D&C 83:0 Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Independence,
Missouri, April 30, 1832. This revelation was received as the Prophet sat in
council with his brethren. --Claims of women and children for support upon
their husbands and fathers--Claims of widows and orphans upon the Church.
D&C 83:1 Verily, thus saith the Lord, in addition to the laws of the church
concerning women and children, those who belong to the church, who have lost
their husbands or fathers:
D&C 83:2 Women have claim on their husbands for the maintenance, until their
husbands are taken; and if they are not found transgressors they shall have
fellowship in the church.
D&C 83:3 And if they are not faithful they shall not have fellowship in the
church; yet they may remain upon their inheritances according to the laws of
the land.
D&C 83:4 All children have claim upon their parents for their maintenance
until they are of age.
D&C 83:5 And after that, they have claim upon the church, or in other words,
upon the Lord's storehouse, if their parents have not wherewith to give them
inheritances.
D&C 83:6 And the storehouse shall be kept by the consecrations of the church;
and widows and orphans shall be provided for, as also the poor. Amen.
D&C 84:0 Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Kirtland,
Ohio, September 22 and 23, 1832. During the month of September, Elders had
begun to return from their missions in the eastern States, and to make
reports of their labors. It was while they were together in this season of
joy that the following communication was received. The Prophet designates it
a Revelation on Priesthood. See History of the Church, vol. 1, p. 286. --A
Temple to be built in the land of Zion during this generation--The line of
the Holy Priesthood from Moses back to Adam--Relation between the Holy
Priesthood and the Lesser Priesthood--Bearers of these two Priesthoods called
the sons of Moses and of Aaron respectively--Blessings and privileges of
those who attain to these Priesthoods--The bondage of sin--The new and
everlasting covenant--Gifts of the spirit specified--The Lord calls his
servants, friends--Missionary service imperative--Plagues impending because
of wickedness.
D&C 84:1 A revelation of Jesus Christ unto his servant Joseph Smith, Jun.,
and six elders, as they united their hearts and lifted their voices on high.
D&C 84:2 Yea, the word of the Lord concerning his church, established in the
last days for the restoration of his people, as he has spoken by the mouth of
his prophets, and for the gathering of his saints to stand upon Mount Zion,
which shall be the city of New Jerusalem.
D&C 84:3 Which city shall be built, beginning at the temple lot, which is
appointed by the finger of the Lord, in the western boundaries of the State
of Missouri, and dedicated by the hand of Joseph Smith, Jun., and others with
whom the Lord was well pleased.
D&C 84:4 Verily this is the word of the Lord, that the city New Jerusalem
shall be built by the gathering of the saints, beginning at this place, even
the place of the temple, which temple shall be reared in this generation.
D&C 84:5 For verily this generation shall not all pass away until an house
shall be built unto the Lord, and a cloud shall rest upon it, which cloud
shall be even the glory of the Lord, which shall fill the house.
D&C 84:6 And the sons of Moses, according to the Holy Priesthood which he
received under the hand of his father-in-law, Jethro.
D&C 84:7 And Jethro received it under the hand of Caleb;
D&C 84:8 And Caleb received it under the hand of Elihu;
D&C 84:9 And Elihu under the hand of Jeremy;
D&C 84:10 And Jeremy under the hand of Gad;
D&C 84:11 And Gad under the hand of Esaias;
D&C 84:12 And Esaias received it under the hand of God.
D&C 84:13 Esaias also lived in the days of Abraham, and was blessed of him--
D&C 84:14 Which Abraham received the priesthood from Melchizedek, who
received it through the lineage of his fathers, even till Noah;
D&C 84:15 And from Noah till Enoch, through the lineage of their fathers;
D&C 84:16 And from Enoch to Abel, who was slain by conspiracy of his brother,
who received the priesthood by the commandments of God, by the hand of his
father Adam, who was the first man--
D&C 84:17 Which priesthood continueth in the church of God in all
generations, and is without beginning of days or end of years.
D&C 84:18 And the Lord confirmed a priesthood also upon Aaron and his seed,
throughout all their generations, which priesthood also continueth and
abideth forever with the priesthood which is after the holiest order of God.
D&C 84:19 And this greater priesthood administereth the gospel and holdeth
the key of the mysteries of the kingdom, even the key of the knowledge of
God.
D&C 84:20 Therefore, in the ordinances thereof, the power of godliness is
manifest.
D&C 84:21 And without the ordinances thereof, and the authority of
priesthood, the power of godliness is not manifest unto men in the flesh;
D&C 84:22 For without this no man can see the face of God, even the Father,
and live.
D&C 84:23 Now this Moses plainly taught to the children of Israel in the
wilderness, and sought diligently to sanctify his people that they might
behold the face of God;
D&C 84:24 But they hardened their hearts and could not endure his presence;
therefore, the Lord in his wrath, for his anger was kindled against them,
swore that they should not enter into his rest while in the wilderness, which
rest is the fulness of his glory.
D&C 84:25 Therefore, he took Moses out of their midst, and the Holy
Priesthood also;
D&C 84:26 And the lesser priesthood continued, which priesthood holdeth the
key of the ministering of angels and the preparatory gospel;
D&C 84:27 Which gospel is the gospel of repentance and of baptism, and the
remission of sins, and the law of carnal commandments, which the Lord in his
wrath caused to continue with the house of Aaron among the children of Israel
until John, whom God raised up, being filled with the Holy Ghost from his
mother's womb.
D&C 84:28 For he was baptized while he was yet in his childhood, and was
ordained by the angel of God at the time he was eight days old unto this
power, to overthrow the kingdom of the Jews, and to make straight the way of
the Lord before the face of his people, to prepare them for the coming of the
Lord, in whose hand is given all power.
D&C 84:29 And again, the offices of elder and bishop are necessary appendages
belonging unto the high priesthood.
D&C 84:30 And again, the offices of teacher and deacon are necessary
appendages belonging to the lesser priesthood, which priesthood was confirmed
upon Aaron and his sons.
D&C 84:31 Therefore, as I said concerning the sons of Moses--for the sons of
Moses and also the sons of Aaron shall offer an acceptable offering and
sacrifice in the house of the Lord, which house shall be built unto the Lord
in this generation, upon the consecrated spot as I have appointed--
D&C 84:32 And the sons of Moses and of Aaron shall be filled with the glory
of the Lord, upon Mount Zion in the Lord's house, whose sons are ye; and also
many whom I have called and sent forth to build up my church.
