What the IRON ROD REVEALS
Nemo lets read what the IRON ROD TELLS: "And he said unto me: Behold there are save two churches (2) only; the one is the church of the Lamb of God, and the other is the church of the devil; wherefore, whoso belongeth not to the church of the Lamb of God belongeth to that great church, which is the mother of abominations; and she is the whore of all the earth." 1 Nephi 14:10
ON ANY Road ONLY 2 Directions to go. "IF" headed the wrong way, THEN turn around and go the other WAY - Called REPENTANCE = CHANGE.
2 Churches= 2 Directions. Joseph Smith SAID: “I told the brethren, that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book.” Documentary History of The Church 4:461
and The "Teachings Of The Prophet Joseph Smith" page 194 says: the Book of Mormon is the Keystone of OUR Religion. Also, LDS President Ezra Taft Benson said: "The Book of Mormon - Keystone of Our Religion," Ensign, November 1986, pages 4-7.
TODAY IN 2024 people reject (reject, and ignore) BOTH the Book of Mormon, and (AND) Joseph Smith. They give LIP Service, but no real belief. Too WISE "teachers" Professors, NOW IN 2024 fulfill Mormon 8:38, SO READ Mormon 8:38; and 2 Nephi 28; and 1 Nephi 8; and 11:36-36; and Alma 34-34-41; AND absolutely Alma 34:38;
Nephi 27:25 "Foreasmuch as this people draw near unto me with their mouth, and with their lips honor me, but have removed their hearts far from me, and their fear towards me is taught by the precepts of men." "Most" LDS "SAY" they believe the Book Of Mormon, AND (AND) Joseph Smith. "BUT they reject" what scriptures AND Joseph Smith says; and the Peacemaker he wrote for the Millennium at GOOGLE or ON my site. I didn't correct his spelling. Isaiah 3 AND 4 tells us of the Millennium coming SOON! The WAY God wants it to be.

Excommunication https://www.parowanprophet.com/excommunicate.htm
Today in 2024 the Book Of Mormon has been in print for 194 years. It tells about the Iron Rod and a Great and Spacious Building that TODAY is the 28 story Church Office Building in Salt Lake City Utah.
26. And I also cast my eyes round about, and beheld, on the other side of the river of water, a great and spacious building; and it stood as it were in the air, high above the earth. (28 stories TALL.)
27. And it was filled with people, both old and young, both male and female; and their manner of dress was exceedingly fine; (Suites and ties, and ladies in Fine Dresses) and they were in the attitude of mocking and pointing their fingers towards those who had come at and were partaking of the fruit. 1 Nephi 8:26–27 - (2 Nephi 3 talks about FRUIT 19 times in just one chapter as children or Fruit of the Loins.
And good LDS mock the Polygamous people that have a lot of Fruit of the loins because they in that Building are on the OTHER SIDE of the River AWAY FROM THE IRON ROD Scriptures that lead to eternal life.
The scriptures are Examples of what will HAPPEN IN THE LAST DAYS, the Book tells us.)
Helaman 4 tells WHY the LDS get Destroyed BECAUSE OF PRIDE and Wealth.
11. Now this great loss of the Nephites, and the great slaughter which was among them, (LDS 2024) would not have happened had it not been for their wickedness and their abomination which was among them; yea, and it was among those also who professed to belong to the church of God. (WE in the church of God, are the Latter-Day Saints)
12. And it was because of the pride (Pride) of their (LDS) hearts, because of their exceeding riches, yea, (OUR Church is worth BILLIONS $$, so we are RICH) it was because of their oppression to the poor, (PAY Tithing before your other Bills) withholding their food from the hungry, withholding their clothing from the naked, and smiting their humble brethren (who prophecy) upon the cheek, making a mock of that which was sacred, denying (DENYING) the spirit of prophecy and of revelation, (OF the Parowan Prophet about War SOON.) Helaman 4:11–12
36. And it came to pass that I saw and bear record, that the great and spacious building (Church Office Building HIGH in the AIR= 28 stories tall) was the PRIDE of the world; (World Maps on 4 corners) and it FELL, (WHEN Salt Lake City is NUKED) and the fall (million of LDS also killed) thereof was exceedingly great. (Millions of people die) And the angel of the Lord spake unto me again, saying:
Thus shall be the destruction of all nations, (World War 3) kindreds, tongues, and people, that shall fight against the twelve apostles of the Lamb. (NOT the LDS apostles.) 1 Nephi 11:36

THE KINGDOM OF GOD CONCERNING THE SITUATION OF LDS “MORMON”
CHURCH TODAY,
AND ALL OTHER CHRISTIAN CHURCHES "Christian Churches"
4. Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself.
