Things of the last days worth considering. The time of Zion at last is near. Some posts were transferred along with their dates originally posted there, from old blog site: restoredtruths.blogspot.com
First, search the words of Isaiah about the last times of the last days, for they are great (also stated Nephi):
“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!” (Isa. 28:1)
“But they also have erred through wine, and ...through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment. For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.” Isaiah 28:7-8
“They are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink. For the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of a deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.” (Isa. 29:9-10)
“And I will tread down the people in my anger, and I will make them drunk in my fury....” (Isa. 63:6
“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.” (Isa. 28:2)
“The words of Isaiah are not plain unto you, neverthelessthey are plain unto all those that are filled with the spirit of prophecy.” (2 Nephi 25:4) True statement.
“In the days that the prophecies of Isaiah shall be fulfilled, men shall know of a surety, at the times when they shall come to pass.” (2 Nephi 25:7) Men do know now. They times coming to pass.
2Nephi:
4 For the Lord God hath said that: Inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments ye shall prosper in the land; and inasmuch as ye will not keep my commandments ye shall be cut off from my presence.
34 O Lord, I have trusted in thee, and I will trust in thee forever. I will not put my trust in the arm of flesh; for I know that cursed is he that putteth his trust in the arm of flesh. Yea, cursed is he that putteth his trust in man or maketh flesh his arm.
35 Yea, I know that God will give liberally to him that asketh. Yea, my God will give me, if I asknot amiss; therefore I will lift up my voice unto thee; yea, I will cry unto thee, my God, the rock of my righteousness
3 Nephi 16
10 And thus commandeth the Father that I should say unto you: At that day when the Gentiles shall sin against my gospel, and shall reject the fulness of my gospel, and shall be lifted up in the pride of their hearts above all nations, and above all the people of the whole earth, and shall be filled with all manner of lyings, and of deceits, and of mischiefs, and all manner of hypocrisy, and murders, and priestcrafts, and whoredoms, and of secret abominations; and if they shall do all those things, and shall reject the fulness of my gospel, behold, saith the Father, I will bring the fulness of my gospel from among them.
11 And then will I remember my covenant which I have made unto my people, O house of Israel, and I will bring my gospel unto them.
12 And I will show unto thee, O house of Israel, that the Gentiles shall not have power over you; but I will remember my covenant unto you, O house of Israel, and ye shall come unto the knowledge of the fulness of my gospel.
13 But if the Gentiles will repent and return unto me, saith the Father, behold they shall be numbered among my people, O house of Israel.
14 And I will not suffer my people, who are of the house of Israel, to go through among them, and tread them down, saith the Father.
15 But if they will not turn unto me, and hearken unto my voice, I will suffer them, yea, I will suffer my people, O house of Israel, that they shall go through among them, and shall tread them down, and they shall be as salt that hath lost its savor, which is thenceforth good for nothing but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of my people, O house of Israel.
16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, thus hath the Father commanded me—that I should give unto this people this land for their inheritance. (seed of the Nephites, thru the remnant of Lamanites = North American Indian Remnants)
2 Nephi 28:32
"Wo be unto the Gentiles, saith the Lord God of Hosts! For notwithstanding I shall lengthen out mine arm unto them from day to day, they will deny me; nevertheless, I will be merciful unto them, saith the Lord God, if they will repent and come unto me; for mine arm is lengthened out all the day long, saith the Lord God of Hosts."
--The LDS gentile church is the only people who had the chance to deny Him and the fullness of the gospel in the last days. If they will repent... how??? By coming unto Him. In word and very deed. Part of the fullness lost to them.
Mormon 8
Yea, it shall come in a day whenthe power of God shall be denied, and churches become defiled and be lifted up in the pride of their hearts; yea, even in a day when leaders of churches and teachers shall rise in the pride of their hearts, even to the envying of them who belong to their churches. ...
33 O ye wicked and perverse and stiffnecked people, why have ye built up churches unto yourselves to get gain? Why 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.
34 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.
35 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.
36 And I know that YOU 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.
37 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.
38 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?
39 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?
40 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?
41 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.
YOU= THE PRIDEFUL SLEEPING CHURCH OF OUR DAY.
A church that builds up Babylon, or things of this world, with their 56 billion dollar investment fund, is likely investing in the very businesses that will be responsible for the great wicked destroying the wicked tribulation which is about to come.
A church that would rather rob the poor, by investing in the volatile stock markets, and make their chapels nicer, while bishops are told not to help families more than 21 days. Or only help with rent for one month and that's it. Causing the meek and humble, widow's and orphans, The poor among you, to weep because of you. Your people see your hypocrisy. They see members among you have to go and build separate websites and foundations to help feed the poor children of members in other countries.
Your very fine apparel is your finest business attire that you also wear on Sundays. Can't you see the error in that? Really?
You don't Read the Revelations in the Book of Mormon or doctrine and covenants. Or in the Bible. If you do I guess you don't understand them. About the last days. You transfigure the true points of Christ's doctrines, and teach the people that it is the work of the devil! Those chief among you, preach that, while preaching against And even casting out from among you the very wheat that God is pulling out of this corrupt vineyard full of tares!
Go back to Vs 31:
there shall be murders, and robbing, and lying, and deceivings, and whoredoms, and all manner of abominations;
= All of these things this corrupt vineyard is guilty of. Any real intentful research into our church's history will reveal it unto you.
We must Wake up out of deep sleep and come out from under condemnation.
You ignoring the truth, and failing to do what other wheat among you are doing in this corrupt vineyard, is no excuse. You only need to be ready to digest and accept and then do.
Especially when you have wheat pointing it out to you. Cognitive dissonance, or trying to pretend it's just not happening, isn't going to cut it from here.
D&C 112
Behold,vengeance cometh speedilyupon the inhabitants of the earth, a day of wrath, a day of burning, a day of desolation, of weeping, of mourning, and of lamentation; and as a whirlwind it shall come upon all the face of the earth, saith the Lord.
25 And upon my house shall it begin, and from my house shall it go forth, saith the Lord;
26 First among those among you, saith the Lord, who have professed to know my name and have not known me, and have blasphemed against me in the midst of my house, saith the Lord.
The Lord is talking about the desolations and tribulations at the last day right before Zion is built up. Zion and the fullness failed in the early days of the church. It (and Zion for the 2nd Coming) will come forth in our day. The wheat's children will preserve and maintain it.
It comes upon his last house, after a spiritual cleansing using true church history and these very scriptural prophesies about our group failure, The gathering of wheat out of it, and the following tribulation. The destruction that falls on this nation, it occurs upon our nation because of the evil elite who secretly combine with politicians world wide, but it also falls upon the apostate out of order LDS organization at large, because of the rejection of the repentance preached by the servants that have awoken among them. The wheat preached to them. They rejected them. Leaders and members still do reject many of the wheat still within the church.
The Book of Mormon is a record preaching against the failed Covenant people in the last days, who first obtained it and quickly lost it, and then in their pride, thinking they have enough, reject and persecute those in the last times, now, who begin to get it again among them.
Not only do great man made tribulations fall upon the nation and the LDS because they lack divine protection as a real Covenant people, but later... because of failure of the Holy church that polluted itself, Polluted its inheritance, lost it's covenant status early on and pretended they have all they need, and then cast out the righteous from among them who began to have the light... the Lord allows His natural disaster tribulations to fall upon them first. His "sword of vengence".
Not only are wars and destruction going to take place, where the wicked(other nations that hypocritically seek to clean the gentile errors among them) kill the wicked nations, and neighbors are fighting neighbors (great civil wars occur because of the filthy secret combinations between the rich elitist banksters and AI corporations, causing nations and politicians to err and combine with them)... but the Lord is going to preach his natural disaster sermons to the entire world, to put an end to it all. Only His true covenant people will find divine protection in those days. In the real Zion location.
