Zion and Jerusalem, January 15, 2013
THE works, and the designs, and the purposes of God cannot be frustrated, neither can they come to naught.
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 3:1)
This discourse is addressed to ALL OF YOU, but more particualry to the Idolaters and the Adulamites; and principally to all the apostates and dissenters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Hear my words and give heed to my speech for the LORD has spoken it saying:
THE works, and the designs, and the purposes of God cannot be frustrated, neither can they come to naught. For God doth not walk in crooked paths, neither doth he turn to the right hand nor to the left, neither doth he vary from that which he hath said, therefore his paths are straight, and his course is one eternal round.
Remember, remember that it is not the work of God that is frustrated, but the work of men.
For although a man may have many revelations, and have power to do many mighty works, yet if he boasts in his own strength, and sets at naught the counsels of God, and follows after the dictates of his own will and carnal desires, he must fall and incur the vengeance of a just God upon him.
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 3:1 - 4)
Brethren, is this:
The Best Conference Talk You Never Read
Like this website liked above there are many web sites. Whatsoever information is liked above is a small fraction of what the teachers that the apostates and the intellectuals have piled up to themselves have to say concerning this church, its doctrines, its programs and its leaders with an attempt to tarnish the church, diminsh its good name and influence; and to frustrate the work and the designs of the almighty GOD. They say much but none of them take upon them with real intent of heart the sacred name of name of Jesus, the Christ, as once they promised.
I do not per say like all general conferences of the church, because the word which I hear and read often from the given talks is very good and efficacious. And in my imperfection it often pierces my soul each and every time. Before, in the days of my wickedness, I used to run away from church conferences and from meetings, pretty much like Jonah run away from his responsibilities and duties to GOD. But now regardless of peril I stay put, because as the world says, from the LORD "we can run but we cannot hide." And at times the words of general conference, the message hurt deeply inside the soul for the word of God is as a sword of two edges that cuts asunder joint and marrow; and sooner or later it must penetrate and pierce every heart. And that pain I find very exquisite. If you do not like it, try the pain inflicted by great and abominable church of the devil or the sinagogue of Satan.
Therefore, to me the General Conferences and all that the church has to offer, is like going to the hospital for heart surgery or medicines and instructions or prescriptions for deadly and deteriorative soul diseases inflicted by the poisons of sin. I do not know about you, but I am not fee from sin. If I were I would make my God a liar or that his infinite atonement is of no efficacy in my life today. However, that medicine and/or instructions that I receive as often as I will, will eventually help me to be whole and happy when I meet the chief surgeon who will say to me you are whole. This church makes evil men followers of righteousness. And those who are faithful and obedient, it makes better and those who are great and noble it makes perfect. If I or anyone was good or just, then there is no need of Christ in our lives. And if there is one that does good among us, it can only be by the power and gifts of GOD. And this persuasive knowledge is taken from the Psalm and other scriptures that say:
They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
(Old Testament | Psalms 14:3)
Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.
(Old Testament | Psalms 14:4)
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
(New Testament | Romans 3:10 - 12)
And wo be unto the children of men if this be the case; for there shall be none that doeth good among you, no not one. For if there be one among you that doeth good, he shall work by the power and gifts of God.
(Book of Mormon | Moroni 10:25)
This is why the last conference of the church, as President Lorenzo Snow may have said or would put it, the best ever. And I am in it for the message and to be like unto the chief messenger. But I am both happy for the message and for the messengers regardless of who they are. Often the ones that I think I like less, are the ones that I pay more attention for they profit me the most. They are the ones that tell me what I do not want to hear or what I do not know. Others I like because they stand as witness of God and confirm my faith and works. So they are all profitable to me. Or in other words, I am unlike many of my brethren that complain above and who should be disciplined because they boast and declare that they love the messenger and tend to forsake or despise the message; or like others that have gone far away from us since the beginning, who say that they love the message and vehemently despise the messenger. These gain saying people and adulamites are pollutions and contradictions that the scriptures talsk about.
I rejoice both in the gift and in the giver of the gift, until I know all things, I am an eternal student, I cannot hear, I cannot read, I cannot have or say enough in the cause of my God.
And since no one man or woman in this holy church is the receiver of all the gifts of God at once, I have need of every teacher and every minister and every member that this church has to offer whether in a high or low post, until we are al edified and come to the unity of faith, and are perfected in Christ and presented unto the Father a a Church that is spotless. For of this it is written:
For what doth it profit a man if a gift is bestowed upon him, and he receive not the gift? Behold, he rejoices not in that which is given unto him, neither rejoices in him who is the giver of the gift.
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 88:33)
O then ye unbelieving, turn ye unto the Lord; cry mightily unto the Father in the name of Jesus, that perhaps ye may be found spotless, pure, fair, and white, having been cleansed by the blood of the Lamb, at that great and last day.
(Book of Mormon | Mormon 9:6)
When he shall deliver up the kingdom, and present it unto the Father, spotless, saying: I have overcome and have trodden the wine–press alone, even the wine–press of the fierceness of the wrath of Almighty God.
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 76:107)
If the LORD would present himself to me on this day and hour, with all his glory, I will be very happy, for I expect him every day. He is the one who commissioned me to write. But I believe I have a lot of polishing to do ahead of me, therefore, I will also immediately melt in his presence of shame and disgust and bittter agony of soul; seeing his purity and my still yet to clean filthiness. Because of the brightness of his coming, my sinful spots or nature will appear and that would be like being dipped into hell alive. I speak by experience. This is why we need a church, for the polishing and perfecting of the saints. IT is one of its great misions which also comprises the preaching of the godpel and the redemption of the dead. I was one of them as it is written in the scriptures concerning Lazarous. Do you believe this?
