Ancient of Days in the Mexican Calendar
Our heavenly Father delights in his good children, he delights
continually to bless them, yea, "He maketh his sun to rise on the
evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the
unjust." All are equally his children. We are all the children of
our common Father, who has placed us on the earth to prove
ourselves, to govern, control, educate and sanctify ourselves,
body and spirit, unto him, according to his will and pleasure.
When all that class of spirits designed to take bodies upon this
earth have done so, then will cometh winding-up scene of this
particular department of the works of God on this earth. It is
his will that we should prepare ourselves to build up his
kingdom, gather the house of Israel, redeem and build up Zion and
Jerusalem, revolutionize the world, and bring back that which has
been lost through the fall. Page 2 Volume 10 September 28, 1862