The same physical destruction came on the Nephites by similar secret political combinations mind you, who had the light come among them, I built their churches and became prideful, and then completely lost it. It is a record warning you. Every story, every parable, the history put in it, all for your observance, is there for you to avoid doing what they did. And you fail to see and hear. So the Lord can say later, that He did do so much to prevent you from doing what you did. When the tribulations man-made and then the Lords in fact occur.
Read all of Jacob 3: An excerpt:
notwithstanding all the care which we have taken of my vineyard, the trees thereof have become corrupted, that they bring forth no good fruit. And these I had hoped to preserve, to have laid up fruit thereof against the season unto mine own self. But behold, they have become like unto the wild olive tree, and they are of no worth but to be hewn down and cast into the fire; and it grieveth me that I should lose them. 47 But what could I have done more in my vineyard? Have I slackened mine hand, that I have not nourished it? Nay, I have nourished it, and I have digged about it, and I have pruned it, and I have dunged it, and I have stretched forth mine hand almost all the day long, and the end draweth nigh. And it grieveth me that I should hew down all the trees of my vineyard and cast them into the fire that they should be burned. Who is it that has corrupted my vineyard?
48 And it came to pass that the servant said unto his master, Is it not the loftiness of thy vineyard? Hath not the branches thereof overcome the roots which are good? And because the branches have overcome the roots thereof — behold, they grew faster than the strength of the roots, taking strength unto themselves — behold, I say, is not this the cause that the trees of thy vineyard have become corrupted?
Now go read Nephi's vision of the tree of Life.
Ne 8:
And it came to pass that I saw a man (a religious priest), and he was dressed in a white robe; and he came and stood before me.
6 And it came to pass that he spake unto me, and bade me follow him.
7 And it came to pass that as I followed him I beheld myself that I was in a dark and dreary waste.
Who do you think that man is dressed in a white robe?
Aren't there many who dress themselves in claimed robes of the priesthood, and bid you to follow them?
Many teach the commandments of men as doctrines...
What does Nephi teach you to do?
30 he saw other multitudes pressing forward; and they came and caught hold of the end of the rod of iron; and they did press their way forward, continually holding fast to the rod of iron, until they came forth and fell down and partook of the fruit of the tree.
31 And he also saw other multitudes feeling their way towards that great and spacious building.
32 And it came to pass that many were drowned (a type of choking) in the depths of the fountain; and many were lost from his view, wandering in strange roads.
33 And great was the multitude that did enter into that strange building. And after they did enter into that building they did point the finger of scorn at me and those that were partaking of the fruit also; but we heeded them not.
The wheat/elect see and know the truth. They get back to seeking the Face of God, part of the fullness of the Gospel. A light that was lost in the early days of the church.
Joseph Smith was told not to translate the sealed portion of the BOM, because of lack of righteousness. Well, what accounts for "Righteousness"? But they will come forth later. in a greater time of righteousness...
2N 27:
And behold the book shall be sealed; and in the book shall be a revelation from God, from the beginning of the world to the ending thereof.
8 Wherefore, because of the things which are sealed up, the things which are sealed shall not be delivered in the day of the wickedness and abominations of the people. Wherefore the book shall be kept from them. (the sealed portions are not given to the LDS because the Lord KNEW THE LDS WOULD REJECT THE FULLNESS, the new light that came among them... in their days of wickedness and failure.)
21 Touch not the things which are sealed, for I will bring them forth in mine own due time; for I will show unto the children of men that I am able to do mine own work.
The wheat can partially learn the things that were sealed, even before sealed portions are delivered, as there was enough given to the LDS to see and hear or conclude it. The sealed portions held back from the LDS do in part, likely contain the greater things that BoM prophets stated they were restrained from describing in further detail. But they gave us enough hints. Joseph Smith writings also can help in the conclusion. It is every where!
22 Wherefore, when thou hast read the words which I have commanded thee, and obtained the witnesses which I have promised unto thee, then shalt thou seal up the book again, and hide it up unto me, that I may preserve the words which thou hast not read, until I shall see fit in mine own wisdom to reveal all things unto the children of men.
23 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 Iwork not among the children of men save it be according to their faith.
(Those with faith, are the wheat, the God-face-truth-seekers who believe in the D&C promise that they shall see my face and know that I am)
24 And again it shall come to pass that the Lord shall say unto him that shall read the words that shall be delivered him:
(Joseph would later learn that the Lord was intending the given portions for the soon to be condemned church:)
25 Forasmuch as this people draw near unto me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their hearts far from me, and their fear towards me is taught by the precepts of men—
- the early LDS who would reject the light, the fullness coming forth, so that at a later time:
26 Therefore, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this (notice the use of this word in vs 25 and here) people, yea, a marvelous work and a wonder, for the wisdom of their wise and learned shall perish (the sleeping apostles and their historians), and the understanding of their prudent shall be hid.
27 And wo unto them (same lds leaders) 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? And they also say: Surely, your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay. But behold, I will show unto them, saith the Lord of Hosts, that I know all their works. 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?
(them, their, = sleeping apostles and church who accuse the wheat of turning things upside down, when in fact the leaders have done that while the wheat are bringing back the fullness of the gospel. -See 2015 Boise mission rescue talk by Elder Oaks.)
28 But behold, saith the Lord of Hosts: I will show unto the children of men that it is yet a very little while and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field; and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest.
(Real fruit comes forth again. The fullness.)
29 Andin 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 wheat begin to see what scriptures are clearly trying to point out... Showing the fullness that has been lost, and understanding the prophecies of the last days church failure, who are largely deaf and blind to it all)
30 And the meek also shall increase, and their joy shall be in the Lord,
(not an apostate institution which casts them out, but the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. They get the fullness back with the Lord's actual assistance this time and redeem Zion at last)
31 For assuredly as the Lord liveth they shall see that the terrible one is brought to naught, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off;
32 And they (same LDS heads) that make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, andturn aside the just for a thing of naught.
(The same LDS in great and spacious buildings who call the LDS wheat polluted or apostate, for reproving them, and turn away the fullness they are again teaching, as if it is not important )
33 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.
(Fathers are rather upset to see what came of the first restoration attempt among their seed. And appalled at their greater apostacy and the pride which fuels it)
34 But when he seeth his children, the work of my hands (the righteous LDS remnant who awaken and become wheat, The word his children has special connotation), 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 fear the Lord, or displeasing him, not the arms flesh)
35 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine. (The wheat awaken and begin to sprout within the church, learn the fullness, seek it and learn/teach it to those who still err in spiritual things among tares)
Wheat/Corn vs Tares/Chaff
Are you going to wake up and become wheat? Despite the loftiness of the vineyard where the Lord last set his hand? Are you going to hold to the rod like thousands of others have done among the tares/chaff in organized religions of today?
The gathering of the wheat has already begun. Spiritually. Next is physically.
For those who have already come out spiritually, do we not see there are many still in the lofty vineyard to assist?
See D&C 86 below. Then read the more long version (4 actually) of it in Mathew 13.
D&C 86:
1 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you my servants, concerning the parable of the wheat and of the tares:
2 Behold, verily I say, the field was the world, and the apostles were the sowersof the seed;
2. And after they have fallen asleepthe great persecutor of the church, the apostate, the whore, even Babylon, that maketh all nations to drink of her cup, in whose hearts the enemy, even Satan, sitteth to reign—behold he soweth the tares; wherefore, the tares choke the wheat and drive the church into the wilderness.
4 But behold, in the last days, even now while the Lord is beginning to bring forth the word, and the blade is springing up and is yet tender—
5 Behold, verily I say unto you, the angels are crying unto the Lord day and night, who are ready and waiting to be sent forth to reap down the fields;
6 But the Lord saith unto them, pluck not up the tares while the blade is yet tender (for verily your faith is weak), lest you destroy the wheat also.
7 Therefore, let the wheat and the tares grow together until the harvest is fully ripe; then ye shall first gather out the wheat from among the tares, and after the gathering of the wheat, behold and lo, the tares are bound in bundles, and the field remaineth to be burned.
