Appoint Warren A. Cowdery as high priest over my church (even though he has a vain heart)
Absurdity Prophecy 106:1-8

1 It is my will that my servant Warren A. Cowdery should be appointed and ordained a presiding high priest over my church, in the land of Freedom and the regions round about;

Appoint Warren A. Cowdery [1] as high priest over my church in the land of Freedom. [2]

2 And should preach my everlasting gospel, and lift up his voice and warn the people, not only in his own place, but in the adjoining counties;

He should preach around his own place, and also in surrounding counties.

3 And devote his whole time to this high and holy calling, which I now give unto him, seeking diligently the kingdom of heaven and its righteousness, and all things necessary shall be added thereunto; for the laborer is worthy of his hire.

4 And again, verily I say unto you, the coming of the Lord draweth nigh, and it overtaketh the world as a thief in the night—

5 Therefore, gird up your loins, that you may be the children of light, and that day shall not overtake you as a thief.

The Lord is coming soon.

So gird your loins.

6 And again, verily I say unto you,there was joy in heaven when my servant Warren bowed to my scepter, and separated himself from the crafts of men;

Everyone in heaven rejoiced when Warren bowed to my scepter.

7 Therefore, blessed is my servant Warren, for I will have mercy on him; and, notwithstanding the vanity of his heart, I will lift him up inasmuch as he will humble himself before me.

So I'll have mercy on him, even though his heart is vain (if he hunbles himself before me).

8 And I will give him grace and assurance wherewith he may stand; and if he continue to be a faithful witness and a light unto the church I have prepared a crown for him in the mansions of my Father. Even so. Amen.

I've made a crown for him in my Father's mansions.
Amen.
