Everything's Coming Up Moses

Back to the Law...

Psa 19:7 The law of the LORD [is] perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD [is] sure, making wise the simple.

If the Law seemeth to change in Christ and yet the Law changeth not, it is because Christ is the Law.

Col 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

3 Nephi 15:4-10 Behold, I say unto you that the law is fulfilled that was given unto Moses.

I am he that gave the law, and I am he who covenanted with my people Israel; therefore, the law in me is fulfilled, for I have come to fulfil the law; therefore it hath its fulfillment in me.

I do not destroy the prophets, for as many as have not been fulfilled in me, verily I say unto you, shall all be fulfilled.

The covenant which I have made with my people is not all fulfilled; but the law which was given unto Moses hath an end in me.

I am the law, and the light. Look unto me, and endure to the end, and ye shall live; for unto him that endureth to the end will I give eternal life.

I have given unto you the commandments; therefore keep my commandments. And this is the law and the prophets, for they truly testified of me.

'Y'shua/Jesus taught (Matt. 5:17-19) that anyone who annulled the least of God's Commandments, or taught others to do so, would be called "least" in his kingdom. He didn't come to abolish or set aside the Law and its teachings: he came to do the opposite, to fulfill them. The term Jesus used for "fulfill" carries the idea of bringing to full expression, showing forth its true meaning. The image is that of a Crown, showing someone off in his full radiance.' Without the Law and Festivals one cannot rightly know and honor the Commandments and the God who gave them. They act as reminders not only to us, but to God Himself that He promised to be merciful and kind to us in our imperfection and to forgive us, raise us up and perfect us at the Last.

The Law hath an "end" for those who can keep the Commandments with all their hearts and minds and Liberty is born in the Creature that Overcometh and one is Crowned.

If we cannot and fail to keep the Commandments, we must keep the Law and perfectly, and this is difficult when we mix those who keep the Commandments with those who keep the Law andRitual; Liberty is compromised in us when we fail to keep the Commandments in our hearts and minds with all Grace and Love, and bring this Grace and Love to Life in our Acts and Thoughts and Words and Deeds, as when the Divine meets the Natural and both are uplifted and subdued and Perfected in His Peace. And as we stray from Him and keeping the Commandments, the results are obvious and plain to see. We die daily, as Paul surmised. The Law keeps us Holy and Alive, sin brings death and with it, the need for sacrifice.

1Jo 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

Those who keep the Law, love to fight for Freedom but cannot enjoy the Liberty which they MUST protect, thus we stray towards the abominable creation of civilization and humanity which manipulates and most often sabotages the Greater Glory of the Sons of God out of envy and want.

Many rabbis and priests do not even want to understand why and wherefore the Law came, they only wish to use It, abuse It, add to It and call it religion. Joseph was the first to add to It worthily or seemed to add to It, but he was only taking from Christ and often erringly, which Christ has had to fix, but that was the plan. Joseph lied and betrayed out of envy and want, but it was because he kept the Law that he thought he could, he just forgot the Spirit of Truth was watching, and God was searching his heart.

Jhn 16:13-15 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.

Jesus was always speaking of Himself, and He is the Enigma, the Three in One. The One the world cannot accept.

D&C 20:35 And we know that these things are true and according to the revelations of John, neither adding to, nor diminishing from the prophecy of his book, the holy scriptures, or the revelations of God which shall come hereafter by the gift and power of the Holy Ghost, the voice of God, or the ministering of angels.

This is Manifested in the Word made flesh, and his Life and Ministry. Rabbis, who kept the Law perfectly or acted as if they did, constantly accused Jesus of breaking Laws and trying to make him seem Lawless. They themselves knew in their hearts, they could not keep the Law they were keeping and that It could not save them nor give them Life. How could this Jesus? How could anyone be said to be "without sin" (Hebrews 4:15) when he took flesh upon himself and had to sin? (Romans 8:8) He must need and heed the Law as prescribed by the Chief Rabbi! The first thing a Rabbi must admit if he wishes to teach Torah, is that he is unworthy to do so, and cannot be made worthy no matter how hard he try nor perfect he behold and carry out the Law.

Mat 17:5 This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

How!?

No one understood what sin is until Paul.

Rom 14:23 Whatsoever [is] not of faith is sin.

Faith findeth Grace and Truth.

Jhn 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, [but] grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

What if Love and Innocence causes, and more, requires of one to transgress the Law, and contrarywise, striving to keep the Law that causes one to transgress and betray Love and Innocency leaving one with a hardness of heart that not even God nor His Son can touch?

Mat 19:8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.

Mar 3:5 And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts

Maybe God permitted everyone to fall in sin to remove the vilest, most detestable sin that ever took shape in the hearts of men or angels-Pride.

Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.

When Joseph reached his supposed pinnacle, he defiled the entire mission and ministry with a single boast of how great he was and how unworthy and false everyone else was, even Jesus.

The Greater Jesus became, the humbler he became, often hiding away.

When Paul reached his height, he often sought to pretend humility, which the great recognized as shrewdness and the common mistook for plainess.

When the Lord steps out, the Real Slim Shaddai has been pleased to Stand Up.

Thus, though the Lord would be attracted to the Church for Its obedience and what seemeth like perfection(Luke8:21) he would also sense their reluctance to follow him away from their Church and understand why they could not, for their shepherd is Joseph and not Jesus.

When the Lord steps out, it is to save that which was lost and receive their stripes, and not condemn them for being lost as Pride might, yet he would and did praise the Righteous.

Isa 11:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people...

The disciples of Joseph are really good liars, mostly because they have not realized and do not know that they are lying. And it's a lie based upon Truth, for the Book of Mormon does indeed contain the Fulness of the Gospel, and is Scripture of and about the Christ.

Jesus, obviously, could not lie, for the fulness of the Godhead dwelleth in him bodily, he is the "Jew" in whom there can be no guile found. And Paul was a most beautiful example of a vile, wretched man encouraging others with all his wonderful heart to avoid the traps and snares he had fallen into, he was one who could be clever and guileful, but also had a clear and precise gift of recognizing God's Spirit and utilizing this gift to it's crowning perfection, thus a king among them. The realization of Paul's Vision and gospel and God's Spiritand Blessing gave birth to a society and culture in which children of God could mature into proper men and older gentlemen who received due honor and respect among the youth as guides and learned men of old. Honest, aging men who could be tutors and helpers of the young and coming generations, rather than old foolish objects of derision and scorn, who are preyed upon and set at nought unless they agree to play The Game and encourage youth to folly and cunning craft. All of which seemeth to me a right and due fulfillment of Leviticus 19, and what we must return to, proper Dignity in the LORD.

Joseph uses "holiness" as a weapon, and serves the enemy of God with "obedience." But the mockery and distaste for the Lord comes out, can be seen and felt, in their works. For this, Paul wept.

Phl 3:18-19 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, [that they are] the enemies of the cross of Christ:

Whose end [is] destruction, whose God [is their] belly, and [whose] glory [is] in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

Paul uses sinfulness as a starting point for all men to return to God, gradually being made holy because of Him and our agreement to follow and serve, and also makes clear the fact that there exist some who can not be holy, yet may be anointed servants of God, those tried by fire and found worthy and faithful despite the pain and disfigurement of their trials. Joseph condemns these anointed brethren simply because they are unclean in his eyes, but he knoweth not their hearts, and he sees not that those he blesses as worthy, God has hated.

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.

Joseph did what he believed was right for his brethren- to reward and honor the righteous, but their reward should be no more nor less than their righteousness. And the world is not going to reward anyone for being righteous, not with worldly gifts, at any rate. So when the D&C says that people will give the missionaries money, it is out and out lying or selling the Church out again.

It's Joseph or Pharoah trying to become Solomon. It's extremely cunning, and lawful. For if the Christ had not recognized it for what it is, a lie, then they would have the lawful right to the Church and Ministry and all it's riches, and the appointment and decisions of usage of saidriches would be theirs to make. But such belong to Christ alone.

Phl 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

The answer lies niether with Paul nor Joseph but with Jesus, the Law and the Testimony, and the Power and Sovereignty of the LORD. Salvation is of the Jews.

Rev 5:12-14 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, [be] unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four [and] twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.

Through the misuse of Paul's gospel and the misunderstanding of the Grace of Jesus Christ, Israel became the tail, instead of being what he is meant to be, the head. Thus the LORD will go after Israel again, to retrieve that which was lost...and return them to blessing as in the beginning of Deutronomy 28...so that they may lead, for another nation may not lead, but may oppress Israel if Israel be disobedient...ala Jesus as Solomon...a dying Godhead, all the nations round about took advantage of his "fall." David saw it coming...

Psa 37:24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth [him with] his hand.

Israel got used to being the tail and even found joy, fellowship, and a sentimental and sometimes humble will to endure that which was and is too weak to endure; Iniquity and Deception, the fruit of which rapidly ferments into a rod of wickedness.

An interesting correlation can be noticed between David and Saul, both of whom wished to be King over Israel and each disliked the other passionately, Saul was very rough and hard, and David, though led astray into war and combat, had a heart after the Lord. Saul and it can be seen in Paul as well, wished the Lord to answer to his heart's wish for the Lord. This unfortunately,often Hooved the Lord, and caused Him to follow along behind, when He wishes to be a comforting guide ever present...and He who waits ahead with everyman's reward.

But then, being in three places at once, is what Our LORD does best.

To be Christ's handler, is what Paul/Saul hungered for, like a prizefighter, and his eye was, as he stated, "on the prize"(Phl 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.) And he won It, and I would think the prosecution may object and rightfully claim he were "leading the Witness..." But then, the only One the Christ would recognize would be Himself at work in a Disciple or Apostle.

The meeting point for Saul/Paul and David is how either man had to learn and be humbled by the Lord, in affliction...And if we somehow combine the heartfelt passion of David psalming to the Lord and Paul wrestling therewith as Jacob once did, we discover the problem and solution of the everyman in the world which the LORD hath created to be Sovereign over and worshipped in.

Everyman has and instinctive drive to fulfill his spirit's desire, and to do so, must come to the LORD and ask how, especially when failing or having trouble doing so, because that is when Satan is waiting on our fall, and as David found, only the LORD can hold a man up, who has absolutely no right to stand.

And Paul miraculously discovers the Way.

