In Utah the church continued to grow but was challenged by the US government because of the acknowledgement of polygamy as a Mormon tenet.在犹他州教会继续增长，但被质疑是由美国政府因为承认一夫多妻制的摩门教作为一个宗旨。 A war almost developed, but Mormon leaders decided to compromise after only sporadic fighting.战争几乎发达，但摩门教领导人决定妥协后，只有零星的战斗。 In 1862 and 1882, Congress passed antibigamy laws, and in 1879 the Supreme Court ruled that religious freedom could not be claimed as grounds for the practice of polygamy.在1862年和1882年，美国国会通过antibigamy法律，并于1879年最高法院裁定，宗教自由不能声称为理由的做法，一夫多妻制。 In 1890 the Mormons officially ended the practice of plural marriage.在1890年摩门教正式结束的做法，文字的婚姻。
Not everyone supported Young's election as church leader.不是每个人都支持年轻的当选为教会领袖。 The opposition eventually withdrew to form other Mormon churches, the largest of which (with a membership of 225,000) is the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter - day Saints, headquartered at Independence, Mo. The Reorganized Church holds that leadership rightfully belongs to the direct descendants of Joseph Smith.反对，最终撤回到其他形式的摩门教教堂，其中最大的（与会员225000 ）是重组教会耶稣基督后者-天圣人，总部设在独立，密苏里州的重组教会认为，领导理所当然地属于直接的后裔，斯密约瑟。
Mormons use the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and two other books of revelations to Joseph Smith - Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price - as their standard scriptures. Thus they share most of the beliefs of traditional Christianity but with some modification. Mormons believe that God continues to reveal his word to individuals who seek it for their own benefit, to leaders of local units for their own jurisdiction, and to the President - Prophet for the church as a whole. In 1978, for example, Mormon church authorities announced that they had been instructed by revelation to strike down the church's former policy of excluding black men from the priesthood. 摩门教使用圣经，这本书摩门经，和其他两位书籍的启示斯密约瑟-教义和圣约和珠江三角洲的伟大价格-作为他们的标准经文。因此 ，他们的份额，大部分的信仰基督教的传统，但与一些修改。 摩门教相信上帝继续显示他的字，以个人谁寻求它为其自身的利益，领导人以及所在单位为自己的管辖范围，向总统-先知为教会作为一个整体在 1 978年，举例来说，摩门教教堂当局宣布，他们已经指示由启示打击了教会的前任的政策，不包括黑人男子从神职人员。
The church baptizes by immersion at age eight or older. Vicarious baptism for those who have died and marriage for eternity are two distinctive Mormon practices. Latter - day Saints believe in the eternal progress of humans from a spiritual state to mortality and then to an afterlife where resurrected individuals will receive their reward. The church lays great emphasis on genealogical research so that members may undergo baptismal rites on behalf of their ancestors.教会baptizes由沉浸在8岁或以上。 替代的洗礼，对于谁已经死亡，婚姻永恒的是两个鲜明的摩门教的做法。后者-天圣人相信，在永恒的进展，人类从一个精神状态的死亡率，然后一来世如果复活，个人将获得他们的报酬。 教会的规定，十分重视家谱研究，让大家可以接受洗礼仪式上代表他们的祖先。
Church members pay a tithe to support numerous church activities and building construction and work on welfare farms or other projects to produce items for the poor.教会成员付出什一税，以支持众多的教会活动和建筑施工和工作福利农场或其他项目的生产项目为穷人服务。 Local members operate the full program in each congregation, including individual weekly meetings for men, women, children, and young people, and two meetings - Sunday School and Sacrament - for the entire church body.本地成员经营的全部计划，在每个聚集，包括个别的每周会议的男人，妇女，儿童和青少年的成长，和两次会议-周日学校及圣事-为整个教会机构。 More than 37,000 (1989) young men and women devote two years of their lives as missionaries. The church lays great emphasis on family solidarity, which is encouraged through a weekly family evening of religious instruction and entertainment. Its strong opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment is based on its belief that the effects would prove disruptive to family life.超过3.7万（ 1989年）的年轻男女上下功夫两年他们的生命作为传教士。 教会的规定，十分重视家庭的团结，这是鼓励透过每周的家庭傍晚宗教教学和娱乐。强烈反对平等权利修正案是基于其相信的影响将被证明是破坏家庭生活。

