Stones for the Stonemason

"What manner of men ought ye to be?" God needs stones to erect a building, as it were, even Zion. Each stone must bear weight and take its unique place in the arch or wall the Lord desires to build. If we are cracked or narcissistic or unstable, then the Stonemason must reject that stone and choose another more flawless one, suited to bear the weight to be placed upon it. If we are self aggrandizing and selfish, then "he that seeketh his life shall lose it, but he that loseth his life for my sake shall gain it." The Priesthood authoritatively handles and places each stone in its proper place in the building, whether in the foundation, bearing the most weight or in a suitable place to support and form other structures comprising the building. If we will not submit to the authority of the Priesthood in manipulating and placing us by revelation, then we cannot fit, are useless and are cast off. If Joseph had a right to dictate me in relation to salvation, in relation to a hereafter, he had a right to dictate me in relation to all my earthly affairs, in relation to the treasures of the earth, and in relation to the earth itself. He had a right to dictate in relation to the cities of the earth, to the natives of the earth, and in relation to everything on land and on sea. That is what he had a right to do, if he had any right at all. If he did not have that right, he did not have the Priesthood of God, he did not have the endless Priesthood that emanates from an eternal being. A Priesthood that is clipped, and lacks length, is not the Priesthood of God; if it lacks depth, it is not the Priesthood of God; for the Priesthood in ancient times extended over the wide world, and coped with the universe, and had a right to govern and control the inhabitants thereof, to regulate them, give them laws, and execute those laws.

Vision of the Pre-existance and the Mark of Cain

Definitive discourse of the curse of Cain, what is the mark of Cain, the reasons for this curse and why Israel should not associate but "be ye separate", saith the Lord. Mankind segregated before birth into three main races or grades. In the resurrection, the tripartite division will be a 1000 times greater in effect than now. Three kingdoms in resurrection strictly linear in relationship to three sons of Noah, Shemitic, Hamitic (the curse) and Japeth (Gentile nations), one glory of the sun, another of the moon, and still others, the glory of the stars. Justice of God began before birth in this delineation according to race. Will not be abrogated or annulled in the least by the wicked among men, who arrogate to themselves to speak "great swelling words against the Most High" and who "seek to change times and laws" (liberalism, saith the Lord). Vision of Mosiah Hancock of the war fought in heaven: "When about twenty-one years of age, I was permitted by the power of God, to go into His presence and into my former abode. 2 I saw the Eternal Father on His throne and His wives on His left side, all shining in glory; I saw the Savior and knew Him. 3 It takes the power of the Holy Ghost to tell the difference be¬tween the Father and the Son, they look so much alike. 4 Jesus said: "Mosiah, I have brought you here to show you how it was before you went to the earth. 5 "I had been to the earth; everything looked so natural and familiar. 6 I seemed to have been a companion of the Savior and talked with him like a friend. 7 Again, He spoke to me and said: "Look and see man as he came forth . 8 " I looked in the direction indicated and saw an innumerable line of God's children extending fur¬ther than I could see. 9 They were arranged in pairs, male and female, and passed in front of the Eternal Father who named them; and they were clad in long white robes with girdles tied around the waists; each pair seemed to have been created mates."

The Revelations of Jesus Christ

 

SECTION 53.

 

 

VISION OF THE PRE-EXISTANCE, GIVEN TO MOSIAH HANCOCK,

 

 

Mosiah, how I long once again to behold thy face in yonder realms of glory, Yea the glory I had with thee and the friendship I had with thee, my friend, from before the foundation of the world.  For I have striven with the sons of men, as thee, my friend, to turn them from their evil way, and their evil passions as they grovel themselves upon our and our Father's earth for a season, to see if they would be wor­thy of an eternal inheritance.  Yea, but they would not, therefor shall they not be cut off our Father's earth, and the meek, who have stifled their passions and disciplined themselves, according to the plans of the Gods, shall they not inherit the earth, saith the Lord?  For the words of our Brother shall not return again void, "He that seeketh his life shall lose it, but he that loseth his life for my sake shall gain it."  Yea, Mosiah, Mosiah, I, Art Bulla, have I not drunk out of that bitter cup also, and I have descended with thee below the stares, the frowns, and the calumny of men and women, that I might once again rejoin the sons and daughters of the Gods on high, that we may in­herit all that our Father hath?  For these things are after Oath and Covenant of the Order of the Ancients, who are without beginning of days nor end of years, and shall we not come up as they, hav­ing proven ourselves worthy of their approbation?  While the mean-minded gentile shall have non place among them, but shall be cut off forever and ever, worlds without end.   For I have seen also as it hath been revealed unto me by the power of the Holy Ghost, thy sacrifice, and great is thy name, saith the Lord, for it, saith the Lord shall be had in remembrance for thy noble sacrifice, from gen­eration to genera­tion among the Saints of the Most High.  I bless thee, my friend, by the power of the Melchizedec Priesthood which I hold, and hope to gather thee in my arms, that great and last day, when we meet at the feet of our Jesus.  Amen.  (I have re­ceived com­mandment from the Father to include this Vision of the Pre-existance in the body of the Revelations of Jesus Christ, despite the calumny and frowns and stares of the wicked, who know not my God.)

