of the wilderness of darkness and error, concerning
the Zion and kingdom of God, and concerning Babylon
the Great, and what I have spoken through the mouth
of my servant Joseph, shall all be fulfilled. And
though heaven and earth pass away, my words shall
not pass away, but shall be fulfilled, saith the Lord.

These revelations and testimonies are before
you. Let my Saints search the word of the Lord,
and treasure up wisdom, and be prepared for that
which is to come. As I have decreed, so shall
my judgments begin at the house of God. There
are those in my church who have a name among
you, who are adulterers and adulteresses, and those
who blaspheme my name, and those who love and
make a lie, and those who revel and drink with the
drunken. If they do not speedily repent of this
wickedness and abomination, they should be severed
from the ordinances of my house, saith the Lord.
There are many who have need to repent, whose lusts ^hearts^
are set upon the things of this world, who aspire to
the honors of men, and do not honor the priesthood,
nor seek to build up the kingdom of God, as they should.
Neither do they learn and comprehend that the rights
of the priesthood are inseparably connected with the