2Cr 5:19-21 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech [you] by us: we pray [you] in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.

For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Courting Solomon

We have come to see that the true believer wanted to be with and near to God no matter what the cost, even suffering Hell itself for His sake, and the other wanted the Authority to make a lord out of himself, which not even the LORD desired! How preposterous!

We find in the Scriptures, the Lord wanted no more than to be known. To be your friend and helper through thick and through thin...A Spirit unwilling to abandon and neglect the most pitiful of men. Always there, from beginning to end. And for this, denied and hated by all at one time or another and most vehemently by those who had once claimed to love and serve in His Name.

Paul's many transgressions were wiped away. No man could have done this no matter how perfect he became in pratice and devotion. It was the Lord's doing.

"Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief."

While Joseph who strove lawfully for most of his life, was condemned for the worst sin in the book, hating the Spirit of the Lord and his brother. Falsifying and misrepresenting much with a Work that ought to have been miraculously successful an yet was and shall be because of the Lord.

Joseph was as true as the Lord for a time, he just couldn't be the Lord unless he beat the Lord and this he was willing to try for; because, as has been shown many times over, such is possible with the help of the Evil One.

Jhn 12:16 "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."

Which means Paul's claim cannot be entirely true and I believe he knew better but taught such because such was true in a way and because it was lawful.

Hbr 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

In a never ending Kingdom, Christ does and must indeed suffer from the foundation to the very end.

Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.

Ezekiel 37:23 I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.

2Cr 6:16 For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Rev 21:3 Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God.

Thus the Most Holy of Holies became such because of Solomon, who entered as the High Priest to begin the Sacrifice with animals and entered again as the Lord to offer Himself, as Y'shua/Jesus.

Thus:

Mat 12:42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon [is] here.

Solomon was the Lord indulging in Sensualist Pleasure. Jesus was the Lord Exalted in the Spirit, above and beyond temptation of the flesh.

And I've the notion that Solomon made bargains and deals with Idols only to appease the wrath that they were unleashing on his brethren because his brethren had become subject to these idols, making deals wherein they betrayed Solomon, yet Solomon chose to remain faithful even though he was being betrayed...thus he sacrificed all for his brethren, and should have condemned them in their tresspass against him and been faithful to the God of Israel alone, his/our Father and remained King. But he had a heart which wept for those who suffered and was willing to suffer for them.

Jhn 11:35 Jesus wept.

What Joseph may not have cared for was his own brethren or the "sheep" he claimed to be a shepherd of, though they reaped great rewards simply for being found in the Way and living righteously. They call their temples, "wards" for that is what they have become, lock downs, with pew checks instead of bed checks...Nevertheless, a Chosen Priesthood. And that which conformeth and receiveth the Lord's correction and criticism without hardening Itself shall blossom unto a Divinely Anointed Spring of Life. Which means baptizing in "living waters," which I think means we should come "out of the closet" baptism and return to actual rivers and streams that flow with living waters...A Jordan or what will you...

Practice makes perfect but perfection is hardly ever the mark of a pratictioner, because he is at Divine Liberty to subdue creation. While the wicked must keep a perfect facade up to feed a beastly lust that is unworthy of anything from above.

D&C 58:33 Then they say in their hearts: This is not the work of the Lord, for his promises are not fulfilled. But wo unto such, for their reward lurketh beneath, and not from above.

The Priesthood of the LDS Church has been chosen to do a very difficult Work, and they have been remarkably successful, in the most simplest and worthy of tasks, while failing in the greater task of interpreting the Scriptures and in practicing some rites and observances and in Faith of His Providence and Abundance.

What they have done really well, and it is because they have been lawful and orderly, is Baptize unto Eternal Life which is of the Brit Hadashah and for the Latter-days.

There is no more filthy individual than he who is trying to be clean or Holy without God.

Such a fundamental change in practice and leadership in the LDS Church will bring them into Proper Order and Life in the Spirit of Divine Liberty that need not hide away nor sterilize worship services. Because of improper order they have become Life Serving Death rather than as Paul understood, sinful man serving Life, striving to protect and enable the worthy to be known and mark himself as unworthy yet chosen and anointed because of his devotion and relation to the Lord. Such is Death serving Life, proper Order, which cannot be manipulated by the Beast.

And both understandings must return to Moses and the Jews for righteous instruction in worship.

The Lord's People knew a profound liberty that allowed them to live a chaotic life of bliss, that welcomed Creations gifts and marveled at the never ending procession of miracles within Their Temple of Life. This "chaos" was immaculately perfect, and wondrously affective. The more orderly and neurotic the Church and Society became the less wonderful and immaculate She became. And it was because people were fearfully serving the Grave, which is never full and always hungry. The Body, though taking a form of a perfect statue, was rotten at the core and retarded in understanding.

So, Paul's Agreement is more like unto Moses or Solomon, Death Serving Life, because the worthy are being served by the openly unworthy. Joseph's Church became the worthy serving the Unworthy One. Nevertheless, they possess the Work that is supposed to lead the blind and helpless in the Latter-days, if only they will follow God's Chosen Seer and People, which is not Joseph nor "Mormons."

But Jews and The Christ.

