The Last Days
"For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles; and I will show unto the world that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and I work not among the children of men
save it be according to their faith."
And now, behold, we have written this record according to our knowledge, in the
characters which are called among us the reformed Egyptian, being handed down and
altered by us, according to our manner of speech. And if our plates had been sufficiently
large we should have written in Hebrew; but the Hebrew has been altered by us also;
and if we could have written in Hebrew, behold, you would have had no imperfection in
our record.
But the Lord knows the things which we have written, and also that none other people
knows our language, therefore he has prepared means for the interpretation thereof.
And these things are written that we may rid our garments of the blood of our brethren,
who have dwindled in unbelief. And behold, these things which we have desired
concerning our brethren, yes, even their restoration to the knowledge of Christ, are
according to the prayers of all the saints who have dwelt in the land.
And may the Lord Jesus Christ grant that their prayers may be answered according to
their faith; and may God the Father remember the covenant which he has made with the house of Israel; and may he bless them forever, through faith on the name of Jesus
Christ. Amen.
But, behold, in the last days, or in the days of the Gentiles--yes, behold all the nations
of the Gentiles and also the Jews, both those who shall come upon this land and those
who shall be upon other lands, yes, even upon all the lands of the earth, behold, they will be drunken with iniquity and all manner of abominations.
And when that day shall come they shall be visited of the Lord of Hosts, with thunder
and with earthquake, and with a great noise, and with storm, and with tempest, and with the flame of devouring fire.
And all the nations that fight against Zion, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a
night vision; yes, it shall be unto them, even as unto a hungry man which dreams, and
behold he eats but he awakes and his soul is empty; or like unto a thirsty man which
dreams, and behold he drinks but he awakes and behold he is faint, and his soul has
appetite; yes, even so shall the multitude of all the nations be that fight against Mount
Zion.
For behold, all you that do iniquity, stay yourselves and wonder, for you shall cry out,
and cry; yes, you shall be drunken but not with wine, you shall stagger but not with strong drink.
For behold, the Lord has poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep. For behold, you
have closed your eyes, and you have rejected the prophets; and your rulers, and the
seers has he covered because of your iniquity.
And it shall come to pass that the Lord God shall bring forth unto you the words of a
book, and they shall be the words of them which have slumbered.
And the' things which shall be written out of the book shall be of great worth unto the
children of men, and especially unto our seed, which is a remnant of the house of Israel.
For it shall come to pass in that day that the churches which are built up, and not unto
the Lord, when the one shall say unto the other: Behold, I, I am the Lord's; and the
others shall say: I, I am the Lord's; and thus shall every one say that has built up
churches, and not unto the Lord--
And they shall contend one with another; and their priests shall contend one with
another, and they shall teach with their learning, and deny the Holy Ghost, which gives
utterance.
And when that day shall come they shall be visited of the Lord of Hosts, with thunder
and with earthquake, and with a great noise, and with storm, and with tempest, and with the flame of devouring fire.
And all the nations that fight against Zion, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a
night vision; yes, it shall be unto them, even as unto a hungry man which dreams, and

dreams, and behold he drinks but he awakes and behold he is faint, and his soul has
appetite; yes, even so shall the multitude of all the nations be that fight against Mount
Zion.

churches, and not unto the Lord--
And they shall contend one with another; and their priests shall contend one with
another, and they shall teach with their learning, and deny the Holy Ghost, which gives
utterance.
And they deny the power of God, the Holy One of Israel; and they say unto the
people: Hearken unto us, and hear you our precept; for behold there is no God today,
for the Lord and the Redeemer has done his work, and he has given his power unto men; behold, hearken you unto my precept; if they shall say there is a miracle wrought by the hand of the Lord, believe it not; for this day he is not a God of miracles; he has done his work.
Yes and there shall be many which shall say: Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we
die; and it shall be well with us.
And there shall also be many which shall say: Eat, drink, and be merry; nevertheless, fear God--he will justify in committing a little sin; yes, lie a little, take the advantage of one because of his words, dig a pit for your neighbor; there is no harm in this; and do all these things, for tomorrow we die; and if it so be that we are guilty, God will beat us with a few stripes, and at last we shall be saved in the kingdom of God. Yes and there shall be many which shall teach after this manner, false and vain and foolish doctrines, and shall be puffed up in their hearts, and shall seek deep to hide their counsels from the Lord; and their works shall be in, the dark.
And the blood of the saints shall cry from the ground against them. Yes, they have all gone out of the way; they have become corrupted. Because of pride, and because of false teachers, and false doctrine, their churches have become, corrupted, and their churches are lifted up; because of pride they are puffed up.
They rob the poor because of their fine sanctuaries; they rob the poor because of their
fine clothing; and they persecute the meek and the poor in heart, because in their pride
they are puffed up. They wear stiff necks and high heads; yes, and because of pride, and wickedness, and abominations, and whoredoms, they have all gone astray save it be a few, who are the
save it be according to their faith."

The Bible II
Before the invasion of Israel in 600 B.C., a Hebrew family was warned by God to leave Jerusalem. They sailed to the Americas and built one of the greatest civilizations ever known. This is their story as recorded over 1,000 years and their prophecies for America and the Jews.
