EMPTYING OF THE GRAIN SILOS RIGHT BEFORE THE CALAMITY

 I love Bishop Koyle.  As far as prophets (lower case 'p'), he may be considered one of the greatest in this last dispensation.  Probably greater than Heber C. Kimball.

My good buddy up here in Alberta recently complained that his sources said the grain elevator in Magrath, AB has been completely emptied by the church administrator and it will lie empty for the next while?  Not sure if it was old wheat, or what - but that detail is distressing to me.  The silo was built at the request of one of the Apostles in the 1980's to supply against a time of famine when the refugees were gathered to this area.  After learning of this, I also found out that the silos on Welfare Square were emptied, as well and sold to the Chinese (was someone trying to be a good global citizen? - or was it a gadianton selling the Lord's people down the river??).  I likely will never know.  Here is a disturbing prophecy in light of the above intelligence:

Carter Grant recorded some of his conversations with Bishop Koyle on these important matters:

Wednesday, March 4, 1931:

Last night Brothers William A. Jones, Clyde Hood, Philip Tadje, Richard Sonntag, and I went to Brother Koyle's, arriving at 8:00 p.m. After asking each one of us about the hard times, getting what we knew, Brother Koyle opened declaring that they would grow worse and worse each week; that even the Church would become so hard pressed that the cry of the needy could not be satisfied.

Also he said, "We will have a mild open winter after the mine comes in, which will permit us to pour concrete all winter long to build the grain bins He spoke of a fall following the dry, hot summer that would be more like spring when the mine turned out, and it would be followed by a very mild, open winter which would permit the uninterrupted construction of a series of large grain bins, or elvators which would hold a million bushels of wheat. These would be built high on the hill near the mine and get them filled up against this time of great distress and famine. These would hold one million bushels of grain. This we would do, he said, barely in the nick-of-time before it would be too late when no more food supplies could be purchased at any price. This would keep many, many thousands of people from starving during the time of famine. At the very same time, he saw that the 315,000 [bushel] grain elevator built at Welfare Square in Salt Lake City would be entirely empty right at the time it would be most needed.

To my knowledge, the Dream Mine has not been worked and the grain bins have not been built, but I would not be surprised if this went down this fall/winter or one year from then....

FAULTS GIVEN TO THOSE IN HIGH PLACES SO WE CAN LEARN NOT TO RELY ON THE ARM OF FLESH

 Great article or talk by President Benson;

https://www.latterdayconservative.com/ezra-taft-benson/be-not-deceived

Loved this!!  Applies perfectly to our day.  It gives me great hope in the face of "Follow the Prophet (at any cost)" attitudes.

I only follow Christ and the scriptures given to me by Him.  Seek Him only - and in ALL things.

Folks, I am seeing the tsunami mounting off the shore.  When we finally see it coming, we will barely make it to high ground.

This is a covenant with death.  I am sure of it.  I will not willingly submit.  I am afraid our goose is cooked.  The Lord will lead His elect to places of safety.  I am more and more becoming convinced that a total separation will be required in order to not have this affect the reproductive health of you and your children.  Isaiah 28.

FALSE BELIEFS OF INFALLIBILITY

 I hope the perception is not that I am tearing down the Lord’s anointed - but I will tear away at false notions.

I have an old Boeing buddy that is getting baptized in four weeks.  I am encouraging him to gain a testimony of the Book of Mormon which will lead him to Christ while a secondary witness will be obtained of Joseph Smith who was called to direct this latter-day work as the Dispensation head.  

If my intentions were warped, I would be dissuading him.  My only dissuasion has only been to not fall for the cult of personality in leader or ship or falling for a pretty sister missionary, etc.  Do it for truth’s sake.

Here are the quotes:

You will NEVER find this declaration in scripture.  It is a "tradition"... HERE ARE JUST A FEW STATEMENTS OF GA TRUTHS ON THIS MATTER...

I make no claim of infallibility.”

Spencer W. Kimball, Improvement Era, June 1970, p. 93

“We make no claim of infallibility or perfection in the prophets, seers, and revelators.”

James E. Faust, Ensign, November 1989, p. 11

“The First Presidency cannot claim, individually or collectively, infallibility.”

