For the things which some men esteem to be of great worth, both to the body and soul, others set at naught and trample under their feet.







Zion and Jerusalem, January 26, 2014

For the things which some men esteem to be of great worth, both to the body and soul, others set at naught and trample under their feet.   

Yea, even the very God of Israel do men trample under their feet; I say, trample under their feet but I would speak in other words—they set him at naught, and hearken not to the voice of his counsels.

(Book of Mormon | 1 Nephi 19:7)




“Dude, stop spamming me. Your message is completely lost on people when you do that.”





And I Miguel replied; 

Hey dude, please define Spam?



“Email spam, also known as junk email or unsolicited bulk email (UBE), is a subset of electronic spam involving nearly identical messages sent to numerous recipients by email.  Clicking on links in spam email may send users to phishing web sites or sites that are hosting malware.”





For your information, I am on the LORD’s errand; Fishing and not phishing and I do not believe or think what I sent out to you by way of messages or emails is spam, much less junk.   As a matter of fact, I am sowing seeds of truth all around the world.  We preach the gospel of Jesus Christ because it is just and it is our imperative duty to GOD and to our fellow man.  Because there are many among all sects, parties and denominations that do not practice the truth only because they do not know where to find it.

It is an imperative duty that we owe to God, to angels, with whom we shall be brought to stand, and also to ourselves, to our wives and children, who have been made to bow down with grief, sorrow, and care, under the most damning hand of murder, tyranny, and oppression, supported and urged on and upheld by the influence of that spirit which hath so strongly riveted the creeds of the fathers, who have inherited lies, upon the hearts of the children, and filled the world with confusion, and has been growing stronger and stronger, and is now the very mainspring of all corruption, and the whole earth groans under the weight of its iniquity. And they are under the iron yoke, strong bands, handcuffs, chains and shackles and the fetters of hell; and we so much desire at the expense of wearing and wasting our own lives to help them be saved. We owe this duty not only to our own wives, children and extended family but to all men everywhere, specially the rising generation and the pure in heart who are blinded by the subtitle craftiness of may who snare and lie in way to deceive.  I am here because here is where and when the gospel is needed most. Make no mistake, for the mouthpiece of the LORD has spoken it saying:

It is an iron yoke, it is a strong band; they are the very handcuffs, and chains, and shackles, and fetters of hell. Therefore it is an imperative duty that we owe, not only to our own wives and children, but to the widows and fatherless, whose husbands and fathers have been murdered under its iron hand; Which dark and blackening deeds are enough to make hell itself shudder, and to stand aghast and pale, and the hands of the very devil to tremble and palsy.

And also it is an imperative duty that we owe to all the rising generation, and to all the pure in heart— For there are many yet on the earth among all sects, parties, and denominations, who are blinded by the subtle craftiness of men, whereby they lie in wait to deceive, and who are only kept from the truth because they know not where to find it— Therefore, that we should waste and wear out our lives in bringing to light all the hidden things of darkness, wherein we know them; and they are truly manifest from heaven— These should then be attended to with great earnestness.

 

Let no man count them as small things; for there is much which lieth in futurity, pertaining to the saints, which depends upon these things. You know, brethren, that a very large ship is benefited very much by a very small helm in the time of a storm, by being kept workways with the wind and the waves. Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God, and for his arm to be revealed.

(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 123:7 - 17)

 

The choice is all yours, but take it or leave it you must hear or drink from it for better or for worst because my words are binding. The reason the messages are lost, as you claim, is not because the seed is not good but because you do not have faith to hear or you have a hard or sterile heart where no good thing grows.    Others do welcome it and are edified and enlightened by them, I included.  But, you obviously have your heart set upon the things of the world, and therefore, you set the counsel of God as naught.  Or by preferring your stop motion animation mute and dumb idols as per your academic instruction rather than to give heed to the good word of GOD that is profitable for all.  But nonetheless, take it or leave it, you have the right to refuse it. Nevertheless, beware for believe it or not, I speak as one from the dead and my words are binding and the LORD has sent you a word in which he says:

 

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 9:28 - 54)



I know exhort you in all soberness to give heed to my words for they are an invitation to come unto Christ in his restored church.  And the time will speedily come that you and I are going to face GOD and each other; and there he will show you that he sent me to write these things as one that cries repentance in the wilderness. That that precious gift that activates and animates the atonement of Jesus Christ for the salvation of your soul; and that I lie not. And I declare these things for the fulfilling of the prophecies and these words are not mine but they proceed in my manner of speech and understanding from the mouth of the everlasting GOD. Therefore, remember, remember for what is write is the truth and so it is also written:


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. And God shall show unto you, that that which I have written is true.


