[Patriarchal Blessing] William Jackson. (Given by John Smith.)

... The destroyer shall march through the earth in thy day and cut down thousands on thy right hand and on thy left and thy heart shall be pained because of it and thou shalt be able to save many of their children and bring them to Zion but the destroyer shall not come nigh thee. The angel of the Lord shall defend thee. Thou shalt have the ministering of angels and converse with them face to face as a man converseth with a friend. Thou shall assist them in gathering and bringing those children to Zion. Thou shalt have power to rebuke the waves of the sea and all the devouring elements. Thou shalt waft thyself from place to place on the wings of the wind to accomplish thy mission speedily. Thou shalt not be confined in prison for a long time for the angel of the Lord shall deliver thee. ...