George Q. Cannon Gospel Truth: Discourses and Writings of President George Q. Cannon, 1957, 1:206

“We respect and venerate” (the prophet), but “we do not believe that his personal views or utterances are revelations from God.”

Elder Charles W. Penrose, Millennial Star, 54:191

“Even the President of the Church has not always spoken under the direction of the Holy Ghost.”

Elder J. Reuben Clark, quoted in Faithful History: Essays on Writing Mormon History, p. 82

“…if He (God) should suffer him (Joseph Smith) to lead the people astray, it would be because they ought to be led astray…it would be because they deserved it…”

Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, 4:297-298

“The First Presidency have of right a great influence over this people; and if we should get out of the way and lead this people to destruction, what a pity it would be! How can you know whether we lead you correctly, or not? Can you know by any other power than that of the Holy Ghost? I have uniformly exhorted the people to obtain this living witness each for themselves; then no man on earth can lead them astray.”

Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, 6:100

“I am more afraid that this people have so much confidence in their leaders that they will not inquire for themselves of God whether they are led by him. I am fearful they settle down in a state of blind self-security, trusting their eternal destiny in the hands of their leaders with a reckless confidence that in itself would thwart the purposes of God in their salvation…Let every man and woman know, by the whispering of the Spirit of God to themselves, whether their leaders are walking in the path the Lord dictates, or not.”

Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, 14:205

“Individual members are encouraged to independently strive to receive their own spiritual confirmation of the truthfulness of Church doctrine. Moreover, the Church exhorts all people to approach the gospel not only intellectually but with the intellect and the spirit, a process in which reason and faith work together.”

IF IT’S GOOD ENOUGH FOR PRESIDENT NELSON, IT IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME

 If I hear this intellectually and spiritually lazy statement one more time, my head will explode.  I really do not care if I alienate every single person that thinks they re headed to heaven or into the bosom of the Lord.  God will not take a lazy group of people in; on whose belief is that they will be saved because they followed the actions of another without verifying it against the advice of the true Shepherd.

If Revelations 12-18 is talking of a worldwide event that deceives the nations, and this is not it, then pray tell; WHAT IS IT?!?!?

I think President Nelson has done a great job of navigating he shoals of Babylon right up until I saw the needle hanging out of the shoulder on Jan 20th.  Now I am just left scratching my head until I have a bald spot....

Joseph Smith himself warned that we should not be depending on the prophet:   

"PRESIDENT Joseph Smith read the 14th chapter of Ezekiel [see, for example, verses 9-10: 'If the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing...the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeketh unto him.']...said the Lord had declared by the Prophet [Ezekiel], that the people should each one stand for himself, and depend on no man or men in that state of corruption of the Jewish church -- that righteous persons could only deliver their own souls -- applied it to the present state [1842] of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints -- said if the people departed from the Lord, they must fall -- that they were depending on the Prophet, hence were darkened in their minds, in consequence of neglecting the duties devolving upon themselves..." (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith pp. 237-3

I begin to see why Joseph’s last dream was so significant...

SOLOMON’S HILL IN TARSHISH

 This is the second reference this week to Tarshish:

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/apr/25/was-king-solomon-the-ancient-worlds-first-shipping-magnate

He obtained copper using the same shipping network and by going up the St Lawrence Seaway and to the Upper Penninsula in the Great Lakes where float copper was present.  The Bronze Age was largely fueled by this guy.

THE MAN IN THE WHITE ROBES

 This is fascinating analysis:

Enjoy!

As a side note, a friend of mine called me and gave me a raw analysis of Revelations 12.  It reads like the news.  Will have some commentary in the next few days.   

A FULL SEPARATION OF THE WISE AND FOOLISH VIRGINS

I really like this guy and his wife.  He is a former Mission President.  He does not read the scrips thru a pink colored lens.  He reads them through the same lens I do.  One that does not filter to soften the message that the Book of Mormon was written for: US!

Start at six minutes:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7MWx5dpwnY&t=226s

I think the great division is happening right now.  The wicked within the Church (those who support the abortion agenda, the Great Whore or Babylon, and so much else including fear over faith), will divide themselves out.

If you cannot see it, I feel for you. 

