HEBER C. KIMBALL - ARE THE JUDGMENTS OF GOD UPON US SHORTLY?

We are at the time when the judgments of God are about to be poured out - and the army of Elders (and Sisters) is about to be called home.  I am not so sure Spencer was versed in some of these prophecies, but he did describe what is coming just as Heber Kimball did:

"An army of Elders will be sent to the four quarters of the earth to

search out the righteous and warn the wicked of what is coming. All kinds

of religions will be started and miracles performed that will deceive the

very elect if that were possible. Our sons and daughters must live so as to

be prepared for what is coming.

After a while the Gentiles will gather by the thousands to this

place, and Salt Lake City will be classed among the wicked cities of the

world. A spirit of speculation and extravagance will take possession of the

Saints, and the results will be financial bondage.

Persecution comes next and all true Latter-Day Saints will be tested

to the limit. Many will apostatize and others will be still not knowing

what to do. The judgments of God will be poured out upon the wicked to the

extent that our Elders far and near will be called home, or in other words,

the gospel will be taken from the Gentiles and later carried on to the Jews.

The western boundary of the State of Missouri will be swept so clean

of its inhabitants that, as President Young tells it, when you return to

that place, there will not be so much as a yellow dog left to wag his tail.

Before that day comes, however, the Saints will be put to the tests that

will try the integrity of the best of them. The pressures will become so

great that the more righteous among them will cry unto the Lord day and

night until deliverance comes.

Then the Prophet (Joseph Smith) and others will make their

appearance and those who have remained faithful will be selected to return

to Jackson County, Missouri and take part in the upbuilding of that

beautiful city, the New Jerusalem." Deseret News, May 23, 1931

INTERESTING REFERENCE TO PREVIOUS CATACLYSMIC WINTER

Wow - this is major doom!

Interesting indeed!

Why is the global climatic cataclysm of the sixth century virtually unheard of?

There was a sign from the sun, the like of which had never been seen and reported before. The sun became dark and its darkness lasted for 18 months.  Each day, it shone for about four hours, and still this light was only a feeble shadow.  Everyone declared that the sun would never recover its full light again.
Historiae Ecclesiasticae

Between the years 535 and 536, a series of major global climatic events that took place that could easily be described as a global cataclysm with catastrophic consequences. The above abstract is from the sixth century historian and church leader, John of Ephesus, in his historical work, Church Histories (‘Historiae Ecclesiasticae’).
John of Ephesus is not the only one that mentions this event. Procopius lived between 500 and 565 AD and he was a late antiquities scholar and one of the main historians of the 6^th century. He also refers to the strange behaviour of the sun and believed that it was a bad sign and the beginning of other events.

… during this year a most dread portent took place. For the sun gave forth its light without brightness...and it seemed exceedingly like the sun in eclipse, for the beams it shed were not clear.,
History of the Wars: The Vandalic War.

And we have yet another reference from the sixth century writer, Zacharias of Mytilene, who authored a chronicle that contains a section referring to the ‘Dark Sun’ for the period of 535/536 AD.

The sun began to be darkened by day and the moon by night, while the ocean was tumultuous with spray from the 24th of March in this year till the 24th of June in the following year... And, as the winter was a severe one, so much so that from the large and unwonted quantity of snow the birds perished... there was distress... among men... from the evil things,
Zacharias of Mytilene (Chronicle, 9.19, 10.1)

These three extracts are just a representative sample of numerous accounts from all over the world, written in the same period of time. In all cases, the sun was described as getting dimmer and losing its light. Many also described it as having a bluish colour. The effects were also observed with the moon – it wasn’t as bright anymore. The reduction of the light resulted in the reduction of heat on the planet; no rain and a very long winter resulted in crop failures and for birds and other wildlife to perish, as Zacharias of Mytilene writes. Famine and plagues struck many areas and there were a huge number of deaths.
In China and Japan, the event was also recorded in great detail. Massive droughts and thousands of deaths. The water wasn’t enough for the people and the land. Hundreds of thousands of square miles became infertile. In the Beishi chronicles, the official history of the Northern Dynasties, mentions that in 536, in the province of Xi’an, 80% of the population died and the survivors ate corpses to survive.
The catastrophic event struck Korea, the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Australia.  While written records do not exist for all countries, archaeological and geological data revealed evidence of the climatic changes. Studies done on the trunks of trees, for example, showed that 536 AD had been the coldest in 1,500 years.
The important question in all of this is, why did it happen?  While there are no definite answers, one theory that has been put forward is that there was a large asteroid or comet impact which landed in the sea (if it hit land there would be evidence of a crater). Geologist Dallas Abbott is one proponent of this view and bases his view on evidence that he found studying ice cores from Greenland. However, this wouldn’t explain the dim light of the sun, and no tsunamis have been recorded for this period, which would have occurred if an asteroid landed in the ocean.
Another theory that has been put forward is a gigantic volcanic eruption – the dust thrown up into the atmosphere could have caused the dimming of the light.  One candidate is Krakatoa, located between the islands of Java and Sumatra in Indonesia. Indeed, the Book of the Ancient Kings or Pustaka Raja Purwa, written in 1869, describes an ancient volcano.

