Broken Scriptures

It is written, "if it aint broke, don't fix it..."

 

But if it is....???

 

What's broke?

Jhn 10:34-37 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.


Where and when doth the dang thing broke?


THE BOOK OF HELAMAN

CHAPTER 8
Corrupt judges seek to incite the people against Nephi—Abraham, Moses, Zenos, Zenock, Ezias, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lehi, and Nephi all testified of Christ—By inspiration Nephi announces the murder of the chief judge. [Between 23 and 20 B.C.]

1 AND now it came to pass that when Nephi had said these words, behold, there were men who were judges, who also belonged to the secret band of Gadianton, and they were angry, and they cried out against him, saying unto the people: Why do ye not seize upon this man and bring him forth, that he may be condemned according to the crime which he has done?
Why seest thou this man, and hearest him revile against this people and against our law?
For behold, Nephi had spoken unto them concerning the corruptness of their law; yea, many things did Nephi speak which cannot be written; and nothing did he speak which was contrary to the commandments of God.
And those judges were angry with him because he spake plainly unto them concerning their secret works of darkness; nevertheless, they durst not lay their own hands upon him, for they feared the people lest they should cry out against them.
Therefore they did cry unto the people, saying: Why do you suffer this man to revile against us? For behold he doth condemn all this people, even unto destruction; yea, and also that these our great cities shall be taken from us, that we shall have no place in them.
And now we know that this is impossible, for behold, we are powerful, and our cities great, therefore our enemies can have no power over us.
And it came to pass that thus they did stir up the people to anger against Nephi, and raised contentions among them; for there were some who did cry out: Let this man alone, for he is a good man, and those things which he saith will surely come to pass except we repent;
Yea, behold, all the judgments will come upon us which he has testified unto us; for we know that he has testified aright unto us concerning our iniquities. And behold they are many, and he knoweth as well all things which shall befall us as he knoweth of our iniquities;
Yea, and behold, if he had not been a prophet he could not have testified concerning those things.
And it came to pass that those people who sought to destroy Nephi were compelled because of their fear, that they did not lay their hands on him; therefore he began again to speak unto them, seeing that he had gained favor in the eyes of some, insomuch that the remainder of them did fear.
Therefore he was constrained to speak more unto them saying: Behold, my brethren, have ye not read that God gave power unto one man, even Moses, to smite upon the waters of the Red Sea, and they parted hither and thither, insomuch that the Israelites, who were our fathers, came through upon dry ground, and the waters closed upon the armies of the Egyptians and swallowed them up?
And now behold, if God gave unto this man such power, then why should ye dispute among yourselves, and say that he hath given unto me no power whereby I may know concerning the judgments that shall come upon you except ye repent?
But, behold, ye not only deny my words, but ye also deny all the words which have been spoken by our fathers, and also the words which were spoken by this man, Moses, who had such great power given unto him, yea, the words which he hath spoken concerning the coming of the Messiah.
Yea, did he not bear record that the Son of God should come? And as he lifted up the brazen serpent in the wilderness, even so shall he be lifted up who should come.
And as many as should look upon that serpent should live, even so as many as should look upon the Son of God with faith, having a contrite spirit, might live, even unto that life which is eternal.
And now behold, Moses did not only testify of these things, but also all the holy prophets, from his days even to the days of Abraham.
Yea, and behold, Abraham saw of his coming, and was filled with gladness and did rejoice.
Yea, and behold I say unto you, that Abraham not only knew of these things, but there were many before the days of Abraham who were called by the order of God; yea, even after the order of his Son; and this that it should be shown unto the people, a great many thousand years before his coming, that even redemption should come unto them.
And now I would that ye should know, that even since the days of Abraham there have been many prophets that have testified these things; yea, behold, the prophet Zenos did testify boldly; for the which he was slain.
And behold, also Zenock, and also Ezias, and also Isaiah, and Jeremiah, (Jeremiah being that same prophet who testified of the destruction of Jerusalem) and now we know that Jerusalem was destroyed according to the words of Jeremiah. O then why not the Son of God come, according to his prophecy?
And now will you dispute that Jerusalem was destroyed? Will ye say that the sons of Zedekiah were not slain, all except it were Mulek? Yea, and do ye not behold that the seed of Zedekiah are with us, and they were driven out of the land of Jerusalem? But behold, this is not all—
Our father Lehi was driven out of Jerusalem because he testified of these things. Nephi also testified of these things, and also almost all of our fathers, even down to this time; yea, they have testified of the coming of Christ, and have looked forward, and have rejoiced in his day which is to come.
And behold, he is God, and he is with them, and he did manifest himself unto them, that they were redeemed by him; and they gave unto him glory, because of that which is to come.
And now, seeing ye know these things and cannot deny them except ye shall lie, therefore in this ye have sinned, for ye have rejected all these things, notwithstanding so many evidences which ye have received; yea, even ye have received all things, both things in heaven, and all things which are in the earth, as a witness that they are true.
But behold, ye have rejected the truth, and rebelled against your holy God; and even at this time, instead of laying up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where nothing doth corrupt, and where nothing can come which is unclean, ye are heaping up for yourselves wrath against the day of judgment.
Yea, even at this time ye are ripening, because of your murders and your fornication and wickedness, for everlasting destruction; yea, and except ye repent it will come unto you soon.
Yea, behold it is now even at your doors; yea, go ye in unto the judgment-seat, and search; and behold, your judge is murdered, and he lieth in his blood; and he hath been murdered by his brother,who seeketh to sit in the judgment-seat.
And behold, they both belong to your secret band, whose author is Gadianton (a spirit like unto Ronald Reagan) and the evil one who seeketh to destroy the souls of men.