The problem that was making this understanding impossible to interpret and realize is that the Church Christ and Paul established is in shambles, defiled with the egos and vile understandings of a million professors who cannot find the wherewithal to be silent for an hour to even Hear the Spirit whom Mormons did Hear and strive with erringly for no more reason then that they are not chosen Jews, but very willing Gentiles and a very beautiful people. Nor will these above mentioned proffessors Hear anything but their own greedy claims on a gospel none of them have understood and they do not they care to. They do not Believe. They only know that being a professor pays the bills these days and puts food on their plates. They turn everything upright, instead of as the original Christians did, turning it all upside down. Instead they make everything a vile humanitarian effort and Israel is a mockery worse than that of what Ephraim may have done with the Scriptures we know as the Book of Mormon. This is why Christ has had to choose the LDS Church; even neurotic, forced worship is better than the insipidness and evil of a humanitarian church and culture. Such pride is the most vile of any kingdom and the most injurous of all when realized in the heart of an adherent. This leads to a militant denial and a willingness to do anything to remain in "Egypt."

Fear not! This can all be change in an instant. Simply change your mind. Turn back to Him, be baptized and believe. Even though our civilization was set up to be a ludicrous humanitarian whore's tool, with the simple and fundamental change in your mind, all the whore's works can serve Us and Christ instead. And though ye be dead in sins, ye shall now receive the Gift and enable wonders and miracles to return to Creation and bless all. Stop trying to do, and Let Him Be and Do.

The Whore and her merry minions have been working overtime to defile the understanding of the Children of God, especially the Sons, at the heart of whom lies all Power and Glory of the Miraculous and Divine Authority of the Kingdom of God. Forgetfulness and vice be praised!

She takes pride in rewarding those who make the lame vain, retarding the understanding of what their service/gift is to the world. She makes them comfortable and devours them whole when they bud. Jesus sets us back on the Road to Glory...

Jhn 9:1-3 And as [Jesus] passed by, he saw a man which was blind from [his] birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

Yes, the lame have a purpose and are not to be condemned as unclean or shunned as untouchable. But God is not to be mocked while "humanity" glories in divising ways of making the lame truly useless to us all and themselves. Setting them out of the way and Way does not help them nor us...

And this is just one example of the many of our vile follies that we turn into supposed victories or achievements. This is what leads to Nazi Reign and such will come again and swiftly if we do not condemn our pride to save ourselves.

She makes the vilest sort of vanity look and seem healthy and praiseworthy while condemning healthy pride as something it is not, vain and/or haughty.

Remember the Marriage Supper...Those who were bidden were cast off and the lame and the needy were welcomed to the Feast.

We Interrupt This Program...

To Bring Ye An Actual   Emergency...9/11

 

Ezekiel Brings It

 

Eze 7:1-27 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.

Now [is] the end [come] upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thine abominations.

And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come.

An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come.

The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble [is] near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.

Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish mine anger upon thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense thee for all thine abominations.

And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense thee according to thy ways and thine abominations [that] are in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD that smiteth.

Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth;the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.

Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them [shall remain], nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither [shall there be] wailing for them.

The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath [is] upon all the multitude thereof.

For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision [is] touching the whole multitude thereof, [which] shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.

They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none goeth to the battle: for my wrath [is] upon all the multitude thereof.

The sword [is] without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that [is] in the field shall die with the sword; and he that [is] in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.

But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity.

All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak [as] water.

They shall also gird [themselves] with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame [shall be] upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads.

They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty: but they made the images of their abominations [and] of their detestable things therein: therefore have I set it far from them.

And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it.

My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret [place]: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.

Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.

Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled.

Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and [there shall be] none.

Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.

The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.

Endurance Time

Jhn 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.

Scripture teaches that our sin separates us from our Holy God, so that we cannot approach Him without atonement (covering) for our sin. We must make peace with God and God's Atonement protects His people as a blanket, covering what would otherwise keep us separated. By obeying God's Instructions, Israel showed he and we want God to rule over him and His people.

In the Latter-days the instructions are different, though the Law and the Testimony remain the same forever. It seemeth to change in Him because he is the Law. The Way is Easy now...all we have to do is show up. For this God hath chosen a Church and Priesthood for the Latter-days. And it is the One True Church and Priesthood. Please doubt not, and seek ye a church to be baptized in today.

Because of people's inability to understand Paul's gospel many have been damned to Saul's wanderings with an evil spirit upon them to wrestle with daily. I believe this was Saul's intent in Paul as he struggled to regain control of his vessel...(1Ch 13:3 And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we enquired not at it in the days of Saul.) Saul ultimately lost the battle, God be praised, and Paul overcame but many have lost the battle and gone back to the wilderness, therefore they need to come unto John or Peter for rebaptism.

Paul's gospel is the most cleverly wrought work in the new testament and maybe the entire Scriptures. It's heretical while being faithful...manipulative while being honest and leading to know Christ deeply and more clearly, while obfuscating the same as a protective Shepherd might, as Christ himself would and did with parables. The genius of it is that it is intended to fulfill in Christ every claim and word, but particularly, the promise to reveal what is in every man's heart.

