Daybook (31 December 1835 - 3 January 1837)
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
