AN INTENSE DREAM - THE BANKING CRISIS IS COMING IN THE NEXT WEEK?

 Wow - so I can have intense dreams like the one where I saw the nuke hit Ogden (has not happened yet).  The one I had the night my kid died of SIDS (completely fulfilled to the letter) and then there is this one.

I think it had to do with the financial collapse.  I keep getting flashes from my friends who are in the know with the financial world and they keep reporting that we are not at the bottom and that there has been intense financial carnage.  I get reports that there are no safe places to keep assets.  They are all being hogged out (including housing).  It is potentially way worse than the 2008 crash.  I have a colleague (whom I call my work wife) who just got a second raise this year.  She is a key player (several engineers just moved on and left her holding the bag so they gave her a second bag of cash worth another 7%).  Pretty nice - but also worrying in that I do not ever remember having two raise cycles in one year except after Sept 11th when there was chaos in the aerospace sector and those that were left after the "resource carnage" were handsomely compensated for assuming the doubled workload.

Anyway, I could probably count on one hand the number of "money" dreams I have had - let alone a quite intense money dream.  All I can say was that it was intense and could be an action sequence in a Hollywood blockbuster.  Here it is (interpretations are welcome in the comments).  My wife was kind enough to insist on transcribing it for me while I rattled it off in my groggy state:

So I had a  very intense and vivid dream that I was suddenly woken out of, and I was very disoriented when I came to.  I had gone to take a quick nap to finish my evening off with a fresh head and thought I had slept all night when I awoke.  My friend, Elkan and I, were dressed up in business attire and had just concluded some kind of a financial deal in a large skyscraper.  Elkan turned to me and said that he wanted to get some money.  So we hopped in the elevator and went up to the top floor where there was a bank or some place where you could make large cash withdrawals, up to six figures for the international banker types who dealt in large sums.  So we got to the top.  Elkan went to the cashier’s window, while I enjoyed the view in a large glass atrium that looked out over the city.  He made a withdrawal, walking away with two white envelopes of cash.  Each of the envelopes were about a half inch thick.  I estimated a few thousand dollars in each one of twenties and hundreds.  He discreetly handed me the two envelopes, and I slipped one into each pocket of my dress slacks, thinking it would be hard to lose them, because my slacks were tight fitting.  We then walked to the elevator together and got on.  It was an express; single shot to the bottom.  There was an elevator assistant operating it and asking which floor, and Elkan said, "Lobby."  As the elevator picked up speed, there was low light in the elevator, and it picked up speed as we descended.  The elevator attendant turned our attention to something at the back of the elevator.  As I turned my head to the back of the elevator, the attendant that the doors were opening, and as we passed several floors, with the doors open, the attendant jumped out, and in the next floor or two, someone else jumped in, and the doors shut.  It was highly coordinated and timed.  I got the idea that the air in the elevator had been altered, and we might have been drugged, because our response time was slow.  Before I could react, and tell Elkan about the situation we were in, the new person that had joined us in the elevator and he let me know that he had a gun, and that he knew we had cash.  Later on it was given to me to know that we either had $15,000 in each envelope, or $30,000 in each envelope, but at that point I was only thinking we would be out a few thousand (nothing worth risking a life over by being coy).  So thinking I had only two to three thousand in my pockets, I turned over the two enevelopes, and I knew we had been scammed.  I knew they knew that we had the envelopes.  I had no hand to play to save Elkan's money.  The guy that stole the money, either got off as the elevator was moving and jumped onto a floor, or he stopped the elevator and went to a certain floor.  We knew it was best not to go after him and risk taking a bullet.  We continued on until we got to the main lobby at the bottom.  I was made to know that Elkan had lost tens of thousands of dollars not just hundreds or thousands of dollars.  At the lobby, someone went to get on the elevator before we got off, and they had all of the financial records or receipts for the bank to close out the day.  We both got the idea, simultaneously, that if we had this bag, with all of their receipts and everything, we could figure out who was behind the scam.  So Elkan gave me the look, and grabbed the pile of bank envelopes (in a satchel) and ran, and I knew we needed to get out of there, until we could talk with somebody in authority, so we could figure out who stole Elkan's tens of thousands of dollars.  We had a difficult time running on the marble floors, as we raced around the elevator shaft, towards the front lobby.  We knew we had to get out of the building, before they could lock it down and keep us in and retrieve the banking records and receipts.  We needed to reach people outside of the building for help, because the whole building was a part of the scam and we knew we could probably trust no one in there.  

HANS ULRICH BRYNER - THE BLIND PIONEER WHO WALKED ACROSS THE PLAINS

 So, my wife and I are delving into our shared Swiss ancestry (and her father's Swiss missionary experience) as we talk about a future visit to Switzerland - now that we can finally travel again and the dollar is worth something against the international currencies.  We have both been finding amazing conversion stories among our Swiss ancestors that involve miraculous healing and also a non-healing story where this faithful ancestor of mine was given the gift of NOT having a miracle.  In this gift, he was allowed to see the future of going to Zion.  Yes, that Zion that included the "debauchery" of polygamy (1850's Utah).

He literally was shown in vision the missionary that would come to teach them and eventually lead them to Utah - wherein Hans, as a polygamist (he married a second woman in Utah who had been twice-widowed, and then proceeded to have 10 additional children with her) was able to live out a remarkable life and accomplish amazing things that had me weeping over his faithfulness.

