And the Lord, even the Savior, shall stand in the midst of his people, and shall reign over all flesh. And they who are in the north countries shall come in remembrance before the Lord; and their prophets shall hear his voice, and shall no longer stay themselves; and they shall smite the rocks, and the ice shall flow down at their presence. And an highway shall be cast up in the midst of the great deep. Their enemies shall become a prey unto them, And in the barren deserts there shall come forth pools of living water; and the parched ground shall no longer be a thirsty land. And they shall bring forth their rich treasures unto the children of Ephraim, my servants. And the boundaries of the everlasting hills shall tremble at their presence. And there shall they fall down and be crowned with glory, even in Zion, by the hands of the servants of the Lord, even the children of Ephraim. And they shall be filled with songs of everlasting joy. Behold, this is the blessing of the everlasting God upon the tribes of Israel, and the richer blessing upon the head of Ephraim and his fellows. Awake and arise! Ye sons of Ephraim. For behold, in these last days I, the Lord, have raised up many mighty prophets among the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel and they walk among you, having great faith, yet they have not the priesthood of God and the fullness of the gospel which you have. And lo, they are in your midst and you know them not, and they walk in great faith with signs following. Yea, they have visions and dreams and they prophecy and work mighty miracles, for I am no respecter of persons, saith the Lord; and all these gifts come by faith. Therefore, by faith they receive power and authority to do many mighty works, though they have not the ordinances of salvation. And lo, the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel are scattered throughout the earth and more especially in the northern countries. Now answer me this, ye sons of Ephraim! How shall ye recover the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel, when their true prophets even now walk in greater power and authority than you who hold the priesthood of God? And this because of their great faith in me. For behold, their true prophets have received a lesser portion of light and truth than that which you have received, yet they walk in a greater portion of the light and truth which they have received. Therefore, they are faithful stewards and profitable servants. Therefore, they are given more light and truth and more power and authority to do mighty works of faith. While you, who have received a greater portion of light and truth, walk in a lesser portion of the light and truth which you have received. Therefore, you are unfaithful stewards and unprofitable servants. Therefore, even the light and truth which you have is taken away and you have less power and authority to do mighty works of faith. Hark and rejoice! For I say unto you, that I raised up my servant Rick Joyner unto the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel, and I gave unto him visions and dreams, and I revealed unto him many glorious truths which shed far greater light upon my true doctrine and upon the coming forth of my great and marvelous work in these last days. And behold, I command my servant Rick Joyner to write it in a book, and by the power of the Holy Ghost he wrote it and he named the book The Final Quest, and it came forth by my power. and lo, because the book, The Final Quest, sheds far greater light upon my true doctrine and upon the coming forth of my great and marvelous work in these last days, it is of great and eternal worth unto all the House of Israel and unto all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the Lord. And verily, I say unto all you who are of the blood and lineage of Ephraim, know ye not that you were lost and I recovered you? Yea, you are one of the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel and I recovered you first that the promise might be fulfilled which I gave unto your fathers, Ephraim and Joseph, by the hand of their father Israel, who is Jacob. Therefore, you have had a great and eternal weight of blessings bestowed upon you according to the promise. Furthermore, there rests upon you the great and eternal honor and blessing and privilege and responsibility, if you are faithful, to recover all of the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel — to gather them in from their long dispersion, even all the children of the promise, even all the House of Israel. Wherefore ye sons of Abraham, Issac and Jacob and Joseph and Ephraim, do you think you can walk in less power and authority than your fathers walked in and accomplish this mighty work, yea, this great and marvelous work? Do you think you can walk in less power and authority than Joseph Smith and Brigham Young walked in, who delivered my people with a mighty hand? For behold, I say unto you, ye sons of Ephraim, that you must walk in even greater power and authority than Joseph and Brigham. Yea, I say unto you that you must walk in even greater power and authority than I did when I walked and ministered among the Jews. For behold ye are my last day church in this the dispensation of the fullness of times. And you are called and chosen to represent me, even Jesus Christ, upon the earth, and therefore you must walk in my last day power and authority to bring forth my great and marvelous and mighty work. Even the restoration of all things spoken of by the mouths of Adam and Enoch and Noah and Abraham and Issac and Jacob and Joseph and Moses and Elijah and Isaiah and David and John the Baptist and I, Jesus Christ, and John the Beloved and Nephi and Alma and Moroni and the brother of Jared and Joseph Smith. And you my sons, Oh Ephraim! must needs accomplish a greater work than all those mighty prophets of God who went before you. For you are my last day church, which is called by my name, even The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and you must needs walk in my last day power and authority. For behold, ye are the sons of the noble birthright! Therefore I say unto you, yea, I command you, Oh Ephraim! Awake and arise! Shake yourself loose from the awful chains which bind you! Awake and arise and come forth out of Babylon and wash yourselves clean! And be clothed in the beautiful and holy garments of light and truth and put on the whole armor of righteousness and salvation, and take hold of the sword of my spirit and the word of God and come up, ye sons of Jacob, to the light upon a hill. Yea, come and lift up the ensign to the nations, yea, come and follow the sign and portent in Israel. Yea, come and partake of the waters of eternal life freely. And walk as the mighty sons of Jacob in the full power and authority of the Holy Priesthood of God. Yea, come listen to a prophets voice, even the voice of him whom I have sent, crying in the wilderness. Repent ye! Repent ye! for the kingdom of heaven is at hand! Yea, come listen to my servant Immanuel David Isaiah, for in him is my light and my covenant unto my people, even all the house of Israel, saith the Lord. Wherefore, if ye esteem him as not, yea, if you count my servant to be of no worth and the least among all my servants, then consider this. I, even Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, came unto mine own and mine own received me not. Yea, they counted me to be of no worth and the least among all the children of Israel, and I was taken by mine own and they crucified me upon the cross. Wherefore, ye sons of Jacob, if ye wait for another deliverer, ye must needs wait in vain and ye must needs be destroyed, even as the Jews, for they would not receive me and they waited in vain for another and they were destroyed, saith the Lord. Wherefore, ye have my words through my servant Immanuel David Isaiah, even my Righteous Right Hand. And the Holy Ghost doth witness unto you that it is I who speaketh unto you. I am the Spotless Lamb. I am the Great Jehovah. I am Jesus Christ, who am mighty to save and deliver. There, listen and obey. Amen.
