Behold! I say unto you, I have a mission in store for my servant , and my servant , and for them alone, and let my servant Joseph tarry at home, for he is needed; the remainder I will shew unto you hereafter, even so, amen.
And again, verily I say unto you, if my servant will serve me and be a counsellor unto my servant Joseph, let him arise, and come up and stand in the office of his calling and humble himself before me; and if he will offer unto me an acceptable offering and acknowledgments, and remain with my people; behold I the Lord your God will heal him that he shall be healed, and he shall lift up his voice again on the mountains and be a spokesman before my face. Let him come and locate his family in the neighbourhood in which my servant Joseph resides, and in all his journeyings let him lift up his voice as with the sound of a trump and warn the inhabitants of the earth to fllee the wrath to come; let him assist my servant Joseph, and also, let my servant assist my servant Joseph in making a solemn proclamation unto the Kings of the earth, even as I have before said unto you. If my servant will do my will, let him not move his family into the eastern lands, but let him change their habitation even as I have said. Behold it is not my will that he shall seek to find safety and refuge out of the which I have appointed unto you, even the city of . Verily I say unto you, even now, if he will hearken to my voice it shall be well with him. [p. 429]