D&C 84:33 For whoso is faithful unto the obtaining these two priesthoods of
which I have spoken, and the magnifying their calling, are sanctified by the
Spirit unto the renewing of their bodies.
D&C 84:34 They become the sons of Moses and of Aaron and the seed of Abraham,
and the church and kingdom, and the elect of God.
D&C 84:35 And also all they who receive this priesthood receive me, saith the
Lord;
D&C 84:36 For he that receiveth my servants receiveth me;
D&C 84:37 And he that receiveth me receiveth my Father;
D&C 84:38 And he that receiveth my Father receiveth my Father's kingdom;
therefore all that my Father hath shall be given unto him.
D&C 84:39 And this is according to the oath and covenant which belongeth to
the priesthood.
D&C 84:40 Therefore, all those who receive the priesthood, receive this oath
and covenant of my Father, which he cannot break, neither can it be moved.
D&C 84:41 But whoso breaketh this covenant after he hath received it, and
altogether turneth therefrom, shall not have forgiveness of sins in this
world nor in the world to come.
D&C 84:42 And wo unto all those who come not unto this priesthood which ye
have received, which I now confirm upon you who are present this day, by mine
own voice out of the heavens; and even I have given the heavenly hosts and
mine angels charge concerning you.
D&C 84:43 And I now give unto you a commandment to beware concerning
yourselves, to give diligent heed to the words of eternal life.
D&C 84:44 For you shall live by every word that proceedeth forth from the
mouth of God.
D&C 84:45 For the word of the Lord is truth, and whatsoever is truth is
light, and whatsoever is light is Spirit, even the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
D&C 84:46 And the Spirit giveth light to every man that cometh into the
world; and the Spirit enlighteneth every man through the world, that
hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit.
D&C 84:47 And every one that hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit cometh
unto God, even the Father.
D&C 84:48 And the Father teacheth him of the covenant which he has renewed
and confirmed upon you, which is confirmed upon you for your sakes, and not
for your sakes only, but for the sake of the whole world.
D&C 84:49 And the whole world lieth in sin, and groaneth under darkness and
under the bondage of sin.
D&C 84:50 And by this you may know they are under the bondage of sin, because
they come not unto me.
D&C 84:51 For whoso cometh not unto me is under the bondage of sin.
D&C 84:52 And whoso receiveth not my voice is not acquainted with my voice,
and is not of me.
D&C 84:53 And by this you may know the righteous from the wicked, and that
the whole world groaneth under sin and darkness even now.
D&C 84:54 And your minds in times past have been darkened because of your
unbelief, and because you have treated lightly the things you have received--
D&C 84:55 Which vanity and unbelief have brought the whole church under
condemnation.
D&C 84:56 And this condemnation resteth upon the children of Zion, even all.
D&C 84:57 And they shall remain under this condemnation until they repent and
remember the new covenant, even the Book of Mormon and the former
commandments which I have given them, not only to say, but to do according to
that which I have written--
D&C 84:58 That they may bring forth fruit meet for their Father's kingdom;
otherwise there remaineth a scourge and judgment to be poured out upon the
children of Zion.
D&C 84:59 For shall the children of the kingdom pollute my holy land? Verily,
I say unto you. Nay.
D&C 84:60 Verily, verily, I say unto you who now hear my words, which are my
voice, blessed are ye inasmuch as you receive these things;
D&C 84:61 For I will forgive you of your sins with this commandment--that you
remain steadfast in your minds in solemnity and the spirit of prayer, in
bearing testimony to all the world of those things which are communicated
unto you.
D&C 84:62 Therefore, go ye into all the world; and unto whatsoever place ye
cannot go ye shall send, that the testimony may go from you into all the
world unto every creature.
D&C 84:63 And as I said unto mine apostles, even so I say unto you, for you
are mine apostles, even God's high priests; ye are they whom my Father hath
given me; ye are my friends.
D&C 84:64 Therefore, as I said unto mine apostles I say unto you again, that
every soul who believeth on your words, and is baptized by water for the
remission of sins, shall receive the Holy Ghost.
D&C 84:65 And these signs shall follow them that believe--
D&C 84:66 In my name they shall do many wonderful works;
D&C 84:67 In my name they shall cast out devils;
D&C 84:68 In my name they shall heal the sick;
D&C 84:69 In my name they shall open the eyes of the blind, and unstop the
ears of the deaf;
D&C 84:70 And the tongue of the dumb shall speak;
D&C 84:71 And if any man shall administer poison unto them it shall not hurt
them;
D&C 84:72 And the poison of a serpent shall not have power to harm them.
D&C 84:73 But a commandment I give unto them, that they shall not boast
themselves of these things, neither speak them before the world; for these
things are given unto you for your profit and for your salvation.
D&C 84:74 Verily, verily, I say unto you, they who believe not on your words,
and are not baptized in water in my name, for the remission of their sins,
that they may receive the Holy Ghost, shall be damned, and shall not come
into my Father's kingdom where my Father and I am.
D&C 84:75 And this revelation unto you, and commandment, is in force from
this very hour upon all the world, and the gospel is unto all who have not
received it.
D&C 84:76 But, verily I say unto all those to whom the kingdom has been
given--from you it must be preached unto them, that they shall repent of
their former evil works; for they are to be upbraided for their evil hearts
of unbelief, and your brethren in Zion for their rebellion against you at the
time I sent you.
D&C 84:77 And again I say unto you, my friends, for from henceforth I shall
call you friends, it is expedient that I give unto you this commandment, that
ye become even as my friends in days when I was with them, traveling to
preach the gospel in my power;
D&C 84:78 For I suffered them not to have purse or scrip, neither two coats.
D&C 84:79 Behold, I send you out to prove the world, and the laborer is
worthy of his hire.
D&C 84:80 And any man that shall go and preach this gospel of the kingdom,
and fail not to continue faithful in all things, shall not be weary in mind,
neither darkened, neither in body, limb, nor joint; and a hair of his head
shall not fall to the ground unnoticed. And they shall not go hungry, neither
athirst.
D&C 84:81 Therefore, take no thought for the morrow, for what ye shall eat,
or what ye shall drink, or wherewithal ye shall be clothed.