 

Body of the Vision: When about twenty-one years of age, I was permitted by the power of God, to go into His presence and into my former abode.

 2 I saw the Eternal Father on His throne and His wives on His left side, all shining in glory; I saw the Savior and knew Him.

 3 It takes the power of the Holy Ghost to tell the difference be­tween the Father and the Son, they look so much alike.

 4 Jesus said: "Mosiah, I have brought you here to show you how it was before you went to the earth.

 5 "I had been to the earth; ev­erything looked so natural and familiar.

 6 I seemed to have been a com­panion of the Sav­ior and talked with him like a friend.

 7 Again, He spoke to me and said: "Look and see man as he came forth .

 8 " I looked in the direction in­dicated and saw an innumerable line of God's children extending fur­ther than I could see.

 9 They were arranged in pairs, male and female, and passed in front of the Eternal Father who named them; and they were clad in long white robes with girdles tied around the waists; each pair seemed to have been created mates. (Note 1)

 10 When thus clothed, they were arranged in classes of about two hundred; the males sitting in front and the females behind them.

 11 They were taught in the arts and sciences, and everything necessary to make the heart happy.

 12 The teachers of the classes received the in­struction from cer­tain notable ones, who in turn got their directions from the Father and the Son.

 13 I thought I was one to over­look the classes; I also saw Joseph, Brigham, and many oth­ers en­gaged in this work of edu­cation.

 14 I thought as some became more efficient than others they were advanced from class to class.

 15 I thought my name was Mosiah, and the names of the other brethren there were the same as upon the earth.

 16 All at once there was a gath­ering of these spirits and the voice of the Great Eternal (for that is what we called God there) spoke: "Oh, ye my children," and His voice penetrated throughout space, so countless were His off­spring.

 17 "We have an earth prepared for you, on which you can dwell and have a chance to come up, through obeying our Heavenly laws.

 18 "I there heard the question asked: "Who will go down and set an example of humility and faith­fulness to these my children, that they may be brought, thru obedience to our laws, back into our presence?"

 19 I thought I saw one in the ex­press image of the Father say, "Father, I will go down and set a pat­tern of humility and pa­tience that your children, thru my ex­ample, may be brought back again.

 20 " How noble, I thought, He looked when He offered Himself so patient before the children of our Father.

 21 I saw another, who seemed to be a very high
 military officer who arose and said: "I will go down to yonder earth and surely I will bring all your children back to you so none of them shall be lost.

 22 "The plan of the first was ac­cepted as being the only sure plan for an exaltation.

 23 The plan of the second was rejected with great kindness; but the second was not satisfied; and while the first stood in great humility by the side of the Fa­ther, the second with many who stood in with him, went about among the Heavenly hosts to ad­vocate the plan, that was put forth as the rights of the second.

 24 This one was Lucifer, a son of the morning, for many had been with the Father for count­less ages, and learned their les­sons well, and he had been no dull scholar.

 25 Finally Lucifer openly re­belled against the Fa­ther and the Son, and six other mighty ones who stood faithful with them and declared, "I will have it my way.

 26 " I saw the faithful ones gather around the Fa­ther and the Son, and Lucifer's workers gathe­red around him, when one of the notable ones, who was called Mi­chael, arose and said, "We will de­cide the contest.

 27 " It seemed that a platform was extended into space, upon which we could operate, by what power I could not tell.

 28 We who were faithful to the Father and the Son, had a white star upon us, and the others chose a red star; about one third of the males and females would not accept of either star, but with­drew from the conflict, the females taking the males by the arm, said, "Come, let us not take part with either side.

 29 Let us retire.

 30 " (Note 2) (When they were cast out after the manner of spiri­tual warfare,) they had no power to return.

 31 When they were all cleared from the platform and Satan and his followers were all cast down,
their female companions wept, and we all wept.

 32 No females took part against the Father and the Son, but all took sides in their favor, except the neutral ones already men­tioned.

 33 After the tears were dried, from our eyes, the voice of the Great Eternal, spoke again and said, "Hear, O ye my chil­dren;" His voice penetrating the im­mensity of space so that all could hear it; it is decreed by the Great Eternal that the females shall not follow their males in their ban­ishment, but for every male that has kept his first estate and fought valiantly for the Father and the Son, there are two fe­males.

 34 Again it is decreed that those males who have taken no part in this great conflict shall keep their females and a race of servants shall they be.

 35 " I then saw that the notable ones who had taken such an in­terest in the rights of the Father and the Son, were appointed to gather up those lone females whose companions had been cast down.

 36 They were again placed in classes, each man having two females in the ranks behind him.

 37 I there saw that they were again taught in their classes, which now contained about three hun­dred.

 38 I next saw Michael and his companion pro­ceed a long way off, to people the earth where Lucifer and his followers had been cast.

 39 As time passed, other notable ones followed as they were ap­pointed.

 40 During all this time the classes met frequently, being taught by instructors appointed.

 41 Each member knew his or her own place, and took it each time, and the best of order pre­vailed.

 42 They were asked, first the males, and then fe­males behind them, "Will you obey the Gospel of Jesus Christ, when you go to that earth?"

