Received Through the Gift and Power of Israel's


God
by

Art Bulla, Joseph Smith,


John Taylor, and Mosiah Hancock

“For thus saith the Lord, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be
redeemed without money. For thus saith the Lord God, My people went down
aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without
cause. Now therefore, what have I here, saith the Lord, that my people is taken
away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the LORD;
and my name continually every day is blasphemed. Therefore my people shall
know my name: therefore [they shall know] in that day that I am he that doth
speak: behold, it is I. How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that
bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good,
that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!” Isaiah 52:3-7
