"And the bow shall be in the cloud;
and I will look upon it,
that I
may remember
the everlasting covenant, which I made unto thy father,
Enoch;
that, when men should keep all my commandments, Zion
should again come on the earth, the city of Enoch
which
I have caught up unto myself."
And this is mine
everlasting
covenant, that when thy posterity shall embrace the truth,
and look upward, then shall Zion look downward,
and all the heavens shall shake with gladness,
and the earth shall tremble with joy;
And the general assembly of the church of the firstborn shall come
down out of heaven, and posses the earth, and shall
have
place until the end come. And this is
mine
everlasting covenant, which I made with thy father Enoch.

"And the
heavens shall shake, and also the
earth; and great tribulations
shall
be among the children of men, but my
people will
I
preserve; ...
...and righteousness and
truth will I cause to sweep the earth as with a flood,
to
gather out my own elect from the four quarters
of the earth unto a place which I shall prepare;
A holy city,
that my people may gird up their loins, and be looking
forth
for the time of my coming; for there shall
be my tabernacle, and it shall be called Zion, a New
Jerusalem. "
