I do not recommend this if you have a weak stomach.
I am embarrassed for the quote medical profession that would support this in any way:

USING POT CAUSES STUPIDITY AND PARANOIA - THIS PROVES IT
Yep, I knew there was a problem with my MIL and BIL were using and pushing this stuff. And, I have to say, I have never met anyone more paranoid than my MIL:

M2C - MESO AMERICA TO CUMORAH
Okay, so I have to share from an e-mail thread I had the other day:
I think M2C stands for Middle America OR MesoAmerica to Cumorah.
I CANNOT STAND the intellectuals (Pharisees) in the
Church…. They drive me absolutely nuts. Stick with Joseph Smith I
always say. He kind of had the inside track on that kind of stuff
(sarcasm). I cannot believe someone would discount those who were right
there. All of this intellectualism came about in the early 1900’s.
So much as hi-jacked back then, from the banking system by the Fed to our Republican form of
government by the Progressives and democratists to so much else. The Church’s base teachings were, as well.
I still will not read Jesus the Christ simply because of the
author’s views on evolution which also crept into the Church at the same time due to
his intellectual pontificating.
I sincerely hope he is simmering in the pokey for a little
bit for what damage he did in the Church and to good men like Bishop John Koyle
who had real gifts that an intellectual will NEVER have because they rely on
the arm of flesh instead of the Spirit. Stuff like that should not go
unpunished. He was half way to Snufferism with his apostasy – but you at
least have to give snuffer his dues for trying to stick to the base teachings
of Joseph Smith…
Ok – rant off.
Hope you are all having a good day.

I am trying to find out what M2C stands for. I do not see a
description. I can see where this could become a point of major conflict with
members. It is very obvious to me. I fully accept the heartland model. It is so
right on so many fronts.

America" – The North American Setting for the Book of Mormon

Posted: 28 Jan 2019 06:30 AM PST
At Stake Conference this weekend, we
sang “An Angel from on High,” a song that ought to settle the
Cumorah issue because it’s based on actual Church history, not the M2C
philosophies of men.
Even before he obtained the plates,
Joseph knew the name of the hill was Cumorah because Moroni told him. We know
this from Joseph’s mother, Lucy Mack Smith.
When he went on his mission to the
Lamanites with Parley P. Pratt, Oliver Cowdery explained to people that
Moroni said the hill was called Cumorah anciently.
Pratt wrote this hymn that
memorializes what Moroni told Joseph Smith that first night–years before
Joseph obtained the plates.
First verse:
1. An angel from on
high
The long, long
silence broke;
Descending from the
sky,
These gracious
words he spoke:
Lo! in Cumorah’s
lonely hill
A sacred record
lies concealed.
Lo! in Cumorah’s
lonely hill
A sacred record
lies concealed.
_____
Oliver Cowdery wrote the most
detailed account of Moroni’s visit, now found in Letter IV, which you can
read in Joseph Smith’s personal history, here.
During his first visit to Joseph,
Moroni explained that the history was “written and deposited not far from”
Joseph’s home; i.e., Mormon and Moroni abridged the records while living in
western New York.
This was well understood during
Joseph’s lifetime. For example, Heber C. Kimball joined the Church with Brigham Young
when they lived in western New York. (Kimball was later one of Brigham
Young’s counselors in the First Presidency.) Kimball wrote,
“In the towns of Boomfield, Victor, Manchester, and in the regions round about, there were hills upon the tops of which were entrenchments and fortifications, and in them were human bones, axes, tomahawks, points of arrows, beads and pipes, which were frequently found; and it was a common occurrence in the country to plow up axes, which I have done many times myself. I have visited the fortifications on the tops of these hills frequently… The hill Cumorah is a high hill for that country and had the appearance of a fortification or entrenchment around it. In the State of New York, probably there are hundreds of these fortifications which are now visible, and I have seen them in many other parts of the United States.” Life of Heber C. Kimball, p. 25.
Our M2C scholars teach that
President Kimball didn’t know what he was talking about.
Ask your Seminary or Institute or
BYU or Sunday School teacher about President Kimball’s statement. Most
likely, they have never heard what President Kimball wrote. They’ll consult
the “experts” and come back to tell you President Kimball was mistaken, or
speculating, or ignorant, solely because of M2C.
_____
It’s all very simple. The
prophets have consistently and persistently reaffirmed this basic teaching
that the hill Cumorah of Mormon 6:6 is in western New York.
Nevertheless, the M2C intellectuals
(who, unfortunately, are very influential) have persuaded many members of the
Church to disbelieve the prophets.
At least we have this hymn to remind
us of what really happened.
Full lyrics.
The long,
long silence broke;
Descending
from the sky,
These
gracious words he spoke:
Lo! in
Cumorah’s lonely hill
A sacred
record lies concealed.
Lo! in
Cumorah’s lonely hill
A sacred
record lies concealed.
It has for
ages lain
To wait the
Lord’s command,
From dust to
speak again.
It shall
again to light come forth
To usher in
Christ’s reign on earth.
It shall
again to light come forth
To usher in
Christ’s reign on earth.
And makes
the remnant known
Of nations
long since dead,
Who once had
dwelt alone.
The fulness
of the gospel, too,
Its pages
will reveal to view.
The fulness
of the gospel, too,
Its pages
will reveal to view.
The
long-expected day;
Let earth
obedience yield
And darkness
flee away.
Remove the
seals; be wide unfurled
Its light
and glory to the world.
Remove the
seals; be wide unfurled
Its light
and glory to the world.
Shall now be
gathered home,
Their wealth
and means employ
To build
Jerusalem,
While Zion
shall arise and shine
And fill the
earth with truth divine.
While Zion
shall arise and shine
And fill the
earth with truth divine.

