The glory of God is intelligence, or, in other words, light and truth

"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you."

(New Testament John 16:13 - 15)

They Thought They Were Free

Hysterical
Sion, August 30, 2011

THEY CAME FIRST HYTERICAL

We are living in historical and prodigious times. Many of us can see and hear that the current King of JerUSAlem is a truly hysterical entity. Let him or her who has eyes or who is quick to observe look and understand.



Hear ye, oh Israel. I am not a renowned mathematician, statistician or the even profess to be the son of a prophet, but I know the truth, which is the knowledge o things as they are, as they have been and as they are to come. And under this authority, if my memory does not fail me, it is my belief that we are living in historical and prodigious times. We have seen and heard that since the inception of JerUSAlem, no other king of this great nation of ours has been more successful and sinister in his Craft of Common Change than the Current King Pin.



Who can deny that under King Laban’s administration we have had a hysterical non national JerUSAlem kingship? Not only that, but also hysterical debauchery and moral decline in our country; hysterical monarchical protests; hysterical grand bailouts; hysterical legal tender printing, hysterical peace prize winnings; hysterical employment loses; hysterical unemployment claims; hysterical home foreclosures; hysterical governmental deficits; hysterical national debts; hysterical alien deportations, hysterical credit rating down grading; hysterical deceitful addresses; hysterical secrecy in government; hysterical scams; hysterical marriages and wedding invitations; hysterical terrorist assassinations; hysterical vacations; hysterical wars and therefore hysterical decrease of peace on earth; hysterical hatred towards America; hysterical abortions; hysterical idolatry, adultery and homosexuality trends; hysterical political deceptions; hysterical political unrest; hysterical want for peace; hysterical corporatism, hysterical military complex; hysterical war racketeering; hysterical fuel increases; hysterical pollution; hysterical global warming and therefore; hysterical natural disasters and catastrophes, etc. It undoubtedly appears that all things are in hysterical commotion against this once holy country of ours.



Please remember that the time line of history is not lineal but cyclical. And I may be half assertive in my historical remembrances and claims, but wishing I were only half assertive, unless the people of JerUSAlem does something about it to stop the monopoly of historic trends that are leading JerUSAlem to oblivion, we and JerUSAlem are going hysterically on the road to perdition and thus, as other civilizations before us like the Jaredites and the Nephites, in these or those northern lands, we are in line time and again to make hysterical ancient history.



Therefore, not leaving the empathetic pseudo-epiphanies aside, by the historical moral agency, moral courage and moral intellect that I still have and the historical freedom that we still enjoy in JerUSAlem, I am but constrained to exercise my guaranteed first amendment rights under the JerUSAlem constitution all at once. These rights are the guaranteed historical freedom of free press, the guaranteed historical freedom of speech, the guaranteed historical the freedom of religion and the guaranteed historical freedom of peaceful protest or the guaranteed historical freedom of peaceful assembly among others. And this monograph is my medium. Because unless I do this today, when they decide to come for me, there will not be any one left to speak in my behalf. This certainly makes me remember the word of Martin Niemoller who may have said:



First they came for the communists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.
And I cannot stress it long and strong enough that decisions determine destiny. One wise man that I honor and respect once said this to me: that, we cannot make eternal decisions without eternal consequences. That we cannot be right by doing wrong and that we can’t be wrong by doing what is right. And I speak as a free man, and I know that is right to desire and to defend everlasting freedom and liberty because the spirit of God is the spirit o liberty. And even before the creation of the world we have been endowed with Moral agency, which is the freedom to choose good and life or evil and death. Please see Deuteronomy 28-30. Before and after, here is the law and the testimony.








Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.



(New Testament 2 Corinthians 3:17)


And this land shall be a land of liberty unto the Gentiles, and there shall be no kings upon the land, who shall raise up unto the Gentiles. And I will fortify this land against all other nations. And he that fighteth against Zion shall perish, saith God. For he that raiseth up a king against me shall perish, for I, the Lord, the king of heaven, will be their king, and I will be a light unto them forever, that hear my words.



(Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 10:11 - 14)




Therefore, come unto me speedily with a few of your men, and leave the remainder in the charge of Lehi and Teancum; give unto them power to conduct the war in that part of the land, according to the Spirit of God, which is also the spirit of freedom which is in them.



(Book of Mormon Alma 61:15)


I cannot speak for no one else, but common sense indicates that we will be happier under heaven with a historical JerUSAlem King than with a historical nation, don’t you all agree? Historical scriptures do make manifest that it is better than a man becomes historically famous of infamous, than a whole nation is wasted in apocalyptic and desolating turmoil.



I am just a historical lover of freedom who stands fast in the freedom in which we have been made free. I am also utilizing my historical common sense. Therefore, like Lucifer was cast out from heaven, without fear of reprisal, I will be the first to vote or cast away or to impeach the historical King ping of JerUSAlem because I do no want my memory of God, my country, my family, my freedom and liberty and my friends to become ancient history.



And it came to pass that I was constrained by the Spirit that I should kill Laban; but I said in my heart: Never at any time have I shed the blood of man. And I shrunk and would that I might not slay him. And the Spirit said unto me again: Behold the Lord hath delivered him into thy hands. Yea, and I also knew that he had sought to take away mine own life; yea, and he would not hearken unto the commandments of the Lord; and he also had taken away our property.



And it came to pass that the Spirit said unto me again: Slay him, for the Lord hath delivered him into thy hands; Behold the Lord slayeth the wicked to bring forth his righteous purposes. It is better that one man should perish than that a nation should dwindle and perish in unbelief. And now, when I, Nephi, had heard these words, I remembered the words of the Lord which he spake unto me in the wilderness, saying that: Inasmuch as thy seed shall keep my commandments, they shall prosper in the land of promise. Yea, and I also thought that they could not keep the commandments of the Lord according to the law of Moses, save they should have the law. And I also knew that the law was engraven upon the plates of brass. And again, I knew that the Lord had delivered Laban into my hands for this cause—that I might obtain the records according to his commandments. Therefore I did obey the voice of the Spirit, and took Laban by the hair of the head, and I smote off his head with his own sword.



(Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 4:10 - 18)



For this I know without a shadow of a doubt that my cause is right. Therefore as historical Joshua once said to his own people, I say it unto you.



And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.



(Old Testament Joshua 24:15)


All these things, I humbly say for the amelioration of posterity in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Mormons Don’t Stone Their Prophets



FROM THE DISCUSION:

Sacred Cow #8: Mormons Don’t Stone Their Prophets by Ezra Taylor and Bryan Mecham.

My responses are written separately in this blog because being guilty by their own admission, I, with the gift and power of God proved their point and they are ashamed to take upon them the name of Christ or to post my prophetic comments or insights. Their tactic is is a common and filthy strategy of inbred swine or filthy souls. With itching ears, they are eager to learn and pile up to themselves teachers, but fail to observe what they say or never come to the knowledge of the truth.

YOU DO NOT SEE ME LAUGHING DO YOU? Think Again and again:


http://www.mormonchronicle.com/

SACRED COW: MORMONS DO NOT STONE THEIR PROPHETS


What is a sacred cow? My definition is anything that is believed based only on tradition, and has little to zero basis on actual fact. These beliefs are held so strongly that the “worshiper” declares “blasphemy!” to anyone that challenges said belief.


Sacred Cow #8: Mormons Don’t Stone Their Prophets

In a previous post, a commenter suggested the title of this article. At the time I thought it was a humorous comment, but didn’t really give it a second thought. However, in my daily studies I kept coming across things that really showed it to be true, that in fact, we do stone our prophets.

