[Preface] [1 2 3 Jared] [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Mohonri] [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Moroni] [Pagag] [IAO]
1. And it came to pass that I, Mohonri was able to receive the word of God, from time to time, according to the good pleasure of God.
2. And the Lord on high, blessed be he, didst explain unto me many things, and did teach me many principles of truth, and we were wise in implementing such in our lives.
3. And we did behold the total removal of all evil from the midst of our children, and we were together as one before the Lord our God.
4. And it came to pass that we were oft in the mood to praise the Lord our God, and oft excited about praying before his mystery.
5. Yet there were times when we were not so inclined, and there came to be periods when some among us began to neglect these things.
6. Those that were exceedingly zealous in these things came together oft; and others, though always anxious to do so, nevertheless were found engaged in other activities at such times, and were under the necessity of completing their labors without opportunity to worship.
7. Now we began to observe that it was not so much the reluctance of some in our family to come together in worship, but the lack of order that prevailed in such.
8. And I again went unto the Lord my God for understanding; and the Lord spoke unto me in a dream, saying:
9 Mohonri, Mohonri; and I said: here I am.
10. And the Lord was quick to answer, saying: behold, it is now expedient that ye learn greater things, and it is not wise that thy family, even all diligent in worship, should come up to the holy ground which hath been consecrated to this end, and there receive a third mystery of light and truth.
11. Therefore prepare your heart and on the Sabbath ascend ye the hill and I will send mine angel to meet thee there, and to instruct thee further.
12. And I, Mohonri, awoke immediately from slumber with a perfect recollection of all that had been said.
13. And I did in aloneness prepare my heart through prayer, to ascend the hill of the Lord and there receive greater light.
14. And it came to pass that on the Sabbath day, I did ascend the hill after bathing in pure water and donning the robes of the priesthood.
15. And as I ascended, I stopped off to pray and supplicate my Lord, that on mine arrival mine mind might be opened and my spirit prepared to receive.
5 Mohonri 2 [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
1. On the crest of the hill at the base of the pillar wherein we did read, I beheld the appearance of a glowing cloud.
2. And at the sound of a shofar, as the clap of thunder, appeared unto me an heavenly messenger, declaring:
3. Worship God, and give glory unto his name, for I am sent to instruct you after the manner of priesthood.
4. And I fell down as dead before him, and he touched me, and bade me arise saying:
5. Hear ye the word of the Lord.
6. It is now expedient that thy family be further organized and brought into greater harmony with the true pattern of God.
7. Behold the heathen do daily worship their false gods, and all those descended from the line of patriarchs, save a few, also worship daily; all observing the echo of a true pattern now defiled by their ignorance and sin.
8. But thee, and those that are think are called up unto greater things, and it is the will of God that ye learn how to more perfectly worship before the Lord thy God.
9. Thou knowest from thy studies, that there were days in the beginning when men of God worshipped God at holy altars, and at holy times.
10. Hitherto thou hast been neglectful of applying these things in thy lives after the perfect pattern, for you found great joy in spontaneous worship.
11. Know ye that such is good before God, and something never to be put aside.
12. Yet with it must be more ordered prayers and sacrifices.
13. For thy little children, devoid of that zeal that moves thee to praise, must needs learn the law of worship.
14. And ye, you full grown ones, cannot worship God overly much, and will as the little ones, be greatly blessed by observance of set times to worship.
15. Yet even in thy times, if ye have not the spirit, and try not to receive the spirit, ye shall not worship, lest a dead ritual supplant thy living worships.
16. Nevertheless at set times thou art to condition thy mind to prepare itself for worship, that as a pattern ye might learn to worship me more fully, saith God, and in an more ordered way.
17. For in these things, and at these times, ye do foreshadow the coming of the Lord in all ye do, and do mirror all that is done by angels in heavens above.
18. Receive ye then the law of worship:
(contains writing that cannot be revealed unto the world; but is to be had at the holy temple of God.)
5 Mohonri 3 [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
1. Thus were we blessed, and so blessed we he from whom all blessings flow.
2. Giving proper praise and prayer with power, and conducting all our affairs as moved upon by the spirit of God, and in accordance with the pattern of divine worship.
3. And thus we were blessed above all men. Inasmuch as it had been revealed in our lives the covenant made betwixt Adam and eve and he whom they worshipped in the lone and dreary world.
4. And we knew it to be the merciful God of heaven and earth to which we daily, morning, noon, and night did assemble to properly love and serve.
5. And at the dawning of day we did sacrifice unto most high, and at the fall of dusk we did do likewise and at the fullness of the day and in the deep of the night we did also congregate to worship the Lord our God.
6. And we were organized after a more perfect pattern than that which we had hitherto known.
7. And we prospered, and we were blessed.
8. And my brother Jared was exceedingly desirous to excel in all these things, and unto his hand I committed the presidency of this worship.
9. And thus all things were done in order, according to the will of God, the whisperings of the spirit, and the willingness of the hearts of the children of men to worship him and serve him in spirit and in truth. Amen.
5 Mohonri 4 [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
1. And as we did pray over our flocks and our herds, our honey bees, our crops, even over all our labors, we were exceedingly blessed.
2. And the God of heaven, blessed be he, did send unto us angels to instruct and teach us, and to bless us in all that we did before God.
3. And it seemed that to whatsoever task we did labor, therein we were exceedingly blessed.
4. And we were quick to attribute all increase unto the Lord, therefore the Lord was not slow in continuing to rain down upon our head additional benefits.
