TEMPLE MOUNT AND THE LAST DAYS

HERE IS A POST THAT I SUBMITTED TO A DISCUSSION BOARD ON EVENTS ON THE TEMPLE MOUNT AND WHEN/HOW THE JEWS WILL BUILD THEIR TEMPLE BEFORE THE RETURN OF THE LORD:

Yes, the existing structure on TM has to be destroyed/removed (Al Aqsa has been destroyed no less than 7 times since its inception to subvert the plan of God - read large earthquake). Also please note that we have an impostor on our "holy site" in the NJ - except the Comm. of Christ's "dome" is copper clad as opposed to gold. Likewise, that must come down, as well for God's people Ephraim/Manasseh to reclaim what is theirs.

I agree with those on this post that are calling out the 'anti-zionists' - they should stop and repent, study up on this topic and recognize God's hand in bringing Israel home. The adversary has always thrown up obstacles to attempt to interrupt God's holy work. The moslems who have played into those plans have even gone to the extent of planting a cemetery in front of the East Gate in Israel in an attempt to thwart the Son of Man, the Great High Priest, from entering triumphantly (and ritually clean) and claiming His temple (that Judah has built as their offering in faith to HIM). It is amazing the machinations that body of people (Palestinians, Jordanians, etc.) are going thru to attempt to deny God's people their inheritance - far more insidious than anything Boggs and others historically have done to the children of Ephraim in their quest for Zion and the NJ.

Yes, Judah will have to build the temple that will rival Herod's and Solomon's in nature, size, etc. I believe after the existing structure is brought down (not by the Israelis, but by God in an act of God), then the UN or some other mediating body will work to come up with a solution that will meet all needs - otherwise there would be a bloodbath from almost any alternative scenario.

The Jerusalem center may be used for traditional purposes (work for the living and the dead) as that nation (and the Arabs) will be converted in a day and there will be immense amounts of work to do when that comes about.

For more information about what is going on over there, go and see:

www.templemountfaithful.org

There is a whole body of very dedicated Jews and Christian friends who want things to go forward, if only on God's timeline. My wife and I are interested in donating 1/2 to 1 oz. of gold towards the lavers, etc. for the sacred edifice so that our interest is immortalized in a small contribution to the cause. Go here for more info:

https://www.templeinstitute.org/donate.htm

Pretty great stuff. If we support Israel as a nation, we swim - anything else and we sink. Our new POTUS needs to get that through his thick head. We can be friends to the moslem world while still supporting Israel and advancing their cause and urging moderation and humane treatment of those that were there "squatting" and simply taking care of their families. If there is no compassion in their treatment, condemnation will come upon Israel for not following good principle and protocol upon their fellow brothers and children of Abraham.

PREPAREDNESS QUOTES

THOUGHT THESE WERE GREAT AND TOO GOOD NOT TO PUT ON THE BLOG.


"And the time will come, when we shall find ourselves restricted, and when it will be very important indeed for us to patronize home productions, and cease sending our millions abroad for importations, for the gate will be shut down, and circumstances will be such that we cannot bring things from abroad; and hence, the necessity of the exhortation that we have received from time to time, to engage with all our hearts in the various branches of industry necessary to make us self-sustaining and to carry them out with all the tact and wisdom which God has given to us, that we may become free and independent in all these matters, free before the heavens, and free from all nations of the earth and their productions, so as being dependent upon them is concerned.” Orson Pratt 1875

“I ask you earnestly, have you provided for your family a year's supply of food, clothing, and where possible, fuel? The revelation to produce and store food may be as essential to our temporal welfare today as boarding the ark was to the people in the days of Noah.” Ezra Taft Benson 1987

“I stand before the Church this day and raise the warning voice. It is a prophetic voice, for I shall say only what the apostles and the prophets have spoken concerning our day. ...It is a voice calling upon the Lord's people to prepare for the troubles and desolations which are about to be poured upon the world without measure. For the moment, we live in a day of peace and prosperity but it shall not ever be thus. Great trials lie ahead. All of the sorrows and perils of the past are but a foretaste of what is yet to be. And we must prepare ourselves temporally and spiritually.” Bruce R. McKonkie 1979

“The counsel to have a year's supply of basic food, clothing, and commodities was given fifty years ago and has been repeated many times since. Every father and mother are the family's store keepers. They should store whatever their own family would like to have in the case of an emergency...store a year's supply...that might keep us form starving in case of emergency.” James E. Faust 1986

“We feel the need to emphasize with greater clarity the obligation for members of the Church to become more independent and self reliant.” Gordon B. Hinckley 1983

“On the average, about 30 percent of the church has a two-month supply of food. The remainder have little or none...become self-sufficient as possible to prepare against the days to come.” Bishop H. Burke Peterson 1975

“Too often we bask in our comfortable complacency and rationalize that the ravages of war, economic disaster, famine, and earthquake ... cannot happen here. Those who believe this are either not acquainted with the revelations of the Lord, or they do not believe them. Those who smugly think these calamities will not happen, that they will somehow be set aside because of the righteousness of the Saints, are deceived and will rue the day they harbored such a delusion. The Lord has warned and forewarned us against a day of great tribulation and given us counsel through His servants, on how we can be prepared for these difficult times. Have we heeded His counsel?” Ezra Taft Benson 1980

“The kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God on the earth will be combined together at Christ's coming - and that time is not far distant. How I wish we could get the vision of this work, the genius of it, and realize the nearness of that great event. I am sure it would have a sobering effect upon us if we realized what is before us.” Gordon B. Hinckley 1992

“Many more people could ride out the storm-tossed waves in their economic lives if they had their year’s supply of food … and were debt-free. Today we find that many have followed this counsel in reverse: they have at least a year’s supply of debt and are food-free.” Thomas S. Monson 2001

“A great many have taken this counsel, and they are prepared...Who is deserving of praise? The persons who take care of themselves, or the ones who always trust in the great mercies of the Lord to take care of them? It is just as consistent to expect that the Lord will supply us with fruit when we do not plant the trees; or that, when we do not plow and sow and are saved the labor of harvesting, we should cry to the Lord to save us from want, as to ask Him to save us from the consequences of our own folly, disobedience and waste..."The Lord has said, 'Gather and save the produce I put within your reach, and prepare against a day of want.” Brigham Young

“Will you be slack, brethren, and let the evil come upon us, when we forewarn you of the future events that are coming;... We are telling of what the prophets have said-of what the Lord has said to Joseph. Wake up now, wake up, O Israel, and lay up your grain and your stores. I tell you that there is trouble coming upon the world...” Heber C. Kimball

For the righteous, the gospel provides a warning before calamity, a program for the crises, refuge for each disaster... The Lord has warned us of famines, but the righteous will have listened to the prophets and stored at least one year's supply of survival food...” Ezra Taft Benson 1973

“The little gardens and a few trees are very valuable. I remember when the sisters used to say, `well, but we could buy it at the store a lot cheaper than we could put it up.' But that isn't quite the answer, is it, Sister Spafford? Because there will become a time when there isn't a store.” Spencer W. Kimball 1974

“Lay up your stores, and take your silks and fine things and exchange them for grain and such things as you need and the time will come when we will be obliged to depend upon our own resources.; for the time is not far distant when the curtain will be dropped between us and the United States. When that time comes, brethren and sisters, you will wish you had commenced sooner to make your own clothing. I tell you God requires us to go into home manufacture; and prolong it as much as you like, you have got to do it.” Heber C. Kimball

“We encourage families to have on hand this year's supply and we say it over and over and over, and repeat over and over the scripture of the Lord where He says, `Why call ye me, Lord, and do not as I say?'... We also hope that you are maintaining your year's supply of food, clothing, and where possible, some fuel and cash savings.” Spencer W. Kimball 1976

“Let every head of every household see to it that he has on hand enough food and clothing, and, where possible, fuel also, for at least a year ahead” J. Reuben Clark 1937

“Should the Lord decide at this time to cleanse the Church .. a famine in this land of one year's duration could wipe out a large percentage of slothful members, including some ward and stake officers. Yet we cannot say we have not been warned.” Ezra Taft Benson 1965

“Noah heeded God’s command to build an ark...that they might be saved from the floodwaters…Yet there was no evidence of rain and flood…His actions were considered irrational…The sun was shining and life moved forward as usual. But time ran out…The floods came, the disobedient were drowned… When God speaks and we obey, we will always be right.” Thomas S. Monson 2002

"Thus, clearly the Lord has placed the responsibility for directing the work of gathering in the hands of the leaders of the church to whom He will reveal His will where and when such gatherings would take place in the future. It would be well before the frightening events concerning the fulfillment of all God's promises and predictions are upon us, that the saints in every land prepare themselves and look forward to the instruction that shall come to them from the First Presidency of this church as to where they shall be gathered and not be disturbed in their feelings until such instruction is given to them as it is revealed by the Lord to the proper authority." Harold B. Lee (Improvement Era, June 1948, page 320)

"It may be, for instance, that nothing except the power of faith and the authority of the priesthood can save individuals and congregations from the atomic holocausts that surely shall be. And so we raise the warning voice and say: take heed; prepare; watch and be ready. There is no security in any course except the course of obedience and conformity and righteousness." Bruce R. McConkie (Conference report, April 1979, pages 132-133)

JOHN TAYLOR HORSESHOE PROPHECY

THIS IS THE LATEST THING I HAVE DUG UP....

FITS ALL THE OTHERS.

Monday, 25 August 2008 09:13

A Remarkable Prophecy By President John Taylor As Told by Edward Lunt, An Ordinance Worker in the Mesa Temple

The following incident occurred at my father's home in Cedar City, at the time a stake conference was being held in that city, at which President John Taylor and George A. Smith were present.

Apostle Smith was asked to conduct the conference, as President Taylor wished to rest after his having held meetings in the different wards and stakes between Salt Lake City and Cedar City. President Taylor asked Elder George A. Smith to start the conference, as he wished to rest until the afternoon meeting. President Taylor, with some of the authorities, was staying at the home of my parents during this conference.

President Taylor wished to go to his room and lie down. He asked my mother to awaken him in time for the afternoon conference, as he feared he might oversleep and thus fail to arrive at the conference in time.
My mother was busy preparing dinner for the visitors but was surprised to see President Taylor come into the kitchen so soon after retiring for his much needed rest. He immediately started telling mother of a most remarkable vision that he had just had while in his room.

He stated that he saw that Salt Lake City would become a great city with many beautiful paved roads and streets of cement construction, and that the people had become wealthy. He saw that the city extended almost to the point of the mountain south of the new 1951 State prison.

The people, he saw, had become quite indifferent to the counsel and advice of the authorities of the church, and were more interested in the accumulation of wealth than they were in living their religion. He told mother that he saw that war had been started, and that so great was the destruction of life within the city that blood ran down the gutters as though it were streams of water, and the violence was such that it would cause the destruction of the beautiful city. The people were fighting among themselves until it became necessary to remove the church records across the Colorado river.

President Taylor said to mother, "If you are alive at that time, be sure that you are not behind the Church records, because after the Church records leave and are made secure, the very powers of hell would be turned loose, and there will be such destruction that there will be but little life remain, ---not only in Salt Lake City, but in adjoining cities also. And in Jackson County, Missouri civilization will become entirely extinct, and all means of transportation such as rail roads and highways will be destroyed, and the only means of travel will be on foot.

All means of manufacturing will also be entirely destroyed. Be sure when you see these things come that you have buttons, needles, cloth and things to work with as much as possible, to make yourselves clothing, because all tools and every kind of machinery will be destroyed. It will be such a destructive war that in comparison to the sufferings and the drivings of the people of Nauvoo, it would be only a drop in the bucket.