The Mormons, as they are usually known, represent one of the most successful of the new religious movements of the nineteenth century.摩门教，因为他们通常是众所周知的，代表的一个最成功的新宗教运动的十九世纪。 Today they are divided into two main groups, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints, organized from Salt Lake City, Utah, and the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints, based in Independence, Missouri.今天，他们是分为两个主要团体，教会，耶稣基督后期-天圣人，有组织，从犹他州盐湖城，和重组教会耶稣基督后期-天圣人，总部设在独立，密苏里州。 In addition to these major groups a number of smaller "fundamentalist" groups exist.在除了这些主要群体，若干规模较小的“原教旨主义”团体的存在。 Today the Utah church claims over 3 million members, while the Reorganized Church claims about 600,000 adherents.今天在犹他州教会索赔超过300万成员，而重组后的教会索赔约60.0万信徒。
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints was first organized on April 6, 1830, at Fayette, New York, by Joseph Smith.教会耶稣基督后期-天圣人首次举办的关于1 830年4月6日，在费耶特，纽约，由斯密约瑟。 Soon after its formation its members moved to Kirtland, Ohio, and then Jackson County, Missouri, as a result of the intense opposition they encountered.后不久，它的形成及其成员转移到柯特兰，俄亥俄州，然后杰克逊县，密苏里，由于激烈的反对，他们遇到的。 They finally settled at a place they called Nauvoo on the Mississippi River in Illinois.他们终于解决了在一个地方，他们所谓的nauvoo对密西西比河在伊利诺伊州。 Here they prospered and built a thriving city.在这里，他们的繁荣和建立了一个蓬勃发展的城市。
On July 12, 1843, Smith received a revelation allowing for polygamy, which caused four disillusioned converts to found an anti - Mormon newspaper.对1843年7月12日，史密斯收到了一个启示，允许一夫多妻制，造成4幻灭转换发现一反-摩门教报纸。 Smith was denounced on June 7, 1844, in this paper, the Nauvoo Expositor, in its single publication.史密斯随后被谴责，对1844年6月7日，在这个文件中， nauvoo expositor ，在其单一的出版物。 For that the brothers of Smith burned down the newspaper office.为兄弟史密斯烧毁了报社。 As a result Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum were placed in Carthage jail, where on June 27, 1844, they were brutally murdered when a mob stormed the jail.由于斯密约瑟和他的兄弟hyrum被安置在迦太基监狱，其中对1844年6月27日，他们被残酷杀害时，一群暴徒冲进监狱。
Following the assassination of Joseph Smith the majority of Mormons accepted the leadership of Brigham Young.被暗杀之后，斯密约瑟大多数接受摩门教的领导杨百翰。 A minority rallied around Joseph's legal wife and family to form the Reorganized Church.少数上涨约约瑟夫的法律的妻子和家庭，形成重组教会。 Under the leadership of Young the Mormons left Nauvoo in 1847 and trekked westward to Utah.的领导下，年轻的摩门教左nauvoo在1847年和trekked向西犹他州。 Here for more than thirty years Brigham Young ruled the Mormon Church and laid the foundation of its present strength.在这里多三十年杨百翰裁定摩门教教堂和奠定了基础，其目前的实力。
Mormonism has a dual foundation. 摩门教具有双重的基础。 The first is the claim of Joseph Smith to have received golden plates upon which ancient scriptures are alleged to have been written. Smith claimed to have translated these plates and subsequently published them in 1830 as The Book of Mormon. The second foundation is Smith's claim to have had an encounter with the living Jesus and subsequently to receive continuing revelations from God. The substance of these continuing revelations is to be found in the Mormon publication The Doctrine and Covenants, while an account of Joseph Smith's encounter with Jesus and the discovery of The Book of Mormon is to be found in The Pearl of Great Price. 第一项是要求斯密约瑟已收到的黄金板后，古代经文据称已书面史密斯声称有翻译，这些板块和随后发表他们在1830年，作为这本书的摩门教。第二，基金会是史密斯的要求有一遇到与生活耶稣，并在其后接受持续来自上帝的启示。实质这些持续的启示是要发现在摩门教出版物教义和圣约，而一到斯密约瑟的遭遇与耶稣，并发现该本书的摩门教是要发现在明珠大的代价。 The Pearl of Great Price also contains the text of two Egyptian papyri which Joseph Smith claimed to have translated plus his translation of certain portions of the Bible. Together The Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and The Pearl of Great Price form the basis of the Mormon continuing revelation. Since the death of Smith these revelations have been supplemented by what the church claims to be further revelations given to its leaders.明珠大价格也包含文字的两名埃及papyri ，其中斯密约瑟声称有翻译，另加他翻译的某些部分圣经。 在一起预订摩门经，教义和圣约，和珠江三角洲的伟大价格形式的基础上摩门教持续的启示。以来，死亡的史密斯，这些启示已辅以什么教会自称为进一步透露给其领导人。
