I will appear unto my servants, and speak
unto them with mine own voice, if my people will keep my
commandments, and do not pollute this holy house, Yea the hearts
of thousands and tens of thousands shall greatly rejoice in
consequence of the blessings which shall be poured out, and the
endowment with which my servants have been endowed in this
house; and the fame of this house shall spread to foreign lands,
and this is the beginning of the blessing which shall be poured
out upon the heads of my people. Even so. Amen."[1543]

After the Savior's withdrawal, the two mortal prophets were visited by
glorified beings, each of whom had officiated on earth as a specially
commissioned servant of Jehovah, and now came to confer the authority of
his particular office upon Joseph and Oliver, thus uniting all the
powers and authorities of olden dispensations in the restored Church of
Christ, which characterizes the last and greatest dispensation of
history. This is the record:

"After this vision closed, the heavens were again opened unto
us, and Moses appeared before us, and committed unto us the keys
of the gathering of Israel from the four parts of the earth, and
the leading of the ten tribes from the land of the north. After
this, Elias appeared, and committed the dispensation of the
gospel of Abraham, saying, that in us, and our seed, all
generations after us should be blessed. After this vision had
closed, another great and glorious vision burst upon us, for
Elijah the prophet, who was taken to heaven without tasting
death, stood before us, and said--Behold, the time has fully
come, which was spoken of by the mouth of Malachi, testifying
that he (Elijah) should be sent before the great and dreadful
day of the Lord come, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the
children, and the children to the fathers, lest the whole earth
be smitten with a curse. Therefore the keys of this dispensation
are committed into your hands, and by this ye may know that the
great and dreadful day of the Lord is near, even at the
doors."[1544]

JESUS THE CHRIST IS WITH HIS CHURCH TODAY.

Right gloriously has the Lord brought about a fulfilment of the promises
uttered through the mouths of His holy prophets in by-gone ages--to
restore the gospel with all its former blessings and privileges; to
bestow anew the Holy Priesthood with authority to