So, for my post-1834 throw-it-all-under-the-bus, Brigham Young NoPolyMos friends who may be reading this rag, I would like to present exhibit X to the nth power....  Here is the problem.  When you throw Brigham under the bus, you throw Eliza R. Snow and even this Hans Ulrich Bryner ancestor of mine (that I had forgotten about until I was talking to my wife and I managed to remember his name that my Mother had taught me about over 40 years ago).  Which quick internet search led me to this:

Folks - how can this testimony be denied?!?

As I say, it takes some form of mental illness (even if it is just extreme or blind rage over this shit shot debacle) in order to chuck it all away.

My response and conclusion to it all?

Repent.  Shube. 

JESUS' DEATH ACCOMPANIED BY AN EARTHQUAKE - APRIL 3RD, 33AD

So, I have laid out the case in this blog that Jesus was killed on April 3rd, 33AD in the very timeline given in the Bible (for all those who naysay the authenticity of the scriptural record - read the facts and data and weep (and gnash, if you must)).  It is bullet-proof that that date falls on the exact date of Passover (via chabad.org) and that this can be corroborated by the lunar eclipse tracker over Jerusalem during the exact time that the Bible states that it happened (via nasa.gov and probably a whole schlew of other sites that process that kind of data).

Well I was watching something random this morning and this gal was going off on how the date of Jesus' death was April 3rd, 33AD based on EQ data.  Originally, when I had been led by the Spirit (through a series of questions that came into my mind as I was pondering on a question), I discounted that you could get within more than a decade or so of the time of an EQ without an extensive contemporary historical record.  We only have a few good records from that time period (other than the Bible) - and I do not recall reading exact dates of an earthquake in those records (Josephus, etc).  So, for me, the lunar eclipse option was spot on and what I needed to answer my question (how close to the age and day/time of Jesus dying to the timing of my son's death to SIDS).  There is a reason we named him "Jesus baby" after his passing.  So many uncanny weird "coincidences" related to the death of Jesus (and His birth, for that matter).  There truly are no such things as coincidences.  I really have come to that conclusion.

So, here are some links to this notion that an EQ date CAN be pinned down, based on some mainstream news articles (and not some hair-brained claim on a guy's blog):

A WITNESS OF THE RESURRECTION

 This is the only eye-witness account of this type of event that I am aware of and is shared by one of my friends from Mesa, whose story it is in her Johnson line:

Resurrection of a Nephite Girl

From a post on a newsgroup: [The following narrative is reproduced as I received it--except that I have corrected spelling and grammatical errors as indicated by brackets. It appears to be a transcript of a talk. Note that San Juan County is in eastern Utah. --DCA, 3/9/1998]

EXPERIENCES OF ZEKE JOHNSON, now 85 - 1954 

I have been requested to relate an experience I had in 1908 [or] 1909 in San Juan County. I was just making a home in Blanding and the whole county there was covered with trees and sagebrush. I was working hard to clear the ground to plant a few acres of corn. We had five acres cleared and [we] started to plant the corn. My little boy Roy, [seven] or [eight] years old[,] was there to help me plant the corn. I'd plow around the piece and then he'd plant the furrow with the corn. Then I'd cover it and plow again. While I was plowing on that piece of ground, I discovered there were ancient houses there, that is[,] the remnant[s] of them.

As I was plowing around I noticed that my plow had turned out the skeleton of a small child[--]the skull and the backbone[. M]ost of the the bones[,] of course[,] were decayed and gone. Part of the skeleton was there, so I stopped immediately as my plow had passed it a little. I turned and looked back against the bar of the plow between the handles. As I was looking at that little skeleton that I had plowed out[,] and wondering, all of a sudden to my surprise[,] I saw the bones begin to wiggle[. T]hey began to change position and to take on [a] different color[. W]ithin a minute there lay a beautiful little skeleton. It was a perfect little skeleton.

Then I saw the inner parts of the natural body coming in--the entrails, etc. I saw the flesh coming on and I saw the skin come on the body [after] the inner parts of the body [were] complete. A beautiful head of hair adorned the top of the head[. I]n about a half a minute after the hair was on the head, it had a beautiful crystal decoration in the hair. It was combed beautifully and parted on one side. In about a half a minute after the hair was on the head, the child raised up on her feet. She was lying a little on her left side with her back toward me. Because of this I wasn't able to discern the sex of the child, but as she raised up, a beautiful robe came down over her left shoulder and I saw it must be a girl.

She looked at me and I looked at her, and for a quarter of a minute we just looked at each other smiling. Then [in] my ambition to get a hold of her, I [said,] "oh, you beautiful child," and I reached out as if I would embrace her and she disappeared.

That was all I saw, and I stood there and I wondered and I thought for a few minutes. My little boy was wondering why I was there because he was down at the other end of the row[,] anxious to come and plant the corn. Now, I couldn't tell that story to anyone because it was so mysterious to me and such. Why should I have such a miraculous experience[?] I couldn't feature a human being in such a condition as to accidentally plow that little body out and see it come alive. A body of a child about five to seven years old, I'd say.