5. Now therefore, "if" ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
6. And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. Exodus 19:4-6
Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, (Israel=Israel) against the whole (whole) family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. Amos 3:1-2 (Israel=Israel = USA today. NOT Palestine for Centuries.) https://www.parowanprophet.com/ AND is "WHITE" SEE
1. The Word and WILL of the Lord concerning the Camp of Israel in their journeyings to the West:
2. Let all the people of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, AND those who journey with them, be organized into companies, with a covenant and promise to KEEP ALL the commandments and (AND) statutes of the Lord our God." Doctrine and Covenants 136:1-2
And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. Daniel 7:27
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:10
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5:48
The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; Matthew 13:38
2. And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. Luke 9:2
43. And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent. Luke 4:43
"We are asked Is the Church of God, and the Kingdom of God the same organization?
And we are informed that some of the brethren hold that they are separate.
This is the correct view to take. The Kingdom of God is a separate organization from the Church of God.
There may be men acting as officers in the Kingdom of God who will not be members
of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. On this point the Prophet Joseph
gave particular instructions before his death, and gave an example, which he asked the younger elders who were present to always remember. It was to the effect that men might be chosen to officiate as members of the Kingdom of God who had no standing in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The Kingdom of God when established will not be for the protection of the Church of Jesus views or opinions may be. Under its rule, no one will be permitted to overstep the proper bounds or to interfere with the rights of others."
Undoubtedly all this has reference to the time spoken of by St. John in Revelation when he said: "And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying. The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign forever and ever."
However it is proper to note that sometimes these terms "the Church of Christ", "the
Kingdom of God" and "the Kingdom of Heaven" are used interchangeably in the scriptures and hence the confusion in these terms sometimes obtains. Documentary History Church 7:382
If the Church knew all the commandments, one-half they would condemn through prejudice and ignorance."Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith", p.112= (TPJS 112)

A Secret https://www.parowanprophet.com/Polygamy_And_Mormons/secret.htm
28. And when the times of the Gentiles is come in, a light shall break forth among them that sit in darkness, and it shall be the fulness of my gospel;
29. But they receive it not; (NOT) for they perceive not the light, and they turn their hearts from me because of the precepts of men. Doctrine and Covenants 45:28-29
... therefore he that will not receive the greater light, must have taken away from him all the light which he hath; and if the light which is in you become darkness, behold, how great is that darkness! "Therefore," says the Savior, "speak I unto them in parables because they, seeing, see not, and hearing, they hear not, neither do they understand; and in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive." (TPJS p.95)
The following Scriptures are some from which Joseph could base the above statements:
9. And when they shall have received this, which is expedient that they should have first, to try their faith, and if it shall so be that they shall believe these things then shall the greater things be made manifest unto them.
10. And if it so be that they will not (NOT) believe these things, then shall the greater things be withheld (WITHHELD) from them, unto their condemnation." 3 Nephi 26:9-10
Jesus Christ: 34. And wo be unto him that will not hearken unto the words of Jesus, and also to them whom he hath chosen and sent among them; for whoso receiveth not the words of Jesus and the words of "those whom" he hath sent receiveth not him; and therefore he will not receive them at the last day;
35. And it would be better for them if (IF) they had not been born. For do ye suppose that ye can get rid of the justice of an offended God, who bath been trampled under feet of men, that thereby salvation might come?" 3 Nephi 28:34-35
6. For the Lord said unto me: They shall not go forth unto the Gentiles until the day that they shall repent of their iniquity, and become clean before the Lord.