D&C 84:82 For, consider the lilies of the field, how they grow, they toil
not, neither do they spin; and the kingdoms of the world, in all their glory,
are not arrayed like one of these.
D&C 84:83 For your Father, who is in heaven, knoweth that you have need of
all these things.
D&C 84:84 Therefore, let the morrow take thought for the things of itself.
D&C 84:85 Neither take ye thought beforehand what ye shall say; but treasure
up in your minds continually the words of life, and it shall be given you in
the very hour that portion that shall be meted unto every man.
D&C 84:86 Therefore, let no man among you, for this commandment is unto all
the faithful who are called of God in the church unto the ministry, from this
hour take purse or scrip, that goeth forth to proclaim this gospel of the
kingdom.
D&C 84:87 Behold, I send you out to reprove the world of all their
unrighteous deeds, and to teach them of a judgment which is to come.
D&C 84:88 And whoso receiveth you, there I will be also, for I will go before
your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall
be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up.
D&C 84:89 Whoso receiveth you receiveth me; and the same will feed you, and
clothe you, and give you money.
D&C 84:90 And he who feeds you, or clothes you, or gives you money, shall in
nowise lose his reward.
D&C 84:91 And he that doeth not these things is not my disciple; by this ye
may know my disciples.
D&C 84:92 He that receiveth you not, go away from him alone by yourselves,
and cleanse your feet even with water, pure water, whether in heat or in
cold, and bear testimony of it unto your Father which is in heaven, and
return not again unto that man.
D&C 84:93 And in whatsoever village or city ye enter, do likewise.
D&C 84:94 Nevertheless, search diligently and spare not; and wo unto that
house, or that village or city that rejecteth you, or your words, or your
testimony of me;
D&C 84:95 Wo, I say again, unto that house, or that village or city that
rejecteth you, or your words, or your testimony of me;
D&C 84:96 For I, the Almighty, have laid my hands upon the nations, to
scourge them for their wickedness.
D&C 84:97 And plagues shall go forth, and they shall not be taken from the
earth until I have completed my work, which shall be cut short in
righteousness--
D&C 84:98 Until all shall know me, who remain, even from the least unto the
greatest, and shall be filled with the knowledge of the Lord, and shall see
eye to eye, and shall lift up their voice, and with the voice together sing
this new song, saying:
D&C 84:99 The Lord hath brought again Zion; The Lord hath redeemed his
people, Israel, According to the election of grace, Which was brought to pass
by faith And covenant of their fathers.
D&C 84:100 The Lord hath redeemed his people; And Satan is bound and time is
no longer. The Lord hath gathered all things in one. The Lord hath brought
down Zion from above. The Lord hath brought up Zion from beneath.
D&C 84:101 The earth hath travailed and brought forth her strength; And truth
is established in her bowels; And the heavens have smiled upon her; And she
is clothed with the glory of her God; For he stands in the midst of his
people.
D&C 84:102 Glory, and honor, and power, and might, Be ascribed to our God;
for he is full of mercy, Justice, grace and truth, and peace, Forever and
ever, Amen.
D&C 84:103 And again, verily, verily, I say unto you, it is expedient that
every man who goes forth to proclaim mine everlasting gospel, that inasmuch
as they have families, and receive money by gift, that they should send it
unto them or make use of it for their benefit, as the Lord shall direct them,
for thus it seemeth me good.
D&C 84:104 And let all those who have not families, who receive money, send
it up unto the bishop in Zion, or unto the bishop in Ohio, that it may be
consecrated for the bringing forth of the revelations and the printing
thereof, and for establishing Zion.
D&C 84:105 And if any man shall give unto any of you a coat, or a suit, take
the old and cast it unto the poor, and go on your way rejoicing.
D&C 84:106 And if any man among you be strong in the Spirit, let him take
with him him that is weak, that he may be edified in all meekness, that he
may became strong also.
D&C 84:107 Therefore, take with you those who are ordained unto the lesser
priesthood, and send them before you to make appointments, and to prepare the
way, and to fill appointments that you yourselves are not able to fill.
D&C 84:108 Behold, this is the way that mine apostles, in ancient days, built
up my church unto me.
D&C 84:109 Therefore, let every man stand in his own office, and labor in his
own calling; and let not the head say unto the feet it hath no need of the
feet; for without the feet how shall the body stand?
D&C 84:110 Also the body hath need of every member, that all may be edified
together, that the system may be kept perfect.
D&C 84:111 And behold, the high priests should travel, and also the elders,
and also the lesser priests; but the deacons and teachers should be appointed
to watch over the church, to be standing ministers unto the church.
D&C 84:112 And the bishop, Newel K. Whitney, also should travel round about
and among all the churches, searching after the poor to administer to their
wants by humbling the rich and the proud.
D&C 84:113 He should also employ an agent to take charge and to do his
secular business as he shall direct.
D&C 84:114 Nevertheless, let the bishop go unto the city of New York, also to
the city of Albany, also to the city of Boston, and warn the people of those
cities with the sound of the gospel, with a loud voice, of the desolation and
utter abolishment which await them if they do reject these things.
D&C 84:115 For if they do reject these things the hour of their judgment is
nigh, and their house shall be left unto them desolate.
D&C 84:116 Let him trust in me and he shall not be confounded; and a hair of
his head shall not fall to the ground unnoticed.
D&C 84:117 And verily I say unto you, the rest of my servants, go ye forth as
your circumstances permit, in your several callings, unto the great and
notable cities and villages, reproving the world in righteousness of all
their unrighteous and ungodly deeds, setting forth clearly and
understandingly the desolation of abomination in the last days.
D&C 84:118 For, with you saith the Lord Almighty, I will rend their kingdoms;
I will not only shake the earth, but the starry heavens shall tremble.
D&C 84:119 For I, the Lord, have put forth my hand to exert the powers of
heaven; ye cannot see it now, yet a little while and ye shall see it, and
know that I am, and that I will come and reign with my people.
D&C 84:120 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. Amen.
D&C 85:0 Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Kirtland,
Ohio, November 27, 1832, concerning the Saints in Zion, Missouri. See History
of the Church, vol. 1, p. 298. --Inheritances in Zion to be received through
consecration--Provision made for the assignment of inheritances among the
Saints.
