  Speaker 1: Chapter twenty four. For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: and will yet choose Israel and set them in their
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: own land, and the strangers shall be joined with them,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and they shall cleave to the House of Jacob. And
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the people shall take them and bring them to their
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: place Yea, from far unto the ends of the earth.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: And they shall return to their lands of promise, and
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the House of Israel shall possess them, and the land
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: of the Lord shall be for servants and handmaids. And
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: they shall take them captives unto whom they were captives,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: and they shall rule over their oppressors. And it shall
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: come to pass in that day that the Lord shall
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: give thee rest from thy sorrow and from thy fear,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: and from the hard bondage, wherein thou wast may to serve.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: And it shall come to pass in that day that
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: thou shalt take up this provert against the King of Babylon.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: And say, how hath the presser ceased, the Golden city ceased?
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: The Lord hath broken the staff of the wicked, the
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: scepters of the rulers. He who smote the people in
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: wrath with a continual stroke. He that ruled the nations
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: in anger is persecuted, and none hindereth. The whole world
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: is at rest and is quiet. They break forth into
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: singing Yea. The fir trees rejoice at thee, and also
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the cedars of Lebanon, saying, since thou art laid down,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: no feller is come up against us. Hell from beneath
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: is moved for thee to meet thee. At thy coming.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: It stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: chief ones of the earth. It hath raised up from
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: their thrones, all the kings of the nations. All they
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: shall speak and say unto thee. Art thou also become
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: weak as we art, Thou become like unto us. Thy
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: pomp is brought down to the grave. The noise of
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: thy viles is not heard. The worm is spread under thee,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and the worms cover thee. How art thou fallen from heaven?
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: O Lucifer's Son of the Morning. Art thou cut down
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: to the ground, which did weaken the nations? For set
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: in thy heart, I will ascend into heaven. I will
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: exalt my throne above the stars of God. I will
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: sit also upon the mount of the congregation in the
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: sides of the north, I will ascend above the heights
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: of the clouds. I will be like the most high.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: sides of the pit. They that see THEE shall narrowly
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: look upon THEE, and shall consider THEE, and shall say,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: is this the man that made the earth to tremble,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: that did shake kingdoms, and made the world as a wilderness,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: and destroyed the cities thereof, And opened not the house
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: of his prisoners. All the kings of the nations. Yea,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: all of them lie in glory, every one of them
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: in his own house. But thou art cast out of
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: thy grave like an abominable branch, and the remnant of
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: those that are slain, thrust through with a sword that
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: go down to the stones of the pit, as a
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: carcass trodden under feet. Thou shalt not be joined with
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: them in burial. Because thou hast destroyed thy land and
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: slain thy people. The seed of evil doers shall never
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: be renowned. Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquities
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: of their fathers, that they do not rise nor possess
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: For I will rise up against them, Saith, the Lord
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: of Hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name and remnant,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: and son and nephew. Saith the Lord. I will also
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: make it a possession for the bittern and pools of water,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, Saith,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the Lord of Hosts. The Lord of Hosts hath sworn, saying,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: surely as I have thought, so shall it come to
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: pass as I have proposed. So it shall stand that
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I will bring the Assyrian in my land, and upon
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: my mountains tread him under foot. Then shall his yoke
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: depart from off them, and his burden depart from off
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: their shoulders. This is the purpose that is purposed upon
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: the whole earth, And this is the hand that is
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: stretched out upon all nations. For the Lord of Hosts
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: hath proposed. And who shall disannull and his hand is
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: stretched out, and who shall turn it back? In the
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: year that King Ahaz died, was this burden? Rejoice not
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: thou whole Palestine, because the rod of him that smote
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: thee is broken. For out of the serpent's roots shall
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: come forth a cockatrice, and his fruits shall be a
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: fiery flying serpent, and the first born of the poor
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: And I will kill thy route with famine, and he
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: shall slay thy remnant howl O gate, cry, o city,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Thou whole Palestine art dissolved. For there shall come from
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the north o smoke, and none shall be alone in
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: his appointed times? What shall then answer the messengers of
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the nations that the Lord hath founded Zion, and the
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: poor of his people shall trust in it. Chapter twenty five. Now, I, Nephi,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: do speak somewhat concerning the words which I have written,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: which have been spoken by the mouth of Isaiah. For behold,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Isaiah spake many things which were hard for many of
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: my people to understand, for they know not concerning the
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: manner of prophesying among the Jews. For I, Nephi, I
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: have not taught them many things concerning the manner of