And again I would exhort you that ye would come unto Christ, and lay hold upon every good gift, and touch not the evil gift, nor the unclean thing. And awake, and arise from the dust, O Jerusalem; yea, and put on thy beautiful garments, O daughter of Zion; and strengthen thy stakes and enlarge thy borders forever, that thou mayest no more be confounded, that the covenants of the Eternal Father which he hath made unto thee, O house of Israel, may be fulfilled.

Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God.

And again, if ye by the grace of God are perfect in Christ, and deny not his power, then are ye sanctified in Christ by the grace of God, through the shedding of the blood of Christ, which is in the covenant of the Father unto the remission of your sins, that ye become holy, without spot.

And now I bid unto all, farewell.  I soon go to rest in the paradise of God, until my spirit and body shall again reunite, and I am brought forth triumphant through the air, to meet you before the pleasing bar of the great Jehovah, the Eternal Judge of both quick and dead.  Amen.

(Book of Mormon | Moroni 10:27 - 34)

What the LORD say to one he says unto all. With these words I seal the law and the testimony among the Lord’s disciples and the time will also come that I am a messenger that has authority before GOD to do these things. And these things I say humbly and solemnly declare and testify with a single eye for the honor and glory of GOD, in the sacred name of Jesus Christ, amen.

And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?



 Making things up again Arnold.

Zion and Jerusalem, January 8, 2014

And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?

They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us.  He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.

(New Testament | Matthew 20:6 - 7)

 

Dear Ava Sophia,

Hi, I hope this letter finds you soon and well.

My name is Miguel and I live in Central Florida. I am writing to you because I read your message below about

5 owesome resources for learning Today’s skills

where you said:



“Thank you for all those great ideas. Too bad that you must have money grow on tree for you to be able to take any of those classes, I have an MBA from an Ivy L School, and no job, because who wants to pay me for the degree I got? I seem to be overqualified for every job I apply. I don't come from wealthy family, I earned my way to that school I paid for it out of my own packet and with student loans. No I have been out of work for overt two years. 90K in student loans... all the money I saved I invested in my degree, I have a fancy degree, I sleep on my mom's couch, I had to short sale my house, I can't afford to buy my own food, let along invest any more in additional education, some of the classes you suggest are thousands of $. For the first time I know what depression feels like.. I worked hard all my life, and oh well who cares..”





And to me personally it was the only message worth reading. After it, the next thing I read from you was your name and, I seldom see such beautiful names as yours.  At least you have something not to be depressed about. Having said that, I want to tell you that I care and perhaps I can do something to help you see things from another angle, redirect your life and have great joy in the process not only in this life but in the life to come.  The world has eyes but they cannot see and the light of your fine mind and education shines in darkness but darkness comprehends it not. If the world has not had the privilege to notice you, I bear witness that the GOD of heaven does. Unfortunately, if I am allowed to say without offending you, you are clogged with parasites or with dark clouds that do not allow your light to shine. 

I am at the other side of the spectrum, I have no scholar education worth noting, but I am the possessor of skills that are beyond the human capacity and that have baffled the greatest minds.  As you see me now, I barely graduated from H.S. thru GED and English is not even my first language; and I am half deaf and not long ago I became totally disabled.  When I was young, I girded myself and went wherever I wanted. Now that I am not so young, another girds me and takes me where I do not want to go. In other words, like you, I was a hard worker and exceptional providers and I suddenly became unemployed and none wanted to hire me. One day about the eleventh a friend from a distant century noticed me and others standing idle and he said to us, “Why stand ye here all the day idle? And I and others said to him, because no one wants to hire us. He immediately employed me and sent me out to do errands for him.


And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?

They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us.  He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.