OLD CHIEF - A HARBINGER FOR THE FUTURE

 This is very interesting.  Today, I was chatting with a co-worker and we were familiarizing each other with where we are from.  In doing so, I came across this photo of Old Chief:

In this photo, there is no easy way to scale it, but this used to be wide enough to "play a football scrimmage on top of" according to some of my older friends, referencing their hikes to the summit as kids.  Apparently now it is so narrow on top that in some places, you can barely navigate it's knife edge.

The fracturing of it is now so bad that (as you can see), what is left will likely collapse.  In recent years, there have been a series of spectacular rock falls off the north side cliff face.

E.J. Wood may have been parroting the native prophecies about the mountain - but the word on the street is that when there is a great EQ and the mountain crumbles, it is time for the native groups to gather to the area (from off the plains).  This is common knowledge with them.  You have to be a friend of them to get this info out of them - but it is their tradition.

When someone was painting a duplicate mural in the Cardston Temple (there are two instruction rooms whose murals feature this mountain) back in the early 1920's, a complaint was made to President Wood that the murals should depict a more spectacular mountain instead of the local stand-by, Old Chief that could be seen out the windows of certain endowment rooms.  President Wood told the painter to resume and that the mountain would not always be there, so the paintings would serve a good reminder of how things used to be.

So, as with broken institutions from DC and on, I look forward to the crumbling of the old and a new normal of earthly government that includes the Church of the Firstborn with no corrupt (raw evil or faithless or gift-less) middle managers, but a Patriarchal Order comprising a righteous Husband/Wife with Christ at the head (above a very flat org structure, if any).

NEW COVID VARIANT HITTING THE YOUNG HARD?

 Folks, in March 2020 I had three repeating dreams three nights in a row.  In each one, I was shown successively more of an unfolding scenario.  The first two dreams showed almost identical things; namely that there was an irritation from this "Asian" thing that was threatening from a distance but had entered from behind an evergreen tree (Washington state).

In the third dream, it went from an irritation to me being in full retreat mode and being overwhelmed with the threat of this thing.

Later in July of 2020, I was challenged (by a member of the Cardston Temple presidency) about my statement that there would be three distinct waves of this thing.  The one we had just passed through.  Another in the Sept-Nov 2020 wave.  And the third wave would hit in the April-May timeframe and that it would not be a wave, but a tsunami.

Well, I hope I am wrong - but we may be seeing the start of the comeuppance of our Covenant with Death that was made as a people (yes, it is too late to go back on it).  The best people I know have resisted this jab.  Some have been excommunicated over companion issues (not directly related to the jab - but more of following their conscience over man).  I predict (not a far-fetched thing to be able to do considering it is already happening) that we (the humble followers of Christ) will yet have many "Abinadi" moments, and there will yet be many Almas who are saved because of their hearts being pricked as they begin to see things as they really are.  In this separation moment, the wheat and the tares will be tried and tested.  Do we truly Hear Him?  Or do we trust in the arm of flesh (with a needle sticking out of it)?  Do we have faith over fear?  Do we receive revelation directly from the source?  Or do we lazily sit at the bottom of Mt.  Horeb and insist that we not ascend with the Lord's chosen mouthpiece and get this word directly from the source WITH the Prophet of the Lord?  We have a choice.

Through the past few months, I have learned to despise the Primary song, "Follow the Prophet".  Not because it does not do a good job of spelling out the case for heeding scriptural accounts of when things went well, but because it makes for spiritually atrophied people who just sit back and mindlessly follow their leaders, without seeking the Lord's will first, and then once they found that the words of the Prophets aligned with that, then put their shoulder to the wheel behind the mouthpieces of the day.  This spiritual laziness did not work out so well back in Jesus' day.  The very people who should have backed the Son of God, clamored for his crucifixion.  They followed their leaders who had made them twice the children of hell than they themselves were. 

My greatest threat as a patriarch in my own home is de-programming my kids from Seminary teachers who have lost their vision and mindlessly push the agenda of the day, while not allowing for personal revelation.  Most of us will not do the right thing because we would potentially lose our source of income or our prestige in our community.  Our effective means to buy and sell.  We lack courage because we want to dance with the beast, bearing his mark in our foreheads, instead of following Him.  I follow no man, but the Savior.  I will put my effort behind any man that does.  That includes the Prophet, a Bishop or anyone else.  My wife will no longer support me if I choose not to.  There is no covenant between us if it is not founded in the Savior.  Our Savior IS the bond between us.  My wife knows that.  She is an attractive woman.  I have had many men tell me that.  At times, I have felt like Abraham in Egypt.  I did not marry her for her looks.  I married her for her wisdom and her love of Jesus and His word.  Period.

