Speaker 1: Third Neyphi, chapter eighteen. And it came to pass that
0:05
Speaker 1: Jesus commanded his disciples that they should bring forth some
0:08
Speaker 1: bread and wine unto him. And while they were gone
0:11
Speaker 1: for bread and wine, he commanded the multitude that they
0:14
Speaker 1: should sit themselves down upon the earth. And when the
0:17
Speaker 1: disciples had come with bread and wine, he took of
0:20
Speaker 1: the bread and brake and blessed it. And he gave
0:23
Speaker 1: unto the disciples and commanded that they should eat. And
0:27
Speaker 1: when they had eaten and were filled, he commanded that
0:29
Speaker 1: they should give unto the multitude. And when the multitude
0:34
Speaker 1: had eaten and were filled, he said unto the disciples, Behold,
0:39
Speaker 1: there shall one be ordained among you, And to him
0:41
Speaker 1: will I give power, that he shall break bread and
0:44
Speaker 1: bless it and give it unto the people of my church,
0:46
Speaker 1: unto all those who shall believe and be baptized in
0:49
Speaker 1: my name. And this shall ye always observe to do,
0:53
Speaker 1: even as I have done, even as I have broken
0:55
Speaker 1: bread and blessed it and given it unto you. And
0:59
Speaker 1: this shall ye do in remembrance of my body, which
1:02
Speaker 1: I have shown unto you. And it shall be a
1:04
Speaker 1: testimony unto the Father that ye do always remember me,
1:08
Speaker 1: And if ye do always remember me, ye shall have
1:11
Speaker 1: my spirit to be with you. And it came to
1:14
Speaker 1: pass that when he said these words, he commanded his
1:17
Speaker 1: disciples that they should take of the wine of the
1:19
Speaker 1: cup and drink of it, and that they should also
1:22
Speaker 1: give unto the multitude, that they might drink of it.
1:27
Speaker 1: And it came to pass that they did so, and
1:29
Speaker 1: did drink of it and were filled. And they gave
1:32
Speaker 1: unto the multitude, and they did drink, and they were filled.
1:36
Speaker 1: And when the disciples had done this, Jesus said unto them,
1:40
Speaker 1: blessed or ye for this thing which ye have done.
1:43
Speaker 1: For this is fulfilling my commandments. And this doth witness
1:48
Speaker 1: unto the Father that ye are willing to do that
1:51
Speaker 1: which I have commanded you. And this shall ye always
1:55
Speaker 1: do to those who repent and are baptized in my name.
1:59
Speaker 1: And ye shall do it in remembrance of my blood
2:01
Speaker 1: which I have shed for you, that ye may witness
2:04
Speaker 1: unto the Father, that ye do always remember me. And
2:08
Speaker 1: if ye do always remember me, ye shall have my
2:11
Speaker 1: spirit to be with you. And I give unto you
2:15
Speaker 1: a commandment that ye shall do these things. And if
2:19
Speaker 1: ye shall always do these things. Blessed are ye, for
2:22
Speaker 1: ye are built upon my rock. But whoso among you
2:26
Speaker 1: shall do more or less than these are not built
2:29
Speaker 1: upon my rock, but are built upon a sandy foundation.
2:34
Speaker 1: And when the rain descends, and the floods come, and
2:37
Speaker 1: the winds blow and beat upon them, they shall fall,
2:41
Speaker 1: and the gates of Hell are ready open to receive them. Therefore,
2:46
Speaker 1: blessed are ye, if ye shall keep my commandments, which
2:49
Speaker 1: the Father hath commanded me that I should give unto you. Verily, verily,
2:54
Speaker 1: I say unto you, ye must watch and pray always,
2:58
Speaker 1: lest ye be tempted by the day, and ye be
3:00
Speaker 1: led away captive by him. And as I have prayed
3:04
Speaker 1: among you, even so shall ye pray in my church
3:07
Speaker 1: among my people who do repent and are baptized in
3:10
Speaker 1: my name. Behold, I am the Light. I have set
3:14
Speaker 1: an example for you. And it came to pass that
3:17
Speaker 1: when Jesus had spoken these words unto his disciples, he
3:21
Speaker 1: turned again unto the multitude and said unto them. Behold, Verily,
3:27
Speaker 1: verily I say unto you, ye must watch and pray always,
3:31
Speaker 1: lest ye enter into temptation, for Satan desires to have
3:35
Speaker 1: you that he may sift you as wheat. Therefore ye
3:39
Speaker 1: must always pray unto the Father in my name. And
3:43
Speaker 1: whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, which
3:46
Speaker 1: is right, believing that ye shall receive. Behold, it shall
3:51
Speaker 1: be given unto you. Pray in your families unto the
3:55
Speaker 1: Father always in my name, that your wives and your
3:59
Speaker 1: children and may be blessed. And behold, ye shall meet
4:03
Speaker 1: together oft. And ye shall not forbid any man from
4:07
Speaker 1: coming unto you when ye shall meet together, but suffer
4:11
Speaker 1: them that they may come unto you, and forbid them not.
4:14
Speaker 1: But ye shall pray for them, and shall not cast
4:17
Speaker 1: them out. And if it so be that they come
4:19
Speaker 1: unto you oft, ye shall pray for them unto the
4:22
Speaker 1: Father in my name. Therefore, hold up your light that
4:27
Speaker 1: it may shine unto the world. Behold, I am the
4:31
Speaker 1: light which ye shall hold up, that which ye have
4:34
Speaker 1: seen me do Behold. Ye see that I have prayed
4:37
Speaker 1: unto the Father, and ye all have witnessed. And ye
4:41
Speaker 1: see that I have commanded that none of you should
4:43
Speaker 1: go away, but rather have commanded that ye should come
4:46
Speaker 1: unto me, that ye might feel and see. Even so
4:51
Speaker 1: shall ye do unto the world and whosoever breaketh this
4:54
Speaker 1: commandment suffereth himself to be led into temptation. And now
5:00
Speaker 1: it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken these words,
5:03
Speaker 1: he turned his eyes again upon the disciples whom he
5:07
Speaker 1: had chosen, and said, unto them, Behold, verily, verily, I
5:12
Speaker 1: say unto you, I give unto you another commandment. And
5:15
Speaker 1: then I must go unto my Father, that I may
5:18
Speaker 1: fulfill other commandments which he hath given me. And now behold,
5:24
Speaker 1: this is the commandment which I give unto you, that
5:27
Speaker 1: ye shall not suffer any one knowingly to partake of
5:30
Speaker 1: my flesh and blood unworthily, when ye shall minister it.
5:35
Speaker 1: For whoso eateth and drinketh my flesh and blood unworthily
5:39
Speaker 1: eateth and drinketh damnation to his soul. Therefore, if ye
5:43
Speaker 1: know that a man is unworthy to eat and drink
5:46
Speaker 1: of my flesh and blood, ye shall forbid him. Nevertheless,
5:51
Speaker 1: ye shall not cast him out from among you, but
5:53
Speaker 1: ye shall minister unto him, and shall pray for him
5:57
Speaker 1: unto the Father in my name. And if it so
5:59
Speaker 1: be that he repenteth and is baptized in my name,
6:03
Speaker 1: then shall ye receive him. And shall minister unto him
6:06
Speaker 1: of my flesh and blood. But if he repent not,
6:10
Speaker 1: he shall not be numbered among my people, that he
6:14
Speaker 1: may not destroy my people. For behold, I know my sheep,
6:17
Speaker 1: and they are numbered. Nevertheless, ye shall not cast him
6:21
Speaker 1: out of your synagogues or your places of worship. For
6:25
Speaker 1: unto such shall ye continue to minister. For ye know
6:28
Speaker 1: not but what they will return and repent and come
6:31
Speaker 1: unto me with full purpose of heart. And I shall
6:33
Speaker 1: heal them, and ye shall be the means of bringing
6:36
Speaker 1: salvation unto them. Therefore, keep these sayings which I have
6:40
Speaker 1: commanded you, that ye come not under condemnation, for woe
6:45
Speaker 1: unto him whom the Father condemneth. And I give unto
6:49
Speaker 1: you these commandments because of the disputations which have been
6:53
Speaker 1: among you. And blessed are ye if ye have no
6:56
Speaker 1: disputations among you. And now by going to the Father,
7:01
Speaker 1: because it is expedient that I should go into the
7:03
Speaker 1: Father for your sakes. And it came to pass that
7:06
Speaker 1: when Jesus had made an end of these sayings, he
7:09
Speaker 1: touched with his hand the disciples whom he had chosen,
7:12
Speaker 1: one by one, even until he had touched them all.
