Verily! Verily! I say unto you darkness covereth the Earth and groes darkness the minds of the people, and all flesh has become corrupt before my face! behold vengenace cometh speedily upon the inhabitants of the Earth. A day of wrath! A day of burning! A day of desolation! of weeping! of morning and of lemantation! and as a whirlwind it shall come upon all the face of the Earth saith the Lord. And upon my house shall it begin; and forom my house shall it go forth saith the Lord, first upon those among you saith the Lord who have professed to know my name <and have not known me> and have blasphemed against me in the midst of my house saith the Lord. therefore see to it that ye trouble not yourselves concerning the affairs of my in this place saith the Lord. but purify your hear<t>s before me and then go ye into all the world and preach my gospel unto every creature who has not received it, and he that believeth and is shall be [saved And that believeth not]and is not baptised shall be damned. for unto you (the ) and those (the ) who are appointed with you to be your councilors and your leaders is the power of this given for the last days and for the last last time in the which is the of the fulness of times, which power you hold in connection with all those who have received a dispensation at any time from the begining of the creation. for verily I say unto you the of the despensation which ye have received have come down from the Fathers. and last of all being sent down from Heaven unto you. verily I say unto you, behold how great is your calling; clense your hearts, and your garments, lest the blood of this generation be required at your hands, be faithful untill I come for I come quickly and my reword is with me to recompence every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, Amen.— [p. [2]]
