hid from before the foundation of the world; things that pertain
to the dispensation of the fulness of times, and I will shew
unto my servant , all things pertaining to this house, and
the priesthood thereof, and the place whereon it shall be built;
and you shall build it on the place where you have contemplated
building it; for that is the spot which I have chosen for you to
build it. If you labour with all your mights, I will consecrate
that spot, that it shall be made holy; and if my people will
hearken unto my voice, and unto the voice of my servants whom
I have appointed, to lead my people, behold verily I say unto
you, they shall not be moved out of their place. But if they
will not hearken to my voice nor unto the voice of these men
whom I have appointed, they shall not be blest, because they
pollute mine holy grounds, and mine holy ordinances, and charters,
and my holy words, which I give unto them.
14 And it shall come to pass, that if you build a house
unto my name, and do not the things that I say, I will not
perform the oath which I make unto you, neither fulfil
the promises which ye expect at my hands, saith the Lord
for instead of blessings, ye, by your own works, bring cursings,
wrath indignation, and judgments upon your own heads by your
follies, and by all your abominations which you practise before
me saith the Lord.
15 Verily, verily I say unto you that when I give a commandment
unto any of the sons of men, to do a work unto my name, and those
sons of men go with all their mights, and with all they have,
to perform that work, and cease not their diligence, and their
enemies come upon them, and hinder them from performing
that work: behold it behooveth me to require that work no
more at the hands of those sons of men, but to accept of their
offerings; and the iniquity and transgression of my holy laws
and commandments, I will visit upon the heads of those
who hindered my work, unto the third and fourth generation,
so long as they repent not and hate me saith the Lord God.
Therefore, for this cause have I accepted the offerings of those
whom I commanded to build up a city and a house unto
hid from before the foundation of the world; things that pertain
to the dispensation of the fulness of times, and I will shew
unto my servant , all things pertaining to this house, and
the priesthood thereof, and the place whereon it shall be built;
and you shall build it on the place where you have contemplated
building it; for that is the spot which I have chosen for you to
build it. If you labour with all your mights, I will consecrate