I couldn't tell that story to anyone until finally one day I met a dear friend of mine, Stake Patriarch Wayne H. Redd of Blanding. He stopped me on the street and [said], "Zeke, you have had an experience on this mesa you won't tell[.] I want you to tell it to me." Well, I told it to him. Then he had me tell it to other friends and since then I have told it in four temples in the United States and many meeting houses and many socials, fast meeting, and a conference times.

I wondered, and it worried me for years[,] as to why [...] was I, just a common [uneducated] man, allowed to see such a marvelous manifestation of God's power.

One day as I was walking alone with my hoe on my shoulder going to hoe some corn, something said, "Stop under the shade of that tree for a few minutes and rest." This just came to me and I thought I would, so I stopped there and [the following] was given to me.

It was in answer to my prayer. I prayed incessantly for an answer as to why I was privileged to see that resurrection. I was told why. When the child was buried there, it was either in time of war with the different tribes or it was winter time when the ground was frozen and they had no tools to dig deep graves. If it were during time of war they couldn't possibly take time to dig a deep grave. They just planted that little body as deep as they could under the circumstances. When it was done the sorrowing mother knew that it was such a shallow grave, that in her sorrow she cried out to the little group that was present, "That little shallow grave, the first beast that comes along will smell her body and will dig her up and scatter her to the four winds. Her bones will be scattered all over these flats.["] There just happened to be a man present holding the priesthood (a Nephite or a Jaredite, I don't know which because they had both been in this country. I've been in their houses and know it.) The man said, "Sister, calm your sorrows. Whenever that little body is disturbed or uncovered, the Lord will call her up and she will live. Since that time, I have taken great comfort, great cheer and consolation and satisfaction, with praise in my heart and soul, until I haven't the words to express it, that it was I that uncovered that little body.

Thank you for listening to me. I just can't tell this without crying.

TRUMP IS CORRECT ONCE AGAIN

 He nails it with his statement that "(if the snakes had not stolen the election from him and he were still in power) we would not be going to war over Taiwan nor in Ukraine".

He furthermore nailed down that the mess we are in is due to "stupid people" in DC that probably are not capable of finding themselves out of a paper bag, let alone a sticky world situation.  What complete and total POS....  In my humble opinion.  Could never have agreed more with the Don than with that statement.  Oh those tewwibbul meeeeaan tuweets!  Bad orange man speak da mean things.... waaaahhh!!

I would much rather have a few mean tweets and some respect on the world stage than a demented pedophile in office that has to be prompted when it's time to change his diaper so his rash does not get worse..... and whom no one respects so they just roll over decades of US superiority in various regions.  

Sheesh.

Oh well.  I am just preparing to get the hell out and let everyone mire in the mess they created.  You wanted Biden?  You can have him.  You wanted the green agenda?  You can have $6 per gallon gas in Californication.  You wanted a king in Canada?  You can have it.  It is all yours.  Not mine....

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11244579/Trump-says-Biden-DOJ-investigate-Letitia-James-appalling-malicious-abuse-power.html

Read it and weep.  Putin has been literally begging the USA to back off for our own good.  He does not want to have to do a reverse "Cuban Missile Crisis" on us.  But, it has all been prophesied.  Yet, when it happens just as written, will you still pig-headedly deny it?  Some people are just too stooopid for their own good....

A PROPHETIC DREAM

 This is from my mentor who shared it on my FB group on dreams:

Last night I had two dreams:

The first dream I saw the adversary’s forces unleash a war upon male priesthood holders unlike any before it.

The men would go in and attempt to cast the evil spirits out trying to protect others… 

(granted it was like urban warfare with the priesthood holders being like platoons bursting into homes and places to ferret out terrorists. That was the manner of the battle. The priesthood holders were kind of going in after them.)

…but instead of winning and casting out the evil spirits whom I saw were dressed for war…

 the evil spirits would rush through the priesthood holders with firey knives/swords slicing through their hearts and kill the men while on their feet. Almost as though the men had instant heart attacks. 

The men could not enter a place nor a home without dying instantly. A few survived but most were dying unable to stand against these fiery darts/swords/weapons.

I watched it in horror. When I tried to say anything, my mouth was closed and I couldn’t speak. I desired to help the men but instead was left to witness them fall one right after another. And somehow I knew that women… good women were being spared. The laws that governed the faith of women spared them in this battle and they were for the most part passed by.

But…These men were good priesthood holders whom believed that they lived all the laws, and they truly were good members in good standing… but I saw that they didn’t seek further light and knowledge except to attend church and live the Word of Wisdom and do their church callings and temple attendance. (Apparently there needed to be more for men that they needed… more armor of God type, more faith, more power in the priesthood where it needed to be sealed by the Holy Spirit of Promise upon them.)

So apparently the Men did well in “practicing” the priesthood but the priesthood had not been yet sealed upon them… they were not sanctified before the Lord. I don’t know. That’s all I was told and I had no ability to ask further because I just didn’t know the questions to ask.

But I knew in the dream that they were not the 144,000, nor were they especially “valiant” members of the church. But they were good people, in good standing, and had given blessings despite having less power in the priesthood than they had thought. Just good people.

Or rather…They were just members of the church whom were those that didn’t seek further light and truth yet believed that they had the priesthood enough to cast out devils. They did not have the spiritual strength that they believed or were told in church that they had. (This is not my words on this one. This was how they were described to me as in the dream when I asked. Because I was asking why in the world would good priesthood holders ever fall?)