7:16
Speaker 1: And spake unto them as he touched them, And the
7:19
Speaker 1: multitude heard not the words which he spake. Therefore they
7:23
Speaker 1: did not bear record. But the disciples bear record that
7:27
Speaker 1: he gave them power to give the Holy ghost. And
7:30
Speaker 1: I was show unto you hereafter that this record is true.
7:34
Speaker 1: And it came to pass that when Jesus had touched
7:37
Speaker 1: them all there came a cloud that overshadowed the multitude,
7:40
Speaker 1: that they could not see Jesus. And while they were overshadowed,
7:44
Speaker 1: he departed from them and ascended into heaven. And the
7:48
Speaker 1: disciples saw and bear record that he ascended again into
7:52
Speaker 1: heaven thirty five, chapter nineteen. And now it came to
7:58
Speaker 1: pass that when Jesus had ascended into heaven, the multitude
8:02
Speaker 1: did disperse, and every man did take his wife and
8:05
Speaker 1: his children, and did return to his own home. And
8:10
Speaker 1: it was noised abroad among the people immediately before it
8:13
Speaker 1: was yet dark, that the multitude had seen Jesus, and
8:17
Speaker 1: that he'd ministered unto them, and that he would also
8:20
Speaker 1: show himself on the morrow unto the multitude. Yea, And
8:25
Speaker 1: even all the night it was noised abroad concerning Jesus.
8:29
Speaker 1: And insomuch did they send forth unto the people, that
8:32
Speaker 1: there were many, yea, an exceedingly great number. Did labor
8:35
Speaker 1: exceedingly all that night, that they might be on the
8:39
Speaker 1: morrow in the place where Jesus should show himself unto
8:42
Speaker 1: the multitude. And it came to pass that on the morrow,
8:45
Speaker 1: when the multitude was gathered together, behold Nephi and his
8:49
Speaker 1: brother whom he had raised from the dead, whose name
8:51
Speaker 1: was Timothy, and also his son, whose name was Jonas,
8:55
Speaker 1: And also Mathonae and Mathoniha his brother and Cumen and
9:00
Speaker 1: who men on high, and Jeremiah and Shemnon, and Jonas,
9:04
Speaker 1: and Zedekiah and Isaiah. Now these were the names of
9:08
Speaker 1: the disciples whom Jesus had chosen. And it came to
9:11
Speaker 1: pass that they went forth and stood in the midst
9:13
Speaker 1: of the multitude. And behold, the multitude was so great
9:17
Speaker 1: that they did cause that they should be separated into
9:19
Speaker 1: twelve bodies. And the twelve did teach the multitude. And behold,
9:25
Speaker 1: they did cause that the multitude should kneel down upon
9:28
Speaker 1: the face of the earth, and should pray unto the
9:31
Speaker 1: Father in the name of Jesus. And the disciples did
9:34
Speaker 1: pray unto the Father. Also in the name of Jesus.
9:37
Speaker 1: And it came to pass that they arose and ministered
9:40
Speaker 1: unto the people. And when they administered those same words
9:44
Speaker 1: which Jesus had spoken, nothing varying from the words which
9:48
Speaker 1: Jesus had spoken. Behold, they knelt again and prayed to
9:51
Speaker 1: the Father in the name of Jesus. And they did
9:54
Speaker 1: pray for that which they most desired, and they desired
9:58
Speaker 1: that the Holy Ghost should be given unto them. And
10:01
Speaker 1: when they had thus prayed, they went down unto the
10:03
Speaker 1: water's edge, and the multitude followed them. And it came
10:07
Speaker 1: to pass that Nephi went down into the water and
10:10
Speaker 1: was baptized. And he came up out of the water
10:13
Speaker 1: and began to baptize, and he baptized all those whom
10:17
Speaker 1: Jesus had chosen. And it came to pass when they
10:21
Speaker 1: were all baptized and had come up out of the water,
10:24
Speaker 1: the Holy Ghost did fall upon them, and they were
10:27
Speaker 1: filled with the Holy Ghost and with fire. And behold,
10:31
Speaker 1: they were encircled about as if it were by fire.
