19 That say: Let him make speed, hasten his work, that we may see it; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it.
20 Wo unto them that call evil good, and good evil, that put darkness for light, and light for darkness, that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
24 Therefore, as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, their root shall be rottenness, and their blossoms shall go up as dust; because they have cast away the law of the Lord of Hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 Therefore, is the anger of the Lord kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them; and the hills did tremble, and their carcasses were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
26 And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth; and behold, they shall come with speed swiftly; none shall be weary nor stumble among them.
27 None shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken;
28 Whose arrows shall be sharp, and all their bows bent, and their horses’ hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind, their roaring like a lion.
29 They shall roar like young lions; yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry away safe, and none shall deliver.
The people today are still smitten and driven, because they still refuse to call upon the name of the Lord. Soon - very soon - the nation of Israel will be smitten completely because she refuses to bow the knee and confess that Jesus is the Lord. She will, as a nation, finally come to an understanding - but it will be at a cost. A dear cost. How much easier would it have been to come to the conclusion the easy way - than to discover it after years of pain and suffering, that will bring them to the same conclusion anyway?
George Michael of Wham 1980's fame died recently at 53. Apparently the cause of his demise was due to the partying and hedonistic lifestyle he had chosen. I wondered if it would not be due to a perforated colon or some other cause along those lines - like the demise of some of the BeeGees of the same genre. He was a raging homosexual - like most people who attain fame. Part of the "try it before you buy it crowd"..... who slide and then keep sliding down that slippery slope until they reach a new low of depravity - while declaring that they are the "enlightened" ones. George Michael's gay partner back in the 80's died of AIDS - and he never got the message about abstinence, followed by fidelity within marriage to someone of the opposite sex, so that the purposes of this creation would not be frustrated (thus the first commandment).
So, we have an entire generation who refuse to call on the name of the Son of God forevermore and declare Him their Savior - because they are "too wise" for such foolishness. And so, they will be delivered over to the buffetings of the adversary and his hellish minions until they finally reach out and confess that the ways of light and truth are good and holy - instead of the delusions of a brainwashed mind. When they reach out and call on the name of Jesus for salvation - then and only then, will they be pulled back from their tortuous path. Indeed, many would say it is a smackdown - but it is not. We agreed to this plan long before we came to this earth - we all knew we would need a Savior in order to live as beings of light - that our sin accumulated in the search for truth and wisdom and experience - would keep us from that place of light and pure truth. We accepted our Savior - and that plan. The endowment clearly teaches this - and that the alternative to it, is darkness and the absence of light and goodness. The only way out of that darkness is Jesus Christ - because He overcame all things. Any other path is foolishness - but these things are kept hidden from the "wise and prudent" who are "puffed up in their pride":
39 O, my beloved brethren, remember the awfulness in transgressing against that Holy God, and also the awfulness of yielding to the enticings of that cunning one. Remember, to be carnally-minded is death, and to be spiritually-minded is life eternal.
40 O, my beloved brethren, give ear to my words. Remember the greatness of the Holy One of Israel. Do not say that I have spoken hard things against you; for if ye do, ye will revile against the truth; for I have spoken the words of your Maker. I know that the words of truth are hard against all uncleanness; but the righteous fear them not, for they love the truth and are not shaken.
41 O then, my beloved brethren, come unto the Lord, the Holy One. Remember that his paths are righteous. Behold, the way for man is narrow, but it lieth in a straight course before him, and the keeper of the gate is the Holy One of Israel; and he employeth no servant there; and there is none other way save it be by the gate; for he cannot be deceived, for the Lord God is his name.
42 And whoso knocketh, to him will he open; and the wise, and the learned, and they that are rich, who are puffed up because of their learning, and their wisdom, and their riches—yea, they are they whom he despiseth; and save they shall cast these things away, and consider themselves fools before God, and come down in the depths of humility, he will not open unto them.
43 But the things of the wise and the prudent shall be hid from them forever—yea, that happiness which is prepared for the saints.
