    For thus saith the Lord, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall beredeemed without money. For thus saith the Lord God, My people went downaforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them withoutcause. Now therefore, what have I here, saith the Lord, that my people is takenaway for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the LORD;and my name continually every day is blasphemed. Therefore my people shallknow my name: therefore [they shall know] in that day that I am he that dothspeak: behold, it is I. How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that

    bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good,that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! Isaiah 52:3-7

    ut behold, your days of your probation are past; that ye

    have procrastinated the day

    of your salvation until it is

    everlastingly too late, and your

    destruction is made sure; yea, for yehave sought all the days of your lives

    for that which ye could not obtain;

    and ye have sought for happiness in

    doing iniquity, which thing is

    contrary to the nature of thatrighteousness which is in our great

    and Eternal Head. Helaman 13:38

    Explanatory Note:

    ue to the circumstances of my trial I have

    had , of necessity, for society had cast me out , to literally

    dwell in the caves and dens of the Rocky Mountains above

    Salt Lake and Provo, and the shore of the Utah Lake, finally

    to Mexico, being chased and hounded by authorites to

    remove me, because of my difference, (tormented by

    intolerant, biggoted, liberal jogger-types,) while dwelling in a

    tent, shivering and appalled at the indifference and

    arrogance of the Gentiles to the universe and impending

    judgments signalled continually around them, with my horse

    and two dogs and the stars at night as companions,continuously for eight or nine years, the Lord God of Israel

    opened the way for me to obtain means to publish this work,

    praise his Holy name. Therefor if there be errors they are the

    errors of man, not God. Have charity, for charity covereth a

    multitude of typographical, grammatical, spelling and

    formatting errors.

    Prophets must, like other men, eat and drinkand wear apparel. They have the physicalnecessities and the affections and enjoymentswhich are common to other men. And it is thispetty human fact...which leaves him withouthonor in his own country. George Q. Cannon,The Life of Joseph Smith the Prophet. pp. 25-26.

    f the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before

    [it hated] you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his

    own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you

    out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the

    word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his

    lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if

    they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all

    these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because

    they know not him that sent me. If I had not come and spoken

    unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for

    their sin. He that hateth me hateth my Father also. If I had not

    done among them the works which none other man did, they

    had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me

    and my Father. John 15

    f Joseph (and the One mighty and

    strong, saith the Lord) had a right to

    dictate me in relation to salvation, in

    relation to a hereafter, he had a right

    to dictate me in all my earthly affairs,

    in relation to the treasures of the earth,

    and in relation to the earth itself. He

    had a right to dictate in relation to the cities of the

    earth, to the natives of the earth, and in relation to

    everything on land and on sea. That is what he had a

    right to do, if he had any right at all. If he did not have

    that right, he did not have the Priesthood of God, he

    did not have an endless Priesthood that emanates from

    an eternal being. A Priesthood that is clipped, and lacks

    length, is not the Priesthood of God; if it lacks depth, it

    is not the Priesthood of God; for the Priesthood in

    ancient times extended over the wide world and coped

    with the universe." Jedediah M. Grant, second counselor to

    Brigham Young; J.D. 2:13.

    THE REVELATIONS

    OF

    JESUS CHRIST

    he stone rejected by the builders is become the head of the

    corner; Whosoever falleth upon this stone is broken, but who-

    soever this stone falleth upon is ground into powder." Jesus the

    Christ.

    "...for a man called and inspired of God can both preach and

    write by the power of the Holy Ghost; and when the honest

    humble soul either hears or reads that which is given by the

    Spirit, the light that is in him witnesseth that it is of God ; for

    light cleaves to light, and truth to truth; the Spirit gives light to every man that

    comes into the world, and if he love the light that is within himself, he will love all

    other light that is presented to his mind, and embrace it. Light cannot be presented

    to the mind of a candid, honest person, without being perceived to be light; but if

    he receive it not, he extinguishes in a degree the light that is in him, and darkness

    still greater ensues, and he is left to commit evils of a greater magnitude, until the

    light that was in him has entirely fled, and darkness reigns triumphantly: this

    darkness brings misery and wretchedness in this world and eternal torment in the

    world to come. This is the state of man who rejects light and truth, and will not

    exercise faith in that which the light that is in him teaches him is true.

    "The word and the evidences accompanying it are both the gifts of God; but besides

    these, the light that is in every man who comes into the world is also the gift of God through

    Christ. For if Christ had not purchased this gift for man by his atoning blood, man would

    have been destitute of all light. Darkness alone would have reigned and our world wou ldhave been a hell-- the miserable abode of fallen spirits and fallen man..." Orson Pratt; The

    Seer; published 1853: Washington, D.C.

    J o s e p h t h e Se e r

    ow Melchizedek was a

    man of faith, who

    wrought righteousness;

    and when a child he

    feared God, and

    stopped the mouths of

    lions, and quenched the violence

    of fire.

    And thus, having been approved

    of God, he was ordained an highpriest after the order of the cove-

    nant which God made with

    Enoch. It being after the order of

    the Son of God; which order

    came, not by man, nor the will of

    man; neither by father nor

    mother; neither by beginning of

    days nor end of years; but of God;

    And it was delivered unto men by

    the calling of his own voice,

    according to his will, unto as

    many as believed on his name.

    For God having sworn untoEnoch and unto his seed with an

    oath by himself; that every one

    being ordained after this order

    and calling should dry up waters,

    to turn them out of their course;

    To put at defiance the armies of

    nations, to divide the earth; to

    break every band, to stand in the

    presence of God; to do all things

    according to his will, according to

    his comma nd, subdu e princi-

    palities and powers; and this by

    the will of the Son of God whichwas from before the foundation of

    the world.

