DID THE LEVITES HAVE SPECIAL SKILZ?

 We know the ancient Israelites had some very interesting relics including the Rod of Aaron which was the staff that Moses used to perform his miracles and which was handed down to John the Baptist (direct descendant of Aaron) which ended up in this dispensation via Oliver Cowdery and which was the "cane" that Brigham used to strike the ground and declare the location of the Salt Lake Temple.  Here are some previous pieces I did on the subject:  https://woodyoubelieveit.blogspot.com/search?q=Rod+of+Aaron

And this was the subject that got me labelled a heretic by a counselor in our Cardston Bishopric for even mentioning.  Man, I hate it when facts and data get me into trouble....  Just because you are just too dumb or too disinterested to look up cool stuff, does not make me "nefarious".  Head in the sand much?

Anyway, they also had a device which was basically a laser, but whose name roughly translates into "holy worm" and could burn through stone and could kill people as a defensive weapon.  This was the Shamir and also has it's ties to the Garden of Eden:  https://woodyoubelieveit.blogspot.com/search?q=shamir

In like fashion, we know they used to transport very large things over exceeding long distances.  Large stones, etc  To the point, some feats cannot still be duplicated to this day.

Did the Levites (Aaron) also have this ability?:

I will be looking for more information to corroborate this detail.

WHY I AM A CATASTROPHIST

DAMASCUS HAS FALLEN? PROPHECY ON THE CUSP OF BECOMING FULFILLED

 Damascus is an interesting place.  Jesus was there.  Apparently, it has been under seige and attack but it has been continuously inhabited and has not suffered the fate of so many cities around it, such as Jerusalem with not so much as one stone standing upon another stone (the temple) or so many others where you find the foundations buried under 4 feet of debris, soil etc.  And the big one, all of the inhabitants being carried off into slavery - or outright slaughtered (thus, the miracle that it has been continuously inhabited for so long).  In contrast, how many times has Jerusalem been utterly flattened with either the Assyrians, Babylonians or Romans or who knows who else carrying them off to be slaves and dispersed throughout the known world at the time?

So, Assad is out - apparently fled his palace a few days ago.  Damascus has still not become a ruinous heap - so what will happen?  Will Russia attempt (with the current distraction in Ukraine) to take it back and place their puppet back in power?  If so, will that surge to take it back flatten it finally?  So far as I know, other than an Israeli attack on the Iranian Embassy in Damascus, it is still a city intact.  

Isaiah 17:1 declares, “The burden against Damascus: 'Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city, and it will be a ruinous heap. '” This prophecy remains unfulfilled for the time being, but the unraveling of Syria's stability suggests the fulfillment may be imminent.

What is the prophecy of Ezekiel 38?

What can we expect to happen when Damascus is destroyed?

It will become a heap of ruins, utterly destroyed. Few, if any, buildings will be left standing. The once great city will be devoid of human life and will become home to all manner of wildlife in the absence of humans.

Isaiah 17

King James Version

17 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

3 The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the Lord of hosts.

After this toppling and sacking of Damascus, Ephraim (the USA - and likely the UK, (Scotland/Ireland/England)) or all of Ephraim will lose her fortress.  In other words, the blessing of Ephraim where the "archers have grieved sorely" will finally be able to hit their mark and hit us like they could not do in WWII or any other conflict, as we were too far away to effect an attack on our own soil.  But this attack becomes reality.  I am not sure what happens, but when the Bear Lays the Paw on the Lion, this signals an emboldening of Russia on the world stage and she makes her move to be the top dog (what is China - the dragon - doing during this time??).