E. Tullidge, 1806-1873

THEY ARE FLOATING POST-BIRTH ABORTION
These sickos. I just cannot believe I live in a world where these people are not summarily marched to the town square and hung for outright abuse of God's laws.
How can this continue to go on. And then I call for the Lord to bring this whole house of cards down - even if I go with it, as Samson did. So be it.
We cannot pass this hell along to the next generation. God MUST not allow it. So, when Albany and so many other places are burned to the ground by fire from the skies, will I mourn? Nope. Not in the least. Because we vote these sickos in who consider life just a mere inconvenience.
All I can say is that I am actually glad I do not possess the keys to do so - or I would personally call down fire from heaven. I had a conversation with someone the other day wherein I said I envy the role of Destroying Angels. That is my dream job. I would just start torching each and every place that even breathed out support for these hellish acts.
The stupid people living under the illusion that they can get away with such things, might actually brighten up and see the tit for tat relationship and cut it out already. Part of the problem is that there is no immediate feedback - so wicked people just keep keepin' on in more and more perverse things until there is no turning back. How nice would it be that the minute that they announce on CNN the "great victory" for woman's rights in post-birth abortion and then there is suddenly a breaking news report of the entire city of Albany disappearing in a bright fireball? Sounds perfect to me. Timing is everything.....
I just get tired of having to endure this open mocking of good principle while good people and principles get thrown further and further under the bus....
https://freebeacon.com/issues/northman-on-40-week-abortion-bill-infant-would-be-delivered-and-then-a-discussion-would-ensue-between-the-physicians-and-the-mother/
Heaven help those who see this as an affront to flee at the correct time so that we are not caught up in the mayhem that surely will follow.

