Doctrine and Covenants 101

December 16, 1833, Kirtland, Ohio.
Inhabitants of Zion brought persecution on themselves by transgression, but the Lord will remember them. He will let his sword fall in their behalf. During millennium Satan will have no power. Those born during the millennium will not die, but be changed in the twinkling of an eye §. Continue to gather, purchase lands in Zion. No other gathering place §. Appeal to the courts, governor, and president. If they won't restore lands, the Lord will. Don't sell property in Zion.
Painesville Telegraph, January 24, 1834, heading: "It will be recollected that an affray recently took place between the Mormon sect and a larger body of the people of Jackson county, Missouri, and that peace was only restored by the removal of the former across the river into another county, by the advice of the Lt. Governor of the state, until the difficulties could undergo a judicial investigation. Soon after the above accounts were received at the head quarters of the Mormon Prophet, in this county, the following document (which they call a revelation,) was printed and privately circulated among the deluded followers of the impostor, Smith. It will be seen that it is made to touch the difficulties in question, and settles them at once. The latter part of it may be better understood, when it is known that some of the people who fled from Jackson county, sold or attempted to sell their lands—that the "Sidney G." spoken of, is A. S. Gilbert, a merchant among them, who actually sold out his store and goods. The Deity is represented to be speaking throughout. We think the cloven foot is so visible in this document, that some of the deluded will discover it.—[Editor Telegraph." Source
