HelamanChapter12

v1.10

And thus we can behold how false, and also the unsteadiness of the hearts of the children of men; yea, we can see that the Lord in his great infinite goodness doth bless and prosper those who put their trust in him.

Yea, and we may see at the very time when he doth prosper his people, yea, in the increase of their fields, their flocks and their herds, and in gold, and in silver, and in all manner of precious things of every kind and art; sparing their lives, and delivering them out of the hands of their enemies; softening the hearts of their enemies that they should not declare wars against them; yea, and in fine, doing all things for the welfare and happiness of his people; yea, then is the time that they do harden their hearts, and do forget the Lord their God, and do trample under their feet the Holy One—yea, and this because of their ease, and their exceedingly great prosperity.

And thus we see that except the Lord doth chasten his people with many afflictions, yea, except he doth visit them with death and with terror, and with famine and with all manner of pestilence, they will not remember him.

O how foolish, and how vain, and how evil, and devilish, and how quick to do iniquity, and how slow to do good, are the children of men; yea, how quick to hearken unto the words of the evil one, and to set their hearts upon the vain things of the world!

Yea, how quick to be lifted up in pride; yea, how quick to boast, and do all manner of that which is iniquity; and how slow are they to remember the Lord their God, and to give ear unto his counsels, yea, how slow to walk in wisdom’s paths!

Behold, they do not desire that the Lord their God, who hath created them, should rule and reign over them; notwithstanding his great goodness and his mercy towards them, they do set at naught his counsels, and they will not that he should be their guide.

O how great is the nothingness of the children of men; yea, even they are less than the dust of the earth.

For behold, the dust of the earth moveth hither and thither, to the dividing asunder, at the command of our great and everlasting God.

Yea, behold at his voice do the hills and the mountains tremble and quake.

And by the power of his voice they are broken up, and become smooth, yea, even like unto a valley.

Yea, by the power of his voice doth the whole earth shake;

Yea, by the power of his voice, do the foundations rock, even to the very center.

Yea, and if he say unto the earth—Move—it is moved.

Yea, if he say unto the earth—Thou shalt go back, that it lengthen out the day for many hours—it is done;

And thus, according to his word the earth goeth back, and it appeareth unto man that the sun standeth still; yea, and behold, this is so; for surely it is the earth that moveth and not the sun.

And behold, also, if he say unto the waters of the great deep—Be thou dried up—it is done.

Behold, if he say unto this mountain—Be thou raised up, and come over and fall upon that city, that it be buried up—behold it is done.

And behold, if a man hide up a treasure in the earth, and the Lord shall say—Let it be accursed, because of the iniquity of him who hath hid it up—behold, it shall be accursed.

And if the Lord shall say—Be thou accursed, that no man shall find thee from this time henceforth and forever—behold, no man getteth it henceforth and forever.

And behold, if the Lord shall say unto a man—Because of thine iniquities, thou shalt be accursed forever—it shall be done.

And if the Lord shall say—Because of thine iniquities thou shalt be cut off from my presence—he will cause that it shall be so.

And wo unto him to whom he shall say this, for it shall be unto him that will do iniquity, and he cannot be saved; therefore, for this cause, that men might be saved, hath repentance been declared.

Therefore, blessed are they who will repent and hearken unto the voice of the Lord their God; for these are they that shall be saved.

And may God grant, in his great fulness, that men might be brought unto repentance and good works, that they might be restored unto grace for grace, according to their works.

And I would that all men might be saved. But we read that in the great and last day there are some who shall be cast out, yea, who shall be cast off from the presence of the Lord;

Yea, who shall be consigned to a state of endless misery, fulfilling the words which say: They that have done good shall have everlasting life; and they that have done evil shall have everlasting damnation. And thus it is. Amen.

We see how false and unsteady human hearts are; we see that the Lord, in his great and infinite goodness, blesses and prospers those who put their trust in him. We see that he prospers his people: increasing their fields, flocks, and herds, their gold, silver, and precious things of every kind and craft; sparing their lives; delivering them from the hands of their enemies; softening the hearts of their enemies so that they will not declare war against them. In short, he does everything for the welfare and happiness of his people. And that is the very time they harden their hearts, forget the Lord their God, and trample the Holy One under their feet, all because of their ease and their great prosperity.

And so we see that unless the Lord disciplines his people with many afflictions, unless he visits them with death, terror, famine, and every kind of pestilence, they will not remember him.

O how foolish people are, how worthless, how evil and devilish, how quick to sin, how slow to do good! How quick to listen to the words of the evil one, and to set their hearts on the empty things of the world! How quick to be lifted up in pride; how quick to boast and to do every kind of wickedness; how slow they are to remember the Lord their God and to listen to his counsel, how slow to walk in wisdom's paths! They do not want the Lord their God, who created them, to rule and reign over them. In spite of his great goodness and his mercy toward them, they treat his counsel as nothing, and they will not have him as their guide.

O how great is the nothingness of the children of men! They are even less than the dust of the earth. For the dust of the earth moves back and forth, even dividing apart, at the command of our great and everlasting God.

At his voice the hills and the mountains tremble and quake. By the power of his voice, they are broken up and become smooth, like a valley. By the power of his voice, the whole earth shakes. By the power of his voice, the foundations rock, even to the very center.

If he says to the earth, "Move," it is moved. If he says to the earth, "Go back, so that the day is lengthened by many hours," it is done. And so, according to his word, the earth goes back, and it appears to people that the sun is standing still. And this is so, for surely it is the earth that moves and not the sun.

If he says to the waters of the great deep, "Dry up," it is done. If he says to this mountain, "Rise up, come over, and fall on that city to bury it," it is done.

If someone hides a treasure in the earth, and the Lord says, "Let it be cursed, because of the wickedness of the one who hid it," it will be cursed. If the Lord says, "Be cursed, so that no one will find you from this time on and forever," then no one will get it from that time on and forever. If the Lord says to someone, "Because of your sins, you will be cursed forever," it will be done. If the Lord says, "Because of your sins, you will be cut off from my presence," he will make it so.

And woe to the one he says this to, for it will come upon anyone who chooses to do evil, and he cannot be saved. Therefore, repentance has been declared, so that people might be saved. Blessed are those who will repent and listen to the voice of the Lord their God, for these are the ones who will be saved.

And may God grant, in his great fullness, that people might be brought to repentance and good works, so that they might be restored to grace for grace, according to their works. And I wish that all people might be saved. But we read that in the great and last day there are some who will be cast out, who will be cast off from the presence of the Lord, who will be consigned to a state of endless misery, fulfilling the words that say: "Those who have done good shall have everlasting life, and those who have done evil shall have everlasting damnation." And so it is. Amen.