To misunderstand Paul's gospel is to reap the demons of Saul, while to understand and to overcome with Paul is to escape the same and reconcile yourself to God. Beautiful! So dramatically faithful, yet careful and wise beyond words. I say beyond words because one must follow to prove them; one must act and do, and leave behind the old man and his sins...Corruption comes from the struggle to overcome his former self. He goes to insane, Spirit driven lengths to establish Christ as God's Head. His gospel is a gift to every struggling , failing and sometimes dying believer whom didst ever strive for God and Christ.

The question one may find oneself asking is...does Paul intend to betray and abandon or testify to the Truth and redeem? Could it be both? And again, the answer lies in the practice of what is revealed...No man knew Jesus Christ as intimately as Paul, and whether he liked Jesus or not is ultimately irrelevant, because all men have a love/hate relationship with God, especially when separated by sin and envy. Was his intention to lift the Body up to a height of exultant bliss only to let it fall to the depths that Saul had to endure? Obviously not, but that may have been the outcome many times over...God be praised for the Mystery that Saves from what seemeth to be disaster, and that is the especially wonderful part about Paul's gospel that Paul cannot boast of and does not boast of and I believe would never boast of for that is Paul, faithful and righteous even in a fallen warring state as Saul.

And brethren of like mind and spirit concede.

At any rate, a sufficient number of people did misunderstand Paul and are walking around haunted, if not terrorized, by an evil spirit much the same as the one which was told to have come upon king Saul, and the relief must come from someone like David whom the Lord's Spirit had rule over. ALL are now in need of rebaptism, though Paul was sent not to do so, that I believe is the LORD's final intention for Paul's work.

Act 26:16-18, 22-23, 29 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;

Delivering thee from the people, and [from] the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,

To open their eyes, [and] to turn [them] from darkness to light, and [from] the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:

That Christ should suffer, [and]that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.

I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.

The Book of Mormon prophecies about this time.

Hel. 13: 37 Behold, we are surrounded by demons, yea, we are encircled about by the angels of him who hath sought to destroy our souls.Behold, our iniquities are great. O Lord, canst thou not turn away thine anger from us? And this shall be your language in those days.

When the Lord steps out, he does so unambiguously, unlike Paul. The Lord and the Law change not. Paul seems to change the laws requirements and the seasons and the days, but he is trying to grasp the Liberty of the Spirit in God as he perceived It in Jesus Christ. And indeed he did understand, but, and it is almost imperceptible, he tries to lead the Lord at times, rather than letting the Law and the Testimony speak aright and for Itself, he is the first and often worthy practitioner of "priestcraft." But, insomuch as he tries to do his own will and not God's he is tresspassing and leading astray...Again, a remarkably clever man was/is Paul, and a chosen/anointed vessel and teacher/apostle.

 

But why?

Rom 7:24-25a O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Not even Jesus could save himself, but because he did what he did, God can and will save any and all who are willing through Jesus.

There is obvious advantage for someone who is circumsized for another instance, and that is Law that will never change. Heathen remain uncircumsized. A "circumcision of heart" is possible, but then any who really had a change of heart would desire to fulfill every last iota of the Law and to be found Perfect in Christ, which is to return to Israel for teaching of Moses and the Jews, His Chosen, and not perfunctorily as a Mormon (fraudulent Jew), yet as a Latter-day Saint who knows of some valid additions to the Law and Testimony that come of the need for baptism into the Christ which is the same as being adopted into the House of Abraham and Kingdom of David and Solomon, and the Days of the Reign of Messiah.

The change in the Law, if it can even be said to be a change is this, and it was not intended to create a new Church nor the superstitious tyranny of a Popery. God had annulled His marriage and sent His Bride packing, and established a New Covenant with the entire World/Creation in a Church built without hands. The Law, Testimony, Seasons and Times remain the Same forever. Salvation is still of the Jews. The Gentile Church is not God's Church, but the Gentiles may be among God's People. How they prove their devotion to God is not in arranging things according to their own spirits, but in coming to His chosen for direction and understanding.

Consider what Jesus taught:

Jhn 4:22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

Mat 5:17-20 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

and from the Book of Mormon we learn:

 

2 Nephi 29 Behold, there shall be many—at that day when I shall proceed to do a marvelous work among them, that I may remember my covenants which I have made unto the children of men, that I may set my hand again the second time to recover my people, which are of the house of Israel;

And also, that I may remember the promises which I have made unto thee, Nephi, and also unto thy father, that I would remember your seed; and that the words of your seed should proceed forth out of my mouth unto your seed; and my words shall hiss forth unto the ends of the earth, for a standard unto my people, which are of the house of Israel;

And because my words shall hiss forth—many of the Gentiles shall say: A Bible! A Bible! We have got a Bible, and there cannot be any more Bible.

But thus saith the Lord God: O fools, they shall have a Bible; and it shall proceed forth from the Jews, mine ancient covenant people.

And what thank they the Jews for the Bible which they receive from them? Yea, what do the Gentiles mean?

Do they remember the travails, and the labors, and the pains of the Jews, and their diligence unto me, in bringing forth salvation unto the Gentiles?

O ye Gentiles,have ye remembered the Jews, mine ancient covenant people? Nay; but ye have cursed them, and have hated them, and have not sought to recover them.

