Section 95
1–6, The Saints are chastened for their failure to build the house of the Lord; 7–10, The Lord desires to use His house to endow His people with power from on high; 11–17, The house is to be dedicated as a place of worship and for the school of the Apostles.
1. Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you whom I love, and whom I
love I also chasten that their sins may be
forgiven, for with the
chastisement I prepare a way for their
deliverance in all things out of
temptation, and I have loved you—
1.
2. Wherefore, ye must needs be chastened and stand rebuked before my face;
2.
3. For ye have sinned against me a very grievous sin, in that ye have not considered the great commandment in all things, that I have given unto you concerning the building of mine
house;
3.
4. For the preparation wherewith I design to prepare mine apostles to
prune my vineyard for the last time, that I may bring to pass my
strange act, that I may
pour out my Spirit upon all flesh—
4.
5. But behold, verily I say unto you, that there are many who have been ordained among you, whom I have called but few of them are
chosen.
5.
6. They who are not chosen have sinned a very grievous sin, in that they are
walking in
darkness at noon-day.
6.
7. And for this cause I gave unto you a commandment that you should call your
solemn assembly, that your
fastings and your
mourning might come up into the ears of the Lord of
Sabaoth, which is by interpretation, the
creator of the first day, the beginning and the end.
7.
8. Yea, verily I say unto you, I gave unto you a commandment that you should
build a house, in the which house I design to
endow those whom I have
chosen with power from on high;
8.
9. For this is the
promise of the Father unto you; therefore I command you to tarry, even as mine apostles at Jerusalem.
9.
10. Nevertheless, my servants sinned a very grievous sin; and
contentions arose in the
school of the prophets; which was very grievous unto me, saith your Lord; therefore I sent them forth to be chastened.
10.
11. Verily I say unto you, it is my will that you should build a house.
If you keep my commandments you shall have power to build it.
11.
12. If you
keep not my commandments, the
love of the Father shall not continue with you, therefore you shall
walk in darkness.
12.
13. Now here is wisdom, and the
mind of the Lord—let the house be built, not after the manner of the world, for I give not unto you that ye shall live after the manner of the world;
13.
14. Therefore, let it be built after the
manner which I shall show unto three of you, whom ye shall appoint and ordain unto this power.
14.
15. And the size thereof shall be fifty and five feet in width, and let it be sixty-five feet in length, in the inner court thereof.
15.
16. And let the lower part of the inner court be dedicated unto me for your sacrament offering, and for your preaching, and your fasting, and your praying, and the
offering up of your most holy desires unto me, saith your Lord.
16.
17. And let the higher part of the inner court be dedicated unto me for the
school of mine apostles, saith Son
Ahman; or, in other words, Alphus; or, in other words, Omegus; even Jesus Christ your
Lord. Amen.
17.