10:34
Speaker 1: And it came down from heaven, and the multitude did
10:38
Speaker 1: witness it and did bear record, and angels did come
10:42
Speaker 1: down out of heaven and administer unto them. And it
10:45
Speaker 1: came to pass that while the angels were ministering unto
10:48
Speaker 1: the disciples, Behold, Jesus came and stood in the midst
10:51
Speaker 1: and ministered unto them. And it came to pass that
10:55
Speaker 1: he spake into the multitude and commanded them that they
10:58
Speaker 1: should kneel down again upon the earth, and also that
11:02
Speaker 1: his disciples should kneel down upon the earth. And it
11:05
Speaker 1: came to pass that when they had all knelt down
11:07
Speaker 1: upon the earth, he commanded his disciples that they should pray.
11:11
Speaker 1: And behold, they began to pray, and they did pray
11:14
Speaker 1: unto Jesus, calling him their Lord and their God. And
11:20
Speaker 1: it came to pass that Jesus departed out of the
11:22
Speaker 1: midst of them, and went a little way off from them,
11:24
Speaker 1: and bowed himself to the earth. And he said, Father,
11:30
Speaker 1: I thank THEE that thou hast given the Holy Ghost
11:33
Speaker 1: unto these whom I have chosen. And it is because
11:36
Speaker 1: of their belief in me that I have chosen them
11:39
Speaker 1: out of the world. Father, I pray THEE that thou
11:43
Speaker 1: wilt give the Holy Ghost unto all them that shall
11:46
Speaker 1: believe in their words. Father, thou hast given them the
11:50
Speaker 1: Holy Ghost, because they believe in me, and Thou seest
11:54
Speaker 1: that they believe in me, because Thou hearest them, and
11:57
Speaker 1: they pray unto me, and they pray unto me, because
12:00
Speaker 1: as I am with them, and now Father, I pray
12:03
Speaker 1: unto THEE for them, and also for all those who
12:06
Speaker 1: shall believe on their words, that they may believe in me,
12:10
Speaker 1: that I may be in them, as thou Father art
12:13
Speaker 1: in me, that we may be one. And it came
12:17
Speaker 1: to pass that when Jesus had thus prayed unto the Father,
12:21
Speaker 1: he came unto his disciples. And behold, they did still continue,
12:24
Speaker 1: without ceasing to pray unto him. And they did not
12:28
Speaker 1: multiply many words, for it was given unto them what
12:31
Speaker 1: they should pray. And they were filled with desire. And
12:35
Speaker 1: it came to pass that Jesus blessed them as they
12:38
Speaker 1: did pray unto him, and his countenance did smile upon them,
12:42
Speaker 1: and the light of his countenance did shine upon them.