There was a furious shaking of the earth, total darkness, thunder and lighting.
… Then came forth a furious gale together with torrential rain and a deadly storm darkened the entire world.
… When the waters subsided it could be seen that the island of Java had been split into two, this creating the island of Sumatra.

However, this manuscript refers to the year 416 AD and not 535 AD.  Nevertheless, the fact that it was written in the 19^th century could account for inaccuracies in the time reference.
Whether or not the answer will ever be found is unknown. It is unclear whether scientists are even continuing to pursue research on this event. One thing that is quite peculiar about this global cataclysm is that it is a very little known event. Why is it that this climatic event is not taught in schools? Why isn’t there a plethora of research examining it? Perhaps it is because it reminds us of our fragility as human beings and the fact that no matter how powerful and ‘advanced’ mankind becomes, we are still at the mercy of nature.

WHAT MATTERS THE MOST - MILLENNIAL MACHINATIONS

I just got off the phone with a good buddy of mine.  He had a surprise tax windfall of quite a bit of money.  Of course, my first thing was to ask how much food storage he was planning on buying.  He is a great guy, but with the kids out of the house and other things, why keep any around??  I am glad he is finally thinking along the lines he is thinking.

We were talking about how our jobs are parasitic in nature.  He is a chiropractor, my current role as an engineer is to fix other peoples' screw-ups and make airplanes better.  We both rely on other's misfortunes in order to generate a living.  Then, there are lawyers (and I will pick on the divorce lawyers) who rely on the destruction of the most important thing God has ordained in this life, in order to make their parasitic living.  There are those in the command structure of the military who get to try out new weapons systems in manufactured conflicts and wars.  Then, there are politicians who are attempting to change the entire face of a nation, who will intentionally suck us into another war in order to distract the people away from the truth of what is going on - in order that they may hold onto power.  These will answer for every life that is lost in a hellish, senseless contest.

Last of all - but not least amongst the gadiantons that rule in this day of the devil's temporary seat of power as armies and navies are bought and sold with the plundered treasures of this earth - are the bankSTers.  These have always played both sides of every conflict, much as those who buy and sell in commodities, selling long or short; gambling on the outcomes of the fate of nations.  This is the buying and selling of human souls.  For this, a heavy price will be paid in the judgment; yet, for those who control things at the very top, I feel little pity - and only ask for a speedy end to the vicious game they have played on the human family.

When Christ comes, these will all come to an end.  You will find few lawyers, high-ranking business officials and other "dignitaries" of Babylon in the halls of power of Christ's true church.  Instead, you will find some of the most humble there; no status, no power, no worldly learning.  Just simple men (and women) who have learned to walk by the Spirit.  Their dress might be simple, but they will teach and lead the people with power and integrity.

In that day, the people will have no parasitic function.  People will toil for their own bread and will be connected to the land.  No lawyers as a child will be able to understand the law - and no one will dig a pit to entrap his neighbor.  Few doctors as faith will abound and health will be a luxury that all enjoy.  No money, as consecration will be covenanted - and lived.  Food will grow easily, and the joy will be in preparing and sharing.  Joy will be abundant - because the people will have cast off the system of Babylon of consuming upon their lusts - having to have - and will enjoy living after the manner of happiness.  This new thinking and learning will come at a great cost - but it will distill on the newer generation after the older generation has passed on.  This is why it most likely take around 20-40 years for the Millennium to be fully ushered in.

So, do not get too comfortable in today's systems and constructs - for they ALL must fail and not come to our remembrance.  For those who look back longingly after they have fled Babylon, these are not fit for the Kingdom of Heaven and it's precursor, Zion.