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
(New Testament | John 11:25 - 26)
This is why I follow counsel and directions of all the faithful leaders of ther church as much as my intellect, abilities and resources permit me; for lo and behold, the gospel of Jesus Christ and the instructions of it authorized officials in the church are my bread and butter. For the LORD counsels us and teaches us that man does not live by bread alone, but by every words that comes out fo the mouth of GOD. Remeber that it is wrrtien:
It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
(New Testament | Matthew 4:4)
I therefore cannot differentiate between the gospel and the curch or from one and the other or between the Gospel and the Church as the intellectual within and without the gates of the kingdom do. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is my nursing father and the Church is my nursing mother. I have need of both of them, and god willing, forever more. Life is short, and being very generous, I may be wrong, but unless I can live some three hundred and fifty years in a row on the flesh like Enoch, I do not think that in this present physical condition, I can attain heaven like unto Melchizedek or like Enoch and be independent of the Church of Jesus Christ in this life or under heaven unless a change is wrought in my body. And this church is the instrument in the hands of my GOD to achieve his purposes which are to beign to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.
You have become too intellectual, which thing is good if you follow the cousels of God, but foolishenss if you not. But as if that was not enough evil, you are also polluting the church who feeds you mana by speaking evil of the Lord’s bride. Remember that to be spiritually minded is life and that to be carnally minded is death. For of this it is plainly written:
But wo unto him that has the law given, yea, that has all the commandments of God, like unto us, and that transgresseth them, and that wasteth the days of his probation, for awful is his state!
O that cunning plan of the evil one! O the vainness, and the frailties, and the foolishness of men! When they are learned they think they are wise, and they hearken not unto the counsel of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves, wherefore, their wisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not. And they shall perish.
But to be learned is good if they hearken unto the counsels of God.
But wo unto the rich, who are rich as to the things of the world. For because they are rich they despise the poor, and they persecute the meek, and their hearts are upon their treasures; wherefore, their treasure is their god. And behold, their treasure shall perish with them also.
And wo unto the deaf that will not hear; for they shall perish.
Wo unto the blind that will not see; for they shall perish also.
Wo unto the uncircumcised of heart, for a knowledge of their iniquities shall smite them at the last day.
Wo unto the liar, for he shall be thrust down to hell.
Wo unto the murderer who deliberately killeth, for he shall die.
Wo unto them who commit whoredoms, for they shall be thrust down to hell.
Yea, wo unto those that worship idols, for the devil of all devils delighteth in them.
And, in fine, wo unto all those who die in their sins; for they shall return to God, and behold his face, and remain in their sins.
O, my beloved brethren, remember the awfulness in transgressing against that Holy God, and also the awfulness of yielding to the enticings of that cunning one.
Remember, to be carnally–minded is death, and to be spiritually–minded is life eternal.
O, my beloved brethren, give ear to my words. Remember the greatness of the Holy One of Israel. Do not say that I have spoken hard things against you; for if ye do, ye will revile against the truth; for I have spoken the words of your Maker. I know that the words of truth are hard against all uncleanness; but the righteous fear them not, for they love the truth and are not shaken.
O then, my beloved brethren, come unto the Lord, the Holy One. Remember that his paths are righteous. Behold, the way for man is narrow, but it lieth in a straight course before him, and the keeper of the gate is the Holy One of Israel; and he employeth no servant there; and there is none other way save it be by the gate; for he cannot be deceived, for the Lord God is his name.
And whoso knocketh, to him will he open; and the wise, and the learned, and they that are rich, who are puffed up because of their learning, and their wisdom, and their riches—yea, they are they whom he despiseth; and save they shall cast these things away, and consider themselves fools before God, and come down in the depths of humility, he will not open unto them.
But the things of the wise and the prudent shall be hid from them forever—yea, that happiness which is prepared for the saints.
O, my beloved brethren, remember my words. Behold, I take off my garments, and I shake them before you; I pray the God of my salvation that he view me with his all–searching eye; wherefore, ye shall know at the last day, when all men shall be judged of their works, that the God of Israel did witness that I shook your iniquities from my soul, and that I stand with brightness before him, and am rid of your blood.
O, my beloved brethren, turn away from your sins; shake off the chains of him that would bind you fast; come unto that God who is the rock of your salvation.
Prepare your souls for that glorious day when justice shall be administered unto the righteous, even the day of judgment, that ye may not shrink with awful fear; that ye may not remember your awful guilt in perfectness, and be constrained to exclaim: Holy, holy are thy judgments, O Lord God Almighty—but I know my guilt; I transgressed thy law, and my transgressions are mine; and the devil hath obtained me, that I am a prey to his awful misery.
But behold, my brethren, is it expedient that I should awake you to an awful reality of these things? Would I harrow up your souls if your minds were pure? Would I be plain unto you according to the plainness of the truth if ye were freed from sin?
Behold, if ye were holy I would speak unto you of holiness; but as ye are not holy, and ye look upon me as a teacher, it must needs be expedient that I teach you the consequences of sin. Behold, my soul abhorreth sin, and my heart delighteth in righteousness; and I will praise the holy name of my God.
Come, my brethren, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters; and he that hath no money, come buy and eat; yea, come buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore, do not spend money for that which is of no worth, nor your labor for that which cannot satisfy. Hearken diligently unto me, and remember the words which I have spoken; and come unto the Holy One of Israel, and feast upon that which perisheth not, neither can be corrupted, and let your soul delight in fatness.
Behold, my beloved brethren, remember the words of your God; pray unto him continually by day, and give thanks unto his holy name by night. Let your hearts rejoice.
And behold how great the covenants of the Lord, and how great his condescensions unto the children of men; and because of his greatness, and his grace and mercy, he has promised unto us that our seed shall not utterly be destroyed, according to the flesh, but that he would preserve them; and in future generations they shall become a righteous branch unto the house of Israel. And now, my brethren, I would speak unto you more; but on the morrow I will declare unto you the remainder of my words. Amen.
(Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 9:27 - 54)
The Gospel is my Father and the Church of Jesus Christ is my nursing Mother and so is yours if you have received the ordinances of salvation and the temple covenants. And the education, the nourishment and development of the children of GOD is administered thru her inspired teachers. From her and from my elder brethren, I receive my meals from my heavenly father that if I were to taste crude and as they proceed directly from his mouth, unless we are purified and sanctified as the Nephites were in the very presence of the LORD and spotless before him, most of us would have been dead long ago of food poisoning if it were not for the suculent meals and pastures prepared by the church. So the more I get from the apostles and prophets and the seventies and the leading sisters, the more I will be able to tolerate the Lord’s coming, even as my ancient fathers did, when he came to visits them.
Now, you apostates and dissenters are no different that the children of Israel; even those rebellious children who rebelled against Moses right after they were delivered; or like some of the the children of Lehi, and even those early saints who demanded onion and bacon from their leaders instead of milk and honey as the LORD intended until they were of age for the weighty matters of the law. That is not all, you are like many of the prophet stoning Jews who were called scribes, Pharisees and Sadducees, even the doctors of the law, who vigorously claimed to be the children of Abraham and to love and follow the doctrines of Moses, but forsook to keep the commandments and laid heavy burdens upon the people. And when the mighty and strong or the almighty God of Israel came to save them, they missed him. Oh, generation of vipers. Ye heart hardened and stiff-necked people how long do you suppose that the LORD will suffer you? How long will you let yourselves be led by blind guides? Why do you pile yourselves teachers and deny the truth?
Behold ye are worse than they; for as the Lord liveth, if a prophet come among you and declareth unto you the word of the Lord, which testifieth of your sins and iniquities, ye are angry with him, and cast him out and seek all manner of ways to destroy him; yea, you will say that he is a false prophet, and that he is a sinner, and of the devil, because he testifieth that your deeds are evil.
But behold, if a man shall come among you and shall say: Do this, and there is no iniquity; do that and ye shall not suffer; yea, he will say: Walk after the pride of your own hearts; yea, walk after the pride of your eyes, and do whatsoever your heart desireth—and if a man shall come among you and say this, ye will receive him, and say that he is a prophet.
Yea, ye will lift him up, and ye will give unto him of your substance; ye will give unto him of your gold, and of your silver, and ye will clothe him with costly apparel; and because he speaketh flattering words unto you, and he saith that all is well, then ye will not find fault with him.
O ye wicked and ye perverse generation; ye hardened and ye stiffnecked people, how long will ye suppose that the Lord will suffer you? Yea, how long will ye suffer yourselves to be led by foolish and blind guides? Yea, how long will ye choose darkness rather than light? Yea, behold, the anger of the Lord is already kindled against you; behold, he hath cursed the land because of your iniquity. And behold, the time cometh that he curseth your riches, that they become slippery, that ye cannot hold them; and in the days of your poverty ye cannot retain them.
(Book of Mormon | Helaman 13:26 - 31)
But in this day and age, you apostates and dissenters are even worst than the Christians who followed there, after the death of Jesus and the apostles and prophets until today. You are like them who claim to firmly believe in Jesus Christ but deny the most precious part of his gospel and forsake to act Christ like. Did not Mormon speak about this situation you are now in, even in the book of Mormon, in fourth Nephi? This is exactly your apostate condition. By criticizing the church and her leaders; you appear to be the designated persecutors of the saints of whom Mormon speaks boldly. For some of you are with us, but not of us, you are raven wolves that do not spare the flock; and many of you have gone from us but are not of us, but of you father the Devil and his church, the foundation of your destruction you are building. And in your condition you are worst than if you had never received the everlasting gospel. For of this it is written to the year and age:
And it came to pass that when two hundred and ten years had passed away there were many churches in the land; yea, there were many churches which professed to know the Christ, and yet they did deny the more parts of his gospel, insomuch that they did receive all manner of wickedness, and did administer that which was sacred unto him to whom it had been forbidden because of unworthiness. And this church did multiply exceedingly because of iniquity, and because of the power of Satan who did get hold upon their hearts.
(Book of Mormon | 4 Nephi 1:27 - 28)
Now, look and behold at yourselves or your individual or collective churches in in the mirror. You are clean shaven and beautiful in the outside like whited sepulchers; but inside you are full of dead men’s bones, filth and abomination. Like them of all and the concurrent generation, which by the way is as wicked and perverse as that in whihc our LORD was cricified, you profess to love and follow Josephs Smiths and the prophets that follow after them, but forsake to perform your priesthood duty unto GOD and magnify your calling today. Woe unto them that have forsaken the priesthood altogether. But instead, you are preaching your own instruction and your own doctrines setting yourselves as the light of men.
And this is according to the oath and covenant which belongeth to the priesthood. Therefore, all those who receive the priesthood, receive this oath and covenant of my Father, which he cannot break, neither can it be moved. But whoso breaketh this covenant after he hath received it, and altogether turneth therefrom, shall not have forgiveness of sins in this world nor in the world to come.
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 84:39 - 41)
And there are some adulators and foraken priestshood holders in here also that in their idolatry of your false doctrines are worshiping you for the works that you have written. But you are no different that the blind guides leading the blind who are deceived and walk life deceiving others. And I prophesy this day in the sacred name of Jesus Christ, that unless you speedily repent and amend your ways, they whom you profess to follow will be your accusers in the great Day of Judgment. I exhort you to remember these things for the time soon comes that you will know that I do not lie. And the LORD will say unto you. Did I not declare unto you the truth by the words written by this man? And these things I say for the fulfilling of the prophecies as they proceed from the mouth of the everlasting God. For his words and his salvation shall hiss forth as a lamp that burns from generation to generation. Behold it is written, not by me or out of me, but by Moroni who said:
And I exhort you to remember these things; for the time speedily cometh that ye shall know that I lie not, for ye shall see me at the bar of God; and the Lord God will say unto you: Did I not declare my words unto you, which were written by this man, like as one crying from the dead, yea, even as one speaking out of the dust? I declare these things unto the fulfilling of the prophecies. And behold, they shall proceed forth out of the mouth of the everlasting God; and his word shall hiss forth from generation to generation.