NO NEED FOR ABORTION
This is exactlly how I feel. Please do not play God. Too many have been told the mother will never make it or the baby will never turn out right, only to have the opposite be true. I do not live well with regret. Better to just take yer chances and let the chips fall where they may.
Posted previously by Sarah Cleveland:
Posted previously by Sarah Cleveland:
Let me be VERY CLEAR. Not only is there no such thing as a necessary late term abortion, but there is no such thing as a necessary abortion IN ANY TERM. I am a nationally registered ultrasound tech specializing in OB/GYN with 12+ years experience. If there is an emergency situation during the second or third trimester, the mother is rushed to the hospital where she is immediately hooked to a monitor. Her belly (the baby) is also strapped to a monitor. Vitals for BOTH MOTHER AND BABY are done. Meds are pushed. Exams are completed. Blood drawn. Contractions monitored. We have TWO patients.
If there is a true emergency (high blood pressure due to pregnancy, for example) doctors will in fact end the pregnancy to save the mother. It is called an EMERGENCY C-SECTION. The baby is out- maybe very early, but the baby is out- and cared for. The pregnancy has ended and Mom can be cared for. Isn't that the so-called point of why pro-choicers advocate for abortion? That they need to be able to "terminate the pregnancy to save the life of the mother"? Well, here ya go. Emergencies ending in c-sections, ending the pregnancy and saving the mother, happen all the time.
You know what doesn't happen all the time? As in, like, never? An emergency abortion. There is NO SUCH THING. Never in the 9 years while working in a large hospital, often in the ER, did I hear the words, "Quick! Get me forceps and suction! This woman needs an emergency abortion STAT!" Why did I never hear these words? Because emergency abortions don't exist.
A late term abortion (often considered beyond 20 weeks of pregnancy) is a 2-3 day procedure. The baby is bigger, the cervix needs dilated and softened, and the "procedure" is more involved. The mother is sent away after day 1 of the abortion only to come back on day 2 or day 3 to complete the expulsion of her dead baby. What life threatening emergency takes 3 days to treat as an outpatient procedure? NONE. A true late term pregnancy emergency would be taken care of in a 20 minute c-section in a hospital, as stated above. In no true emergency is any mother making an appointment: "Yeah, hi. I am having an emergency. I might be dying. I need to have an abortion please... Sure, next Tuesday at 9 sounds great. See you then.. Thanks!" Are you kidding me?! Are people even thinking this through?
Don't believe the lies. There is no need for late term abortion. There is no need for an emergency abortion. There is no need for #abortion. Period.

THE ANTIDOTE TO THE PLAGUES OF REVELATIONS THAT WILL COME UPON US
These plagues are the same as those in Exodus.
There is duality or more in every single event or prophecy that has happened or will happen:
There is duality or more in every single event or prophecy that has happened or will happen:
18 And all saints who remember to keep and do these sayings, walking in obedience to the commandments, ashall receive bhealthin their navel and marrow to their bones;19 And shall afind bwisdom and great ctreasures of dknowledge, even hidden treasures;20 And shall arun and not be bweary, and shall walk and not faint.21 And I, the Lord, give unto them a promise, that the adestroyingangel shall bpass by them, as the children of Israel, and not slay them. Amen.

SUM OF ALL FEARS - AND A POSSIBLE COMPRESSION OF EVENTS
Well, this is gonna be pure conjecture - but I have to say it.
According to Bishop Koyle and the Esdra's Eagle camp, the presidency of Trump and the next conservative president are cut short for some reason.
We know from the statements of other prophecies, that the Saints will be persecuted mercilessly until the best of them cry day and night for deliverance. I can promise you that, if we had the likes of Fancy P. Lousy or any of the loony left in power with little or no opposition to their agenda, the loons would make it worse than the days of nazi storm troopers and so much else. Krystal Nacht would be child's play. I feel we will see things far worse than what they passed through in the pre-Manifesto era. I feel, we will have to worship in the home, with no public meetings possible in most places. I feel we will have our temples shut down. There will be general distress among the faithful Saints on a scope we have not seen in the life of this earth. I know people that I am sure would love to take my life if they thought they could get away with it. Their seething hatred for me is painfully obvious and they attempt to hide it - but they cannot. I pity them - because I have prayed for them and then had to send a couple of them on a hellish journey of learning who really is in control. Trump is experiencing similar headwinds as he is taking on the children of hell at the national level. And trust me when I say that there are many who would love to see him out of the picture. He is a true national hero and a real man. An imperfect one - but a real one. Not the standard limp-wristed soy-boys that the fake media parades around for everyone to emulate....
BUT - in the temporary day of his power, satan and his minions that love and make a lie will have power given to them to overcome the Saints (not necessarily the Aints.... or those who side with the world in this battle for agency). At that juncture, we will have to hunker down and just take the abuse until the Lord is fully justified in sending the angels of destruction upon the world. God cannot act until we are fully ripe - then the Saints are driven into the wilderness and then all hell breaks loose.
We are on the cusp of that. I know it - and you most likely know it. If you cannot sense it, you are part of the problem, and not part of the solution....
So - what if we are in the natural lifetime of the existing players in this final act - and we still need to go through our tribulations and abuse at the hands of these despicable people who are dueling for power right now. Likely, unless an election is stolen, we would logically go through a second term of Trump and then one or two terms of Pence or another conservative candidate (heaven forbid it be the gadianton snake, Romney....). This would put the next possible window for the leftist abuse at 10 years out. I do not believe we have that long.
I always extrapolate things out to the worst-possible scenario and have to wonder if we had a "Sum of All Fears" event where the conservative leadership is taken out and the gads end up seizing power and then abusing the Saints in the next couple of years. Here is the clip from the movie:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-JRSst9siQ
What if this whole SOU snafu is an attempt to have the left recuse themselves and then set the trap for those who decide to show up at the conservative rally (where ever it is held)? The leftists could decapitate the conservative leadership.
Here is the thing: they always announce what they are going to do before they do it. It is a rule of the satanic cabal that they must do this. There was a movie set to release on the very day of the attack that involved a plane hitting a sky scraper in an act of terrorism.... No kidding.
There is a series about the very scenario I am talking about (with Pelosi and cronies safely out of the picture), as Designated Survivor:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_f1v0Nx5Sw
As speaker, she is the next prez when Pence and Trump are out of the way. I would not put it past her - and especially not past hitlery.... That one is PURE evil. If they can separate the dems from the repubs as a pretext of this gubmint shutdown so Trump does this off-site - then we could have a problem....
Not saying this will happen - just that we have some events I feel will have to compress in order for things to logically come about as I expect