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: the Jews, for their works were works of darkness, and
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: their doings were doings of abominations. Wherefore I write unto
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: my people all those things that shall receive hereafter these
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: things which I write, that they may know the judgments
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: of God, that they may come upon all nations according
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: to the word which he hath spoken. Wherefore hearken o
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: my people, which are of the House of Israel, and
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: give ear unto my words. For because the words of
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Isaiah are not plain unto you, Nevertheless, they are plain
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: unto all those that are filled with the spirit of prophecy.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: But I give unto you a prophecy according to the
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: spirit which is in me. Wherefore I shall prophesy according
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: to the plainness which hath been with me from the
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: time that I came out from Jerusalem with my father.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: For behold, my soul delighteth in plainness unto my people,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: that they may learn. Yea, in my soul delighteth in
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: the words of Isaiah. For I came out of Jerusalem,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: and my eyes hath beheld the things of the Jews.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: And I know that the Jews do understand the things
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: of the prophets. And there is none other people that
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: understand the things which were spoken unto the Jews like
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: unto them, Save it be that they are taught after
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the manner of the things of the Jews. But behold,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I need if I have not taught my children after
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the manner of the Jews. But behold, I of myself
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: have dwelt at Jerusalem. Wherefore I know concerning the regions
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: round about. And I have made mention unto my children
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: concerning the judgments of God, which hath come to pass
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: among the Jews, unto my children, according to all that
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: which Isaiah hath spoken. And I do not write them.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: But behold, I proceed with mine own prophecy, according to
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: my plainness, in the which I know that no man
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: can err. Nevertheless, in the days that the prophecies of
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Isaiah shall be fulfilled, men shall know of a surety
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: at the times when they shall come to pass. Wherefore
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: they are of worth unto the children of men. And
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: he that supposeth that they are not unto them, will
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I speak particularly and confine the words unto mine own people,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: For I know that they shall be of great worth
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: unto them in the last days, for in that day
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: shall they understand them. Wherefore for their good have I
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: written them. And as one generation hath been destroyed among
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the Jews because of iniquity, even so have they been
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: destroyed from generation to generation according to their iniquities. And
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: never hath any of them been destroyed save it whereforetold
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: them by the prophets of the Lord. Wherefore it hath
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: been told them concerning the destruction which should come upon
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: them immediately after my father left Jerusalem. Nevertheless, they harden
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: their hearts, and according to my prophecy, they have been destroyed,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: save it be those which are carried away captive into Babylon.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: And now this I speak because of the Spirit which
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: is in me. And notwithstanding they have been carried away,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: they shall return again and possess the land of Jerusalem.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Wherefore they shall be restored again to the land of
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: their inheritance. But behold, they shall have wars and rumors
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: of wars. And when the day cometh that the only
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: begotten of the Father, Yea, even the Father of heaven
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: and of Earth, shall manifest himself unto them in the flesh. Behold,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: they will reject him because of their iniquities and the
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: hardness of their hearts and the stiffness of their necks.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: For behold, they will crucify him. And after he is
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: laid in a sepulcher for the space of three days,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: he shall rise from the dead with healing in his wings.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: And all those who shall believe on his name shall
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: be saved in the Kingdom of God. Wherefore my soul
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: delighteth to prophesy concerning him, for I have seen his day,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: and my heart doth magnify his holy name. And behold,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: it shall come to pass that after the Messiah Hath
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: risen from the dead and hath manifested himself, unto his people,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: unto as many as will believe on his name. Behold,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Jerusalem shall be destroyed again, for woe unto them that
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: fight against God God and the people of his Church.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Wherefore the Jews shall be scattered among all nations Yea.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: And also Babylon shall be destroyed. Wherefore the Jews shall
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: be scattered by other nations. And after they have been
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: scattered and the Lord God hath scourged them by other nations,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: for the space of many generations Yea, even down from
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: generation to generation, until they shall be persuaded to believe
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: in Christ, the Son of God, and the atonement which
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: is infinite for all mankind. And when that day shall come,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: that they shall believe in Christ and worship the Father
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: in his name with pure hearts and clean hands, and
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: look not forward any more for another Messiah. Then at
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: that time, the day will come that it must needs
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: be expedient that they should believe these things. And the
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Lord will set his hand again the second time to
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: restore his people from their lost and fallen state. Wherefore