12:45
Speaker 1: And behold, they were as white as the countenance and
12:48
Speaker 1: also the garments of Jesus. And behold, the whiteness thereof
12:51
Speaker 1: did exceed all the whiteness. Yea, even there could be
12:55
Speaker 1: nothing upon the earth, so white as the whiteness thereof,
12:59
Speaker 1: And ye said unto them, pray on. Nevertheless, they did
13:03
Speaker 1: not cease to pray. And he turned from them again
13:06
Speaker 1: and went a little way off, and bowed himself to
13:09
Speaker 1: the earth, and he prayed again unto the Father, saying, Father,
13:13
Speaker 1: I thank thee that thou hast purified those whom I
13:16
Speaker 1: have chosen because of their faith. And I pray for them,
13:20
Speaker 1: and also for them who shall believe on their words,
13:23
Speaker 1: that they may be purified in me through faith on
13:26
Speaker 1: their words, even as they are purified in me. Father,
13:29
Speaker 1: I pray not for the world, but for those whom
13:32
Speaker 1: thou hast given me out of the world because of
13:35
Speaker 1: their faith, that they may be purified in me, that
13:39
Speaker 1: I may be in them, as thou Father art in me,
13:42
Speaker 1: that we may be one, that I may be glorified
13:45
Speaker 1: in them. And when Jesus had spoken these words, he
13:49
Speaker 1: came again unto his disciples, And behold, they did pray steadfastly,
13:55
Speaker 1: without ceasing unto him. And he did smile upon them again,
13:59
Speaker 1: and behold, old they were white even as Jesus. And
14:03
Speaker 1: it came to pass that he went again a little
14:05
Speaker 1: way off and prayed unto the Father, and tongue cannot
14:09
Speaker 1: speak the words which he prayed. Neither can be written
14:13
Speaker 1: by man the words which he prayed, and the multitude
14:16
Speaker 1: did hear and do bear record, and their hearts were open,
14:21
Speaker 1: and they did understand in their hearts the words which
14:24
Speaker 1: he prayed. Nevertheless, so great and marvelous were the words
14:29
Speaker 1: which he prayed, that they cannot be written, neither can
14:33
Speaker 1: they be uttered by man. And it came to pass
14:36
Speaker 1: that when Jesus had made an end of praying, he
14:39
Speaker 1: came again to the disciples and said, unto them, so
14:44
Speaker 1: great faith have I never seen among all the Jews.
14:48
Speaker 1: Wherefore I could not show unto them so great miracles
14:51
Speaker 1: because of their unbelief. Verily, I say unto you, there
14:56
Speaker 1: are none of them that have seen so great things
14:59
Speaker 1: as ye have seen. Neither have they heard so great
15:02
Speaker 1: things as ye have heard. Third Nephi, Chapter twenty. And
15:09
Speaker 1: it came to pass that he commanded the multitude that
15:12
Speaker 1: they should cease to pray, and also his disciples, and
15:14
Speaker 1: he commanded them that they should not cease to pray
15:16
Speaker 1: in their hearts. And he commanded them that they should
15:20
Speaker 1: arise and stand up upon their feet, and they arose
15:23
Speaker 1: up and stood upon their feet. And it came to
15:26
Speaker 1: pass that he breke bread again and blessed it, and
15:29
Speaker 1: gave it to the disciples to eat. And when they
15:32
Speaker 1: had eaten, he commanded them that they should break bread
15:36
Speaker 1: and give un to the multitude. And when they had
15:38
Speaker 1: given unto the multitude, he also gave them wine to drink,
15:41
Speaker 1: and commanded them that they should give unto the multitude.
15:45
Speaker 1: Now there had been no bread, neither wine brought by
15:48
Speaker 1: the disciples, neither by the multitude. But he truly gave
15:52
Speaker 1: unto them bread to eat, and also wine to drink.
15:56
Speaker 1: And he said unto them, he that eateth this bread,
15:59
Speaker 1: eateth of my body to his soul. And he that
16:02
Speaker 1: drinketh of this wine drinketh of my blood to his soul.
16:06
Speaker 1: And his soul shall never hunger nor thirst, but shall
16:10
Speaker 1: be filled. Now, when the multitude had all eaten and drunk, behold,
16:14
Speaker 1: they were filled with the spirit. And they did cry
16:17
Speaker 1: out with one voice and gave glory to Jesus, whom
16:21
Speaker 1: they both saw and heard. And it came to pass
16:24
Speaker 1: that when they had all given glory unto Jesus, he
16:26
Speaker 1: said unto them Behold, now I finish the commandment which
16:30
Speaker 1: the Father Hath commanded me concerning this people, who are
16:34
Speaker 1: a remnant of the House of Israel. Ye remember that
16:38
Speaker 1: I spake unto you and said that when the words
16:41
Speaker 1: of Isaiah should be fulfilled, behold they are written. Ye
16:45
Speaker 1: have them before you. Therefore search them, And very verily
16:48
Speaker 1: I say unto you that when they shall be fulfilled,
16:51
Speaker 1: then is the fulfilling of the covenant which the Father
16:54
Speaker 1: hath made unto his people, O house of Israel. And
16:58
Speaker 1: then shall the remnants, which shall be scattered abroad upon
17:01
Speaker 1: the face of the earth, be gathered in from the east,
17:04
Speaker 1: and from the west, and from the south and from
17:06
Speaker 1: the north, and they shall be brought to the knowledge
17:09
Speaker 1: of the Lord their God, who hath redeemed them. And
17:13
Speaker 1: the Father Hath commanded me that I should give unto
17:16
Speaker 1: you this land for your inheritance. And I say unto
17:19
Speaker 1: you that if the gentiles do not repent after the
17:22
Speaker 1: blessing which they shall receive, after they have scattered my people,
17:27
Speaker 1: then shall ye who are a remnant of the House
17:29
Speaker 1: of Jacob, go forth among them, and ye shall be
17:33
Speaker 1: in the midst of them, who shall be many and
17:36
Speaker 1: ye shall be among them, as a lion among the
17:38
Speaker 1: beasts of the forest, and as a young lion among
17:41
Speaker 1: the flocks of the sheep, who if he goeth through
17:45
Speaker 1: both treadeth down and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.