8 Therefore, thus saith the Lord unto you, with whom the priesthood hath continued through the lineage of your fathers—
9 For ye are lawful heirs, according to the flesh, and have been hid from the world with Christ in God—
10 Therefore your life (Joseph Smith's) and the priesthood have remained, and must needs remain through you and your lineage until the restoration of all things spoken by the mouths of all the holy prophets since the world began.
11 Therefore, blessed are ye if ye continue in my goodness, a light unto the Gentiles, and through this priesthood, a savior unto my people Israel. The Lord hath said it. Amen.
The tender blades were Joseph and the members trying to build Zion. And restore a fullness. A light breaking forth. The Book of Mormon contains the fullness of the gospel. That record contains the most perfect examples and clarity on The doctrine of Christ. How to repent, obtain the Holy Spirit (The Lords inspiration, Revelation, truth) in greater portion, baptized with fire and cleansing, and be baptized in the name of the Lord, obtaining certain eternal promises. They are they who become the Sons of God. Adopted into the eternal family of the Son and the Father. Who are benefactors of the doctrine of Christ. D&C states that those who seek the Lord's face, will find it. All of which is the fullness of the gospel that the gentile church has lost completely site of, and replaces it with idolatry and dare I say in cultic fashion. Not only that, you cast out the head servant writing books to the LDS people teaching these very things.
The early church, was full of prideful and ambitious leadership. The light begins to show forth. They were not able to receive the fullness at the time. They turn their hearts from these things, because of their own precepts and self-interests, drinking too much of the cup of Babylon or the things of the world. The Restoration of all things fails. Zion and a temple within it fail. The two brothers who held the fullness, were taken from the people.
From 1832, and especially after 1844, Church apostles and leadership, fall into a serious deep sleep, to the fullness and receiving revelation. They and the blind who follow them, become the tares. The church was the place the tares, in the wilderness, until at a later time, when wheat begin to grow again.
The wheat are the LDS remnant inside the church who wake up. Realize they're awful situation as a group. See the errors in church history, and why the church has been in the wilderness and the leaders asleep. They come out from under condemnation, focus on the fullness of the gospel, and actually begin to have many within them, obtain those things. The light begins to grow again.
The wheat grow along with the tares for a time in the church, The point came where the Lord needed to continue the restoration of all things through the wheat. He respects Aaronic (portion of Holy Priesthood) Priesthood among them, and no longer in the church since 2014. A new Covenant is later born at the right time as noted in the signs of the heavens above that correspond with that new birth, in 2017. And the truth continues to grow among them, and it alone is enough to to tred down the pride and corruption of the drunkards of Ephraim. They are sleeping and drunk with the wine of Babylon and and wine of their own make. The things of the world.
For the rest of D&C 86, it refers to the two Smith brothers, who made an offering with heaven at the time they were going to Carthage. Going like "lambs to the slaughter". So that their descendants in the future, whom they could be proud of, who will then wake up in the future, having rights to the patriarchal priesthood by being descendants of Abraham and previous Patriarchal Fathers of old, but also descendants from the Smiths. Some of us in these Rocky Mountains, are in deed direct seed of Joseph Smith, American Indians (who have the only old BoM covenant to this land in the future days of Zion), and of Abraham. They in deed have right by descent, to obtaining the fullness back. Many of them also held valid Aaronic Priesthood passed on within the condemned from the fullness Church. They still hold enough Priesthood, to get the fullness of it back.
There are many in the church in our day, who hold some or all of these rights by descent. So that is why the Lord gathers wheat from among the sleeping LDS church where he last set his hand. Joseph and Hyrum offered their lives, so that some future remnant and family of theirs, will be used to get the fulllness back and redeem Zion!
The wheat, become a new covenant people of the Lord in 2017. There are those among them, who have been anointed with the fullness of the promises of the Lord. Some of the wheat sprouts still continue among the tares. Many are still in the process and struggle of converting to sprouts or full blown wheat. You see them coming out of the church. Many stay in the church, making videos about correcting Joseph Smith's false accusations still taught by the sleeping church leaders, and other other topics. A portion of the spirit lies greater with them than those who silence and cast them out. Some no longer attend local churches but do continue to do great work outside it. The church still attempts to choke the wheat from within their society and without.
They spread the message as they are led to do so. They're intensely depending on their own current connection with the Lord. And their own free will to do go get some work done to help people towards the work of the Father, that strange act in the last days because well, it doesn't always happen as people think it comes about. The restoration of all things. Including Zion and an authorized temple in its center. The one that will actually welcome those who actually obtain the fullness of the gospel in their lives before. Including those who resurrect in the first resurrection.
It's all laid out in the scriptures. The Lord pointed out everything. The BoM is ignored by and large. Leaders and members do not read it enough, to see the many prophesies about the attempt at the restoration of the fullness in early Church days. Hence the reason we need to stick to them. And teach them. Truth seekers do that. These are true messengers we should be looking for and listening to.
More proof? Okaaaayyy....
Read Mathew 13, the same parables as D&C 86 but in longer format. Actually four similar parables given and then an explanation of those parables to make it crystal clear! And Luke CH 8 which contains an exclamation of the parable period like in D&C 86
More? You have got to study this additional parable of the Corn and the Chaff below.
There is an even clearer corn and the chaff parable found among the Ethiopean Orthodox church that applies 100% to the failure of the LDS since 1832:
The Book of the covenants. They can be found on Amazon as Book of the Domino's 1 and 2. Just ignore the latter insertion by the Ethiopic Orthodox church who put their own church structure docs to make them appear ancient, right in the middle of the original record. Half of the record is also found on pg 485 of the New testament Apocrypha by MR James, but only a partial reprint - The Epistle of the Apostles (The Book of the covenants 2, but not the whole as found in the scriptural text only found among the Ethiopean church)
It's a record about what Jesus re-taught the 12 after His Resurrection in Jerusalem. It's a much fuller and clearer story of the wheat and the tares that he formerly gave them before the resurrection. The Lord is often reminding us of these similarities in Scriptures. For the final redemption of Zion soon to come to pass.
This is the same as the wheat and tares parable given to the apostles in Israel and in D&C 86. Christ being with them for 40 days after the resurrection, and right before the Lord leaves them for the last time. They watch the Lord leave them right after this last parable given them. The repeated idea in a second parable to them, is SUPER IMPORTANT.
Notable takes from the record mentioned above:
The church in the wilderness, along with apostles that are asleep, brought forth different corrupt doctrines to the gospel. They cause confusion. Because they strive after their own advancement of a church of their own make, according to the natural man lusts within them. They brought forth unprofitable doctrine. Especially in the days of Brigham Young. And there has been corruption even to the point that they turn away the meek and humble inside the church because of the falsifying of the word and gospel. They despise and mock and persecute those who actually hold to the rod inside the church. But the righteous remnant waking up inside the church, band together, and rebuke the sleeping apostles. The leaders. And what does the church do with them? They hate them for what they say. They thrust them aside or cast out. Despise them. Distance themselves. That's why I say they are drunk with the wine of their own make. Words of Isaiah. Their wine is their own confusing false teachings and doctrines. The idolatry they create and force others to follow.
Luke 8 (another parable of seed sowing, related to wheat and tares, etc):
Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 ¶ No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.
17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.
Romans 11:
20 Well; because of unbelief they (Israelites of old) were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
The deliverer is the Lord in the last days, referring the gather the old house of Israel, thru Ephraim and Manassah merged, near the cleansing or "the fullness of the gentiles comes in", who finally obtain the fullness of the gospel. Something the early LDS church failed in.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
THE FOLLY OF ALL OF THE ORGANIZED CHRISTIAN RELIGIONS OF TODAY, ESPECIALLY OF THE LDS CHURCH WHICH WAS THE GREATER APOSTASY IS NOW BEING MADE KNOWN...
1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word; beinstant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
(Not only does the corrupted church go into the wilderness, but they begin to teach lustful doctrines of their own make, as eternal and required to obtain the highest heavens.)
