You will see the constitution of the United States almost destroyed. It will hang like a thread.... A terrible revolution will take place in the land of America.... [T]he land will be left without a Supreme Government,... [Mormonism] will have gathered strength, sending out Elders to gather the honest in heart... to stand by the Constitution of the United States.... In these days... God will set up a Kingdom, never to be thrown down.... [T]he whole of America will be made the Zion of God.

Could you gaze into heaven five minutes, you would know more than you would by reading all that ever was written on the subject.

We say that God is true; that the Constitution of the United States is true; that the Bible is true; and that the Book of Mormon is true, and that Christ is true

That which has a beginning will surely have an end.

There are so many fools in the world for the devil to operate upon, it gives him the advantage oftentimes.

The devil has no power over us only as we permit him. The moment we revolt at anything which comes from God, the devil takes power.
