesh. 116 And behold, this hath been done on other worlds which have been created by the Power of the Most H igh and organized from the chaotic element. 117 And thus when His children which were spirits before the world w as made, beheld the foundation of this world being laid for them , behold it is written by the hand of my servant Job, that the Morning Stars—for thus are they compared—sang together, and the Sons of God shouted for joy, and I the Lord God did inquire of my servant Job, and where wast thou, O Job, before thy su ffering in the flesh, Yea where wast thou , when the Morning Stars sang together and the Sons of God shouted for joy? 118 For behold he did shout for joy above in m ight, even than the rest, and thus is his joy, even now full, for behold he was resurrected and did w alk about among the people at the resurrection of m ine Only Begotten, saith the Lord. 119 For Job wast a Priest after the Order of Melchizedec also, even as my servant, as he known among men, Art Bulla. 120 And thou my servant, Wesley, art in transgression if ye receive me not and him who I have appointed as anciently in these things. 121 And all who receive these things, saith the Lord , shall also never taste of death, but ye, even ye, O Ephraim, shall overcome the fall, even death and hell, and shall be redeemed up
into my presence even as ye receive him who wast appointed in these things from before the foundation of the world while a spirit, in these things, even my servant Art Bu lla, shall ye receive as mine anointed, and my Spirit which I shall send shall bear record of this that ye may know and have a sure witness these things are of me, saith the Lord God of Israel, even Joseph, sold into slavery, from whom ye, O Ephraim are descended. 122 And thus that which was spoken by my servant Moses in the Book of Deuteronomy, the thirtieth Chapter, is fulfilled in these things. 123 And I the Lord God set before thee, O man, a cursing and a blessing, eternal life or death and ye are free to choose, but know most assuredly my wrath shall come upon thee to thy destruction both body and spirit in these things, after I the Lord God have spoken unto thee, O man, plainly, in which it is impossible to err, and if ye choose to go on in the hardness of heart and blindness of m ind , which thing HATH PROVOKED me as anciently, and none can deliver, for where are thy missiles, for I the Lord God am able to destroy thy armies, O man, with the botch of Egypt or the plague which ye know not of, or by m ine arm ies, the locust, or I am able to lead the w icked to the river that they drown, being deluded, and where is that which ye put trust in that day, saith the Lord? 124 For I the Lord thy God am a God of vengeance and of fire and the confusion and the song and the fury of battle and love the slaughter of those m ine enem ies who would not that I the Lord their God should rule over them. 125 For the remnant of Israel shall go among the ignorant and unbelieving as verily a young lion, who when he goeth through both treadeth and teareth in pieces, yea my young men, my warriors, and none can deliver. 126 And my servant Shel Jensen, with whom I am well p leased at this time, saith the Lord , 69

hus saith the Lord , from this time forward ye shall receive commandment or instru ction from none other than he whom I have ap p ointed unto this power, even my servant Art Bu lla, in whom I am w ell pleased. 2 For I have proven him, saith the Lord , and have proven that he is a tried stone, a sure foundation upon which the rest of my structure which I the Lord God shall erect among the children of men for the government thereof can be bu ilt, yea, even that kingdom spoken of which shall free all men from that bondage which doth threaten their destruction both according to the spirit as well as the body. 3 Yea, for him I know and his works are verily known of me, saith the Lord , for the which he shall receive a crown of everlasting life, yea even at my right hand.
4 For even at his word the heavens shall shut themselves that no rain shall fall and all things shall be done even according to the word which I the Lord God shall speak in that day from his mouth, yea even that the elements shall move hither and thither at his command, even as Enoch or Moses my servant. 5 For these things are according to the Oath and Covenant of the of the Priesthood w h ich I the Lord God have confirmed upon him with promise, yea for he, even he, saith the Lord, is a Priest forever after the Order of Melchizedec, which is the Order even of the Ancients who lived long in the earth and were mighty men of renown. 6 And no man taketh this honor unto himself except he is called and ordained by the laying on of the hands of one appointed unto this power, as was Moses and Enoch. 7 Even so, I am the same, yesterday, today, and forever and bestow u p on whom I will powers 70
THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST and authorities to act in my name, saith the Lord God of the Brother of Jared , whom the world in its w isdom knoweth not of, for this man, saith the Lord , I d id show m yself unto him and did touch with my finger the stones which he d id m olten, that he and his brethren might have light while it was that they were in boats which they had made in order that they might cross the great deep, and that they might people this land after the waters had receded off the face thereof after that m ighty flood which I the Lord did cause that it should cover the inhabitants thereof. 8 For this man, saith the Lord , was mighty, even that nothing cou ld I the Lord his God w ithhold from him and verily he is with me today in the might and p ower of my glory, which words or the tongue of man cannot form in the description thereof. 9 For this man, saith the Lord, I did make large in stature like unto them of old , who were mighty men in the earth, and strong of sinew and bone and whose constitution, saith the Lord , was mighty that they d id live unto the age of a tree in the life thereof and because of the constitution of that body which I the Lord God d id give unto them, they d id stave off death, and this because of their righteousness before me. 10 But behold, saith the Lord, because of the rebellion of man whom I have created in mine image, they, even they have become weak and feeble and susceptible to d isease and various and sundry infirm ities which afflict them, for the wages of sin is death, saith the Lord , and many of them are deformed in the birth thereof, which thing was unknown unto them of old , yea even Adam the first man, who is the Ancient of Days, as recorded in the writings of the Book of Enoch. 11 For by this name was he Adam, known among the inhabitants of the earth which had multiplied exceedingly upon the face thereof.
