D&C 77:9

9 Q. What are we to understand by the angel ^aascending from the east, Revelation 7th chapter and 2nd verse?

A. We are to understand that the angel ascending from the east is he to whom is given the seal of the living God over the twelve tribes of ^bIsrael; wherefore, he crieth unto the four angels having the everlasting gospel, saying: Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their ^cforeheads. And, if you will receive it, this is ^dElias which was to come to gather together the tribes of Israel and ^erestore all things.
