I am agained caled in the chamber to take my seit wit those of the antients that sets in council on the Earth as it is a time of Counciling by the messengers above Much is now to be accomplished in honour of God The day has ariven for light to shine that dark sayings may be streightened by enlightened minds By minds that are united God will to perform As the day star has risen the vale will be rent by the power of faith By man on the Earth Let a union be established amongst the few that is singled out from the mass Gods works for to do That the stone from the mountain may move ore the land And Create principals that have lain long in the dark There was once a people By faith and good works moved in the power and majesty of God They had power invested in them in order to move That threw them God manifested his power on Earth The time has ariven And the ancients have took their stand To bring about an order that the name of the Lord will be Aknolwedged They first have feelings with the weak to sympethise teach them and instruct them In paths of light They then will display the power of God that will cause sorrow and sighing in all parts of the land That the wicked will Mourn because of their lot As scourges will rest on them because of their works But the time will come that the wise and the Learned Will se their folly in what they have ben adoing Being caled on by the Council of the Antient of days to consecrate to the Lord the Nauvoo house foundation that it mite be preserved for a people that shuld make their way here from the North the ten tribes of Israel Also consecrate to the Lord the house in which you meet in council that it may be seen in futer ages by a people that shall rear up this fallen Citty no more to be thrown down I took my course and stood upon the Nauvoo house and consecrated it to the Lord that it mite be preserved untill the tie should come for it to be reard up Aagain I consecrated the brick house belonging to Brother Nurse one street north of the temple atoal 1/2 mile East on the north side of the street that it mite stand a witness that the Antient of days condescended to meet in its loff and hold a council in honour of the will of God As the work of the Lord is now to commence as is spoken by the Antients That long since died They on the Earth had a standing in differant ages of the world They wrote their feelings of what in the last days should be don to bring about the purposes of God They on the Earth have taken a stand the latter day glory to usher in As is by God decreed that workman of pleasure they may move together to form and create anew. The time is at hand for man to arise in honour of God by displaying his power By raising the dead and changeing the elements form heat to cold or revers Also wet or dry will be subject to their world again as Moses had power ever the Egyptians to opress them with plagues from time to time So will be the order of the destruction of the wicked that all may be let without excuse against the comming of the son of man as He soon is a coming with his saints in the air.
