8  Wherefore the decree hath gone forth from the Father that they shall be gathered in unto one place upon the face of this land, to ^bprepare their hearts and be prepared in all things against the day when tribulation and desolation are sent forth upon the wicked.

  6  Behold, verily I say unto you, for this cause I have sent you—that you might be obedient, and that your hearts might be prepared to bear testimony of the things which are to come;

  3  Therefore, ^aprepare thy heart to receive and obey the instructions which I am about to give unto you; for all those who have this law revealed unto them must obey the same.

  10  For Ezra had ^aprepared his heart to seek the law of the Lord, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments.