So, when I hear people tell me that they will follow the Prophet no matter what, I tell them to pull their heads out of their arses.  This is a cult of personality.  I follow the Prophet when he speaks for the Lord and when he is following the Lord.  I have and will continue to follow his counsel until that criteria can no longer be met.  In his personal decision to get the jab (which became very public - and really pissed me off), I DO NOT follow him in the least.  If that keeps me from getting a TR, so be it.  And I condemn the man who would do so (keep me from my right in Zion) in blatant error and contrary to good principle.  I condemn no man or woman foolish enough to get an experimental jab that killed ALL of the animals in animal trials after they were exposed to the wild vaccine once again.  It will be fatal, if not leave the males and females sterile.

I had an almost four hour convo last night with an excellent man who mentioned a quote from Mary Lightner Rollins that she predicted that the only the righteous women in the Church would be able to have children.  No offense if you are female and have taken the jab, but I consider the most righteous people I know (humble followers of Christ) to be the ones who have rejected the jab on principle.  I would give my life for most any of them.  The others?  I would not throw it away so cheaply....  When I read this quote (which I can no longer find - please help me out, if you know of it) quite some time ago, I considered that it had to do with the only people who would WANT to have kids would be the righteous females who were not part of the abortive culture of death.  NOW, I understand it to be those who chose not to make a covenant with death who will not be sterile.  We have made a TERRIBLE decision in this Church to emulate the World.  We WILL pay a heavy price.  A very heavy price.

Anyway, the thing I was hoping to get to was this:  we may be turning the corner on this thing and the third wave may be triggering the mid-ocean tsunami indicators....  This in from Brazil:

https://www.straitstimes.com/world/where-covid-19-kills-the-young-brazil-shows-what-may-await-others

If this thing goes after the healthy and younger, typically white/caucasian males - then we are in for a real ride just as I saw.  Your best bet will be to get to the hills and hang out in groups that are free of it (with stringent quarantine protocols for those who seek to join your refuge).  It will produce deaths in nearly every household, and we will finally have a REAL pandemic with real black body bags in front of every house.

I am not saying this WILL happen - but that, based on what I have seen and observed, this is the most logical outcome.  Quite frankly, I am ready for the cleansing.  I am done with the crap and need common sense to reign once again.  In the end, only a tenth will make it.  Just as only 8 made it through the strait watery gate.

ROD MELDRUM AND DNA

 Great vid:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?fbclid=IwAR1XSzNkD0uoqKxd7xUEks-bavrtt0YxsCIXOFEZ6J6uwop1JknnN9AsM6g&v=mADM3RYKl5Y&feature=youtu.be

A COVENANT WITH DEATH REVISITED

 Folks, the more you read this stuff, the more the words of Isaiah become clear.  They were written for our day.  The covenant with death is the injection.  I am sure of it.  Avoid it at any hazard.  The very fact they (the cabal) is throwing everything they have at it, tells you logically that something is amiss.

Here is a translation by Avraham Gileadi that my wife dredged up.  I find it is more expressive than the KJV.  Pray for the spirit of prophecy.  It is the only way to understand these words:

Isaiah 28

Ephraim and its prophets reap disaster for being delusional and for rejecting divine revelation.

1 Woe to the garlands of glory

of the drunkards of Ephraim!

Their crowning splendor has become as fading wreaths

on the heads of athe opulenta overcome with wine.

2 My Lord has in store one mighty and strong:

as a ravaging hailstorm sweeping down,

or like an inundating deluge of mighty waters,

he will hurl them to the ground by his hand.

3 The proud garlands of the drunkards of Ephraim

shall be trodden underfoot.

4 And the fading wreaths, the crowns of glory

on the heads of athe opulent,a

shall be like the first-ripe fruit

before summer harvest:

he who sees it devours it

the moment he has hold of it.

5 In that day shall Jehovah of Hosts

be as a crown of beauty and wreath of glory

to the remnant of his people:

6 a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment,

a source of strength

to those who repulse the attack at the gates.

7 These too have indulged in wine

and are giddy with strong drink:

priests and prophets have gone astray through liquor.

