DC 85:12f - DC 85:16a
12f Then shall ye know that ye have seen me, that I am, and that I am the true light that is in you, and that you are in me, otherwise ye could not abound.
13a Behold, I will liken these kingdoms unto a man having a field, and he sent forth his servants into the field, to dig in the field;
13b and he said unto the first, Go ye and labor in the field, and in the first hour I will come unto you, and ye shall behold the joy of my countenance:
13c and he said unto the second, Go ye also into the field, and in the second hour I will visit you with the joy of my countenance;
13d and also unto the third, saying, I will visit you; and unto the fourth, and so on unto the twelfth.
14a And the lord of the field went unto the first in the first hour, and tarried with him all that hour, and he was made glad with the light of the countenance of his lord;
14b and then he withdrew from the first that he might visit the second also, and the third, and the fourth, and so on unto the twelfth;
14c and thus they all received the light of the countenance of their lord; every man in his hour, and in his time, and in his season; beginning at the first, and so on unto the last, and from the last unto the first, and from the first unto the last;
14d every man in his own order, until his hour was finished, even according as his lord had commanded him, that his lord might be glorified in him, and he in him, that they all might be glorified.
15 Therefore, unto this parable will I liken all these kingdoms, and the inhabitants thereof; every kingdom in its hour, and in its time, and in its season; even according to the decree which God hath made.
16a And again, verily I say unto you, my friends, I leave these sayings with you, to ponder in your hearts with this commandment which I give unto you, that ye shall call upon me while I am near;