(Book of Mormon | Moroni 10:27 - 28)
For by these light or high minded speeches of the apostates and dissenters, by most if not all the replies and most comments that you write or make against the church and about church dignities, you are only dishonoring the Good name of the Church, your very own mother and putting Christ, who has washed you, anointed you and adopted you as your father, into shame and spitting as did the ancients who rejected, cast out, stoned and killed the prophets. You have become like the salt of the earth which has lost its flavor which is good for nothing but to be cast out and be trodden under foot. For if salt that has lost its flavor it is written:
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
(New Testament | Matthew 5:13)
For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it?
(New Testament | Mark 9:49 - 50)
Now, concerning the advent of the one mighty and strong. I have time and again read your words; and in them, you now and then profess are so anxious to see a mighty and strong prophet come like a tempest of hail; or like the rush o f mighty waters to cast down the earth with the hand; and for better or for worst, to flood you with the truth and to set the household of GOD in order, or to crash to dust and ashes the church as we know it and start anew it if it needs be to satisfy you concupiscence and to vindicate your folly. Remember those who attacked Alma and Amulek who wanted harm to come to others, but it backifred and came to them. And those workers of iniquity that dig a whole to entrap and destroy the saints of GOD, and the people of the covenant of the LORD, will fall themselves in the pit that they digged. IS not this written? Were not these the saying of the Angel that spoke to Nephi. Here is how it is written:
And that great pit, which hath been digged for them by that great and abominable church, which was founded by the devil and his children, that he might lead away the souls of men down to hell—yea, that great pit which hath been digged for the destruction of men shall be filled by those who digged it, unto their utter destruction, saith the Lamb of God; not the destruction of the soul, save it be the casting of it into that hell which hath no end. For behold, this is according to the captivity of the devil, and also according to the justice of God, upon all those who will work wickedness and abomination before him.
(Book of Mormon | 1 Nephi 14:3 - 4)
But when that prophet appears, with the gospel of salvation to settle or reaffirm the affairs of the church in the power and spirit and office of Elias, such as John the Baptist, Alma the younger, Samuel the Lamanite or even Paul, because he declares openly your wickedness and your open rebellion, you forsake to acknowledge him as a prophet of God and say that he is a false prophet; and that he has demon or that he is mad.
But thus says the LORD. Repent or I will smite you by the rod of my mouth. I AM is the rod of his mouth, for the sword of the Holy Ghost is the word of GOD. And even though that prophet is dark, shadowy or unlearned and does have the qualities you have idolized in him, you cannot believe that he is here when he declares the truth of GOD which is in his bosom in unto your very own face.
Yet, unlike many or most of you, the LORD has given him an errand morning by morning; to speak without opening his mouth, or to act in word a and in deeds; and to write in the tongue of the learned saying; that when the OMS came, there was no man, and when he called, there was none to answer.
Therefore, I have set my face like flint, and I shall not be ashamed. Who will contend with me, say she, for he is near that justifies me. Let us stand together, and who is my adversary. Let him come near me and I will smite him with the rod of my mouth. Behold you that kindle a fire and walk in the light of your own sparks, this your will receive from my hand; you will lie down in sorrow, for you have turned back from the LORD and have not sough his face nor enquired of him, but preferred to settle on their lees to see the world burn, and in doing so, like Eli, Ophni and Phineas, they sinned against the LORD thinking that the Lord will not bring good nor evil for their evil deeds and for making many to stumble. And as it is today, great was the iniquity of those days. Here is the law and the testimony:
THUS saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away. Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer?
Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst. I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned. The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.
I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting. For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed. He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me. Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.
Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.
(Old Testament | Isaiah 50:1 - 11)
And them that are turned back from the LORD; and those that have not sought the LORD, nor enquired for him.
Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD is at hand: for the LORD hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests.
And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD's sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel.
In the same day also will I punish all those that leap on the threshold, which fill their masters' houses with violence and deceit. And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hills.
Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are cut down; all they that bear silver are cut off. And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil.
Therefore their goods shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation: they shall also build houses, but not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.
The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.
That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.
And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.
Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.
(Old Testament | Zephaniah 1:6 - 18)
Tell me now, brethren, does any one of you guys and gals keep all the Lord’s commandments as stated in the Holy Scriptures from the beginning of the until today? Is any one of you free from sin? Do you honor your father and your mother? Do you keep the Sabbath day holy and pay a full tithing unto the LORD? Do you attend to the temple often? Are all the words of the LORD, his commandments, laws, statutes, truth, justice, judgments, and mercy written in your inward parts? Are you fully consecrated unto the LORD and anointed to walk with him all the rest of your days? If you do, you already should have made your calling and election sure. And if you are not out of this world and caught up into heaven, you must be using the power of your presthood and preaching repentance unceasingly and bringing souls unto God as if there is no tomorrow like Alma the younger and the children of Mosiah did. Does it not torture your souls to know that many of our bretheren are blleding, suffering and dying in ignorance of the truth, or have you become like the wicked priests of King Noha who killed Abinadi?
Now they were desirous that salvation should be declared to every creature, for they could not bear that any human soul should perish; yea, even the very thoughts that any soul should endure endless torment did cause them to quake and tremble. And thus did the Spirit of the Lord work upon them, for they were the very vilest of sinners. And the Lord saw fit in his infinite mercy to spare them; nevertheless they suffered much anguish of soul because of their iniquities, suffering much and fearing that they should be cast off forever.