I admit not the literal sense. In Old Testament days, prophets could be stoned without legal consequences. Today we must stone them in much more subtle ways. Instead of physically stoning them, we pretend to support “modern revelation” and sit atop our proverbial Rameumptom so thankful that we are not “led away after the foolish traditions of our brethren” and oh so grateful that we are a “chosen and holy people” (Alma 31:17–18)

Like the Zoramites, we don’t need to kill the prophets; we just ignore them and change what they teach. The Zoramites did this and claimed they were taught that there was no Christ.

Joseph Fielding Smith said,

“It has become unpopular to preach the unadulterated gospel in the stakes of Zion.” –Life of Joseph Fielding Smith, Joseph Fielding Smith & John J. Stewart, Deseret Book 1972, page 211

Joseph Fielding Smith further explained that it is those of us that consider ourselves to be Latter-day Saints that are the ones following in the steps of the Zoramites when he wrote,

“Are we not too much inclined to blame the generations that are past for the breaking of the new and e everlasting covenant, and to think it is because of the great apostasy which followed the ministry of the Apostles in primitive times, that these troubles are coming upon the earth? Perhaps we should wake up to the realization that it is because of the breaking of covenants, especially the new and everlasting covenant, which is the fullness of the Gospel as it has been revealed , that the world is to be consumed by fire and few men left. Since this punishment is to come at the time of the cleansing of the earth when Christ comes again, should not Latter-day Saints take heed unto themselves? We have been given the new and everlasting covenant and many among us have broken it, and many are now breaking it; therefore all who are guilty of this offense will aid in bringing to pass this destruction in which they will find themselves swept from the earth when the great and dreadful day of the Lord shall come.” Joseph Fielding Smith, Deseret News, Church Department, Oct 17, 1936, page 7




RESPONSE:

Sion, August 24, 2011

Things have not changed that much from ancient times, just that the wicked have found ways to reject, stone, cast away and murder the prophets legally. Prophets are stoned today pretty much the very same way and things are getting much worst by the hour. I am both a witness and a living proof of it.


It is very easy for any so called faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ, including the founders of this site, in their sacred cow idolatry to give prompt heed to the voice of the apostles and prophets of the church of Jesus Christ, which is a virtue worth commending. But if one true apostle or prophet of JESUS CHRIST, obscure, and unlearned, like Samuel the Lamanite springs up out of nowhere; or from the mist of our congregation; or outside doctrinal standards, crying repentance mightily unto them with the powers of Elias or Elijah, I solemnly prophesy in the name of Christ, that he will be counted with the infirm and with the transgressors.


Then, the local and stake priesthood leaders will say that he is derailed or that he has an evil spirit. Then, they will give to the prophet new or particular commandments to keep him silenced. They will deny him to partake of the love of Christ and forbid him to speak to the congregation. His civil liberties or inalienable rights will be violated. He will be cast out from among them, and his words will be rejected and they will say that they are rubbish or that they are of no worth. By cohesion, he will be taken against his will to psychiatric hospitals or cast into pits among wild beasts where his life may be endangered. He will be incarcerated and forgotten based on false witness or evil reports against him. He will be poisoned with deadly substances or psychotropic medications; and his precious blood will be shed time and again against his or her will thinking that he is under the influence of illegal substances. And if by the grace and mercy of God, the prophet escapes death for a little season, he will be persecuted; his post in the church will be taken away from him without a proper judgment or valid reason; and it will be given to a puppet or do-mi-ciled priest of the establishment. With their lips, they will tell the prophet that they love him, yet in their meetings, he will no longer be counted worthy or open to counsel.


And because the prophet will have confounded them in their own schemes by the word of God, they will be angry at him and not know what to think of him. And after they have destroyed for many years his reputation and character more than any man, then they will conspire to have him being mentally re-examined to further restrain him with medication if it is that he wants to remain among them. If he does not submit, they will threaten to call on him the department of children and families to intervene based on an assumption of potential violence when in effect there is no violence in him. And if he is then, by cross examination; yea, if he is found not crazy, by stratagem or priestcraft, they will attempt to strip him from his priesthood authority or to excommunicate him from the church and say that he is an apostate of the church for believing too much and by his works of faith or by exceeding their righteousness, or by giving strict heed to the council of the true leaders of the church.