I guess time will tell.  Russia's only port outside of the Black Sea and their Arctic port, is located in Syria.  The US has Hawaii, Japan, Phillipines, Diego Garcia, Guam and so many others that she can use to refuel and re-supply to project power.  These are critical lifelines in global dominance.  Russia just needs to make sure that she can get her ships through the Dardanelles, into the Mediterranean and possibly out to the Atlantic to go to Venezuela or Cuba, etc. With the demonstrated reliability of her ships (they are always escorted with a tug), they need ports strategically situated in case there is a breakdown.  It is embarrassing/humiliating/demoralizing to have to limp into a NATO port and have to beg for moorage/fuel/etc.

So, the question remains as to why Syria would become so important to Russia that someone fights her for it and levels the city.  Ruinous heap applies more to what they did to Aleppo in the past decade.

I will be watching with GREAT interest what happens over the next few years in that area - for what happens there is key to the timeline of what happens here.

Buckle up!

WE ARE ON THE VERGE?

 This guy clearly acted out of desperation.  Out of vengeance, malice and hatred.

But, hear me out.  If I were on a jury and heard his story (likely his momma or himself or a very cherished sibling got screwed over when a critical treatment was denied to them by an executive's policy whose sole reason for existence is to push for the denial of benefits, to increase his company's profitability, increase "shareholder value" and whose main objective is not to increase the well-being of his constituents), I would have likely let the guy off the hook after a psych eval, so long as he wore an ankle bracelet for the rest of his life and was never allowed to buy firearms, etc.

Why?  Because this fat cat exec likely denied him something that was critical for human survival and he probably did the only thing he knew how - go to the source and "take care of the problem".  Possibly, if the denied treatment were for him, he would have nothing to lose if he were going critical anyway.  We all have to die sometime....

Radical you say?  Nope, I call genius in a world where corruption (people being bought out for ridiculous amounts of money) is rampant.  Have you ever asked yourself why people are paid the salaries they are?  Often, inflated salaries are paid out to dull the conscience of the initiate into the world of the Gadiantons, where the payouts and perks (gains) are more ridiculous the higher up the chain you go.

If this fellow had lashed out at the person on the end of the phone, he would have done the unthinkable to someone who was just doing what they were told.  In this instance, he went for the guy who likely pushed the policy button that got him into the health pickle that he is in.  A guy at the top of the chain who likely did not have a conscience.  Why no conscience?  Because for every minute he is at work, he is earning $75 per minute at his $10 million dollar salary.  This is how the Gadiantons work to screw the average person over: pay them ridiculous salaries and basically bribe them to screw the people to increase profits.  This is how Big Harma (not necessary the health insurance companies, but the purveyors of poisons) has screwed over the average man today.  They create the poisons, then get the average "in-doctor-inated" whitecoat to push their drugs to the average unsuspected/trusting fellow human being.  The doctors earn half or more of their incomes from big harma for having pushed their poisons.  So, while they live in veritable mansions by earning their filthy lucre, the rest of us unsuspecting and trusting people suffer the ill effects of their actions.  Many (not all doctors are bad - like those who set bones, deliver babies, promoters of good diets, etc) are just doing what they think is best, based on their knowledge.  Some know the truth and fight against the corruption.  Others know the truth and turn a blind eye to it.  Over time, they cannot deny the facts staring them right in the face.

So, if your loved ones perished on an airplane that was known to be faulty and an executive over safety hid those defects from the traveling public, the oversight (FAA) and they did it to keep the stock prices from plunging, what would you do if you did not fear a Just God?  Me?  I would be inclined to do the exact same thing this kid did in NY.  Thankfully, I know the plan and would never go there, knowing that if it does not get taken care of in this world, it will happen in the next life.  But as the vectors of godlessness cross each other (a population who is sick of getting screwed and does not believe in eternal consequences and the other vector of Gadiantons who just are in it for gain (money and power) and care not for the little guy who is getting screwed), you will begin to see more and more of this.  In fact, the pulling of the names of the executives off of of healthscare websites is telling.  They know that the lax public response (no outrage over a cold-blooded murder) tells them all they need to know; the average person is pissed at the fat cats who are living large, while we are collectively getting screwed.  Mutiny is afoot....

