CHAPTER LII.
 
A Revelation to , , and , given in , Ohio, March, 1831.
HEARKEN unto my word, my servant , and , and , for behold, verily I say unto you, that I give unto you a commandment, that you shall go and preach my gospel, which ye have received, even as ye have received it, unto the Shakers.
2 Behold I say unto you, that they desire to know the truth in part, but not all, for they are not right before me, and must needs repent:
3 Wherefore I send you, my servants and , to preach the gospel unto them; and my servant shall be ordained unto this work, that he may reason with them, not according to that which he has received of them, but according to that which shall be taught him by you, my servants, and by so doing I will bless him, otherwise he shall not prosper:
4 Thus saith the Lord, for I am God and have sent mine only begotten Son into the world, for the redemption of the world, and have decreed, that he that receiveth him shall be saved, and he that receiveth him not, shall be damned:
5 And they have done unto the Son of man even as they listed;
6 And he has taken his power on the right hand of his glory, and now reigneth in the heavens, and will reign till he descends on the earth to put all enemies under his feet:
7 Which time is nigh at hand: I the Lord God have spoken it:
8 But the hour and the day no man knoweth, [p. 116]