44 O, my beloved brethren, remember my words. Behold, I take off my garments, and I shake them before you; I pray the God of my salvation that he view me with his all-searching eye; wherefore, ye shall know at the last day, when all men shall be judged of their works, that the God of Israel did witness that I shook your iniquities from my soul, and that I stand with brightness before him, and am rid of your blood.
45 O, my beloved brethren, turn away from your sins; shake off the chains of him that would bind you fast; come unto that God who is the rock of your salvation.
46 Prepare your souls for that glorious day when justice shall be administered unto the righteous, even the day of judgment, that ye may not shrink with awful fear; that ye may not remember your awful guilt in perfectness, and be constrained to exclaim: Holy, holy are thy judgments, O Lord God Almighty—but I know my guilt; I transgressed thy law, and my transgressions are mine; and the devil hath obtained me, that I am a prey to his awful misery.
47 But behold, my brethren, is it expedient that I should awake you to an awful reality of these things? Would I harrow up your souls if your minds were pure? Would I be plain unto you according to the plainness of the truth if ye were freed from sin?
I saw pics of George Michael taken recently. He gained A LOT of weight. He looked like he was over 300 lbs. The article said he skipped out on attending Christmas mass the night before and has been a recluse due to his struggle with weight gain.
ReplyDeleteI think the drugs and weight were to much of a strain on his heart. And yes, you are right, his homosexual lifestyle was an affront to God.
Yet, we see the masses flocking to bring flowers and leave notes on his doorstep that literally say, "You will always be our idol."
The world is truly ripening for destruction. These days, it can be life threatening for speaking and living the Truth. The righteous are being encroached upon to not only tolerate abominable acts and lifestyles but to embrace it as well. To which I answer, "Never!"
Those who choose wickedness are beloved and heralded and put upon pedestals for all to admire and worship. I'm so sick of seeing Kim Kartrashian's face every day online. And if you think the Obama's are going away, think again. These arrogant, attention/power craving people will stick it out as the next Bill and Hillary. I can't stand the thought of it.
And the truly righteous better wake up and stop thinking Trump is going to save the world. Stop putting trust in the arm of flesh! So many blindly cling to his words that mirror their own frustrations and turn a blind eye to his filthy speech, thoughts, and actions toward women and handicapped people that show him anything but a man of God.
Our God ISN'T a deal maker! It's His way or the highway.
Israel is under attack. Dark clouds are gathering. Turkey is going after Syria. The hosts of hell are gathering against Israel. The U.S. just turned it's back and threw Jerusalem to the wolves. Surely the judgments of God are staring the United States in the face and something bad has to come of it.
Trump is being used by God and nothing more. Never ever forget the God of Israel is the One pulling EVERY string. Look to Him. Trust in Him. Call out to HIM over everything and never stop.
Satan does not fear one who does not pray.
Oh, and I think Julie Rowe really got it wrong about the entire month of December. Nobody in UT is helping to look for lost loved ones or help with clean up after a big earthquake during the holiday season instead of buying presents. No excuse for her now as she clearly stated these things for this month per her last radio interview.
Read the scriptures and trust in God's Word/Spirit instead. It's truly the only reliable source of Truth for discerning the signs of the times.
Julie was wrong.
ReplyDeleteI don't pretend to understand anything about dreams or these kinds of spiritual gifts, but it seems to me that the Lord's timing is a bit fluid depending on the choices his children make. Is it possible that Julie (and a host of others) can see things correctly but misinterpret their timing? Suzanne Freeman published a book about various outcomes in the short term while the long term still results in destruction. Like Jonas and the city of Ninevah. The people listened to him and prayed and avoided their consequences, but then turned away layer and the prophesied destruction came. Perhaps Julie sees events, even layers of events, which she shares according to her interpretation of timing. I haven't been throwing out her general message. What a burden for this good woman to carry, and others like her with this spiritual gift.
ReplyDeleteDid you actually listen to her last radio interview?
