D&C 29
|
| Gather the elect |
7 |
And ye are called to bring to pass the gathering of mine
elect; for mine elect hear my voice and harden not their hearts; |
|
|
| Gather in one place, wicked to be destroyed |
8 |
Wherefore the decree hath gone forth from the Father that they shall be
gathered in unto one place upon the face of this land, to prepare their
hearts and be prepared in all things against the day when tribulation and
desolation are sent forth upon the wicked. |
|
|
| Wicked to burn soon |
9 |
For the hour is nigh and the day soon at hand when the
earth is ripe; and all the proud and they that do wickedly shall be as stubble;
and I will burn them up, saith the Lord of Hosts, that wickedness shall
not be upon the earth; |
|
|
| Hour is nigh |
10 |
For the hour is nigh, and that which was spoken by mine apostles must
be fulfilled; for as they spoke so shall it come to pass; |
|
|
| Lord will live on earth in glory
for a thousand years |
11 |
For I will reveal myself from heaven with power and great glory, with
all the hosts thereof, and dwell in righteousness with men on earth a thousand
years, and the wicked shall not stand. |
|
|
| Twelve to come with Jesus to judge Israel |
12 |
And again, verily, verily, I say unto you, and it hath
gone forth in a firm decree, by the will of the Father, that mine apostles,
the Twelve which were with me in my ministry at Jerusalem, shall stand at
my right hand at the day of my coming in a pillar of fire, being clothed
with robes of righteousness, with crowns upon their heads, in glory even
as I am, to judge the whole house of Israel, even as many as have loved
me and kept my commandments, and none else.
|
|
|
| Resurrection of the righteous |
13 |
For a trump shall sound both long and loud, even as upon Mount Sinai,
and all the earth shall quake, and they shall come forth—yea, even
the dead which died in me, to receive a crown of righteousness, and to be
clothed upon, even as I am, to be with me, that we may be one. |
|
|
| Signs in heaven |
14 |
But, behold, I say unto you that before this great
day shall come the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall be turned into
blood, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and there shall be greater
signs in heaven above and in the earth beneath; |
|
|
| Weeping and wailing |
15 |
And there shall be weeping and wailing among the hosts of men; |
|
|
| Hailstorm |
16 |
And there shall be a great hailstorm sent forth to destroy
the crops of the earth. |
|
|
| Vengeance on the wicked |
17 |
And it shall come to pass, because of the wickedness of the world, that
I will take vengeance upon the wicked, for they will not repent; for the
cup of mine indignation is full; for behold, my blood shall not cleanse
them if they hear me not. |
|
|
| Flies and maggots |
18 |
Wherefore, I the Lord God will send forth flies upon the face of the earth,
which shall take hold of the inhabitants thereof, and shall eat their flesh,
and shall cause maggots to come in upon them; |
|
|
| Flesh, eyes fall |
19 |
And their tongues shall be stayed that they shall not utter against me;
and their flesh shall fall from off their bones, and their eyes from their
sockets; |
|
|
| Beasts eat them |
20 |
And it shall come to pass that the beasts of the forest and the fowls
of the air shall devour them up. |
|
|
| Great and abominable church cast down |
21 |
And the great and abominable church, which is the whore
of all the earth, shall be cast down by devouring fire, according as it
is spoken by the mouth of Ezekiel the prophet, who spoke of these things,
which have not come to pass but surely must, as I live, for abominations
shall not reign. |
|
|
| After millennium, men begin to deny God |
22 |
And again, verily, verily, I say unto you that when
the thousand years are ended, and men again begin to deny their God, then
will I spare the earth but for a little season; |
|
|
| Earth consumed, new heaven, new earth |
23 |
And the end shall come, and the heaven and the earth
shall be consumed and pass away, and there shall be a new heaven and a new
earth. |
|
|
| All become new |
24 |
For all old things shall pass away, and all things shall become new,
even the heaven and the earth, and all the fulness thereof, both men and
beasts, the fowls of the air, and the fishes of the sea; |
|
|
| Nothing lost |
25 |
And not one hair, neither mote, shall be lost, for it is the workmanship
of mine hand. |
|
|
| Resurrection before earth passes away |
26 |
But, behold, verily I say unto you, before the earth shall
pass away, Michael, mine archangel, shall sound his trump, and then shall
all the dead awake, for their graves shall be opened, and they shall come
forth—yea, even all. |
|
|
| Righteous gather |
27 |
And the righteous shall be gathered on my right hand unto eternal life;
and the wicked on my left hand will I be ashamed to own before the Father; |
|
|
| Wicked cast into fire |
28 |
Wherefore I will say unto them—Depart from me, ye
cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels. |
|
|
| Cannot come to me, have no power |
29 |
And now, behold, I say unto you, never at any time have I declared from
mine own mouth that they should return, for where I am they cannot come,
for they have no power. |

