The Peacemaker
OR Doctrines of the Millennium
   This is the way it will be, so if you reject the Prophet's words then you need to order your Headstone, because that's where you are headed.

John D Lee tells: During the winter, Joseph, the Prophet, set a man by the name of Sidney Hay Jacobs, to select from the Old Bible scriptures as pertained to polygamy, or celestial marriage, and to write it in pamphlet form, and to advocate that doctrine. This he did as a feeler among the people, to pave the way for celestial marriage. This, like all other notions, met with opposition, while a few favored it. The excitement among the   people became so great that the subject was laid before the Prophet. No one was more opposed to it than was his brother Hyrum, who denounced it as from beneath. Joseph saw that it would break up the church, should he sanction it, so he denounced the pamphlet through the WASP (sic), a newspaper published at Nauvoo, by E. Robinson as a bundle of nonsense  and trash. He said if he had known its contents he would never have  permitted it to be published, while at the same time other confidential men were advocating it on their own responsibility.        
Joseph  himself said on the stand, that should he reveal the will of God concerning them, that they, pointing to President W Marks, P. P. Pratt, and others, would shed his blood. He urged them to surrender themselves to   God instead of rebelling against the stepping stone of their exaltation. But he dared not proclaim it publicly, so it was taught confidentially to such as were strong enough in the faith to take another step. About the same time the doctrine of "sealing for an eternal state" was introduced, and the Saints were given to understand that their marriage relations with each other were not  valid. That those who solemnized the rites of matrimony had no authority of God to do so. That the true priesthood was taken from the earth with the death of the Apostles and inspired men of God. That they were married to each other only by their own covenants, and that if their marriage relations  had not been productive of blessings and peace, and they felt it oppressive  to remain together, they were at liberty to make their own choice, as much as  if they had not been married. That it was sin for people to live together, and raise or beget children, in alienation from each other. There should exist an affinity between each other, not a lustful one, as that can never cement that love and affection that should exist between a man and his wife.

In the following extract, which is two chapters only, taken from a larger   work, there are some allusions to matter contained in the larger work; which will not appear with the same clearness and force, as if the whole work was before the reader. This cannot be remedied in making an extract.

It is written Malachi 4:5-6, Behold I will send you Elijah the Prophet before  the coming of the Great and Dreadful day of the Lord; and he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their  fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. The author of this work professes to be the teacher here foretold. Some may object that John the Baptist was the character there alluded to. But if it was necessary that Christ should have a forerunner when he came to this world as a servant only; not to be ministered unto; but to minister, and to give his Life for the ransom of the world; how much more requisite is it, that he should be thus honored, when he comes in his glory and majesty, to be king over all the nations of the earth. More-over, please to take notice of the character spoken of. He shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children; and the heart of the children to their fathers; (nothing is here said of the mothers. ) lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. This is matter of great importance in the eyes of God, in its proper time.

No teacher since this prophecy was given, has made the least aproximation towards the accomplishment of this great work, which is to  save a world from a dreadful curse. But did not Christ do any thing to effect this purpose? says an objector. Hear him; " Suppose ye that I am come to give peace to the earth?
I tell you nay; but rather division; the father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and daughter against the mother, etc and a mans enemies shall be they of his own house." Matthew 10:34-36 
 . Luke, 12: 51-56, Ye hypocrites  can discern the face of the sky, and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time.

However the public can form a better judgment of the authors pretentions by reading this extract, than by his mere professions. And when the whole work shall be published, and its glorious object accomplished; then will the whole world know assuredly that he is indeed the teacher foretold by the Prophet Malachi, more than two thousand years ago. Then will the truth of the holy prophets be established; and the judgments of God, and his wisdom will be made manifest.

I now enter upon an important matter which I would gladly have omitted; did not the restitution of the law of God require that we should clearly understand it. If we were doomed of necessity to continue involved in sin, it could not be a reproach; whatever else the consequences might be. But sin is a reproach to any people. A reproach to our understandings. We all admit that sin is an unreasonable thing; and not to our interest. Yet we practice it. This proves  that an astonishing frailty exists in our minds. But our sin is not the cause of this frailty, for it is manifest that this frailty is the cause of our sin. Whence then arises this frailty, or imbecility of mind? I answer, that I have applied myself to seek and search out wisdom; and the reason of things: and to know the cause of madness and foolishness. And I find that more bitter than death  is the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and whose hands are bonds, Solomon.
And thus are we involved in Adam's chains, and all the penalties and pains, of slaveries' growth. But what should we understand by Adam^'s chains?
Answer, Adam was enslaved "by the woman", not by the serpent in the first instance, as we are taught by the word; Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. She gave unto the man and  he did eat. Therefore said Paul, I suffer not a woman to teach or to usurp authority over the man, but to be, in subjection. Her law and government   over a man we are thus taught by the Holy Spirit is an usurpation of power.
But Adam was enslaved by the woman. and so are we. It is the nature of an unnatural and unlawful bondage to degrade the mind, bred and born, and involved therein. Hence we have lost the original dignity, nobleness, and excellency of the masculine mind; and have, as it respects the sex of our minds become effeminate. That such is the character of our mind, is  evident from the fact; that we are constantly deceived by the devil like Eve of old.
It would have been impossible that the christian nations with the Bible in their hands, could have remained to this day servants of servants, and slaves to  sin; continually deceiving and being deceived, even by the devil, like Eve of old; had they not been possessed of the effeminate mind like Eve. We are placed by our laws under the law of the woman. The word of God saith, for the wife is bound by the law, as long as her husband liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will, (take notice not to marry) but to be married to whom she will, only in the Lord.
   1 Corinthians 7: 39
This text shows what is meant by her being under the law of her husband; that is, she is not at liberty to be married to another, while she has a lawful husband yet living. And if a man is bound to his wife in the same manner,  then is he under the law of his wife.

Again: Romans 7: 2  For a woman that hath a husband is bound by the law to her husband, as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.  But in no place in the holy book do we read that a man is bound by the law of his wife, as long as his wife liveth. Such an idea and law would be and is subversive of all righteous government; and it disorganizes the whole system of truth. A man cannot be lawfully placed under the law of his wife, for he is the head. The seat of the mind by which beings are governed is in the head. The government of the wife is therefore placed in the husband by the law of God; for he is the head. I suffer not a woman saith the Lord to teach, or to usurp authority over the man, but to be in subjection. How then can a man be righteously placed under the law of a woman. The word of God here expressly declares that such authority is an usurpation of power. Neither can the woman herself, nor the human family prosper, when the woman takes a station for which she was not created. For Adam was first formed, then Eve, the man is therefore nearer the fountain than the woman; as Christ is before  the man. Therefore as the Church is subject unto Christ  so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Ephesians 5:24 And it is written, let the wife see that she reverence her husband for God is not the author of confusion, but of peace.  A man ought not to be brought under the law of a woman in any wise.

But by our law he is in ten thousand instances completely enslaved to an imperious woman whereby confusion and not peace rages in society at its very root. And the principle that performs this wicked work, is recognized, and admitted by all, and therefore operates upon all, and disorganizes the universal mind of man throughout Christendom; it being begotten and bred in this disorganizing ruin. The evil consequences resulting from the imperfection of our laws upon this subject, are many and destructive to this whole nation: and as Satan gained the ascendency over man, by the submission of the man to the woman; so he must be expelled by exhalting man, to his original authority and dignity, and by forming our laws exactly according to the divine pattern; or reign forever. This only can restore order, good family government, and peace. Multitudes of families are now in confusion, and wretchedly governed. This is a great evil.
