  Speaker 1: Hines had been given, and it came to pass in
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: the thirty and fourth year. In the first month, on
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: the fourth day of the month, there arose a great storm,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: such an one as never had been known in all
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: the land. And there was also a great and terrible tempest,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: and there was terrible thunder insomuch that it did shake
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the whole earth as if it was about to divide asunder.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: And there were exceedingly sharp lightnings such as never had
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: been known in all the land. And the city of
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Zarahemla did take fire, and the city of Moroni did
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: sink into the depths of the sea, and the inhabitants
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: thereof were drowned. And the earth was carried up upon
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the city of Moroniha that in the place of the
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: city there became a great mountain. And there was a
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: great and terrible destruction in the land southward. But behold,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: there was a more great and terrible destruction in the
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: land northward. For behold, the whole face of the land
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: was changed because of the tempest and the whirl winds,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: and the thunderings and the lightnings, and the exceedingly great
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: quaking of the whole earth, and the highways were broken up,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: the level roads were spoiled, and many smooth places became rough,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: and many great and notable cities were sunk, and many
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: were burned, and many were shaken, till the buildings thereof
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: had fallen to the earth, and the inhabitants thereof were slain,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: and the places were left desolate. And there were some
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: cities which remained, but the damage thereof was exceedingly great.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: And there were many of them who were slain. And
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: there were some who were carried away in the whirl wind,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: And whither they went no man knoweth, save they know
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: that they were carried away. And thus the face of
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the whole earth became deformed because of the tempests and
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the quaking of the earth.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: And behold, the rocks were rent and twain, and they
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: were broken up upon the face of the whole earth,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: insomuch that they were found in broken fragments, and in
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: seams and in cracks upon all the face of the land.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that when the thunderings and
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the lightnings, and the storm, and the tempest and the
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: quaking of the earth did cease, for behold, they did
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: last for about the space of three hours, and it
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: was said by some that the time was greater. Nevertheless,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: all these great and terrible things were done in about
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the space of three hours. And then behold, there was
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: darkness upon the face of the land. And it came
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: to pass that there was thick darkness upon all the
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: face of the land, insomuch that the inhabitants thereof who
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: had not fallen, could feel the vapor of darkness. And
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: there could be no light because of the darkness. Neither candles,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: neither torches, neither could there be fire kindled with their
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: fine and exceedingly dry wood, so that there could not
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: be any light at all. And there was not any
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: light scene, neither fire nor glimmer, neither the sun nor
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the moon, nor the stars, for so great were the
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: mists of darkness which were upon the face of the land.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that it did last for
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the space of three days, that there was no light seen,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: and there was great mourning and howling and weeping among
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: all the people. Continually. Yea great were the groanings of
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the people because of the darkness and the great destruction
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: which had come upon them. And in one place they
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: were heard to cry, saying, oh, that we had repented
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: before this great and terrible day, And then would our
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: brethren have been spared, that they would not have been
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: burned in that great city Zarahemla. And in another place
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: they were heard to cry and mourn, saying, oh, that
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: we had repented before this great and terrible day, and
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: had not killed and stoned the prophets and cast them out.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Then would our mothers and our fair daughters and our
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: children have been spared and not have been buried up
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: in that great city Moroniha. And thus were the howlings
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: of the people great and terrible end of Third Nephi,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Chapters five through eight. Third Nephi Chapter nine. And it
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: came to pass that there was a voice heard among
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: all the inhabitants of the earth, upon all the face
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: of this land, crying woe, woe, woe unto this people,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: woe unto the inhabitants of the whole earth, except they
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: shall repent for the devil Laugheth. And as angels rejoice
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: because of the slain of the fair sons and daughters
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: of my people. And it is because of their iniquity
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: and abominations that they are fallen. Behold that great city
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Zarahemla have I burned with fire, and the inhabitants thereof.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: And behold that great city Morona. Have I caused to
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: be sunk in the depths of the sea, and the
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: inhabitants thereof to be drowned. And behold that great city
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: moroni Ha, have I covered with earth and the inhabitants thereof,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: to hide their iniquities and their abominations from before my face,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: that the blood of the prophets and the Saints shall
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: not come any more unto me against them. And behold
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the city of Gilgal have I caused to be sunk,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: and and the inhabitants thereof to be buried up in
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the depths of the earth Yea, in the city of Oniha,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: and the inhabitants thereof, In the city of Mocum, and
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the inhabitants thereof. In the City of Jerusalem, and the
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: inhabitants thereof and waters have I caused to come up
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: in the stead thereof, to hide their wickedness and abominations
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: from before my face, that the blood of the Prophets
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: and the Saints shall not come up any more unto
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: me against them. And behold the city Gadiandi, and the
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: city of Gariomna, and the city of Jacob, and the
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: city of Gimgimno, all these have I caused to be
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: sunk and made hills and valleys in the places thereof,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: And the inhabitants thereof have I buried up in the
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: depths of the earth, to hide their wickedness and abominations
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: from before my face, that the blood of the prophets
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: and the saints should not come up any more unto
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: me against them. And behold that great city Jacobugath, which
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: was inhabited by the people of King Jacob, have I
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: caused to be burned with fire as of their sins
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: and their wickedness, which was above all the wickedness of
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: the whole earth, because of their secret murders and combinations.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: For it was they that did destroy the peace of
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: my people and the government of the land. Therefore I
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: did cause them to be burned, to destroy them from
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: before my face, that the blood of the prophets and
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: the saints should not come up unto me any more
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: against them. And to behold the city of Laymen, in
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the city of Josh and the city of Gad and
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the city of Kishkumen have I caused to be burned
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: with fire and the inhabitants thereof because of their wickedness
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: in casting out the prophets and stoning those whom I
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: did sent to declare unto them concerning their wickedness and
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: their abominations, And because they did cast them all out,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: that there were none righteous among them, I did send
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: down fire and destroy them, that their wickedness and abominations
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: might be hid from before my face, that the blood
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: of the prophets and the saints whom I sent among
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: them might not cry and me from the ground against them.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: And many great destructions have I caused to come upon
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: this land and upon this people because of their wickedness
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: and their abominations. Oh, while ye that are spared, because
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: ye were more righteous than they, will ye not now
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: return unto me and repent of your sins and be
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: converted that I may heal you. Yea verily I say
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: unto you. If ye will come unto me, ye shall
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: have eternal life. Behold, Mine arm of mercy is extended
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: towards you, And whosoever will come him, will I receive
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: and blessed are those who come unto me. Behold, I
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I created the
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: heavens and the earth and all things that in them are.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I was with the Father from the beginning. I am
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: in the Father, and the Father in me, and in
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: me hath the Father glorified his name. I came unto
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: my own, and my own received me not. And the
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: scriptures concerning my coming are fulfilled. And as many as
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: have received me to them have I given to become
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the sons of God. And even so will I to
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: as many as shall believe on my name. For behold,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: by me, a redemption cometh, And in me is the
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: law of Moses fulfilled. I am the Light and the
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: life of the world. I am Alpha and Omega, the
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: beginning and the end. And ye shall offer up unto
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: me no more the shedding of blood. YEA, your sacrifices
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: and your burnt offerings shall be done away, For I
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: will accept none of your sacrifices and your burnt offerings.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: And ye shall offer for a sacrifice unto me a
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: broken heart and a contrite spirit. And whoso cometh unto
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: me with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, him,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: will I baptize with fire and with the Holy Ghost.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Even as Lamanites, because of their faith in Me at
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the time of their conversion, were baptized with fire and
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: with the Holy Ghost, and they knew it not. Behold,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I have come unto the world to bring redemption, unto
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: the world, to save the world from sin. Therefore, whoso
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: repenteth and cometh unto me as a little child, him
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: will I receive. For of such is the Kingdom of God. Behold,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: for such I have laid down my life and have
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: taken it up again. Therefore, repent and come unto me,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: ye ends of the earth, and be saved. Third Nephive,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: chapter ten. And now behold, it came to pass that
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: all the people of the land did hear these sayings
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: and did witness of it. And after these sayings there
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: was silence in the land for the space of many hours.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: For so great was the astonishment of the people that
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: they did cease lamenting and howling for the loss of
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: their kindred which had been slain. Therefore, there was silence
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: in all the land for the space of many hours.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that there came a voice
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: again unto the people, and all the people did hear
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: and did witness of it, saying, O, ye people of
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: these great cities which have fallen, who are descendants of Jacob, yea,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: who are of the House of Israel, how oft have
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: I gathered you as a hen gathereth her chickens under
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: her wings and have nourished you? And again, how oft
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: would I have gathered you as a hen gathereth her
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: chickens under her wings? Yea, O ye people of the
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: House of Israel who have fallen? Yea, O ye people
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: of the House of Israel, ye that dwell at Jerusalem,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: as ye that have fallen? Yea, how oft would I
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: have gathered you as a hen gathereth her chickens? And
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: ye would not, Oh, ye house of Israel, whom I
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: have spared, How oft will I gather you as a
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: hen gather with her chickens under her wings? If you
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: will repent and return unto me with full purpose of heart.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: But if not, O House of Israel, the places of
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: your dwellings shall become desolate until the time of the
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: fulfilling of the covenant to your fathers. And now it
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: came to pass that after the people had heard these words. Behold,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: they began to weep and howl again because of the
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: loss of their kindred and friends. And it came to
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: pass that thus did the three days pass away. And
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: it was in the morning, and the darkness dispersed from
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: off the face of the land, and the earth did
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: cease to tremble, and the rocks did cease to rend,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: and the dreadful groanings did cease, and all the tumultuous
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: noises did pass away, and the earth did cleave together
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: again that it stood, and the mourning and the weeping
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: and the wailing of the people who were spared alive
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: did cease, and their mourning was turned into joy, and
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: their lamentations into the praise and thanksgiving unto the Lord
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, their redeemer. And thus far were the scriptures
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: fulfilled which had been spoken by the prophets. And it
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: was the more righteous part of the people who were saved.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: And it was they who received the prophets and stoned
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: them not. And it was they who had not shed
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: the blood of the saints who were spared. And they
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: were spared, and were not sunk and buried up in
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: the earth. And they were not drowned in the depths
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: of the sea, and they were not burned by fire.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Neither were they fallen upon and crushed to death. And
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: they were not carried away in the whirlwind, neither were
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: they overpowered by the vapor of smoke and of darkness.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: And Now whoso readeth, let him understand, he that hath
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: the scriptures, let him search them and see, and behold,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: if all these deaths and destructions, by fire and by smoke,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: and by tempests, and by whirl winds, and by the
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: opening of the earth to receive them them and all
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: these things are not into the fulfilling of the prophecies
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: of many of the holy prophets. Behold, I say to you, yea,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: many have testified of these things at the coming of Christ,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: and were slain because they testified of these things. Yea,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: the prophet Zenas did testify of these things, and also
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Xeniic spake concerning these things, because they testified, particularly concerning us,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: who are the remnant of their seed. Behold, our father
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Jacob also testified concerning a remnant of the seed of Joseph.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: And behold are not we a remnant of the seed
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: of Joseph? And these things which testify of us, are
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: they not written upon the plates of brass which our
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: father Lehi brought out of Jerusalem. And it came to
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: pass that in the ending of the thirty and fourth year. Behold,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I will show unto you that the people of Nephi
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: who were spared, and also those who had been called
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Lamanites who had been spared, did have great favors shown
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: unto them, and great blessings poured out upon their heads.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Insomuch that soon after the ascension of Christ into Heaven,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: he did truly manifest himself unto them, showing his body
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: unto them and ministering unto them. And an account of
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: his ministry shall be given hereafter. Therefore, for this time
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: I make an end of my sayings. Third Nephi, Chapter eleven.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: And now it came to pass that there were a
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: great multitude gathered together of the people of Nephi round
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: about the temple, which was in the land Bountiful, And
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: they were marveling and wondering one with another, and were
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: showing one to another the great and marvelous change which
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: had taken place. And they were also conversing about this
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ of whom the sign had been given concerning
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: his death. And it came to pass that while they
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: were thus conversing one with another, they heard a voice,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: as if it came out of heaven. And they cast
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: their eyes round. For they understood not the voice which
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: they heard, and it was not a harsh voice, neither
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: was it a loud voice. Nevertheless, and notwithstanding it being
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: a small voice, it did pierce them that did hear,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: to the center, insomuch that there was no part of
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: their frame that it did not cause to quake. Yea,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: it did pierce them to the very soul, and did
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: cause their hearts to burn. And it came to pass
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: that again they heard the voice, and they understood it not.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: And again the third time they did hear the voice,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: and it opened their ears to hear it, and their
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: eyes were towards the sound thereof, and they did look
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: steadfastly towards heaven, from whence the sound came, and behold,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: the third time they did understand the voice which they heard,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: and it said unto them, behold my beloved son, in
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: whom I am well pleased, in whom I have glory
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: my name, Here ye him. And it came to pass.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: As they understood, they cast their eyes up again towards heaven,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: and behold, they saw a man descending out of heaven,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: and he was clothed in a white robe. And he
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: came down and stood in the midst of them, And
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: the eyes of the whole multitude were turned upon him.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: And they durst not open their mouths, even one to another,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: and wist not what it meant, for they thought it
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: was an angel that had appeared unto them. And it
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: came to pass that he stretched forth his hand and
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: spake unto the people, saying, behold, I am Jesus Christ,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: whom the prophets testified, shall come into the world. And behold,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I am the Light and the life of the world.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: And I have drunk out of that bitter cup which
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: the Father hath given me, and have glorified the Father
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: and taken upon me the sins of the world, in
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: the which I have suffered the will of the Father
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: in all things from the beginning. And it came to
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: pass that when Jesus had spoken these words, the whole
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: multitude fell to the earth, for they remembered that it
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: had been prophesied among them that Christ should show himself
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: unto them after his ascension into heaven. And it came
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: to pass that the Lord spake unto them, saying, arise,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: and come forth unto me, that ye may thrust your
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: hands into my side, and also that ye may feel
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: the Prince of the nails in my hands and in
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: my feet, that ye may know that I am the
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: God of Israel and the God of the whole earth,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: and have been slain for the sins of the world.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that the multitude went forth
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: and thrust their hands into his side, and did feel
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: the Prince of the nails in his hands and in
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: his feet. And this they did do, going forth one
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: by one, until they had all gone forth, and did
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: see with their eyes, and did fear with their hands,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: and did know of a surety, and did bear record
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: that it was he of whom it was written by
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: the prophets that should come. And when they had all
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: gone forth and had witnessed for themselves, they did cry
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: out with one accord, saying, Hosanna, blessed be the name
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: of the Most High God. And they did fall down
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: at the feet of Jesus and did worship him. And
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: it came to pass that he spake unto Nephi, for
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Nephi was among the multitude, and he commanded him that
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: he should come forth. And Nephi arose and went forth
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: and bowed himself before the Lord, and did kiss his feet.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: And the Lord commanded him that he should rise, and
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: he arose and stood before him. And the Lord said
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: unto him, I give unto you power that ye shall
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: baptize this people. When I am again ascended into heaven.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: And again the Lord called others and said unto them likewise,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: and he gave unto them power to baptize. And he said,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: unto them, on this wise shall ye baptize, and there
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: shall be no disputations among you. Verily, I say unto you,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: that who shall repenteth of his sins through your words,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: and desirous to be baptized in my name, on this
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: wise shall ye baptize them. Behold, ye shall go down
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: and stand in the water, and in my name shall
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: you baptize them. And now behold, these are the words
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: which ye shall say, calling them by name, saying, having
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: authority given me of Jesus Christ, I baptize you in
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: the name of the Father and of the Son and
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: of the Holy Ghost. Amen. And then shall ye immerse
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: them in the water, and come forth again out of
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: the water. And after this manner shall ye baptize in
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: my name. For Behold, verily, I say unto you that
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost are one,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: and I am in the Father, and the Father in me,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: and the Father and I are one. And according as
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: I have commanded you, thus shall you baptize. And there
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: shall be no disputations among you, as there have hitherto been.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Neither shall there be disputations among you concerning the points
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: of my doctrine, as there have hitherto been. For verily, verily,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: I say unto you, he that hath the spirit of
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: contention is not of me, but is of the devil,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: who is the father of contention. And he stirreth up
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: the hearts of men to contend with anger one with another. Behold,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: this is not my doctrine to stir up the hearts
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: of man with anger one against another. But this is
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: my doctrine, that such things should be done.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Away.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Behold, Verily, verily I say unto you, I will declare
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: unto you my doctrine. And this is my doctrine, And
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: It is the doctrine which the Father hath given unto me,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: And I bear record of the Father, and the Father
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: beareth record of me, and the Holy Ghost beareth record
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: of the Father and me. And I bear record that
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: the Father commandeth all men everywhere to repent and believe
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: in me. And whoso believeth in me and is baptized,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: the same shall be saved. And they are they who
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: shall inherit the Kingdom of God. And whoso believeth not
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: in me and is not baptized, shall be damned. Verily, verily,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: I say unto you that this is my doctrine, and
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: I bear record of it from the Father. And whoso
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: believeth in me, believeth in the Father also, and unto
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: him will the Father bear record of me, for he
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: will visit him with fire and with the Holy Ghost.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: And thus will the Father bear record of me, and
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: the Holy Ghost will bear record unto him of the
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Father and me. For the Father and I and the
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Holy Ghost are one. And again I say unto you,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: ye must repent and become as a little child and
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: be baptized in my name, or ye can in no
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: wise receive these things. And again I say unto you,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Ye must repent and be baptized in my name and
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: become as a little child, or ye can in no
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: wise inherit the Kingdom of God. Verily, verily, I say
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: unto you that this is my doctrine. And whoso buildeth
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: upon this, buildeth upon my rock, and the gates of
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Hell shall not prevail against them. And whoso shall declare
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: more or less than this and establish it for my doctrine,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: the same cometh of evil and is not built upon
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: my rock. But he buildeth upon a sandy foundation, and
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: the gates of hell stand open to receive such when
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: the floods come and the winds beat upon them. Go
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: forth unto this people, and declare the words which I
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: have spoken unto the ends of the earth. A third Nephi,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: chapter twelve. And it came to pass that when Jesus
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: had spoken these words unto Nephi and to those who
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: had been called, now the number of them who had
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: been called and received power and authority to baptize was twelve.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: And behold, he stretched forth his hand unto the multitude
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: and cried unto them, saying, blessed are ye, if ye
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: shall give heed unto the words of these twelve, whom
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: I have chosen from among you to minister unto you
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: and to be your servants. And unto them I have
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: given power that they may baptize you with water. And
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: after that ye are baptized with water. Behold, I will
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: baptize you with fire and with the Holy Ghost. Therefore,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: blessed are ye if ye shall believe in Me and
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: be baptized, after that ye have seen me and know
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: that I am. And again more blessed they who shall
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: believe in your words, because that ye shall testify that
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: ye have seen me, and that ye know that I am.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: YEA blessed are they who shall believe in your words
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: and come down into the depths of humility and be baptized,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: For they shall be visited with fire and with the
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Holy Ghost, and shall receive a remission of their sins. YEA,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: blessed are the poor in spirit who come unto me,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. And again, blessed
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: are all they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: And blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: And blessed are all they who do hunger and thirst
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: after righteousness, for they shall be filled with the Holy Ghost.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: And blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: And blessed are all the pure in heart, for they
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: shall see God. And blessed are all the peacemakers, for
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: they shall be called to the children of them God.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: And blessed are all they who are persecuted for my
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: name's sake, For theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. And
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: blessed are ye. When men shall revile you and persecute,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: for my sake, for ye shall have great joy and
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: be exceedingly glad, For great shall be your reward in heaven,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: For so persecuted they the prophets who were before you. Verily, verily,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: I say unto you, I give unto you to be
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: the salt of the earth. But if the salt shall
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: lose its savor, wherewith shall the earth be salted, The
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: salt shall be thenceforth good for nothing but to be
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: cast out and to be trodden under foot of men. Verily,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: verily I say unto you, I give unto you to
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: be the light of this people. A city that is
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: set on a hill cannot be hid. Behold, do men
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: light a candle and put it under a bushel, Nay,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: but on a candlestick, and it giveth light to all
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: that are in the house. Therefore, let your light so
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: shine before this people, that they may see your good
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: works and glorify your Father, who is in heaven. Think
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: not that I am come to destroy the law or
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: For verily, I say unto you, one jot nor tittle
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: hath not passed away from the law. But in me
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: it hath all been fulfilled. And behold, I have given
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: you the law and the commandments of my Father, that
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: ye shall believe in me, and that ye shall repent
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: of your sins and come unto me with a broken
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: heart and a contrite spirit. Behold, ye have the commandments
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: before you, and the law is fulfilled. Therefore come unto me,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: and be ye saved. For verily I say unto you
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: that except ye shall keep my commandments which I have
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: commanded you at this time, ye shall in no case
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Ye have heard that
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: it hath been said by them of old time and
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: it is also written before you that thou shalt not kill,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: judgment of God. But I say unto you that whosoever
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: is angry with his brother shall be in danger of
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: his judgment. And whosoever shall say to his brother raca
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: shall be in danger of the council. And whosover shall
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: say thou fool shall be in danger of hell fire. Therefore,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: if ye shall come unto me, or shall desire to
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: come unto me, and rememberest that thy brother hast aught
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: against THEE, go thy way unto thy brother, and first
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: be reconciled to thy brother, and then come unto me
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: with full purpose of heart. And I will receive you.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Agree with thine adversary quickly while thou art in the
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: way with him, lest that any time he shall get THEE,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: and thou shalt be cast into prison. Verily, verily, I
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: say unto THEE, thou shalt by no means come out.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Thence until thou hast paid the uttermost senine. And while
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: ye are in prison, can ye pay even one seenine?
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: Verily?
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Verily I say unto you, nay, Behold, it is written
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: by them of old time, that thou shalt not commit adultery.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: But I say unto you that whosoever looketh on a
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: woman to lust after her hath committed adultery already in
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: his heart. Behold, I give unto you a commandment, that
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: ye suffer none of these things to enter into your heart.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: For it is better that ye should deny yourselves of
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: these things, wherein ye will take up your cross, than
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: that ye should be cast into hell. It hath been
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: written that whosoever shall put away his wife, let him
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: give her a riding of divorcement.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: Verily, verily, I.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: and whoso shall marry her who is divorced, committeth adultery.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: And again it is written, thou shalt not forswear thyself,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: but shalt perform unto the lord of thine oaths. But verily, verily,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: I say unto you, swear not at all, neither by heaven,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: for it is God's throne, nor by the earth, for
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: it is his footstool. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: because thou canst not make one hair black or white.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: But let your communication be yea yea nay, nay. For
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: whatsoever cometh of more than these is evil. And behold
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: it is written an eye for an eye, and a
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: tooth for a tooth. But I say unto you that
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: ye shall not resist evil. But whosoever shall smite THEE
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: And if any man will sue THEE at the law
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: And whosoever shall compel THEE to go a mile, go
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: with him. Twain give to him that asketh THEE. And
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: from him that would borrow of THEE, turn not away.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: And behold it is written also that thou shalt love
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: thy neighbor and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: love your enemies, Bless them that curse you, Do good
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: to them that hate you, and pray for them who
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: despitefully use you and persecute you, that ye may be
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: the children of your father, who is in heaven, For
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: he maketh his son to rise on the evil and
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: on the good. Therefore, those things which were of old time,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: which were under the law in me are all fulfilled.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Old things are done away, and all things have become new.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Therefore I would that ye should be perfect, even as
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: I or your Father, who is in heaven, is perfect.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Third Nei Phi, chapter thirteen. Verily, Verily, I say that
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: I would that ye should do alms unto the poor.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: But take heed that ye do not your alms before
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: men to be seen of them. Otherwise ye have no
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: reward of your father, who is in heaven. Therefore, when
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: ye shall do your alms, do not sound a trumpet
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: before you, as will hypocrites do in the synagogues and
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: I say unto you, they have their reward. But when
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: thy right hand doeth, that thine alms may be in secret,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: and thy Father, who seeth in secret himself, shall reward
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: thee openly. And when thou prayest, thou shalt not do
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: as to hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: they may be seen of men. Fairly, I say unto you,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: they have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: pray to thy father, who is in secret. And thy father,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: who seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. But when
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: ye pray, use not vain repetitions as the heathen, for
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Be not ye therefore like unto them. For your father
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: knoweth what things ye have need of before ye ask him.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: After this manner, therefore, pray ye, our Father, who art
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy will be done
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: on earth as it is in heaven. And forgive us
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: our debts, as we forgive our debtors, and lead us
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly father
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: will also forgive you. But if ye forgive not men
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: their trespasses, neither will your father forgive your trespasses. Moreover,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: when ye fast, be not as the hypocrites of a
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: sad countenance, for they disfigure their faces that they may
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: appear unto men to fast. Verily, I say unto you,
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: they have their reward. But thou, when thou fastest, anoint
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: thy head and wash thy face, that thou appear not
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: unto men to fast, but unto thy father, who is
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: in secret. And thy father, who seeth in secret, shall
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: reward thee Openly. Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: where moth and rust doth corrupt, and thieves break through
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: and steal. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: do not break through nor steal. For where your treasure is,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: there will your heart be. Also. The light of the
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: body is the eye. If therefore thine eye be single,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: thy whole body shall be full of light. But if
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: be darkness, how great is that darkness. No man can
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: serve two masters, for either he will hate the one
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: and love the other, or else he will hold to
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: and Mammon. And now it came to pass that when
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Jesus had spoken these words, he looked upon the twelve
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: whom he had chosen, and said, unto them, remember the
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: words which I have spoken. For behold ye are they
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: whom I have chosen to minister unto this people. Therefore
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: I say unto you, take no thought for your life
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, Nor
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: yet for your body what ye shall put on. Is
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Behold the fowls of the air, for they so not
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: neither do they reap nor gather into barns. Yet your
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: Which of you, by taking thought can add one cubit
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment?
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow, they toil,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: not neither do they spin. And yet I say unto
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: you that even Solomon, in all his glory, was not
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothes
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: the grass of the field, which today is and tomorrow
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: was cast into the oven, even so will he clothe you,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: if he are not of little faith. Therefore, take no
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: thought saying what shall we eat, or what shall we drink?
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Or wherewithal shall we be clothed? For your heavenly Father
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: and all these things shall be added up unto you.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Take therefore no thought for the morrow, For the morrow
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient is
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: the day unto the evil thereof and of thirdy Phi
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: Chapters nine through thirteen, Third Phi, chapter fourteen. And now
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken these words,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: he turned again to the multitude, and it opened his
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: mouth unto them again, saying, verily, verily, I say unto you,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: judge not that ye be not judged. For with what
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged, And with what
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: measure ye meet, it shall be measured to you again.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: And why beholdest thou the moat that is in thy
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: brother's eye, But considerest not the beam that is in
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: let me pull the moat out of thine eye, and
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: behold a beam is in thine ownee. Thou hypocrite, first
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: cast the beam out of thine own eye. And then
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: shalt thou see clearly to cast the moat out of
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: thy brother's eye. Give not that which is holy unto
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: the dogs. Neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: they trample them under their feet. And turn again and
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: rend you ask, and it shall be given unto you. Seek,
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: and ye shall find, knock, and it shall be opened
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: unto you.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: For every one that.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Asketh receiveth, and he that seeketh findeth, And to him
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: that knocketh it shall be opened. Or what man is
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: there of you, who, if his son ask bread, will
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: give him a stone, or if he asketh fish, will
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: he give him a serpent? If ye, then, being evil,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: know how to give good gifts unto your children, how
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: much more shall your father, who is in heaven, give
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: good things to them that ask him. Therefore, all things
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: ye even so to thee them. For this is the
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: law and the prophets. Enter ye in at the straight gate,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way,
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: which lead us to destruction. And many there be who
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: go in thereat, because straight is the gate and narrow
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: be that find it. Beware of false prophets who come
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: grapes of thorns or figs of thistles? Even so, every
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: good tree bringeth forth good fruit, but a corrupt tree
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: evil fruit. Neither a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: down and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me,
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: Lord Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of heaven. But
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: he that doeth the will of my Father, who is
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: in heaven. Many will say to me in that day,
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Lord Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name, and
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: in thy name have cast out devils, and in thy
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: unto them. I never knew you depart from me, ye
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: that work iniquity. Therefore, whoso heareth these sayings of mine
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: man who built his house upon a rock, And the
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: and beat upon that house, and it fell not, for
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: it was founded upon a rock. And every one that
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: heareth these sayings of mine and doeth them not shall
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: be likened unto a foolish man who built his house
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: upon the sand. And the rain descended, and the floods came,
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: and the winds blew and beat upon that house, and
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: it fell, And great was the fall of it. Third Nephi,
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: chapter fifteen. And now it came to pass that when
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: Jesus had ended these sayings, he cast his eyes round
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: about on the multitude, and said, unto them, behold, ye
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: have heard the things which I taught before I ascended
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: to my father. Therefore, who so remembereth these sayings of
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: mine and doeth them him, will I raise up at
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: the last day. And it came to pass that when
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: Jesus had said these words, he perceived that there were
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: some among them who marveled and wondered what he would
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: concerning the law of Moses. For they understood not the
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: saying that old things had passed away, and that all
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: things had become new, and he said unto them, marvel
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: not that I said unto you that old things had
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: passed away, and that all things had become new. Behold,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: I say unto you that the law is fulfilled that
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: was given unto Moses. Behold, I am he that gave
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: the law, and I am he who covenanted with my
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: people Israel. Therefore the law in me is fulfilled, for
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: I have come to fulfill the law. Therefore it hath
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: an end. Behold, I do not destroy the prophets, For
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: as many as have not been fulfilled in me. Verily,
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: I say unto you, shall all be fulfilled. And because
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: I said unto you that old things have passed away,
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: I do not destroy that which hath been spoken concerning
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: things which are to come. For behold, the covenant which
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: I have made with my people is not all fulfilled.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: But the law which was given unto Moses hath an
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: end in me. Behold, I am the Law, and the
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: light look unto me and endure to the end, and
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: he shall live. For unto him that endureth to the end,
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: will I give eternal life. Behold, I have given unto
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: you the commandments. Therefore, keep my commandments. And this is
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: the law and the prophets. For they truly testified of me.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: And now it came to pass that when Jesus had
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: spoken these words, he said, unto those twelve whom he
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: had chosen, ye are my disciples, and ye are a
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: light unto this people, who are a remnant of the
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: house of Joseph. And behold, this is the land of
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: your inheritance, and the Father hath given it unto you.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: And not at any time hath the Father given me
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: commandment that I should tell it unto your brethren at Jerusalem.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: Neither at any time hath the Father given me commandment
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: that I should tell unto them concerning the other tribes
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: of the House of Israel, whom the Father hath led
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: away out of the land. This much did the Father
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: command me, that I should tell unto them that other
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: sheep I have which are not of this fold. Them
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice,
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: and there shall be one fold and one shepherd. And now,
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: because of stiff nakedness and unbelief, they understood me not
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: my word. Therefore I was commanded to say no more
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: of the Father concerning this thing unto them. But verily
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: I say unto you that the Father hath commanded me,
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: And I tell it unto you that ye were separated
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: from among them because of their iniquity. Therefore it is
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: because of their iniquity that they know not of you.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: And verily I say unto you again that the other
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: tribes hath the Father separated from them, and it is
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: because of their iniquity that they know not of them.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: And verily I say unto you that ye are they
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: of whom I said, other sheep I have which are
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: not of this fold. Them also I must bring, and
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: fold and one shepherd. And they understood me not, for
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: they supposed it had been the Gentiles. For they understood
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: not that the gentiles should be converted through their preaching.
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: And they understood me not that I said they shall
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: hear my voice. And they understood me not that the
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: gentile tiles should not at any time hear my voice,
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: that I should not manifest myself unto them, as if
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: it were by the Holy Ghost. But behold, ye have
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: both heard my voice and seen me, and ye are
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: my sheep, and ye are numbered among those whom the
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: Father hath given me thirty five, chapter sixteen. And verily, verily,
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: I say unto you that I have other sheep which
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: are not of this land, neither of the land of Jerusalem,
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: neither in any parts of that land round about whither
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: I have been to minister. For they of whom I
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: speak are they who have not as yet heard my voice.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: Neither have I at any time manifested myself unto them.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: But I have received a commandment of the Father that
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: I shall go unto them, and that they shall hear
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: my voice and shall be numbered among my sheep, that
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: there may be one fold and one shepherd. Therefore I
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: go to show myself unto them. And I command you
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: that ye shall write these sayings after I am gone,
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: that if so be that my people at Jerusalem, they
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: who have seen me and have been with me in
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: my ministry, do not ask the Father in my name,
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: that they may receive a knowledge of you by the
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: Holy Ghost, and also of the other tribes whom they
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: know not of. That these sayings which ye shall write
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: shall be kept and shall be manifested unto the Gentiles,
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: that through the fullness of the Gentiles, the remnant of
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: their seed, who shall be scattered forth upon the face
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: of the earth, because of their unbelief, may be brought in,
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: or may be brought to a knowledge of Me their Redeemer.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: And then will I gather them in from the four
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: quarters of the earth. And then will I fulfill the
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: covenant which the Father hath made unto all the people
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: of the House of Israel. And blessed are the gentiles,
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: because of their belief in Me in and of the
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: Holy Ghost, which witnesses unto them of Me and of
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: the Father. Behold, because of their belief in Me, saith
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: the Father, And because of the unbelief of you, o
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: House of Israel. In the latter day shall the truth
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: come unto the Gentiles, that the fullness of these things
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: shall be made known unto them. But woe saith the
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: Father unto the unbelieving of the Gentiles. For notwithstanding they
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: have come forth upon the face of this land and
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: have scattered my people who are of the House of Israel,
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: and my people who are of the House of Israel,
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: have been cast out from among them, and have been
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: trodden under feet by them. And because of the mercies
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: of the Father unto the Gentiles, and also the judgments
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: of the Father upon my people who are of the
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: House of Israel. Verily, verily, I say unto you that
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: after all this, and I have caused my people who
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: are of the House of Israel, to be smitten and
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: to be afflicted, and to be slain, and to be
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: cast out from among them, and to become hated by them,
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: and to become a hiss and a byword among them.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: And thus commandeth the Father that I should say unto
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: you at that day when the Gentiles shall sin against
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: my gospel and shall reject the fullness of my gospel,
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: and shall be lifted up in the pride of their
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: hearts above all nations and above all the people of
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: the whole earth, and shall be filled with all manner
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: of lyings and of deceits, and of mischiefs, and all
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: manner of hypocrisy, and murders and priestcrafts and hortoms, and
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: of secret abominations. And if they shall do all those
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: things and shall reject the fullness of my gospel, behold
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: saith the Father, I will bring the fullness of my
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: gospel from among them. And then will I remember my
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: covenant which I have made unto my people, O House
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: of Israel, and I will bring my gospel unto them,
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: and I will show unto thee O House of Israel,
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: that the Gentiles shall not have power over you. But
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: I will remember my covenant unto you, O House of Israel,
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: and ye shall come unto the knowledge of the fullness
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: of my gospel. But if the Gentiles will repent and
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: return unto me, saith the Father, Behold, they shall be
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: numbered among my people, O House of Israel. Will not
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: suffer my people, who are of the House of Israel,
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: to go through among them and tread them down, Saith
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: the Father. But if they will not turn unto me
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: and hearken unto my voice, I will suffer them. Yea,
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: I will suffer my people, O House of Israel, that
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: they shall go through among them, and shall tread them down,
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: and they shall be assault which hath lost its savor,
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: which is thenceforth good for nothing but to be cast
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: out and to be trodden under foot of my people,
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: O House of Israel. Verily, verily, I say unto you.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: Thus hath the Father commanded me that I should give
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: unto this people this land for their inheritance. And then
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: the words of the prophet Isaiah shall be fulfilled, which say,
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: thy watchman shall lift up the voice.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: With the voice.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: Together shall they sing, for they shall see I to eye.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: When the Lord shall bring again Zion, break forth into joy,
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem. For the Lord
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem. The Lord
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: hath made bear his Holy arm in the eye of
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: all the nations, and all the ends of the earth
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: shall see the salvation of God thirt mey Phi chapter seventeen. Behold,
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: now it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: these words, he looked round about again on the multitude,
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: and he said unto them, Behold, my time is at hand.
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: I perceive that ye are weak, that ye cannot understand
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: all my words, which I am commanded of the Father
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: to speak unto you at this time. Therefore, go ye
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: unto your homes and ponder upon the things which I
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: have said, and ask of the Father in my name,
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: that ye may understand, and prepare your minds for the morrow.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: And I come unto you again. But now I go
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: unto the Father, and also to show myself unto the
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: lost tribes of Israel, for they are not lost unto
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: the Father, for he knoweth whither he hath taken them.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken,
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: he cast his eyes round about again on the multitude,
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: and behold, they were in tears, and did look steadfastly
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: upon him, as if they would ask him to tarry
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: a little longer with them. And he said unto them, behold,
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: my bowels are filled with compassion towards you. Have ye
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: any that are sick among you? Bring them hither. Have
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: ye any that are lame, or blind, or halt, or maimed,
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: or leprous, or that are withered, or that are deaf,
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: or that are afflicted in any manner, Bring them hither,
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: and I will heal them. For I have compassion upon you.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: My bowels are filled with mercy. For I perceive that
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: ye desire that I should show unto you what I
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: have done unto your brethren at Jerusalem. I see that
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: your faith is sufficient that I should heal you. And
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: it came to pass that when he had thus spoken,
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: all the multitude with one accord, did go forth with
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: their sick and their afflicted, and their lame, and with
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: their blind and with their dumb, and with all them
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: that were afflicted in any manner, And he did heal
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: them every one as they were brought forth unto him.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: And they did all both, they who had been healed,
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: and they who were whole, bow down at his feet
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: and did worship him. And as many as could come,
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: for the multitude did kiss his feet in so much
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: that they did bathe his feet with their tears. And
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: it came to pass that he commanded that their little
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: children should be brought. So they brought their little children
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: and set them down upon the ground round about him,
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: and Jesus stood in the midst, and the multitude gave
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: way till they had all been brought unto him. And
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: it came to pass that when they had all been
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: brought and Jesus stood in the midst, he commanded the
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: multitude that they should kneel down upon the ground. And
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: it came to pass that when they had knelt upon
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: the ground, Jesus groaned within himself and said, Father, I
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: am troubled because of the wickedness of the people of
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: the House of Israel. And when he had said these words,
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: he himself also knelt upon the earth, and behold he
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: prayed unto the Father. And the things which he prayed
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: cannot be written. And the multitude did bear record who
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: heard him, And after this manner do they bear record.
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: The eye hath never seen, neither hath the ear heard
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: before so great and marvelous things as we saw and
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: heard Jesus speak unto the Father. And no tongue can speak,
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: neither can there be written by any man. Neither can
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: the hearts of men conceive of so great and marvelous
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: things as we both a and heard Jesus speak. And
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: no one can conceive of the joy which filled our
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: souls at the time we heard him pray for us
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: unto the Father. And it came to pass that when
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: Jesus had made an end of praying unto the Father,
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: he arose. But so great was the joy of the
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: multitude that they were overcome. And it came to pass
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: that Jesus spake unto them and bade them arise, and
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: they arose from the earth, and he said unto them,
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: blessed are ye because of your faith, And now behold
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: my joy is full. And when he had said these words,
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: he wept, and the multitude bare record of it, and
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: he took their little children one by one and blessed
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: them and prayed unto the Father for them. And when
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: he had done this, he wept again, and he spake
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: unto the multitude and said unto them, behold your little ones.
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: And as they looked to behold, they cast their eyes
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: towards heaven, and they they saw the heavens open, and
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: they saw angels descending out of heaven, as it were,
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: in the midst of fire. And they came down and
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: encircled those little ones about, and they were encircled about
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: with fire. And the angels did minister unto them. And
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: the multitude did see and hear and bear record. And
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: they know that their record is true, for they all
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: of them did see and hear, every man for himself.
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: And they were in number about two thousand and five
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: hundred souls. And they did consist of men, women, and children.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: End of Third Nephi, Chapters fourteen through seventeen. Third Nephi,
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: Chapter eighteen. And it came to pass that Jesus commanded
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: his disciples that they should bring forth some bread and
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: wine unto him. And while they were gone for bread
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: and wine, he commanded the multitude, that they should sit
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: themselves down upon the earth. And when the desciples had
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: come with bread and wine, he took of the bread
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: and brake and blessed it, and he gave unto the
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: disciples and commanded that they should eat. And when they
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: had eaten and were filled, he commanded that they should
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: give unto the multitude. And when the multitude had eaten
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: and were filled, he said unto the disciples, Behold, there
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: shall one be ordained among you, And to him will
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: I give power, that he shall break bread and bless
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: it and give it unto the people of my church,
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: unto all those who shall believe and be baptized in
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: my name. And this shall ye always observe to do,
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: even as I have done, even as I have broken
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: bread and blessed it and given it unto you. And
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: this shall ye do in the remembrance of my body,
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: which I have shown unto you. And it shall be
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: a testimony unto the Father, that ye do always remember me.
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: And if ye do always remember me, ye shall have
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: my spirit to be with you. And it came to
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: pass that when he said these words, he commanded his
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: disciples that they should take of the wine of the
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: cup and drink of it, and that they should also
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: give unto the multitude, that they might drink of it.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that they did so, and
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: did drink of it, and were filled. And they gave
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: unto the multitude, and they did drink, and they were filled.
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: And when the disciples had done this, Jesus said unto them,
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: blessed or ye for this thing which ye have done,
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: For this is fulfilling my commandments. And this doth witness
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: unto the Father that ye are willing to do that
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: which I have commanded you. And this shall ye always
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: do to those who repent and are baptized in my name.
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: And ye shall do it in remembrance of my blood
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: which I have shed for you, that ye may witness
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: unto the Father that ye do always remember me. And
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: if ye do always remember me, ye shall have my
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: spirit to be with you. And I give unto you
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: a commandment that ye shall do these things. And if
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: ye shall always do these things, blessed are ye. For
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: ye are built upon my rock. But whoso among you
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: shall do more or less than these are not built
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: upon my rock, but are built upon a sandy foundation.
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: And when the rain descends, and the floods come, and
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: the winds blow and beat upon them, they shall fall,
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: and the gates of Hell are ready open to receive them. Therefore,
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: blessed are ye if ye shall keep my commandments which
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: the Father hath commanded me that I should give unto you. Verily, verily,
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: I say unto you, ye must watch and pray always,
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: lest ye be tempted by the devil, and ye be
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: led away captive by him. And as I have prayed
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: among you, even so shall ye pray in my church
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: among my people who do repent and are baptized in
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: my name. Behold, I am the Light. I have set
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: an example for you. And it came to pass that
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: when Jesus had spoken these words unto his disciples, he
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: turned again unto the multitude and said unto them. Behold, Verily, verily,
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: I say unto you, ye must watch and pray always,
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: lest ye enter into temptation. For Satan desireth to have you,
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: that he may sift you as wheat. Therefore ye must
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: always pray unto the Father in my name. And whatsoever
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is right,
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: believing that ye shall receive. Behold, it shall be given
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: unto you. Pray in your families unto the Father always
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: in my name, that your wives and your children may
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: be blessed. And behold, ye shall meet together oft. And
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: ye shall not forbid any man from coming unto you
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: when ye shall meet together, but suffer them that they
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: may come unto you, and forbid them not. But ye
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: shall pray for them, and shall not cast them. And
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: if it so be that they come unto you oft,
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: ye shall pray for them unto the Father in my name. Therefore,
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: hold up your light that it may shine unto the world. Behold,
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: I am the light which ye shall hold up that
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: which ye have seen me. Do Behold, ye see that
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: I have prayed unto the Father, and yea all have witnessed.
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: And ye see that I have commanded that none of
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: you should go away, but rather have commanded that ye
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: should come unto me, that ye might feel and see.
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: Even so shall ye do unto the world. And whosoever
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: breaketh this commandment suffereth himself to be led into temptation.
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: And now it came to pass that when Jesus had
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: spoken these words, he turned his eyes again upon the
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: disciples whom he had chosen and said unto them. Behold, verily,
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: verily I say unto you, I give unto you another commandment.