7. And in that day that they shall exercise faith in me, saith the Lord, even as the brother of Jared did, that they may become sanctified in me, then will I manifest unto them the things which the brother of Jared saw, even to the unfolding unto them all (ALL) my revelations, saith Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Father of the heavens and of the earth, and all things that in them are." Ether 4:6-7
(Apparently the church has not repented of their iniquity, and become clean before the Lord.)
And whoso receiveth this record, and shall not (NOT) condemn it because of the imperfections which are in it, the same shall know of greater things than these. Behold, I am Moroni; and were it possible, I would make all things known unto you. Mormon 8:12
38. 0 ye pollutions, ye hypocrites, ye teachers, who sell yourselves for that which will canker, why have ye polluted the holy church of God? (This is not talking about Catholics or Protestants.) Why are ye ashamed to take upon you the name of Christ? Why do ye not think that greater is the value of an endless happiness than that misery which never dies--because of the praise of the world?" Mormon 8:38 (misery which never dies-- like millions of LDS when NUKED)
8. Wherefore, because of the things which are sealed up, the things which are sealed shall not be delivered in the day of the wickedness and abominations of the people.
Wherefore the book shall be kept from them. 2 Nephi 27:8 (Apparently this must still be: "the day of the wickedness and abominations" of the LDS, because these things "which are sealed" are still "kept from them". SEE: https://www.parowanprophet.com/permission_from_heaven.htm
50. And by this (BY THIS) you may know they are under the bondage of sin, because they come not unto me. (If you come unto Christ it will be a personal visitation as in John 14:21-23. Read all of John 14.]
51. For whoso cometh not unto me is under the bondage of sin.
52. And whoso receiveth not my voice is not acquainted with my voice, and is not of me.
53. And by this (BY THIS) you may know the righteous from the wicked, and that the whole world groaneth under sin and darkness even now.
54. And your minds in times past have been darkened because (because) of unbelief, and because you have treated lightly the things you have received--
55. Which vanity and unbelief have brought the whole (WHOLE) church under condemnation.
56. And this condemnation resteth upon the children of Zion, even all. (ALL OF ZION)
57. And they shall remain under this condemnation until they repent and remember the new covenant, even the Book of Mormon and (AND) the former commandments which I have given them, not only to say, but to do (TO DO) according to that which I have written-- (WRITTEN)
58. That they may bring forth fruit meet for their Father's kingdom; otherwise there remaineth a scourge (SCOURGE AND) and judgment to be poured out upon the children of Zion.
59. For shall the children of the kingdom pollute my holy land? Verily. say unto you, Nay. D&C 84:50-59
WHERE THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NOT (NOT), THERE IS NO (NO) SALVATION
Joseph said: Now I will give my testimony. I care not for man. I speak boldly and faithfully and with authority. How is it with the kingdom of God? Where did the kingdom of God begin?
Where there is no kingdom of God there is no salvation. What constitutes the kingdom of God?
Where there is a prophet, a priest, or a righteous man unto whom GOD (God) GIVES His oracles; there is the kingdom of God; and where the oracles of God are not, there the kingdom of God is not.
In these remarks, I have no allusion to the kingdoms of the earth. We will keep the laws of the land; we do not speak against them; we never have, and we can hardly make mention of the state of Missouri, of our persecutions there, but what the cry goes forth that we are guilty of larceny, burglary, arson, treason, murder, &c., &c., which is false. We speak of the kingdom of God on the earth, not (NOT) the kingdoms of men. (TPJS) p271-272
Joseph Smith restored "The Kingdom of God" to the earth 18 March 1844, 3 months
before his death at which time he had 36 men who had qualified to hold the fulness of
Priesthood; this when the membership of the Church was approximately 65,000.)
