Wherefore, I must tell you the truth according to the plainness of the word of God.

Zion and Jerusalem, February 13, 2013

Wherefore, I must tell you the truth according to the plainness of the word of God. 

For behold, as I inquired of the Lord, thus came the word unto me, saying: Jacob, get thou up into the temple on the morrow, and declare the word which I shall give thee unto this people.

(Book of Mormon | Jacob 2:11)

Now my beloved brethren in Christ, as Jacob of old, the Priest and brother of Nephi, I, Miguel come before you this day with a very critical message from the LORD. And I am ashamed before my God who knows and sees everything and who searches every heart and thought, to have to talk to you with boldness as Jacob did concerning your pride, your vain celebrations, your abominable traditions and your crimes, your sins, your iniquities and your abominations. And I pray that you would listen and consider awfulness of transgressing the commandment of God and not let the pride of your hearts destroy your souls. And to influence you to stop wandering to and fro and to chose the right channel and sure anchor of our soul, which is Jesus Christ.  I am sent and also to warn you of imminent perils or dangers if you don’t chose the right.

O that ye would listen unto the word of his commands, and let not this pride of your hearts destroy your souls!

(Book of Mormon | Jacob 2:16)

I, Miguel Angel Tinoco,  am truly reluctant to write to you today because I feel unworthy, but the spirit has not altogether withdrawn from me. And I woke up with the determination to serve God and you. And as a Elder, a Priest and a Teacher in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I must be obedient to magnify my calling and the offices in the priesthood with strength and honor; and with more moral courage and more moral intellect than any moral authority of my part, for I have no Moral authority to boast of. FOR I myself am filled with infirmities and all flesh, except Christ, has fallen short of the Glory of GOD. And he is the only one that I know of that has true moral authority. And I must do this before the church and before the whole world so that those General authorities of the church, that are more worthy than I am on this day, can take over my sword and deliver the judgment thereof to those who spread wickedness and abomination in the church so that it does not enter into apostasy.  I have seen them taking my sword in anger even in the visions of the night dream.

And what grieves me the most is to have to pierce many souls with the sharp sword of truth, especially those who are pure in heart and who have come here to hear or read these words hoping to obtain the healing and pleasing word of GOD. But instead they find sharp and pointing daggers that cut asunder bone, sinew and marrow and penetrate deeply into their minds and into their tender hearts. And this I must do under the responsibility I have before my GOD to magnify my calling and rid my garments of the blood and sins of this wicked and perverse generation for they are as we speak stained. And thus far you and I know that I have been diligent in my endeavors all this time; for I have preached repentance unto you for a few or several years rising early in the morning and all they long until it is very late at night. And I have performed this holy duty guided by the Holy Ghost or as one having authority unceasingly for I am truly anxious and worried for the welfare of your souls. And, it torments or tortures my very soul and pains my shoulders as a burden just to think that any soul may be lost forever if they are not given the restored gospel or the bread of life and salvation peradventure they perish. Wherefore it burdens my soul or shoulders to be constrained to talk to you about your crimes, to enlarge the wounds of those who are already wounded instead of comforting them and healing their wounds. And to those who have not been wounded, instead of feeding them with the pleasing word of GOD so they can feast, to thrust sharp daggers to pierce their hearts and hurt their delicate minds.

And I would like to start my errand this day, of which you had a preview yesterday, quoting something that I read and which was posted in my facebook feed or wall.  

Somebody who handles the site Mormon.org  in facebook Posted this:

"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it" (The Holy Bible, Ephesians 5:25).

As Valentine's Day approaches, it is safe to say this advice applies in the reverse as well. Everyone longs to be loved and appreciated. Today, show someone you care.