(Book of Mormon | Mosiah 28:3 - 4)
If you are doing this, what my bretheren and I who are now speaking to you this day fromthe dust, you deserve my respect and reverence, for you are on your way to godhood; and if it is so, I am the one who deserves to fall like a tree when it is smitten by the vivid shaft of lighting. Who among you is worthy or dares to stretch forth the hand and steady the ark of GOD? Have you forgotten that with or without us this Church and its intended work will go on even if one or two obscure and unlearned elders reams in to stand? For if the LORD had Seven thousand in reserve even in the days of Elijah, when he was afraid and fled to enquire of him, since the day of the restoration there must be a great army of reserved faithful servicemen unto the LORD. It is not only six of us and we do not have just pocket knifes in our trousers. We are the servants of the most High and are endowed with power from on high praying day and night to allow us to trash the nations and overthrow the towers of the enemy.
And the lord of the vineyard said unto one of his servants:
Go and gather together the residue of my servants, and take all the strength of mine house, which are my warriors, my young men, and they that are of middle age also among all my servants, who are the strength of mine house, save those only whom I have appointed to tarry; And go ye straightway unto the land of my vineyard, and redeem my vineyard; for it is mine; I have bought it with money. Therefore, get ye straightway unto my land; break down the walls of mine enemies; throw down their tower, and scatter their watchmen. And inasmuch as they gather together against you, avenge me of mine enemies, that by and by I may come with the residue of mine house and possess the land.
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 101:55 - 58)
Now, you apostates and dissenters, as accusers of the brethren, if you have been inflicted damage and can show sound evidence and there are more than two or three ocular witness against the Lord’s elders and servants in the church today or in the past, for unbecoming conduct of breaking the Lord’s holly commandments with intent to pervert the right ways of the LORD; as a judge in Israel, empowered to pass judgment on the spot, the bishop of the entire church would be more than happy to review that evidence of your case and render you deserved justice or even render you punitive damages. But if he will not hear you, then take with you two or three witnesses that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established and call upon the Lord for divine justice. For it is written that we are not to take an accusation against an elder in this church save it is in the mouth of two or three witnesses. For the wages of sin is death and this is the law and the testimony:
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
(New Testament | Romans 6:23)
But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
(New Testament | Matthew 18:16)
At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
(Old Testament | Deuteronomy 17:6)
Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward. Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
(New Testament | 1 Timothy 5:17 - 19)
And if not, of if they have not inflicted anything in you, you indeed need to repent and amend your ways immediately for you have broken not only you priesthood oaths but your temple covenants by your covetousness, by your light mindedness, by your evil practices and speaking evil of the Lord’s anointed. For of you spoke prophets saying that you honor GOD with your lips but your hearts are far away from him. You teach for doctrines the precepts and commandments of men, having form of godliness but denying the power thereof. You are turning things upside down, and hide in the shadows hiding your name in fear of reproach. And because of this overspreading wickedness or snares of the devil that cause s lot of people to stumble, the LORD closes the eyes of our prophets and our seers does he cover so that we all at one point or another languish of hunger and of thirst. Then you say, they give us hot dog bread, but no meat; they gives us hamburger but no beef, they give us breakfast but no bacon. For have you also forgotten the LORD gives unto men accordingto the desires of their heart. And when the meat of the Hot Dog, the beef of the hamburger and the bacon of the breakfast is given unto you plentifully, you vomit it even from your nostrils as the ancient children of Israel because you cannot digest it or stand it. And then as an excuse you get offended at the leaders of the church; and do begin to persecute the saints and stone the holy prophets, even today.
Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us? Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest? And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness. The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off: That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.
Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale. But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel. They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.
(Old Testament | Isaiah 29:13 - 24)
I am not accusing you, but, for what I have heard and seen, here and in the testimony of the scriptures which is more powerful than that of the living, and my witness is true, I perceive that instead of them, my brethren in the church being the perpetrators, you are, and you all here bear witness unto yourselves of your evil deeds for you are here in the church of the devil, counseling yourselves, receiving the praises of the world and speaking evil of dignities, like Jannes and Jambres did who resisted Moses. And for this, unless you speedily repent and amend your ways, you shall receive your just reward.
Unless you speedily repant and mend your ways and make the path of the LORD straight in this life or the next, you are not going to se the salvation of the LORD. Instead, you are going to be cast into hell alive or the earth is going to open wide her mouth and swallow you as it this in the day of sedition or in the valley of decision. Therefore chose this Day whom you will serve, for I havemade my choice and me and those of my house shall serve the LORD.
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
(Old Testament | Joshua 24:15)
Therefore when the mighty and strong come, he will not come alone, but with all the angels of heaven, with the sword of GOD and all the scriputures at your disposal. They are the ones speaking to you now. I can only wonder what else could Enoch, Noha, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Paul and Joseph smith with his friends and companions are going to say about you when death overtakes you and you are presented before the bar of GOD. AT present, if they werre not yet resurrected, as the Christ, I can only envision that they would certainly roll over in their graves and laugh at your folly for your slothfulness and greediness, for your pride, for boasting, for your blasphemies and for you high mindedness; and by so doing you are building the foundation of your own destruction. Instead of being the sons of Leah and Rachel, you appear to be the sons of Bilah and Zilpha and on this day of whom Joseph bought unto their father their evil report. And I Joseph will bring your filthy day dreaming and evil report to my father, Israel.
These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.
(Old Testament | Genesis 37:2)
Just to name a few in between, I know what Enoch, Paul and Jacobs would say to you this day which is:
The Lord which spake with me, the same is the God of heaven, and he is my God, and your God, and ye are my brethren, and why counsel ye yourselves, and deny the God of heaven?
(Pearl of Great Price | Moses 6:43)
THIS know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
(New Testament | 2 Timothy 3:1 - 9)
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
(New Testament | 2 Timothy 3:13 - 17)
Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
(New Testament | Jude 1:8)
Now you have seen the works that are written by you who are accusers. You have in the above linked site questioned that the church must be in error because some of the apostles and prophets change or amend their words from time to time; and that therefore they are watering the doctrine. Now, I do that all the time myself. The Lord gives a torrent of revelation to the faithful and there is no place to contain it. We cannot write in Hebrew so we cannot write more perfectly. And unless you are a professional it is hard to condense all the truth in one place.