19. For I perceive that ye are in the paths of righteousness; I perceive that ye are in the path which leads to the kingdom of God; yea, I perceive that ye are making his paths straight. ALMA 7:19
1. And again, my brethren, I would cite your minds forward to the time when the Lord God gave these commandments unto his children; and I would that ye should remember that the Lord God ordained priests, after his holy order, which was after the order of his Son, to teach these things unto the people. ALMA 13:1
Need of Revelation
The plea of many in this day is, that we have no right to receive revelations; but if (IF) we do not get revelations, we do not have the oracles of God; and if they have not the oracles of God, they are not (NOT) the people of God. (TPJS), 271-272 (Read the entire discourse 271-275.)
Some Men "Too Wise to Be Taught"
There are a great many wise men and women too in our midst who are too wise to be taught; therefore they must die in their ignorance, and in the resurrection they will find their mistake. Many seal up the door of heaven by saying, So far God may reveal and I will believe. All men who become heirs of God and joint heirs with Jesus Christ will have to receive the fulness of the ordinances of his kingdom; and those who will not receive all the ordinances will come short of the fullness of that glory, if they do not lose the whole. (TPJS) p.309
All Ordinances Necessary
The question is frequently asked, "Can we not be saved without going through with all those ordinances? I would answer, No, not the FULNESS OF SALVATION. Jesus said, There are many mansions in my Father's house, and I will go and prepare a place for you. House here named should have been translated kingdom; and any person who is exalted to the highest mansion has to abide a celestial law, and the WHOLE LAW TOO.
But there has been a great difficulty in getting anything into the heads of this generation. It has been like splitting hemlock knots with a corn- dodger for a wedge, and a pumpkin for a beetle. Even the Saints are slow to understand.
Unwillingness of Saints to Learn
I have tried for a number of years to get the minds of the Saints prepared to receive the things of God; but we frequently see some of them, after suffering all they have for the work of God, will fly to pieces like glass as soon as anything comes that is contrary to their traditions: they cannot stand the fire at all. How many will be able to abide a celestial law, and go through and receive their exaltation, I am unable to say, as many are called, but few are chosen. (TPJS p.331 (January 20, 1844.) DHC 6:183-185.
22. And whatsoever nation shall uphold such secret combinations, to get power and gain, until they shall spread over the nation, behold, they shall be destroyed; for the Lord will not suffer that the blood of his saints, which shall be shed by them, shall always cry unto him from the ground for vengeance upon them and yet he avenge them not.
23. Wherefore, 0 ye Gentiles, it is wisdom in God that these things should be shown unto you, that thereby ye may repent of your sins, and suffer not that these murderous combinations shall get above you, which are built up to get power and gain--and the work, yea, even the work of destruction come upon you, yea, even the sword of the justice of the Eternal God shall fall upon you, to your overthrow and destruction if ye shall suffer these things to be.
24. Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this secret combination which shall be among you; or wo be unto it, because of the blood of them who have been slain; for they cry from the dust for vengeance upon it, and also upon those who built it up.
25. For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries; and it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people, for it is built up by the devil, who is the father of all lies; even that same liar who beguiled our first parents, yea, even that same liar who hath caused man to commit murder from the beginning; who hath hardened the hearts of men that they have murdered the prophets, and stoned them, and cast them out from the beginning.
26. Wherefore, I, Moroni, am commanded to write these things that evil may be done away, and that the time may come that Satan may have no power upon the hearts of the children of men, but that they may be persuaded to do good continually, that they may come unto the fountain of all righteousness and be saved. Ether 8:22-26
6. ... dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith.
7 For it was by faith that Christ showed himself unto our fathers, after he had risen from the dead; and he showed not himself unto them until after they had faith in him; wherefore, it must needs be that some had faith in him, for he showed himself not unto the world. Ether 12:6-7
(Has Jesus Christ showed himself to you? Do you have FAITH sufficient to part the veil and be saved?)