Instead these men dropped dead in an instant being overcome by evil spirits. The gates of hell were truly opened. Women were spared. Then I woke.

Second dream… after I went back to bed trying to ponder The first dream which occupied my mind so severely that in the second dream I was in a hospital/medical setting.

  Working as a doctor among other doctors (I am a physician), I was handling charts and typical clinic duties, but my mind was still pondering the previous dream… because that dream troubled me a lot. Such that I wasn’t paying attention to my work… all I could think about was good male priesthood holders failing and dying against evil spirits. (Sorry for the repetition but that’s what it was like for me… I just couldn’t get it out of my head.)

I turned to another doctor, a woman and chose to tell her the dream or rather a different dream from

2019 that i had had which I was given to know was related to the above dream, which was testifying of what was to occur:

  I told her that I bore witness in the 2019 dream that there was to be a small plague, one which everyone would believe was a large/big/world shattering plague.

But instead that plague was mild in comparison to what was to come…

 then shortly thereafter in the 2019 dream, I relayed to the other doctor in this dream, there came upon the world an even bigger plague nothing like it before… one that was so devastating that men would die upon their feet suffering. We knew in this dream that the first plague (from the 2019 dream) had been the Covid, which in its scale was minor in comparison to the second plague that the dreams were saying was going to come.

   And I saw the male doctors dying in that plague, which I told the small group of doctors that had by this time surrounded me. I told them that the men would die in this plague quicker and in more numbers than the women.

    And an Isaiah scripture clearly came to mind from the Spirit while in the dream.

  The woman doctor believed me despite herself, but the man doctors that stood beside her mocked me and scoffed. The men would not believe but a few of the women did and they were filled with horror and awe. Then I woke.

This was the Isaiah reference (Isaiah 3) in Nephi:

2 Nephi 13:

For behold, the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem, and from Judah, the stay and the staff, the whole staff of bread, and the whole stay of water—

2 The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient;

3 The captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the counselor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.

4 And I will give children unto them to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.

5 And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor; the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honorable.

6 When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, and shall say: Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let not this ruin come under thy hand—

7 In that day shall he swear, saying: I will not be a healer; for in my house there is neither bread nor clothing; make me not a ruler of the people.

8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen, because their tongues and their doings have been against the Lord, to provoke the eyes of his glory….

(Basically the whole chapter, but that’s scriptural reference I was given in the dream.)

(No references to time were made in the dreams not even a reference to a season. And I have given no interpretation of these dreams except the information given to me while in the dreams.)

ANOTHER SHOT AT BRIGHAM YOUNG

 I have a really nice fellow on FB who is a big believer in the Gifts of the Spirit.  He is really outspoken on things like the Gift of Tongues, etc and also on the Baptism of Fire.  Stuff that simply is not talked about today because the Saints (or Later Day Aints, as I call many So Mos - or Social Mormons), not to be confused with the:

• ProgMos = Progressive Mormons with pink hair and rainbow flags hanging off the front of their house who just want the Prophet to bend a little on the whole two guys/gals kneeling at an altar vibe.  They might be caught protesting at BYU a few days after signing their pledge to live the Honor Code or receiving their full professorship in the English or Women's Studies Depts.  Sheesh.
• ExMos = Ex Mormons (self explanatory; those who spend inordinate amounts of time on the disaffected ex-mo sites trashing on the lost who still cling to their purple koolaid decanters)
• Pharimons = Pharisee Mormons those who talk the talk but do not walk the walk of their declared religious values.  
• SoMos = Social Mormons who are simply there because everyone is doing it and why be left out of a party when it is free, short of paying into the Ward Budget?   And who can have a better time alcohol-free than a gymnasium full of Mormons???
• HoMos = Honey-do Mormons who just see an unlimited supply of men who can fix things in the hope that you will finally decide to visit on a Sunday and return to full activity.

Haha.  I love that list and would like to see it grow until we have all the "ites" nicely classified.  Please add in the comments.  We need to flesh this whole thing out.

Anyway, my FB friend brought up this and this was my reply to him:

This is a bunch of crap attempting to discredit Brigham Young and those who lived the higher laws. Likely from the charlatans at DoC. Let me ask you this, Larry. If these practices were wicked and so out of line. Why did one of the greatest advocates for women's rights, Eliza R. Snow, not stand up to it - and instead was married for time to Brigham Young as a former wife of Joseph Smith? Why did those who practiced it have an incredible increase in the gifts of the Spirit, as well as visits from the Three Nephites (including among my own ancestors)? Why after 1890-1910 did many of those manifestations begin to disappear until today there is a dearth of them? Why, when I read of the great men of faith in this dispensation (who have a fulness of Priesthood), are most, if not all of them were practicing plural marriage? I read the entire 500+ page biography of Edward J Wood who was the first Cardston Alberta Temple President for 35 years and had amazing gifts of prophecy and also healing who seemed to exhibit a fulness of his Priesthood. I could not resolve that with his apparent lack of plurality of wives. As time went on, sure enough, I found out (through Wikipedia, of all places) that he did marry his wife's widowed sister and would faithfully go to Conference every single one except two during a 100 year blizzard and once during the 1918 flu pandemic. He fathered and supported several children in that Levirite-style polygamous marriage that occurred after the Second Manifesto, possibly at the behest of later excommunicated Apostle John Taylor II, who was a huge advocate and would not heed the call to put the practice behind him.

