Prophecy OR.

commandment given December 25th 1825 [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 & misery

of many souls! and the days will come

that war will be poured out upon all Nations beginning at this place for

behold the Southern States shall be

dividid against the northern states,

and the Southern States will call on

other nations even the nation of Great

Britain as it is called, & they shall also

call upon other nations in order to defend

themselves against other nations, & thus

war shall be poured out upon all

nations & it shall come to pass after many days slaves shall rise up against

their masters who shall be martialed

disciplined for war & it shall come

to pass also that the remnant were

left of the land will martial themselves

& shall become exceeding angry &

shall vex the Gentiles with a sore vexation

and thus with the sword & by bloodshed the inhabitants of the earth shall

mourn & with famine & plague & earthquakes, & the thunder of heaven & the fierce

& vivid Lightning also shall the inhabitants of the earth be made to feel the

wrath and indignation & chastning hand

of an Almighty God until 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 & be not moved until the day

of the Lord. Amen.
