A Prophecy of a Third Decay and the End of the Vineyard
Jacob 5:75 - Jacob 5:77
Duration: 1:31
Jacob 5:75
And it came to pass that when the Lord of the vineyard saw
that his fruit was good, and that his vineyard was no more corrupt,
he called up his servants, and said unto them:
Behold, for this last time have we nourished my vineyard;
and thou beholdest that I have done according to my will;
and I have preserved the natural fruit,
that it is good, even like as it was in the beginning.
And blessed art thou;
for because ye have been diligent in laboring with me in my vineyard,
and have kept my commandments,
and have brought unto me again the natural fruit,
that my vineyard is no more corrupted, and the bad is cast away,
behold ye shall have joy with me because of the fruit of my vineyard.
Jacob 5:76
For behold, for a long time will I lay up of the fruit of my vineyard
unto mine own self against the season, which speedily cometh;
and for the last time have I nourished my vineyard,
and pruned it, and dug about it, and dunged it;
wherefore I will lay up unto mine own self of the fruit, for a long time,
according to that which I have spoken.
Jacob 5:77
And when the time cometh that evil fruit shall again come into my vineyard,
then will I cause the good and the bad to be gathered;
and the good will I preserve unto myself,
and the bad will I cast away into its own place.
And then cometh the season and the end;
and my vineyard will I cause to be burned with fire.
