The True Identity of Adam

Revelations from The Book of Prophets

Section 22 September 15, 1968
Behold I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have asked Me in faith concerning God and the creation, and inasmuch as ye are confused by the doctrines of men, and their understanding of the creation, behold I will reveal unto you some of the truths ye have desired.
2 For thou hast desired it in great faith, for the teachings of men doth bother thee, and ye can see where they do err.
3 Behold I say unto you, I am Jehovah, and through My lineage comes the Saviors of worlds, and they are Mine Only Begotten Sons.
4 Nevertheless, I have many Sons, for there are many worlds.
5 Behold I say unto you, I am the Creator, for all worlds which are created are created through the power which I hold, and there is not anything that is created that is not created by that power.
6 Behold I say unto you, Jesus Christ, who walked upon this earth, is in the express image of My Person, for He is My Son--for are not sons like unto their fathers?
7 Because He was faithful in all things prior to His birth, He was to be the Only Begotten of the Father in the flesh.
8 Now some have said that Adam is His Father.
9 Behold I say unto you, how could Adam be the Father of Jesus Christ? For Adam had many sons and daughters of Eve, how then could He be his only begotten?
10 Therefore they are in error, not having the Spirit.
11 Behold this knowledge is necessary for the salvation of man, for how can man worship someone whom he knoweth not?
12 Behold I say unto you concerning Adam, is he not Michael the Archangel, yea, even the father of all spirits?
13 Was this not in fulfillment of the covenant?
14 Yea, he did qualify himself to become as a god, and through his righteousness did he not obtain many wives?
15 And he did dwell upon an earth and did die according to all flesh.
16 And because of his righteousness was exalted, and all that he obtained through righteousness became his forever and ever, worlds without end.
17 Yea, even all his wives and possessions, and his glory are from everlasting to everlasting.
18 And because he was faithful, he received the promise that his seed would be without number, even as the stars of heaven are without number.
19 And the promise was fulfilled, for God's promises will surely be fulfilled, yea every whit, and he became the father of a numerous host of spirits.
20 Yea, and his firstborn, having the right, became the Savior of the world, yea, even Jesus Christ the Redeemer.
21 For that is the right of the first born in the spirit, to be a Redeemer for his brethren, even becoming their Father and God, and coming in the meridian of time to save them from their sins, then becoming the Son of God, even Jehovah.
22 For He then has all rights, powers, and privileges pertaining to this earth that His Father, even Jehovah, had on His earth.
23 And thus through this Priesthood, having neither beginning of days nor end of years, He becomes the Creator of worlds, even for those who are righteous and are true and faithful upon this earth.
24 Therefore, He is both Father and Son.
25 Whoso hath an ear let him hear, and whoso hath an eye let him see, for none receiveth this knowledge but by the Spirit.
26 And I revealed this unto Joseph Smith, for he did have this knowledge, as did all the holy prophets from the beginning, and the people received not the truth and listed to fables rather than truth, and therefore are cast off.
27 Behold I say unto you, that man Adam is your Father and God, and the only One with whom ye have to do.
28 For is he not the Father of your spirit, and also the progenitor of your earthly body?
29 For he was true and faithful, and became a God, and under My direction, even the direction of the Priesthood, even Jehovah, he was placed upon this earth and did bring to this earth all the good things that did exist in his sphere;
30 And planted a garden, even a garden of glorious beauty.
31 And he was commanded to take of the children of men a wife, and he called her name Eve, for she was the mother of all living.
32 And thus he did mingle his seed with the children of this earth, and thus did all his creation, and thus did the generation of men begin.
33 Because he did mingle his seed, he became as of the earth, and subject to death.
34 For did he not die so that his offspring of the spirit world could take unto themselves bodies, so that they could become exalted through faithfulness like unto himself?
35 For this is the law.
36 Adam died that man might be, and men are that they might have joy.
37 This same Eve was with Adam from the beginning and was one of his wives.
38 And she did listen first to that cunning one and did mingle her seed with the seed of this earth first.
39 And she did partake of that which was forbidden and became as mortal.
40 And Adam mingled his seed with hers also, and became mortal also being again subject to death.
41 Behold I say unto you, there is no other way.
42 And by disobedience he lost all recollection of the former existence for a time, but through faithfulness and baptism received this knowledge as at first, and prophesied of his seed unto the last generation.
43 And he shall come to the valley of Adam-Ondi-Ahman to sit and judge his posterity and require everyone's stewardship according to his works.
44 Whoso hath an ear let him hear and mock not, for swift shall be your destruction.