DeleteSamuel the Lamanite prophesied of the Messiah's birth 5 years ahead and guess what?, it occurred five years later. Lehi prophesied the Messiah would come 600 years after he left Jerusalem. HE did. The Savior prophesied that the Nephites would fall away 400 years after His coming and they did.
Suzanne Freeman never claimed to be a "messenger" of the Lord like Julie Rowe does. Everyone keeps sweeping this fact under the rug but it's the 600 pound gorilla in the room singing an Italian opera.
Prophets prophesy and it comes to pass. Prophets are messengers of God who speak as He commands them to share.
We have a prophet who didn't tell us an earthquake was going to occur during December and it didn't. Why do you and others pay more heed to her words than his? Why does God keep his mouth shut and open Julie's concerning such events so the people can repent? Does she have more authority?
Julie Rowe claims to be on the Lord's errand as well under His command to share her visions of the future which falls under the definition of a prophet/ess.
She declared Black Friday is going to be VERY dark and violent. It wasn't. She said we'd be short on supplies and to buy them 2 weeks before Black Friday occurred. I had NO problem buying any supplies up to and beyond Black Friday. She said the earthquake was VERY close and alluded it would occur on or before the 2016 Christmas holiday and to instead prepare to help when it happened. IT DIDN'T.
Stop making excuses for her along with everyone else.
She made predictions that DID NOT OCCUR! And she is on dangerous ground saying she's on a mission from God to make such warnings/predictions.
She told Mils Crenshaw, may his memory be blessed, that this past election was going to be messed up and alluded it may not even occur. The election came and went.
Please, tell me how her spiritual gift is apparent and obvious to you. Can anyone prove to me thus far she has an obvious spiritual gift? She says she is not a prophetess and I totally agree.
Witnesses saw Jonah's GOD calm the waters calm AFTER Jonah said they would if they cast him/Jonah into the sea. Jonah was a real prophet.
Everyone always throws out the Joel 2:28 scripture in defense of the NDE people and NEVER acknowledges the two words "after that" preceding the famous verses about dreams/visions. "After that" is after ALL EVENTS that have been prophesied to occur in the preceding verses/Joel 2:1-27 which HAVEN'T EVEN occurred yet!
Following Julie Rowe and others like her is like living on borrowed Light. I will learn what GOD has to say about the future in His written Word written by prophets. I will live to have His Spirit to be my guide for my personal life for "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet". And I will pay heed to whomever His living Prophet is.
That's enough for everybody until they are able to gaze into Heaven for at least 5 minutes. Because then they'd know MORE than ALL that has ever been written on the subject according to the Prophet Joseph Smith, may his memory be blessed.
I agree with the last commenter. I believe Julie has seen these things but her mortal mind has misinterpreted the timing.
ReplyDeleteSo...it's okay to get people worked up to make life altering decisions, or worse yet, become complacent, mocking, and unbelievers, based on the wrong predictions of end time events by someone claiming to be sent by God.
DeleteGod doesn't work that way. Not in a spirit of fear and panic. And His messengers don't get it wrong.
"Ok Julie, we'll wait and see what happens next Black Friday, Christmas, and with the next presidential election. Oh and you said that after the earthquake THIS MONTH, next year this time we'll see mushroom clouds. Are you sure the angels who visited you moved the earthquake status from "soon" to "imminent"? It's been almost a year now."
The gorilla's getting bigger and the singing louder.
One word... Ninevah
ReplyDeleteYes, God does think it's ok to get people worked up.
Really? NO HE DOESN'T. He would rather His people "lech lalech" as He spoke to Avraham. Try studying the Bible in the language it was originally written in, Hebrew, to know His thoughts and intentions about His people. Then comment when you actually know something about the mind and will of Avinu Shabashamayim.
DeleteMy family and I didn't alter our course (or our supplies) after listening to Julie's comments. We chalked them up as interesting simply because we do follow the prophet and try to be guided by the Holy Ghost and the impressions to be prepared. My husband and I have tried to be thoughtful. We have learned to not jerk into action when those who share their visions or NDE experiences speak. It is certainly an enticing temptation to let them be our guide rather than the Spirit. We don't want this kind of stumbling block to confuse us from authoritative and prophetic messages. However, we do feel grateful to those who have had marvelous experiences for trying to be in tune and sharing as they feel they have been led to. We think they are brave.You must be close to alot of people misled and relying too much upon their own knee jerk reactions to what people share because you sound like you are filled with alot of anger. You seem very personally hurt by her. I hope I have not added to the anger.