The Book of Mormon itself is a fairly straightforward adventure yarn written in the style of biblical history. The story concerns two ancient civilizations located on the American continent. 这本书的摩门教本身是一个相当简单的冒险纱在书面的作风，圣经的历史。故事关注的两个文明古国，位于美洲大陆。 The first was founded by refugees from the Tower of Babel.首先是成立了由难民从巴别塔。 These people crossed Europe and emigrated to the eastern coast of central America.这些人越过欧洲和移民的东海岸，中美洲。 The founders of the second civilization emigrated from Jerusalem around 600 BC.创始人的第二个文明的移民，来自耶路撒冷的约600名卑诗省。 This group is said to have crossed the Pacific Ocean in arklike boats.这个小组说，越过太平洋在arklike船只。 After their arrival in America both these groups are said to have founded the great civilizations.抵港后，在美国无论这些团体说，有创立了伟大的文明。 The first civilization was known as that of the Jaredites.第一文明被称为是该jaredites 。 This was totally destroyed as a result of their corruption.这是完全摧毁，由于他们的腐败。 The second group were righteous Jews under the leadership of a man named Nephi.第二组的正义犹太人的领导下，一名男子名为尼。 Initially Nephi's group prospered and built great cities.最初尼集团的蓬勃发展和建立最伟大的城市。 But like their forefathers in Palestine, many apostatized and ceased to worship the true God.但像他们的祖先在巴勒斯坦，许多apostatized并停止崇拜的真神。 As a result their civilization was plagued by civil wars and eventually destroyed itself.由于他们的文明是困扰内战，并最终摧毁自己。
The descendants of the apostates remained on the North American continent as native Indians.后裔的叛教者留在北美大陆的土著印第安人。 In The Book of Mormon the Indians are known as the Lamanites who, as a result of the apostasy, received the curse of a dark skin.在这本书中的摩门教印度人是众所周知的作为lamanites谁，由于该叛教，收到诅咒黑暗的皮肤。
The Book of Mormon claims that Christ visited America after his resurrection and revealed himself to the Nephites, to whom he preached the gospel and for whom he founded a church.这本书的摩门教声称基督访问美国后，他的复活，并透露自己向nephites ，向谁，他所宣扬的福音和为谁他创立了一所教堂。 The Nephites were eventually destroyed by the Lamanites in a great battle near Palmyra, New York, around AD 428.该nephites最终被摧毁，由lamanites在一场漂亮的战斗，附近的巴尔米拉，纽约，周围的广告428 。 Almost 1,400 years later, according to Mormon claims, Joseph Smith had revealed to him the record of these civilizations in the form of "reformed Egyptian hieroglyphics" written upon golden plates.近一千四百年后，根据摩门教索赔，斯密约瑟曾透露，他的纪录，这些文明之间在形式的“改革埃及象形文字”的书面后，黄金板。 With the aid of supernatural spectacles, known as the urim and thummim, he translated the unknown language into English and it became The Book of Mormon.与援助的超自然的眼镜，被称为该urim和thummim ，他翻译了未知的语言成英文，并成为这本书的摩门教。 According to the Articles of Faith of the Mormon Church and to the theology of the Book of Mormon, Mormonism is essentially Christian.根据该条款的信仰摩门教教会和神学这本书的摩门教，摩门教，基本上是基督教。
These present views that are similar to those of many other Christian churches, but this similarity is misleading.目前，这些意见认为，类似这些许多其他基督教，但这种相似性有误导之嫌。 Mormon theology is not based upon its declared Articles of Faith or the teachings of The Book of Mormon.摩门教神学是没有根据其宣布的文章，信仰或教义的书摩门教。 Rather, the essence of Mormon theology comes from the continuing revelations received by Joseph Smith and later Mormon leaders.相反，本质摩门教神学来自持续的启示收到斯密约瑟，后来摩门教领袖。
