BEST COMMENT EVER!!

 Folks, this is absolutely the best roast comment ever, probably coming from someone in the Ogden area?!?

“I have irrefutable proof it will happen.“ And what would that be? You had a dream? That’s not proof of anything. If I was in the market for a Ford F150 I guarantee you I would see more of them on the road. Not because there are more of them, but because I am thinking about them, I notice them. Because you are obsessed with your “special visionary powers” and are constantly thinking end of times scenarios it only makes sense you have dreams of these types of events. I can fly in some of my dreams, I can’t wait till I can. It’s just a matter of time, right? You want so bad to be important. You’re probably borderline excommunicatable.

I actually got another comment asking what was irrefutable about my proof.  There should be a search box in the upper left corner.  Go ahead and plug in "chicken dream" and you will find out why I feel so good about making that call, not to mention the Spencer reference and inputs from the guy who was called by President Kimball as the "Church Healer" who served 7 missions and who had a fulness of the Priesthood who saw it.  And my wife, just re-read the Sarah Menet vision with similar references.

Probably a little more than a joy ride in an F-150....

Anyway, yeah - my advice is that you move away from Ogden before you cut off circulation to your testes due to a condition known as underwearis bunchyuppitis and you end up singing with the sopranos instead of with the base group.

But I do give you high points for a great comment.  Keep them coming!  The entertainment value is quite high.

TITHING AND THE CHURCH

 So, I am part of a group where there is a gal who absolutely hates BY (likely for his actions regarding polygamy).  The same gal has left the Church obviously - and seems to be able to say nothing good about it, including the Temple and tithing.  She specifically calls tithing a "pay for play" ploy; in other words, the Temple is a scam to get people to pay for the privilege of being sealed to their spouses, etc.

Of course, I see it completely differently.  Many of these folks have no clue about the origins of tithing other than it is found in D&C 64 and 119, etc:

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/manual/doctrine-and-covenants-student-manual/section-119-the-law-of-tithing?lang=eng

Truly, there is more to it, as my wife has pointed out:

Isaiah 6:13 refers not to a regular tithe, but a tithe of the tithe. If you are a Jew and know your Hebrew or know your Hebrew, you realize that this is not just a tithe, but a tithe of the tithe that the original Hebrew translation is using, so thus this meaning: 13 And while yet a tenth of the people

remain in it, or return,

they shall be burned.

But like the terebinth or the oak

when it is felled, whose stump remains alive,

so shall the holy offspring be what is left standing.

Although people may flee the cities en mass in Jehovah’s Day of Judgment, they find scant refuge in the countryside (Isaiah 5:30; 8:22). Using the imagery of tithing—in which the Israelites pay a tenth of the land’s yield to the Levites and the Levites pay a tenth of that tenth to the priests (Numbers 18:24-28)—Isaiah contrasts the many who perish with the few who survive. The “holy offspring” left standing—a tenth of the tenth—compares to a terebinth or oak that can renew itself when cut down. The one who fells the tree/s is the king of Assyria/Babylon, Jehovah’s axe and saw (Isaiah 10:15; 37:24).

Here is an exaplanation showing the example of the tithing (to the Levites) and the tithe of the tithe" (toHere is an exaplanation showing the example of the tithing (to the Levites) and the tithe of the tithe" (to the Priests, Kohen): "Terumat hamaaser was given by the Levite to the Kohen, and was one-tenth of what the Levite had received of the first-tithe. It is alluded to in the Hebrew Bible under the words, "a tithe (tenth) of the tithe" (Numbers 18:26). It, too, was considered terumah, and was eaten by priests in a state of ritual cleanness." the Priests, Kohen): "Terumat hamaaser was given by the Levite to the Kohen, and was one-tenth of what the Levite had received of the first-tithe.

It, too, was considered terumah, and was eaten by priests in a state of ritual cleanness." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tithes_in_Judaism#:~:text=Terumat%20hamaaser%20was%20given%20by,a%20state%20of%20ritual%20cleanness

ANOTHER NUKE DREAM

 This one was not special, other than to show what is coming to either us or the Ukraine.  Time is limited, I believe.  I keep seeing US/NATO equipment in US propaganda releases.  I shared the following with a VAERS group I started at the beginning of this year to document all of the sudden or unexplained deaths we are seeing:

Joseph Smith taught that “Enoch (contemporary with Noah) came before the water.  I come before the fire.”, fulfilling the pattern of water (baptism)/blood (Atonement)/Spirit (fire) that were all present in our births, the life of Jesus, the cross experience and even the earth’s existence as she passes through her existence.

I just woke from a nuke dream which was just a precursor of the actual fire event the earth will pass through.  It was staged in Bellingham on the farm I grew up on.  Smallish tactical nukes had hit the strategic targets close by of the refineries etc and we took a direct hit because the government had sited the equivalent of an Ajax missile on our place.

The only reason we had survived the direct hit was that it was an air burst over the silo and the downward pressure went all around us, leaving us relatively unscathed other than burns etc.

The takeaway from this anxiety dream is that Russia does eventually strike with many smaller and larger nukes to take down their nemesis (us) as we do the reverse of the Cuban Missile Crisis to them in the Ukraine.

I have seen the nuking of HAFB in vision.  I have irrefutable proof it will happen.  Just no idea when.  Place/event/time; the three elements of prophecy.

It is as important to prepare spiritually as it is to prepare physically.

