Revelation given to Joseph Smith the Prophet and Sidney Rigdon, near Fayette, New York, December 1830. Herein is given the first commandment concerning a gathering in this dispensation.
1 Behold, I say unto you that it is not expedient in me that ye should a any more until ye shall go to the Ohio, and this because of the enemy and for your sakes.
2 And again, I say unto you that ye shall not go until ye have preached my gospel in those parts, and have a up the church whithersoever it is found, and more especially in b; for, behold, they pray unto me in much faith.
3 And again, a commandment I give unto the church, that it is expedient in me that they should assemble together at a, against the time that my servant Oliver Cowdery shall return unto them.
4 Behold, here is wisdom, and let every man a for himself until I come. Even so. Amen.