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: And then I must go unto my Father, that I
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: may fulfill other commandments which he hath given me. And
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: now behold, this is the commandment which I give unto you,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: that ye shall not suffer any one knowingly to partake
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: of my flesh and blood unworthily, when ye shall minister it,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: for whiso eaateth and drinketh my flesh and blood unworthily
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: eateth and drinketh damnation to his soul. Therefore, if ye
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: know that a man is unworthy to eat and drink
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: of my flesh and blood, ye shall forbid him. Nevertheless,
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: ye shall not cast him out from among you, but
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: ye shall minister unto him, and shall pray for him
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: unto the Father in my name. And if it so
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: be that he repenteth and is baptized in my name,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: then shall ye receive him and shall minister unto him
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: of my flesh and blood. But if he repent not,
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: he shall not be numbered among my people, that he
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: may not destroy my people. For behold, I know my
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: sheep and they are numbered. Nevertheless, ye shall not cast
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: him out of your synagogues or your places of worship,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: for unto such shall ye continue to minister. For ye
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: know not but what they will return and repent and
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: come unto me with full purpose of heart. And I
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: shall heal them, and ye shall be the means of
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: bringing salvation unto them. Therefore, keep these sayings which I
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: have commanded you, that ye come not under condemnation, for
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: woe unto him whom the Father condemneth. And I give
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: unto you these commandments because of the disputations which have
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: been among you. And blessed are ye if ye have
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: no disputations among you. And now by going to the Father,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: because it is expedient that I should go unto the
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: Father for your sakes. And it came to pass that
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: when Jesus had made an end of these sayings, he
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: touched with his hand the disciples whom he had chosen
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: one by one, even until he had touched them all,
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: and spake unto them as he touched them. And the
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: multitude heard not the words which he spake. Therefore they
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: did not bear record. But the disciples bear record that
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: he gave them power to give the Holy Ghost. And
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: I was shown to you hereafter that this record is true.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that when Jesus had touched
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: them all there came a cloud that overshadowed the multitude,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: that they could not see Jesus. And while they were overshadowed,
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: he departed from them and ascended into heaven. And the
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: disciples saw and bear record that he ascended again into
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: heaven thirty five, chapter nineteen. And now it came to
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: pass that when Jesus had ascended into heaven, the multitude
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: did disperse, and every man did take his wife and
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: his children, and did return to his own home. And
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: it was noised abroad among the people immediately before it
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: was yet dark, that the multitude had seen Jesus, and
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: that he did ministered unto them, and that he would
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: also show himself on the morrow unto the multitude. Yea,
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: And even all the night it was noised abroad concerning Jesus.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: And insomuch did they send forth unto the people, that
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: there were many Yea, an exceedingly great number did labor
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: exceedingly all that night that they might be on the
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: morrow in the place where Jesus should show himself unto
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: the multitude. And it came to pass that on the morrow,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: when the multitude was gathered together, behold Nephi and his
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: brother whom he had raised from the dead, whose name
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: was Timothy, and also his son, whose name was Jonas.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: And also Mathonae and Mathoniha his brother, and Kumen and Kumenonhai,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: and Jeremiah and Shemnon, and Jonas, and Zeekiah and Isaiah.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: Now these were the names of the disciples whom Jesus
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: had chosen. And it came to pass that they went
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: forth and stood in the midst of the multitude, and behold,
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: the multitude was so great that they did cause that
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: they should be separated into twelve bodies. And the twelve
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: did teach the multitude. And behold, they did cause that
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: the multitude should kneel down upon the face of the earth,
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: and should pray unto the Father in the name of Jesus.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: And the disciples did pray unto the Father, also in
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: the name of Jesus. And it came to pass that
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: they arose and ministered unto the people. And when they
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: administered those same words which Jesus had spoken, nothing varying
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: from the words which Jesus had spoken. Behold, they knelt
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: again and prayed to the Father in the name of Jesus.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: And they did pray for that which they most desired,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: and they desired that the Holy Ghost should be given
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: unto them. And when they had thus prayed, they went
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: down unto the water's edge, and the multitude followed them.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that Nephi went down into
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: the water and was baptised. And he came up out
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: of the water and began to baptize, and he baptized
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: all those whom Jesus had chosen. And it came to
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: pass when they were all baptized and had come up
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: out of the water, the Holy Ghost did fall upon them,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: and they were filled with the Holy Ghost and with fire.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: And behold, they were encircled about as if it were
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: by fire. And it came down from heaven, and the
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: multitude did witness it and did bear record, And angels
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: did come down out of heaven and administer unto them.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that while the angels were
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: ministering unto the disciples, Behold, Jesus came and stood in
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: the midst and ministered unto them. And it came to
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: pass that he spake unto the multitude and commanded them
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: that they should kneel down again upon the earth, and
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: also that his disciples shoul kneel down upon the earth.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that when they had all
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: knelt down upon the earth, he commanded his disciples that
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: they should pray. And behold, they began to pray, and
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: they did pray unto Jesus, calling him their Lord and
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: their God. And it came to pass that Jesus departed
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: out of the midst of them, and went a little
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: way off from them, and bowed himself to the earth.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: And he said, Father, I thank THEE that thou hast
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: given the Holy Ghost unto these whom I have chosen.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: And it is because of their belief in Me that
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: I have chosen them out of the world. Father, I
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: pray THEE that thou wilt give the Holy Ghost unto
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: all them that shall believe in their words. Father, thou
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: hast given them the Holy Ghost because they believe in me.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: And thou seest that they believe in me, because thou
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: hearest them, and they pray unto me, and they pray
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: unto me, because I am with them, and now Father,
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: I pray unto THEE for them, and also for all
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: those who shall believe on their words, that they may
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: believe in me, that I may be in them, as
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: thou Father art in me, that we may be one.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that when Jesus had thus
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: prayed unto the Father, he came unto his disciples. And
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: behold they did still continue without ceasing to pray unto him.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: And they did not multiply many words, for it was
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: given unto them what they should pray. And they were
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: filled with desire. And it came to pass that Jesus
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: blessed them as they did pray unto him, and his
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: countenance did smile upon them, and the light of his
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: countenance did shine upon them. And behold, they were as
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: white as the countenance, and also the garments of Jesus.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: And behold, the whiteness thereof did exceed all the whiteness. Yea,
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: even there could be nothing upon the earth so white
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: as the whiteness thereof. And Jesus said unto them, pray on. Nevertheless,
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: they did not cease to pray. And he turned from
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: them again, and went a little way off and bowed
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: himself to the earth, and he prayed again unto the Father, saying, Father,
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: I thank thee that thou hast purified those whom I
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: have chosen because of their faith. And I pray for them,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: and also for them who shall believe on their words,
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: that they may be purified in me through faith on
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: their words, even as they are purified in me. Father,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: I pray not for the world, but for those whom
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: thou hast given me out of the world because of
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: their faith, that they may be purified in me, that
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: I may be in them, as thou Father art in me,
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: that we may be one, that I may be glorified
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: in them. And when Jesus had spoken these words, he
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: came again unto his disciples, and behold they did pray steadfastly,
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: without ceasing, unto him. And he did smile upon them again.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: And behold they were white, even as Jesus. And it
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: came to pass that he went again a little way
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: off and prayed unto the Father. And tongue cannot speak
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: the words which he prayed, neither can be written by
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: man the words which he prayed. And the multitude did
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: hear and do bear record. And their hearts were open,
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: and they did understand in their hearts the words which
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: he prayed. Nevertheless, so great and marvelous were the words
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: which he prayed, that they cannot be written, neither can
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: they be uttered by man. And it came to pass
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: that when Jesus had made an end of praying, he
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: came again to the disciples and said, unto them, so
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: great faith have I never seen among all the Jews.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: Wherefore I could not show unto them so great miracles
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: because of their unbelief. Verily, I say unto you, there
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: are none of them that have seen so great things
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: as ye have seen. Neither have they heard so great
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: things as ye have heard. Third Nephi, Chapter twenty. And
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: it came to pass that he commanded the multitude that
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: they should cease to pray, and also his disciples, and
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: he commanded them that they should not cease to pray
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: in their hearts. And he commanded them that they should
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: arise and stand up upon their feet. And they arose
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: up and stood upon their feet. And it came to
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: pass that he breke bread again and blessed it, and
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: gave it to the disciples to eat. And when they
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: had eaten, he commanded them that they should break bread
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: and give un to the multitude. And when they had
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: given unto the multitude, he also gave them wine to drink,
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: and commanded them that they should give unto the multitude.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: Now there had been no bread, neither wine brought by
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: the disciples, neither by the multitude. But he truly gave
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: unto them bread to eat, and also wine to drink.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: And he said unto them, he that eateth this bread,
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: eateth of my body to his soul. And he that
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: drinketh of this wine, drinketh of my blood to his soul.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: And his soul shall never hunger nor thirst, but shall
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: be filled. Now, when the multitude had all eaten and drunk, behold,
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: they were filled with the spirit. And they did cry
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: out with one voice and gave glory to Jesus, whom
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: they both saw and heard. And it came to pass
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: that when they had all given glory unto Jesus, he
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: said unto them. Behold, now I finish the commandment which
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: the Father hath commanded me concerning this people, who are
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: a remnant of the House of Israel. Ye remember that
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: I spake unto you, and said that when the words
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: of Isaiah should be fulfilled, behold they are written, Ye
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: have them before you. Therefore search them, And very verily
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: I say unto you that when they shall be fulfilled,
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: then is the fulfilling of the covenant which the Father
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: hath made unto his people, O house of Israel. And
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: then shall the remnants which shall be scattered abroad upon
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: the face of the earth, be gathered in from the
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: east and from the west, and from the south and
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: from the north, and they shall be brought to the
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: knowledge of the Lord their God, who hath redeemed them.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: And the Father hath commanded me that I should give
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: unto you this land for your inheritance. And I say
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: unto you that if the gentiles do not repent after
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: the blessing which they shall receive, after they have scattered
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: my people, then shall ye, who are a remnant of
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: the house of Jacob, go forth among them, And ye
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: shall be in the midst of them who shall be many.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: And ye shall be among them as a lion among
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: the beasts of the forest, and as a young lion
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: among the flocks of the sheep, who if he goeth
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: through both treadeth down and teareth in pieces, and none
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: can deliver. Thy hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries,
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: and all thine enemies shall be cut off. And I
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: will gather my people together as a man gathereth his
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: sheaves into the floor. For I will make my people
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: with whom the Father hath covenanted.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 3: Yea.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: I will make thy horn iron, and I will make
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: thy hooves brass, and thou shalt beat in pieces many people,
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: and I will consecrate their gain unto the Lord, and
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: their substance unto the Lord of the Earth. And behold,
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: I am he who doeth it. And it shall come
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: to pass, saith the Father, that the sword of my
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: justice shall hang over them at that day, and except
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: they repent, it shall fall upon them, saith the Father, Yea,
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: even upon all the nations of the Gentiles. And it
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: shall come to pass that I will establish my people
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: o house of Israel. And behold, this people will I
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: establish in this land unto the fulfilling of the covenant
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: which I made with your father, Jacob. And it shall
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: be a new Jerusalem. And the powers of Heaven shall
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: be in the midst of this people.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 3: Yea.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: Even I will be in the midst of you. Behold,
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: I am he of whom Moses spake, saying a prophet,
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: Shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: your brethren, like unto me him, shall ye hear in
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: shall come to pass that every soul who will not
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: hear that prophet shall be cut off from among the people.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: Verily I say unto you, yea, and all the prophets
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: from Samuel in those that follow after, as many as
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: have spoken, have testified of me. And behold, ye are
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: the children of the prophets, and year of the House
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: of Israel, and year of the Covenant which the Father
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: made with your fathers saying unto Abraham, and in thy
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed,
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: the Father having raised me up unto you first and
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: sent me to bless you in turning away every one
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: of you from his iniquities. In this, because ye are
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: the children of the Covenant, and after that ye were blest,
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: then fulfilleth the Father the covenant which he made with Abraham,
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: saying in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: earth be blessed unto the pouring out of the Holy
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: Ghost through Me upon the Gentiles. Which blessing upon the
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: Gentiles shall make them mighty above all unto the scattering
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: of my people, O house of Israel, and they shall
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: be a scourge unto the people of this land. Nevertheless,
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: when they shall have received the fullness of my gospel,
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: then if they shall harden their hearts against me, I
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: will return their iniquities upon their own heads, saith the Father.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: And I will remember the covenant which I have made
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: with my people, and I have covenanted with them, that
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: I would gather them together in mine own due time,
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: that I would give unto them again the land of
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: their fathers for their inheritance, which is the land of Jerusalem,
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: which is the promised land unto them forever, saith the Father.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: And it shall come to pass that the time cometh
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: when the fullness of my gospel shall be preached unto them,
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: and they shall believe in me that I am Jesus Christ,
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: the Son of God, and shall pray unto the Father
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: in my name. Then shall their watchmen lift up their voice,
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: and with the voice together shall they sing, For they
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: shall see eye to eye. Then will the Father gather
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: them together again and give unto them Jerusalem for the
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: land of their inheritance. Then shall they break forth into joy,
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem. For the Father
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem. The Father
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: hath made bare his holy arm. And the eyes of
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: all the nations and all the ends of the earth
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: shall see the salvation of the Father. And the Father
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: and I are one. And then shall be brought to
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: pass that which is written. Awake, Awake again, and put
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: on thy strength, O Zion, Put on thy beautiful garments,
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: O Jerusalem, the holy City. For henceforth there shall no
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean. Shake
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: thyself from the dust, arise, sit down, O Jerusalem. Loose
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: of Zion. For thus saith the Lord, ye have sold
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: yourselves for naught, and ye shall be redeemed without money. Verily, verily,
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: I say unto you that my people shall know my
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: name yea, and that day they shall know that I
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: am he that doth speak. And then shall they say,
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: how beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of Him
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: that bringeth good tidings unto them, that publisheth peace, that
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: bringeth good tidings unto them of good, that publisheth salvation,
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth. And then shall
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: a cry go forth, depart, ye depart ye go ye
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: out from thence touch not that which is unclean, Go
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: ye out of the midst of her be ye clean
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: that bear the vessels of the Lord. For ye shall
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: not go out with haste, nor go by flight. For
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: the Lord will go before you, and the God of
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: Israel shall be your rearward. Behold, my servant shall deal prudently.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: He shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: As many were astonished at thee his visage was so
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: marred more than any man, and his form more than
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: the sons of men, So shall he sprinkle many nations.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: The kings shall shut their mouths at him. For that
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: which had not been told them shall they see, And
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: that which they had not heard shall they consider. Verily, Verily,
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: I say unto you, all these things shall surely come,
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: even as the Father hath commanded me. Then shall this
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: covenant which the Father hath covenanted with his people be fulfilled.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: And then shall Jerusalem be inhabited again with my people,
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: and it shall be the land of their inheritance. End
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: of Third ney Phive, Chapters eighteen through twenty thirty five,
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: Chapter twenty one. And verily, I say unto you, I
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: give unto you a sign that ye may know the
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: time when these things shall be about to take place,
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: that I shall gather in from their long dispersion my
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: people the House of Israel, and shall establish again among
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: them my Zion. And behold, this is the thing which
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: I will give unto you for a sign. For verily,
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: I say unto you, that when these things which I
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: declare unto you, and which I shall declare unto you
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: hereafter of myself and by the power of the Holy Ghost,
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: which shall be given unto you of the Father, shall
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: be made known unto the Gentiles, that they may know
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: concerning this people, who are a remnant of the House
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: of Jacob, and concerning this my people, who shall be
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: scattered by them. Verily, verily I say unto you, when
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: these things shall be made known unto them of the Father,
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: and shall come forth of the Father from them unto you,
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: For it is wisdom in the Father that they should
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: be established in this land and be set up as
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: a free people by the power of the Father, that
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: these things might come forth from them unto a remnant
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: of your seed, that the covenant the Father may be fulfilled,
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: which he hath covenanted with his people, O House of Israel. Therefore,
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: when these works and the works which shall be wrought
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: among you hereafter shall come forth from the gentiles unto
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: your seed, which shall dwindle an unbelief because of iniquity.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: For thus it behooveth the Father that it should come
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: forth from the Gentiles, that he may show forth his
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: power unto the gentiles. For this cause, that the gentiles,
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: if they will not harden their hearts, that they may
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: repent and come unto me, be baptized in my name,
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: and know of the true points of my doctrine, that
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: they may be numbered among my people, O House of Israel.
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: And when these things come to pass, that thy seed
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: shall begin to know these things, it shall be a
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: sign unto them that they may know that the work
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: of the Father hath already commenced unto the fulfilling of
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: the Covenant which he hath made unto the people who
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: are of the House of Israel. And when that day
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: shall come, it shall come to pass that kings shall
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: shut their mouths, for that which had not been told
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: them shall they see. And that which they had not
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: heard shall they consider. For in that day for my
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: sake shall the Father work a work which shall be
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: a great and a marvelous work among them. And there
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: shall be among them those who will not believe it,
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: although a man shall declare it unto them. But behold,
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: the life of my servant shall be in my hand.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: Therefore they shall not hurt him, although he shall be
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: marred because of them. Yet I will heal him, for
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: I will show unto them that my wisdom is greater
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: than the cunning of the devil. Therefore it shall come
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: to pass that whosoever will not believe in my words,
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: who am Jesus Christ, which the Father shall cause him
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: to bring forth unto the Gentiles, and shall give unto
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: him power that he shall bring them forth unto the Gentiles.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: It shall be done even as Moses said, they shall
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: be cut off from among my people who are of
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: the covenant, and my people who are a remnant of
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: Jacob shall be among the gentiles, yea, in the midst
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: of them, as a lion among the beasts of the foreign,
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: as a young lion among the flocks of the sheep,
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: who if he go through, both treadeth down and teareth
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: in pieces, and none can deliver. Their hands shall be
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: lifted up upon their adversaries, and all their enemies shall
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: be cut off. Yea, woe be unto the gentiles, except
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: they repent, for it shall come to pass in that
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: day saith the Father, that I will cut off thy
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: horses out of the midst of thee, and I will
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: destroy thy chariots. And I will cut off the cities
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: of thy land, and throw down all thy strongholds. And
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: I will cut off witchcrafts out of thy land, and
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: thou shalt have no more soothsayers thy graven images. I
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: will also cut off and thy standing images out of
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: the midst of thee, and thou shalt no more worship
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: the works of thy hands. And I will pluck up
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: thy groves out of the midst of thee. So will
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: I destroy thy cities. And it shall come to pass
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: that all lyings and deceivings and envyings and stripes, and priests,
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: grass and hortoms shall be done away. For it shall
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: come to pass, saith the Father, that at that day,
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: whosoever will not repent and come unto my beloved son,
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: them will I cut off from among my people, o
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: House of Israel. And I will execute vengeance and fury
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: upon them, even as upon the heathen, such as they
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: have not heard. But if they will repent and hearken
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: unto my words and harden not their hearts, I will
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: establish my church among them. And they shall come in
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: unto the Covenant, and be numbered among this the remnant
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: of Jacob, unto whom I have given this land for
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: their inheritance. And they shall assist my people the remnant
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: of Jacob, and also as many of the House of Israel,
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: that they may build a city which shall be called
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: the New Jerusalem. And then shall they assist my people,
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: that they may be gathered in, who are scattered upon
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: all the face of the land in unto the New Jerusalem.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: And then shall the power of Heaven come down among them,
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: and I will also be in the midst. And then
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: shall the work of the Father commence it that day,
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: Even when this gospel shall be preached among the remnant
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: of this people. Verily I say unto you. At that
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: day shall the work of the Father commence among all
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: the dispersed of my people, Yea, even the tribes which
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: have been lost, which the Father hath led away out
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: of Jerusalem.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 3: Yea.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: The work shall commence among all the dispersed of my
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: people with the Father, to prepare the way whereby they
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: may come unto me, that they may call on the
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: Father in my name.
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 3: Yea.
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: And then shall the work commence with the Father among
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: all nations, in preparing the way whereby his people may
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: be gathered home to the land of their inheritance. And
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: they shall go out from all nations. And they shall
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: not go out in haste, nor go by flight. For
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: I will go before them, Saith the Father, and I
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: will be their rear ward. Third Nephi, Chapter twenty two.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: And then shall that which is written come to pass,
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: Seeing O baron thou that didst not bear, break forth
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: into singing and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: with child. For more are the children of the desolate
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: than the children of the married wife, Saith, the Lord
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: forth the curtains of thy habitations. Spare not lengthen thy
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: cords and strengthen thy stakes. For thou shalt break forth
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: on the right hand and on the left, and thy
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: seed shall inherit the gentiles, and make the desolate cities
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: to be inhabited. Fear not, for thou shalt not be ashamed,
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: neither be thou confounded. For thou shalt not be put
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: to shame. For thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth,
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: and shalt not remember the reproach of thy youth, and
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: For thy maker, thy husband, the Lord of Hosts is
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: his name, and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel,
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: the God of the whole earth. Shall he be called.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: For the Lord hath called THEE as a woman forsaken
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth. When
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: thou wast refused saith thy God. For a small moment
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: have I forsaken Thee. But with great mercies will I
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: gather THEE in a little wrath. I hid my face
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: from THEE for a moment, but with everlasting kindness. Will
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord, thy redeemer.
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: For this the waters of Noah unto me. For as
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: more go over the earth, so have I sworn that
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: I would not be wroth with THEE. For the mountains
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: shall depart and the heels be removed. But my kindness
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 1: shall not depart from THEE. Neither shall the covenant of
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: my peace be removed. Saith the Lord, that hath mercy
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: on THEE. O, thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted. Behold,
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: I will lay thy stones with fair colors, and lay
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: thy foundations with sapphires. And I will make thy windows
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: borders of pleasant stones. And all thy children shall be
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: taught of the Lord. And great shall be the peace
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: of thy children. In righteousness. Shalt thou be established. Thou
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: shalt be far from oppression, for thou shalt not fear
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: and from terror, for it shall not come near thee. Behold,
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: they shall surely gather together against THEE. Not by me.
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: Whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. Behold,
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: And I have created the waste or to destroy. No
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: weapon that is formed against ye shall prosper. And every
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: tongue that shall revile against thee in judgment, thou shalt condemn.
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: and their righteousness is of me, Saith the Lord. Third Nephi,
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: chapter twenty three. And now behold, I say unto you
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: that ye ought to search these things. Yea a commandment
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: I give unto you that ye search these things diligently.
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: For great are the words of Isaiah. For surely he
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: spake as touching all things concerning my people, which are
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: of the House of Israel. Therefore it must needs be
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: that he must speak also to the gentiles. And all
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: things that he spake have been and shall be even
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: according to the words which he spake. Therefore, give heed
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: to my words. Write the things which I have told you,
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: And according to the time and the will of the Father,
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 1: they shall go forth unto the gentiles. And whosoever hearken
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: unto my words, and repenteth and is baptized, the same
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: shall be saved. Search the prophets, for many there be
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: that testify of these things. And now it came to
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: pass that when Jesus had said these words, he said
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 1: unto them again. After he had expounded all the scriptures
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: unto them which they had received, he said, unto them,
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: behold other scriptures. I would that ye should write that
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: ye have not. And it came to pass that he said,
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: unto Nephi, bring forth the record which ye have kept.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: And when Nephi had brought forth the records and laid
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: them before him, he cast his eyes upon them and said, verily,
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: I say unto you. I commanded my servant Samuel to laymanite,
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: that he should testify unto this people, that at the
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: day that the Father should glorify his name in me,
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: that there were many saints who should arise from the dead,
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: and should appear unto many, and should minister unto them.
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: And he said, unto them, was it not so? And
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: his disciples answered him and said, yea Lord, Samuel did
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: prophesy according to thy words. And they were all fulfilled.
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: And Jesus said, unto them, howbeit that ye have not
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: written this thing, that many saints did arise and appear
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: unto many, and did minister unto them. And it came
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 1: to pass that Nephi remembered that this thing had not
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: been written. And it came to pass that Jesus commanded
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: that it should be written. Therefore it was written according
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: as he commanded. And now it came to pass that
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: when Jesus had expounded all the scriptures in one which
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: they had written, he commanded them that they should teach
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: the things which he had expounded unto them, Chapter twenty four.
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that he commanded them that
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: they should write the words which the Father had given
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: unto Malachi, which he should tell unto them. And it
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: came to pass that after they were written, he expounded them.
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: And these are the words which which he did tell
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: unto them, saying thus said the Father and Malachi. Behold,
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: way before me, And the Lord whom ye seek shall
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the Covenant,
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: whom you delight in. Behold, he shall come, Saith, the
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: Lord of Hosts. But who may abide the day of
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: his coming, and who shall stand when he appeareth. For
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: he is like a refiner's fire, and like fuller's soap.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: And he shall sit as a refiner in purifier of silver.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 1: And he shall purify the sons of Levi and purge
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: the Lord, an offering in righteousness. Then shall the offering
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the Lord, as
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: in the days of old, and as in former years.
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: And I will come near to you to judgment. And
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: who oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow and
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: the fatherless, And that turn aside the stranger, and fear
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: not me, saith the Lord of Hosts. For I am
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: the Lord. I change not. Therefore, Ye sons of Jacob,
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: are not consumed even from the days of your fathers.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: Ye are gone away from mine ordinances and have not
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you,
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: saith the Lord of Hosts. But ye say wherein shall
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: we return? Will a man rob God yet ye have
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 1: robbed me. But ye say, wherein have we robbed thee?
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: In tithes and offerings? Ye are cursed with a curse,
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: for ye have robbed me even this whole nation. Bring
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: be meet in my house. And prove me now herewith
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: Saith the Lord of Hosts. If I will not open
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: you the windows of heaven and pour you out of blessing,
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 1: that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes. And
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground. Neither
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: the field, Saith the Lord of Hosts. And all nations
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: shall call you blessed, for ye shall be a delightsome land,
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 1: Saith the Lord of Hosts. Your words have been stout
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: against me, Saith the Lord. Yet ye say, what have
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 1: we spoken against thee? Ye have said it is vain
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 1: to serve God? And what doth it prophet that we
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: have kept His ordinances, and that we have walked mournfully
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: before the Lord of Hosts. And now we call the
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: proud happy yea they that work wickedness are set up. Yea,
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: they that tempt God are even delivered. Then they that
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 1: feared the Lord spake often one to another, and the
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: Lord hearkened and heard, and a book of remembrance was
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: written before him for them that feared the Lord and
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine,
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 1: saith the Lord of Hosts. In that day, when I
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: make up my jewels, and I will spare them, as
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: a man spareth his own son that serveth him, then
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: shall ye return and discern between the righteous and the wicked,
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 1: between him that serveth God and him that serveth Him.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: Not third me I fi Chapter twenty five. For behold
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: the day cometh that shall burn as an oven, and
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 1: all the proud YEA, and all that do wickedly shall
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 1: be stubble. And the day that cometh shall burn them up.
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: Saith the Lord of Hosts, that it shall leave them
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear my name,
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: shall the Son of Righteousness arise with healing in his wings.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 1: And ye shall go forth and grow up as calves
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: in the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 1: if for they shall be ashes under the soles of
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: your feet. And the day that I shall do this,
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: saith the Lord of Hosts. Remember you the law of Moses,
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horreb for
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 1: all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. Behold, I will
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 1: send you Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: great and dreadful day of the Lord. And he shall
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: come and smite the earth with a curse. Thirty five,
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 1: chapter twenty six. And now it came to pass that
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: when Jesus had told these things, he expounded them unto
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: the multitude. And he did expound all things unto them,
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 1: both great and small. And he saith these scriptures which
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: ye have not with you. The Father commanded that I
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: should give unto you, for it was wisdom in him
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: that they should be given unto future generations. And he
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: did expound all things even from the beginning until the
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: time that he should come in his glory. Yea, even
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: all things which should come upon the faith of the earth,
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: even till the elements should melt with fervent heat, and
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: the earth should be wrapped together as a scroll, and
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: the heavens and the earth should pass away, and even
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: unto the great and last day, when all people, and
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: all kindreds, and all nations and tongues shall stand before
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: God to be judged of their works, whether they be
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: good or whether they be evil. For if they be good,
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: to the resurrection of everlasting life, and if they be evil,
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: to the resurrection of damnation, being on a parallel, the
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 1: one on the one hand and the other on the
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 1: other hand, according to the mercy and the justice and
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 1: the holiness which is in Christ, who was before the
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: world began. And now there cannot be written in this
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 1: book even a hundredth part of the things which Jesus
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: did truly teach under the people. But behold, the plates
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: of Nephi do contain the more part of the things
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 1: which he taught the people. And these things have I written,
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: which are a lesser part of the things which He
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: taught the people. And I have written them to the
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: intent that they may be brought again unto this people
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: from the gentiles, according to the words which Jesus hath spoken,
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: And when they shall have received this which is expedient,
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: that they should have first to try their faith. And
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: if it shall so be that they shall believe these things,
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 1: then shall the greater things be made manifest unto them.
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: And if it so be that they will not believe
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: these things, then shall the greater things be withheld from
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: them unto their condemnation. Behold, I was about to write
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: them all which were engraven upon the plates of Nephi,
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: but the Lord forbade it, saying, I will try the
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: faith of my people. Therefore, I, Mormon, do right the
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 1: things which have been commanded me of the Lord. And
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: now I, Mormon, make an end of my sayings, and
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 1: proceed to write the things which have been commanded me.
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: Therefore I would that ye should behold that the Lord
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: truly did teach the people for the space of three days,
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: and after that he did show himself unto them oft,
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: and did break bread oft and bless it and give
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 1: it unto them. And it came to pass that he
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: did teach and minister unto the children of the multitude
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: of whom hath been spoken, and he did loose their tongues,
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: and they did speak unto their Father's great and marvelous things,
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: even greater than he had revealed unto the people, and
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: he loosed their tongues that they could utter. And it
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: came to pass that after he had ascended into heaven
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: the second time, that he showed himself unto them, and
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: had gone unto the Father, after having healed all their
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: sick and their lame, and opened the eyes of their
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: blind and unstopped the ears of the death, and even
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 1: had done all manner of cures among them, and raised
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: a man from the dead, and had shown forth his
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: power unto them, and had ascended unto the Father. Behold,
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: it came to pass on the morrow that the multitude
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: gathered themselves together, and they both saw and heard these children. Yea,
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 1: even babes did open their mouths and utter marvelous things.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: And the things which they did utter were forbid, and
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: that there should not any man write to them. And
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: it came to pass that the disciples whom Jesus had
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: chosen began from that time force to baptize and to
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 1: teach as many as that come unto them, And as
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: many as were baptized in the name of Jesus were
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: filled with the holy gast. And many of them saw
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: and heard unspeakable things which are not lawful to be written.
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: And they taught and administer one to another. And they
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: had all things common among them, every man dealing justly
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: one with another. And it came to pass that they
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: did do all things even as Jesus had commanded them.
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 1: And they who were baptized in the name of Jesus
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: were called the Church of Christ. End of Third Nephi,
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 1: chapters twenty one through twenty six, Third Phi, chapter twenty seven.
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that as the disciples of
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 1: Jesus were journeying and were preaching the things which they
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 1: had both heard and seen, and were baptizing in the
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: name of Jesus, it came to pass that the disciples
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: were gathered together and were united in mighty prayer and fasting.
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: And Jesus again showed himself unto them, for they were
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: praying unto the Father in his name. And Jesus came
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: and stood in the midst of them, and said unto them,
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: what will ye that I shall give unto you? And
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: they said, unto him, Lord, we will that thou wouldst
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: tell us the name whereby we shall call this church.
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 1: For there are disputations among the people concerning this matter,
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: and the Lord said unto them. Verily, Verily, I say
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: unto you, why is it that the people should murmur
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: and dispute because of this thing? Have ye not read
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 1: the scriptures which say, ye must take upon you the
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 1: name of Christ, which is my name. For by this
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: name shall ye be called at the last day. And
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: whoso taketh upon him my name and endureth to the end,
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 1: the same shall be saved at the last day. Therefore,
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: whatsoever ye shall do, ye shall do it in my name.
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 1: Therefore ye shall call the church in my name, and
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 1: ye shall call upon the Father in my name, that
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 1: he will bless the church for my sake. And how
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 1: be it my church, save it be called in my name.
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 1: For if a church be called in Moses's name, then
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 1: it be Moses's church. Or if it be called in
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: the name of a man, then it be the church
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 1: of a man. But if it be called in my name,
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 1: then it is my church. If it so be that
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 1: they are built upon my gospel, Verily I say unto you,
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 1: that ye are built upon my gospel. Therefore ye shall
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 1: call whatsoever things ye do call in my name. Therefore,
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 1: if ye shall call upon the Father for the church.
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 1: If it be in my name, the Father will hear you.
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: And if it so be that the church is built
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 1: upon my gospel, then will the Father show forth his
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: own works in it. But if it be not built
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: upon my gospel, and is built upon the works of man,
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: nor upon the works of the devil, Verily, I say
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 1: unto you, they have joy in their works for a season,
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: and by and by the end cometh, and they are
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 1: hewn down and cast into the fire, from whence there
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 1: is no return for their works. Do follow them, for
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 1: it is because of their works that they are hewn down. Therefore,
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 1: remember the things that I have told you. Behold, I
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 1: have given unto you my gospel. And this is the
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 1: gospel which I have given unto you, that I came
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 1: into the world to do the will of my Father,
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 1: because my father sent me. And my father sent me
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 1: that I might be lifted up upon the cross. And
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 1: after that I had been lifted up upon the cross,
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 1: that I might draw all men unto me, that as
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: I have been lifted up by men, even so shall
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 1: men be lifted up by the Father to stand before me,
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 1: to be judged of their works, whether they be good
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: or whether they be evil, And for this cause have
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: I been lifted up. Therefore, according to the power of
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 1: the Father, I will draw all men unto me, that
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 1: they may be judged according to their works. And it
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 1: shall come to pass that whoso repenteth and is baptized
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 1: in my name shall be filled. And if he endureth
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 1: to the end, behold him. Will I hold guiltless before
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 1: my Father at that day when I shall stand to
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 1: judge the world. And he that endureth not unto the end,
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 1: the same as he that is also hewn down and
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 1: cast into the fire, from whence they can no more return,
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: because of the justice of the Father. And this is
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 1: the word which he hath given unto the children of men.
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 1: And for this cause he fulfilleth the words which he
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: hath given. And he lieth not, but fulfilleth all his words.
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 1: And no unclean thing can enter into his kingdom. Therefore
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 1: nothing entereth into his rest, save it be those who
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: have washed their garments in my blood, because of their
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 1: faith and the repentance of all their sins, and their
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: faithfulness unto the end. Now this is the commandment. Repent
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 1: all ye ends of the earth, and come unto me,
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 1: and be baptized in my name, that ye may be
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 1: sanctified by the reception of the Holy Ghost, that ye
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 1: may stand spotless before me at the last day. Verily, verily,
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 1: I say unto you, this is my Gospel. And ye
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 1: know the things that ye must do in my Church.
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 1: For the works which ye have seen me do, that
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 1: shall ye also do. For that which ye have seen
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 1: me do, Even that shall ye do. Therefore, if ye
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: do these things, blessed are ye, for ye shall be
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: lifted up at the last day. Write the things which
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 1: ye have seen and heard, save it be those which
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 1: are forbidden. Write the works of this people which shall
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: be even as hath been written, of that which hath
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 1: been for Behold, out of the books which have been
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 1: written and which shall be written, shall this be will
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 1: be judged? For by them, shall their works be known
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 1: unto men. And behold, all things are written by the Father. Therefore,
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 1: out of the books which shall be written, shall the
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 1: world be judged. And know ye that ye shall be
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 1: judges of this people according to the judgment which I
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 1: shall give unto you, which shall be just. Therefore, what
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 1: manner of men ought you to be? Verily I say
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 1: unto you, even as I am. And now I go
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 1: into the Father. And verily I say unto you, whatsoever
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 1: things ye shall ask the Father in my name shall
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 1: be given unto you. Therefore ask, and ye shall receive knock,
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 1: and it shall be opened unto you. For he that
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 1: asketh receiveth and unto him that knocketh it shall be opened.
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 1: And now behold, my joy is great, even unto fullness,
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 1: because of you, and also this generation yea, and even
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 1: the Father rejoiceth, and also all the holy angels because
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 1: of you and this generation, for none of them are lost. Behold,
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: I would that ye should understand, for I mean them
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 1: who are now alive of this generation, and none of
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 1: them are lost. And in them I have fullness of joy.
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 1: But behold, it sorroweth me because of the fourth generation
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 1: from this generation, for they are led away captive by him,
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 1: even as was the son of Perdition. For they will
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 1: sell me for silver and for gold, and for that
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 1: which moth doth corrupt, and which thieves can break through,
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 1: and steel. And in that day will I visit them,
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 1: even in turning their works upon their own heads. And
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 1: it came to pass that when Jesus had ended these sayings,
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 1: he said, unto his disciples, enter ye in at the
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 1: straight gate. For straight is the gate, and ne'er is
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 1: the way that leads to life, and few there be
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 1: that find it. But wide is the gate, and rod
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 1: the way which leads to death, and many there be
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 1: that travel therein until the night cometh, wherein no man
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 1: can work third Ney five, chapter twenty eight. And it
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 1: came to pass when Jesus had said these words, he
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 1: spake unto his disciples, one by one, saying unto them,
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 1: what is it that ye desire of me? After that
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 1: I am gone to the Father? And they all spake,
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 1: save it were three, saying, we desire that, after we
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 1: have lived unto the age of man, that our ministry,
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 1: wherein thou hast called us, may have an end, that
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 1: we may speedily come unto thee in thy kingdom. And
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 1: he said unto them, blessed are ye, because he desired
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 1: this thing of me. Therefore, after that year seventy and
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 1: two years old, ye shall come unto me and my kingdom,
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 1: and with me ye shall find rest. And when he
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 1: had spoken unto them, he turned himself unto the three
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 1: and said, unto them, What will ye that I should
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 1: do unto you when I am gone again unto the Father.
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 1: And they sorrowed in their hearts, for they durst not
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 1: speak unto him the things which they desired, And he
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 1: said unto them, behold, I know your thoughts, and ye
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 1: have desired the thing which John, my beloved, who was
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 1: with me in my ministry before that I was lifted
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 1: up by the Jews desired of me. Therefore more blessed
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 1: are ye, for ye shall never taste of death, but
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 1: ye shall live to behold all the doings of the
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 1: Father unto the children of men, even until all things
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 1: shall be fulfilled according to the will of the Father.
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 1: When I shall come in my glory with the powers
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 1: of heaven, and ye shall never endure the pains of death.
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 1: But when I shall come in my glory, ye shall
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 1: be changed in the twinkling of an eye from mortality
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 1: to immortality. And then shall ye be blessed in the
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 1: kingdom of my Father. And again ye shall not have pain,
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 1: while ye shall dwell in the flesh, neither sorrow, save
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 1: it be for the sins of the world. And all
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 1: this will I do because of the thing which ye
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 1: have desired of me, For ye have desired that ye
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 1: might bring the souls of men unto me, while the
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 1: world shall stand. And for this cause ye shall have
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 1: fullness of joy, and ye shall sit down in the
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 1: kingdom of my Father. Yea, your joy shall be full,
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 1: even as the Father hath given me fullness of joy.
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 1: And ye shall be even as I am and I am,
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 1: even as the Father and the Father and I are one.
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 1: And the Holy Ghost beareth record of the Father and me.
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 1: And the Father giveth the Holy Ghost unto the children
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 1: of men because of me. And it came to pass
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 1: that when Jesus had spoken these words, he touched every
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 1: one of them with his finger, save it were the
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 1: three who were to tarry. And then he departed. And behold,
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 1: the heavens were opened, and they were caught up into heaven,
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 1: and saw and heard unspeakable things. And it was forbidden
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 1: them that they should utter. Neither was it given unto
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 1: them power that they could to utter the things which
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 1: they saw and heard. And whether they were in the
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 1: body or out of the body, they could not tell.
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 1: For it did seem unto them like a transfiguration of them,
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 1: that they were changed from this body of flesh into
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 1: an immortal state, that they could behold the things of God.
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 1: But it came to pass that they did again minister
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 1: unto the face of the earth. Nevertheless, they did not
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 1: minister of the things which they had heard and seen,
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 1: because of the commandment which was given them in heaven.
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 1: And now whether they were mortal or immortal from the
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 1: day of their transfiguration, I know not, But this much
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 1: I know, according to the record which hath been given,
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 1: they did go forth upon the face of the land,
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 1: and did minister unto all the people, uniting as many
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 1: to the Church as would believe in their preaching, baptizing them,
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 1: and as many as were baptized did receive the Holy Ghost.
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 1: And they were cast into prison by them who did
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 1: not belong to the Church, and the prisons could not
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 1: hold them. They were rent and twain, and they were
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 1: cast down into the earth. But they did smite the
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 1: earth with the word of God, insomuch that by His
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 1: power they were delivered out of the depths of the earth.
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 1: And therefore they could not dig pits sufficient to hold them.
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 1: And thrice they were cast into a furnace and received
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 1: no harm. And twice were they cast into a den
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 1: of wild beasts. And behold, they did play with the
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 1: beasts as a child with a suckling lamb, and received
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 1: no harm. And it came to pass that thus did
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 1: they go forth among all the people of Nephi, and
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 1: had preached the Gospel of Christ and to all the
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 1: people upon the face of the land. And they were
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 1: converted unto the Lord, and were united unto the Church
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 1: of Christ. And thus the people of that generation were
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 1: blessed according to the word of Jesus. And now I Mormon,
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 1: make an end of speaking concerning these things for a time. Behold,
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 1: I was about to write the names of those who
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 1: were never to taste of death, But the Lord forbade
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 1: therefore I write them them not, for they are hid
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 1: from the world. But behold, I have seen them, and
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 1: they have ministered unto me. And behold, they will be
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 1: among the Gentiles, and the gentiles shall know them not.
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 1: They will also be among the Jews, and the Jews
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 1: shall know them not. And it shall come to pass
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 1: when the Lord seeth fit in his wisdom, that they
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 1: shall minister into all the scattered tribes of Israel, and
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 1: unto all nations, kindreds tongues and people, and shall bring
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 1: out of them unto Jesus many souls, that their desire
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 1: may be fulfilled. And also because of the convincing power
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 1: of God which is in them. And they are as
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 1: the angels of God. And if they shall pray unto
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 1: the Father in the name of Jesus, they can show
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 1: themselves unto whatsoever man it seemeth them good. Therefore, great
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 1: and marvelous work shall be wrought by them before the
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 1: great and coming day, when all people must surely stand
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 1: before the judgment seat of Christ. Yea even among the gentiles,
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 1: shall there be a great and marvelous work wrought by
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 1: them before the judgment day. And if ye had all
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 1: the scriptures which give an account of all the marvelous
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 1: works of Christ, ye would, according to the words of Christ,
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 1: know that these things must surely come. And woe unto
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 1: him that will not hearken unto the words of Jesus,
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: and also to them whom He hath chosen and sent
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 1: among them. For whoso receiveth not the words of Jesus,
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 1: and the words of those whom he hath sent receiveth
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 1: not him. And therefore he will not receive them at
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 1: the last day, and it would be better for them
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 1: if they had not been born. For ye suppose that
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 1: ye can get rid of the justice of an offended God,
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 1: who hath been trampled under feet of men, that thereby
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 1: salvation might come. And now behold, as I spake concerning
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 1: those whom the Lord hath chosen, yea even three who
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 1: were caught up into the heavens. That I knew not
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 1: whether they were cleansed from mortality to immortality. But behold,
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 1: since I wrote, I have inquired of the Lord, and
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 1: he hath made it manifest unto me that there must
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 1: needs be a change wrought upon their bodies, or else
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 1: it need be that they must taste of death. Therefore,
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 1: that they might not taste of death, there was a
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 1: change rot upon their bodies, that they might not suffer
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 1: pain nor sorrow, save it were for the sins of
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 1: the world. Now this change was not equal to that
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 1: which shall take place at the last day. But there
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 1: was a change wrought upon them in so much that
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 1: Satan could have no power over them, that he could
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 1: not tempt them. And they were sanctified in the flesh,
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 1: that they were holy, and that the powers of the
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 1: earth could not hold them. And in this state they
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 1: were to remain until the judgment day of Christ. And
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 1: at that day they were to receive a greater change
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 1: and to be received into the Kingdom of the Father,
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 1: to go no more out, but to dwell eternally in
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 1: the heavens Third Nephive, chapter twenty nine. And now behold,
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 1: I say unto you that when the Lord shall see
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 1: fit in his wisdom that these sayings shall come unto
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 1: the Gentiles according to his word, then ye may know
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 1: that the covenant which the Father hath made with the
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 1: children of Israel concerning their restoration to the lands of
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 1: their inheritance, is already beginning to be fulfilled. And ye
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 1: may know that the words of the Lord which have
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 1: been spoken by the Holy prophets, shall all be fulfilled.
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 1: And ye need not say that the Lord delays his
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 1: coming unto the children of Israel. And ye need not
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 1: imagine in your hearts that the words which have been
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 1: spoken are vain. For behold, the Lord will remember his
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 1: covenant which he hath made unto his people of the
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 1: House of Israel. And when ye shall see these sayings
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 1: coming forth among you, then ye need not any longer
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 1: spurn at the doings of the Lord, for the sword
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 1: of his justice is in his right hand. And behold,
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 1: at that day, if ye shall spurn at his doings,
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 1: he will cause that it shall soon overtake you. Woe
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 1: unto him that spurneth at the doings of the Lord.
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 3: YEA.
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 1: Woe unto him that shall deny the Christ and his works. YEA,
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 1: woe unto him that shall deny the revelations of the Lord.