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: he will proceed to do a marvelous work and a
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: wonder among the children of men. Wherefore he shall bring
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: forth his words unto them, which words shall judge them
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: at the last day, For they shall be given them
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: for a purpose of convincing them of the true Messiah,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: who was rejected by them, and unto the convincing of them,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: that they need not look forward any more for a
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: messiah to come, for there should not any come, save
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: it should be a false messiah, which should deceive the people.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: For there is save one Messiah spoken of by the prophets,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: and that Messiah is he who should be rejected of
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: the Jews. For according to the words of the prophets,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: the Messiah cometh in six hundred years from the time
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: that my father left Jerusalem. According to the words of
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: the prophets, and also the word of the Angel of God,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: his names shall be Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: And now, my brethren, I have spoken plainly that ye
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: cannot err. And as the Lord God liveth that brought
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Israel up out of the land of Egypt, and gave
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: unto Moses power that he should heal the nations after
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: they had been bitten by poisonous serpents, if they would
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: cast their eyes unto the serpent, which he did raise
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: up before them, and also gave him power that he
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: should smite the roc and the water should come forth. Yea, behold,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: I say unto you that as these things are true,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: and as the Lord God liveth, there is none other
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: name given under heaven save it be this Jesus Christ,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: of which I have spoken, whereby man can be saved.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Wherefore for this cause hath the Lord promised unto me
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: that these things which I write shall be kept and
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: preserved and handed down unto my seed from generation to generation,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: that the promise may be fulfilled unto Joseph, that his
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: seeds should never perish as long as the earth should stand.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Wherefore these sings shall go from generation to generation as
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: long as the earth shall stand, and they shall go
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: according to the will and pleasure of God. And the
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: nations who shall possess them shall be judged of them
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: according to the words which are written. For we labor
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: diligently to write to persuade our children and also our brethren,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: to believe in Christ and to be reconciled to God.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: For we know that it is by His grace that
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: we are saved. After all we can do and notwithstand.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: We believe in Christ. We keep the Law of Moses
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: and look forward with steadfastness unto Christ until the law
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: shall be fulfilled. For for this end was the law given.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Wherefore the law hath become dead unto us. And we
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: are made alive in Christ because of our faith. Yet
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: we keep the law because of the commandments, and we
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: talk of Christ. We rejoice in Christ. We preach of Christ,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: that our children may know to what source they may
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: look for a remission of their sins. Wherefore we speak
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: concerning the law, that our children may know the deadness
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: of the law, and they, knowing the deadness of the law,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: may look forward unto that life which is in Christ,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: and know for what end the law was given, And
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: after the law is fulfilled in Christ, that they need
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: not harden their hearts against Him. When the law ought
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: to be done away. And now behold, my people, ye
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: are a stiff, naked people. Wherefore I have spoken plainly
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: unto you that ye cannot miss understand. And the words
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: which I have spoken shall stand as a testimony against you,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: for they are sufficient to teach any man the right way.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: For the right way is to believe in Christ and
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: deny him not. For by denying him, ye also deny
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: the prophets and the law. And now behold, I say
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: unto you that the right way is to believe in
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Christ and deny him not. And Christ is the Holy
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: One of Israel. Wherefore ye must bow down before Him
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: and worship Him with all your might, mind and strength,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: and your whole soul. And if ye do this, ye
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: shall in no eyes be cast out. And inasmuch as
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: it shall be expedient, ye must keep the performances and
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: ordinances of God until the law shall be fulfilled, which
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: is given unto Moses chapter twenty six. And after Christ
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: shall have risen from the dead, he shall show himself
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: unto you, my children, and my beloved brethren. And the
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: words which he shall speak unto you shall be the
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: law which ye shall do. For behold, I say unto
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: you that I have beheld that many generations shall pass away,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: and there shall be great wars and contentions among my people.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: And after them Messiah shall come. There shall be signs
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: given unto my people of his birth and also of
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: his death and resurrection. And great and terrible shall that
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: day be unto the wicked, for they shall perish. And
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: they shall perish because they cast out the prophets and
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: the saints, and stone them and slay them. Wherefore the
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: cry of the blood of the saints shall ascend up
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: to God from the ground against them. Wherefore, all those
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: who are proud and that do wickedly, the day that