45 Behold, I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the light and life of the world.
46 And I sent Mine Only Begotten and ye received Him not, neither did ye regard His word.
47 For he cometh as a thief in the night to reign as King of kings and Lord of lords, and none shall stay His hand.
48 Even I come quickly, even so, Amen.

Section 23 March, 1972
Behold I say unto you, write not that which you are about to write, for it is of your own effort and not Mine, therefore it is subject to error.
2 I command therefore that thou will take pen in hand and ye shall write what I shall show to thee so that error shall not enter into the matter.
3 Behold My lips do speak, and they speak no error, for error and deceit cometh from the father of all lies, but oft times I speak in parables and with difficult language so that those who have not the Spirit understandeth not.
4 But My words vary not, neither is their deceit in My mouth.
5 Ye have come before Me in humility many times requesting that I reveal unto you the truth of the mysteries of My kingdom, and you have sacrificed much on My behalf and for My sake.
6 But I say unto you, nothing that ye have sacrificed shall be lost.
7 Fear not for your health, for Mine angels shall protect thee and keep thee until thy mission is completed.
8 Fear not thine enemies, for they are but dust and shall be blown with the first wind.
9 Sin no more lest the adversary take thee to himself.
10 Your time has not yet come, but yet for awhile.
11 Your desires have been to know the truth of all things, and thus I shall reveal unto you some more of the works of My hands, and the nature and means whereby I created all things.
12 Ye shall take these things that I cause thee to write and shall print them, and shall give to all those that shall listen, and they shall know the truth and they shall shout for joy.
13 But those who shall reject these sayings, their countenance shall fall, for their works shall be exposed, for their lips speaketh lies.
14 And they say unto My people, "Yea, all is well, all is well in Zion, for God surely speaks to us, and the works we do are His works."
15 Yea, and ye continue on in your own paths and distort the function of My holy Priesthood, and make a mockery of the holy offices.
16 But My house shall shortly be cleansed.
17 Ye say that ye know Me but ye know Me not, for how can ye know Me while ye understand not who I am?
18 For I am Jehovah, and through the atonement of the blood that I shed, all mankind were saved in My kingdom if they repented of their sins and were baptized and received the Holy Ghost and remained faithful, living all My commandments to the end.
19 This is the law and the testament.
20 Behold I say unto you, many were faithful in keeping all the commandments which I gave to them, and were worthy of Eternal Lives, and became like unto God.
21 For they did qualify themselves by their righteousness to clothe the intelligences that were given to them with a spiritual body.
22 There were many great and powerful among them, and the firstborn of these spirits was the Savior of the world.
23 Yea, I did surely promise these faithful, and it was fulfilled, that their children would be as numerous as the sands of the seashore or as the stars of the heavens.
24 And behold I say unto you, that Abraham did marvel at these sayings, yet he believed, and because of his belief I revealed unto him the mysteries of My kingdom, even from the first unto the last.
25 For these numerous children I prepared an earth, and organized an habitation for them, for this is the function of this order of Priesthood, to organize and prepare all things both spiritually and temporally.
26 And all the children of Michael shouted for joy because of the agency that had been given to them to choose the plan of salvation, or the plan of compulsion which is the plan of the adversary.
27 For the adversary came among these spirits, for he had lived on this earth and had become even Master Mahan, and tried continually to thwart the works of God.
28 For he was resurrected as all flesh must be that is born, but not unto glory, for he has no glory, for his works are totally evil.
29 Thus he came among Michael's children tempting them, and teaching his evil ways until one-third of Michael's children heeded him and followed after him, and he drew these after him.
30 And even one of Michael's eldest spirit children, (for was he not called, "The Son of the Morning"?) rebelled because his plan of compulsion was not accepted.
31 Behold here is wisdom, for the Firstborn presented His plan, and He being the Heir became the Savior, even the Christ or Redeemer.
32 What glory and magnitude are the works of the Father, and who shall find them out?
33 Behold, to those who live all My commandments I do reveal My secrets for they are worthy.
34 Behold I am Jehovah, and under the direction of My Father this earth was created, for it was created like unto the other earths that hitherto were previously formed.
35 And behold by the power of My word it was created, for all things that are created, both in the heavens and in the earth, are created by this word, or by the power of the Priesthood after the order of the Son, or after the order of Jehovah.
36 And thus the earth was organized and prepared as a habitation of men that they may be clothed with tabernacles of flesh and become as a God, for such are the Gods.
37 For were not the promises fulfilled in which I promised Michael that if he were faithful he should be resurrected and receive Eternal Lives?
38 And thus it was fulfilled, for he did become a God, and along with his wives which were given to him, was able to accomplish that which was commanded.
39 And thus he was placed in the garden and commanded that he should multiply and replenish the earth.
40 But behold he could not, for his body being of the Celestial could not bring forth physical bodies.
41 And in order for him to accomplish this thing, there was placed in the garden the tree of knowledge, which fruit would cause a change to come over his body that would enable him to clothe these spiritual children in a physical body.
42 And thus he would become the father of all living.
43 Oh what wisdom there is in all that God doeth, and who can find out all His ways?
44 To those that live all My commandments I reveal the mysteries of My kingdom.
45 But in order to accomplish all things he must die, and in order to do this, according to the order of heaven, he must be disobedient.
46 Therefore, I commanded him that he not partake of the fruit of the tree, knowing that he must be disobedient to this commandment in order for him to accomplish the greater commandment.
47 And it was Eve that understood first, and partook of the fruit, and again became subject to death.
48 And Adam heeded her counsel and partook also, and thus their bodies became again subject to a physical separation of body and spirit.
49 And thus he was able to accomplish that which was commanded him to multiply and replenish the earth.
50 But he was cut off from My presence physically because of the fruit and spiritually because of his disobedience.
51 And thus he was cast out of the garden, for the law clearly states that no unclean thing can enter into My presence lest it be consumed by My glory.
52 And thus he became unclean and unfit for the habitation of a heavenly sphere, and would have remained forever in this state had not a plan been devised for the atonement of that sin, even the Savior.
53 And I promised him that in that day that he should partake of that fruit that he should surely die, and it was fulfilled, for his death came before the thousand years of his probation.
54 For in that day I called him Adam, for I changed his name from Michael to that of Adam, which being interpreted means, "The father of the children of all men."
55 And thus he died, and his body separated from his spirit as in the death of any, but here is mysteries unfolded.
56 Behold I say unto you, that his body is not corrupted, for it is Eternal, and it lies in a sacred place until he shall be finished with his work and take up his body again, and the Holy Ghost be taken from the earth.
57 For is He not the Holy Ghost, and careth for and loveth His children, and is their Comforter?
58 For what is the purpose of the Father? To be a Comforter to His children, to teach them and guide them, and to speak unto them all manner of Truth, for is He not the Spirit of Truth?
59 And He shall gather His children together in the valley of Adam-Ondi-Ahman and require of each of them their stewardship.
60 Yea, what say ye when ye stand before Him, can ye then lie?
61 For did He not as the Holy Ghost witness all your works and doings?
62 Then shall ye bend the knee and acknowledge the Savior, for is He not the Firstborn of Michael in the spirit, and the Only Begotten Son of Jehovah in the flesh, for is He not Mine Only Begotten?
63 For did not the Spirit of Adam encompass Mary round about to protect her from My glory so that she would not be consumed by My presence?
64 For is He not Mine Only Begotten in the flesh, full of grace and truth, and did He not do the same works as His Father?
65 For as I, Jehovah, suffered, bled, and died for the sins of the children of My Father, so He suffered, bled, and died for the sins of the children of your Father.
66 All that I suffered, He suffered likewise, and thus fulfilled all things and became the perfect sacrifice, enabling all to be resurrected.
67 For He broke the bands of death for all of Adam's children.
68 And to those who truly repent and are baptized in His name, acknowledging Him as the Savior, and are faithful in all things to the end, the promise is that they shall inherit Eternal Lives, and shall not be angels but Gods, and thus God's purposes are one eternal round.