12 For they knew of him that he was the first man, and his wife Eve, and because the hairs of his head were an exceeding and brilliant white, and he being bowed down with age, he did call together them that were righteous among his posterity to exhort them in the ways of the Gods, and did bless them and being filled with the Holy Ghost, also rose up and did predict whatsoever should befall his posterity unto the latest generation. 13 And he being filled w ith years, d id p lead and exhort his children that they should follow the ways of righteousness that their days should be prolonged in the land. 14 And the land w as beautifu l and had an abundance of fig and fru it, though not in as great abundance as that before the fall. 15 And he did exhort them who were his posterity w ith all the feeling of tender regard and anxiety for the welfare of their souls as that of a parent for his child. 16 And there was one who stood among them who were assembled to hear these words of Adam whose name was Enoch. 17 And Enoch was troubled in his sp irit even because of these things, and he being ordained unto the Holy Order of God, was pricked in his heart for the welfare of his brethren and sisters. 18 For many of them had de parted from the ways of righteousness even at this time, and being tempted and led by that evil one who was thrust out from the presence of my Father into ways that are pernicious and did cause a curse to come upon the land , they began to wax in iniquity. 19 And for this thing was Enoch, the seventh from Adam troubled, and his anxiety was great, yea even as that of Father Adam. 20 Therefore he began to go forth u p on the land to preach and exhort his brethren, that they might repent and believe on the redemption of the Son of God who should come in the Meridian of time, even Jesus of Nazereth. 71
SECTION 6. 21 And this thing was given unto Enoch by the Sp irit of God w h ich testifieth in those days of things to come. 22 And thus it was that they became denoted by the term prophet, for the testimony of the Son of God was given by the Spirit of the living God, his birth among the children of men being yet many years in the future. 23 And these things were also known unto Adam, yea even the p lan of salvation was taught and revealed through the agency of the Holy Priesthood, which is after the Order of the Son of God , and through the ad m inistration of angels or messengers from time to time from the presence of the Gods. 24 And thus Adam’s transgression in the Garden of Eden was forgiven upon baptism for the remission of sins in the name of the Father and the Son and Holy Ghost. 25 And he was born of God and through the p lan of salvation voted u p on from before the foundation of the world , he d id overcome the fall and had his calling and election made sure and being filled w ith years d id exhort his children that they too might partake of Eternal Life by entering into that path which is straight and narrow. 26 But behold many of his children did harden themselves against his words, and for this cause was Enoch troubled in his spirit. 27 Therefore being moved u p on by the Holy Ghost, he d id go about calling them to repentance. 28 And all men were offended of him, for he d id verily go and d eclare w ith boldness concerning their iniquities, for behold they d id go on in the hardness of their hearts, and were in their fallen state, carnal, sensual and devilish in their natures. 29 Nevertheless, he, being strengthened by the Spirit, did approach them again and again, that he was thrust out from their presence and spat upon and afflicted, yet he did persevere.
30 And behold there were false religions which were inspired of that Evil One who is a spirit, and false teachers d id abound who were not called and ordained after the Holy Order of God , which religions in the practices thereof had a form of God liness but also denied the power encompassed within this Order , and all this according to the cunning of the devil who is the Father of lies and verisimilitudes. 31 And in these things d id Enoch wade through much affliction and his sou l was pained , yea even unto tears and anguish because of the iniquity of his brethren who also were created in the image of God. 32 For he d id yearn for the welfare of their souls as his own, and in his anguish he did cry unto the Lord his God, for his torment because of the truth was exquisite, for they did turn him aside as a thing of naught notwithstand ing the Fathers still lived. 33 And after many days the people began to listen unto the word s of Enoch, for behold he did speak with much enthusiasm and kindness and meekness and m u ch power through the Holy Ghost, for the welfare of their sou ls and notwithstanding he was sm itten of them h e would refrain from smiting again and returning evil for evil and railing for railing. 34 And thus he began to have success among the more humble and m eek and d owntrod d en of the earth, for they would listen unto him and their hearts began to swell and even be comforted in these things, that they began also to taste of that fru it which is white above all that is white and pure above all that is pure. 35 And Enoch waxed strong in faith and gathered these from among the resid u e of the children of men that they began to practice and learn the ways of righteousness, and the laws and ordinances of the Priesthood of the Son of God he did minister unto them, and they did have all things in com m on and everyone d id esteem his neighbor as himself because of the 72
THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST love of God w h ich was in them to the overpowering of greed and other manifestations of their fallen natures. 36 And thus they did become one even w ith Enoch and they d id build a city called Zion which was established as a city of God and was formally dedicated by Enoch and his brethren for this purpose, that it m ight be possessed by the Most High. 37 And behold, because of the righteousness of the people in the which they did see eye to eye, yea even in all things, they, being united in faith in the which is m u ch power, it did please the Lord exceedingly, that he did take up his abode among them and spake and walked with them even as before in the Garden before the fall. 38 For they d id overcome the fall, even that they were brought back into the presence of the Father of Heaven and Earth that they also became one with him in all things. 39 And their brightness and glory exceeded all imagination, as did the glory of their city. 40 being moved u p on by the enemy of all righteousness they might destroy the meek of the earth. 40 And because of these things the inhabitants round about, moved upon with envy, did assemble an army against Enoch and the City of Zion that they m ight destroy the meek of the earth. 41 And the Father tested his sons and daughters in these things that their faith should be tried. 42 And I say, as the army was assembled against them, Enoch and the City thereof would not take up weapons of war, but did trust in the Lord their God, yea even the God of Enoch, and Adam their father they d id rely u p on and so great was their faith that they would not rely upon the arm of flesh for their deliverance. 43 And as this opposition to righteousness did threaten them with destruction, behold, Enoch, being moved upon by the Holy Ghost and filled w ith much power which is according to the 73
Holy Order of God , even that his frame was filled w ith power from God so that his bones within him felt as if they would melt as it were from the power thereof, which was of su ch glory and m ight, he went forth alone in the power of God to do battle in the name of his God against the army which had moved up within sight of the City of Zion. 44 And he being fu ll of the fury of the Lord , did raise up his hand, and stretched it forth and with the voice of thunder did command and the element d id obey his voice, yea even the voice of a Son of God in the which he did command and the river which flowed in its course d id move out of its accustomed path and did swamp the army which had been assembled in the w ickedness of the people in their pride, in the which many were drowned in the currents thereof. 45 And a great and awful fear fell u p on them who were left in the which they d id flee from Enoch who stood alone in the majesty and power of the God of his Fathers. 46 And thus Enoch obtained renown, and the city of Zion did increase in favor with God and the righteous did flee unto it. 47 And as the resid u e did wax grosser in iniqu ity despite the longsuffering of God toward them, the sou l of God w as pained that he could no longer suffer that his people should remain. 48 And their righteousness became so exceed ingly great that the power of God wrought amongst them that they were translated in the which their bod ies were changed that they shou ld not taste of death and that the Father d id cause that the city thereof shou ld be removed from off the earth in that day, and the residue which were left did gaze and beheld it as it was taken up from off the face of the earth in the which the earth did rend and shake from the power thereof. 49 And they did exclaim, Zion is fled!
