We will now hear from President Timpson. A little more understanding on this important subject. The flying words that are incorporated in this section are so beautiful, it's impossible for us to describe them. For me to talk, and I can read the word of the Lord through his entire prophet Joseph Smith would be following. A vision given to Joseph Smith Jr. and Sidney Rigdon at Hiram.

Portage County, Ohio, February 16, 1832. If any of you people are so sleepy that you can't stay awake, I want you to come up here and read for a couple of minutes, because this is a long section. Heal ye heaven, and give ear o'er, and rejoice, ye inhabitants thereof. For the Lord is God, and beside him there is no Savior. Jesus Christ is our Savior, salvation without him.

Great is his wisdom, marvelous are his ways, and the extent of his doings none can find out. His purposes fail not, neither are there any who can stay his hand. From eternity to eternity he is the same, and his years never fail. For thus saith the Lord, I the Lord am merciful and gracious unto those who fear me.

and delight to honor those who serve me in righteousness and in truth unto the end. Great shall be their reward, and eternal shall be their glory. And to them will I reveal all mysteries, yea, all the hidden mysteries of my kingdom from days of old and for ages to come. Will I make known unto them the good pleasure of my will concerning all things pertaining to my kingdom? Yea, even the wonders of eternity shall they know, and things to come will I show them, even the things of many generations. And their wisdom shall be great, and their understanding reach to heaven. And before them the wisdom of the wise shall perish, and the understanding of the prudent shall come to naught.

I was reading President Brigham Young this morning, and he said the young men in our congregation, he was speaking 100 years ago, this past July, the young men in our congregation, 25 years of age, have more knowledge of national government and problems than the Congress of the United States, including the President. For by my spirit will I enlighten them.

And by my power will I make known unto them the secrets of my will, yea, even those things which I have not seen, nor ear heard, nor yet entered into the heart of man. By the power of the Spirit, our eyes were opened and our understandings were enlightened, so as to see and understand the things of God, even those things which were from the beginning before the world was, which were ordained of the Father through his only begotten Son, who was in the bosom of the Father even from the beginning.

Of whom we bear record, and the record which we bear is the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ, who is the Son, whom we saw and with whom we conversed in the heavenly vision. For while we were doing the work of translation which the Lord had appointed unto us, we came to the twenty-ninth verse of the fifth chapter of John, which is given as follows.

Speaking of the resurrection of the dead, concerning those who shall hear the voice of the Son of Man and shall come forth, they who have done good in the resurrection of the just, and they who have done evil in the resurrection of the unjust. Now this caused us to marvel, for it was given unto us of the Spirit. And while we meditated upon these things, The Lord touched the eyes of our understandings, and they were opened, and the glory of the Lord shone round about. And we beheld the glory of the Son on the right hand of the Father, and received of his fullness. This vision was given twelve years after Joseph saw the Father and the Son in the original vision, and saw the holy angels, and they who had sanctified before his throne.

worshiping God and the Lamb who worshiped him forever and ever. And now after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the testimony last of all, which we give of him, that he lived. For we saw him on the right hand of God, and we heard the voice bearing record that he is the only begotten of the Father, that by him, And to him and of him the worlds are and were created, and the inhabitants thereof are begotten sons and daughters unto God. And this we also saw, and bear record, that an angel of God, who was in authority in the presence of God, who rebelled against the only begotten sons, whom the Father loved, and who was in the bosom of the Father, was thrust down from the presence of God and the sun, and was called to dissonance, for the heavens wept over him. He was Lucifer, a son of the morning, and we beheld him. Lo, he is fallen, is fallen, even a son of the morning. And while we were yet in the spirit, the Lord commanded us that we should write the vision, for we beheld Satan, that old serpent, even the devil.

who rebelled against God and sought to take the kingdom of our God and his Christ. Wherefore he maketh war with the saints of God, and encompasseth them round about. And we saw a vision of the sufferings of those with whom he made war, and overcame. For thus came the voice of the Lord unto us.

Thus saith the Lord concerning all those who know my power, and have been made partakers thereof, and suffered themselves through the power of the devil to be overcome, and deny the truth, defy my power. They are they who are the sons of perdition, of whom I say that it hath been better for them never to have been born, for they are vessels of wrath, doomed to suffer the wrath of god with the devil and his angels in eternity concerning whom i have said there is no forgiveness in this world nor in the world to come having denied the holy spirit after having received it and having denied the only begotten son of the father having crucified him unto themselves and put him to an open shame Be the they who shall go away into the lake of fire and brimstone with the devil and his angels, and the only one on whom the second death shall have any power. Yea, verily the only one who shall not be redeemed in the deep time of the Lord after the sufferings of his wrath. For all the rest shall be brought

Forced by the resurrection of the dead through the triumph of the glory and the glory of the Lamb. He was slain. He was in the bosom of the Father before the worlds were made. And this is the gospel. The glad tidings which the voice out of the heavens bore record unto us. That he came into the world, even Jesus, to be crucified for the world and to bear the sins of the world.

and to sanctify the world, and to cleanse it from all unrighteousness, that through him all might be saved, whom the Father hath put into his power, and made by him, who glorifies the Father, and saves all the works of his sons, of his sons, except those sons of perdition, who denied the Son after the Father has revealed him. Wherefore he saved all except them. They shall go away into everlasting punishment, which is endless punishment, which is eternal punishment, the reign of the devil and his angels in eternity, where their worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched, which is their torment. And the end thereof, neither the place thereof, nor their torment, no man knows.

Neither was it revealed, neither is, neither will be revealed unto man, except to them who are made to take as they are. Nevertheless, I, the Lord, show it by vision unto many, but straightway set it up again. Wherefore, the end, the width, the height, the depth, and the misery thereof, they understand not, neither any man except.

them who are ordained unto this condemnation. And we heard the voice saying, Write the vision, for lo, this is the end of the vision of the sufferings of the ungodly. But Apollo used to instruct us that in order to become ungodly, you must be godly. And again we bear record, for we saw and heard, and this is the testimony of the gospel of Christ concerning them who come forth in the resurrection of the dead. Again I invite you to pay strict attention to these words because they're true, faithful, and powerful. They are they who received the testimony of Jesus and believed on his name and were baptized after the manner of his burial, being buried in the water in his name and this according to the commandment which he has given, that by keeping the commandment

They might be washed and cleansed from all their sins and receive the Holy Spirit by the laying on of hands of him who is ordained and sealed unto this power and who will overcome by faith. And the brethren have told us what it means to overcome by faith. There's no other way to overcome our enemies, our sins, or anything else than by faith.

This is the principle by which God has given us these secrets. It's the principle of power. And in order to overcome, we must overcome by a power. And who overcome by faith and are sealed by the Holy Spirit is promised, which the Father sheds forth upon all those who are just and true. They are they who are the church of the firstborn.

Let all men be liars, but let God be true. They are they who are the church of the firstborn. They are they into whose hands the Father has given all things. You want the Lord's definition? Here it is. They are they who are priests and kings, who have received of his fullness and of his glory. How plain man can be.

and are priests of the Most High after the order of Melchizedek, which was after the order of Enoch, which was after the order of the only begotten Son. Wherefore, as they are gods, even the sons of God, wherefore all things are theirs, whether life or death, or things present or things to come, all are theirs, and they are Christ, and Christ is God, and they shall overcome all things.

Wherefore let no man glory in man, but rather let him glory in God, who shall subdue all enemies.
