my word saith the Lord, and hath entered into his exaltation, and sitteth upon his throne.

"12. Abraham received promise concerning his seed, and the fruit of his loins—from whose loins ye are, namely, my servant Joseph—which were to continue so long as they were in the world; and as touching Abraham and his seed, out of the world they should continue; both in the world and out of the world they shall continue as innumerable as the stars; or, if ye were to count the sand upon the seashore, ye could not number them. This promise is yours, also, because ye are of Abraham, and the promise was made unto Abraham; and by this law are the continuation of the works of my Father, wherein he glorifieth himself. Go ye, therefore, and do the works of Abraham; enter ye into my law, and ye shall be saved. But if ye enter not into my law ye cannot receive the promise of my Father, which he made unto Abraham."

These sections introduce to us the gist of this revelation, and show from whence Smith's inspiration came! Abraham's righteous work consisted in his concubinage, and Smith is clearly commanded to enter into Abraham's works, and by so doing is to enter into his exaltation, as Abraham did into his. If there was nothing else in Mormonism to corroborate the fact, this one revelation is enough to demonstrate that the whole thing is of the devil! Do Mormons allow themselves to think, or do they pride in being humbugged?!