BECAUSE OF PHARMAKEIA WERE ALL NATIONS DECEIVED

 Folks, this is disturbing; the number of SADS and other sudden onsets of disease after taking the jab.

It is only 8 mins, but shocking to see the coercion put out by the jabbies:

MOTHER MARY SHIPTON AND HER PROPHECIES

 So glad she got some air time.  She had a remarkable gift and I cannot find anything in her writings that clash with modern or ancient prophecy:

FLINGING THE POO AND DEEP FAKES

 Yep, soon enough, you will have video evidence that I said and did things I did not say.  Right now, all you can hack is my written word, my profile, etc.  It is relatively easy for a semi-competent hacker to change someone's words.  Child's play for now.  The level of deception is just getting more and more sophisticated.

I cannot help but think of President Nelson's words that we soon will not be able to navigate the world without the deep and abiding presence of the Holy Ghost.  People will not be able to tell truth from fiction.  If someone, as my daughter did, will fall for something as benign as an obvious fake quote from Joseph Smith, how will the rest of us know what to believe.  What if there is an image showing what appears President Nelson at a press conference telling all faithful Saints to take the mark of the beast.  Will we blindly obey?  I feel like we have just been through a trial run of what is coming.

Here is something to illustrate that point:

We are going to be dealing with this and open daylight illusions that are computer generated mirages.  So good that no human can discern without divine help.  

God help us all....

NOLAN OLSEN - HISTORY OF LOGAN TEMPLE

Folks, I have been in a perpetual firefight with the ridiculous attitudes at DoC and the other anti's out there; in that they believe that Brigham was a piece of work, a racist, a murderer (of Joseph and Hyrum) and so much other tripe.  Oh how some people can fling the baseless poo!!  Likely, they are covering their own sins and chicanery.

Why do I care?  Because I do not want to see more of my loved ones hurt by ridiculous tripe.  Last night in a phone call, I finally got to defend the Church's position on the tripe my oldest daughter got into that led her off the Covenant path.  After 10 years, my daughter was actually in a position to hear a defense from me.  Wow.  She had a ton of water under that bridge in the meantime.  It has been painful to watch this whole time.  But some people have to learn the hard way.  In fact, most do including myself, at times.  The key is to limit that kind of learning and maximize inspired learning (following the warnings and promptings of the Holy Spirit).

My wife almost did the faceplant when that BYU "professor" (more like slanderer) went off about Joseph's "philandering" and all the children "he fathered with other men's wives".  Citing all "reputable" sources at the time in this professor's book, only to find out that ZERO of it was based on fact.  All the children were from the men the women were married to for time, while Joseph was sealed to them for eternity.  So far as we know, there were no side sexual liaisons.  Unless Joseph had access to some really good prophilactics (that he did not have with Emma - who seemed to get pregnant just by Joseph looking at her), nothing went down as these useless accusers assert.

Here is the problem - or part of the problem.  People are under the same spirit that the great deceiver was as he works in that role of  "accuser" that was from the beginning.  This is how he has been defined in scripture.  In studying his understudies on this earth, I would definitely support that title for him and his embodied minions.  While at the same time, I would probably never arrive at that conclusion for the Son of God.  Simply not His style.

So here is the rub; people will simply use any excuse to walk away because of sin in their lives.  Polygamy or blacks in the Priesthood are two really convenient hotpoints for those who want to leave - but who are not quite ready to throw the Book of Mormon under the bus (though their demon-incarnate masters) will eventually take them down that path with the final stop of that train being destination Throw the Savior Under the Bus; a heat-filled paradise with many other types with distorted visages.

So yeah, there is much hatred out there for the principle/doctrine of plural marriage.  One of it's purposes is to divide the sheep from the goats, so to speak.  Jesus himself said he came not to bring people together, but to divide houses against themselves.  The doctrines He teaches simply are not easy and for the spiritually lazy to comprehend, nor live.  I am always drawn to the testimonies in journals and temple histories of those who DID live the principles of the Gospel fully.  And they developed faith and spiritual stamina by doing hard things.  Many of those amazing people did live polygamy - and along with the toughness of that, received witnesses that we simply do not receive (in large part) these days.

This is one of my favorite story tapes that my wife and I came across probably two decades ago: 

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-U9bbox5t4

Enjoy!!  And ponder on those who lived during and after the "murderous" Brigham and John Taylor did and see if their works do not speak volumes.  See how you measure up against them.  I know I do not hold a candle to them, which either makes me worse than a murderous posse or it exonerates them and furthermore condemns those who condemn them.

JOSEPH ON THE DAVIDIC SERVANT

 I had forgotten this:

Joseph Smith – “Although David was a king he never did obtain the spirit and power of Elijah and the fulness of the Priesthood; and the priesthood that he received, and the throne and kingdom of David is to be taken from him and given to another by the name of David in the last days raised up out of his lineage.” (HC 6:253)

Very applicable.

A CONVERSION OF BROTHER BENJAMIN BROWN

Interesting account of angelic ministrants:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FS8UCj40uZ0

Have you sought out these kinds of events?  Do you have the faith that you can?  Do you have a good standing before the Lord?

The Three Nephites event is found at 17 minute mark.

