WHEN THE MISSIONARIES ARE CALLED HOME

Wow!!

It may be going down.  When the missionaries are called home early, you know we are there.

I am reading John Koyle’s prophecies on the matter.

Folks, I am almost giddy.  My feelings that the Times of the Gentiles are close to being fulfilled.


SECTION 87 OF THE DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS

Folks, this is a mighty feather in the cap of a Prophet.

I like the one by Orson Hyde at the end.  He was a prophet in his own right and was known as "the prophet to the Prophet (Brigham Young)".

This is one gift I would aspire to greatly.  We will need it in the coming days:

A month following the artillery rounds fired at Fort Sumter, South Carolina, signaling the start to the Civil War, the Philadelphia Sunday Mercury remarked, "We have in our possession a pamphlet, published at Liverpool, in 1851, containing a selection from the ‘revelations, translations and narrations’ of Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism.” Citing what is now Doctrine and Covenants 87, the paper continued, “The following prophecy is here said to have been made by Smith, on the 25th of December, 1832. In view of our present troubles, this prediction seems to be in progress of fulfillment, whether Joe Smith was a humbug or not.” Though early in the war’s advancement, the paper nevertheless speculated about the prophecy, concluding, “The war began in South Carolina. Insurrections of slaves are already dreaded. Famine will certainly afflict some Southern communities. The interference of Great Britain, on account of the want of cotton, is not improbable, if the war is protracted. In the meantime, a general war in Europe appears to be imminent. Have we not had a prophet among us?' Philadelphia Sunday Mercury, May 5, 1861

In Joseph’s own day, however, in consequence of the information received in section 87, he was commanded by the Lord to write a warning letter to the nation. This he did ten days after receiving section 87. His letter, to a Mr. N. E. Seaton (or, possibly, Sexton) was sent to Rochester, New York, and published in Seaton’s newspaper there. Moreover, Joseph exhorted other persons in his own lifetime to warn their friends and relatives in South Carolina to repent and to flee the carnage that was coming to that area. For example, Wilford Woodruff’s journal for December 30, 1860, records the following: “Brother Emmett Murphy preached in the morning and gave an account of his receiving the gospel, his gathering to Missouri, his visit to Joseph in Prison, [and] the advice of Joseph the Prophet to him to go to South Carolina and Georgia and warn his friends of the wrath and desolation that the people in that land [would suffer] and to gather out his friends to Zion, for the wars and rebellion would begin in South Carolina” (cited in Woodford’s Historical Development, 2:1108).http://ldscleardoctrine.com/Doctrine-an ... ion-87.php

After we had again established ourselves in a new country, and built up a beautiful city, and when all was peaceful and prosperity attending us, this same Prophet, on assembling the Elders of this Church on a certain occasion at Nauvoo, told us that we would have to flee to the Rocky Mountains for safety. The fulfillment of this prediction is apparent to all. I might mention scores of others, and in no instance has that man uttered a single prophecy that either has not already been fulfilled, to the very letter, or will not have its fulfillment in the due time of the Lord.
I will mention another prophecy, which was printed in several languages, and published among the various nations in whose languages it was printed, which was twenty-eight years reaching its fulfillment. The Lord revealed to the Prophet, Joseph Smith, that there would be a great rebellion between the Northern and Southern States, commencing in the State of South Carolina, and that it should terminate in the death and misery of many souls. This, as you all know, has been literally fulfilled. When I was a boy, I traveled extensively in the United States and the Canadas, preaching this restored Gospel. I had a manuscript copy of this revelation, which I carried in my pocket, and I was in the habit of reading it to the people among whom I traveled and preached. As a general thing the people regarded it as the height of nonsense, saying the Union was too strong to be broken; and I, they said, was led away, the victim of an impostor. Discourse by Elder Orson Pratt, delivered in the New Tabernacle, Salt Lake City, Sunday Afternoon, Aug. 26, 1876.

Joseph Smith later prophesied that the coming war would devastate Jackson County, Missouri, for its persecution of the saints so that “the fields and farms and houses will be destroyed, and only the chimneys will be left to mark the desolation” (Grey, “Joseph Smith and the Civil War,” 20; compare Webb, Battles and Biographies of Missourians, 5; Howard, Illinois, 298). This prophecy was fulfilled in every horrible detailhttp://ldscleardoctrine.com/Doctrine-an ... on-87.php.

In a letter from Mr. A. Saxey of Spanish Fork, Utah to Mr. Junius Wells treating further of the fulfillment of this prophecy, so well attested, Mr. Saxey under date of August 25, 1902 says:

"In the spring of 1862 my regiment went south, and it was during that time that "Order No. 11" was issued, but I was back there again in 1864, during the Price raid, and saw the condition of the country. The duty of executing the order was committed to Colossians W. R. Penick's regiment, and there is no doubt but that he carried it into effect, from the howl the copperhead papers made at the time. I went down the Blue river, we found houses, barns, outbuildings, nearly all burned down, and nothing left standing but the chimneys which had, according to the fashion of the time, been built on the outside of the buildings. I remember very well that the country looked a veritable desolation."
Missouri's problems began not long after the martyrdom of Joseph and Hyrum Smith.
The Civil War came early to Missouri and Kansas(about ten years before the civil war began, this border war began) stayed late, and was characterized at all times by unremitting and unparalleled brutality. More than anywhere else, it was truly a civil war. Bowen Kerrihard March 1999 issue of America’s Civil War.