This is NOT a bad thing; precisely because it will lead to self-correcting behavior.  If these fat cat execs that are screwing the people over just to line their pockets, fear for their lives (if they are too deadened in conscience to do the right thing out of fear/respect of God), then they might act appropriately out of fear instead out of a sense of morality.  Either way, it gets the job done.  If the average person lets these types off and we see a wave of this overtake those who have dealt unjustly, then the will of the people have spoken.  Am I for lawlessness or violence?  Nope.  But I am for people treating each other in a fair-minded way.

In Japan, there is corruption, yes.  But there, the salary of the average high level manager is on order of less than an order of magnitude of the average working man's salary.  They are not put on a pedestal, just paid for the extra headache they might have as part of their job role or the amount of headache they had to put in to get their education in order to perform their job role.

https://metro.co.uk/2024/12/07/top-internet-sleuths-refuse-solve-unitedhealthcare-ceos-murder-22142141/

So, either way, the system will self-correct and the Gads will not utterly escape their fate.  Either in this life, or in the next.

THE RETURN OF THE TEN TRIBES TO THE NORTH

This is a great quote and fits with other corroborating statements by Joseph.  It will be spectacular!:

Jacob Hamblin was an earlier pioneer in southern Utah, and honest peace keeper with native Indians who became family by adoption.  He is sometimes referred to as the "Buckskin Apostle", or the "Apostle to the Lamanites". In 1958, he was inducted into the Hall of Great Westerners of the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum.

Coming in one day and seeing my geography on my lap, he [Jacob Hamblin] told [me] that the Prophet said to him that at the North Pole is [a] convex or cup shaped [depression] with the deepest sea resting there. The planet that belonged to that part of the world would in time return to its place, strike the earth at that part, complete the sphere. The result would be a ‘reeling to and fro like a drunken man’ by the Earth … (Biographical Record of Martha Cragun Cox, p. 104. Church Historican Department

BEWARE WHO YOU STAB IN THE BACK

 This is a quote from a fellow Boeing engineer that was a contractor and then went direct and became a manager.  When he was a lowly contractor, he would always say this:  

"You have to be careful whom you screw over, for tomorrow you may be licking their boots..."

This applies to all situations.  Especially all the beaurocrats that screwed him over in California and on his SpaceX ventures in Texas, etc.   He and Ramaswany (sp) are going to do a mighty work in cutting the fat - and more likely focusing on areas where they have been given hell by the useless parasites of DC.

To all the people who have thrown significant people or institutions under the bus (Joseph Smith, Jesus, etc), there will be a cummeuppance and it is not going to be pretty.  EVERY action has an equal and opposite reaction.  You cannot run away and hide from perfect Justice.  If you trash the Book of Mormon and the institution that safeguards it, you will have to answer to those who gave their lives over this.  NOT going to be very pretty.

FRAGMENTS OF THE TEMPLE CEREMONY THROUGHOUT ALL CULTURES - HANDED DOWN FROM ADAM TO NOAH TO JOSEPH SMITH

 I have a few former friends who were too smart for their own good that have completely (arrogantly and stupidly) rejected the Book of Mormon and Joseph and the Endowment.  Basically, they got mad at the Church's position on the wackseen and decided to throw the baby out with the bathwater.  It almost sucked in a few people that I love, so I went on a brutal attack - which they then turned on me and tried calling me out for "not understanding" their insane "journey".  Man, I have come to hate that word...  It is code for "letting go of the Iron Rod and doing a cross country jaunt through the mists of darkness".  When they finally pull their heads out of their asses (like Martin Harris finally did), the wreckage is often too great to overcome with what life they have left, if in their older years...  Most start this insane "journey" about the mid-life crisis time.  