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 1: And that shall say the Lord no longer worketh by revelation,
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 1: or by prophecy, or by gifts, or by tongues, or
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 1: by healings, or by the power of the Holy Ghost. Yea,
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 1: And woe unto him that shall say at that day
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 1: to get gained, that there can be no miracle wrought
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 1: by Jesus Christ. For he that doeth this shall become
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 1: likened to the son of Perdition, for whom there was
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 1: no mercy according to the Word of Christ.
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 4: Yea.
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 1: And ye need not any longer his nor spurn, nor
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 1: make game of the Jews, nor any of the remnant
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 1: of the House of Israel. For behold, the Lord remembereth
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 1: his covenant unto them, and he will do unto them
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 1: according to that which he hath sworn. Therefore, ye need
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 1: not suppose that ye can turn the right hand of
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 1: the Lord unto the left, that he may not execute
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 1: judgment unto the fulfilling of the covenant which he hath
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 1: made unto the House of Israel. Thirty five, Chapter thirty hearken, o,
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 1: ye gentiles, and hear the words of Jesus Christ, the
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 1: son of the Living God God, which he hath commanded
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 1: me that I should speak concerning you. For behold, he
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 1: commandeth me that I should write, saying, turn all, ye gentiles,
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 1: from your wicked ways, and repent of your evil doings,
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 1: of your lyings and deceivings, and of your hortems, and
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 1: of your secret abominations and your idolatries, and of your
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 1: murders and your priestcrafts, and your envyings and your strifes,
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 1: and from all your wickedness and abominations, and come unto
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 1: me and be baptized in my name, that ye may
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 1: receive a remission of your sins, and be filled with
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 1: the Holy Ghost, that ye may be numbered with my
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 1: people who are of the House of Israel. End of
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 1: thirty five chapters twenty seven through thirty.
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 3: Fourth Nephi to Mormon, chapter four. And it came to
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 3: pass that the thirty and fourth year passed away, and
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 3: also the thirty and fifth, And behold, the disciples of
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 3: Christ had formed a Church of Christ in all the
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 3: lands round about, And as many as did come unto
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 3: them and did truly repent of their sins, were baptized
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 3: in the name of Jesus. And they did also receive
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 3: the Holy Ghost. And it came to pass in the
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 3: thirty and sixth year the people were all converted unto
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 3: the Lord upon all the face of the land, both
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 3: Nephites and Lamanites. And there were no contentions and disputations
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 3: among them, and every man did deal justly one with another,
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 3: and they had all things common among them. Therefore there
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 3: were not rich and poor, bond and free, but they
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 3: were all made free and partakers of the heavenly gift.
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 3: And it came to pass that the thirty and seventh
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 3: year passed away also, And there still continued to be
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 3: peace in the land. And there were great and marvelous
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 3: works wrought by the disciples of Christ, insomuch that they
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 3: did heal the sick and raise the dead, and cause
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 3: the lame to walk, and the blind to receive their sight,
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 3: and the deaf to hear, And all manner of miracles
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 3: did they work among the children of men. And in
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 3: nothing did they work miracles, save it were in the
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 3: name of Jesus. And thus did the thirty and eighth
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 3: year pass away, and also the thirty and ninth, and
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 3: forty and first and the forty and second yeay, even
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 3: until forty and nine years had passed away, and also
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 3: the fifty and firs and the fifty and second yay,
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 3: and even until fifty and nine years had passed away.
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 3: And the Lord did prosper them exceedingly in the land Yay,
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 3: insomuch that they did build cities again where there had
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 3: been cities burned. Yay, even that great city Zarahemla did
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 3: they cause to be built again. But there were many
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 3: cities which had been sunk, and waters came up in
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 3: the stead thereof. Therefore these cities could not be renewed.
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 3: And now behold it came to pass that the people
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 3: of Nephi did wax strong and did multiply exceedingly fast,
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 3: and became an exceedingly fair and delightsome people. And they
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 3: were married and given in marriage, and were blessed according
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 3: to the multitude of the promises which the Lord had
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 3: made unto them. And they did not walk anymore after
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 3: the performances and ordinances of the Law of Moses. But
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 3: they did walk after the commandments which they had received
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 3: from their Lord and their God, continuing in fasting and prayer,
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 3: and in meeting together oft, both to pray and to
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 3: hear the word of the Lord. And it came to
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 3: pass that there was no contention among all the people
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 3: in all the land. But there were mighty miracles wrought
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 3: among the disciples of Jesus. And it came to pass
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 3: that the seventy and first year passed away, and also
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 3: the seventy and second year. Yeay, in fine till the
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 3: seventy and ninth year had passed away. Yea, even an
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 3: hundred years had passed away, And the disciples of Jesus
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 3: whom he had chosen had all gone to the paradise
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 3: of God, save it were the three who should tarry.
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 3: And there were other disciples ordained in their stead. And
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 3: also many of that generation had passed away. And it
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 3: came to pass that there was no contention in the
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 3: land because of the love of God, which did dwell
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 3: in the hearts of the people. And there were no envyings,
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 3: nor strifes, nor tumults, nor horedoms, nor lyings, nor murders,
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 3: nor any manner of leshivousness. And surely there could not
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 3: be a happier people among all the people who had
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 3: been created by the hand of God. There were no
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 3: robbers nor murderers, neither were their Lamanites, nor any manner
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 3: of heights. But they were in one the children of
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 3: Christ and heirs to the Kingdom of God. And how
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 3: blessed were they, for the Lord did bless them in
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 3: all their doings. Yeay, even they were blessed and prospered,
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 3: until in one hundred and ten years had passed away,
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 3: and the first generation from Christ had passed away, and
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 3: there was no contention in all the land. And it
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 3: came to pass that Nephi, he that kept this last record,
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 3: and he kept it upon the plates of Nephi, died,
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 3: and his son Amos kept it in his stead, and
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 3: he kept it upon the plates of Nephi also, and
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 3: he kept it eighty and four years, and there was
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 3: still peace in the land save it were a small
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 3: part of the people who had revolted from the Church
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 3: and taken upon them the name of Laimanites. Therefore there
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 3: began to be Lamanites again in the land. And it
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 3: came to pass that Amos died also, And it was
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 3: one hundred and ninety and four years from the coming
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 3: of Christ. And his son Amos kept the record in
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 3: his stead, and he also kept it upon the plates
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 3: of Nephi. And it was also written in the Book
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 3: of Nephi, which is this book. And it came to
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 3: pass that two hundred years had passed away, and the
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 3: second generation had all passed away, save it were a few.
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 3: And now I Mormon would that ye should know that
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 3: the people had multiplied insomuch that they were spread upon
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 3: all the face of the land, and that they had
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 3: become exceedingly rich because of their prosperity in Christ. And
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 3: now in this two hundred and first year, there began
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 3: to be among them those who were lifted up in pride,
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 3: such as the wearing of costly apparel and all manner,
• 2:05:31
  Speaker 3: of fine pearls, and of the fine things of the world.
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 3: And from that time forth they did have their goods
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 3: and their substance no more common among them, and they
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 3: began to be divided into classes, and they began to
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 3: build up churches unto themselves to get gain, and began
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 3: to deny the True Church of Christ. And it came
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 3: to pass that when to one hundred and ten years
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 3: had passed away, there were many churches in the land. Yeay,
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 3: there were many churches which professed to know the Christ,
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 3: and yet they did deny the more parts of his Gospel,
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 3: insomuch that they did receive all manner of wickedness, and
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 3: did administer that which was sacred unto Him, to whom
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 3: it had been forbidden because of unworthiness. And this church
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 3: did multiply exceedingly because of iniquity, and because of the
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 3: power of Satan, who did get hold upon their hearts.
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 3: And again there was another church which denied the Christ.
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 3: And they did persecute the True Church of Christ because
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 3: of their humility and their belief in Christ. And they
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 3: did despise them because of the many miracles which were
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 3: wrought among them. Therefore, they did exercise power and authority
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 3: over the disciples of Jesus who did tarry with them,
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 3: and they did cast them into prison. But by the
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 3: power of the Word of God which was in them.
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 3: The prisons were rent in twain, and they went forth
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 3: doing mighty miracles among them. Nevertheless, and notwithstanding all these miracles,
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 3: the people did harden their hearts and did seek to
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 3: kill them, even as the Jews at Jerusalem sought to
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 3: kill Jesus according to his word. And they did cast
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 3: them into furnaces of fire, and they came forth receiving
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 3: no harm. And they also cast them into dens of
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 3: wild beasts, and they did play with the wild beasts,
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 3: even as a child with a lamb, and they did
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 3: come forth from among them, receiving no harm. Nevertheless, the
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 3: people did harden their hearts, for they were led by
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 3: many priests and false prophets to build up many churches,
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 3: and to do all manner of iniquity. And they did
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 3: smite upon the people of Jesus. But the people of
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 3: Jesus did not smite again. And thus they did dwindle
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 3: in unbelief and wickedness from year to year, even until
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 3: two hundred and thirty years had passed away. And now
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 3: it came to pass in this year. Yeay, in the
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 3: two hundred and thirty in first year, there was a
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 3: great division among the people. And it came to pass
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 3: that in this year there arose a people who were
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 3: called the Nephites, and they were true believers in Christ.
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 3: And among them there were those who were called by
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 3: the Lamanites, Jacobites, Josephites, and Zoramites. Therefore the true believers
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 3: in Christ and the true worshipers of Christ, among whom
• 2:09:15
  Speaker 3: were the three disciples of Jesus who should tarry, were
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 3: called Nephites and Jacobites, and Josephites and Zoramites. And it
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 3: came to pass that they who rejected the Gospel were
• 2:09:32
  Speaker 3: called Lamanites and Lemuelites and Ishmaelites. And they did not
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 3: dwindle in unbelief, but they did wilfully rebel against the
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 3: Gospel of Christ. And they did teach their children that
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 3: they should not believe, even as their fathers from the
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 3: beginning did dwindle. And it was because of the wickedness
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 3: and abomination of their fathers, even as it was in
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 3: the beginning, and they were taught to hate the children
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 3: of God, even as the Lamanites were taught to hate
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 3: the children of Nephi from the beginning. And it came
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 3: to pass that two hundred and forty and four years
• 2:10:17
  Speaker 3: had passed away, and thus were the affairs of the people,
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 3: and the more wicked part of the people did wax
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 3: strong and became exceedingly more numerous than were the people
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 3: of God. And they did still continue to build up
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 3: churches unto themselves, and adorn them with all manner of
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 3: precious things. And thus did two hundred and fifty years
• 2:10:43
  Speaker 3: pass away, and also two hundred and sixty years, And
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 3: it came to pass that the wicked part of the
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 3: people began again to build up the secret oaths and
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 3: combinations of Gadianton. And also the people who were called
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 3: the people of Nephi began to be proud in their
• 2:11:04
  Speaker 3: hearts because of their exceeding riches, and become vain like
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 3: unto their brethren, the Lamanites. And from this time the
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 3: disciples began to sorrow for the sins of the world.
• 2:11:20
  Speaker 3: And it came to pass that when three hundred years
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 3: had passed away, both the people of Nephi and the
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 3: Lamanites had become exceedingly wicked, one like unto another. And
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 3: it came to pass that the robbers of gaddy Anton
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 3: did spread over all the face of the land, and
• 2:11:42
  Speaker 3: there were none that were righteous, save it were the
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 3: disciples of Jesus. And gold and silver did they lay
• 2:11:51
  Speaker 3: up in store in abundance, and did traffic in all
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 3: manner of traffic. And it came to pass that after
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 3: three hundred and five years had passed away, and the
• 2:12:05
  Speaker 3: people did still remain in wickedness, Amos died, and his
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 3: brother Amarn did keep the record in his stead. And
• 2:12:16
  Speaker 3: it came to pass that when three hundred and twenty
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 3: years had passed away, Amarn, being constrained by the Holy Ghost,
• 2:12:25
  Speaker 3: did hide up the records which were sacred. Yea, even
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 3: all the sacred records which had been handed down from
• 2:12:33
  Speaker 3: generation to generation, which were sacred even until the three
• 2:12:39
  Speaker 3: hundred and twentieth year from the coming of Christ. And
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 3: he did hide them up unto the Lord, that they
• 2:12:47
  Speaker 3: might come again unto the remnant of the House of Jacob,
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 3: according to the prophecies and the promises of the Lord.
• 2:12:56
  Speaker 3: And thus is the end of the record of a
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 3: maron the Book of Mormon Mormon, chapter one. And now I, Mormon,
• 2:13:10
  Speaker 3: make a record of the things which I have both
• 2:13:13
  Speaker 3: seen and heard, and call it the Book of Mormon.
• 2:13:18
  Speaker 3: And about the time that a Maron hid up the
• 2:13:21
  Speaker 3: records unto the Lord, he came unto me, I being
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 3: about ten years of age, and I began to be
• 2:13:29
  Speaker 3: learned somewhat after the manner of the learning of my people.
• 2:13:34
  Speaker 3: And a Maren said unto me, I perceive that thou
• 2:13:38
  Speaker 3: art a sober child and art quick to observe. Therefore,
• 2:13:44
  Speaker 3: when ye're about twenty and four years old, I would
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 3: that ye should remember the things that ye have observed
• 2:13:51
  Speaker 3: concerning this people. And when ye are of that age,
• 2:13:55
  Speaker 3: go to the land antem unto a hill which shall
• 2:13:58
  Speaker 3: be called Shim, And there have I deposited unto the Lord,
• 2:14:03
  Speaker 3: all the sacred engravings concerning this people. And behold, ye
• 2:14:09
  Speaker 3: shall take the plates of Nephi unto yourself, and the
• 2:14:13
  Speaker 3: remainder shall ye leave in the place where they are,
• 2:14:16
  Speaker 3: and ye shall engrave on the plates of Nephi all
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 3: the things that ye have observed concerning this people. And
• 2:14:25
  Speaker 3: I Mormon, being a descendant of Nephi, and my father's
• 2:14:30
  Speaker 3: name was Mormon. I remembered the things which a Marin
• 2:14:35
  Speaker 3: commanded me. And it came to pass that I, being
• 2:14:39
  Speaker 3: eleven years old, was carried by my father into the
• 2:14:43
  Speaker 3: land southward, even to the land of Zarahemla. The whole
• 2:14:48
  Speaker 3: face of the land had become covered with buildings, and
• 2:14:52
  Speaker 3: the people were as numerous, almost as it were the
• 2:14:56
  Speaker 3: sand of the sea. And it came to pass in
• 2:14:59
  Speaker 3: this year there began to be a war between the Nephites,
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 3: who consisted of the Nephites and the Jacobites, and the
• 2:15:07
  Speaker 3: Josephites and the Zoramites. And this war was between the
• 2:15:12
  Speaker 3: Nephites and the Lamanites, and the Lemulites and the Ishmaelites.
• 2:15:18
  Speaker 3: Now the Lamanites and the Lemulites and the Ishmaelites were
• 2:15:22
  Speaker 3: called Lamanites, and the two parties were Nephytes and Lamanites.
• 2:15:28
  Speaker 3: And it came to pass that the war began to
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 3: be among them in the borders of Zarahemla, by the
• 2:15:35
  Speaker 3: waters of Sidon. And it came to pass that the
• 2:15:40
  Speaker 3: Nephites had gathered together a great number of men, even
• 2:15:44
  Speaker 3: to exceed the number of thirty thousand. And it came
• 2:15:49
  Speaker 3: to pass that they did have in this same year
• 2:15:52
  Speaker 3: a number of battles in which the Nephites did beat
• 2:15:56
  Speaker 3: the Lamanites and did slay many of them, and it
• 2:16:01
  Speaker 3: came to pass that the Lamanites withdrew their design, and
• 2:16:05
  Speaker 3: there was peace settled in the land. And peace did
• 2:16:09
  Speaker 3: remain for the space of about four years, that there
• 2:16:14
  Speaker 3: was no bloodshed, But wickedness did prevail upon the face
• 2:16:19
  Speaker 3: of the whole land, insomuch that the Lord did take
• 2:16:22
  Speaker 3: away his beloved disciples, and the work of miracles and
• 2:16:27
  Speaker 3: of healing did cease because of the iniquity of the people,
• 2:16:33
  Speaker 3: and there were no gifts from the Lord, and the
• 2:16:36
  Speaker 3: holy ghosts did not come upon any because of their
• 2:16:40
  Speaker 3: wickedness and unbelief. And I being fifteen years of age
• 2:16:46
  Speaker 3: and being somewhat of a sober mind, therefore I was
• 2:16:51
  Speaker 3: visited of the Lord and tasted and knew of the
• 2:16:55
  Speaker 3: goodness of Jesus. And I did endeavor to preach unto
• 2:17:01
  Speaker 3: this people, but my mouth was shut, and I was
• 2:17:05
  Speaker 3: forbidden that I should preach unto them, for behold, they
• 2:17:09
  Speaker 3: had wilfully rebelled against their God, and the beloved disciples
• 2:17:14
  Speaker 3: were taken away out of the land because of their iniquity.
• 2:17:19
  Speaker 3: But I did remain among them, but I was forbidden
• 2:17:23
  Speaker 3: to preach unto them because of the hardness of their hearts,
• 2:17:27
  Speaker 3: and because of the hardness of their hearts, the land
• 2:17:30
  Speaker 3: was cursed for their sake. And these gadyanton robbers, who
• 2:17:36
  Speaker 3: were among the Lamanites, did infest the land insomuch that
• 2:17:40
  Speaker 3: the inhabitants thereof began to hide up their treasures in
• 2:17:44
  Speaker 3: the earth, and they became slippery, because the Lord had
• 2:17:48
  Speaker 3: cursed the land, that they could not hold them nor
• 2:17:52
  Speaker 3: retain them again. And it came to pass that there
• 2:17:56
  Speaker 3: were sorceries and witchcrafts and magics, and the power of
• 2:18:00
  Speaker 3: the evil One was wrought upon all the face of
• 2:18:03
  Speaker 3: the land, even unto the fulfilling of all the words
• 2:18:07
  Speaker 3: of Abinadai and also Samuel the Lamanite Mormon, Chapter two.
• 2:18:15
  Speaker 3: And it came to pass in that same year there
• 2:18:18
  Speaker 3: began to be a war again between the Nephites and
• 2:18:22
  Speaker 3: the Lamanites. And notwithstanding I, being young, was large in stature. Therefore,
• 2:18:29
  Speaker 3: the people of Nephite appointed me that I should be
• 2:18:32
  Speaker 3: their leader or the leader of their armies. Therefore it
• 2:18:36
  Speaker 3: came to pass that in my sixteenth year I did
• 2:18:40
  Speaker 3: go forth at the head of an army of the
• 2:18:42
  Speaker 3: Nephites against the Lamanites. Therefore, three hundred and twenty and
• 2:18:47
  Speaker 3: six years had passed away, and it came to pass
• 2:18:51
  Speaker 3: that in the three one hundred and twenty and seventh year,
• 2:18:55
  Speaker 3: the Lamanites did come upon us with exceedingly great power,
• 2:18:59
  Speaker 3: in so much that they did frighten my armies. Therefore
• 2:19:03
  Speaker 3: they would not fight, and they began to retreat towards
• 2:19:07
  Speaker 3: the north countries. And it came to pass that we
• 2:19:10
  Speaker 3: did come to the city of Angola, and we did
• 2:19:14
  Speaker 3: take possession of the city and make preparations to defend
• 2:19:18
  Speaker 3: ourselves against the Lamanites. And it came to pass that
• 2:19:23
  Speaker 3: we did fortify the city with our might. But notwithstanding
• 2:19:28
  Speaker 3: all our fortifications, the Lamanites did come upon us and
• 2:19:33
  Speaker 3: did drive us out of the city. And they did
• 2:19:36
  Speaker 3: also drive us forth out of the land of David.
• 2:19:40
  Speaker 3: And we marched forth and came to the land of Joshua,
• 2:19:44
  Speaker 3: which was in the borders west by the seashore. And
• 2:19:48
  Speaker 3: it came to pass that we did gather in our
• 2:19:51
  Speaker 3: people as fast as it were possible, that we might
• 2:19:55
  Speaker 3: get them together in one body. But behold, the and
• 2:20:00
  Speaker 3: was filled with robbers and with Lamanites. And notwithstanding the
• 2:20:05
  Speaker 3: great destruction which hung over my people, they did not
• 2:20:09
  Speaker 3: repent of their evil doings. Therefore there was blood and
• 2:20:14
  Speaker 3: carnage spread throughout all the face of the land, both
• 2:20:18
  Speaker 3: on the part of the Nephites and also on the
• 2:20:20
  Speaker 3: part of the Lamanites. And it was one complete revolution
• 2:20:25
  Speaker 3: throughout all the face of the land. And now the
• 2:20:29
  Speaker 3: Lamanites had a king, and his name was Erin, and
• 2:20:34
  Speaker 3: he came against us with an army of forty and
• 2:20:37
  Speaker 3: four thousand, and behold, I withstood him with forty and
• 2:20:42
  Speaker 3: two thousand, And it came to pass that I beat
• 2:20:46
  Speaker 3: him with my army, that he fled before me. And behold,
• 2:20:51
  Speaker 3: all this was done, And three hundred and thirty years
• 2:20:56
  Speaker 3: had passed away, and it came to pass that the
• 2:20:59
  Speaker 3: Nephite began to repent of their iniquity and began to cry,
• 2:21:04
  Speaker 3: even as had been prophesied by Samuel the Prophet. For behold,
• 2:21:09
  Speaker 3: no man could keep that which was his own, for
• 2:21:13
  Speaker 3: the thieves and the robbers, and the murderers, and the
• 2:21:17
  Speaker 3: magic art and the witchcraft which was in the land.
• 2:21:21
  Speaker 3: Thus there began to be a mourning and a lamentation
• 2:21:25
  Speaker 3: in all the land because of these things, and more
• 2:21:29
  Speaker 3: especially among the people of Nephi. And it came to
• 2:21:34
  Speaker 3: pass that when I Mormon saw their lamentation and their
• 2:21:39
  Speaker 3: mourning and their sorrow before the Lord, my heart did
• 2:21:43
  Speaker 3: begin to rejoice within me, knowing the mercies and the
• 2:21:47
  Speaker 3: long suffering of the Lord, therefore supposing that He would
• 2:21:53
  Speaker 3: be merciful unto them, that they would again become a
• 2:21:57
  Speaker 3: righteous people. But behold this my joy was vain. For
• 2:22:02
  Speaker 3: their sorrowing was not unto repentance because of the goodness
• 2:22:06
  Speaker 3: of God, but it was rather the sorrowing of the damned,
• 2:22:11
  Speaker 3: because the Lord would not always suffer them to take
• 2:22:15
  Speaker 3: happiness in sin. And they did not come unto Jesus
• 2:22:20
  Speaker 3: with broken hearts and contrite spirits, but they did curse
• 2:22:25
  Speaker 3: God and wished to die. Nevertheless, they would struggle with
• 2:22:31
  Speaker 3: the sword for their lives. And it came to pass
• 2:22:35
  Speaker 3: that my sorrow did return unto me again. And I
• 2:22:38
  Speaker 3: saw that the day of grace was passed with them,
• 2:22:42
  Speaker 3: both temporarily and spiritually. For I saw thousands of them
• 2:22:47
  Speaker 3: hewn down in open rebellion against their God, and heaped
• 2:22:52
  Speaker 3: up as doune upon the face of the land. And
• 2:22:56
  Speaker 3: thus three hundred and forty and four years had passed
• 2:23:01
  Speaker 3: away and it came to pass that in the three
• 2:23:05
  Speaker 3: hundred and forty and fifth year, the Nephites did begin
• 2:23:08
  Speaker 3: to flee before the Lamanites, and they were pursued until
• 2:23:13
  Speaker 3: they came even to the land of Jayshon, before it
• 2:23:17
  Speaker 3: was possible to stop them in their retreat. And now
• 2:23:22
  Speaker 3: the city of Jayshon was near the land where Amaran
• 2:23:26
  Speaker 3: had deposited the records unto the Lord, that they might
• 2:23:30
  Speaker 3: not be destroyed. And behold, I had gone according to
• 2:23:35
  Speaker 3: the word of Amaran and taken the plates of Nephi,
• 2:23:39
  Speaker 3: and did make a record according to the words of Amaran.
• 2:23:44
  Speaker 3: And upon the plates of Nephi I did make a
• 2:23:47
  Speaker 3: full account of all the wickedness and abominations. But upon
• 2:23:52
  Speaker 3: these plates I did forbear to make a full account
• 2:23:56
  Speaker 3: of their wickedness and abominations. For behold, a continual scene
• 2:24:01
  Speaker 3: of wickedness and abominations has been before mine eyes ever
• 2:24:07
  Speaker 3: since I have been sufficient to behold the ways of man.
• 2:24:13
  Speaker 3: And woe is me because of their wickedness. For my
• 2:24:17
  Speaker 3: heart has been filled with sorrow because of their wickedness
• 2:24:22
  Speaker 3: all my days. Nevertheless, I know that I shall be
• 2:24:27
  Speaker 3: lifted up at the last day, and it came to
• 2:24:31
  Speaker 3: pass that in this year the people of Nephi again
• 2:24:35
  Speaker 3: were hunted and driven, and it came to pass that
• 2:24:38
  Speaker 3: we were driven forth until we had come northward to
• 2:24:42
  Speaker 3: the land which was called Shem. And it came to
• 2:24:46
  Speaker 3: pass that we did fortify the city of Shem, and
• 2:24:49
  Speaker 3: we did gather in our people as much as it
• 2:24:52
  Speaker 3: were possible, that perhaps we might save them from destruction.
• 2:24:58
  Speaker 3: And it came to pass in the three one hundred
• 2:25:01
  Speaker 3: and forty and sixth year they began to come upon
• 2:25:05
  Speaker 3: us again, and it came to pass that I did
• 2:25:08
  Speaker 3: speak unto my people and did urge them with great
• 2:25:12
  Speaker 3: energy that they would stand boldly before the Lamanites and
• 2:25:16
  Speaker 3: fight for their wives and their children, and their houses
• 2:25:20
  Speaker 3: and their homes. And my words did arouse them somewhat
• 2:25:25
  Speaker 3: to vigor, insomuch that they did not flee from before
• 2:25:29
  Speaker 3: the Lamanites, but did stand with boldness against them. And
• 2:25:35
  Speaker 3: it came to pass that we did contend with an
• 2:25:38
  Speaker 3: army of thirty thousand against an army of fifty thousand.
• 2:25:43
  Speaker 3: And it came to pass that we did stand before
• 2:25:46
  Speaker 3: them with such firmness that they did flee from before us.
• 2:25:51
  Speaker 3: And it came to pass that when they had fled,
• 2:25:55
  Speaker 3: we did pursue them with our armies, and did meet
• 2:25:58
  Speaker 3: them again and did beat them. Nevertheless, the strength of
• 2:26:03
  Speaker 3: the Lord was not with us. Yea, we were left
• 2:26:07
  Speaker 3: to ourselves, that the spirit of the Lord did not
• 2:26:11
  Speaker 3: abide in us. Therefore we had become weak, like unto
• 2:26:16
  Speaker 3: our brethren. And my heart did sorrow because of this,
• 2:26:21
  Speaker 3: the great calamity of my people, because of their wickedness
• 2:26:25
  Speaker 3: and their abominations. But behold, we did go forth against
• 2:26:30
  Speaker 3: the Lamanites and the Robbers of gady Anton until we
• 2:26:34
  Speaker 3: had again taken possession of the lands of our inheritance,
• 2:26:40
  Speaker 3: and the three hundred and forty and ninth year had
• 2:26:43
  Speaker 3: passed away. And in the three one hundred and fiftieth
• 2:26:47
  Speaker 3: year we made a treaty with the Lamanites and the
• 2:26:51
  Speaker 3: Robbers of gady Anton, in which we did get the
• 2:26:54
  Speaker 3: lands of our inheritance divided, and the Lamanites did give
• 2:26:59
  Speaker 3: unto us the land northward, yea, even to the narrow
• 2:27:04
  Speaker 3: passage which led into the land southward. And we did
• 2:27:09
  Speaker 3: give unto the Lamanites all the land southward Mormon chapter three.
• 2:27:16
  Speaker 3: And it came to pass that the Lamanites did not
• 2:27:20
  Speaker 3: come to battle again until ten years more had passed away.
• 2:27:26
  Speaker 3: And behold, I had employed my people, the Nephites, in
• 2:27:30
  Speaker 3: preparing their lands and their arms against the time of battle.
• 2:27:35
  Speaker 3: And it came to pass that the Lord did say
• 2:27:38
  Speaker 3: unto me, cry unto this people, repent ye, and come
• 2:27:44
  Speaker 3: unto me, and be ye baptized, and build up again
• 2:27:49
  Speaker 3: my church, and ye shall be spared. And I did
• 2:27:54
  Speaker 3: cry unto this people, but it was in vain, and
• 2:27:58
  Speaker 3: they did not realize that it was the Lord that
• 2:28:01
  Speaker 3: had spared them and granted unto them a chance for repentance.
• 2:28:06
  Speaker 3: And behold, they did harden their hearts against the Lord
• 2:28:11
  Speaker 3: their God. And it came to pass that after this
• 2:28:16
  Speaker 3: tenth year had passed away, making in the hole three
• 2:28:20
  Speaker 3: hundred and sixty years from the coming of Christ, the
• 2:28:24
  Speaker 3: king of the Lamanites sent an epistle unto me, which
• 2:28:28
  Speaker 3: gave unto me to know that they were preparing to
• 2:28:32
  Speaker 3: come again to battle against us. And it came to
• 2:28:36
  Speaker 3: pass that I did cause my people that they should
• 2:28:39
  Speaker 3: gather themselves together at the land Desolation, to a city
• 2:28:44
  Speaker 3: which was in the borders by the narrow pass which
• 2:28:48
  Speaker 3: led into the land southward, and there we did place
• 2:28:53
  Speaker 3: our armies that we might stop the armies of the Lamanites,
• 2:28:57
  Speaker 3: that they might not get possession of any of our lands.
• 2:29:01
  Speaker 3: Therefore we did fortify them with all our force. And
• 2:29:06
  Speaker 3: it came to pass that in the three one hundred
• 2:29:09
  Speaker 3: and sixty and first year, the Lamanites did come down
• 2:29:13
  Speaker 3: to the city of Desolation to battle against us. And
• 2:29:17
  Speaker 3: it came to pass that in that year we did
• 2:29:21
  Speaker 3: beat them, insomuch that they did return to their own
• 2:29:25
  Speaker 3: lands again. And in the three hundred and sixty and
• 2:29:30
  Speaker 3: second year, they did come down again to battle, and
• 2:29:34
  Speaker 3: we did beat them again, and did slay a great
• 2:29:37
  Speaker 3: number of them, and they're dead were cast into the sea.
• 2:29:43
  Speaker 3: And now because of this great thing which my people,
• 2:29:47
  Speaker 3: the Nephites, had done, they began to boast in their
• 2:29:51
  Speaker 3: own strength and began to swear before the heavens that
• 2:29:55
  Speaker 3: they would avenge themselves of the blood of their brethren
• 2:29:59
  Speaker 3: who had been laying by their enemies. And they did
• 2:30:03
  Speaker 3: swear by the heavens and also by the Throne of God,
• 2:30:07
  Speaker 3: that they would go up to battle against their enemies
• 2:30:11
  Speaker 3: and would cut them off from the face of the land.
• 2:30:14
  Speaker 3: And it came to pass that I, Mormon, did utterly
• 2:30:19
  Speaker 3: refuse from this time forth to be a commander and
• 2:30:23
  Speaker 3: a leader of this people, because of their wickedness and abomination. Behold,
• 2:30:31
  Speaker 3: I had led them, notwithstanding their wickedness. I had led
• 2:30:35
  Speaker 3: them many times to battle, and had loved them according
• 2:30:39
  Speaker 3: to the love of God, which was in me. With
• 2:30:43
  Speaker 3: all my heart, and my soul had been poured out
• 2:30:47
  Speaker 3: in prayer unto my God all the day long for them. Nevertheless,
• 2:30:54
  Speaker 3: it was without faith, because of the hardness of their hearts.
• 2:31:00
  Speaker 3: Have I delivered them out of the hands of their enemies,
• 2:31:04
  Speaker 3: and they have repented not of their sins. And when
• 2:31:09
  Speaker 3: they had sworn by all that had been forbidden them
• 2:31:13
  Speaker 3: by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, that they would
• 2:31:17
  Speaker 3: go up unto their enemies to battle and avenge themselves
• 2:31:21
  Speaker 3: of the blood of their brethren, Behold, the voice of
• 2:31:25
  Speaker 3: the Lord came unto me, saying, vengeance is mine, and
• 2:31:31
  Speaker 3: I will repay. And because this people repented not after
• 2:31:37
  Speaker 3: I had delivered them, Behold, they shall be cut off
• 2:31:42
  Speaker 3: from the face of the earth. And it came to
• 2:31:46
  Speaker 3: pass that I utterly refused to go up against mine enemies.
• 2:31:51
  Speaker 3: And I did even as the Lord had commanded me,
• 2:31:55
  Speaker 3: and I did stand as an idol witness to manifest
• 2:32:00
  Speaker 3: unto the world the things which I saw and heard,
• 2:32:04
  Speaker 3: according to the manifestations of the Spirit which had testified
• 2:32:09
  Speaker 3: of things to come. Therefore I write unto you gentiles,
• 2:32:16
  Speaker 3: and also unto you house of Israel, when the work
• 2:32:20
  Speaker 3: shall commence, that ye shall be about to prepare to
• 2:32:24
  Speaker 3: return to the land of your inheritance. Yea, behold, I
• 2:32:31
  Speaker 3: write unto all the ends of the earth. Yea, unto
• 2:32:34
  Speaker 3: you twelve tribes of Israel, who shall be judged according
• 2:32:39
  Speaker 3: to your works, by the twelve whom Jesus chose to
• 2:32:44
  Speaker 3: be his disciples in the land of Jerusalem. And I
• 2:32:48
  Speaker 3: write also unto the remnant of this people, who shall
• 2:32:53
  Speaker 3: also be judged by the twelve whom Jesus chose in
• 2:32:57
  Speaker 3: this land. And they shall be judged by the other
• 2:33:01
  Speaker 3: twelve whom Jesus chose in the land of Jerusalem. And
• 2:33:06
  Speaker 3: these things doth the Spirit manifest unto me. Therefore I
• 2:33:12
  Speaker 3: write unto you all. And for this cause I write
• 2:33:17
  Speaker 3: unto you, that ye may know that ye must all
• 2:33:20
  Speaker 3: stand before the judgment seed of Christ. YEA, every soul
• 2:33:26
  Speaker 3: who belongs to the whole human family of Adam. And
• 2:33:30
  Speaker 3: ye must stand to be judged of your works, whether
• 2:33:34
  Speaker 3: they be good or evil. And also that ye may
• 2:33:39
  Speaker 3: believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which ye shall have
• 2:33:44
  Speaker 3: among you. And also that the Jews, the covenant people
• 2:33:48
  Speaker 3: of the Lord, shall have other witness besides Him whom
• 2:33:53
  Speaker 3: they saw and heard that Jesus, whom they slew, was
• 2:33:58
  Speaker 3: the very Christ and the very God. And I would
• 2:34:04
  Speaker 3: that I could persuade all ye ends of the earth
• 2:34:08
  Speaker 3: to repent and prepare to stand before the judgment seat
• 2:34:14
  Speaker 3: of Christ. End of Fourth Nephi to Mormon chapter four,
• 2:34:21
  Speaker 3: Mormon chapter four up to the Book of Ether Mormon
• 2:34:26
  Speaker 3: chapter four. And now it came to pass that in
• 2:34:31
  Speaker 3: the three hundred and sixty and third year, the Nephites
• 2:34:35
  Speaker 3: did go up with their armies to battle against the
• 2:34:39
  Speaker 3: Lamanites out of the land Desolation. And it came to
• 2:34:45
  Speaker 3: pass that the armies of the Nephites were driven back
• 2:34:48
  Speaker 3: again to the land of Desolation, And while they were
• 2:34:53
  Speaker 3: yet weary, a fresh army of the Lamanites did come
• 2:34:57
  Speaker 3: upon them, and they had a sore battle, insomuch that
• 2:35:01
  Speaker 3: the Lamanites did take possession of the city Desolation, and
• 2:35:06
  Speaker 3: did slay many of the Nephites, and did take many prisoners,
• 2:35:12
  Speaker 3: and the remainder did flee and join the inhabitants of
• 2:35:16
  Speaker 3: the city Tiancum. Now, the city Tiancum lay in the
• 2:35:21
  Speaker 3: borders by the seashore, and it was also near the
• 2:35:25
  Speaker 3: city Desolation. And it was because the armies of the
• 2:35:29
  Speaker 3: Nephites went up unto the Lamanites that they began to
• 2:35:34
  Speaker 3: be smitten. For were it not for that, the Lamanites
• 2:35:39
  Speaker 3: could have had no power over them. But behold, the
• 2:35:43
  Speaker 3: judgments of God will overtake the wicked. And it is
• 2:35:47
  Speaker 3: by the wicked that the wicked are punished. For it
• 2:35:51
  Speaker 3: is the wicked that stir up the hearts of the
• 2:35:54
  Speaker 3: children of men unto bloodshed. And it came to pass
• 2:35:59
  Speaker 3: that the layman knights did make preparations to come against
• 2:36:03
  Speaker 3: the city Tiancum, and it came to pass in the
• 2:36:07
  Speaker 3: three one hundred and sixty and fourth year the Lamanites
• 2:36:11
  Speaker 3: did come against the city Tiancum, that they might take
• 2:36:15
  Speaker 3: possession of the city Tiancum also, and it came to
• 2:36:20
  Speaker 3: pass that they were repulsed and driven back by the
• 2:36:24
  Speaker 3: Nephytes and when the Nephites saw that they had driven
• 2:36:28
  Speaker 3: the Lamanites, they did again boast of their own strength,
• 2:36:32
  Speaker 3: and they went forth in their own might and took
• 2:36:35
  Speaker 3: possession again of the city Desolation. And now all these
• 2:36:41
  Speaker 3: things had been done, and there had been thousands slain
• 2:36:45
  Speaker 3: on both sides, both the Nephytes and the Lamanites. And
• 2:36:50
  Speaker 3: it came to pass that the three one hundred and
• 2:36:53
  Speaker 3: sixty and sixth year had passed away, and the Lamanites
• 2:36:58
  Speaker 3: came again upon the Nephites to battle. And yet the
• 2:37:02
  Speaker 3: Nephites repented not of the evil they had done, but
• 2:37:06
  Speaker 3: persisted in their wickedness continually. And it is impossible for
• 2:37:13
  Speaker 3: the tongue to describe or for man to write a
• 2:37:16
  Speaker 3: perfect description of the horrible scene of the blood and
• 2:37:21
  Speaker 3: carnage which was among the people, both of the Nephites
• 2:37:25
  Speaker 3: and of the Lamanites. And every heart was hardened, so
• 2:37:29
  Speaker 3: that they delighted in the shedding of blood continually. And
• 2:37:34
  Speaker 3: there never had been so great wickedness among all the
• 2:37:39
  Speaker 3: children of Lehi, nor even among all the House of Israel,
• 2:37:44
  Speaker 3: according to the words of the Lord, as was among
• 2:37:48
  Speaker 3: this people. And it came to pass that the Lamanites
• 2:37:52
  Speaker 3: did take possession of the city Desolation, and this because
• 2:37:56
  Speaker 3: their number did exceed the number of the Nephites. And
• 2:38:01
  Speaker 3: they did also march forward against the city Tiancum, and
• 2:38:06
  Speaker 3: did drive the inhabitants fourth out of her, and did
• 2:38:10
  Speaker 3: take many prisoners, both women and children, and did offer
• 2:38:14
  Speaker 3: them up as sacrifices unto their idol gods. And it
• 2:38:21
  Speaker 3: came to pass that in the three one hundred and
• 2:38:24
  Speaker 3: sixty and seventh year, the Nephites, being angry because the
• 2:38:29
  Speaker 3: Lamanites had sacrificed their women and their children, that they
• 2:38:34
  Speaker 3: did go against the Lamanites with exceedingly great anger, insomuch
• 2:38:40
  Speaker 3: that they did beat again the Lamanites and drive them
• 2:38:44
  Speaker 3: out of their lands. And the Lamanites did not come
• 2:38:48
  Speaker 3: again against the Nephites until the three one hundred and
• 2:38:52
  Speaker 3: seventy and fifth year. And in this year they did
• 2:38:57
  Speaker 3: come down against the Nephites with all their powers, and
• 2:39:02
  Speaker 3: they were not numbered because of the greatness of their number.
• 2:39:06
  Speaker 3: And from this time forth did the Nephites gain no
• 2:39:10
  Speaker 3: power over the Lamanites, but began to be swept off
• 2:39:14
  Speaker 3: by them, even as a do before the sun. And
• 2:39:18
  Speaker 3: it came to pass that the Lamanites did come down
• 2:39:22
  Speaker 3: against the city Desolation, and there was an exceedingly sore
• 2:39:26
  Speaker 3: battle fought in the land Desolation, in which they did
• 2:39:30
  Speaker 3: beat the Nephytes. And they fled again from before them,
• 2:39:35
  Speaker 3: and they came to the city Boaz, and there they
• 2:39:39
  Speaker 3: did stand against the Lamanites with exceeding boldness, insomuch that
• 2:39:46
  Speaker 3: the Lamanites did not beat them until they had come
• 2:39:50
  Speaker 3: again the second time. And when they had come the
• 2:39:54
  Speaker 3: second time, the Nephites were driven and slaughtered with an
• 2:39:58
  Speaker 3: exceedingly grit slaughter. Their women and their children were again
• 2:40:04
  Speaker 3: sacrificed unto idols. And it came to pass that the
• 2:40:08
  Speaker 3: Nephites did again flee from before them, taking all the
• 2:40:12
  Speaker 3: inhabitants with them, both in towns and villages. And now
• 2:40:18
  Speaker 3: I Mormon, seeing that the Lamanites were about to overthrow
• 2:40:23
  Speaker 3: the land, Therefore I did go to the hill Shim
• 2:40:28
  Speaker 3: and did take up all the records which Amarn had
• 2:40:32
  Speaker 3: hid up unto the Lord Mormon, Chapter five. And it
• 2:40:38
  Speaker 3: came to pass that I did go forth among the
• 2:40:41
  Speaker 3: Nephites and did repent of the oath which I had made,
• 2:40:45
  Speaker 3: that I would no more assist them, and they gave
• 2:40:48
  Speaker 3: me command again of their armies. For they looked upon
• 2:40:52
  Speaker 3: me as though I could deliver them from their afflictions.
• 2:40:57
  Speaker 3: But behold, I was without hope, for I knew the
• 2:41:00
  Speaker 3: judgments of the Lord which should come upon them. And
• 2:41:04
  Speaker 3: they repented not of their iniquities, but did struggle for
• 2:41:08
  Speaker 3: their lives without calling upon that being who created them.
• 2:41:13
  Speaker 3: And it came to pass that the Lamanites did come
• 2:41:17
  Speaker 3: against us, as we had fled to the city of Jordan.