NASA SEVERS MOST ALL TIES WITH RUSSIA

Except for details of our international cooperation on the Space Station.  Yeah, bummer - we are hitching a ride on Russian rockets to get to and from that space pad.  Wow - well thought out....

NASA Is Severing Ties With Russia

Apparently it won't affect work on the International Space Station

By

Colin Lecher

According to an internal memo obtained by The Verge, NASA will be severing ties with Russian government officials over the country's "violation of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity."
The memo says all meetings between NASA employees and Russian officials have been banned. That extends to personal visits, phone calls, and even emails. The only exception being made is for "operational International Space Station activities." (Right now, the U.S. buys trips to the ISS from Russia; it's unclear how this will affect that arrangement, if at all.)
The memo comes after NASA chief Charles Bolden slammed Congress for failing to increase the NASA budget enough to stay independent of Russia.
Here, via SpaceRef, is the full text of the email:

From: O'Brien, Michael F (HQ-TA000)
Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2014 9:33 AM
To: [Deleted]
Cc: [Deleted]
Subject: Suspension of NASA contact with Russian entities
Dear Colleagues,
Given Russia's ongoing violation of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, until further notice, the U.S. Government has determined that all NASA contacts with Russian Government representatives are suspended, unless the activity has been specifically excepted. This suspension includes NASA travel to Russia and visits by Russian Government representatives to NASA facilities, bilateral meetings, email, and teleconferences or videoconferences. At the present time, only operational International Space Station activities have been excepted. In addition, multilateral meetings held outside of Russia that may include Russian participation are not precluded under the present guidance. If desired, our office will assist in communication with Russian entities regarding this suspension of activities. Specific questions regarding the implementation of this guidance can be directed to Ms. Meredith McKay, [phone redacted] or [email redacted], in our office.
We remain in close contact with the Department of State and other U.S. Government departments and agencies. If the situation changes, further guidance will be disseminated.

Michael F. O'Brien
Associate Administrator for International and Interagency Relations
National Aeronautics and Space Administration

We've reached out to NASA and will report back when we learn more.
Update: NASA has released a statement. Here it is in full:

Given Russia's ongoing violation of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, NASA is suspending the majority of its ongoing engagements with the Russian Federation. NASA and Roscosmos will, however, continue to work together to maintain safe and continuous operation of the International Space Station. NASA is laser focused on a plan to return human spaceflight launches to American soil, and end our reliance on Russia to get into space. This has been a top priority of the Obama Administration’s for the past five years, and had our plan been fully funded, we would have returned American human spaceflight launches – and the jobs they support – back to the United States next year.  With the reduced level of funding approved by Congress, we’re now looking at launching from U.S. soil in 2017. The choice here is between fully funding the plan to bring space launches back to America or continuing to send millions of dollars to the Russians.  It’s that simple.  The Obama Administration chooses to invest in America – and we are hopeful that Congress will do the same.

HAPPY CONFERENCE!

I am listening for what is not being said overtly - and there is much.

Here is a little gem about the Lost Rhoades mine:

HOW TO COME THRU THE COMING EARTHQUAKES WITH GRACE

My wife just gave me a report on new 5+ EQs in Panama and LA, etc.

I have told people that they need to get their EQ game on for this year - 2014, the Year of Change.  Part of this is dedicating our homes and all of our enterprises against the Destroyer which will bring many disasters upon the face of this earth, which will be instrumental in laying the wicked low and for the bringing forth of the ten tribes and many who have been secreted away that will come forward and bring their treasures that will be used to build up the New Jerusalem.

At the end of the world conference, I queried several people if they had brought over an army of Elders to dedicate their home.  I suggested having a get-together at the house with the EQ and then have them all kneel in unison and dedicate the structure.  When doing so, just as with the pronouncement of a blessing, specifics should be stated - mentioning foundations, walls, roof, the electrical, plumbing and going thru each part of the house.

This previous blog post, based on an Ensign article, sums up why this stuff is important:

IS GOD ON RUSSIA'S SIDE?

I think we could definitely say yes, as the A/C works 24/7 to trash the values of this country.....

I have always had a soft spot for Pat Buchanan.  I thought this would be good to share:

Opinion> Pat Buchanan

Pat Buchanan

Whose Side Is God on Now?