17:50
Speaker 1: Thy hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and
17:53
Speaker 1: all thine enemies shall be cut off. And I will
17:56
Speaker 1: gather my people together as a man gathereth his sheaves
17:59
Speaker 1: into the floor. For I will make my people with
18:02
Speaker 1: whom the Father hath covenanted. Yea, I will make thy
18:06
Speaker 1: horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass, And
18:09
Speaker 1: thou shalt beat in peaces many people, and I will
18:13
Speaker 1: consecrate their gain unto the Lord, and their substance unto
18:16
Speaker 1: the Lord of the whole earth. And behold, I am
18:19
Speaker 1: he who doeth it. And it shall come to pass,
18:22
Speaker 1: saith the Father, that the sword of My justice shall
18:25
Speaker 1: hang over them at that day, and except they repent,
18:29
Speaker 1: it shall fall upon them, Saith the Father, Yea, even
18:33
Speaker 1: upon all the nations of the Gentiles. And it shall
18:36
Speaker 1: come to pass that I will establish my people o
18:39
Speaker 1: house of Israel. And behold this people will I establish
18:43
Speaker 1: in this land unto the fulfilling of the covenant which
18:46
Speaker 1: I made with your father, Jacob. And it shall be
18:50
Speaker 1: a new Jerusalem, and the powers of Heaven shall be
18:53
Speaker 1: in the midst of this people. Yea, even I will
18:56
Speaker 1: be in the midst of you. Behold, I am he
18:59
Speaker 1: of whom Moses spake, saying a prophet. Shall the Lord
19:03
Speaker 1: your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like
19:07
Speaker 1: unto me? Him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever
19:10
Speaker 1: he shall say unto you. And it shall come to
19:13
Speaker 1: pass that every soul who will not hear that prophet
19:16
Speaker 1: shall be cut off from among the people. Verily I
19:21
Speaker 1: say unto you, yea. And all the prophets from Samuel
19:25
Speaker 1: in those that follow after, as many as have spoken,
19:28
Speaker 1: have testified of me. And behold, ye are the children
19:33
Speaker 1: of the prophets. And year of the House of Israel,
19:37
Speaker 1: and year of the covenant which the Father made with
19:40
Speaker 1: your fathers saying unto Abraham, and in thy seed shall
19:44
Speaker 1: all the kindreds of the earth be blessed, the Father
19:48
Speaker 1: having raised me up unto you first and sent me
19:51
Speaker 1: to bless you in turning away every one of you
19:54
Speaker 1: from his iniquities. And this because ye are the children
19:57
Speaker 1: of the Covenant. And after the at Ye were blest,
20:01
Speaker 1: then fulfilleth the Father the covenant which he made with Abraham, saying,
20:06
Speaker 1: in thy seed, shall all the kindreds of the earth
20:09
Speaker 1: be blest unto the pouring out of the Holy Ghost
20:11
Speaker 1: through Me upon the Gentiles, which blessing upon the Gentiles
20:16
Speaker 1: shall make them mighty above all unto the scattering of
20:20
Speaker 1: my people, O house of Israel, and they shall be
20:24
Speaker 1: a scourge unto the people of this land. Nevertheless, when
20:28
Speaker 1: they shall have received the fullness of my gospel, then
20:31
Speaker 1: if they shall harden their hearts against me, I will
20:33
Speaker 1: return their iniquities upon their own heads, saith the Father.