Let us "Gad about it..."

Mat 10:27 What I tell you in darkness, [that] speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, [that] preach ye upon the housetops.


It's Jesus behind enemy lines....

Hab 1:4 Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.

Why and wherefore doth the dang thing broke??? Why hath the Liberty Bell a crack?

The gods broke it...that He might fulfill His own Word.

1Cr 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.

They were allowed to break it.

Jhn 19:11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power [at all] against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.


2Th 2:3-12 Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come], except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth [will let], until he be taken out of the way.
And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
[Even him], whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the loveof the truth, that they might besaved.
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.


Eze 14:9 And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.


Luk 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.



Jhn 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.


Jhn 8:49-51 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.


For as he said...

Jhn 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

 

 

More about Mormons

What Mormons have in the Book of Mormon, is a Work of Angels,demons, men, the Devil and God.
What Joseph Smith, Pharoah, and the Evil One hoped to do with It, was to corrupt It and manipulate It to their own evil, perverted end by mixing Truth with lies and making small, fairly obvious changes to the original Work, and riddling It with error and false prophecy that they knew they would be able to finance in the future....And here we are at the "future." The very Word they have perverted teaches this can't be done. 
In hopes of what??
To confuse the Christ, to make Him look bad, for they are, as Paul rightly said, "the enemies of Christ." The thing that they did not expect, was that the Christ would love them, and accomplish the real Work, anyway. And a fact that not many will understand, is that Paul hated the Lord too. Yet both Paul and Joseph were faithful to a point. The Christ would recognize His own Work in the Book of Mormon and the True Witnesses of Faithful prophets within It. But the immense amount of perversion within the text, might cause Him to deny the Work altogether, because of Its inherent confusion and error which would be Alien to His Spirit.
Joseph's major gaff would be this: He failed to take any pains at all to clarify where the LORD was speaking and where he was speaking, as Paul did. Because, the Christ knows who Joseph is and what his particular gift is, and would recognize what was of Joseph and what was of Him. But, shocker of shockers, Paul erred sometimes too and a lot of his work was also a form of plagarism of the Christ, as is most Scripture and that is why we read, that Jesus spoke with men after his crucifixion and resurrection and explained to them where in the Scriptures, It spoke of Him rightly and what the Scriptures meant...

But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. (1Cr 7:12 KJV)

Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. (Luke 24:25-27 KJV).

Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (John 5:39 KJV).

These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and [that] they had done these things unto him.(Jhn 12:16 KJV)

And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen. (Jhn 21:25 KJV)

And, if you've come this far with me, you may as well, know this:
Jesus Christ is and has always been the Only Testator.

Hbr 9:16-17 For where a testament [is], there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
For a testament [is] of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

Paul did this too, he moved in and ousted the Christ, remember the lad who falls from the balcony during Paul's very long-winded sermon? Yes, the Christ (in Spirit if not Form). But in Paul's case, it was an act of love and justice, just as surely as the Jews delivering Jesus over to be crucified, was an act of love.

What Joseph and his seers and cohorts did, however, was NOT of love, and though may have been for justice, it was theft and hatred and antiChristian.

They meant to get the Christ to deny himself and then condemn him as antichrist. Paul did the same thing once...they were not as clever as Paul, however, and meant to speak against the Real Word, and deny the LORD, Father, Almighty in Heaven. Which Paul never did. Paul knew what he was doing and did it out of love, even though it often hurt the Christ, it was what was best for all.

Nevertheless, the Book of Mormon IS Scripture and exactly what they claim it is, the Stick of Joseph/Ephraim. The Work, is totally misunderstood, because the whole Church treats it as something which already happened instead of what it really is, prophecy of modern day and future America and the World.

Joseph and Co. wrested the Book of Ephraim from true Prophets, who were now dead and turned it into the Book of Mormon. Why, I do not know. Maybe it was revenge? It's taken Judah a long time to set up the neccessary structure of government, etc. to protect the Christ and Christian Liberty, enjoyed to certain extents by even the enemies of Christ, for God is kind to the wicked.

They were definite and obvious glory seekers. It's really a very clever work, and a lot of Truth is in it, and it does contain the fulness of the Gospel.

All men are worthy of Glory in Him. When they seek It of themselves, they are instantly rejected never to be restored to what is rightly theirs.

Christ and God make life difficult for those who are born in a Lie, in a world in which children are too frightened to choose Life and that which is Right and Good. In a world in which everything that they should not partake in is presented as desirable and as their right. And the majority of people are born in a Lie.

Maybe Joseph wanted no more than for the Christ to feel his frustration and that of the world and Church? Those in Christ cannot be condemned! How frustrating must this simple fact be to those who can be or are simply because God exists.

It makes some people mean spirited.

It's a marvelous plot, but not a marvelous work and wonder. They wished and endeavored to turn the real Servant of God into a liar again and again and who knows how many times they have succeeded since the Kingdom of God can and will go in circles, but who suffers? Everyone, and for these few men and the idols and demons they serve, the world suffers.

In Alma 30 there is a man named Korihor who I believe is the actual Servant of God, but the priesthood at that time is successful in convincing him that he is the antichrist and that there is no God. He goes blind and deaf as a result and the priesthood claims it is the just judgment of God for him being the antichrist but I think it was actually God fulfilling Real Scripture and false witness condemning that fulfillment and manipulating it into obscurity and defamation. It fufills, Isa 42:19 Who [is] blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger [that] I sent? who [is] blind as [he that is] perfect, and blind as the LORD'S servant?

