I prophecy in the Name of the
Lord God that the commenceme[n]t of
bloodshed as preparat[o]ry to the coming
of the son of man. will commenc[e]
in South Carolina.— (it probably
may arise through the slave trade.)—
this the a voice declard to me. while I
was praying earne[s]tly on the subje[c]t 25
December 1832 I earnestly desird to know concern[in]g
the coming of the Son of Man & prayed.
when— a voice said to me, Joseph, my,
son, if thou livest until thou art
85 years old thou shalt see the facce
of the son of man. therefore let this
suffice & trouble me no more on
this matter.—