    And men having this faith,

    coming up unto this order of God,

    were translated, and taken up

    into heaven.

    And now Melchizedek was a

    priest of this order; therefore he

    obtained peace in Salem, and was

    called the prince of peace.

    And his people wrought right-

    eousness, and obtained heavenand sought for the city of Enoch

    which God had before taken,

    separating it from the earth, hav-

    ing reserved it unto the latter

    days, or the end of the world;

    And hath said, and sworn with

    an oath, that the heavens and the

    earth should come together; and

    the sons of God should be tried so

    as by fire.

    Genesis 14:26-35

    ."Father, thy will be done and thyKingdom come, on earth as it is in

    heaven..." Jesus of Nazareth, the

    Christ, the Only Begotten of Son

    of the Father, who is the Father of

    both heaven and earth, whom I

    Art Bulla, the One that should

    come to tried so as by fire, saw,

    that my Father's Kingdom may

    come on earth, and that the

    heavens and the earth may run to

    together and become one, for so I,

    by the might and power and

    marvelous and matchless powerthat I saw while caught up into

    the third heaven, to see and hear

    unspeakable things, yea, by the

    power and the authority of thePriesthood which is without be-

    ginning of days, nor end of years,

    which is after the Order of the

    Ancients, even Melchizedec and

    Enoch, I command it. Even so.Amen, and may my Father's will

    be done.

    THE REVELATIONS

    OF

    JESUS CHRIST

    By their fruits ye shall know them.

    h that I were an angel, and could have the wish of

    mine heart, that I might go forth and speak with

    the trump of God, with a voice to shake the earth,

    and cry repenta nce unto every people! Yea, I

    would declare unto every soul, as with the voice

    of thunder, repentance and the plan of

    redemption, that they should repent and come unto our God,

    that there might not be more sorrow upon all the face of the

    earth. But behold , I am a man, and d o sin in my wish; for I

    ought to be content with the things which the Lord hath

    allotted unto me." Alma the Younger.

    A warning that they may escape the wrath of my God, whenit is that the legions shall come to smite the wicked with

    destruction from the might of his power, which power I have

    beheld with my own eyes, being quickened by his glory, I

    was caught up and saw and heard unspeakable things.

    "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and

    the books were opened; and another book was opened, which

    is the book of life; and the dead were judged out of those

    things which were written in the books, according to their

    works." Revelation 20:12.

    And it shall come to pass that I, the Lord god will send One

    Mighty and Strong holding the scepter of power in hishands...whose mouth shall utter words, eternal words, and

    whose bowels shall be a fountain of truth to set in order the

    house of God...While that man who is called of God and

    appointed, that putteth forth his hand to steady the ark of

    God, shall fall by the shaft of death..." D&C: Sect 85.

    "Brethren, this Church will be led on to the very brink of hell

    by the leaders of this Church, and then God will raise up the

    One mighty and strong spoken of in the 85th Section of the

    Doctrine and Covenants to save and redeem this Church."

    Brigham Young.1

    "The Lord thy God shall raise up unto thee a Prophet from

    the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto hi m

    shall ye hearken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among

    their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his

    mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command

    him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not

    hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I

    will require it of him." The Lord through Moses (Deu. 18:15,18-

    19).

    "Therefore it shall come to pass that whosoever will not

    believe in my words, who am Jesus Christ, which the Father

    shall cause him to bring forth unto the Gentiles, and shall give

    unto him power that he shall bring them forth unto the

    Gentiles, (it shall be done even as Moses said) they shall be

    cut off from among my people who are of the covenant." 3

    Nephi 21:11.

    "This day this prophecy is fulfilled in your ears." Jesus the

    Christ.

    "And as I opened my mouth to speak, a voice spoke over our

    heads (a Master Sergeant, a Staff Sergeant, and myself) which

    was of such power, that the ground felt as if it would move

    from under our feet." Art Bulla2

    "For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and

    because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. "Jesus

    answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are

    gods? If he called them gods unto who m the word of God

    came, and the scripture cannot be broken, say ye of him

    whom the Father hath sanctified and sent into the world,

    Thou blasphemest because I said, I am the Son of God?" John

    10: 34-36.

    "I believe those Gods that God reveals as Gods to be sons of

    God and a ll can cry Abba, Father! Sons of God who exalt

    themselves to be Gods, even from before the foundation of

    the world and are the only Gods I have reverence for."

    Joseph the Seer, just before his martyrdom. TPJS. p. 375.

    "For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners

    against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

    Ye have not yet resisted unto blood striving against sin."

    Hebrews 12: 3-4.

    "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that

    bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth

    good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saithunto Zion, thy God reigneth!" Isaiah 52:7. Prophecy of One

    Mighty and Strong.

    "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not

    come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of

    sin be revealed, the son of perdition; who opposeth and

    exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is

    worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the Temple of God,

    shewing himself that he is God." 2 Thess.2: 3-4.

    .Cursed is he that putteth his trust in man, or maketh flesh his

    arm, or shall hearken unto the precepts of men, save theirprecepts shall be given by the power of the Holy Ghost." 2

    Nephi 28: 24-31.