In his Kremlin defense of Russia's annexation of Crimea, Vladimir Putin, even before he began listing the battles where Russian blood had been shed on Crimean soil, spoke of an older deeper bond.
Crimea, said Putin, "is the location of ancient Khersones, where Prince Vladimir was baptized. His spiritual feat of adopting Orthodoxy predetermined the overall basis of the culture, civilization and human values that unite the peoples of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus."
Russia is a Christian country, Putin was saying.
This speech recalls last December's address where the former KGB chief spoke of Russia as standing against a decadent West:
"Many Euro-Atlantic countries have moved away from their roots, including Christian values. Policies are being pursued that place on the same level a multi-child family and a same-sex partnership, a faith in God and a belief in Satan. This is the path to degradation."
Heard any Western leader, say, Barack Obama, talk like that lately?
Indicting the "Bolsheviks" who gave away Crimea to Ukraine, Putin declared, "May God judge them."
What is going on here?
With Marxism-Leninism a dead faith, Putin is saying the new ideological struggle is between a debauched West led by the United States and a traditionalist world Russia would be proud to lead.
In the new war of beliefs, Putin is saying, it is Russia that is on God's side. The West is Gomorrah.
Western leaders who compare Putin's annexation of Crimea to Hitler's Anschluss with Austria, who dismiss him as a "KGB thug," who call him "the alleged thief, liar and murderer who rules Russia," as the Wall Street Journal's Holman Jenkins did, believe Putin's claim to stand on higher moral ground is beyond blasphemous.
But Vladimir Putin knows exactly what he is doing, and his new claim has a venerable lineage. The ex-Communist Whittaker Chambers who exposed Alger Hiss as a Soviet spy, was, at the time of his death in 1964, writing a book on "The Third Rome."
The first Rome was the Holy City and seat of Christianity that fell to Odoacer and his barbarians in 476 A.D. The second Rome was Constantinople, Byzantium, (today's Istanbul), which fell to the Turks in 1453. The successor city to Byzantium, the Third Rome, the last Rome to the old believers, was — Moscow.
Putin is entering a claim that Moscow is the Godly City of today and command post of the counter-reformation against the new paganism.
Putin is plugging into some of the modern world's most powerful currents.

AD FEEDBACK

Not only in his defiance of what much of the world sees as America's arrogant drive for global hegemony. Not only in his tribal defense of lost Russians left behind when the USSR disintegrated. He is also tapping into the worldwide revulsion of and resistance to the sewage of a hedonistic secular and social revolution coming out of the West.
In the culture war for the future of mankind, Putin is planting Russia's flag firmly on the side of traditional Christianity. His recent speeches carry echoes of John Paul II whose Evangelium Vitae in 1995 excoriated the West for its embrace of a "culture of death."
What did Pope John Paul mean by moral crimes?
The West's capitulation to a sexual revolution of easy divorce, rampant promiscuity, pornography, homosexuality, feminism, abortion, same-sex marriage, euthanasia, assisted suicide — the displacement of Christian values by Hollywood values.
Washington Post columnist Anne Applebaum writes that she was stunned when in Tbilisi to hear a Georgian lawyer declare of the former pro-Western regime of Mikhail Saakashvili, "They were LGBT."
"It was an eye-opening moment," wrote Applebaum. Fear and loathing of the same-sex-marriage pandemic has gone global. In Paris, a million-man Moral Majority marched in angry protest.
Author Masha Gessen, who has written a book on Putin, says of his last two years, "Russia is remaking itself as the leader of the anti-Western world."
But the war to be waged with the West is not with rockets. It is a cultural, social, moral war where Russia's role, in Putin's words, is to "prevent movement backward and downward, into chaotic darkness and a return to a primitive state."
Would that be the "chaotic darkness" and "primitive state" of mankind, before the Light came into the world?
This writer was startled to read in the Jan-Feb. newsletter from the social conservative World Council of Families in Rockford, Ill., that, of the "ten best trends" in the world in 2013, number one was "Russia Emerges as Pro-Family Leader."
In 2013, the Kremlin imposed a ban on homosexual propaganda, a ban on abortion advertising, a ban on abortions after 12 weeks and a ban on sacrilegious insults to religious believers.
"While the other super-powers march to a pagan world-view," writes WCF's Allan Carlson, "Russia is defending Judeo-Christian values. During the Soviet era, Western communists flocked to Moscow. This year, World Congress of Families VII will be held in Moscow, Sept. 10-12."
Will Vladimir Putin give the keynote?
In the new ideological Cold War, whose side is God on now?