69 What say ye then of the doctrines of men which say that Adam or Eloheim is the Father of the Savior?
70 For this is the adversary's doctrine to confuse the children of men.
71 Behold, the leaders of My church, and the leaders of My Priesthood have shortly corrupted this doctrine.
72 For I revealed these things unto My servants Joseph Smith and Brigham Young and others of My holy prophets, but I commanded them that they should speak in parables so that seeing they should not see, and hearing they should not hear, lest they should see and hear and understand and be converted.
73 But I command at this time that My promise be fulfilled that in the last days all things shall be made manifest that even a child can therein understand--for this purpose, that the wicked be exposed and the righteous be justified.
74 What say ye now ye leaders of My church? Will ye mock My servants longer? For ye stand naked and exposed.
75 Repent even now, and thou shalt be forgiven.
76 But Adam shall not always strive with his children--
77 Behold, hath He not labored diligently with them and succored them?
78 Behold, did He not speak through the mouth of Peter on the day of Pentecost, and did He not appear in the form of a dove to witness the divinity of the Savior?
79 Was He not the One who opened the heavens to Stephen so that he could view the Father and Jesus on His right hand?
80 And did He not also encompass Mary to shield her from My glory?
81 Behold here is wisdom, for are ye not commanded to do all things in the name of the Father (Eloheim), the Son (Jehovah), and the Holy Ghost (Michael)? Amen.