• 2:41:21
  Speaker 3: But behold, they were driven back, that they did not
• 2:41:25
  Speaker 3: take the city at that time. And it came to
• 2:41:28
  Speaker 3: pass that they came against us again, and we did
• 2:41:32
  Speaker 3: maintain the city. And there were also other cities which
• 2:41:37
  Speaker 3: were maintained by Nephites, which strongholds. Did cut them off
• 2:41:42
  Speaker 3: when they could not get into the country which lay
• 2:41:45
  Speaker 3: before us, to destroy the inhabitants of our land. And
• 2:41:51
  Speaker 3: it came to pass that whatsoever lands we had passed by,
• 2:41:55
  Speaker 3: and the inhabitants thereof were not gathered in, were destroying
• 2:42:00
  Speaker 3: by the Lamanites, and their towns and villages and cities
• 2:42:04
  Speaker 3: were burned with fire. And thus three hundred and seventy
• 2:42:08
  Speaker 3: and nine years passed away, and it came to pass
• 2:42:12
  Speaker 3: that in the three hundred and eightieth year, the Lamanites
• 2:42:16
  Speaker 3: did come again against us to battle, and we did
• 2:42:19
  Speaker 3: stand against them boldly, But it was all in vain,
• 2:42:23
  Speaker 3: for so great were their numbers that they did tread
• 2:42:26
  Speaker 3: the people of the Nephites under their feet. And it
• 2:42:30
  Speaker 3: came to pass that we did again take to flight,
• 2:42:33
  Speaker 3: and those whose flight was swifter than the Lamanites did escape,
• 2:42:38
  Speaker 3: and those whose flight did not exceed the Lamanites were
• 2:42:42
  Speaker 3: swept down and destroyed. And now behold, I Mormon, do
• 2:42:48
  Speaker 3: not desire to harrow up the souls of men in
• 2:42:53
  Speaker 3: casting before them such an awful scene of blood and
• 2:42:57
  Speaker 3: carnage as was laid before mine eyes. But I knowing
• 2:43:02
  Speaker 3: that these things must surely be made known, and that
• 2:43:06
  Speaker 3: all things which are hid must be revealed upon the housetops,
• 2:43:12
  Speaker 3: and also that a knowledge of these things must come
• 2:43:16
  Speaker 3: unto the remnant of this people, and also unto the gentiles,
• 2:43:21
  Speaker 3: who the Lord hath said should scatter this people, and
• 2:43:25
  Speaker 3: this people should be counted as not among them. Therefore
• 2:43:31
  Speaker 3: I write a small abridgment, daring not to give a
• 2:43:35
  Speaker 3: full account of the things which I have seen, because
• 2:43:38
  Speaker 3: of the commandment which I have received, and also that
• 2:43:43
  Speaker 3: ye might not have too great sorrow because of the
• 2:43:47
  Speaker 3: wickedness of this people. And now behold this I speak
• 2:43:53
  Speaker 3: unto their seed, and also to the gentiles who have
• 2:43:57
  Speaker 3: care for the House of Israel that real lies, and
• 2:44:01
  Speaker 3: know from whence their blessings come. For I know that
• 2:44:05
  Speaker 3: such will sorrow for the calamity of the House of Israel. Yea,
• 2:44:10
  Speaker 3: they will sorrow for the destruction of this people. They
• 2:44:15
  Speaker 3: will sorrow that this people had not repented, that they
• 2:44:19
  Speaker 3: might have been clasped in the arms of Jesus. Now
• 2:44:25
  Speaker 3: these things are written unto the remnant of the House
• 2:44:28
  Speaker 3: of Jacob, and they are written after this manner, because
• 2:44:32
  Speaker 3: it is known of God that wickedness will not bring
• 2:44:36
  Speaker 3: them forth unto them. And they are to be hid
• 2:44:39
  Speaker 3: up unto the Lord, that they may come forth in
• 2:44:43
  Speaker 3: his own due time. And this is the commandment which
• 2:44:48
  Speaker 3: I have received. And behold, they shall come forth according
• 2:44:53
  Speaker 3: to the commandment of the Lord, when he shall see
• 2:44:57
  Speaker 3: fit in his wisdom. And behold, they shall go unto
• 2:45:03
  Speaker 3: the unbelieving of the Jews. And for this intent shall
• 2:45:07
  Speaker 3: they go, that they may be persuaded that Jesus is
• 2:45:12
  Speaker 3: the Christ, the son of the Living God, that the
• 2:45:16
  Speaker 3: Father may bring about through his most beloved, his great
• 2:45:21
  Speaker 3: and eternal purpose in restoring the Jews of all the
• 2:45:26
  Speaker 3: House of Israel to the land of their inheritance, which
• 2:45:30
  Speaker 3: the Lord their God hath given them unto the fulfilling
• 2:45:35
  Speaker 3: of His covenant. And also that the seed of this
• 2:45:39
  Speaker 3: people may more fully believe His Gospel, which shall go
• 2:45:43
  Speaker 3: forth unto them from the Gentiles. For this people shall
• 2:45:47
  Speaker 3: be scattered, and shall become a dark, a filthy, and
• 2:45:51
  Speaker 3: a loathsome people beyond the description of that whichever hath
• 2:45:57
  Speaker 3: been amongst us, Yea, even that which hath been among
• 2:46:01
  Speaker 3: the Lamanites. And this because of their unbelief and idolatry.
• 2:46:08
  Speaker 3: For behold, the spirit of the Lord hath already ceased
• 2:46:12
  Speaker 3: to strive with their fathers. And they are without Christ
• 2:46:16
  Speaker 3: and God in the world, and they are driven out
• 2:46:20
  Speaker 3: as chaff before the wind. They were once a delightsome people,
• 2:46:25
  Speaker 3: and they had Christ for their shepherd. Yea, they were
• 2:46:29
  Speaker 3: led even by God the Father. But now behold they
• 2:46:34
  Speaker 3: are led about by Satan, even as chaff is driven
• 2:46:38
  Speaker 3: before the wind, or as a vessel is tossed about
• 2:46:42
  Speaker 3: upon the waves, without sail or anchor, or without anything
• 2:46:47
  Speaker 3: wherewith to steer her. And even as she is, so
• 2:46:52
  Speaker 3: are they. And behold, the Lord hath reserved their blessings
• 2:46:58
  Speaker 3: which they might have received in the land, for the gentiles,
• 2:47:02
  Speaker 3: who shall possess the land. But behold, it shall come
• 2:47:07
  Speaker 3: to pass that they shall be driven and scattered by
• 2:47:11
  Speaker 3: the gentiles. And after they have been driven and scattered
• 2:47:15
  Speaker 3: by the gentiles, behold, then will the Lord remember the
• 2:47:20
  Speaker 3: covenant which he made unto Abraham and unto all the
• 2:47:24
  Speaker 3: house of Israel. And also the Lord will remember the
• 2:47:29
  Speaker 3: prayers of the righteous which have been put up unto
• 2:47:33
  Speaker 3: Him for them. And then, oh, ye gentiles, how can
• 2:47:38
  Speaker 3: ye stand before the power of God? Except ye shall
• 2:47:42
  Speaker 3: repent and turn from your evil ways? Know ye not
• 2:47:48
  Speaker 3: that ye are in the hands of God. Know ye
• 2:47:51
  Speaker 3: not that He hath all power, And at his great
• 2:47:55
  Speaker 3: command the earth shall be rolled together as a scroll. There,
• 2:48:01
  Speaker 3: Repent ye, and humble yourselves before him, lest he shall
• 2:48:05
  Speaker 3: come out in justice against you, Lest a remnant of
• 2:48:10
  Speaker 3: the seed of Jacob shall go forth among you as
• 2:48:14
  Speaker 3: a lion and tear you in pieces. And there is
• 2:48:18
  Speaker 3: none to deliver. Mormon chapter six and now I finish
• 2:48:23
  Speaker 3: my record concerning the destruction of my people, the Nephites.
• 2:48:28
  Speaker 3: And it came to pass that we did march forth
• 2:48:32
  Speaker 3: before the Lamanites. And I Mormon wrote an epistle unto
• 2:48:37
  Speaker 3: the King of the Lamanites, and desired of him that
• 2:48:40
  Speaker 3: he would grant unto us, that we might gather together
• 2:48:44
  Speaker 3: our people unto the land of Camora, by a hill
• 2:48:49
  Speaker 3: which was called Kimora, and there we could give them battle.
• 2:48:54
  Speaker 3: And it came to pass that the King of the
• 2:48:56
  Speaker 3: Lamanites did grant unto me the thing which I desired.
• 2:49:02
  Speaker 3: And it came to pass that we did march forth
• 2:49:05
  Speaker 3: to the land of Camorra, and we did pitch our
• 2:49:08
  Speaker 3: tents around about the hill Camora. And it was in
• 2:49:12
  Speaker 3: a land of many waters, rivers and fountains. And here
• 2:49:17
  Speaker 3: we had hoped to gain advantage over the Lamanites. And
• 2:49:21
  Speaker 3: when three hundred and eighty and four years had passed away,
• 2:49:26
  Speaker 3: we had gathered in all the remainder of our people
• 2:49:30
  Speaker 3: onto the land of Kimora. And it came to pass
• 2:49:34
  Speaker 3: that when we had gathered in all our people in
• 2:49:38
  Speaker 3: one to the land of Camora, behold, I Mormon began
• 2:49:43
  Speaker 3: to be old, and knowing it to be the last
• 2:49:47
  Speaker 3: struggle of my people, and having been commanded of the Lord,
• 2:49:52
  Speaker 3: that I should not suffer the records which had been
• 2:49:55
  Speaker 3: handed down by our fathers, which were sacred, to fall
• 2:50:00
  Speaker 3: into the hands of the Lamanites, for the Lamanites would
• 2:50:03
  Speaker 3: destroy them. Therefore I made this record out of the
• 2:50:07
  Speaker 3: plates of Nephi, and hid up in the hill Camorra
• 2:50:12
  Speaker 3: all the records which had been entrusted to me by
• 2:50:15
  Speaker 3: the hand of the Lord. Save it worth these few
• 2:50:19
  Speaker 3: plates which I gave unto my son Moronai. And it
• 2:50:24
  Speaker 3: came to pass that my people, with their wives and
• 2:50:28
  Speaker 3: their children, did now behold the armies of the Lamanites
• 2:50:33
  Speaker 3: marching towards them. And with that awful fear of death
• 2:50:38
  Speaker 3: which fills the breasts of all the wicked, did they
• 2:50:41
  Speaker 3: await to receive them. And it came to pass that
• 2:50:46
  Speaker 3: they came to battle against us, And every soul was
• 2:50:50
  Speaker 3: filled with terror because of the greatness of their numbers.
• 2:50:54
  Speaker 3: And it came to pass that they did fall upon
• 2:50:57
  Speaker 3: my people with the sword, and with the bow, and
• 2:51:01
  Speaker 3: with the arrow, and with the axe, and with all
• 2:51:04
  Speaker 3: manner of weapons of war. And it came to pass
• 2:51:08
  Speaker 3: that my men were hewn down. Yea, even my ten
• 2:51:13
  Speaker 3: thousand who were with me and I fell wounded in
• 2:51:16
  Speaker 3: the midst, and they passed by me that they did
• 2:51:20
  Speaker 3: not put an end to my life. And when they
• 2:51:23
  Speaker 3: had gone through and hewn down all my people save
• 2:51:27
  Speaker 3: it were twenty and four of us, among whom was
• 2:51:30
  Speaker 3: my son Moroni. And we, having survived the dead of
• 2:51:34
  Speaker 3: our people, did behold on the morrow, when the Lamanites
• 2:51:39
  Speaker 3: had returned unto their camps, from the top of the
• 2:51:43
  Speaker 3: hill Camora, the ten thousand of my people who were
• 2:51:47
  Speaker 3: hewn down, being led in the front by me, And
• 2:51:52
  Speaker 3: we also beheld the ten thousand of my people who
• 2:51:56
  Speaker 3: were led by my son Moroni, and the ten thousand
• 2:52:01
  Speaker 3: of Gidgidona had fallen, and he also in the midst.
• 2:52:07
  Speaker 3: And Laima had fallen with his ten thousand, and Gilgal
• 2:52:12
  Speaker 3: had fallen with his ten thousand, and Limha had fallen
• 2:52:17
  Speaker 3: with his ten thousand, and Genium had fallen with his
• 2:52:22
  Speaker 3: ten thousand, and Kumenaiha and Moroniha, and Antionum and Shiblom
• 2:52:29
  Speaker 3: and Shem and Josh had fallen with their ten thousand each.
• 2:52:35
  Speaker 3: And it came to pass that there were ten more
• 2:52:39
  Speaker 3: who did fall by the sword, with their ten thousand each. Yea,
• 2:52:44
  Speaker 3: even all my people save it were those twenty and
• 2:52:48
  Speaker 3: four who were with me, And also a few who
• 2:52:52
  Speaker 3: had escaped into the south countries, and a few who
• 2:52:56
  Speaker 3: had deserted over unto the Lamanites had fallen, and their
• 2:53:01
  Speaker 3: flesh and bones and blood lay upon the face of
• 2:53:05
  Speaker 3: the earth, being left by the hands of those who
• 2:53:08
  Speaker 3: slew them to molder upon the land and to crumble,
• 2:53:13
  Speaker 3: and to return to their mother earth. And my soul
• 2:53:18
  Speaker 3: was rent with anguish because of the slain of my people.
• 2:53:24
  Speaker 3: And I cried, oh, ye, fair ones, how could ye
• 2:53:28
  Speaker 3: have departed from the ways of the Lord? Oh ye,
• 2:53:32
  Speaker 3: fair ones, how could ye have rejected that Jesus who
• 2:53:37
  Speaker 3: stood with open arms to receive you. Behold, if ye
• 2:53:42
  Speaker 3: had not done this, ye would not have fallen. But behold,
• 2:53:48
  Speaker 3: ye are fallen. And I mourn your loss. Oh ye
• 2:53:53
  Speaker 3: fair sons and daughters, ye fathers and mothers, ye husbands
• 2:53:59
  Speaker 3: and wives. Ye, fair ones, how is it that ye
• 2:54:03
  Speaker 3: could have fallen? But behold, ye are gone, And my
• 2:54:08
  Speaker 3: sorrows cannot bring your return. And the day soon cometh
• 2:54:14
  Speaker 3: that your mortal must put on immortality. And these bodies
• 2:54:19
  Speaker 3: which are now moldering in corruption, must soon become incorruptible bodies.
• 2:54:27
  Speaker 3: And then ye must stand before the judgment seed of Christ,
• 2:54:32
  Speaker 3: to be judged according to your works. And if it
• 2:54:36
  Speaker 3: so be that ye are righteous, then are ye blessed
• 2:54:40
  Speaker 3: with your fathers who have gone before you? Oh that
• 2:54:44
  Speaker 3: ye had repented before this great destruction had come upon you.
• 2:54:49
  Speaker 3: But behold, ye are gone. And the Father, yea, the
• 2:54:53
  Speaker 3: eternal Father of Heaven, knoweth your state, and he doeth
• 2:54:59
  Speaker 3: with you according to his justice and mercy Mormon chapter seven.
• 2:55:05
  Speaker 3: And now behold, I would speak somewhat unto the remnant
• 2:55:10
  Speaker 3: of this people who are spared, if it so be
• 2:55:14
  Speaker 3: that God may give unto them my words, that they
• 2:55:18
  Speaker 3: may know of the things of their fathers. Yea, I
• 2:55:22
  Speaker 3: speak unto you, ye remnant of the House of Israel,
• 2:55:27
  Speaker 3: And these are the words which I speak. Know ye
• 2:55:31
  Speaker 3: that ye are of the House of Israel. Know ye
• 2:55:36
  Speaker 3: that ye must come unto repentance, or ye cannot be saved.
• 2:55:42
  Speaker 3: Know ye that ye must lay down your weapons of
• 2:55:45
  Speaker 3: war and delight no more in the shedding of blood,
• 2:55:50
  Speaker 3: and take them not again. Save it be that God
• 2:55:54
  Speaker 3: shall command you know ye, that ye must come to
• 2:55:58
  Speaker 3: the knowledge of your fathers, and repent of all your
• 2:56:02
  Speaker 3: sins and iniquities, and believe in Jesus Christ, that he
• 2:56:07
  Speaker 3: is the Son of God, and that he was slain
• 2:56:11
  Speaker 3: by the Jews, and by the power of the Father.
• 2:56:15
  Speaker 3: He hath risen again, whereby he hath gained the victory
• 2:56:20
  Speaker 3: over the grave. And also in him is the sting
• 2:56:24
  Speaker 3: of death swallowed up. And he bringeth to pass the
• 2:56:30
  Speaker 3: resurrection of the dead, whereby man must be raised to
• 2:56:35
  Speaker 3: stand before his judgment seat. And he hath brought to
• 2:56:40
  Speaker 3: pass the redemption of the world. Whereby he that is
• 2:56:45
  Speaker 3: found guiltless before him at the judgment day, hath it
• 2:56:49
  Speaker 3: given unto him to dwell in the presence of God
• 2:56:53
  Speaker 3: in his kingdom, to sing ceaseless praises with the choirs above,
• 2:56:59
  Speaker 3: unto the fat and unto the Sun, and unto the
• 2:57:03
  Speaker 3: Holy Ghost, which are one God, in a state of
• 2:57:07
  Speaker 3: happiness which hath no end. Therefore, repent and be baptized
• 2:57:14
  Speaker 3: in the name of Jesus, and lay hold upon the
• 2:57:18
  Speaker 3: Gospel of Christ, which shall be set before you, not
• 2:57:22
  Speaker 3: only in this record, but also in the record which
• 2:57:27
  Speaker 3: shall come unto the Gentiles from the Jews, which record
• 2:57:32
  Speaker 3: shall come from the Gentiles unto you. For behold, this
• 2:57:38
  Speaker 3: is written for the intent that ye may believe that.
• 2:57:42
  Speaker 3: And if ye believe that, ye will believe this also.
• 2:57:46
  Speaker 3: And if you believe this, ye will know concerning your
• 2:57:50
  Speaker 3: father's and also the marvelous works which were wrought by
• 2:57:54
  Speaker 3: the power of God among them. And ye will also
• 2:57:58
  Speaker 3: know that ye are a remnant of the seed of Jacob.
• 2:58:03
  Speaker 3: Therefore ye are numbered among the people of the First Covenant.
• 2:58:08
  Speaker 3: And if it so be that ye believe in Christ
• 2:58:11
  Speaker 3: and are baptized first with water, then with fire, and
• 2:58:16
  Speaker 3: with the Holy Ghost, following the example of our Savior,
• 2:58:21
  Speaker 3: according to that which he hath commanded us, it shall
• 2:58:25
  Speaker 3: be well with you in the day of judgment. Amen.
• 2:58:31
  Speaker 3: Mormon chapter eight. Behold, I Moronai, do finish the record
• 2:58:37
  Speaker 3: of my father. Mormon. Behold, I have but few things
• 2:58:42
  Speaker 3: to write, which things I have been commanded by my father.
• 2:58:46
  Speaker 3: And now it came to pass that after the great
• 2:58:49
  Speaker 3: and tremendous battle at Kimora. Behold, the Knephites, who had
• 2:58:54
  Speaker 3: escaped into the country southward, were hunted by the Lamanites
• 2:58:59
  Speaker 3: until they were all destroyed, and my father also was
• 2:59:04
  Speaker 3: killed by them. And I even remain alone to write
• 2:59:08
  Speaker 3: the sad tale of the destruction of my people. But behold,
• 2:59:14
  Speaker 3: they are gone, and I fulfill the commandment of my father.
• 2:59:19
  Speaker 3: And whether they slay me I know not. Therefore I
• 2:59:24
  Speaker 3: will write and hide up the records in the earth,
• 2:59:28
  Speaker 3: and whither I go it mattereth not. Behold, my father
• 2:59:33
  Speaker 3: hath made this record, and he hath written the intent thereof,
• 2:59:37
  Speaker 3: And behold, I would write it also if I had
• 2:59:41
  Speaker 3: room upon the plates. But I have not, and or
• 2:59:46
  Speaker 3: I have none, for I am alone. My father hath
• 2:59:51
  Speaker 3: been slain in battle, and all my kinsfolk, and I
• 2:59:55
  Speaker 3: have not friends, nor whither to go. And how long
• 2:59:59
  Speaker 3: the Lord will suffer that I may live, I know not. Behold,
• 3:00:05
  Speaker 3: four hundred years have passed away since the coming of
• 3:00:09
  Speaker 3: our Lord and Savior. And behold, the Lamanites have hunted
• 3:00:15
  Speaker 3: my people, the Nephites, down from city to city and
• 3:00:19
  Speaker 3: from place to place, even until they are no more.
• 3:00:24
  Speaker 3: And great has been their fall. Yea great and marvelous
• 3:00:29
  Speaker 3: is the destruction of my people, the Nephites. And behold
• 3:00:34
  Speaker 3: it is the hand of the Lord which hath done it.
• 3:00:38
  Speaker 3: And behold also the Lamanites are at war one with another,
• 3:00:43
  Speaker 3: and the whole face of this land is one continual
• 3:00:47
  Speaker 3: round of murder and bloodshed, and no one knoweth the
• 3:00:52
  Speaker 3: end of the war. And now behold, I say no
• 3:00:56
  Speaker 3: more concerning them, for there are none save it being
• 3:01:00
  Speaker 3: the Lamanites and robbers, that do exist upon the face
• 3:01:04
  Speaker 3: of the land. And there are none that do know
• 3:01:07
  Speaker 3: the True God, save it be the disciples of Jesus,
• 3:01:12
  Speaker 3: who did carry in the land until the wickedness of
• 3:01:16
  Speaker 3: the people was so great that the Lord would not
• 3:01:19
  Speaker 3: suffer them to remain with the people. And whether they
• 3:01:23
  Speaker 3: be upon the face of the land, no man knoweth.
• 3:01:28
  Speaker 3: But behold, my father and I have seen them, and
• 3:01:32
  Speaker 3: they have ministered unto us. And whoso receiveth this record
• 3:01:37
  Speaker 3: and shall not condemn it because of the imperfections which
• 3:01:41
  Speaker 3: are in it, the same shall know of greater things
• 3:01:45
  Speaker 3: than these. Behold, I am Moronai, and were it possible,
• 3:01:51
  Speaker 3: I would make all things known unto you. Behold, I
• 3:01:55
  Speaker 3: make an end of speaking concerning this people. I am
• 3:01:59
  Speaker 3: the son of Mormon, and my father was a descendant
• 3:02:03
  Speaker 3: of Nephi. And I am the same who hideth up
• 3:02:07
  Speaker 3: this record unto the Lord. The plates thereof are of
• 3:02:12
  Speaker 3: no worth because of the commandment of the Lord. For
• 3:02:16
  Speaker 3: He truly saith that no one shall have them to
• 3:02:19
  Speaker 3: get gain. But the record thereof is of great worth.
• 3:02:24
  Speaker 3: And whoso shall bring it to light, him will the
• 3:02:27
  Speaker 3: Lord bless for none can have power to bring it
• 3:02:31
  Speaker 3: to light, save it be given him of God. For
• 3:02:35
  Speaker 3: God gives that it shall be done with an eye
• 3:02:38
  Speaker 3: single to His glory or the welfare of the ancient
• 3:02:43
  Speaker 3: and long dispersed covenant people of the Lord. And blessed
• 3:02:48
  Speaker 3: be he that shall bring this thing to light. For
• 3:02:52
  Speaker 3: it shall be brought out of darkness unto light, according
• 3:02:56
  Speaker 3: to the word of God. Yea, it shall be brought
• 3:03:01
  Speaker 3: out of the earth, and it shall shine forth out
• 3:03:04
  Speaker 3: of darkness and come unto the knowledge of the people.
• 3:03:09
  Speaker 3: And it shall be done by the power of God.
• 3:03:13
  Speaker 3: And if there be faults, they be the faults of
• 3:03:16
  Speaker 3: a man. But behold, we know no fault. Nevertheless, God
• 3:03:21
  Speaker 3: knoweth all things. Therefore, he that condemneth, let him be aware,
• 3:03:27
  Speaker 3: lest he shall be in danger of hell fire. And
• 3:03:31
  Speaker 3: he that saith show unto me, or ye shall be smitten.
• 3:03:36
  Speaker 3: Let him beware lest he commandeth that which is forbidden
• 3:03:40
  Speaker 3: of the Lord. For behold, the same that judgeth rashly
• 3:03:45
  Speaker 3: shall be judged rashly again. For according to his works
• 3:03:50
  Speaker 3: shall his wages be. Therefore, he that smiteth shall be
• 3:03:55
  Speaker 3: smitten again of the Lord. Behold what the scripture says,
• 3:04:01
  Speaker 3: men shall not smite, neither shall he judge. For judgment
• 3:04:06
  Speaker 3: is mine saith the Lord, and vengeance is mine also.
• 3:04:11
  Speaker 3: And I will repay. And he that shall breathe out
• 3:04:15
  Speaker 3: wrath and strifes against the work of the Lord and
• 3:04:19
  Speaker 3: against the covenant people of the Lord, who are the
• 3:04:23
  Speaker 3: House of Israel, and shall say, we will destroy the
• 3:04:27
  Speaker 3: work of the Lord. And the Lord will not remember
• 3:04:31
  Speaker 3: his covenant which he hath made unto the House of Israel.
• 3:04:35
  Speaker 3: The same is in danger to be hewn down and
• 3:04:39
  Speaker 3: cast into the fire. For the eternal purposes of the
• 3:04:44
  Speaker 3: Lord shall roll on until all his promises shall be fulfilled.
• 3:04:52
  Speaker 3: Search the prophecies of Isaiah. Behold, I cannot write them.
• 3:04:57
  Speaker 5: Yea.
• 3:04:58
  Speaker 3: Behold, I say unto you that those saints who have
• 3:05:02
  Speaker 3: gone before me, who have possessed this land, shall cry. YEA,
• 3:05:07
  Speaker 3: even from the dust will they cry unto the Lord
• 3:05:12
  Speaker 3: and as the Lord liveth, he will remember the covenant
• 3:05:15
  Speaker 3: which he hath made with them. And he knoweth their prayers,
• 3:05:21
  Speaker 3: that they were in behalf of their brethren, and he
• 3:05:24
  Speaker 3: knoweth their faith. For in his name could they remove mountains,
• 3:05:29
  Speaker 3: And in his name could they cause the earth to shake.
• 3:05:33
  Speaker 3: And by the power of His word did they cause
• 3:05:36
  Speaker 3: prisons to tumble to the earth. Yea, even as the
• 3:05:40
  Speaker 3: fiery furnace could not harm them, neither wild beasts nor
• 3:05:46
  Speaker 3: poisonous serpents, because of the power of His word. And behold,
• 3:05:52
  Speaker 3: their prayers were also in behalf of him. That the
• 3:05:56
  Speaker 3: Lord should suffer to bring these things forth. And no
• 3:06:00
  Speaker 3: one need say they shall not come, for they surely shall,
• 3:06:05
  Speaker 3: for the Lord hath spoken it. For out of the
• 3:06:09
  Speaker 3: earth shall they come by the hand of the Lord,
• 3:06:13
  Speaker 3: and none can stay it. And it shall come in
• 3:06:16
  Speaker 3: a day when it shall be said that miracles are
• 3:06:20
  Speaker 3: done away. And it shall come even as if one
• 3:06:24
  Speaker 3: should speak from the dead. And it shall come in
• 3:06:28
  Speaker 3: a day when the blood of saints shall cry unto
• 3:06:32
  Speaker 3: the Lord because of the secret combinations and the works
• 3:06:37
  Speaker 3: of darkness. Yeay, it shall come in a day when
• 3:06:42
  Speaker 3: the power of God shall be denied, and churches become
• 3:06:46
  Speaker 3: defiled and be lifted up in the pride of their hearts. Yea,
• 3:06:52
  Speaker 3: even in a day when leaders of churches and teachers
• 3:06:56
  Speaker 3: shall rise in the pride of their hearts, even to
• 3:07:00
  Speaker 3: the envying of them who belong to their churches. Yeay,
• 3:07:05
  Speaker 3: it shall come in a day when there shall be
• 3:07:08
  Speaker 3: heard of fires and tempests and vapors of smoke in
• 3:07:13
  Speaker 3: foreign lands, And there shall also be heard of wars,
• 3:07:18
  Speaker 3: rumors of wars, and earthquakes in diverse places. Yay, it
• 3:07:24
  Speaker 3: shall come in a day when there shall be great
• 3:07:27
  Speaker 3: pollutions upon the face of the earth. There shall be
• 3:07:31
  Speaker 3: murders and robbing, and lying, and deceivings, and horedoms, and
• 3:07:37
  Speaker 3: all manner of abominations. When there shall be many who
• 3:07:41
  Speaker 3: will say, do this or do that. And it mattereth not,
• 3:07:46
  Speaker 3: for the Lord will uphold such at the last day.
• 3:07:49
  Speaker 3: But woe unto such, for they are in the gall
• 3:07:54
  Speaker 3: of bitterness and in the bonds of iniquity. Yay, it
• 3:07:59
  Speaker 3: shall come in a day when there shall be churches
• 3:08:03
  Speaker 3: built up that shall say, come unto me, and for
• 3:08:07
  Speaker 3: your money you shall be forgiven of your sins. Oh,
• 3:08:12
  Speaker 3: ye wicked and perverse and stiff necked people. Why have
• 3:08:17
  Speaker 3: ye built up churches unto yourselves to get gain? Why
• 3:08:22
  Speaker 3: have ye transfigured the Holy Word of God that ye
• 3:08:25
  Speaker 3: might bring damnation upon your souls. Behold, look ye unto
• 3:08:31
  Speaker 3: the revelations of God. For behold, the time cometh at
• 3:08:35
  Speaker 3: that day when all these things must be fulfilled. Behold,
• 3:08:41
  Speaker 3: the Lord hath shown unto me great and marvelous things
• 3:08:46
  Speaker 3: concerning that which must shortly come. At that day when
• 3:08:50
  Speaker 3: these things shall come forth among you. Behold, I speak
• 3:08:56
  Speaker 3: unto you as if ye were present, and yet ye
• 3:09:00
  Speaker 3: are not. But behold, Jesus Christ hath shown you unto me,
• 3:09:06
  Speaker 3: and I know your doing, and I know that ye
• 3:09:10
  Speaker 3: do walk in the pride of your hearts. And there
• 3:09:13
  Speaker 3: are none save a few only, who do not lift
• 3:09:16
  Speaker 3: themselves up in the pride of their hearts unto the
• 3:09:20
  Speaker 3: wearing of very fine apparel, unto envying and strifes, and
• 3:09:25
  Speaker 3: malice and persecutions, and all manner of iniquities. And your churches, yea,
• 3:09:33
  Speaker 3: even everyone have become polluted because of the pride of
• 3:09:37
  Speaker 3: your hearts. For behold, ye do love money and your substance,
• 3:09:44
  Speaker 3: and your fine apparel and the adorning of your churches,
• 3:09:48
  Speaker 3: more than ye love the poor and the needy, the
• 3:09:52
  Speaker 3: sick and the afflicted. Oh ye pollutions, ye hypocrites, ye
• 3:09:58
  Speaker 3: teachers who tell yourselves for that which will canker. Why
• 3:10:04
  Speaker 3: have ye polluted the Holy Church of God? Why are
• 3:10:08
  Speaker 3: ye ashamed to take upon you the name of Christ?
• 3:10:12
  Speaker 3: Why do ye not think that greater is the value
• 3:10:16
  Speaker 3: of an endless happiness than that misery which never dies
• 3:10:22
  Speaker 3: because of the praise of the world. Why do ye
• 3:10:25
  Speaker 3: adorn yourselves with that which hath no life, and yet
• 3:10:30
  Speaker 3: suffer the hungry and the needy, and the naked, and
• 3:10:35
  Speaker 3: the sick and the afflicted to pass by you and
• 3:10:39
  Speaker 3: notice them not yea? Why do ye build up your
• 3:10:43
  Speaker 3: secret abominations to get gain and cause that widows should
• 3:10:49
  Speaker 3: mourn before the Lord, and also orphans to mourn before
• 3:10:53
  Speaker 3: the Lord, and also the blood of their fathers and
• 3:10:57
  Speaker 3: their husbands to cry unto the Lord from the ground
• 3:11:01
  Speaker 3: for vengeance upon your heads. Behold, the sword of vengeance
• 3:11:07
  Speaker 3: hangeth over you. And the time soon cometh that he
• 3:11:11
  Speaker 3: avengeth the blood of the saints upon you, for he
• 3:11:14
  Speaker 3: will not suffer their cries any longer. Mormon chapter nine.
• 3:11:21
  Speaker 3: And now I speak also concerning those who do not
• 3:11:25
  Speaker 3: believe in Christ. Behold, will ye believe in the day
• 3:11:30
  Speaker 3: of your visitation? Behold when the Lord shall come? Yea,
• 3:11:35
  Speaker 3: even that great day, when the earth shall be rolled
• 3:11:38
  Speaker 3: together as a scroll, and the elements shall melt with
• 3:11:43
  Speaker 3: fervent heat. Yea, in that great day, when ye shall
• 3:11:47
  Speaker 3: be brought to stand before the lamb of God. Then
• 3:11:51
  Speaker 3: will ye say that there is no God? Then will
• 3:11:55
  Speaker 3: ye longer deny the Christ? Or can ye behold the
• 3:11:59
  Speaker 3: Lamb of God? Do ye suppose that ye shall dwell
• 3:12:03
  Speaker 3: with Him under a consciousness of your guilt? Do ye
• 3:12:07
  Speaker 3: suppose that ye could be happy to dwell with that
• 3:12:11
  Speaker 3: holy being when your souls are racked with a consciousness
• 3:12:15
  Speaker 3: of guilt that ye have ever abused His laws? Behold,
• 3:12:20
  Speaker 3: I say unto you that ye would be more miserable
• 3:12:24
  Speaker 3: to dwell with a holy and just God under a
• 3:12:28
  Speaker 3: consciousness of your filthiness before Him, than ye would to
• 3:12:32
  Speaker 3: dwell with the damned souls in hell. For behold, when
• 3:12:38
  Speaker 3: ye shall be brought to see your nakedness before God,
• 3:12:42
  Speaker 3: and also the glory of God and the holiness of
• 3:12:45
  Speaker 3: Jesus Christ, it will kindle a flame of unquenchable fire
• 3:12:50
  Speaker 3: upon you. Oh, then ye unbelieving, turn ye unto the Lord,
• 3:12:57
  Speaker 3: cry mightily unto the Father in the name of Jesus,
• 3:13:02
  Speaker 3: that perhaps ye may be found spotless, pure, fair and white,
• 3:13:07
  Speaker 3: having been cleansed by the blood of the Lamb at
• 3:13:11
  Speaker 3: that great and last day. And again I speak unto
• 3:13:16
  Speaker 3: you who deny the revelations of God and say that
• 3:13:20
  Speaker 3: they are done away, that there are no revelations, nor prophecies,
• 3:13:25
  Speaker 3: nor gifts, nor healing, nor speaking with tongues and the
• 3:13:30
  Speaker 3: interpretation of tongues. Behold, I say unto you, he that
• 3:13:36
  Speaker 3: denieth these things knoweth not the Gospel of Christ. Yea,
• 3:13:41
  Speaker 3: he has not read the scriptures. If so, he does
• 3:13:45
  Speaker 3: not understand them. For do we not read that God
• 3:13:49
  Speaker 3: is the same yesterday, today and forever, And in him
• 3:13:54
  Speaker 3: there is no variableness, neither shadow of changing. And Now,
• 3:14:00
  Speaker 3: if ye have imagined up unto yourselves a God who
• 3:14:04
  Speaker 3: doth vary, and in whom there is shadow of changing,
• 3:14:08
  Speaker 3: then have ye imagined up unto yourselves a God who
• 3:14:12
  Speaker 3: is not God of miracles. But behold, I will show
• 3:14:17
  Speaker 3: unto you a God of miracles, even the God of Abraham,
• 3:14:22
  Speaker 3: and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
• 3:14:26
  Speaker 3: And it is that same God who created the heavens
• 3:14:30
  Speaker 3: and the earth and all things that in them are behold.
• 3:14:36
  Speaker 3: He created Adam, and by Adam came the fall of man.
• 3:14:40
  Speaker 3: And because of the fall of man came Jesus Christ,
• 3:14:44
  Speaker 3: even the Father and the Son. And because of Jesus
• 3:14:48
  Speaker 3: Christ came the redemption of man. And because of the
• 3:14:53
  Speaker 3: redemption of man which came by Jesus Christ, they are
• 3:14:57
  Speaker 3: brought back into the presence of Lord. Yea. This is
• 3:15:02
  Speaker 3: wherein all men are redeemed, because the death of Christ
• 3:15:07
  Speaker 3: bringeth to pass the resurrection which bringeth to pass, a
• 3:15:12
  Speaker 3: redemption from an endless sleep, from which sleep all men
• 3:15:17
  Speaker 3: shall be awakened by the power of God. When the
• 3:15:21
  Speaker 3: trump shall sound, and they shall come forth, both small
• 3:15:26
  Speaker 3: and great, and all shall stand before His bar being
• 3:15:30
  Speaker 3: redeemed and loose from this eternal band of death, which
• 3:15:35
  Speaker 3: death is a temporal death. And then cometh the judgment
• 3:15:40
  Speaker 3: of the Holy One upon them. And then cometh the
• 3:15:44
  Speaker 3: time that he that is filthy shall be filthy still,
• 3:15:48
  Speaker 3: and he that is righteous shall be righteous still. He
• 3:15:52
  Speaker 3: that is happy shall be happy still. And he that
• 3:15:55
  Speaker 3: is unhappy shall be unhappy still. And now, oh, all
• 3:16:01
  Speaker 3: ye that have imagined up unto yourselves a God who
• 3:16:05
  Speaker 3: can do no miracles, I would ask of you, have
• 3:16:08
  Speaker 3: all these things passed of which I have spoken? Has
• 3:16:12
  Speaker 3: the end come? Yet? Behold, I say unto you, nay.
• 3:16:18
  Speaker 3: And God has not ceased to be a god of miracles. Behold,
• 3:16:23
  Speaker 3: are not the things that God hath wrought marvelous in
• 3:16:26
  Speaker 3: our eyes? Yea? And who can comprehend the marvelous works
• 3:16:31
  Speaker 3: of God? Who shall say that it was not a
• 3:16:34
  Speaker 3: miracle that by his word the heaven and the earth
• 3:16:38
  Speaker 3: should be. And by the power of his word man
• 3:16:42
  Speaker 3: was created of the dust of the earth. And by
• 3:16:45
  Speaker 3: the power of his word have miracles been wrought? And
• 3:16:49
  Speaker 3: who shall say that Jesus Christ did not many mighty miracles?
• 3:16:55
  Speaker 3: And there were many mighty miracles wrought by the hands
• 3:16:59
  Speaker 3: of the apostles. And if there were miracles wrought, then
• 3:17:03
  Speaker 3: why has God ceased to be a god of miracles?
• 3:17:06
  Speaker 3: And yet be an unchangeable being? And behold, I say
• 3:17:11
  Speaker 3: unto you, he changeth not if so he would cease
• 3:17:16
  Speaker 3: to be God. And he ceaseth not to be God.
• 3:17:20
  Speaker 3: And is a god of miracles. And the reason why
• 3:17:24
  Speaker 3: he ceaseth to do miracles among the children of men
• 3:17:28
  Speaker 3: is because that they dwindle in unbelief and depart from
• 3:17:32
  Speaker 3: the right way, and know not the God in whom
• 3:17:36
  Speaker 3: they should trust. Behold, I say unto you, that whoso
• 3:17:41
  Speaker 3: believeth in Christ, doubting nothing whatsoever, he shall ask the
• 3:17:47
  Speaker 3: Father in the name of Christ. It shall be granted him.
• 3:17:52
  Speaker 3: And this promise is unto all, even unto the ends
• 3:17:57
  Speaker 3: of the earth. For behold, thus said Jesus Christ, the
• 3:18:01
  Speaker 3: Son of God, unto his disciples, who should tarry yea
• 3:18:06
  Speaker 3: and also to all his disciples in the hearing of
• 3:18:10
  Speaker 3: the multitude, Go ye into all the world and preach
• 3:18:15
  Speaker 3: the Gospel to every creature. And he that believeth and
• 3:18:20
  Speaker 3: is baptized shall be saved. But he that believeth not
• 3:18:25
  Speaker 3: shall be damned. And these signs shall follow. Them that
• 3:18:30
  Speaker 3: believe in My name. Shall they cast out devils, They
• 3:18:34
  Speaker 3: shall speak with new tongues, they shall take up serpents,
• 3:18:39
  Speaker 3: and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not
• 3:18:42
  Speaker 3: hurt them. They shall lay hands on the sick, and
• 3:18:46
  Speaker 3: they shall recover. And whosoever shall believe in my name,
• 3:18:51
  Speaker 3: doubting nothing unto Him. Will I confirm all my words,
• 3:18:56
  Speaker 3: even unto the ends of the earth. And behold, who
• 3:19:01
  Speaker 3: can stand against the works of the Lord, Who can
• 3:19:06
  Speaker 3: deny his sayings, Who will rise up against the almighty
• 3:19:11
  Speaker 3: power of the Lord, Who will despise the works of
• 3:19:15
  Speaker 3: the Lord, who will despise the children of Christ. Behold
• 3:19:21
  Speaker 3: all ye who are despisers of the works of the Lord,
• 3:19:25
  Speaker 3: for ye shall wonder and perish. Oh, then, despise not,
• 3:19:30
  Speaker 3: and wonder not, but hearken unto the words of the Lord,
• 3:19:35
  Speaker 3: and ask the Father in the name of Jesus, for
• 3:19:39
  Speaker 3: what things soever ye shall stand in need. Doubt not,
• 3:19:44
  Speaker 3: but be believing, and begin as in times of old,
• 3:19:48
  Speaker 3: and come unto the Lord with all your heart, and
• 3:19:53
  Speaker 3: work out your own salvation with fear and trembling before him.
• 3:19:59
  Speaker 3: Be wise, in the days of your probation, strip yourselves
• 3:20:04
  Speaker 3: of all uncleanness. Ask not that ye may consume it
• 3:20:08
  Speaker 3: on your lusts, But ask with a firmness, unshaken, that
• 3:20:13
  Speaker 3: ye will yield to no temptation, but that ye will
• 3:20:16
  Speaker 3: serve the True and Living God. See that ye are
• 3:20:21
  Speaker 3: not baptized unworthily. See that ye partake not of the
• 3:20:26
  Speaker 3: sacrament of Christ unworthily. But see that ye do all
• 3:20:31
  Speaker 3: things in worthiness, and do it in the name of
• 3:20:34
  Speaker 3: Jesus Christ, the son of the Living God. And if
• 3:20:39
  Speaker 3: ye do this and endure to the end, ye will
• 3:20:43
  Speaker 3: in no wise be cast out. Behold, I speak unto
• 3:20:47
  Speaker 3: you as though I spake from the dead, for I
• 3:20:50
  Speaker 3: know that ye shall have my words. Condemn me not
• 3:20:54
  Speaker 3: because of mine imperfection, neither my Father because of his perfection,
• 3:21:01
  Speaker 3: neither them who have written before him. But rather give
• 3:21:05
  Speaker 3: thanks unto God that he hath made manifest unto you
• 3:21:09
  Speaker 3: our imperfections, that ye may learn to be more wise
• 3:21:13
  Speaker 3: than we have been. And now behold, we have written
• 3:21:18
  Speaker 3: this record according to our knowledge, in the characters which
• 3:21:22
  Speaker 3: are called among us the Reformed Egyptian, being handed down
• 3:21:27
  Speaker 3: and altered by us according to our manner of speech.
• 3:21:32
  Speaker 3: And if our plates had been sufficiently large, we should
• 3:21:35
  Speaker 3: have written in Hebrew. But the Hebrew have been altered
• 3:21:39
  Speaker 3: by us also. And if we could have written in Hebrew, behold,
• 3:21:44
  Speaker 3: ye would have had no imperfection in our record. But
• 3:21:48
  Speaker 3: the Lord knoweth the things which we have written, and
• 3:21:51
  Speaker 3: also that none other people knoweth our language, and because
• 3:21:56
  Speaker 3: that none other people knoweth our language. Therefore he hath
• 3:22:00
  Speaker 3: prepared means for the interpretation thereof. And these things are
• 3:22:06
  Speaker 3: written that we may rid our garments of the blood
• 3:22:09
  Speaker 3: of our brethren who have dwindled in unbelief. And behold
• 3:22:14
  Speaker 3: these things which we have desired concerning our brethren. Yea,
• 3:22:18
  Speaker 3: even their restoration to the knowledge of Christ, are according
• 3:22:23
  Speaker 3: to the prayers of all the saints who have dwelt
• 3:22:27
  Speaker 3: in the land. And may the Lord Jesus Christ grant
• 3:22:31
  Speaker 3: that their prayers may be answered according to their faith.
• 3:22:36
  Speaker 3: And may God the Father remember the covenant which he
• 3:22:39
  Speaker 3: hath made with the House of Israel, and may he
• 3:22:43
  Speaker 3: bless them forever through faith on the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
• 3:22:50
  Speaker 3: End of Mormon, chapter four up to the Book of Ether.
• 3:22:55
  Speaker 4: Ether chapter one. And now I'm Maron, I proceed to
• 3:23:00
  Speaker 4: give an account of those ancient inhabitants who were destroyed
• 3:23:02
  Speaker 4: by the hand of the Lord upon the face of
• 3:23:04
  Speaker 4: this north country. And I take mine account from the
• 3:23:07
  Speaker 4: twenty and four plates which were found by the people
• 3:23:09
  Speaker 4: of Limhai, which is called the Book of Ether. And
• 3:23:12
  Speaker 4: as I suppose that the first part of this record,
• 3:23:14
  Speaker 4: which speaks concerning the creation of the world, and also
• 3:23:17
  Speaker 4: of Adam. And an account from that time even to
• 3:23:19
  Speaker 4: the Great Tower, and whatsoever things transpired among the children
• 3:23:22
  Speaker 4: of men until that time is had among the Jews. Therefore,
• 3:23:26
  Speaker 4: I do not write those things which transpired from the
• 3:23:28
  Speaker 4: days of Adam until that time. They are had upon
• 3:23:31
  Speaker 4: the plates, and whoso findeth them the same will have
• 3:23:33
  Speaker 4: power that he may get the full account. But behold,
• 3:23:36
  Speaker 4: I give not the full account, but a part of
• 3:23:38
  Speaker 4: the account I give from the tower down until they
• 3:23:41
  Speaker 4: were destroyed. And on this wise do I give the account.
