Isaiah 34
4 And all the host of heaven
shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all
their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off
from the vine, and as a falling fig from the
fig tree.
2 Peter 3
10 But the day of
the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall
pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat,
the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Alma 5
17 Or do ye imagine to yourselves that
ye can lie unto the Lord in that day, and say—Lord, our works have been
righteous works upon the face of the earth—and that he will save you?
18 Or otherwise, can ye imagine
yourselves brought before the tribunal of God with your souls filled with guilt and
remorse, having a remembrance of all your guilt, yea, a perfect
remembrance of all your wickedness, yea, a remembrance that ye have set at
defiance the commandments of God?
19 I say unto you, can ye look up to
God at that day with a pure heart and clean hands? I say unto you, can you
look up, having the image of God engraven upon your
countenances?
20 I say unto you, can ye think of
being saved when you have yielded yourselves to become subjects to the devil?
21 I say unto you, ye will know at
that day that ye cannot be saved; for there can no man be saved except his
garments are washed white; yea, his garments must be purified until they are
cleansed from all stain, through the blood of him of whom it has been spoken
by our fathers, who should come to redeem his people from their sins.
22 And now I ask of you, my brethren,
how will any of you feel, if ye shall stand before the bar of God, having your garments stained
with blood and all manner of filthiness? Behold, what will these
things testify against you?
Hebrews 13
8 Jesus Christ the
same yesterday, and to day, and forever.
Malachi 3
6 For I am the
Lord, I change not: therefore ye sons of
Jacob are not consumed.
Psalms 102
27 But thou are the
same, and thy years shall have no end.
Malachi 3
6 For I am the
Lord, I change not: therefore ye sons of
Jacob are not consumed.
Matthew 21
21 Jesus answered and said unto them,
Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall
not only do this which is done to the fig
tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be
thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask
in prayer, believing, ye
shall receive.
Mark 16
15 And he said unto them, Go ye
into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is baptized
shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my
name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 They shall take up serpents; and
if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands
on the sick, and they shall recover.
Nahum 1
5 The
mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his
presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
6 Who can stand before his indignation?
and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like
fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.
Jeremiah 51
1 Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will raise up against
Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me,
a destroying wind;
Job 10
3 Is it
good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands,
and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
Matthew 18
10 Take heed
that ye despise not one
of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels
do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
Mark 11
22 And
Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou
removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that
those things which he saith shall come to pass; he
shall have whatsoever
he saith.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever
ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them,
and ye shall have them.
Philippians 2
12 Wherefore, my
beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much
more in my absence, work out
your own salvation with fear and trembling.
James 4
3 Ye ask, and receive not,
because ye ask amiss, that ye
may consume it upon your lusts.

Mormon 9
1 And now, I
speak also concerning those who do not believe in Christ.
2 Behold, will ye believe in the day of
your visitation—behold, when the Lord shall come, yea, even that great day
when the earth shall
be rolled together as a scroll, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat,
yea, in that great day when ye shall be brought to stand before the Lamb of
God—then will ye say that there is no God?
3 Then
will ye longer deny the Christ, or can ye behold the Lamb of God? Do ye
suppose that ye shall dwell with him under a consciousness of your guilt? Do ye suppose that
ye could be happy to dwell with that holy Being, when your souls are racked
with a consciousness of guilt that ye have ever abused his laws?
4 Behold, I say unto you
that ye would be more miserable to dwell with a holy and just God, under a
consciousness of your filthiness before him, than ye would to dwell with the
damned souls in hell.
5 For behold, when ye
shall be brought to see your nakedness before God, and also the glory of God,
and the holiness of Jesus Christ, it will kindle a flame of unquenchable fire
upon you.
6 O then ye unbelieving, turn ye unto
the Lord; cry mightily unto the Father in the name of Jesus, that perhaps ye
may be found spotless,
pure, fair, and white, having been cleansed by the blood of the Lamb, at that
great and last day.
7 And again I speak unto
you who deny the revelations of God, and say that they are done away, that
there are no revelations, nor prophecies, nor gifts, nor healing, nor
speaking with tongues, and the interpretation of tongues;
8 Behold I say unto you,
he that denieth these things knoweth
not the gospel of Christ; yea, he has not read the scriptures; if so, he does
not understand them.
9 For do we not read that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and in him
there is no variableness neither shadow of changing?
10 And now, if ye have imagined up
unto yourselves a god who doth vary, and in whom there is shadow of changing,
then have ye imagined up unto yourselves a god who is not a God of miracles.
11 But behold, I will
show unto you a God of miracles, even the God of Abraham, and the God of
Isaac, and the God of Jacob; and it is that same God who created the heavens
and the earth, and all things that in them are.
12 Behold, he created Adam, and by Adam came the fall of man. And because of
the fall of man came Jesus Christ, even the
Father and the Son; and because of Jesus Christ came the redemption of man.