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
These all especially apply to the failed last days group. The Church today. And to all of the other failed Christian religions formed since the Apostate Church in Rome, building their version of Christianity, only to further dominate and control their people politically (well trying to say they didn't). But moreso, to those who are the only ones who had an attempt to the Restoration of the Fullness of the Gospel and Doctrines of Christ. Full Christianity. The only ones who polluted their attempt at the full restoration of true Christianity in the last days.
Paul refers to those who have the chance at a "form of Godliness" but "deny the power thereof" and "ever learning but failing to come to the truth" of "sound doctrines" of the fullness. Only organized religions and their leaders have the opportunity to fit the bill. BUT, Only a church of God (the LDS) can turn their ears away from the truths or light that originally came among them. The greater knowledge, the fullness that was coming among them in the writings of Joseph Smith and the Book Of Mormon, today, is turned into fables or stories of old, things not had in our day. Even so much that leaders in the modern church full of sleeping apostles state that seeking the face of God, is a trick of the devil in 2015. Don't you know, you turn the truths/Doctrines of God into fables, while you persucute and are casting out the righteous from among you who don't!!!! How on earth can you become so blind to scripture and truth and your own folly you put on display to the world???
In the last days there's all prophecies in the Bible talking about how the young will begin to preach and prophesy. Regular lay members in pews, are preaching from their housetops, not the pulpits. Because the spirit is found in them. They see the blatant Church errors. They are trying to clean them out of the church, among leaders leading the blind, because they see and hear not the truth (which comes from the HG or the Lord's promptings). And the sleeping leadership are silencing them with narcissistic behaviors (priest craft none the less) and threats of all kind, threatening spiritual punishment, using social resentment by other members, or even threat of arrest by the church security department, or social alienation from church attendance, excommunication. Etc. They are so steep in their own idolatry, wine of their own make, that they cause many in the church who are getting more portions of the spirit, to follow after their error. You choke the wheat. Those are the very people who do not get divine protection when the wicked destroy the wicked and the natural disaster sermons are preached.
The wheat and the corn are the righteous repentant remnant who come out from corruption and condemnation. And when they come out, thanks to them holding to the Rod, are the ones who are mocked and persecuted by the tares who still remain in the church. They are the only ones who have great and spacious buildings. Their organized corrupt religions of man.
Those with a greater portion of the spirit are given greater understanding. Especially while they read scripture. They can have the gift to see what others cannot see. From the past, the present or future. They are they who clearly see the blatant difference of truths found/not found in the church full of tares/chaff.
By their fruits, ye shall know them. The Wheat. They turn not the Doctrines of Christ, the Fullness of His Gospel, into fables of old! They do and teach it! They experience it, and invite you to partake of the same Fruit!
They can ask can they can indeed receive answers. This gift starts small at first, and can grow to happen often. The answers can come in vision or dream, answers to prayer, actual word of the Lord. You could be told something and then see people teaching about things found in church history or Joseoh Smith papers later confirming what you were told. Even if it contradicted what you understood on the topic. Through being inspired of what scripture or book to read next.
They are indeed shown visions and dreams that they don't even want to see. Often while reading scriptures and praying about meanings. Or randomly in the night, quickly waking up from deep sleep to remember clearly.
Sometimes they are told in very word from the Lord, that things in the last days will be much worse than you currently understand. And get answers that are shocking, but then later shown the answers of how those things will come about. But most importantly, they read and believe the scriptures, and they see the prophecies that paint out how everything will unfold, and they simply compare to our day.
Some of them obtain calling and election from the Lord Himself. They serve as apprentices to the Lord Himself. Not heads of churches. Until the day that they see Him face-to-face, just as a scriptures show and teach. It is not a fable of old. It is part of the doctrine of Christ. The head servant among them, has been meeting personally with the Lord and angels for decades. Doesn't God use his servants the prophets, to do great things for him in the past? Wouldn't He do his best to prepare a servant and other servants to do the greatest work in the last days?
The wheat see and hear the Lord's call to repent, when authorized (by Him) messengers are preaching it. They hold to the ROD, or the Lord, for His guidance and instruction. They teach others to do the same. Then they see eye to eye. The righteous remnant are used to bring back the fullness, build a Zion where they merge with American Indian remants who own the inheritance of this North American land in the last days, where all the other tribes of Israel can also come to. The book of mormon was given when it was, to help the people who actually read the record, to see their loss and failure, and to help them see who still obtains promises to this land, during the last redemption of Zion. It was given for a future redemption of the fullness of the gospel and of Zion. Right before the second coming. To redeem a remnant, wheat and corn, from among them in the last times. Surely it's a big test. But a necessary one. You have to put the Lord, and his personal answers and guidance above all else. Especially all arms of flesh in all organized religions. Isaiah prophesied of our day. He saw the religious organizations going astray and stated there would be filthiness in all of them. Especially the LDS failed restoration who should have known better.
The scriptures are all pointing to the same last times of the gentiles storyline. And yet so many see it not.
Few there be, in all ages, who will obtain the greater light and keep it. How oft the Lord would gather souls into a covenant people, where He can be their God and they can be His people for real, but they would not.
Surely the Israel of Old lost their status. Christianity surely had a great apostasy after the times of the apostles in Israel. And Jaredites/Nephites in North America in the Book of Mormon, had even greater light and knowledge among them. And the same failure still happened to their people. And the very church who owns all of those narratives among them, they are still so prideful to repeat it in the end.
But what has happened in our day, to a church that should have known better, is a greater apostacy. The greatest. After the great Apostacies of Israel of Old in the Old Testament, after days of the Apostles in the New Testament, and the failures and loss among the Jaredites and Nephites. Loss of Covenant status. THIS IS THE APOSTACY PRIMARILY REFERRED TO IN ALL OF THE LAST DAYS PROPHECIES FOUND IN ALL LDS SCRIPTURES. A people where more knowledge is had, having more scripture than any other people. More warnings. With mistakes in the BoM and the Bible and early D&C writings, laid out for them to read and avoid.
The LDS church, steep in pride, has failed the Lord's ORIGINAL INTENT, despite having all of these witnesses in multiple sacred texts. Many of the tares who hear the call to repent by the wheat, still fail to listen while preaching clear scripture prophecy of our own group failure as a Church. Those in chief seats, choke them, make them feel under threat of fear and manipulation, that they need to stay with the main body.
Really think about it, the LDS have more texts than any other Christians possess. Not only that, as if the scriptures were not enough witness of what they would do and become and lose... They repeat endless, powerless, temple ordinances that clearly profit them not... also teaching them the same fullness but still see it not. They still fail to believe and do in very deed. And just as the ritual states, fall under Satan's trickery.
Greater condemnation lies with those who should have in fact known better. Who held the greatest light to fall from after.
It all is a witness to you. The witness is going forth now, the servants of the Lord, among the head servant, are going forth and declaring repentance. Declaring this true history. Their testimony to you, on top of the many witnesses about our day in scripture, is only further witness against you. It is time to come out from under condemnation.
These are the last times of the last days era. The last hour. The tribulations of man and from above, ARE AT OUR DOORS NOW.
A repentant LDS Remnant has been called. Renamed as a Covenant group: Covenant Christians.
See RestoreZion.com and DenverSnuffer.com (and his books written to the LDS).
The Lord will use those who actually hear His truth, actually connect with Him IN DEED, endowed from on high... to redeem Zion at last.
Where are you at? Among the Lord's wheat, or among tares and chaff? Search and seek until you learn that for yourself. And go out and help others do the same. This is the time of the work of the Father to go forth. This work is much bigger than you or me, or even the New Covenant people... but at least make YOU happy, by making the Lord happy, in what ever good way you can. You can assist in the Work, you can make a difference.
YOU HAVE A HIGHER PURPOSE. The Lord's. Repent of the iniquity of our church Fathers. Cleanse your personal life The best you can. Seek the Lord personally. Join with those other servants and actual Covenant Christians in the Strange Act and Work of the Father (all done through His Son as directed). The time is now. The Redemption of Zion is now.