5. And we prospered, and we multiplied, and each of us began to excel exceedingly in our own particular labors under heaven.
6. Some were well blessed in all their affairs with the animals, others with the things that grow from the earth, and yet others with the production of goods from the materials others produced, and others in the storage of the same.
7. And thus we all began to excel and develop our hidden talents, increasing the glory of our small portion of the Lord's kingdom, which he in his mercy hath extended us-ward for our mutual benefit and growth.
8. And thus we were blessed, and thus prepared we ourselves to receive yet greater things as pertains to priesthood, which we could further apply to the increase of our joy, and further progression of our lifestyles.
9. In the act of worship my brother Jared was blessed to commune with holy ones from heaven, and there receive admonition from God as pertains to preparation for this priesthood blessing.
10. In preparation for our reception or the law of consecration and it's accompanied priesthood office, the Elohim had blessed us with a knowledge and hearts desirous to build a holy altar on which we did consecrate all our productivity, yea even our own lives.
11. In preparation for the second blessing of priesthood ordination, we erected unto God a witness unto him, even a holy pillar, and therein we did inscribe his holy law, and therein we did keep a copy of the sacred writings which God had suffered to fall into our hands.
12. In preparation for the law of worship, we had been instructed in the construction of a small pool, or sea, wherein he did wash and regenerate ourselves at appropriate times, and wherein we did wash ourselves before conducting ourselves after the manner of the correlating priesthood.
13. Now in preparation for the fourth priesthood office, and angelic one blessed mine brother Jared with the commission of erecting again a pillar before God in opposition to that which we previously had erected.
14. And so we brought forth materials from the storehouse of the Lord, and those that excelled in such labors set to their task with great joy and anticipation.
15. And at the completion of their labors, at the appointed time, we newly dedicated such unto the most high God, in remembrance of all the skill and dexterity and wisdom which he did grant unto us, and through which we began to prosper so exceedingly.
16. At the appointed time, as I was in deep supplication and prayer at the base of this newly erected pillar, God's minister did appear unto me.
17. And into mine hand was committed the keys, knowledge, and power which pertains undo these things, that thereafter I might administer the law of stewardship to others which, with similar desires and beliefs, likewise were waiting in anticipation and prayer for the fulfillment of these things.
18. And thus was I instructed by the angel of God, in the law of stewardship, and it was at an appointed hour as whispered before unto me by the spirit.
19. And the rite did brim me over with tears, as I heard the order of God, yet knew the anarchy, chaos and corruption of man.
20. And he, the angel, delivered unto me all these things in this manner'
(contains writing that cannot be revealed unto the worlds but is to be had at the holy temple of God.)
5 Mohonri 5 [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
1. And thus all things were accomplished even as the Lord willed, and we lived in peace and prospered.
2. And it came to pass, through our diligence unto those truths entrusted unto us, that our love was deepened and strengthened.
3. And in the newness and deepness of our love of God one for another, we began in our hearts to desire a deeper covenant and more spiritual relationship with our spouses.
4. And being desirous of revelation and wisdom from God I, Mohonri Moriancumer, took our requests before the Lord.
5. And he was exceedingly pleased with our longings, and commanded us to construct an additional altar, that thereon the heavens could reveal unto us a more perfect form and covenant of marriage.
6. At the completion, consecration, and dedication of the altar of God, an angelic minister burst upon our view, and though the others saw but a great light and felt but an intense quickening, I heard and understood the message of heaven.
7. And unto us was administered the law of chastity, the covenant of marriage, and the promise of marriage unto the messiah.
8. And the angel who appeared, in beauty and power, declaring unto us this fifth mystery of marriage, saying:
(contains writing that cannot be revealed unto the world: but is to be had in the holy temple of God.)
5 Mohonri 6 [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
1. Thus was entrusted unto us the three outer ordinances of immersion, confirmation, and the meal of the messiah.
2. And we were blessed abundantly in the reception of the five mysteries of the messiah, wherein we were quickened and taught, and wherein we received great promises.
3. And mine brother Jared was exceeding zealous and diligent in all these affairs, spending his time perfecting himself therein and encouraging all others to magnify their callings.
4. Wherein I, Mohonri, was more oft found in prayer and private praise, and though mine brethren and sisters were content, I yet longed for a fuller manifestation of the mysteries of godliness.
5. And it came to pass that while I prayed upon these things, the spirit of God entered mightily into me and I heard a voice, even as the voice of the redeemer, saying:
6. Rejoice, and praise God, and give glory unto his name, for in his image art thou fashioned, and into his form thou shalt eventually mature if thou remaineth valiant.
7. Wherefore be diligent in thy prayers and praises and I will yet reveal unto thee many great and important truths pertaining unto the house of God.
8. Therefore be ye wise as a serpent, yet innocent as doves.
9. And be ye careful how you speak concerning these promises, for from this time forward not all will be called up to receive further mysteries, but only the most faithful and valiant.
10. For the preliminary three and the first five of the mysteries are given unto all thy family and they that unite with thee, for they all love me and are righteous in their way according to their ability.
11. But the remaining mysteries are for the more spiritually mature, and must needs be received spiritually as all ordinances must be received, but in an increased degree over and above the normal aspirations of godly men and women.
12. Remain firm in thy hope, and diligent in thy faith, and all that is promised shall, in mine own due time, be thine. I am alpha and omega, the beginning and end. Amen