(New Testament | Matthew 20:6 - 7)



And I have worked for him full time for nearly seven years.  My friend is still hiring and the Holy Ghost is available to all. And on his way, he also noticed you and sent me to fetch you and ask you if you want to work for him.  Its hard work but is worth more rewarding than any other employment in modern days. My friend owns a great university, you may have heard of it, “BYU” and has a peculiar system of secular and spiritual work to help all those who are willing to achieve their greatest potential. As a matter of fact he guided me to the site where I found you to tell you what he has said:

 


“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

(New Testament | Matthew 11:28 - 30)


Having said that, I came here in your facebook wall and I have noticed what is preventing you from achieving your goals.  And it is not your skills but your traditions and your current set of beliefs.  There is a bunch of negative energy creating a cloud over your head that some call depression. And if you do not get out of it while you can, it can become a chronic issue.  But that is ok, some of us have to hit the rock bottom before we can ascend where we belong unlike those that come from below and ascend only to fall and never rise again.  If you allow me, I can help you dissipate that dark cloud and when you are free from it, you will see clearly where the opportunities lie ahead.

I am not here by my own will, please do not think of me as a mere charlatan. I have sure credentials that I could show upon request. I was sent to fetch you and he who sent me has an interest in you. Unfortunately, few have the moral courage and moral intellect that I have to approach you and offer you an official invitation. All that is required of you is the heart and a willing mind and the rest will be provided by my employer if you give him a chance to help you. He says that if you give heed to his invitation and receive his training and direction, which is priceless but is not bough with money, you will become active again and you will have great joy in this life and in the life to come.  He assures with a guarantee that you will discover, not only your true potential but your divine identity, your precedence and the purpose of your existence.

In the introduction, this is what God said to me thru a patriarch when I was searching for some answer to redirect my own life:

 


“Beloved Brother Miguel Angel Tinoco, as a Patriarch in Israel, having been ordained by a prophet of the LORD Jesus Christ and according to your righteous desires at this time to hear from the LORD concerning your eternity, I give unto you a Patriarchal blessing from the LORD. In this blessing you will learn that the LORD GOD is mindful of you and desires to bless you with all good gifts and blessings. This blessing will contain instructions, admonitions and a declaration of you lineage. If you will live for the promises and admonitions contained in this blessing, it will become unto you a source of comfort and encouragement forever. It will help you to understand your missions and your relationship with all of god’s children.

Brother Tinoco, in the great pre mortal councils you were prominent and took active part. There our Father in heaven and the LORD Jesus Christ knew you and you were acquainted with their voices. Because of your obedience to the principles of righteousness, truth and virtue as they were taught to us by our father in heaven, you have been sent to earth in the dispensation of the fullness of times with very important missions to fulfill and which the LORD is expecting you to fulfill…”


After this, the LORD inspired the patriarch to disclose a couple of pages full of very personal information concerning me, my duties, abilities, potential and Eternity that is not proper for me to disclose in public. But in one or two of those lines in that page, the LORD spoke specifically about you or people in your current position. And he said:
 

“There are many of the Lord’s children in the world today who are running to and fro seeking a safe channel and a stable anchor. It will be your responsibility and your mission to light the way for these people.”


And in another line, which may or may not pertain to you or your current condition the LORD also says: 

 

“There are many of the Lord’s children in the world today who are physically or mentally handicapped and find a hard time getting joy out of life. It will be your responsibility to help many of these children of the LORD to find joy and to understand the gospel and have the Lord’s spirit to be with them throughout their lives-even throughout their eternities…”


 

Now Ava, I do not know which part of this blessing that I received pertains to you, but I know that you have a right to receive a blessing just like me that contains what you are seeking in life and how to obtain an perhaps things that you do not even imagine yet of your eternal possibilities.  I learned that I had an ability to write and impact people for better and for worst that no university of the world will be able to teach me. As you, I am overqualified for many jobs in the world, but in the Lord’s established kingdom, I have plenty of work to last me until he comes or until the kingdom comes to keep me busy both in the secular and in the spiritual sector. And I am pretty sure he has use for you somewhere in there and all who wish to give heed to this invitation whether they are idle or not. In my case, I do not get paid for my services for I work mainly in the spiritual sector, and my benefits are intangible in this world for the most part. And the perks are great!!! But in your case, if you receive his invitation with humility, he will find something for you to do in the secular sector or both and you will improve your opportunities to achieve your temporal and intellectual goals.

