Art Bulla, the Apostle of Jesus Christ in these the last days:
FIRST VISION
While journeying on foot about 10:00 P.M.Dec 29, 1969, in the east, being
inducted into the armed forces the next day, being on the way to the bus
station to travel to the armed forces induction station in Raleigh, N.C, I
received the following vision, while on the road on foot:
December 29, 1969, while enwrapted in a heavenly vision, It seemed that I,
Art Bulla, was removed out of my body, or whether in the body or out of it I
could not tell, and I beheld his face, and He spake unto me face to face as
one man speaks unto another for forty-five minutes or an hour, and whether
in the body or out of it, I could not tell, for I beheld his glory, which
surpasses all understanding, and spake while in the vision, in a much better
tongue than any spoken by man at this time, which I supposed to be the
Adamic Tongue, my understanding being quickened by such might and
intelligence and power that it is beyond the mind of man unaided by the
Spirit of Revelation which dwells yet within me, to comprehend, and indeed
no words can convey, for it seemed that I was transfigured before Him of
whom I speak, my God in whom I bear record as others have before me, that He
lives, for I too have seen Him. And tongue cannot express his matchless
might, glory, power and intelligence, and I shall forever adore his glory,
for having once beheld his face and tasted of his love and might and power
and beheld things which I cannot convey, for there is no language, I must, I
MUST obtain his presence, and I shall not be content with anything else,
this world or its allurments. And having been ordained unto the Holy Order
of God which is after the Order of Melchizedec, even the Holy Apostleship,
the keys of which I hold, I bear record of my Father, for I have seen Him
and conversed with him, and I testify that He shall return in this the
Latter Day as soon as my people are straightened from this crooked and
perverse generation which shall be destroyed by the might of his power, and
that they be gathered out according to the Revelations which are being given
unto me, almost daily at this time, which is one of the darkest periods and
most wicked because of unbelief in the history of the earth, that Zion may
descend and that the heavens and the earth mingle and become One, as prayed
by the Only Begotten, even my brother Jesus of Nazereth. Yea, my Father, I
pray that thy will be done and thy Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.
Even so. Amen.
***
1 O GOD, thou [art] my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for
thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water
is;
2 To see thy power and thy glory, so [as] I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
3 Because thy lovingkindness [is] better than life, my lips shall praise
thee.
4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as [with] marrow and fatness; and my mouth
shall praise [thee] with joyful lips:
6 When I remember thee upon my bed, [and] meditate on thee in the [night]
watches.
7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will
I rejoice.
8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
(Old Testament | Psalms 63:1 - 8)
3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I
will make an everlasting covenant with you, [even] the sure mercies of
David.
4 Behold, I have given him [for] a witness to the people, a leader and
commander to the people.
(Old Testament | Isaiah 55:3 - 4)
Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Section Six 1843-44 Pg.364:
I shall read the 24th chapter of Matthew, and give it a literal rendering
and reading; and when it is rightly understood, it will be edifying.
I thought the very oddity of its rendering would be edifying anyhow -- "And
it will be preached, the Gospel of the kingdom, in the whole world, to a
witness over all people: and then will the end come." I will now read it in
German [which he did, and many Germans who were present said he translated
it correctly].
Interpretation of Scripture
The Savior said when these tribulations should take place, it should be
committed to a man who should be a witness over the whole world: the keys of
knowledge, power and revelations should be revealed to a witness who should
hold the testimony to the world.
1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock;
thou that dwellest [between] the cherubims, shine forth.
2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come
[and] save us.
3 Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man
[whom] thou madest strong for thyself.
(Old Testament | Psalms 80:1 - 3,17)
The commemoration of the advent of Joseph Smith, Jun., who is the greatest
Prophet of Israel (after Jesus of Nazareth), into this benighted world on
the 23rd of December being the first reason to celebrate toward the end of
the month of December, in lieu of the profanely artificial goy holiday of
Nimrudmas, the second reason is the vision of God and Christ in the third
heaven beheld by Art Bulla on the 29th of December, in the year of 1969. I
bear record by the Holy Ghost given me that Art Bulla is the One Mighty and
Strong (i.e., Messiah to Ephraim and Manasseh) prophesied by Isaiah (Ch. 28)
and Joseph Smith (D&C 85) and that Art Bulla did indeed experience the
ultimate vision in the manner of the Ancients and Joseph Smith. Art Bulla's
vision is the single most important event of the twentieth century. Let the
fools make light of the sacred things of God unto their condemnation. Let
the humble and meek and downtrodden of the earth, be they in China, in
Russia, in the land of Jerusalem, in South America, in Central America, in
North America, or elsewhere, receive the truth of the Lord God of Israel,
hallowed be His name forever and ever. Amen.
Yea, down with Chernobyl, or Wormwood.
Journal of Discourses, Vol.8, Pg.130, Brigham Young, July 22, 1860:
Our duty is to make the best of our present position. We have the Gospel of
life and salvation, to make bad men good and good men better. We are to
preach, exhort, expound, continue in our duty, be fervent in spirit, bearing
and forbearing with our brethren, being filled with love and kindness; and
we will yet, perhaps, get some of our froward connections into heaven.
Jesus said, when the woman caught in adultery was brought to him, "He that
is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." We are all
sinners, and it is our duty to cast sin from us when we learn what it is.
If we are a little good, become a little better; if we have a little light,
get a little more; if we have a little faith, add to it; and by-and-by we
shall be prepared to build up and beautify Zion, and to be exalted to reign
in immortality and be crowned with the Gods.

I pray for all the families of Israel scattered to the four corners of the
earth and for all Gentiles who have care for the house of Israel and even
for the wicked that they repent, that the Father may grant them mercy. He
that hath ears to hear, let him hear and repent, while it is day.