The undeclared Kansas-Missouri border war that raged in the 1850shttp://www.historynet.com/americas-civi ... kansas.htm

Here is more info. on the infamous Order No. 11http://www.civilwaronthewesternborder.o ... rder-no-11

Doctrine and Covenants Section 87:3 For behold, the Southern States shall be divided against the Northern States, and the Southern States will call on other nations, even the nation of Great Britain, as it is called, and they shall also call upon other nations, in order to defend themselves against other nations; and then war shall be poured out upon all nations.

Notice "...even the nation of Great Britain, as it is called...shall also call upon other nations, in order to defend themselves against other nations". How very prophetic, Great Britain was not at war in 1832. They would not see a major war for more than seventy more years. Ever hear of "Rule, Britannia!"? In 1832 Britannia still ruled the waves, throughout the world. Although the American Colonists had miraculously sent them packing, they still also had an empire which they say the sun never sat on. They had a fearsome army as well. What an amazing prophesy that they would need to call upon other nations for defense.

Now, take a look at this. I have seen an original copy. Orson Hyde speaks of the twentieth century. In May 1862, at the beginning of the Civil War, in correlation with Joseph Smith's prophecy on Civil War, Orson Hyde, the apostle who dedicated the land of Palestine for the return of the Jews, made a startling prediction which has been literally fulfilled in the next century. He stated: "You have scarcely yet read the preface of your national troubles. Many nations will be drawn into the American maelstrom that now whirls through the land; and after many days, when the demon of war shall have exhausted his strength and madness upon American soil, by the destruction of all that can court or provoke opposition, excite cupidity, inspire revenge, or feed ambition, he will remove his headquarters to the banks of the Rhine.” (Orson Hyde, Millennial Star XXIV, p 274. May 1862.)

THE BORDER WITH CANADA IS CLOSED

This is getting ridiculous!

But I think it is necessary to get a handle on this thing.  It has gone asymptotic and we need to simply flatten it out.  The only way to do it is by social distancing.  We will need to make it with what we have on hand.  And just like that, preppers are cool....

Really cracks me up, it really does.  One of the best vindications I have ever experienced....:



We all need to be like Harry in the pic above.  Lay low and avoid the cameras.....

BRIGHAM TEA - THE ACE IN THE POCKET ON CORONA VIRUS

This is something a friend of ours smuggled across the border for us and a bunch of other people in a bulk buy.  Should be good for the plague along with yarrow.

Lots of steeping when the purple sores show up in the next couple of iterations:


Also known as Brigham or Mormon tea, ephedra nevadis is a non-stimulating ephedra plant (cousin to Ma Huang) that has been used since the dawn of time by the Native Americans in the western states.
It gained its nickname due to the fact that the natives in Utah and Nevada taught the Mormon pioneers how to use it...and they used it for all sorts of things!
 Brigham Young was so impressed with the plant's versatility, he named it in a short list of herbs every person should know how to use in "the last days".

There have been no reported undesirable side effects when the plant is used in its wholesome state.
Brigham tea has been used for a wide variety of ailments, including: asthma, hay fever, and other allergies for the first stages of a cold or influenza, arthritis, fluid retention, coughs, malarial and other fevers, headaches, rheumatism, syphilis, boils, acne, a digestive tonic, and many others. Brigham tea has been historically used by frontiersmen to treat venereal diseases, such as syphilis and gonorrhea.

Brigham tea has an affinity to copper, so you'll often find it growing near the copper mines in Utah.  But it does fine in most dryer climates and in depleted and compacted soil.  You learn quickly that you can't plant Brigham tea in a planter in your house with potting soil.  Instead, throw the seeds in the crappiest soil and water minimally.  Sorta like lavender.
You can get seeds and growing instructions from Caleb Warnock!

To prepare it as a respiratory support:
Trim a handful of the plant's stems and chop into inch chunks. Place the pieces in a small sauce pan and cover with approximately 4 cups water.  Simmer on stovetop (not in microwave!) for 10-15 minutes.  Strain and drink the tea.

You can buy it from Western Botanicals in several forms.  I often buy the powdered Brigham tea and make my own capsules.

THE TIME TO REPENT IS NOW

Amazing quote I swiped off FB:

These all happened in the last five months, in the order that they are listed.

2 Chronicles 7
   13 If I shut up heaven that there be NO RAIN, or if I command the LOCUSTS to devour the land, or if I send PESTILENCE among my people

1. DROUGHT AND WILDFIRES - Australia
2. LOCUSTS - East Africa, South Asia
3. PESTILENCE- Everywhere.

Next Verse:
   14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land

ALL ALBERTA SCHOOLS CLOSED INDEFINITELY

It is finally in Cardston.  Alberta is showing conservative leadership.  Thank heavens they threw the limp-wristed libbers out some time ago.  No gonads.  No leadership like we have from Trump.  Real men are decisive and move when it is time to move.