D&C 85:1 It is the duty of the Lord's clerk, whom he has appointed, to keep a
history, and a general church record of all things that transpire in Zion,
and of all those who consecrate properties, and receive inheritances legally
from the bishop;
D&C 85:2 And also their manner of life, their faith, and works; and also of
the apostates who apostatize after receiving their inheritances.
D&C 85:3 It is contrary to the will and commandment of God that those who
receive not their inheritance by consecration, agreeable to his law, which he
has given, that he may tithe his people, to prepare them against the day of
vengeance and burning, should have their names enrolled with the people of
God.
D&C 85:4 Neither is their genealogy to be kept, or to be had where it may be
found on any of the records or history of the church.
D&C 85:5 Their names shall not be found, neither the names of the fathers,
nor the names of the children written in the book of the law of God, saith
the Lord of Hosts.
D&C 85:6 Yea, thus saith the still small voice, which whispereth through and
pierceth all things, and often times it maketh my bones to quake while it
maketh manifest, saying:
D&C 85:7 And it shall come to pass that I, the Lord God, will send one mighty
and strong, holding the scepter of power in his hand, clothed with light for
a covering, whose mouth shall utter words, eternal words; while his bowels
shall be a fountain of truth, to set in order the house of God, and to
arrange by lot the inheritances of the saints whose names are found, and the
names of their fathers, and of their children, enrolled in the book of the
law of God;
D&C 85:8 While that man, who was called of God and appointed, that putteth
forth his hand to steady the ark of God, shall fall by the shaft of death,
like as a tree that is smitten by the vivid shaft of lightning.
D&C 85:9 And all they who are not found written in the book of remembrance
shall find none inheritance in that day, but they shall be cut asunder, and
their portion shall be appointed them among unbelievers, where are wailing
and gnashing of teeth.
D&C 85:10 These things I say not of myself; therefore, as the Lord speaketh,
he will also fulfil.
D&C 85:11 And they who are of the High Priesthood, whose names are not found
written in the book of the law, or that are found to have apostatized, or to
have been cut off from the church, as well as the lesser priesthood, or the
members, in that day shall not find an inheritance among the saints of the
Most High;
D&C 85:12 Therefore, it shall be done unto them as unto the children of the
priest, as will be found recorded in the second chapter and sixty-first and
second verses of Ezra.
D&C 86:0 Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Kirtland,
Ohio, December 6, 1832. --Exposition of the Lord's parable concerning the
wheat and the tares--Its application to the latter days.
D&C 86:1 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you my servants, concerning the
parable of the wheat and of the tares;
D&C 86:2 Behold, verily I say, the field was the world, and the apostles were
the sowers of the seed;
D&C 86:3 And after they have fallen asleep the great persecutor of the
church, the apostate, the whore, even Babylon, that maketh all nations to
drink of her cup, in whose hearts the enemy, even Satan, sitteth to
reign--behold he soweth the tares; wherefore, the tares choke the wheat and
drive the church into the wilderness.
D&C 86:4 But behold, in the last days, even now while the Lord is beginning
to bring forth the word, and the blade is springing up and is yet tender--
D&C 86:5 Behold, verily I say unto you, the angels are crying unto the Lord
day and night, who are ready and waiting to be sent forth to reap down the
fields;
D&C 86:6 But the Lord saith unto them, pluck not up the tares while the blade
is yet tender (for verily your faith is weak), lest you destroy the wheat
also.
D&C 86:7 Therefore, let the wheat and the tares grow together until the
harvest is fully ripe; then ye shall first gather out the wheat from among
the tares, and after the gathering of the wheat, behold and lo, the tares are
bound in bundles, and the field remaineth to be burned.
D&C 86:8 Therefore, thus saith the Lord unto you, with whom the priesthood
hath continued through the lineage of your fathers--
D&C 86:9 For ye are lawful heirs, according to the flesh, and have been hid
from the world with Christ in God--
D&C 86:10 Therefore your life and the priesthood have remained, and must
needs remain through you and your lineage until the restoration of all things
spoken by the mouths of all the holy prophets since the world began.
D&C 86:11 Therefore, blessed are ye if ye continue in my goodness, a light
unto the Gentiles, and through this priesthood, a savior unto my people
Israel. The Lord hath said it. Amen.
D&C 87:0 Revelation and Prophecy on War, given through Joseph Smith the
Prophet, December 25, 1832. --Wars predicted--Division between the Northern
States and the Southern States--Great calamities in manifestation of the
chastening hand of God.
D&C 87:1 Verily, thus saith the Lord concerning the wars that will shortly
come to pass, beginning at the rebellion of South Carolina, which will
eventually terminate in the death and misery of many souls;
D&C 87:2 And the time will come that war will be poured out upon all nations,
beginning at this place.
D&C 87:3 For behold, the Southern States shall be divided against the
Northern States, and the Southern States will call on other nations, even the
nation of Great Britain, as it is called, and they shall also call upon other
nations, in order to defend themselves against other nations; and then war
shall be poured out upon all nations.
D&C 87:4 And it shall come to pass, after many days, slaves shall rise up
against their masters, who shall be marshaled and disciplined for war.
D&C 87:5 And it shall come to pass also that the remnants who are left of the
land will marshal themselves, and shall become exceedingly angry, and shall
vex the Gentiles with a sore vexation.
D&C 87:6 And thus, with the sword and by bloodshed the inhabitants of the
earth shall mourn; and with famine, and plague, and earthquake, and the
thunder of heaven, and the fierce and vivid lightning also, shall the
inhabitants of the earth be made to feel the wrath, and indignation, and
chastening hand of an Almighty God, until the consumption decreed hath made a
full end of all nations;
D&C 87:7 That the cry of the saints, and of the blood of the saints, shall
cease to come up into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth, from the earth, to be
avenged of their enemies.
D&C 87:8 Wherefore, stand ye in holy places, and be not moved, until the day
of the Lord come; for behold, it cometh quickly, saith the Lord. Amen.
D&C 88:0 Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Kirtland,
Ohio, December 27, 1832. Designated by the Prophet, the Olive Leaf. See
History of the Church, vol. 1, p. 302. --Ministrations of the Comforter--The
light of truth is the light of Christ--The spirit and the body constitute the
soul--Parable of the man sending his servants into the field and visiting
them in turn--Search for the truth through study and prayer
enjoined--Testimony of the Elders to be followed by that calamity--Scenes
incident to the Lord's coming--The angels sounding their trumpets in turn as
appointed--Duties of the Presidency of the School of the Prophets--The
ordinance of washing of feet.