SECTION 6. 50 Nevertheless, the Father in his mercy that his Holy Order should be preserved among them, for all who were taken were after the Order, that thereby the plan of salvation might still be available among those were his children who were the children of Adam the first man, he did cause that Methuselah should remain, he being ordained by Adam after the Holy Order of God. 51 And the grandson of Methuselah was Noah who did preach righteousness unto the residue and did build the ark wherein eight souls were saved by water. 52 Even so, the Father hath decreed unto me, Art Bu lla, that the City of Zion shall again return in this the latter day unto those who are built u p from beneath according to the Holy Order of God that his w ill on earth might be done even as it is in heaven and there is One like unto Enoch who standeth upon the earth in this the latter-day that all m ight be made one both in the heavens and in the earth and that the prayer which was prayed by the Only Begotten of the Father which he d id pray, as recorded in the Book of John might be fulfilled: that thy Kingdom come and thy will be done on earth even as it is in heaven. 53 And also that the God of our Fathers may once again take his abode, yea, even in Zion. 54 And thus saith the Lord , mine Only Begotten shall return also to Jerusalem and unto the Jews which have been gathered out from the nations of their d ispersal accord ing to the promises which I the Lord God did make unto their Fathers through the mouths of my servants Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Isaiah, and others of my servants, the Prophets of Judah. 55 For it is given by the Father unto Ephraim and Manessah the promises of their fathers, even Joseph who was sold into slavery and became the Prime Minister of Pharaoh in Egypt,
that even they shall bu ild Zion, upon this the American continent. 56 For upon this land was Zion built by Enoch and his brethren before the flood. 57 And thus saith the Father unto my servant Art Bu lla, whom I have ordained to this purpose before the foundation of the world, he shall be made like unto mine Only Begotten, even in these things, that Zion w ill I cause to descend and we will take u p our abode with them who are gathered out of Babylon the Great according to the words of John the Beloved found in the Book of Revelations, the eighteenth Chapter, and fourth verse. 58 For I the Lord his God shall give him equal power and dominion with mine Only Begotten, for he shall be a saviour unto Ephraim and Manessah upon this the American Continent unto which I the Father have caused that they should be gathered over in their generations. 59 For Manessah I did bring over, saith the Father, in the day that I d id m ove u p on my servants Lehi and Nephi and did command that they shou ld leave the city Jerusalem which shou ld be destroyed by my servant Nebuchadnezzar in the year 600 B.C . as accounted among men, did they leave, being descendants and accounting their lineage from Manessah, the firstborn of Joseph, and one of the twelve tribes of the House of Israel, and from whom the American Indian is sprung. 60 Even so, O man, these are the mysteries of Godliness which have been revealed unto me as in days of old through the agency of this Priesthood the keys of which I hold , in the which whatsoever I speak, according to the will of the Father, even so it shall be done. 61 Even so, glory be unto my Father forever and ever and may His holy w ill be done, even on earth as it is in heaven. Amen .

nd now, saith the Lord God of Israel, my chosen, I the Lord God shall given unto those who ask in all d iligence and humility before me, know ledge concerning the man whom I have formed that through his mouth it is that I should speak unto thee O man, that thou shouldst also partake with me of Eternal Life, for this verily is that which is the greatest of the gifts of God. 2 For it is my desire that ye shou ld fulfill the measure of your creation and partake with me of su ch an exceed ing weight of might, glory, power and intelligence that thy tongue, O man, is unable in the working thereof to express the m ight thereof which doth exceed in power, m ight and glory and joy anything which is or has been upon the earth, which might, glory, it is written that the sun which shineth in the firmament is written of as being typical. 3 Yea, thus saith the Lord , thy God w h o it is that doth speak unto thee by the might and power of my spirit which it is that doth bear record of me, saith the Lord , that the power
which is in possession of my sons Abraham, Isaac and Jacob surpasseth all things for they are Gods, yea even the sons of God, and if they should appear unto thee, O man, it would cause the destruction of the earth upon which thou standest, for I the Lord thy God have given all things unto them, for they are they who have abided the law unto which they were created and thus they are bod ies celestial, for their glory is that glory which is compared unto the sun in the brightness of their appearing. 4 And these things are after the oath and Covenant of the Melchizedec Priesthood , which is after the Order of Enoch, which is after the Order of the Son of God, which Order is written by the hand of my servant Paul, who is also a participant in these things, O man, is w ithout beginning of days or end of years, yea, and is also without father or mother. 5 And it is through this Holy Order that all things are d ispensed unto the children of men which pertain unto godliness, and without this Priesthood, yea even the Holy Priesthood after
75
SECTION 7. the Order of the Son of God , the power of godliness is not manifest unto men in the flesh. 6 For no man can see the face of God and live, unless it should be that he is ordained after this Order, and no man taketh this honor, yea, even the honor and m ight of my Holy Priesthood unless he is called and ordained as was Moses who also is in the sim ilitu d e of m ine Only Begotten, with whom I spake face to face. 7 And Moses received the Priesthood from Jethro, the Mid ianite, who it is received the Holy Priesthood from under the hand s of the fathers, even Abraham , who received it from under the hands of Melchizedec, who received it under the hand s of the Fathers before the flood ,and N oah his Father, who was also ordained unto mine Holy Order, by the which he receive the revelations of God and the ordinances thereof and w ould have saved the children of men with an everlasting salvation, if they would hearken unto him and the words which I the Lord God did speak unto them through the agency of this Order. 8 And N oah d id receive the Priesthood u n d er the hand s of Methuselah, who it was that was ordained by Adam as was Enoch. 9 And Adam was ordained by Eloheim. 10 And thus it is that this priesthood continueth in all generations and is the means by which salvation is wrought out among the children of men, and is the medium through which I the Lord your God reveal the mysteries, yea, the unsearchable things of God unto them, and is the medium through which all scripture is given for the benefit of the children of men, and is the foundation of all righteous government which also is after the Order of Enoch or that which is called the United Order in the which men were freed at that time from all tem p oral bondage, in the which all who participated therein have all things in common, and every man esteemed his neighbor as himself in things which are of a tem p oral
nature. 11 And it is my will, saith the Lord God of Israel, who also was ordained after mine Order, that this Order spoken of which is called the Order of Enoch or that United Order should again be established u p on the earth that they may be prepared for that which is to come which is the collapse or the fall of Babylon the Great which is after the Order of that Evil One who it is that doth rule and bear sway in the hearts and minds of the children of men at this time, for thus saith the Lord , this greed w h ich doth motivate men to such a marked d egree that the children of men are held for their existence at the mercy of harsh taskmasters who it is that doth grind the faces of the poor and meek of the earth and trod them under foot, for I the Lord God have seen their oppressions and have heard their cries for they have ascended up unto me. 12 Therefor it is my will that they should be freed from these things be being obedient unto the d ictates of my righteous servant that once again my Holy Order may be established among them that all d istinctions of a tem p oral nature should be done away among you. 13 For thus saith the Lord there is enough in the earth and the surplus thereof that all should receive enough that their need of a tem p oral nature should be met, for life is more than that which a man or woman doth eat or that which they shall wear, saith the Lord. 14 And it is for this reason that m ine Order which is after the Order of Aaron which is not after the Order of Melchizedec, but is after that order which pertaineth unto the temporal needs of man should be established. 15 And this is the calling of a Bishop which is an office and calling pertaining unto the Order of Aaron, that he should preside over the Order of Enoch, or the United Order, which pertaineth unto that economic condition which I desire that those who call themselves after my name 76
THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST should adopt, saith the Lord God of Israel. 16 And Timothy who is now with me was the first Bishop at Ephesus, and he was ordained under the hand s of my servant Paul who was Ordained an Apostle which is an office in the Melchizedec Priesthood , under the hands of Peter, whom it was that I the Lord thy God did commit the keys of these things, yea even that of the Holy Priesthood of the Son of God that he shou ld ju d ge, yea, even the House of Israel along w ith James and John my servants who are Presidents of this Priesthood u n d er the d irection of the Only Begotten, even at this time. 17 And inasmuch as these mine Apostles were killed, my priesthood w h ich is after the Order of Melchizedec of old w as taken or removed , that the whole earth was plunged into su ch an exceed ing great darkness as has not been known among the children of men before or since, in the which I the Lord thy God did suffer my spirit that it should be withdrawn from off the earth and man whom I have created after mine own image d id become even as the beast of the field, that he should kill or be killed even as the beasts of the forest. 18 And this, O man, was known as the dark or middle ages. 19 And thus I the Lord God hid my face from man who I created , and this because, even because they d id slay my servants when they came among them that they should testify that I the Lord God had come among them in the flesh. 20 And these mine Apostles were eyewitnesses of my glory and they were sent to testify of these things and they also would have saved man whom I have created, but they would not. 21 And this because in their pride and wisdom in the which they lusted after the vain things of apparel and ornaments and gold and silver and shunned that which doth give life and salvation, yea O man, know ye not that the streets of
the City of God are paved with that gold which ye do lust after? 22 Why is it that ye cannot see me and know me who it is that doth speak unto you for I too, am after the Order of Melchizedec, yea even Jesus of Nazereth, whom ye have not known? 23 And therefor it is for this reason that I the Lord thy God have caused that another Priest should arise ter the Order of Melchizedec that he too shou ld be ordained also unto mine Apostleship which office and calling my servant doth hold for both time and eternity, for he is after m ine Order and was with me from the beginning and his sp irit was foreordained before the world was in the council of the Gods that he should come forth at this time that I may prove unto the children of men that I am the same, yesterday, today, and forever, and because I the Lord thy God have given unto the children of men, one gift, ye need not su p p ose that I cannot give another. 24 For he too is in the similitude of mine Only Begotten. 25 And all those who will not be obedient unto me through him, will I the Lord God destroy form off the face of the earth. 26 For the day fast approacheth in the which I the Lord God have caused that my spirit should again be w ithdrawn from off the face of the earth except among those who are obed ient unto the d ictates of my righteous servant even as the children of Israel were obed ient unto Moses in that day which I did deliver them also from both temporal and spiritual bondage. 27 And now, O man, who is it that doth mock or counsel me, saith the Lord, in these things? 28 For they are they who shall taste of my wrath and suffer with the devil and his angels in that hell spoken of, for I the Lord will not be mocked. 29 Even so, I the Lord thy God , who it is that doth speak unto thee, will explain these things unto thee, O man, who doth exalt thyself in the 77
SECTION 7. imagination of thine heart against me. 30 And it is for this reason that I the Lord thy God have decreed that man whom I have created in mine own image should be destroyed from off the face of the earth except that he should humble himself before me and repent. 31 For I the Lord God am the same yesterday, today, and forever and am a vengeful god unto the consuming of those who are mine enemies as by fire. 32 For I will fight those nations which are gathered together against my people Israel as in the day of battle. 33 For I the Lord God am a God of battles and love the song thereof, and also the fury thereof. 34 For by the hand of Jacob, otherwise known as Israel who also was ordained u n d er the hands of Abraham who also ordained Isaac, who was ordained u n d er the hand s of Melchizedec, for Enoch was before the flood , I the Lord God caused that he should be the means of blessing each of his twelve sons, which I the Lord God did give unto him that they be his posterity, who were the twelve patriarchs of the House thereof, which is the House of Israel, or Jacob my chosen. 35 And in this manner did the promise which I the Lord God did make unto Abraham, that through his seed shou ld all the nations of the earth be blessed, that it should begin to be fulfilled. 36 And the names of the twelve patriarchs was Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Zebulin, Issachar, Dan, Gad , Asher, Naphtali, Joseph, and Benjamin, and because of transgression, the birthright which belonged unto Reuben was removed from him and given unto Ephraim, one of the sons of Joseph, and Manessah, another of the sons of Joseph was given to stand in the stead or place thereof. 37 And the rest of the history of the House of Israel, I the Lord God have caused that it should be preserved in that scripture known as
the Bible down unto this day, which is the fullness of the Gentiles, which I the Father decreed that it should come. 38 For that Abraham was descended from Shem who was Melchizedec, saith the Lord , and the Gentile nations were descended from Japeth, one of the other sons of Noah, and those who were cursed as pertaining unto the Priesthood that they nor their generations after them shall not have right unto it, for in this manner was the curse of Cain preserved in the land , for I the Lord promised him that he would not be destroyed nor his seed after him, for the w ife of Ham was Egyptus, who was a descendant of Cain, for whom the land of Egypt takes its name, and the Pharaohs were descended from Ham. 39 And them who be liberals, who would that the curse of Cain be abrogated, and not by me, saith the Lord shall they not be consu m ed by me in that day which shall burn, even as an oven? 40 For they, even they by their legislation in the which they think to abrogate the decrees of the Most H igh, take that which belongeth to them who were valiant and deserving of reward, and distribute these things, and cast pearls before swine, unto them who were not deserving of my blessings, even from before the foundation of the world , and they would have law and justice and truth done away even in these things, for they know not my ways, saith the Lord, for my ways are they not just? 41 For it is that justice shall have her sway, and mercy can it rob justice, saith the Lord? 42 For if there were no punishment affixed then it is that there cou ld also be no reward, and all things m u st become a mixture of one and there could be no righteousness, and where there is no righteousness, there is no happiness, saith the Lord , for the effects of righteousness, are they not peace, and joy, and union, and the effects thereof, but the effects of wickedness are 78
THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST they not murderings, thieving, lying, stealing, and all those things which produce misery and the effects thereof, even that ye devour one another in thy wickedness, O man, and it is that these things shall not be in heaven, therefor the w icked , shall they not be destroyed by mine angels who are mighty beyond thy faculties, O weak man in the flesh to comprehend? 43 And has not my justice been in force from before the foundation of the world? 44 Hence Lu cifer, was he not cast out that he and them who be with him devour one another? 45 And these things pertain also unto the races of men, in the which according to my justice, saith the Lord , men were arranged in grades and the races according to their intelligence and righteousness and valiance from before the foundation of the world. 46 For where there is a reward, there also must be a punishment, for as it is one the one hand, it must also be on the other. 47 For where there is Eternal Life, there m u st be an Eternal Death. 48 And the devil and his angels, shall they not partake of this Death, even as the Sons of God, shall they not partake of Eternal Life, saith the Lord? 49 And I the Lord God have decreed that whosoever mingleth his seed w ith the seed of Cain shall receive of the curse thereof. 50 And those who consider themselves liberal in their feelings in regard to these things, I the Lord God will destroy in that day not too far distant which shall burn as an oven, for so did they think also before the flood, saith the Lord, before their destruction. 51 For as in the days of Noah, so shall the coming of the Son of Man be. 52 For did he not say, I am sent not but unto the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel, but none of m ine Apostles saith the Lord , were sent among Cain, even Africa, but Thomas, did he