20:38
Speaker 1: And I will remember the covenant which I have made
20:40
Speaker 1: with my people, and I have covenanted with them, that
20:44
Speaker 1: I would gather them together in mine own due time,
20:47
Speaker 1: that I would give unto them again the land of
20:50
Speaker 1: their fathers for their inheritance, which is the land of Jerusalem,
20:54
Speaker 1: which is the promised land unto them forever, saith the Father.
21:00
Speaker 1: And it shall come to pass that the time cometh
21:02
Speaker 1: when the fullness of my gospel shall be preached unto them,
21:06
Speaker 1: and they shall believe in me that I am Jesus Christ,
21:10
Speaker 1: the Son of God, and shall pray unto the Father
21:13
Speaker 1: in my name. Then shall their watchmen lift up their voice,
21:17
Speaker 1: and with the voice together shall they sing, for they
21:20
Speaker 1: shall see eye to eye. Then will the Father gather
21:23
Speaker 1: them together again and give unto them Jerusalem for the
21:26
Speaker 1: land of their inheritance. Then shall they break forth into joy,
21:31
Speaker 1: sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem. For the Father
21:35
Speaker 1: hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem. The Father
21:39
Speaker 1: hath made bare his holy arm. In the eyes of
21:41
Speaker 1: all the nations, and all the ends of the earth
21:45
Speaker 1: shall see the salvation of the Father. And the Father
21:48
Speaker 1: and I are one. And then shall be brought to
21:51
Speaker 1: pass that which is written. Awake, awake again, and put
21:55
Speaker 1: on thy strength, O Zion, Put on thy beautiful garments,
21:59
Speaker 1: O Jerusalem, the Holy City, For henceforth there shall no
22:04
Speaker 1: more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean. Shake
22:09
Speaker 1: thyself from the dust, arise, sit down, O Jerusalem. Loose
22:13
Speaker 1: thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter
22:16
Speaker 1: of Zion. For thus saith the Lord, ye have sold
22:20
Speaker 1: yourselves for naught, and ye shall be redeemed without money verily, verily,
22:27
Speaker 1: I say unto you, that my people shall know my name. Yea,
22:32
Speaker 1: in that day they shall know that I am he
22:35
Speaker 1: that doth speak. And then shall they say, how beautiful
22:39
Speaker 1: upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth
22:41
Speaker 1: good tidings unto them that publisheth peace, that bringeth good
22:47
Speaker 1: tidings unto them of good, that publisheth salvation, that saith
22:51
Speaker 1: unto Zion, Thy God reigneth. And then shall a cry,
22:56
Speaker 1: go forth, depart, ye depart ye go ye out from
23:00
Speaker 1: thence touch not that which is unclean, Go ye out
23:04
Speaker 1: of the midst of her be ye clean that bear
23:07
Speaker 1: the vessels of the Lord. For ye shall not go
23:09
Speaker 1: out with haste, nor go by flight. For the Lord
23:13
Speaker 1: will go before you, and the God of Israel shall
23:17
Speaker 1: be your rearward. Behold, my servant shall deal prudently. He
23:22
Speaker 1: shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high. As
23:26
Speaker 1: many were astonished at thee his visage was so marred
23:29
Speaker 1: more than any man, and his form more than the
23:32
Speaker 1: sons of men. So shall he sprinkle many nations. The
23:36
Speaker 1: kings shall shut their mouths at him, for that which
23:39
Speaker 1: had not been told them. Shall they see, and that
23:42
Speaker 1: which they had not heard shall they consider verily. Verily,
23:46
Speaker 1: I say unto you, all these things shall surely come,
23:50
Speaker 1: even as the Father Hath commanded me. Then shall this
23:54
Speaker 1: covenant which the Father Hath covenanted with his people be fulfilled.
23:59
Speaker 1: And then shall Jerusalem be inhabited again with my people,
24:03
Speaker 1: and it shall be the land of their inheritance. End
