“O ye who are turned towards the Kingdom and drawn…” 162 |
Arise with every power to assist the Covenant of
God and serve in His vineyard. Be confident that a
confirmation will be granted unto you and a success on
His part is given unto you. Verily, He shall support
you by the angels of His holiness and reinforce you
with the breaths of the Spirit that ye may mount the
Ark of Safety, set forth the evident signs, impart the
spirit of life, declare the essence of His commands
and precepts, guide the sheep who are straying from
the fold in all directions, and give the blessings. Ye
have to use every effort in your power and strive earnestly
and wisely in this new century. By God, verily
the Lord of Hosts is your support, the angels of heaven
your assistance, the Holy Spirit your companion and the
Center of the Covenant your helper. Be not idle, but
active and fear not. Look unto those who have been
in the former ages—how they have resisted all nations
and suffered all persecutions and afflictions, and how
their stars shone, their attacks proved successful, their
teachings established, their regions expanded, their
hearts gladdened, their ideas cleared and their motives
effective. Ye are now in a great station and noble rank
and ye shall find yourselves in evident success and prosperity,
the like of which the eye of existence never saw
in former ages.