I told the kids they were not going to school next week - and then they finally made the announcement. 

Very interesting times!

This thing is going asymptotic and we really have to act now or we will lose millions in the USA alone.

THE ADDITIONAL WAVES

This is interesting and may explain the viral waves talked about in multiple different prophecies:

Morning all.
Ive got some thoughts.
You all know that (like many viruses) corona hates warmth and sunlight?  80F ambient will kill it. So will sunshine.
To be clear 80F ambient and sunshine will NOT cure you if you’ve got it, but it does kill the virus outside the host.
Warm weather ends this problem (eventually). If you’re in a warm climate or you’ve got a heat wave things will improve. Summer is near for most of us. It’s called flu “season” when it’s cold.

I wonder if simply turning the thermostat up in the workplace/public space could greatly reduce transmission? If someone that’s infected sneezes in your face the virus will likely still transmit, but it won’t linger in the air or on surfaces.
An 80F environment is certainly tolerable.
When warm weather comes maybe keeping the AC off for a few weeks could also help speed the viruses demise?


AVRAHAM, THE PLAGUE AND VOG

This is some great info that I have been curious about regarding this virus:

From Spencer's interview with John Pontius...

"Now also at that time, there was a horrible viral and bacterial illness that swept through the entire United States. And it came through in three waves. The first one took out a lot of people. The second one took out even more and the third took out quite a bit. So after those three waves came through and after the horrible earthquake, I would estimate that about 50 percent of the population that now lived in that area were fortunately taken home and we were interacting with them on the other side...I am sorry but that is the reality of what I saw. And it happened quite quickly....These were devastating illnesses. You could be well in the morning and be dead by three o'clock in the afternoon. These were horribly devastating illnesses that swept across the country. You got lesion like structures in your body and it attacked your respiratory system and would be dead by the evening. And if you survived, it took you a good week to recover...Now remember I was dead and this is what I saw when I was dead." Spencer

Do we think Covid19 is virus 1?


However, this statement from Avraham Gileadi, who is also very familiar with Visions of Glory might help to calm you heart and ease your mind.

Many people may be asking themselves if the current coronavirus pandemic is that “overflowing scourge” and “desolating sickness” that are predicted to overtake the world as a precursor to the coming of Jesus Christ to reign on the earth. Although such a scourge is predicted to be “poured out from time to time” until the Lord’s coming, we are not yet in the “Day of Jehovah” the prophets have predicted, when God’s judgments come upon the world in full and “little of mankind remains.” (See Isaiah 24:5–6; Doctrine & Covenants 5:19; 45:30–33.)

As to all appearances, however, we seem to have entered the prophesied Time of Trouble that precedes the Day of Jehovah (Jeremiah 30:7), each consisting of three and a half years. Not only, therefore, is the coronavirus running its course, locust plagues too are desolating large areas of the Middle East, Africa, and Russia, while floods, earthquakes, droughts, fires, tornadoes, and pestilences are multiplying. As the prophets point out, it is the collective wickedness of God’s own people and the nations that are the source and the first domino may have fallen.

Isaiah laments a root cause: “The earth lies polluted under its inhabitants: they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinances, and set at nought the ancient covenant. The curse devours the earth, for those who dwell on it have incurred guilt” (Isaiah 24:5–6). Addressing the people of Ephraim and their reliance on the arm of flesh, Isaiah says, “Your Covenant with Death shall prove void, your understanding with Sheol have no effect: when the flooding scourge sweeps through, you shall be overrun by it. . . . It shall cause terror merely to hear word of it” (Isaiah 28:18–19).

Please join us March 28th for our live online Lecture and Colloquium 3! We will we discuss the current pandemic and many scriptures relating to Isaiah’s and the Book of Mormon’s endtime scenario and the things the scriptures prophesy that will guide us safely through these times.

We are going to read the referenced scrips for family study today.

My wife is thinking of paying for this conference on the 28th.  It will be an epic event.  We are living in unprecedented times (other than ‘56 and ‘18) with the previous pandemics.

I still maintain Trump has it but will not die at this point.  This nation needs him.  They would never release the news even if he did.  There would be utter panic.... and rejoicing.

THE START OF THE TRIBULATIONS??

Interesting stuff about the timing of all these things that are happening including the causing of the sacrifice to cease:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Klg4aj7C5vk&feature=youtu.be

Remember that this already did happen exactly seven years ago when the sacrifice was ceased in 2013 when Obama (obamanation desolation, a gay man) ascended temple mount in Jerusalem and subsequently, the Samaritans cut the sacrifice for the first time in thousands of years.

BREAKING NEWS: TEMPLES ARE CLOSING UP HERE IN A BIT

Sounds like the gig is up on proxy ordinances in the Temple (just live ordinances for now).

Starting today.  Expect a mad rush tonight and tomorrow....

I knew this was coming.  It only makes sense with the demographic of the temple workers.

Not a good time/place to be spreading disease.
