2 And the day shall come when the nations of the earth shall tremble and fear because of her terrible ones.

3 But all things must come to pass in their time.

4 Wherefore, be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work. And out of small things proceedeth that which is great.

5 For, behold, I say unto you that she shall be an ensign unto the people, and there shall come unto her out of every nation under heaven.

6 Yea, Zion shall flourish, and the glory of the Lord shall be upon her.

7 Behold, the Lord requireth the heart and a willing mind; therefore the willing and obedient shall eat the good of the land of Zion in these last days, and shall be planted in the stead of the rebellious.

8 And even the bishop, who is a judge, and his counselors, if they are not faithful in their stewardships, shall be condemned, and shall be cut off out of the land of Zion, and shall be sent away, and shall not inherit the land.

9 For, verily I say that the rebellious are not of the blood of Ephraim;

10 Wherefore, it shall come to pass that they who say² they are apostles and prophets, and are³ not, shall be known, and they shall be plucked out.

11 And liars and hypocrites shall be proved by the inhabitants of Zion, who shall judge all things pertaining to Zion.

12 Behold, I the Lord, have made my church in these last days like unto a judge to judge the nations, sitting on a hill, or in a high place: the mountain of the Lord.⁴
