CHAPTER 7

(December 1830)

53 And the Lord said: Blessed is he through whose seed Messiah shall come; for he saith—I am ^aMessiah, the ^bKing of Zion, the ^cRock of Heaven, which is broad as ^deternity; whoso cometh in at the gate and ^eclimbeth up by me shall never fall; wherefore, blessed are they of whom I have spoken, for they shall come forth with ^fsongs of everlasting ^gjoy.

53a	TG Jesus Christ, Messiah.
b	Matt. 2: 2. 2 Saying, ^aWhere is he that is born ^bKing of the Jews? for we have seen his ^cstar in the east, and are come to ^dworship him. 2 Ne. 10: 14. 14 For he that raiseth up a ^aking against me shall perish, for I, the Lord, the ^bking of heaven, will be their king, and I will be a ^clight unto them forever, that hear my words. Alma 5: 50. 50 Yea, thus saith the Spirit: Repent, all ye ends of the earth, for the kingdom of heaven is soon at hand; yea, the Son of God cometh in his ^aglory, in his might, majesty, power, and dominion. Yea, my beloved brethren, I say unto you, that the Spirit saith: Behold the glory of the ^bKing of all the earth; and also the King of heaven shall very soon shine forth among all the children of men. D&C 128: 22 (22-23). 22 Brethren, shall we not go on in so great a cause? Go forward and not backward. ^aCourage, brethren; and on, on to the victory! Let your hearts rejoice, and be exceedingly glad. Let the earth break forth into ^bsinging. Let the ^cdead speak forth anthems of eternal praise to the ^dKing Immanuel, who hath ordained, before the world was, that which would enable us to ^eredeem them out of their ^fprison; for the prisoners shall go free.
c	Ps. 71: 3. 3 Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my ^arock and my fortress. Ps. 78: 35. 35 And they remembered that God was their ^arock, and the high God their redeemer. Hel. 5: 12. 12 And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the ^arock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your ^bfoundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty ^cstorm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.

e	2 Ne. 31: 19 (19-20). 19 And now, my beloved brethren, after ye have gotten into this strait and narrow ^apath, I would ask if all is ^bdone? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; for ye have not come thus far save it were by the word of Christ with unshaken ^cfaith in him, ^drelying wholly upon the merits of him who is mighty to ^esave.