Butt regardless of all that, have you forgotten that God calls the weak things of the world, those that are unlearned and despised to trash the nations by the power of the Lord’s Spirit?
Wherefore, I call upon the weak things of the world, those who are unlearned and despised, to thrash the nations by the power of my Spirit. And their arm shall be my arm, and I will be their shield and their buckler; and I will gird up their loins, and they shall fight manfully for me; and their enemies shall be under their feet; and I will let fall the sword in their behalf, and by the fire of mine indignation will I preserve them.
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 35:13 - 14)
The Aaronic priesthood in itself, when magnified properly has the keys and power to administers the letter of the word of the gospel to conform or to harmonize with the capacity, the intellect and the faith of the believers and agreeable to the covenants and commandments of GOD? What part of agreeable don’t you understand? If the brethren do not agree or harmonize with one particular speech given by another brother, as presiding Hig Priest of the Msot High GOD, they can lawfully amend it as many times as they wish until they all agree or reach concensus. In my insufferable ignorance, I sometimes do not agree with all they say to me, but that does not diminish my faith and determination to listen to them and to serve the LORD. And if we agreed in all things from the get go, then there is no use in having inspired leaders in the first place. IF that were so, not church would be necessary because we would be able to get all we need from heaven to save ourselves. But that is not the way the order of heaven works. How much salvation got the primitive church in both hemispheres when they withdrew from the piresthood? Verily, verily I say unot you, none. Instead you had, persecutions, inquisitions and crusades that bought death and desolations og abominations upon all nations. It is written:
The power and authority of the lesser, or Aaronic Priesthood, is to hold the keys of the ministering of angels, and to administer in outward ordinances, the letter of the gospel, the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins, agreeable to the covenants and commandments.
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 107:20)
Remember that not all the truth can be written by man and no world can contain it in its fullness. And notwithstanding all things that are written, it has always been given to the elders of the church in all ages to conduct all meetings or the affairs of the church by the dictates or direction of the Holy Spirit. The scriptures do not lie for in them it is written.
But notwithstanding those things which are written, it always has been given to the elders of my church from the beginning, and ever shall be, to conduct all meetings as they are directed and guided by the Holy Spirit.
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 46:2)
Wherefore, I the Lord, knowing the calamity which should come upon the inhabitants of the earth, called upon my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., and spake unto him from heaven, and gave him commandments; And also gave commandments to others, that they should proclaim these things unto the world; and all this that it might be fulfilled, which was written by the prophets— The weak things of the world shall come forth and break down the mighty and strong ones, that man should not counsel his fellow man, neither trust in the arm of flesh— But that every man might speak in the name of God the Lord, even the Savior of the world; That faith also might increase in the earth; That mine everlasting covenant might be established; That the fulness of my gospel might be proclaimed by the weak and the simple unto the ends of the world, and before kings and rulers.
Behold, I am God and have spoken it; these commandments are of me, and were given unto my servants in their weakness, after the manner of their language, that they might come to understanding. And inasmuch as they erred it might be made known; And inasmuch as they sought wisdom they might be instructed; And inasmuch as they sinned they might be chastened, that they might repent; And inasmuch as they were humble they might be made strong, and blessed from on high, and receive knowledge from time to time.
The scriptures cannot be plainer. Wherefore, the priesthood can take or add as they please from the letter of the gospel to accommodate to the need of the church for th eperfecting of the saints or as the spirit makes it manifest. Did not the LORD also mentioned thru his servants that that faith is not a perfect knowledge and that we are here also to be corrected in our manner of speech or communication? Therefore, what they write in English is totally inadequate in Hebrew or in another language. But that does not diminish my faith and resolve to serve.
Have you also forgotten that Moses, the Great high Priest in those days, received the greater law by the finger of GOD; and that because of the perversion of the children of Israel in the day that he delivered them, they lost the privilege of the truth as a result of their idolatry and what not? What did Moses do with the first sacred stones which contained the priesthood and the greater and more perfect law? Did not he break them into pieces in the eyes of the multitude and gave them a carnal law of commandments instead? Did not the earht tremble that day and opneed her mout to swallow many? I myself have seen it happening.
And what happen to the early saints of the Church who forsakes to give heed to the words of the prophets, principally the first presidency to which we are bound to give heed to their words or face the peril of being cut off from the presence of the LORD who hides his face in Zion? Did not they have or you received the law of consecration by covenant as a great many of you also have received it. And did the early embers of the church and do we keep that law of consecration as we have received it. NO, instead we receive a preparatory law which is the law of sacrifice and of the gospel and of tithing. Why then ye murmur when the worlds given by the living prophets in a conference are then changed at will by those who gave them or even by the authorities of the church? If you get angry and offended by that, it is only because of your own perversion and idolatry. And the show of your countenances bears witness of your sins that you carry. And by all this you bring evil unto yourselves or your souls for the pervert and adulterous generation demands for a signs. But no sign will be given, but the sign of the propht Jonah. This is why your mighty and strong left you and departed. And you shall not see him, and know that he is that speaks to you hence forth, until you say blessed are the feet of him that comes in the name of the LORD with the angels of heaven.
The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
(Old Testament | Isaiah 3:9)
A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.