10 Behold it was by faith that they of old were called after the holy order of God. Ether 12:10
(Have you been called after the HOLY ORDER OF GOD? Do you really believe that God is the same yesterday, today and forever and that his laws and ordinances have been, are and always will be the same nothing varying.)
12. For if there be no faith among the children of men God can do no miracle among them; wherefore, he showed not himself until after their faith.
19. And there were many whose faith was so exceedingly strong, even before Christ came, who could not be kept from within the veil, but truly saw with their eyes the things which they had beheld with an eye of faith. and they were glad.
39. And then shall ye know that I have seen Jesus, and that he hath talked with me face to face, and that he told me in plain humility, even as a man telleth another in mine own language, concerning these things;
41. And now, I would commend you to seek this Jesus of whom the prophets and apostles have written, that the grace of God the Father, and also the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost, which beareth record of them, may be and abide in you forever. Amen,. Ether 12:12, 19, 39, 41.
1. The rise of the Church of Christ in these last days, being one thousand eight hundred and thirty years since the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the flesh, it being regularly organized and established agreeable to the laws of our country, by the will and commandments of God, in the fourth month, and on the sixth day of the month which is called April —
2. Which commandments were given to Joseph Smith, Jun., who was called of God, and ordained an apostle of Jesus Christ, to be the first elder of this church;
3. And to Oliver Cowdery, who was also called of God, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to be the second elder of this church, and ordained under his hand;
4. And this according to the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to whom be all glory, both now and forever. Amen. D&C 20:1-4
1. Verily I say unto you, my friends, I give unto you counsel, and a commandment, concerning all the properties which belong to the order which I commanded to be organized and established, to be a united order, and an everlasting order for the benefit of my church, and for the salvation of men until I come (The Church of Christ began Apostasy Between 1832 and 1834) D&C 104:1 (CHRIST SAYS "UNTIL I COME" !!!!!!!! the SALVATION "OF" MEN!!!!! SO Millions MUST DIE)
1. Verily thus saith the Lord unto you, my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., and also my servant Sidney Rigdon, and also my servant Hyrum Smith, and your counselors who are and shall be appointed hereafter;
2. And also unto you, my servant Edward Partridge, and his counselors;
3. And also unto my faithful servants who are of the high council of my church in Zion, for thus it shall be called, and unto all the elders and people of my Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, scattered abroad in all the world;
4. For thus shall my church be called in the last days, even The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. D&C 115:1-4
1. Verily, thus saith the Lord, I require all their surplus property to be put into the hands of the bishop of my church in Zion,
2. For the building of mine house, and for the laying of the foundation of Zion and for the priesthood, and for the debts of the Presidency of my Church. (See Joel 2 about ZION.)
3. And this shall be the beginning of the tithing of my people.
4. And after that, those who have thus been tithed shall pay one-tenth of all their interest annually; and this shall be a standing law unto them forever, for my holy priesthood, saith the Lord. (FOR the SALVATION "OF" MEN) TODAY the LDS Leaders Paid 35 Million FOR some musty OLD manuscripts of the BOOK Of MORMON. THAT 35 Million $$ Dollars
COULD HAVE BOUGHT Radio-Active Iodine "PROTECTION" FOR the Population OF UTAH.
BUT NOW after Millions are Killed in a Surprise Nuclear BOMB Attack. Thyroid Cancer waits for another million in FUTURE YEARS. BECAUSE LDS Leaders did NOT Prepare the people.
5. Verily I say unto you, it shall come to pass that all those who gather unto the land of Zion shall be tithed of their surplus properties, and shall observe this law, or they shall not be found worthy to abide among you.
6. And I say unto you, if (IF) my people observe not this law, to keep it holy, and by this law sanctify the land of Zion unto me, that my statutes and my judgments may be kept thereon, that it may be most holy, behold, verily I say unto you, it shall not (NOT)be a land of Zion unto you.