And it shall be a great day at
the time of my coming, for all nations shall tremble. |
|

But before that great day shall
come, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon be turned into blood; and
the stars shall refuse their shining, and some shall fall, and great destructions
await the wicked. |

| But without faith, nothing but desolation |
11 |
But without faith shall not anything be shown forth except desolations
upon Babylon, the same which has made all nations drink of the wine of the
wrath of her fornication. |
|
|
| No others do good |
12 |
And there are none that doeth good except those who are ready
to receive the fulness of my gospel, which I have sent forth unto this generation. |
|
|
| Weak and unlearned thrash the
nations |
13 |
Wherefore, I call upon the weak things of the world, those
who are unlearned and despised, to thrash the nations by the power of my
Spirit; |
|
|
Let fall the sword
I fight for them |
14 |
And their arm shall be my
arm, and I will be their shield and their buckler; and I will gird up their
loins, and they shall fight manfully for me; and their enemies shall be
under their feet; and I will let fall the sword in their behalf, and by
the fire of mine indignation will I preserve them. |
|
|
Gospel to poor and meek
Second coming near |
15 |
And the poor and the meek shall have the gospel preached unto them, and
they shall be looking forth for the time of my coming, for it is nigh at

And they shall learn the parable of the fig-tree, for even now already

Jerusalem temple falls and people

great commotion,and iniquity abound. At the beginning of the times of the
Gentiles, the gospel will be restored §, but the Gentiles
will reject it, so there will be a great scourge §,
blood, and fire, and vapors of smoke, etc. A remnant will be gathered "unto
this place." § The Lord will return in the clouds
of heaven §. Then comes the first resurrection §,
the arm of the Lord will fall on the nations of the earth §.
He will cause the earth to tremble and the heavens to shake §.
The Jews will see the wounds in his hands and feet and know that he is the
crucified and weep for persecuting him §. The heathen
nations that knew no law will be raised in the first resurrection §.
The Lord will reign in the midst of his people §.

