Show EARLY DAY PROPHECY BEING FULFILLED KVhUvl (o Krtwin UusMon and Theodore Tu'-'icy on or About e.Liy C, is!: Israel to help you build it.

Power will be given to the White Horse to rebuke nations from afar off and they will be one with the white horse, but when the law goes forth, they will obey it, for the law will go forth from Eion. ' The last great struggle Zion will have to contend with, will be when the whole of America will be made the Zion of our God. Those opposing will be called Gog and Magog. The nations of the world will be led by the Russian Czar, and the power will be great; but all opposition will be overcome, over-come, and this land will be the Zion of our God." These words of the Prophet made a strange impression upon me which I have never fo-rrottcn. In about two weeks later I was at a meeting where he preached a scrm.cn which he said would fce t. greatest of his life: and on that otcasicn he related the so that the subject btcnte firm- ly rooted in my memory f.f.d I ! rCow. thtreiote, I t ?--::? these ! are the inspired words of the Prophet Jr:tph Smith as he stood 1 looking up into Heaven. His cetmteitan.e became vkite and transparent. He looked as if he had as much of the Keavcn'.y in- fluer.ee as he could bear and stay with the Saints. His voice was I powerful and his words cut like a I two-edged sword, i (Signed) A. G. Guancue. Edwin Rushton. Grand review7 of the Nauvoo Legion was held in Nauvoo. The 1 Prophet Joseph Smith compli- mented them for the good disoi-I disoi-I pline and the evolutions perform-I perform-I ed. The weather being hot he called i for a glass of water; with the j glass of water in his hand, lie I said: -I will drink you a toast to the ovtlivow of the inobocrats," ,,,.! lie did in the following 'i,So: " j Hoiv is wishing;' they were in j o middle of the sea in a stone ! 00, with iron paddles, and a , swallow the canoe and the Mil swallow the shark, and him-jf him-jf locked up in the North East rner of Hell, the key lost and : Mind man hunting for it." i The next morning a man, who ;ard the prophet, give the toast, ftumed to visit the mansion of prophet and so abused him rj-ji bad language, that he was SS" out' by- the"TProphet I it was while the two were out jst my attention was attracted i o them, and hearing the man speaking in a loud voice, I went' toward them, the man finally! k-avimv. There were then present the Prophet Joseph Smith, Theodore Theo-dore Thurley and myself. The prophet began talking to us of the mobbings and drivings and the persecutions we as a people had endured. "But," he said, " we will have all the mobbings they want. Don't wish them any harm, for when you see their sufferings, you will shed bitter tears for them." While this conversation was going on we stood near his south wicker gate in a triangle. Turning to me he said: "I want to tell you something. In the future I will speak in parables like unto John j the Revelator." (Little did I think j that the Prophet of the Lord would so soon be slain in cold blood.) and come with the intention of malting peace not to subdue the 1 nation. They will find the na- ! tion so broken up, and so many ; claiming government, till there will i be no responsible government, i Then it will seem to other nations : of powers as though England had taken possession of the Country, j The Black K'jrse will flee to the 1 iitve.chre ,c:td veill join with there; for they v.iil have the tzar of becoming be-coming slaves aeain, knowing ' EiiS'and did not believe in slavery. ' Fleeing to them they believe would make them safe. Armed with British bayonets, the doings of the ! Black Horse will be terrible. j So the Pronhet said he could ; not bear to look longer upon the ; scenes as shown to him in vision, ! that he asked the Lord to close the scene. Continuing he said, ! "During this time the great White I Horse will have gathered strength, j sending out Elders to gather the I honest in heart among the Pale Horse of people of the United States as it was given by inspiration' inspira-tion' of the Lord. In these days God 'will set up a kingdom never more to be thrown down, for other kingdoms to come unto, and those kingdoms that will not let the Gospel be preached will be humbled hum-bled until they will. England, Ger-' Ger-' many, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Holland, and Belgium ! have a considerable amount of the blood of Israel among their peo-i peo-i pie, which must be gathered. These , kingdoms will submit to the king-j king-j dom of God England will be the . last of these kingdoms to surrender; sur-render; but when she does, she I will do as a whole in comparison : as she threw off the Catholic J yoke. The nobility know the Gospel Gos-pel is true, but it has not enough pomp and grandeur and mflucace to them to embrace it. They are proud and will not acknowledge j the kingdom of God or come unto : it until they see the power which it will have. I Peace and safety in the Rocky Mountains will be protected by a cordon of the White Horse. The coming of the Ten Tribes, the coming of the Messiah among this people will be so natural that only I' those who. see him will know that he has come. But he will come ' r.ttd give His laws unto Zion and j minister unto His pople. This wn.ll t not be His coming in the clouds of Heaven to take