13 And because of the redemption of man,
which came by Jesus
Christ, they are brought
back into the presence of the Lord; yea, this is wherein all men are redeemed, because the
death of Christ bringeth to pass the resurrection,
which bringeth to pass a redemption from an endless
sleep, from which sleep all men shall be awakened by the power of God when
the trump shall sound; and they shall come forth, both small and great, and
all shall stand before his bar, being redeemed and loosed from this eternal
band of death, which death is a temporal death.
14 And then cometh the
judgment of the Holy One upon them; and then cometh the time that he that is filthy shall be filthy still; and he that
is righteous shall be
righteous still; he
that is happy
shall be happy
still; and he that is unhappy
shall be unhappy still.
15 And now, O all ye that have
imagined up unto yourselves a god who can do no miracles, I would ask of you,
have all these things passed, of which I have spoken? Has the end come yet?
Behold I say unto you, Nay; and God has not ceased to be a God of miracles.
16 Behold, are not the things that God
hath wrought marvelous in our eyes? Yea, and who can comprehend the marvelous
works of God?
17 Who shall say that it was not a
miracle that by his word the heaven and the earth should be; and by the power
of his word man was created of the dust of the earth; and by the power of his
word have miracles been wrought?
18 And who shall say that Jesus Christ
did not do many mighty miracles? And there were many mighty miracles wrought
by the hands of the apostles.
19 And if there were
miracles wrought then, why has God ceased to be a God of miracles and yet be
an unchangeable Being? And behold, I say unto you he changeth not; if so he would
cease to be God; and he ceaseth not to be God, and
is a God of miracles.
20 And the reason why
he ceaseth to do miracles among the children of men
is because that they dwindle in unbelief, and depart from the right way, and
know not the God in whom they should trust.
21 Behold, I say unto
you that whoso believeth in Christ, doubting nothing, whatsoever he shall ask the Father in the name
of Christ it shall be
granted him; and this promise is unto all, even unto the ends of
the earth.
22 For behold, thus said Jesus Christ, the Son of
God, unto his disciples who should tarry, yea, and also to all his disciples,
in the hearing of the multitude: Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature;
23 And he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, but
he that believeth not shall be damned;
24 And these signs shall follow them that believe—in my name
shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall
take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them;
they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover;
25 And whosoever shall
believe in my name, doubting
nothing, unto him will I confirm all my words, even unto the ends
of the earth.
26 And now, behold, who can stand against the works of the Lord?
Who can deny his sayings?
Who will rise up
against the almighty power of the Lord?
Who will
despise the works of the Lord?
Who will despise the
children of Christ? Behold, all ye who are despisers of the works of
the Lord, for ye shall wonder and perish.
27 O then despise not, and wonder not, but
hearken unto the words of the Lord, and ask the Father in the name of Jesus
for what things soever
ye shall stand in need. Doubt
not, but be believing,
and begin as in times of old, and come unto the Lord with all your heart,
and work out your own salvation with fear and trembling
before him.
28 Be wise in the days
of your probation; strip yourselves of all uncleanness; ask not, that ye may consume it on your lusts,
but ask with a firmness unshaken, that ye will yield to no temptation, but
that ye will serve the true and living God.
29 See that ye are not
baptized unworthily; see that ye partake not of the sacrament of Christ
unworthily; but see that ye do all things in worthiness, and do it in the
name of Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God; and if ye do this, and
endure to the end, ye will in nowise be cast out.
30 Behold, I speak unto you
as though I spake from the dead; for I know that ye
shall have my words.
31 Condemn me not
because of mine imperfection, neither my father, because of his imperfection,
neither them who have written before him; but rather give thanks unto God
that he hath made manifest unto you our imperfections, that ye may learn to
be more wise than we have been.
32 And now, behold, we have
written this record according to our knowledge, in the characters which are
called among us the reformed Egyptian, being handed down and altered by us,
according to our manner of speech.
33 And if our plates
had been sufficiently large we should have written in Hebrew; but the Hebrew
hath been altered by us also; and if we could have written in Hebrew, behold,
ye would have had no imperfection in our record.
34 But the Lord knoweth the things which we have written, and also that
none other people knoweth our language; and because
that none other people knoweth our language,
therefore he hath prepared means for the interpretation thereof.
35 And these things are
written that we may rid our garments of the blood of our brethren, who have
dwindled in unbelief.
36 And behold, these
things which we have desired concerning our brethren, yea, even their
restoration to the knowledge of Christ, are according to the prayers of all
the saints who have dwelt in the land.
37 And may the Lord
Jesus Christ grant that their prayers may be answered according to their
faith; and may God the Father remember the covenant which he hath made with
the house of Israel; and may he bless them forever, through faith on the name
of Jesus Christ. Amen.