    "For this cause hath the Lord God caused that a curse should

    come upon the land, and also upon your riches, and this

    because of your iniquities. Yea, wo unto this people, because

    of this time which has arrived, that ye do cast out the

    prophets, and do mock them, and cast stones at them, and do

    all manner of iniquity unto them, even as they did of old

    time. And now when ye talk, ye say: If our days had been in

    the days of our fathers of old, we would not have slain the

    prophets; we wou ld not have stoned them, and cast them

    out. Behold ye are worse than they; for as the Lord liveth, if a

    prophet come among you and declareth unto you the word of

    the Lord, which testifieth of your sins and iniquities, ye are

    angry with him, and cast him out and seek all manner of

    ways to destroy him; yea, you will say that he is a false

    prophet, and that he is a sinner, and of the devil, because he

    testifieth that your deeds are evil. But behold, if a man shall

    come among you and shall say; Do this and there is no

    iniquity; do that and ye shall not suffer ; yea he will say:

    Walk after the pride of your eyes, and do whatsoever your

    heart desireth ---and if a man shall come among you and say

    this , ye will receive him, and say, he is a prophet . Yea, yewill lift him up and ye will give unto him of your gold, and

    of your silver, and ye will clothe him with costly apparel and

    because he speaketh flattering words unto you and he saith

    all is well, then ye will not find fault with him .

    "O ye wicked and ye perverse generation; ye hardened and

    ye stiff-necked people, how long will ye suppose that the

    Lord will suffer you? Yea, how long will ye suffer yourselves

    to be led by foolish and blind guides? Yea, how long will ye

    choose darkness rather than light? Yea, behold the anger of

    the Lord is already kindled against you; behold, he hath

    cursed the land because of your iniquity. And behold, the

    time cometh that he curseth your riches, (already fulfilled inthis generation), that they become slippery, that ye cannot

    hold them; and in the days of your poverty ye cannot retain

    them. And in the days of your poverty ye shall cry unto the

    Lord; and in vain shall ye cry, for your desolation is already

    come upon you, and your destruction is made sure; and thenshall ye weep and howl in that day, saith the Lord of Hosts.

    And then shall ye lament and say: O that I had repented, and

    had not killed the prophets (John Singer), and stoned them,

    and cast them out. Yea, in that day ye shall say: O that we

    had remembered the Lord our God in the day that he gave us

    our riches, and then they would not have become slippery

    that we should lose them; for behold, our riches are gone

    from us. Behold, we lay a tool here and behold, our swords

    are taken from us in the day we have sought them for battle.

    Yea, we have hid up our treasures and they have slipped

    away from us, because of the curse of the land . O that we

    had repented in the day that the word of the Lord came unto

    us; for behold the land is cursed , and all things are become

    slippery, and we cannot hold them. Behold, we are

    surrounded by demons, yea, we are encircled about by the

    angels of him who hath sought to destroy our souls (the

    cause of mental depression, saith the Lord ). Behold our

    iniquities are great. O Lord, canst thou not turn away th ine

    anger from us? And this shall be your language in those

    days. But behold, your days of probation are past; ye have

    proc rasti nated the day o f your salvation unt il it is ever-

    lastingly too late, and your destruction is made sure; yea, for

    ye have sought all the days of your lives for that which ye

    could not obtain; and ye have sought for happiness in doing

    iniquity, which thing is contrary to the nature of thatrighteousness which is in our great and Eternal Head. O ye

    people of the land that ye would hear my words! And I pray

    that the anger of the Lord be turned away from you, and that

    ye would repent and be saved ." Helaman 13: 23-39. The

    "Whenever men can find out the will of God and find an

    administrator legally authorized from God, there is thekingdom of God; but where these are not, the kingdom of

    God is not. All the ordinances, systems, and administrations

    on the earth are of no use to the children of men, unless they

    "The scripture say that Father so loved the world that He

    gave His Only Begotten Son, and that no greater love can one

    have, but He not only gave his Only Begotten Son, but He so

    loved the word that He gave himself! Think, after walking

    through this mortal state Himself and having finally won the

    prize and had the Ancients lay their hands upon His head

    and confer upon Him the office of Adam, and after having

    lived in glory and grandeur, together with His wives, and

    having begotten beautiful spirit children, and having become

    a God, He so loved the Plans of the Gods and this great

    exaltation, and the Presidency over his brethren with me, for

    thus saith my God, because of his sacrifice, he hath prevailed

    above his brethren in obtaining the prize also. Praised be His

    Name! This excerpt was from a public discourse delivered in

    the Salt Lake Tabernacle in 1888, while he was a member of

    the quo rum of the Twelve. It is also a matter of record that

    John W. Taylor, was personally visited by the Saviour in the

    flesh, that he received the second comforter spoken of.

    Praised be the name of the God of John W. Taylor. Also John

    W. Taylor was put under covenant by his Father, whom I

    adore and revere, John Taylor, third President of the Church

    after Brigham Young, upon his deathbed that he John W.

    Taylor should never give up Polygamy, but that he should

    suffer death first. And he being true to his Father, suffered a

    fate worse than death, He lost his membership in the Church

    which his Father had sweat blood and tears to raise up along

    with Heber C. Kimball and other faithful brethren of the

    Priesthood of the Son of God. And this because of the

    dastardly cowardice of false brethren in the Quorum of the

    Twelve, as it is worse than that today, for they in their

    ignorance would crucify the Saviour afresh, for are they

    worthy of a kingdom of glory, saith the Father of Jesus Christ,

    for they deny the divinity of our Father, the Father of ourspirits, and declare the doctrine of His (Adam's) Godhood,

    false doctrine in their perversity! For blasphemy against the

    Holy Ghost, is it pardonable, O man?

    partook of the fruits of the earth, begat children and they

    were earthly and had mortal bodies. And if we were faithful,we should become Gods as He was. He told Brother Pratt to

    lay aside his philosophical reasoning and get revelation from

    "Brother Joseph says, that the item in his letter that says thatthe man that is called etc. and puts forth his hand to steady

    the ark of God, does not mean that anyone had at that time,

    but it was given for a caution to those in high standing to be

    ware lest they should fall by the shaft of death as the Lord

    had said." Oliv er Cowdrey. Letter dated Jan. 1, 1834, Kirtland

    Ohio. Copy at Utah State Historical Society.