BISHOP KOYLE'S MEGADROUGHT COMING ABOUT?

A comment from a reader on the mud rain/dust storm in Minnesota:

You might also like this if Bishop Koyle is to be believed: https://www.politico.com/newsletters/power-switch/2022/10/24/united-states-of-megadrought-00063120 Drought map of the United States with the drought expanding eastwards; keep in mind that most of the Mississippi River's major tributaries come in from the west, with only the Ohio River and Illinois Rivers coming in from the east (the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers meet the Ohio River shortly before that river hits the Mississippi.

I love Bishop Koyle.  The guy had a lovely gift.  World war, plague, financial collapse coming nicely together in a perfect apocalyptic symphony which he described nicely (along with scriptural accounts).  Most of which could largely be avoided if people would just repent (me included).  I have a long way to go to have my heart in the right place.  It is a process.  Mostly, it is just getting our arses kicked hard enough to have our hearts softened enough to bend the knee and confess our nothingness before the Lord.  And that we depend on Him and Him alone.  No man or woman above Him.

He is the only one who can bring us to the presence of our Father (and Heavenly Mother).

I long for the day when I can be trusted enough to be shown her and one of the greatest motivations that keeps me long way away from using God's name in vain.  If we cannot hold His name holy, how can we be trusted to know Her and keep Hers in reverence?!?  I know she will be exquisite beyond anything I can imagine.  Grace, beauty and truth.  Purity.  All encompassing.

How I have treated my wife will be part of that equation.  How I have guarded chastity figures in.  How I have honored my own mother is definitely a factor.  All of these things shows my character and my commitment to the Feminine ideal.

I took it very personal when individuals have mis-treated my wife and I grieve when I have not lived up to the standard in every way.  I have tried to instill that in those around me, always stating that the woman goes into the very throes of death to bring life; therefore, she will be honored every bit as much as a patriarch who has given of himself in defending the home and wives and children from any evil.  One is a duty (often not willingly ventured into, but called out of duty - no man says at the inception of life that he will go to war or put his life on the line as a matter of course) and the other is a hard thing that is given as a gift to the husband and to the children (obviously) who are then given the breath with which they will honor that willing sacrifice with.

Holy smokes - this sounds like a Mother's Day tribute.  But yeah, I do look forward to meeting the woman that Father chose to sit with Him on a perfected throne and to create worlds without end.  It will be the apex of the post-mortal experience to commune with Her once again. 

EFFECTS OF DROUGHT IN THE MID-WEST? RAINING MUD IN MINNE

THE REWRITING OF HISTORY BY THE MENTALLY ILL

 So I have an acquaintance (will not call him a friend) I used to work with, who was from Jordan.

His hatred for the Jews was so great that he denied they had ever been in Israel.  He was openly anti-Semitic.  A few years later, he and myself and my dear Jewish friend and Rabbi, Elkan Reuben all ended up on the 747 production line as MRB engineers.  It was truly a motley crew of religious misfits.

My Muslim acquaintance had to bow and scrape when I convinced my Jewish friend to go to bat for the Jordanian and help save his job because I later discovered he could not read technical English.  He was going to be fired for incompetence on the job.  He was averaging a repair every two days and my record was 26 in one day with an average of around 14 a day.  Elkan’s throughput was 12 a day.  The stress of his precarious situation had left him depleted of B-12 and I insisted he get B-12 injections so he could function normally as we coached him to try to help him become employable.

He eventually screamed at a veteran female employee and got fired for harassment when she refused to take the abuse and disrespect.  He was a contract employee, so they just walked him out the door that day.  I was sad for him.  He was a product of his twisted upbringing (not judging him against my Western standards...).

He was mentally ill - and he maintained an extreme position insisting that history is not as it really was.

The other night I had an fellow Cardstonite approach me in front of my home.  He proceeded to tell me that he knows the correct historical narrative of the church and that there is no authority required and that the endowment etc is bunk.  Anything since Joseph Smith.

Again, I identified someone who is mentally ill who bought into the historical revisionism of the DoC. Utter tripe.

The reason I bring these two incidents up is because they tie into this story of revealing actual history of the Bible and Josephus that the DoC (like my Jordanian acquaintance) deny.

Folks, this vid provides irrefutable proof things happened as they said they did in the Biblical narrative:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NULJCEC8IB4

So, for those who attempt to decry a flat earth, lack of authority in this Latter-Day dispensation.  I am sorry for you.  And please seek help - just as I encouraged the Jordanian co-worker to get help.

For those who decry the Biblical narrative as pure fiction - shove it.  Facts and data, baby!

Simply repent and get your thinking in order.  Throw off the chains that bind you and the scales of darkness that cover your eyes.

ATTEMPTS AT THE ONE MIGHTY AND STRONG

 There have been many who have pretended to this title:

Claimants to the One Mighty and StrongEdit

Since the end of the 19th century, a number of individuals have proposed a third interpretation of the prophecy: that Smith predicted the coming of "One Mighty and Strong" and that such a person has been identified. Often, those who claim to have discovered the identity of the One Mighty and Strong identify themselves as the fulfillment of the prophecy.

That interpretation assumes a much broader role of the One Mighty and Strong, extending throughout the church and beyond the confines of Jackson County, Missouri. Such individuals generally have alleged that the LDS Church is "out of order" and that the One Mighty and Strong has been sent to set it in order, as prophesied by Smith.

The following chart includes individuals who have claimed to have identified the One Mighty and Strong:
