And it shall come to pass in that day, that the' mountains shall drop down new wine and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers Of Judah shall flow with waters, and the fountains shall come forth of the house of the Lord and shall water the valley of Shittim. Egypt shall be a desolation, and Eclom shall be a desolatrwil-dernesfor the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land. "But Judali shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed; for the Lord dwelleth in Zion. Let mo make a few remarks here in relation to the difference between Zion and Jerusalem. Zion will bs favored with the presence of the Lord before the Jews are permitted to behold him. The Lord will come to the temple of Zion before he comes to the temple of Jerusalem. Before lie comes in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory he will manifest himself in the city ani temple of Zion; or in other words, all the pure in heart who are permitted in those days to enter into the Lords temple in Zion, which will be built on this continent, the Lord will reveal his face unto them, ' they will see him and he will dwelljin the" midst' His throne rwill be there. This land the land given to the children of ancient Joseph, now called the American continent-w- ill be the land of and reat central capital the Zion, on this land will be the New jerp alem; and the inhabitants of that city and their habitations will be overshadowed by the glory of God. But after he has come to and roafed out of Zfdnf "after lie" baa suddenly come to his temple, . and visited his people there In the character of a Shepherd, and dwelt in their midst for a long space of time, be then goes with all his . Saints to visit old Jerusalem, the last work before the day" of rest , shall come being! to --visit- those nations that are gathered together in th great winepresetobetrodden without the city on the east eide of the city, and there the blood ot horses, camels and men will he mingled together, and in thos small valleys, so great will be the number slain that the blood will reach to the horses bridles for a certain distance, according to the words of the Lord. I do not know that I have time to enter into a full investigation of some other terrible judgments that are to come, but 1 will refer to a few of them mentioned in the revelations of St. John. Before doing so, however, let me say for your information that the Lord gave through tho Prophet Joseph 'Smith what is termed a key to Johns revelation. The Prophet on one occasion asked the Lord what was meant by the sounding s, , - of-Zio- m: I'. jou p.ual, lc3a.it, Utah February mt- X B there was a work in the beginning which be performed on the seventh day, such as planting the garden and placing man therein," so there will be a certain work to be performed in the beginning of the seventh thousand years, namely, the resurrection and redemption of man, including the heathen nations and those people in prison who have died without the law and, have been punished for their sins. When the Lord has caused these seven angels to sound their trumps he will bring about all these purposes which he has ordained, and whioh must be accomplished in that morning. Before Jesus appears in the clouds of heaven they are to sound to prepare tbe way of the Lord before his coming. What will take place when they Bound2I-will.tel- l you some few things. When the first angel sounds there will come upon the inhabitants of the earth a great hailstorm, mingled with fire and blood, and so severe will be this storm of fire and blood, that one-tbirof the trees will be destroyed, nd all the green grass .will be horned up. The second angel will sound his trump, and the Lord will pour out his judgments upon the water, and a third part of tbe sea will become blood, and in consequence of tbe corruption thereof part of all the animals living in the sea will die. When the, third angel sounds his trump, John says he saw a star falLfromJieaven toeartiv burning as it were like a lamp, and it fell upon the fountains and rivers of water, and they were turned into bitterness, and the name of the star-wacal led -- u Worm woocITahd s great were the numbers of thejeoi pie who perished and died because of the bitterness of the waters. The fourth angel will found his trump and certain judgments will follow. Bv and by the fifth angel will sound hi trump, and an angel will descend holding , the key of what is termed the bottomless pit, and he will, open the door ,of this , d one-thir- d , Plk.ftndJhej;ehAlIi35uqJtefrom. certain terrible creatures called locusts. And it will be given unto them to torment men five months tbe time which is to intervene between the sounding the fifth and sixth trumpets, and during that time these awful creatures, such as neither we nor our fathers inalt the" generations before us, have ever seen. on the earth, will jf torraent'thwrcked:These crea- with This same class never the such as animals earth paw nor heard of, only as they heard of them in the revelations of St.John. Animals with brimstone and fire iseuing from their mouths, having tails like eerpents, and heads to their tails, and with these d part of the inhabitants of the earth are to be destroyed. How long will it be before they are destroyed? There will be at least a year pass away between the sounding of the aixth and seventh trumpets. This great army is prepared for a day and an hour, a month and a year. Now I have named some of thejudgment, not all, that will transpire before the coming of the Son of Man. Let me refer in a few words to some of the last ones that will come before Jesus makes hisappearance,called the seven last plagues. I shall only refer to a few of them. One of the four beasts gives seven vials filled with the wrath of God to the seven angels that came out of the temple and tabernacle in heaven, and these vials are to be poured out tfpon the earth. We fiod that the inhabitants are to be visited with greater judgments than what they have been heretofore, so much so that when the second angel pours out his vial upon the great waters, instead of a third part of them becoming blood, they all become as the blood of a dead man; and there shall not any living thing be preserved in the great mass of the waters on our globe, s one-thir- sea will perish, the whole ocean becoming as blood of a dead mant Quite a difference- between the blood of a dead man andthe. blood that comes from a living man :ono is veryjaauseouswhen compared with the other! No wonder then that everything hav- ing life in the sea should perieh A third acgel pours out his vial o nJheTbu ntaina.aud river,-a- nd they also become blood. -- You have the. already learned that-wh- en third angel sounded his trump the third part of the waters become hitter, with wormwood, and-- it war accompanied by certain judgments not universal, the last plagues are poured out the fountains and rivers of water, and the ccean become blood. Does this cause the people to repent? One would imagine, that all the earth would repent when they see 'judgments of this klod: yet we are told that for this the.. people. jwilLblas--phem- e God, because of their plagsores and pains, and the calues, amities they have to endure They are given up to hardness of heart, the Spirit of God is withdrawn from them, and instead of repenting of their evil deeds, their mur-- but-wh- en tures have wings, hair like women, teeth like lions, tails like scorpions, and with their ktings they will torment the wicked for five months.