    "It is tacitly understood that Francis M. Lyman, then

    President of the Quorum of the Twelve, was the first general

    Church official to undertake the complete subjugation of the

    principle (plural marriage) through the application of

    ecclesiastical pressure and threats of criminal prosecutions in

    the civil courts. It is within the know ledge of the writer

    (Joseph Musser) that President Lyman, then in his sixties, was

    strong and hearty. In his zeal to destroy the practice he was

    particularly severe on his former collegue in the Quorum,

    John W. Taylor. The night before the latter's death (Oct. 10,

    1916), and in the presence of a few of his brethren, Apostle

    Taylor, rising from his pillow, said in substance: 'Brethren I

    am called home and will soon leave you. When I get there I

    am going to demand that Francis M. Lyman be brought

    before my God and Redeemer, and I am going to be

    vind icated .' One witness to this statement--Daniel R.

    Bateman-- is still alive. At that time Prest. Lyman (76 years of

    age) appeared to be in the pink of health, and boasted that hewould live to be a hundred. But sudden death overtook him

    (Nove 18, 1916)..." Joseph Mu sser. President Kimball wa s

    also likewise smitten at the occasion of my persecution from

    the Church, but I prayed perhaps too liberally in fear for his

    prolonging of life for his fate was shown unto me in vision,

    and I trembled because of the terrible might and wrath of the

    Lord upon him, which fate was to be the complete destruc-

    tion of both body and 'soul' in hell, yea even the second

    death, but I say the Lord's will be done upon all the wretches,

    if they turn not from their vomit as the dogs they are, who

    think they are so high and lifted up in the bosom of Abraham.

    Explanatory Note: The language of revelation must be removed from the

    common, base language of the people, because I have received them that way, andbecause that which is of God is Holy, and pearls, are they not to be kept from swine,

    saith the Lord? Yea, O man, I give not that which is holy unto dogs. For as Jesus

    said: "For unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven,

    but unto them it is not given." And it is thatthe things of God are of deep

    import and only time, much effort and ponderous thoughts can find

    them out.

    esus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth

    not on me, but on him that sent me. And he that seeth

    me seeth him that sent me. I am come a light into the

    world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide

    the darkness. And if any man hear my words, and

    believe not, I judge him not; for I came not to judge the

    world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and

    receiveth not my words, hath one that jud geth him: the

    word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him at the last

    day. For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which

    sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and

    what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is

    life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefor, even as the

    Father said unto me, so I speak. Verily, verily, I say unto you,

    He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he

    that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me."

    Therefor I call upon you and those associated with you to

    repent of your dead works, O ye Latter-Day-Saints, and comeunto m e and I will give you rest, saith the Lord. Even so, I

    the Lord your God have chosen my servant for a wise

    purpose in me, and he shall not be confounded, for I the Lord

    God am with him and have covenanted with him that all who

    would not receive his testimony which he hath borne of me is

    not of me and shall be cut off from among the people.1 Even

    so, I the Lord your God will not be mocked by those who

    dwell below in the flesh in these the last days, for we will

    destroy them when they are fully ripened, saith the Lord, that

    it shall leave them neithe r root nor branch. Therefor this

    commandment I the Lord your God give unto you that you

    humble yourselves and call upon my name for a witness of

    these things in your closets and not before men and thus saiththe Lord, I will send unto your the truth even as upon Eagle's

    his is an excerpt from a letter in which the question presented itself as whether there was a

    superior order of priesthood than that to which I have been ordained, and the Lord gave me

    revelation upon the subject: there is no higher office in the Priesthood than that which is

    named in this epistle, and the Patriarchal Priesthood is an outshoot or ramification of this

    highest Order of Priesthood in heaven or on earth, there is none othername given for the salvation of the human family. Patriarchs

    being ordained by this one superior office in the Priesthood, which is

    the Apostleship. There is no greater authority in heaven or on earth

    than this Priesthood. I received this knowledge while writing this epistle and it is verily true, I testify, in my

    Father's name. Any other teaching is false doctrine and ought to be condemned, for it creates much confusion.

    I, in this epistle demonstrate to the satisfaction of a child, the validity of my position, again which position I

    received by direct Revelation to me upon the subject. This is an excerpt from a letter to Ogden Kraut in which

    he said that I could not be the One Mighty and Strong because I had not been ordained to the Patriarchal

    Priesthood. My Father, I also thank thee that thou hast hidden these things from the wise and the prudent and

    given them unto babes.

    As for the assertion which you make

    concerning the supposedly higher orders ofPriesthood than that which I have already re-

    ceived, I tell you in the name of God that there

    are no others higher than that which I shall

    name, in the sight of God, at any rate, for this is

    what he hath revealed unto your humble

    servant. I am frankly surprised at your lack of

    understanding of the Priesthood of the Son of

    God. I ask you, my poor Ogden, where is it

    that this Patriarchal Priesthood is conferred and

    the order of it elucidated in its fullness? Is it

    not done in a Temple dedicated unto the Most

    High? This Order of Priesthood was mentioned

    by the Prophet Joseph Smith as found in TPJS,"

    and that more concerning this priesthood

    would be later revealed when a Temple would

    be reared, in the which it would befitting and

    proper that this Order which is Patriarchalwhich is the Order handed down from Father to

    Son from the beginning, even Father Adam.

