Why I am That One Who Should Come

The way that I am going to say the words that I speak is very important, in that many are the misconceptions about a prophet, what he looks like, talks like, don't the people in general recognize the Lord's anointed by the way he ap¬pears, the way he carries himself? Joseph Smith's grandfather said of him, "he writes like a prophet." Paul, we understand, was of short stat¬ure, about five foot two, and bandy or bowlegged, and had a hawkish Roman or Jewish nose, but eyes which pierced through to eternity. I have seen as Paul, for I too have "come to visions and revelations of the Lord" for I could not tell if I was in my body or out when I conversed with (words fail) him face to face quickened by such power the tongue cleaves to the roof of the mouth and stops for the inadequacy. Joseph was and is a true prophet, for a short time after my first vision, I was given a copy of the book which he translated. I bear record, and get over it if you can, that I have seen and heard for myself, and have been sent as Joseph prophesied that I would come, having the keys of the Priesthood by lineage and by right, being accounted a direct descendant by blood of the kingdom, being a direct descendent of David, given from before the foundation of the world as a king and a priest as a witness, for I have seen and I have heard things which are truely beyond the power of mere words to express, while in the spirit, for the things of God "knoweth no man, but by the Spirit of God". I have received a complete volume of scripture for this generation, as others (Isaiah, Samuel, Joseph, Ezechiel, Nephi, etc.) have for theirs. I testify boldly it is the truth, for I have received it from God, and as Paul "preached the gospel" with much contention, even so I am not afraid of a little contention also, for the warfare, has it not been transferred to the earth, and only the "best men bring forth the best works"?