|
| When shall I come? |
16 |
And I will show
it plainly as I showed it unto my disciples as I stood before them in the
flesh, and spake unto them, saying: As ye have asked of me concerning the
signs of my coming, in the day when I shall come in my glory in the clouds
of heaven, to fulfil the promises that I have made unto your fathers, |
|
"… the disciples came unto
him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall
be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?" ¶
Matthew 24:3 (JST 4)
Joseph revises the question put to Jesus."
And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto
you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not
be thrown down." ¶ Matthew 24:2
(JST 2) |
| I will show |
17 |
For as ye have looked upon the
long absence of your spirits from your bodies to be a bondage, I will show
unto you how the day of redemption shall come, and also the restoration
of the scattered Israel. |
|
| Temple in Jerusalem |
18 |
And now ye behold this temple which
is in Jerusalem, which ye call the house of God, and your enemies say that
this house shall never fall. |
|
| Destroyed, people
scattered |
19 |
But, verily I say unto you, that
desolation shall come upon this generation as a thief in the night, and
this people shall be destroyed and scattered among all nations.
|
|
The concepts of desolation and
destruction are present in Matthew 24, but "scattered among the nations"
is Joseph's addition. |
|
20 |
And this temple
which ye now see shall be thrown down that there shall not be left one stone
upon another. |
|
¶
Matthew 24:2 (JST 2) |
| In same generation |
21 |
And it shall come
to pass, that this generation of Jews shall not pass away until every desolation
which I have told you concerning them shall come to pass. |
|
¶
Matthew 24:34 (JST 35) |
| You know end comes |
22 |
Ye say that ye
know that the end of the world cometh; ye say also that ye know that the
heavens and the earth shall pass away; |
|
¶
Matthew 24:36 (JST 36) |
|
23 |
And in this ye say truly, for so
it is; but these things which I have told you shall not pass away until
all shall be fulfilled. |
|
|
| I told you about
Jerusalem and remnant |
24 |
And this I have
told you concerning Jerusalem; and when that day shall come, shall a remnant
be scattered among all nations; |
|
Scattered remnant not in Matthew
24. |
| Jews to gather |
25 |
But they shall be gathered again;
but they shall remain until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. |
|
Remain scattered or remain gathered? |
| Then wars, etc. |
26 |
And in that day shall be heard of
wars and rumors of wars, and the whole earth shall be in commotion, and
men's hearts shall fail them, and they shall say that Christ delayeth his
coming until the end of the earth. |
|
|
| Iniquity abound
|
27 |
And the love of
men shall wax cold, and iniquity shall abound. |
|
¶
Matthew 24:12 (JST 10) |
| Gentile era |
28 |
And when the times
of the Gentiles is come in, a light shall break forth among them that sit
in darkness, and it shall be the fulness of my gospel; |
|
|
| But they reject
it |
29 |
But they receive it not; for they
perceive not the light, and they turn their hearts from me because of the
precepts of men. |
|
|
| In that generation,
it ends |
30 |
And in that generation shall the
times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. |
|
|
| Will see scourge |
31 |
And there
shall be men standing in that generation, that shall not pass until they
shall see an overflowing scourge; for a desolating sickness shall cover
the land. |
|
|
| Disciples stand
in holy places |
32 |
But my disciples shall stand in
holy places, and shall not be moved; but among the wicked, men shall lift
up their voices and curse God and die. |
|
|
| Calamities, wars
|
33 |
And there shall be earthquakes also
in divers places, and many desolations; yet men will harden their hearts
against me, and they will take up the sword, one against another, and they
will kill one another. |
|
|
|
34 |
And now, when I the Lord had spoken
these words unto my disciples, they were troubled. |
|
|
| Promises fulfilled |
35 |
And I said unto them: Be not troubled,
for, when all these things shall come to pass, ye may know that the promises
which have been made unto you shall be fulfilled. |
|
|
| Parable |
36 |
And when the light shall begin to
break forth, it shall be with them like unto a parable which I will show
you— |
|
|
| Fig tree in summer |
37 |
Ye look and behold
the fig-trees, and ye see them with your eyes, and ye say when they begin
to shoot forth, and their leaves are yet tender, that summer is now nigh
at hand; |
|
¶
Matthew 24:32 (JST 41) |
| Hour is nigh |
38 |
Even so it shall be in that day
when they shall see all these things, then shall they know that the hour
is nigh. |
|
|
| Look for signs |
39 |
And it shall
come to pass that he that feareth me shall be looking forth for the great
day of the Lord to come, even for the signs of the coming of the Son of
Man. |
|
|
| Signs and wonders |
40 |
And they shall see signs and wonders,
for they shall be shown forth in the heavens above, and in the earth beneath. |
|
|
|
41 |
And they shall behold blood, and
fire, and vapors of smoke. |
|
|
| Sun dark, moon blood,
stars fall |
42 |
And before the
day of the Lord shall come, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon be turned
into blood, and the stars fall from heaven. |
|
Matthew 24:29 (JST 34) |
| Remnant gather |
43 |
And the remnant
shall be gathered unto this place; |
|
|
| See me in heaven
with angels |
44 |
And then they shall
look for me, and, behold, I will come; and they shall see me in the clouds
of heaven, clothed with power and great glory; with all the holy angels;
and he that watches not for me shall be cut off. |
|
Matthew
24:30 (JST 37) |
| Trump, resurrection |
45 |
But before the
arm of the Lord shall fall, an angel shall sound his trump, and the saints
that have slept shall come forth to meet me in the cloud. |
|
|
| Saints rise |
46 |
Wherefore, if ye have slept in peace
blessed are you; for as you now behold me and know that I am, even so shall
ye come unto me and your souls shall live, and your redemption shall be
perfected; and the saints shall come forth from the four quarters of the
earth. |
|
|
| Destruction |
47 |
Then shall the
arm of the Lord fall upon the nations. |
|
|
| Calamaties |
48 |
And then shall
the Lord set his foot upon this mount, and it shall cleave in twain, and
the earth shall tremble, and reel to and fro, and the heavens also shall
shake. |
|
|
| Lord speaks, world
shudders |
49 |
And the Lord shall utter his voice,
and all the ends of the earth shall hear it; and the nations of the earth
shall mourn, and they that have laughed shall see their folly. |
|
|
| Cast into fire |
50 |
And calamity shall cover the mocker,
and the scorner shall be consumed; and they that have watched for iniquity
shall be hewn down and cast into the fire. |
|
|
| Jews recognize crucified
Christ |
51 |
And then shall
the Jews look upon me and say: What are these wounds in thine hands and
in thy feet? |
|
|
|
52 |
Then shall they know that I am the
Lord; for I will say unto them: These wounds are the wounds with which I
was wounded in the house of my friends. I am he who was lifted up. I am
Jesus that was crucified. I am the Son of God. |
|
|
| Jews will weep |
53 |
And then shall they weep because
of their iniquities; then shall they lament because they persecuted their
king. |
|
|
| Heathens redeemed,
tolerable reward |
54 |
And then shall
the heathen nations be redeemed, and they that knew no law shall have part
in the first resurrection; and it shall be tolerable for them. |
|
|
| Satan bound |
55 |
And Satan shall
be bound, that he shall have no place in the hearts of the children of men. |
|
|
Jesus in glory
Ten virgins |
56 |
And at that
day, when I shall come in my glory, shall the parable be fulfilled which
I spake concerning the ten virgins. |
|
|
| Unprepared cast
into fire |
57 |
For they that
are wise and have received the truth, and have taken the Holy Spirit for
their guide, and have not been deceived—verily I say unto you, they
shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire, but shall abide the day. |
|
|
| Earthly inheritance
|
58 |
And the earth shall be given unto
them for an inheritance; and they shall multiply and wax strong, and their
children shall grow up without sin unto salvation. |
|
|
| Lord king and lawgiver |
59 |
For the Lord shall
be in their midst, and his glory shall be upon them, and he will be their
king and their lawgiver. … |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| Great things await |
62 |
For verily I say unto you, that
great things await you; |
|
|
| Wars in your own
lands |
63 |
Ye hear of wars
in foreign lands; but, behold, I say unto you, they are nigh, even at your
doors, and not many years hence ye shall hear of wars in your own lands. |