    Now I ask you, by what authority were

    Temples raised wherein this Priesthood could

    be righteously revealed? I will tell you by what

    authority they were raised and by what

    authority this supposedly higher Order of

    Priesthood was revealed: It is the Apostleship.

    The Apostleship is the highest Order of Priest-

    hood in Heaven or on earth and it

    circumscribes everything else and all other

    parts or ramifications proceed out of it and

    nothing else, saith the Lord God of Israel. What

    was Joseph Smith ordained to when he received

    authority to build temples, and administer the

  • 8/14/2019 The Revelations of Jesus Christ, Vol 1

    23/109

    THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST

    3

    ordinances and Orders of the Priesthood with

    all their offices and callings, administrations,sealings and in addition which gave him power

    to ordain, raise up and regulate the affairs of

    the Kingdom of Heaven? It was the

    Apostleship and nothing else. All Priesthood is

    merely parts or ramifications proceeding from

    the Apostleship and not hing else. The only

    office which is greater than a Patriarch is an

    Apostle, for an Apostle ordains a Patriarch and

    no one else has the authority to do so, a Bishop

    does not, and Elder does not, it is mythology

    and no where can it be substantiated

    scripturally, in any of the writings of Brigham

    Young, Joseph Smith, John Taylor, in any of

    their teachings that this is the case. But I have a

    more substantial account of it than anywhere

    else, you learned hypocrit, I have received it

    upon direct Revelation to me concerning the

    question, for I inquired of the Lord concerning

    it when I received your letter and my God who

    hath spoken unto me with power such that my

    bones quake from the manifestations of his

    might gave it to me: By what authority are tem-

    ples raised? The Apostleship. By wha t

    authority are men ordained and set apart to

    officiate in Temples wherein men are taughtconcerning the Patriarchal Order of

    Priesthood? Again, by what authority are

    Temples raised? The Apostleship. By wha t

    authority are Evangelists or Patriarchs or-

    da ined? It is this Ap os tl es hi p . And without all

    contradiction the lesser is ordained of the greater, for

    an Apostle's office circumscribes that of a Patriarch, or

    he would not have authority to ordain one. By what

    authority are the sealing powers wherein the Onewho is anointed hath power that whatsoever he

    binds on earth is bound in heaven, by what authority

    are they in association with? The Apostleship. Do

    Patriarchs or d ai n Apost les ? No . They have

    not the author ity. Do teachers ordain Bishops,

    no they do not. They do not have the authority.

    To what authority was Joseph ordained by

    Peter, James, and John to officiate in and

    regulate the affairs of the Kingdom of Heaven?

    It was the Apostleship. Was he ordained at

    some later unspecified time to the Patriarchal

    Priesthood which somehow superseded his

    ordination to the Apostleship? I say unto you

    upon Revelation, nay. If this Patriarchal Priest-

    hood proceeds forth from the Apostleship

    which he received at the hands of Peter, James

    and John, then this means that the Apostleship

    surrounds encompasses it and supersedes it (

    the Patriarchal Order of Priesthood). I have the

    keys of the Apostleship. If any man know of

    my doctrine which I have received from my

    Father, let him live it.

    To further corroborate these doctrinal state-

    ments, Brigham Young is as good an authority

    as any, for out of the mouths of two or threewitnesses shall every word be established, for if

    I stand with him, I am in good company though

    I need no help, for there are those from before

    the foundation of the world, greater than

    Brigham Young, in might, intelligence and

    power:

    We started at the South East corner with the Apostleship; then the

    Lesser Priesthood laid the second stone; we bring them in our rankbeing joined by the Lesser Priesthood at the Southwest Corner, and

    so on, which the High Priests and Elders laid; we take them under

    our wing to the North East Corner Stone, which the Twelve and

  • 8/14/2019 The Revelations of Jesus Christ, Vol 1

    24/109

    AUTHORITY OF THE SEVENTY

    4

    Seventies laid, and there again join the apostleship. (This implies

    that the Seventies as well as the Twelve, comprised the Apostleship,which office I received under the hands of one appointed unto this

    power, as Moses received the Priesthood under the hands of Jethro,

    not God as you claim.) It (the Apostleship) circum scribes every

    other Priesthood, for it is the Priesthood of Melchizedec, which is

    after the order of the Son of God. To say that a man is an Apostle, is

    equal to saying that a man is ordained to build up the Kingdom of

    God from first to last; but it is not so by saying he is orda ined a

    High Priest (or a Patriarch). (The modern church hath d eparted

    from this order in that they now after 1974, have Stake Presidents,

    who are High Priests only--ordaining Seventy, when it should be the

    opposite, indeed it is impossible according to D&C 121:36, for it to

    be otherwise, even if all the Church, as mighty an instrument as it

    was, should rise up in opposition to the heavens, as is the case, they

    should all be cut off from first to last.)

    The lesser Priesthood, then, you perceive, comes within the

    purview of the Apostleship, because a man that holds it has a right

    to act or officiate as a High Priest, as one of the High Council, as a

    Patriarch, as a Bishop, Elder, Priest, Teacher, and Deacon, and in

    every other calling that is in the Church, from first to last, when

    du ty demands it." JD 1: 135-136.

    nd duty did demand it upon the

    death of Joseph Smith. Brigham

    filled the shoes and followed in the

    wake of Joseph Smith, underrevelation. Duty demands it wh en

    the Lord specifies by direct revelation, as he did

    to Brigham by enlightening his mind

    concerning authority which he, Brigham, had to

    act in the name of the Lord in a hitherto,

    unpre ceden ted situation. But today we, the

    Church, face a greater delima than did

    Brigham, for we are faced, not with the demise

    of a Prophet-Leader, but a foretold apostacy

    from the order and truth of heaven in the most

    perniscious and dastardly manner imaginable,

    of the presiding quorums of the Church of Jesus

    Christ of Latter-Day-Saints, in the matter of theNegro receiving the blessings associated with

    and mingling with the Priesthood of the Son of

    God, a thing which has been forbidden by

    every autho rity, both ancient and "modern",

    and in other ways because of dark, evil minds,

    forsaking the above named order.