 

And I, Miguel Angel Tinoco Replied to him or to her; and to all those who were present and also to all those general authorities of the church who may be concerned. And this is what I said:

"NO IT IS NOT SAFE....This is truly a time for prayer and of fasting and to call a solemn assembly to warn the people, for it is a perilous time for our youth and those that are not so young, for it is a time of wickedness and abominations where lots of people, especially the youth and the rising generation in all nations, lands, kindred, tongues and peoples inside or outside the gate of the kingdom break the word of wisdom and several of the commandments, more particularly the law of chastity because of these wicked and perverse traditions that you celebrate. Whosoever posted this in reference to Satan Levitan's day is walking in darkness at noon time. And he or she needs to repent. Have you not read the scripture that say that the light and truth of these people is taken away and enter into apostasy by disobedience to the commandments and the traditions of this world or of your fathers? ....THIS IS IDOLATRY. How can you then associate the scriptures and the message of Christ’s love with the pornography and abomination and its paraphernalia of carnal, sensual and devilish celebrations that take place during these days? For it is written:

Every spirit of man was innocent in the beginning; and God having redeemed man from the fall, men became again, in their infant state, innocent before God. And that wicked one cometh and taketh away light and truth, through disobedience, from the children of men, and because of the tradition of their fathers. But I have commanded you to bring up your children in light and truth.

(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 93:38 - 40)

Wo unto the wicked, for they shall perish; for the reward of their hands shall be upon them! And my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them.  O my people, they who lead thee cause thee to err and destroy the way of thy paths. The Lord standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.

(Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 13:11 - 13)

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.

(Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 9:47 - 51)

Because if we are not building Zion, we are supporting Babylon"

 

Letting Go of the World: It is Time to “Sell the Summer Cottage in Babylon”

http://ce.byu.edu/cw/womensconference/archive/2009/pdf/Letting_Go_of_the_World.pdf

Now, my beloved brethren, what I have thus far written is the truth or the knowledge of things as they are, as they were and now I will write to you of the things as they are to come.  

You and I know that sooner rather than later, Babylon the Great and all the kings and merchants of the earth are the grand promoters of these vain traditions and celebrations of which I have been speaking or writing.  And with all their merchandizing which multiplies wickedness and abomination, hell has enlarged itself to swallow Babylon with all her children.  She is about to fall hard and to be utterly destroyed or consumed with scorching fire.  And all the kings of the earth that have fornicated with Babylon and the merchants that have gotten rich thru her shall bewail her and lament her falling and utter destruction. And the LORD has also said in these latter days, that any of us that remain in Babylon will not be spared. So I am here to warn you diligently and to tell you that we, especially the latter day saints, need to let go of the world and sell whatever tent or cottage we have, had or are contemplating to have and to cherish in Babylon. For it is written that we are in the eleventh hour before the day of coming of the coming of our LORD and that the great burning is coming according to the language of the LORD. And that this day is called today until tomorrow or the day of his coming. For the lord has spoken it saying:

Behold, now it is called today until the coming of the Son of Man, and verily it is a day of sacrifice, and a day for the tithing of my people; for he that is tithed shall not be burned at his coming. For after today cometh the burning—this is speaking after the manner of the Lord—for verily I say, tomorrow all the proud and they that do wickedly shall be as stubble; and I will burn them up, for I am the Lord of Hosts; and I will not spare any that remain in Babylon.

(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 64:23 - 24)

And the LORD abhorrers all of our worldly feasts from the beginning to the end of the year, even our holy assemblies he hates as he did anciently, because of the great wickedness and abominations that result from them. When we rise and spread our hands high above our head in the holy place to pray, thinking ignorantly that we do it with clean hands, he does not even want to look our palms and hear our words for they are full of blood, because most of you go right up to the holy assembly without washing and sanctifying yourselves. And y so doing many are polluting the Lord’s house. And for this reason I went to the temple last week, to renew my temple covenants, to wash and to sanctify myself and to receive further instructions; and these words that I write was the burned that was placed in my shoulders. And I was given specific instructions at the door of the tabernacle to be able to wheel the sword of justice in defense of truth and virtue, even as Jacob of old. When the LORD said unto him to go to the temple and speak the word that he would receive there to then talk to the people. Here is the law and the testimonies that confirm all my words, for the LORD has spoken saying:

And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day: And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.  In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst. They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.

