VISION I Willford Woodruff being in the spirit on the eve of the 2nd Day of Jan". AD. 1836 mine understanding was enlightened and mine eyes were opened to look within the veil and behold the things that are to come, things which must yet be fulfilled. an angel said unto me look and I looked and beheld great and marvelous things that are to transpire spedily many in this generation. I saw a Judgment that doth await Babylon the great. I saw signs in the east as a warning to the nations and to fullfill the Prophets III X II [FIGURES] I beheld the sun turn to darknes and the Moon to Blood and the horizon covered with burning cities as is to come upon Babylon I saw seven golden Lions sit in the heavens as burning brass but the meaning was taken from me. I saw the resurrection of the Celestial Kingdom or the inhabitants thereoff whose glory was that of the first born they were arayed in white garment of fine lining most beautiful & fair. I saw the resurrection of the Terrestrial kingdom whose glory was lesser than the celestial. the earth hove from its capacious bed that Immor- tality might rest upon them and they came forth out of their graves. Great peace, joy, happiness, and glory immortality and Eternal Life reigned in the Celestial and terrestrial kingdoms Great and marvelous were the things shown unto me while in the spirit I beheld a personage appear in the clouds of heaven and while looking at the greatness the majesty and the glory of these things the veil was closed from my view and I awoke and my rest was seel [sealed] unto me And if I cannot write all that I saw I testify that what I have written is true