    Faced with the dilema of the disorganizationof the First Presidency, what is the order of

    Heaven with regard to the Quorum of the

    Twelve Apostles? Do they not come under and

    are directed by the First Presidency? Yes. Do

    not the Seventy, as your claim, come under the

    direction of the the Quorum of the Twelve? Yea.

    As in the case of Brigham Young and the

    Twelve, wh o were under the direction of the

    First Presidency and rightly so, upon the

    disorganization of the First Presidency, by

    death, in this case, but as in previous dispen-

    sations, as in ancient Israel, it could well have

    been apostacy, then upon direct revelation, theTwelve, being next in line, the President of the

    Quorum, would by revelation, take command

    in the name of the Lord God of Israel, as

    A

  • 8/14/2019 The Revelations of Jesus Christ, Vol 1

    25/109

    THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST

    5

    Brigham rightfully did, despite the claims of

    Joseph Smith III. Now suppose the Quorum ofthe Twelve entirely and simultaneously with

    the First Presidency, should

    become disorganized, either by

    death or the stipulations of end

    of Priesthood mentioned in

    D&C 121, who would be next

    in line? It would be the

    Seventy, even though they are

    to act only under the direction

    of the Twelve, but only if the

    Twelve are organized and

    agreeable to the Order of

    Heaven. They then wou ld

    under direct revelation step

    forward as did the Twelve

    up on the disorganization of

    the First Presidency, and take command in the

    name of the Lord God of Israel. This would be

    only the First Quor um of Seventy, and the

    President of this Quorum would then recieve

    Revelation from the Lord, authoritatively, for

    the guidance of Israel, as did Brigham as

    President of the Quor um of the Twelve. From

    the Seventy (High Priests are not to be Seventy:

    Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith) theother two presiding quorums could then be

    organized, as was the First Presidency by the

    Twelve, the Apostleship circumscribing the

    office of the First Presidency. And the Lord

    tested his Saints at that time to see which ones

    were obedient to the Spirit of the Lord, as He is

    testing them with greater or equal validity

    concerning that unto which I have been

    appointed from before the foundation of the

    world. Since the Seventy are Apostles, they too,

    under authoritative direction from the Lord

    could proceed to reorganize, by Revelation,

    both the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles andthe Quorum of the First Presidency.

    Now suppose the entire First Quorum had

    apostacized or were killed by a mob, along with

    the Twelve and First Presidency, which many

    claim is impossible, because the Lord wouldnever allow it, then the Lord could by

    Revelation to an Apostle,

    proceed to direct and reorganize

    the Kingdom of God upon the

    earth, by direct Revelation, with

    all the keys of the Priesthood

    encompassed, as Brigham

    learned by experience and by

    precept from the mouth of

    Joseph Smith himself, saith the

    Lord, but which knowledge was

    lost in succeeding generations

    through a gradual apostacy,

    within the Apostleship which is

    held and recognized of the Lord

    by that one faithful Apostle, or

    Seventy. The Lord could and has directed him

    and given him the sealing power, which is

    already, by ordination, encompassed within the

    Apostleship, the Lord merely by revelation

    agreeing that whatsoever he would bind on

    earth wou ld be boun d in heaven, etc. He

    would need no further ordination, as did not

    Brigham, by the laying on of the hands, except

    in the matter of reorganizing the otherpresiding quorums, which I am at present

    doing in the name of the Lord God of Brigham

    Young. The other quorums being the First

    Quorum of Seventy, the Twelve and the First

    Presidency, which are all absolutely necessary,

    saith the Lord, for the perfection of the Saints,

    and the work of the ministry, and shall never in

    time or in eternity be done away, for this Order

    continueth in the Resurrrection from the dead,

    saith the Lord, and shall not be abrogated

    among the wicked of the Saints of the Most

    High, by their unrighteous decrees which are

    not of me, saith the Lord, but must bemaintained exactly as set up by my servant

    Joseph in all holiness before me, saith the Lord.

    It is now that I, Art Bulla declare unto the

    world that such an apostacy has indeedoccurred among those whose duty it was to

    preserve it as handed down to them from under

    the hands of Peter, James and John, who are

    Gods, namely because of their great

    wickedness, the details of which I have received

    through direct revelation, the which I invite all

    to examine freely as to its authenticity.

    Consequently, the Lord has commanded and

    directed me to begin the work preparatory to

    the complete restoration of all of Israel among

    the nations of the earth, among those who will

    receive of his word and authoritative direction.

    The rest, saith the Lord, shall be burned at mycoming in the cloud s of heaven. There are

    others who can with power testify to the ve-

    racity and authority of this work, as witnesses,

    namely George Robert Allen and others who

    will remain unnamed at this time. All who

    ernestly pray concerning these things will

    receive it also, and I care not if the whole world

    perish, if they harden their hearts against it, for

    can they do anything more unto me, that they

    did unto the Lord's Only Begotten Son?