(Old Testament | Amos 8:9 - 14)

I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.

(Old Testament | Amos 5:21)

 

And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

(Old Testament | Isaiah 1:15)

Now, my beloved brethren, I, Jacob, according to the responsibility which I am under to God, to magnify mine office with soberness, and that I might rid my garments of your sins, I come up into the temple this day that I might declare unto you the word of God. And ye yourselves know that I have hitherto been diligent in the office of my calling; but I this day am weighed down with much more desire and anxiety for the welfare of your souls than I have hitherto been.

For behold, as yet, ye have been obedient unto the word of the Lord, which I have given unto you. But behold, hearken ye unto me, and know that by the help of the all–powerful Creator of heaven and earth I can tell you concerning your thoughts, how that ye are beginning to labor in sin, which sin appeareth very abominable unto me, yea, and abominable unto God. Yea, it grieveth my soul and causeth me to shrink with shame before the presence of my Maker, that I must testify unto you concerning the wickedness of your hearts. And also it grieveth me that I must use so much boldness of speech concerning you, before your wives and your children, many of whose feelings are exceedingly tender and chaste and delicate before God, which thing is pleasing unto God; And it supposeth me that they have come up hither to hear the pleasing word of God, yea, the word which healeth the wounded soul. Wherefore, it burdeneth my soul that I should be constrained, because of the strict commandment which I have received from God, to admonish you according to your crimes, to enlarge the wounds of those who are already wounded, instead of consoling and healing their wounds; and those who have not been wounded, instead of feasting upon the pleasing word of God have daggers placed to pierce their souls and wound their delicate minds.

But, notwithstanding the greatness of the task, I must do according to the strict commands of God, and tell you concerning your wickedness and abominations, in the presence of the pure in heart, and the broken heart, and under the glance of the piercing eye of the Almighty God. Wherefore, I must tell you the truth according to the plainness of the word of God.  For behold, as I inquired of the Lord, thus came the word unto me, saying: Jacob, get thou up into the temple on the morrow, and declare the word which I shall give thee unto this people.

And now behold, my brethren, this is the word which I declare unto you, that many of you have begun to search for gold, and for silver, and for all manner of precious ores, in the which this land, which is a land of promise unto you and to your seed, doth abound most plentifully. And the hand of providence hath smiled upon you most pleasingly, that you have obtained many riches; and because some of you have obtained more abundantly than that of your brethren ye are lifted up in the pride of your hearts, and wear stiff necks and high heads because of the costliness of your apparel, and persecute your brethren because ye suppose that ye are better than they. And now, my brethren, do ye suppose that God justifieth you in this thing?  Behold, I say unto you, Nay.  But he condemneth you, and if ye persist in these things his judgments must speedily come unto you. O that he would show you that he can pierce you, and with one glance of his eye he can smite you to the dust.  O that he would rid you from this iniquity and abomination.  And, O that ye would listen unto the word of his commands, and let not this pride of your hearts destroy your souls!

(Book of Mormon | Jacob 2:2 - 16)

And now, my brethren, I have spoken unto you concerning pride; and those of you which have afflicted your neighbor, and persecuted him because ye were proud in your hearts, of the things which God hath given you, what say ye of it? Do ye not suppose that such things are abominable unto him who created all flesh?  And the one being is as precious in his sight as the other.  And all flesh is of the dust; and for the selfsame end hath he created them, that they should keep his commandments and glorify him forever. And now I make an end of speaking unto you concerning this pride.  And were it not that I must speak unto you concerning a grosser crime, my heart would rejoice exceedingly because of you. But the word of God burdens me because of your grosser crimes.

(Book of Mormon | Jacob 2:20 - 23)

There is a lot of idolatry among us that we need to extirpate and eradicate and repent of it before it is too late and we are given or delivered to partake of the plagues that are going to come upon the world. This is why yesterday I sent you the following article, because it is time for all and each of us to let go of the world and sell any cottage that we may have in Babylon.