A CULLING OF 90 PERCENT
So, I was reading a comment on a discussion on a FB group. The topic had to do with plagues and what happened with the ancient Egyptians when they tried to oppress God's anointed and chosen people. Remember these salient points:
The Jews were the first who had the destroying angel pass over them; then on to those of Sodom-Egypt.
The Jews who ignored the Prophet's counsel, lost folks. The destruction among the wicked Egyptians was far worse as they ignored Moses in a wholesale fashion.
A woman on that FB discussion stated the desolation among the Egyptians was 90% after all the plagues were over. Remember that Revelations states that we will go through the same plagues once again. The desolating sickness has been outlined in Revelations and the antidote given in D&C. Do you remember what that antidote is?
Give heed. Follow the Prophet.
As it says in 2 Nephi 16, only 10% of the population will remain. Great are those words of Isaiah. If this is to be so, then there is only safety in following the words of the majority of the Brethren and staying with the records of the Church. It is simple - but for some, it is incredibly difficult.
There is no such thing as deathbed repentance. Start now. Be earnest.
Once the big events are set in motion - there will be no time to pause and rest. We will all be swept along.

OUR AWFUL STATE
And I am not talking Washington state....
Folks - just following some basic logic here.
I have many people that absolutely resist the notion that VoG could happen to our people (LDS) or our nation.
I find it refreshing when I come across someone who drinks the purple kool-aid like a rabid diabetic on a binge. My best peeps are always the ones who understand that we are on the short run to the end and that we are in a world of hurt. Many times, they will have other insights into the destruction that awaits us.
People I struggle with are the "All is Well in Zion" crowd. They were alive and well in Isaiah's/Lehi's day as well as in Christ's and Abinadi's day. Always the same thing. I trust them about as far as I can kick them. Precisely because their rose colored glasses are a little too thick-lensed for my tastes. I cannot fault a person for trying to be the optimist - but when unbridled optimism borders on the delusional, I take exception.
When the attacks on the PS&RTs and those with gifts start raining down, I see the darkness of their ways and usually go on the attack myself, trying to expose them for who they are. I have several people in my wife's family and in my own that would rather that I shut up. They have proven themselves to be "heads in the sand" kinds of people through other actions. I simply do not trust their judgment, nor their character. As the Book of Mormon has proven (history has a way of repeating itself, does it not?), they usually have a murderous spirit about them - and, as I have said before, they would most likely take the life of Jesus all over again, if He were to make His appearance in no form of glory. When we see him again in SLC after the destruction, those who remain will be overjoyed to be part and parcel of that scene. The rest? They will be moldering in the earth - or on it, as the case may be.
Fact is this - and it is the reason that Spencer has chosen to remain anonymous, though I have sought him out for personal reasons: if we are destroyed to the level that we will be destroyed in this massive quake that is coming, then we are a fallen people who no longer merit the blessings of the Lord. We are the salt of the earth who has lost it's savor and are good for nothing, but to be cast out. To be sure, 90% will be cast out. We, as a people, have fallen. Those who have remained relatively un-sullied from the things of this world will merit going on.
I will take this logical train to the next stop and state that, likely, my impressions (with a little help from my friends) of the endowment, must be correct. We just took two steps back.
The only thing that will get us through is grace, charity, lack of guile, mighty repentance and change of heart, power in the Priesthood and the Atonement and so much else that the modern Prophets have tried to gently nurture us to. God will have an innocent and pure people to start the next phase of this earth's existence. It is a narrow or strait thing that we must pass through. Few there be that find it.
I recently ran into a woman from Arizona who has had a MIGHTY change of heart. She even has stated herself that she does not recognize herself from even a year ago. When I find one, I do a deep dive on them (read; stalker) and you can clearly see the change from the fallen woman to quite an amazing countenance filled with light. She obviously has gotten that, in order to make it through this and have a place holder in the Millennium for her and her children, the mighty change must come about. My only concern as I see this transformation, is that those who have this mighty change, are able to bring their spouse along with them on the journey. It will not do to be unequally yoked in this endeavor.
Anyway - yes, if you accept VoG, then you must accept that we are worse than we really are on the surface.

