I am glad several people indicated they liked that vid. So did my wife - the information is quite astounding. I initially found it and have very little time, so I was just going to preview and put it on the blog. I could not turn it off. It is too amazing. I watched it well past the midnight hour.
One thing I felt as I pondered on the contents of what I saw over the last couple of days - is that this is a watershed moment for the Chinese. After they come here and witness true Christian behavior as we are subjugated by them, their hearts will be softened and, just as the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled, and the gospel goes to the Jews once again, the "heathen Chinese" will have their shot prior to the burning of the world by fire. God has not forgotten them. God bless that pastor in motivating those youth to understand their heritage!
Fact is this: every nation that has had the gospel taken to it (including Japan and Indonesia, etc), has some of the Blood of Israel within them. I talked about the Samurai class in Japan and how they were some of the scattered people from Jerusalem - likely who fled when my Indian friend, my Irish descendants (Tamara Tephi) and so many in the Americas did (besides the several groups that we know of like the Nephites and Mulekites).
All of that documentation is in the blog. You can search for it in the upper left corner search window using key words.
I know that Joseph talked of Japheth in TTotPJS. I will have do some searching to find the statement about Noah being the grand Patriarch of China.
I love exposing the true history - not the watered down misinformation we are taught in our public screwel system. So glad my kids' teachers and principals, etc are LDS in Cardston. Any other scenario is horrifying to me. Kind of like taking them camping in tents in a forest filled with voracious, man-eating beasts..... My older two were not quite so blessed and had a liberal English teacher that I WILL have a conversation with one day. And I can tell you right now, that this conversation will not go so well - for it will condemn her (probably to hell, unless there has been a mighty change).
There is - and there will be - perfect justice when it comes to my charges. Period. I will not rest until there is. Period.
The principal of Cardston High was just released as our Bishop and put into the Stake Presidency. When he was made a Bishop, I told my wife that he is the best form of leadership I have ever witnessed in this life. I told her that he would at least rise to the level of Stake Presidency the day he was put in, if not higher. We all mourned (my family and I) when he was taken from us - because his primary focus has always been the youth. Those are some big shoes to fill for the new Bishop. I do not envy him.
Some people just have the ability to lead - and to draw others after them. I do not have that gift in any appreciable manner. Jesus was probably the greatest. Joseph Smith was another amazing anomaly. I am sure Adam and Joseph of Egypt were others. I cannot wait to meet some of these amazing personalities.

JD 19:224, Wilford Woodruff, September 16, 1877 (kindle location 188488) ...When the savior comes, a thousand years will be devoted to this work of redemption; and Temples will appear all over this land of Joseph. - North and South America - and also in Europe and elsewhere; and all the descendants of Shem, Ham, and Japheth who received not the Gospel in the flesh, must be officiated for in the temples of God, before the Savior can present the kingdom to the Father, saying, "It is finished." JD 19:231, Wilford Woodruff, September 16, 1877 May God continue to bless us, and guide and direct our labors, is my prayer, in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Orson Pratt, December 10, 1871 Speaker Biography Discourse By Elder Orson Pratt Delivered In The Tabernacle, Salt Lake City, December 10, 1871 (Reported By David W. Evans.) (kindle location 121598)
...Again, we find that it is written in the New Testament, the words of Jesus on the same subject, that in the mouths of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. Indeed, is that so? Are two or three witnesses sufficient to condemn the whole world of mankind, and to leave them without excuse? Jesus says so: every word shall be established in the mouths of two or three witnesses. This is in accordance with what took place in the days of the flood. Noah, Shem, Ham and Japheth were the only witnesses that went forth to warn that generation of a terrible judgment that was to come on all flesh if they did not repent. They did not receive the testimony of those four men and consequently they were overthrown by the flood. God does therefore condemn the children of men by the number of witnesses that seems to him good to communicate, or through whom to communicate, a message to them. Now then, let us come back again. Here was Joseph Smith, a boy, his very youth ought to testify in his favor, for when the Lord first revealed himself to that little boy, he was only between fourteen and fifteen years of age. Now, can we imagine or suppose that a great impostor could be made out of a youth of that age, and one that could reveal the doctrine of Christ as he has revealed it to this generation? Would he stand forth and bear testimony that he had seen with his own eyes a messenger of light and glory, and that he heard the words of his mouth as they dropped from his lips and had received a message from the Most High, at that early age? And then, after having declared it, to have the finger of scorn pointed at him, with exclamations, "There goes the visionary boy! No visions in our day, no angels come in our day, no more revelation to be given in our day! Why he is deluded, he is a fanatic;" and to have this scorn and derision and still continue to testify, in the face and eyes of all this, while hated and derided by his neighbors, that God had sent his angel from heaven. Can you imagine that a youth would do this?

ReplyDeleteTo me what was interesting was all the people who left over the revelation that Joseph Smith looked at seer stones in a hat for revelation.

Getting inspiration from a stone that you view in a hat - Nope that's just too much for me. I'm out of here.
From your posting "I know that Joseph talked of Japheth in TTotPJS. I will have do some searching to find the statement about Noah being the grand Patriarch of China."
