Concerning the Fullness of the Gospel, the Holy Order, and the Mystery of the Second Comforter

1 Thus saith the Lord unto my servant, William, concerning the fullness of the gospel and the holy order,

2 Behold, the Book of Mormon, even my new and everlasting covenant, which is contained within its pages.

3 This book is meant to teach about the holy order, and it is written by those who have been initiated into this order, yea, even the order of the Son of the Only Begotten, of the Father, which is full of truth and grace, even the Spirit of truth.

4 For behold, those men wrote this doctrine and this book, so that those who are of this order would be able to awaken and remember for which purpose they came into this world.

5 And behold, the fullness of mine everlasting gospel doth show how to receive the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost and receive mine second comforter.

6 For this is the true endowment of power received from on high, and both the Book of Mormon and the temple are a guide to receive these things, to enter into the order of my Son, even the Son of the Only Begotten, of the Father.

7 And those who receive the fullness of the Holy Ghost and the fullness of the priesthood, they are my sons and my daughters, and they take upon themselves the name of Jesus Christ.

8 For behold, it is true that through Jesus Christ, as the temple shows, you are able to enter into the presence of the Lord God, even I, the great Jehovah.

9 And this veil which you wear upon yourselves has my name, even Jesus Christ, written upon it.

10 And it is through taking upon yourself my name that you may enter into my presence, that you may enter in through the angel of my presence, that you may behold me to see my face and know that I am.

11 For it is written that after I ascend to the Father, I will send you another comforter. Amen.

12 And many understood not what these words meant, but those who are of my sacred holy order, after the order of my Son, they do know.

13 And they shall receive my fullness, even as I receive the fullness of the Father.

14 And they are my sons and my daughters. Amen.

15 Behold, thus saith the Lord unto you, my servant, concerning the mystery of the second comforter.

16 It is one that not many have perceived, but behold, you have understood, and you have remembered it.

17 For thus saith the Lord, I said unto my disciples, Behold, once I ascend to my Father, ye shall see me no more, and I will send you another comforter, yea, even the Spirit of Truth.

18 And he shall not speak of himself, but shall speak those things which I have told him to say.

19 And behold, as it was said, it was done, and many understood not.

20 For I warned that many shall say, He is here, he is there, but that when I return, every eye shall see.

21 And behold, my beloved apostle, even John, did thought he saw me on the island of Patmos.

22 But behold, it was my second comforter who I had sent to bear witness of me, and speak on my behalf, holding my authority.

23 And those who receive my second comforter receive me.

24 For I am one with the Father, and my Son is one with me.

25 And we are one God, yea, the eternal God of heaven and earth.

26 For behold, those who have not been sanctified by the Holy Ghost cannot dwell in the kingdom of God.

27 And my presence, for he is the angel of my presence.

28 And through him, you may see my face and know that I am.

29 For until I return in spirit and the fullness of my glory, my Holy Spirit shall bear witness of me and go on my behalf to judge and reprove the world of sin and of righteousness.

30 Of righteousness, because I have ascended to my Father, and ye see me no more.

31 And of sin, because the princes of this world are to be judged.

32 And because my winepress is to be trodden.

33 And because the day of vengeance has come.

34 It is written, I have trodden the winepress alone, and of them there was none with me.

35 For I will tread them in my anger, and these words shall come to pass.

36 For the great and dreadful day of the Lord hath come.

37 And behold, it is great, because those who are righteous shall be blessed.

38 And it is dreadful, because those who are wicked, even the princes of this world, are to be judged.

39 For the day of vengeance is in my heart, and the year of my redeemed has come.

40 And through my servant and my servants, these things shall come to pass.