I cannot fault a person for trying to be the optimist - but when unbridled optimism borders on the delusional, I take exception.
When the attacks on the PS&RTs and those with gifts start raining down, I see the darkness of their ways and usually go on the attack myself, trying to expose them for who they are. I have several people in my wife's family and in my own that would rather that I shut up. They have proven themselves to be "heads in the sand" kinds of people through other actions. I simply do not trust their judgment, nor their character. As the Book of Mormon has proven (history has a way of repeating itself, does it not?), they usually have a murderous spirit about them - and, as I have said before, they would most likely take the life of Jesus all over again, if He were to make His appearance in no form of glory. When we see him again in SLC after the destruction, those who remain will be overjoyed to be part and parcel of that scene. The rest? They will be moldering in the earth - or on it, as the case may be.
Fact is this - and it is the reason that Spencer has chosen to remain anonymous, though I have sought him out for personal reasons: if we are destroyed to the level that we will be destroyed in this massive quake that is coming, then we are a fallen people who no longer merit the blessings of the Lord. We are the salt of the earth who has lost it's savor and are good for nothing, but to be cast out. To be sure, 90% will be cast out. We, as a people, have fallen. Those who have remained relatively un-sullied from the things of this world will merit going on.
I will take this logical train to the next stop and state that, likely, my impressions (with a little help from my friends) of the endowment, must be correct. We just took two steps back.
The only thing that will get us through is grace, charity, lack of guile, mighty repentance and change of heart, power in the Priesthood and the Atonement and so much else that the modern Prophets have tried to gently nurture us to. God will have an innocent and pure people to start the next phase of this earth's existence. It is a narrow or strait thing that we must pass through. Few there be that find it.
I recently ran into a woman from Arizona who has had a MIGHTY change of heart. She even has stated herself that she does not recognize herself from even a year ago. When I find one, I do a deep dive on them (read; stalker) and you can clearly see the change from the fallen woman to quite an amazing countenance filled with light. She obviously has gotten that, in order to make it through this and have a place holder in the Millennium for her and her children, the mighty change must come about. My only concern as I see this transformation, is that those who have this mighty change, are able to bring their spouse along with them on the journey. It will not do to be unequally yoked in this endeavor.
Anyway - yes, if you accept VoG, then you must accept that we are worse than we really are on the surface.
PROPHETS, SEERS, REVELATORS AND TRANSLATORS
So, I have been having a series of seriously awesome conversations with a prepper buddy who is one who entertains angels and who has a glorious future in the winding up scenes.
This person makes great calls because of the spiritually-correct world view that they have. And I tell you, as with the hypothetical coming of Jesus to the average throng of LDS today, they would both be killed on the spot for the correct views they hold (they are one in the same with those of Joseph Smith, etc).
One of the points that this person came out with is that we need to be ready to not only follow the Prophet and a majority of the Brethren and follow the records of the Church, but we need to follow those who are also Translators of hidden records. When there is a division in the Church, it will be imperative to follow those with the keys of translation, as it was in the days of Joseph when many aspired to his calling - but did not have those critical keys.
Also, we need to aspire to do what we are shown in the endowment - and that is entertain angels and know how to detect them. There will be many lying spirits about in the coming months and years. Only those who have the Holy Spirit as their guide will be able to make it.