Joseph Smith was only sealing women to himself, to tie her and her husband and their kids to him in his patriarchal adopted family.
His valid use of his keys for his own family, real or adopted, was later falsely claimed and used for selfish carnal benefit of leaders after Joseph Smith. They falsely tied polygamy starting with him. For personal reason and gain.
Emma was an elect. Don't listen to Brigham Young, destroy her good character, while he overtook the reins of the church in manipulative fashion.
Emma always stated that her husband was never a carnal polygamist. Eliza Snow said Joseph Smith was not her carnal husband. And we all know what that means.
The church today, thanks to authors like Brian Hales and others, And mainly thanks to a lack of Revelation or word of God to any of the leaders since 1844, are still teaching that polygamy is an eternal practice. Something they think we will go back to. And worse are actually casting out good innocent members of the church who are learning this true history for themselves! They want to keep alive the bad history of the church that Brigham Young began. Because it protects there claims to authority. They don't want to admit that bringing young led the church Astray in so many ways because that is their legacy and claim to authority. They are narcissistically manipulating and controlling members to think only as they want them to think. We all need to be careful with the friends we keep. Especially to be careful with leaders of churches who really doen't know what is true or not, and use abusive tactics to control the minds and social atmosphere of members.
What does Grok AI say about this topic?
"“The modern Mormon Church probably isn't telling the full truth about Joseph Smith. It’s narrative hinges entirely on retrofitting polygamy to him and ignoring clear, obvious patterns that scream otherwise. The Book of Mormon, which Smith labeled the cornerstone of his faith, [and claimed could bring any man closer to God] fiercely condemns polygamy as an abomination in Jacob 2, with no [logically applicable*] exceptions noted. Joseph repeatedly declared publicly, “I have but one wife”, and his early journals, especially those from 1842–43, show him outright forbidding plural marriage [with clear disgust and disdain for the practice]. And absolutely no DNA evidence exists linking him to children from alleged plural wives, unlike Brigham Young and later prophets who fathered dozens from multiple women. Emma Smith, his devoted wife, swore vehemently till her death that he wasn't a polygamist, and her testimony carries solid weight. Brigham Young, [who repeatedly attacked Emma’s character] after Joseph's 1844 murder, oversaw revisions to church history—editing journals, adding notes like the Happiness Letter, and altering records to pin polygamy on Smith, most likely to legitimize his own practices. These changes, admitted in Young's journals, suggest a deliberate rewrite. The murder itself—mobbed in Carthage Jail—could tie to his resistance against emerging polygamy factions, as some contemporaries hinted his anti-polygamy stance threatened powerful insiders. The church's insistence on Smith as polygamy's founder feels more like a hijacking, papering over his likely fight against it to protect a doctrine that exploded under Brigham. The truth? Joseph probably stood firm against polygamy, and his death may have been something very different from what is commonly claimed. It’s far more likely that he was silenced for beliefs that didn't align with a new [emerging] Mormon power structure.”
* logical applicability would require DNA evidence of biological offspring of Joseph Smith from any woman other than Emma Smith, which does not exist."
Brigham Young and other leaders had no idea in actuality what Joseph Smith was really doing with sealing or law of adoption. They said they were confused about it. But they use those things, and decided to build a temple which took 40 years, and was strangely Gothic in fashion, so they can perform their polygamous marriages. So they can live their corrupt wife system in the church.
They knew about second annointings, some of them claim to receive that from Joseph, and they wanted to continue giving each other those second annointings, so they can qualify to be leaders of the church. Or the head. It was done for brigham young to maintain power and control over the church. Over the body. It was Brigham Young taking underage women for brides. He was taking church tithing and property and putting it in his name so he can give it to his most favorite young plural wives! Quite Priest-Crafty don't you think?
The whole point of sealing was for a family patriarch, such as Joseph Smith, to seal people into his spiritual family. Which simply means he would serve them and help them in the future, especially in the afterlife, with their own progression towards godhood. He was sealing people to himself first as wives and then figure out he can do it at Sons and Daughters sealed to him. He was not taking people's wives. He was not sharing men's wives. He was not adding wives to live in a polygmist fashion. He had zero kids with it any of the women he sealed to him, because he was not living polygamy. He wasn't increasing his sexual conquests. He wasn't trying to look better than another man by having 50 wives like Brigham.
One with sealing authority, can seal people into their Patriarchal family for time and all eternity. He can only have one queen. One woman is his eternal queen forever. That is the divine image of a future God couple. That is the image given in the first family of Adam and Eve. And with that authority he can seal her to him and it is eternally accepted by heaven. Because he held the keys to do so at the time it was done. Those who seal people who are not in their immediate family like Joseph Smith did, the rest are added into his family like sons and daughters. And then he would seal himself to One of the patriarchal fathers that existed before. Such as Michael the one at the first patriarchal family. The first patriarchal head over all those who later become part of that holy order.
The church after the 1844 succession crises/war, continued temples so they can perform polygamous marriages and for seeking power and control over a group of people. Including salt lake and St George and Logan. Polygamy marriages were done in those temples.. They didn't really know what Joseph Smith was doing with adoption and sealings. They falsy accused Joseph of living it so that they could live it in their days. And they were not authorized by God ever, to build a new temple by faith and sacrifice, nor were any of the churches accepted by the Lord. Only Nauvoo Temple was authorized to be built by God. And it was never finished nor accepted because the prophet who had the keys to do so chose to leave the people who failed. That's why the two with the keys left the earth at the same time. It's why they chose to go there and risk going to the slaughter like a lamb. They already knew what other leaders of members in the church were doing to take over the church in their own way. They gave up their lives so that a future remnant, future descendants, could wake up and have a second chance at a full restoration of Zion. A fullness of priesthood. They offered themselves set the time, for their descendants benefit in the future. They knew what would happen, and I did not choose a family son to continue on what they had started. There was a succession crisis and there was not even a presidency of the church for like 3 years. And confusion and conflict and contradicting false teachings and misunderstandings still continue today. Those are covenant curses, from a previously failed opportunity at being a covenant people. Not covenant blessings. No matter how flowery the church wants to paint its bad history.
First you have to be in actual communication with the Lord for such a thing to happen. They simply wanted power and control of a religion, so they can live to the religion in their corrupt King Noah fashion. They falsy claimed to hold the same sealing power that Joseph Smith held, The same second annointings authority, and continued unauthorized temple building, and rebranded everything to suit their own lustful and covetous and abusive leading ways. In full King Noah style.
Look at your own sealing to your father. How far back does yours go? Most people are Converts. My siblings and myself are only sealed to my stepdad. And he is not sealed to anyone else. And no one in the church does anything about sealing a Father in our day, with their immediate family, or claim to be anyway, to one of the patriarchal fathers of old, to tie them to anything. The church system is fruitless. It fails. Even if it actually still held ceiling authority to continue such things, they are not actually sealing you to anyone in the past. The whole point is to be sealed to the fathers of old. Father's tied to Adam. Because it's his entire patriarchal family. The web is disconnected. The church still continues doing what Brigham Young and early leaders were confused about doing. Except earlier narcissistic abusive leaders were doing it for power and polygamy.
Regardless of church failure, a regardless of what you believe, whatever the church still has or not, individuals can still obtain that same sealing authority for their own family. But you can never follow the example of false leaders like in the early days of the church. You can't use it for power or control over what people think or do. You are only a servant. You are only providing blessings for your own connected family. You are not a presiding patriarch over the whole earth. You're not authorized to build a church or a temple or seek to lead a group of people. People may listen to you as a messenger. And agree with you. You may do your job to help others come into Christ in actuality. But you cannot use it for selfish benefit especially by hurting other people by doing so.
Eternal marriage is still possible regardless of group failure.
Those who obtain calling and election in this life, receive the same keys. When the Lord decides that person understands enough, and can handle it in an appropriate way.