43 Some would answer, yes but not all.

 44 Some would be asked, "Will you obey that law which placed the Gods on high?"

45 And in very few cases I would hear the females
 say, "I want my own mate.

 46 " Sometimes the question would be asked of a male, "Will you obey that higher law?

47 and he would answer, I wish to enjoy myself with the females.

 48 " Sometimes when the ques­tion would be asked of the fe­male, she would reply, "I wish to enjoy myself with the males.

 49 " Again the question would be asked of the males, "If you will not join the Church of Christ, what do you wish to be?

50 He would sometimes say, "I wish to be judge, or an officer of high rank among the people.

 51 " Then he would be asked, "Will you sustain the laws of God and also the rights of all man­kind?"

52 and the answer in every in­stance was "yes".

 53 " I saw there that those who were proficient in their classes were advanced more rapidly until they become most profi­cient in their classes were advanced more rapidly until they became most perfect in those heavenly teach­ings, but some males, even there in Heaven would neglect their females and their classes and not meet with them.

 54 They would go off, arm and arm, as men now go, not having any desire for their duties.

 55 I never saw a female leave her place in the class assigned her by the Heavenly powers.

 56 I saw Abraham, when he came back to be crowned.

 57 I saw them step upon the platform of the Gods and receive their crowns, and enter into their exal­tations.

 58 At last I saw the time when Joseph was to go forth, and the voice of the Great Eternal said, "Oh, my neglected daughters, gather around these my faithful servants who have been faithful in teaching you the principles of righteousness and of our king­dom, that others may come up and have the chance to be glori­fied.

 59 " I saw many of them gather around Brigham Young, John Taylor, Wilford Woodruff, and many
other notable ones, and around many who have not be­come so notable.

 60 They formed rings around each of them with Christ in the center each time, for He re­hearsed to them the Covenant.

 61 They would take each other by the hand, in the circle, and bow their faces down to Him, in the center, and in the most sol­emn manner agree to meet them here, until every one of those ne­glected daughters was provided for; and they were filled with such joy that their songs made a paradise of the realm.

 62 At last the time came for me to go to the earth.

 63 The Savior came to me and said, "Mosiah, it is time for you to go, that you may return and be as we are.

 64 " As I beheld Him, I thought, "How is it that I am not as you are now?"

65 For it seemed that I knew nothing of the earth of the changes a probation there would make in me.

 66 However, I said, "Who will go down to that earth, and be my father, and help me that I may be brought in the ways of righteous­ness?"

67 A male by the name of Levi stepped forth, in the presence of the Son, and said "I will go down to yonder earth, and by the help of the Great Eter­nal, I will try to do as well by you as you have done for me, for I am grateful to you for all your kindness to me.

 68 " He returned to his place, being an in­structor of a class.

 69 I was one among others who was appointed to instruct him and the other teachers of classes.

 70 A female came out of the class and bowing
be­fore the Savior and me, said, "I will go down and be your mother.

 71 " In a short time the man dis­appeared and was immediately followed by the woman.

 72 I knew my departure was near at hand and I asked, "If on my return I could h ave the same position I then held.

 73 " Then the Savior said, Yes, and greater, but you have to go down to the earth, and take a lowly position and be misunder­stood by man, even you brethren and endure many hardships and set many examples of humility and patience, that you may return and enter the glory, even such as I have.

 74 " he then added, "Your time is now come to take you mission to the earth," and He laid His hands on my head, as He had done to others, and set me apart for that important mission.

 75 He again said to me, "I will see you safely through until you return again.

 76 I fully believe on that prom­ise.

 77 (Note 3) It seemed as though a way was opened before me, and I dived down toward the earth with the speed of lightening and awoke while sailing thru space.

 78 The end.

The following quote is often lifted out of context of many other doctrinally valid points to justify the historical revisionism going on in the Church today regarding the black race of Cain: You will see people possessed of different spirits; but I will say to you what I have heretofore frequently said, and what brother Joseph Smith has said, and what the Scripture teaches, your spirits when they came to take tabernacles were pure and holy, and prepared to receive knowledge, wisdom, and instruction, and to be taught while in the flesh; so that every son and daughter of Adam, if they would apply their minds to wisdom, and magnify their callings and improve upon every grace and means given them, would have tickets for the boxes, to use brother Hyde's figure, instead of going into the pit. There is no spirit but what was pure and holy when it came here from the celestial world. There is no spirit among the human family that was begotten in hell; none that were begotten by angels, or by any inferior being. They were not produced by any being less than our Father in heaven. He is the Father of our spirits; and if we could know, understand, and do His will, every soul would be prepared to return back into His presence. And when they get there, they would see that they had formerly lived there for ages, that they had previously been acquainted with every nook and corner, with the palaces, walks, and gardens; and they would embrace their Father, and He would embrace them and say, "My son, my daughter, I have you again;" and the child would say, "O my Father, my Father, I am here again."(Journal of Discourses, 26 vols., 4:, p.269)