not go to the Gentiles in India, and did not Paul go into Europe, among the Gentiles, saith the Lord , but it was that I the Lord God did not send one into that which is known as Africa in that day, saith the Lord. 53 For the seed of Cain shall not partake with the House of Israel, their blessings saith the Lord God of Shem,and this from before the foundation of the world. 54 For it was that rather than cast them out also they d id agree, from before the foundation of the world to be a race of servants, yea from before the foundation of the world , and they also have been cursed with a skin of blackness that my people who are of the House of Israel should not desire them to mix their seed w ith them, for these things have they not always followed them who be apostates from the Holy Priesthood of the Son of God, even Laman and also Lemuel, saith the Lord? 55 And it is for these things that the liberals have brought even a sore and heavy curse upon the land , even in these things, saith the Lord that I have decreed that ye shall be destroyed , O ye Gentiles, unless it be that ye turn away from thy false teachers, who teach that there is no harm in this, that the mixing with the black race of Cain is a good thing, as before the flood are these things taught and did I the Lord God not destroy their mighty ones by the flood in that day? 56 Even so judge ye, for them who be with me, are they not also preparing for battle against thee, O man, and O woman, who exalteth thyself against me, in these and also other things, too numerous to mention? 57For mine angels shall they not reap down thy earth, O man? 58 And Satan thinketh to abrogate the plan of salvation by mixing the seed of Cain w ith all those who are of my people, and for this purpose d id he cause that the seed of Cain shou ld be brought over, even them who be 79
SECTION 7. known as negro, by the hand s of w icked m en unto this land which was choice above all other lands which I the Lord God have reserved for the seed of Ephraim and Manessah. 59 And the curse of Cain which is in force upon him shall not be removed by me, the Lord thy God who it is that doth speak unto thee O man, until the redemption of the earth, and then it is that he shall be resurrected to receive of that which he d id agree unto from before the foundation of the world, saith the Lord God of Shem. 60 For I am the author and creator of the races, and Satan seeketh to m ix the Gentiles w ith the seed of Ham that my justice from before the foundation of the world be done away, and the inheritance of mine anointed sons be done, even away in these things. 61 And thus he laugheth with his chains even of the ignorance and w ickedness of man, and thereby bringeth him d own, even unto destruction, saith the Lord even in these things and this because of unbelief, saith the Lord. 62 For my justice, shall it be done away because of the w ickedness of men, saith the Lord, even though the whole earth go after this exceeding great error the know ledge of which was know by them of Old , even Melchizedec, and Abraham, and N oah, for the conflict between the races, is it not from an ancient date, saith the Lord? 63 I, the Lord God say unto thee, O man, that if it be that ye do not turn away and repent of these things, ye shall be destroyed. 64 And the seed of Cain w ill I cause to be destroyed from off the land thereof, even that which is known as North America, saith the Lord God of Israel, my chosen from before the foundation of the world. 65 For the w icked among the Gentiles w ill I cause that they shall destroy them and the seed of Cain, even the negro on this the American continent shall destroy the w icked red-necked
among the Gentiles. 66 And all in that day who will not flee unto Zion which I will establish u p on this the American continent shall be destroyed in that day which is even now u p on you, saith the Lord God of Israel. 67 For I the Lord God did cause that Ephraim should be scattered among those nations which are known as European, or that the seed of Ephraim should be sprinkled among those nations that thereby they might be blessed according to the promise that I the Lord God did make unto Abraham, my chosen. 68 For I the Lord God did make the promise unto him that he should be the Father of many nations and that his seed should sprinkle many nations and that through his seed all the nations of the earth should be blessed. 69 For I the Lord thy God O man, am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and I am the God of the whole earth. 70 And I the Lord God did promise Abraham that those who are obedient unto the Priesthood which I the Lord did confirm upon him, which is without father, and without mother, without beginning of days nor end of years, that they shou ld become the literal seed or heirs of the promises according to the Oath and Covenant thereof, and that those who are the literal seed should be cut off the true vine spoken of, that thereby the last may be first and the first last, that I the Lord their God should prove unto all nations that I the Lord am no respecter of persons, but that all who work righteousness are accepted of me, even as was Abraham. 71 And I the Lord make this same covenant which is a New and an Everlasting Covenant accord ing to the Priesthood , that all who hearken not and come unto and be obedient unto my servant, Art Bulla, that I the Lord God may by him work righteousness in the earth, for He is mine anointed , they, even they shall be cut off from among the people even as when I 80
THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST the Lord spake it through the mouth of my servant Moses. 72 And I the Lord have preserved the literal seed of Abraham, and I know of them and will gather them out from among the nations into which I the Lord their God did cause that they shou ld be led, that the promise which I did make unto the Fathers might be fulfilled. 73 And I the Lord God have caused that the Jews also shou ld be preserved and that even though that they should be scattered among the nations in the which they have been as vagabond s without even a home that they should call their own, that I should m ove u p on the nations that they would become as nursing fathers and mothers unto them and carry them u p on their shou lders that they should be gathered back unto the Land of their fathers, yea even that land w h ich I the Lord their God did give unto Abraham and his seed forever. 74 For the Holy Ghost testifieth of me and beareth record of my works wherein are contained the true history of the earth u p on which thou standest. 75 And the gift of the Holy Ghost cometh by the laying on of the hand s of one w h o is anointed a n d sealed u n to this power and is contained within my Holy Order. 76 And the ord inances thereof have been the same in all ages of the world , and w ere administered unto Abraham by Melchizedec of whom it is written as being the Prince of Peace. 77 For he d id preach unto the inhabitants round about that they should repent of their evil ways and that they should also partake of Eternal Life by being obed ient unto the ordinances which were established for the same form before the foundation of the world, which ordinances are the gate spoken of and he that w ill not enter in by this gate but climbeth up some other way is cast out as a thief and a robber. 81
78 For by the power of mine authority which is w ithout beginning of days nor end of years, men are born again, and any other doctrine cometh of that evil one by whom the nations of the earth have been deceived. 79 And Salem , or Peace d id I cause that it shou ld be removed from off the earth in the days of Abraham, that I should take it up unto myself. 80 For the inhabitants thereof were one in heart and mind that they did see eye to eye with me that I the Lord their God cou ld no longer withhold myself from them. 81 And all who hearken unto these words which I have caused that they should be written shall receive of me also. 82 For, for this cause was he formed by my hand that through him all who are obed ient unto me through him will I receive unto myself in like manner. 83 For truly straight is the gate and narrow is the way, and few there be that find it. 84 And ye must strip yourselves of all pride and uncleanness and envyings and strife that I the Lord God not be offended when it is that I shall visit thee, O my people. 85 Yea hearken ye, unto the word which I the Lord God shall speak unto you from time to time, for in this manner have I the Lord God spoken unto the children of men in all ages of the world. 86 And some they have stoned, some they have crucified, and some they have sawn asunder, and have they not wandered in the caves and dens of the earth, being afflicted, tormented, of whom the world was not worthy, and all these things have I the Lord God suffered for I the Lord God so loved the world that I have given these gifts unto men for their salvation from death and pain and hell, and I gave mine Only Begotten also and w as he not also sm itten of them and afflicted of whom he would have saved to the uttermost, even as it is now w ith
SECTION 7. him whom I the Lord God have reserved to come forth even at this time that ye make not the same mistake as them of old, even in these things. 87 For I the Lord thy God am the same, yesterday, today and forever, and I change not but my gosple taught among men by the sons of God is it not the same as that taught by Noah, saith the Lord? 88 For mine Only Begotten Son did also show unto them of that generation the way by being baptized in the River Jordan, which baptism ye also, O man, must receive at the hand s of m ine anointed a s them of old , and ye shall be saved from hell even as them of old.