Those men hold the keys to obtain answers from God and actually receive them. The kingdom is within you. You are the temple of God. God made Grant temporary temple building to redeem a Zion community in a covenant group who actually holds a real covenant with Him sure. To teach great things such as this within it. A place for family patriarchs to perform eternal marriages. And one day in Zion, an actual portal for the return of the Savior and the city of Enoch and people of Melchizedek and all the others who were prophesied to return at that time.
False claiming of group keys, that were used to abuse and control and take your daughters and wives as plural wives of corrupt leaders, and a church tying people to themselves that don't tie you to anyone of old, it's fruitless. And as the book of Mormon states, those who believe they have all they need, and need no more, are the ones who are led slowly down to hell.
I may not yet be one like unto Denver Snuffer or Joseph Smith, or the actual North American Prophets who fill the pages of the Book Mormon or those in the East whose remnants of writings we find in corrupted and edited records found in bibles.
But I do know the path, in part, is real. I have traveled far enough along that path to know it is. It is real. I do know that I and any of you can become just like them.
WE NEED YOU TO BE THE WHEAT AMONG TARES.
If you are not? When? Because it's already happening my friends.
D&C 85 now makes sense. It is only more witness from the Lord, of what would happen to the church that goes in the wilderness, with sleeping apostles. The pattern is the same. The story is there everywhere.
D&C 85:
...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:
7 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;
8 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.
9 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.
10 These things I say not of myself; therefore, as the Lord speaketh, he will also fulfil.
God has sent one, filled with the truth, filled with multiple decades of visits with Christ himself, angels, many revelations, etc. A regular lay member inside the LDS.
He is the head servant spoken of by Jacob in the Book of Mormon. About a servant and many servants go there out. To gather the elect and the wheat from among the tares. First spiritually and then physically into Zion.
This mighty and strong, is the one the Lord will use to gather those elect, and redeem the actual Zion.
Those who tried to study the ark, since the apostles of Joseph Smith, until today, who do not repent, will find themselves among the rest of the wicked of the nation. Who are not protected. From greater tribulation of man, or that of the Lord right before He comes.
It's not just symbology. It has happened before.
Receiving a covenant in the early days, the fullness, and then losing it, and then losing two actual prophets you had among you, And then going on in the works of your own hands, trying to carry on greater temple ordinances which requires a much greater priest than you have held since 1844, building unauthorized temples, none of them pre-authorized to be built by Christ, and none of them accepted by him after they were built, and then going on thinking you have all you need and need no more, going against that which the book Mormon clearly teaches you not to do, And when the light begins to come forth among those in your pews, you ignore them. You call them mad. Apostate. Polluted. You seek to silence them and cast him out. Heaven and forbid they are doing what you should have been doing all along. Surely that is hard to hear. You are inebriated with the wine of Babylon. The things of the world. And now you teach others in the church that they need to disregard the light coming forth among them. That those seeking the face of God, are somehow falling into the hands of Satan. What hypocrisy! Not only do you cast out the righteous from among you, silence them, or attempt to, you even preach against the doctrine of Christ. The most holy and important doctrines!
WHEAT SPROUTING INSIDE THE CHURCH:
I am appalled to see what is already happening in the history of the church. I am appalled to see this church continue to label Joseph Smith as a child marrying, wife sharing, adulterer. He was not. You don't listen to those actually inspired by the Spirit of God in your pews. Humble truth seeking Relief Society Members making their youtube videos. Them too, you silence by your manipulative fear tactics, and cast out of your membership roles.
The D&C clearly says the borders of the lamanites at the time was in Missouri. The North American Indians are a seed of the Lehites. A former covenant people who lost themselves spiritually and then physically, because they too had the light in the beginning. The fullness of the doctrines of Christ and it being lived. Yet the heads of Ephraim still believe not the Book of Mormon took place in South America somewhere. Not in "this land". A new covenant broke forth from Joseph Smith, in North America. In the same place where the last people lost their covenant status. Yet you fail to understand your scriptures. And when those filled with more spirit than you, in your pews once again, like more Rod Meldrum, Church scholars and leaders kick and scream against the idea.
Other members are making videos about the possibility that Willard Richards and John Taylor might have physically assisted the mob in the assassination of the only two people who held the keys of the Kingdom. A fullness of keys to actually redeem Zion. There are dishonest discrepancies. If a ball hit John Taylor's watch, he would surely be dead. There are some falsehoods in that history. Is it too much for them to also wonder if they might have been the ones to shoot with pistols, before the mob got through the door? Dishonest facts are in our history about that day. It's a far fetched idea to consider, but there are so many other errors and contradictions in church history, allowing members to investigate what even seems impossible.
You can watch Rob Fotheringham (whom you also cast out and silence) YouTube channel, talking about how the Nauvoo city council, were the ones pressuring Joseph Smith to sign the order to burn the printing press. They knew burning a printing press is it outright violation to the American amendment of freedom of press. So many already did not like Joseph Smith because he was trying to run as an anti-slavery presidential candidate. And then some apostles and church members were secretly living polygamy in Nauvoo. And even while on their missions in England. Brigham Young's Big Idea of living polygamy began when he was in England while Joseph was teaching against it. And their actions were being known about, and Joseph Smith was falsely accused of possibly doing the same. And what was his only involvement? Adopting people into his patriarchal family only. He wasn't taking young brides. He wasn't sleeping with the other members wives. He wasn't seeking any kind of sexual gratification or living polygamy in any carnal way. That too added to people already wanting to assassinate him. But when those who were Nauvoo city council members, also Church apostles, start hearing that Joseph Smith is publicly denouncing polygamy, and stating he only has one wife, They wanted to protect the marital ways they had already entered into. They wanted to take the lead of the church. Ambitious and adulterous. That's why they push him to sign the burning of the press. They already knew all the other nonsense that was out there. That's just one more thing to motivate the mob going in and doing what they did.
The church has been in the wilderness, or what should be called Covenant curses for losing the original light that was among them almost 200 years ago. The factual church history that you hide from those in your pews for the most part, is the perfect example of a history of Covenant curses. Of being in the wilderness. False doctrines. The teachings of man taught as doctrine. Modern leaders contradicting previously leaders. And blatantly so. Preaching that polygamy is something eternal, live by the gods. It is not.. It was only reluctantly allowed in times of old only. But that was from their corrupt culture. Not wanted by God, not by His command especially. Church members murdering other pioneers, dressed like Indians and blaming it on them. Blood atonement actually happening in the church. Even in Santa Clara or St George. Church leaders and bishops, taking the wives or fiance's from other faithful members. They stole that which is not theirs, using priestcraft to do accomplish it. While forcing the church to believe pulling me is an absolute eternal requirement to be lived. Only to protect what they wanted to do personally.
The truth is treading down the pride of Ephraim. The sleeping apostles since Nauvoo.
The wheat, And even elect among you, are being silence and rejected by them. And worse, leaders are teaching other members to do the same. Scorning. Mocking. Persecuting them. While standing in great and spacious buildings. While the wheat still continue doing what they should be doing. Holding to the Rod all along.
Seek for true messengers? --- They can be on this side of the veil and the other...
The whole reason the church needs to set in order, by one mighty and strong with the truth of God, with the connection of heaven in order to do such an important task in the last days, is because the church fell asleep and never redeemed Zion. They committed a greater apostasy. They think they have all they need in need no more. While slowly led astray from truth and teaching falsehoods. Obviously the Lord needs to send someone who actually connects with him, to preach among the LDS church, One of their best members, And you reject him from the bottom to the top. You even cast out and silence other members who read his books and agree with him. And talk about it online.
The Lord's mighty and strong, gathers the elect. From among you. And what is the big purpose? For the redemption of Zion. The church has none. Bringham Young on failed when he tried to bring up the law of concentration a couple times. Obviously he had no connection with God doing what he was doing, to even attempt to build temples or live law of consecration. The servant the Lord uses, was well prepared. First by scriptures studied while a member. And being called and prepped by angels and the Lord Himself. He knows what to teach, because the Lord and the scriptures showed him the great apostasies in our scriptures and the greater apostasy among sleeping leaders.