(New Testament | Matthew 16:4)
For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
(New Testament | Matthew 23:39)
Not long ago one of our sixteen stones, Liahonas or Directors, President Boyd K. Packer, the chief of the quorum of the twelve apostles of the church of Jesus Christ, was sent to give inspired instructions at a University. And he had prepared a speech for the students or for the occasion. At first he saw and said that the people were dispersed in the auditorium; and he counseled them to get closer and come together to hear what the spirit says unto the churches. Few listened to his calling counsel, but most of them were too comfortable in their lofty seats to move and did not get closer to give heed to his words. He gave them a speech, regardless, I do not even want to know what he told them, but it was not as good. I am glad I was not there, but later he said that he delivered to them a different speech than what he had indented to give them. The LORD had changed the instructions on the spot as a result of most of the audience slothfulness for forsaking to give heed to the counsel of their leader. figuratively speaking, I would remove eath and hell to have the privilege of listenning face to face tho one of our leaders. But distance did not prevent me for the great lesson he taught me from that speech. I cannot alow myself to forget what he said in the foorprits of time. But as far as those students it is concerned. He may have cursed them and given them to be taken by the chains of hell or by the devil and they may have not noticed it. Or he may have given them because of their faithlessness, and his strict adherence to GOD, the lesser portion of the word. Did not Alma and Amulek say these same things to the apostates in the city of Ammoniah that wanted to destroy the true church and the goverment and freedom of the land? As it is also written:
And now Alma began to expound these things unto him, saying: It is given unto many to know the mysteries of God; nevertheless they are laid under a strict command that they shall not impart only according to the portion of his word which he doth grant unto the children of men, according to the heed and diligence which they give unto him.
(Book of Mormon | Alma 12:9)
And therefore, he that will harden his heart, the same receiveth the lesser portion of the word; and he that will not harden his heart, to him is given the greater portion of the word, until it is given unto him to know the mysteries of God until he know them in full. And they that will harden their hearts, to them is given the lesser portion of the word until they know nothing concerning his mysteries; and then they are taken captive by the devil, and led by his will down to destruction. Now this is what is meant by the chains of hell.
(Book of Mormon | Alma 12:10 - 11)
Does no this anecdote testify as a bright sign of heaven of the perfect conduct of the chief apostle in delivering his messages. He did what he had to do. He was following pure doctrine. And when I grow up, I want to be like unto him. He did not open their eyes as Alma and Amulek did to the people of Ammonia to reprove them and take away their cloak or cover as I am now doing with you so that the judgments of GOD may descend upon you as it did with them unless you speedily repent and amend your ways. Now these are the same things or directives that made Lehi and most of his children fear and quake and tremble exceedingly before the Liahona, ball or directors he gave them to guide them to the promised land, for the LORD works not among the children of men save it be according their faith and diligence to his words. And because of their slotfulness as a colony, insted of going forward, they went backeard and merely died spulted in a watery grave. Had not it been for that shaking up, and the faith of the faithful, they would have perished. But thanks be to GOD that they reached their promised land. Had that happenned I would not be here writing any of these things today.
And it came to pass that when my father beheld the things which were written upon the ball, he did fear and tremble exceedingly, and also my brethren and the sons of Ishmael and our wives. And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld the pointers which were in the ball, that they did work according to the faith and diligence and heed which we did give unto them.
(Book of Mormon | 1 Nephi 16:27 - 28)
For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles; and I will show unto the world that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and I work not among the children of men save it be according to their faith.
(Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 27:23)
Now, I hate divisions and branching out. For argument’s sake, If I were called to be a prophet seer and revelator or endowed with all the powers that be even to take away and to give life, and know as they know, I'd rather stick with the organized programs as they were, as they are and as they are to come in the established church. For despite its perplexities we enocunter to ry our faith and obedience, for it is better to keep a fortress than to retake it. If this is God's church and it is, under condemnation or not, despite controversy and rhetoric as I hear much here and there in the sites of the apostates and dissenters, there must be perfect unity between the gospel and the church of Christ, which must be achieved and in that process some well intended radicals must fall behind. The church and the gospel is just like a marriage, it has to work out until perfection is achieved. And I see it is working wonderfully. In my house the dirty laundry is almost always washed inside rather than in a public Laundromat. For this is the standard of truth. This is the work of God and it will go forwards with or wihout us.
Therefore, if you do not like the church of Jesus Christ as directed by the elders of Zion in this world and in the spirit world, fear and tremble exceedingly, for it is easier to severe and cut off the bad weed than for it to fly again into the wilderness and to be given to another people. It is not in the program. If you want to see the church being cleaned up and set up in order, most of you can’t because if you agree with the apostates and dissenters, more than you agree with us, you are the scum or the part that was or is about to be cleaned up from the church. And your inheritance is assured with the devils, for you are to be the first ones to receive it.
It takes more than one man to set the household of God and order it to deliver this people from captivity like unto Moses; for the redemption of Zion must necessarily come by power, even with a stretched out arm. And until then, this church will go forth boldly, and honorably, bright as the sun, fair as the moon, and potent like a terrible army with standards. Therefore, as Joseph smith and the prophets have said, this is God’s work, and the truth shall go forth, persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of GOD will go, boldly and independent until it has penetrated every continent, visoted every climate, swept every country and sounded in every ear or until the purposes of GOD shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say, it is finished. For the LORD has spoken it saying in the scriptures that you already know saying:
“The Standard of Truth has been erected; no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done.”
(History of the Church 4:540)
WOE to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine! Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand. The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet: And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.
(Old Testament | Isaiah 28:1 - 4)
And it shall come to pass that I, the Lord God, will send one mighty and strong, holding the scepter of power in his hand, clothed with light for a covering, whose mouth shall utter words, eternal words; while his bowels shall be a fountain of truth, to set in order the house of God, and to arrange by lot the inheritances of the saints whose names are found, and the names of their fathers, and of their children, enrolled in the book of the law of God.
While that man, who was called of God and appointed, that putteth forth his hand to steady the ark of God, shall fall by the shaft of death, like as a tree that is smitten by the vivid shaft of lightning. And all they who are not found written in the book of remembrance shall find none inheritance in that day, but they shall be cut asunder, and their portion shall be appointed them among unbelievers, where are wailing and gnashing of teeth.
These things I say not of myself; therefore, as the Lord speaketh, he will also fulfil.