And for those who have trashed their membership in the Church - it is clear that if we trash our testimony of the truth, we will not have a second chance.  This is NO game that has no consequences.

GOD WILL ONLY PROVIDE THE MIRACLE AFTER YOU HAVE DONE EVERYTHING YOU CAN DO

Folks, if you really want to turn me off to you, just tell me that, when times get tough, you will just show up on my doorstep.  This is a response of Mrs. Wood Zone on a discussion that food storage etc is optional because "God will provide the miracle"...  Seriously, just plain wicked stuff.

I asked a gal who recently withdrew her membership from the Church if she had any food storage.  Zip, zilch, nada.  I am seeing a pattern here.  Slothful in spiritual things; slothful in temporal things.  What is it with the entitlement mentality?   This same person also believes that authority for baptism is optional and many things are just "optional".  I withdrew very disgusted with this attitude or thought pattern.  This person's countenance has fallen dramatically - and they are probably not even aware of it.  It is either due to seduction from an evil influence, mental illness, or one being brought on by the other.  So sad to witness.  It is a freaking train wreck - and I am concerned that others that I love dearly will buy into the mindless seduction and the lies.  Serious LACK. OF. LOGIC.   Its like I said to my oldest daughter in the garden a decade ago:  Have you really thought this through?  And she was being influenced by a person of authority at the time; her grandmother; who will pay for the sins of having influenced a somewhat innocent one.  I will see to it in the eternities.

See, here is the problem.  People think that it is just some kind of game and you just flit about life with little or no consequence, either spiritually or temporally.  Well, if that is the attitude folks, you have another thing coming.  There is a final accounting and it will be quite EXACT - and unless all is turned over completely to the One who can pay the debt to the last farthing, and complete and total repentance is sought and obtained, then the individual offender must pay for the sins of those they led astray.  To just throw away a membership in God's kingdom is folly and insanely stupid in my opinion.  People that believe there will just be a few stripes are delusional.  God is exact at everything.  That is how you get to that status.  Slackers need not apply....  It comes with the job title....

So yeah, it is repent and rely on the blood of the Atonement, or move on (to hell).   There is no other path.  Repentance is the way.  Repenting of bad attitudes is also the way, as my wife points out below.  It may well be that attitudes about tithing and food storage etc are a representation of future performance/membership in the Kingdom of God:

We had a neighbor. She was the young women’s president and I an advisor. She was very fun to talk with and we traded babysitting and  ideas and

 

philosophies. One day we got on the subject of being prepared and she flippantly said, “No, we are not. (And she listed a couple of reasons—none financial.) If I just got in a situation, I would just come to you.”  

I loved her kids and I loved her and her husband. But I struggled at that moment with sin. For although I loved her, I lost immediate respect for her.

And I didn’t like her attitude or potential future behavior. The “ not my problem” mentality— not for health reasons. Not for economic reasons. 

Her reasons were just priorities.  Just not feeling like it, wanting to gamble the perfect house, (cluttering the garage or the house, favorite foods don’t store, the perfect frequent vacations (family vacations

 

are important—don’t get me wrong). 

We have to balance everything. It was just her flippancy. Her entitlement. Her arrogance. 

Now with a miracle, she may not have made provisions dwindle by 50%.  And in a emergency situation, she may have been more humble about this topic. But I thought it was so careless on her part that

 

she was willing—aware and willing—to gamble my children’s potential future well-being for her present state of unconcerned bliss. 

Yet, as I struggled with my natural woman feelings right then and many days later, realizing that she represented more people (the grasshoppers) than there were (ants) to take care of the grasshoppers.

 

And this is where the miracle is again. 

A bunch of us (including her) in this well-knit ward moved away and a huge handful of us were influenced by one great other friend that I have also stemming from this one ward. So this neighbor friend of mine,

 

(and a handful of friends from that ward at the time) have now let go of the teachings of Jesus Christ—all to differing degrees. 

But is it Nehor-like, to tell people there will absolutely be a miracle if they are doing their best or they cannot do much for reasons? 

Is it Nehor-like to tell people there will be a miracle no matter what and so out of convenience they rely on that notion only?

Is the miracle also not in us sharing how important it is to our family and friends to accept responsibility now?  To encourage and motivate (without fear tactics) but with pragmatic and practical pleas? 

The miracle could be what transforms one person’s place into a city of light and another’s not, is we encourage the wisdom of potential helping as much as preparing. We encourage people to be self-sufficient

 

as much as we encourage the miracle as well. 

It’s like encouraging repentance/baptism and grace. 

So who shut the ark’s door for Noah?  Wasn’t Noah; it was the Lord. 

My prayer is that since I cannot imagine turning someone away,  it will be the Lord who shuts the ark if there is a shutting to be done since it would be hard for me to. 

Remember, the Lord saved EVERYONE that repented from the worldwide flood. EVERYONE THAT REPENTED. THAT IS A MIRACLE. 

If they repented before the flood, they were taken up to join the City of Enoch or maybe other city or cities (if there were more than the city of Salem.). These were all saved one by one or family by family. 

The eight whose responsibility was to remain on earth who repented, were saved in a boat. THAT WAS A MIRACLE. 

Did God turn away those who did not repent?  Did some get left on earth because no matter what the earth was going to get baptized?

Could all on earth have been saved?  Yes, because the earth was going to get baptized (flooded) no matter what. 

