Revelation given June, 1831
 
1 Hearken O ye people who profess my name, saith the Lord your God, for behold mine anger is kindled against the rebellious, and they shall know mine arm and mine indignation in the day of visitation and of wrath upon the nations.— And he that will not take up his cross and follow me, and keep my commandments, the same shall not be saved.
2 Behold I the Lord commandeth, and he that will not obey shall be cut off in mine own due time: and after that I have commanded and the commandment is broken, wherefore I the Lord command and revoke, as it seemeth me good; and all this to be answered upon the heads of the rebellious saith the Lord: wherefore I revoke the commandment which was given unto my servants and , and give a new commandment unto my servant , that he shall take up his journey speedily to the land of ; and my servant shall also go with him: for behold I revoke the commandment which was given unto my servants and , in consequence of the stiffneckedness of my people which are in ; and their rebellions: wherefore let my servant remain with them, and as many as will go may go, that are contrite before me, and be led by him to the land which I have appointed.
3 And again, verily I say unto you, that my servant must repent of his pride, and of his selfishness, and obey the former commandment which I have given him concerning the place upon which he lives; and if he will do this, as there shall be no divisions made upon the land, he shall be appointed still to go to the land of ; otherwise he shall receive the money which he has paid, and shall leave the place, and shall be cut off out of my church, saith the Lord God of hosts: and though the heaven and the earth pass away, these words shall not pass away, but shall be fulfilled.