But I will return all these things upon your own heads; for I the Lord have not forgotten my people.

Thou fool, that shall say: A Bible, we have got a Bible, and we need no more Bible. Have ye obtained a Bible save it were by the Jews?

Know ye not that there are more nations than one? Know ye not that I, the Lord your God, have created all men, and that I remember those who are upon the isles of the sea; and that I rule in the heavens above and in the earth beneath; and I bring forth my word unto the children of men, yea, even upon all the nations of the earth?

Wherefore murmur ye, because that ye shall receive more of my word? Know ye not that the testimony of two nations is a witness unto you that I am God, that I remember one nation like unto another?

Wherefore, I speak the same words unto one nation like unto another. And when the two nations shall run together the testimony of the two nationsshall run together also.

And I do this that I may prove unto many that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and that I speak forth my words according to mine own pleasure. And because that I have spoken one word ye need not suppose that I cannot speak another; for my work is not yet finished; neither shall it be until the end of man, neither from that time henceforth and forever.

Wherefore, because that ye have a Bible ye need not suppose that it contains all my words; neither need ye suppose that I have not caused more to be written.

For I command all men, both in the east and in the west, and in the north, and in the south, and in the islands of the sea, that they shall write the words which I speak unto them; for out of the books which shall be written I will judge the world, every man according to their works, according to that which is written.

For behold, I shall speak unto the Jews and they shall write it; and I shall also speak unto the Nephites and they shall write it; and I shall also speak unto the other tribes of the house of Israel, which I have led away, and they shall write it; and I shall also speak unto all nations of the earth and they shall write it.

And it shall come to pass that the Jews shall have the words of the Nephites, and the Nephites shall have the words of the Jews; and the Nephites and the Jews shall have the words of the lost tribes of Israel; and the lost tribes of Israel shall have the words of the Nephites and the Jews.

And it shall come to pass that my people, which are of the house of Israel, shall be gathered home unto the lands of their possessions; and my word also shall be gathered in one.

And I will show unto them that fight against my word and against my people, who are of the house of Israel, that I am God, and that I covenanted with Abraham that I would remember his seed forever.

 

The Father and Founder of Judaism is Jesus Christ. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit of Christianity is The Christ. The "Mormon" of Mormonism is not the Christ, yet Christ hath chosen the "Mormon," LDS Church for the Latter-days. The Book of Mormon is of Ephraim, or Nephi and he loves the Lord. Why it is called of "Mormon," names change while spirits and entities remain the same.

Much like Christians got the name "Christians," "the nickname Mormon was created by people who were not members of the Church to refer to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The name comes from the sacred book of scripture compiled by the ancient prophet Mormon and entitled the Book of Mormon. The name given by the Lord by which members of the Church are to be known is "Saints." The correct name of the Church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."

Or so the story goes according to the Church. I feel, some of the Brethren probably accepted the nickname more readily, because they can be a very proud, militant people, and proud of their military general, rather than their Christ.

"A Nephite prophet, military general, and record keeper in the Book of Mormon. Mormon lived about A.D. 311-385. He was a military leader for most of his life, beginning at age fifteen."

He was a man of War, unlike the Christ. Yet in what the LORD made him to be, he was faithful to his calling, and thus made clean and part of the Body, Christ.

Will all or any be faithful to the calling? Some have and because of circumstance, situation or location and the many trappings and demands of the world Unity and Ingathering has been difficult to perform nevermind understand and this I believeis His Will. The thing that is not His Will is the fighting that will take place among the tribes, even in this our Latter-days. It's Endurance Time. Last one in is a rotten egg? Behold, He is the First and the Last, the Alpha and the Omega. Do not move to "Planet Wait Your Turn," inhabit instead the Community of "After You." The rotten eggs are those dividing Him up amongst themselves rather than seeking Unity by coming to His Chosen and working together. The chasm can grow deep and wide.

What Paul knew and realized because of his own transgressions and state of existence and what he owed God for His inexplicable mercy and Grace is this, you're going to need a David to play a harp for you...Tender Mercy. Which is what was so beautiful about Paul and so abominable about Saul. Saul corrupted David and then sought to kill him, God saved David and created Paul. One man wanted to be king, the other wanted God to be King. Yet the corrupter in everyman is always lying wait to betray. Because as good and right as any can become, all fall short. And that is when most no longer find the strength to care.

As Joseph was willing and able to do but unwilling to love, so Paul was willing to love but unable to do, it was all the Lord's doing with Paul. He never would have overcome without God.

Now the Lord saith, "why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" But if you do and hate the Lord, you're not doing at all. Thus, the Brit Hadashah embraced all men and abandoned only the haughty priesthood which could no longer love the LORD aright, as a little child, with complete abandon.

Pro 21:2 Every way of a man [is] right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.

The LORD saved the unworthy while the Righteous worked to do the impossible or unlawful without Him...Because obeying the Law while you hate the Lawgiver, is not Love at all. Mercy claimeth the pentitent sinner. Righteousness will not save the righteous if he hate God or brother.