And they who are of the High Priesthood, whose names are not found written in the book of the law, or that are found to have apostatized, or to have been cut off from the church, as well as the lesser priesthood, or the members, in that day shall not find an inheritance among the saints of the Most High; Therefore, it shall be done unto them as unto the children of the priest, as will be found recorded in the second chapter and sixty–first and second verses of Ezra.
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 85:7 - 12)
Behold, I say unto you, the redemption of Zion must needs come by power; Therefore, I will raise up unto my people a man, who shall lead them like as Moses led the children of Israel.
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 103:15 - 16)
Therefore, if you are or have been dissatisfied or disillusioned with the onslaught of this great work as it rolls from the top of the mountains over the whole world, it is because you are not in harmony and your own house is not in order. You have not remained in the word of the LORD but departed from the LORD, by not building your house upon a sure foundation, which is the foundation of apostles and prophets being Jesus Christ the chief corners stone. And the LORD will not give his honor to another. Therefore regardless of how offensive it may sound, if you are not with us, you are against us. And whosoever falls upon this stone will be divided as gravel; and onto whosoever this stone falls will be grinded into powder.
Ye pollutions, who have tarnished the holy church of God, these words are for you, for the LORD has shown to me great and marvelous things of what will shortly come to pass. And I have seen your doings in the visions of the night dream. I speak to you as if you were present an yet you are not or as if I were one who speaks from the dead. Why are you afraid to take upon you the name of Christ? Instead, you say that the Mormons and the church there as if you did not or do not belong to it. I am the church and you arethe church so you are displesed or malcontent with your own selves. it is like kicking agsint the Pricks. O ye pollutions, ye hypocrites, ye teachers, who sell yourselves for that which will canker, why have ye polluted the holy church of God? Why are ye ashamed to take upon you the name of Christ? Why do ye not think that greater is the value of an endless happiness than that misery which never dies—because of the praise of the world? Is not this also written plainly in the scripture of truth concerning you?
What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
(New Testament | Luke 20:17 - 18)
And these things I humble state and declare boldly and nobly as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Days Saints in good standing; and I do it by the power and gift of GOD which is is me, even as one having authority in the sacred name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Annotatively Yours

O ye wicked and perverse and stiffnecked people, why have ye built up churches unto yourselves to get gain?
ReplyDeleteWhy have ye transfigured the holy word of God, that ye might bring damnation upon your souls? Behold, look ye unto the revelations of God; for behold, the time cometh at that day when all these things must be fulfilled.
Behold, the Lord hath shown unto me great and marvelous things concerning that which must shortly come, at that day when these things shall come forth among you.
Behold, I speak unto you as if ye were present, and yet ye are not. But behold, Jesus Christ hath shown you unto me, and I know your doing.
And I know that ye do walk in the pride of your hearts; and there are none save a few only who do not lift themselves up in the pride of their hearts, unto the wearing of very fine apparel, unto envying, and strifes, and malice, and persecutions, and all manner of iniquities; and your churches, yea, even every one, have become polluted because of the pride of your hearts.
For behold, ye do love money, and your substance, and your fine apparel, and the adorning of your churches, more than ye love the poor and the needy, the sick and the afflicted.
O ye pollutions, ye hypocrites, ye teachers, who sell yourselves for that which will canker, why have ye polluted the holy church of God? Why are ye ashamed to take upon you the name of Christ? Why do ye not think that greater is the value of an endless happiness than that misery which never dies—because of the praise of the world?
Why do ye adorn yourselves with that which hath no life, and yet suffer the hungry, and the needy, and the naked, and the sick and the afflicted to pass by you, and notice them not?
Yea, why do ye build up your secret abominations to get gain, and cause that widows should mourn before the Lord, and also orphans to mourn before the Lord, and also the blood of their fathers and their husbands to cry unto the Lord from the ground, for vengeance upon your heads?
Behold, the sword of vengeance hangeth over you; and the time soon cometh that he avengeth the blood of the saints upon you, for he will not suffer their cries any longer.
(Book of Mormon | Mormon 8:33 - 41)
And it came to pass that I looked and beheld the whore of all the earth, and she sat upon many waters; and she had dominion over all the earth, among all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people. And it came to pass that I beheld the church of the Lamb of God, and its numbers were few, because of the wickedness and abominations of the whore who sat upon many waters; nevertheless, I beheld that the church of the Lamb, who were the saints of God, were also upon all the face of the earth; and their dominions upon the face of the earth were small, because of the wickedness of the great whore whom I saw. And it came to pass that I beheld that the great mother of abominations did gather together multitudes upon the face of all the earth, among all the nations of the Gentiles, to fight against the Lamb of God.

And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld the power of the Lamb of God, that it descended upon the saints of the church of the Lamb, and upon the covenant people of the Lord, who were scattered upon all the face of the earth; and they were armed with righteousness and with the power of God in great glory.
(Book of Mormon | 1 Nephi 14:14)
And there appeared a great sign in heaven, in the likeness of things on the earth; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars. And the woman being with child, cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up unto God and his throne.

And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she had a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore years. And there was war in heaven; Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought against Michael; And the dragon prevailed not against Michael, neither the child, nor the woman which was the church of God, who had been delivered of her pains, and brought forth the kingdom of our God and his Christ.

For when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. Therefore, to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might flee into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. And the serpent casteth out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. And the earth helpeth the woman, and the earth openeth her mouth, and swalloweth up the flood which the dragon casteth out of his mouth. Therefore, the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

haha you are really talking to yourself here.
ReplyDeletethe BOM is written solely to warn against the church today and the pride of it's people in becoming stiff-necked and blind to His face.
you must repent of your idol-worship in Salt Lake and return unto Holy Places and into pursuit of a personal knowledge of your Lord and Savior.
a true witness of Christ and a sure calling and election are waiting you, but not on Sundays and not in General Conference....if they had that advice to give, they would.
they do not, they appear as deluded about their grandeur as you seem.
good luck, brother.