 

What is the reason for this condition, we ask, and I find it to my satisfaction to think that as spirit children of our Eternal Father they were not valiant in the fight. We are told that Michael and his angels fought, and we understand that we stood with Christ our Lord, on the platform, "Father, thy will be done, and the glory be thine forever." I cannot conceive our Father consigning his children to a condition such as that of the negro race, if they had been valiant in the spirit world in that war in heaven. Neither could they have been a part of those who rebelled and were cast down, for the latter had not the privilege of tabernacling in the flesh. Somewhere along the line were these spirits, indifferent perhaps, and possibly neutral in the war. We have no definite knowledge concerning this. But I learn this lesson from it, brethren and sisters, and I believe we all should, that it does not pay in religious matters, matters that pertain to our eternal salvation, to be indifferent, neutral, or lukewarm. he Lord, through one of his servants, addressing the angel of the church of the Laodiceans, said:  (Elder George F. Richards, Conference Report, April 1939, Second Day-Morning Meeting, p.59)

 

The Curse Continued Through Ham's Posterity

 

(The Curse Continued Through Ham's Posterity

)

 

(The Curse Continued Through Ham's Posterity

1)

 

It is generally believed that the curse placed on Cain was continued in his posterity and that through the seed of Ham this curse was brought through the flood. Since Ham was the son of Noah, we must conclude that it was not Ham who had the black skin and was a descendant of Cain. However, there is in the Church the general belief that Ham married a woman who was a descendant of Cain, and in this way the curse of Cain was continued after the flood in Ham's posterity. Some of the brethren who were associated with the Prophet Joseph Smith have declared that he taught this doctrine. That the wife of Ham was a descendant of Cain seems to be embodied in the following passages in the Book of Abraham:

 

Now this king of Egypt was a descendant from the loins of Ham, and was a partaker of the blood of the Canaanites by birth.

 

From this descent sprang all the Egyptians, and thus the blood of the Canaanites was preserved in the land.

 

The land of Egypt being first discovered by a woman, who was the daughter of Ham, and the daughter of Egyptus, which in the Chaldean signifies Egypt, which signifies that which is forbidden.

 

When this woman discovered the land it was under water, who afterwards settled her sons in it; and thus, from Ham, sprang the race which preserved the curse in the land.-Abraham 1:21-24.

 

 

(Joseph Fielding Smith, The Way to Perfection, p.103-104)

 

Egyptus

 

(Egyptus

)

 

(Egyptus

1)

 

We see that the wife of Ham was named Egyptus, which name signifies "that which is forbidden." We know it was the custom in those early times to give to children names conveying a definite meaning based upon some striking event connected with birth or early life, or to point out and fix attention on some peculiarity of character or habit which they may have formed. Frequently, in later life, names were changed because some outstanding event in or characteristic of the life of the individual was discovered. In this manner the name of Esau was changed. At his birth he was called Esau because he was covered with "an hairy garment," but later in life when he sold his birthright his name was changed to Edom because of that event, and his descendants were known as Edomites. So it appears very probable that Egyptus was so named because she partook of the curse of her fathers. Moreover, this thought is strengthened in the statement that from Ham sprang the race which preserved the curse in the land. The implication seems to be very strong that this curse preserved through the seed of Ham was a curse which came from the other side of the flood. Elder B. H. Roberts several years ago discussed this question as follows:

 

Now, why is it that the seed of Ham was cursed as pertaining to the Priesthood? Why is it that his seed "could not have right to the Priesthood?" Ham's wife was named "Egyptus," which in the Chaldean signifies Egypt, which signifies that which is forbidden; * * * and thus from Ham sprang the race which preserved the curse in the land." Was the wife of Ham, as her name signifies, of a race with which those who held the Priesthood were forbidden to intermarry? Was she a descendant of Cain, who was cursed for murdering his brother? And was it by Ham marrying her, and she being saved from the flood in the ark, that "the race which preserved the curse in the land" was perpetuated? If so, then I believe that race is the one through which it is ordained those spirits that were not valiant in the great rebellion in heaven should come; who, through their indifference or lack of integrity to righteousness, rendered themselves unworthy of the Priesthood and its powers, and hence it is withheld from them to this day.-Contributor 6:297.

Vision of the Pre-existance and the Mark of Cain

Definitive discourse of the curse of Cain, what is the mark of Cain, the reasons for this curse and why Israel should not associate but "be ye separate", saith the Lord.