82 And again I cause ye to write some more, for it has been said that the Savior of this world created it also.
83 Behold I say unto you, this is error, for how can the spirit create?
84 For the Savior was in the spirit world along with the other children of Adam and how therefore could He create?
85 For He received grace unto grace, and did not receive this power at the first, but received it after He fulfilled all things.
86 For they understood not that I being Jehovah was also a Savior of a world, and fulfilled all things, and the Savior being My Son was in the express image of My Person, and had to accomplish all things that I accomplished.
87 For He suffered as I suffered, and bled as I bled, and died as I died, and overcame all things as I overcame all things, and to those who are true and faithful hath the power of the Son to create worlds without end, thus becoming both the Father and the Son.
88 Thus it is written.
Even so, Amen.

Section 30 about 1975
2 Behold as I said before, there were many great ones on this earth where I dwelt who kept the law of Celestial Marriage, but did not follow in the steps of Abraham who lived all of My commandments.
3 They therefore had the right to raise up spiritual children because they were worthy, but they can never be Gods, worlds without end.
4 No man can become an Adam unless he has lived this law.
5 Only a few have attained to this stature in this life, and have been sealed by the Holy Spirit of Promise.

Section 31 March 8, 1977
Behold I say unto you My son, I am God, even the Eternal Father, and by the atonement of Mine Only Begotten, even the Savior, thy sins have been washed clean, even if ye have repented of all thy sins and humbled thyself before Me.
2 For My name is Jehovah, for I am even the Man of Holiness, and it is through this order worlds are organized for the habitation of man.
3 And I command that ye say unto My servant Ogden that he does err in this matter, for he does believe that Adam, who is Michael the mighty Archangel, is the father of the Savior's physical body.
4 Behold I say unto you, that this is not correct, for My servant Adam, who was Michael, has not yet taken up his body that he laid aside, and he shall not do so until the Holy Ghost shall be taken from the earth.
5 For as the Holy Ghost can He not be the Comforter and the Spirit of Truth to bless and encourage His children?
6 Behold, it was because of His protecting shield that encompassed Mary that she was able to withstand My presence.
7 For besides His presence at this event, there was no one to witness what had been done, and for this reason only He could bear witness to John the Baptist at the time of His baptism.
8 And thus as the Testator He bears witness to the children of men that the Savior is indeed My Son.
9 And when He taketh up His body again, He shall gather His righteous children in the valley of Adam-Ondi-Ahman, and they will look upon Him and acknowledge that He is Adam, and they will acknowledge that He is the Father, and they shall bow down and worship Him.
10 And One shall appear with Him who is like unto the Son of Man, who is full of grace and truth, who was Michael's firstborn in the spirit; and the Kingdom shall be given unto Him that He may rule the earth a thousand years in righteousness.
...
22 And I choose whom I shall make My spokesmen, for man chooseth not this gift, but it is given by the spirit of truth, who is the Comforter, even the Holy Ghost.

