will soon be in the spirit ^world^ with Joseph, Hyrum David, Heber, Wilard, Ezra T, George A Smith,
and A Hostts of other Men who have kept the command-
ments of God, And I hereby testify in the name of
Jesus Christ that the Bible is true the stick of Judah,
and that the Book of Mormon the stick of Joseph is true, [Ezekiel 37:16]
And that the Doctrin and Covenants are true which
are given through the mouth of Joseph Smith the
Prophet of God raised up in these last days through
the loins of Ancient Joseph who was sold into Egypt
all the words of the Lord will be fulfilled upon the Nations
which are written in that Book. The American Gover-
nment will be broaken in peaces like a potters vessel
and swept from off the face of the Earth, and cast
down to Hell, Because of their wickedness Murders
whoredoms and abominations For the Lord God hath
spoken it and it will be fullfilled. Therefore awake
and arise O Zion, slet the People of Zion sanctify
themselves before the Lord and purify themselves and
be prepared for the redemption of Zion and the coming of the Son of Man for his coming is at the
door and will overtake the world as a thief in the night [1 Thessalonians 5:2]
