JUDGMENTS AND PROMISE
Given to R. E. Burgess, of Knobnoster, Missouri, April 18, 1930, at Independence, during the General Conference.
Brother Burgess says: "I was awakened about 5 o'clock on the date above mentioned, and the Spirit said to me: 'Arise and write for the instruction of my people.' "
Hearken unto me, my people,
Saith the Lord your God today,
Hear ye now this admonition
Which my Spirit to you doth say.
I have spoken through my prophets
Telling o the days to come,
When my judgments will be poured out
Without measure; fail shall none.
Pestilence and also famine,
Wind and rain my wrath shall show,
Lightning and the awful thunder
Spread destruction here below.
I've set for you a task, my people,
Before you stands an open door;
Enter ye the task to accomplish,
Zion beckons; haste ye more.
Then ye shall behold my city,
Fair and glorious as the sun,
Rise in her celestial beauty,
Haste! fulfill my will; be one.