They are intoxicated with wine

and stagger because of strong drink;

they err as seers, they blunder in their decisions.

8 For all tables are filled with vomit;

no spot is without excrement.

9 Whom shall he give instruction?

Whom shall he enlighten with revelation?

Weanlings weaned from milk,

those just taken from the breast?

10 For it is but line upon line, line upon line,

precept upon precept, precept upon precept;

a trifle here, a trifle there.

11 Therefore, by incomprehensible speech

and a strange tongue

must he speak to these people,

12 to whom he said, This is rest; let the weary rest!

This is a respite! But they would not listen.

13 So to them the word of Jehovah remained:

Line upon line, line upon line,

precept upon precept, precept upon precept;

a trifle here, a trifle there, that,

persisting, they might lapse into stumbling

and break themselves,

become ensnared and be taken captive.

14 Therefore hear the word of Jehovah, you scoffers

who preside over these people in Jerusalem.

15 You have supposed, by taking refuge in deception

and hiding behind falsehoods,

to have covenanted with Death,

or reached an understanding with Sheol, that,

should a flooding scourge sweep through the earth,

it shall not reach you.

16 Therefore, thus says my Lord Jehovah:

I lay in Zion a stone, a keystone,

a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation.

They who believe it will not do rashly.

17 I will make justice the measure,

righteousness the weight;

a hail shall sweep away your false refuge

and waters flood the hiding place.

18 Your covenant with Death shall prove void,b

your understanding with Sheol have no effect:

when the flooding scourge sweeps through,

you shall be overrun by it.

19 As often as it sweeps through,

you shall be seized by it:

morning after morning it shall sweep through,

by day and by night it shall seize you;

it shall cause terror merely to hear word of it.

Read it with your quad open, with the original translation in the KJV.  This is as fresh as the morning paper.  Two years ago I would have shaken my head and said “gibberish”.  Today, l am gobsmacked!

WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE WOMEN?!?

 When are the guys going to grow a pair?!?:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?fbclid=IwAR2l-Vaqa65U8fXNaDfN4BHXzKSn6STw0zMygN9c3mArupjCLqXiK1_h8yo&v=bn8JcIGE0b8&feature=youtu.be

A must watch if you want to see passion in a Jewish woman.

WOMEN AND THE HEALING OF THE SICK

 I taught this principle liberally on my mission:

Regarding women healing the sick, Brother Joseph said, "there could be no evil in it, if God gave His sanction by healing; that there could be no more sin in any female laying hands on and praying for the sick, than in wetting the face with water; it is no sin for anybody to administer that has faith, or if the sick have faith to be healed by their administration. TPJS 225

ISAIAH 23 EXPLAINED?

 Wow interesting commentary I picked up off the web:

Nina Esplin  Here is an explanation to those scriptures     The Burden of Tyre. "Howel Ye Ships of Tarshish!" see Isaiah Chapter 23.   Tyre was the Merchant Banking Capital of the Ancient World - It was where all those ancient countries keep their Gold - a lot like Switzerland today a neutral country or Island I should say - not to be attacked. Well, that was until Alexandra the Great came along & destroyed haft the city & took the Gold. as described in the first 5 verses - then in verse 6 it says "Pass ye over to Tarshish; ..." Tyre here is to pass over to Tarshish,(?)

The student manual says that Spain is a "possible location" for Tarshish a "sister merchant to Tyre" However verse 1 tells us that the "ships of Tarshish are to howel for Tyre as it is laid waste - and verse 6 goes on to say howel ye inhabitants of the isle - here is dualism at play - Yes, a reference to the inhabitants of Tyre howling - but also a description of the inhabitants of Tarshish howling on their "ISLE", not on the peninsula of Spain?

Tarshish is a "Twin Merchant Trading Sister, "ISLE" of Tyre" it is a Twin Island to Tyre.

When Jonah ran from his mission to Ninevah he wanted to get as far away as possible from going there - even to the utmost bounds of the then-known world & that was to the ISLES of Tarshish. Jonah 1:3.

Tarshish is the Ancient name for the British Isles. These Islands were, ever, known as ancient trading islands & the schooling of the nobles. Jesus's uncle Joseph of Arimathea was such a merchant that had land & business holdings in the southwest of ancient Tarshish – dealing in Tin, lead & other minerals.