    P.S. The ordination to a "King" which you claim to have received is

    also circumscribed by the authoritative use of the office of the Apostle-ship. As for the assertion made by Oliver Cowdrey (He often was

    somewhat too harsh with the Twelve), that in order for a person to be

    authoritative, he must have had the saviour lay his hands upon his

    head to affirm his Apostleship, how do you know I have not? As to

    this matter, I refer you to JD 1: 121, "A Pillar in the Temple of God--

    Angels Visit The Earth". Apostle Orson Hyde

    Why?

    9

    WHY I AM THAT ONE WHO SHOULD COME

    he way that I am going to say the words that I speak is very important, in that

    many are the misconceptions about a prophet, what he looks like, talks like,

    don't the people in general recognize the Lord's anointed by the way he ap-

    pears, the way he carries himself? Joseph Smith's grandfather said of him,

    "he writes like a prophet." Paul, we understand, was of short stature, about

    five foot two, and bandy or bowlegged, and had a hawkish Roman or Jewishnose, but eyes which pierced through to eternity. I have seen as Paul, for I too

    have "come to visions and revelations of the Lord" for I could not tell if I was in my body or out

    when I conversed with (words fail) him face to face quickened by such power the tongue cleaves to

    the roof of the mouth and stops for the inadequacy. Joseph was and is a true prop het, for a short

    time after my first vision, I was given a copy of the book which he translated. I bear record, and get

    over it if you can, that I have seen and heard for myself, and have been sent as Joseph prophesied

    that I would come, having the keys of the Priesthood by lineage and by right, being accounted a

    direct descendant by blood of the kingdom, being a direct descendant of David, given from before

    the foundation of the world as a king and a priest as a witness, for I have seen and I have heard

    things which are truely beyond the power of mere words to express, while in the spirit, for the

    things of God "knoweth no man, but by the Spirit of God".

    I have received a complete volume of scripture for this generation, as others (Isaiah, Samuel,Joseph, Ezekial, Nephi, etc.) have for theirs. I testify boldly it is the truth, for I have received it from

    God, and as Paul "preached the gosple" with much contention, even so I am not afraid of a little

    contention also, for the warfare, has it not been transferred to the earth, and only the "best men bring

    forth the best works"? I fear nothing, except the might and power of the Being who spoke unto me in

    the vision, which was of such power that I spoke with him in a tongue which was at once more

    magnificent in its command of the things of the spirit and the intelligence of of light and truth than

    English with its lack of vocabulary can express, and I shall forever adore his presence, and my bones

    truely quake at the power manifested when I receive even now revelations from him, for he is a God

    of glory as Moses exclaimed, "Where is thy glory that I should worship thee, depart from me, for

    where is thy glory, Satan, that I should worship thee? For except I were quickened by his power, I

    should have withered in his presence." And my natural eyes could not have beheld, and my life has

    hung in the balance many times, as Paul said, "why stand we in jeapordy every hour, if there be no

    resurrection?" And as Joseph my brother whom I love more than my life, for with such brethren wecould have taken the world from the despots of the enemies of the dispersed of Israel, for the God of

    Israel, saith the Lord, is he not a God of battles? I have seen that Jesus was a warrior of the first rank,

  • 8/14/2019 The Revelations of Jesus Christ, Vol 1

    28/109

    THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST

    10

    and as Joseph was chased like a hart upon the mountains by the world with hell at its back, even so

    have I, Art Bulla, and I lie not, for since my first vision, all hell has been stirred up against me but Ihave been delivered from them all, that I might sing my song, and publish salvation upon the

    mountains as prophesied, for I testify that God, the God of Isaiah lives, for I have seen him and

    tasted of such might, brilliance and power and honor and intelligence the tongue cannot express it,

    for was I not removed out of this tabernacle and taken up with him for a glorious space and I

    beheld?

    And as Paul was led to Ananias to receive baptism, even so was I led by my God to the Elders of

    the Church of Jesus Christ, for as there was a controversy embroiling men of intelligence and

    sagacity of the time on the subject of religion, whether God should be worshipped in Jerusalem in the

    Temple, or on top of a mountain in Samaria, for they were of Ephraim and did they not have the

    birthright? But Jesus, the Lord's (for the Lord said unto my Lord, sit thou upon my right hand, until

    I have made my enemies thy footstool) anointed son, but only firstborn among many brethren, as I

    also, have been with him from the beginning so testify, salvation cometh of the Jews, even so I say,

    salvation cometh, (and there is a second death) and I say it boldly with all the world opposing me,

    salvation did come by the Latter- Day-Saints, for I received baptism, by entering through the gate

    wh ich is truely straight and narro w and the next day being filled with such

    might and joy and power I went boldly forth among the soldiers, and

    was not a Green Beret, over six foot in height, was he not picked up off his

    feet and set on his back by the angel of the Holy One of Israel, wh o is

    mightier than all of the armies of the earth? I say, as that sargent of the

    Green Beret attempted to play a prank behind my back, the angel

    defended my honor, and that I might be free to declare the message of

    salvation, picked the man off his feet effortlessly, and thrust him upon

    the floor unhu rt. And so I have seen and bear record that Joseph Smith

    was the Lord's anointed and I am he who should come to redeem Israel bypower such as has not been seen since Enoch if the people will gather and receive counsel from the

    God who is speaking now through my mouth unto thee O Israel, for I am he who should come, even

    as spoken by Isaiah and Joseph Smith unto whom belongeth the kingdom by lineage and by right,

    having the sealing power committed unto me, I have been appointed at the gate for this generation

    as Peter, and all power on earth or in heaven hath it not also been given unto that One mighty and

    strong, O man, and none of this generation, who I testify to will pass by me for judgment hath it not

    been committed unto me, O man, and O woman, from before the foundation of the world, and have I

    not been sent as him of old unto the Jews, who is my brother, even Jesus surnamed the Christ? And

    did not the Jews reject him, and if ye make the same mistake as they, O Israel, it shall be to thy peril,

    for my God, the God who spoke out of the heavens to the Master-Sargent, who was cursing the

    Mormons to my face, as I opened my mouth to speak, did not a voice proceed forth which shook the

    ground upon which we three stood, and did not those brave men of the army of the United States

    not hear and see for themselves, and my God is mightier than any mere arm of flesh or any nucleartipped weapon, for his power is it not mine to wield for thy salvation, O Israel, if ye will come unto

    me, even I, who art mighty and strong from before the foundation of the world, through him who

    strengtheneth me?