• 3:23:44
  Speaker 4: He that wrote this record was Ether, and he was
• 3:23:46
  Speaker 4: a descendant of Krianterer, and Krianter was the son of Morn,

  Speaker 4: and Morn was the son of Ethem, and Ethel was

  Speaker 4: and Kriantum was the son of Amnagada, and Amnagada was
• 3:24:06
  Speaker 4: the son of Erin, and Erin was a descendant of Heath,

  Speaker 4: Koram was the son of Levi, and Levi was the

  Speaker 4: son of Kim, and Kim was the son of Moriantin,

  Speaker 4: son of Heth, and Heth was the son of Comb

  Speaker 4: the son of Emr, and Emr was the son of Omer,
• 3:24:38
  Speaker 4: and Omer was the son of Shul, and Shul was
• 3:24:41
  Speaker 4: the son of KiB, and KiB was the son of Araha,
• 3:24:43
  Speaker 4: who was the son of Jared, which Jared came forth
• 3:24:46
  Speaker 4: with his brother and their families, with some others and
• 3:24:49
  Speaker 4: their families from the Great Tower. At the time the
• 3:24:52
  Speaker 4: Lord confounded the language of the people and swore in
• 3:24:54
  Speaker 4: his wrath that they should be scattered upon all the
• 3:24:56
  Speaker 4: face of the earth. And according to the word of
• 3:24:59
  Speaker 4: the Lord, the people were scat matter. And the brother
• 3:25:01
  Speaker 4: of Jared, being a large and mighty man and a
• 3:25:04
  Speaker 4: man highly favored of the Lord, Jared his brother said
• 3:25:07
  Speaker 4: unto him, cry unto the Lord, that he will not
• 3:25:09
  Speaker 4: confound us, that we may not understand our words. And
• 3:25:12
  Speaker 4: it came to pass that the brother of Jared did
• 3:25:14
  Speaker 4: cry unto the Lord, and the Lord had compassion upon Jared.
• 3:25:18
  Speaker 4: Therefore he did not confound the language of Jared, and
• 3:25:20
  Speaker 4: Jared and his brother were not confounded. Then Jared said
• 3:25:24
  Speaker 4: unto his brother, cry again unto the Lord, and it
• 3:25:27
  Speaker 4: may be that he will turn away his anger from
• 3:25:28
  Speaker 4: them who are our friends, that he confound not their language.
• 3:25:32
  Speaker 4: Then it came to pass that the brother of Jared
• 3:25:34
  Speaker 4: did cry unto the Lord, and the Lord had compassion
• 3:25:36
  Speaker 4: upon their friends and their families also that they were
• 3:25:39
  Speaker 4: not confounded. And it came to pass that Jared spake
• 3:25:42
  Speaker 4: again unto his brother, saying, go and inquire of the
• 3:25:44
  Speaker 4: Lord whether he will drive us out of the land.
• 3:25:47
  Speaker 4: And if you will drive us out of the land,
• 3:25:49
  Speaker 4: cry unto him whither we shall go? And who knoweth
• 3:25:51
  Speaker 4: but the Lord will carry us forth into a land
• 3:25:53
  Speaker 4: which is choice above all the earth. And if it
• 3:25:56
  Speaker 4: so be, let us be faithful unto the Lord, that
• 3:25:58
  Speaker 4: we may receive it for our inheritance. And it came
• 3:26:02
  Speaker 4: to pass that the brother of Jared did cry into
• 3:26:04
  Speaker 4: the Lord according to that which had been spoken by
• 3:26:06
  Speaker 4: the mouth of Jared. And it came to pass that
• 3:26:08
  Speaker 4: the Lord did hear the brother of Jared, and had
• 3:26:10
  Speaker 4: compassion upon him, and said unto him, go too, and
• 3:26:13
  Speaker 4: gather together thy flocks, both male and female, of every kind,
• 3:26:17
  Speaker 4: and also of the seed of the earth, of every kind,
• 3:26:19
  Speaker 4: and thy families, and also Jared, thy brother, and his family,
• 3:26:23
  Speaker 4: and also thy friends and their families, and the friends
• 3:26:25
  Speaker 4: of Jared and their families. And when thou hast done this,
• 3:26:28
  Speaker 4: thou shalt go at the head of them down into
• 3:26:30
  Speaker 4: the valley which is northward, and there will I meet THEE.
• 3:26:33
  Speaker 4: And I will go before THEE into a land which
• 3:26:35
  Speaker 4: is choice above all the lands of the earth. And
• 3:26:38
  Speaker 4: there will I bless THEE and thy seed, and raise
• 3:26:40
  Speaker 4: up unto me of thy seed and of the seed
• 3:26:42
  Speaker 4: of thy brother. And they who shall go with THEE
• 3:26:44
  Speaker 4: a great nation. And there shall be none greater than
• 3:26:47
  Speaker 4: the nation which I will raise up unto me of
• 3:26:49
  Speaker 4: thy seed upon all the face of the earth. And
• 3:26:51
  Speaker 4: this I will do unto THEE, because this long time
• 3:26:54
  Speaker 4: ye have cried unto me ether Chapter two. And it
• 3:27:01
  Speaker 4: came to pass that Jared and his brother and their families,
• 3:27:04
  Speaker 4: and also the friends of Jared and his brother and
• 3:27:06
  Speaker 4: their families, went down into the valley which was northward,
• 3:27:09
  Speaker 4: and the name of the valley was Nimrad, being called
• 3:27:12
  Speaker 4: after the mighty Hunter, with their flocks, which they had
• 3:27:15
  Speaker 4: gathered together, male and female of every kind, and they
• 3:27:18
  Speaker 4: did also lay snares and catch fowls of the air.
• 3:27:21
  Speaker 4: And they did also prepare a vessel, in which they
• 3:27:23
  Speaker 4: did carry with them the fish of the waters. And
• 3:27:25
  Speaker 4: they did also carry with them deseret, which by interpretation
• 3:27:28
  Speaker 4: is a honey bee. And thus they did carry with
• 3:27:30
  Speaker 4: them swarms of bees, and all manner of that which
• 3:27:33
  Speaker 4: was upon the face of the land, seeds of every kind.
• 3:27:36
  Speaker 4: And it came to pass that when they had come
• 3:27:38
  Speaker 4: down into the valley of Nimrad, the Lord came down
• 3:27:40
  Speaker 4: and talked with the brother of Jared, and he was
• 3:27:42
  Speaker 4: in a cloud, and the brother of Jared saw him not.
• 3:27:45
  Speaker 4: And it came to pass that the Lord commanded them
• 3:27:47
  Speaker 4: that they should go forth into the wilderness, ye ate
• 3:27:50
  Speaker 4: into that quarter where there never had man been. And
• 3:27:53
  Speaker 4: it came to pass that the Lord did go before
• 3:27:55
  Speaker 4: them and did talk with them as he stood in
• 3:27:57
  Speaker 4: a cloud and gave directions whether they should travel. And
• 3:28:00
  Speaker 4: it came to pass that they did travel in the wilderness,
• 3:28:02
  Speaker 4: and did build barges in which they did cross many waters,
• 3:28:05
  Speaker 4: being directed continually by the hand of the Lord. And
• 3:28:08
  Speaker 4: the Lord would not suffer that they should stop beyond
• 3:28:10
  Speaker 4: the sea in the wilderness, but he would that they
• 3:28:13
  Speaker 4: should come forth, even into the land of Promise, which
• 3:28:15
  Speaker 4: was choice above all other lands, which the Lord God
• 3:28:18
  Speaker 4: had preserved for a righteous people. And he had sworn
• 3:28:21
  Speaker 4: in his wrath unto the brother of Jared, that whoso
• 3:28:24
  Speaker 4: should possess this land of Promise from that time henceforth
• 3:28:26
  Speaker 4: and forever should serve Him, the True and only God,
• 3:28:30
  Speaker 4: or they should be swept off when the fullness of
• 3:28:31
  Speaker 4: His wrath should come upon them. And now we can
• 3:28:34
  Speaker 4: behold the decrees of God concerning this land, that it
• 3:28:37
  Speaker 4: is a land of promise, and whatsoever nation shall possess
• 3:28:40
  Speaker 4: it shall serve God, or they shall be swept off
• 3:28:43
  Speaker 4: when the fullness of His wrath shall come upon them.
• 3:28:45
  Speaker 4: And the fullness of His wrath cometh upon them when
• 3:28:47
  Speaker 4: they are ripened in iniquity. For behold, this is a
• 3:28:50
  Speaker 4: land which is choice, above all other lands. Wherefore he
• 3:28:53
  Speaker 4: that doth possess it shall serve God, or shall be
• 3:28:55
  Speaker 4: swept off. For it is the everlasting decree of God.
• 3:28:58
  Speaker 4: And it is not until the fullness of iniquity among
• 3:29:01
  Speaker 4: the children of the land that they are swept off.
• 3:29:03
  Speaker 4: And this cometh unto you, o, you gentiles, that ye
• 3:29:06
  Speaker 4: may know the decrees of God, that ye may repent
• 3:29:08
  Speaker 4: and not continue in your iniquities until the fullness come,
• 3:29:11
  Speaker 4: that ye may not bring down the fullness of the
• 3:29:13
  Speaker 4: wrath of God upon you, as the inhabitants of the
• 3:29:15
  Speaker 4: land have hitherto done. Behold, this is a choice land,
• 3:29:19
  Speaker 4: And whatsoever nations shall possess it shall be free from
• 3:29:21
  Speaker 4: bondage and from captivity, and from all other nations under heaven,
• 3:29:25
  Speaker 4: if they will but serve the God of the land,
• 3:29:27
  Speaker 4: who is Jesus Christ, who hath been manifested by the
• 3:29:30
  Speaker 4: things which we have written. And now I proceed with
• 3:29:33
  Speaker 4: my record. For behold, it came to pass that the
• 3:29:35
  Speaker 4: Lord did bring Jared and his brethren forth even to
• 3:29:38
  Speaker 4: that great sea which divideth the lands. And as they
• 3:29:41
  Speaker 4: came to the sea, they pitched their tents, and they
• 3:29:43
  Speaker 4: called the name of the place more ancomer, and they
• 3:29:45
  Speaker 4: dwelt in tents, and dwelt in tents upon the sea
• 3:29:47
  Speaker 4: shore for the space of four years. And it came
• 3:29:51
  Speaker 4: to pass at the end of four years that the
• 3:29:52
  Speaker 4: Lord came again unto the brother of Jared, and stood
• 3:29:55
  Speaker 4: in a cloud and talked with him. And for the
• 3:29:57
  Speaker 4: space of three hours did the Lord talk with the
• 3:29:59
  Speaker 4: brother of Jared, and chastened him because he remembered not
• 3:30:01
  Speaker 4: to call upon the name of the Lord. And the
• 3:30:04
  Speaker 4: brother of Jered repented of the evil which he had done,
• 3:30:06
  Speaker 4: and did call upon the name of the Lord for
• 3:30:08
  Speaker 4: his brethren who were with him. And the Lord said
• 3:30:10
  Speaker 4: unto him, I will forgive thee and thy brethren of
• 3:30:13
  Speaker 4: their sins, but thou shalt not sin any more, for
• 3:30:16
  Speaker 4: ye shall remember that my spirit will not always strive
• 3:30:18
  Speaker 4: with man. Wherefore, if ye will sin until ye are
• 3:30:21
  Speaker 4: fully ripe, ye shall be cut off from the presence
• 3:30:23
  Speaker 4: of the Lord. And these are my thoughts upon the
• 3:30:25
  Speaker 4: land which I shall give you for your inheritance, for
• 3:30:27
  Speaker 4: it shall be a land choice above all other lands.
• 3:30:30
  Speaker 4: And the Lord said, go to work and build after
• 3:30:32
  Speaker 4: the manner of barges which ye have hitherto built. And
• 3:30:35
  Speaker 4: it came to pass that the brother of Jared did
• 3:30:37
  Speaker 4: go to work, and also his brethren, and built barges
• 3:30:40
  Speaker 4: after the manner which they had built, according to the
• 3:30:42
  Speaker 4: instructions of the Lord. And they were small, and they
• 3:30:45
  Speaker 4: were light upon the water, even like unto the likeness
• 3:30:47
  Speaker 4: of a fowl upon the water. And they were built
• 3:30:50
  Speaker 4: after a manner that they were exceedingly tight, even that
• 3:30:53
  Speaker 4: they would hold water like unto a dish. And the
• 3:30:55
  Speaker 4: bottom thereof was tight like unto a dish, and the
• 3:30:58
  Speaker 4: sides thereof were tight like unto a dish, and the
• 3:31:01
  Speaker 4: ends thereof were peaked, and the top thereof was tight
• 3:31:04
  Speaker 4: like unto a dish. And the length thereof was the
• 3:31:06
  Speaker 4: length of a tree. And the door thereof, when it
• 3:31:08
  Speaker 4: was shut, was tight like unto a dish. And it
• 3:31:11
  Speaker 4: came to pass that the brother of Jared cried unto
• 3:31:13
  Speaker 4: the Lord, saying, O Lord, I have performed the work
• 3:31:16
  Speaker 4: which thou hast commanded me, And I have made the
• 3:31:18
  Speaker 4: barges according as thou hast directed me. And behold, O Lord,
• 3:31:22
  Speaker 4: in them, there is no light whither shall we steer,
• 3:31:25
  Speaker 4: and also we shall perish, for in them we cannot
• 3:31:27
  Speaker 4: breathe save it is the air which is in them.
• 3:31:30
  Speaker 4: Therefore we shall perish. And the Lord said, unto the
• 3:31:33
  Speaker 4: brother of Jared, behold, thou shalt make a hole in
• 3:31:35
  Speaker 4: the top and also in the bottom. And when thou
• 3:31:38
  Speaker 4: shalt suffer for air, thou shalt unstop the hole and
• 3:31:40
  Speaker 4: receive air. And if it be so that the water
• 3:31:43
  Speaker 4: coming upon thee, behold, ye shall stop the hole, that
• 3:31:45
  Speaker 4: ye may not perish in the flood. And it came
• 3:31:48
  Speaker 4: to pass that the brother of Jared did so according
• 3:31:51
  Speaker 4: as the Lord had commanded. And he cried again unto
• 3:31:53
  Speaker 4: the Lord, saying, O Lord, behold, I have done even
• 3:31:56
  Speaker 4: as thou hast commanded me. And I have prepared the
• 3:31:58
  Speaker 4: vessels for my people. And behold there is no light
• 3:32:01
  Speaker 4: in them. Behold, O Lord, wilt thou suffer that we
• 3:32:03
  Speaker 4: shall cross this great water in darkness?
• 3:32:06
  Speaker 5: And the Lord said, unto the brother of Jared, what
• 3:32:08
  Speaker 5: will ye that I should do that ye may have
• 3:32:10
  Speaker 5: light in your vessels? For behold, ye cannot have windows,
• 3:32:12
  Speaker 5: for they will be dashed in pieces. Neither shall ye
• 3:32:15
  Speaker 5: take fire with you, for ye shall not go by
• 3:32:17
  Speaker 5: the light of fire. For behold, ye shall be as
• 3:32:20
  Speaker 5: a wail in the midst of the sea, for the
• 3:32:21
  Speaker 5: mountain a wave shall dash upon you. Nevertheless, I will
• 3:32:25
  Speaker 5: bring you up again out of the depths of the sea.
• 3:32:27
  Speaker 5: For the winds have gone forth out of my mouth,
• 3:32:29
  Speaker 5: and also the rains and the floods have I sent forth.
• 3:32:32
  Speaker 5: And behold, I prepare you against these things, for ye
• 3:32:35
  Speaker 5: cannot cross this great deep save. I prepare you against
• 3:32:37
  Speaker 5: the waves of the sea, and the winds which have
• 3:32:40
  Speaker 5: gone forth, and the floods which shall come. Therefore, what
• 3:32:43
  Speaker 5: will ye that I should prepare for you, that ye
• 3:32:45
  Speaker 5: may have light when ye are swallowed up in the depths.
• 3:32:47
  Speaker 3: Of the sea.
• 3:32:51
  Speaker 4: Ether Chapter three. And it came to pass at the
• 3:32:55
  Speaker 4: brother of Jared. Now the number of the vessels which
• 3:32:58
  Speaker 4: had been prepared was eight. Went forth unto the mount,
• 3:33:00
  Speaker 4: which they called the Mount Shelam because of its exceeding height,
• 3:33:04
  Speaker 4: and did molten out of a rock sixteen small stones.
• 3:33:07
  Speaker 4: And they were white and clear, even as transparent glass.
• 3:33:10
  Speaker 4: And he did carry them in his hands upon the
• 3:33:12
  Speaker 4: top of the mount, and cried again unto the lord, saying, O,
• 3:33:15
  Speaker 4: Lord thou hast said that we must be encompassed about
• 3:33:17
  Speaker 4: by the floods now behold, O Lord, and do not
• 3:33:20
  Speaker 4: be angry with thy servant because of his weakness before THEE.
• 3:33:23
  Speaker 4: For we know that thou art holy and dwellest in
• 3:33:25
  Speaker 4: the heavens, and that we are unworthy before THEE because
• 3:33:28
  Speaker 4: of the fall our natures have become evil continually. Nevertheless,
• 3:33:32
  Speaker 4: O Lord, thou hast given us a commandment that we
• 3:33:34
  Speaker 4: must call upon THEE, that from THEE we may receive
• 3:33:37
  Speaker 4: according to our desires. Behold, O Lord, thou hast smitten
• 3:33:40
  Speaker 4: us because of our iniquity, and hath driven us forth,
• 3:33:43
  Speaker 4: and for these many years we have been in the wilderness. Nevertheless,
• 3:33:47
  Speaker 4: thou hast been merciful unto us, O Lord, look upon
• 3:33:49
  Speaker 4: me in pity, and turn away thine anger from this
• 3:33:51
  Speaker 4: thy people, and suffer not that they shall go forth
• 3:33:54
  Speaker 4: across this raging deep in darkness. But behold these things
• 3:33:57
  Speaker 4: which I have molten out of the rock. And I know,
• 3:34:00
  Speaker 4: O Lord, that thou hast all power and can do
• 3:34:02
  Speaker 4: whatsoever thou wilt for the benefit of man. Therefore, touch
• 3:34:05
  Speaker 4: these stones, O Lord, with thy finger, and prepare them
• 3:34:08
  Speaker 4: that they may shine forth in darkness. And they shall
• 3:34:11
  Speaker 4: shine forth unto us in the vessels which we have
• 3:34:13
  Speaker 4: prepared that we may have light while we cross the sea. Behold, O, Lord,
• 3:34:17
  Speaker 4: thou canst do this? We know that thou art able
• 3:34:19
  Speaker 4: to show forth great power, which looks small, into the
• 3:34:22
  Speaker 4: understanding of men. And it came to pass that when
• 3:34:24
  Speaker 4: the brother of Jared had said these words, behold, the
• 3:34:27
  Speaker 4: Lord stretched forth his hand and touched the stones one
• 3:34:29
  Speaker 4: by one with his finger, and the veil was taken
• 3:34:32
  Speaker 4: from off the eyes of the brother of Jared. And
• 3:34:34
  Speaker 4: he saw the finger of the Lord, and it was
• 3:34:36
  Speaker 4: as the finger of a man like unto flesh and blood.
• 3:34:39
  Speaker 4: And the brother of Jared fell down before the Lord,
• 3:34:41
  Speaker 4: for he was struck with fear. And the Lord saw
• 3:34:44
  Speaker 4: that the brother of Jared had fallen to the earth.
• 3:34:46
  Speaker 4: And the Lord said unto him, Arise, why hast thou fallen?
• 3:34:49
  Speaker 4: And he saith unto the Lord. I saw the finger
• 3:34:52
  Speaker 4: of the Lord, and I feared lest he should smite me,
• 3:34:54
  Speaker 4: for I knew not that the Lord had flesh and blood.
• 3:34:57
  Speaker 4: And the Lord said, unto him, because of thy faith,
• 3:35:00
  Speaker 4: thou hast seen that I shall take upon me flesh
• 3:35:02
  Speaker 4: and blood. And never has man come before me with
• 3:35:04
  Speaker 4: such exceeding faith as thou hast, for were it not so,
• 3:35:07
  Speaker 4: ye could not have seen my finger. Sawest thou more
• 3:35:10
  Speaker 4: than this? And he answered, nay, Lord, show thyself unto me.
• 3:35:15
  Speaker 4: And the Lord said, unto him, believest thou the words
• 3:35:18
  Speaker 4: which I shall speak. And he answered, yea, Lord, I
• 3:35:21
  Speaker 4: know that thou speakest the truth, for thou art a
• 3:35:23
  Speaker 4: god of truth, and canst not lie. And when he
• 3:35:26
  Speaker 4: had said these words, behold, the Lord showed himself unto
• 3:35:29
  Speaker 4: him and said, because thou knowest these things, ye are
• 3:35:32
  Speaker 4: redeemed from the fall. Therefore ye are brought back into
• 3:35:35
  Speaker 4: my presence. Therefore I show myself unto you. Behold, I
• 3:35:39
  Speaker 4: am he who was prepared from the foundation of the
• 3:35:41
  Speaker 4: world to redeem my people. Behold, I am Jesus Christ.
• 3:35:45
  Speaker 4: I am the Father and the Son. In me shall
• 3:35:47
  Speaker 4: all mankind have life, and that eternally, even they who
• 3:35:50
  Speaker 4: shall believe on my name, and they shall become my
• 3:35:53
  Speaker 4: sons and my daughters. And never have I shewed myself
• 3:35:56
  Speaker 4: unto man whom I have created, For never has man
• 3:35:59
  Speaker 4: believed in me, as thou teest thou that ye are
• 3:36:01
  Speaker 4: created after mine own image. Yea, even all men were
• 3:36:04
  Speaker 4: created in the beginning after mine own image. Behold, This body,
• 3:36:08
  Speaker 4: which ye now behold, is the body of my Spirit.
• 3:36:11
  Speaker 4: And man have I created after the body of my Spirit.
• 3:36:14
  Speaker 4: And even as I appear unto thee to be in
• 3:36:16
  Speaker 4: the spirit, while I appear unto my people in the flesh.
• 3:36:20
  Speaker 4: And now as I moron, I said, I could not
• 3:36:22
  Speaker 4: make a full account of these things which are written.
• 3:36:25
  Speaker 4: Therefore it sufficeth me to say that Jesus showed himself
• 3:36:28
  Speaker 4: unto this man in the spirit, even after the manner,
• 3:36:30
  Speaker 4: and in the likeness of the same body, even as
• 3:36:33
  Speaker 4: he showed himself unto the Nephites, and he ministered unto him,
• 3:36:36
  Speaker 4: even as he ministered unto the Nephites. And all this
• 3:36:39
  Speaker 4: that this man might know that he was God. Because
• 3:36:41
  Speaker 4: of the many great works which the Lord had shown
• 3:36:43
  Speaker 4: unto him, and because of the knowledge of this man,
• 3:36:46
  Speaker 4: he could not be kept from beholding within the veil.
• 3:36:48
  Speaker 4: And he saw the finger of Jesus, which when he
• 3:36:50
  Speaker 4: saw he fell with fear, for he knew that it
• 3:36:53
  Speaker 4: was the finger of the Lord, and he had faith
• 3:36:55
  Speaker 4: no longer, for he knew nothing doubting. Wherefore, having this
• 3:36:59
  Speaker 4: perfect knowledge of God, he could not be kept from
• 3:37:01
  Speaker 4: within the veil. Therefore he saw Jesus, and he did
• 3:37:04
  Speaker 4: minister unto him. And it came to pass that the
• 3:37:07
  Speaker 4: Lord said, unto the brother of Jared, behold, thou shalt
• 3:37:10
  Speaker 4: not suffer these things which ye have seen and heard
• 3:37:12
  Speaker 4: to go forth unto the world unhall. The time cometh
• 3:37:14
  Speaker 4: that I shall glorify my name in the flesh. Wherefore
• 3:37:17
  Speaker 4: ye shall treasure up the things which ye have seen
• 3:37:19
  Speaker 4: and heard, and show it to no man. And behold,
• 3:37:21
  Speaker 4: when ye shall come unto me, ye shall write them
• 3:37:23
  Speaker 4: and shall seal them up, that no one can interpret them,
• 3:37:26
  Speaker 4: for ye shall write them in a language that they
• 3:37:28
  Speaker 4: cannot be read. And behold, these two stones will I
• 3:37:32
  Speaker 4: give unto thee, and ye shall seal them up, also
• 3:37:34
  Speaker 4: with the things which ye shall write. For behold, the
• 3:37:36
  Speaker 4: language which ye shall write I have confounded. Wherefore I
• 3:37:39
  Speaker 4: will cause in my own due time that these stones
• 3:37:41
  Speaker 4: shall magnify to the eyes of men, these things which
• 3:37:44
  Speaker 4: ye shall write. And when the Lord had said these words,
• 3:37:47
  Speaker 4: he showed unto the brother of Jared, all the inhabitants
• 3:37:49
  Speaker 4: of the earth which had been, and also all that
• 3:37:51
  Speaker 4: would be. And he withheld them not from his sight,
• 3:37:54
  Speaker 4: even unto the ends of the earth. For he had
• 3:37:56
  Speaker 4: said unto him in times before that if he would
• 3:37:58
  Speaker 4: believe in him that he show unto him all things,
• 3:38:01
  Speaker 4: it should be shown unto him. Therefore, the Lord could
• 3:38:04
  Speaker 4: not withhold anything from him, for he knew that the
• 3:38:06
  Speaker 4: Lord could show him all things. And the Lord said
• 3:38:08
  Speaker 4: unto him, write these things and seal them up, and
• 3:38:11
  Speaker 4: I will show them in mine own due time unto
• 3:38:13
  Speaker 4: the children of men. And it came to pass that
• 3:38:15
  Speaker 4: the Lord commanded him that he should seal up the
• 3:38:17
  Speaker 4: two stones which he had received, and show them not
• 3:38:20
  Speaker 4: until the Lord should show them unto the children of
• 3:38:22
  Speaker 4: men ether chapter four. And the Lord commanded the brother
• 3:38:28
  Speaker 4: of Jared to go down out of the mount from
• 3:38:29
  Speaker 4: the presence of the Lord and write the things which
• 3:38:31
  Speaker 4: he had seen. And they were forbidden to come unto
• 3:38:34
  Speaker 4: the children of men until after that he should be
• 3:38:36
  Speaker 4: lifted up upon the cross. And for this cause did
• 3:38:39
  Speaker 4: King Mosiah keep them that they should not come into
• 3:38:41
  Speaker 4: the world until after Christ should show himself unto the people.
• 3:38:44
  Speaker 4: And after Christ truly had shown himself unto his people,
• 3:38:47
  Speaker 4: he commanded that they should be made manifest. And now
• 3:38:50
  Speaker 4: after that they have all dwindled an unbelief, and there
• 3:38:53
  Speaker 4: is none save it be the Lamanites, and they have
• 3:38:55
  Speaker 4: rejected the Gospel of Christ. Therefore I am commanded that
• 3:38:58
  Speaker 4: I should hide them up again in the earth. Behold,
• 3:39:01
  Speaker 4: I have written upon these plates the very things which
• 3:39:03
  Speaker 4: the brother of Jared saw. And there never were greater
• 3:39:06
  Speaker 4: things made manifest than those which were made manifest unto
• 3:39:09
  Speaker 4: the brother of Jared. Wherefore the Lord hath commanded me
• 3:39:12
  Speaker 4: to write them, and I have written them, and he
• 3:39:14
  Speaker 4: commanded me that I should seal them up. And he
• 3:39:16
  Speaker 4: also hath commanded that I should seal up the interpretation
• 3:39:19
  Speaker 4: thereof Wherefore I have sealed up the interpreters according to
• 3:39:22
  Speaker 4: the commandment of the Lord. For the Lord said unto me,
• 3:39:25
  Speaker 4: they shall not go forth unto the gentiles until the
• 3:39:27
  Speaker 4: day that they shall repent of their iniquity and become
• 3:39:29
  Speaker 4: clean before the Lord, and in that day that they
• 3:39:32
  Speaker 4: shall exercise faith in me. Saith the Lord, even as
• 3:39:35
  Speaker 4: the brother of Jared did, that they may become sanctified
• 3:39:37
  Speaker 4: in me. Then will I manifest unto them the things
• 3:39:40
  Speaker 4: which the brother of Jared saw, even to the unfolding
• 3:39:43
  Speaker 4: unto them all my revelations saith Jesus Christ, the Son
• 3:39:46
  Speaker 4: of God, the Father of the heavens and of the earth,
• 3:39:49
  Speaker 4: and all things that in them are. And he that
• 3:39:52
  Speaker 4: will contend against the word of the Lord, let him
• 3:39:54
  Speaker 4: be accursed. And he that shall deny these things, let
• 3:39:56
  Speaker 4: him be a cursed. For unto them, will I show
• 3:39:59
  Speaker 4: no greater things, Saith Jesus Christ. For I am he
• 3:40:01
  Speaker 4: who speaketh. And at my command the heavens are opened
• 3:40:05
  Speaker 4: and are shut. And at my word the earth shall shake,
• 3:40:08
  Speaker 4: and at my command the inhabitants thereof shall pass away,
• 3:40:11
  Speaker 4: even so is by fire. And he that believeth not
• 3:40:13
  Speaker 4: my words, believeth not my disciples. And if it so
• 3:40:16
  Speaker 4: be that I do not speak, judge ye, for ye
• 3:40:19
  Speaker 4: shall know that it is I that speaketh at the
• 3:40:20
  Speaker 4: last day. But he that believeth these things which I
• 3:40:23
  Speaker 4: have spoken him, will I visit with the manifestations of
• 3:40:26
  Speaker 4: my spirit, and he shall know and bear record. For
• 3:40:29
  Speaker 4: because of my spirit he shall know that these things
• 3:40:32
  Speaker 4: are true. For it persuadeth men to do good. And
• 3:40:35
  Speaker 4: whatsoever thing persuadeth men to do good, is of me.
• 3:40:38
  Speaker 4: For good cometh of none, save it be of me.
• 3:40:41
  Speaker 4: I am the same that leadeth men to all good.
• 3:40:43
  Speaker 4: He that will not believe my words will not believe
• 3:40:45
  Speaker 4: me that I am, And he that will not believe
• 3:40:48
  Speaker 4: me will not believe the Father who sent me. For Behold,
• 3:40:51
  Speaker 4: I am the Father. I am the Light and the
• 3:40:53
  Speaker 4: Life and the truth of the world. Come unto me,
• 3:40:56
  Speaker 4: O you gentiles, and I will show unto you the
• 3:40:59
  Speaker 4: greater things, the knowledge which is hid up because of unbelief.
• 3:41:02
  Speaker 4: Come unto me, o, ye house of Israel, and it
• 3:41:05
  Speaker 4: shall be made manifest unto you, how great things the
• 3:41:07
  Speaker 4: Father hath laid up for you from the foundation of
• 3:41:10
  Speaker 4: the world, and it hath not come unto you because
• 3:41:12
  Speaker 4: of unbelief. Behold, when ye shall render that veil of
• 3:41:15
  Speaker 4: unbelief which hath cause you to remain in your awful
• 3:41:18
  Speaker 4: state of wickedness and hardness of heart and blindness of mind,
• 3:41:22
  Speaker 4: then shall the great and marvelous things which have been
• 3:41:24
  Speaker 4: hit up from the foundation of the world from you, YEA.
• 3:41:27
  Speaker 4: When ye shall call upon the Father in my name
• 3:41:29
  Speaker 4: with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, then shall
• 3:41:32
  Speaker 4: ye know that the Father hath remembered the covenant which
• 3:41:34
  Speaker 4: ye made unto your fathers, O, House of Israel. And
• 3:41:37
  Speaker 4: then shall my revelations, which I have cause to be
• 3:41:39
  Speaker 4: written by my servant John, be unfolded in the eyes
• 3:41:42
  Speaker 4: of all the people. Remember, when ye see these things,
• 3:41:45
  Speaker 4: ye shall know that the time is at hand that
• 3:41:47
  Speaker 4: they shall be made manifest in the very deed. Therefore,
• 3:41:50
  Speaker 4: when ye shall receive this record, ye may know that
• 3:41:52
  Speaker 4: the work of the Father has commenced upon all the
• 3:41:54
  Speaker 4: face of the land. Therefore, repent all ye ends of
• 3:41:58
  Speaker 4: the earth, and come unto me and leave in my
• 3:42:00
  Speaker 4: gospel and be baptized in my name. For he that
• 3:42:03
  Speaker 4: believeth and is baptized shall be saved. But he that
• 3:42:07
  Speaker 4: believeth not shall be damned. And signs shall follow them
• 3:42:10
  Speaker 4: that believe in my name. And blessed is he that
• 3:42:13
  Speaker 4: is found faithful unto my name with the last day,
• 3:42:15
  Speaker 4: for he shall be lifted up to dwell in the
• 3:42:17
  Speaker 4: kingdom prepared for him from the foundation of the world.
• 3:42:20
  Speaker 4: And behold, it is I that hath spoken it Amen.
• 3:42:26
  Speaker 4: End of Ether Chapters one through four, Ether Chapter five.
• 3:42:32
  Speaker 4: And now I, Morona, I have written the words which
• 3:42:34
  Speaker 4: were commanded me according to my memory. And I have
• 3:42:37
  Speaker 4: told you the things which I have sealed up. Therefore
• 3:42:40
  Speaker 4: touch them not in order that ye may translate, for
• 3:42:42
  Speaker 4: that thing is forbidden you, except by and by it
• 3:42:44
  Speaker 4: shall be wisdom in God. And behold, ye may be
• 3:42:48
  Speaker 4: privileged that ye may show the plates unto those who
• 3:42:50
  Speaker 4: shall assist to bring forth this work, and unto three
• 3:42:53
  Speaker 4: shall they be shown by the power of God. Wherefore
• 3:42:56
  Speaker 4: they shall know of a surety that these things are true.
• 3:42:58
  Speaker 4: And in the mouth of three witnesses shall these things
• 3:43:01
  Speaker 4: be established, and the testimony of three, and this work
• 3:43:04
  Speaker 4: in the which shall be shown forth the power of God,
• 3:43:06
  Speaker 4: and also His word, of which the Father and the
• 3:43:09
  Speaker 4: Son and the Holy Ghost bear record. And all this
• 3:43:12
  Speaker 4: shall stand as a testimony against the world at the
• 3:43:14
  Speaker 4: last day. And if it so be that they repent
• 3:43:17
  Speaker 4: and come unto the Father in the name of Jesus,
• 3:43:19
  Speaker 4: they shall be received into the Kingdom of God. And now,
• 3:43:22
  Speaker 4: if I have no authority for these things, judge ye,
• 3:43:25
  Speaker 4: for ye shall know that I have authority when ye
• 3:43:27
  Speaker 4: shall see me, and we shall stand before God at
• 3:43:30
  Speaker 4: the last day. Amen Ether Chapter six. And now I Morona,
• 3:43:36
  Speaker 4: I proceed to give the record of Jared and his brother.
• 3:43:39
  Speaker 4: For it came to pass that after the Lord had
• 3:43:41
  Speaker 4: prepared the stones which the brother of Jared had carried
• 3:43:44
  Speaker 4: up into the mount. The brother of Jared came down
• 3:43:46
  Speaker 4: out of the mount, and he did put forth the
• 3:43:48
  Speaker 4: stones into the vessels, which were prepared, one in each
• 3:43:51
  Speaker 4: end thereof, And behold, they did give light unto the vessels.
• 3:43:54
  Speaker 4: And thus the Lord caused stones to shine in darkness,
• 3:43:58
  Speaker 4: to give light unto men, women and children, and that
• 3:44:00
  Speaker 4: they might not cross the great waters in darkness. And
• 3:44:03
  Speaker 4: it came to pass that when they had prepared all
• 3:44:05
  Speaker 4: manner of food, that thereby they might subsist upon the water,
• 3:44:09
  Speaker 4: and also food for their flocks and herds, and whatsoever
• 3:44:11
  Speaker 4: beasts or animal or fowl, that they should carry with them.
• 3:44:15
  Speaker 4: And it came to pass that when they had done
• 3:44:16
  Speaker 4: all these things, they got aboard of their vessels or barges,
• 3:44:19
  Speaker 4: and set forth into the sea, commending themselves unto the
• 3:44:22
  Speaker 4: Lord their God. And it came to pass that the
• 3:44:25
  Speaker 4: Lord God caused that there should be a furious wind
• 3:44:27
  Speaker 4: blow upon the face of the waters towards the promised land.
• 3:44:31
  Speaker 4: And thus they were tossed upon the waves of the
• 3:44:32
  Speaker 4: sea before the wind. And it came to pass that
• 3:44:35
  Speaker 4: they were many times buried in the depths of the sea,
• 3:44:37
  Speaker 4: because of the mountain waves which broke upon them, and
• 3:44:40
  Speaker 4: also the great and terrible tempests which were caused by
• 3:44:43
  Speaker 4: the fierceness of the wind. And it came to pass
• 3:44:45
  Speaker 4: that when they were buried in the deep, there was
• 3:44:47
  Speaker 4: no water that could hurt them, their vessels being tight
• 3:44:50
  Speaker 4: like unto a dish. And also they were tight like
• 3:44:52
  Speaker 4: unto the ark of Noah. Therefore, when they were encompassed
• 3:44:55
  Speaker 4: about by many waters, they did cry unto the Lord,
• 3:44:57
  Speaker 4: and he did bring them forth again upon the top
• 3:44:59
  Speaker 4: of the water. And it came to pass that the
• 3:45:02
  Speaker 4: wind did never cease to blow towards the promised land
• 3:45:04
  Speaker 4: while they were upon the waters. And thus they were
• 3:45:07
  Speaker 4: driven forth before the wind. And they did sing praises
• 3:45:10
  Speaker 4: unto the Lord. Yea, the brother of Jared, did sing
• 3:45:12
  Speaker 4: praises unto the Lord, and he did thank and praise
• 3:45:15
  Speaker 4: the Lord all the day long, And when the night came,
• 3:45:17
  Speaker 4: they did not cease to praise the Lord. And thus
• 3:45:20
  Speaker 4: they were driven forth. And no monster of the sea
• 3:45:22
  Speaker 4: could break them, neither wail that could mar them. And
• 3:45:25
  Speaker 4: they did have light continually, whether it was above the
• 3:45:28
  Speaker 4: water or under the water. And thus they were driven forth.
• 3:45:31
  Speaker 4: Three hundred and forty and four days upon the water,
• 3:45:34
  Speaker 4: and they did land upon the shore of the Promised Land.
• 3:45:37
  Speaker 4: And when they had set their feet upon the shores
• 3:45:38
  Speaker 4: of the Promised Land, they bowed themselves down upon the
• 3:45:41
  Speaker 4: face of the land, and did humble themselves before the Lord,
• 3:45:44
  Speaker 4: and had shed tears of joy before the Lord because
• 3:45:47
  Speaker 4: of the multitude of his tender mercies over them. And
• 3:45:50
  Speaker 4: it came to pass that they went forth upon the
• 3:45:52
  Speaker 4: face of the land and began to till the earth.
• 3:45:55
  Speaker 4: And Jared had four sons, and they were called Jacob
• 3:45:58
  Speaker 4: and Gilga, and Maiha and Doraihah. And the brother of
• 3:46:01
  Speaker 4: Jared also begat sons and daughters. And the friends of
• 3:46:04
  Speaker 4: Jared and his brother were in number about twenty and
• 3:46:07
  Speaker 4: two souls, and they also begat sons and daughters before
• 3:46:10
  Speaker 4: they came to the Promised Land. And therefore they began
• 3:46:12
  Speaker 4: to be many. And they were taught to walk humbly
• 3:46:15
  Speaker 4: before the Lord. And they were also taught from on high.
• 3:46:18
  Speaker 4: And it king to pass that they began to spread
• 3:46:20
  Speaker 4: upon the face of the land, and to multiply, and
• 3:46:22
  Speaker 4: to till the earth.
• 3:46:23
  Speaker 1: And they did.
• 3:46:24
  Speaker 4: Wax strong in the land, and the brother of Jared
• 3:46:27
  Speaker 4: began to be old and saw that he must soon
• 3:46:29
  Speaker 4: go down to the grave. Wherefore he said, unto Jared,
• 3:46:32
  Speaker 4: let us gather together our people, that we may number them,
• 3:46:35
  Speaker 4: that we may know of them what they will desire
• 3:46:37
  Speaker 4: of us, before we go down to our graves. And
• 3:46:39
  Speaker 4: accordingly the people were gathered together. Now the number of
• 3:46:42
  Speaker 4: the sons and the daughters of the brother of Jared
• 3:46:45
  Speaker 4: were twenty and two souls, and the number of sons
• 3:46:47
  Speaker 4: and daughters of Jared were twelve, he having four sons.
• 3:46:51
  Speaker 4: And it came to pass that they did number their people.
• 3:46:53
  Speaker 4: And after that they had numbered them, they did desire
• 3:46:56
  Speaker 4: of them the things which they would that they should
• 3:46:58
  Speaker 4: do before they went down to their graves. And it
• 3:47:01
  Speaker 4: came to pass that the people desired of them that
• 3:47:03
  Speaker 4: they should anoint one of their sons to be a
• 3:47:05
  Speaker 4: king over them. And now behold, this was grievous unto them,
• 3:47:09
  Speaker 4: And the brother of Jared said, unto them, surely this
• 3:47:11
  Speaker 4: thing leadeth into captivity. But Jared said, unto his brother,
• 3:47:15
  Speaker 4: suffer them that they may have a king. And therefore
• 3:47:17
  Speaker 4: he said, unto them, choose he out from among our
• 3:47:20
  Speaker 4: sons a king, even whom you will. And it came
• 3:47:23
  Speaker 4: to pass that they chose even the first born of
• 3:47:25
  Speaker 4: the brother of Jared, and his name was Pagag. And
• 3:47:28
  Speaker 4: it came to pass that he refused and would not
• 3:47:30
  Speaker 4: be their king. And the people would that his father
• 3:47:33
  Speaker 4: should constrain him, but his father would not, and he
• 3:47:36
  Speaker 4: commanded them that they should constrain no man to be
• 3:47:38
  Speaker 4: their king. And it came to pass that they chose
• 3:47:40
  Speaker 4: all the brothers of Pagag, and they would not. And
• 3:47:43
  Speaker 4: it came to pass that neither would the sons of Jared,
• 3:47:46
  Speaker 4: even all save it were one. And Oraihah was anointed
• 3:47:49
  Speaker 4: to be king over the people, and he began to reign,
• 3:47:52
  Speaker 4: and the people began to prosper, and they became exceedingly rich.
• 3:47:55
  Speaker 4: And it came to pass that Jared died, and his
• 3:47:57
  Speaker 4: brother also, And it came to pass at Araiha did
• 3:48:01
  Speaker 4: walk humbly before the Lord, and did remember how great
• 3:48:04
  Speaker 4: things the Lord had done for his father, and also
• 3:48:06
  Speaker 4: taught his people how great things the Lord had done
• 3:48:08
  Speaker 4: for their fathers Ether chapter seven. And it came to
• 3:48:14
  Speaker 4: pass that OURAI had did execute judgment upon the land
• 3:48:17
  Speaker 4: in righteousness all his days, whose days were exceedingly many,
• 3:48:21
  Speaker 4: and he begat sons and daughters. Yea, he begat thirty
• 3:48:24
  Speaker 4: and one, among whom were twenty and three sons. And
• 3:48:27
  Speaker 4: it came to pass that he also begat KiB in
• 3:48:30
  Speaker 4: his old age. And it came to pass that KiB
• 3:48:32
  Speaker 4: reigned in his stead, and KiB begat Korihor. And when
• 3:48:36
  Speaker 4: Korihor was thirty and two years old, he rebelled against
• 3:48:39
  Speaker 4: his father and went over and dwelt in the land
• 3:48:41
  Speaker 4: of Nihor, and he begat sons and daughters, and they
• 3:48:44
  Speaker 4: became exceedingly fair. Wherefore Korihor drew away many people after him.
• 3:48:49
  Speaker 4: And when he had gathered together an army, he came
• 3:48:51
  Speaker 4: up unto the land of Moran, where the king dwelt,
• 3:48:53
  Speaker 4: and took him captive, which brought to pass the saying
• 3:48:56
  Speaker 4: of the brother of Jared that they would be brought
• 3:48:58
  Speaker 4: into captivity. The land of Morn, where the king dwelt,
• 3:49:02
  Speaker 4: was near the land which is called desolation by the Nephites.
• 3:49:05
  Speaker 4: And it came to pass that KiB dwelt in captivity,
• 3:49:08
  Speaker 4: and his people under Korhor his son, until he became
• 3:49:11
  Speaker 4: exceedingly old. Nevertheless, KiB begat Schul in his old age,
• 3:49:15
  Speaker 4: while he was yet in captivity. And it came to
• 3:49:17
  Speaker 4: pass that Shul was angry with his brother, and Shul
• 3:49:20
  Speaker 4: waxed strong and became mighty as to the strength of
• 3:49:23
  Speaker 4: a man. And he was also mighty in judgment. Wherefore
• 3:49:26
  Speaker 4: he came to the hill Ephraim, and he did molten
• 3:49:29
  Speaker 4: out of the hill and made swords out of steel
• 3:49:31
  Speaker 4: for those whom he had drawn away with him. And
• 3:49:33
  Speaker 4: after he had armed them with swords, he returned to
• 3:49:35
  Speaker 4: the city Niehor and gave battle unto his brother Korihor,
• 3:49:38
  Speaker 4: by which means he obtained the kingdom and restored it
• 3:49:41
  Speaker 4: unto his father KiB. And now, because of the thing
• 3:49:43
  Speaker 4: which Schule had done, his father bestowed upon him the kingdom.