The devil is proclaiming just judgment upon an innocent servant when God is fulfilling His Word. It's very clever, yet the devil is obligated to care for the servant after condemning him? It would not be so had the judgment been of God. The man is sentenced to go about as a vagabond begging assistance from those who are supposedly God's people. And, behold! that is what the devil desires, that he might trick the Lord's people into believing in him and have them at his mercy, that he might provide for them instead of God. But this "providence" is not of God but of evil.To eventually turn the Lord's people into vagabonds again, like unto himself, with no realFaith in the Providence of God.

In the entire chapter, the only witness that is believable and just is the witness of the condemned man, but it is obvious he does not realize who he is. His entire witness is Scriptural in its foundation. He's just fishing for the Truth and the priesthood is keeping it from him in order to betray all. He's trying to help and assist and they are luring to condemn.

Another example is of some men called "kingmen" condemned of the Church or government of the land when in fact these are the very chosen and tried and tested warriors of the LORD. They wished to enthrone a king, perhaps the King of kings, but the "chief judge" wanted to protect the established government and "freedom" of the people.

The real Work within the Book of Mormon that is near impossible to extract now is the Work of the tribe of Ephraim, who were seeing modern day America during Ancient day America. The cities they describe are those which exist today by different names, it is a mystical Work. Mormons do not want even their own to know the origin of their Scripture because they plan to use it to fulfill man and the devils' will rather than God's.

Joseph lied, stole, cheated and served two master's in an effort to screw up God's Work and defy His Providential care for His people, because Joseph wanted and had every right to want but failed the test of endurance, even when he had all he ever needed within himself, he lusted...

In the Book of Moses it infers that Methuselah "took glory unto himself." I guess for living so many years, he could not have known his own name?

And then in the Book of Abraham they claim openly that there is more than one God of Creation.

The Truth is with the Real Jews.

Shma Israel, Adonai eloheynu, Adonia Echad. Baruch Shem kevod malchooto leolam vaed.

Deu 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God [is] one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

Isa 42:8 I [am] the LORD: that [is] my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

Isa 48:11 For mine own sake, [even] for mine own sake, will I do [it]: for how should [my name] be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.

Thus, the greatest victims of Mormonism and the misrepresentation of the Book of Ephraim are Mormons themselves. It creates anomosity and can be the most hateful religion ever manufactured if the deception go unmarked and untreated.

1Cr 11:17-19 Now in this that I declare [unto you] I praise [you] not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.

For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

Of course Paul says this immediately after teaching an heretical error himself about men and short hair, when His Word already taught that He marked His Priests with long hair and never a bald or short haired man, but it is nonetheless true. Paul was always missing the mark in his opinions but hitting it with the Spirit.

Paul had many issues, like the fact that he may have been a closet homosexual/bestial, and that is why he knew so much about those evils...I think the reason he said that he didn't approve of men with long hair was that he himself was tempted by the beauty of man. He also testified against the effeminate but if anyone ever seemed "effeminate," it was Jesus Christ. But Jesus Christ and the Spirit of the Living God hate homosexuality and all such abominations and that is what Paul was trying to warn against, while he fought off the temptation himself, I believe. And it's also why Jesus chose Paul/Saul. Who better to witness to the Truth and turn the wicked man from his sins than a repentant Chief of Sinners? Paul knew the battle from the battlefield and men could relate to that, when they couldn't relate to the angelic quality of the Christ.

Leviticus 21:10 The high priest, the one among his brothers who has had the anointing oil poured on his head and who has been ordained to wear the priestly garments, must not let his hair become unkempt or tear his clothes.

Or maybe Paul was trying to assist the Lord by revealing a possible snare, namely, Vanity, and help build His True Self up and assist the Righteous in better knowing their Lord, help them see why this Word would be fulfilled...

Hab 2:4 Behold, his soul [which] is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

At any rate, I feel a more important point would have been the need for beards.

1Ch 19:5 Then there went [certain], and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and [then] return.

This is what Paul was trying to say, I hope. Eschew vanity.

Everyone in the History of Christ has been guilty of a little glory seeking at least, some Jews, who aren't the Chosen are fond of attributing Solomon's Word to Moses in the Midrash, which I doubt but it may be true... But all are guilty of glory seeking except the Christ, who has it bestowed upon him by none other than the Father. He just sits back and receives It, which I think angers others. It's like a Holy Child being watched over and encouraged by God Himself, no one can deny it nor detract from it without revealing something about themselves and hurting all.

Jhn 8:54-56 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:  
Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw [it], and was glad.

The conclusion of the matter:

Paul's gospel = Love. "Woah! we're all sinners. Crazy, delusional idiots and I'm the worst among us! Let's cut the crap and return to the LORD with the LORD for He will abundantly pardon."

Joseph's Witness = Hate. "I might have sinned a little when I was but a child, but otherwise, I'm more righteous than God Himself. You're all heathen, going to hell if you do not come to me with your money and help me build my kingdom."

Joe's own words:

"Come on! ye prosecutors! ye false swearers! All hell, boil over! Ye burning mountains, roll down your lava! for I will come out on the top at last. I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet. You know my daily walk and conversation. I am in the bosom of a virtuous and good people. How I do love to hear the wolves howl! When they can get rid of me, the devil will also go."

Rev. 20:10

And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet [are], and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

It's John's witness in reverse, He must decrease that we, I can increase.

And this, the world may hear in the Latter-days.

What is born is the imprint of a swastika where the cross is meant to be, in the heart of his servants, and a people the LORD must deny.

Isa 65:5 Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These [are] a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.

 

Yet, fret not, young Josephites, the LORD shall redeem you from the curse of your own hearts.

Zec 10:6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I [am] the LORD their God, and will hear them.

Hsa 14:8-9 Ephraim [shall say], What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard [him], and observed him: I [am] like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found.