"One half of the Mormon people will entirely forsake their leaders, and half of the other half, because of their suffering, will leave the church. Many Mormons will die in the struggle, but the Lord will bless those who stick faithfully to the church and will bless them to the extent that they will not be destroyed."

He said that faithful Latter-day Saints would go to the south and would form a circle something like a horseshoe, before they return to Jackson County, Missouri. Said he, "Those only will be privileged to help build Jackson County who will be found willing and glad to obey the counsel and advice of the authorities who will be placed over them, and who will seek counsel that they may be guided and protected from dire want and distress.

President Taylor also said that we will assist the Lamanites in building the New Jerusalem in Jackson county. He said that the vision to him appeared so terrible that he besought the Lord to close it up, but he saw that those who would keep the commandments and adhere to the authorities of the church would be the ones who would survive and not be destroyed. And that the lord would protect them as he did the children of Israel.

The above experience my mother told to me many, many times; and she held this great experience very sacred.

Subscribed and sworn to this 28th day of June, 1951.

WARS TO CLEANSE AMERICA

SOME PEOPLE LIKE TO GET HIGH-MINDED AND THINK THAT THEY ARE ABOVE REPROACH. REMEMBER THAT ANY CLEANSING WILL START AMONG THOSE THAT SHOULD KNOW BETTER. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT, JUST TAKE A GANDER AT WHAT A MODERN PROPHET HAD TO SAY:

President Benson talked very clearly about this growing division in the Church that we are experiencing. He said:
“Sometimes we hear someone refer to a division in the Church. In reality, the
Church is not divided. It simply means that there are some who, for the time
being at least, are members of the Church but not in harmony with it. These
people have a temporary membership and influence in the Church; but unless
they repent, they will be missing when the final membership records are
recorded.
“It is well that our people understand this principle, so they will not be misled
by those apostates within the Church who have not yet repented or been cut off.
But there is a cleansing coming. The Lord says that his vengeance shall be
poured out "upon the inhabitants of the earth. . . . And upon my house shall it
begin, and from my house shall it go forth, saith the Lord; First among those
among you, saith the Lord, who have professed to know my name and have not
known me. . . ." (D&C 112:24-26.) I look forward to that cleansing; its need
within the Church is becoming increasingly apparent.

BIBLE, LUKE 12:51-53


51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

JD, J TAYLOR 20:318


Were we surprised when the last terrible war took place here in the United States? No; good Latter-day Saints were not, for they had been told about it. Joseph Smith had told them where it would start, that it should be a terrible time of bloodshed and that it should start in South Carolina. But I tell you today the end is not yet. You will see worse things than that, for God will lay his hand upon this nation, and they will feel it more terribly than ever they have done before; there will be more bloodshed, more ruin, more devastation than never they have seen before. Write it down! You will see it come to pass; it is only just starting in. And would you feel to rejoice? No; I would feel sorry. I knew very well myself when this last war was commencing, and could have wept and did weep, over this nation; but there is yet to come a sound of war, trouble and distress, in which brother will be arrayed against brother, father against son, son against father, a scene of desolation and destruction that will permeate our land until it will be a vexation to hear the report thereof.

JD, O PRATT 12:344


The time will come when there will be no safety in carrying on the peaceable pursuits of farming or agriculture. But these will be neglected, and the people will think themselves well off if they can flee from city to city, from town to town and escape with their lives. Thus will the Lord visit the people, if they will not repent. Thus will He pour out His wrath and indignation upon them and make manifest to the people that that which he has spoken must be fulfilled.

JD, O PRATT 20:151


But what about the American nation. That war that destroyed the lives of some fifteen or sixteen hundred thousand people was nothing, compared to that which will eventually devastate that country. The time is not very far distant in the future, when the Lord God will lay his hand heavily upon that nations. "How do you know this? inquires one." I know from the revelations which God has given upon this subject. I read these revelations, when they were first given. I waited over twenty-eight years and saw their fulfillment to the very letter. Should I not, then, expect that the balance of them should be fulfilled? That same God who gave the revelations to his servant Joseph Smith in regard to these matters, will fulfil every jot and every tittle that has been spoken, concerning that nation. What then will be the condition of that people, when this great and terrible war shall come? It will be very different from the war between the North and the South. Do you wish me to describe it? I will do so. It will be a war of neighborhood against neighborhood, city against city, town against town, county against county, state against state, and they will go forth destroying and being destroyed and manufacturing will, in a great measure, cease, for a time, among the American nation. Why? Because in these terrible wars, they will not be privileged to manufacture, there will be too much bloodshed--too much mobocracy--too much going forth in bands and destroying and pillaging the land to suffer people to pursue any local vocation with any degree of safety. What will become of millions of the farmers upon that land? They will leave their farms and they will remain uncultivated, and they will flee before the ravaging armies from place to place; and thus will they go forth burning and pillaging the whole country; and that great and powerful nation, now consisting of some forty millions of people, will be wasted away, unless they repent.

TPJS, J SMITH :161


I saw men hunting the lives of their own sons, and brother murdering brother, women killing their own daughters, and daughters seeking the lives of their mothers. I saw armies arrayed against armies. I saw blood, desolation, fires. The Son of man has said that the mother shall be against the daughters, and the daughter against the mother. These things are at our doors. They will follow the Saints of God from city to city. Satan will rage, and the spirit of the devil is now enraged. I know not how soon these things will take place; but with a view of them, shall I cry peace? No; I will lift up my voice and testify of them. How long you will have good crops, and the famine be kept off, I do not know; when the fig tree leaves, know then that the summer is nigh at hand.



econd Great Rebellion or Chicago Quote - A. Milton Musser papers, LDS Church Archives.

This was a letter from Nephi Packard to A. Milton Musser on July 24, 1896:

"... My brother, Noah Packard, says that he heard the Prophet Joseph say that the next great (U.S. civil) war after the war of the rebellion (the Civil War of the 1860's between the North and the South) would commence in a little town now called Chicago but at that time it would have grown to be a very large city. And another brother told me that the Prophet said that the cause of the next great trouble of the United States would be the depreciation of the currency of the United States. I believe I have given you all the facts in as short and concise manner as possible."

Another quote regarding the Civil War itself comes from an interview by Dr. Poulson with David Whitmer, printed in the Deseret News on Friday, August 16, 1878:

Question: When will the temple be built in Independence?

Answer: Right after the great tribulation is over

Question: What do you mean by that?

Answer: A civil war more bloody and cruel than the rebellion. It will be the smashing up of this nation, about which time the second great work has to be done, a work like Joseph did, and the translation of the sealed plates and peace all over.


AND HERE IS EVEN SOME MORE GOOD STUFF FROM A GREAT LITTLE BLOG ABOUT PROPHECY IN AMERICA:

United States In Prophecy

Joseph Smith:
...I prophesy in the name of the Lord God of Israel, unless the United States redress the wrongs committed upon the Saints in the State of Missouri and punish the crimes committed by her officers that in a few years the government will be utterly overthrown and wasted, and there will not be so much as a potsherd left, for their wickedness in permitting the murder of men, women and children, and the wholesale plunder and extermination of thousands of her citizens to go unpunished. — Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pp. 302-303.

Joseph Smith:
This generation is a corrupt as the generation of the Jews that crucified Christ; and if he were here today, and should preach the same doctrines he did then, they would put Him to death. — Doc. Hist. of the Church, Vol. 6, p. 58.

Joseph Smith:
...and now I am prepared to say by the authority of Jesus Christ, that not many years shall pass away before the United States shall present such a scene of bloodshed as has not a parallel in the history of our nation; pestilence, hail, famine, and earthquake will sweep the wicked of this generation from off the face of the land, to open and prepare the way for the return of the lost tribes of Israel from the north country. — Ibid., Vol. I, pp. 315-316.

Doctrine & Covenants:
Thy brethren have rejected you and your testimony, even the nation that has driven you out; And now cometh the day of their calamity, even the days of sorrow, like a woman that is taken in travail; and their sorrow shall be great unless they speedily repent, yea, very speedily. For they killed the prophets, and them that were sent unto them; and they have shed innocent blood, which crieth from the ground against them. — Section 136:34-36.

Brigham Young:
The nation that kills the prophets of God in any age must expect to reap cursings instead of blessings, unless it speedily repent. Judgment must begin at the house of God first, and we are perfectly willing it should. I told General Kane that the Government of the United States would be shivered to pieces. — Journal of Discourses 12:119.

Brigham Young:
Joseph said that if they succeeded in taking his life, which they did, war and confusion would come upon the nation, and they would destroy each other, and there would mob upon mob from one end of the country to the other. Have they got through? No, they have only just commenced the work of wasting life and property. — JD 10:255.

John Taylor:
Joseph Smith had told them where it would start, that it would be a terrible time of bloodshed and that it should start in South Carolina. But I tell you today the end is not yet. You will see worse things than that, for God will lay his hand upon this nation, and they will feel it more terribly than ever they have done before; there will be more bloodshed, more ruin, more devastation than ever they have seen before. — JD 20:318.

Heber C. Kimball:
The President of this nation and his brethren in office, with all the rulers and all the priests, have sanctioned the destruction of this people. Yes, the President and all his coadjutors have sanctioned our death as much as I they had taken our lives, and they are a bloodthirsty nation. They have killed our Prophets, Patriarchs and Apostles, and they have slain, or caused to fall, thousands yea, thousands of our brethren and sisters, our wives, our fathers and our mothers; and they shall see the same fulfilled upon themselves, and it shall be measured to them double for all they have dealt out unto us. — JD 5:218.

The Book of Revelation:
For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled, fill unto her double. How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow giver her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire; for strong is the Lord god who judgeth her. And in here was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth. — 19:5-8, 24.

Wilford Woodruff:
When I contemplate the condition of our nation, and see that wickedness and abominations are increasing, so much so that the whole heavens groan and weep over the abominations of this nation and the nations of the earth, I aks myself the question, can the American nation escape? The answer comes, No; its destruction, as well as the destruction of the world, is sure; just as sure as the Lord cut off and destroyed the two great nations that once inhabited this continent of North and South America because of their sin, so will he them destroy, and sooner or later they will reap the fruits of their own wicked acts, and be numbered among the past. I cannot help it; I would to God they would repent, that their eyes might be opened to see their condition; but the devil has power over them; he rules the children of men, he holds Babylon in his own hand, and leads the people withersoever he will. There are changes awaiting us, they are even nigh at our very doors, and I know it by the revelations of Jesus Christ; I know it by the visions of heaven, I know it by the administrations of angels, and I know it by the inspiration of heaven, that is given to all men who seek the Lord; and the hand of God will not stay these things. We have no time to lose. — JD 21:301.

WILFORD WOODRUFF'S DREAM:
I was in a dream in the City of Salt Lake wandering around the streets. In all parts of the city on the doors of the houses I found badges of mourning and I could not find a house that was not in mourning.... The next I knew I was just this side of Omaha. It seemed I was above the earth, and looking down at it. As I passed along upon my way east, I saw the road full of people, mostly women, with just what they could carry in bundles on their backs traveling to the mountains on foot. ...Everywhere I went I saw the same scenes of horror and destruction was everywhere. ...I supposed this was the end, but no. I was given to understand that the same horrors were being enacted all over the country — East, West, North, South. — Prophetic Years, Anderson, p. 54.

Daniel:
Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them in pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. — 2:34-35.

Brigham Young:
God has come out of his hiding place, and has commenced to vex the nation that has rejected us, and he will vex it with a sore vexation. It will not be patched up it never can come together again but it will be sifted with a sieve of vanity, and in a short time it willbe like water spilled on the ground, and like chaff upon the summer threshing floor, until those wicked steward are cut off. — JD 8:324.