Section 32 June 7, 1977
9 And ye shall say unto My maidservant Anne concerning her question, that she understandeth not the nature of Heaven and its economy, and she has been led astray by false notions and concepts.
10 Behold, she has been led to believe that Adam is the Father of Jesus Christ in the flesh.
11 Behold I say unto you, that this is error, for nowhere in the scriptures have I taught in this manner.
12 And if this were so, it would make God a liar, for have I not said that I am Jehovah, even the Word, even Alpha and Omega?
13 And it is after this order of Priesthood that worlds are organized and brought into existence.
14 And on each earth that is created or organized in this manner there is placed an Adam and Eve who transgress the law that they may clothe their spiritual children with physical bodies.
15 And when they become mortal and partake of the forbidden fruit, blood again flows in their veins and they again become subject to death.
16 And as Adam and Eve they beget physical children like unto themselves, that they might provide a means whereby they can clothe their spiritual children with a physical body.
17 And behold, ye have record that Adam and Eve bore Cain, Abel, Seth and their wives, and your records show that they bore other children besides these and thus they populated the earth.
18 Therefore did not Adam bear sons and daughters in the flesh and are ye not his descendants?
19 How then can ye say that he was also the Father of Jesus Christ? For have I not said that He is the Only Begotten of the Father in the flesh, full of grace and truth?
20 Therefore ye have made My word a lie, for Adam had many children in the flesh even after he came out from this Celestial home which ye call the Garden of Eden.
21 And if he was also the Father of Jesus Christ in the flesh, how then could he be his only begotten?
22 Behold I say unto you, that ye also imply by this doctrine that in order to become an Adam of a world ye must be a Savior of a previous earth, for ye say in your reasoning that Michael or Adam was such a Savior.
23 Behold I say unto you, this also is error, for this also makes My words lies, for I promised Abraham and others who have been faithful that they shall inherit Eternal Lives, and their Posterity shall be as the sands of the seashore, and have not I stated that they shall become as Gods, able to bring into being spirit children?
24 For their firstborn in the spirit shall be the heir, and when they are fully prepared, an earth will be prepared for these children; and Eloheim, who was the Adam of this earth, shall say unto Jehovah, who was the Savior of this earth: "Go! Take Michael, etc. who was like unto My servant Abraham and create an abode so that the spirit children Michael has brought forth will be able to progress and receive a mortal body and become like unto us. "
25 Behold I say unto you, there is no other way. And Michael who was like unto Abraham shall come down and become Adam.
26 And this doctrine have I taught to My servants through Joseph Smith; and nowhere have I stated that in order to become an Adam one must be a Savior of a previous earth.
27 For if this were the case, My promise to My servant Abraham and others would be null and void, for they were not the Savior of this world, for they suffered not for the sins of My people.
28 Behold I say unto you, My servant Joseph Smith explained this doctrine clearly, but who has understood?
29 And there are those who have imagined vain things concerning this matter, not having the spirit but rather having a spirit of speculation.
30 And there have been many books written on this matter which contain much truth, but which are mingled with the thoughts and ideas of men.
31 For men continually disregard Mine instruc­tions, for have I not said unto them many times that they should seek not after these things through speculation, but must receive this knowledge by revelation from Me? For I lie not.
32 And I speak to all those that seek after Me with a sincere heart and a contrite spirit, for none other gifts are acceptable.
33 Behold I say unto you, there are many who come to Me desiring a confirmation of something they have already conceived in their mind to be true, and their minds are set upon this belief, and they receive a confirmation, but not of Me.
34 And they go their stiffnecked ways, and they go from error to error until they are led carefully down to hell.

Section 67 March 1981
13 What ye have thought concerning the Negro is correct, for when I brought Adam into the garden of Eden, behold he named all of the animals that were created including the "beast of the field", which were the most intelligent of all animals that were created, for they did walk upright as a man doeth and had the power of speech.
14 Adam and his posterity were given dominion over all creatures God had prepared for them including these beasts, or the beasts of the field.
15 But Cain, Adam's son, seeing their intelligence became confederate with them and instead of having dominion over them became equal with them, subjecting himself to them.
16 Behold I say unto you, Adam was My son and I gave him dominion over all living creatures that had been created according to the pattern of all things in the six periods of time called days.
17 For I created all things that they be subject unto him, including the "beasts of the field", made in the form of man yet having the soul of the beast.
18 I instructed Adam that he should not, nor any of his posterity, have sexual intercourse with these beasts, for the resulting offspring would then be like unto the beasts, yea even less than the beast.
19 And such would be a cursed race, which curse would be an eternal curse, irreversible and unalterable, being a curse by He who is eternal, even God.
20 This Cain knew, yet he chose one from among the beasts of the field to lie with her, and thus I sealed her to him as according to law, and forbade him to take unto himself any from the seed of Adam to wife.

Section 68 April 24, 1981
My son, what you have considered concerning the lamb is correct, for when I placed Adam upon the earth he was commanded to give the firstborn of his flocks and the firstfruits of his orchards and fields, and this to signify that the firstborn of the Father, even Mine only Begotten, would come in the meridian of time to be a sacrifice for the sins of the people.