In Ezekiel Chapter 38 verse 13. we have one of the best references To Tarshish being the British Isles in the scriptures for we read:-

“..... and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil?.......”

The “Young Lions of Tarshish were/are the British Dominion nations & commonwealth.

So jumping to verse 14 Isaiah takes us into the future “ again he tells "Tarshish to howl".

"Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste."

What strength?

Well, Ancient Tyre transferred the Merchant banking & world trading over to modern Tyre/Tarshish - The Merchants Banks of London. Remember, London was once the Merchant Capital of the World, in 1800, 1900, half of the 20thC up to the 50s then the decline when the British Empire ended - that is, Great Britain as a leading world power was over & she would be disregarded or “forgotten as the scripture puts it:-

"And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king:...” Isa 23: 15.

When Isaiah uses the phrase ”In That Day” he talking after 1800 in “Our Day” in this dispensation. So modern-day Tarshish – Great Britain – Tyer, is to be forgotten for 70 years according to the days of one king?

Since 1800 there has only ever been one King or rather QUEEN, who has reign for nearly 70 years & that is Queen Elizabeth the 2nd. She is now in the 68th year of her rule, - as the monarch of the British throne (“The Throne of King David” by the way, see the Royal Coat of Arms).

So two more years & the reign is over either she dies of old age or she abdicates, either way, she will be gone according to this scripture, that is, if you believe they apply to Queen Elizabeth. Not only will we see the end of Queen Elizabeth's reign, but I also believe we will see the end to the House of Windsor. - well in fact we are seeing that happening right before our eyes today. Prince Harry has Left the Royal Family, in all reality. Prince Andrew has given up all public office & duties because of the Espiean connection & Prince Charles is not liked because of what happened to Lady Dianna.

The Queen has “played the Harlot” by not keeping her Coronation Oath - by fornicating, through her government, with other nations (Joining the European Union), to rule over the people & therefore committed treason against the people. See Deut 15: 6.

Then after her 70-year reign “Shall Tyre sing as a Harlot” that is the people will take the harp & rejoice in her memory going about the City - this, of course, is also connected to Great Britain leaving the European Union when we are totally free from all European ties. which is finalised in 2022. - Feeling free, we/ the UK, go off making new trade deals fornicating and playing the harlot once again, see verse 16.

However after 70 years are up the Law of return applies to Israel & everything goes back to its original owner, or Master. & verse 17 tells us that the LORD will visit modern-day Tyre - The British People. Modern-day Prophets & Apostles have on many occasions with talks & writings stated "That there is much of the Blood of Israel in the British Isles & People.

Verse 17 goes on to say, that still, after fornicating with the “kingdoms of the world” she comes to her senses, where in verse 18 it declares:-

And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the Lord: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the Lord, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.

This to me, to a degree, ties into Doc & Cov 133:19-34 -. crossing the Great Deep & marching down to Zion bringing with them, their Records/Scriptures/ history & treasures - "A Remnant of (Jack- Jac-ob) Shall Return? Here is & comes, the Lion?.

A PROPHETIC WARNING FOR OUR DAY

 This is from a former missionary companion of mine.  He is in the visual arts field and I think is still working for Disney:

https://youtu.be/RplBQGogYEk

The inspired words here should keep us spurred on and not get complacent.

As the USA gets tangled in the Crimean mess (Russian just kicked any warships other than their own out of the Black Sea, and Ole Dementia Joe just folded like a cheap napkin....), I wonder how long things will hold together.  I just spent a fortune on good batteries for my critical equipment.  Stuff that will be hard to get in times of war, depression etc.

Once again, they are publishing numbers showing that inflation (possibly quite a jump) is imminent.

With bank returns so low, and food prices about to take a major jump, I would rather have food that I can use every day on hand than a pile of money in the bank (not that this is a problem with me with kids just fledging from the nest....).

 Interesting twist on the "need" for a micro-chip....  About six weeks prior to Sept 11, I came home and told my wife that something big was about to happen that would affect my employment.  I was also given instructions regarding the payment of tithing regularly that would help us avoid the dire situation that this event turned out to be for those of us in Commercial Aviation, at the time.  I was not able to even make a wild guess as to what it would be and I never conceived of ramming planes into buildings as a way to make a (supposed) statement regarding terrorism.  It just simply never occurred to me.

Neither has this as a possible "mark of the beast", wherein people would be clamoring for a way to avoid sanctions via having something injected into them in order that they can buy/sell and travel:

Quite fascinating!

THE FATE OF MORONI

 Wow.....  This made me sad to read of this.  I figured he did not die of old age:

“At a meeting at Spanish Fork, Utah Co., in the winter of 1896, Brother Higginson stated in my presence that Thomas E. Marsh told him that the Prophet Joseph Smith told him (Thomas B. Marsh, he being then President of the Twelve), that he became very anxious to know something of the fate of Moroni, and in answer to prayer the Lord gave Joseph a vision, in which appeared a wild country and on the scene was Moroni after whom were six Indians in pursuit; he stopped and one of the Indians stepped forward and measure swords with him. Moroni smote him and he fell dead; another Indian advanced and contended with him; this Indian also fell by his sword; a third Indian then stepped forth and met the same fate; a fourth afterwards contended with him, but in the struggle with the fourth, Moroni, being exhausted, was killed. Thus ended the life of Moroni.” (Evans, Charles David, “The Fate of Moroni, 1897.” Archives Division, Church Historical Department, Salt Lake City UT.)

THE LORD'S LAW OF TITHING - A STEPPING STONE TO CONSECRATION

 I had an interesting comment about tithing:

The law of tithing as taught by Joseph Smith was always intended to be upon a person's surplus. D&C 119 1 Verily, thus saith the Lord, I require all their surplus property to be put into the hands of the bishop of my church in Zion, 5 Verily I say unto you, it shall come to pass that all those who gather unto the land of Zion shall be tithed of their surplus properties, and shall observe this law, or they shall not be found worthy to abide among you. By requiring a person with limited income to pay upon their entire income creates a perpetual cycle of poverty. The man or woman who provides for their family will be always looking for a handout from the church in this scenario. This not only diminishes their sense of personal accomplishment, but creates a welfare state to the church. It literally grinds the faces of the poor. We also misinterpret the scripture in Malachi where we are taught to not rob God. The Lord was talking to the church leader not the member.

I refuse to comment on whether this is right or wrong.  I think tithing is a personal thing.  I can only share my experience.

My co-worker who is struggling with paying a full tithe right now might be in favor of this statement from the commenter.  I know that, for something to have effect, it has to be a sacrifice for that individual.  For love to have efficacy, it requires sacrifice.  Nothing that comes easy, has value.

Of course, the Atonement is the greatest example.  He could have called down a myriad of angels that would have wiped the enemies of righteousness out and excused Him from the suffering he endured on our behalf.  But He gave it up voluntarily, knowing that being Holy, His was the only intermediary sacrifice that could be accepted of God on behalf of another.  He finished His preparations to the Father and then gave up the ghost, gaining victory over sin and death.

My wife and I were going through the seven year itch (struggle) in our marriage and we were not being good to each other.  We were (are) both stubborn and proud.  Neither of us wanted to give an inch to the other.  So, I was counseling with my Bishop and he asked me to just serve her.  As I did, the love and mutual admiration came back into our marriage and love once again blossomed.  This man was not much older than she or I, but he had learned a great lesson already that blessed my life:  when we sacrifice for someone, we prove our love.  As greed and selfishness settle in and become entrenched in a relationship, love is strangled and eventually dies.  Thus the injunction, to pray (a form of service, if only verbal) for our enemies and those who despitefully use us.

If we give a portion of ourselves, it allows us to cleave to that which we seek to love.  Tithing is just that.  The ability to give up what we love (or spend a majority of our time going after in this life) in order to cleave to a greater thing.  We need the principle of tithing more than the Lord does.  How we choose to manifest that, is up to us - but the greater the sacrifice, the greater the love (for the Lord and His Kingdom) and the greater the blessing.  He can only bless us based on our sacrifice.

It must also be remembered that tithing is a lesser law.  The truly greater law is one of Consecration, wherein we lay it ALL on the table in the benefit of man.