D&C 88:1 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you who have assembled yourselves
together to receive his will concerning you:
D&C 88:2 Behold, this is pleasing unto your Lord, and the angels rejoice over
you; the alms of your prayers have come up into the ears of the Lord of
Sabaoth, and are recorded in the book of the names of the sanctified, even
them of the celestial world.
D&C 88:3 Wherefore, I now send upon you another Comforter, even upon you my
friends, that it may abide in your hearts, even the Holy Spirit of promise;
which other Comforter is the same that I promised unto my disciples, as is
recorded in the testimony of John.
D&C 88:4 This Comforter is the promise which I give unto you of eternal life,
even the glory of the celestial kingdom;
D&C 88:5 Which glory is that of the church of the Firstborn, even of God, the
holiest of all, through Jesus Christ his Son--
D&C 88:6 He that ascended up on high, as also he descended below all things,
in that he comprehended all things, that he might be in all and through all
things, the light of truth;
D&C 88:7 Which truth shineth. This is the light of Christ. As also he is in
the sun, and the light of the sun, and the power thereof by which it was
made.
D&C 88:8 As also he is in the moon, and is the light of the moon, and the
power thereof by which it was made;
D&C 88:9 As also the light of the stars, and the power thereof by which they
were made;
D&C 88:10 And the earth also, and the power thereof, even the earth upon
which you stand.
D&C 88:11 And the light which shineth, which giveth you light, is through him
who enlighteneth your eyes, which is the same light that quickeneth your
understandings;
D&C 88:12 Which light proceedeth forth from the presence of God to fill the
immensity of space--
D&C 88:13 The light which is in all things, which giveth life to all things,
which is the law by which all things are governed, even the power of God who
sitteth upon his throne, who is in the bosom of eternity, who is in the midst
of all things.
D&C 88:14 Now, verily I say unto you, that through the redemption which is
made for you is brought to pass the resurrection from the dead.
D&C 88:15 And the spirit and the body are the soul of man.
D&C 88:16 And the resurrection from the dead is the redemption of the soul.
D&C 88:17 And the redemption of the soul is through him that quickeneth all
things, in whose bosom it is decreed that the poor and the meek of the earth
shall inherit it.
D&C 88:18 Therefore, it must needs be sanctified from all unrighteousness,
that it may be prepared for the celestial glory;
D&C 88:19 For after it hath filled the measure of its creation, it shall be
crowned with glory, even with the presence of God the Father;
D&C 88:20 That bodies who are of the celestial kingdom may possess it forever
and ever; for, for this intent was it made and created, and for this intent
are they sanctified.
D&C 88:21 And they who are not sanctified through the law which I have given
unto you, even the law of Christ, must inherit another kingdom, even that of
a terrestrial kingdom, or that of a telestial kingdom.
D&C 88:22 For he who is not able to abide the law of a celestial kingdom
cannot abide a celestial glory.
D&C 88:23 And he who cannot abide the law of a terrestrial kingdom cannot
abide a terrestrial glory.
D&C 88:24 And he who cannot abide the law of a telestial kingdom cannot abide
a telestial glory; therefore he is not meet for a kingdom of glory. Therefore
he must abide a kingdom which is not a kingdom of glory.
D&C 88:25 And again, verily I say unto you, the earth abideth the law of a
celestial kingdom, for it filleth the measure of its creation, and
transgresseth not the law--
D&C 88:26 Wherefore, it shall be sanctified; yea, notwithstanding it shall
die, it shall be quickened again, and shall abide the power by which it is
quickened, and the righteous shall inherit it.
D&C 88:27 For notwithstanding they die, they also shall rise again, a
spiritual body.
D&C 88:28 They who are of a celestial spirit shall receive the same body
which was a natural body; even ye shall receive your bodies, and your glory
shall be that glory by which your bodies are quickened.
D&C 88:29 Ye who are quickened by a portion of the celestial glory shall then
receive of the same, even a fulness.
D&C 88:30 And they who are quickened by a portion of the telestial glory
shall then receive of the same, even a fulness.
D&C 88:31 And also they who are quickened by a portion of the telestial glory
shall then receive of the same, even a fulness.
D&C 88:32 And they who remain shall also be quickened; nevertheless, they
shall return again to their own place, to enjoy that which they are willing
to receive, because they were not will to enjoy that which they might have
received.
D&C 88:33 For what doth it profit a man if a gift is bestowed upon him, and
he receive not the gift? Behold, he rejoices not in that which is given unto
him, neither rejoices in him who is the giver of the gift.
D&C 88:34 And again, verily I say unto you, that which is governed by law is
also preserved by law and perfected and sanctified by the same.
D&C 88:35 That which breaketh a law, and abideth not by law, but seeketh to
become a law unto itself, and willeth to abide in sin, cannot be sanctified
by law, neither by mercy, justice, nor judgment. Therefore, they must remain
filthy still.
D&C 88:36 All kingdoms have a law given;
D&C 88:37 And there are many kingdoms; for there is no space in the which
there is no kingdom; and there is no kingdom in which there is no space,
either a greater or a lesser kingdom.
D&C 88:38 And unto every kingdom is given a law; and unto every law there are
certain bounds also and conditions.
D&C 88:39 All beings who abide not in those conditions are not justified.
D&C 88:40 For intelligence cleaveth unto intelligence; wisdom receiveth
wisdom; truth embraceth truth; virtue loveth virtue; light cleaveth unto
light; mercy hath compassion on mercy and claimeth her own; justice
continueth its course and claimeth its own; judgment goeth before the face of
him who sitteth upon the throne and governeth and executeth all things.
D&C 88:41 He comprehendeth all things, and all things are before him, and all
things are round about him; and he is above all things, and in all things,
and is through all things, and is round about all things; and all things are
by him, and of him, even God, forever and ever.
D&C 88:42 And again, verily I say unto you, he hath given a law unto all
things, by which they move in their times and seasons;
D&C 88:43 And their courses are fixed, even the courses of the heavens and
the earth, which comprehend the earth and all the planets.