Who [is] wise, and he shall understand these [things]? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD [are] right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.

 

 

 

The Final Analysis

Jhn 16:9-11 Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

 

The Final Analysis

Joseph Smith was not and is not and shall never be a "prophet."

The very notion is one of the biggest errors of the LDS Church.

What Joseph Smith was a witness, translator and erring servant of Jesus Christ, himself, Pharoah and the Devil. Having more than two masters, but many.

Mat 24:23-25 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before.

Perhaps Joseph Smith got his hands on some latter-day writings of Christ and mixed this with the Scriptures delivered to him by the angel "Moroni," and using his own mystical gifts and revelations of a group of "seers," wrought the Book of Mormon. The Prophets in the Book of Ephraim were true and the BoM does contain the fullness of the Gospel, but the LDS Church is not true, which is sad because they certainly can be if they choose to admit many errors and false dealings...That would make them men of God.

I don't really need to point out the Church's many errors but just as a case in point they make statues of men and angels and erect them in and on and around the house of God. Such is an open show of rebellion and lawlessness from a Church that claims authority and law to be the foundations of their doctrine.

Nice try fellas, but you have not yet hooked this faithful servant and you wont until you accept Him. The crime is that I really want to believe in the LDS Church and I really do believe that many of them are my brethren and fellow servants of the Most High. I am heart broken. It is sad all around, from the Head to the toe, Priesthood to Missionary, to Church goer, to investigator, everyone is betrayed by a few men who have exalted themselves in the Church's Hallow Halls and History as if they were more important than its Head and God.

A lot of it seems like the work of sons of God trying to work around or somehow oust the Saviour from the picture...Not in the Book of Mormon itself, (in that they try to confuse and manipulate Him) but in the D&C and books of Moses and Abraham and the Joseph Smith Translations, which if he could explain what he meant would be legitimate, but because of the Church's misunderstanding of the entire Book of Mormon, has been turned into something it never was intended by Christ or Joseph Smith.

The Spirit tells me it's influenced by Pharaoh's rule and Cain's brethren, and The Spirit cannot lie.

2Nephi 3:1

AND now I speak unto you, Joseph, my last-born. Thou wast born in the wilderness of mine afflictions; yea, in the days of my greatest sorrow did thy mother bear thee.

Isa 9:15 The ancient and honourable(Christ or Adam), he [is] the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he [is] the tail.(Joseph)

Does Jesus deem Joseph worthy even though he would lie? Does Joseph redeem himself through the patient work of translating of the Book of Mormon? Or further damn?

I do not think Joseph is the Comforter. Yet he is so fruitful and loyal when he can be! Jesus must have loved him. I think he is a supplanter.

But was Joseph Smith actually a criminal who ended his life in jail for his crimes against his family and brethren? Then in a completely different "reality" ala "resurrection," went through the same life using Christ's Work and created a new end to his former life? Something like this happened, and the Spirit testifies to its Truth.

But those who believe Joseph Smith to be a Prophet believe in The False Prophet.

Oy, what a maze....

But Joseph Smith is not nor do I think he ever claimed to be a Prophet. He certainly tried to be and was a very successful Shepherd of some of God's flock.

Nor are any of the Presidents or Priests, etc., of the LDS Church , "prophets." Prophets are men in the Scriptures, not latter-day servants to the Truth. They may be faithful servants to the Truth, but virtually anyone can have a prophetic moment. God uses His Enemies to bring out His Truth in the world.

It's a Comedy of Errors as the Catholics have been fighting the Mormons for ages in one way and form or another, each House vying for the right to misrepresent the Christ. Other denoms really don't stand a chance alone but together as part of a Puritan Reformation could form the Remnant that will correct and form the Bridge whereby the Catholics and the Mormons will find what they need to make peace both with one another and with God and join the actual and effectual Spiritual Body of Christ.(Isa 58:12 And [they that shall be] of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.)

No one has a monopoly on God's Truth nor can anyone claim Priesthood Authority in the Latter-days, unless Christ grants it. Christ never lost His Authority and never took it away from the original twelve and their death did not grant someone, anyone else the right to claim It, but many have to their condemnation.

No one who wants to serve Christ should do so with a heart that wants any acknowledgment for the work done, nor seek glory for himself. Jesus Christ shunned all glory and did not want anyone even telling someone else that he had healed them or restored their being.

Yet, what he did, made it clear, all glory was his and His, and no one else's. And why?

Phl 2:6-11 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth;

And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

The only times he stepped out and said who he was was when confronting the Church and its false dealings with the world...Nothing has changed, the Churches are still the same...

Joseph Smith was/is a Translator of the REAL Prophets of the Book of Mormon who prophesied, anciently of the future/present day Americas, just as the Prophets of the Bible-Old Testament prophesied of Jerusalem and latter-day America and the World, unlike the modern day self-proclaimed "prophets," "scribes" and "pharisees" of the LDS and various other denominations around the globe....For the Prophets of the Book of Mormon truly speak of Jesus in the Spirit, and the Spirit as I said, cannot lie. Church workers, priests and your Mom and Dad can and do lie, but the Spirit of God does not lie and never will, for It is Holy.

The LDS Church (unwittingly?) leads some astray by making a pact with Death and a modern day Pharaoh, which is why order is so almighty important to the Church, but it's the order of a worldly Pharaoh's reign not Christ and God's Holy Order for His Creation and Church within Creation. Pharoah's Order is exemplary and exceedingly praiseworthy because it keeps order in a house that is in constant rebellion and therefore may be why God will choose the LDS Church just as He allows America to police the world...for the heart of the righteous American is not an abomination before God, and He will restore this Nation if She is willing.

Da Problem.