    Why?

    Again, I say that I am receiving revelation upon such topics as evolution, Adam-God, negro-priesthood, and also many deceptions practiced upon the ignorant Gentiles by the father of lies,

    exposing the fraud thereof to the whole world, and if the whole world disregard me in my message

    they will only sink themselves to endless woes and destruction, for did not the entire Roman world

    ignore not only Jesus, but the entire Jewish nation, even though "salvation cometh of the Jews" as

    salvation in this day until the Negro-priesthood revelation, did it not also come of the Latter-Day-

    Saints and has not the world also disregarded them as it so far has me to their peril, for their

    salvation hangeth upon the thread of the surge of life which beats within my breast to the glory of

    the Most High God? And is not my glory in the world to come greater for having endured the

    shame of the cross also? Therefor disregard not these things and turn not aside the just for a thing of

    naught as do the Gentile dogs, as Jesus would have said, which rough things which he spake of-

    fended his smooth contemporaries that they rid themselves of one so uncouth as to openly speak

    truth. And in 1979, d id I not receive my first written

    revelation, the keys of the Priesthood given unto

    my by ord ination, and the Lord gave me further

    instructions, and I was, as a testimony commanded to

    take two of them (written revelations) to that man

    who was given as my home- teacher, as they are

    called , my patiently being in the Church until that

    point, and my hometeacher in an enraged fury, tried to

    kill me for my impertinence at having claimed what was

    fact, nonetheless, despite his fury. And though my

    nose was broken, I d id receive another revelation that

    very night stating that his servants had been treated

    in just this way in all ages of the world , and was not

    Jesus crucified by such rage as that manifested at thattime. And thus through the spirit, I had seen Satan

    with his chains had blinded the minds of the Latter-

    Day-Saints, and they had become more estranged

    and hardened than the world which they were attempting to save. And is that man of sin, is he not

    revealed by these words also?1

    I am including some of the Revelations which I have received for your perusal as was given unto

    the people of old by that One who spoke unto the prophets of Israel, even so hath he spoken in these

    last days unto that One mighty and strong whose feet, are they not beautiful upon the mountains,

    and who publisheth peace, and saith unto Zion thy God, doth he not yet reign2? Even so judge ye,

    for with what judgment ye judge, that shall ye also be judged, and I care not for this world having

    beheld his glory, and again I bear testimony that I am he who should come, and though I bear

    testimony of myself, yet there are ten-thousand who shall return in the day with Enoch, who are

    12 Thess. 2:3-11

    2See Isaiah 52.

    FIRST VISION

    While journeying on foot about 10:00 P.M. in the east, being inducted into the armed forces the next day,

    being on the way to the bus station to travel to the armed forces induction station in Raleigh, N.C, I received

    the following vision, while on the road on foot:

    ecember 29, 1969, while

    enwrapted in a heavenly

    vision, It seemed that I, Art

    Bulla, was removed out of my

    body, or whether in the body or

    out of it I could not tell, and I

    beheld his face, and He spake

    unto me face to

    face as one man speaks unto

    another for forty-five minutes or

    an hour, and whether in the body

    or out of it, I could not tell, for I

    beheld his glory, which surpasses

    all understanding, and spake while

    in the vision, in a much better

    tongue than any spoken by man at

    this time, which I supposed to be the AdamicTongue, my understanding being quickened by

    such might and intelligence and power that it is

    beyond the mind of man unaided by the Spirit

    of Revelation which dwells yet within me, to

    comprehend, and indeed no words can convey,

    for it seemed that I was transfigured1

    before

    Him of whom I speak, my God in whom I bear

    record as others have before me, that He lives,

    for I too have seen Him. And tongue cannot

    1

    3 Nephi 28:13-15

    express his matchless might, glory, power and

    intelligence, and I shall forever adore his glory,

    for having once beheld his face and felt of his

    love and might and power and beheld things

    which I cannot convey, for there is no language,

    I must, I MUST obtain his presence, and I shall

    not becontent with anything else, this world or

    its allurments. And having been or-

    dained unto the Holy Order of God

    which is after the Order of Melchizedec,

    even the Holy Apostleship, the keys of

    which I hold, I bear record of my

    Father, for I have seen Him and con-

    versed with him, and I testify that He

    shall return in this the Latter Day as

    soon as my people are straightened from this

    crooked and perverse generation which shall be destroyedby the might of his power, and that they be gathered out

    according to the Revelations which are being given unto me,

    almost daily at this time, which is one of the darkest periods

    and most wicked because of unbelief in the history of the

    earth, that Zion may descend and that the heavens and the

    earth mingle and become One, as prayed by the Only

    Begotten, even my brother Jesus of Nazereth. Yea, my

    Father, I pray that thy will be done and thy Kingdom

    come on earth as it is in heaven.

    Even so. Amen.