A Christmas Cottage in Babylon

I am selling: A Christmas Cottage in Babylon…The Cheapest in the market…IT IS FREE. It is furnished and full or merchandise. If you do not buy it here, you are paying too much. And if no body wants to buy it, it will be hewn down and burned with all her delights as fuel to fire.

A Christmas Cottage in Babylon

http://www.mormonchronicle.com/a-christmas-cottage-in-babylon/

AND after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city!  for in one hour is thy judgment come. And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:  The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.

The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! For in one hour so great riches is come to nought.  And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness!  for in one hour is she made desolate.

Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

Now my beloved brethren, this is my errand. I have given you much knowledge and information to ponder about for one day. I hope I have served you well. It takes much more effort to write or to arrange this work than to read it. If you follow the truth and love righteousness as I do, you will do all what it takes to stop all light mindedness, laud laughter and every unholy and unclean or impure practice in your lives that emanate from disobedience of the commandments and the vain traditions of our fathers or of this world. As the prophet has said formerly; and I have heard him saying it, there is much room for improvement, but the heavy lifting has already been done. SO as he also said lately when he saw in conference that not every seat was filled, there is still room for improvement.

And concerning the celebrations of the world, including but not limited to Valentines, Day, Easter, Halloween, Christmas, Birthdays, Sweet Fifteen or Sixteen’s, Anniversaries,  and so forth that does not comfort to the truth of the everlasting gospel, If you are in doubt, leave it out. In other words, brethren and sisters, I this is the stick I use when conducting or celebrating any feast or celebration. I ask myself these two questions. Pending I earn exaltation and I become an Eternal Holy Being thru obedience and perseverance to he end: Would I be in danger of braking a Holy Commandment if I practice any of these things? And Would I still practice these things in heaven or after the resurrection? And if the answer is no, then I cut it off and try as much as I can to replace it with more meaningful celebrations until I have nothing to do with Babylon and the Devil has nothing against me. For I, even I, as Christ once said I also say for I have also seen it. I have seen the Satan, the Dragon, fall as lighting from heaven And now shall the prince of this world be cast our. Hereafter I will not talk much to you, for the prince of this world comes, and he has nothing on me.

And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

(New Testament | Luke 10:18)

Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

(New Testament | John 12:31)

Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

(New Testament | John 14:30)

And now I submit myself to God for Jesus Christ is my master, these things I say humbly, diligently and soberly with a single eye for the honor and glory of GOD to who belongs all the honor, glory and riches and power, for he is a God of gods, a King of Kings and a Lord of Lords.  And I do this as one having authority in the sacred name of Jesus Christ,  amen.

Attentively yours

From an unworthy servant in the hands of Christ.

Miguel Angel Tinoco Rodriguez

And it came to pass that there was a man among them whose name was Abinadi; and he went forth among them, and began to prophesy, saying:

Behold, thus saith the Lord, and thus hath he commanded me, saying, Go forth, and say unto this people, thus saith the Lord— Wo be unto this people, for I have seen their abominations, and their wickedness, and their whoredoms; and except they repent I will visit them in mine anger. And except they repent and turn to the Lord their God, behold, I will deliver them into the hands of their enemies; yea, and they shall be brought into bondage; and they shall be afflicted by the hand of their enemies. And it shall come to pass that they shall know that I am the Lord their God, and am a jealous God, visiting the iniquities of my people.

And it shall come to pass that except this people repent and turn unto the Lord their God, they shall be brought into bondage; and none shall deliver them, except it be the Lord the Almighty God. Yea, and it shall come to pass that when they shall cry unto me I will be slow to hear their cries; yea, and I will suffer them that they be smitten by their enemies. And except they repent in sackcloth and ashes, and cry mightily to the Lord their God, I will not hear their prayers, neither will I deliver them out of their afflictions; and thus saith the Lord, and thus hath he commanded me.