Mormonism teaches that God the Father has a body and that man's destiny is to evolve to Godhood. 摩门教教导我们，上帝的父亲有一个身体和那人的命运是演变，以godhood 。 This teaching is summed up in the popular Mormon saying, "As man is, God once was: as God is, man may become." This belief includes the notion of preexisting souls who gain a body on earth and become human as part of the probationary experience which determines their future heavenly existence. 这是教学，归纳起来是受欢迎的摩门教说， “作为男子是，上帝曾经是：由于上帝是，男子有可能成为”这个信念，包括概念既存的灵魂谁获得一个机构，在地球上，成为人类的一部分，该试用的经验，决定他们的未来天堂的存在。 Contrary to the teachings of the Bible man's rebellion against God, known in Christian theology as the fall, is considered necessary.相反的教诲，圣经人的反抗上帝，众所周知，在基督教神学作为下降，被认为是必要的。 Mormon theology teaches that if Adam had not eaten the forbidden fruit, he would never had children.摩门教神学教授说，如果亚当没有吃禁果，他会从未有过的儿童。 Therefore, to propagate the race and fulfill his heavenly destiny Adam had to disobey God.因此，宣传种族和履行他的天堂命运亚当不得不服从上帝。 Thus, in a very real sense it is the fall of man which saved man.因此，在一个非常真实的意义上讲，它是属于人，其中储存的男子。 This doctrine is built into an evolutionary view of eternal progression which reflects popular thinking and scientific speculation at the time of Joseph Smith.这一学说是建成一个进化的看法永恒的进展，这反映了受欢迎的思想和科学猜测的时候，斯密约瑟。
In keeping with the idea of a probationary state the doctrine of justification by faith is rejected in Mormon theology in favor of salvation by works as the basis of determining one's future mode of existence. The purpose of Christ's atonement is then said to be the assurance that humans will be raised from the dead.在符合的想法见习国家学说的理由，由信仰是拒绝在摩门教神学有利于拯救工程为基础，确定一个人的未来模式的存在。目的，基督的赎罪，然后说要保证人类将提高从死里复活。 At the resurrection, however, human beings will be assigned a place in one of three heavenly realms according to the life they have lived on earth.在复活，然而， 人类将被分配一个发生在一对三的天堂境界，根据生活，他们住在地球上。
The Mormon Church claims that it is the only true church because its leaders continue to receive revelation from God.摩门教教会声称，它是唯一真正的教会，因为它的领导人继续得到来自上帝的启示。 In addition it claims to possess the powers of the priesthood of Aaron and Melchizedek into which its male members are expected to be initiated.此外，它声称拥有的权力，神职人员的阿伦和melchizedek到其男性成员，预计会发起的。
As a social organization the Mormon Church exhibits many admirable qualities.作为一种社会组织的摩门教教堂的展品很多令人钦佩的素质。 It promotes extensive welfare programs for members, operates a large missionary and educational organization, and promotes family life.它促进了广泛的福利计划，供委员，设有一个大型的传教和教育组织，并促进家庭生活。 Mormons are expected to participate in what is known as "temple work."摩门教预计参加在什么是被称为“庙的工作” 。 This involves proxy baptism for deceased ancestors and "celestial marriage."这涉及到代理的洗礼，为死者的祖先“天婚姻” 。 Mormons believe that in addition to temporal marriages church members may be sealed to their families "for time and eternity" through a process known as celestial marriage.摩门教相信，在除颞婚姻教会成员可能会被封闭，以他们的家人“时间和永恒”经历一个过程称为天体的婚姻。
During the 1960s the Mormon community was troubled by its denial of the priesthood to blacks.在1960年代摩门教社区是困扰其拒绝神职人员黑人。 However, in 1978 the president of the church declared that he had received a new revelation which admitted blacks to the priesthood.然而，在1978年总统教会宣布说，他收到了一个新的启示，其中承认黑人神职人员。 Today one of the most troublesome issues within the Mormon Church is the place of women, who are also excluded from the priesthood.今天的一个最棘手的问题摩门教教会是地方的妇女，谁也排除由神职人员。 In addition to these social problems a number of historical challenges have rocked Mormon intellectual life of the past two decades.在除了这些社会问题的若干历史挑战，冲击摩门教智力的生活在过去20年。 These include serious questions about the translation of The Book of Abraham and The Pearl of Great Price and about Joseph Smith, visions, and historical claims.这些措施包括严重的问题，关于翻译这本书亚伯拉罕和珠江三角洲的伟大的价格和关于斯密约瑟，远见，和历史的索赔。