Complete heathen and strangers to the Law and Way embraced both when the Love and Grace of the Lord appeared, while Church Leaders all worked to ensare the very Entity that granted them Authority! And so it has been with every man whoever started a church, synagogue or priesthood. Once that kind of Power is established it must be incredibly hard to allow The Almighty in and it is largely because the Lord has nothing to do with Churches, Religions and Organizations, and especially places of worship, buildings, synagogues, temples, structures, etc...though if any wish to build he must build lawfully and as commanded, as Moses did, and even then, if it's just a facade to you, it's just a facade to Him...But if ye love Him and erect a Sukkot every year in His Honor, then that Sukkot, though made of old, cherished linen and branches from well beloved trees, is the most Cherished Work in His Eyes and Estimation, while rock solid foundations built to withstand earthquakes may be meaningless to Him. Yes, there is the Wisdom revealed in Christ that to build upon a solid, well-planned and thought out foundation is what God expects, but if you're building for you and not He, then you may as well be living in a Teepee, and if you live in a Teepee and love God with all your heart that Teepee will withstand all the "natural disasters" in the world because God will calm the storm around it that destroys your enemies works.

Jhn 4:21,23-24 Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the trueworshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.

To Be Or Not To Be

Our Nation is the chosen nation spoken of in Daniel and Revelation and we must never forget that this nation shall rule forever until the day of Judgment.

Considering Numbers 35:33-34. the people of the Lord who from time to time, in our Nation's History fall victim to their own back sliding and sin into a state of war, ought to be considered different from the enemies of Our Lord and not condemned outright from our own stance and knowledge of our Lord's righteous judgment. We must look at these at once with compassion and abhorance. But never condemnation for they are never ours to judge. All Nation's and Kindreds and peoples belong to the LORD. And we must never forget that Jesus Christ died and rose in order to become the Lord of the living and of the dead. We have not the mind, nor wisdom of the Lord. He knows the hearts of all that fall away and stand with Him. He knows the reasons why they fall or stand and is able to make those who fall, stand again and those who imagine they stand He is able to cause to fall.



Now, considering Psalm 106, those who, having once belonged to the Lord, have fallen to whatever state they have are never to be considered among the Nations who follow after demons and sacrifice their children unto them, whose names were never and shall never be written in the book of Life. But each man, when he falls, goes to different depths and the existence at these depths causes one to err in judgment and sometimes so greivously, that they are no longer who they once were or whom God made them to be.

They become like the demon ridden soul whom our Lord healed in Mark 5:9 And he asked him, What [is] thy name? And he answered, saying, My name [is] Legion: for we are many.

What happened to this man? Was he condemned?

Mar 5:15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

The amount of self hatred and loathing in such a state as this, I never wish to have knowledge of. But a person who is actually willing to sacrifice his own offspring is deplorable indeed.

To condemn someone who has been tricked into aborting a child is not ours. You have no right and shall be judged more harshly than the innocent child of God who chose to do so. And you had better believe your enemies will be mighty and numerous indeed when you do decide to condemn these innocent souls. For no man wishes to be condemned and no one would choose to sacrifice a child if they had knowledge of another way.

When in a state of separation from our Lord, there is much confusion and error in judgment and yet, we are never judged as we might judge others and our Lord knows us no matter how far we stray from Him.

There are offices of perdition that must be respected or acknowledged by the Saints if they are to protect their children from making the same mistakes many have allowed their children to make.

Why do many allow their children to make these mistakes in the name of "freedom of choice" and all kinds of "morally relevant" idiocy? Because they wish to escape their own state of existance and hide the truth about themselves from their children. They wish to transfer judgment, they wish to escape duty, they do not love their children as they ought and they number far more than God's Elect and Sealed, so be on your guard and be careful, and make righteous judgment.


Do not believe the hype.

Saints cannot be touched by any Spirit but that of God Almighty. If you follow after that which is good and reject evil, the evil one cannot touch you, it is that simple. No matter how badly anyone wishes to hurt you, they cannot when you stand in Him and do as He commands. They must first make you stumble or fall, then you are still under His protection through Jesus Christ, even in Hell. At the Last Day, we will ALL stand before the Judgment Throne of God Almighty and I do not wish to know what those who have gone ahead and followed the practices of demons who sacrifice their own will be. I only wish to avoid ever putting myself in a situation that might necessitate such an erring decision, and I do not mean to sound as though I'm making light of such a decision, just that we ought never forget that every soul belongs to God the Father and He has power to raise up children from the very stones at our feet. Therefore, if God be for you, even one single man can stand against the entire world in victory, as on the day of resurrection of Christ.

Acts 11:14-17:
"Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved. And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning. Then remembered I the wordof the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. For as much then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?"


God's gift of the Holy Ghost is promised to us today and not just for the saints back in the time of the early church, as we find Peter saying, "...Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call" (Acts 2:38-39).

"For I am the Lord, I change not" (Malachi 3:6a). "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever" (Hebrews 13:8).

Now, will ye Be or Not?

If Not, Not

All sin is unforgivable if you are not truly penitent.
God is Holy. NO sin/darkness may dwell with Him.

