[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 28th I perused the New York Herald Weekly ending Dec 2[0?] 1848 And turne which way I will, the signs of the times Are presenting seenes of Deep interest to the saint of God living at the present time in the opening of this last Dispensation to prepare the way for the coming of Christ to reign 1,000 years on the Earth with his saints. All the Nations of the Earth at the present time both Jew & Gentile Are presenting to the eye of men seenes that were unlocked for by the ignorant or learned, the Philosopher, Asstronomer Poet, Divine, Editor, Dr, Lawyier Statesman, President, Ruler King Prince or Pope, which events are ownly understood by the man of God inspired by the power of God & the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Such an one can perfectly understand the Present signs of the times. He can see the fulfillment of the words of the Lord begining to present themselves According to the prediction of all the Holy Prophets since the world began. Such are the ownly class who have faith in the litterel fulfillment of all the Revelations of Jesus Christ in the last days. They are the ownly ones who understand their fulfillment as the Events Are passing before them, or that have cause to rejoice therein. To all others the Sequel of the present signs of the Times Are hid behind the veil of doubts Darkness And uncertainty.