Because it is written that a prophet is not accepted in his own house and among his own people. And with very rare exceptions, it is not possible that a prophet dies outside JerUSAlem or out of the Holy City. To say otherwise will be to override the words of the living Christ.


Nevertheless, you all must know this, that after the prophet has time and again sealed the law and the testimony, the sermons of heaven do speedily follow and the incredulous and wicked can only say that the God of nature suffers.


Therefore, if those modern apostles and prophets of the church who is called after the name of Christ, whom we hold dear today have not gone thru a few of these ordeals and can attest to it with living proof as I and the ancient prophets have made manifest, they still have a long way to go in order to be given the honor of the Kingdom of heaven. It is so because these things or perils are the heritage of the righteous.


And if by any chance they say or have said that God has changed or that in these latter days God does not communicate his will as he did anciently by saying: “Thus saith the LORD,” their God is not the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who I and the true prophets also worship. By the spirit which is in me, I solemnly testify of the existence of God, of the divinity of Jesus Christ and of the truth of all things. As you see, I myself am not one centimeter behind the chiefest of the apostles in words and in deeds. And if prophet or priesthood holder that says that he does not know what is in the future, he is a dead prophet or teacher, who only knows about God, but has not come close enough to know him personally. And who can deny it? Because the testimony of Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophecy and where there is no vision, the people perish.


Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
(Old Testament Proverbs 29:18)


Now I must conclude my brethren with the words of Amos. To him that is quick to observe or to him who has eyes, let him understand.

Can two walk together, except they be agreed? Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing? Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all? Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not known it? Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.



(Old Testament Amos 3:3 - 7)



The Lion has roared, who will not fear, the Lord has spoken, who can but prophesy?

These things I say humbly and firmly as one having authority in the holy name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

I, like all under heaven who have come short of the Glory of God, may lack moral authority, but unlike them that preach and not practice, after exquisit repentance, I have attained the moral courage and the moral intellect; and have proven by words and by deeds to be valiant for the truth. And I now show to them and to the world any way they like or dislike my very own face.

The Spirit of GOD is the Spirit of LIBERTY

Zion August 3, 2011



Remember us, but above all remember that the spirit of GOD is the spirit of LIBERTY . For behold it is written:







Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.



(New Testament 2 Corinthians 3:17)




REMEMBER WHAT MEMORIAL DAY IS ALL ABOUT









REMEMBER RAMEAMPTUM



There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the biggest reason America is in the mess that it’s in today is directly due to the apathy and indifference of the American pulpit……



REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENNED WHEN THE SALT LOST ITS FLAVOR




 
REMEMBER THE RAISE AND FALL OF ALL THE ANCIENT WORLD EMPIRES









BUT ABOVE ALL REMEMBER THE VOICES THAT SPEAK TO US FROM THE DUST





And except ye grant mine epistle, and come out and show unto me a true spirit of freedom, and strive to strengthen and fortify our armies, and grant unto them food for their support, behold I will leave a part of my freemen to maintain this part of our land, and I will leave the strength and the blessings of God upon them, that none other power can operate against them— And this because of their exceeding faith, and their patience in their tribulations—



And I will come unto you, and if there be any among you that has a desire for freedom, yea, if there be even a spark of freedom remaining, behold I will stir up insurrections among you, even until those who have desires to usurp power and authority shall become extinct.



Yea, behold I do not fear your power nor your authority, but it is my God whom I fear; and it is according to his commandments that I do take my sword to defend the cause of my country, and it is because of your iniquity that we have suffered so much loss.



Behold it is time, yea, the time is now at hand, that except ye do bestir yourselves in the defence of your country and your little ones, the sword of justice doth hang over you; yea, and it shall fall upon you and visit you even to your utter destruction.