7. And this shall be an ensample unto all the stakes of Zion. Even so. Amen. D&C 119: 1-7 (No LDS Church Member Lives This Law. WHY-WHY should I apologize for WHAT GOD SAYS?)
33. Wherefore, if (IF) they should die in their wickedness they must be cast off also, as to the things which are spiritual, which are pertaining to righteousness; wherefore, they must be brought to stand before God, to be judged of their works; and if (IF) their works have been filthiness they must needs be filthy; and if they be filthy it must needs be that they cannot dwell in the kingdom of God; if (IF) so, the kingdom of God must be filthy also. (See James 2:14-17)
34. But behold, I say unto you, the kingdom of God is not (NOT) filthy, and there cannot any unclean thing enter into the kingdom of God; wherefore there must needs be a place of filthiness prepared for that which is filthy.
35. And there is a place prepared, yea, even that awful hell of which I have spoken, and the devil is the preparator of it; wherefore the final state of the souls of men is to dwell in the kingdom of God, or (OR) to be cast out because of that justice of which I have spoken.
36. Wherefore, the wicked are rejected from the righteous, and also from that tree of life, whose fruit is most precious and most desirable above all other fruits; yea, and it is the greatest of all the gifts of God. And thus I spake unto my brethren. Amen." 1 Nephi 15:33-36
23. And he commandeth all men that they must repent, and be baptized in his name, having perfect faith in the Holy One of Israel, or they cannot be saved in the kingdom of God. 2 Nephi 9:23-24
18. But before ye seek for riches, seek ye for the kingdom of God. Jacob 2:14-24
“Salvation requires subordination to the kingdom of god” 4/6/1844 conference DIARIES & JOURNALS Joseph Smith page 463 1989 edition
38. And again I say unto you, ye must repent, and be baptized in my name, and become as a little child, or ye can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God. 3 Nephi 11:38
23. But unto him that keepeth my commandments I will give the mysteries of my kingdom, and the same shall be in him a well of living water, springing up unto everlasting life. D&C 63:23 (Is it a MYSTERY WHEN the Nuclear Attack will come?)
...And what constitutes the real difference between a saved person and one not saved, is the difference in the degree of their faith: one's faith has become perfect enough to Lay hold upon eternal life, and the other's has not. But to be a little more particular, let us ask, Where shall we find a prototype into whose likeness we may be assimilated, in order that we may be made partakers of life and salvation? or in other words, where shall we find a saved being? for if we can find a saved being, we may ascertain, without much difficulty, what all others must be, in order to be saved—they must be like that individual to be saved: we think, that it will not be a matter of dispute, that two beings, who are unlike each other, cannot both be saved; for whatever constitutes the salvation of one, will constitute the salvation of every creature which will be saved: and if we find one saved being in all existence, we may see what all others must be, or else not be saved.
We ask, then, where is the prototype? or where is the saved being?
We conclude, as to the answer of this question, there will be no dispute among those who believe the bible, that it is Christ: all will agree in this, that he is the prototype or standard of salvation; or, in other words, that he is a saved being. And if we should continue our interrogation, and ask how it is that he is saved? the answer would be, because he is a just and holy being; and if he were anything different from what he is he would not be saved; for his salvation depends on his being precisely what he is and nothing else; for if it were possible for him to change, in the least degree, so sure he would fail of salvation and lose all his dominion, power, authority and glory, which constitutes salvation; for salvation consists in the glory, authority, majesty, power and dominion which Jehovah possesses, and in nothing else; and no being can possess it but himself or one like him:
Thus says John, in his first epistle, 3:2 and 3: "Behold, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be; but we know that, when he shall appear we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And any (any) man that hath this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure." The Lectures on Faith 7:9 Page 63 in the 1918 Doctrine and Covenants.

For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. Malachi 4:1