As Prophesied in the Bible(Hsa 4:17 Ephraim [is] joined to idols: let him alone.) Joseph joins with Pharoah and various other idols in the latter-days, probably in a wise move of self preservation and to strengthen what remains, but there is a wiser Way which they are ignoring or too proud to walk in. Because of the Church many feel as if they were betrayed by God, I assume and are unwilling or unable to serve now because of the fact that the Church became a snare rather than a Way. In the end, it is everyone's own fault, for refusing to really come to Christ. the Whore is a hard one to extract yourself from once you've been ensnared. She's unforgiving, spiteful and completely insane, but shares a desperate sort of parasitic love with all of creation.

The worst idol Joseph affirms is money, for you cannot serve God and money unless God actually manufactures the coins, and I've never seen it actually rain pennies from Heaven, though it has rained Manna.

I don't know of a legitimate monetary source on earth today since the States have openly considered removing "In God We Trust" from it's bills and coins, and brought Our Allegiance into question, and all other forms of money in the world are but bastard children of the English Pound and American Dollar. Even considering this is an open handed slap in the face to God. Of course He'll turn the other cheek. No money on earth features a Godly image, and I seem to remember one of a servant upon his knees with something in his hands showing reverence and obeisance for the Almighty during King Solomon's Reign but no other...and at any rate Exodus clearly states we are to have no graven images...nor are we to put our trust in riches, be they paper or gold. Recall that with all the Gold Solomon used to create a House of Worship for God it would still not suit Him, for the Heavens themselves were not magnificent enough for God to dwell in. (1Ki 8:27 But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?) I would think there has not been a legitimate coin produced under heaven since the days of King Solomon, and as a show of our nation's change of heart and will, we ought to abolish all forms of money and bring back and implement that coin in our otherwise filthy hands, made filthy by the handling of our filthy lucre...(1Pe 5:2-4) Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight [thereof], not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords over [God's] heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

It might be wisdom to use that image on our coins and dollars marked for differing values only, as a reminder everyday what our wages are for and why we earn them.

Thus it will no longer be "All about the Benjamins...,"nor "All About Eve." But All For and About God and Our Relationship with Him.

It would be a good way for America to start afresh, ending the tyranny of a bankrupt nation and instantly legitimizing a nation of tired, confused and angry slaves to the most oppressive master imaginable, and the beginning of a road and Way made open to Her people for rest and healing that will eventually lead us to salvation in Christ, starting anew in a brave new world and nation.

Otherwise, it's a case of as I said before, men who have made a pact with Death setting themselves up all over the world as many "Caesars" and "little caesars" and as the government grows increasingly, boldly, and steadily more corrupt and corrupting and more and more unruly as a Beast, straying further and further away from the firm foundation of a Faith in One LORD, Way and Life in Jesus Christ, we'll all be part of nothing more than a vast corrupt web of lies and thuggish justice where no man will possess the rights proffered in this country's Constitution or Bill of Rights unless he whores his will and buys his neighbors' right to freedom, never during the nation's slavery days were any subject to the kind of horrors and injustice that await this nation's next generation if we do not change our ways and quickly and in earnest.

Governing people really depends upon the people's willingness to be governed. So that, if thegovernment permits people to break the Law of God, eventually there will be no one willing to be governed.

I'm sorry, Mr. Reagan, as kind hearted as a man as you could be and knowing you repented of your sins, "voodoo economics" really is akin to witchcraft, and open idolatry and is a lie and was a lawless bit of statesmanship, which does not lead to a "kinder, gentler nation" Daddy Bush, but a land of mean streets, ruled by terrorists within and without that no amount of Curious George Junior posturing, redirection of interest and rhetoric will deliver us from. Clinton did a better job of hiding his lawlessness than Bush and maybe it's because Bush doesn't want to be lawless and this nation is just too much for one administration to hope to fix.

Still one of the most brilliant governments under heaven, but with no real devotion to God is doomed to failure.

And of course, since the dawn of statesmanship and government that has been what they are about, the wicked policing the wicked. But the nation's military and policing forces order must come from Saints, and not rich men with divided interests. For the Just who are led by Faith must not become guilty of a greater sin than that which they wisely permit the enemies of God to commit.

Manifest Worthy Tokens

Mar 12:17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.

 

2Th 1:4-10 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: 
[Which is] a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
Seeing [it is] a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

Mat 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

 

I'm really offended by the ever increasing of apostasy in and of my own country. Patriots are being fooled into wasting their strength when the Chief is working for the Enemy of this Nation and Her people. Bitter stupidity is at work in all the powers that be in this Nation right now and I've just about lost patience for it. The sheer volume of blind, ignorant, militant hatred being focused against all that is right and good about the country is beyond blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, it's completely unredeemable and shall be destroyed in an instant, amen.

I mean to tell my readers just what the Book of Mormon is and why we should hearken unto the words therein within my next few entries, and I'm going to use it to teach my reader a little more about how Scripture works, how we know it is Scripture and how the Spirit of God reveals Itself in ALL things. For now, let it satisfy to say that "Mormons" have no idea what the Scripture they believe in is. They are taught that it is a Work about the past, an age that already occured, but what it really is is a Work of prophecy whose fulfillment is being seen now all over the Nation...

George and his posse are very clever. They play stupid like nobody can and get away with bloody murder because we will them to. So no matter how much George has lied and stolen and cheated, it is our fault, the blame remains squarely upon our shoulders and we must bear the burden. And the chiefest among our duties is to save George.

But knowledge of what is going on and how to deal with it, makes it much easier to bear. Know ye the Scriptures...'tis the work of kings and noblemen to uncover the deeds and manipulations done above and below, and He shares this work and ability with the most simple minded and insignificant of persons, so as to make everyman truely equal in Him.

