Telestial Glory

  81  "And again we saw the glory of the telestial, which glory is that of the lesser, even as the glory of the stars differs from that of the glory of the moon in the firmament.

    82. "These are they who received not the gospel of Christ, neither the testimony of Jesus.

    83 "These are they who deny not the Holy Spirit.

    84 "These are they who are thrust down to hell.

    85 "These are they who shall not be redeemed from the devil until the last resurrection, until the Lord even Christ the Lamb, shall have finished his work.

    86 " These are they who receive not oh his fulness in the eternal world, but of the Holy Spirit through the ministration of the terrestrial;

    87 " And the terrestrial through the ministration of the celestial.

    88 " And also the telestial receive it of the administering of angels who are appointed to minister for them, or who are appointed to be ministering spirits for them; for they shall be heirs of salvation.

    89 " And thus we saw, in the heavenly vision, the glory of the telestial, which surpasses all understanding;

    90 " And no man knows it except him to whom God has revealed it.

    91 " And thus we saw the glory of the terrestrial which excels in all things the glory of the telestial, even in glory, and in power, and in might and in dominion.

 98 " And the glory of the telestial is one, even as the glory of the stars is one; for as one star differs from another star in glory, even so differs one from another in glory in the telestial world; 

    99 " For these are they who are of Paul, and of Apollos, and of Cephas, 

    100 " These are they who say they are some of one and some of another -- some of Christ and some of John, and some of Moses, and some of Elias, and some of Esaias, and some of Isaiah, and some of Enoch;

    101 " But received not the gospel, neither the testimony of Jesus, neither the prophets, neither the everlasting covenant. 

    102 " Last of all, these all are they who will not be gathered with the saints, to be caught up unto the church of the Firstborn, and received into the cloud. 

    103 " These are they who are liars, and sorcerers, and adulterers, and whoremongers, and whosoever loves and makes a lie. 

    104 " These are they who suffer the wrath of God on earth. 

    105 " These are they who suffer the vengeance of eternal fire. 

    106 "  These are they who are cast down to hell and suffer the wrath of Almighty God, until the fulness of times, when Christ shall have subdued all enemies under his feet, and shall have perfected his work;

    107 " When he shall deliver up the kingdom, and present it unto the Father, spotless, saying: I have overcome and have trodden the wine-press alone, even the wine-press of the fierceness of the wrath of Almighty God. 

    108 " Then shall he be crowned with the crown of his glory, to sit on the throne of his power to reign forever and ever. 

    109 " But behold, and lo, we saw the glory and the inhabitants of the telestial world, that they were as innumerable as the stars in thefirmament of heaven, or as the sand upon the seashore; 

    110 " And heard the voice of the Lord saying: These all shall bow the knee, and every tongue shall confess to him who sits upon the throne forever and ever; 

    111 " For they shall be judged according to their works, and every man shall receive according to his own works, his own dominion, in the mansions which are prepared;

    112 " And they shall be servants of the Most High; but where God and Christ dwell they cannot come, worlds without end. 

    113 " This is the end of the vision which we saw, which were commanded to write while we were yet in the Spirit.