when the day of transfiguration shall come; |
|
|
Earth transfigured
Fullness yet to come |
21 |
When the earth shall be transfigured,
even according to the pattern which was shown unto mine apostles upon the

I, the Lord, am angry with the wicked; I am holding my Spirit

I have sworn in my wrath, and decreed wars upon the face

And the saints also shall hardly escape;

and shall cast themselves down as a fig that falleth from off a fig-tree. |

| Wrath and indignation |
88 |
And after your testimony cometh
wrath and indignation upon the people. |
|
|
| Earthquakes |
89 |
For after your testimony cometh
the testimony of earthquakes, that shall cause groanings in the midst of
her, and men shall fall upon the ground and shall not be able to stand. |
|
|
| Thunder, lightning,
ocean waves |
90 |
And also cometh the testimony of
the voice of thunderings, and the voice of lightnings, and the voice of
tempests, and the voice of the waves of the sea heaving themselves beyond
their bounds. |
|
|
| Hearts fail for
fear |
91 |
And all things shall be in commotion;
and surely, men's hearts shall fail them; for fear shall come upon all people. |

Angels fly through
heaven
|
92 |
And angels shall fly through the
midst of heaven, crying with a loud voice, sounding the trump of God, saying:
Prepare ye, prepare ye, O inhabitants of the earth; for the judgment of
our God is come. Behold, and lo, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet
him. |
|
|
| Great sign in heaven |
93 |
And immediately there shall appear
a great sign in heaven, and all people shall see it together. |
|
|
Mother of abominations
Ready to be burned |
94 |
And another angel
shall sound his trump, saying: That great church, the mother of abominations,
that made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication,
that persecuteth the saints of God, that shed their blood—she who sitteth
upon many waters, and upon the islands of the sea—behold, she is the
tares of the earth; she is bound in bundles; her bands are made strong,
no man can loose them; therefore, she is ready to be burned. And he shall
sound his trump both long and loud, and all nations shall hear it. |

Half hour silence
Lord revealed |
95 |
And there shall
be silence in heaven for the space of half an hour; and immediately after
shall the curtain of heaven be unfolded, as a scroll is unfolded after it
is rolled up, and the face of the Lord shall be unveiled; |
|
|
| Saints quickened
and caught up |
96 |
And the saints that are upon the
earth, who are alive, shall be quickened and be caught up to meet him. |
|
|
| Resurrected caught
up into heaven |
97 |
And they who have slept in their
graves shall come forth, for their graves shall be opened; and they also
shall be caught up to meet him in the midst of the pillar of heaven— |
|
|
| Christ's first fruits
descend with him |
98 |
They are Christ's, the first fruits,
they who shall descend with him first, and they who are on the earth and
in their graves, who are first caught up to meet him; and all this by the
voice of the sounding of the trump of the angel of God. |

|
Second trump for
Christ's
Resurrection of the dead |
99 |
And after this another angel shall
sound, which is the second trump; and then cometh the redemption of those
who are Christ's at his coming; who have received their part in that prison
which is prepared for them, that they might receive the gospel, and be judged
according to men in the flesh. |
|
|
Third trump
Condemned
|
100 |
And again, another trump shall sound,
which is the third trump; and then come the spirits of men who are to be
judged, and are found under condemnation; |

| Won't live again
until end of world |
101 |
And these are the rest of the dead;
and they live not again until the thousand years are ended, neither again,
until the end of the earth. |

|
Fourth trump
Remain filthy |
102 |
And another trump shall sound, which
is the fourth trump, saying: There are found among those who are to remain
until that great and last day, even the end, who shall remain filthy still. |
|
|
Fifth trump
|
103 |
And another trump shall sound,
which is the fifth trump, which is the fifth angel who committeth the everlasting
gospel—flying through the midst of heaven, unto all nations, kindreds,
tongues, and people; |
|
|
| All hear, bow, confess
God |
104 |
And this shall be the sound of his
trump, saying to all people, both in heaven and in earth, and that are under
the earth—for every ear shall hear it, and every knee shall bow, and
every tongue shall confess, while they hear the sound of the trump, saying:
Fear God, and give glory to him who sitteth upon the throne, forever and
ever; for the hour of his judgment is come. |
|
|
Sixth trump
She is fallen |
105 |
And again, another angel shall sound
his trump, which is the sixth angel, saying: She is fallen who made all
nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication; she is fallen,
is fallen! |
|
|
Seventh trump
It is finished, the Lamb has overcome |
106 |
And again, another angel shall sound
his trump, which is the seventh angel, saying: It is finished; it is finished!
The Lamb of God hath overcome and trodden the wine-press alone, even the
wine-press of the fierceness of the wrath of Almighty God. |
|
|
| Angels and saints
made equal with him |
107 |
And then shall the angels be crowned
with the glory of his might, and the saints shall be filled with his glory,
and receive their inheritance and be made equal with him. |
|
|
| First angel reveals
secret acts of first millennium |
108 |
And then shall the first angel
again sound his trump in the ears of all living, and reveal the secret acts
of men, and the mighty works of God in the first thousand years. |
|
|
| Second angel reveals
secret acts of second millennium |
109 |
And then shall the second angel
sound his trump, and reveal the secret acts of men, and the thoughts and
intents of their hearts, and the mighty works of God in the second thousand
years— |
|
|
And so on through
seventh
No time, Satan bound for a millennium |
110 |
And so on, until the seventh angel
shall sound his trump; and he shall stand forth upon the land and upon the
sea, and swear in the name of him who sitteth upon the throne, that there
shall be time no longer; and Satan shall be bound, that old serpent, who
is called the devil, and shall not be loosed for the space of a thousand
years. |
|
|
| Then loosed to gather
armies |
111 |
And then he shall be loosed for
a little season, that he may gather together his armies. |
|
|
| Michael, 7th angel,
gathers host of heaven |
112 |
And Michael, the seventh angel,
even the archangel, shall gather together his armies, even the hosts of
heaven. |
|
|
| Devil and hosts of
hell |
113 |
And the devil shall gather together
his armies; even the hosts of hell, and shall come up to battle against
Michael and his armies. |
|
|
| Devil and armies
cast away |
114 |
And then cometh the battle of the
great God; and the devil and his armies shall be cast away into their own
place, that they shall not have power over the saints any more at all. |
|
|
| Michael overcomes
|
115 |
For Michael shall fight their battles,
and shall overcome him who seeketh the throne of him who sitteth upon the
throne, even the Lamb. |
|
|
| No more death |
116 |
This is the glory of God, and the
sanctified; and they shall not any more see death. |
