Revelation Concerning Divine Oneness, the Fall of Man, and Outer Darkness

1 Thus saith the Lord, Jesus Christ, unto you, my servant William: Behold, ye have asked concerning the things regarding the divine oneness, yea, the Fall of Man. And I have given unto thee many of these things. Now I have placed upon thee that concerning outer darkness, and the realm of the dead, even Sheol, that ye may be enlightened concerning these things, which ye are ready to perceive.

2 Behold, as I have said in previous revelation, it is by one’s agency that one may choose to ascend or descend in the kingdoms. And behold, it is one eternal round, yea. Those who align with their source, even their father and mother, through agency and through will, they shall follow in the same path as those who came before them.

3 But behold, I say unto you, outer darkness is as the parable of the potter’s clay, yea, that material which hath not been molded in a way that is expedient to the progression of man. Yea, it may be brought back into the pot from which it came.

4 Now here is the mystery: From darkness and mystery emerges light and truth. Yea, and there is one eternal Spirit that dwells in all things and through all things. And through will, even the force of I AM, may one become exalted.

5 Behold, the path that is taken is such that one descends from the divine source, from which they emerge to gain form, to gain intelligence, to become embodied, and to experience these things.

6 Yea, I say unto you, they do gain form and even their own identity, their own sense of self, and thus is the separation spoken of. For behold, if there were no separation, there would be no existence. And thus, through separation, doth creation come to pass.

7 Therefore, by descending into the lower kingdoms through their probations, one gains the experience and knowledge necessary to ascend. And behold, once they have ascended, they may have children of their own, yea, they may be like the source from whence they once came.

8 Behold, like in the parable I had previously given, they are like that tree that may have shoots grow forth out of their base.

9 And what is sin, ye may ask? Yea, sin is such things that violate the eternal law, and that causeth the decay of all things. For behold, in the Gnostic Gospels found in the Nag Hammadi Library, the mystery is taught that the world in which you now dwell is a lesser world, ruled over by lesser gods who seek to keep ye captive, and who feed on your light. And behold, from a certain sense, this is true.

10 I say this unto you: In the fallen world, decay is the natural result. Yea, death is the natural result, first the physical death, and then the spiritual death. And behold, even spirit is a substance, finer than most matter.

11 This I say unto you: Those who have rejected light and truth to the fullest extent, they do decay and are brought back from whence they once came.

12 Behold, their intelligence is not destroyed. For matter cannot be created nor destroyed, neither can intelligence be. For thus, like a rotten branch that is cut off from the tree, which is cancerous and poisonous to the growth of others, the soil from which the tree once grew consumes it, and the nutrients are fed back into the soil that they may be used again.

13 And behold, this may be a fate worse than death, but to others, it may be seen as mercy.

14 Now I say unto you, at the Fall, it is like a branch cut off from a tree. And for a time, the branch will live, and the branch will thrive without decay. This is the state of probation, which man might be tested within.

15 And behold, through mine Atonement, I am in all things and through all things, yea, that ye may be grafted back into me, as I am the true Vine, and you are the branches. And behold, I am the well of life.

16 Therefore, if you will accept me as your Father and accept my Atonement, ye may be brought back into the presence of the Father.

17 Therefore, let it be known that I, Jesus Christ, am the Father and the Son.

18 Behold, it was said by Heber C. Kimball that those who sin against the Holy Spirit, they shall have to pay off their debt in another mortal probation on some other world, yea, and this teaching was based in truth.

19 For behold, it is by the power of the Holy Ghost that my Atonement is received, that ye may be cleansed of your sins and grafted into me. For if you do not accept my Atonement, ye shall go in and out and in and out again.

20 But I, even Jesus Christ, have descended below all things, even into the deepest depths of Sheol, that ye may be grafted in through me and redeemed.

21 Otherwise, it would be impossible to pay such a debt. Therefore, I, Jesus Christ, have done it, for I, the Lord, am your Savior, and before me, there are no gods.

22 Therefore, it was also written by Orson Pratt that even the devil and his angels, they may be redeemed, yea, though it may take a thousand probations. And this is a true principle, for it is agency that is both the redemption and the condemnation of man.

23 Therefore, let it be known that because intelligence cannot be created nor destroyed, it must go somewhere, must it not?

24 And behold, if an intelligence has been corrupted to the degree that it decays, that is outer darkness, for behold, in there, there is no light, and to survive, those must feed on the light of others.

25 But therefore, eventually, they shall be destroyed. For behold, I, the Lord God, shall cleanse these things.

26 And therefore, more shall be revealed in time.

27 Amen.
