gospel was offered unto them but when they put to death
their king & savior the gospel was taken from them & given to the
gentiles it was also given to the Lamanites & ten tribes of Israel. the
first were to be last & the last first it will now come to the gentiles
first then to the ten tribes of Israel & to the Lamanite before it will go
to the Jews they will be the last to received it who has ever herd
of the Jews having the spirit of God, or the Gospel, or kingdom of God
offered to the Jews since they put to death Jesus Christ & the kingdom
went to the Gentiles. No one for it has never been done. they will go
home in unbelief & wickedness & rebuild Jerrusalem in that state & they
will be so far from the gospel that when the Gentiles come against them
to battle rifle their houses ravish their women & carry half of their
city into captivity & Jesus Christ comes & delivers them in the midst
of this hour ^of^ perrill & trouble they will not know him or even imagin
Ho he is till they ask him about his wounds & he tells them that
the gospel has to be preached to them & they repent & are baptized & receive
the first principles of the gospel.

He also said their was a promise
that the three Nephites & angels should visit the Lamanites but they could
not be sent to them with messages to receive & obey the Mormons untill
all the Mormon Missionaries were righteous men & would not steal, lie,
sware or commit Adultery for if the Angels were to tell them to obey
the Mormons & they found the Mormons to do wickedly they would loose
confidence in both the Mormons & the Angels
