Brother Jacob in the name of Jesus of Nazareth I lay my hands upon thy head and seal upon thee a father's blessing. Thou art of the blood of Ephraim and entitled to all the blessings of the new and everlasting covenant. Thou art one of the noble spirits who were reserved to come forth in the last dispensation. Satan has laid many plans to destroy thee, but thy guardian angels have delivered thee out of his power. They will continue to deliver thee until the fullness of thy work is accomplished upon the earth and if thou dost desire it, with all thy heart thou shalt live to behold thy redeemer in the flesh. Although thou art of Ephraim thou hast laid the foundation of a great work among thy brethren who are of a mixed blood of Ephraim and Manasseh. The foundation which thou hast laid thou shalt live to build upon. Thou shalt lead thy thousands in the redemption of Zion and behold her waste places built up never more to be thrown down. Thy influence with the Lamanites shall increase until thy word shall be unto them as the word of God. Those Nephites who have remained upon the earth shall minister unto thee. Thou shalt live until thy head is white as the pure wool. Thou shalt be blessed with wives and children and of the increase of thy dominions there shall be no end. Thou shalt be one of the hundred and forty-four thousand who ascends to the God head. None of thy posterity shall be lost, but in due time all shall be redeemed and thou shalt rule over them in the house of Joseph forever. No good thing shall be with held from thee. I seal and confirm all thy former blessings with these and seal thee up into eternal lives in the name of Jesus, Amen.
