PROPHECY BY D. A. HUTCHINGS

Given April 9, 1912

Verily, thus saith the Lord: Your prayers and songs have come up before me and I am well pleased with them; come, let us reason together, saith the Spirit. I have watched over my church with jealous care and I have mine angels to instruct and counsel my people; yea, mine angels are with you this morning and their holy influence will be felt by you. Your prayers have come up before me. The harvest is ripe; send forth more laborers.

Come, listen to my instructions I will give you. Look around now and see my servants. Am I not raising up servants to carry forth my gospel? Yea, even to the nations of the earth. Now listen to my instructions; the earth is mine; have I not placed treasures in the bowels of the earth? Could not I send my servants and reveal unto them where they are? You say why do I not do it that my work may prosper. Yea, my work must be done in mine own way. Have not I blessed many of you with the things of this world, and many of you have not consecrated of your means according to my law? Therefore pay your tithes and make your consecrations. Behold, I have established the Order of Enoch amongst you, and some opposed it. Now listen to the counsel I will give you: there are men among you I will bless and strengthen, yea, by my strong arm will I strengthen and uphold them. Give heed unto my servants that I have placed in my church to carry on this work. Place in their hands the necessary means, so that my servants can be sent forth to the nations of the earth and the Isles of the sea, and I will raise up mine army of young men and send them forth with a strong arm; I will fill their hearts with love and their minds with wisdom, and give them inspiration; yea, I will give the endowment I have promised my people, and they will go forth to the nations of the earth and the Isles of the sea, and preach my gospel to them in their own tongues inspired by my Spirit.

Some of you wonder how Zion will be redeemed, and my temple be built on the sacred spot my servants consecrated by my power. Hark! and listen to the voice of my Spirit, and I will instruct you. The Lamanites will be gathered into my fold and will comply with my law and consecrate their means. I am the Lord, I change not, my temple shall be reared on the sacred spot, and I will overshadow it with my power. Therefore, doubt not concerning it, obey my law and keep my commandments and leave the rest in my hands. Amen.