Unforunately, even with believers the flesh is weak and being a doer of the word hardly ever follows believing and being "saved," thus most are not saved even when they believe themselves to be. As it says in James they deceive themselves.
Then they become militantly ignorant and the most avid and almost rabid of false teachers/witnesses. The real good ones become calm and constrained and almost seem aloof and unconcerned.
There are different levels of exaltation and judgment, I don't know enough to say what exactly the difference will be for one person from the next, that's God's business.
I only know that weak and false teaching is rampant and the reason most will end up in hell when all the while they believed themselves worthy of heaven simply because they said some prayer and "welcomed Jesus into their hearts."
People need a much stronger, vigilant faith. When your faith and practice become truly strong you will know what I am talking about. The world will throw everything your way to try and make you stumble. Women throw themselves at men strong in the faith. Money makers heap grants upon men of faith in hopes of leading them into the love of money and forgetting the important matters of the faith. Your enemies all come atyou smiling and welcoming and lay any little snare they can in your path. And a million other temptations and tests come your way when your walk is steady...Any time your enemy sees you trying on the full armor of God they'll do whatever they can to make you believe it doesn't fit you.

Luk 18:1-8 And he spake a parable unto them [to this end], that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?



Mar 14:38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly [is] ready, but the flesh [is] weak.


Lo, we are without excuse...

Luk 3:7-8 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to [our] father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.



2Nephi 9:20-29 O how great the holiness of our God! For he knoweth all things, and there is not anything save he knows it.
And he cometh into the world that he may save all men if they will hearken unto his voice; for behold, he suffereth the pains of all men, yea, the pains of every living creature, both men, women, and children, who belong to the family of Adam.
And he suffereth this that the resurrection might pass upon all men, that all might stand before him at the great and judgment day.
And he commandeth all men that they must repent, and be baptized in his name, having perfect faith in the Holy One of Israel, or they cannot be saved in the kingdom of God.
And if they will not repent and believe in his name, and be baptized in his name, and endure to the end, they must be damned; for the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, has spoken it.
Wherefore, he has given a law; and where there is no law given there is no punishment; and where there is no punishment there is no condemnation; and where there is no condemnation the mercies of the Holy One of Israel have claim upon them, because of the atonement; for they are delivered by the power of him.
For the atonement satisfieth the demands of his justice upon all those who have not the law given to them, that they are delivered from that awful monster, death and hell, and the devil, and the lake of fire and brimstone, which is endless torment; and they are restored to that God who gave them breath, which is the Holy One of Israel.
But wo unto him that has the law given, yea, that has all the commandments of God, like unto us, and that transgresseth them, and that wasteth the days of his probation, for awful is his state!
O that cunning plan of the evil one! O the vainness, and the frailties, and the foolishness of men! When they are learned they think they are wise, and they hearken not unto the counsel of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves, wherefore, their wisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not. And they shall perish.
But to be learned is good if they hearken unto the counsels of God.

If I had a hammer

I'd hammer in the morning

I'd hammer in the evening ... all over this land,

I'd hammer out danger

I'd hammer out a warning

I'd hammer out love between all of my brothers and my sisters

All over this land.

If I had a bell

I'd ring it in the morning

I'd ring it in the evening ... all over this land,

I'd ring out danger

I'd ring out a warning

I'd ring out love between all of my brothers and my sisters

All over this land.

If I had a song

I'd sing it in the morning

I'd sing it in the evening ... all over this world,

I'd sing out danger

I'd sing out a warning

I'd sing out love between all of my brothers and my sisters

All over this land.

If I've got a hammer

And I've got a bell

And I've got a song to sing ... all over this land,

It's a hammer of justice

It's a bell of freedom

It's a song about love between all of my brothers and my sisters

All over this land.

 

 

Malachi 4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

Micah Brings It

Mic 7:1-20 Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the vintage: [there is] no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit.

The good [man] is perished out of the earth: and [there is] none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.

That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge [asketh] for a reward; and the great [man], he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.

The best of them [is] as a brier: the most upright [is sharper] than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen [and] thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.

Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.

For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies [are] the men of his own house.

Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.

Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD [shall be] a light unto me.

I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, [and] I shall behold his righteousness.

Then [she that is] mine enemy shall see [it], and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is the LORD thy God? mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.

[In] the day that thy walls are to be built, [in] that day shall the decree be far removed.

[In] that day [also] he shall come even to thee from Assyria, and [from] the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and [from] mountain to mountain.

Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.

Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage, which dwell solitarily [in] the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed [in] Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.

According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous [things].

The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay [their] hand upon [their] mouth, their ears shall be deaf.

They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the LORD our God, and shall fear because of thee.

Who [is] a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth [in] mercy.

He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, [and] the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.

Paint It Black

 

1Nephi 11:35-36 And the multitude of the earth was gathered together; and I beheld that they were in a large and spacious building, like unto the building which my father saw. And the angel of the Lord spake unto me again, saying: Behold the world and the wisdom thereof; yea, behold the house of Israel hath gathered together to fight against the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
 And it came to pass that I saw and bear record, that the great and spacious building was the pride of the world; and it fell, and the fall thereof was exceedingly great. And the angel of the Lord spake unto me again, saying: Thus shall be the destruction of all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, that shall fight against the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

 

Eze 13:22-23 Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life: 
 Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
 

 

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they’re all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens ev’ry day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I’ll fade away and not have to face the facts
It’s not easy facin’ up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the settin’ sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin’ comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
Hmm, hmm, hmm,...
I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah!