Vision of the Pre-existance and the Mark of Cain

A Vision of Hell

Souls of wicked are tormented and destroyed by hoards of beings. NDE of Howard Storm, an atheist. Joseph Smith's experience with this power arrayed against the righteous. "By this time it was almost complete darkness, and I had the sense that instead of there being twenty or thirty, there were an innumerable host of them. Each one seemed set on coming in for the sport they got from hurting me. My attempts to fight back only provoked greater merriment. They began to physically humiliate me in the most degrading ways. As I continued to fight on and on, I was aware that they weren't in any hurry to win. They were playing with me just as a cat plays with a mouse. Every new assault brought howls of cacophony. Then at some point, they began to tear off pieces of my flesh. To my horror I realized I was being taken apart and eaten alive, slowly, so that their entertainment would last as long a possible. At no time did I ever have any sense that the beings who seduced and attacked me were anything other than human beings. The best way I can describe them is to think of the worst imaginable person stripped of every impulse to do good. Some of them seemed to be able to tell others what to do, but I had no sense of any structure or hierarchy in an organizational sense. They didn't appear to be controlled or directed by anyone. Basically they were a mob of beings totally driven by unbridled cruelty and passions. During our struggle I noticed that they seemed to feel no pain. Other than that they appeared to possess no special nonhuman or superhuman abilities. Although during my initial experience with them I assumed that they were clothed, in our intimate physical contact I never felt any clothing whatsoever." Howard Storm. "...immediately I was seized upon by some power which entirely overcame me...to bind my tongue so that I could not speak. ...it seemed to me for a time as if I were doomed to sudden destruction." (Joseph Smith; JS-H 1:15)

 

 4 And I would not that ye think that I know of myself--not of the temporal but of the spiritual, not of the carnal mind but of God.
 5 Now, behold, I say unto you, if I had not been born of God I should not have known these things; but God has, by the mouth of his holy angel, made these things known unto me, not of any worthiness of myself;
 6 For I went about with the sons of Mosiah, seeking to destroy the church of God; but behold, God sent his holy angel to stop us by the way.
 7 And behold, he spake unto us, as it were the voice of thunder, and the whole earth did tremble beneath our feet; and we all fell to the earth, for the fear of the Lord came upon us.
 8 But behold, the voice said unto me: Arise. And I arose and stood up, and beheld the angel.
 9 And he said unto me: If thou wilt of thyself be destroyed, seek no more to destroy the church of God.
 10 And it came to pass that I fell to the earth; and it was for the space of three days and three nights that I could not open my mouth, neither had I the use of my limbs.
 11 And the angel spake more things unto me, which were heard by my brethren, but I did not hear them; for when I heard the words--If thou wilt be destroyed of thyself, seek no more to destroy the church of God--I was struck with such great fear and amazement lest perhaps I should be destroyed, that I fell to the earth and I did hear no more.
 12 But I was racked with eternal torment, for my soul was harrowed up to the greatest degree and racked with all my sins.
 13 Yea, I did remember all my sins and iniquities, for which I was tormented with the pains of hell; yea, I saw that I had rebelled against my God, and that I had not kept his holy commandments.
 14 Yea, and I had murdered many of his children, or rather led them away unto destruction; yea, and in fine so great had been my iniquities, that the very thought of coming into the presence of my God did rack my soul with inexpressible horror.
 15 Oh, thought I, that I could be banished and become extinct both soul and body, that I might not be brought to stand in the presence of my God, to be judged of my deeds.
 16 And now, for three days and for three nights was I racked, even with the pains of a damned soul.
 17 And it came to pass that as I was thus racked with torment, while I was harrowed up by the memory of my many sins, behold, I remembered also to have heard my father prophesy unto the people concerning the coming of one Jesus Christ, a Son of God, to atone for the sins of the world.
 18 Now, as my mind caught hold upon this thought, I cried within my heart: O Jesus, thou Son of God, have mercy on me, who am in the gall of bitterness, and am encircled about by the everlasting chains of death.
 19 And now, behold, when I thought this, I could remember my pains no more; yea, I was harrowed up by the memory of my sins no more.
 20 And oh, what joy, and what marvelous light I did behold; yea, my soul was filled with joy as exceeding as was my pain!
 21 Yea, I say unto you, my son, that there could be nothing so exquisite and so bitter as were my pains. Yea, and again I say unto you, my son, that on the other hand, there can be nothing so exquisite and sweet as was my joy.
 22 Yea, methought I saw, even as our father Lehi saw, God sitting upon his throne, surrounded with numberless concourses of angels, in the attitude of singing and praising their God; yea, and my soul did long to be there.
 23 But behold, my limbs did receive their strength again, and I stood upon my feet, and did manifest unto the people that I had been born of God.
 24 Yea, and from that time even until now, I have labored without ceasing, that I might bring souls unto repentance; that I might bring them to taste of the exceeding joy of which I did taste; that they might also be born of God, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.

   (Alma  36:4-24)

 

