THE CATALYST FOR CW2.0?

 I have always wondered what this would be.

The really ugly start to CW1.0 was Fort Sumpter, but the very first true shot was fired at Harper’s Ferry, so I am careful to box events in a preconceived construct.

Interesting possibility here:

Didn’t Joseph Smith prophesied that America would have a second civil war and it would start in Chicago? If so, what are the chances that the Democratic National Convention will be the catalyst for this? The convention is in Chicago August 19-22 2024. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

ELIZA R SNOW, HYMN 323 THOU EARTH WAS ONCE A GLORIOUS SPHERE

 I have never before seen music to this hymn, but you can now listen to it played here and see a few of the 11 verses:

I love freaking people out with this knowledge.  Especially if they have a testimony of Joseph Smith and the Restored Gospel.

GREAT DEPRESSION COMING

 Folks, this prophetic utterance is clear on so many levels:

Q DESIGNEE .625 OVER AND OUT

 This is a blog post to remember that my sister (the fifth of 8 children) passed to the other side this past Sunday.  It was a very sad thing, because there were unresolved issues there involving three people (myself included) over four decades ago.

Because of the sensitive nature of the problem that was embarrassing for .625, she refused to acknowledge her part in the fiasco and even threw me under the bus, maligning my name and threatening (classic gaslighting) to plow anyone else under who brought this up.  This included another sibling that was there and acknoweledged my version of events, despite a rigorous attempt by most of the rest of the family posse who sided with 5 of 8, to make me out for a liar, bad of memory, etc etc.  This in spite of the fact that there was someone else there who was willing to go to bat for me and lay any questions to bed.

Fact is this:  few, if any, care for the truth - unless it is convenient for them and will benefit them.  In fact, in analyzing the events over the last few days, my wife and I came to the conclusion that, in fact, secret combinations can and do exist even at the family level.  The mechanics of it are basic - and their main goal and design is to get gain (either financially or socially) and to get one person or a group of people above the other.  And so I have experienced this at a level I had never before thought possible; a micro-secret combination, of sorts.

And this is the beginning of how it pervades society.  It must start in the family and spread like an insidious cancer from family to family, from organ to organ until it permeates governments and everything in society.  The only ones that can shield themselves from it are those who simply stand on principle and principle alone and who make a conscious effort not to partake.  These are the few who will make it into the Millennium.

So, all unresolved bad juju will have to be taken care of on the other side if it is not resolved over here.  If serious enough, that person will be damned in their progression, until that thing is resolved.

MY LOVE AND APPRECIATION FOR ELDER HOLLAND - A SHRED ON THE DoC CROWD

 My wife and I were blessed to be able to both attend the open house and the recent dedication of the St George temple.  What an amazing building and what an amazing testament to those who struggled in the heat, the swampy conditions and in their poverty to make that southern Utah blessing a reality.  

As President Holland is from St George and was sealed to his recently departed wife along with 5 generations of Hollands having work done there, etc.  Elder Holland invited his son to bear his testimony, which was lovely.  What a legacy to fall back on!  I revere all who have sacrificed and served in that building.  Those also, who have visited and implored that their ordinances be completed.

Now, for my roast of those who cry against this work and call out sin where there is none.  Firstly, Brigham Young and those who built the building.  Many of them were involved in plurality of wives at the time.  Only the most stalwart members were called into that practice.  Only the most stalwart and hardy men and women were called to settle the bleak and remote areas of the American frontier.  Many of these converts were there in Nauvoo and some practiced at the direction of Joseph Smith.  Any cover up of activities at the time would have been to preserve the nascent church (bride) from further damage and outfall from a confession to that practice.  Things were already difficult in a Victorian climate where chastity/virtue was feigned, while living lasciviously in private.  As Brigham Young opined, "At least my other women are out in the open, while those who oppress me slink about in the dark alleys of the Capitol, unbeknownst to their wives..."

After hearing the heartfelt testimonies during the dedication, I could not help but think of the DoC crowd who, in their hatred of polygamy, would throw Brigham and all of those faithful Saints, under the bus.  As I looked on the countenance of Elder Holland and thought of his dedication to the work, my thoughts could not help but wander to the diminutive accusers and ask the question, "Where is thy glory, that I should (follow) thee?".  The fact is, there is no comparison - even to several orders of magnitude.  The accusers are shallow of Spirit and have nowhere close to the works that "Brigham's Church" has accomplished in taking the gospel forward to every nation, kindred, tongue and people - which the Savior declared was a solid requirement before He could return in judgment prior to His coming in glory.  And "by their fruits, ye shall know them"!

The proof is in the pudding, folks!  Yet, I still see a few get picked off by the wiles of the forked tongues of the DoC crowd.

The wolves shall reap what they sow, so help me God.  I will see to it either in this life or the next.

OPPOSITION TO THE WORK

 Attack on Heber C. Kimball

Wilford Woodruff writes: "The very day we entered that house it was filled with evil spirits, who sought to destroy us. We felt their power day after day. They did not particularly injure us at that time, but we knew they were with us. The incident that I am going to refer to now occurred after Brother Kimball had returned to Manchester. 