Millennial Star:
This generation shall be visited by an overflowing scourge. Of the precise nature of it we are not informed. It shall pass over the nations night and day. The affect of this visitation will be so direful and calamitous that the reports of its terrible ravages will fill all people with vexation. The operations of this fear-inspiring and destructive agent will continue until the appearance of the Lord in his glory.
Some of the judgment are definite as to locality. As an instance may be cited the approaching disruption of the Unites States of America. One of the horrors announced by the prophet upon that nation is now a matter of history the war of the Rebellion. Another and more appalling condition awaits that ill-fated people. It shall fall upon them like the visitation of a whirlwind, sweeping the country like a mighty flood. The populace will be divided into innumerable factions, and blood, carnage and woe will be rampant among them, filling the hearts of the more peacefully disposed with fear and dismay. Many will laugh at such a prediction, but, unless the people repent, it will come as surely as night follows day. Weakened and powerless from internal broils and disturbances, the nation will become a prey to the remnants left of the aboriginal inhabitants, who will be filled with vengeful rage at the wrongs that have been perpetrated upon them and furiously spread destruction in every direction. 13 Sept., 1880, p. 584-587.

Jedediah M. Grant:
It is no matter how much they deal in compromised measures, or how often they try to adjust difficulties around them it is a stern fact that the people of the United States have shed the blood of the Prophets, driven out the Saints of God, rejected the Priesthood, and set at naught the holy Gospel; and the result of rejecting the Gospel has been, in every age, a visitation from the chastening hand of the Almighty which chastisement will be administered in proportion to the magnitude and enormity of their crimes. Consequently I look for the Lord to use His whip on the refractory son called "Uncle Sam;" I expect to see him chastised among the first of the nations. I think Uncle Sam is one of the Lord's boys that he will take the rod to first, and make him dance nimbly to his own tune of "Oh! Oh!!" for his transgressions, for his high mindedness and loftiness, for his evil, for rejecting the Gospel, and causing the earth to drink the blood of the Saints for this, I say, I expect he will be well switched among the first of the sons.

Orson Hyde:
Joseph Smith once said, on the stand at Nauvoo, Ill., "That if the Government of the United States did not redress the wrongs of the Mormon people inflicted upon them in the State of Missouri, the whole nation should be distracted by mobs from one end to the other; and that they would have mobs to the full, and to their hearts' content." — Mill. Star, May 3, 1862, Vol. 24, No. 18.

Wilford Woodruff:
Our nation was under no condemnation in this respect until the light came and they heard the Gospel, rejected it, and cast out the Saints from their midst, slaying their leaders and depriving thousands of the Latter-day Saints who were American citizens, of every blessing, right and privilege guaranteed unto them by the Constitution and the laws of the United States. — JD 6:117.

B. H. Roberts:
I should have been pleased, could time possibly have been had, to present to you the full indictment that is being made against the United States for the lawlessness of its people, the increase of crime during the last twenty years especially, and especially those crimes of violence that end in murder, in its various degrees. In these higher crimes the United States of America is the most criminal nation on earth today. — Improvement Era, 26:164-5.

The Book of Ether:
Wherefore, O ye Gentiles, it is wisdom in God that these things should be shown unto you, that thereby ye may repent of your sins, and suffer not that these murderous combinations shall get above you, which are built up to get power and gain and the work, yea, even the work of destruction come upon you, yea, even the sword of the justice of the Eternal God shall fall upon you, to your overthrow and destruction if ye shall suffer these things to be. — 8:23.

Orson Pratt:
But what about the American nation? That war the destroyed the lives of some fifteen or sixteen hundred thousand people was nothing, compared to that which will eventually devastate that country. The time is not very far distant in the future, when the Lord will lay his hand heavily upon that nation... That same God who gave the revelation to his servant Joseph Smith in regard to these matters, will fulfill every jot and tittle that has been spoken, concerning that nation. What then will be the condition of that people, when this great and terrible war shall come? It will be very different from the war between the North and the South. Do you wish me to describe it? I will do so. It will be a war of neighborhood against neighborhood, city against city, town against town, country against country, state against state, and they will go forth destroying and being destroyed, and manufacturing will, in a great measure, cease, for a time, among the American nation. Why? Because in these terrible wars, they will not be privileged to manufacture, there will be too much bloodshed — too much mobocracy — too much going around in bands and destroying and pillaging the land to suffer people to pursue any local vocation with any degree of safety. What will become of millions of the farmers upon the land? They
will leave their farms and they will remain uncultivated, and they will flee before the ravaging armies from place to place; and thus they will go forth burning and pillaging the whole country; and that great and powerful nation, now consisting of some forty millions of people, will be wasted away, unless they repent. Now these are predictions you may record. You may let them sink down into your hearts. — JD 20:151.

Jed. Grant:
The Prophet stood in his own house while he told us of the night the visions of heaven were opened to him, in which he saw the American continent drenched in blood, and he saw nation rising up against nation. He also saw the father shed the blood of the son, and the son the blood of the father; the mother put to death the daughter, and the daughter the mother; and natural affection forsook the hearts of the wicked; — JD 2:147.

Joseph Smith:
...A terrible revolution will take place in the land of America, such as has never been seen before; for the land will be literally left without a supreme government, and every species of wickedness will run rampant. Father will be against son, and son against father, mother against daughter, and daughter against mother. The most terrible scenes of murder and bloodshed, and rapine that have ever been looked upon will take place. — White Horse Prophecy.

From The Contributor:
I saw multitudes fleeing to the place of safety in the mountain heights. The church was stablished in the wilderness. Simultaneously the nation had reached an unparalleled prosperity... "But," continued the messenger, "thou beholdest a change. Confidence is lost. Wealth is arrayed against labor, labor against wealth..."
Factions now sprang up as if by magic: Capital had entrenched itself against labor throughout the land; labor had organized against capital. the voice of the wise sought to tranquilize these two powerful factors in vain. Excited multitudes ran wildly about; strikes increased; lawlessness sought the place of regular government. At this juncture I saw a banner floating in the air whereon was written the words, "Bankruptcy, Famine, Floods, Fire, Cyclones, Blood, Plagues." Mad with rage, men and women rushed upon each other. Blood flowed down the streets of cities like water. The demon of hate had enthroned itself upon the citadel of reason; the thirst for blood was more intense than that of the parched tongue for water. Thousands of bodies lay untombed in the streets. Men and women feel dead from the terror inspired by fear. Rest was but the precursor of the bloody work of the morrow. ...A voice now sounded aloud these words, "Yet once again I shake not only the earth, but also heaven. And this word yet once again signifies the removing of things that are shaken, as of things that are made; that those things that cannot be shaken may remain."
Earthquakes rent the earth in vast chasms, which engulfed multitudes; terrible groanings and wailings filled the air; the shrieks of the suffering were indescribably awful. Water wildly rushed in from the tumultuous ocean whose very roaring under the mad rage of the fierce cyclone, was unendurable to the ear. Cities were swept away in an instant, missiles were hurled through the atmosphere at a terrible velocity and people were carried upward only to descend an unrecognizable mass. — 15:638-640.

A Prophecy by President John Taylor:
My mother was busy preparing dinner for the visitors when she was surprised to see Pres. Taylor come into the kitchen so soon after having retired. He immediately started telling mother of a most remarkable vision that he had just had while in his room. He stated that he saw Salt Lake City become a great city with many beautiful paved roads and streets of cement construction, and the people become wealthy. He saw that the city extended almost to the point of the mountain. He saw the people become quite indifferent to the laws of God, and more interested in the accumulation of wealth than in living their religion.
He told mother that he saw war in Salt Lake City. So great was the destruction of life within the city that blood ran down the gutters as though it were streams of water. The people fought among themselves until it became necessary to remove the Church records across the Colorado river. — as told by Edward Lunt.

Doctrine & Covenants:
Behold, vengeance cometh speedily upon 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. And upon my house shall it begin, and from my house shall it go forth, saith the Lord. 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. — Section 112:24-26.

Doctrine & Covenants:
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. 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; 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. 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. — Section 86:4-7

Heber C. Kimball:
You know that salt will not save meat when it has lost its saving principles, and it is just so with us: when a man sins to that degree that he rejects the truth and the principles of righteousness, he is thenceforth good for nothing but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men. So it will be eventually in the United States. After the truth is all gathered out you will find that the rest will be destroyed. I do not mean that the land will be destroyed, but I refer to the wicked inhabitants, and the earth will be emptied, according to the words of the Prophet. — JD 6:185.

Joseph Smith:
...for God will gather out his Saints from the Gentiles, and then comes desolation and destruction, and none can escape except the pure in heart who are gathered. — Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 71.

Doctrine & Covenants:
For the day of my visitation cometh speedily, in an hour when ye think not of; and where shall be the safety of my people, and refuge for those who shall be left of them? — Section 124:10.

Orson Pratt:
I do not know but that it would be an utter impossibility to commence and carry out some principles pertaining to Zion right in the midst of this people. They have strayed so far that to get a people who would conform to heavenly laws, it may be needful to lead some from the midst of this people and commence anew somewhere in the regions round about in these mountains...I do not know how long it will be before this people are brought to the trying point to see who is and who is not for the Lord; but I would advise the Latter-day Saints to prepare for this, for it may come sooner than some of you expect. If the Lord should undertake to bring about an order of things different from that which now exists, and establish it not exactly in the midst of this people, but in some place where they can commence anew, I hope the people will begin to pray to the Lord, reckon up with themselves and examine their own hearts and see whether they are willing and prepared, if called upon, to place all that they have, or as much as they are required in that order of things, and carry out...
In order to bring about this, who knows how many chastisements God may yet have to pour out upon the people calling themselves Latter-day Saints? I do not know. Sometimes, when I read certain revelations contained in this book. — JD 15:361-362.

Joseph Smith:
The time is near when desolation is to cover the earth, and then God will have a place of deliverance in his remnant, and in Zion... Take away the Book of Mormon and the revelations, and where is our religion? We have none; for without Zion, and a place of deliverance, we must fall......and if we are not sanctified and gathered to the places God has appointed, with all our former professions and our great love for the Bible, we must fall.....for God will gather out his Saints from the Gentiles, and then comes desolation and destruction, and none can escape except the pure in heart who are gathered. — TPJS, p. 71.

Benjamin F. Johnson:
Before this the Prophet had foreshadowed the close of his own earthly mission, and the near approach of the time when the Saints in tribulation would find a place of refuge in the far- off valleys of the Rocky Mountains, which has already taken place; and also relating still to the future, when a path will be opened for the Saints through Mexico, South America, and to the center Stake of Zion. — My Life's Review, p. 101.

Joseph Smith:
Peace will be taken from the earth and there will be no peace only in the Rocky Mountains. This will cause many hundreds and thousands of the honest in heart to gather there; not because they would be Saints; but for safety and because they would not take up the sword against their neighbor. You will be so numerous that you will be in danger of famine, but not for want of seed time and harvest, but because of so many to be fed. Many will come with bundles under their arms to escape the calamities, and there will be no escape except by fleeing to Zion... — White Horse Prophecy.

Brigham Young:
This people can only gain strength upon the principle of fleeing to a country where the wicked will not live, and where they can gain strength enough to walk by themselves, and to go where they please. This is one of the truths of heaven. — JD 3:210.

Daniel W. Jones:
...on entering the State of Chihuahua on the north one travels uphill for several days... some of the finest and most fertile mountain valleys of that country are...two thousand feet higher than Salt Lake Valley. So, if Zion is to be built up in the tops of the mountains, we lack two thousand feet of being there yet. — Forty Years Among the Indians, p. 388, 1890 edition.