Basically, I have found in the case that hits the closest to home, that there is excessive attention to worldly pursuits like Christmas celebrations, B-days, etc (thousands of dollars for each shindig) and you will rarely find a church book in their library to balance out the the Sunday sports, the Harry Potter BS and other mindless fantasy.  You will rarely find food in their pantries because they are so busy partying like it is 1999.  Hardly the take I would have considering world events and warnings from those on the watchtowers that Jesus' coming is imminent.  This makes them easy to deceive because they do not know the doctrines of the Kingdom and usually come to the wolves and charlatans to receive their "knowledge".  They are nice social Mormons (people I actually enjoyon a casual basis, just not the ones you want to be around when the crap hits the fan).  Because they will be on your doorstep asking for food and family connections will be strained by the response of "heck no, but sorry!!".  Jesus was very clear that we are not to share our oil (knowledge/spiritual and food/temporal) after the door is closed against those who were foolish.  That mindset might be easy to maintain considering those in this position would hardly give a "crazy" guy like me the time of day while giving out the rhetoric I have been assigned to distribute by God himself in a temple of the Lord.  When the hammer falls, I hope the separation of the sheep and the goats will be very stark, so things are not messy in the interrim.

For such, I hold no respect.  They never followed the Prophet (at least to the level I think we should be doing towards the Lord's mouthpiece), so why should they criticize him for telling everyone basically that they are on their own (because the Church likely has been infiltrated and they are not allowed to say what needs to be said without the Deep State shutting them down) and to seek out the best medical advice and to get a response on the jib jab from the HG (and not man).  In my opinion, anyone over a 120 IQ could see the scamdemic for what it was:  a manipulative ploy to foist something on mankind - the entire world population.  So much hysteria and BS.  So, the response by the Church shows that something was clearly illogical.

So anyway - here is to baby that got chucked with the bathwater.  Tread on sacred things very lightly!

Here is just one video and book that backs up the Endowment through history:

Enjoy!  And hold fast to the Iron Rod!

JOSEPH SMITH'S PATRIARCHAL BLESSING

 Good stuff in relation to the previous post, in that he will be there with the Savior to judge Israel during the time of tribulation, when the earth shall reel to and fro (the great EQ of VoG as taught in Matthew 24, etc?:

Joseph Smith,Jr.

Given by Joseph Smith, Sr., Patriarch of the Church of the Latter Day
Saints, to his son on December 9, 1834. Joseph Smith, junior was born in
Sharon, Windsor County, Vermont, December 23, 1805.

Joseph, my son, I lay my hands upon thy head in the name of the Lord
Jesus Christ, to confirm upon thee a father's blessing. The Lord thy God
has called thee by name out of the heavens: thou hast heard his voice
from on high from time to time, even in thy youth. The hand of the angel
of his presence has been extended toward thee by which thou hast been
lifted up and sustained; yea, the Lord has delivered thee from the hands
of thine enemies and thou hast been made to rejoice in his salvation:
thou hast sought to know his ways, and from thy childhood thou hast
meditated much upon the great things of his law. Thou hast suffered much
in thy youth, and the poverty and afflictions of thy father's family
have been a grief to thy soul. Thou hast desired to see them delivered
from bondage, for thou hast loved them with a perfect love. Thou hast
stood by thy father, and like Shem, would have covered his nakedness,
rather than see him exposed to shame: when the daughters of the Gentiles
laughed, thy heart has been moved with a just anger to avenge thy
kindred. Thou hast been an obedient son: the commands of thy father and
the reproofs of thy mother, thou hast respected and obeyed - for all
these things the Lord my God will bless thee. Thou hast been called,
even in thy youth to the great work of the Lord: to do a work in this
generation which no man would do as thyself, in all things according to
the will of the Lord. A marvelous work and a wonder has the Lord wrought
by thy hand, even that which shall prepare the way for the remnants of
his people to come in among the Gentiles, with their fulness, as the
tribes of Israel are restored.