D&C 88:44 And they give light to each other in their times and in their
seasons, in their minutes, in their hours, in their days, in their weeks, in
their months, in their years--all these are but one year with God, but not
with man.
D&C 88:45 The earth rolls upon her wings, and the sun giveth his light by
day, and the moon giveth her light by night, and the stars also give their
light, as they roll upon their wings in their glory, in the midst of the
power of God.
D&C 88:46 Unto what shall I liken these kingdoms, that ye may understand?
D&C 88:47 Behold, all these are kingdoms, and any man who hath seen any or
the least of these hath seen God moving in his majesty and power.
D&C 88:48 I say unto you, he hath seen him; nevertheless, he who came unto
his own was not comprehended.
D&C 88:49 The light shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehendeth it
not; nevertheless, the day shall come when you shall comprehend even God,
being quickened in him and by him.
D&C 88:50 Then shall ye know that ye have seen me, that I am, and that I am
the true light that is in you, and that you are in me; otherwise ye could not
abound.
D&C 88:51 Behold, I will liken these kingdoms unto a man having a field, and
he sent forth his servants into the field to dig in the field.
D&C 88:52 And he said unto the first: Go ye and labor in the field, and in
the first hour I will come unto you, and ye shall behold the joy of my
countenance.
D&C 88:53 And he said unto the second: Go ye also into the field, and in the
second hour I will visit you with the joy of my countenance.
D&C 88:54 And also unto the third, saying: I will visit you;
D&C 88:55 And unto the fourth, and so on unto the twelfth.
D&C 88:56 And the lord of the field went unto the first in the first hour,
and tarried with him all that hour, and he was made glad with the light of
the countenance of his lord.
D&C 88:57 And then he withdrew from the first that he might visit the second
also, and the third, and the fourth, and so on unto the twelfth.
D&C 88:58 And thus they all received the light of the countenance of their
lord, every man in his hour, and in his time, and in his season--
D&C 88:59 Beginning at the first, and so on unto the last, and from the last
unto the first, and from the first unto the last;
D&C 88:60 Every man in his own order, until his hour was finished, even
according as his lord had commanded him, that his lord might be glorified in
him, and he in his lord, that they all might be glorified.
D&C 88:61 Therefore, unto this parable I will liken all these kingdoms, and
the inhabitants thereof--every kingdom in its hour, and in its time, and in
its season, even according to the decree which God hath made.
D&C 88:62 And again, verily I say unto you, my friends, I leave these sayings
with you to ponder in your hearts, with this commandment which I give unto
you, that ye shall call upon me while I am near--
D&C 88:63 Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you; seek me diligently
and ye shall find me; ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be
opened unto you.
D&C 88:64 Whatsoever ye ask the Father in my name it shall be given unto you,
that is expedient for you;
D&C 88:65 And if ye ask anything that is not expedient for you, it shall turn
unto your condemnation.
D&C 88:66 Behold, that which you hear is the voice of one crying in the
wilderness--in the wilderness, because you cannot see him--my voice, because
my voice is Spirit; my Spirit is truth; truth abideth and hath no end; and if
it be in you it shall abound.
D&C 88:67 And if your eye be single to my glory, your whole bodies shall be
filled with light, and there shall be no darkness in you; and that body which
is filled with light comprehendeth all things.
D&C 88:68 Therefore, sanctify yourselves that your minds become single to
God, and the days will come that you shall see him; for he will unveil his
face unto you, and it shall be in his own time, and in his own way, and
according to his own will.
D&C 88:69 Remember the great and last promise which I have made unto you;
cast away your idle thoughts and your excess of laughter far from you.
D&C 88:70 Tarry ye, tarry ye in this place, and call a solemn assembly, even
of those who are the first laborers in this last kingdom.
D&C 88:71 And let those whom they have warned in their traveling call on the
Lord, and ponder the warning in their hearts which they have received, for a
little season.
D&C 88:72 Behold, and lo, I will take care of your flocks, and will raise up
elders and send unto them.
D&C 88:73 Behold, I will hasten my work in its time.
D&C 88:74 And I give unto you, who are the first laborers in this last
kingdom, a commandment that you assemble yourselves together, and organize
yourselves, and prepare yourselves, and sanctify yourselves; yea, purify your
hearts, and cleanse your hands and your feet before me, that I may make you
clean;
D&C 88:75 That I may testify unto your Father, and your God, and my God, that
you are clean from the blood of this wicked generation; that I may fulfill
this promise, this great and last promise, which I have made unto you, when I
will.
D&C 88:76 Also, I give unto you a commandment that ye shall continue in
prayer and fasting from this time forth.
D&C 88:77 And I give unto you a commandment that you shall teach one another
the doctrine of the kingdom.
D&C 88:78 Teach ye diligently and my grace shall attend you, that you may be
instructed more perfectly in theory, in principle, in doctrine, in the law of
the gospel, in all things that pertain unto the kingdom of God, that are
expedient for you to understand;
D&C 88:79 Of things both in heaven and in the earth, and under the earth;
things which have been, things which are, things which must shortly come to
pass; things which are at home, things which are abroad; the wars and the
perplexities of the nations, and the judgments which are on the land; and a
knowledge also of countries and of kingdoms--
D&C 88:80 That ye may be prepared in all things when I shall send you again
to magnify the calling whereunto I have called you, and the mission with
which I have commissioned you.
D&C 88:81 Behold, I sent you out to testify and warn the people, and it
becometh every man who hath been warned to warn his neighbor.
D&C 88:82 Therefore, they are left without excuse, and their sins are upon
their own heads.
D&C 88:83 He that seeketh me early shall find me, and shall not be forsaken.
D&C 88:84 Therefore, tarry ye, and labor diligently, that you may be
perfected in your ministry to go forth among the Gentiles for the last time,
as many as the mouth of the Lord shall name, to bind up the law and seal up
the testimony, and to prepare the saints for the hour of judgment which is to
come;
D&C 88:85 That their souls may escape the wrath of God, the desolation of
abomination which awaits the wicked, both in this world and in the world to
come. Verily, I say unto you, let those who are not the first elders continue
in the vineyard until the mouth of the Lord shall call them, for their time
is not yet come; their garments are not clean from the blood of this
generation.