Before his near-death experience, Howard Storm, a Professor of Art at Northern Kentucky University, was not a very pleasant man. He was an avowed atheist and was hostile to every form of religion and those who practiced it. He often would use rage to control everyone around him and he didn't find joy in anything. Anything that wasn't seen, touched or felt, he had no faith in. He knew with certainty that the material world was the full extent of everything that was. He considered all belief systems associated with religion to be fantasies for people to deceive themselves with. Beyond what science said, there was nothing else. On June 1, 1985, at the age of 38, Howard Storm's had a near-death experience due to a perforation of the stomach and his life was since forever changed. His near-death experience is one of the most profound, if not the most profound, afterlife experience I have ever documented. His life was so immensely changed after his near-death experience, he resigned as a professor and devoted his time attending the United Theological Seminary to become a United Church of Christ minister. Hours ago, I had hoped to die and end the torment of life. Now things were worse as I was forced by a mob of unfriendly and cruel people toward some unknown destination in the darkness. They began shouting and hurling insults at me, demanding that I hurry along. And they refused to answer any question. Finally, I told them that I wouldn't go any farther. At that time they changed completely. They became much more aggressive and insisted that I was going with them. A number of them began to push and shove me, and I responded by hitting back at them. A wild orgy of frenzied taunting, screaming and hitting ensued. I fought like a wild man. All the while it was obvious that they were having great fun. It seemed to be, almost, a game for them, with me as the center-piece of their amusement. My pain became their pleasure. They seemed to want to make me hurt - by clawing at me and biting me. Whenever I would get one off me, there were five more to replace the one. By this time it was almost complete darkness, and I had the sense that instead of there being twenty or thirty, there were an innumerable host of them. Each one seemed set on coming in for the sport they got from hurting me. My attempts to fight back only provoked greater merriment. They began to physically humiliate me in the most degrading ways. As I continued to fight on and on, I was aware that they weren't in any hurry to win. They were playing with me just as a cat plays with a mouse. Every new assault brought howls of cacophony. Then at some point, they began to tear off pieces of my flesh. To my horror I realized I was being taken apart and eaten alive, slowly, so that their entertainment would last as long a possible. At no time did I ever have any sense that the beings who seduced and attacked me were anything other than human beings. The best way I can describe them is to think of the worst imaginable person stripped of every impulse to do good. Some of them seemed to be able to tell others what to do, but I had no sense of any structure or hierarchy in an organizational sense. They didn't appear to be controlled or directed by anyone. Basically they were a mob of beings totally driven by unbridled cruelty and passions. During our struggle I noticed that they seemed to feel no pain. Other than that they appeared to possess no special nonhuman or superhuman abilities. Although during my initial experience with them I assumed that they were clothed, in our intimate physical contact I never felt any clothing whatsoever. Fighting well and hard for a long time, ultimately I was spent. Lying there exhausted amongst them, they began to calm down since I was no longer the amusement that I had been. Most of the beings gave up in disappointment because I was no longer amusing, but a few still picked and gnawed at me and ridiculed me for no longer being any fun. By this time I had been pretty much taken apart. People were still picking at me, occasionally, and I just lay there all torn up, unable to resist. Exactly what happened was ... and I'm not going to try and explain this. From inside of me I felt a voice, my voice, say: "Pray to God." My mind responded to that: "I don't pray. I don't know how to pray." This is a guy lying on the ground in the darkness surrounded by what appeared to be dozens if not hundreds and hundreds of vicious creatures who had just torn him up. The situation seemed utterly hopeless, and I seemed beyond any possible help whether I believed in God or not. The voice again told me to pray to God. It was a dilemma since I didn't know how. The voice told me a third time to pray to God. I started saying things like: "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want ... God bless America .." and anything else that seemed to have a religious connotation. And these people went into a frenzy, as if I had thrown boiling oil all over them. They began yelling and screaming at me, telling me to quit, that there was no God, and no one could hear me. While they screamed and yelled obscenities, they also began backing away from me - as if I were poison. As they were retreating, they became more rabid, cursing and screaming that what I was saying was worthless and that I was a coward. I screamed back at them: "Our Father who art in heaven," and similar ideas. This continued for some time until, suddenly, I was aware that they had left. It was dark, and I was alone yelling things that sounded churchy. It was pleasing to me that these churchy sayings had such an effect on those awful beings. Lying there for a long time, I was in such a state of hopelessness, and blackness, and despair, that I had no way of measuring how long it was. I was just lying there in an unknown place - all torn and ripped. And I had no strength; it was all gone. It seemed as if I were sort of fading out, that any effort on my part would expend the last energy I had. My conscious sense was that I was perishing, or just sinking into the darkness. Then a most unusual thing happened. I heard very clearly, once again in my own voice, something that I had learned in nursery Sunday School. It was the little song: "Jesus loves me, yes I know ..." and it kept repeating. I don't know why, but all of a sudden I wanted to believe that. Not having anything left, I wanted to cling to that thought. And ... and I, inside, screamed: "Jesus, please save me." That thought was screamed with every ounce of strength and feeling left in me. When I did that, I saw, off in the darkness somewhere, the tiniest little star. Not knowing what it was, I presumed it must be a comet or a meteor, because it was moving rapidly. Then I realized it was coming toward me. It was getting very bright, rapidly. When the light came near, its radiance spilled over me, and I just rose up - not with my effort - I just lifted up. Then I saw - and I saw this very plainly - I saw all my wounds, all my tears, all my brokenness, melt away. And I became whole in this radiance. What I did was to cry uncontrollably. I was crying, not out of sadness, but because I was feeling things that I had never felt before in my life. Another thing happened. Suddenly I knew a whole bunch of things. I knew things ... I knew that this light, this radiance, knew me. I don't know how to explain to you that I knew it knew me, I just did. As a matter of fact, I understood that it knew me better than my mother or father did. The luminous entity that embraced me knew me intimately and began to communicate a tremendous sense of knowledge. I knew that he knew everything about me and I was being unconditionally loved and accepted. The light conveyed to me that it loved me in a way that I can't begin to express. It loved me in a way that I had never known that love could possibly be. He was a concentrated field of energy, radiant in splendor indescribable, except to say goodness and love. This was more loving than one can imagine. I knew that this radiant being was powerful. It was making me feel so good all over. I could feel its light on me - like very gentle hands around me. And I could feel it holding me. But it was loving me with overwhelming power. After what I had been through to be completely known, accepted, and intensely loved by this Being of light surpassed anything I had known or could have imagined. I began to cry and the tears kept coming and coming. And we, I and this light, went up and out of there. We started going faster and faster, out of the darkness. Embraced by the light, feeling wonderful and crying, I saw off in the distance something that looked like the picture of a galaxy, except that it was larger and there were more stars than I had seen on earth. There was a great center of brilliance. In the center there was an enormously bright concentration. Outside the center countless millions of spheres of light were flying about entering and leaving what was a great Beingness at the center. It was off in the distance. Then I ... I didn't say it, I thought it. I said: "Put me back." What I meant by telling the light to put me back, was to put me back into the pit. I was so ashamed of who I was, and what I had been all of my life, that all I wanted to do was hide in the darkness. I didn't want to go toward the light anymore - I did; yet I didn't. How many times in my life had I denied and scoffed at the reality before me, and how many thousands of times had I used it as a curse. What incredible intellectual arrogance to use the name as an insult. I was afraid to go closer. I was also aware that the incredible intensity of the emanations might disintegrate what I still experienced as my intact physical body. The being who was supporting me, my friend, was aware of my fear and reluctance and shame. For the first time he spoke to my mind in a male voice and told me that if I was uncomfortable we didn't have to go closer. So we stopped where we were, still countless miles away from the Great Being. For the first time, my friend, and I will refer to him in that context hereafter, said to me: "You belong here." (My "friend" was none other than Jesus Christ.) Facing all the splendor made me acutely aware of my lowly condition. My response was: "No, you've made a mistake, put me back." And he said: "We don't make mistakes. You belong."

