This view of the
subject brings me to think and to speak a word in reference to the three
Nephites. They wanted to tarry until Jesus came, and that they might He
took them into the heavens and endowed them with the power of translation,
probably in one of Enoch's temples, and brought them back to the earth. Thus
they received power to live until the coming of the Son of Man. I believe He
took them to Enoch's city and gave them their endowments there. I expect
that in the city of Enoch there are temples; and when Enoch and his people come
back, they will come back with their city, their temples, blessings and powers.
The north country will yield up its multitude, with the Apostle John, who is
looking after them. They also will come to Zion and receive their crowns at the
hands of their brethren of Ephraim. There will also be nations here on the
earth that have not received the Gospel, but who will receive it, and thus the
work of God will go on in all its phases, for the living and for the dead. (JOD
25:236-37 | May 17, 1884)