He has to fully be aware of what caused covenants to fail in the past. What caused Zion to fail in Joseph's day. So it may actually stand in our day.
I am just one of the many servants. Going out and doing what the Lord tells me to do. I have received His words. I have received His confirmations. I've received visions. I've been told things and seen things that scared the hell out of me. And had to beg for it to stop. I didn't know how things would get to a point where those things would happen. Hey later told me more things, about the last days. Even more things I couldn't understand how they could ever happen. And yet he explained even more after that over time.
By their fruits you shall know them. By the truth of our history they teach. By the message of repentance they have. By their understanding of last days prophecies in scripture, and things kept hidden in scripture, only to be revealed now. And why is that? Because it is time. This is what the prophets in the Book of Mormon, and the apostles from Israel, were taught and even shown about the Holy church which would become corrupted and polluted in the last days right before Zion is redeemed. They were told not to reveal too much at that time. But the conclusion could be had any time. There's so much taught about the redemption of Zion. About a light coming forth, in the early days of the church. And the failure after. It is all laid out in multiple scriptures.
One has to come, and set in order the church (And what is the church in the Book of Mormon? Those who know and live the doctrine of Christ. The wheat/elect), and ultimately Zion. For the elect among gentiles and Israelites to gather to. The inheritances or lots for those who will reside there. Our church never did that. To this very day. And worse preaches against those wheat and elect trying to point huge failures and nehative traditions of their fathers out to them.
Study the words of Nephi and Jacob. Isaiah. Jeremiah. Ezekiel. The things taught to the 12 apostles in Israel and North America of old. Study the words of Joseph smith. And you too can see what I see. And then we can see eye to eye. And hopefully we will end up in Zion together.
The church cannot go on thinking they received covenant blessings. When a clear headed review of church history clearly says otherwise.
See the example of how the Lord commands a people to build an acceptable temple. And he clearly stated that the fullness of priesthood, or the light which begun among them, a "fullness of His gospel" rejected, was removed from them, after the Kirtland Temple was established and accepted. You can see what great things would actually take place in that finished temple.
They were clearly told that if they don't finish the Nauvoo temple in time, that they would be rejected as a church, including any temple work like baptisms for the Dead, and suffer covenant curses.
28: For there is not a place found on earth that He may come to and restore again that which was lost unto you, or which he hath taken away, even the fulness of the priesthood.
31 But I command you, all ye my saints, to build a house unto me; and I grant unto you a sufficient time to build a house unto me; and during this time your baptisms shall be acceptable unto me.
32 But behold, at the end of this appointment your baptisms for your dead shall not be acceptable unto me; and if you do not these things at the end of the appointment ye shall be rejected as a church, with your dead, saith the Lord your God.
33 For verily I say unto you, that after you have had sufficient time to build a house to me, wherein the ordinance of baptizing for the dead belongeth, and for which the same was instituted from before the foundation of the world, your baptisms for your dead cannot be acceptable unto me;
The good stuff that will come if they finish the temple in time:
41 For I deign to reveal unto my church things which have been kept hid from before the foundation of the world, things that pertain to the dispensation of the fulness of times.
This was the Church's Chance to come out from under condemnation, and have the fullness restored unto them again. Their chance to repent for the mistakes before. Causing them to fail to redeem Zion in other lands.
44 If ye labor with all your might, I will consecrate that spot that it shall be made holy.
45 And if my people will hearken unto my voice, and unto the voice of my servants whom I have appointed to lead my people, behold, verily I say unto you, they shall not be moved out of their place.
46 But if they will not hearken to my voice, nor unto the voice of these men whom I have appointed, they shall not be blest, because they pollute mine holy grounds, and mine holy ordinances, and charters, and my holy words which I give unto them.
47 And it shall come to pass that if you build a house unto my name, and do not do the things that I say, I will not perform the oath which I make unto you, neither fulfil the promises which ye expect at my hands, saith the Lord.
48 For instead of blessings, ye, by your own works, bring cursings, wrath, indignation, and judgments upon your own heads, by your follies, and by all your abominations, which you practice before me, saith the Lord.
The Nauvoo temple was never finished. The only two men who held actual Prophet status and sealing power, chose to go back to Carthage. They knew what would happen. And why was that? Because they learned that the Lord had rejected the people.
All of the Covenant curses the Lord mentions here, took place.
They were moved out of their place, again.
The sealing power was removed from them, and was never really given a chance to be used because the temple wasn't finished.
Their prophet, seer and revelator, left the people. They lost their Moses when they needed him the most.
THESE ARE COVENANT CURSES, NOT BLESSINGS.
Nothing new was revealed to the people since 1844. No more scripture. No hidden things coming to light. And worse, the teachings of men were taught as doctrines and principles of the gospel. Bringham Young was racist. And strongly so. Joseph Smith was an anti-racism presidential candidate, baptizing black people, gave a couple of african decendants the priesthood in his day, baptized some, and was even inviting a black woman to live in The Nauvoo House. Brigham Young was the serial polygamist, taking young brides and other men's wives for himself. Teaching the church that they all needed to live that, to go to the highest celestial kingdom. They made up the lies that Joseph Smith was living it (he was only performing family connections), so they could claim some kind of safe haven under the amendment of religion. They taught suicide or blood atonement, at a later time, and if the members weren't not doing that for themselves then the leaders were putting that in their own hands.
The church leaders know they don't have answers. They know that they don't have keys to ask and receive. They rely on church scholars. The church office building employees.
Yet they claim to hold the same keys as Joseph Smith. Those keys left the Earth in 1844. Yes some priesthood remained, just enough so that an LDS remnant could wake up to their awful situation as a group. The holy priesthood from the days of Joseph Smith, was preserved under lesser Aaronic level keys. And everyone who was a descendant of Abraham, has the right by father and son lineage, to hold those things.
The church has been in the wilderness. The heavens are as brass to them. That doesn't mean that they or lay members don't have occasional promptings of this Holy Ghost. That can happen anywhere.
But when a people labor, to prop up a flowery pilgrim history among themselves, instead of seeing the clear curses that have in fact transpired since then, and continue building unauthorized temples, and trying to pretend they still hold all the keys to do tempo ordinances or redemption for the dead, and sealling families together... They think they have all they need. But it is in vein.
The keys of the priesthood that are to get answers from the Lord. If the church claimed to hold those higher keys since 1844, well this is the whole point of keys. To ask and receive. To get communications in holy places. Revelation. The Lord directing them personally.
The church and their dead were rejected in 1844. Joseph and Hyrum chose to leave the people. Hyrum did not choose one of his righteous sons to take his place as church head patriarch (which was the only way the church would have any kind of sealing authority in acceptable temples) even though they knew what would happen if they went back. That goes father to son. Joseph Smith did not elect a new prophet for the church. They knew the church was rejected. And they chose to leave at that time. And they offered their lives as a sacrifice, so that some of their descendants in the future, would wake up to the truth, and get the fullness back.
That has been happening for many years now. From among the last place for the Lord last set his hand.
The sifting of the wheat from out of the tares. The corn from the chafe. That great division within the church that has so often talked about.
WERE ARE YOU? TRUTH IS MADE CLEAR TO YOU... BUT IT'S ACCEPTANCE IS BASED ON YOUR READINESS, NOT JUST AVAILABILITY. So evaluate inwardly, and YOU figure out why you are not ready to see what other wheat see, here what they here...
The wheat are first spiritually gathering. A new Covenant by God has been given them and named: Covenant Christians.