• 3:49:47
  Speaker 4: Therefore he began to reign in the stead of his father.
• 3:49:49
  Speaker 4: And it came to pass that he did execute judgment
• 3:49:52
  Speaker 4: in righteousness, and he did spread his kingdom upon all
• 3:49:55
  Speaker 4: the face of the land, for the people had become
• 3:49:57
  Speaker 4: exceedingly numerous. And it came to pass that Shule also
• 3:50:00
  Speaker 4: begat many sons and daughters, and Korihor repented of the
• 3:50:04
  Speaker 4: many evils which he had done. Wherefore Shul gave him
• 3:50:07
  Speaker 4: power in his kingdom. And it came to pass that
• 3:50:09
  Speaker 4: Korihor had many sons and daughters. And among the sons
• 3:50:13
  Speaker 4: of Korihor, there was one whose name was Noah. And
• 3:50:15
  Speaker 4: it came to pass that Noah rebelled against Shul the
• 3:50:18
  Speaker 4: King and also his father Korihor, and drew away Kohor,
• 3:50:22
  Speaker 4: his brother, and also all his brethren and many of
• 3:50:24
  Speaker 4: the people. And he gave battle unto Shul the King,
• 3:50:28
  Speaker 4: in which he did obtain the land of their first inheritance,
• 3:50:30
  Speaker 4: and he became a king over that part of the land.
• 3:50:33
  Speaker 4: And it came to pass that he gave battle again
• 3:50:35
  Speaker 4: unto Shul the King, and he took Shul the king
• 3:50:38
  Speaker 4: and carried him away captive into Moron. And it came
• 3:50:41
  Speaker 4: to pass as he was about to put him to death,
• 3:50:43
  Speaker 4: the sons of Shul crept into the house of Noah
• 3:50:45
  Speaker 4: by night and slew him and broke down the door
• 3:50:48
  Speaker 4: of the prison, and brought out their father and placed
• 3:50:50
  Speaker 4: him upon his throne in his own kingdom. Wherefore the
• 3:50:54
  Speaker 4: son of Noah did build up his kingdom in his stead. Nevertheless,
• 3:50:57
  Speaker 4: they did not gain power any more over. Shul the
• 3:50:59
  Speaker 4: king and the people who were under the reign of Shul.
• 3:51:02
  Speaker 4: The king did prosper exceedingly and wax great, and the
• 3:51:05
  Speaker 4: country was divided, and there were two kingdoms, the Kingdom
• 3:51:08
  Speaker 4: of Shul and the Kingdom of Kohor, the son of Noah.
• 3:51:11
  Speaker 4: And Kohor, the son of Noah, caused that his people
• 3:51:14
  Speaker 4: should give battle unto Shul, in which Shul did beat
• 3:51:17
  Speaker 4: them and did slay Kohor. And now Kohor had a
• 3:51:20
  Speaker 4: son who was called Nimrad. And Nimrad gave up the
• 3:51:23
  Speaker 4: kingdom of Kohor unto Shul, and he did gain favor
• 3:51:26
  Speaker 4: in the eyes of Shul. Wherefore Shul did bestow great
• 3:51:29
  Speaker 4: favors upon him, and he did doe in the Kingdom
• 3:51:31
  Speaker 4: of Shul according to his desires. And also in the
• 3:51:34
  Speaker 4: reign of Shul, there came prophets among the people who
• 3:51:37
  Speaker 4: were sent from the Lord, prophesying that the wickedness and
• 3:51:40
  Speaker 4: idolatry of the people was bringing a curse upon the land,
• 3:51:43
  Speaker 4: and they should be destroyed if they did not repent.
• 3:51:45
  Speaker 4: And it came to pass that the people did revile
• 3:51:47
  Speaker 4: against the prophets and did mock them, and it came
• 3:51:50
  Speaker 4: to pass that King Shul did execute judgment against all
• 3:51:53
  Speaker 4: those who did revile against the prophets, and he did
• 3:51:56
  Speaker 4: execute a law throughout all the land which gave power
• 3:51:59
  Speaker 4: unto the prophets, that they should go whithersoever they would.
• 3:52:02
  Speaker 4: And by this cause the people were brought unto repentance.
• 3:52:05
  Speaker 4: And because the people did repent of their iniquities and idolatries,
• 3:52:08
  Speaker 4: the Lord did spare them, and they began to prosper
• 3:52:11
  Speaker 4: again in the land. And it came to pass that
• 3:52:13
  Speaker 4: Shul begat sons and daughters in his old age, and
• 3:52:17
  Speaker 4: there were no more wars in the days of Shule.
• 3:52:19
  Speaker 4: And he remembered the great things that the Lord had
• 3:52:21
  Speaker 4: done for his fathers in bringing them across the great
• 3:52:23
  Speaker 4: Deep into the Promised land. Wherefore he did execute judgment
• 3:52:27
  Speaker 4: and righteousness all his days Ether chapter eight. And it
• 3:52:32
  Speaker 4: came to pass that he begat Omer, and Omer reigned
• 3:52:35
  Speaker 4: in his stead, and Omer begat Jared, and Jared begat
• 3:52:38
  Speaker 4: sons and daughters. And Jared rebelled against his father and
• 3:52:42
  Speaker 4: came and dwelt in the land of Heath. And it
• 3:52:45
  Speaker 4: came to pass that he did flatter many people because
• 3:52:47
  Speaker 4: of his cunning words until he had gained the half
• 3:52:50
  Speaker 4: of the kingdom. And when he had gained the half
• 3:52:52
  Speaker 4: of the kingdom, he gave battle unto his father, and
• 3:52:55
  Speaker 4: he did carry away his father into captivity, and did
• 3:52:57
  Speaker 4: make him serve in captivity. And now in the days
• 3:53:00
  Speaker 4: of the reigns of Omer, he was in captivity the
• 3:53:02
  Speaker 4: half of his days. And it came to pass that
• 3:53:05
  Speaker 4: he begat sons and daughters, among whom were Ezram and Coriantomer.
• 3:53:09
  Speaker 4: And they were exceedingly angry because of the doings of Jared,
• 3:53:12
  Speaker 4: their brother, insomuch that they did raise an army and
• 3:53:14
  Speaker 4: gave battle unto Jered. And it came to pass that
• 3:53:17
  Speaker 4: they did give battle unto him by night. And it
• 3:53:19
  Speaker 4: came to pass that when they had slain the army
• 3:53:21
  Speaker 4: of Jared, they were about to slay him also, and
• 3:53:24
  Speaker 4: he pled with them that they would not slay him,
• 3:53:26
  Speaker 4: and he would give up the kingdom unto his father.
• 3:53:28
  Speaker 4: And it came to pass that they did grant unto
• 3:53:30
  Speaker 4: him his life. And now Jered became exceedingly sorrowful because
• 3:53:34
  Speaker 4: of the loss of the kingdom, for he had set
• 3:53:37
  Speaker 4: his heart upon the kingdom and upon the glory of
• 3:53:39
  Speaker 4: the world. Now the daughter of Jared, being exceedingly expert,
• 3:53:43
  Speaker 4: and seeing the sorrows of her father, thought to devise
• 3:53:46
  Speaker 4: a plan whereby she could redeem the kingdom unto her father. Now,
• 3:53:49
  Speaker 4: the daughter of Jared was exceedingly fair, and it came
• 3:53:52
  Speaker 4: to pass that she did talk with her father and
• 3:53:54
  Speaker 4: said unto him, whereby hath my father so much sorrow?
• 3:53:58
  Speaker 4: Hath he not read the record which are fot brought
• 3:54:00
  Speaker 4: across the great deep? Behold, is there not an account
• 3:54:03
  Speaker 4: concerning them of old, that they by their secret plans
• 3:54:06
  Speaker 4: to obtain kingdoms and great glory. And now therefore let
• 3:54:10
  Speaker 4: my father send for Akish, the son of Kimnor. And behold,
• 3:54:14
  Speaker 4: I am fair, and I will dance before him, and
• 3:54:16
  Speaker 4: I will please him that he will desire me to wife. Wherefore,
• 3:54:19
  Speaker 4: if ye shall desire of thee that ye shall give
• 3:54:21
  Speaker 4: unto him me to wife, then shall ye say, I
• 3:54:24
  Speaker 4: will give her if ye will bring unto me the
• 3:54:26
  Speaker 4: head of my father the king. And now Omer was
• 3:54:29
  Speaker 4: a friend to Akish. Wherefore, when Jared had sent for Akish,
• 3:54:32
  Speaker 4: the daughter of Jared danced before him, that she pleased
• 3:54:35
  Speaker 4: him insomuch that he desired her to wife. And it
• 3:54:38
  Speaker 4: came to pass that he said, unto Jared, give her
• 3:54:41
  Speaker 4: unto me to wife, And Jared said unto him, I
• 3:54:44
  Speaker 4: will give her unto you, if ye will bring unto
• 3:54:46
  Speaker 4: me the head of my father, the King. And it
• 3:54:48
  Speaker 4: came to pass that Akish gathered in unto the house
• 3:54:51
  Speaker 4: of Jared all his kinsfolk, and said, unto them, will
• 3:54:54
  Speaker 4: ye swear unto me that ye will be faithful unto
• 3:54:57
  Speaker 4: me in the thing which I shall desire of you.
• 3:54:59
  Speaker 4: And it came to that they all swear unto him,
• 3:55:01
  Speaker 4: by the God of heaven, and also by the heavens,
• 3:55:03
  Speaker 4: and also by the earth, and by their heads, that
• 3:55:06
  Speaker 4: whoso should vary from the assistance which Akish desired should
• 3:55:09
  Speaker 4: lose his head, and whoso should divulge whatsoever thing Akish
• 3:55:12
  Speaker 4: made known unto them, the same should lose his life.
• 3:55:15
  Speaker 4: And it came to pass that thus they did agree
• 3:55:18
  Speaker 4: with Akish, and AKSh did administer unto them the oaths
• 3:55:20
  Speaker 4: which were given by them of old, who also sought power,
• 3:55:23
  Speaker 4: which had been handed down even from Cain, who was
• 3:55:26
  Speaker 4: a murderer from the beginning. And they were kept up
• 3:55:29
  Speaker 4: by the power of the devil to administer these oaths
• 3:55:31
  Speaker 4: unto the people, to keep them in darkness, to help
• 3:55:34
  Speaker 4: such as sought power, to gain power, and to murder,
• 3:55:36
  Speaker 4: and to plunder, and to lie, and to commit all
• 3:55:39
  Speaker 4: manner of wickedness and hortoms. And it was the daughter
• 3:55:42
  Speaker 4: of Jared who put it into his heart to search
• 3:55:44
  Speaker 4: up these things of old, And Jared put it into
• 3:55:47
  Speaker 4: the heart of Akish. Wherefore Akish administered it unto his
• 3:55:50
  Speaker 4: kindred and friends, leading them away by fair promises to
• 3:55:53
  Speaker 4: do whatsoever thing he desired. And it came to pass
• 3:55:57
  Speaker 4: that they formed a secret combination, even as they of old,
• 3:56:00
  Speaker 4: which combination is most abominable and wicked above all in
• 3:56:03
  Speaker 4: the sight of God. For the Lord worketh not in
• 3:56:06
  Speaker 4: secret combinations, neither doth he will that man should shed blood.
• 3:56:10
  Speaker 4: But in all things hath forbidden it from the beginning
• 3:56:12
  Speaker 4: of man. And now I moron, I do not write
• 3:56:16
  Speaker 4: the manner of their oaths and combinations, for it hath
• 3:56:19
  Speaker 4: been made known unto me, that they are had among
• 3:56:21
  Speaker 4: all people, and they are had among the Lamanites. And
• 3:56:24
  Speaker 4: they have caused the destruction of this people of whom
• 3:56:26
  Speaker 4: I am now speaking, and also the destruction of the
• 3:56:29
  Speaker 4: people of Nephi, and whatsoever nation shall uphold such secret
• 3:56:32
  Speaker 4: combinations to get power and gain, until they shall spread
• 3:56:36
  Speaker 4: over the nation. Behold, they shall be destroyed. For the
• 3:56:39
  Speaker 4: Lord will not suffer that the blood of his saints,
• 3:56:42
  Speaker 4: which shall be shed by them, shall always cry into
• 3:56:44
  Speaker 4: him from the ground for vengeance upon them. And yet
• 3:56:47
  Speaker 4: he avenge them not. Wherefore, o, ye gentiles, it is
• 3:56:51
  Speaker 4: wisdom in God, that these things should be shown unto you,
• 3:56:53
  Speaker 4: that thereby ye may repent of your sins and suffer
• 3:56:56
  Speaker 4: not that these murderous combinations shall get above you, which
• 3:56:59
  Speaker 4: are built up together power and gain, and the work yea,
• 3:57:02
  Speaker 4: even the work of destruction come upon you. YEA, even
• 3:57:05
  Speaker 4: the sword of the justice of the Eternal God shall
• 3:57:07
  Speaker 4: fall upon you, to your overthrow and destruction, if ye
• 3:57:10
  Speaker 4: shall suffer these things to be. Wherefore the Lord commandeth you,
• 3:57:15
  Speaker 4: when ye shall see these things come among you, that
• 3:57:17
  Speaker 4: ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation
• 3:57:20
  Speaker 4: because of this sacred combination which shall be among you,
• 3:57:23
  Speaker 4: or woe be unto it, because of the blood of
• 3:57:26
  Speaker 4: them who have been slain, for they cry from the
• 3:57:28
  Speaker 4: dust for vengeance upon it, and also upon those who
• 3:57:31
  Speaker 4: built it up. For it cometh to pass, that whoso
• 3:57:34
  Speaker 4: buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations,
• 3:57:37
  Speaker 4: and countries. And it bringeth to pass the destruction of
• 3:57:40
  Speaker 4: all people. For it is built up by the devil,
• 3:57:43
  Speaker 4: who is the father of all lies, even that same
• 3:57:45
  Speaker 4: liar who beguiled our first parents. Yea, even that same
• 3:57:49
  Speaker 4: liar who hath caused man to commit murder from the beginning,
• 3:57:52
  Speaker 4: who hath hardened the hearts of men, that they have
• 3:57:54
  Speaker 4: murdered the prophets and stoned them and cast them out
• 3:57:57
  Speaker 4: from the beginning. Wherefore, I Moro, I am commanded to
• 3:58:00
  Speaker 4: write these things, that evil may be done away, and
• 3:58:03
  Speaker 4: that the time may come that Satan may have no
• 3:58:05
  Speaker 4: power upon the hearts of the children of men, but
• 3:58:08
  Speaker 4: that they may be persuaded to do good continually, that
• 3:58:10
  Speaker 4: they may come unto the fountain of all righteousness and
• 3:58:13
  Speaker 4: be saved. Ether chapter nine. And now I Marona, I
• 3:58:19
  Speaker 4: proceed with my record. Therefore, behold it came to pass
• 3:58:23
  Speaker 4: that because of the secret combinations of Akish and his friends. Behold,
• 3:58:27
  Speaker 4: they did overthrow the kingdom of Omer. Nevertheless, the Lord
• 3:58:30
  Speaker 4: was merciful unto Omer, and also to his sons, and
• 3:58:32
  Speaker 4: to his daughters, who did not seek his destruction. And
• 3:58:35
  Speaker 4: the Lord warned Omer in a dream that he should
• 3:58:38
  Speaker 4: depart out of the land. Wherefore Omer departed out of
• 3:58:41
  Speaker 4: the land with his family, and traveled many days, and
• 3:58:44
  Speaker 4: came over and passed by the Hill of Shim, and
• 3:58:46
  Speaker 4: came over by the place where the Nephites were destroyed,
• 3:58:49
  Speaker 4: and from thence eastward and came to a place which
• 3:58:52
  Speaker 4: was called Ablam by the sea shore. And there he
• 3:58:55
  Speaker 4: pitched his tent, and also his sons and his daughters,
• 3:58:57
  Speaker 4: and all his household save it were jared in his family.
• 3:59:01
  Speaker 4: And it came to pass that Jered was anointed king
• 3:59:03
  Speaker 4: over the people by the hand of wickedness, and he
• 3:59:05
  Speaker 4: gave unto Akish, his daughter to wife. And it came
• 3:59:09
  Speaker 4: to pass that Akish sought the life of his father
• 3:59:11
  Speaker 4: in law, and he applied unto those whom he had
• 3:59:13
  Speaker 4: sworn by the oath of the ancients, and they obtained
• 3:59:16
  Speaker 4: the head of his father in law. As he sat
• 3:59:18
  Speaker 4: upon his throne giving audience to his people, For so
• 3:59:22
  Speaker 4: great had been the spreading of this wicked and secret
• 3:59:24
  Speaker 4: society that it had corrupted the hearts of all the people.
• 3:59:28
  Speaker 4: Therefore Jered was murdered upon his throne, and Aikish reigned
• 3:59:31
  Speaker 4: in his stead. And it came to pass that Akish
• 3:59:34
  Speaker 4: began to be jealous of his son. Therefore he shut
• 3:59:37
  Speaker 4: him up in prison and kept him upon little or
• 3:59:39
  Speaker 4: no food, until he had suffered death. And now the
• 3:59:42
  Speaker 4: brother of him that suffered death, and his name was Nimrah,
• 3:59:45
  Speaker 4: was angry with his father because of that which his
• 3:59:47
  Speaker 4: father had done unto his brother. And it came to
• 3:59:50
  Speaker 4: pass that Nimrad gathered together a small number of men
• 3:59:53
  Speaker 4: and fled out of the land and came over and
• 3:59:55
  Speaker 4: dwelt with Omer. And it came to pass that Akish
• 3:59:58
  Speaker 4: begat other sons, and they won the hearts of the people,
• 4:00:02
  Speaker 4: notwithstanding they had sworn unto him to do all manner
• 4:00:04
  Speaker 4: of iniquity according to that which he desired. Now the
• 4:00:07
  Speaker 4: people of Akish were desirous for gain, even as Akish
• 4:00:11
  Speaker 4: was desirous for power. Wherefore the sons of Akish did
• 4:00:14
  Speaker 4: offer them money, by which means they drew away the
• 4:00:16
  Speaker 4: more part of the people after them. And there began
• 4:00:19
  Speaker 4: to be a war between the sons of Akish and Aikish,
• 4:00:22
  Speaker 4: which lasted for the space of many years. Yea, unto
• 4:00:25
  Speaker 4: the destruction of nearly all the people of the kingdom. Yea,
• 4:00:29
  Speaker 4: even all save it were thirty souls, and they who
• 4:00:31
  Speaker 4: fled with the house of Omer. Wherefore Omer was restored
• 4:00:35
  Speaker 4: again to the land of his inheritance. And it came
• 4:00:38
  Speaker 4: to pass that Omer began to be old. Nevertheless, in
• 4:00:41
  Speaker 4: his old age, he begat Emer, and he anointed Emer
• 4:00:44
  Speaker 4: to be king, to reign in his stead. And after
• 4:00:47
  Speaker 4: that he had anointed Emer to be king, he saw
• 4:00:49
  Speaker 4: peace in the land for the space of two years,
• 4:00:52
  Speaker 4: and he died having seen exceedingly many days which were
• 4:00:55
  Speaker 4: full of sorrow. And it came to pass that Emer
• 4:00:58
  Speaker 4: did reign in his stead and did fill the steps
• 4:01:00
  Speaker 4: of his father, and the Lord began again to take
• 4:01:03
  Speaker 4: the curse from off the land, and the house of
• 4:01:06
  Speaker 4: Emr did prosper exceedingly under the reign of Emer, And
• 4:01:09
  Speaker 4: in the space of sixty and two years they had
• 4:01:11
  Speaker 4: become exceedingly strong, insomuch that they became exceedingly rich, having
• 4:01:16
  Speaker 4: all manner of fruit and of grain, and of silks
• 4:01:18
  Speaker 4: and of fine linen, and of gold, and of silver,
• 4:01:21
  Speaker 4: and of precious things, and also all manner of cattle,
• 4:01:24
  Speaker 4: of oxen and cows, and of sheep, and of swine,
• 4:01:27
  Speaker 4: and of goats, and also many other kinds of animals,
• 4:01:30
  Speaker 4: which were useful for the food of man. And they
• 4:01:32
  Speaker 4: also had horses and asses. And there were elephants and
• 4:01:35
  Speaker 4: culums and coumams, all of which were useful unto man,
• 4:01:39
  Speaker 4: and more especially the elephants and culams and coumums. And
• 4:01:43
  Speaker 4: thus the Lord did pour out his blessings upon this land,
• 4:01:45
  Speaker 4: which was choice above all other lands. And he commanded
• 4:01:48
  Speaker 4: that whoso should possess the land should possess it unto
• 4:01:51
  Speaker 4: the Lord, or they should be destroyed when they were
• 4:01:53
  Speaker 4: ripened in iniquity. For upon such saith, the Lord I
• 4:01:57
  Speaker 4: will pour out the fullness of my wrath. And Emer
• 4:02:00
  Speaker 4: did execute judgment in righteousness all his days, and he
• 4:02:03
  Speaker 4: begat many sons and daughters, and he begat Coriantum, and
• 4:02:07
  Speaker 4: he anointed Coriantum to reign in his stead. And after
• 4:02:11
  Speaker 4: he had anointed Kriantum to reign in his stead, he
• 4:02:14
  Speaker 4: lived four years, and he saw peace in the land Yea,
• 4:02:17
  Speaker 4: and he even saw the Son of Righteousness, and did
• 4:02:20
  Speaker 4: rejoice and glory in his day. And he died in
• 4:02:22
  Speaker 4: peace and it came to pass that Coriantum did walk
• 4:02:26
  Speaker 4: in the steps of his father, and did build many
• 4:02:29
  Speaker 4: mighty cities, and did administer that which was good unto
• 4:02:32
  Speaker 4: his people in all his days. And it came to
• 4:02:34
  Speaker 4: pass that he had no children even until he was
• 4:02:37
  Speaker 4: exceedingly old. And it came to pass that his wife died,
• 4:02:40
  Speaker 4: being an hundred and two years old. And it came
• 4:02:43
  Speaker 4: to pass that Coriantum took to wife, in his old age,
• 4:02:46
  Speaker 4: a young maid, and begat sons and daughters. Wherefore he
• 4:02:50
  Speaker 4: lived until he was one hundred and forty and two
• 4:02:52
  Speaker 4: years old, and it came to pass that he begat Comb,
• 4:02:56
  Speaker 4: and Combe reigned in his stead, and he reigned forty
• 4:02:59
  Speaker 4: and nine years. He begat Heath, and he also begat
• 4:03:02
  Speaker 4: other sons and daughters. And the people had spread again
• 4:03:05
  Speaker 4: over all the face of the land, and there began
• 4:03:07
  Speaker 4: again to be in exceedingly great wickedness upon the face
• 4:03:10
  Speaker 4: of the land. And Heath began to embrace the secret
• 4:03:13
  Speaker 4: plans again of old to destroy his father. And it
• 4:03:17
  Speaker 4: came to pass that he did dethrone his father, for
• 4:03:19
  Speaker 4: he slew him with his own sword, and he did
• 4:03:22
  Speaker 4: reign in his stead, and there came prophets in the
• 4:03:25
  Speaker 4: land again crying repentance, unto them, that they must prepare
• 4:03:28
  Speaker 4: the way of the Lord, or there should come a
• 4:03:30
  Speaker 4: curse upon the face of the land. Yea, even there
• 4:03:32
  Speaker 4: should be a great famine in which they should be
• 4:03:35
  Speaker 4: destroyed if they did not repent. But the people believed
• 4:03:38
  Speaker 4: not the words of the prophets, and they cast them out,
• 4:03:41
  Speaker 4: and some of them they cast into pits and left
• 4:03:43
  Speaker 4: them to perish. And it came to pass that they
• 4:03:46
  Speaker 4: did all these things according to the commandment of the
• 4:03:48
  Speaker 4: King Heath. And it came to pass that there began
• 4:03:51
  Speaker 4: to be a great dearth upon the land, and the
• 4:03:53
  Speaker 4: inhabitants began to be destroyed exceedingly fast because of the dearth,
• 4:03:57
  Speaker 4: for there was no rain upon the face of the earth.
• 4:04:00
  Speaker 4: And there came forth poisonous serpents also upon the face
• 4:04:03
  Speaker 4: of the land, and did poison many people. And it
• 4:04:06
  Speaker 4: came to pass that their flocks began to flee before
• 4:04:08
  Speaker 4: the poisonous serpents towards the land southward, which was called
• 4:04:12
  Speaker 4: by the Nephites Zarahemla. And it came to pass that
• 4:04:15
  Speaker 4: there were many of them which did perish by the way. Nevertheless,
• 4:04:19
  Speaker 4: there were some which fled into the land southward. And
• 4:04:22
  Speaker 4: it came to pass that the Lord did cause the
• 4:04:24
  Speaker 4: serpents that they should pursue them no more, but that
• 4:04:26
  Speaker 4: they would hedge up the way that the people could
• 4:04:28
  Speaker 4: not pass, that whoso should attempt to pass might fall
• 4:04:31
  Speaker 4: by the poisonous serpents. And it came to pass that
• 4:04:34
  Speaker 4: the people did follow the course of the beasts, and
• 4:04:36
  Speaker 4: did devour the carcasses of them which fell by the way,
• 4:04:39
  Speaker 4: until they had devoured them all. Now, when the people
• 4:04:42
  Speaker 4: saw that they must perish, they began to repent of
• 4:04:45
  Speaker 4: their iniquities and cry unto the Lord. And it came
• 4:04:48
  Speaker 4: to pass that when they had humbled themselves sufficiently before
• 4:04:51
  Speaker 4: the Lord, he did send rain upon the face of
• 4:04:54
  Speaker 4: the earth, and the people began to revive again, and
• 4:04:57
  Speaker 4: there began to be fruit in the north countries and
• 4:04:59
  Speaker 4: in all countries roundabout. And the Lord did show forth
• 4:05:02
  Speaker 4: his power unto them in preserving them from famine. End
• 4:05:09
  Speaker 4: of Ether, Chapters five through nine.
• 4:05:12
  Speaker 1: Ether Chapter ten. And it came to pass that Chez,
• 4:05:16
  Speaker 1: who was a descendant of Hath, for Heth, had perished
• 4:05:19
  Speaker 1: by the famine, and all his household, save it were Chez.
• 4:05:23
  Speaker 1: Wherefore Chaz began to build up again a broken people.
• 4:05:27
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that Chez did remember the
• 4:05:30
  Speaker 1: destruction of his fathers, and he did build up a
• 4:05:32
  Speaker 1: righteous kingdom, for he remembered what the Lord had done
• 4:05:36
  Speaker 1: in bringing Jared and his brother across the deep. And
• 4:05:39
  Speaker 1: he did walk in the ways of the Lord. And
• 4:05:41
  Speaker 1: he begat sons and daughters, and his eldest son, whose
• 4:05:45
  Speaker 1: name was Chez, did rebel against him. Nevertheless, Chez was
• 4:05:50
  Speaker 1: smitten by the hand of a robber because of his
• 4:05:52
  Speaker 1: exceeding riches, which brought peace again unto his father. And
• 4:05:56
  Speaker 1: it came to pass that his father did build up
• 4:05:58
  Speaker 1: many cities upon the face of the land, and the
• 4:06:01
  Speaker 1: people began again to spread over all the face of
• 4:06:03
  Speaker 1: the land. And Chez did live to an exceedingly old age,
• 4:06:07
  Speaker 1: and he begat Ripleykish, and he died, and Ripleykish reigned
• 4:06:12
  Speaker 1: in his stead. And it came to pass that Ripleykish
• 4:06:14
  Speaker 1: did not do that which was right in the sight
• 4:06:17
  Speaker 1: of the Lord, for he did have many wives and concubines,
• 4:06:20
  Speaker 1: and did lay that upon men's shoulders, which was grievous
• 4:06:23
  Speaker 1: to be borne. Yea, he did tax them with heavy taxes.
• 4:06:27
  Speaker 1: And with the taxes he did build many spacious buildings,
• 4:06:31
  Speaker 1: and he did erect him an exceedingly beautiful throne. And
• 4:06:35
  Speaker 1: he did build many prisons. And whoso would not be
• 4:06:38
  Speaker 1: subject unto taxes, he did cast into prison, and whoso
• 4:06:41
  Speaker 1: was not able to pay taxes, he did cast into prison.
• 4:06:44
  Speaker 1: And he did cause that they should labor continually for
• 4:06:47
  Speaker 1: their support. And whoso refused to labor, he did cause
• 4:06:51
  Speaker 1: to be put to death. Wherefore he did obtain all
• 4:06:54
  Speaker 1: his fine work yea, even his fine gold, he did
• 4:06:57
  Speaker 1: cause to be refined in prison, and all manner of
• 4:07:00
  Speaker 1: fine workmanship he did cause to be wrought in prison.
• 4:07:03
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that he did afflict the
• 4:07:05
  Speaker 1: people with his hortems and abominations. And when he had
• 4:07:09
  Speaker 1: reigned for the space of forty and two years, the
• 4:07:12
  Speaker 1: people did rise up in rebellion against him, and there
• 4:07:15
  Speaker 1: began to be war again in the land, insomuch that
• 4:07:18
  Speaker 1: ripley Kish was killed, and his descendants were driven out
• 4:07:22
  Speaker 1: of the land. And it came to pass after the
• 4:07:25
  Speaker 1: space of many years. Morianton, he being a descendant of
• 4:07:28
  Speaker 1: ripley Kish, gathered together an army of outcasts, and went
• 4:07:33
  Speaker 1: forth and gave battle unto the people, and he gained
• 4:07:35
  Speaker 1: power over many cities, and the war became exceedingly sore,
• 4:07:39
  Speaker 1: and did last for the space of many years. And
• 4:07:42
  Speaker 1: he did gain power over all the land, and did
• 4:07:45
  Speaker 1: establish himself king over all the land. And after that
• 4:07:49
  Speaker 1: he had established himself king, he did ease the burden
• 4:07:52
  Speaker 1: of the people, by which he did gain favor in
• 4:07:54
  Speaker 1: the eyes of the people, and they did anoint him
• 4:07:57
  Speaker 1: to be their king. And he did do justice unto
• 4:08:00
  Speaker 1: the people, but not unto himself, because of his many hortems,
• 4:08:04
  Speaker 1: wherefore he was cut off from the presence of the lord.
• 4:08:08
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that Moriantin built up many cities,
• 4:08:11
  Speaker 1: and the people became exceedingly rich under his reign, both
• 4:08:15
  Speaker 1: in buildings and in gold and silver, and in raising grain,
• 4:08:18
  Speaker 1: and in flocks and herds, and such things which had
• 4:08:22
  Speaker 1: been restored unto them. And Mariantin did live to an
• 4:08:26
  Speaker 1: exceedingly great age. And then he begat Kim, and Kim
• 4:08:30
  Speaker 1: did reign in the stead of his father, and he
• 4:08:32
  Speaker 1: did reign eight years, and his father died, and it
• 4:08:36
  Speaker 1: came to pass that Kim did not reign in righteousness,
• 4:08:39
  Speaker 1: wherefore he was not favored of the Lord. And his
• 4:08:42
  Speaker 1: brother did rise up in rebellion against him, by which
• 4:08:45
  Speaker 1: he did bring him into captivity. And he did remain
• 4:08:49
  Speaker 1: in captivity all his days, and he begat sons and
• 4:08:52
  Speaker 1: daughters in captivity, And in his old age he begat Levi,
• 4:08:56
  Speaker 1: and he died. And it came to pass that Levi
• 4:08:59
  Speaker 1: did serve in captivity after the death of his father,
• 4:09:02
  Speaker 1: for the space of forty and two years, and he
• 4:09:05
  Speaker 1: did make war against the king of the land, by
• 4:09:08
  Speaker 1: which he did obtain unto himself the kingdom. And after
• 4:09:11
  Speaker 1: he had obtained unto himself the kingdom, he did that
• 4:09:14
  Speaker 1: which was right in the side of the Lord. And
• 4:09:17
  Speaker 1: the people did prosper in the land. And he did
• 4:09:19
  Speaker 1: live to a good old age and begat sons and daughters.
• 4:09:23
  Speaker 1: And he also begat Korum, whom he anointed king in
• 4:09:26
  Speaker 1: his stead. And it came to pass that Koram did
• 4:09:29
  Speaker 1: that which was good in the sight of the Lord
• 4:09:31
  Speaker 1: all his days, and he begat many sons and daughters.
• 4:09:35
  Speaker 1: And after he had seen many days, he did pass away,
• 4:09:38
  Speaker 1: even like unto the rest of the earth, and Kish
• 4:09:41
  Speaker 1: reigned in his dead, And it came to pass that
• 4:09:44
  Speaker 1: Kish passed away also, and Lib reigned in his stead.
• 4:09:48
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that Lib also did that
• 4:09:50
  Speaker 1: which was good in the sight of the Lord. And
• 4:09:52
  Speaker 1: in the days of Lib, the poisonous serpents were destroyed.
• 4:09:56
  Speaker 1: Wherefore they did go into the land southward to hunt
• 4:09:59
  Speaker 1: food for the people the land, for the land was
• 4:10:02
  Speaker 1: covered with animals of the forest. And Lib also himself
• 4:10:05
  Speaker 1: became a great hunter. And they built a great city
• 4:10:09
  Speaker 1: by the narrow neck of land, by the place where
• 4:10:11
  Speaker 1: the sea divides the land. And they did preserve the
• 4:10:14
  Speaker 1: land southward for a wilderness to get game. And the
• 4:10:18
  Speaker 1: whole face of the land northward was covered with inhabitants.
• 4:10:21
  Speaker 1: And they were exceedingly industrious. And they did buy and
• 4:10:25
  Speaker 1: sell and traffic one with another that they might get gain.
• 4:10:28
  Speaker 1: And they did work in all manner of ore, and
• 4:10:31
  Speaker 1: they did make gold and silver, and iron and brass,
• 4:10:34
  Speaker 1: and all manner of metals, and they did dig it
• 4:10:37
  Speaker 1: out of the earth. Wherefore they did cast up mighty
• 4:10:40
  Speaker 1: heaps of earth to get ore of gold and of silver,
• 4:10:43
  Speaker 1: and of iron and of copper. And they did work
• 4:10:47
  Speaker 1: all manner of fine work, and they did have silks
• 4:10:50
  Speaker 1: and fine twined linen. And they did work all manner
• 4:10:54
  Speaker 1: of cloth, that they might clothe themselves from their nakedness.
• 4:10:57
  Speaker 1: And they did make all manner of tools till the earth,
• 4:11:01
  Speaker 1: both to plow and to sow, to reap and to hoe,
• 4:11:04
  Speaker 1: and also to thrash. And they did make all manner
• 4:11:07
  Speaker 1: of tools with which they did work their beasts. And
• 4:11:10
  Speaker 1: they did make all manner of weapons of war, and
• 4:11:13
  Speaker 1: they did work all manner of work, of exceedingly curious workmanship.
• 4:11:17
  Speaker 1: And never could be a people more blessed than were they,
• 4:11:20
  Speaker 1: and more prospered by the hand of the Lord. And
• 4:11:23
  Speaker 1: they were in a land that was choice above all lands,
• 4:11:26
  Speaker 1: for the Lord had spoken it. And it came to
• 4:11:29
  Speaker 1: pass that lib did live many years and begat sons
• 4:11:32
  Speaker 1: and daughters, and he also begat he Artham. And it
• 4:11:37
  Speaker 1: came to pass that here Artham reigned in the stead
• 4:11:39
  Speaker 1: of his father. And when h Artham had reigned twenty
• 4:11:42
  Speaker 1: and four years, behold the kingdom was taken away from him.
• 4:11:45
  Speaker 1: And he served many years in captivity, yea, even all
• 4:11:49
  Speaker 1: the remainder of his days. And he begat Heth, and
• 4:11:52
  Speaker 1: heth lived in captivity all his days, and heth begat Erran,
• 4:11:57
  Speaker 1: and Errin dwelt in captivity all his day, and he
• 4:12:01
  Speaker 1: begat Amnagada, and Amnagada also dwelt in captivity all his days.
• 4:12:05
  Speaker 1: And he begat Koreantum, and Koreantum dwelt in captivity all
• 4:12:10
  Speaker 1: his days, and he begat Comb. And it came to
• 4:12:13
  Speaker 1: pass that Comb drew away the half of the kingdom,
• 4:12:16
  Speaker 1: and he reigned over the half of the kingdom forty
• 4:12:19
  Speaker 1: and two years. And he went to battle against the
• 4:12:22
  Speaker 1: king Amgd. And they fought for the space of many years,
• 4:12:26
  Speaker 1: during which time Comb gained power over Amgd and obtained
• 4:12:31
  Speaker 1: power over the remainder of the kingdom. And in the
• 4:12:34
  Speaker 1: days of Comb, there began to be robbers in the land,
• 4:12:37
  Speaker 1: and they adopted the old plans and administered oaths after
• 4:12:41
  Speaker 1: the manner of the ancients, and sought again to destroy
• 4:12:45
  Speaker 1: the kingdom. Now Comb did fight against them much, nevertheless,
• 4:12:50
  Speaker 1: he did not prevail against them ether Chapter eleven. And
• 4:12:56
  Speaker 1: there came also in the days of Combe, many prophets
• 4:12:58
  Speaker 1: and prophesied of the days destruction of that great people,
• 4:13:01
  Speaker 1: except they should repent and turn unto the Lord and
• 4:13:04
  Speaker 1: forsake their murders in wickedness. And it came to pass
• 4:13:07
  Speaker 1: that the prophets were rejected by the people, and they
• 4:13:10
  Speaker 1: fled unto Comb for protection, for the people sought to
• 4:13:13
  Speaker 1: destroy them. And they prophesied unto Comb many things. And
• 4:13:17
  Speaker 1: he was blessed in all the remainder of his days,
• 4:13:20
  Speaker 1: and he lived to a good old age and begat Shiblam.
• 4:13:24
  Speaker 1: And Shiblam reigned in his stead, and the brother of
• 4:13:27
  Speaker 1: Shiblam rebelled against him, and there began to be an
• 4:13:31
  Speaker 1: exceedingly great war in all the land. And it came
• 4:13:34
  Speaker 1: to pass that the brother of Shiblam caused that all
• 4:13:37
  Speaker 1: the prophets who prophesied of the destruction of the people
• 4:13:40
  Speaker 1: should be put to death. And there was great calamity
• 4:13:44
  Speaker 1: in all the land, for they had testified that a
• 4:13:47
  Speaker 1: great curse should come upon the land and also upon
• 4:13:50
  Speaker 1: the people, and that there should be a great destruction
• 4:13:53
  Speaker 1: among them, such an one as never had been upon
• 4:13:56
  Speaker 1: the face of the earth, and their bones should become
• 4:13:59
  Speaker 1: as heaps of earth upon the face of the land,
• 4:14:01
  Speaker 1: except they should repent of their wickedness. And they hearkened
• 4:14:05
  Speaker 1: not unto the voice of the Lord because of their
• 4:14:08
  Speaker 1: wicked combinations. Wherefore there began to be wars and contentions
• 4:14:12
  Speaker 1: in all the land, and also many famines and pestilences,
• 4:14:16
  Speaker 1: insomuch that there was a great destruction, such an one
• 4:14:19
  Speaker 1: as never had been known upon the face of the earth.
• 4:14:23
  Speaker 1: And all this came to pass in the days of Shiblam,
• 4:14:27
  Speaker 1: and the people began to repent of their iniquity, and
• 4:14:30
  Speaker 1: inasmuch as they did, the Lord did have mercy on them.
• 4:14:34
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that Shiblam was slain, and
• 4:14:37
  Speaker 1: Seth was brought into captivity and did dwell in captivity
• 4:14:40
  Speaker 1: all his days. And it came to pass that Aha
• 4:14:43
  Speaker 1: his son, did obtain the kingdom, and he did reign
• 4:14:47
  Speaker 1: over the people all his days, and he did do
• 4:14:49
  Speaker 1: all manner of iniquity in his days, by which he
• 4:14:52
  Speaker 1: did cause the shedding of much blood. And few were
• 4:14:55
  Speaker 1: his days. And Etham, being a descendant of Aha, did
• 4:14:58
  Speaker 1: obtain the kingdom, and he he also did do that
• 4:15:01
  Speaker 1: which was wicked in his days. And it came to
• 4:15:04
  Speaker 1: pass that in the days of Ethim there came many
• 4:15:08
  Speaker 1: prophets and prophesied again unto the people. Yea, they did
• 4:15:11
  Speaker 1: prophesy that the Lord would utterly destroy them from off
• 4:15:14
  Speaker 1: the face of the earth, except they repented of their iniquities.
• 4:15:18
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that the people hardened their
• 4:15:20
  Speaker 1: hearts and would not hearken unto their words. And the
• 4:15:24
  Speaker 1: prophets mourned and withdrew from among the people. And it
• 4:15:28
  Speaker 1: came to pass that Ethan did execute judgment and wickedness
• 4:15:31
  Speaker 1: all his days, and he begat Morun. And it came
• 4:15:34
  Speaker 1: to pass that Morn did reign in his stead, and
• 4:15:36
  Speaker 1: Morun did that which was wicked before the Lord. And
• 4:15:39
  Speaker 1: it came to pass that there arose a rebellion among
• 4:15:41
  Speaker 1: the people because of that secret combination which was built
• 4:15:44
  Speaker 1: up to get power and gain. And there arose a
• 4:15:47
  Speaker 1: mighty man among them in iniquity, and gave battle unto
• 4:15:49
  Speaker 1: Morn in the which he did overthrow the half of
• 4:15:52
  Speaker 1: the kingdom, and he did maintain the half of the
• 4:15:55
  Speaker 1: kingdom for many years. And it came to pass that
• 4:15:58
  Speaker 1: Morn did overthrow him and did obtain the kingdom again.
• 4:16:03
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that there arose another mighty man,
• 4:16:06
  Speaker 1: and he was a descendant of the brother of Jared,
• 4:16:08
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that he did overthrow Morn
• 4:16:11
  Speaker 1: and obtained the kingdom. Wherefore Morn dwelt in captivity all
• 4:16:15
  Speaker 1: the remainder of his days, and he begat Corianter. And
• 4:16:20
  Speaker 1: it came to pass that Corianer dwelt in captivity all
• 4:16:23
  Speaker 1: his days. And in the days of Coriander there also
• 4:16:26
  Speaker 1: came many prophets and prophesied of great and marvelous things,
• 4:16:31
  Speaker 1: and cried repentance unto the people, and except they should repent,
• 4:16:34
  Speaker 1: the Lord God would execute judgment against them, to their
• 4:16:37
  Speaker 1: utter destruction, and that the Lord God would sand or
• 4:16:41
  Speaker 1: bring forth another people to possess the land by his power,
• 4:16:44
  Speaker 1: after the manner by which he brought their fathers. And
• 4:16:48
  Speaker 1: they did reject all the words of the prophets because
• 4:16:50
  Speaker 1: of their secret society and wicked abominations. And it came
• 4:16:55
  Speaker 1: to pass that Corianter begat Ether, and he died, having
• 4:16:59
  Speaker 1: dwelt in keptivity all his days Ether chapter twelve. And
• 4:17:05
  Speaker 1: it came to pass that the days of Ether were
• 4:17:07
  Speaker 1: in the days of Chriantemer, and Coriantemer was king over
• 4:17:10
  Speaker 1: all the land, and Ether was a prophet of the Lord.
• 4:17:14
  Speaker 1: Wherefore Ether came forth in the days of Coriantomer and
• 4:17:17
  Speaker 1: began to prophesy unto the people, for he could not
• 4:17:20
  Speaker 1: be restrained because of the spirit of the Lord which
• 4:17:23
  Speaker 1: was in him. For he did cry from the morning
• 4:17:26
  Speaker 1: even until the going down of the sun, exhorting the
• 4:17:29
  Speaker 1: people to believe in God, unto repentance, lest they should
• 4:17:32
  Speaker 1: be destroyed, saying unto them that by faith all things
• 4:17:36
  Speaker 1: are fulfilled. Wherefore whoso believeth in God might with surety
• 4:17:41
  Speaker 1: hope for a better world. Yea even a place at
• 4:17:44
  Speaker 1: the right hand of God, which hope cometh of faith
• 4:17:48
  Speaker 1: maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which would
• 4:17:51
  Speaker 1: make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works,
• 4:17:55
  Speaker 1: being led to glorify God. And it came to pass
• 4:17:59
  Speaker 1: that Ether did prophesied great and marvelous things unto the people,
• 4:18:03
  Speaker 1: which they did not believe, because they saw them not.