Behold, I wait for assistance from you; and, except ye do administer unto our relief, behold, I come unto you, even in the land of Zarahemla, and smite you with the sword, insomuch that ye can have no more power to impede the progress of this people in the cause of our freedom.



For behold, the Lord will not suffer that ye shall live and wax strong in your iniquities to destroy his righteous people.



Behold, can you suppose that the Lord will spare you and come out in judgment against the Lamanites, when it is the tradition of their fathers that has caused their hatred, yea, and it has been redoubled by those who have dissented from us, while your iniquity is for the cause of your love of glory and the vain things of the world?



Ye know that ye do transgress the laws of God, and ye do know that ye do trample them under your feet. Behold, the Lord saith unto me: If those whom ye have appointed your governors do not repent of their sins and iniquities, ye shall go up to battle against them. And now behold, I, Moroni, am constrained, according to the covenant which I have made to keep the commandments of my God; therefore I would that ye should adhere to the word of God, and send speedily unto me of your provisions and of your men, and also to Helaman.



And behold, if ye will not do this I come unto you speedily; for behold, God will not suffer that we should perish with hunger; therefore he will give unto us of your food, even if it must be by the sword. Now see that ye fulfil the word of God. Behold, I am Moroni , your chief captain. I seek not for power, but to pull it down. I seek not for honor of the world, but for the glory of my God, and the freedom and welfare of my country. And thus I close mine epistle.



(Book of Mormon Alma 60:25 - 36)



Therefore, my beloved brother, Moroni, let us resist evil, and whatsoever evil we cannot resist with our words, yea, such as rebellions and dissensions, let us resist them with our swords, that we may retain our freedom, that we may rejoice in the great privilege of our church, and in the cause of our Redeemer and our God.



Therefore, come unto me speedily with a few of your men, and leave the remainder in the charge of Lehi and Teancum; give unto them power to conduct the war in that part of the land, according to the Spirit of God, which is also the spirit of freedom which is in them.



Behold I have sent a few provisions unto them, that they may not perish until ye can come unto me. Gather together whatsoever force ye can upon your march hither, and we will go speedily against those dissenters, in the strength of our God according to the faith which is in us. And we will take possession of the city of Zarahemla , that we may obtain more food to send forth unto Lehi and Teancum; yea, we will go forth against them in the strength of the Lord, and we will put an end to this great iniquity.



And now, Moroni , I do joy in receiving your epistle, for I was somewhat worried concerning what we should do, whether it should be just in us to go against our brethren. But ye have said, except they repent the Lord hath commanded you that ye should go against them.



See that ye strengthen Lehi and Teancum in the Lord; tell them to fear not, for God will deliver them, yea, and also all those who stand fast in that liberty wherewith God hath made them free. And now I close mine epistle to my beloved brother, Moroni .



(Book of Mormon Alma 61:14 - 21)



For he had been forth among the people who were in the land northward and did preach the word of God unto them, and did prophesy many things unto them; And they did reject all his words, insomuch that he could not stay among them, but returned again unto the land of his nativity.



And seeing the people in a state of such awful wickedness, and those Gadianton robbers filling the judgment–seats—having usurped the power and authority of the land; laying aside the commandments of God, and not in the least aright before him; doing no justice unto the children of men; Condemning the righteous because of their righteousness; letting the guilty and the wicked go unpunished because of their money; and moreover to be held in office at the head of government, to rule and do according to their wills, that they might get gain and glory of the world, and, moreover, that they might the more easily commit adultery, and steal, and kill, and do according to their own wills—



Now this great iniquity had come upon the Nephites, in the space of not many years; and when Nephi saw it, his heart was swollen with sorrow within his breast; and he did exclaim in the agony of his soul:



Oh, that I could have had my days in the days when my father Nephi first came out of the land of Jerusalem, that I could have joyed with him in the promised land; then were his people easy to be entreated, firm to keep the commandments of God, and slow to be led to do iniquity; and they were quick to hearken unto the words of the Lord— Yea, if my days could have been in those days, then would my soul have had joy in the righteousness of my brethren. But behold, I am consigned that these are my days, and that my soul shall be filled with sorrow because of this the wickedness of my brethren.