 

2 Ne. 3: 11

But a seer will I raise up out of the fruit of thy loins; and unto him will I give power to bring forth my word unto the seed of thy loins—and not to the bringing forth my word only, saith the Lord, but to the convincing them of my word, which shall have already gone forth among them.

 

Soon come...

 

 

 

THE BOOK OF HELAMAN

THE PROPHECY OF NEPHI, THE SON OF HELAMAN—God threatens the people of Nephi that he will visit them in his anger, to their utter destruction except they repent of their wickedness. God smiteth the people of Nephi with pestilence; they repent and turn unto him. Samuel, a Lamanite, prophesies unto the Nephites. Comprising chapters 7 to 16 inclusive.

 

CHAPTER 7

Nephi is rejected in the north and returns to Zarahemla—He prays upon his garden tower and then calls upon the people to repent or perish. [Between 23 and 20 B.C.]

1-29 BEHOLD, now it came to pass in the *sixty and ninth year of the reign of the judges over the people of the Nephites, that Nephi, the son of Helaman, returned to the land of Zarahemla from the land northward.

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 beentreated, 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.

And behold, now it came to pass that it was upon a tower, which was in the garden of Nephi, which was by the highway which led to the chief market, which was in the city of Zarahemla; therefore, Nephi had bowed himself upon the tower which was in his garden, which tower was also near unto the garden gate by which led the highway.

And it came to pass that there were certain men passing by and saw Nephi as he was pouring out his soul unto God upon the tower; and they ran and told the people what they had seen, and the people came together in multitudes that they might know the cause of so great mourning for the wickedness of the people.

And now, when Nephi arose he beheld the multitudes of people who had gathered together.

And it came to pass that he opened his mouth and said unto them: Behold, why have ye gathered yourselves together? That I may tell you of your iniquities?

Yea, because I have got upon my tower that I might pour out my soul unto my God, because of the exceeding sorrow of my heart, which is because of your iniquities!

And because of my mourning and lamentation ye have gathered yourselves together, and do marvel; yea, and ye have great need to marvel; yea, ye ought to marvel because ye are given away that the devil has got so great hold upon your hearts.

Yea, how could you have given way to the enticing of him who is seeking to hurl away your souls down to everlasting misery and endless wo?

O repent ye, repent ye! Why will ye die? Turn ye, turn ye unto the Lord your God. Why has he forsaken you?

It is because you have hardened your hearts; yea, ye will not hearken unto the voice of the good shepherd; yea, ye have provoked him to anger against you.

And behold, instead of gathering you, except ye will repent, behold, he shall scatter you forth that ye shall become meat for dogs and wild beasts.

O, how could you have forgotten your God in the very day that he has delivered you?

But behold, it is to get gain, to be praised of men, yea, and that ye might get gold and silver. And ye have set your hearts upon the riches and the vain things of this world, for the which ye do murder, and plunder, and steal, and bear false witness against your neighbor, and do all manner of iniquity.

And for this cause wo shall come unto you except ye shall repent. For if ye will not repent, behold, this great city, and also all those great cities which are round about, which are in the land of our possession, shall be taken away that ye shall have no place in them; for behold, the Lord will not grant unto you strength, as he has hitherto done, to withstand against your enemies.For behold, thus saith the Lord: I will not show unto the wicked of my strength, to one more than the other, save it be unto those who repent of their sins, and hearken unto my words.

Now therefore, I would that ye should behold, my brethren, that it shall be better for the Lamanites than for you except ye shall repent.

For behold, they are more righteous than you, for they have not sinned against that great knowledge which ye have received; therefore the Lord will be merciful unto them; yea, he will lengthen out their days and increase their seed, even when thou shalt be utterly destroyed except thou shalt repent.

Yea, wo be unto you because of that great abomination (Bush Administration) which has come among you; and ye have united yourselves unto it, yea, to that secret band which was established by Gadianton! (Reagan)

Yea, wo shall come unto you because of that pride which ye have suffered to enter your hearts, which has lifted you up beyond that which is good because of your exceedingly great riches!

Yea, wo be unto you because of your wickedness and abominations!

And except ye repent ye shall perish; yea, even your lands shall be taken from you, and ye shall be destroyed from off the face of the earth.

Behold now, I do not say that these things shall be, of myself, because it is not of myself that I know these things; but behold, I know that these things are true because the Lord God has made them known unto me, therefore I testify that they shall be.

Judge Not

God has dealt to each man a measure of faith sufficient for him and his purpose, and I have no more power to gauge or question any one else's than they do mine.

The Jews in Jesus' time judged him for being right and exposing things about them that they thought no one would ever know, and they LITERALLY left him hanging for it. When to admit their inequity and falsehood would have SAVED Israel and the Church and Religion of Judah, they chose in their pride to condemn the One who validated the very Church, Religion and positions they were honored to and more importantly required to hold in God's Name. They condemned God. What happened soon after showed they made the WRONG choice. Yet God used this to do the RIGHT thing for all. They were addicted to their own priesthood/craft and power and rejected the very person who granted them that priesthood and power. They would have done more righteously cleaning toilets and sweeping floors than to hold themselves in such high esteem. I think they were pricked in their hearts by Jesus. Because in some part of themselves, they loved him and they felt betrayed by him. Much like successful televangelists of our age, they had large followings and these people they considered entrusted to their care, rather than God caring for these people, they actually believed without their priesthood, these people would be lost. These followers were leaving them, not necessarily to follow Jesus but because they now knew the Truth. The priests claimed Jesus was the "Lawless One," but the people knew that Salvation was in no one else. At first people felt dumb for falling for these priest's "schtick," and then betrayed, and the church suffered for it. The Word was still valid and the Scripture as sure as it ever was or will be but these men by witnessing falsely did so much more harm because people felt betrayed by God when this was not so, only God's messengers had betrayed them. God still planned to save all, but no one, not even the priests could see how. That is how God works.