ReplyDeleteI imagine Sister Rowe (she is our sister in the gospel) won't be on the radio for a while. As you said, she doesn't claim to be a prophetess but a witness. Bless her for teaching (imperfectly) people to turn toward the Lord according to what has been witnessed to her and bless you for trying to help people focus on the inspired direction of those who hold the keys. We live in a marvelous time. Despite my frustration, fears and anxiety over a wicked world which is constantly berating and interfering in my family life, I am continuously grateful for our leaders and good men and women who teach us to trust in the Lord and his promises.
I completely wash my hands in the obvious ignorance and blindness of some of your readers IRAQ concerning false prophets who claim to be on a "mission" VERBATIM from God and then make FALSE TIMELINED PREDICTIONS ONE AFTER ANOTHER that fail to produce fruit from their words.
DeleteNo, I am not "full of anger" and no, I have not been personally hurt by Julie Rowe only to the extent I spent money on her books and told people about her 2016 election, and December CHAOS that didn't occur.
She would be wise to shut her mouth with definite timelines/predictions that don't occur because only prophets of God are given that gift. Seers.
May 3, 2016 Bryan Hyde interviews Julie Rowe and this is what she says, QUOTE:
Delete"I want to be very clear that The Lord does give dates sometimes when He needs us to know them, but that doesn’t mean that we share them. Yet I have been given permission to be very bold today to let you know that we have some very imminent things coming upon us within a matter of days. It can be a very overwhelming message, not just for me but I think for everyone. It’s a divisive message because it’s a sifting message." UNQUOTE
7 months later..........nothing imminent has occurred to warrant the level of coverage Michael Jackson got when he died.
President Benson met my friend, Sally, as she was leaving the Ogden temple one day many years ago. He asked her, "Young lady do you have your food storage?" There's going to be an earthquake."
No, the PROPHET didn't give her a date, use the words "coming upon us in a matter of days", "soon", or "imminent", nor tell her that his was a divisive and sifting message. He just said, "There's going to be an earthquake."
He did, however, tell us the Book of Mormon is THE great sifter.
I will never forget Sally telling me this story. Sally was as about a serious, no nonsense, person you would ever meet. I sat at her kitchen table when she paid her family's tithing in full leaving them just 67 cents in their checking account for two weeks until her husband was paid again, and left it up to the Lord to provide and He never let them down because they always had enough food storage to make it. There would be no reason whatsoever for her to have made this up and it electrified me when she gave a recount.
Her choice of words are akin to Chicken Little and I think that's why she catches so much flack.
Although I believe Spencer's account, it still isn't verifiable until it all happens. But he made it clear it was a personal vision for him alone and that he was sharing and was reluctant to do so from the get go. He didn't claim to be on a mission from God.
Julie Rowe is not a bad person, but she comes across misleading and unreliable and it's her own doing.
The ONLY one verifiable at this point that I can tell is SARAH MENET.
She was documented on video in the late 70's giving an account of the twin towers coming down after her NDE.
Her timeline of events of all the NDE's is the one that deserves to be thoroughly examined and put together as to the order things will occur. Or as close to it as we can come up with under inspiration.
On a final note from the Fox Business Channel...
The brick and mortar stores are going under. Macy's is laying off 10k and closing 68 stores. Online shopping is king.
I heard and realized something chilling in that report. Soon...it will be easy to control buying and selling...no?
AMAZON sold 1 billion items during the holiday season. Amazon....a ferocious female online shopping warrior who rules and rides the buying selling beast in the cyber WWW666 jungle.
See how easy it is for prophecy to come rolling along and how easy it is to miss the small details of who the players are and how history will unfold?
Guess we'll see.