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: cometh shall burn them up, Saith the Lord of Hosts,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: for they shall be as stubble, And they that kill
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: the prophets and the Saints, the depths of the earth
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: shall swallow them up, Saith the Lord of Hosts. And
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the mountains shall cover them, and whirlwind shall carry them away,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: and buildings shall fall upon them and crush them to
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: pieces and grind them to powder. And they shall be
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: visited with thunderings and lightnings, and earthquakes and all manner
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: of destructions. For the fire of the a anger of
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: the Lord shall be kindled against them, and they shall
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: be as stubble, and the day that cometh shall consume them.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Saith the Lord of Hosts, o the pain and the
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: anguish of my soul for the loss of the slain
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: of my people. For I ne f I have seen it,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: and it well nigh consumeth me before the presence of
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: the Lord. But I must cry unto my God, thy
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: ways are just. But behold the righteous that hearken unto
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: the words of the prophets, and destroy them not, but
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: look forward unto Christ with steadfastness for the signs which
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: are given, notwithstanding all persecution. Behold, they are they which
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: shall not perish. But the Son of Righteousness shall appear
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: unto them, and he shall heal them, and they shall
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: have peace with Him, until three generations shall have passed away,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: and many of the fourth generations shall have passed away
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: in righteousness. And when these things have passed away, as speedy,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: destruction cometh unto my people. For notwithstanding the pains of
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: my soul, I have seen it. Wherefore I know that
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: it shall come to pass, and they they shall sell
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: themselves for naught. For for the reward of their pride
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: and their foolishness, they shall reap destruction, for because they
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: yield unto the devil and choose works of darkness rather
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: than light. Therefore they must go down to hell. For
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: the Spirit of the Lord will not always strive with man.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: And when the spirit ceaseth to strive with man, then
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: cometh speedy destruction. And this grieveth my soul. And as
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: I spake concerning the convincing of the Jews that Jesus
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: is the very Christ, it must needs be that the
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Gententiles be convinced also that Jesus is the Christ, the
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: eternal God, and that He manifesteth himself unto all those
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: who believe in Him, by the power of the Holy Ghost.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Yea unto every nation, kindred tongue, and people working mighty miracles,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: signs and wonders among the children of men, according to
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: their faith. But behold, I prophesy unto you concerning the
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: last days, concerning the days when the Lord God shall
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: bring these things forth unto the children of men. After
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: my seed and the seed of my brethren shall have
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: dwindled in unbelief and shall have been smitten by the
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: gentiles Yea. After the Lord God shall have camped against
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: them round about, and shall have laid siege against them
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: with the mount and raised forts against them. And after
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: they shall have been brought down low in the dust,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: even that they are not yet, the words of the
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: righteous shall be written, and the prayers of the faithful
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: shall be heard, And all those who have dwindled in
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: unbelief shall not be forgotten. For those who shall be
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: destroyed shall speak unto them out of the ground, and
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: their speech shall be low, out of the dust, and
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: their voice shall be as one that hath a familiar spirit.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: For the Lord God will give unto him power that
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: he may whisper concerning them, even as it were, out
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: of the ground, And their speech shall whisper out of
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: the dust. For thus saith the Lord God. They shall
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: write the things which shall be done among them, and
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: they shall be written and sealed up in a book.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: And those who have dwindled in unbelief shall not have them,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: for they seek to destroy the things of God. Wherefore,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: as those who have been destroyed have been destroyed speedily,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: and the multitude of their terrible ones shall be a
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: chaff that passeth away. Yea, Thus saith the Lord God.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: It shall be at an instant suddenly, and it shall
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: come to pass that those who have dwindled in unbelief
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: shall be smitten by the hand of the gentiles. And
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: the gentiles are lifted up in the pride of their eyes,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: and have stumbled because of the greatness of their stumbling block,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: that they have built up many churches. Nevertheless, they put
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: down the power of miracles of God and preach up
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: unto themselves, their own wisdom and their own learning, that
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: they may get gain and grind upon the face of
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: the poor. And there are many churches built up which
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: cause envyings, and strifes and malice. And there are also
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: secret combinations, even as in times of old, according to
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: the combinations of the devil. For he is the founder
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: of all these things, yea, the founder of murder and
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: works of darkness, yea. And he leadeth them by the
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: neck with a flaxen cord, until he bindeth them with
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: his strong cords forever. For behold, my beloved brethren, I