Daniel W. Jones:
How is the government? Do you think a man can live there in peace any length of time? I think a man will have all the privilege and protection that could be reasonably desired. Well now, why won't they legislate against our religion in time there just the same as is being done here? That is too big a question to be answered in a sentence. You must read the Book of Mormon in true belief, realizing that it is true and plain. If you will do this honestly you will have no fears about the future in Mexico. — Ibid., p. 391-392.

Daniel W. Jones:
It (Mexico) is naturally one of the best protected countries in this continent, and a reasonable sized colony could and would be as safe there as any place on earth. — Ibid. p. 390.

Daniel W. Jones:
We who have gathered from the Gentile world have the promise of coming in and being numbered with the remnants and helping them to build up the New Jerusalem, provided we harden not our hearts. — Ibid., p. 396.

Samuel W. Richards:
During that four hours I saw all that I expect to see if I should live a thousand years. Someone came to me and told me when to go, and I performed that journey that night while I lay upon my bed. I cam to this valley first... I went down through these valleys and into Southern California. ...Then I was prompted to go farther, and I went into the northern part of Mexico. I returned from there to Jackson County; I could tell a long story about this matter...but it is not best that I should. — Faith Like the Ancients, p. 231-232; also Conference Report of April 1905.

Third Book of Nephi:
And thus commandeth the Father that I should say unto you: At that day when the Gentiles shall sin against 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. — 16:10.

Mosiah Hancock:
Placing his (Joseph Smith, brackets ours) finger on the map (I should think about where Snowflake, Arizona, is situated, or it could have been Mexico) he said, "The government will not receive you with the laws God designed that you should live, and those who are desirous to live the laws of God will have to go south. You will live to see men arise in power in the Church who will seek to put down your friends and the friends of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Many will be hoisted because of their money and the worldly learning which they seem to be in possession of; and many who are the true followers of our Lord and Savior will be cast down because of their poverty." —Journal.

John Taylor:
...The faithful Saints will go to the south and will form a circle something like a horseshoe, before they return to Jackson County, Mo. Those only will be privileged to help build Jackson Co. who will be found willing and glad to obey the counsels and advise of the authorities who will be placed over them, and who will seek such counsel that they may be guided and protected from dire want and distress. You will be few in numbers that are left, but you will assist the Lamanites in building the New Jerusalem. — as told by Edward C. Lunt.

Joseph Smith:
A terrible revolution will take place in the land of America, such as has never been seen before; for the land will be literally left without a supreme government, and every species of wickedness will run rampant. Father will be against son, and son against father, mother against daughter, and daughter against mother. The most terrible scenes of murder and bloodshed, and rapine that have ever been looked upon will take place. ...Many will come with bundles under their arms to escape the calamities, and there will be no escape except by fleeing to Zion. While the terrible revolution of which I have spoken has been going on, England will be neutral until it becomes so inhuman that she will interfere to stop the shedding of blood....During this time the great White Horse will have gathered strength sending out Elders to gather the honest in heart among the Pale Horse, or people of the people of the United States, to stand by the Constitution of the United States, as it was given by inspiration of God... Peace and safety in the Rocky Mountains will be protected by a cordon band of the White Horse and the Red Horse. — White Horse Prophecy.

Third Book of Nephi:
And my people who are a remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles, yea, in the midst of them as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep, who if he go through both treadeth down and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver. Their hand shall be lifted up upon their adversaries, and all their enemies shall be cut off. Yea, wo be unto the Gentiles except they repent; for it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Father, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots; And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy strongholds; And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thy land, and thou shalt have no more
soothsayers; Thy graven images I will also cut off, and thy standing images out of the midst of thee, and thou shalt no more worship the works of thy hands; And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee; so will I destroy thy cities. And I will execute vengeance and fury upon them, even as upon the heathen, such as they have not heard. — 21:12-18, 21.

Jacob Hamblin:
The Prophet Joseph said more than forty years ago that the Latter-day Saints would yet be under the protecting wing of the Republic of Mexico; that, familiarly speaking, the Lord and Satan were, as it were playing a game of checkers; the Lord had one move ahead, and the moves would continue to be made and we would be got down toward Central America; then a backward move would be made and the Lord would sweep the board. — quoted in The Peacemaker by Pearson H. Corbitt, p. 416.

Heber C. Kimball:
He was a Prophet of God, and they cannot help themselves. They slew him, (Joseph Smith) and that nation has got to smart for it, and it will be as much as the Saints can do to gather out of it. If they stay there, they will not gather from there; it is necessary to gather the wheat and put it into the barn; if it is left out, the storms will come and actually waste or destroy it. JD 1:208; also D&C 86.

Doctrine & Covenants:
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. — Section 86:7.

Micah the Prophet:
Be in pain, and labor to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the Lord shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies. — 4:10.

Orson Pratt:
...written by the Prophet Ezekiel, that the Lord will gather them with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out: and he will assemble them in the wilderness, and there will he plead with them face to face, like as he plead with their fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt; thus saith the Lord, by the mouth of Ezekiel. He will plead with them by his power; He will plead with them by his angels; and He will plead with them by the revelation of his own face. — JD 2:263.

Brigham Young:
These valleys are nothing more than a temporary hiding place for the Saints, and if they do right there is no power that can disturb them. — Des. News, June 18, 1857.

The Book of Revelation:
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled, fill to her double. And in her were found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth. — 18:4, 6, 24.

Doctrine & Covenants:
What I the Lord have spoken, I have spoken, and I excuse not myself; and though the heavens and the earth pass away, my word shall not pass away, but shall all be fulfilled, whether by mine own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same. — Section 1:38.

THREE NEPHITES - QUOTE BY BRIGHAM YOUNG

SOMETIMES WE ENTERTAIN ANGELS IN OUR MIDST - COMPLETELY UNAWARES:

Brigham Young who recognized the ministry of the Nephites, said in 1859:

Pretty soon you will see Temples reared up, and the sons of Jacob will enter into the Temples of the Lord. . . . There will be strangers in your midst walking with you, talking with you; they will enter your houses and eat and drink with you; go to meeting with you, and begin to open your minds, as the Saviour did the two disciples who walked out in the country in the days of old. . . . They will expound the Scriptures to you, and open your minds, and teach you the time of Salvation; they will use the keys of the holy Priesthood and unlock the door of knowledge, to let you look into the palace of truth. You will exclaim. That is all plain: Why did I not understand it before? And you will begin to feel your hearts burn within you as they walk and talk with you.

Though Brigham Young does not mention the Nephites specifically here, it is generally considered by scriptural explicators that the Three Nephites were meant.

COHEN FIRESIDE - SECOND COMING

THE NAME KOHN, COHEN, KOHEN, ETC. ALL ARE VARIATIONS OF THE HEBREW NAME MEANING PRIEST (AND THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE A DESCENDANT OF AARON):

SECOND COMING FIRESIDE WITH DR. DAVID COHEN
Pentecost 2007


INTRODUCTION
Jeanie Welch introduced Dr. David Cohen as one of the descendants of Aaron, who refers to Uncle Moses and his Brother Aaron in one of his books. He was raised by his father, the Jewish Rabbi, who later converted to become a Latter Day Saint and mighty missionary for the church. She had Shanna Christ read D&C 8, regarding the gift of Aaron, recognizing that this gift of interpretation is one that she believes that Dr. Cohen has been gifted with through his great love for the scriptures and as a descendant of Aaron.

DR. DAVID COHEN
I’m not worthy of that introduction. I am the least of the brethren.

THE GIFT OF AARON
I just want to clarify what we just read about the gift of Aaron. It is important for us as LDS to understand that this concept of the gift of Aaron is part of our religion. It is not only mentioned in the D&C 8, but in other sections. It’s mentioned in the Bible. Just so you all know, Aaron and his sons were given custody of the Urim and Thumim, forever more. That’s very important to the Jews. What does that mean that they were given custody of the Urim and Thumim? Have you heard of the breastplate of Aaron? The Urim and Thumim were kept in a pocket of the breastplate and worn over Aaron’s heart, and whoever succeeded Aaron as the high priest in ancient Israel, one of his descendants wore this breastplate and it contained the Urim and Thumim, and they had custody of it to protect it. The Prophet was allowed to use it, but he had to return it to the High Priest. It was a special honor given to Aaron and his descendants, among others, and so when you read about the gift of Aaron in D&C 8, the Gift of Aaron is to know the mysteries of God, particularly through the Urim and Thumim, and that is what Joseph Smith is referring to there. He actually had Brother of Jared’s Urim and Thumim and Oliver Cowdery was borrowing it and trying to translate it. What happened to Oliver Cowdery’s translations? He failed! Why did he fail? Because he didn’t have the gift of Aaron! Now the last thing I want to insinuate here is that I have a Urim and Thumim, but I hope to someday be worthy to use it just as my ancestors have.
FEASTING UPON THE WORD OF GOD
All of you being here tonight have demonstrated faith. There is nothing better on the Sabbath day than to get together as Saints and bask in the word. The Lord expects us to feast upon His word, and that’s what you’re doing by being here. We’re going to feast on the word of God tonight. And you’re going to be blessed. I promise you, you’re going to leave this fireside and you are going to be glad you attended it. The Lord is going to bless you for your faith.
INTRODUCTION TO THE SUBJECT OF THE SECOND COMING
There is nothing more exciting then learning about the Second Coming because it pertains to our day! We live in exciting times, and it just so happens that the final chapter of my new book is on the Second Coming. Why is it the final chapter, because it takes all of the previous chapters to be able to write about the Second Coming. It is a difficult subject, and it took 37 previous chapters to come up with the information that I am going to share with you tonight. The stakes are high. Who am I to talk about the Second Coming? But let the spirit whisper to you tonight the truthfulness of what you are about to hear. You go home and study it for yourself, and gain your own testimony of what I’m going to share with you tonight. It pertains to you!
WHY HAS EVERY PREVIOUS DATING OF THE LORD’S RETURN BEEN WRONG?

1. TOO SPECIFIC: I don’t know if you all know this, but lots and lots of people have tried to pinpoint the time of the Lord’s return, and we have been counseled in the church not to do it, because it’s fraught with danger! It gets us in trouble! First of all, no one will ever know the day nor the hour, so don’t go there! We’re going to talk about WHY no one will know the day nor the hour. There are specific reasons!



