Prophecy

or Commandment

Given Decm 25— 1832.

Verily thus saith the Lord concerning the wars that will shortly

come to pass, beginning at the

rebellion of south Carolina,

which will eventually terminate in

the death and misery of many souls:

and the days will come, that war

will be poured out upon all nations

begining at this place; for behold

the southern states shall be divided

against the northern states; and the

southern states will call on other nations, even the nation of Great britian as it is called, and they shall who call upon other nations in order

to defend themselves against other nations; and thus war shall be poured

out upon all nations: and it shall

come to pass, after many days, slaves

shall rise up against their masters,

who shall be martialed, disciplined

for war; and it shall come to pass

also, that the remnant who are left of

the land, will martial themselves;

and shall become exceding angry:

and shall vex the gentiles, with

a soar vexation; and thus with

the sword, and by bloodshed the

inhabitants of the earth shall

mourn, and with famine, and plague,

and earthquakes, and the thunder of heaven, and the fierce and vivid

lightning also shall the inhabitants of

the earth be made to feel the wrath,

and indignation, and chastening hand

of an Almighty God, untill the

consumption decreed hath made

a full end of all nations; that

the cry of the saints; of the bloodshed of the saints shall cease to come

into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth,

from the earth; to be avenged of

their enemies; wherefore, stand ye

in holy places; and be not moved

untill the day of the Lord Amen