89 For if he w h o was without sin did have need to be baptized by immersion by him who is ordained as was John, how much more so, O man who art conceived in sin have need of baptism at the hand s of him whom I the Lord God have appointed , even my servant Art Bulla. 90 For thus saith the Lord , it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness, and ye must endure, even unto the end, even in these things. 91 A n d w ithout baptism , no man can see the kingdom of God, and receive even the baptism of fire and the Holy Ghost. 92 Even so. Amen. 1. 2 Nephi 10: 7-9.

THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST
SECTION 8.
Explanation of parable of sower given by revelation. What one must do to exercise true faith, sufficient to please the Father who has spoken unto me from out of the heavens, face to face, and the physical effects upon the body of this true faith [translation]. Word compared unto a seed. Expanded intelligence and other phenomenae associated with true faith. Process of translation explained. Received Sept, 1981.
hus saith the Lord unto those whom I the Lord have called by name, even He who came unto his own and his own received him not, even Jesus of Nazareth, Yea, give listen, O ye inhabitants of the earth, for am he that speaketh unto thee by the power of voice it, Yea it is I. 2 Yea, give listen that ye may escape that which shall shortly befall this generation which now standest upon the earth, for it is that the earth shortly shall not only shake, but the heavens also, that the stars shall they not ap p ear to fall from their places appointed unto them, that ye shall know that I am the Lord thy God who it is that doth speak unto thee, by the m ight and power of my Spirit? 3 For shall I not remove the earth upon which thou standest from its orbit, even by the might of my power in that day, that it may take up its track that it held before the fall of the Adam. 4 Even so, it is my will, saith the Lord, that ye hearken unto my words as they come unto thee in this manner, for so have they come in all ages of the world upon which thou standest. 5 Yea, murmur not, and say among yourselves that these things are too small, for it is that out of small things proceedeth forth that which is great.
6 For did I not speak while in my power among the Jews, that the Kingdom of Heaven is compared as to the grain of mustard seed? 7 And how small is a mustard seed, saith the Lord? 8 But it is that when the mustard, yea, even the p lant thereof, doth grow up, that the bird s of the air do loft in the branches thereof, which are mighty. 9 Even so it is with the Kingdom of God on the earth, if it so be that ye give p lace that a seed may be planted in your hearts, saith the Lord , for it is that the word which I, the Lord , speak unto thee in this day, is compared unto a seed. 10 For it was in the exp lanation thereof that I the Lord God, the mightiest of all, even Jesus Christ, d id give the parable which pertaineth unto the sower of the seed , yea, even of the word. 11 And now, saith the Lord , we will compare the word unto a seed that ye may understand my will unto you, O my people, in these the last days. 12 For it is if ye reject my words which come unto thee in this manner, saith the Lord, then it is that this whole generation shall be damned and shall not escape my wrath in this world , nor in the world to come, for unto what were ye created, if it be not to partake of my goodness, saith the Lord?
83
SECTION 8. 13 And these things shall be unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, saith the Lord God of Israel, if they repent not and come unto mine anointed and turn, even from their wicked way, saith the Lord. 14 Yea, there are many who do say: if thou will show unto us a sign from heaven, then we shall know of a surety and then we shall believe. 15 Yea it is a wicked and adulterous generation that seeketh for a sign that ye may believe, and d id I the Lord , the greatest and mightiest of all not say these things while in power among the Jews, and the Jews knew me not even as ye, ye w icked and perverse and faithless generation, do ye know of that One Mighty and Strong who even now standeth among you? 16 For ye are blinded by the cunning craftiness of the devil, in which he hath blinded you with those things which cannot endure, and are of no eternal substance. 17 For it is by the spirit that ye gain eternal life, saith the Lord, and what doth it profit, though a man or woman gain the whole world, and lose his or her own soul, saith the Lord? 18 Therefor, ju d ge ye, what is of most value unto thee O man, and O woman, lest ye perish w ith your substance which shall wax old and rust and d ecay, even as a garment that perisheth for the age and wear thereof. 19 And ye shall see signs, but not unto thy salvation, such as thy society, doth it not fall, before thy eyes, O stu p id man, and what greater sign can ye have that I am he that doth speak, even unto thy destruction, O man, even as before the flood? 20 Yea, ye see signs of the weather, and ye say the rain cometh, then how is it, O ye stu p id , reckless, and wicked generation, that ye cannot see thy death, as it doth even now hang over thy head, even as the conquerors sword? 21 Yea doth not all of nature cry, I am , yea, even the motions of the p lanets, do they not denote that I am?
