Only those who work to glorify God, and for the welfare of the ancient and long-dispersed covenant people of the Lord, will have the power to bring these records to light. He who will bring them to light is blessed according to God's word.

By His power, these records will come out of the earth, shining out of darkness, and will come unto the knowledge of the people.

If this record has faults, they are the faults of men. We do not know of any faults (historically or doctrinally), but God knows all things. Whoever condemns this record is in danger of spiritual destruction.

Whoever says, "Show me a sign that this is true, or you will die," is doing what the Lord forbids. For whoever judges rashly will be judged in the same manner. All will be paid according to their works. So whoever destroys others will be destroyed by the Lord.

The Lord says in the scriptures,

"Do not kill or judge, for judgment and vengeance are mine, and I will repay.”

Those who fight the Lord's work and His covenant people--the house of Israel, saying, "We will destroy the Lord's work, and the Lord will not remember the covenant that He made to the house of Israel," will be in danger of being cut down and burned.

For the Lord's eternal purposes will continue until all His promises are fulfilled.

Study all of Isaiah's prophecies, for I cannot write them all.