THE DESCENDANTS OF CHRIST
A lot of the posts on this blog are in response to questions I get or interactions I have with people.
One question was, "How do you know that you are a descendant of Christ."
The best answer is to the read Vern Swanson's book "Dynasty of the Holy Grail".
In it, you will clearly have the case laid out that Jesus was married plurally. Through those wives, he has literal seed that have literally spread far and wide. I know there have been studies done on Ghengis Khan's spawn of his rape and pillage. On the flip side of that horror, I would love to see the descendancy of Mary or the Son of God, specifically.
If there is a way to track this bloodline (and I think there is), then I bet it would be extensive. Out of seven survivors of two ships that wrecked off the coast of India in 589BC, there arose over 250,000 not including all those who left the group centered in Nogauker (sp?) - aka City of the Olive Pressers. If Christ had multiple children before the crucifixion, then we can assume between 200-300K descendants. If God allowed them to prosper (not die by disease and other natural culling events) let along having elevated gifts of healing, abundance of the Spirit of the Lord in navigating life's problems, then the numbers could be much higher.
Mary had pasty white skin, jet black hair and I assume brown eyes. Jesus had a facial structure similar to mine and crystal blue eyes (mine are grey blue). How do I know this? Because of the descriptions by those who have seen Him and her. Also, I have a gift wherein I can pick out the descendants of Jesus out - kind of akin to what a Patriarch possesses. I first was made aware of this when I was on my mission. In the city of Joao Pessoa, I was having lunch with a member family of second generation and very faithful. This older married woman kind of ambushed us with her younger sister that had just gotten back from a mission in Brazil. She was beautiful and spiritually gifted as well as filled with grace. I was not attracted to the Brazilian women as I had tried to keep my heart locked - and I did not want any complications of an international relationship. Plus, most were not raised with a good understanding of the Law of Chastity. It is endemic there....as in most tropical countries. Lots of immodesty - lots of promiscuity.
But, this one gal from Joao Pessoa caught my eye. As I listened to her story, I got a strange feeling come over me and the Spirit whispered that these two women were descendants of Christ. As the conversation went on, I found out that the older married sister was having trouble having children due to incompatible blood types and put that in my craw to chew on.
Other than my wife, the women I was drawn to as a single man always fit this mold. My mother called them "Black Irish" or black German or black Welsh. Catherine Zeta Jones is an example of one of these women who come from that line of Judah (in those cases, through Tamera Tephi, step sister of Mulek, etc). My wife is a descendant of Joseph (reddish blonde) and our blood lines are similar.
Joseph Smith was from the marriage of the two lines (Judah/Joseph) through Lucy Mack and Joseph. The Sacred Bloodlines of Mormonism book goes into this in detail.
Anyway, this is the short of it.
There are thousands if not millions of the descendants of Christ out there. If you are magnetically attracted to truth, are filled with the gifts of the Spirit, are filled with grace and truth and repent quickly when you stumble, you fit the bill. Bonus, is pasty white skin and jet black hair (Judah) and crystal blue eyes (HF). As a side note - the achilles heel of Judah is the Law of Chastity. So, be careful on that one. It seems to lead to the fall of that lineage - as Jesus pointed out. A wicked and adulterous generation (His own people) strung Him up..... Not a good legacy to have - but when they fall, they fall hard.....

He is 32 years old, born in the USA, and an extremely well educated Muslim Doctor in Detroit Michigan. (education funded by Soros)
He is handsome, articulate, charismatic and smart.
He is sympathetic of the Muslim Brotherhood, and is running for Governor of Michigan, which is Step 1 in his preparation to run for President of the United States
He has the potential to be Obama #2, but far more openly Muslim.
Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed is an American physician, epidemiologist, public health advocate, and politician. He has announced his candidacy for Governor of Michigan, running as a Democrat.