Much of the criticism has come from ex-Mormons disillusioned by what they see as the refusal of the church hierarchy to face serious questioning.大部分的批评是来自前摩门教幻灭，由他们所看到的拒绝教会的层次面临着严重的质疑。 Among the more important ex-Mormon critics are Fawn Brodie, whose biography of Joseph Smith, No Man Knows My History, seriously undermines official Mormon histories, and Gerald and Sandra Tanner, whose Modern Microfilm Company has produced numerous documents challenging the official version of early Mormon history and the development of Mormon doctrine.其中更重要的当然摩门教批评是讨好布罗迪，其传斯密约瑟，没有人知道我的历史，严重地破坏了官方摩门教的历史，和杰拉德和桑德拉坦纳，其现代缩微胶片公司制作了许多文件中具有挑战性的正式版本早摩门教的历史和发展的摩门教教义。 Within the Mormon Church itself a vigorous debate has been conducted in journals such as Dialog and Sunstone.在摩门教教堂本身就是一种激烈的辩论已进行了在期刊如对话与sunstone 。 The rigor with which younger Mormon scholars have addressed the study of their own history in these journals is clear indication of the power of Mormonism to survive sustained criticism.该严谨与年轻的摩门教学者讨论研究自己的历史，在这些期刊是清楚显示的权力，摩门教生存，持续的批评。
Although young Mormon missionaries may often present Mormonism as a slightly modified American form of Christianity, this approach does little justice to either Mormon theology or the Christian tradition. As a new religious movement Mormonism represents a dynamic synthesis that combines frontier revivalism, intense religious experience, and popular evolutionary philosophies with a respect for Jesus and Christian ethics. 虽然年轻的摩门教传教士往往可能目前的摩门教作为一个略加修改美国的形式，基督教，这种做法并无司法要么摩门教神学或基督教的传统，作为一个新宗教运动摩门教代表一个动态的合成相结合的前沿复兴，激烈的宗教经验，和流行的进化哲学与尊重耶稣和基督教伦理。 This combination of beliefs holds strong attraction for many people uninterested or unschooled in Christian history and theology.这一组合的信仰持强烈的吸引力，很多人不感兴趣或unschooled在基督教历史和神学。

"On the evening of the...twenty-first of September (1823)...I betook myself to prayer and supplication to Almighty God.... "While I was thus in the act of calling upon God, I discovered a light appearing in my room, which continued to increase until the room was lighter than at noonday, when immediately a personage appeared at my bedside, standing in the air, for his feet did not touch the floor. “对今晚的... 20 -第一九月（ 1823 ） … …我betook自己，以祈祷和supplication万能的上帝.... ”虽然我因此，在该法的呼吁上帝，我发现了一个鉴于出现在我的房间，继续增加，直到室打火机比noonday时，立即人士出现在我的床边，常委会在空气中，他的双脚没有触及地上。 "He had on a loose robe of most exquisite whiteness. It was a whiteness beyond anything earthly I had ever seen; nor do I believe that any earthly thing could be made to appear so exceedingly white and brilliant. His hands were naked, and his arms also, a little above the wrists; so, also, were his feet naked, as were his legs, a little above the ankles. His head and neck were also bare. “他曾在一个松散的长袍，最精致的白度，这是一个白以外的任何尘世我曾见过的;我亦不相信任何人间的事可作出现，使白人和极其辉煌，他的双手被赤身露体，和他的武器的同时，略高于手腕;所以，也被他的双脚赤身露体，如同他的双腿，略高于踝关节。他的头部及颈部也暴露了。

"He commenced, and again related the very same things which he had done at his first visit, without the least variation; which having done, he informed me of great judgments which were coming upon the earth, with great desolations by famine, sword, and pestilence; and that these grievous judgments would come on the earth in this generation. “我奠定musing对奇异现场，并在惊叹之大大在什么曾经告诉过我的这不平凡的信使;时，在中，我沉思，我突然发现我的房间，再次开始得到灯光，并在瞬间，因为它被，同样的天上的信使又是我的床边。 “他展开，并再次与非常同样的事情，他做了他的首次访问，如果没有至少变异;哪些做了，他告诉我的伟大的判决来后，地球，具有较大的desolations饥荒，宝剑，和瘟疫;而且这些严重的判决来对地球在我们这一代。 Having related these things, he again ascended as he had done before.有相关的这些事情，他又登上了像他那样，前。 "By this time, so deep were the impressions made on my mind, that sleep had fled from my eyes, and I lay overwhelmed in astonishment at what I had both seen and heard. “这个时候，如此之深，分别展示所作的关于我心目中，睡眠逃离我的眼睛，和我奠定压倒在震惊什么，我都看到和听到。
