It is not given to me to say the month, the day,
or the hour; but it is given unto me to say that that time is nigh at hand. The time is drawing near (much nearer
than scarcely any of us can now comprehend) when Joseph will be clothed upon with immortality, when his
brother Hyrum will be clothed upon with immortality, when the martyrs will be raised from the dead, together
with their faithful brethren who have performed a good mission in the spirit world − they, too, will be called
to assist in the work of the glorious resurrection. The Lord Jesus, who was the first fruits of the dead, the first
fruit of them that sleep, and who holds the keys of the resurrection, will bring to pass the resurrection of the
Prophet Joseph and his brethren, and will set them to work in bringing about the resurrection of their brethren
as He has set them to work in all the other branches of the labor from the beginning. And the Lord Jesus will
appear and show Himself unto His servants in His temple in holy places, to counsel and instruct and direct. He
will appear in the glory of His Father, in His resurrected body, among those who can endure His presence and
glory. And all this I expect long before He will waste away and destroy the wicked from off the face of the
earth.