84
22 Yea what meanest thou, O ignorant man? 23 And what power exists that can turn aside my wrath when it falleth upon thee, O man? 24 For I the Lord God am mighty beyond comprehension in the effortless fury which circumscribes my mighty arm which falleth upon the nations of the earth, even now that ye be thrashed and humbled that ye repent, that my wrath thereby be turned away, that ye perish not. 25 Are these not signs unto thee, O man, for doth thy life even now, doth it not hang in doubt before thy eyes, O man? 26 And did I, O Israel, not prophesy these things by the mouth of mine anointed in that day, even my servant, Moses?a 27 Yea, ye shall have signs ap lenty, but more unto thy destruction, O man, if ye turn not from thy evil way, which provoketh me, as in the days before the flood. 28 For ye shall behold, even thy destruction, as them before the flood , when it is that my mighty ones, who laugh and make merry with me come at thee, with my vengeance, that ye be ground, yea, even unto powder, and burned in that day in which more than twelve legions of my warriors shall reap d own, even the earth upon which thou standest. 29 For where is the disputer that there is a God in that day which shall burn, even as an oven, saith the Lord?b 30 Now of these things, ye must judge. 31 For it is that by what ju d gment, saith the Lord, that a man ju d geth, that he shall also be ju d ged , and it shall be unto every man, even according to his work. 32 And as I the Lord God did speak through the mouth of my servant Alma, the Prophet and H igh Priest among the Nephites, who is now w ith me, in the might of my power world s without end, of whom the Gentiles are ignorant: And now as I said concerning faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore,
THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen which are true. 33 And now, behold , I say unto you, and I would that ye shou ld remember, that God is mercifu l unto all who believe on his name; therefor he desireth, in the first place that ye should believe, even on his word. 34 And now, he imparteth his word by angels unto men, yea not only men, but women also. 35 Now this is not all; little children do have words given unto them many times which confound the wise the and the learned. 36 Now, as I said concerning faith that it was not a perfect know ledge, even so it is w ith my words. 37 Ye cannot know of their surety at first, unto perfection, any more than faith is a perfect knowledge. 38 But behold , if ye w ill awake and arouse your faculties, even to an experiment upon my words, and exercise a particle of faith, yea, even if ye can no more than desire to believe, let this desire work in you, even until ye believe in a manner that ye can give p lace for a portion of my words. 39 Now, as I said , we will compare the word unto a seed and it is that Evil One removeth the word, or the seed from the hearts of the children of men through anger or fear concerning the servants of the Lord , and the power which I the Lord have put into their hands. 40 Now if ye give p lace that a seed may be planted in your heart, and if it be a true seed, or a good seed , behold , it w ill begin to swell w ithin your breasts; and when ye feel these swelling motions, ye w ill begin to say w ithin yourselves: It must needs be that this is a good seed, or that the word is good, for it beginneth to enlarge my soul; yea, it beginneth to enlighten my understand ing, yea, it beginneth to be delicious to me.
41 Now behold, would not this increase your faith? 42 I say unto you, Yea; nevertheless it hath not grown up to a perfect knowledge. 43 But behold , as the seed swelleth and sprouteth and beginneth to grow , then you must needs say that the seed is good; for behold it swelleth and sprouteth and it doth enlarge my soul, and it beginneth to grow. And now, behold, are ye sure that this is a good seed? 44 I say unto you, Yea; for every seed bringeth forth unto its own likeness. 45 Therefor if a seed groweth it is good, but if it groweth not, behold it is not good, therefor it is cast away. 46 But if ye cast away the good seed , it is not because the seed was not good, saith the Lord, but it was because your ground was barren, that the seed, or the word could not get root. 47 Or it is that thy ground is good, but it is that the weeds which are the cares and worries of this world do arise and choke off the word, and thus the seed is overcome, not because it was not a good seed, but because ye were not w ise in the days of thy probation, or because of persecution, saith the Lord God of Israel, even Jesus Christ. 48 Therefor a seed that groweth, or one that doth edify thy soul is good, saith the Lord. 49 And it is my desire that ye be ed ified or strengthened, that ye live, saith the Lord. 50 And now, behold, because ye have tried the experiment, and planted the seed, and it swelleth and sprouteth and beginneth to grow, ye must needs know that the seed is good. 51 And now, behold is your knowledge perfect? 52 Yea, your knowledge is perfect in that things, and your faith is dormant; and this because ye know that the word hath swelled your sou ls, and ye also know that it hath sprouted up, that your understanding doth 85
SECTION 8. begin to be enlightened , and your mind d oth begin to expand. 53 O then, is this not real? 54 I say unto you, Yea, because it is light; and whatsoever is light is good, because it ed ifieth, saith the Lord, and doth thy soul good, because thy soul is strengthened that ye may live, which is my desire, saith the Lord. 55 And He that ascended up on high, as also he descended below all things, is he that comprehendeth all things, that he m ight be in all and through all things, the light of truth; which truth shineth. 56 This, saith the Lord, is the light of Christ. 57 As also he is in the sun, and the light of the sun, and power thereof by which it was made. 58 As also he is in the moon, and is the light of the moon, and the power thereof by which it was made; As also the light of the stars, and the power thereof by which they were made; and the earth also, and the power thereof, by which it was made even the earth upon which you stand. 59 For the foundation of matter, saith the Lord, is sp irit, and matter is controlled and handled upon principles which are spiritual in nature.c 60 And the light which shineth, which giveth you light, is through him who enlighteneth your eyes, which is the same light that quickeneth your understand ings; Which light proceedeth forth from the presence of God to fill the immensity of space, the light which is in all things, which giveth life to all things, which is the law by which all things are governed , even the power of God w h o sitteth u p on his throne, who is in the bosom of eternity, who is in the midst of all things. 61 And if your eye be single to my glory, saith the Lord, your whole bodies shall be filled with light, and there shall be no darkness in you, if it so be that ye are obed ient unto mine ordinances, and that body which is filled w ith light becometh a body Celestial which is
compared to the sun in the glory thereof, and that body comprehendeth all things, saith the Lord. 62 For behold after it is that ye have exercised your faith to plant the seed that ye have begun to taste of the light, ye must not lay aside your faith, saith the Lord, for ye have only tried the experiment to know if the seed was good. 63 For behold, as the tree beginneth to grow, ye will say: Let us nourish it with great care, that it may get root, that it may grow up, and bring forth fruit unto us. 64 And now behold, if ye nourish it with much care it w ill get root, and grow up, and bring forth much fruit. 65 But if ye neglect the tree, and take no thought for its nourishment, behold it w ill not get any root; and when the heat of the sun cometh and scorcheth it, because it hath not root it w ithers away, and ye pluck it up and cast it out as of no worth unto thy soul. 66 And the heat of the sun is the cares of this world and the persecution of the wicked, which surely shall come, saith the Lord God of Israel. 67 For is the servant greater than his master, saith the Lord? 68 For if they persecuted me, they w ill persecute your also. 69 And it shall be that a man or woman’s enem ies shall be them of his own household , because of the word. 70 But if ye will nourish the word, yea, nourish the tree as it beginneth to grow, by your faith with great diligence, and with patience, looking forward to the fruit thereof, it shall take root; and behold it shall be a tree or a well of water, as I the Lord God said it unto my disciples, springing up unto everlasting life. 71 And thus were they translated , for the physical effect upon their bod ies was of such magnitude, saith the Lord, that they overcame the fall and were edified and strengthened by the spirit and its swelling motions that death and the effects thereof were annulled, saith the Lord.

THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST beloved disciple, John, even surnamed the Revelator, who visited that One mighty and strong and was his friend while still a young man, and taught him from me, even his Lord and Saviour, even Jesus the Christ 74 Even so. Amen and Amen, and praise and honor and glory be unto my Father forever world s without end.
72 And it is in this manner, by exercising your faith that ye are translated , even as Enoch d and Melchizedec and Elijah of old, as well as Alma and Moses, were they also not taken up into heaven where I am that they should not taste of death, that where I am, ye may be also, saith the Lord, if ye are obedient unto the dictates of my righteous servant, and overcome, even the fall and death and hell.

