Absurdity

Section 60: Absurdity

  1. This is what the Lord says to the elders of his church: I'm glad you're here. 1
  2. But I'm not pleased with some of you. You're afraid to open your mouths. So wo to you, because I'm angry with you. 2
  3. If they aren't more faithful to me, I'll take away what little they have. 3
  4. Because I, the Lord, rule the heavens above and the armies below. When I make up my jewels, everyone will know how powerful I am. 4
  5. Now about your journey. Build a craft (I don't care what kind, whatever seems good to you) and travel to St. Louis. 5
  6. From there, Sidney Rigdon, Joseph Smith, Jun., and Oliver Cowdery will travel to Cincinnati. 6
  7. In Cincinnati they will shout and lift up holy hands. 7
  8. Everyone else will leave St. Louis, two by two, to preach to the wicked. 8
  9. Edward Partridge will give some of the money that I gave him to the elders. 10
  10. Here's a commandment for you: Don't idle away your time while preaching to the wicked. 13
  11. When you get to Zion, preach to the wicked. 14
  12. Shake off the dust of from your feet and wash them, as a testimony against those who reject your preaching. (But don't do it while they're watching.) 15
  13. Joseph Smith, Jun.'s mouth will tell Sidney Rigdon and Oliver Cowdery what to do. Then he'll tell the rest of you. Amen. 17