I am just here to tell you that you have one life page full of blessings missing or unwritten from your professional resume that no spiritual medium, horoscope or degree of meditation will ever give, recite or disclose to you.   As a matter of fact, it is in their best interest for these entities for you never to find how important you are to my employer or to know that he exists. You know what and of whom my employer is or of whom I am talking about, even Jesus Christ, the GOD of heavens and earth. You are a very intelligent person and I have used parables and a suggestive language to persuade you, none of which is false or ill willed.  My job is just to show you the way and it is you free will and choice to take it or leave it. The best way to know more about us is to request information from my employer by calling this number; and if you do not know what to say just read part or the whole of this letter:

Please call: 1-888-537-6600

 Or by visiting this website:

 
www.lds.org
 
And the other way is to stalk a couple of Mormon Missionaries; yes, you have seen them here and there in bicycle or walking around and knocking doors,  going about doing good and  inviting people to come unto Christ. So, when you spot them,  grab them by the neck tie and demand that they teach you their message. I suggest you be a little kind so that they are not afraid. But either way, they will be more than glad to sit with you and spit the whole soup of all the things I have been talking about in more detail. It may take a few sessions, but I assure you that if you truly want to change your circumstances and become active and productive again, one thing will lead to another and you will know that I lie not.  My friends, the missionaries, will be delighted for the privilege and opportunity to talk to you and serve you if needs be.

 

Other than that, I am very sorry for my boldness and my bizarre way of contacting you and explaining things. I lack education and manners. But, please be assured that I act humbly and by spiritual impulse by selfless love and duty to GOD and to you. It was my only intention to tell you that there are people that truly care; and now you can see all that I was prompted to write to you as if I knew you forever or as if we were college pals. Maybe we knew each other in the previous life and that is the reason for my familiarity. I also figure that you have some free time to read and that none of you friends, known or unknown as been so creative and interested in your welfare and in your eternity, much less, none had written to you so intensively to you as I.  I sincerely believe that you are one of us and you are moments away to find out. And last but not least, I never act in my own name, but these things I say and leave with you solemnly, even as one having authority in the sacred name of Jesus Christ, amen

Attentively Yours, from an unworthy servant in the hands of Christ

Can ye be angry and not sin: let not the sun go down upon your wrath







Zion and Jerusalem, January 3rd 2014


Can ye be angry and not sin: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

(JST New Testament | Ephesians 4:26)


School Thy Feelings, O My Brother –

Thomas S. Monson - October 2009 General Conference

 



“We’ve all felt anger. It can come when things don’t turn out the way we want. It might be a reaction to something which is said of us or to us. We may experience it when people don’t behave the way we want them to behave. Perhaps it comes when we have to wait for something longer than we expected. We might feel angry when others can’t see things from our perspective. There seem to be countless possible reasons for anger.

To be angry is to yield to the influence of Satan. No one can make us angry. It is our choice. If we desire to have a proper spirit with us at all times, we must choose to refrain from becoming angry. I testify that such is possible.

May we make a conscious decision, each time such a decision must be made, to refrain from anger and to leave unsaid the harsh and hurtful things we may be tempted to say.”



The world says that Anger is normal, but that Resentment is a killer. We need to understand the difference because as I live and as we speak, the anger of the LORD is kindled and his sword is bathed in heaven and it shall fall upon the inhabitants of the earth.


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.

(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 1:12 - 13)


I heard the same counsel that President Monson gave to the priesthood last Sunday from our Local Branch President also but in different words or context. We also need to threat each other with more kindness, as President Hunter also said and use softer words and so forth as the scriptures make it manifest. It is quite a challenge for me, but I am in this boat with my brethren and the LORD does not command anything for us to do without preparing the way before us.

It is desolating and sickening as a vexation to the soul hearing or reading in the news that only one third of Americans believe in GOD, especially within the rising generation. There are a lot of angry people out there and they do not need one more, especially from our ranks unless the spirit of the LORD is in us to reprove with sharpness.  It’s going to be a challenge for many of us all, but we can do it.