"The spirit of God is withdrawing from the world. Men are increasingly more angry without good cause. The hearts of men are waxing cold. There is increasing anger and resentment of gentiles. In political terms, it’s rejection of white privilege. Language of scriptures description of the events now underway calls it the end of the times of the gentiles. This process with the spirit withdrawing, will end on this continent as two prior civilization ended, in fratricidal and genocidal warfare. For the rest of the world, it will be as in the days of Noah in which, as that light becomes eclipsed, the coldness of men’s hearts is going to result in a constant scene of violence and bloodshed. The wicked will destroy the wicked. The covenant, if it is kept, will prevent you from losing light and warmth of heart as the spirit now steadily recedes from the world. The time will come, when you will be astonished at the gulf between the light and truth you will comprehend and the darkness of mind of the world. Be charitable and patient and labor to reach others. They will judge you harshly, but nevertheless be kind to them. They are going to grow to fear you, but that’s only part of how darkness responds to light. Give them no reason to fear you. The time will come for us to gather, but between now and then be leaven. Preserve the world. Be salt. Preserve the world. Even if it hates you."
For family and friends who have not taken a proper truthful honest investigation about church history, I recommend you read my website. And take another look at what the Lord is doing with Denver Snuffer.
The Lord said that one mighty strong would come and cleanse the church. That a cleansing would begin first upon His house.
The truth is all that is needed to restore the final Zion at last. I was willing to question everything. And I did in church history. And I began to see clearly that the church is clearly out of order as an organization. Nothing compares to what Joseph Smith or any of our people in the scriptures were doing.
Denver Snuffer wrote a bunch of books, clearly explaining in very logical and easy to understand fashion, exactly what happened in church history. And they are the same things I learned for myself when doing deep serious research prior to reading his books. And those who know me know I'm blessed with time to do such serious research.
Brigham Young was a modern-day King Noah. And if you will actually study Church history long enough, you will clearly see that. God has allowed every covenant people to be led astray in the past. And it's prideful and absurd to think it can't happen in our day.
He indeed taught falsehoods. He indeed was involved with pushing Joseph Smith, with other apostles/city council members, manipulating him to go sign the police order to burn the burning press in the first place. Some of those Apostles who were also starting to live polygamy secretly on their European missions and Joseph was starting to find out! Brigham was out doing that very thing for 3 weeks prior to the assassination of the last 2 people on earth holding a fullness of priesthood.
The church was overtaken. It's been corrupted. Still under condemnation since 1832 and moreso after 1844. The Lord never brought the LDS out of it, ever. An actual prophet, an actual seer bringing old scriptures to the world, who was given the authority and keys to create a new covenant people, and a new temple authorized and accepted by the Lord. But all of that failed. Because the other leaders and members failed to perform as the Lord required. That's why the prophet was allowed to be taken. Him and Hyrum knew what would happen, if they returned to Carthage. Going like "lambs going to the slaughter". Those two alone held the keys to seal. And to establish a valid temple. And to redeem Zion. A people and a place. To last until the second coming. Those two were taken at the same time. They do not ordain a son and their family to continue the ceiling authority they both held. And the church was taken over by a corrupt, power hungry, priest-crafty, excessive wife taking leadership. Church history fulfills all of the prophecies about the people who would read the book in the last days. It was the church that began to become so wicked. With blood on their hands even. The Book of Mormon asks us, the churchgoers of today, The only people who actually read the book, "Why have you polluted the Holy Church of God?" Why do you continue to watch The only Holy church that could be polluted in the last days to still be polluted? Honestly! And if other members are learning the truth, and they're trying to wake you up, how can you think to ignore them on such an important matter?
Joseph Smith was baptizing black people. He gave some of them priesthood. Brigham Young taught if we ever give the priesthood to them, we would be spiritually destroyed and priesthood would be taken from us. His teaching was false. The coming of Christ enabled anyone anywhere, to be redeemed from the fall and be baptized by anyone holding baptismal authority. Yes, there was curses on canaanites/edomites... but that has nothing to do with dark skin color!
Brigham Young taught that polygamy is required for anyone to reach the highest level of the celestial kingdom. That you must have at least three wives. It is false. He and others falsely accused Joseph Smith have originally living it, so that they can claim that they had original religious right to live it. Because it was a part of their religion. They had to make it look like it was always there, to try to convince the government to not take it from them. The government was coming to remove Brigham Young as governor. They saw his errors. It wasn't just him having 50 wives and telling everybody else to have plural wives.
Adam god doctrine was false. A simple search of the scriptures will reveal that.
Blood atonement is pure evil. Antichrist. Anyone with reasonable thinking can figure that out.
Brigham Young and other apostles, or local church bishops/leaders following their fruits, taking other men's wives while they're on a mission, or bishops in St George trying to force a couple to break up their engagement, so the bishop can take that man's fiance as his wife, is severe corruption. Priest craft to the max!!! Any leader or father or anyone anywhere who has any kind of authority whatsoever, who abuses it, who uses it for their own personal gain, while hurting other people, especially their own!, it is stated in D&C scripture that they will have no authority real before God. You lose what you have.
No I'm not trying to hurt your belief. Or hurt your self identity. I'm trying to turn you from prophesied idolatry and cognitive dissonance. There was indeed an apostasy of Christianity. BUT, there was a greater, more shocking, GREATER APOSTACY, AFTER. This is the primary message in the Book Of Mormon! Nephi, Jacob, Mormon, Moroni and others tried to say without directly saying it! That the latter day church, would be polluted! I am filled with the spirit of God, at times, to the point that things in scripture hit me so hard with truth, that it cannot be denied. I AM ONLY POINTING OUT THE MESSAGE OF THE NUMBER ONE RECORD THAT LDS DO NOT YET UNDERSTAND. Self apostacy of the Holy Church of God in the last days, ALONE IS PROOF THAT JOSEPH SMITH DID NOT INVENT THE BOOK OF MORMON! Joseph would not have invented the failure of his own Church organization he would later be allowed and directed on, how to create.... before he even began.
No one can put all their trust in the arms of flesh, even if they are the 15 headed by a church followed by millions. Mostly inactive millions by the way. I'm trying to prepare you and help you see the truth, so you can actually become a part of the work the Lord is actually doing with repentant LDS people!
So whether you are a family or a friend or a church scholar here on my friend list, take another look. Let the spirit of God be your guide. Let the iron rod be your guide. Even if the others in large buildings are pointing their fingers and falsely accusing you. To push you off the path. Stay on the path. Study everything. Question everything. Don't worry about what it means if you find the truth. Because the truth is more important than your social standing before a church or family or friends.
And to be honest, you going through that might be exactly what you need to connect with your Lord. On a personal and serious level. On a new adopted familial level even.
THE LORD NEEDS LDS PEOPLE TO WAKE UP. THAT IS WHERE HE LAST SET HIS HAND. AND HE HAS ALREADY SET HIS HAND AGAIN AMONG THEM A SECOND TIME, TO PREPARE FOR THE COMING OF AN ACTUAL ZION THAT WILL REMAIN UNTIL THE SECOND COMING. THE LAST DAYS ARE HERE. THE LORD WILL USE WHOEVER HE CAN TO GET ALL THE PROPHECIES ABOUT ZION FULFILLED. Surely God will do his great work in the last days, with whatever people he can do that work with. Obviously it's going to be with a penitent and non prideful group of Christians.
You can buy Denver Snuffer books on Amazon. Read them. The Lord personally guided Him to do so and publish the books despite what the LDS leadership would do to him. He has a blog on Denversnuffer.com
There is a new Covenant people in our day. There is a new group Covenant given to those people. And it involves the actual presence and work of the Lord doing it all. Not man. Think about it... if the Lord has a Covenant Group upon the earth, something rarely had in full, in all history... DO YOU THINK HE IS GOING TO LET THEM LEAD THEMSELVES ASTRAY? DO YOU THINK HE WILL NOT BE PERSONALLY INVOLVED WITH THE HEAD SERVANTS? Surely He said that IF any covenant people will listen and follow Him as He leads them, they will have His Divine Guidance and Protection? That He will be their God, and they be His people (family)??? How on earth can the LDS leadership, or any other organized religious leadership on this planet... pretend to be the Family of God, the Covenant Christians on earth... when the Lord is not actually involved???
Wake up. Pray for the truth. And dig in. And don't stop until you have it
