“Because thou knowest these things ye are redeemed from the fall; therefore ye are brought back into my presence; therefore I show myself unto you. Behold, I am he who was prepared from the foundation of the world to redeem my people.
“Behold, I am Jesus Christ. I am the Father and the Son. in me shall all mankind have life, and that eternally, even they who shall believe on my name; and they shall become my sons and my daughters.

“Behold, this body, which ye now behold, is the body of my spirit; and man have I created after the body of my spirit; and even as I appear unto thee to be in the spirit will I appear unto my people in the flesh.”