As per the argument with Sister Marsh and Sister Harry, not only dishonesty, but ill will or rebellion and theft can be spotted among other things. And as president Monson denominated it was all as a result of or induced to anger. I tremble in my bones when I recall the words of the Angel Moroni to Joseph Smith before the book of Mormon was delivered. He said, as I recall, that the time is not here, but it will shortly come to pass that the prophecy given to Moses of future prophets, and also in the book of The acts of the Apostles and 3 Nephi in the Book of Mormon and last but not least in the Book of Commandments or D & C in which is time and again written that all those who will nor hear the word of the LORD and do not pay attention to the words of the servants of GOD, and of the prophets and apostles will be cut off from among the people.  I believe that that time is at hand.  For of this is plainly written:


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 1:14 - 16)







Yea, thus saith the still small voice, which whispereth through and pierceth all things, and often times it maketh my bones to quake while it maketh manifest, saying: 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 85:6 - 12)



Many People claim that I am too harsh when I preach the gospel or reprove with the law and the testimony and equity in my hand.  But I only expound the scriptures, who speak is the LORD our Righteousness.  And the very same thing was said of Brigham Young in the pioneer days, that he was to sever or harsh in speech when preaching.  And I can use no wiser words than those used by President Young to say that Joseph Smith was not half as harsh as the LORD and that he Brigham Young “was not half the man Joseph Smith was in severity.  And I concur with him my brethren, because not many days ago, as a matter of fact, in the drams of the night vision, Joseph Smith came to my home in disguise as my best friend whose name Jose, and I rushed to give him my hand to salute him, but he refused. And before I got closer to him to shake his hand, I asked him, Jose, perdona mis ofensas, or Joseph forgive me my trespasses;  and he could not refuse to give me his hand to which he did gladly. And when I saw him, I saw him very, very tall, inasmuch that I was not half the man that he was. And now I say it to you all and I lie not.



For, verily I say that the rebellious are not of the blood of Ephraim, wherefore they shall be plucked out. Behold, I, the Lord, have made my church in these last days like unto a judge sitting on a hill, or in a high place, to judge the nations. For it shall come to pass that the inhabitants of Zion shall judge all things pertaining to Zion. And liars and hypocrites shall be proved by them, and they who are not apostles and prophets shall be known.

And even the bishop, who is a judge, and his counselors, if they are not faithful in their stewardships shall be condemned, and others shall be planted in their stead.

For, behold, I say unto you that Zion shall flourish, and the glory of the Lord shall be upon her; And she shall be an ensign unto the people, and there shall come unto her out of every nation under heaven. And the day shall come when the nations of the earth shall tremble because of her, and shall fear because of her terrible ones.  The Lord hath spoken it.  Amen.

(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 64:36 - 43)



Wherefore, seeing that I, the Lord, have decreed all these things upon the face of the earth, I will that my saints should be assembled upon the land of Zion; And that every man should take righteousness in his hands and faithfulness upon his loins, and lift a warning voice unto the inhabitants of the earth; and declare both by word and by flight that desolation shall come upon the wicked.

(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 63:36 - 37)




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.

(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 1:7 - 10)




For I am no respecter of persons, and will that all men shall know that the day speedily cometh; the hour is not yet, but is nigh at hand, when peace shall be taken from the earth, and the devil shall have power over his own dominion. And also the Lord shall have power over his saints, and shall reign in their midst, and shall come down in judgment upon Idumea, or the world.

Search these commandments, for they are true and faithful, and the prophecies and promises which are in them shall all be fulfilled.

What I the Lord have spoken, I have spoken, and I excuse not myself; and though the heavens and the earth pass away, my word shall not pass away, but shall all be fulfilled, whether by mine own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same.

For behold, and lo, the Lord is God, and the Spirit beareth record, and the record is true, and the truth abideth forever and ever.  Amen.

(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 1:35 - 39)

These things I leave with you humbly and meekly, having I need to learn from them myself for I am full of infirmity. And I do so, with the knowledge that I currently have to the best of my ability and with the only desire to serve GOD with a single eye for his honor and glory in the sacred name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Attentively Yours from an worthy servant in the hands of Christ