I bless thee with the blessings of thy fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
and even the blessings of thy father Joseph, the son of Jacob. Behold,
he looked after his posterity in the last days, when they should be
scattered and driven by the Gentiles, and wept before the Lord: he
sought diligently to know from whence the son should come who should
bring forth the word of the Lord, by which they might be enlightened,
and brought back to the true fold, and his eyes beheld thee, my son: his
heart rejoiced and his soul was satisfied, and he said, As my blessings
are to extend to the utmost bounds of the everlasting hills, as my
father's blessing prevailed above the blessings of his progen[i]tor, and
as my branches are to run over the wall, and my seed are to inherit the
choice land whereon the Zion of God shall stand in the last days, from
among my seed, scattered with the Gentiles, shall a choice Seer arise
whose bowles shall be as a fountain of truth, whose loins shall be
girded with the girdle of righteousness, whose hands shall be lifted
with acceptance before the God of Jacob to turn away his anger from his
annointed, whose heart shall meditate great wisdom, whose intelligence
shall circumscribe and comprehend the deep things of God, and whose
mouth shall utter the law of the just: His feet shall stand upon the
neck of his enemies, and he shall walk upon the ashes of those who seek
his destruction: with wine and oil shall he be sustained, and he shall
feed upon the heritage of Jacob his father: the just shall desire his
society, and the upright in heart shall be his companions: No weapon
formed against him shall prosper, and though the wicked mar him for a
little season, he shall be like one rising up in the heat of wine - he
shall roar in his strength, and the Lord shall put to flight his
persecutors: he shall be blessed like the fruitful olive, and his memory
shall be as sweet as the choice cluster of the first ripe grapes. Like a
shief fully ripe, gathered into the garner, so shall he stand before the
Lord, having produced a hundred fold. Thus spake my father Joseph.
Therefore, my son, I know for a surety that those things will be
fulfilled, and I confirm upon thee all these blessings.

Thou shalt like to do the work which the Lord shall command thee: Thou
shalt hold the Keys of this ministry, even the presidency of this
church, both in time and in eternity. Thy heart shall be enlarged, and
thou shalt be able to fill up the measure of thy days according to the
will of the Lord. Thou shalt speak the word of the Lord and the earth
shall tremble; the mountains shall move and the rivers shall turn out of
their course. Thou shalt escape the edge of the sword, and put to flight
the armies of the wicked. At thy word the lame shall walk, the deaf
shall hear and the blind shall see. Thou shalt be gathered to Zion and
in the goodly land thou shalt enjoy thine inheritance; thy children and
thy children's children to the latest generation; for thy name and the
names of thy posterity shall be recorded in the book of the Lord, even
in the book of blessings and genealogies, for their joy and benefit
forever. And now, my son, what more shall I say? Thou art as a fruitful
olive and a choice vine: thou shalt be laden with precious fruit.
Thousands and tens of thousands shall come to a knowledge of the truth
through thy ministry, and thou shalt rejoice with them in the Celestial
Kingdom:

Thou shalt stand upon the earth when it shall reel to and fro as a
drunken man, and be removed out of its place: thou shalt stand when the
mighty judgments go forth to the destruction of the wicked: thou shalt
stand on Mount Zion when the tribes of Jacob come shouting from the
north, and with thy brethren, the sons of Ephraim, crown them in the
name of Jesus Christ: Thou shalt see thy Redeemer come in the clouds of
heaven, and with the just receive the hallowed throng with shouts of
hallalujahs, praise the Lord. Amen

HOW CLOSE ARE WE TO FIGHTING OFF THE CABAL? SAVIOR COMING TO THE OLD JERUSALEM?

 If you have not, please read the previous list of items that Joseph Smith will be involved in.  Being written by a "Gentile/Jew", it is uncanny how close or rather spot on it was at predicting Joseph's role and mission here on earth.  The thing I want to focus in on is the statement of this Ben Joseph (Son of Joseph = Joseph Smith Jr) going with Ben David (Son of David = Jesus Christ) to do some kick butt over in Jerusalem after the forces are gathered about the Holy Land:

    14. when Messiah ben David appears, the first person he will resurrect is ben Joseph, and together the Saviors [plural] will stand on mount Zion and mount of Olives to fight and destroy Edom. This is Armageddon; then comes the Great Sabbath of the Lord. messiah .

