Joseph Smith,
October 3, 1841
The dispensation of
the fulness of times will bring to light the things that have been revealed in
all former dispensations, also other things that have not been before revealed. He shall send Elijah the prophet &c., and restore all things in Christ.
Joseph Smith, August 13, 1843
Malachi 4th ch
Behold the day cometh that shall burn as an oven and all the proud and they
that do wickedly shall be as stubble and they that cometh shall burn them up
But although in the beginning God created the Earth standing in the water and
out of the water still in the End it shall be burned and few men left—but
before that God shall send unto them Elijah the prophet and he shall reveal
unto them the covenants of the fathers with relation to the children and the
covenants of the children in relation to the Fathers that they may have the
priviledge of entering into the same in order to effect their mutual salvation And I saw another angel ascending from the east having the Seal of the
living God and he cried &c. sayin Hurt not the Earth nor sea nor trees till
we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.— Now I would ask
who know the seal of the living God Behold the ignorance of the World. A
measure of this sealing is to confirm upon their head in common with Elijah the
doctrine of election or the covenant with Abraham —which which when a Father
& mother of a family have entered into their children who have not
transgressed are secured by the seal wherewith the Parents have been sealed. And this is the Oath of God unto our Father Abraham and this doctrine shall
stand forever.
Joseph Smith, August 27, 1843
how shall god come
to the rescue of this generation. he shall send Elijah law revealed to Moses in
Horeb—never was revealed to the C. of Israel and he shall reveal the covenants
to seal the hearts of the fathers to the children and the children to the fathers. —anointing & sealing—called elected and made sure without father
&c. a priesthood which holds the priesthood by right from the Eternal
Gods.—and not by descent from father and mother 2d Priesthood, patriarchal
authority finish that temple and god will fill it with power. 3d Priesthood.
Levitical Priests made without an oath but the Priesthood of Melchisedek is
by oath and covenant.

What shall I talk
about today I know what Br Cahoon wants me to speak about, he wants me to
speak about the Comeing of Elijah in the last days I Can see it in his eye, I
will speak upon that subject then, The Bible says "I will send you Elijah
before the great & dredful day of the Lord Come that he shall turn the
hearts of the fathers to the Children & the hearts of the Children to their
fathers lest I Come & smite the whole earth with a Curse," Now the
word turn here should be translated (bind or seal) But what is the object of
this important mission or how is it to be fulfilled, The keys are to be
deliverd the spirit of Elijah is to Come, The gospel to be esstablished the
Saints of God gatherd Zion built up, & the Saints to Come up as Saviors
on mount Zion but how are they to become Saviors on Mount Zion by building
thair temples erecting their Baptismal fonts & going forth & receiving
all the ordinances, Baptisms, Confirmations, washings anointings ordinations
& sealing powers upon our heads in behalf of all our Progenitors who
are dead & redeem them that they may Come forth in the first resurrection
& be exhalted to thrones of glory with us, & here in is the chain that
binds the hearts of the fathers to the Children, & the Children to the
Fathers which fulfills the mission of Elijah & I would to God that this
temple was now done that we might go into it & go to work & improve our
time & make use of the seals while they are on earth & the Saints
have none to much time to save & redeem their dead, & gather together
their living relatives that they may be saved also, before the earth will be
smitten & the Consumption decreed falls upon the world