• 4:18:07
  Speaker 1: And now I, Marona, would speak somewhat concerning these things.
• 4:18:11
  Speaker 1: I would show unto the world that faith is things
• 4:18:14
  Speaker 1: which are hoped for and not seen. Wherefore, dispute not
• 4:18:18
  Speaker 1: because ye see not, for ye received no witness until
• 4:18:21
  Speaker 1: after the trial of your faith. For it was by
• 4:18:25
  Speaker 1: faith that Christ showed himself unto our fathers. After he
• 4:18:28
  Speaker 1: had risen from the dead, and he showed not himself
• 4:18:32
  Speaker 1: unto them until after they had faith in him. Wherefore
• 4:18:35
  Speaker 1: it must needs be that some had faith in him,
• 4:18:38
  Speaker 1: for he showed himself not unto the world, but because
• 4:18:41
  Speaker 1: of the faith of men. He has shown himself unto
• 4:18:44
  Speaker 1: the world, and glorified the name of the Father, and
• 4:18:47
  Speaker 1: prepared a way that thereby others might be partakers of
• 4:18:50
  Speaker 1: the heavenly gift, that they might hope for those things
• 4:18:54
  Speaker 1: which they have not seen. Wherefore ye may also have
• 4:18:58
  Speaker 1: hope and be partakers of the gift, if ye will
• 4:19:01
  Speaker 1: but have faith. Behold, it was by faith that they
• 4:19:04
  Speaker 1: of old were called after the holy order of God.
• 4:19:08
  Speaker 1: Wherefore by faith was the law of Moses given. But
• 4:19:11
  Speaker 1: in the gift of his son hath God prepared a
• 4:19:14
  Speaker 1: more excellent way. And it is by faith that it
• 4:19:18
  Speaker 1: hath been fulfilled. For if there be no faith among
• 4:19:22
  Speaker 1: the children of men, God can do no miracle among them.
• 4:19:25
  Speaker 1: Wherefore he showed naught himself until after their faith. Behold,
• 4:19:30
  Speaker 1: it was the faith of Alma and Amulek that caused
• 4:19:32
  Speaker 1: the prison to tumble to the earth. Behold, it was
• 4:19:36
  Speaker 1: the faith of Nephi and Lehi that wrought the change
• 4:19:39
  Speaker 1: upon the Lamanites, that they were baptized with fire and
• 4:19:41
  Speaker 1: with the Holy Ghost. Behold, it was the faith of
• 4:19:45
  Speaker 1: Ammon and his brethren which brought so great a miracle
• 4:19:48
  Speaker 1: among the Lamanites. Yea, and even all they who wrought
• 4:19:52
  Speaker 1: miracles wrought them by faith, even those who were before Christ,
• 4:19:57
  Speaker 1: and also those who were after. And it was by
• 4:20:00
  Speaker 1: faith that the three disciples obtained a promise that they
• 4:20:03
  Speaker 1: should not taste of death. And they obtained not the
• 4:20:06
  Speaker 1: promise until after their faith. And neither at any time
• 4:20:10
  Speaker 1: hath any wrought miracles until after their faith. Wherefore they
• 4:20:16
  Speaker 1: first believed in the Son of God. And there were
• 4:20:20
  Speaker 1: many whose faith was so exceedingly strong even before Christ came,
• 4:20:24
  Speaker 1: who could not be kept from within the veil, but
• 4:20:27
  Speaker 1: truly saw with their eyes the things which they had
• 4:20:30
  Speaker 1: beheld with an eye of faith, and they were glad.
• 4:20:34
  Speaker 1: And behold, we have seen in this record that one
• 4:20:37
  Speaker 1: of these was the brother of Jared. For so great
• 4:20:40
  Speaker 1: was his faith in God, that when God put forth
• 4:20:42
  Speaker 1: his finger, he could not hide it from the sight
• 4:20:45
  Speaker 1: of the brother of Jared, because of his word which
• 4:20:48
  Speaker 1: he had spoken unto him, which word he had obtained
• 4:20:50
  Speaker 1: by faith. And after the brother of Jared had beheld
• 4:20:54
  Speaker 1: the finger of the Lord, because of the promise which
• 4:20:57
  Speaker 1: the brother of Jared had obtained by faith, the Lord
• 4:21:00
  Speaker 1: word could not withhold anything from his sight. Therefore he
• 4:21:03
  Speaker 1: showed him all things, for he could no longer be
• 4:21:07
  Speaker 1: kept without the veil. And it is by faith that
• 4:21:10
  Speaker 1: my fathers have obtained the promise that these things should
• 4:21:13
  Speaker 1: come unto their brethren through the gentiles. Therefore the Lord
• 4:21:17
  Speaker 1: hath commanded me, yea, even Jesus Christ, And I said,
• 4:21:22
  Speaker 1: unto him, Lord, the gentiles will mock at these things
• 4:21:26
  Speaker 1: because of our weakness in writing. For Lord, thou hast
• 4:21:30
  Speaker 1: made us mighty in word by faith. But thou hast
• 4:21:32
  Speaker 1: not made us mighty in writing. For thou hast made
• 4:21:35
  Speaker 1: all this people that they could speak much because of
• 4:21:38
  Speaker 1: the holy ghost which thou hast given them, And thou
• 4:21:41
  Speaker 1: hast made us that we could write but little because
• 4:21:44
  Speaker 1: of the awkwardness of our hands. Behold, thou hast not
• 4:21:48
  Speaker 1: made us mighty in writing, like unto the brother of Jared.
• 4:21:51
  Speaker 1: For thou madest him that the things which he wrote
• 4:21:53
  Speaker 1: were mighty, even as thou art unto the overpowering of
• 4:21:57
  Speaker 1: man to read them also made our words powerful and great,
• 4:22:02
  Speaker 1: even that we cannot write them. Wherefore, when we write,
• 4:22:06
  Speaker 1: we behold our weakness and stumble because of the placing
• 4:22:10
  Speaker 1: of our words. And I fear lest the gentiles shall
• 4:22:13
  Speaker 1: mock at our words. And when I had said this,
• 4:22:16
  Speaker 1: the Lord spake unto me, saying, fools mock, but they
• 4:22:20
  Speaker 1: shall mourn. And my grace is sufficient for the meek,
• 4:22:24
  Speaker 1: that they shall take no advantage of your weakness. And
• 4:22:27
  Speaker 1: if men come unto me, I will show unto them
• 4:22:30
  Speaker 1: their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may
• 4:22:34
  Speaker 1: be humble. And my grace is sufficient for all men
• 4:22:38
  Speaker 1: that humble themselves before me. For if they humble themselves
• 4:22:43
  Speaker 1: before me and have faith in me, then will I
• 4:22:46
  Speaker 1: make weak things become strong unto them. Behold, I will
• 4:22:50
  Speaker 1: show unto the gentiles their weakness, and I will show
• 4:22:52
  Speaker 1: unto them that faith, hope, and charity bringeth unto me
• 4:22:57
  Speaker 1: the fountain of all righteousness. And I maron. I, having
• 4:23:01
  Speaker 1: heard these words, was comforted, and said, O, Lord, thy
• 4:23:05
  Speaker 1: righteous will be done, for I know that thou workest
• 4:23:08
  Speaker 1: unto the children of men according to their faith. For
• 4:23:11
  Speaker 1: the brother of Jared said, unto the mountain Zarin, remove,
• 4:23:15
  Speaker 1: and it was removed. And if he had not had faith,
• 4:23:19
  Speaker 1: it would not have moved. Wherefore thou workest after men
• 4:23:22
  Speaker 1: have faith. For thus didst thou manifest thyself unto thy disciples,
• 4:23:27
  Speaker 1: For after they had faith and did speak in thy name,
• 4:23:31
  Speaker 1: Thou didst show thyself unto them in great power. And
• 4:23:35
  Speaker 1: I also remember that thou hast said that thou hast
• 4:23:37
  Speaker 1: prepared a house for man, yea even among the mansions
• 4:23:41
  Speaker 1: of my father, in which man might have a more
• 4:23:45
  Speaker 1: excellent hope. Wherefore man must hope or he cannot receive
• 4:23:49
  Speaker 1: an inheritance in the place which thou hast prepared. And
• 4:23:53
  Speaker 1: again I remember that thou hast said that thou hast
• 4:23:55
  Speaker 1: loved the world even unto the lane down of thy life,
• 4:23:59
  Speaker 1: for the world, that thou mightst take it again to
• 4:24:02
  Speaker 1: prepare a place for the children of men. And now
• 4:24:05
  Speaker 1: I know that this love which thou hast had for
• 4:24:08
  Speaker 1: the children of men is charity. Wherefore, except men shall
• 4:24:11
  Speaker 1: have charity, they cannot inherit that place which thou hast
• 4:24:14
  Speaker 1: prepared in the mansions of thy Father. Wherefore I know
• 4:24:18
  Speaker 1: by this thing which thou hast said, that if the
• 4:24:20
  Speaker 1: gentiles have not charity because of our weakness, that thou
• 4:24:24
  Speaker 1: wilt prove them and take away their talent yea, even
• 4:24:28
  Speaker 1: that which they have received, and give unto them who
• 4:24:31
  Speaker 1: shall have more abundantly. And it came to pass that
• 4:24:34
  Speaker 1: I prayed unto the Lord that he would give unto
• 4:24:37
  Speaker 1: the gentiles grace that they might have charity. And it
• 4:24:41
  Speaker 1: came to pass that the Lord said, unto me, if
• 4:24:44
  Speaker 1: they have not charity, it mattereth not unto thee thou
• 4:24:48
  Speaker 1: hast been faithful. Wherefore thy garments shall be made clean.
• 4:24:53
  Speaker 1: And because thou hast seen thy weakness, thou shalt be
• 4:24:56
  Speaker 1: made strong, even unto the sitting down in the place
• 4:25:00
  Speaker 1: which I have prepared in the mansions of my father.
• 4:25:03
  Speaker 1: And now I Marona, I bid farewell unto the gentiles yea,
• 4:25:07
  Speaker 1: and also unto my brethren, whom I love, until we
• 4:25:10
  Speaker 1: shall meet before the judgment seat of Christ, where all
• 4:25:13
  Speaker 1: men shall know that my garments are not spotted with
• 4:25:16
  Speaker 1: your blood. And then shall we know that I have
• 4:25:20
  Speaker 1: seen Jesus, and that he hath talked with me face
• 4:25:24
  Speaker 1: to face, and that he told me in plain humility,
• 4:25:28
  Speaker 1: even as a man telleth another in mine own language
• 4:25:31
  Speaker 1: concerning these things. And only a few have I written
• 4:25:34
  Speaker 1: because of my weakness in writing. And now I would
• 4:25:38
  Speaker 1: commend you to seek this Jesus, of whom the prophets
• 4:25:41
  Speaker 1: and apostles have written, that the grace of God the Father,
• 4:25:44
  Speaker 1: and also the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost
• 4:25:47
  Speaker 1: which beareth record of them, may be in abiding you forever, Amen,
• 4:25:55
  Speaker 1: Ether Chapter thirteen. And now I am Marona, I proceed
• 4:25:59
  Speaker 1: to finish my record concerning the destruction of the people
• 4:26:02
  Speaker 1: of whom I have been writing. For Behold, they rejected
• 4:26:06
  Speaker 1: all the words of Ether, for he truly told them
• 4:26:09
  Speaker 1: of all things from the beginning of man, and that
• 4:26:12
  Speaker 1: after the waters had receded from off the face of
• 4:26:14
  Speaker 1: this land, it became a choice land above all other lands,
• 4:26:18
  Speaker 1: a chosen land of the Lord. Wherefore the Lord would
• 4:26:21
  Speaker 1: have that all men should serve him who dwell upon
• 4:26:23
  Speaker 1: the face thereof, and that it was the place of
• 4:26:26
  Speaker 1: the New Jerusalem which should come down out of Heaven
• 4:26:29
  Speaker 1: and the holy sanctuary of the Lord. Behold, Ether saw
• 4:26:34
  Speaker 1: the days of Christ, and he spake concerning a new
• 4:26:36
  Speaker 1: Jerusalem upon this land and he spake also concerning the
• 4:26:40
  Speaker 1: House of Israel and the Jerusalem from whence Lehigh should come.
• 4:26:45
  Speaker 1: After it should be destroyed, it should be built up
• 4:26:48
  Speaker 1: again a holy city unto the Lord. Wherefore it could
• 4:26:51
  Speaker 1: not be a new Jerusalem, for it had been in
• 4:26:54
  Speaker 1: a time of old. But it should be built up
• 4:26:56
  Speaker 1: again and become a holy city of the Lord. And
• 4:26:59
  Speaker 1: it should be built unto the House of Israel. And
• 4:27:03
  Speaker 1: that a new Jerusalem should be built upon this land
• 4:27:06
  Speaker 1: unto the remnant of the Seed of Joseph, for which
• 4:27:09
  Speaker 1: things there has been a type. For as Joseph brought
• 4:27:14
  Speaker 1: his father down into the land of Egypt, even so
• 4:27:17
  Speaker 1: he died there. Wherefore the Lord brought a remnant of
• 4:27:21
  Speaker 1: the seed of Joseph out of the land of Jerusalem,
• 4:27:24
  Speaker 1: that he might be merciful, and too the seed of Joseph,
• 4:27:27
  Speaker 1: that they should perish, not, even as he was merciful
• 4:27:30
  Speaker 1: unto the father of Joseph, that he should perish not.
• 4:27:34
  Speaker 1: Wherefore the remnant of the House of Joseph shall be
• 4:27:36
  Speaker 1: built upon this land, and it shall be a land
• 4:27:39
  Speaker 1: of their inheritance, and they shall build up a holy
• 4:27:42
  Speaker 1: city unto the Lord, like unto the Jerusalem of old,
• 4:27:46
  Speaker 1: and they shall no more be confounded until the end come,
• 4:27:49
  Speaker 1: when the earth shall pass away, and there shall be
• 4:27:53
  Speaker 1: a new Heaven and a new Earth, and they shall
• 4:27:56
  Speaker 1: be like unto the old, save the old have passed away,
• 4:27:59
  Speaker 1: and all things have become new. And then cometh the
• 4:28:02
  Speaker 1: New Jerusalem. And blest are they who dwell therein, For
• 4:28:06
  Speaker 1: it is they whose garments are white through the blood
• 4:28:09
  Speaker 1: of the Lamb. And they are they who are numbered
• 4:28:12
  Speaker 1: among the remnant of the Seat of Joseph, who were
• 4:28:15
  Speaker 1: of the House of Israel. And then also cometh the
• 4:28:18
  Speaker 1: Jerusalem of old, and the inhabitants thereof blest are they,
• 4:28:22
  Speaker 1: for they have been washed in the blood of the Lamb.
• 4:28:25
  Speaker 1: And they are they who were scattered and gathered in
• 4:28:27
  Speaker 1: from the four quarters of the earth and from the
• 4:28:30
  Speaker 1: north countries, and are partakers of the fulfilling of the
• 4:28:33
  Speaker 1: covenant which God made with their father Abraham. And when
• 4:28:37
  Speaker 1: these things come, bringeth to pass the scripture which saith.
• 4:28:40
  Speaker 1: There are they who were first, who shall be last.
• 4:28:43
  Speaker 1: And there are they who were last, who shall be first.
• 4:28:47
  Speaker 1: And I was about to write more, but I am forbidden.
• 4:28:51
  Speaker 1: But great and marvelous were the prophecies of ether. But
• 4:28:55
  Speaker 1: they esteemed him as not and cast him out. And
• 4:28:58
  Speaker 1: he hid himself in the cavity of a rock by day,
• 4:29:01
  Speaker 1: and by night he went forth, viewing the things which
• 4:29:03
  Speaker 1: should come upon the people. And as he dwelt in
• 4:29:06
  Speaker 1: the cavity of a rock, he made the remainder of
• 4:29:08
  Speaker 1: his record, viewing the destructions which came upon the people
• 4:29:12
  Speaker 1: by night. And it came to pass that in that
• 4:29:15
  Speaker 1: same year in which he was cast out from among
• 4:29:17
  Speaker 1: the people, there began to be a great war among
• 4:29:20
  Speaker 1: the people. For there were many who rose up, who
• 4:29:23
  Speaker 1: were mighty men, and sought to destroy Koreantomer by their
• 4:29:26
  Speaker 1: secret plans of wickedness, of which hath been spoken. And
• 4:29:31
  Speaker 1: now Koreantomer, having studied himself in all the arts of
• 4:29:34
  Speaker 1: war and all the cunning of the world, wherefore he
• 4:29:38
  Speaker 1: gave battle unto them who sought to destroy him. But
• 4:29:41
  Speaker 1: he repented not neither his fair sons nor daughters, neither
• 4:29:46
  Speaker 1: the fair sons and daughters of Kohor, neither the fair
• 4:29:50
  Speaker 1: sons and daughters of Korihor. And in fine there were
• 4:29:54
  Speaker 1: none of the fair sons and daughters upon the face
• 4:29:56
  Speaker 1: of the whole earth. Who repented of their sins. Wherefore
• 4:29:59
  Speaker 1: it came to pass that in the first year that
• 4:30:02
  Speaker 1: Ether dwelt in the cavity of a rock, there were
• 4:30:05
  Speaker 1: many people who were slain by the sword of those
• 4:30:08
  Speaker 1: secret combinations fighting against Coriantomer, that they might obtain the kingdom.
• 4:30:13
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that the sons of Coriantomer
• 4:30:16
  Speaker 1: fought much and bled much. And in the second year
• 4:30:20
  Speaker 1: the word of the Lord came to Ether that he
• 4:30:21
  Speaker 1: should go and prophesy unto Coriantomer, that if he would
• 4:30:25
  Speaker 1: repent and all his household, the Lord would give unto
• 4:30:28
  Speaker 1: him his kingdom and spare the people. Otherwise they should
• 4:30:33
  Speaker 1: be destroyed, and all his household save it were himself,
• 4:30:37
  Speaker 1: and he should only live to see the fulfilling of
• 4:30:40
  Speaker 1: the prophecies which had been spoken concerning another people receiving
• 4:30:43
  Speaker 1: the land for their inheritance, and Coriantomer should receive a
• 4:30:47
  Speaker 1: burial by them, and every soul should be destroyed save
• 4:30:50
  Speaker 1: it were Choriantomer. And it came to pass that Koreantomer
• 4:30:54
  Speaker 1: repented not neither his household, neither the people, and the
• 4:30:59
  Speaker 1: wars ceast not, and they sought to kill Ether, but
• 4:31:03
  Speaker 1: he fled from before them, and hid again in the
• 4:31:05
  Speaker 1: cavity of the rock. And it came to pass that
• 4:31:08
  Speaker 1: there arose up Shard, and he also gave battle into Coriantemer,
• 4:31:12
  Speaker 1: and he did beat him insomuch that in the third
• 4:31:15
  Speaker 1: year he did bring him into captivity. And the son
• 4:31:18
  Speaker 1: of Kriantemer, in the fourth year, did beat Shard and
• 4:31:22
  Speaker 1: did obtain the kingdom again unto their father. Now there
• 4:31:25
  Speaker 1: began to be a war upon all the face of
• 4:31:28
  Speaker 1: the land, every man with his band, fighting for that
• 4:31:30
  Speaker 1: which he desired. And there were robbers and in fine
• 4:31:34
  Speaker 1: all manner of wickedness, upon all the face of the land.
• 4:31:37
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that Coriantimer was exceedingly angry
• 4:31:41
  Speaker 1: with shared, and he went against him with his armies
• 4:31:44
  Speaker 1: to battle. And they did meet in great anger, and
• 4:31:47
  Speaker 1: they did meet in the valley of Gilgal, and the
• 4:31:50
  Speaker 1: battle became exceedingly sore, and it came to pass that
• 4:31:53
  Speaker 1: Shard fought against him for the space of three days.
• 4:31:57
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that Coriantimer beat him and
• 4:32:00
  Speaker 1: did pursue him until he came to the plains of Heshlon,
• 4:32:03
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that Shard gave him battle
• 4:32:05
  Speaker 1: again upon the plains, and behold he did beat Koreantomer
• 4:32:10
  Speaker 1: and drove him back again to the valley of Gilgal,
• 4:32:13
  Speaker 1: and Koreantomer gave shared battle again in the valley of Gilgal,
• 4:32:16
  Speaker 1: in which he beat Shard and slew him, and Shared
• 4:32:20
  Speaker 1: wounded Koreantamer in his thigh, that he did not go
• 4:32:24
  Speaker 1: to battle again for the space of two years, in
• 4:32:27
  Speaker 1: which time all the people upon the face of the
• 4:32:29
  Speaker 1: land were shedding blood, and there was none to restrain them.
• 4:32:35
  Speaker 1: And of Ether chapters ten through thirteen, Ether chapter fourteen.
• 4:32:42
  Speaker 1: And now there began to be a great curse upon
• 4:32:45
  Speaker 1: all the land because of the iniquity of the people,
• 4:32:48
  Speaker 1: in which if a man should lay his tool or
• 4:32:50
  Speaker 1: his sword upon his shelf or upon the place, whether
• 4:32:54
  Speaker 1: he would keep it, behold upon the morrow he could
• 4:32:56
  Speaker 1: not find it. So great was the curse upon the land.
• 4:33:00
  Speaker 1: Wherefore every man did cleave unto that which was his
• 4:33:03
  Speaker 1: own with his hands, and would not borrow, neither would
• 4:33:07
  Speaker 1: he lend. And every man kept the hilt of his
• 4:33:10
  Speaker 1: sword in his right hand in the defense of his
• 4:33:13
  Speaker 1: property and his own life, and of his wives and children.
• 4:33:18
  Speaker 1: And now after the space of two years, and after
• 4:33:20
  Speaker 1: the death of Shared. Behold there arose the brother of Shared,
• 4:33:25
  Speaker 1: and he gave battle unto Kriantemer, in which Coryantmer did
• 4:33:29
  Speaker 1: beat him, and did pursue him to the wilderness of Akish.
• 4:33:33
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that the brother of Shared
• 4:33:35
  Speaker 1: did give battle unto him in the wilderness of Akish,
• 4:33:39
  Speaker 1: and the battle became exceedingly sore, and many thousands fell
• 4:33:43
  Speaker 1: by the sword. And it came to pass that Kriantomer
• 4:33:47
  Speaker 1: did lay siege to the wilderness, and the brother of
• 4:33:49
  Speaker 1: Shared did march forth out of the wilderness by night,
• 4:33:53
  Speaker 1: and slew a part of the army of Coriantomer as
• 4:33:55
  Speaker 1: they were drunken. And he came forth to the land
• 4:33:58
  Speaker 1: of Morn and placed himself upon the throne of Coriantemer.
• 4:34:03
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that Coriantomer dwelt with his
• 4:34:06
  Speaker 1: army in the wilderness for the space of two years,
• 4:34:09
  Speaker 1: in which he did receive great strengths to his army. Now,
• 4:34:13
  Speaker 1: the brother of Sherid, whose name was Gilead, also received
• 4:34:16
  Speaker 1: great strengths to his army because of secret combinations. And
• 4:34:20
  Speaker 1: it came to pass that his high priest murdered him
• 4:34:23
  Speaker 1: as he sat upon his throne and it came to
• 4:34:26
  Speaker 1: pass that one of the secret combinations murdered him in
• 4:34:29
  Speaker 1: a secret pass and obtained unto himself the kingdom. And
• 4:34:33
  Speaker 1: his name was Lib. And Lib was a man of
• 4:34:36
  Speaker 1: great stature, more than any other man among all the people.
• 4:34:40
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that in the first year
• 4:34:42
  Speaker 1: of Lib, Kriantemer came up unto the land of Morn
• 4:34:46
  Speaker 1: and gave battle unto Lib. And it came to pass
• 4:34:49
  Speaker 1: that he fought with Lib, in which Lib did smite
• 4:34:52
  Speaker 1: upon his arm, that he was wounded. Nevertheless, the army
• 4:34:56
  Speaker 1: of Kriantomer did press forward upon Lib, that he fled
• 4:34:59
  Speaker 1: to the borders upon the seashore, and it came to
• 4:35:03
  Speaker 1: pass that Koreantmer pursued him, and Lib gave battle unto
• 4:35:06
  Speaker 1: him upon the sea shore. And it came to pass
• 4:35:10
  Speaker 1: that Lib did smite the army of Koorantomer, that they
• 4:35:13
  Speaker 1: fled again to the wilderness of Akish, And it came
• 4:35:16
  Speaker 1: to pass that Lib did pursue him until he came
• 4:35:19
  Speaker 1: to the plains of Agosh, and Koorantemer had taken all
• 4:35:23
  Speaker 1: the people with him as he fled before Lib in
• 4:35:25
  Speaker 1: that quarter of the land whither he fled and when
• 4:35:29
  Speaker 1: he had come to the plains of Agosh, he gave
• 4:35:32
  Speaker 1: battle unto Lib, and he smote upon him until he died. Nevertheless,
• 4:35:37
  Speaker 1: the brother of Lib did come against Koorantomer in the
• 4:35:40
  Speaker 1: stead thereof, and the battle became exceedingly sore, in the
• 4:35:44
  Speaker 1: which Koorantomer fled again before the army of the brother
• 4:35:47
  Speaker 1: of Lib. Now the name of the brother of Lib
• 4:35:51
  Speaker 1: was called Shiz. And it came to pass that Shiz
• 4:35:55
  Speaker 1: pursued after Koreantomer, and he did overthrow many cities, and
• 4:35:59
  Speaker 1: he did slay both women and children, and he did
• 4:36:02
  Speaker 1: burn the cities. And there went a fear of Shiz
• 4:36:05
  Speaker 1: throughout all the land. Yea, a cry went forth throughout
• 4:36:09
  Speaker 1: the land. Who can stand before the army of Shiz? Behold,
• 4:36:13
  Speaker 1: he sweepeth the earth before him. And it came to
• 4:36:17
  Speaker 1: pass that the people began to flock together in armies
• 4:36:20
  Speaker 1: throughout all the face of the land. And they were divided,
• 4:36:24
  Speaker 1: and a part of them fled to the army of Shiz,
• 4:36:27
  Speaker 1: and a part of them fled to the army of Coriantomer.
• 4:36:31
  Speaker 1: And so great and lasting had been the war, and
• 4:36:34
  Speaker 1: so long had been the scene of bloodshed, and carnage,
• 4:36:37
  Speaker 1: that the whole face of the land was covered with
• 4:36:39
  Speaker 1: the bodies of the dead, and so swift and speedy
• 4:36:43
  Speaker 1: was the war, that there was none left to bury
• 4:36:46
  Speaker 1: the dead. But they did march forth from the shedding
• 4:36:49
  Speaker 1: of blood to the shedding of blood, leaving the bodies
• 4:36:53
  Speaker 1: of both men, women and children strewn upon the face
• 4:36:58
  Speaker 1: of the land, to become a prey to the worms
• 4:37:00
  Speaker 1: of the flesh. And the scent thereof went forth upon
• 4:37:04
  Speaker 1: the face of the land, even upon all the face
• 4:37:07
  Speaker 1: of the land, wherefore the people became troubled by day
• 4:37:11
  Speaker 1: and by night because of the scent thereof. Nevertheless, Shiz
• 4:37:16
  Speaker 1: did not cease to pursue Chriantomer, for he had sworn
• 4:37:20
  Speaker 1: to avenge himself upon Coriantomer of the blood of his
• 4:37:23
  Speaker 1: brother who had been slain, and the word of the
• 4:37:26
  Speaker 1: Lord which came to ether that Coriantomer should not fall
• 4:37:29
  Speaker 1: by the sword. And thus we see that the Lord
• 4:37:32
  Speaker 1: did visit them in the fullness of his wrath, and
• 4:37:35
  Speaker 1: their wickedness and abominations had prepared a way for their
• 4:37:38
  Speaker 1: everlasting destruction. And it came to pass that Shiz did
• 4:37:42
  Speaker 1: pursue Coriantomer eastward even to the borders by the seashore,
• 4:37:46
  Speaker 1: and there he gave battle unto Shis for the space
• 4:37:49
  Speaker 1: of three days. And so terrible was the destruction among
• 4:37:53
  Speaker 1: the armies of Shiz, that the people began to be
• 4:37:56
  Speaker 1: frightened and began to flee before the armies of Korantomer.
• 4:38:00
  Speaker 1: And they fled to the land of Korihor and swept
• 4:38:03
  Speaker 1: off the inhabitants before them, all them that would not
• 4:38:07
  Speaker 1: join them. And they pitched their tents in the valley
• 4:38:10
  Speaker 1: of Korihor, and Korantmer pitched his tents in the valley
• 4:38:14
  Speaker 1: of Cher. Now, the valley of Cher was near the
• 4:38:17
  Speaker 1: hill Comnor, wherefore Koreantmer did gather his armies together upon
• 4:38:22
  Speaker 1: the hill Comnor, and did sound a trumpet unto the
• 4:38:25
  Speaker 1: armies of Shiz, to invite them forth to battle. And
• 4:38:30
  Speaker 1: it came to pass that they came forth, but were
• 4:38:33
  Speaker 1: driven again. And they came the second time, and they
• 4:38:36
  Speaker 1: were driven again the second time, And it came to
• 4:38:39
  Speaker 1: pass that they came again the third time, and the
• 4:38:42
  Speaker 1: battle became exceedingly sore. And it came to pass that
• 4:38:45
  Speaker 1: Shiz smote upon Kriantemer, that he gave him many deep wounds,
• 4:38:49
  Speaker 1: and Koreantamer, having lost his blood, fainted and was carried
• 4:38:53
  Speaker 1: away as though he were dead. Now, the loss of men,
• 4:38:58
  Speaker 1: women and children on both sides was so great that
• 4:39:01
  Speaker 1: Shiz commanded his people that they should not pursue the
• 4:39:04
  Speaker 1: armies of Kriantomer. Wherefore they returned to their camp Ether
• 4:39:12
  Speaker 1: chapter fifteen. And it came to pass when Coriantomer had
• 4:39:16
  Speaker 1: recovered of his wounds, he began to remember the words
• 4:39:19
  Speaker 1: which Ether had spoken unto him. He saw that there
• 4:39:22
  Speaker 1: had been slain by the sword already nearly two millions
• 4:39:26
  Speaker 1: of his people, and he began to sorrow in his heart. Yea,
• 4:39:30
  Speaker 1: there had been slain two millions of the mighty men,
• 4:39:33
  Speaker 1: and also their wives and their children. He began to
• 4:39:37
  Speaker 1: repent of the evil which he had done. He began
• 4:39:40
  Speaker 1: to remember the words which had been spoken by the
• 4:39:43
  Speaker 1: mouth of all the prophets, and he saw them that
• 4:39:46
  Speaker 1: they were fulfilled thus far every whit and his soul
• 4:39:49
  Speaker 1: mourned and refused to be comforted. And it came to
• 4:39:53
  Speaker 1: pass that he wrote an epistle unto Shiz, desiring him
• 4:39:56
  Speaker 1: that he would spare the people, and he would give
• 4:39:59
  Speaker 1: up the kingdom for the sake of the lives of
• 4:40:01
  Speaker 1: the people. And it came to pass that, when Shiz
• 4:40:04
  Speaker 1: had received his epistle, he wrote an epistle unto Koreantemer,
• 4:40:09
  Speaker 1: that if he would give himself up, that he might
• 4:40:12
  Speaker 1: slay him with his own sword, that he would spare
• 4:40:15
  Speaker 1: the lives of the people. And it came to pass
• 4:40:18
  Speaker 1: that the people repented not of their iniquity, and the
• 4:40:21
  Speaker 1: people of Koreantimer were stirred up to anger against the
• 4:40:24
  Speaker 1: people of Shiz, and the people of Shiz were stirred
• 4:40:27
  Speaker 1: up to anger against the people of Koreantemer. Wherefore the
• 4:40:30
  Speaker 1: people of Shiz did give battle unto the people of Koreantomer.
• 4:40:34
  Speaker 1: And when Coriantemer saw that he was about to fall,
• 4:40:37
  Speaker 1: he fled again before the people of Shiz. And it
• 4:40:41
  Speaker 1: came to pass that he came to the waters of Ripliancum,
• 4:40:44
  Speaker 1: which by interpretation is large or to exceed all. Wherefore,
• 4:40:49
  Speaker 1: when he came to these waters, they pitched their tents,
• 4:40:52
  Speaker 1: and Shiz also pitched his tents near unto them. And
• 4:40:56
  Speaker 1: therefore on the morrow they did come to battle, and
• 4:40:59
  Speaker 1: it came to pass that they fought an exceedingly sore battle,
• 4:41:02
  Speaker 1: in which Coriantomer was wounded again, and he fainted with
• 4:41:06
  Speaker 1: the loss of blood. And it came to pass that
• 4:41:09
  Speaker 1: the armies of Kriantomer did press upon the armies of Shiz,
• 4:41:12
  Speaker 1: that they beat them, that they caused them to flee
• 4:41:15
  Speaker 1: before them, And they did flee southward, and did pitch
• 4:41:18
  Speaker 1: their tents in a place which was called Ogath. And
• 4:41:22
  Speaker 1: it came to pass that the army of Koreantemer did
• 4:41:25
  Speaker 1: pitch their tents by the hill Rama. And it was
• 4:41:28
  Speaker 1: that same hill where my father Mormon did hide up
• 4:41:30
  Speaker 1: the records unto the Lord, which were sacred. And it
• 4:41:33
  Speaker 1: came to pass that they did gather together all the
• 4:41:36
  Speaker 1: people upon all the face of the land, who had
• 4:41:38
  Speaker 1: not been slain, save it was Ether. And it came
• 4:41:41
  Speaker 1: to pass that Ether did behold all the doings of
• 4:41:44
  Speaker 1: the people, and he beheld that the people who were
• 4:41:47
  Speaker 1: for Koreantomer were gathered together to the army of Koreantomer,
• 4:41:51
  Speaker 1: and the people who were for Shiz were gathered together
• 4:41:53
  Speaker 1: to the army of Shiz. Wherefore they were for the
• 4:41:57
  Speaker 1: space of four years gathering together the people, that they
• 4:42:00
  Speaker 1: might get all who were upon the face of the land,
• 4:42:03
  Speaker 1: and that they might receive all the strength which it
• 4:42:05
  Speaker 1: was possible that they could receive. And it came to
• 4:42:08
  Speaker 1: pass that when they were all gathered together, every one
• 4:42:11
  Speaker 1: to the army, which he would, with their wives and
• 4:42:14
  Speaker 1: their children, both men, women and children, being armed with
• 4:42:18
  Speaker 1: weapons of war, having shields and breastplates and head plates,
• 4:42:21
  Speaker 1: and being clothed after the manner of war, they did
• 4:42:25
  Speaker 1: march forth, one against another to battle. And they fought
• 4:42:28
  Speaker 1: all that day and conquered not. And it came to
• 4:42:32
  Speaker 1: pass that when it was night, they were weary and
• 4:42:35
  Speaker 1: retired to their camps. And after they had retired to
• 4:42:38
  Speaker 1: their camps, they took up a howling and a lamentation
• 4:42:41
  Speaker 1: for the loss of the slain of their people. And
• 4:42:44
  Speaker 1: so great were their cries, their howlings, and lamentations, that
• 4:42:48
  Speaker 1: they did rend the air exceedingly. And it came to
• 4:42:51
  Speaker 1: pass that on the morrow they did go again to battle,
• 4:42:54
  Speaker 1: and great and terrible was that day. Nevertheless, they conquered not,
• 4:42:59
  Speaker 1: And when the night came again, they did rend the
• 4:43:02
  Speaker 1: air with their cries and their howlings and their mournings
• 4:43:05
  Speaker 1: for the loss of the slain of their people. And
• 4:43:08
  Speaker 1: it came to pass that Coriantumer rode again an epistle
• 4:43:10
  Speaker 1: unto Shiz, desiring that he would not come again to battle,
• 4:43:14
  Speaker 1: but that he would take the kingdom and spare the
• 4:43:16
  Speaker 1: lives of the people. And behold, the spirit of the
• 4:43:19
  Speaker 1: Lord had ceased striving with them, and Satan had full
• 4:43:23
  Speaker 1: power over the hearts of the people. For they were
• 4:43:25
  Speaker 1: given up unto the hardness of their hearts and the
• 4:43:28
  Speaker 1: blindness of their minds, that they might be destroyed. Wherefore
• 4:43:32
  Speaker 1: they went again to battle. And it came to pass
• 4:43:35
  Speaker 1: that they fought all that day, and when the knight came,
• 4:43:38
  Speaker 1: they slept upon their swords, And on the morrow they
• 4:43:41
  Speaker 1: fought even until the night came. And when the knight
• 4:43:44
  Speaker 1: came they were drunken with anger, even as a man
• 4:43:47
  Speaker 1: who was drunken with wine. And they slept again upon
• 4:43:50
  Speaker 1: their swords. And on the morrow they fought again. And
• 4:43:55
  Speaker 1: when the night came, they had all fallen by the sword,
• 4:43:57
  Speaker 1: save it were fifty and two of the people of
• 4:43:59
  Speaker 1: Coriantemer and sixty and nine of the people of Shiz.
• 4:44:04
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that they slept upon their
• 4:44:06
  Speaker 1: swords that night, and on the morrow they fought again.
• 4:44:10
  Speaker 1: And they contended in their might with their swords and
• 4:44:12
  Speaker 1: with their shields all that day, and when the night came,
• 4:44:16
  Speaker 1: there were thirty and two of the people of Shiz
• 4:44:18
  Speaker 1: and twenty and seven of the people of Coriantemer. And
• 4:44:21
  Speaker 1: it came to pass that they ate and slept and
• 4:44:24
  Speaker 1: prepared for death on the morrow. And they were large
• 4:44:27
  Speaker 1: and mighty men as to the strength of men. And
• 4:44:30
  Speaker 1: it came to pass that they fought for the space
• 4:44:32
  Speaker 1: of three hours, and they fainted with the loss of blood.
• 4:44:36
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that when the men of
• 4:44:39
  Speaker 1: Coriantmer had received sufficient strength that they could walk, they
• 4:44:42
  Speaker 1: were about to flee for their lives. But behold, Shiz
• 4:44:45
  Speaker 1: arose and also his men, and he swore in his
• 4:44:48
  Speaker 1: wrath that he would slay Coriantemer or he would perish
• 4:44:51
  Speaker 1: by the sword. Wherefore he did pursue them, and on
• 4:44:55
  Speaker 1: the morrow he did overtake them, and they fought again
• 4:44:58
  Speaker 1: with the sword. And it came to pass that when
• 4:45:00
  Speaker 1: they had all fallen by the sword, save it were
• 4:45:02
  Speaker 1: Kriantemer and Shiz. Behold, Shiz had fainted with the loss
• 4:45:07
  Speaker 1: of blood. And it came to pass that when Korantomer
• 4:45:10
  Speaker 1: had leaned upon his sword, that he rested a little.
• 4:45:13
  Speaker 1: He smote off the head of Shiz. And it came
• 4:45:17
  Speaker 1: to pass that, after he had smitten off the head
• 4:45:19
  Speaker 1: of Shiz, that Shiz raised upon his hands and fell.
• 4:45:23
  Speaker 1: And after that he had struggled for breath, he died.
• 4:45:28
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that Coriantimer fell to the
• 4:45:30
  Speaker 1: earth and became as if he had no life. And
• 4:45:34
  Speaker 1: the Lord spaken to Ether and said unto him, go forth.
• 4:45:39
  Speaker 1: And he went forth and beheld that the words of
• 4:45:42
  Speaker 1: the Lord had all been fulfilled. And he finished his record,
• 4:45:47
  Speaker 1: and the hundredth part I have not written, and he
• 4:45:51
  Speaker 1: hid them in a manner that the people of Limhai
• 4:45:54
  Speaker 1: did find them. Now the last words which are written
• 4:45:57
  Speaker 1: by Ether are these. The Lord will suffer that I
• 4:46:01
  Speaker 1: be translated, or that I suffer the will of the
• 4:46:04
  Speaker 1: Lord in the flesh. It mattereth not, if it so
• 4:46:07
  Speaker 1: be that I am saved in the Kingdom of God.
• 4:46:10
  Speaker 1: Amen Moroni. Chapter one. Now I Marona, I, after having
• 4:46:16
  Speaker 1: made an end of abridging the account of the people
• 4:46:19
  Speaker 1: of Jared, I had supposed not to have written more.
• 4:46:24
  Speaker 1: But I have not as yet perished. And I make
• 4:46:27
  Speaker 1: not myself known to the Lamanites, lest they should destroy me.
• 4:46:31
  Speaker 1: For behold their wars are exceedingly fierce among themselves, and
• 4:46:35
  Speaker 1: because of their hatred they put to death every Nephite
• 4:46:39
  Speaker 1: that will not deny the Christ. And I, moron, I
• 4:46:43
  Speaker 1: will not deny the Christ. Wherefore I wander whithersoever I can,
• 4:46:48
  Speaker 1: for the safety of mine own life. Wherefore I write
• 4:46:51
  Speaker 1: a few more things contrary to that which I had supposed,
• 4:46:56
  Speaker 1: For I had supposed not to have written any more.
• 4:46:59
  Speaker 1: But I write a few more things, that perhaps they
• 4:47:02
  Speaker 1: may be of worth unto my brethren, the Lamanites in
• 4:47:05
  Speaker 1: some future day, according to the will of the Lord Maroni.
• 4:47:11
  Speaker 1: Chapter two. The words of Christ which he spake unto
• 4:47:15
  Speaker 1: his disciples, the twelve whom he had chosen, as he
• 4:47:18
  Speaker 1: laid his hands upon them, and he called them by name, saying,
• 4:47:22
  Speaker 1: ye shall call on the Father in My name in
• 4:47:25
  Speaker 1: mighty prayer. And after ye have done this, ye shall
• 4:47:28
  Speaker 1: have power that to him upon whom ye shall lay
• 4:47:31
  Speaker 1: your hands, ye shall give the Holy Ghost. And in
• 4:47:35
  Speaker 1: My name shall ye give it. For thus do mine apostles.
• 4:47:40
  Speaker 1: Now Christ spake these words unto them at the time
• 4:47:43
  Speaker 1: of his first appearing, and the multitude heard it not,
• 4:47:47
  Speaker 1: but the disciples heard it, and on as many as
• 4:47:51
  Speaker 1: they laid their hands fell the Holy Ghost. Maroni chapter three.
• 4:47:57
  Speaker 1: The manner which the disciples, who were called the elders
• 4:48:01
  Speaker 1: of the Church, ordained priests and teachers. After they had
• 4:48:04
  Speaker 1: prayed unto the Father in the name of Christ. They
• 4:48:07
  Speaker 1: laid their hands upon them and said, in the name
• 4:48:11
  Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ, I ordain you to be a priest or,
• 4:48:16
  Speaker 1: if he be a teacher, I ordain you to be
• 4:48:19
  Speaker 1: a teacher, to preach repentance and remission of sins through
• 4:48:23
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, by the endurance of faith on his name
• 4:48:26
  Speaker 1: to the end amen. And after this manner did they
• 4:48:30
  Speaker 1: ordain priests and teachers according to the gifts and callings
• 4:48:33
  Speaker 1: of God unto men. And they ordained them by the
• 4:48:36
  Speaker 1: power of the Holy Ghost which was in them Maroni
• 4:48:41
  Speaker 1: chapter four. The manner of their elders and priests administering
• 4:48:46
  Speaker 1: the flesh and blood of Christ unto the Church. And
• 4:48:50
  Speaker 1: they administered it according to the commandments of Christ. Wherefore
• 4:48:54
  Speaker 1: we know the manner to be true. And the elder
• 4:48:57
  Speaker 1: or priest didminister it. And they did kneel down with
• 4:49:01
  Speaker 1: the church and pray to the Father in the name
• 4:49:04
  Speaker 1: of Christ, saying, O God the Eternal Father. We ask
• 4:49:09
  Speaker 1: THEE in the name of thy Son, Jesus Christ, to
• 4:49:13
  Speaker 1: bless and sanctify this bread to the souls of all
• 4:49:17
  Speaker 1: those who partake of it, that they may eat in
• 4:49:21
  Speaker 1: remembrance of the body of thy Son, and witness unto
• 4:49:25
  Speaker 1: THEE O God, the Eternal Father, that they are willing
• 4:49:29
  Speaker 1: to take upon them the name of thy Son, and
• 4:49:32
  Speaker 1: always remember him and keep his commandments which he hath
• 4:49:35
  Speaker 1: given them, that they may always have His spirit to
• 4:49:38
  Speaker 1: be with them, Amen. Moroni chapter five. The manner of
• 4:49:45
  Speaker 1: administering the wine. Behold, they took the cup and said, O, God,
• 4:49:52
  Speaker 1: the Eternal Father, we ask THEE in the name of
• 4:49:55
  Speaker 1: thy Son, Jesus Christ, to bless and sanctify this wine
• 4:50:00
  Speaker 1: to the souls of all those who drink of it,
• 4:50:02
  Speaker 1: that they may do it in remembrance of the blood
• 4:50:05
  Speaker 1: of thy Son which was shed for them, that they
• 4:50:08
  Speaker 1: may witness unto THEE O God, the Eternal Father, that
• 4:50:11
  Speaker 1: they do always remember him, that they may have His
• 4:50:15
  Speaker 1: spirit to be with them, Amen. Moroni chapter six. And
• 4:50:22
  Speaker 1: now I speak concerning baptism. Behold, elders, priests, and teachers
• 4:50:27
  Speaker 1: were baptized, and they were not baptized, save they brought
• 4:50:31
  Speaker 1: forth fruit to meet, that they were worthy of it.