So, Joseph will be the first person caught up in this phase of the Resurrection.  Then those who have been raised with him will constitute an army that will fight those from Syria, Turkey, Iran and southern Russia who have come against Israel (Edom = Children of Esau/twin brother of Jacob and traditional enemy/foe of Israel).  I find it interesting that there will be a massive EQ on that side of the world such that the Mount of Olives will split in twain.  Could it be that this same EQ is what is the residual felt from what hits the West Coast in the VoG narrative?

I just read another account of what people see happening in Utah County.  Massive land subsidence and growth (mountains disappearing and some coming up where they were not before).

So, if Joseph is physically (Resurrected) in SLC after the big EQ there, does it not stand to reason that the two EQs are in the same time frame?  Does it not make sense that the nations of the earth feel that the time is right to attack Israel once Israel no longer has the protection of the USA?  If so, what is massive enough to take down the USA such that they cannot come to the aid and protection of Israel?  I think the answer is given through deduction and plain logic.

It will be monumental.  It will be sooner than most think.  In the lifetime of President Oaks and President Holland.

Messiah Ben Joseph

 (While I was attending Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies [Chicago], the rabbis taught whole lessons/classes on messiah ben Joseph - the latter-day Ephraimite prophet; and I have written several papers on him. Here are a few of my findings that I am just remembering off of the top of my head:

1. messiah ben Joseph is the fore-runner to, and suffering servant of Messiah ben David.

2. He has many symbolic names, e.g. Breaker [Daniel's prophecy], Taheb [Ingatherer - for Israel will be gathered for the last time] Rem [wild bullock with the black and shiny horns; the symbol for Ephraim is the wild bullock, the symbol for Judah is the lion], Asiph [restorer], etc. but his name will be Joseph, after his father - a descendant of Joseph of Egypt through his first born, Ephraim

3. “Messiah ben Joseph must prove his identity not by miracles, but by his historical success.” Klausner; whereas MEssiah ben David will be known by his miracles. 

4. according to the Dead Sea Scrolls, beacuse he knows nothing pertaining to things divine or religious or the correct way to worship G-d, that when a lad, while on his knees in prayer to ask G-d what to do, the heavens will open and G-d the Father and the Son of Man will appear to him; and that, like Moses, he will be afforded the privilege of asking any question he wants.

5. he will deliver a new Torah, given to him after "the many lectures" [Ginzberg] by the hand of Manassah on the 1st of Tishre. Joseph will translate the new Torah by Urim and Thummin. It will be delivered to the people on the 1st of Nisan.

6. he will lay the cornerstone of the temple on the 9th of Av, thereby negating the Black Fast.

7. he is the 2nd Moses, and will have two counselors, twelve advisers, plus the seventies.

8. he will restore prophecy, priesthood, temples and deliver a new tora.

9. both Moses and Elijah would appear to him "in the self same hour" on the 15th of Nisan to restore the keys of gathering Israel, including the return of the lost ten tribes, and the keys for Elijah's sealing powers to straighten out our genealogies.[Ginzberg]

10. he would send an envoy to Jerusalem in 5600 [1840] to call the Jews back home.

11. he would suffer much at the hands of Armilus.

12. he would become a general in the army. 

13. he would live about 40 years, be martyred while doing battle with the enemies of Messiah ben David; but Joseph's death will have no atoning effect what-so-ever.

14. when Messiah ben David appears, the first person he will resurrect is ben Joseph, and together the Saviors [plural] will stand on mount Zion and mount of Olives to fight and destroy Edom. This is Armageddon; then comes the Great Sabbath of the Lord. messiah .
