for the reign of Christ, & to fulfill the promises which was made to the Ancient Prophets & Patriarch which promises they drew from the Heavens by their faith & faithfulness before the Lord & saw the work that lies before us by the spirit of inspiration revelation dreams & the visions of Heaven. Thus it has been that a combination of causes of eternal & important consequence has stimulated the Proph[et] Apostles & Elders to action untill they have resolved in their hearts that for Zions sake they would not hold their peace & for Jerrusalem sake they would not rest, untill their righteousness goes forth as brightness & Salvation as a Lamp that burneth. Yea the time has come for the Lord to esstablish his kingdom on the earth
