JOSEPH SMITH AS A "HEARTLANDER"

To all the Sadducees and Pharisees out there who have been pumping the Mayan theory, sorry to say this - but you are off. Way off.

And yes, I know about Jake Hilton. Pray for him. He will come around and figure stuff out.

I am no Heartlander but I am not a Meso either. I served my mission in an area where many Mesos consider to be Zarahemla and its environs--the Mexico Tuxtla Gutierrez Mission. There is some compelling things there but also there are a lot of things about Meso that are off, if you try to make it all about Meso.

Two Cumorahs. Not a good idea to start with considering that the leaders of the Church only recognize one, the one where they have the pageant every year in New York.

This was when I started to look further south--in the Andes mountains of South America, as the starting place, and Meso and the Heartland as set up stages for the final battles in New York.

Ironically this is what Elder Talmage details in his work "Jesus the Christ" which if I recall is STILL in the Missionary Library. As close to an official proclamation or a standard work that you are going to get without it being an official proclamation or standard work.

There is this one guy that I read up on named Del Dowdell. He has a blog named NephiCode and he explains quite a few things that in his mind prove the Nephites and Lamanites were down in Peru, Ecuador, Chile, et al. I don't agree with all of his findings, certainly not his opinion that there are two Cumorahs (with his first Cumorah being in Ecuador-Colombia), but they make for interesting reading.

I hate discounting any evidence. North America has quite a bit of stuff there too.

For me I think the Book of Mormon, after carefully analyzing the texts therein, is about a 70-20-10 balance between South America, Mesoamerica, and the Heartland. For the Jaredites I see it as being an even 50 50 between Meso and the Heartland. And the migrations going from south to north, as shown in history as well as the book itself.

WHY SHOULD WE STUDY THE HIDDEN THINGS RELATED TO THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST?

But the Latter-day Saints are not in darkness; they are the children of light, although many of us will actually be asleep. We shall have to wake up and trim up our lamps, or we shall not be prepared to enter in; for we shall all slumber and sleep in that day, and some will have gone to sleep from which they will not awake until they awake up in darkness without any oil in their lamps. But, as a general thing, the Saints will understand the signs of the times. Others have their eyes closed upon the prophecies of the ancient Prophets; and not only that, but they are void of the spirit of prophecy themselves. When a man has this, though he may appeal to ancient Prophets to get understanding on some subjects he does not clearly understand, yet, as he has the spirit of prophecy in himself, he will not be in darkness; he will have a knowledge of the signs of the times; he will have a knowledge of the house of Israel, and of Zion, of the ten tribes and of many things and purposes and events that are to take place on the earth; and he will see coming events, and can say such an event will take place, and after that another, and then another; and after that the trumpet shall sound, and after that certain things will take place, and then another trump shall sound, &c., &c.; and he will have his eye fixed on the signs of the times, and that day will not overtake him unawares.

JD, O PRATT 7:190

JOSEPH SMITH SAID THOSE WHO ARE WATCHING AND WAITING, WILL KNOW THE HOUR:

"Christ says no man knoweth the day or the hour when the Son of Man cometh. This is a sweeping argument for sectarianism against Latter day ism. Did Christ speak this as a general principle throughout all generations Oh no he spoke in the present tense no man that was then liveing upon the footstool of God knew the day or the hour But he did not say that there was no man throughout all generations that should not know the day or the hour. No for this would be in flat contradiction with other scripture for the prophet says that God will do nothing but what he will reveal unto his Servants the prophets consequently if it is not made known to the Prophets it will not come to pass; again we find Paul 1st of Thesslonians 5th Chapter expressly points out the characters who shall not know the day nor the hour when the Son of Man cometh for says he it will come upon them as the theif or unawares. Who are they they are the children of darkness or night. But to the Saints he says yea are not of the night nor of darkness of that that day should come upon you unawares. John the revelator says 14 chap 7th verse that the hour of his judgements is come they are precursers or forerunners of the comeing of Christ. read Matthew 24 Chap and all the Prophets. He says then shall they see the Sign of the comeing of the Son of Man in the clouds of Heaven. How are we to see it Ans. As the lighting up of the morning or the dawning of the morning cometh from the east and shineth unto the west—So also is the comeing of the Son of Man. The dawning of the morning makes its appearance in the east and moves along gradualy so also will the comeing of the Son of Man be. it will be small at its first appearance and gradually becomes larger untill every eye shall see it. Shall the Saints understand it Oh yes. Paul says so. Shall the wicked understand Oh no they attribute it to a natural cause. They will probably suppose it is two great comets comeing in contact with each other It will be small at first and will grow larger and larger untill it will be all in a blaze so that every eye shall see it." (Joseph Smith, General Conference, April 6, 1843