vengence on the wicked of the world. The Temple in Jackson County will be built in this generation. The Saints will think that there will not be time to build it; but with all the great hedp you will receive you can put up a great Temple quickly. You will have all the gold, silver, and precious stones, for these things only will be used for the beautifying of the Temple. All the skilled mechanics you want and the Ten Tribes of Continuing, he said, "You will go to the Rocky Mountains and you will see a great and a mightlv people established which I will call the "While Horse" of peace and Safety." When the Prophet said "You' will see," I asked him where he. would be at that time. He answered, ans-wered, "I shall never go there." j "Your enemies will continue to follow you with persecutions and they will make obnoxious laws rtvninst you in Congress to destroy des-troy the White Horse; but you will have a friend or two to de-' tend you and throw out the worst part of the laws so they will not hurt you much. You must con-! tinue to petition Congress all the 1 time; but they will treat you like strangers and aliens; and they will not give you your rights but will govern you with strangers and '. commissioners. "You will see the Constitution j of the United States almost destroyed. des-troyed. It will hang by a thread,' and that thread as fine as the ' finest silk fibre." I At this point the Prophet's coun-' tenance became sad. "Because," as he said, "I love the Constitut-tion; Constitut-tion; it was made by the Inspiration Inspira-tion of God, and it will be pre-! served and saved by the efforts' of the White Horse and the Red Horse, who will combine in its defense. The White Horse will raise 1 an ensign on the tops of the mountains of peace and safety, where all nations may flee unto for peace and safety. The White Horse will find the mountains full of mineral and they will become be-come very rich. You will see silver sil-ver piled up in the streets (at this time it must be remembered, it was not known that the precious metals met-als existed then in the Rocky Mountains or California). You will see gold piled up like sand. Gold will be of little valus even in a Mercantile capacity, for the people of the world will have something else to do in seeking for salvation. The time will come when the banks of every nation will fail and only two places will be safe where people can deposit their gold and treasure. The places will be with the White Horse and in England's vaults. A terrible revolution will take place in the land of America, such as has never been known before; for the land will be left without with-out a supreme government and every species of wickedness will run rampant. It will be so terrible that father will be against son and son against father; mother against daughter and daughter against mother. The most terrible scenes of murder and bloodshed and rapine that has ever been looked upon will take place. Peace will be taken from the earth and there will be no peace only in the Rocky Mountains. This will cause manv hundreds and thousands of the honest in heart of the world to gather there, not because they would be saints, but for safety and because they would not take up the sword against their neighbors. You will be so numerous that you will be in danger of famine, but not for want of seed time and harvest, but so many , will have to be fed. Many will come with bundles bun-dles under their arms to escape the calamities and there vill be no escape only by fleeing to Zion. Those who come to you will try to keep the laws and be one with you, for they see your unity and the greatness of your organization. The Turkish empire or the Crescent Cres-cent will be one of the first powers pow-ers that will be disrupted as a power, for freedom must be given for the Gospel to be preached in the Holy Land. The Lord took the best blood of the nations and planted them on the small islands now called England of Great Britain, and gave them great power in the nations na-tions for a thousand years. Their power will continue with them that they may keep the balance of power, that they may keep Russia from sweeping over all the world. England and France are now bitter enemies, but they will be allied together in order to keep Russia from conquering the world. The two Popes, Greek and Catholic, Cath-olic, will come together and be t united. 1Th6 Protestant Religions do not know how much they are indebited to Henry VTXI, for throwing off . the Pope's bull and establishing the Protestant faith. He was the only monarch who could do so at that time, and he did it because this nation was at his back to sustain him. One of the peculiar features in England is the established red coat, a uniform making so remarkable remark-able a mark to shoot at; and yet they have conquered whereever they have gone. The reason for this will be known by them some day. The Lion and the Unicorn of England is the ensign of Israel. Is-rael. The wisdom and statemanship of England comes from there being so much of the blood of Israel in the nation. Wliila the terrible revolutions of which mention has been made is going on, England will be naturally nat-urally neutral until it beeox-.e so inhuman that she will interfere to stop the shedding of blood. England Eng-land and France will then unite |