12 And then, O house of Israel, behold, these shall come from far; and lo,
these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.
(Book of Mormon | 1 Nephi 21:12)
1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the
blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call
[them] to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven
thee,
2 And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according
to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine
heart, and with all thy soul;
3 That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion
upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the
LORD thy God hath scattered thee.
4 If [any] of thine be driven out unto the outmost [parts] of heaven, from
thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch
thee:
5 And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers
possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply
thee above thy fathers.
6 And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy
seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul,
that thou mayest live.
7 And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on
them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.
8 And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his
commandments which I command thee this day.
9 And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand,
in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit
of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good,
as he rejoiced over thy fathers:
10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his
commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law,
[and] if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all
thy soul.
(Old Testament | Deuteronomy 30:1 - 10)
3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I
have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall
be fruitful and increase.
4 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they
shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith
the LORD.
5 ¶ Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a
righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute
judgment and justice in the earth.
6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this
[is] his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more
say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the
land of Egypt;
8 But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house
of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had
driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.
(Old Testament | Jeremiah 23:3 - 8)
12 Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from
the west; and these from the land of Sinim.
(Old Testament | Isaiah 49:12)
Journal of Discourses, Vol.8, Pg.129 - Pg.130, Brigham Young, July 22, 1860:
The dark shade of the valley of death is over that nations of the earth; the
vail of the covering is over them; they are hid from the presence of the
Lord. They do not behold his glory--they do not understand his providences;
the fear of death is over them, and it is a dark shadow. That was over me,
and I made the best of it. But "Mormonism" has opened up light. ... There
are the Old and New Testaments, the Book of Mormon, and the Book of Doctrine
and Covenants, which Joseph has given us, and they are of great worth to a
person wandering in darkness. They are like a lighthouse in the ocean, or a
finger-post which points out the road we should travel. Where do they
point? To the fountain of light. Joseph has gone to the spirit-world: he
is on his way to his glory and exaltation, and all his sayings, from first
to last, lead us to the fountain of light, where we can understand for
ourselves and walk in the light. That is what these books are for. They
are of God; they are valuable and necessary: by them we can establish the
doctrine of Christ. I never asked for any book when I was preaching to the
world, but the Old and New Testaments to establish everything I preached,
and to prove all that was then necessary--that it was the duty of the people
to throw off their sins, cast evil from them, return to the Lord their God,
embrace the fulness of the Gospel, be baptized for the remission of sins,
receive the Holy Ghost, and then go forward in all the commandments and
requirements of heaven, walking in the light of eternal truth.
***
The Revelations of Jesus Christ, a volume received mostly by the Prophet Art
Bulla (one section by Mosiah Hancock and another by John Taylor), is
Scripture of equal standing and authority as the Bible, the Book of Mormon,
the Doctrine and Covenants, the sermons of Brigham Young. Though this fallen
world does not recognize it as such, The Revelations of Jesus Christ is the
single most important book published in the twentieth century, yea to the
glory of the Father and of His Only Begotten Son.
26 And behold, all things are written by the Father; therefore out of the
books which shall be written shall the world be judged.
(Book of Mormon | 3 Nephi 27:26)
5 Behold, verily I say unto you, the angels are crying unto the Lord day and
night, who are ready and waiting to be sent forth to reap down the fields;
6 But the Lord saith unto them, pluck not up the tares while the blade is
yet tender (for verily your faith is weak), lest you destroy the wheat also.
7 Therefore, let the wheat and the tares grow together until the harvest is
fully ripe; then ye shall first gather out the wheat from among the tares,
and after the gathering of the wheat, behold and lo, the tares are bound in
bundles, and the field remaineth to be burned.
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 86:5 - 7)
1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the
desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the
glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and
Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, [and] the excellency of our
God.
3 ¶ Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.
4 Say to them [that are] of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold,
your God will come [with] vengeance, [even] God [with] a recompence; he will
come and save you.
(Old Testament | Isaiah 35:1 - 4)
24 But before the great day of the Lord shall come, Jacob shall flourish in
the wilderness, and the Lamanites shall blossom as the rose.
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 49:24)
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a
thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh
upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you
as a thief.
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not
of the night, nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as [do] others; but let us watch and be sober.
7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are
drunken in the night.
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of
faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
(New Testament | 1 Thessalonians 5:2 - 8)
Ye that believe, become well acquainted with the Spirit of God. Prayers
offered
up in genuine humility are crucial. Holiness unto the Lord of hosts! Amen.
56 And at that day, when I shall come in my glory, shall the parable be
fulfilled which I spake concerning the ten virgins.
57 For they that are wise and have received the truth, and have taken the
Holy Spirit for their guide, and have not been deceived?verily I say unto
you, they shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire, but shall abide the
day.
58 And the earth shall be given unto them for an inheritance; and they shall
multiply and wax strong, and their children shall grow up without sin unto
salvation.
59 For the Lord shall be in their midst, and his glory shall be upon them,
and he will be their king and their lawgiver.
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 45:56 - 59)
The foolish virgins are in reference to the haughty cultural Mormons.
19 For [in] those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the
beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall
be.
20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be
saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the
days.
21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here [is] Christ; or, lo, [he
is] there; believe [him] not:
22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and
wonders, to seduce, if [it] [were] possible, even the elect.
23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
24 ¶ But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened,
and the moon shall not give her light,
25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven
shall be shaken.
26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great
power and glory.
27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect
from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost
part of heaven.
28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and
putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know
that it is nigh, [even] at the doors.
30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all
these things be done.
31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
32 ¶ But of that day and [that] hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels
which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
34 [For the Son of man is] as a man taking a far journey, who left his
house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and
commanded the porter to watch.
35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh,
at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
(New Testament | Mark 13:19 - 37)
