MESSAGE 2
MARCH 4, 1927 | 5:00 A.M. - 6:00 A.M.
The Messenger who appeared to me February 4 was
with me again from a little after 5 a.m. until 6 a.m., March 4,
1927.
On March 4 I awoke just in time to hear the clock
strike five. I thought of getting up but thought I would just rest
a few minutes longer, when all at once my room became somewhat
light. I looked at the window thinking that perhaps our neighbors
were getting up when all at once I saw the same messenger at my
bed. I had raised up in bed to look out of the window and remained
in that position until he left. This is what he
said:
OTTO FETTING
1 "I am the man sent from God and my name is
John. I am the messenger to prepare the way, I am come again that
in the mouth of two or three witnesses all things shall be
established. When I was here to see you the last time I did not
give you my name but what I told you about the church is true and
much more shall be revealed to you from time to time. Come with me
and I will show you a vision."
2 In a few moments we were standing on the Temple
Lot right in the middle of the lot and then the whole lot was
raised up so I could see, I thought, the whole world. All at once I
saw a woman weeping. Her clothes were torn. She was bleeding. Her
face looked pale and worn, and she said, "Look!" and all around the
Temple Lot was a smooth level piece of land stretched out for a
long way. It was made up of territory from all the lands and on it
were people standing, sober looking, worried. She said, "Oh my
children, come unto me that I may embrace you. I love you and I
want you to come to me." They paid no attention to her. She wept
and was grieved.
3 She said, "Look beyond!" I looked beyond and
could see a great valley all around this level land. It was fog and
mist and I could see rushing torrents of rivers and could hear all
kinds of yelling and noise. She said, "Oh, some of my children are
down there, they are in danger and some will be lost." She wept
again, then this vision disappeared.
4 The Messenger said, "Come with me and I will
show you another vision." He took me to the northeast corner of the
Temple Lot, and he said, "Look!" Here I could see men coming with
their tools, going to the middle of the Temple lot laying their
tools down. Some put on mason's clothes; others carpenter's aprons;
but all were solemn and quiet, and slowly they started to work on
the Temple.
5 The work started very slowly but it began to
grow. Then I could see people come from every direction, but when
they got to the Temple Lot they would take off their hats, walk
over to where they were at work, and a man stood there with a
treasury, and they would put something in and walk away, but would
keep their hats off until they were off the Temple Lot.
6 They were all colors and kinds, old and young,
but they all acted alike.
7 Then the Messenger said, "Look!" and I looked
up and saw the ground had also raised and I could see the woman
again but this time in a better dress. She looked up with a smile,
her clothes were white. Her hat was very fine and becoming in the
shape of a crown with twelve bright stars. Her children were coming
to her from every clime, even from the valley. The mist had raised.
They were slowly building on the Temple. To the west, the east, the
north and the south, in the sky stood the figures in large letters
"1929."
8 The Messenger said, "I have shown you the
vision and will come and see you again," and he left.
I was still sitting up in bed and the clock
struck 6:00 a.m.
