Revelation, circa 7 March 1831 [D&C 45]

Wherefore come ye unto it With him that cometh  I will reason as with men of old in days of old And  I will shew unto you my strong reasoning Wherefore hearken  ye together & let me shew it unto you even my wisdom  the wisdom of him whom ye say is the God of Enoch &  his Brethren who were seperated from the Earth & were  reserved unto myself a City reserved untill a day of  righteousness shall come a day which was sought for by  all Holy men & they found it not Because of wickedness  & abominations & confessed that they were strangers &  pilgrims on the Earth but obtained a promise that  they should find it & see it in their flesh wherefore  hearken & I will reason with you & I will speak  unto you & prophecy as unto men in days of old & I  will shew it plainly as I shewed it unto my Deciples  as I stood before them in the flesh & spake unto them  saying <as> ye have asked of me concerning these signs of my  coming in the day when I shall come in my glory  in the clouds of Heaven to fulfill the promises that  I have made unto your fathers for as you have  looked upon the long absence of your spirits from  your bodies to be a bondage I will shew unto  you how the day of redemption shall come & also  the restoration of the scattered Israel & now ye behold  this temple which is in Jerusalem which ye call the  House of God & your enemies say that this House shall  never fall but verily I say unto you that desolation  shall come upon this generation as a thief in the night  And this people shall be destroyed & scattered among all  Nations & this Temple which ye now see shall be thrown  down that there shall not be left an stone upon another  & it shall come to pass that this generation of Jews  shall not pass away [until every] desolation which I have told you  concerning them shall come to pass ye say that ye  know that the end of the World cometh ye say also  that ye know that the Heavens & the Earth shall pass away [p. 72]