2. UNINSPIRED: Everybody thus far who has tried to be specific and quantified has been uninspired! Unless you’re inspired you are going to be wrong.
3. OUR CALENDAR IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE LORD’S CALENDAR: We’re going to talk about the Lord’s calendar tonight.
PENTECOST!An example is this very date, this time of year (pointing at the word "Pentecost"). You notice at the top it says Pentecost 2007. Pentecost happens to be a very sacred time of the year, and it pertains perfectly to this discussion on the Second Coming. Can anybody here give me some examples of sacred events that happened on Pentecost? YES! The out pouring of the Holy Ghost! How was it described? Rushing winds and cloven tongues of FIRE! What is so significant about FIRE in the Second Coming? The Second Coming is the baptism by fire! What kind of fire? SPIRITUAL FIRE! The spirit of God like a fire burns! Isn’t that a hymn we sing? Spiritual fire is one of the characteristics and hallmarks of Pentecost. What else? That is not the only event. Adam-ondi-Ahman: What about Adam-ondi-Ahman? What happened at Adam-ondi-Ahman? Adam and his righteous posterity met and they had a Solemn Assembly. (Now what’s the definition of a Solemn Assembly? In order for there to be a Solemn Assembly a member of the Godhead must be present. Every Solemn Assembly that has taken place in a temple dedication is characterized by a member of the Godhead being present. That is why it is so sacred). Who was present at the Adam-ondi-Ahman Solemn Assembly? The Lord himself! That happened to take place on Pentecost. Trust me! If you have any questions or argument about this I would be happy to cover this with you later because we have a lot of material to talk about tonight. Mt. Sinai - Moses, Aaron, Madab, Abihu and seventy elders of Israel came into the presence of God on Mt. Sinai on Pentecost. Again, a Solemn Assembly. Pentecost is a sacred date! Exactly one year after that seventy elders including Eldad and Medad (Have you heard of Eldad and Medad? Take note of those two names because your are going to see them again before the Second Coming. Have you read about the two witnesses. There are two witnesses mentioned in Revelations. You wait and see, their new names are Eldad and Medad. It is not pertinent in this discussion to explain why, but it is in the Hebrew of their names. Eldad is a mirror image of Medad. So they were twins. It goes further, they are sacred names).The reason I am giving you this back ground information is that you cannot talk about the Second Coming without knowing something about Pentecost. Exactly one year after that (Solemn Assembly) Moses sent spies out to search the promised land forty days and the Lord appeared in the Tabernacle on Pentecost. When did David slay Goliath? On Pentecost. How about the enunciation of the immaculate conception by the Angel Gabriel occurred on Pentecost. What does it say in the scriptures – "the Holy Ghost shall come upon thee." What is Pentecost all about, the Holy Ghost! It says in the Book of Mormon that Mary was carried away in the spirit – Pentecost! There’s other evidence. Elizabeth would have been in her 6th lunar month of pregnancy. When did Elizabeth get pregnant – exactly 6 months before Mary – 50 days before Passover - another Pentecost event. Jesus started his ministry on Pentecost. There’s an incident in the Book of Mormon where the Holy Ghost descended upon the Twelve Apostles (Nephite) and they were encircled about as if it were by FIRE! What day was that? Pentecost! Then there is one more. I saved the best for last and we should all know this as Latter Day Saints. The Restoration of Melchezedek Priesthood occurred on Pentecost. We don’t have the date of that event. WHY? Because it is related to the Second Coming, the Baptism by Fire. You cannot talk about the Second Coming without talking about Pentecost.
4. WE ARE DROWNING IN FALSE INFORMATION: Just look on the internet. You can’t trust any of it! Why have people failed? Did you know that Isaac Newton spent the last third of his life studying sacred chronologies? Why did he fail? He understood the physical world better than anybody. Number one, he didn’t know the original Hebrew. He studied Hebrew intensely because he knew that there was something to it. Here’s this English guy studying Hebrew. What was his hang-up? Here is a Hebrew bible and you will see that it is in a completely different script then English. It happens to be the script that Newton studied. What’s the problem? This is why the whole world is confused! The problem is the current Hebrew script is corrupt. So if you study the current Hebrew script it is a dead end. Why has every research project on Hebrew failed thus far? Even Hugh Nibley gave up on Hebrew. Why? Hugh Nibley is brilliant! What did he turn to, finally? Egyptian! Because at least he made some headway with Egyptian. Why did he fail with the Hebrew? Because it’s corrupt! Now, Brothers and Sisters, let’s backtrack just a little bit and you will understand why there are 37 chapters in my book before the Second Coming. The first 30 chapters happen to be on the holy language. How can you understand the original holidays unless you understand the original language that it was prescribed in? This is what has been my biggest challenge. The first quantum leap that I made was realizing that the script was corrupt so I had to put everything back into the original script in order to figure this stuff out. You see, when the Israelites were on Mt. Sinai, what happened? Moses went up on Mt. Sinai, and it says in the Torah that God wrote with His finger, on two stone tablets, the law. What happened to the script? Well first Moses came down from Mount Sinai and found the camp in mutiny and they were worshiping a golden calf and having an orgy. He took the two stone tablets and he broke them. What was on them? The higher law. In what script. The higher law in the original Adamic script. CORRECT! And what did Joseph Smith teach us? He taught us that Moses went back up on Mt. Sinai and he made two new stone tablets and again God wrote with his finger on those tablets, but what was the difference? It was in a lesser - but holy script, in a lesser law – the Law of Moses, and the people got a lesser priesthood -the Aaronic priesthood. So what is the difference in the lesser script and the higher script? If you read the book of Ether the Jaredite record was 24 plates and covered 3500 years of history from the creation to the destruction of the Jaredites. How can you fit 3500 years of history on 24 plates? SHORTHAND! The Adamic script is shorthand. What did the ancient Israelites get – phonetics – a long hand? And what did the Nephite prophets say? They wished they could have written in Hebrew, but the plates didn’t have enough capacity for a Hebrew account, so what did they write in? SHORTHAND! The original language is sooooo amazing Brothers and Sisters – it would knock your socks off! Should I give you an example? Everybody thinks that the Adamic language is some kind of communication by telepathy. I am going to share with you the secret, because you are here, you get a special blessing. Let me give you an example. In the original script on Mt. Sinai "STAR" was written kkb, written from right to left – bkk (We don’t have time to go in to how I know what the original script is but if you want to know later I will show you - It is in my book). This is how God wrote "STAR" in the original script – "Kk" – doesn’t Joseph Smith call the stars KoKa beam – that’s the plural. (Dr. Cohen then proceeds to show us that the original script literally combines the 2 - K’s together to look just like a star the way a child would draw it). A star is a star it is not S-T-A-R. When you write star it is a (drew a star) in the holy language, but in the ancient Hebrew it is kkb. What did God do? He broke up the picture into its phonetics. How do you write stars – you put a z on the drawn star. It is no wonder that every thing in the English plural is zzzzzzzzzzzz. What does that tell you about English? It is the most holy language on the planet right now, and that explains why the gospel was restored in English. It is more holy then Hebrew because Hebrew is corrupt (Dr. Cohen then shows us what "STAR" has become in Hebrew – a far cry from what it once was in the original language and not so simple as the Adamic language). How do you go from that (pointing to the Adamic language on the board)---to that (Hebrew language on the board). One example doesn’t prove anything. What if I told you I have a thousand. Now how did Adam write Sun – in the original long hand it is "wmw" (he then shows us the corrupted Hebrew) He then shows us that the "wmw" combine in a ring and look just like a sun. One of Dr. Cohen’s predictions before the Second Coming is that every sign in Israel is coming down! The script is going to change (to the original). When it happens it will be all over the news and then you can say that Dr. Cohen told you so. This is not in any church book. This is not on the internet. I probably shouldn’t even be sharing it with you because it is so hot off the press, and it is so sacred! Imp going to show you one other thing just to get you excited about this. Let’s see what the Lord’s holy name is. In the original script the Lord’s holy name is (Dr. Cohen proceeds to write EYEZz) What ? You mean the Lord’s holy name means something in English. What does that tell you about English? How do you write the Lord’s name in the corrupt script (he proceeds to write and then calls it-" chicken scratch). What does the Lord’s holy name mean – this Z is a symbol in the priesthood. A big Z and a little z – the big Z represents the greater priesthood and the little z represents the lesser priesthood – then you see two E’s representing two strands of DNA, and the Y represents the tree of life. "I AM THE LIGHT AND THE LIFE OF THE WORLD". In the Lords name are two strands of DNA(EE) with the (Y)tree of life in between – but you don’t get it in the corrupt script you get it in the original script. You mean Adam knew about DNA? We think we’re so smart. Okay, the reason why I’m showing you this is because this is what gives me an edge on the Second Coming. And by chapter 37 I’ve got something to work with that no one else has to work with.
5. YOU MUST HAVE A PURE UNDERSTANDING OF THE ORIGINAL HOLIDAYS as they were originally prescribed in order to elucidate the Lord’s calendar. You must have the original script. The original script is profound and is filled with clues. Now I’m going to give you some examples. Let’s talk about the
PASSOVERS– in plural. There wasn’t just one Passover there were two, but the Jews forgot about the second Passover. WHY? Because they rejected their Passover Jew. Let’s review this really quickly. Everybody talks about the first Passover. What was the first Passover? The Passover in Egypt – Called "The Lord’s Passover" because the Lord passed over the Israelites – they had the blood of the pascal lamb. Then what happened? Pharaoh lets the Israelites go and they travel 6 days to the Red Sea. They get to the Red Sea and they are exhausted, and they set up camp. Just as the sun is setting, who do they see? Pharaoh’s army! It says in Exodus, 600 chariots coming in hot pursuit. And there the Israelites were, 1.5 million pinned against the sea. We all know what happened, but we forget. What happened that night? The second Passover. The Israelites passed over the Red Sea…(lost a few seconds of the tape)… JEHOVAH, and it was all a type and shadow of what was going to happen in the meridian of time. Unless you understand that you will never figure out the Lord’s calendar. The whole world has forgotten about the second Passover. What do the Jews celebrate? The Jews celebrate the first Passover. That’s it! They dropped the ball! The most important Passover they don’t even acknowledge it. What was the Lord’s prescription of Passover. It was a 7 day holiday, with the 1st day as a Sabbath and the 7th day as a Sabbath. Why is that so important? Do ya think, we don’t have time for the Passover, that is for Easter! But we’ve got to talk about because you cannot understand the Second Coming if you don’t understand. Now let me tell you what trips everbody up. Turn to John 13:1. I know that some of this material is heavy, and if you leave here with a headache, but let the spirit whisper to you what I am telling you is true. I’m your tutor. I did the hard work for you. You are going to know more about the Second Coming then anyone in your ward after this. John 13:1 – "Now before the feast of the Passover" ---John is a good Jewish boy and knew the Passover really well. He celebrated the Feast of the Passover as it was supposed to be celebrated before the holiday was corrupt. So when he said, "Now before the feast of the Passover", what feast is he talking about. See to him its understood. Right now he is probably thrilled that the Latter Day Saints are getting it. He is happy that you’re here, that I am clarifying it for you. What was the original prescription of the holiday? The first day was a feast and the Sabbath and the 7th day was a feast and the Sabbath. Why? Because there were 2 Passovers. So when John said, "Before the feast of the Passover," which feast is he referring to. The whole world thinks he is referring to the first. What were the Pascal (Passover) lambs of the first Passover? When the Lord prescribed the Passover, he said that every family, through the power of the priesthood, should sacrifice a lamb on Passover Eve. Which Passover? The first Passover was the Lord’s Passover. And whose Pascal Lambs were they? The Lord’s lambs. He shared them with us. When the Saints needed a Pascal lamb it was the Lord’s, but he shared it with them. It was not legitimate unless it was done through the power of the Priesthood. Okay, so the first Passover is celebrated and then there are 5 days where you have to eat unleaven bread, and then there is a Sabbath and a feast day on the 7th that is celebrated – and who is the Pascal Lamb on that feast? The Savior! Do we canabalize him? What do we do? It is a spiritual feast and on the 7th day feast the Israelites were given a fore taste of the Sacrament – for centuries this happened. Now how can you understand John’s rendition of the atonement unless you know that. Let me give you another example. Turn to John 18:28. Which Passover is referred to in this reading? The 2nd Passover. The whole world misses this. Even Talmage missed it in "Jesus the Christ." Let’s turn to another one in John 19:14. What Passover? The 2nd Passover. IT CHANGES EVERYTHING! Why? Because the whole world thinks that Jesus was crucified on the 1st Passover. According to Mosaic Law, all Pascal lambs had to be sacrificed on Passover Eve. So when were all the Pascal lambs sacrificed, except Jesus Christ – on Passover Eve of the 1st Passover. So when was Jesus supposed to be crucified, on the Passover Eve of the 2nd Passover. Unless you know that you will never figure out the Lord’s calendar. One last example. John 19:31 – "The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation (of the 2nd Passover) that the body should not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath day was an high day." Again, the whole world is lost! They think the Sabbath day is what? The weekly Sabbath, but what was the Lord’s original prescription. The 1st and 7th days of Passover were also Sabbaths. It changes everything. We think in terms of a weekly Sabbath, but the Jews anciently had multiple Sabbaths. PASSOVERS! You have to understand that if you want to understand the 2nd coming. (See my new book for more detail. It is called "The Adamic Language and Calendar").
FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS (Rosh Hashanah), YOM KIPPUR, FEAST OF THE TABERNACLE: Now we come to a set of Holidays that directly pertain to the Second Coming. They are Rosh Hashanah, or the Feast of Trumpets, 1st day of the 7th month, Yom Kippur, and the Feast of the Tabernacle. Now again, all of you Biblical scholars, the feast of the Tabernacle(s) is a misnomer. It was a portable temple. There was a feast prescribed for the tabernacle. WHY? Who lives in the temple? The Lord! So it was a celebration of having the Lord right there with you. It is important that I interject to why we as LDS do not celebrate these holidays, directly. What do we do? We indirectly celebrate them. In what manner? Every 6 months the church goes through painstaking efforts, spends lots of energy and money to do General Conference. It is a holiday. The one in April falls on PASSOVER. The one in OCTOBER falls on Feast of the Trumpets, Yom Kippur and the Feast of the Tabernacle. So in a way, the Lord is priming us for further light and knowledge. Why don’t we have conference on Christmas or in the summer? Because the Lord is priming us for His holidays. Sometime before the 2nd coming, we are not only going to hold General Conference, but we, as LDS, are going to celebrate these holidays. Don’t take it from me. When President Monson puts it into effect, you are going to say, Brother Cohen told me that. You mark my word, before the 2nd coming its going to happen. We’re not really going to change a whole lot. We are going to have a spiritual feast at the same time, but we are going to be instructed on these holidays, just like I am instructing you. WHY! Because they are so important! You cannot understand the 2nd coming unless you have a grasp on these. Now I’m going to show you why.