Isa 66:5 Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.

Mat 23:8-12   But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, [even] Christ; and all ye are brethren.

   And call no [man] your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

  Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, [even] Christ.

  But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

  And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

What is the Truth about God?

It is in the Walk of Jesus Christ. He need not have said anything if you consider the action He took for His people.

 

Hsa 4:7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: [therefore] will I change their glory into shame.

 

The only televangelist that honestly represented Christ maybe Jim Baker because his sin was exposed and he was seriously humbled and humiliated in front of those he lead astray and betrayed. Baker's son continues to suffer for the humiliation of his family, yet remains devoted to God, and Jesus and has gained a deeper understanding because of what happened to his dad. There was justice.

There was no justice in the immediate case of Christ. The mob's voice and the chief rabbi's decision was upheld and God condemned in His Temple. But in His Kingdom, Justice was fulfilled. New Jerusalem was born.

Obviously everyman's "fate" is something that is known to God alone and everyman's decisions are between he and God alone. We will all stand the Judgment. Honest sinners will get a lot further with God than false witnesses. Ignorance is bliss and then the awakening from that ignorance can be painful in many ways but not necessarily deadly. Patient endurance and reliance upon God can and will bring you through.

Mat 12:19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.

Luk 13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

2Ti 2:5 And if a man also strive for masteries, [yet] is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.

If your life has been less than God centered and you have only recently begun to know Christ, He may seem foreign at first. Say you were raised in a family and community that accepted sin as the "norm," and maybe your family had a history of alcohol abuse and maybe you were abused for reasons you don't know or understand. Maybe you feel a greater kinship and more compassion for those who are like you and feel betrayed by those who are not? Maybe you have a little more compassion for those with weaknesses than those who have overcome and are sin free. Maybe God is shaping you for something.

Scorn, denial and judgment are not going to bring anyone out of the darkness of addiction and dependence, and may lead some to harden themselves and drink themselves to death for spite. The more one party strives for thesis, the more the other strives for antithesis. To say you are above any despicable behaviour is a lie and is more dispicable than the behaviour itself may or may not be in the eyes of God. It takes a lot of strength to be merciful and forgiving and very little to judge and condemn. The only reason one passes judgment on another is that he or she has already been sentenced and is suffering the consequences of that judgment. What is it to stand in the flames and speak not?

What would happen if all the judges in the world, stepped down? Lawlessness? By no means! Nothing can ever make the Law without affect.

What did the Lord say?

 

2Ch 19:6 And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the LORD, who [is] with you in the judgment.

 

What happened?

 

Isa 1:23 Thy princes [are] rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.

 

Jer 5:28 They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.

 

What did the Lord say?

 

Luk 6:37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

 

Jhn 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

 

How did the faithful servant respond?

1Cr 4:3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.

 

We the People

Most men and women are righteous...I'm going way out on a limb at a stretch here! But I really believe that most people if given the opportunity, would choose righteousness to different limits or extremes, and I believe they have done so in their own imaginations and actions however misconceived or erring. All men judge according to the spirit that is in them, few are willing and able to allow His Spirit to correct their spirits and truly maximize their ability in Him.
Whatever your cause or issue, most wish to do the right thing, to make their mark in a lasting way, but given the choices offered by the powers that be, the limitations set upon us by swine in power, the total unwillingness and fear in our leaders hearts and minds, what choice does the righteous man or woman have but criminal activity and utter devotion to beating whatever enemy there is standing in their way at any given moment? The true Leader, therefore, must be Christ, who allowed these powers to crucify him for the sake of the Truth and All involved. But it's the most impossible leadership to follow if you don't understand it. There are so many options for Our country in Christ, and so few without, yet most including those who claim Christ are doing everything they can in opposition to His Will.
It's Madness and it's weak and depressing and isolating and imprisoning.
We are debtors, not free men. The idea of a free country is absurd at this point.
The more we are shown to be damned the more we claim to be on our way somewhere. Deliverance is not right around the corner, hell is. Rapture is not right around the corner, suffering is. Must we always and forever be brought to our knees in suffering before we admit we're a bunch of nincompoops?
I'll remind folks now that the Bush administration, not little George, but Daddy George funded the war mongers, both Sadam and Bin Laden, who consequently "attacked" the US when their funding and hopes were cut off. 9/11 was constructed, and now the aim is to rebuild Iraq and govern it while the US falls apart from within, families fall apart, children run wild in the streets, lacking the basic foundation to fulfill the basic needs our Constitution promises (the Constitution men are currently permitted to interpret according to their will and fancy and need of the moment- usually a bitter, hateful mockery of all things sane and right, a manifestation of true weakness in suffering.) them and every vice known to man and many new ones are sold readily over the Internet and other media to a generation of rotting children.
Satan IS the enemy and Bush and our leaders will not go to war against him, because if they did, they might have to write their own scripts, and everyone would know what a bunch of frauds they are. They have not a sound bone within the lot of their mass of useless frames, and that is why wrong judgment proceeds from the Whore on a daily basis.
This country must throw off this current reign of stupidity and put on the Lord at once or we will go to our Grave with a general sense of discontent, coupled with ennui and sprinkled with a healthy dose of self-loathing and ineptitude that comes from a moronic pride that never made sense in the first place, from day one.
The foundation of this country is humility and service in God, not ape-ish pride and idol worship.
We need a national swift kick in the butt day, and a destruction of every national holiday this country ever dreamed up, including the pagan holidays of Christmas, Easter, Halloween, etc.
Who the hell do we think we are? We're lowlifes, running scared.
America, I beg of you, get the frigging hell over yourselves and stop being scared monkeys. Be brave men and women of Our Lord and Saviour and save this nation from Us.

