|
| Lord
chastens those he loves |
1 |
Verily thus saith the
Lord unto you whom I love, and whom I love I also chasten that their sins
may be forgiven. for with the chastisement I prepare a way for their deliverance
in all things out of temptation and I have loved you
|
|
|
|
2 |
therefore Wherefore ye must needs
be chastened and stand rebuked before my face. |

| The
Lord's house |
3 |
for ye have sinned
against me a verry grievous sin in that ye have not considered the great
commandment in all things that I have given unto you concerning the building
of mine house |
|
| House
for preparing apostles to prune vineyard |
4 |
for the preparation
wherewith I deign design to prepare mine Apostles to prune my vineyard for the
last time that I may bring to pass my strange act that I may pour out
my spirit upon all flesh.
|
|
Apostles |
| Many
called, few chosen |
5 |
But behold verily I
say unto you that there are many who have been ordained among you whom
I <have> called but few of them are chosen. |

| Walk
in darkness |
6 |
they who are not chosen
have sinned a very grievous sin in that they are walking in darkness at
noon day, |
|
|
| Solemn
assembly for repentance |
7 |
and for this cause I
gave unto you a commandment that you should call your solem[n] assembly that
your fastings and your mourning might come up into the ears of the Lord
of sabaoth which is by interpretation the creator of all things the first day the
beginning and the end.
|
|
|
| Build
a house to endow the chosen with power |
8 |
Yea verily I say unto
you I gave unto you a commandment that you should build an house in the
which house I design to endow those whom I have [60] chosen with power from on
high. |
2 |
|
|
9 |
for this is the promise
of the Father unto you. Therefore I command you to tarry even as mine Apostles
at Jerusalem. |
|
|
| Sin
in school of prophets |
10 |
nevertheless my servants
sinned a verry grievous sin and contentions arose in the school of the prophets,
which was very grievous unto me saith your Lord. therefore I sent them
forth to be chastened. |
|
|
| Build
the house |
11 |
Verily I say unto you,
it is my will that you should build an house. If ye you keep my commandments
ye you shall have power to build it. |

12 |
If ye you keep not my
commandments the love of the father shall not continue with you therefore
ye you shall walk in darkness. |
|
|
13 |
now here is wisdom
and the mind of the Lord, Let the house be built not after the manner
of the world. for I give not unto you that ye shall live after the manner
of the world. |
|
|
|
14 |
Therefore let it be
built after the manner which I shall show unto three of you whom ye shall
appoint and ordain unto this power |