That is one time when I can say the Lord did turn others away—away from the City of Enoch and away from the ark. Not because He wanted to; because that is what THEY wanted. They were warned. They didn’t

 

care. They didn’t believe the way that they could be saved. They didn’t think it was necessary to repent, so they could be taken up to the City of Enoch. 

After the flood those that became naughty again, at least knew they needed to reach the City of Enoch, so they figured a way they could get there without repenting—the Tower of Babel, they were building. 

So my point is the miracle stories are good for those of us who are stingy who haven’t thought through that we need to be willing to go without so others can live. 

But we also need to be actively and prayerfully preparing others to be prudent and why to be prudent, so that our cities can be potential cities of light. 

It is the Lord who shut the door to the ark. If the Lord can do that, he can do other things as you read in Isaiah.

WHO IS THE ANTI-CHRIST?

 I have asked myself this many times through the years, knowing that at some point, he would have to reveal himself.  One of my top picks would be a direct descendant of Christ and likely an heir to the throne and likely a High Priest by default.  It could be one literally such as a President of the Church - but I highly doubt that.  I do not think we have one in a member of the Sanhedrin that has reconvened in Jerusalem in 2017; 70 years from the year that Israel was made a nation.  I do not feel that a solid lineage was made down through the centuries since the Jews were expelled in 70AD.  They simply lost track of everything.  They have tried to do it according to the book - but have had to make a lot of stuff up/re-create to their best what was lost.  

In a true restoration, it pretty much has to come from heaven.  For example, in the case of John the Baptist, he had the lineage of the lesser Priesthood - but there was likely a heavenly bestowal from the last (then dead) holder of that authority, so that he was in a position to baptize the Lamb of God.  It is as much legal as anything - which is why the DoC posers piss me off so badly.  They throw it all out and make the whole "authority" thing a construct of the oppressors and control freaks....  That attitude and mindset really pisses me off....  Because, if the "authority decrier" still has a belief in Joseph Smith, then they will remember (having conveniently forgotten) that Joseph and Oliver Cowdery inquired about baptism and immediately got a visit from the historical person who was last solidly given it; JtB.

So, with implied authority as a direct descendent of Christ, the front runners are Prince William (son of Charles and Lady Diana) who is incredibly charismatic and married to a woman who rivals Lady Die in popularity (whom a majority of the world could get behind as an A/C figure) and then there is Barack Obama who has the descendant of Cain thing going on and who is also a descendant of Dunham (also tied into English bloodlines that go back to Christ).  That POS has been working behind the scenes to undermine Trump and keep America a marxist utopia with his Saul Alinsky mindset as he feeds puppet Biden the crap he has been cranking out.  So he is a very high pick in my mind.  I despise what he had done against Liberty with all of my soul.  BHO has a symbolic name that is weird, but Prince William has an interesting tie into royal symbols with his coat of arms.

Another lesser runner-up is son of Fidel Castro, Justine Trudeau.  Not sure what his ties are, other than into marxist royalty via old Infidel Castro.  But yeah, he is a two-bit POS dictator who got some of the more peaceful people of the world pissed off enough to rush the capitol of Canada in seriously frigid temperatures....  One thing is for sure, the a/c will support and be at the forefront of the one world agenda.  Justine fits that bill....

Anyway, the whole thing about the Nostradamus "prophecy" and the queen dying in 2022 on the 70th year of her reign and then the thing going to her son Charles and then quickly reverting to the grandson (William), really has me perked up.  Here is another interesting thing I found on the Drudge Report that appears to be an article trying to build consensus around this concept of abdication due to age:

We will see.  Time is the greatest ally.

IF YOU WANTED TO DESTROY AN ORGANIZATION

 I am going to supposition away here for a moment and just keep running down this bunny trail, so bear with me:

Let's say you were a satanic organization (at least at the top) controlled by the rebel in chief himself.  Let me call it the CIA, just to make it less abstract.  And your goal was to gain and control as much power, money and influence as you could in as short a time as is humanly possible.

What would you do?

If it were me, I would find the most juxtaposed organizations to my cause; those whose values are based on a thing greater than themselves, such as God and charity and compassion for other human beings.  Anchored in values such as moral agency, liberty and individual thought and self-determination.  I would set it as my cause to splinter that group in any way possible.  Divide and conquer.  Then turn the splintered remains against each other to feed off each other's sense of morality until they have expunged each other.  I have witnessed this in the CIA psy-ops as they have sought to bring down governments and organizations throughout the world.   This has worked handsomely throughout time.  From the time the devil went abroad on the land in the beginning up until now with more cohesive tools and coordinated agencies (read, the UN, the CIA/FBI, most political parties).  It is called controlled opposition.  They failed at their tactics for the first time with the Trump revolution - and this is why they are enraged against those who supported him as well as his machine.  He did not read the script they had for him (if they had one for him).  He was their loose cannon - and they are still exacting revenge on him and those who supported him.

What about taking down the Church?  They have largely neutralized the Catholics and many other Protestant sects in the nation today.  But what about our organization?

