I admittedly did not make it through all the text either. However, I found the following points relevant to what you discussed in the first section.
1. The Fulness of the Gospel
The Fulness of the Gospel is discussed in other topics on this forum. To summarize what is eloquently stated there, the Fulness of the Gospel is: Repent, all ye ends of the Earth, and be Baptized that ye may receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands and endure to the end.
2. The sealed portion of the Golden Plates
Again, this has been discussed in other topics. To summarize, the sealed 2/3rds of the Golden Plates contains a single prophecy/vision given to the Brother of Jared which shows/expounds the entire history of this world, from the creation until the burning of the earth and the judgement of all men.
3. Elijah is a calling, as well as a person.
This is an important point for your text, as it means it may take multiple people, acting as, or in the office of (an) Elijah to fulfill the prophecies you have reference. So, Elijah the prophet of the Old Testament did come, and act in the office of Elijah. Joseph Smith did come, and act in the office of Elijah. There is a person who has come who WILL restore Israel unto the land of promise (Jerusalem). This person will take the throne of David unto himself, being a descendant of David, thus been the stem of Jesse (Judah) and the stem of Joseph. This is the second half of the fulfillment of the prophecy of John in the Book of Revelation that the stick of Judah and the Stick of Joseph shall become one in the hand of the Lord. This person will act as a prophet, defending Israel from her enemies (Rev 11). He will be King of Israel before the coming of the Lord. He will purify the sons of Levi, and restore the Aaronic priesthood to their care, and theirs alone, when they offer an offering in righteousness. There is evidence this offering will be a return of animal sacrifices in Jerusalem. During his reign as King, he will be known as the Prince of Peace (as was Melchizedek) and he will reduce the amount of war and bloodshed among the Gentile and Heathen nations.
These events will take place after many of the plagues spoken of in the Book of Revelation have taken place. When he enters Jerusalem, there will be wars and bloodshed continually, such that every man must either take up the sword in defense of his own life and his country, or flee unto Zion for safety. This Elijah will bring Zion to Jerusalem and make it a haven from these wars for many years, also building the temple in Jerusalem. He will have the power of Moses in commanding the plagues of Egypt and the famines of Elijah. These will be used to subdue the Gentile and Heathen nations under the reign of this King David. He will send out Missionaries who have the Seal of God in their Forehead (Rev 7) to seek out any and all who are willing to flee to Zion and learn of the ways of the Lord. This Elijah/David will be the one to greet the Lord in the Temple when he returns in His glory.
If you are not familiar with these verses, I can quote them for you, or state the source of these prophecies, though I do not have time now to do so.