A MASSIVE WAVE OFF THE PACIFIC - A STORY FOR SISTER BLACK
So, I had a great convo with a woman who I believe is a literal descendant of Christ based on her looking very similar to Mary with crystal blue eyes of the Savior (plus she has a believing heart and wisdom, pronounced gifts of the Spirit, etc).
She and her husband are into preparedness and they have drunk the "Spencerian" kool-aid. Good people who get it. They are from the left coast - but one of the few areas that may not suffer as areas like SF and Seattle, etc will with the lib-tards literally welcoming their demise and slaughter. What a bunch of maroons.....
I was in the middle of my "Bob Maggert, Three Nephite Story" last night when the phone battery went south, so I promised I would publish it again today on my lunch break:
https://woodyoubelieveit.blogspot.com/2010/12/three-nephites-from-catholics.html
The thing that I could not get across is that Maggert has a retreat in eastern WA and I asked him why there and why at elevations above 3000'. He said that in the visions he had when he was in HF's presence, he saw a wave come off the Pacific so high that it went up the Columbia River Gorge and made it all the way into S. British Columbia (at least 1200' elevation).
It will not be at all unsubstantial. A truly devastating event. For those who are of the Holy Seed, and located in the West Coast, it will be imperative to have the Holy Spirit as their guide - and to be able to shelter at elevation until the first wave of destruction has passed and the survivors make their way towards the higher places of safety.
Those who tarry and who ignore the counsel of their leaders, will not make it. It is a very simple principle of survival of the spiritual fittest. The sifting is real - and eminent.
Do not do anything in panic or out of fear - but know the Lord's will concerning your stewardships.

TULUM AS THE CITY OF THE DESCENDING GOD
My family and I had the privilege of going to this city on a canned tour on a Carribean cruise in 2017.
I recorded this on the blog in 2012 and did not make the connection in 2017. I remember the guide talking about the sun coming through the temple on April 6th. Great info:
Here are excerpts taken from this website which you can read in full detail at http://www.yucatan-revealed.com/Christ-In-Tulum.html
Tulum is one of the most intriguing and mysterious of the Mayan cities. In fact, it is not a city at all but a temple complex devoted to the teaching and worship of the Descending God. The Descending God has been so named by the archaeological community because He is always shown with his feet in the air as if he is descending from the sky.
If Christ, having been resurrected, descended from heaven to visit the Maya, He would have come in great glory and the event would have been so singular that its depiction would have been repeated over and over throughout the Mayan world. This is what we see with the Descending God.
In Tulum, we find that the Temple Of The Inscriptions was built to teach all people that the Descending God was and is the supreme God of all Gods and that all things are subject to him.
The murals inside the temple tell the story of three men, who may have been responsible for the building of the temple complex. In these murals the three are portrayed as seers, possibly living in a physical state between life and death.
The outside of the Temple Of The Descending God bears symbology that represents the Descending God as the light and life of the world and that He is the living water and light of the sun. The murals inside the temple, which have great need of restoration, show scenes that depict both heaven and earth and perhaps creation.
The Temple Of The Descending God was built in alignment with both the morning star, or the planet Venus, and the sun so as to mark April 6th as the birthday of the Descending God.
On that day Venus can be seen rising into the night sky directly over the door of the temple and sunlight forms a brilliant star that can be seen only on that day. This is Extremely significantbecause Mayan Gods were known by the day on which they were born. And April 6th is the birthday of the Descending God.
It is interesting to note that the prophet Joseph Smith, who lived in the state of New York, published in 1830 a translated ancient record which told of a personal visit by Jesus Christ to the Americas shortly after His resurrection. In addition, he identified April 6th as the birthday of Jesus Christ. He also identified the ancient name of the city of Zion as being Zama. Zama was the original name for the city of Tulum.
In 1831, when Joseph Smith identified Zama as the name of the city of Zion, Tulum had not yet been uncovered and was overgrown by rainforest. It would not be until 1837 that the jungle would be cut away from the temple complex that we call Tulum. And, it would not be until late into the 20th Century before the April 6th phenomena would be documented and the original name of Tulum be identified as the same name Joseph Smith had used more than a hundred and fifty years earlier to identify the city of Zion.
It is also interesting to note that included in the translation of the Book of Mormon by Joseph Smith was an account of three men, two of them brothers by the same mother, who were Disciples of Christ and attended to Jesus during his visit to the Americas. The translation indicates that they were seers and were granted the power, by Christ, to live until his second coming in a translated state.
Finally let’s talk a bit about the red hands. In Tulum we see the red hands associated directly with the Descending God.
The 17th Century Spanish historian Lizana recorded that the Maya represented the great God of heaven by symbol of the hand, because with his powerful hands he had performed many powerful miracles amongst the people to include healing the sick.
The color of the hands is significant because red was the color the Mayas gave to the East. The direction from which Christ will come in accordance with New Testament scripture, and the direction from which He would have come if he had visited them.
What is of additional interest is that we find the red hands in many other cities that contain strong evidences of a possible visit by Jesus Christ and which had a belief in the Descending God.