(Book of Mormon Helaman 7:2 - 9)



As it was then, it is now, even as you have thus read and seen. God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. And he communicates his will to us in our day the same way the things that he communicated to the ancient, by the spirit of prophecy and by the spirit of revelation, so that they would not become extinct. Yet, they listened not to them who were sent. Now they, the dead who once roamed these northern lands do speak unto to us like voices from the dust.



Not many days ago, even the last time I went to the Holy Temple of our GOD in the nations Capital, I saw in a picture for the first time, George Washington and also all the federalists that were with him in front of the prophet who was dressed in white who attended their ordinances of salvation. As I gazed upon the picture, I marveled at the scene, that the temples of our GOD are often visited by ministering spirits. And the spirit of the General Washington came upon me as if he had a message for me to deliver by the power of the Holy Ghost. For it is written that there shall come out of Sión the deliverer. Therefore this is why even today I will deliver this one last message to you for the benefit of posterity. For It is written:



THE Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.



And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations. And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers. But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.



For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.



For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them. And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed.



I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.



(Old Testament Isaiah 61:1 - 11)



These things I say not of myself but as the LORD has said he will also fulfill. I testify that these are the words of God and I lie not. And I leave them with you to ponder about and to cast out from among you in the name of the LORD that stupor of mind that is restrain you to take assertive action in defense of the things that matter most. I know that you think I am mad and beyond repair. Yet I’d rather be a delusional mad man, even the maddest of all prophets, than a realist whose vision is shallow as the ground upon which they stand. And even though I have been time and again rejected by you due to my infirmities, I do still have a fine mind and fine body to serve the LORD as much as my strength and abilities do permit me. Because when I am weak, then I am strong because the spirit of the LORD rests upon me. And in weaknesses, the LORD makes his strength perfect. For he said unto me:



My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing. Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.



(New Testament 2 Corinthians 12:9 - 12)





I glory in plainness; I glory in truth; I glory in my Jesus, for he hath redeemed my soul from hell. I have charity for my people, and great faith in Christ that I shall meet many souls spotless at his judgment–seat.



I have charity for the Jew—I say Jew, because I mean them from whence I came. I also have charity for the Gentiles. But behold, for none of these can I hope except they shall be reconciled unto Christ, and enter into the narrow gate, and walk in the strait path which leads to life, and continue in the path until the end of the day of probation.



And now, my beloved brethren, and also Jew, and all ye ends of the earth, hearken unto these words and believe in Christ; and if ye believe not in these words believe in Christ. And if ye shall believe in Christ ye will believe in these words, for they are the words of Christ, and he hath given them unto me; and they teach all men that they should do good. And if they are not the words of Christ, judge ye—for Christ will show unto you, with power and great glory, that they are his words, at the last day; and you and I shall stand face to face before his bar; and ye shall know that I have been commanded of him to write these things, notwithstanding my weakness.



And I pray the Father in the name of Christ that many of us, if not all, may be saved in his kingdom at that great and last day. And now, my beloved brethren, all those who are of the house of Israel, and all ye ends of the earth, I speak unto you as the voice of one crying from the dust: Farewell until that great day shall come. And you that will not partake of the goodness of God, and respect the words of the Jews, and also my words, and the words which shall proceed forth out of the mouth of the Lamb of God, behold, I bid you an everlasting farewell, for these words shall condemn you at the last day. For what I seal on earth, shall be brought against you at the judgment bar; for thus hath the Lord commanded me, and I must obey. Amen.



(Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 33:6 - 15)





These things I say and leave as a testament that Michael was here; and I do it humbly, honorably kindly and attentively sealing these words as the Lord’s clerk in the Holy Name of my GOD and father in heaven, even in the LORD Jesus Christ, Amen.