As far as the $106 billion goes, I really hope that the policies being used to hoard that much are driven by greedy middle managers and not from the top.  Or I have to trust that a greater plan than I have the ability to see, is in store.  As it stands, I think that is wishful thinking.  Regardless, I will live the Law as it has been given, so that I can have the benefit of the blessings.  I cannot speak of it publicly, but I have seen so many miracles as of late due to having (attempting to live with) a Consecrated spirit.  This is where we all need to be headed if we seek to be a part of what is coming.  If not, we will be among those who are not considered the spiritual fittest, will be considered as dross, and burned at His coming.  Tithing is one of the sifting principles - that will set those who have Babylon near to their hearts, and those who have cleaved to a higher law.

THE FALSE MESSIAH TURNS UP IN JERUSALEM AT THE 42 MONTH POINT?

This may be the smoking gun I was looking for during Passover week of 2021 and at the mid-point of the seven year period since 23 Sept, 2017 when the sign of the woman appeared:

https://watchmenonthepod.com/2021/04/06/mystery-jew-is-33-years-old-not-30-a-genius-in-torah-his-name-is-rabbi-shlomo-yehouda-beri-nicknamed-the-yenuka-not-jizkiahu-ben-david/?fbclid=IwAR2PZCv2GHWJaIreWaKPCQdNWLxEROmd95J57KR5Cyh8BHynjAS_x0ECv1s 

I have to say I am desperate at this point to see some kind of movement on the timeline, because I feel besieged all about when it comes to failure after failure of people who should be knocking things out of the ballpark.

 "They need not look forward anymore for a Messiah to come, for there should

not any come, save it should be a false Messiah which should deceive the
people; for there is save one Messiah spoken of by the prophets, and that

Messiah is he who should be rejected of the Jews" (2 Nephi 25:18).

At this point, I will take anything.  Deliriously grasping at straws, actually.....

So, a shout out to H. for sending this to me.  If this pans out, you made my day.  No, my year.  No, my life actually....  I really needed this.

If this guy starts popping off miracles and rallies the Jews to start the temple build this year, well then we have our guy.

A COVENANT WITH DEATH? ISAIAH 28

I do not pretend to know more than the ordained servants of the Lord - but I WILL say that Isaiah's words (for our day) trumps the words of our current Prophet, the words of Nephi and are only eclipsed by the words of the Savior.  When up against a wall and a decision must be made, this is my decision tree.

Folks, those who are clamoring with the statement that we need to follow the Prophet.  I say, you are right.  We need to follow the Prophet (even a dead one), just as Christ pointed us to follow the words of Isaiah.  Chapter 28 to be exact:

1 Woe to the crown of pride, to the ^adrunkards of ^bEphraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of ^cthe fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine!

2 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which as a ^atempest of hail and a destroying ^bstorm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.

3 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:

4 And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the ^ahasty fruit before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.

5 ¶ In ^athat day shall the Lord of hosts be for a crown of ^bglory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,

6 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.

7 ¶ But ^athey also have ^berred through ^cwine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the ^dprophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.

8 For all tables are full of vomit and ^afilthiness, so that there is no place clean.

 

15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing ^ascourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our ^brefuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:

16 ¶ Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a ^afoundation a ^bstone, a tried stone, a precious ^ccorner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.

17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

18 ¶ And ^ayour covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.

19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report. 

According to this, we are hooped people!  Do not fall for the lies of the New Word Odor.  President Nelson will not die a natural death.  I wonder if this is tied into that.  Verse 18 is key.  This is it!

Great are the words of Isaiah.

NETANYAHU HAS TURNED OUT TO BE A REAL YAHOO....

 As my dad used to call them lunkerheads and yahoos:

https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/has-israels-king-benjamin-netanyahu-been-dethroned-664243

My hope that he would stand his ground has faded as well.  Possibly this fall from grace is a result of persecuting the meek?  Maybe this, along with the results of Conference is what I was to expect (or at least be a harbinger of things to come) for the next 3.5 years.  I feel the die has been cast - and not in a favorable way.  

I cannot say how many times I have felt betrayed/sold out this past six months.  Almost unbearable.

I will say this; I will not comply with anything to do with this vaccination.  It IS insidious.  It is part of the plan to enslave the people of God.  Every truly Godly person I know is not getting it.

Here is some scripture that sums things up:

Hosea
Chapter 8

1Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.

2Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.

3Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.

4They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.

5Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?

6For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.

7For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.

8Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.

9For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.

10Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes.

11Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.

12I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.

13They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.

14For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
