My brothers and sisters, I can back Brother [Rulon] Jeffs in what he said. I can say I never met two men [Guy Musser and Rulon Jeffs] I could trust more than I could trust these two men. They have been here in the home, and often we get together and discuss the principles of the Gospel. The lesson we had this morning was on repentance. I might say, what shall we repent of? One of the things is our worldliness. If we want to get close to our Father in heaven, we have got to do it in that way. We can?t go on like we have been going. And I want to say to you here, it is time that we did get humble; that we did so, for many of our brethren may be taken from us in that way. We have been told that we would be praying day and night for deliverance. It is here. The time is here. You go down the streets and what do you see? My brothers and sisters, what do you see on the streets?of the girls, of those that are walking the streets today, whose fathers and forefathers have been God?s honorable men? Yes, now I want to know the reason. What is the matter? We have read the third chapter of Isaiah and see it literally fulfilled. The Savior told us to listen to the words of Isaiah, for all those who had not been fulfilled would be fulfilled. He said: 2 Nephi 13 (

Isaiah 3) 12. And my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they who lead thee cause thee to err and destroy the way of thy paths. That is the secret. That is the reason for things that we see today. 12. ...O my people, they who lead thee cause thee to err and destroy the way of thy paths. We have a fine example of it now. The government and State try to persecute and prosecute those who try to live the laws of God. God said: ?Those who turneth from their error...? If that isn?t true today, it never was true. The Prophet Joseph saw this, and I am going to read what he said: TPJS Page 17 And now I am prepared to say by the authority of Jesus Christ, that not many years shall pass away before the United States shall present such a scene of bloodshed as has not a parallel in the history of our nation; pestilence, hail, famine, and earthquake will sweep the wicked of this generation from off the face of the land, to open and prepare the way for the return of the lost tribes of Israel from the north country. The people of the Lord, those who have complied with the requirements of the new covenant, have already commenced gathering together to Zion, which is in the state of Missouri; therefore I declare unto you the warning which the Lord has commanded me to declare unto this generation, remembering that the eyes of my Maker are upon me, and that to Him I am accountable for every word I say, wishing nothing worse to my fellowmen than their eternal salvation; therefore, ?Fear God, and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment is come.? Repent ye, repent ye, and embrace the everlasting covenant, and flee to Zion, before the overflowing scourge overtake you, for there are those now living upon the earth whose eyes shall not be closed in death until they see all these things, which I have spoken, fulfilled. Remember these things; call upon the Lord while He is near, and seek Him while He may be found, is the exhortation of your unworthy servant. (Signed) JOSEPH SMITH, JUN. It is quite a long while since that was said. We begin now to see some of it fulfilled, but we have just started. And I say to my brothers and sisters, be prayerful, be humble, forgive one another of their trespasses and cease to strive among yourselves; and get closer to the Lord. The Lord has shown me in dreams and visions what would happen to us if we would not be humble and prayerful and united. Is there anything we can say to arouse you to get closer to the Lord, that we may have His Spirit to be with us continuously? For months and months we have been preaching to get the Spirit of God and keep it. For months and months we have been preaching ?The Kingdom of God or Nothing.? Do we mean it? The time is here for us to repent. We have listened to a great sermon from Brother Rulon [Jeffs], calling this people to repent. We have been told there would be certain ones come from this group to go ahead, and there are some men that are going on. God is blessing them and they are going on to perfection. And if we stay with them, we will live the laws and keep the commandments of God. God bless you, amen.
