7a Behold, verily I say unto you, that these are the words of the Lord your God; wherefore, labor ye, labor ye in my vineyard for the last time:
7b for the last time call upon the inhabitants of the earth, for in my own due time will I come upon the earth in judgment; and my people shall be redeemed and shall reign with me on earth;
7c for the great millennial, which I have spoken by the mouth of my servants, shall come; for Satan shall be bound; and when he is loosed again, he shall only reign for a little season, and then cometh the end of the earth;
7d and he that liveth in righteousness, shall be changed in the twinkling of an eye;
7e and the earth shall pass away so as by fire;
7f and the wicked shall go away into unquenchable fire;
7g and their end no man knoweth, on earth, nor ever shall know, until they come before me in judgment.
8a Hearken ye to these words, behold, I am Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world.
8b Treasure these things up in your hearts, and let the solemnities of eternity rest upon your minds.
8c Be sober. Keep all my commandments. Even so. Amen.
DC 44 Intro: SECTION 44
Revelation given through Joseph Smith, Jr., at Kirtland, Ohio, February 1831. Two urgent problems prompted the prayers which led to this revelation: the need for enough members to enable the Saints to organize for their work and the economic situation in Kirtland. The poor were in great distress.