I believe they would use the same tactics.  I believe that the same tactics ARE being used.  The Church provides a monolithic form of opposition not only to the political powers in the USA (Repubs and Demos), but to the master of them, satan himself.  It is the grand daddy of all controlled-opposition schemes and we are being splintered by it.  Splinters of "love your fellow man including LQBTQ+" which will tug at the "compassionate" heart strings of those inclined to a leftist leaning.  There is the body autonomy crowd (which I am a part of), which can be leveraged/splintered away because of softness in policy towards corrupt Big Pharma policies and practices.  They will play off of the sense of angency of many - and those who fear what man can do to them.

I have some interesting intel that my wife is passing along to me that there is a VERY sophisticated and well-funded group at BYU whose goal and intent is to draw away the vulnerable into the rainbow crowd.  My daughter roomed with one who was vulnerable and fit this profile.  When I get it from my wife, we will share it.  It is from Midnight Mormons - a hilarious and hard-hitting podcast that delves into really controversial topics.  My wife is in stitches listening to them while the housework, etc languishes....  Oh well.

What I believe is happening after infiltrating and observing tactics of several groups, is that they are well funded and pervasive - and quite frankly, effective at what they are doing.

I will go more into this later, but I wanted to get this down in writing to get a seed started.

NEVER FORGET - THE LIES AND INCONSISTECIES

 Things to ponder on including my own testimony that the engine cores on the street level in NYC were Rolls Royce and not the GE engines that the claimed planes hitting the towers were engined with:

#neverforget 9/11

Never forget that our government intelligence agencies and the intelligence agencies from several  other countries carried out this atrocity. 

Never forget that the buildings crumbled to dust from a planned demolition. 

Never forget that members of the Bush family were over the security to the towers and allowed “art students” to come in at night and put up explosives on the 96th floor where the plane entered for several months before 9/11. 

Never forget that multiple eyewitnesses on the ground reported to local news in NYC - the morning it happened- that it was a gray military plane with no windows or insignias- not a commercial flight for the 2nd tower. 

Never forget that long 20 minute  phone calls couldn’t be made from those planes - that could go uninterrupted - in 2001 from high elevations. 

Never forget that one of the flight attendants - in her call- referred to “people upstairs” in a plane that had no upstairs. 

Never forget that every single one of the pilots involved was switched out the night before. 

Never forget that the original manifest of the flights had not one single Iraqi or “middle eastern” person on board. 

Never forget that at the end of Cee Cee Lyons phone call ( flight attendant) that a female whispered “you did great” at the end before hanging up. 

Never forget when everything turned to dust - full passports of the perpetrators fell to the ground unscathed so we would know “who did it”. 

Never forget that the perpetrators were found to be alive in Saudi Arabia. 

Never forget building 7 that fell later that day for no apparent reason other than a demolition and an insurance payout. 

Never forget that the gold under building 7 that was stored was suddenly moved out right before. 

Never forget that the flight attendants and pilots broke every protocol in the book that they were trained to do.  Calling a customer service line for help  is one of them. 

Never forget that Cheney, Bush, Biden, Kagan, Kristol, Wolfowitz and so many others wrote the PNAC project and published it a year before calling for a new Pearl Harbor like event to happen in America so that we could have the excuse to invade several  countries overseas. 

Never forget that we invaded several  countries on the premise of things that were never found. 

Never forget that Osama was a CIA asset and was blamed within one hour of the event taking place- fastest investigation in history to know who did it. 

Never forget that the evidence to the missing 2.3 Trillion that Rumsfeld announced the day before the event was magically moved - computers containing evidence of that missing money- was moved to the path of the incoming plane at the pentagon the night before so it was destroyed. 

Never forget that 83 cameras at the Pentagon that could have captured the footage were put under lock

And key forever and you were only shown one camera with grainy footage and no plane parts only a hole in the building. 

Never forget the Air Force was sent an hour and half away on a drill during the event, that just happened to be a drill of the event.  Just to confuse them more on what was actually happening and out them so far away that their planes could not get up in the air quick and next to the hijacked planes. 

Never forget that Inexperienced pilots could not have flown into the Pentagon at that angle- in fact experienced pilots could not have done that. 

Never forget that the passenger in 9B talked about by the flight attendant killed by a “ plastic box cutter” was a trained Mossad Assassin. 

Never forget that the Patriot Act, the TSA pat downs, the Departmentof Homeland and the joining of the FBI and CIA, billions in defense contracts, the NSA on steroids, the boogeyman threats to loss of liberty were planned well before the event as the solution. 

Never forget that in 1962, the government presented a plan to Kennedy to kill innocent civilians in planes to get us into war with with Cuba and blame it on Cuba in Project Northwoods ( which you can view online). 

Never forget that it is the families of the victims who continually ask for investigations  to get the truth behind the event to get justice for their loved ones. They know they weren’t told the truth. 

Never forget they used your emotions and anger to go to war in a country that did not attack us. And that many of our military died in that. 

Never forget many who who were killed off and died trying to bring the truth out.  

Never forget that not only is our government capable of doing this, many were involved profited from it. 

Never forget that over 60% of our country does not believe the official narrative.

JOSEPH SMITH’S BLIND BARTENDER PROPHECY

 Okay, the coolness factor here is quite high.  There is a great backstory on Hyrum’s personal Book of Mormon.

It is a short listen, but fascinating stuff!

https://youtu.be/P_inzrV0YfQ

I love a good solid cursing of those that simply are too spiritually dense to get a clue.

Better to live blind in the flesh and have time to figure it out, than to fester in hell for the rest of eternity in abject ignorance….