D&C 88:86 Abide ye in the liberty wherewith ye are made free; entangle not
yourselves in sin, but let your hands be clean, until the Lord comes.
D&C 88:87 For not many days hence and the earth shall tremble and reel to and
fro as a drunken man; and the sun shall hide his face, and shall refuse to
give light; and the moon shall be bathed in blood; and the stars shall become
exceedingly angry, and shall cast themselves down as a fig that falleth from
off a fig-tree.
D&C 88:88 And after your testimony cometh wrath and indignation upon the
people.
D&C 88:89 For after your testimony cometh the testimony of earthquakes, that
shall cause groanings in the midst of her, and men shall fall upon the ground
and shall not be able to stand.
D&C 88:90 And also cometh the testimony of the voice of thunderings, and the
voice of lightnings, and the voice of tempests, and the voice of the waves of
the sea heaving themselves beyond their bounds.
D&C 88:91 And all things shall be in commotion; and surely, men's hearts
shall fail them; for fear shall come upon all people.
D&C 88:92 And angels shall fly through the midst of heaven, crying with a
loud voice, sounding the trump of God, saying: Prepare ye, prepare ye, O
inhabitants of the earth; for the judgment of our God is come. Behold, and
lo, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
D&C 88:93 And immediately there shall appear a great sign in heaven, and all
people shall see it together.
D&C 88:94 And another angel shall sound his trump, saying: That great church,
the mother of abominations, that made all nations drink of the wine of the
wrath of her fornication, that persecuteth the saints of God, that shed their
blood--she who sitteth upon many waters, and upon the islands of the
sea--behold, she is the tares of the earth; she is bound in bundles; her
bands are made strong, no man can loose them; therefore, she is ready to be
burned. And he shall sound his trump both long and loud, and all nations
shall hear it.
D&C 88:95 And there shall be silence in heaven for the space of half an hour;
and immediately after shall the curtain of heaven be unfolded, as a scroll in
unfolded after it is rolled up, and the face of the Lord shall be unveiled;
D&C 88:96 And the saints that are upon the earth, who are alive, shall be
quickened and be caught up to meet him.
D&C 88:97 And they who have slept in their graves shall come forth, for their
graves shall be opened; and they also shall be caught up to meet him in the
midst of the pillar of heaven--
D&C 88:98 They are Christ's, the first fruits, they who shall descend with
him first, and they who are on the earth and in their graves, who are first
caught up to meet him; and all this by the voice of the sounding of the trump
of the angel of God.
D&C 88:99 And after this another angel shall sound, which is the second
trump; and then cometh the redemption of those who are Christ's at his
coming; who have received their part in that prison which is prepared for
them, that they might receive the gospel, and be judged according to men in
the flesh.
D&C 88:100 And again, another trump shall sound, which is the third trump;
and then come the spirits of men who are to be judged, and are found under
condemnation;
D&C 88:101 And these are the rest of the dead; and they live not again until
the thousand years are ended, neither again, until the end of the earth.
D&C 88:102 And another trump shall sound, which is the fourth trump, saying:
There are found among those who are to remain until that great and last day,
even the end, who shall remain filthy still.
D&C 88:103 And another trump shall sound, which is the fifth trump, which is
the fifth angel who committeth the everlasting gospel--flying through the
midst of heaven, unto all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people;
D&C 88:104 And this shall be the sound of his trump, saying to all people,
both in heaven and in earth, and that are under the earth--for every ear
shall hear it, and every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess,
while they hear the sound of the trump, saying: Fear God, and give glory to
him who sitteth upon the throne, forever and ever; for the hour of his
judgment is come.
D&C 88:105 And again, another angel shall sound his trump, which is the sixth
angel, saying: She is fallen who made all nations drink of the wine of the
wrath of her fornication; she is fallen, is fallen!
D&C 88:106 And again, another angel shall sound his trump, which is the
seventh angel, saying: It is finished; it is finished! The Lamb of God hath
overcome and trodden the wine-press alone, even the wine-press of the
fierceness of the wrath of Almighty God.
D&C 88:107 And then shall the angels be crowned with the glory of his might,
and the saints shall be filled with his glory, and receive their inheritance
and be made equal with him.
D&C 88:108 And then shall the first angel again sound his trump in the ears
of all living, and reveal the secret acts of men, and the mighty works of God
in the first thousand years.
D&C 88:109 And then shall the second angel sound his trump, and reveal the
secret acts of men, and thoughts and intents of their hearts, and the mighty
works of God in the second thousand years--
D&C 88:110 And so on, until the seventh angel shall sound his trump; and he
shall stand forth upon the land and upon the sea, and swear in the name of
him who sitteth upon the throne, that there shall be time no longer; and
Satan shall be bound, that old serpent, who is called the devil, and shall
not be loosed for the space of a thousand years.
D&C 88:111 And then he shall be loosed for a little season, that he may
gather together his armies.
D&C 88:112 And Michael, the seventh angel, even the archangel, shall gather
together his armies, even the hosts of heaven.
D&C 88:113 And the devil shall gather together his armies; even the hosts of
hell, and shall come up to battle against Michael and his armies.
D&C 88:114 And then cometh the battle of the great God; and the devil and his
armies shall be cast away into their own place, that they shall not have
power over the saints any more at all.
D&C 88:115 For Michael shall fight their battles, and shall overcome him who
seeketh the throne of him who sitteth upon the throne, even the Lamb.
D&C 88:116 This is the glory of God, and the sanctified; and they shall not
any more see death.
D&C 88:117 Therefore, verily I say unto you, my friends, call your solemn
assembly, as I have commanded you.
D&C 88:118 And as all have not faith, seek ye diligently and teach one
another words of wisdom; yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom;
seek learning, even by study and also by faith.
D&C 88:119 Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing; and establish a
house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house
of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God;
D&C 88:120 That your incomings may be in the name of the Lord; that your
outgoings may be in the name of the Lord; that all your salutations may be in
the name of the Lord, with uplifted hands unto the Most High.
D&C 88:121 Therefore, cease from all your light speeches, from all laughter,
from all your lustful desires, from all your pride and light-mindedness, and
from all your wicked doings.
D&C 88:122 Appoint among yourselves a teacher, and let not all be spokesmen
at once; but let one speak at a time and let all listen unto his sayings,
that when all have spoken that all may be edified of all, and that every man
may have an equal privilege.
