excuse not myself

THE
EAST WIND OF DESTRUCTION.

‘evolving’ on the issue
This
people of this country and all the nations of the gentiles and/or of the world
that suffer these iniquities and abominations to be, should fear and tremble because
they have no idea of the sudden destruction that awaits them unless they
speedily repent and amend their ways.
The
commandments of God are not suggestions or merely good ideas; they are the
constitution of eternal life. And they are non negotiable and no amount of
democratic support for wickedness will change that fact anywhere, at any time and
in any place. For it is written that the
LORD cannot look upon sin with the least degree of allowance and that even if
the heavens and the earth shall pass away, but that the word of the LROD shall
not pass away and that it shall be fulfilled. And it is also written that if
the people sow filthiness they shall reap the EAST WIND, which brings about imminent
sudden destruction in the form of the sword, plagues, famine and pestilence
among other grievous and desolating judgments and scourges. Here is the law and the testimony:
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.
And
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 7:29 - 33)
And it shall come to pass that I will smite this my people with sore
afflictions, yea, with famine and with pestilence; and I will cause that they
shall howl all the day long. Yea, and I will cause that they shall have burdens
lashed upon their backs; and they shall be driven before like a dumb ass.
And it shall come to pass that I will send forth hail among them, and
it shall smite them; and they shall also be smitten with the east wind; and
insects shall pester their land also, and devour their grain. And they shall be
smitten with a great pestilence—and all this will I do because of their
iniquities and abominations.
And it shall come to pass that except they repent I will utterly
destroy them from off the face of the earth; yet they shall leave a record
behind them, and I will preserve them for other nations which shall possess the
land; yea, even this will I do that I may discover the abominations of this
people to other nations.
(Book
of Mormon | Mosiah 12:4 - 8)
Now
it is not common that the voice of the people desireth anything contrary to
that which is right; but it is common for the lesser part of the people to
desire that which is not right; therefore this shall ye observe and make it
your law—to do your business by the voice of the people.
And
if the time comes that the voice of the people doth choose iniquity, then is
the time that the judgments of God will come upon you; yea, then is the time he
will visit you with great destruction even as he has hitherto visited this land.
(Book
of Mormon | Mosiah 29:26 - 27)
HEARKEN, O ye people of my church, saith the voice of him who dwells on
high, and whose eyes are upon all men; yea, verily I say: Hearken ye people
from afar; and ye that are upon the islands of the sea, listen together. For
verily the voice of the Lord is unto all men, and there is none to escape; and
there is no eye that shall not see, neither ear that shall not hear, neither
heart that shall not be penetrated. And the rebellious shall be pierced with
much sorrow; for their iniquities shall be spoken upon the housetops, and their
secret acts shall be revealed.
And the voice of warning shall be unto all people, by the mouths of my
disciples, whom I have chosen in these last days. And they shall go forth and
none shall stay them, for I the Lord have commanded them.
Behold, this is mine authority, and the authority of my servants, and my
preface unto the book of my commandments, which I have given them to publish
unto you, O inhabitants of the earth.
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.
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. And after having received the
record of the Nephites, yea, even my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., might have
power to translate through the mercy of God, by the power of God, the Book of
Mormon.
And also those to whom these commandments were given, might have power to
lay the foundation of this church, and to bring it forth out of obscurity and
out of darkness, the only true and living church upon the face of the whole
earth, with which I, the Lord, am well pleased, speaking unto the church
collectively and not individually— For I the Lord cannot look upon sin with the
least degree of allowance; Nevertheless,
he that repents and does the commandments of the Lord shall be forgiven; And he
that repents not, from him shall be taken even the light which he has received;
for my Spirit shall not always strive with man, saith the Lord of Hosts.
And again, verily I say unto you, O inhabitants of the earth: I the Lord am
willing to make these things known unto all flesh; 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 1:1
- 39)
These
things I say not of myself but as the LORD has spoken he shall also fulfill. Therefore,
as one having authority, I now seal up the testimony and bind up the law among
the Lord’s disciples and I do it I the sacred name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Attentively
yours from an unworthy servant in the hands of Christ

Behold, I sent you out to testify and warn the people, and it becometh every man who hath been warned to warn his neighbor. Therefore, they are left without excuse, and their sins are upon their own heads.
ReplyDeleteHe that seeketh me early shall find me, and shall not be forsaken. Therefore, tarry ye, and labor diligently, that you may be perfected in your ministry to go forth among the Gentiles for the last time, as many as the mouth of the Lord shall name, to bind up the law and seal up the testimony, and to prepare the saints for the hour of judgment which is to come; That their souls may escape the wrath of God, the desolation of abomination which awaits the wicked, both in this world and in the world to come.
Verily, I say unto you, let those who are not the first elders continue in the vineyard until the mouth of the Lord shall call them, for their time is not yet come; their garments are not clean from the blood of this generation. Abide ye in the liberty wherewith ye are made free; entangle not yourselves in sin, but let your hands be clean, until the Lord comes.
