Zion of Enoch
in the last days the Spirit of Celestial origin is Revealed from Heaven to Establish it here the Same as formerly the forom & order in the uper Zion But it is Scarcely Discernable Save at this time By the vission of the Holy ghost for it is Still in Embryo
[108]
Moreover it is handled By unskillfull hands who for want of knowledge cannot Do Justice to it at first But time and More Experience and wisdom will Remove all complications
[109]
and Melt away Predudice and when once Developed in its true character it will Surpass all other institutions in producing a oneness and union with the Saints it will Bring down the high and Proud it will Exalt the Meek and teh low it will Make the crooked Straight and the Rough Places Smooth---it will furnish Spiritual food for the Spirits of the Famishing Saints form Heaven
[110]
in the last Days as corporeal food nourishes the Body
its waters will Riegale the Thirsty Spirits of the Saints as pools of water in the Desert quench the Thirst of the weary Traveler or as the Ear is charmed with the Sounds of Music from the choirs of the Saints when their Songs and anthems Sahll Soften into Celestial Melodies and Draw them together as the Magnet needle is Drawn to the Load Stone
it is the Key of our Redemption When it Shall assume its Simplicity
[111]
Blended with all the Atributes that Marked the Ancient Zion of Enoch it will Be hailed Simultaniously By the Saints with Songs of Everlasting Joy
then Zion will B Free
And to God Be all the Glory
To man the Boundless Joy
[112]
this is
A Strange World A Strange People Strangers to Each other And worst of all Strangers to ourselves Because we are Strangers to Father i Heaven For if we knew him we Should
[113]
Know ourselves and See the place that Belongs to us And Keep in our Place