MORONI'S PROPHECY FULFILLED IN THE REMOVAL OF THE INDIANS
Those who will not live God's Law are scattered and smitten.
We are there - and about to be swept off the land for lack of caring to listen to our modern Prophets:

"Moroni's
America" – The North American Setting for the Book of Mormon
|
Posted: 15 Jan 2019 07:00 AM PST
There is an
important intersection between the history of the Church and the history of
the United States that not many members of the Church are aware of. It
involves the specific fulfillment of Lehi’s prophecy in the Book of Mormon.
Last week, I noted that Lehi explained to his family what the Lord
told him about the promised land.
9 Wherefore, I, Lehi, have obtained
a promise, that inasmuch as those whom the Lord God shall bring out of the
land of Jerusalem [i.e., Lehi’s group as well as Mulek’s] shall
keep his commandments, they shall prosper upon the face of this land; and
they shall be kept from all other nations, that they may possess this land
unto themselves. And if it so be that they shall keep his
commandments they shall be blessed upon the face of this land, and there
shall be none to molest them, nor to take away the land of their inheritance;
and they shall dwell safely forever.
10 But behold, when the time cometh that they shall dwindle in unbelief, after they have received so great blessings from the hand of the Lord— 11 Yea, he will bring other nations unto them, and he will give unto them power, and he will take away from them the lands of their possessions, and he will cause them to be scattered and smitten.
Joseph Smith translated this passage
in Fayette, NY, in June 1829. The Book of Mormon was published in March, 1830.
Two months later, Lehi’s prophecy was formally fulfilled by the government of
the United States.
Here’s how the Library
of Congress summarizes the history:
The Indian
Removal Act was signed into law by President Andrew Jackson
on May 28, 1830, authorizing the president to grant unsettled lands west of
the Mississippi in exchange for Indian lands within existing state borders. A
few tribes went peacefully, but many resisted the relocation policy. During
the fall and winter of 1838 and 1839, the Cherokees were forcibly moved west
by the United States government. Approximately 4,000 Cherokees died on this
forced march, which became known as the “Trail of Tears.”
The U.S. government had been
forcibly removing Indians from their tribal lands before this, but this Act
led to the nearly complete removal of Indian tribes east of the Mississippi
(River Sidon).
Here is a map
and painting of the infamous “Trail of Tears.”
Although this map shows the removal
of tribes from the southeast and upper Mississippi River basin in the early
1830s, Indian tribes from Ohio were also removed.
When you follow the history, you see
how literally Lehi’s prophecy was fulfilled.
1. His descendants would dwell in unbelief. 2. The Lord would bring other nations unto them (France and England). 3. Their lands would be taken from them. 4. They would be scattered and smitten.
The Ohio
History Connection explains:
Most Algonquian tribes allied
themselves with the French until France lost its North American colonies
in the French and Indian War (1756-1763). Fearing white settlement of their
lands, many Algonquian-speaking peoples then sided with the British in
the American Revolution, and in the War of 1812. By the 1840s, most
Algonquian-speaking tribes had been forcibly removed west of the
Mississippi under increasingly aggressive U.S. American Indian removal
policies.
Notice how the area around the
Mississippi and east from there has very little land left for the Native
Americans who once lived there.
This strikes me as a direct
fulfillment of Lehi’s warning and prophecy, published in the Book of Mormon
before the Indian Removal Act was signed by the President.
For those unfamiliar with the
proposed geography in Moroni’s America, which is based on the text of the
Book of Mormon, here is a map showing the major areas described in the text.
Recall that Joseph Smith himself
described the states of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois as “the plains of the
Nephites.”
You can see that description here
(scroll down to the last line):

The Book of Mormon makes so
much more sense when we heed and believe the teachings of the prophets,
starting with the New York Cumorah.