REASONS THAT THE RIGHTEOUS WILL KNOW THE APPROXIMATE DATE OF THE LORD’S RETURN:
DANIEL 12:12 SPECIFIES TO THE DAY, THE 3RD WO!

All of these you know, but there are a couple that I want to point out to you that you may not have considered. For example: Daniel 12:12 specifies to the day the 3rd and final wo. "Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days." WOW! The exact day! He has given us the day of the third and final woe. Brothers and Sisters, I’m priming you all of you for further light and knowledge. It is important for you to know that there is more in the scriptures then you ever realized. I want you to turn to
LEVITICUS 23:24 IS FILLED WITH IMPLICATIONS FOR OUR DAY
"And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a Sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation." STOP RIGHT THERE! WOW! That is just filled with implications, and for our day! Let me explain it to you. Let me explain on one simple verse in the Torah and get you pumped up! In the 7th month (what does it typify). The 1st day of the 7th month of the Lord’s calendar is the Fall Equinox. The 1st day of the 1st month of the Lord’s calendar is the Spring Equinox. New Year’s day on the Lord’s calendar is the Spring Equinox. PERFECT! 1st day of spring, New Year’s Day! BEAUTIFUL! Why are the equinoxes so important? The Spring Equinox for the northern hemisphere is the same as the Fall Equinox for the southern hemisphere. Why is that important? How many have heard the scripture, "The first shall be last and the last shall be first?" It has multiple applications, including the equinoxes. Okay, just file that away for a moment. What does the 7th month represent. Number one is a sabbatical month, but it also typifies the 7th thousand year – a sabbatical millennium, or the millennium. The earth is to obtain its paradisiacal glory and find rest. For a thousand years we will dwell in righteousness. Sitting right there in the Torah is a prediction for the last days. But we don’t understand it because we don’t understand the Lord’s holidays. Okay! The 7th month represents the 7th thousand years. The Lord always works in nested cycles. Anytime you hear a 7th day or 7th month you have to think in terms of week or year, or millennium, or century, or decade. But the plot thickens, and we are not even through the whole verse! "Ye shall have a Sabbath, a memorial of blowing trumpets." A blowing of trumpets? That rings a bell. What do we have on the tops of our temples? An angel blowing a trumpet. What else comes to mind? What does it say in Revelations after the 7th seal is opened? 7 Angels will blow 7 trumpets in succession. So the plot thickens. The 7th month refers to the 7th thousand years. And to hammer the point home he says there will be a memorial of trumpet blowing as soon as the 7th seal is opens. BOY! If that’s true let’s follow it through. By the way the first day of the 7th month is called Rosh Hashana, New Year’s Day. Wait a minute, why would the Jews call the first day of the 7th month New Year’s Day? The first day of the first month is New Year’s Day. If you ask any Rabbi this they go, "I don’t know. It was a new beginning for the Jews on Mt. Sinai so they call it Rosh Hashana." The reason why it is called Rosh Hashana, Brothers and Sisters, is because the Lord is trying to tell us something. He is trying to tell us that the first day of the 7th month is going to be New Year’s day at the start of the millennium. "The first shall be last and the last shall be first." WOW! The plot thickens! And then on the 10th day of the 7th month is Yom Kippur. And the holidays don’t stop. The Feast of the Tabernacle is the 15th day through the 21st day, and then what happens? According to the book of Leviticus, on the 22nd day is a Solemn Assembly. What did I tell you needs to be present with a Solemn Assembly? A member of the Godhead. It is so important for you to remember that when you are interpreting this scripture. NOW! If the 7th month represents the 7th thousand years, then what does days 1-22 represent? The first 22 years of the millennium. Holy Cow! You mean that for centuries the Lord gave us the prescription for the Second Coming and we didn’t even know it? Now I’m going to show you why it is true.

REVELATIONS 8:1

"And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour." STOP! We just gloss over that, like, okay! First of all, he said that when the 7th seal is open….We may not know the day nor the hour, but if we can pinpoint exactly when the 7th seal is open we are home free. THAT we can figure out! Guess what a ½ hour is in celestial time? Almost 22 years. Now, tell me that is a coincidence. I am going to give you further evidence. How many chapters in Revelations? 22 chapters. How long was Ezekiel’s ministry? 22 years. When did the Angel Moroni come to Joseph Smith, 5 years in a row? On the 22nd. What does September mean in Latin? 7th month. The original 7th month on the Julian calendar was September, and it was only after Agustus came on the scene, that He wanted August named after him, that it was changed to the 9th month. The reason that the Angel Moroni came to Joseph Smith, 5 years in a row on September 22nd was to drop a bomb on us! It was one thing if he came once or twice, but 5 years in a row. The Lord was trying to tell us something! He was putting it in Neon lights! After the 7th seal is open, there is almost 22 years until the Second Coming. Now what does Joseph Smith call September 22nd in the Pearl of Great Price? New Year’s Eve. Why didn’t he call it New Year’s Day? Why didn’t he just call it the Fall Equinox? Actually, I went back and checked the Equinox charts, and in the 1820’s, every Fall Equinox fell on September 23rd. Why is that important? The fact that the Angel Moroni came on the 22nd means that the 7th seal hadn’t opened yet, but was about to be opened. Okay, now we’re getting down to the nitty gritty. Any questions about what we have covered so far, because I am about to give you some prophecies. Is it okay if I prophecy? What did Moses say about prophets? "Would that all of God’s people were prophets." It is everyone’s right to receive revelation, as a worthy Latter Day Saint. I am interpreting scriptures. I am not making this up Brothers and Sisters. It is all here, you just have to put it all together. We have one more thing to cover before I give you my predictions. It has to do with the fact that you can’t understand the Second Coming unless you understand what the most prophesied astronomical sign is in the scriptures. It is all over the scriptures. Joseph Smith, Isaiah, John the Revelator, Job, Ezekiel, Joel talks about it. "The sun shall be darkened, the moon shall be turned to blood and the stars shall fall from heaven." That is the most prophecied sign in the scriptures. Now the church teaches us that we shouldn’t interpret scriptures on the second coming literally, but this is one that we can interpret literally. What is it basically the most prophesied sign preceding the Second Coming? DARKNESS! And the Lord always repeats himself. When Christ was crucified there was 3 days of darkness, and what happened after the 3 days of darkness? Jesus appeared. Where else was there darkness? Right before the original Passover, there were 3 days of darkness. And then what happened afterwards? The Lord passed over the Israelites. Every time there has been cataclysmic darkness, with thick vapors, and pitch black, such as these accounts, and the Nephites. It will happen again at his Second Coming. Now you must understand that if you are ever going to understand John the Revelator. Now he throws us a curve ball. John 6:12: "And I beheld when he had opened the 6th seal, lo their was a great earth quake, and the sun became black as sack cloth, and the moon became as blood, and the stars in heaven fallen to the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her figs." What is the problem there? He gives the most prophesied sign preceding the Second Coming when the 6th seal is open. His chronology is wrong. It took me a year to figure this out. Anytime you see a contradiction in the scriptures, what does it mean? Contradiction is truth standing on its head to get attention! Its truth in neon lights! Its truth inside out! Now that we know the most prophesied sign….How do we interpret this? John is telling us that the sign of the 6th seal is darkness. When was the 6th seal opened? In the depths of the DARK AGES! The earth was drowning in darkness. If darkness is the sign of the 6th seal, then what is the sign of the 7th seal? LIGHT! BEAUTIFUL! SIMPLE! PROFOUND! And how does that light culminate with the coming of the Son. You see, Jehovah doesn’t need any light. His countenance is so bright! Matthew 24: "For as the light cometh out of the East and shineth into the west, so shall the coming of the Son be." His countenance is so bright that if we saw His full glory it would consume us. The scriptures say that the sun will hide its face in shame. HE IS BRIGHTER THEN THE SUN! There is a story in the Torah where Moses says to the Lord, "Let me see your full glory." You see Moses talked to the Lord face to face. But what did the Lord do? He turned his glory down. Moses said to him, before I die I would like to see your full glory. What was the Lord’s reply? "Nobody can see my face and live Moses, but I will give you a concession. I’ll block your view of my face with my hand and I will show you my back. (It is in the Torah) So Moses got a glimpse of the Lord’s full glory from behind, but his face was BRIGHTER THEN THE SUN! And when His Second Coming occurs, he is not going to tone it down. He is going to come in His full glory! Hence, A BAPTISM BY FIRE!

THE EARTH WILL BE MOVED OUT OF HER PLACE

Now, let’s talk about why we don’t know the day nor the hour and then we will make some predictions. According to these scriptures, what happens when the darkness occurs? According to Isaiah, the earth shall be moved out of her place like a cottage. The suns darkened, the moon is blood red, the stars are falling from heaven and the earth is being moved out of her place. What is Isaiah trying to tell us? Is the Lord coming to us? The earth is going to go to a new orbit. It is no wonder that no one knows the day nor the hour. How can the earth go to a new orbit, who knows how many light years away, in such a short time? It will go through a worm hole. A worm hole? Are there any upon this earth? What is all the hype about the two triangles, the Bermuda and the Dragons Triangle? They are on exact opposite sides of the globe, and in these triangles things disappear – ships, airplanes! Instruments loose their operability. Why? Those two triangles represent worm holes in space. Where was the city of Enoch translated? The Gulf of Mexico, and what is right next to the Gulf of Mexico? The Bermuda Triangle. Do you believe the triangles are real? (Someone asked, do you think we are going to go back to the state of the Garden of Eden?) The Garden of Eden and the City of Enoch is in a terrestrial state. We are going back to where we came from, and we’re going to join the City of Enoch in a terrestrial spirit. This is why nobody knows the date nor the hour, we are going to be traveling through a worm hole! Time is going to be warped, and that is why the stars are going to be moving by and the moon will be red, because the moon doesn’t have an atmosphere so it is going to be on FIRE! But there is another reason why no one will know the day nor the hour. What happens after we get to that new orbit? New time, but then what has to happen? It says in the scriptures that before the Lord’s unveiling the righteous have to be gathered from the 4 quarters of the earth. The righteous include not only those who are alive, but those who are dead. Not only is the righteous going to be gathered, the righteous are going to be translated up to meet the Lord! It all takes time Brothers and Sisters. "Two people will be in the field, one will be taken and the other left." All the people have to be gathered before the Lord’s unveiling, and there is only one person who knows the moment of the Lord’s unveiling. God the Father, even the Lord doesn’t know. You can imagine how these angels are going to be going around checking their watch to make sure they get everybody gathered in time. It is going to be a beautiful scene. It’s going to be just like the Nephites. The darkness is going to cease. It is going to light up. Where is the light coming from? THE LORD! He’s not even unveiled yet, but we see His light. Then there is going to be a gathering. I don’t know how long its going to take. A week? How long did it take the Nephites to see the Lord? DAYS! The same kind of time, the Lord always repeats himself. SO! We have 2 good reasons why no one is going to know the day nor the hour. We are going to be traveling through space so time will be warped, and the righteous are going to be gathered. Then when the Lord unveils himself to the wicked, what will happen? They will be consumed with fire because his countenance is so glorious.

Now for some predictions! The key for us right now, is to determine when the 7th seal is open, because everything else will fall into place. So how do we determine the opening of the 7th seal? It is a very sacred event. Why? Because it represents the completion of 6000 years of mortal mans existence on the other. IT"S HUGE! The scriptures speak only in general terms about the opening of the 7th seal. The scriptures do point to the constellation, Orion. And I give to you several scriptures that talk about Orion. Now the scriptures talk about 3 constellations: Irsa Major, Plaities and Orion. WHY? What was Irsa Major involved in? The Fall. When did the North Star become the Pole Star? When Adam and Eve Fell. What about Plaities? Plaities was the constellation of the Lord’s first coming. When that new star arose it was in Platys. What about Orion? Because Orion happens to be the constellation at the opening of the 7th seal. What is the sign of the 7th seal? LIGHT! Did you know that there is a pyramid in Egypt that looks right at Orion? It’s called Cheops Pyramid staring right at Orion. Why? Because the Egyptians knew it was important. (Some one asked about Mayan Culture: Regarding the Mayan Calendar, the problem is that those who are studying it are not considering the scriptures. The Mayan’s were pagans having dwindled in unbelief. They were also of the House of Israel so they had an idea of a new heaven and a new earth. They had this accurate calendar that predicted a new calendar right about this time (2012), but their interpretation of it was skewed because they were Pagans). Here is a golden nugget of what is found in the scriptures about Orion. In the original script Orion is spelled (writes on the board) this means "7", and this means "Jubilee", and the K means "as". When I saw that, I leaped with joy! In the original script the name of Orion means "As 7 Jubilees." What happened at every Jubilee? A trumpet blew. What does John say is going to happen when the 7 seals are opened? 7 trumpets will blow. It’s right there in the Hebrew. What does Orion mean in Hebrew? "My light is Power!" There happens to be a star in Orion named, Betel Jeuce (sp?). In Hebrew it means (sp?) Oliforium. Oliforium means, "My number one light!" Does anyone know anything about Baetel Jeuce? It is a red super giant. Its so big that astronomers can’t figure out exactly how far it is away from us cause its pulsating. What happens to red super giants? The super nova. How many super nova’s occur in the Milky Way galaxy every 50 years? One. And what is 50 years? A jubilee. Everything fits like a glove. Betel Jeuce means "armpit" in Arabic, and it is in Orion’s armpit. Here is the prediction or prophecy. On September 22nd 2011 there is going to be a Betel Jeuce Super Nova. It just so happens that 2011 is the only year in this decade when the Fall Equinox falls on September 23rd. On every other year the Fall Equinox is September 22nd. Why is it the year 2011? What did the Lord do in 11AD. He opened the 5th seal. How do we know that he didn’t open it in the year 1BC, when he was born? He was in Mary’s womb. And when he was born he was an incapacitated infant, so it was logistically impossible for the Lord to open the 5th seal in 1BC, that is why the year 2000 was not the opening of the 7th seal. What does the scriptures teach us about the meridian of time? You see, God’s house is a house of order. Who’s the only one that can open the seals? Christ. What does Joseph Smith teach us about the Meridian of time? Everyone thinks that the Meridian of time is the Lord’s birth. In Moses 7 it says that the meridian of time also includes his death. So what is the meridian of time? His entire mortal life! When God was living with us as a human being, it was the meridian of time. So somewhere in that meridian of time the 5th seal was open. What is the only other time besides his birth and his ministry do we have a glimpse of his life? It says that he was 12, and in ancient reckoning when you were 12 you were in your 12th year so it was 11 AD. It’s very bad to be off by a whole year. So everyone that says that the Mayan calendar ends in 2012, means they were off by a whole year. You have to understand how a good Jew thought back then. You were given credit for your birthdays. When your 11 years old how many birthdays have you had? Twelve. Anciently you were given credit for your birthdays so if you had 12 birthdays you are 12 and going into your 13th birthday. Where does this make a huge difference in all of our calculations? What is in Genesis 5? A genealogy from Adam to Noah. It gives all the ages of the Patriarchs all the way to Noah. Its says that Adam lived 930 years and he died. What does that mean? He lived until his 930th year and then he died. If you do the math right that was when the City of Enoch was translated. In the first Jubilee year of the 2nd millennium. If you don’t know that little trick you are way off, because by 10 generations you are off by many years. It is the secret to understanding the Lord’s calendar. When Noah gave the dates of the flood he gave them relative to his birthday, because when Noah was born the calendar changed. The only way you know this is if you know these little tidbits about dating. So, Noah was born the year the City of Enoch was translated, and 600 years later there was a flood. Why is that important? The Lord always repeats himself. Why is 600 years to and from and flood so important? When did he repeat that again? 600 BC Lehi left Jerusalem. Jerusalem was destroyed. 600 years later, the Lord came in the flesh. He repeats it again with the 7th seal. There is going to be a flood of light in the Fall Equinox of 2011. What happened exactly 600 years prior to 2011? The start of the Renaissance – the depth of the dark ages, the 15th century! What will happen 600 years from that period? The 7th seal will open with a flood of light! So what does that tell you about Orion? It went Super Nova in the start of the Renaissance, and we haven’t seen it yet because Baetel Jeuce is 600 light years away. SO BEAUTIFUL! Now lets talk about the astronomy of a Baetel Jeuce Super Nova. It just so happens that Orion, on the Fall Equinox, rises at midnight. Can you imagine what the world is going to say, when on September 22nd, at midnight, 2011, it lights up at midnight as if it is dawn. They are going to think it is the Second Coming. Doesn’t it say in the parable of the 10 virgins that the groom comes at midnight? When it lights up as if it were dawn, the world is going to think that the world is coming to an end and they are going to panic, but the righteous are going to know that the 7th seal has been opened and that the countdown begins for the Second Coming.

REVELATIONS & THE ARCH ANGELS

It is so important to know that the millennium starts 22 years before the Second Coming, and all the prophecies from Revelations 8 on have to take place in those 22 years. Christ opened the 5th seal at age 11, and then his ministry ended 22 years later. IT FITS LIKE A GLOVE! What do the angels say to the Apostles when he ascends into heaven? Marvel not. The way you see him ascend is the way he will return. When did he ascend into heaven? On Pentecost! That is why I took so much time to talk about Pentecost. In revelations, 7 angels have to sound. The angels happen to be the 7 arch angels for 7 dispensations. The one exception is the dispensation of the Lord. The Lord is not one of the arch angels, but Abel substitutes for him. They are Adam , Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Joseph Smith. They have also been given other names: Adam is Michael, Enoch is Raphael, Noah is Gabriel to name a few. The 7th arch angel is the most important, because he is in charge of the 3rd and final woe, and that 7th arch angel is Michael. Now lets talk about woes for a moment. You hear that terminology a lot in the scriptures. In the Book of Mormon every woe is spelled "WO". Why did Joseph Smith spell it WO? Because (WOE) is a misspelled word. In the Hebrew, WO has specific connotations to Lucifer. In Matthew 23, Jesus says "Wo unto ye scribes and Pharisees, Wo unto ye hypocrites, Wo, Wo, Wo." What is he saying? Wo’s are specifically geared for the destruction of the wicked, and it is where Satan has power over them. That is why when Jesus appears to the Nephites, what does he say? "Wo, Wo, Wo unto the inhabitants of the whole earth accept they shall repent, for the devil laughs, and his angels rejoice because of the slain, fair sons and daughters of my people." Before the Wo’s, 4 angels sound. And they sound after the 7th seal has been opened (Rev . Doing the math, if Michael is responsible for the 3rd and final wo, and Daniel gave us the exact day of the 3rd and final wo, and there are 6 other arch angels in between that and the opening of the 7th seal, then how much time does each arch angel get? 3 ½ years. Each arch angel gets 3 ½ years to do their thing. Why is 3 ½ years so important? How long was the Lord’s ministry? 3 ½ years. The Lord always repeats himself. It says in Revelations 8:7 what each arch angel will do. So when will this happen?
(I have written in the 1-7 Angels and their dates based on info he gave us – there may be some error in my understanding so lets ask Dr. Cohen about the names of the angels and the dates based on the 3 ½ year calculations)
FIRST ANGEL, (Joseph Smith/ ) SOUNDS TRUMP 2011 to 2015. Revelations 8:7: "The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the 3rd part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up."
SECOND ANGEL ( Moses/ ) SOUNDS TRUMP 2015 to 2018. Revelations 8:8-9: "And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed".
THIRD ANGEL, ( Abraham/ ) SOUNDS TRUMP 2018 to 2022. Revelations 8:10-11: "And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter". What does that sound like? A comet. Now what is the difference between a comet and an asteroid? Comets have tails and they light up before they hit the earth’s atmosphere. The other interesting thing about comets is they can come out of nowhere. An asteroid can be tracked by astronomers track for years, but a comet can hide behind the sun and come out of nowhere. John calls it wormwood. Don’t think for a moment that this Betel Jeuce Super Nova isn’t going to have something to do with this comet. When there is a Super Nova in the galaxy it reeks havoc. One of the things its going to do is send a comet our way, and its going to appear out of no where with the name Wormwood. How many Woe’s are in wormwood. Wo! Wo!
FOURTH ANGEL, (Noah/Gabriel) SOUNDS TRUMP 2022 to 2025. Revelations 8:12-13: "And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise. And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound! Angels 5,6, & 7 are in charge of the last 3 Woes!

FIFTH ANGEL, (Enoch/Raphael) SOUNDS TRUMP 2025 to 2029. Revelations 9:1-13At the end of Chapter 9

John takes an interlude. Why? Lets go back to our holidays. What happens on the 10th day of the 7th month? Yom Kippur, so John takes time out. What is he trying to tell us? That the original holidays indeed have predictive value for our day. You notice in Rev 1, John sees the Lord. What does Rev 1 have reference to? Rosh Hashana. The 1st day of the 7th month. Rev 10, has reference to the 10th day of the 7th month or Yom Kippur. Then he continues his description in Revelation 11-14. In Revelations 11, he talks about the two prophets. Their names are Eldad and Medad. They are twins in Jerusalem. Their ministry occurs during the 6th archangels time period, 3 ½ years or the 2nd woe. He continues his description all the way to chapter 15. Then he stops again. What comes on the scene. The Temple. What happened on the 15th day of the 7th month. The Feast of the Temple.. Then it goes all the way to Rev 22. When does he talk about the 3rd and final wo? Turn to Revelation 16:16. "And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. Armageddwo means, " Mt of Misery and Endless Wo". And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, form the throne, saying, It is done." That is the exact day that Daniel is referring to. What is the sign? DARKNESS. Michael is taking the earth on a little trip through space to the Lord. There you have it! Now, how comes it says in Rev 8:1 that there will be silence in heaven? What do you think is going on in heaven right now? They are working their tails off, because they know they only have 4 years to get it all done, because what happens when the 7th seal is opened? Heaven Rests! There is silence in heaven. Does that mean there is silence on earth? No! When the 7th seal is open it is the Sabbatical millennium where there will be peace and rest (in heaven) and for 22 years heaven will hold its breath. What does all this tell you about the truthfulness of the gospel. If all this is true, then the church is true, because look what Joseph Smith revealed to us. There is going to be a Super Nova in 2011, and there is no other way we could have known if it weren’t for Joseph Smith. I bear you my testimony that it is true. The stakes are high for me to come out and say all this. Do you not think I’m going to be praying hard from now until 2011? You betcha! But see, the spirit has already born witness to me that it is true. Now you need to go home and and pray about it yourself and receive your own witness. You need to prepare spiritually and physically. You have to understand that the Lord doesn’t want anyone to perish. If’s clear in the Pearl of Great Price that from the time when the city of Enoch was translated until the flood, 600 years later, people were being translated up to the city of Enoch. In other words, when the city of Enoch was translated not everyone was worthy, so the Lord gave them a 600 year grace period, so people were being translated during that time right up to the flood. When the flood came, the people that perished were the wicked. It is the same thing that will happen with the baptism by fire. The only thing is we don’t have 600 years. We have until the Sabbatical decade to get ready. We will be caught up to meet the Lord and escape the baptism by fire. The end of the 3rd and final woe is when the Lord reveals himself to all of the army’s of Armageddon.
SIXTH ANGEL (Abel/ ) 2029 to 2033
SEVENTH ANGEL (Adam/Michael) 2033
There is so much we can cover Brothers and Sisters. I have given you my heart and soul. I have been working on this for years. I bear you my testimony that the church is true and that President Hinckley is a prophet, and I also bare my testimony that we are about to enter a new era of the church. When the 7th seal is open we are going to see the dispensation of the fullness of times come to a climax. There is so much more that will be revealed, and it will happen after the 7th seal is opened. There will be new sections of the D&C written through the Urim & Thumim. Who knows, we may already have it. And the Lord is going to give us time to get ready. There is no time to procrastinate. It will take a good 20 years for us to be righteous enough to meet the Lord. As the earth moves into the vortex there will be a huge earthquake. The blood red moon will represent a reflection of all the bloodshed on earth. One last thing about the Super Nova. It will rise in the sky at midnight on Sept 22. It will light up the Eastern sky as if it were dawn. And at dawn we are going to see 2 suns in the sky. Orion is only visible to the Northern Hemisphere and part of the Southern Hemisphere. The very bottom of the Southern Hemisphere can’t see Orion. What are they going to see? There will be multiple signs in the heavens. It just so happens if you live in the Antarctic, Argentina or South Africa you will see a double crescent moon caused by the Orion Super Nova. It would normally be a crescent moon at that time. What do you have to have on Rosh Hashana? A new moon, a double crescent moon. One by land two by sea. One crescent for the first coming. One crescent for the second coming. On Sept 21st, astronomers have a great big telescope. On Sept 21st they are going to alert the whole world that Orion has gone Super Nova. They will see it exploding in their telescope. We cant see it with our naked eye until it climaxes. Now if you haven’t been filled tonight, I don’t know what else to talk about. The spirit has been very strong tonight. I’m really impressed with your responses. I can tell that your in tune and that you’re following the promptings of the spirit. I hope I have given you enough for a foundation. I believe that in the next 4 years life will go on as usual. In the year 2011, life as we know it is going to change. There is going to be havoc on this planet. If everything is dying. What does that mean for us. Zion, the Lord’s people will never ever be destroyed again. I believe that their will be a unification of God’s people in the New Jerusalem, and also in the Old Jerusalem. A lot of you believe in tent cities. I don’t have a problem with that. In the millennium the temple work is going to be going on full force. For a thousand years we will be preparing the earth for a celestial glory. Imagine how fast the next four years are going to go. The beautiful thing about a fireside like this is you can set aside all of the worldly concerns and problems and talk about the things that really matter. Times are going to get worse, but they are also going to get better. Think of all the glorious things that we are going to see happen. The temple is going to go up in Jerusalem. Before the Savior comes, Israel is going to have a monarchy. Someone is going to stand up with the rod of Aaron and he is going to throw his rod on the ground and it is going to become a serpent. He is going to pick it up and it is going to become a rod again. He is going to turn water to blood. He is going to stick his hand in his bosom and it is going to be leperous. He will stick his hand back in his bosom and it is going to be held. Why is he going to do this? When did it happen before? With Moses. What do the Jews seek for? A sign. A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign, but the Lord is going to be merciful unto them. He is going to give them three signs that they know of. The Jews know those signs because it is part of the Torah. And when they see those signs they are going to know that this person is to be crowned King. This is all going to happen in the next 5 years, and it is going to be all over the news. This person is going to take the Urim and Thumim and root out a massive terrorist attack in Israel. It is all in the scriptures! There are three Prophets that are going to arise in Israel before the end. There are the 2 witnesses and this a King. Those 3 individuals in Israel are going to be clues to us that the time is near. There are going to be 2 sets of 12 apostles. One for the New and one for the Old Jerusalem, but one Prophet. Who is going to be the Prophet? Ephraim got the birthright and Ephraim is in America so the Prophet will dwell in the New Jerusalem.
Brothers and Sisters I don’t have all the answers, but I have studied, and I can explain it to you. It is right there in the scriptures. You have to ask and then you have to study. What happens when you intensely study. You have to rest. Then you go back to it. He wants you to feast upon the word. Study and pray and you will get answers. Aren’t the scriptures beautiful? Every thing fits together like a glove! What do the scriptures teach you about the Adamic language. It is coming back! For the next thousand years we are going to be doing temple work and learning a new language. If you are fluent in the Adamic language you can’t help but be more righteous for they play off of each other. You will see it in the book I am writing. Every single picture in the Adamic language has spiritual implications.
The 40 is not figurative in the scriptures. It is a very important part of the Lord’s calendar. When the Lord was baptized he fasted 40 days and 40 nights. Then what happened? He began his ministry. That nested cycle goes on over and over in the scriptures. Take the flood. When the flood started it rained 40 days and 40 nights. When the Israelites left Egypt and crossed the Red Sea they traveled 40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness to Mt. Sinai. It was a crueling trip! They thought they were going to die of thirst. Who else fasted for 40 days and 40 nights. Elijah! Where does it occur again? With Jonah. He preached with the people of Ninevah 40 days and 40 nights. They fasted and were forgiven. It happens again in the Lord’s ministry. In Acts, after he had been resurrected He visited His disciples 40 days and then he ascended into heaven. It happens between Passover and Pentecost. When is it going to happen in our day? After the 2 witnesses are killed. The Abomination of Desolation will be set up for 40 days. What does that mean? It is when an Anti Christ goes into a house of God and desecrates his house. That is the Abomination of Desolation. For 3 ½ years the 2 witnesses are going to protect the temple in Jerusalem. When the 2 witnesses are killed the Anti Christ is going to gain access to the temple and is going to desecrate the temple for 40 days. Who else defiled the Lord for 40 days? Goliath! If you read the account of King David it says in the book of Samuel that Goliath defiled the living God for 40 days, and that is why King David killed Goliath on Pentecost. The Lord always repeats himself. The book of Daniel talks about the Abomination of Desolation for 40 days. It is after the Abomination of Desolation brings the 3rd and final wo. The Anti Christ will appear very shortly after the 3 witnesses will be called. That doesn’t mean that he isn’t living now it just means that he will come to power, reach the pinnacle of his power after the 2 witnesses are called. Everything is going to come to a head. The 2 witnesses are going to use the power of the priesthood to control the physical elements and protect the people of God in the temple. And the Anti Christ is going to have power over the entire world except in the New Jerusalem and the Old Jerusalem. How is he going to get control. Through the internet! You know that 666 in Revelation? That is a mistranslation. It’s WoWoWo! It says in Revelation that the Anti Christ will cause everyone in his power to have a mark in his forehead or his right hand? What is that? Computer Chips. Some people already have a chip imbedded in their body. Revelation talks about the bottomless pit. I believe the bottomless pit is our oil reserves. It is only in the last 100 years that we have used oil-fossil fuels to live on. All the other centuries before we didn’t have fossil fuels in the picture. I believe the bottomless pit, where all these modern weapons are coming from are our oil reserves. Read about it in Revelations. What comes out of the bottomless pit? All of our weapons, planes, tanks, helicopters, bombs! It all comes from fossil fuels. And who has a key to the bottomless pit? Lucifer!
3 ½ years on the Lord’s calendar is how many days? 1,260. How many days is three and half years on our calendar? 1,278. So anytime you see 1,260 days in the scriptures, talked about over and over again in the scriptures and it is a clue that it is the Lord’s calendar. Where it talks about the flood waters being upon the earth 5 months or 150 days. Since when is 5 months 150 days? It is a clue that it is in reference to the original calendar, but not ours today. The secret to the original calendar – it is in the book and I want to share it with you. The solar year minus the lunar year equals exactly 10 days of the original calendar. That is the formula! Why is that so important? What is going to happen exactly 10 years and 10 days after the opening of the 7th seal? 9/11! Ten days on the original calendar is the difference between the solar year and the lunar year. It wasn’t always that way. Originally the solar year and the lunar year coincided. There were 360 days to a year, 12 months to a year, 30 days to a month, and the lunar month was 30 days. A perfect calendar. You can see that God was the author of it. Perfect 360 days, one eternal round! What happened? The city of Enoch was translated, and when it was translated the calendar changed. Enoch knew that it was going to change and so he left us his calendar. It says that Enoch prophesied that the year was going to go from 360 days a year to 364 years, because it was an exact multiple of 7. Who was the 7th Patriarch? Enoch. And Enoch prophesied this. Why ? (Someone asked a question – this was Dr. Cohen’s answer: If the earth becomes lighter then the earth spins faster so the days are shorter. The original tilt to the earth was 40 degrees. It is now 23 ½ degrees). Getting back to the calendar: When the city of Enoch was translated there were 364 days to a year. Who was born when the city of Enoch was translated? Noah. Noah wanted us to stay oriented to the original calendar so all the dates of the flood are relative to his birth. When the flood changed the calendar changed again. How? When the flood came waters came from inside the earth out and flooded the planet. Then God sent a great wind to make the waters evaporate. If you talk to the meteorologists and astronomers they will tell you that if water evaporates it all comes back down because of gravity, but if God sends a great solar wind, what does the solar wind do with that water? It strips it into outer space and therefore it doesn’t come back to the earth and the earth becomes lighter, and therefore it spins a little faster and there you have 364 to 365 days in a year. If you read the account in Genesis, it talks about a great mist coming out of the ground to water the garden of Eden. Flood waters didn’t come from just rain but also inside the earth This is the secret of the calendar and how we get back to the original calendar, so for 5000 years the calendar has been different. Joseph Smith did give us one clue, in D&C 20, he said that the church was organized in the year 1830 of the coming of our Lord in the flesh. What does that tell us about the absolute length of our solar year? That the absolute length of our solar year never changed through all this. If Joseph Smith is correct, AND HE IS! It is a very important concept. I go over this in the book. So I hope you have been edified. You are a wonderful group of people. (Tape ran out)