Mal 3:5-18

And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in [his] wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger [from his right], and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.

For I [am] the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept [them]. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?

Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

Ye [are] cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, [even] this whole nation.

Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that [there shall] not [be room] enough [to receive it].

And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.

And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.

Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken [so much] against thee?

Ye have said, It [is] vain to serve God: and what profit [is it] that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?

And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, [they that] tempt God are even delivered.

Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard [it], and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.

And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

 

There's nothing pure about our religion or morality, and in theory everything remains just that, a theory....

Where and when do morality and religion get subverted among people?

"Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." --Ben Franklin

Founding fathers were the first good intentionalists to enlist others on the road to hell, they just told everyone they were paving it with gold, and many came.

They'd rather die than invite morality and religion into their hearts and homes...and die they did, and that is when they discovered the priceless value of morality and religion...

"...[A] Constitution will not be able to keep the government limited; for given a monopoly Supreme Court selected by the selfsame government and granted the power of ultimate decision making, the political 'ins' will always favor a 'broad' or loose interpretation of the wording of the Constitution serving to expand the powers of government over the citizenry; and, over time, the 'ins' will inexorably tend to win out over the minority of 'outs' who will argue vainly for a 'strict' interpretation limiting state power." --Murray N. Rothbard

 

The British came, they saw, they decided to stick around for the crumbs that might yet fall from their Master's table, slim pickin's in England without Him...and this we tolerated because of their promise to obey the leash law...a law we had to instate to make them happy away from home and Mother...all this because they refused to obey Our Father...we "Americans" had been busy making an honest go of things here and the damned scavengers tracked us down...always becoming worse and more depraved along their trails, while we were becoming better and more resolved and enlightened...

All cowards love boundaries and law. They are most afraid of the limitless freedom found in Christ and God.

The worst speak with forked tongues and promise others freedom for their allegiance, but allegiance to a slavemaster disguised as your friend or lover is the worst kind of slavery there is, it rots from within with self loathing and hatred, the only deliverance from which is more self debilitating behavior and forgetfulness which is why we enthrone vulgarity and hedonism and hide in neurosis and fraud.

But our lawns look nice, so we must be right...

Never fear, we're gonna work it out as soon as we remove the frauds from positions of power...God is with us.

Isa 33:22 For the LORD [is] our judge, the LORD [is] our lawgiver, the LORD [is] our king; he will save us.

 

 

Zechariah Brings It

Zech 1: 2-4, 6, 14b-15, 20-21

The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers. Therefore say thou unto them,

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the LORD of hosts.

Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and [from] your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the LORD.

But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? and they returned and said,

Like as the LORD of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.

And I am very sore displeased with the heathen [that are] at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.

And the LORD shewed me four carpenters. Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These [are] the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head:but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up [their] horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.

Zech 2: 4b-5, 7, 9, 11

Jerusalem shall be inhabited [as] towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein:

For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.

Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest [with] the daughter of Babylon.

For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me.

And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee.

 

Zech 3: 1-10

And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.

And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: [is] not this a brand plucked out of the fire?

Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.

And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.

And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by.

And the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua, saying,

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by.

Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they [are] men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.

For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone [shall be] seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and Iwill remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.

 

Zech 4: 6b

Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.

 

Zech 5: 7b-8a

this [is] a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah. This [is] wickedness.

 

Zech 6: 8b, 12b, 15

Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.

Behold the man whose name [is] The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:

And they [that are] far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. And [this] shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.

 

Zech 7: 5b-7, 9b-12, 14b

Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned, did ye at all fast unto me, [even] to me?

And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat [for yourselves], and drink [for yourselves]?

[Should ye] not [hear] the words which the LORD hath cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, when [men] inhabited the south and the plain?

Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to hisbrother:

And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.

But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.

Yea, they made their hearts [as] an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts.

Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.

 

Zech 8: 2b-6, 8, 16b-17, 19b, 23

I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.

Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age.

And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.

If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith the LORD of hosts.

And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.

Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:

And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these [are things] that I hate, saith the LORD.

the fast shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.

In those days [it shall come to pass], that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard [that] God [is] with you.

 

Zech 9: 13-14

When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.

And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord GOD shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.

Zech 10: 2-9

For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because [there was] no shepherd.

Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle.

Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together.

And they shall be as mighty [men], which tread down [their enemies] in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because the LORD [is] with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded.

And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I [am] the LORD their God, and will hear them.

And [they of] Ephraim shall be like a mighty [man], and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: yea, their children shall see [it], and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the LORD.

I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.

And I will sow them among the people: and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and turn again.

 

Zech 11: 3-7a, 11, 12b, 16

[There is] a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled.

Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;

Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed [be] the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not.

For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD: but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbour's hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver [them].

And I will feed the flock of slaughter, [even] you, O poor of the flock.

...so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it [was] the word of the LORD.

And I said unto them, If ye think good, give [me] my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty [pieces] of silver.

For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, [which] shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.

 

Zech 12: 7, 10

The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify [themselves] against Judah.

And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for [his] only [son], and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for [his] firstborn.

 

Zech 13: 1-2b, 6-7, 9b

In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.

I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.

And [one] shall say unto him, What [are] these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, [Those] with which I was wounded [in] the house of my friends.

Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man [that is] my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.

It [is] my people: and they shall say, The LORD [is] my God.

 

Zech 14: 12, 20

Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

Yet...

HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD
