"We are, as the French would say, en rapport, with God; that is in
communication with God. Let us live so that we can keep that up, so that
angels can minister to us and the Holy Spirit dwell with us.
"We
have received his guidance and instruction. It is for us now to go on
from truth to truth, from intelligence to intelligence and from wisdom
to wisdom. And while nations shall crumble and thrones be cast down, and
the God of heaven arise and shake terribly the earth, while the
elements melt with fervent heat in fulfillment of ancient as well as
modern prophecy; while these things are going on he will whisper, peace
to Zion.
"But the judgments will begin at the house of God. We
have to pass through some of these things, but it will only be a very
little compared with the terrible destruction, the misery and suffering
that will overtake the world who are doomed to suffer the wrath of God.
" It behooves us, as the Saints of God, to stand firm and faithful in
the observance of his laws, that we may be worthy of his preserving care
and blessing."
