Proclamation of the Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

A striking declaration from twelve early church leaders opens this work, addressing kings, presidents, governors and peoples of every nation. Framed as a heavenly message, it announces the arrival of God’s kingdom and the restoration of apostolic authority on earth. The language blends prophetic promise with a direct appeal to all humanity, urging preparation for the promised return of the Son of Man.

The proclamation calls listeners to humble repentance, baptism and the reception of the Holy Spirit, promising spiritual gifts such as healing, prophecy and vision. It also highlights a vision of the indigenous peoples of the Americas as part of the ancient covenant, and outlines plans for a holy city and temple to serve the faithful. For those interested in early Latter‑Day Saint theology, the text offers a vivid snapshot of the movement’s foundational claims and its urgent call to prepare for an imminent divine event.