Sir Isaac Newtion, Return of the Jews, Daniel, Revelation of John, and Which Church is Right?

Sir Isaac Newton and Which Church is Right?

Numerology of Newton, successfully predicted the date of the return of the Jews to Palestine, aided by Kings of Europe. "The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended and Observations upon the Prophecies of Daniel and the Apocalyse of St. John" is in agreement with

The Revelations of Jesus Christ, received by Art Bulla. As Newton wrote: "And in that day there shall be a root of Jess{e} wch shall stand for an ensign of the people, to it shall ye Gentiles seek5(Rom 15. 12)4& his rest shall be glorious. 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 wch shall be left, from Assyria & from Egypt."62 As Newton himself indicates, these words, including those he underlined, are from Isaiah 11:10^11. Thus, with the imprimatur of this pivotal locus biblicus, he refers elsewhere to the ``double return'' of Israel to their land.63 Signi¢cantly, this paraphrase from Isaiah 11:11 even made it into his published Observations. With the foundation principles and implications of the Abrahamic Covenant and the double return laid down, Newton could then go on to build an elaborate prophetic edi¢ce detailing the causes, conditions and ful¢lment of the Jewish captivity and Restoration. ``The Mystery of this Restitution of All Things'' 101A (S. Snobelen) Mormons reproved for being a cult, blind followers of the blind. Recounting of experience of Joseph Smith in answer to question: Which Church is Right?

Sir Isaac Newton and Which Church is Right?

Numerology of Newton, successfully predicted the date of the return of the Jews to Palestine, aided by Kings of Europe. "The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended and Observations upon the Prophecies of Daniel and the Apocalyse of St. John" is in agreement with The Revelations of Jesus Christ, received by Art Bulla. As Newton wrote: And in that day there shall be a root of Jess{e} wch shall stand for an ensign of the people, to it shall ye Gentiles seek5(Rom 15. 12)4& his rest shall be glorious.

Legal Administrator Necessary

There is no salvation between the two lids of the Bible without a legal administrator. Jesus was then the legal administrator, and ordained His Apostles. (Joseph Smith, TPJS) Now in mortalilty, is the One Mighty and Strong, saith the Lord.

 

17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. 18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized. (Acts 9:17-18)

 

No wonder the angel told good old Cornelius that he must send for Peter to learn how to be saved: Peter could baptize, and angels could not, so long as there were legal officers in the flesh holding the keys of the kingdom, or the authority of the priesthood. There is one evidence still further on this point, and that is that Jesus himself when he appeared to Paul on his way to Damascus, did not inform him how he could be saved. He had set in the church first Apostles, and secondly prophets, for the work of the ministry, perfecting the saints, etc.; and as the grand rule of heaven was that nothing should ever be done on earth without revealing the secret to his servants the prophets, agreeably to Amos 3:7, so Paul could not learn so much from the Lord relative to his duty in the common salvation of man, as he could from one of Christ's ambassadors called with the same heavenly calling of the Lord, and endowed with the same power from on high-so that what they loosed on earth, should be loosed in heaven; and what they bound on earth should be bound in heaven: He, the Lord being a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek, and the anointed Son of God, from before the foundation of the world, and they the begotten sons of Jesus through the gospel, to teach all nations (Joseph Smith)

 

Paul, even after encountering the Lord himself in vision on the road to Damascus, still had the necessity of a legal adminstrator, Ananias, in mortality, for salvation, who administered the ordinance of Baptism for a remission of sins. The OMS now has the keys of these things, saith the Lord.

