Listen Up, Everyone!
God, the one who rules from above and sees everything, is speaking. Pay attention, no matter where you are—whether nearby, far away, or on some distant island. Nobody can escape His voice. One day, every eye will see, every ear will hear, and every heart will feel His truth.
A Warning for All
For those who rebel against God, sorrow is coming. Secrets won’t stay hidden—everything will be exposed. God’s voice is going out to everyone, carried by the disciples He’s chosen in these final days. They’ve been sent, and nothing will stop them, because He has commanded it.
Here’s the Deal
This is God’s authority and His introduction to His book of commandments for the world. Take it seriously! God’s words will come true. Those who share His message are empowered to seal judgments on the earth and in heaven. The rebellious will face the full force of His justice on the day He comes to make everything right.
Prepare Yourself!
Get ready! God’s judgment is near. His anger is burning, and His sword is drawn—it will strike the earth. Those who refuse to listen to Him or His servants, and those who ignore His prophets and apostles, will be cut off. People have broken His covenant and turned away from Him, chasing their own desires and worshiping what’s temporary. All of it will come crashing down.
Why This Matters
Knowing the calamities that are coming, God spoke to Joseph Smith and gave him commandments to share with the world. He’s using the humble and the weak to bring down the strong so that no one will rely on human wisdom or power but will instead trust in Him. All of this is meant to strengthen faith, establish His eternal covenant, and spread His gospel everywhere, even to rulers and kings.
God’s Purpose
God gave these commandments through His servants, speaking in their language so people could understand. When they made mistakes, He showed them the way forward. When they sought wisdom, He taught them. When they sinned, He corrected them so they could repent and grow stronger.
A New Beginning
Through Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon, God is bringing His church out of the shadows and into the light. It’s the only true church that pleases Him as a whole. He doesn’t tolerate sin but forgives those who repent and follow His commandments. Those who don’t repent will lose even the light they’ve been given.
God’s Call to All
God doesn’t play favorites. He wants everyone to know the truth. The time is coming when peace will be taken from the earth, and evil will rule its own domain. But God will protect His people and judge the world in righteousness.
Trust the Message
Everything God has said is true and will happen. His words stand forever—whether spoken by Him directly or through His servants, it’s all the same. His Spirit testifies to the truth, and that truth will never fade.