THE NEXT BIG ONE

As we checked into our motel last evening, a guy in the lobby watching CNN called out that there had been an 8.0+ EQ in Chile.  There was a larger one in Yellowstone in the last little while and Drudge is now reporting that the animals are on the move there.  Many have fled the park - enough that it is now drawing major attention.

I have had many whisperings and have not recorded them.  One was all of the areas that we visited on the California "judgment tour" will have an increase in seismic activity until the "Spencer" event occurs.  As we were attempting to get from the redwoods over to the I-5 corridor in N. Cali, I was debating as to whether it would be faster and easier to go thru Eureka, or up some crazy back road.  My intent was to drive thru the area that would receive the next one - the area where the San Andreas finally exits the state and dives west into the ocean.  Sure enough, that was the next one - a 6.0+ off the coast with little damage to the coast line cities.  That one will finally unzip from Baja all the way north making many areas islands.  San Francisco will be a total loss.  God will bury it so that its sins no longer ascend.  We drove through many parts of that city and could not see a chapel anywhere.  The good people who once called it home have largely fled - just as the buffalo and elk in Yellowstone.  Good people have been warned in advance and common sense has prevailed.  As we drove around the Hollywood Hills area looking for the spot that gives the best photo op for the sign, I had many feelings for that area - and how the largely homosexual neighborhoods would be broken up beyond recognition and then swept by a wave off the Pacific.  The first large EQ in nearly a decade has hit in that very area.

We will see an uptick in EQs all along our Pacific coastline, from AK to Chile as the spine of the Everlasting Hills is broken and shaken - just as Spencer has spoken.  One of the driving forces of the people coming to the NJ will be revelation to finally emerge from their hiding spots and to bring their treasures and come forward.  Another will be to come to a more seismically stable area while the continents drift to their original locations and the earth is once again made more smooth and productive.

What a glorious time it will be!  Those from all dispensations will come to hear the stories of those that are blessed to participate in these wondrous final scenes!

THE END OF THE WORLD CONFERENCE - NOT SNUFFED YET

We had a delightful evening.  We had right around 50 adults present - the living/eating areas of the house were stuffed to the gills.  Our hostess was a little nervous because she has been to several of these "Highland Meetings" where apostate stuff has been presented (my wife and I went with her and her husband to the one where Doug Mendenhall presented the Jedi stuff), and I think her concern was the content I would have.  Someone from her Stake Presidency was there (and I think his wife and two of their children).  Presenting material along the lines of saying you can know the exact date of Christ coming to Jerusalem is RADICAL stuff in the given climate of "eat drink and be merry" since "no man knows the hour".  This higher ranking individual did not call me out on any false doctrine (in fact, of all the people there, he and a pregnant guest were the most lasered in on what I had to say) - and I have not gotten a call from the Stake Secretary in my own unit so far, so that is encouraging.....

I also did make the distinction of people (and angels in heaven) not knowing the hour of the final and all-consuming fire that signals the end of the telestial work of this earth (the one that comes when the NJ is caught up to meet the returning City of Enoch).  I would surmise that, because this involves agency and final judgment of God's children, no one can know that hour.  Knowing the hour of the "regional" event in Jerusalem is quite a bit easier.  If everybody and their dog and their tank is headed towards a single location on this earth and two prophets reveal themselves as the ones who are hedging up the way of said horde, then we probably have a dead ringer.  If those two prophets finally are lying dead in the streets and the bloodbath begins of God's chosen people, then you have EXACTLY 84 hours, or 3.5 days.  It will be quite easy to figure out really, in advance.  This logic is not infused with rocket science - though millions upon millions have been so brain washed as to impulsively follow the oft-repeated mantra, "no man knows the hour", even though we have been told so clearly that we must watch and wait......

At the very end, we had one heckler (of sorts) that "crashed the Spirit", who basically said that he had been burned by listening to others who said the same kinds of things of the "end being near" - and basically asking me what made my remarks any different.  I responded that he and his wife needed to have the spirit of discernment in their lives and to find out for themselves.  Nothing matters if the Spirit will not put it's stamp of approval on the message.

I reminded people that I have no keys nor stewardship over any of them - I am just sharing what I have learned because of my experience in the Temple where I was told to warn as I have been warned (D&C 88:81).  I am excited to hear Conference talks in a few short days.  I will be listening for what is not directly said.  I think there will be much that is said without saying it.
