This one was so good I had to post:
Nailed it again! Those of us in the Church who look outward for the "whore" miss the mark completely. A whore is a two-timer. Someone who made sacred promises with their master/king/husband/etc and then has broken them. The biggest "whores" of them all are those of who profess and take the Lord's name, but do so in vain. And those whores are right in our Church.
We need to think of who in our lives would be considered the biggest whore. Without question, it would be our wives (or husbands, considering this from a woman's perspective). We are "married" to Christ. He is the bride-groom, we are the bride. Who's the biggest whore in that perspective? We are.
And members of our Church need to get that through their heads. WE are the whores. We swear deceitfully by making sacred promises in the Temple and then NOT keeping them. We keep asking God for things in the Temple, but no wonder we don't get answers. We haven't figured out that the key to "asking and receiving" is actually keeping our covenants, and keeping them RIGHT NOW... not "when the prophets ask us to" (thinking of the law of consecration). We are all whores when we make sacred covenants and don't keep them... When we walk out of the Temple and back into our Babylonian lifestyles without a second thought.
How are the sons of Levi (Moses and Aaron were levites. We become sons of Levi when we obtain the priesthood of Moses and Aaron, the Melch. and Aaronic priesthood) ever going to offer an acceptable offering unto the Lord if we don't keep our covenants but instead keep our whorish lifestyles? An offering from such a two-timing people will never be acceptable to God.
We promise to keep certain laws when we go through the Temple, such as the law of Chastity and Consecration. Will it do us any good to keep the law of Chastity "when the prophets tell us to"? No. We must keep it now. The law of Consecration isn't any different. Though the Church as a whole can't keep the law of Consecration in America right now (the government has stopped us every time we've tried), we can and must keep it individually. We have to actually help the poor and needy, not just promise to do so and instead build up our portfolios and our estates. Lipservice is cheap. All of God's true messengers "have sufficient for their needs", not a lavish lifestyle and then some. The excess in our lives shouldn't be squandered on things of Babylon but rather used in helping to build God's Kingdom. That's part of how we remove our "whore" status.
Truly the scriptures leave no room for guessing who will make it through the coming cataclysms - those who are FIRM, STEADFAST and IMMOVABLE in KEEPING the commandments. And even then, the Lord will say to them, "O all ye that are spared because ye were more righteous than they, will ye not now return unto me, and repent of your sins, and be converted, that I may heal you?"
And speaking of being "RE-VISITED", I ran into a picture that sent chills up my spine. It was a picture of MS-13 and M-18 gang members in a holding cell (CLICK LINK). When these animals get out, due to general lawlessness, all hell will break loose - and it will be as it was in the final days of Mormon's people, that I am reading about right now in Mormon 1-5. Mormon left a very strong wording at the end of Mormon Ch 5 of the warning that Christ gave the survivors back in 3 Nephi:
22 And then, O ye Gentiles, how can ye stand before the power of God, except ye shall repent and turn from your evil ways?
Imagine a world where the power structure of the US (military, police, etc) is gone and only the law of the jungle prevails - a system where there is no one to call; none to deliver from the rapings, pillaging, and wanton destruction from all that was good and right. This will be the situation after the great EQ - animals (in human form) will roam the streets. Every NDE I have read that speaks of these coming times, mentions these animals. My greatest distaste for this earthly experience are the animals that join gangs and live that life - and is the reason I avoid cities at all costs when it comes to raising my family. After the purging, the only place there will be safety will be in the cities of Zion. Utter chaos will abound outside those areas. Spencer nailed it down.
Each of us needs to pray for guidance in order to avoid the worst parts of this coming disaster.

ReplyDeleteI am trying to formulate a plan to study the prophecies of the Second Coming and the Signs of the times with my wife, who is like me waking up to the realities of its closeness.
Where would be a good place to start on this?
samizdat
I would start with Duane S. Crowther's "Prophecy" book. He had it figured out 50 years ago. All of his stuff, I have included in my analysis of world events so much of it is in here. For example, his book made a great case for the short war (on our east coast) followed by the big one 13 months long that all agree with what Spencer and so many others have said will come about.
ReplyDeleteWe are "in it" right now so you better get a hurry on it..... :)
IRAQ,
ReplyDeleteAmerica the great whore who has sold a boy for a harlot and girls for wine has already been torn by the remnant lion.
Prophecy fulfilled, mission accomplished.
Those refusing to repent of their whoredoms, theft, murde, sorcery and idolatry will be left behind as the remnant moves to Israel.
Don't be left behind, write me.