But what was my surprise when again I beheld the same messenger at my bedside, and heard him rehearse or repeat over again to me the same things as before; and added a caution to me, telling me that Satan would try to tempt me (in consequence of the indigent circumstances of my father's family), to get the plates for the purpose of getting rich.但什么是我感到惊讶，当我再次看到同样的信使在我的床边，并听取了他复述或重复一次又一次的给我同样的事情，作为前;增添了谨慎给我，告诉我，撒旦会尝试诱惑我（在后果是贫穷的情况下，我父亲的家庭） ，得到板的目的致富。 This he forbade me, saying that I must have no other object in view in getting the plates but to glorify God, and must not be influenced by any other motive than that of building His kingdom; otherwise I could not get them.这他不准我，说我必须在没有其他对象的意见，在获得名牌，但荣耀上帝，绝不能受任何其他动机，比建设他的王国;否则，我不能让他们。 "After this third visit, he again ascended into heaven as before, and I was again left to ponder on the strangeness of what I had just experienced; when almost immediately after the heavenly messenger had ascended from me the third time, the cock crowed, and I found that day was approaching, so that our interviews must have occupied the whole of that night. “之后，这第三次访华，他再次跻身天堂之前，我再次离开思考对陌生的是什么，我刚刚经历;时，几乎后，立即天堂信使已跻身从我的第三个时间，鸡crowed ，我发现这一天的临近，使我们的采访，必须有被占领整个晚上。
"I shortly after arose from my bed, and, as usual, went to the necessary labors of the day; but, in attempting to work as at other times, I found my strength so exhausted as to render me entirely unable. My father, who was laboring along with me, discovered something to be wrong with me, and told me to go home. I started with the intention of going to the house; but, in attempting to cross the fence out of the field where we were, my strength entirely failed me, and I fell helpless on the ground, and for a time was quite unconscious of anything. "The first thing that I can recollect was a voice speaking unto me, calling me by name. “我后不久，出现了从我的床，和往常一样，到必要的劳动力一天，但在企图工作在其他时候，我发现我的实力，所以用尽，以使我完全无法我的父亲，谁是劳动随着我，发现了一些错误的我，告诉我回家，我开始与意向去内务;不过，在企图跨越围栏走出这个领域我们，我实力，完全没有我，我下跌无奈在地面上，和今后一个时期是相当无意识的任何事。 “的第一件事，我可以记得是一个声音发言，对我，要求我的名字。 I looked up, and beheld the same messenger standing over my head, surrounded by light as before.我翻查，并看到相同的信使常委会超过我的头，四周轻如前。 He then again related unto me all that he had related to me the previous night, and commanded me to go to my father and tell him of the vision and commandments which I had received.然后，他又与所不欲，我所有，他曾与我前一天晚上，和指挥我去我的父亲告诉他的远见和诫命，我已收到。 "I obeyed; I returned to my father in the field, and rehearsed the whole matter to him.

This stone was thick and rounding in the middle on the upper side, and thinner towards the edges, so that the middle part of it was visible above the ground, but the edge all around was covered with earth.

"Accordingly, as I had been commanded, I went at the end of each year, and at each time I found the same messenger there, and received instruction and intelligence from him at each of our interviews, respecting what the Lord was going to do, and how and in what manner His kingdom was to be conducted in the last days. “我做出了一个试图采取出来，但被禁止由信使，并再次获悉的时间，把他们提出的尚未抵达，也没有将它，直到四年自那时起，但他告诉我，我应该来这个地方，正是在一年从时间，他将有满足我，我应该继续这样做直到时间应该来获取板。 “因此，正如我已指挥，我到在每年年底，并在每一次我发现有相同的信使，并获得指示和情报从他在我们每一个面试，尊重什么耶和华怎样做，以及如何及在何种方式，他是英国即将进行的，在最后的日子。