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: say unto you that the Lord God worketh not in darkness.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: He doeth not anything save it be for the benefit
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: of the world. For he loveth the world, even that
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: he layeth down his own life, that he may draw
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: all men unto him. Wherefore he commandeth none that they
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: shall not partake of his salvation. Behold, doth he cry
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: unto any, saying depart from me. Behold, I say unto you, nay,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: But he saith come unto me all ye ends of
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: the earth, by milk and honey, without money and without price. Behold,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: hath he commanded any that they should depart out of
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: the synagogues or out of the houses of worship. Behold,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: I say unto you, nay. Hath he commanded any that
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: they should not partake of his salvation. Behold, I say
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: unto you, nay, But he hath given it free for
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: all men. And he hath commanded his people that they
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: should persuade all men to repentance. Behold, hath the Lord
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: commanded any that they should not partake of his goodness. Behold,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: I say unto you, nay, but all men are privileged,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: the one like unto the other, and none are forbidden.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: He commanded that there shall be no priestcrafts. For Behold,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: priestscrafts are that men preach and set themselves up for
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: a light unto the world, that they may get gain
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: and praise of the world, but they seek not the
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: welfare of Zion. Behold, the Lord Hath forbidden this thing.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Wherefore the Lord God hath given a commandment that all
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: men should have charity, which charity is love. And except
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: they should have charity, they were nothing. Wherefore, if they
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: should have charity, they would not suffer the laborer in
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Zion to perish. But the laborer in Zion shall labor
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: for Zion. If they labor for money, they shall perish.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: And again the Lord God Hath commanded that men should
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: not murder, that they should not lie, that they should
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: not steal, that they should not take the name of
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: the Lord their god in vain, that they should not envy,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: that they should not have malice, that they should not
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: contend one with another, that they should not commit hortoms,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: and that they should do none of these things. For
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: whoso do with them shall perish. For none of these
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: iniquities come of the Lord. For he doeth that which
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: is good among the children of men, and he doeth
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: nothing save it be plain unto the children of men,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: And he inviteth them all to come unto him. And
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: partake of his goodness, and he denieth none that come
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: unto Him, black and white, bond and free, male and female.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: And he remembereth the heathen, and all are alike unto God,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: both jew and Gentile, Chapter twenty seven. But behold in
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: the last days, or in the days of the Gentiles, yea,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: behold all the nations of the Gentiles, and also the Jews,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: both those who shall come upon this land and those
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: who shall be upon other lands, yeave, And upon all
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: the lands of the earth, behold, they will be drunken
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: with iniquity and all manner of abominations. And when that
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: day shall come, that they shall be visited of the
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Lord of Hosts with thunder and with earthquake, and with
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: a great noise, and with storm, and with tempest, and
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: with the flame of devouring fire. And all the nations
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: that fight against Zion and that distress Her shall be
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: as a dream of a night vision. Yea, it shall
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: be unto them, even as a hungry man which dreameth,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: and behold, he eateth, but he awaketh and his soul
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: is empty, or liken to a thirsty man which dreameth,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: and behold he drinketh but he awaketh, and behold, he
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: is faint, and his soul hath appetite. YEA. Even so
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: shall the multitude of all the nations be that fight
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: against Mount Zion. For behold, all ye that doeth iniquity,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: stay yourselves and wonder, for ye shall cry out and
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: cry YEA. Ye shall be drunken, But not with wine,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: ye stagger, but nought with strong drink. For behold, the
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: For behold, ye have closed your eyes, and ye have
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: rejected the prophets, and your rulers and the seers. Hath
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: He covered because of your iniquity. And it shall come
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: to pass that the Lord God shall bring forth unto
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: you the words of a book, and they shall be
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: the words of them which have slumbered. And behold, the
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: book shall be sealed, and in the book shall be
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: a revelation from God from the beginning of the world
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: to the ending thereof. Wherefore, because of the things which
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: are sealed up, the things which are sealed up shall
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: not be delivered in the day of wickedness and abominations
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: of the people. Wherefore the books shall be kept from them.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: But the book shall be delivered unto a man, and
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: he shall deliver the words of the book, which are
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: the words of those who have slumbered in the dust.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: And he shall deliver these words unto another. But the
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: words which are sealed he shall not deliver. Neither shall
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: he deliver the book. For the book shall be sealed
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: by the power of God. And the revelation which was
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: sealed shall be kept in the book until the own
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: due time of the Lord, that they may come forth.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: For behold, they reveal all things from the foundation of