REVELATION ON FATE OF HEATHEN NATIONS
Revelation on fate of so-called heathen nations and the reasons why such great distress among these nations. Reward of these nations greater in resurrection for suffering. Apostasy of fathers thereof from Shem who is Melchizedec and Noah, Shem’s father. Revelation given to comfort one who had personally observed starving in India. Judgment according to opportunity for acquiring truth. Received October, 1981. . ea, thus saith the Lord unto my servant Walter, thou art called w ith an holy calling, yea thou art favored of the Most H igh God , even that Holy One unto whom thou hast given obiescance. 2 Therefor, thou shallt be called counselor, and Apostle and prophet unto the Lord Jesus Christ, for this calling and ordinance w ill I give unto thee as thou art prepared in all holiness before me to receive. 3 Yea, thus saith the Lord unto my righteous servant, ask and ye shall receive, knock and it
shall be opened unto you, but as for my servant, I have chosen him from before the foundation of the world to do my work, and ye shall receive his words unto youward as if from m ine own mouth, for whether by mine own mouth or the mouth of my servants, it is the same, saith the Lord God of Israel. 4 For I am that God w h o it is that spake unto my servants Abraham, and Jacob and am the only true God, even of Israel, my chosen, from whom all of the fam ilies of the earth have derived their inheritance, and from whom these same fam ilies have strayed or departed 87
SECTION 9. therefrom in their observances even from the beginning of time, saith the Lord , unto that which is an abomination in my sight. 5 Nevertheless, I the Lord have in my mercy unto these who are also my children given a portion of that truth which is pure and undefiled and that verily is right before me, even that it shou ld come also unto them, saith the Lord God of Israel. 6 For I the Lord God am no respecter of persons and have given unto all nations of the children of men and have raised u p m y servants among them that they should teach them also of me and have given unto them that portion of the way which it is that they should receive. 7 But unto those who receive me, saith the Lord, shall be given yea, even all things, for all things w ill I reveal unto them, saith the Lord , and that truth which is pure and unsullied will I give unto them. 8 And these things shall be given by the power and authority of my Sp irit which it is that revealeth all truth that cometh from me, saith the Lord , and he that receiveth me, receiveth my Father. 9 Therefor this commandment I give unto you that inasm u ch as you receive instru ction from him unto whom is appointed this power, (for there is but one at any One time who holdeth the keys of these things, even those of the eternal lives spoken of) the blessings of immortality, honor, power, might and glory shall be ad d ed upon thy head, worlds without end, for of thine increase there shall be no end, if ye hearken unto me and unto those words which I shall speak from time to time, through the med ium of mine appointment, which is after the Order of Melchizedec, which is after the Order of Enoch of Old. 10 And it is from the Holy Order and the ordinances thereof that the nations of the earth have departed in their generations and have
apostacized from that truth which was taught unto them in sim p licity and plainness in the which they could not err. 11 And thus it is that I will visit the sins of the children upon the heads of the fathers, for unto them is the greater condemnation for they, even they d id sin against the greater light, and d id turn aside from that which was right before me and depart unto that which has been their hurt. 12 For ye, my son, have seen of their affliction and have been moved w ith compassion upon them and would that it could be removed. 13 But all things will I the Lord make up unto them who suffer in the flesh, for it shall be tolerable unto these nations in their resurrection from the dead, which resurrection shall come unto all men through the atonement which I did make yea, even for all men, for greater love hath no man than this, that a man should lay his life down for his friends. 14 But it was that in that pre-existent state, in the which they were spirits, even before the world was, it was made known unto them that which they would suffer in the flesh that thereby they might obtain so great a rest, yea, even world s without end will I the Lord God feed them. 15 And these who were spirits had their agency in that day and they did vote and agree that these things should be. 16 And that they might have obtained the greater light d id I the Lord God send mine Apostles unto them that they too might have been recovered. 17 For their fathers in their w ickedness departed from them of Old w h o were also appointed unto this power: 18 Even from their father Noah as well as Shem who was Melchizedec, and Eber who were ordained in the manner spoken of by the hands of the fathers unto mine Holy Order which is without beginning of days nor end of years and is the means by which the power of Godliness is 88
THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST manifest unto men in the flesh and without which no man can see the face of God the Father and live; 19 And also Adam, who is without beginning or end, for there are many, who is the father of the spirits of men and also the body of the Only Begotten after his translation after the first council at Adam-Ondai-Ahman, saith the Lord God , and Eloheim, or the Ancients who are Gods and the Grand Council thereof. 20 For Adam, which meaneth Man in the Hebrew tongue, was he not a resurrected man from another world and a part of the Council, that He should also become the Father of the Only Begotten in the flesh, saith the Lord? 21 And unto those who partake of mine ord inances through the med ium of mine anointed, which calling and ordination my servant doth hold for time and all eternity, for he shall sit down even at my right hand , and verily thus saith the Lord , shall be w ith me in my glory, and unto those who call themselves after my name having received of these things, will I the Lord God give all things that where I am they may be also, that we may be one even as I and the Father are one. 22 For the things of heaven shall descend and the things of earth shall receive them, even that of the City of Enoch which were taught the ordinances and laws of heaven according to the power which is encompassed within mine Order, which is after the Order of Melchizedec, which holdeth the keys of all things and is the medium through which that which is to be received is dispensed unto the chil-dren of men. 23 And there is no other name given whereby the sons of men may be saved from that which is to come, yea even such destruction as has not
been know among the children of men before nor will be known since. 24 For I the Lord thy God am also Priest after the Order of Melchizedec. 25 And no man taketh this honor unto himself, except he is called and ordained as was Aaron, the great H igh Priest, from whom the children of Israel received their dispensation. 26 Even so, come unto me and learn of my ways, and I will give unto you, even as many as shall come, that peace which surpasseth understanding, and if ye shall inquire of me concerning these things, w ill I the Lord manifest by the influence and p ower of the Holy Ghost that these things are verily true and are of me, saith the Lord. 27 I am Jesus Christ who wast slain from before the foundation of the world and have drunk out of that bitter cup which the Father did give unto me, and have done the will of him from the beginning. 28 And thou shallt be his spokesman and shall be his mouthpiece, for I have not made him mighty in speaking, but this talent have I given unto thee that thou mayest glorify me of whom it is written that I shall utter my voice and that earth upon which thou standest shall shake. 29 A n d I th e Lord call thee u n t o m ine Apostleship , th a t y e m a y b e a r r e cord o f me u n t o m e n t h a t a ll m a y b e e d ified together. 30 Even so, I th e Lord G o d h a v e s p o k e n i t . 31 For t h y s p irit also w a st held b a ck that t h o u s h o u ldest come forth at this time for t h o u a lso w a s w i t h m e f r o m t h e b e g i n n i n g a n d t h o u v e r ily w a st m y frien d b e fore the w o r ld w as. 32 A n d h e t h a t is the greatest in the kingd o m o f h e a v e n m u s t b e t h e l e a s t a n d t h e s e r v a n t o f all.
