His throne is the heavens, his life time is all
OF eternity n0s0, and eternity then;
His union is power, and none stays his hand
The Alpha Omega, for ever: Amen
For thus saith the Lord, in the spirit of TRUTH
~ am merciiul gracious: and good unto those
My delight is to honor the SAINTS with repose
g. That serve in righteousness true to the end;
Eternal Is their glory, and great their reward;
I'll surely reveal all my mysteries to them
The great hidden mystries in my kingdom sor'd-
T. From the council in Kolob, to time on the earth.
And for ages to come unto them will show
My pleasure and will, what my kingdom will do;
Eternitys wonders they truly shall know.
8 Great Things Of the future I'll show unto them,
Yea, things OF the vast generations to rise;
For their wisdom and glory shall be very great,
And their pure understanding extend to the Skies
o. And before them the wisdom of wise shall
And the nice understanding Of prudent ones fail
For the light Of my spirit shall light mine elect,
And thstruth is SO mighty 7 will ever prevail!
TO- And the secrets and plans of my will I'll reveal
The sanctfrd pleasures when earth is renewd
What the eye hath not seen the hath yet heard
Nor the heart OF the natural man ever hath view1
II. !. Joseph, the prophet, in spirit beheld,
And the eyes of the inner man truly did
Eternity sketchd in a vision from God,
Ofwhat was, and now is, and yet 10 to be.
-. Those things which the Father ordained of Old
Before the world was, or a system had
Through Jesus the Maker and Savior Of all;
The only begotten, (Messiah) his SON.
IS. OF whom bear record, as all prophets have
And the record bear is the fulness-yes even
The truth ofthe gospel of Jesus-the Christ,
With whom convers'd, in the vision OF heavn.
a. For while in the act of translating his word,
Which the Lord in his grace had appointed to me,
came to the gospel recorded by john
Chapter fifth and the twenty-nnth verse, which you
Which given follows
L" Speaking ofthe resurrection Of 1.-THE dead
Concerning those who shall hear the voice Of the
And shall come forth -
They who have done good in the resurrection of the
And they who have done evil in the resurrection of
the unjust"
Is. marveld at these rcsurrections indeed!
For it came unto me by the spirit direct
And while did mediate what it all meant,
The Lord touchd the eyes OF my own intellect
Is. Hosanna forever they opend anon,
And the glory OF God shore around where was;
And there was the Son, at the Fathers right hand,
In afuiines, OF glory, and holy applause.
II. beheld round the throne holy angels and hosts
And sanctifed beings from worlds that have been,
In holiness worshipping God and the Lamb,
Forever and ever amen and amen
Is. And now after all ofthe proofs made of him,
By witnesses truly, by whom he was known,
This is mine, last Of all, that he lives; yea he lives
Aud sits at the right hand of God on his throne.
49, And heard great voice. bearing record from heav
He's tie Saviour, and only begotten of God
BY him. OF him. and through him. the worlds were all
Even all that career in the heavens 30 broad.
90 Whose inhabitants too from the first to the last
Are savd by the very same Savior Of ours;
And Of course begotten Gods daughters and sons
By the very same truths, and the very same pow'rs
81 And saw and bear record of warfare in heav,n;
For an angel Of light In authority great,
Rebeld against Jesus, and sought for his pow'r,
But was thrust down to woe from his Godifed state
a. And the heavens all wept and the tears dropd like
That Lucifer son of the morning, had fell.
Yea, is fallen is falln and become, oh, alas!
The son of Perdition the devil of hell!
% And while was yet in the spirit of truth,
The commandment was, write ye the vision all out
For Satan, old serpent, the DEVILS for war;
And yet will encompass the saints round about
"a. And saw too the suff ring and misry of those,
Overcome by the devil, in warfare and hght)
In hell fire, and vengeance, the doom Of the damnd;
For the Lord said, the vision is further SO write.
Who know Of my power, and partake Of the same
And suffer themselves thai they be overcome
By the power OF Satan despisDg my name;
20. Defyng my power and denying the truth
They are they-of the world, Of men, most fororn,
The sons Of Perdition Of whom, ah ! say,
II were better for them had they never been born
81. They're vessels of wrath, and dshonor to God,
Doomd to suffer his wrath, in the regions OF woe,
Through the terrific night of eternitys round,
With the devil and ell of his angels below:
%. OF whom it is said, no forgiveness is giv'n.
In this world alas nor the world that's to come
For they have denied the spirit of God
After having receivd it; and mis'ry's their DOOM
90. And denying the only begotten of God
And cruelty him to tn mselves, as they do,
And openly put him 10 shame in THEN flesh,
BY gospel they cannot repentance renew
3d. They they, who must to the great lake Of fire,
Which burneth with birthstone yet never consumes,
And dwell with the devil, and angels OF his,
While eternity goes and eternity comes
They are they who must groan through the great sc.
cond death,
And are not redeemed in the time Of the Lord;
While all the rest are through the triumph OF Christ,
Made partakers of grace by the power Of his word.
30. The myst'ry of godliness truly is great;
The past and the present, and what is to be;
Aud this is the gospel-glad tidings to all,
Which the voice from the heavens bore record to me-
ss. That he came to the world in the middle oftime
To ley down his life for his friends and his foes,
And bear away sin as a mission OF love
And sanctfy earth for blessed repose.
IT'S decreed that he'll save all the work Of his hands,
And purify earth for the sabbath Of rest,
By the agent Of fire, as it was by the flood
as. The savior will save all his Father did give,
Even all that he gave in the regions abroad,
savethe Sons of Perdition. They re lost, ever lost
And can return to the presence Of God
So They they who reign with the devil In hell
In eternity now, and eternity then,
Where the deth not and the fire is not qusnchd
And the punishment still is eternal Amen.
81. And which is the torment apostates receive,
But the end, or the place whore the torment began,
Save to them who are made to partake Of the ssme,
Was never nor will be, revealed unto man.
3s. Yet God shows by vision glimpse of their fate,
And straightwsy he closes the scene that shown
So the width or the depth, or them sery thereof
Save to those that partske forever unknown.
80. And while bordering, the vision closed,
And the voice said to me, write the vsion--for 10
lis the end Of tbs scene ofthe sufferings ofthose
Who remain filthy still in their anguish and woe
40. And agnin bear record Of heavenly things,
Where virtues tho value above all that's priced
OF the truth Of the gospel concerning the just,
That rise in the first resurrection Of Christ.
Al Who received and believed, and repented Likewise,
And then were beptised, a n man always was,
Who asked and received a remission Of sin,
And honored the kingdom by keeping Its laws
AZ Being buried in water AZ Jesus had been,
And keeping the whole Of his holy commands,
They rt ceivcI the gift OF the spirit OF truth,
BY the ordinances truly oflsying on hands.