Now it came to pass that when Abinadi had spoken these words unto them they were wroth with him, and sought to take away his life; but the Lord delivered him out of their hands.

Now when king Noah had heard of the words which Abinadi had spoken unto the people, he was also wroth; and he said: Who is Abinadi, that I and my people should be judged of him, or who is the Lord, that shall bring upon my people such great affliction?  I command you to bring Abinadi hither, that I may slay him, for he has said these things that he might stir up my people to anger one with another, and to raise contentions among my people; therefore I will slay him.

Now the eyes of the people were blinded; therefore they hardened their hearts against the words of Abinadi, and they sought from that time forward to take him.  And king Noah hardened his heart against the word of the Lord, and he did not repent of his evil doings.

(Book of Mormon | Mosiah 11:20 - 29)

And now, is not this grievous to be borne?  And is not this, our affliction, great?  Now behold, how great reason we have to mourn. Yea, I say unto you, great are the reasons which we have to mourn; for behold how many of our brethren have been slain, and their blood has been spilt in vain, and all because of iniquity.

For if this people had not fallen into transgression the Lord would not have suffered that this great evil should come upon them.  But behold, they would not hearken unto his words; but there arose contentions among them, even so much that they did shed blood among themselves. And a prophet of the Lord have they slain; yea, a chosen man of God, who told them of their wickedness and abominations, and prophesied of many things which are to come, yea, even the coming of Christ.

And because he said unto them that Christ was the God, the Father of all things, and said that he should take upon him the image of man, and it should be the image after which man was created in the beginning; or in other words, he said that man was created after the image of God, and that God should come down among the children of men, and take upon him flesh and blood, and go forth upon the face of the earth— And now, because he said this, they did put him to death; and many more things did they do which brought down the wrath of God upon them.  Therefore, who wondereth that they are in bondage, and that they are smitten with sore afflictions?

For behold, the Lord hath said: I will not succor my people in the day of their transgression; but I will hedge up their ways that they prosper not; and their doings shall be as a stumbling block before them. nd again, he saith: If my people shall sow filthiness they shall reap the chaff thereof in the whirlwind; and the effect thereof is poison. And again he saith: If my people shall sow filthiness they shall reap the east wind, which bringeth immediate destruction. And now, behold, the promise of the Lord is fulfilled, and ye are smitten and afflicted. But if ye will turn to the Lord with full purpose of heart, and put your trust in him, and serve him with all diligence of mind, if ye do this, he will, according to his own will and pleasure, deliver you out of bondage.

(Book of Mormon | Mosiah 7:23 - 33)

Wherefore, fear and tremble, O ye people, for what I the Lord have decreed in them shall be fulfilled. And verily I say unto you, that they who go forth, bearing these tidings unto the inhabitants of the earth, to them is power given to seal both on earth and in heaven, the unbelieving and rebellious; Yea, verily, to seal them up unto the day when the wrath of God shall be poured out upon the wicked without measure— Unto the day when the Lord shall come to recompense unto every man according to his work, and measure to every man according to the measure which he has measured to his fellow man.

Wherefore the voice of the Lord is unto the ends of the earth, that all that will hear may hear: Prepare ye, prepare ye for that which is to come, for the Lord is nigh;  And the anger of the Lord is kindled, and his sword is bathed in heaven, and it shall fall upon the inhabitants of the earth. And the arm of the Lord shall be revealed; and the day cometh that they who will not hear the voice of the Lord, neither the voice of his servants, neither give heed to the words of the prophets and apostles, shall be cut off from among the people; For they have strayed from mine ordinances, and have broken mine everlasting covenant; They seek not the Lord to establish his righteousness, but every man walketh in his own way, and after the image of his own god, whose image is in the likeness of the world, and whose substance is that of an idol, which waxeth old and shall perish in Babylon, even Babylon the great, which shall fall.

(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 1:7 - 16)