 

"Brother George A. Smith and myself were left there. We sat up one night till about 11 o'clock, talking about the Gospel of Christ, and then went to bed. The room in which we slept was small; there was about three and a half feet between our cots. Those spirits were gathered together in that room and sought to destroy us. They fell upon us with the determination to take our lives. 

 

"The distress, the suffering and the horror that rested upon me I never experienced neither before nor since. While in this condition a spirit said to me, "Pray to the Lord." Well, a man in that kind of warfare, when he is choking almost to death, is in a peculiar position to pray.  Nevertheless I went to praying with all the power I had. I knew we would die unless God opened some door for our deliverance, because we were being choked to death, and I prayed the Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ, to preserve our lives.

 

"While I was praying, the door opened and three messengers entered, and the room was filled with light equal to the blazing light of the sun at mid-day. Those messengers were all dressed in the robes of immortal beings. Who they were I know not. They laid hands upon me and my companion, and rebuked those evil powers, and we were saved. From that hour to this day, not only our lives were saved, but those powers were rebuked by the angels of God so that no Elder since has been tormented with them in London."

 

Heber C. Kimball writes: "I had been sleeping on the back of the bed. I immediately arose, slipped off at the foot of the bed, and passed around to where he [Elder Russell] was. Elder Hyde threw his feet out, and sat up in the bed, and we laid hands on him, I being mouth, and prayed that the Lord would have mercy on him, and rebuke the devil. 

 

"While thus engaged, I was struck with great force by some invisible power, and fell senseless on the floor. The first thing I recollected was being supported by Elders Hyde and Richards who were praying for me, Elder Richards having followed Russell up to my room. Elders Hyde and Richards then assisted me to get on the bed, but my agony was so great I could not endure it, and I arose, bowed my knees and prayed.

 

"I then arose and sat up on the bed, when a vision was opened to our minds, and we could distinctly see the evil spirits, who foamed and gnashed their teeth at us. We gazed upon them about an hour and a half (by Willard's watch). We were not looking towards the window,but towards the wall. Space appeared before us, and we saw the devils coming in legions, with their leaders, who came within a few feet of us. They came towards us like armies rushing to battle. They appeared to be men of full stature, possessing every form and feature of men in the flesh, who were angry and desperate; and I shall never forget the vindictive malignity depicted on their countenances as they looked me in the eye; and any attempt to paint the scene which then presented itself or portray their malice and enmity, would be vain.

 

"I perspired exceedingly, my clothes becoming as wet as if I had been taken out of the river. I felt excessive pain, and was in the greatest distress for some time. I cannot even look back on the scene without feelings of horror; yet by itI learned the power of the adversary, his enmity against the servants of God, and got some understanding of the invisible world. We distinctly heard these spirits talk and express their wrath and hellish designs against us. However, the Lord delivered us from them, and blessed us exceedingly that day."

 

When he returned home Heber C. Kimball asked the Prophet, Joseph Smith, "What was the matter of us? What had we done that we had to be submitted to such an experience?" 

 

Joseph responded, "Brother Heber, at that time you were nigh unto the Lord; there was only a veil between you and him, but you could not see him. When I heard of it, it gave me great joy, for I then knew that the work of God had taken root in that land. It was this that caused the devil to make a struggle to kill you. The nearer a person approaches the Lord, a greater power will be manifested by the adversary to prevent the accomplishment of his purposes."

THE THREE HARVESTS - THE BARLEY, THE WHEAT AND THE GRAPES (OF WRATH)....

 I was chit-chatting with a new-found friend over dinner a few days ago and he brought up the three different harvests.  They all could be 21 years long when added together (about 1/2 year of silence long) and this addition of harvests would make my timeline all make sense (for once).

What if each one were a separate 7 year period?  If each one contained a first part of 3.5 years, followed by a second part of 42 months plus an additional 45 days, with the last one being the most grievous.  

I am no thrashing expert, but apparently barley is EASY to remove the grain from the stalks and husks that hold it to the stem.   Wheat, not so much and it takes a stronger thrashing to dislodge it, as well as the fact that there are tares mixed in with it (what we are seeing now with the DoC, etc).  The third, which would theoretically start around 2027 would be a crushing event (few would survive it).

Around  March 22, 2013 the barley harvest started with the ceasing of the sacrifice in Jerusalem among the Samaritans that performed it yearly since the days of Christ.  It ended about 7 years later with the advent of the wheat harvest and the scamdemic, where it was all ratcheted up a level and included the closing of the temples (ceasing of the sacrifice) among the other tribes (Ephraim).  The mid-point was ushered in with the start of the war in the Middle East when the goons invaded from Gaza.

My guess is that the grape harvest will begin about March 2027 with something to do with the Anti-Christ taking power in Jerusalem and something to do with the temple there having ceased it's normally appointed function as it is desecrated by the Usurper. 

I still have to take all this and vet it against scripture, but I think this is correct. 

My friend and I both agree that Christ will come about April 2033AD, at the end of the Grape Harvest (having fully trodden the winepress).  See how all the imagery comes together?  The timing is perfect, the proposed narrative (story line) is amazing with all things fitting in and finally I can rest knowing that the Spirit has led me aright in all the stops and starts I have had over the years.

What is the Spirit telling you now with what was written above?

I would love to hear your commentary on this.

I plan to flesh it out over the next few years.
