CLEON SKOUSEN - THE FOUR GROUPS WHO WILL PARTICIPATE IN THE REBUILDING OF THE NEW JERUSALEM

I have a FB pal that aligns with my thinking more than anyone - who believes that she will be part of the group to create the NJ and to participate in the gathering afterwards.  This is a description of that event by Cleon.  It aligns closely with what Spencer had to say - however, Spencer focused more on the mechanics of the spiritual aspect as opposed to this more temporal visage of it:

THE LORD WILL DEPEND UPON FOUR GROUPS TO REBUILD AMERICA AFTER THE CLEANSING

There will be a gigantic task to perform after America has been cleansed of her wickedness but the wreckage and ruin of a whole civilization has been left behind.

THE FIRST GROUP

The first group will be the righteous saints whom the Lord has preserved. All these will have been disciplined in Priesthood principles and will have studied God’s law so they will know’ what to do. In very short order, the other groups will lean upon this first group for guidance.

THE SECOND GROUP

The second group will be made up of the members of God’s kingdom from all over the world. After America is cleansed and the clouds of the second dictatorship are beginning to replace the first dictatorship the Saints will be anxious to rally when the Priesthood leaders sound the trumpet and call them to gather to America. The Lord says:
“Yea, the work shall commence among all the dispersed of my people, with the Father, to prepare the way whereby they may come unto me, that they may call on the Father in my name. Yea, and. then shall the work commence, with the Father, among all nations, in preparing the way whereby his people may be gathered home to the land of their inheritance.” 52
And of course for the members of The Church, that’s America! The Lord speaks of these gathering Saints from all over the world in a modern revelation:
“And it shall come to pass that the righteous shall be gathered out from among ALL NATIONS, and shall come to Zion, singing with songs of everlasting joy.” 53

THE THIRD GROUP

The third group to help reconstruct the western hemisphere will be the righteous gentiles who survive the cleansing. This is an interesting group of people. They are of many faiths. They love the Lord, they bow the knee in contemplation of his coming. They admire his Church and love the Saints. But they don’t join the Church. Nevertheless, they want to live under God’s Law and be part of God’s kingdom. The amazing part is that God extends an invitation to the righteous gentiles to be part of the political kingdom of God.
Brigham Young knew that a lot of the Saints would expect the kingdom of God to be only members of the church, but President Young said that is not the way the Lord planned it. Here are his words:
“The Kingdom of God [Those living under God’s Law] consists in correct principles; and it mattereth not what a man’s religious faith is; whether he be a Presbyterian, or a Methodist, or a Baptist, or a Latter-day Saint or ‘Mormon,’ or a Catholic or
Episcopalian, or Mohammedan, or even pagan, or anything else, if he WILL BOW THE KNEE AND WITH HIS tongue CONFESS THAT JESUS IS THE CHRIST, and will support good and wholesome laws for the regulation of society, we hail him as a brother, and will stand by him while he stands by us in these things; for every man’s religious faith is a matter between his own soul and his God alone.” 54

THE FOURTH GROUP

Finally, there is the fourth group will help restore the western hemisphere. These are the peacemakers . They are people in other parts of the world who see they are about to be drafted into Prince Gog’s vast, second dictatorship. They may have even heard that he has ambitions to set up an army of 200,000,000. 55 So all of these are allowed to flee to America. The Lord says:
“And it shall come to pass among the wicked, that every man that will not take up his sword against his neighbor must needs flee unto Zion for safety.” 56
How grateful these peace-loving families will be after Prince Gog gets going with the second dictatorship. The scripture says:
“And there shall be gathered unto it out of every nation under heaven; and it shall be THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT SHALL NOT BE AT WAR ONE WITH ANOTHER.” 57

SETTING UP THE NEW ORDER OF THINGS

Once all of these choice groups of people are in place they will set about building the New Jerusalem and setting up ideal Zion cities from one end of the American continent to the other. To accomplish this, the whole structure of government and economics will be changed as well as the adoption of a highly elevated society. Here are the highlights:
  1. The people will be organized by families into tens, fifties, hundreds and thousands. The unit of around one hundred families will be called a secular, non-denominational “ward” similar to the Anglo Saxons and ancient Israel.
  2. The judges or captains over each unit of ten, fifty, hundred and thousand families, etc. shall be elected each year and will be selectively nominated by the supreme councils and their officers as described in Exodus, chapter 1. This procedure eliminates the need for political parties.
  3. The people will be governed by the original inspired Constitution as revealed to the Founding Fathers and endorsed by the Lord in 1834. 58
  4. Civil and criminal law are to be administered according to the law revealed to Moses on Mount Sinai as set forth principle by principle in chapters three to nine inclusive in the author’s text, The Majesty of God’s Law, Ensign Publishing Company,1996, pp.3
  5. The economy will be practiced in harmony with the principles laid down byAdam Smith in 1776, but in the spirit of the Golden Ru1e.
  6. The money system will be based on gold and silver with silver as the basic medium of exchange and gold circulating at free market value. Paper money issued by the government will be redeemable in precious metal and have reserves in the vaults for any currency issued. Borrowed money will be based on guaranteed collateral at market value.
  7. God’s “law of consecration” will be allowed to operate under the control of God’s kingdom for those who have qualified in the temple and prefer its practice to the system of competitive free enterprise.

    Oh the arrogance and pride of the LDS way of thinking. Reread the prophecies again and learn who was promised this land as an inheritance. From our Lord in 3 Nephi 21 starting with verse 2 which tells us that the Gentiles (LDS folk D&C 109-60) will first receive the gospel and then bring that knowledge to the lost and scattered remnant, who will be the ones to build the New Jerusalem.
    Verse 9; “For in that day” which is about to take place real soon, for which there are among us (LDS members) “those who will not believe it, although a man shall declare it unto them.”
    Verse 10; That man is not Joseph Smith, because he was “hurt” and killed by them, so how could the Lord “heal him” if he is dead.
    Verses 13-21; The warnings of destruction for all those Gentiles (for which we are lumped with as this prophecy comes from the perspective of those who wrote the Book of Mormon) willing to repent and “come unto my Beloved Son, them will I cut off from among my people, O house of Israel.” We MUST come unto the Lord and not by or through any man, or organization. It is direct and personal.
    Verse 22; Tells us that we may gain an inheritance with them, whom the Lord gave this land to.
    Verses 23-24; “And they…” (worthy gentiles) “…shall assist my people, the remnant of Jacob” and now all the others that Skousen talks about in this process of building the NJ.
    Verse 25; Know that the “power of heaven” will be with this Zion like people who are worthy to be in the presence of the Lord. What makes a person or people Zion like? Those are the ones who will be gathered.
    Verses 26-29: This prophecy now shows the work that was left undone in Joseph Smith’s day and will once again begin a new, for the Lord will be in charge, not men (2 Nephi 4:34).
    Please study these verse from our Lord and pray to know the truth!

    When a person joins the church they are still Gentiles until the baptism of fire and the Holy Ghost make each person who experiences this epiphany a literal seed of Abraham and thus the Remnant of Israel. Gentile members who will not allow Christ to convert them are the Gentiles who reject the fullness of the Gospel prophesied in the BoM.The North American Indians who have had their calling and elections made sure are the ones who build the New Jerusalem under the direction of chosen members of the church who are of the tribe of Ephraim. The only way any of us can come unto the Lord is through His church. Period.