D&C 88:123 See that ye love one another; cease to be covetous; learn to
impart one to another as the gospel requires.
D&C 88:124 Cease to be idle; cease to find fault one with another; cease to
sleep longer than is needful; retire to thy bed early, that ye may not be
weary; arise early, that your bodies and your minds may be invigorated.
D&C 88:125 And above all things, clothe yourselves with the bond of charity,
as with a mantle, which is the bond of perfectness and peace.
D&C 88:126 Pray always, that ye may not faint, until I come. Behold, and lo,
I will come quickly, and receive you unto myself. Amen.
D&C 88:127 And again, the order of the house prepared for the presidency of
the school of the prophets, established for their instruction in all things
that are expedient for them, even for all the officers of the church, or in
other words, those who are called to the ministry in the church, beginning at
the high priests, even down to the deacons--
D&C 88:128 And this shall be the order of the house of the presidency of the
school: He that is appointed to be president, or teacher, shall be found
standing in his place, in the house which shall be prepared for him.
D&C 88:129 Therefore, he shall be first in the house of God, in a place that
the congregation in the house may hear his words carefully and distinctly,
not with loud speech.
D&C 88:130 And when he cometh into the house of God, for he should be first
in the house--behold, this is beautiful, that he may be an example--
D&C 88:131 Let him offer himself in prayer upon his knees before God, in
token or remembrance of the everlasting covenant.
D&C 88:132 And when any shall come in after him, let the teacher arise, and
with uplifted hands to heaven, yea, even directly, salute his brother or
brethren with these words:
D&C 88:133 Art thou a brother or brethren? I salute you in the name of the
Lord Jesus Christ, in token or remembrance of the everlasting covenant, in
which covenant I receive you to fellowship, in a determination that is fixed,
immovable, and unchangeable, to be your friend and brother through the grace
of God in the bonds of love, to walk in all the commandments of God
blameless, in thanksgiving, forever and ever. Amen.
D&C 88:134 And he that is found unworthy of this salutation shall not have
place among you; for ye shall not suffer that mine house shall be polluted by
him.
D&C 88:135 And he that cometh in and is faithful before me, and is a brother,
or if they be brethren, they shall salute the president or teacher with
uplifted hands to heaven, with this same prayer and covenant, or by saying
Amen, in token of the same.
D&C 88:136 Behold, verily, I say unto you, this is an ensample unto you for a
salutation to one another in the house of God, in the school of the prophets.
D&C 88:137 And ye are called to do this by prayer and thanksgiving, as the
Spirit shall give utterance in all your doings in the house of the Lord, in
the school of the prophets, that it may become a sanctuary, a tabernacle of
the Holy Spirit to your edification.
D&C 88:138 And ye shall not receive any among you into this school save he is
clean from the blood of this generation;
D&C 88:139 And he shall be received by the ordinance of the washing of feet,
for unto this end was the ordinance of the washing of feet instituted.
D&C 88:140 And again, the ordinance of washing feet is to be administered by
the president, or presiding elder of the church.
D&C 88:141 It is to be commenced with prayer; and after partaking of bread
and wine, he is to gird himself according to the pattern given in the
thirteenth chapter of John's testimony concerning me. Amen.
D&C 89:0 Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Kirtland,
Ohio, February 27, 1933, known as the Word of Wisdom. --Abstinence from wine,
strong drink, tobacco and hot drinks enjoined--Moderation in the eating of
meat--Wholesome foods--Promises to those who live according to these
precepts.
D&C 89:1 A Word of Wisdom, for the benefit of the council of high priests,
assembled in Kirtland, and the church, and also to the saints in Zion--
D&C 89:2 To be sent greeting; not be commandment or constraint, but by
revelation and the word of wisdom, showing forth the order and will of God in
the temporal salvation of all saints in the last days--
D&C 89:3 Given for a principle with promise, adapted to the capacity of the
weak and the weakest of all saints, who are or can be called saints.
D&C 89:4 Behold, verily, thus saith the Lord unto you: In consequence of
evils and designs which do and will exist in the hearts of conspiring men in
the last days, I have warned you, and forewarn you, by giving unto you this
word of wisdom by revelation--
D&C 89:5 That inasmuch as any man drinketh wine or strong drink among you,
behold it is not good, neither meet in the sight of your Father, only in
assembling yourselves together to offer up your sacraments before him.
D&C 89:6 And, behold, this should be wine, yea, pure wine of the grape of the
vine, of your own make.
D&C 89:7 And, again, strong drinks are not for the belly, but for the washing
of your bodies.
D&C 89:8 And again, tobacco is not for the body, neither for the belly, and
is not good for man, but is an herb for bruises and all sick cattle, to be
used with judgment and skill.
D&C 89:9 And again, hot drinks are not for the body or belly.
D&C 89:10 And again, verily I say unto you, all wholesome herbs God hath
ordained for the constitution, nature, and use of man--
D&C 89:11 Every herb in the season thereof, and every fruit in the season
thereof; all these to be used with prudence and thanksgiving.
D&C 89:12 Yea, flesh also of beasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord,
have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to
be used sparingly;
D&C 89:13 And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used, only in
times of winter, or of cold, or famine.
D&C 89:14 All grain is ordained for the use of man and of beasts, to be the
staff of life, not only for man but for the beasts of the field, and the
fowls of heaven, and all wild animals that run or creep on the earth;
D&C 89:15 And these hath God made for the use of man only in times of famine
and excess of hunger.
D&C 89:16 All grain is good for the food of man; as also the fruit of the
vine; that which yieldeth fruit, whether in the ground or above the ground--
D&C 89:17 Nevertheless, wheat for man, and corn for the ox, and oats for the
horse, and rye for the fowls and for swine, and for all beasts of the field,
and barley for all useful animals, and for mild drinks, as also other grain.
D&C 89:18 And all saints who remember to keep and do these sayings, walking
in obedience to the commandments, shall receive health in their navel and
marrow to their bones;
D&C 89:19 And shall find wisdom and great treasures of knowledge, even hidden
treasures;
D&C 89:20 And shall run and not be weary, and shall walk and not faint.
D&C 89:21 And I, the Lord, give unto them a promise, that the destroying
angel shall pass by them, as the children of Israel, and not slay them. Amen.
