   But to the text why the people together in this place for the same purpose that Jesus wanted to gather the Jews, to receive the the blessings the glories that God has in store for his saints And I would now ask this assembly and all the Saints if they will now build this & receive the ordinances & Blessings which God has in store for you or will you not build unto the Lord this & let him pass by & bestow these blessings upon another I pause for a reply [p.

2. 1855·Parley P. Pratt·Apostle
   Some of our Sectarian friends tell us that Jesus Christ did not preach a gathering; he only preached the Gospel, and then let the people live right where they had a mind to. But here is a positive revelation from the Son of God, to those that would give heed to his warning voice, to actually remove to the mountains in order to escape the war, the troubles, and pestilence that awaited the Jews and Jerusalem.

3. 1855·Parley P. Pratt·Apostle
   We shall eventually have the history of the Ten Tribes in the north, of the Nephites in America, and of the Jews in Jerusalem, and their written testimony will become one, and their words will become one, and the people of God will be gathered, under testimony, into one body, and the testimony of the Latter-day Saints will become one with that of the Former-day Saints, (and it is now so far as it goes) and the testimonies of those shall sweep the earth as with a flood, and by the voice of men and angels, and eventually by the great sound of a trumpet, and none shall escape.

   16. (3.) The Poetical Books number five, — Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon. They are frequently spoken of as the doctrinal or didactic works, and the Greek designation Hagiographa {liagios — holy, and grapTie — a writing) is still applied.^ These are of widely different ages, and their close association in the Bible is probably due to their common use as guides in devotion amongst the Jewish churches.

6. 1921·Orson F. Whitney·Apostle
   As it Was, So it Shall Be.--Noah's period had a twofold significance. Pointing backward as well as forward, it symbolized both the Beginning and the End. The reminiscent pointing has already been indicated. The prophetic import is made plain by the words of the Savior, when weeping over Jerusalem and predicting the downfall of the Jewish commonwealth, an event also typical of the final destruction of the wicked: "As the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be."
