and we have many revelations and the spirit of prophecy;

according to his will and pleasure?

Behold, my brethren, he that prophesieth,

let him prophesy to the understanding of men;

for the salvation of our souls.

for God also spake them unto prophets of old.

But behold, the Jews were a stiffnecked people;

and they despised the words of plainness, and killed the prophets,

they must needs fall;

for God hath taken away his plainness from them,

and delivered unto them many things which they cannot understand,

because they desired it.

And because they desired it

God hath done it, that they may stumble.