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: the world unto the end thereof. And the day cometh
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: that the words of the book which were sealed shall
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: be read upon the housetops, and they shall be read
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: by the power of Christ. And all things shall be
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: revealed uns to the children of men, which ever have
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: been among the children of men, and whichever will be
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: even unto the end of the earth. Wherefore, at the
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: day when the book shall be delivered unto the man
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: of whom I have spoken, the book shall be hid
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: from the eyes of the world, that the eyes of
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: none shall behold it, save it be that three witnesses
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: shall behold it by the power of God besides him,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: to whom the books shall be delivered, and they shall
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: testify to the truth of the book and the things therein.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: And there is none other which shall view it, save
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: it be a few, according to the will of God,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: to bear testimony of his word unto the children of men.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: For the Lord God hath said that the words of
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: the faithful should speak as if it were from the dead.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Wherefore the Lord God will proceed to bring forth the
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: words of the book and the mouth of as many
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: witnesses as seemeth him good will establish his word. And
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: woe be unto him that rejecteth the word of God.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: But behold, it shall come to pass that the Lord
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: God shall say, unto him to whom he shall deliver
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: the book, take these words which are not sealed, and
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: deliver them to to another, that he may show them
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: unto the learned, saying read this, I pray thee and
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: the learned shall say, bring hither the book, and I
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: will read them. And now, because of the glory of
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: the world and to get gain, will they say this,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: and not for the glory of God. And the man
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: shall say, I cannot bring the book, for it is sealed.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Then shall the learned say I cannot read it. Wherefore
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: it shall come to pass that the Lord God will
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: deliver again the book and the words thereof to him
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: that is not learned, and the man that is not
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: learned shall say, I am not learned. Then shall the
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Lord God say unto him. The learned shall not read them,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: for they have rejected them. And I am unable to
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: do mine own work. Wherefore thou shalt read the words
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: which I shall give unto THEE. Touch not the things
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: which are sealed, for I will bring them forth in
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: mine own due time. For I will show unto the
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: children of men that I am able to do mine
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: own work. Wherefore, when thou hast read the words which
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: I have commanded THEE and obtained the witnesses which I
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: have promised unto THEE, then shalt thou sill up the
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: book again and hide it up unto me, that I
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: may preserve the words which thou hast not read, until
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: I shall see fit in mine own wisdom to reveal
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: all things unto the children of men. For behold, I
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: am God, and I am a God of miracles, and
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: I will show unto the world that I am the
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: same yesterday to day and forever, and I work not
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: among the children of men, save it be according to
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: their faith. And again it shall come to pass that
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: the Lord shall say unto him that shall read the
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: words that shall be delivered him. Forasmuch as this people
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: draw near unto me with their mouth and with their
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: lips do honor me, but have removed their hearts far
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: from me, and their fear towards me is taught by
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: the precepts of men. Therefore I will proceed to do
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: a marvelous work among this people. Yea, a marvelous work
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: and a wonder for the wisdom of their wise and
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: learned shall perish, and the understanding of their prudence shall
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: be hid. And woe unto them that seek deep to
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: hide their counsel from the Lord. And their works are
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: in the dark. And they say, who seeth us? And
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: who knoweth us? And they also say, surely your turning
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: But behold, I will show unto them, saith the Lord
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: of Hosts, that I know all their works. For shall
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: the work say of him that made it he made me? Not?
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: he had no understanding. But behold saith the Lord of Hosts.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: I will show unto the children of men that it
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: is yet a very little while, And Lebanon shall be
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: be esteemed as a forest. And in that day shall
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: the deaf hear the words of the book, and the
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: out of darkness. And the meek shall also increase, and
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: their joy shall be in the Lord, and the poor
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: For assuredly as the Lord liveth, they shall see that
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: the terrible One is brought to naught, and the scorner
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: And they that make a man an offender for a word,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: and turn aside the just for a thing of naught. Therefore,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: thus saith the Lord who redeemed Abraham concerning the house
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: of Jacob. Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: his face now wax pale. But when he seeth his
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: children the work of my hands in the midst of them,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: shall they sanctify my name and sanctify the Holy One
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel. They
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: they that murmured shall learn doctrine. End of Second Nephive,