• 4:50:35
  Speaker 1: Neither did they receive any unto baptism, save they came
• 4:50:39
  Speaker 1: forth with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, and
• 4:50:42
  Speaker 1: witnessed unto the Church that they truly repented of all
• 4:50:46
  Speaker 1: their sins. And none were received unto baptism, save they
• 4:50:50
  Speaker 1: took upon them the name of Christ, having a determination
• 4:50:54
  Speaker 1: to serve Him to the end. And after they had
• 4:50:58
  Speaker 1: been received unto baptism, and were wrought upon and cleansed
• 4:51:01
  Speaker 1: by the power of the Holy Ghost, they were numbered
• 4:51:04
  Speaker 1: among the people of the Church of Christ, and their
• 4:51:07
  Speaker 1: names were taken that they might be remembered and nourished
• 4:51:11
  Speaker 1: by the good word of God, to keep them in
• 4:51:14
  Speaker 1: the right way, to keep them continually watchful, and to prayer,
• 4:51:18
  Speaker 1: relying alone upon the merits of Christ, who was the
• 4:51:21
  Speaker 1: author and the finisher of their faith. And the Church
• 4:51:26
  Speaker 1: did meet together oft too fast and to pray, and
• 4:51:30
  Speaker 1: to speak one with another concerning the welfare of their souls.
• 4:51:34
  Speaker 1: And they did meet together oft to partake of bread
• 4:51:37
  Speaker 1: and wine in remembrance of the Lord Jesus. And they
• 4:51:41
  Speaker 1: were strict to observe that there should be no iniquity
• 4:51:44
  Speaker 1: among them, and whoso was found to commit iniquity, and
• 4:51:48
  Speaker 1: three witnesses of the Church did condemn them before the elders.
• 4:51:52
  Speaker 1: And if they repented not and confessed not, their names
• 4:51:57
  Speaker 1: were blotted out, and they were not numbered among the
• 4:51:59
  Speaker 1: peer people of Christ. But as oft as they repented
• 4:52:03
  Speaker 1: and sought forgiveness with real intent, they were forgiven. And
• 4:52:08
  Speaker 1: their meetings were conducted by the Church after the manner
• 4:52:12
  Speaker 1: of the workings of the Spirit, and by the power
• 4:52:14
  Speaker 1: of the Holy Ghost. For as the power of the
• 4:52:17
  Speaker 1: Holy Ghost led them, whether to preach or to exhort,
• 4:52:21
  Speaker 1: or to pray, or to supplicate, or to sing, even
• 4:52:24
  Speaker 1: so it was done Maronae chapter seven. And now I
• 4:52:30
  Speaker 1: Moronae write a few of the words of my father Mormon,
• 4:52:33
  Speaker 1: which he spake concerning faith, hope, and charity. For after
• 4:52:38
  Speaker 1: this manner did he speak unto the people, as he
• 4:52:40
  Speaker 1: taught them in the synagogue which they had built for
• 4:52:43
  Speaker 1: the place of worship. And now I Mormon speak unto you,
• 4:52:46
  Speaker 1: my beloved brethren. And it is by the grace of God,
• 4:52:50
  Speaker 1: the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, and his Holy will,
• 4:52:53
  Speaker 1: because of the gift of his calling unto me, that
• 4:52:56
  Speaker 1: I am permitted to speak unto you at this time
• 4:52:59
  Speaker 1: where I would speak unto you that are of the Church,
• 4:53:03
  Speaker 1: that are the peaceable followers of Christ, and that have
• 4:53:06
  Speaker 1: obtained a sufficient hope by which ye can enter into
• 4:53:09
  Speaker 1: the rest of the Lord from this time henceforth until
• 4:53:12
  Speaker 1: ye shall rest with Him in Heaven. And now, my brethren,
• 4:53:15
  Speaker 1: I judge these things of you because of your peaceable
• 4:53:18
  Speaker 1: walk with the children of men. For I remember the
• 4:53:21
  Speaker 1: word of God which saith. By their works, ye shall
• 4:53:25
  Speaker 1: know them. For if their works be good, then they
• 4:53:28
  Speaker 1: are good. Also. For behold, God hath said, a man
• 4:53:31
  Speaker 1: being evil cannot do that which is good. For if
• 4:53:35
  Speaker 1: he offereth a gift or prayeth unto God, except he
• 4:53:38
  Speaker 1: shall do it with real intent, it profiteth him nothing.
• 4:53:42
  Speaker 1: For behold, it is not counted unto him for righteousness.
• 4:53:46
  Speaker 1: For behold, if a man being evil giveth a gift,
• 4:53:49
  Speaker 1: he doeth it grudgingly, wherefore it is counted unto him,
• 4:53:53
  Speaker 1: the same as if he had retained the gift. Wherefore
• 4:53:56
  Speaker 1: he is counted evil before God. And likewise also it
• 4:54:00
  Speaker 1: is counted evil unto man if he shall pray and
• 4:54:03
  Speaker 1: not with real intent of heart, yea, and it profiteth
• 4:54:06
  Speaker 1: him nothing, for God receiveth none such. Wherefore a man
• 4:54:10
  Speaker 1: being evil cannot do that which is good. Neither will
• 4:54:13
  Speaker 1: he give a good gift. For behold, a bitter fountain
• 4:54:18
  Speaker 1: cannot bring forth good water. Neither can a good fountain
• 4:54:21
  Speaker 1: bring forth bitter water. Wherefore, a man being a servant
• 4:54:25
  Speaker 1: of the devil, cannot follow Christ. And if he follow Christ,
• 4:54:30
  Speaker 1: he cannot be a servant of the devil. Wherefore, all
• 4:54:33
  Speaker 1: things which are good cometh of God, and that which
• 4:54:36
  Speaker 1: is evil cometh of the devil. For the devil is
• 4:54:39
  Speaker 1: an enemy unto God, and fighteth against him continually, and
• 4:54:43
  Speaker 1: inviteth and enticeth to sin and to do that which
• 4:54:46
  Speaker 1: is evil continually. But behold, that which is of God
• 4:54:51
  Speaker 1: inviteth and entices to do good continually. Wherefore everything which
• 4:54:55
  Speaker 1: inviteth and enticeth to do good and to love God
• 4:54:59
  Speaker 1: and to serve inspired of God. Wherefore, take heed, my
• 4:55:03
  Speaker 1: beloved brethren, that ye do not judge that which is
• 4:55:06
  Speaker 1: evil to be of God, or that which is good
• 4:55:09
  Speaker 1: and of God to be of the devil. For behold,
• 4:55:12
  Speaker 1: my brethren, it is given unto you to judge, that
• 4:55:15
  Speaker 1: ye may know good from evil, And the way to
• 4:55:17
  Speaker 1: judge is as plain, that ye may know with a
• 4:55:20
  Speaker 1: perfect knowledge, as the daylight is from the dark night.
• 4:55:23
  Speaker 1: For behold, the spirit of Christ is given to every man,
• 4:55:27
  Speaker 1: that he may know good from evil. Wherefore I show
• 4:55:30
  Speaker 1: unto you the way to judge. For everything which invite
• 4:55:33
  Speaker 1: us to do good and to persuade to believe in Christ,
• 4:55:37
  Speaker 1: is sent forth by the power and gift of Christ.
• 4:55:40
  Speaker 1: Wherefore ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is
• 4:55:44
  Speaker 1: of God. But whatsoever thing persuadeth man to do evil
• 4:55:48
  Speaker 1: and believe not in Christ, and deny Him and serve
• 4:55:51
  Speaker 1: not God, then ye may know with a perfect knowledge
• 4:55:54
  Speaker 1: it is of the devil. For after this manner doth
• 4:55:57
  Speaker 1: the devil work. For he persuadeth no man to do good.
• 4:56:01
  Speaker 1: Know not one. Neither do his angels, neither do they
• 4:56:05
  Speaker 1: who subject themselves unto him. And now, my brethren, seeing
• 4:56:10
  Speaker 1: that ye know the light by which ye may judge,
• 4:56:13
  Speaker 1: which light is the light of Christ, see that ye
• 4:56:16
  Speaker 1: do not judge wrongfully, For with that same judgment which
• 4:56:20
  Speaker 1: ye judge, ye shall also be judged. Wherefore I beseecheth you, brethren,
• 4:56:25
  Speaker 1: that ye should search diligently in the light of Christ,
• 4:56:30
  Speaker 1: that ye may know good from evil. And if ye
• 4:56:33
  Speaker 1: will lay hold upon every good thing and condemn it not,
• 4:56:37
  Speaker 1: ye certainly will be a child of Christ. And now,
• 4:56:41
  Speaker 1: my brethren, how is it possible that ye can lay
• 4:56:43
  Speaker 1: hold upon every good thing? And now I come to
• 4:56:47
  Speaker 1: that faith of which I said I would speak, And
• 4:56:51
  Speaker 1: I will tell you the way whereby ye may lay
• 4:56:53
  Speaker 1: hold on every good thing. For behold, God knoweth all things,
• 4:56:58
  Speaker 1: being from everlasting to everlasting. Behold, he sent angels to
• 4:57:02
  Speaker 1: minister unto the children of men, to make manifest concerning
• 4:57:06
  Speaker 1: the coming of Christ. And in Christ there should come
• 4:57:09
  Speaker 1: every good thing. And God also declareth unto prophets by
• 4:57:13
  Speaker 1: his own mouth, that Christ should come. And behold, there
• 4:57:18
  Speaker 1: were diverse ways that He did manifest things unto the
• 4:57:21
  Speaker 1: children of men which were good, and all things which
• 4:57:24
  Speaker 1: are good cometh of Christ. Otherwise men were fallen, and
• 4:57:28
  Speaker 1: there could no good thing come unto them. Wherefore, by
• 4:57:32
  Speaker 1: the ministering of angels and by every word which precedeth
• 4:57:35
  Speaker 1: forth out of the mouth of God, men began to
• 4:57:38
  Speaker 1: exercise faith in Christ. And thus by faith they did
• 4:57:42
  Speaker 1: lay hold upon every good thing. And thus it was
• 4:57:46
  Speaker 1: until the coming of Christ. And after that he came,
• 4:57:49
  Speaker 1: men also were saved by faith in his name, and
• 4:57:53
  Speaker 1: by faith they become the sons of God. And as
• 4:57:56
  Speaker 1: sure as Christ liveth He spake these words unto our fathers, saying,
• 4:58:01
  Speaker 1: whatsoever thing ye shall ask the Father in my name
• 4:58:05
  Speaker 1: which is good in faith, believing that ye shall receive. Behold,
• 4:58:10
  Speaker 1: it shall be done unto you. Wherefore, my beloved brethren,
• 4:58:13
  Speaker 1: have miracles ceased. Because Christ hath ascended into heaven, and
• 4:58:17
  Speaker 1: hath sat down on the right hand of God to
• 4:58:20
  Speaker 1: claim of the Father his rights of mercy, which he
• 4:58:23
  Speaker 1: hath upon the children of men. For he hath answered
• 4:58:26
  Speaker 1: the ends of the law. And he claimeth all those
• 4:58:29
  Speaker 1: who have faith in him, and they who have faith
• 4:58:31
  Speaker 1: in him will cleave unto every good thing. Wherefore he
• 4:58:35
  Speaker 1: advocateth the cause of the children of men, and he
• 4:58:38
  Speaker 1: dwelleth eternally in the heavens. And because he has done this,
• 4:58:42
  Speaker 1: my beloved brethren, have miracles ceased. Behold, they say unto you, Nay,
• 4:58:47
  Speaker 1: neither have angels ceased to minister unto the children of men.
• 4:58:50
  Speaker 1: For behold, they are subject unto him to minister according
• 4:58:54
  Speaker 1: to the word of His command, showing themselves unto them
• 4:58:57
  Speaker 1: of strong faith and a firm mind in every form
• 4:59:00
  Speaker 1: of godliness. And the office of their ministry is to
• 4:59:04
  Speaker 1: call men unto repentance and to fulfill and to do
• 4:59:09
  Speaker 1: the work of the covenance of the Father, which he
• 4:59:11
  Speaker 1: hath made unto the children of men, to prepare the
• 4:59:14
  Speaker 1: way among the children of men by declaring the word
• 4:59:18
  Speaker 1: of Christ unto the chosen vessels of the Lord, that
• 4:59:21
  Speaker 1: they may bear testimony of Him. And by so doing,
• 4:59:26
  Speaker 1: the Lord God prepareth the way that the residue of
• 4:59:29
  Speaker 1: men may have faith in Christ, that the Holy Ghost
• 4:59:33
  Speaker 1: may have place in their hearts, according to the power thereof.
• 4:59:36
  Speaker 1: And after this manner bringeth to pass the Father the
• 4:59:39
  Speaker 1: covenance which he hath made unto the children of men.
• 4:59:44
  Speaker 1: And Christ hath said, if ye will have faith in Me,
• 4:59:47
  Speaker 1: ye shall have power to do whatsoever thing is expedient
• 4:59:50
  Speaker 1: in me. And he hath said, repent, all ye ends
• 4:59:54
  Speaker 1: of the earth, and come unto Me, and be baptized
• 4:59:57
  Speaker 1: in my name, and have faith in me, the ye
• 5:00:00
  Speaker 1: may be saved. And now, my beloved brethren, if this
• 5:00:04
  Speaker 1: be the case that these things are true, which I
• 5:00:07
  Speaker 1: have spoken unto you, and God will show unto you
• 5:00:10
  Speaker 1: with power and great glory at the last day, that
• 5:00:12
  Speaker 1: they are true. And if they are true, has the
• 5:00:15
  Speaker 1: day of miracles ceased? Or have angels ceased to appear
• 5:00:20
  Speaker 1: unto the children of men? Or has He withheld the
• 5:00:23
  Speaker 1: power of the Holy Ghost from them? Or will he
• 5:00:26
  Speaker 1: so long as time shall last, or the earth shall stand,
• 5:00:30
  Speaker 1: or there shall be one man upon the face thereof
• 5:00:33
  Speaker 1: to be saved. Behold, I say unto you nay, for
• 5:00:37
  Speaker 1: it is by faith that miracles are wrought, and it
• 5:00:40
  Speaker 1: is by faith that angels appear and minister unto men. Wherefore,
• 5:00:44
  Speaker 1: if these things have ceased, woe be unto the children
• 5:00:47
  Speaker 1: of men, for it is because of unbelief, and all
• 5:00:51
  Speaker 1: is vain. For no man can be saved according to
• 5:00:54
  Speaker 1: the words of Christ, save they shall have faith in
• 5:00:57
  Speaker 1: His name. Wherefore, if these things have ceased, then has
• 5:01:01
  Speaker 1: faith ceased also? And awful is the state of man,
• 5:01:06
  Speaker 1: for they are as though there had been no redemption made.
• 5:01:10
  Speaker 1: But behold, my beloved brethren, I judge better things of you,
• 5:01:14
  Speaker 1: For I judge that ye have faith in Christ because
• 5:01:17
  Speaker 1: of your meekness. For if ye have not faith in Him,
• 5:01:21
  Speaker 1: then ye are not fit to be numbered among the
• 5:01:23
  Speaker 1: people of His church. And again, my beloved brethren, I
• 5:01:26
  Speaker 1: would speak unto you concerning hope. How is it that
• 5:01:30
  Speaker 1: ye can attain unto faith? Save ye shall have hope?
• 5:01:34
  Speaker 1: And what is it ye shall hope? For behold, I
• 5:01:37
  Speaker 1: say unto you that ye shall have hope through the
• 5:01:40
  Speaker 1: atonement of Christ and the power of His resurrection, to
• 5:01:44
  Speaker 1: be raised unto life eternal. And this because of your
• 5:01:47
  Speaker 1: faith in Him, according to the promise. Wherefore, if a
• 5:01:52
  Speaker 1: man have faith, he must needs have hope, for without
• 5:01:56
  Speaker 1: faith there cannot be any hope. And again, behold, I
• 5:01:59
  Speaker 1: say unto you that he cannot have faith and hope
• 5:02:03
  Speaker 1: save he shall be meek and lowly of heart. If so,
• 5:02:07
  Speaker 1: his faith and hope is vain. For none is acceptable
• 5:02:10
  Speaker 1: before God, save the meek and lowly in heart. And
• 5:02:14
  Speaker 1: if a man be meek and lowly in heart and confesses,
• 5:02:18
  Speaker 1: by the power of the Holy Ghost that Jesus is
• 5:02:21
  Speaker 1: the Christ, he must needs have charity, for if he
• 5:02:26
  Speaker 1: have not charity, he is nothing. Wherefore he must needs
• 5:02:30
  Speaker 1: have charity, for charity suffereth long and is kind, and
• 5:02:36
  Speaker 1: envieth not and is not puffed up, seeketh not her
• 5:02:39
  Speaker 1: own is not easily provoked. Thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth
• 5:02:44
  Speaker 1: not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the Truth. Beareth all things,
• 5:02:48
  Speaker 1: believeth all things, hopeth, all things, endureth all things. Wherefore,
• 5:02:54
  Speaker 1: my beloved brethren, if ye have not charity, ye are nothing.
• 5:02:58
  Speaker 1: For charity never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto charity, which is
• 5:03:04
  Speaker 1: the greatest of all, For all things must fail. But
• 5:03:08
  Speaker 1: charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever.
• 5:03:13
  Speaker 1: And whoso has found possessed of it at the last day,
• 5:03:16
  Speaker 1: it shall be well with him. Wherefore, my beloved brethren,
• 5:03:21
  Speaker 1: pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart,
• 5:03:24
  Speaker 1: that ye may be filled with this love which He
• 5:03:27
  Speaker 1: hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of His
• 5:03:29
  Speaker 1: son Jesus Christ, that ye may become the sons of God,
• 5:03:34
  Speaker 1: that when He shall appear, we shall be like him,
• 5:03:38
  Speaker 1: for we shall see him as he is, that we
• 5:03:41
  Speaker 1: may have this hope, that we may be purified even
• 5:03:44
  Speaker 1: as He is pure Amen. End of Ether chapters fourteen
• 5:03:50
  Speaker 1: through fifteen, and Moroni chapters one through seven.
• 5:03:54
  Speaker 2: Morona chapter eight, an epistle of my father Mormon written
• 5:03:59
  Speaker 2: to me, Morone, and it was written unto me soon
• 5:04:02
  Speaker 2: after my calling to the ministry. And on this wise
• 5:04:06
  Speaker 2: did he write unto me, saying, my beloved son, Morona,
• 5:04:09
  Speaker 2: I rejoice exceedingly that your Lord Jesus Christ hath been
• 5:04:13
  Speaker 2: mindful of you, and hath called you to his ministry
• 5:04:17
  Speaker 2: and to his holy work. I am mindful of you
• 5:04:20
  Speaker 2: always in my prayers, continually prying unto God the Father,
• 5:04:24
  Speaker 2: in the name of his holy child Jesus, that He,
• 5:04:28
  Speaker 2: through his infinite goodness and grace, will keep you through
• 5:04:31
  Speaker 2: the endurance of faith on his name to the end.
• 5:04:34
  Speaker 2: And now, my son, I speak unto you concerning that
• 5:04:38
  Speaker 2: which grieveth me exceedingly, for it grieveth me that there
• 5:04:41
  Speaker 2: should be disputations rise among you. For if I have
• 5:04:45
  Speaker 2: learned the truth, there have been disputations among you concerning
• 5:04:49
  Speaker 2: the baptism of your little children. And now, my son,
• 5:04:53
  Speaker 2: I desire that ye should labor diligently that this gross
• 5:04:57
  Speaker 2: error should be removed from among you. For for this
• 5:05:00
  Speaker 2: intent I have written this epistle. For immediately after I
• 5:05:05
  Speaker 2: had learned these things of you, I inquired of the
• 5:05:07
  Speaker 2: Lord concerning the matter, and the word of the Lord
• 5:05:11
  Speaker 2: came to me by the power of the Holy Ghost.
• 5:05:13
  Speaker 2: Sang listen to the words of Christ, your Redeemer, your Lord,
• 5:05:18
  Speaker 2: and your God. Behold, I came into the world not
• 5:05:21
  Speaker 2: to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. The whole
• 5:05:26
  Speaker 2: need no physician, but they that are sick. Wherefore little
• 5:05:30
  Speaker 2: children are whole, for they are not capable of committing sin.
• 5:05:34
  Speaker 2: Wherefore the curse of Adam is taken from them in me,
• 5:05:38
  Speaker 2: that it hath no power over them, and the law
• 5:05:41
  Speaker 2: of circumcision is done away in me. And after this
• 5:05:45
  Speaker 2: manner did the Holy Ghost manifest the word of God
• 5:05:48
  Speaker 2: unto me. Wherefore, my beloved son, I know that it
• 5:05:52
  Speaker 2: is solemn mockery before God that ye should baptize little children. Behold,
• 5:05:57
  Speaker 2: I say unto you that this thing shall ye teach
• 5:06:01
  Speaker 2: repentance and baptism. Unto those who are accountable and capable
• 5:06:05
  Speaker 2: of committing sin. Yea teach parents that they must repent
• 5:06:10
  Speaker 2: and be baptized, and humble themselves as their little children,
• 5:06:14
  Speaker 2: and they shall all be saved with their little children.
• 5:06:18
  Speaker 2: And their little children need no repentance neither baptism. Behold,
• 5:06:23
  Speaker 2: baptism is unto repentance, to the fulfilling the commandments, unto
• 5:06:28
  Speaker 2: the remission of sins. But little children are alive in
• 5:06:32
  Speaker 2: Christ even from the foundation of the world. If not so,
• 5:06:36
  Speaker 2: God is a partial God, and also a changeable God,
• 5:06:40
  Speaker 2: and a respector to persons. For how many little children
• 5:06:43
  Speaker 2: have died without baptism. Wherefore, if little children could not
• 5:06:48
  Speaker 2: be saved without baptism, these must have gone to an
• 5:06:52
  Speaker 2: endless hell. Behold, I say unto you that he that
• 5:06:56
  Speaker 2: supposeth that little children need baptism is in the goad
• 5:07:00
  Speaker 2: of bitterness, and in the bonds of iniquity. For he
• 5:07:03
  Speaker 2: hath neither faith, hope, nor charity. Wherefore should he be
• 5:07:08
  Speaker 2: cut off, while in the thought he must go down
• 5:07:11
  Speaker 2: to hell? For awful is the wickedness to suppose that
• 5:07:15
  Speaker 2: God saveth one child because of baptism, and the other
• 5:07:19
  Speaker 2: must perish because he hath no baptism. Wee be unto
• 5:07:23
  Speaker 2: them that shall pervert the ways of the Lord after
• 5:07:26
  Speaker 2: this manner, for they shall perish except they repent. Behold,
• 5:07:31
  Speaker 2: I speak with boldness, having authority from God, and I
• 5:07:35
  Speaker 2: fear not what man can do, For perfect love casteth
• 5:07:39
  Speaker 2: out all fear. And I am filled with charity, which
• 5:07:42
  Speaker 2: is everlasting love. Wherefore all children are alike unto me.
• 5:07:47
  Speaker 2: Wherefore I love little children with a perfect love, and
• 5:07:51
  Speaker 2: they are all alike and partakers of salvation. For I
• 5:07:55
  Speaker 2: know that God is not a partial God, neither a
• 5:07:58
  Speaker 2: changeable being, but He is unchangeable from all eternity to
• 5:08:03
  Speaker 2: all eternity. Little children cannot repent. Wherefore it is awful
• 5:08:08
  Speaker 2: wickedness to deny the pure mercies of God unto them,
• 5:08:12
  Speaker 2: For they are all alive in Him because of His mercy.
• 5:08:16
  Speaker 2: And he that saith that little children need baptism denieth
• 5:08:20
  Speaker 2: the mercies of Christ and setteth a naught the atonement
• 5:08:24
  Speaker 2: of Him and the power of His redemption. Woe unto such,
• 5:08:28
  Speaker 2: for they are in danger of death, hell and an
• 5:08:31
  Speaker 2: endless torment. I speak it boldly. God hath commanded me
• 5:08:36
  Speaker 2: listen unto them and give heed, or they stand against
• 5:08:40
  Speaker 2: you at the judgment seat of Christ. For behold that
• 5:08:43
  Speaker 2: all little children are alive in Christ, and also all
• 5:08:47
  Speaker 2: they that are without the law. For the power of
• 5:08:50
  Speaker 2: redemption cometh on all them that have no law. Wherefore,
• 5:08:54
  Speaker 2: he that is not condemned, or he that is under
• 5:08:57
  Speaker 2: no condemnation cannot repent, and unto such baptism availeth nothing,
• 5:09:04
  Speaker 2: but it is mockery before God, denying the mercies of
• 5:09:07
  Speaker 2: Christ and the power of His Holy Spirit, and putting
• 5:09:11
  Speaker 2: trust in dead works. Behold, my son, this thing ought
• 5:09:15
  Speaker 2: not to be for repentance is unto them that are
• 5:09:18
  Speaker 2: under condemnation and under the curse of a broken law.
• 5:09:22
  Speaker 2: And the first fruits of repentance is baptism. And baptism
• 5:09:26
  Speaker 2: cometh by faith unto the fulfilling the commandments. And the
• 5:09:31
  Speaker 2: fulfilling the commandments bringeth remission of sins, and the remission
• 5:09:35
  Speaker 2: of sins bringeth meekness and lowliness of heart. And because
• 5:09:40
  Speaker 2: of meekness and lowliness of heart cometh the visitation of
• 5:09:44
  Speaker 2: the Holy Ghost, which comfort her fillth with hope and
• 5:09:48
  Speaker 2: perfect love, which love endureth by diligence unto prayer, until
• 5:09:53
  Speaker 2: the end shall come, when all the saints shall dwell
• 5:09:57
  Speaker 2: with God. Behold, my son, I will write unto you
• 5:10:00
  Speaker 2: again if I go not out soon against the Lamanites. Behold,
• 5:10:05
  Speaker 2: the pride of this nation or the people of the Nephites,
• 5:10:09
  Speaker 2: hath proven their destruction, except they should repent pray for them,
• 5:10:13
  Speaker 2: my son, that repentance may come unto them. But behold,
• 5:10:18
  Speaker 2: I fear lest the Spirit hath ceased striving with them.
• 5:10:22
  Speaker 2: And in this part of the land they are also
• 5:10:24
  Speaker 2: seeking to put down all power and authority which cometh
• 5:10:28
  Speaker 2: from God. And they are denying the Holy Ghost. And
• 5:10:31
  Speaker 2: after rejecting so great a knowledge, my son, they must perish, Son,
• 5:10:37
  Speaker 2: unto the fulfilling of the prophecies which were spoken by
• 5:10:40
  Speaker 2: the prophets, as well as the words of our Savior himself. Farewell,
• 5:10:45
  Speaker 2: my son, until I shall write unto you, or shall
• 5:10:48
  Speaker 2: meet you again, Amen. Morony Chapter nine, My beloved son,
• 5:10:55
  Speaker 2: I write unto you again that ye may know that
• 5:10:57
  Speaker 2: I am yet alive. But I write somewhat of that
• 5:11:01
  Speaker 2: which is grieve us. For behold, I have had a
• 5:11:04
  Speaker 2: sore battle with the Lamanites, in which we did not conquer,
• 5:11:09
  Speaker 2: and Archiantus has fallen by the sword, and also Lram
• 5:11:13
  Speaker 2: and Emron yea, and we have lost a great number
• 5:11:16
  Speaker 2: of our choice men. And now behold, my son, I
• 5:11:20
  Speaker 2: fear lest the Lamanites shall destroy this people, for they
• 5:11:24
  Speaker 2: do not repent, and Satan stirreth them up continually to anger,
• 5:11:28
  Speaker 2: one with another. Behold, I am laboring with them continually,
• 5:11:32
  Speaker 2: And when I speak the word of God with sharpness,
• 5:11:35
  Speaker 2: they tremble and anger against me. And when I use
• 5:11:39
  Speaker 2: no sharpness, they hearten their hearts against it. Wherefore I
• 5:11:42
  Speaker 2: fear lest the spirit of the Lord hath ceased striving
• 5:11:46
  Speaker 2: with them, For so exceedingly do they anger, that it
• 5:11:49
  Speaker 2: seemeth me that they have no fear of death, and
• 5:11:52
  Speaker 2: they have lost their love one towards another, and they
• 5:11:56
  Speaker 2: thirst after blood and revenge continually. And now, my beloved son,
• 5:12:01
  Speaker 2: notwithstanding their hardness, let us labor diligently, for if we
• 5:12:06
  Speaker 2: should cease to labor, we should be brought under condemnation.
• 5:12:10
  Speaker 2: For we have a labor to perform whilst in this
• 5:12:13
  Speaker 2: tabernacle of clay, that we may conquer the enemy of
• 5:12:16
  Speaker 2: all righteousness and rest our souls in the Kingdom of God.
• 5:12:20
  Speaker 2: And now I write somewhat concerning the sufferings of this people,
• 5:12:24
  Speaker 2: For according to the knowledge which I have received from Amaron, Behold,
• 5:12:29
  Speaker 2: the Lamanites have many prisoners which they took from the
• 5:12:32
  Speaker 2: Tower of Shariza. And there were men, women and children,
• 5:12:36
  Speaker 2: and the husbands and fathers of those women and children.
• 5:12:39
  Speaker 2: They have slain, and they feed the women upon the
• 5:12:43
  Speaker 2: flesh of their husbands, and the children upon the flesh
• 5:12:46
  Speaker 2: of their fathers. And no water, save a little, do
• 5:12:50
  Speaker 2: they give unto them. And notwithstanding this great abomination of
• 5:12:54
  Speaker 2: the Lamanites, it doth not exceed that of our people
• 5:12:57
  Speaker 2: and moriantum. For behold, many of the daughters of the
• 5:13:01
  Speaker 2: Lamanites have they taken prisoners, And after depriving them of
• 5:13:05
  Speaker 2: that which was most dear and precious above all things,
• 5:13:09
  Speaker 2: which is chastity and virtue. And after they had done
• 5:13:12
  Speaker 2: this thing, they did murder them in a most cruel manner,
• 5:13:17
  Speaker 2: torturing their bodies even unto death. And after they have
• 5:13:20
  Speaker 2: done this, they devour their flesh like unto wild beasts,
• 5:13:25
  Speaker 2: because of the hardness of their hearts. And they do
• 5:13:28
  Speaker 2: it for a token of bravery. Oh, my beloved son,
• 5:13:32
  Speaker 2: how can a people like this that are without civilization?
• 5:13:36
  Speaker 2: And only a few years have passed away, and they
• 5:13:39
  Speaker 2: were of civil and a delightsome people. But, oh, my son,
• 5:13:43
  Speaker 2: how can a people like this whose delight is in
• 5:13:46
  Speaker 2: so much abomination? How can we expect that God will
• 5:13:51
  Speaker 2: stay his hand and judgment against us? Behold, my heart
• 5:13:56
  Speaker 2: cries woe unto this people. Come out in judgment, O God,
• 5:14:01
  Speaker 2: and hide their sins and wickedness and abominations from before
• 5:14:05
  Speaker 2: thy face. And again, my son, there are many widows
• 5:14:09
  Speaker 2: and their daughters who remain in Shariza, and that part
• 5:14:12
  Speaker 2: of the provisions which the Lamanites did not carry away. Behold,
• 5:14:17
  Speaker 2: the army of XENOPHI has carried away and left them
• 5:14:20
  Speaker 2: to wander whithersoever they can for food. And many old
• 5:14:24
  Speaker 2: women do faint by the way and die. And the
• 5:14:27
  Speaker 2: army which is with me is weak. And the armies
• 5:14:30
  Speaker 2: of the Lamanites are betwixt Shariza and me. And as
• 5:14:34
  Speaker 2: many as have fled to the Army of Arin have
• 5:14:37
  Speaker 2: fallen victims to their awful brutality. Oh, the depravity of
• 5:14:41
  Speaker 2: my people. They are without order and without mercy. Behold,
• 5:14:46
  Speaker 2: I am but a man, and I have but the
• 5:14:48
  Speaker 2: strength of a man. And I cannot any longer enforce
• 5:14:52
  Speaker 2: my commands. And they have become strong in their perversion.
• 5:14:56
  Speaker 2: And they are alike brutal, sparing, none neither o old
• 5:15:00
  Speaker 2: nor young. And they delight in everything save that which
• 5:15:04
  Speaker 2: is good, and the suffering of our women and our children.
• 5:15:07
  Speaker 2: Upon all the face of this land doth exceed everything.
• 5:15:11
  Speaker 2: Yea tongue cannot tell, neither can it be written. And
• 5:15:16
  Speaker 2: now my son, I dwell no longer upon this horrible scene. Behold,
• 5:15:21
  Speaker 2: thou knowest the wickedness of this people. Thou knowest that
• 5:15:25
  Speaker 2: they are without principle and past feeling, and their wickedness
• 5:15:28
  Speaker 2: doth exceed that of the Lamanites. Behold, my son, I
• 5:15:33
  Speaker 2: cannot recommend them unto God, lest he should smite me.
• 5:15:37
  Speaker 2: But behold, my son, I recommend thee unto God. And
• 5:15:42
  Speaker 2: I trust in Christ that thou wilt be saved. And
• 5:15:45
  Speaker 2: I pray unto God that He will spare thy life
• 5:15:48
  Speaker 2: to witness the return of his people unto Him, or
• 5:15:51
  Speaker 2: their utter destruction. For I know that they must perish
• 5:15:55
  Speaker 2: except they repent and return unto Him. And if they perish,
• 5:16:00
  Speaker 2: it will be like unto the Jaredites, because of the
• 5:16:03
  Speaker 2: wilfulness of their hearts, seeking for blood and revenge. And
• 5:16:07
  Speaker 2: if it so be that they perish, we know that
• 5:16:11
  Speaker 2: many of our brethren have deserted over unto the Lamanites,
• 5:16:14
  Speaker 2: and many more will also desert over unto them. Wherefore,
• 5:16:18
  Speaker 2: write somewhat a few things. If thou art spared, and
• 5:16:22
  Speaker 2: I shall perish and not see THEE. But I trust
• 5:16:25
  Speaker 2: that I may see THEE soon, for I have sacred
• 5:16:28
  Speaker 2: records that I would deliver up unto THEE, my son.
• 5:16:32
  Speaker 2: Be faithful in Christ. And may not the things which
• 5:16:35
  Speaker 2: I have written grieve THEE to weigh THEE down unto death.
• 5:16:39
  Speaker 2: But may Christ lift THEE up. And may his sufferings
• 5:16:43
  Speaker 2: and death, and the showing his body unto our fathers,
• 5:16:47
  Speaker 2: and his mercy and long suffering, and the hope of
• 5:16:50
  Speaker 2: his glory and of eternal life rest in your mind forever.
• 5:16:54
  Speaker 2: And may the grace of God, the Father, whose throne
• 5:16:57
  Speaker 2: is high in the heavens, and our Lord, Lord Jesus Christ,
• 5:17:01
  Speaker 2: who sitteth on the right hand of his power, until
• 5:17:04
  Speaker 2: all things shall become subject unto Him, be and abide
• 5:17:09
  Speaker 2: with you forever, Amen, Moroni. Chapter ten. Now I, Moron,
• 5:17:15
  Speaker 2: I write somewhat as seemeth me good. And I write
• 5:17:19
  Speaker 2: unto my brethren, the Lamanites. And I would that they
• 5:17:23
  Speaker 2: should know that more than four hundred and twenty years
• 5:17:26
  Speaker 2: have passed away since the sign was given of the
• 5:17:29
  Speaker 2: coming of Christ. And I seal up these records after
• 5:17:32
  Speaker 2: I have spoken a few words by way of exhortation.
• 5:17:35
  Speaker 2: Unto you. Behold, I would exhort you that, when ye
• 5:17:40
  Speaker 2: shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God
• 5:17:43
  Speaker 2: that ye should read them, that ye would remember how
• 5:17:46
  Speaker 2: merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men,
• 5:17:49
  Speaker 2: from the creation of Adam, even down unto the time
• 5:17:53
  Speaker 2: that ye shall receive these things and ponder it in
• 5:17:56
  Speaker 2: your hearts. And when ye shall receive these things, I
• 5:18:00
  Speaker 2: would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father,
• 5:18:04
  Speaker 2: in the name of Christ, if these things are not true,
• 5:18:08
  Speaker 2: And if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with
• 5:18:11
  Speaker 2: real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the
• 5:18:15
  Speaker 2: truth of it unto you by the power of the
• 5:18:17
  Speaker 2: Holy Ghost. And by the power of the Holy Ghost,
• 5:18:21
  Speaker 2: ye may know the truth of all things, And whatsoever
• 5:18:25
  Speaker 2: thing is good, is just and true. Wherefore, nothing that
• 5:18:29
  Speaker 2: is good denieth the Christ, but acknowledgeth that he is.
• 5:18:34
  Speaker 2: And ye may know that he is by the power
• 5:18:36
  Speaker 2: of the Holy Ghost. Wherefore I would exhort you that
• 5:18:40
  Speaker 2: ye deny not the power of God, for He worketh
• 5:18:43
  Speaker 2: by power according to the faith of the children of men,
• 5:18:47
  Speaker 2: the same to day and to morrow and forever. And
• 5:18:51
  Speaker 2: again I exhort you, my brethren, that ye deny not
• 5:18:54
  Speaker 2: the gifts of God. For they are many, and they
• 5:18:57
  Speaker 2: come from the same God. And there are differents ways
• 5:19:00
  Speaker 2: that these gifts are administered. But it is the same
• 5:19:03
  Speaker 2: God who worketh all in all. And they are given
• 5:19:07
  Speaker 2: by the manifestations of the Spirit of God, unto men
• 5:19:10
  Speaker 2: to profit them. For behold, to one is given by
• 5:19:14
  Speaker 2: the Spirit of God, that he may teach the word
• 5:19:17
  Speaker 2: of wisdom, and to another that he may teach the
• 5:19:20
  Speaker 2: word of knowledge by the same spirit. And to another
• 5:19:24
  Speaker 2: exceedingly great faith, and to another the gifts of healing
• 5:19:29
  Speaker 2: by the same spirit, and again to another, that he
• 5:19:32
  Speaker 2: may work mighty miracles, and again to another that he
• 5:19:36
  Speaker 2: may prophesy concerning all things. And again to another the
• 5:19:41
  Speaker 2: beholding of angels and ministering spirits, and again to another
• 5:19:47
  Speaker 2: all kinds of tongues, and again to another the interpretation
• 5:19:51
  Speaker 2: of languages and of diverse kinds of tongues. And all
• 5:19:56
  Speaker 2: these gifts come by the Spirit of Christ, and they
• 5:19:59
  Speaker 2: come unto every man severally according as ye will. And
• 5:20:03
  Speaker 2: I would exhort you, my beloved brethren, that ye remember
• 5:20:07
  Speaker 2: that every good gift cometh of Christ. And I would
• 5:20:10
  Speaker 2: exhort you, my beloved brethren, that ye remember that He
• 5:20:14
  Speaker 2: is the same, yesterday, to day and forever, and that
• 5:20:18
  Speaker 2: all these gifts of which I have spoken, which are spiritual,
• 5:20:22
  Speaker 2: never will be done away, even as long as the
• 5:20:24
  Speaker 2: world shall stand, only according to the unbelief of the
• 5:20:28
  Speaker 2: children of men. Wherefore there must be faith. And if
• 5:20:33
  Speaker 2: there must be faith, there must also be hope. And
• 5:20:36
  Speaker 2: if there must be hope, there must also be charity.
• 5:20:40
  Speaker 2: And except ye have charity, ye can in no wise
• 5:20:43
  Speaker 2: be saved in the Kingdom of God. Neither can ye
• 5:20:46
  Speaker 2: be saved in the Kingdom of God if ye have
• 5:20:49
  Speaker 2: not faith. Neither can ye if ye have no hope.
• 5:20:53
  Speaker 2: And if ye have no hope, ye must needs be
• 5:20:56
  Speaker 2: in despair. And despair cometh because of iniquity. And Christ
• 5:21:01
  Speaker 2: truly said unto our fathers, if ye have faith, ye
• 5:21:05
  Speaker 2: can do all things which are expedient unto me. And
• 5:21:09
  Speaker 2: now I speak unto all the ends of the earth,
• 5:21:12
  Speaker 2: that if the day cometh that the power and gifts
• 5:21:14
  Speaker 2: of God shall be done away among you, it shall
• 5:21:17
  Speaker 2: be because of unbelief, and woe be unto the children
• 5:21:21
  Speaker 2: of men. If this be the case, for there shall
• 5:21:24
  Speaker 2: be none that doeth good among you, know not one.
• 5:21:28
  Speaker 2: For if there be one among you that doeth good,
• 5:21:30
  Speaker 2: ye shall work by the power and gifts of God.
• 5:21:34
  Speaker 2: And woe unto them who shall do these things away
• 5:21:37
  Speaker 2: and die, for they die in their sins, and they
• 5:21:40
  Speaker 2: cannot be saved in the Kingdom of God. And I
• 5:21:43
  Speaker 2: speak it according to the words of Christ. And I
• 5:21:46
  Speaker 2: lie not, and I exhort you to remember these things,
• 5:21:50
  Speaker 2: for the time speedily cometh that ye shall now that
• 5:21:53
  Speaker 2: I lie not, for ye shall see me at the
• 5:21:56
  Speaker 2: bar of God, and the Lord God will say unto you.
• 5:21:59
  Speaker 2: Did I not declare my words unto you, which were
• 5:22:02
  Speaker 2: written by this man, like as one crying from the dead. Yea,
• 5:22:07
  Speaker 2: even as one speaking out of the dust. I declare
• 5:22:10
  Speaker 2: these things unto the fulfilling of the prophecies. And behold,
• 5:22:14
  Speaker 2: they shall proceed forth out of the mouth of the
• 5:22:17
  Speaker 2: Everlasting God, and his word shall hiss forth from generation
• 5:22:21
  Speaker 2: to generation. And God shall show unto you that that
• 5:22:25
  Speaker 2: which I have written is true. And again I would
• 5:22:28
  Speaker 2: exhort you that ye would come unto Christ and lay
• 5:22:32
  Speaker 2: hold upon every good gift, and touch not the evil
• 5:22:35
  Speaker 2: gift nor the unclean thing, and awake and arise from
• 5:22:40
  Speaker 2: the dust, O Jerusalem, yea, and put on thy beautiful garments, O,
• 5:22:45
  Speaker 2: daughter of Zion, and strengthen thy stakes and enlarge thy borders,
• 5:22:49
  Speaker 2: forever that thou mayest no more be confounded, that the
• 5:22:53
  Speaker 2: covenance of the Eternal Father, which he hath made unto
• 5:22:56
  Speaker 2: thee O house of Israel, may be fulfilled. YEA, come
• 5:23:01
  Speaker 2: unto Christ and be perfected in Him, and deny yourselves
• 5:23:05
  Speaker 2: of all ungodliness. And if ye shall deny yourselves of
• 5:23:09
  Speaker 2: all ungodliness and love God with all your might, mind
• 5:23:13
  Speaker 2: and strength, then is His grace sufficient for you, that
• 5:23:17
  Speaker 2: by His grace ye may be perfect in Christ. And
• 5:23:20
  Speaker 2: if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ,
• 5:23:23
  Speaker 2: ye can in no wise deny the power of God.
• 5:23:27
  Speaker 2: And again, if ye, by the grace of God, are
• 5:23:30
  Speaker 2: perfect in Christ and deny not his power, then are
• 5:23:33
  Speaker 2: ye sanctified in Christ by the grace of God, through
• 5:23:37
  Speaker 2: the shedding of the Blood of Christ, which is in
• 5:23:39
  Speaker 2: the covenant of the Father. Unto the remission of your sins,
• 5:23:43
  Speaker 2: that ye become wholly without spot. And now I bid
• 5:23:48
  Speaker 2: unto all farewell. I soon go to rest in the
• 5:23:51
  Speaker 2: Paradise of God, until my spirit and body shall again reunite,
• 5:23:57
  Speaker 2: and I am brought forth triumphant through the air to
• 5:23:59
  Speaker 2: me you before the pleasing bar of the Great Jehovah,
• 5:24:04
  Speaker 2: the eternal judge of both quick and dead, Amen, and
• 5:24:10
  Speaker 2: of Moroni, Chapters eight through ten.