Section 73 December 17, 1981
25 And some have asked concerning the baptism of Adam, which record is contained in the book called the Pearl of Great Price.
26 And behold, it is because of the hardness of their hearts that they ask this, for they seek to find fault with the word that ye have received.
27 And they are like unto Laman and Lemuel and seek to find excuses not to accept My word through thee that they may discredit thee and excuse themselves from living all My command­ments.
28 Yet I will explain this to them that perhaps they will see the pit the adversary has prepared for them and repent.
29 For I say unto you, that it was not the Holy Ghost that lifted him up and baptized him, but it was My Spirit or power that did this thing that he fulfill all righteousness.
30 It was preparatory to his being ordained to the office of the Holy Ghost which fell upon him at that time, which ordination he received from his Father who performed this responsibility upon the earth where he dwelt.

Section 126 December 2, 1985
2 But I did not this because there was no error made. This they do because they heed not the Spirit. For I say unto you, that there is but one type of marriage that is recognized in the Celestial realms, and that is that which is sanctioned by the Holy Spirit of Promise [Adam], and there is none other acceptable unto Me.

Section 142 December 21, 1987
7 Behold I say unto you, that our Father, even Adam or Michael, is the head of this dispensation, and it is to him we worship, and it is to Him we seek to establish our lineage, and to none other.

Section 144 March 14, 1988
4 I say unto you My servants, that I am your Savior, yea even the Advocate with the Father.
5 And the Father is the Creators of this earth, even Eloheim, Jehovah and Michael [Adam].
6 And all who have been to My holy Temple know this, yet their minds have become confounded and they understand this not.
7 For were there not three that were instru­mental in the organizing and in the creation of this earth, yea even these three? And ye know them as the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
8 And when ye call unto them "Father" ye speak unto all of them, for is this not the meaning of the word Father, even the "creator"?
9 For did they not, being in total harmony and unity, organize and create this earth for the habitation of Michael's spirit children?
10 For when ye speak unto one of them, ye speak unto them all. And can ye not then understand this? ‑‑for your minds are yet even dull.

Section 180 May 8, 1993
12 For when My maidservant Eve did sin grievously and partook of the fruit against the commandment they were given, the only way she could obtain her salvation was to totally commit herself to Adam.
13 And this she did, and thus she became the mother of all living, for she totally committed herself unto him.
14 And this is clearly spelled out in the Temple ceremony.
15 It was for this reason she made certain covenants and promises that if she faithfully adhered to, the promises were that she would become a queen even unto him.
16 This she did, and behold, was she not then sealed unto him, that she would receive the eternal blessings and honor of the righteous?
17 And does she not now sit in yonder heavens revered as a queen; and does she not sit at his side in glory and light?

Section 181 February 1994
Behold! Hear ye the words of your Redeemer even Jesus Christ, yea even the voice of Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end;
2 For there is no beginning nor end to the Priesthood which I hold, which has power to create and organize the planets and planetary systems which become the habitations of men.
3 For was I not the first of the spirits to be born unto Michael in the spirit?
4 And when the time came for a Savior to be born on this earth that ye now dwell upon, the Father did come down, even Jehovah, so that the prophesy would be fulfilled that the Savior of this earth would be the Firstborn of the spirit, and the Only Begotten of the Father in the flesh.
5 And in preparation of this happening, and in order for these things to be accomplished, Michael, who temporarily relinquished His standing in the heavens, came to this earth to enable His posterity to receive the same blessings as he himself-- thus He became Adam, the father of all living.
6 And unto him I gave the grand keys, even the knowledge and government of the earth.
7 For I gave unto Him the knowledge of the economic order which when used in righteousness would enable his posterity to prosper in a righteous manner. This economic order he did establish in its perfection.
8 Also unto him I did give the keys of knowledge of the political system which was used to govern all his posterity, and this also did he establish, and he did govern in righteousness all mankind, as well as all the beasts of the field, all cattle, wild animals, and the fowls of the air.
9 For was he not given this dominion and authority as indicated in the ancient scriptures ye have?
10 Yet again, I gave unto him the keys of the School of the Prophets wherein all of his posterity were taught truth and the ways of righteousness.
11 And these three organizations he did develop and organized among his posterity.
12 For he was not ignorant as some would believe, but in every way was the master of all knowledge and wisdom.
13 And unto those of his posterity who strayed from the truth, a church was set up to preach the gospel.
14 And the faithful of his posterity did go forth upon the earth and did preach the gospel of truth to those who had fallen.
15 But except for the few that did repent, they in the main listed to the evil one, and heeded not the words of their righteous brethren;
16 And from that time forth wickedness began to multiply upon the face of the earth in consequence of their rebelliousness, for they loved the evil instead of the good, or the adversary instead of their God.
17 Yea, and in consequence of their making this choice they began to joy in the shedding of blood, and the doing of all manner of wickedness, yea even to the seeking to kill those who had been sent.
18 And thus after a time of this evil doing the earth wearied of this wickedness, and caused a flood to encompass the earth (that the earth be not entirely destroyed) to the destruction of all the wicked upon it, and to its cleansing.
19 Yet again, at this time the earth wearieth because of the gross wickedness that is upon it.
20 For there are those that encourage the union of man and beast, and there are those who have totally corrupted My true ways which I revealed to My servant Joseph Smith.
21 For these are the wickednesses that cause the necessity of the earth to be cleansed: rebelliousness by My Priesthood against the true gospel, and the encouragement by those who have been entrusted with My Holy Priesthood, for My people to union with the beast of the field; these are the most serious of all sins, and are most worthy of death.
22 For this reason I did cause the floods to come at the time of My servant Noah, and at this time I will surely come as I have promised; and will I not then cleanse it? Yet I will cleanse it not by the floods, but by fire, yea even by the brightness of My coming.
23 And behold, all that has been written here is truth, and all that pertains to the future shall be fulfilled, and shall stand as a witness against the wicked and those who desire the glory of this earth instead of My will.
Even so, Amen.

Section 203 End of February, 1997
3 For I say unto you that Adam did come to this earth with a celestial body, and when a body is celestialized it cannot come to naught;
4 For when his body separated from his spirit according to the laws that govern death, his body was placed in a sacred place by his sons;
5 And when Noah entered the ark he took with him the body of Adam;
6 And when the ark landed he again deposited Adam's body in a sacred place that it be not disturbed;
7 And it is yet guarded by the angels until he shall again take up his body, and at that point in time the Holy Ghost shall be taken from the earth-- for is he not now the Holy Ghost?
8 For have I not said this unto you at an earlier time?
9 And when this is done, behold unless ye are gathered ye shall not be protected from the calamities that are sure to follow.
10 For no longer will there be the constraint that is presently exercised by the Holy Ghost;
11 And unless ye are gathered to places of refuge, ye shall not be protected from these calamities.
12 For when the spirit of Adam entereth again into his body, he shall appear not among the wicked, but among the righteous only.
13 For without constraint the wicked shall do the desires of their hearts, yea even until there are but few remaining upon the earth.
14 And it is for this reason I have endeavored to gather a few that perhaps ye can totally repent of all your iniquities, and turn unto your Savior that ye be preserved.

Section 254 February 17, 2012
11Concerning the seed of Cain they are a mixture of the noble Black races and all other races including Adam’s seed.
12 For the pure Black races are not a cursed race but a noble race that need not the Priesthood to achieve their salvation, for by their works shall they be judged.
13 For Cain mixed his seed with this race, and thus took upon him this curse uniting himself with them and partaking of that which was forbidden.
14 For not only was his heritage polluted but also the seed of the Black race was polluted, placing upon the resulting seed burdens that were beyond their capabilities to bear.
15 For did not I your God cause the black race to be black and the white race to be white to clearly identify them so that intermarriage not occur among them?
16 Thus, the seed of Cain was cursed by his seed being forbidden to hold the Melchizedek Priesthood.
17 And, as I promised, this curse shall not be lifted until the seed of righteous Abel come forth among the children of men.
18 For Adam and his posterity to Noah, and from his son Shem, down to my servant Jacob, kept their blood pure and were a white and delightsome people.
19 Yea, and even those I guided to this continent, even my servants mentioned in the records ye have from this continent even in the book named after my servant Mormon, were a white and delightsome people.
20 Yet, my servants Laman and Lemuel became a dark and loathsome people because of their rebelliousness against Me their Savior, by intermarrying among the residue of the previous peoples who were on this continent, who were of the vilest of heathen.
21 Thus, they too became a degenerate and loathsome people. To these and all other heathen races who have mixed their blood with My people, I identify as the Gentile race.
22 And, from this time forth they shall be identified as such.