 

Conversion of Alma the Younger, similar in effect to that of Paul on the road to Damascus:

 

 10 And now it came to pass that while he was going about to destroy the church of God, for he did go about secretly with the sons of Mosiah seeking to destroy the church, and to lead astray the people of the Lord, contrary to the commandments of God, or even the king--
 11 And as I said unto you, as they were going about rebelling against God, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto them; and he descended as it were in a cloud; and he spake as it were with a voice of thunder, which caused the earth to shake upon which they stood;
 12 And so great was their astonishment, that they fell to the earth, and understood not the words which he spake unto them.
 13 Nevertheless he cried again, saying: Alma, arise and stand forth, for why persecutest thou the church of God? For the Lord hath said: This is my church, and I will establish it; and nothing shall overthrow it, save it is the transgression of my people.
 14 And again, the angel said: Behold, the Lord hath heard the prayers of his people, and also the prayers of his servant, Alma, who is thy father; for he has prayed with much faith concerning thee that thou mightest be brought to the knowledge of the truth; therefore, for this purpose have I come to convince thee of the power and authority of God, that the prayers of his servants might be answered according to their faith.
 15 And now behold, can ye dispute the power of God? For behold, doth not my voice shake the earth? And can ye not also behold me before you? And I am sent from God.
 16 Now I say unto thee: Go, and remember the captivity of thy fathers in the land of Helam, and in the land of Nephi; and remember how great things he has done for them; for they were in bondage, and he has delivered them. And now I say unto thee, Alma, go thy way, and seek to destroy the church no more, that their prayers may be answered, and this even if thou wilt of thyself be cast off.
 17 And now it came to pass that these were the last words which the angel spake unto Alma, and he departed.
 18 And now Alma and those that were with him fell again to the earth, for great was their astonishment; for with their own eyes they had beheld an angel of the Lord; and his voice was as thunder, which shook the earth; and they knew that there was nothing save the power of God that could shake the earth and cause it to tremble as though it would part asunder.
 19 And now the astonishment of Alma was so great that he became dumb, that he could not open his mouth; yea, and he became weak, even that he could not move his hands; therefore he was taken by those that were with him, and carried helpless, even until he was laid before his father.
 20 And they rehearsed unto his father all that had happened unto them; and his father rejoiced, for he knew that it was the power of God.
 21 And he caused that a multitude should be gathered together that they might witness what the Lord had done for his son, and also for those that were with him.
 22 And he caused that the priests should assemble themselves together; and they began to fast, and to pray to the Lord their God that he would open the mouth of Alma, that he might speak, and also that his limbs might receive their strength--that the eyes of the people might be opened to see and know of the goodness and glory of God.
 23 And it came to pass after they had fasted and prayed for the space of two days and two nights, the limbs of Alma received their strength, and he stood up and began to speak unto them, bidding them to be of good comfort:
 24 For, said he, I have repented of my sins, and have been redeemed of the Lord; behold I am born of the Spirit.
 25 And the Lord said unto me: Marvel not that all mankind, yea, men and women, all nations, kindreds, tongues and people, must be born again; yea, born of God, changed from their carnal and fallen state, to a state of righteousness, being redeemed of God, becoming his sons and daughters;
 26 And thus they become new creatures; and unless they do this, they can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God.
 27 I say unto you, unless this be the case, they must be cast off; and this I know, because I was like to be cast off.
 28 Nevertheless, after wading through much tribulation, repenting nigh unto death, the Lord in mercy hath seen fit to snatch me out of an everlasting burning, and I am born of God.
 29 My soul hath been redeemed from the gall of bitterness and bonds of iniquity. I was in the darkest abyss; but now I behold the marvelous light of God. My soul was racked with eternal torment; but I am snatched, and my soul is pained no more.
 30 I rejected my Redeemer, and denied that which had been spoken of by our fathers; but now that they may foresee that he will come, and that he remembereth every creature of his creating, he will make himself manifest unto all.
 31 Yea, every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess before him. Yea, even at the last day, when all men shall stand to be judged of him, then shall they confess that he is God; then shall they confess, who live without God in the world, that the judgment of an everlasting punishment is just upon them; and they shall quake, and tremble, and shrink beneath the glance of his all-searching eye.
 32 And now it came to pass that Alma began from this time forward to teach the people, and those who were with Alma at the time the angel appeared unto them, traveling round about through all the land, publishing to all the people the things which they had heard and seen, and preaching the word of God in much tribulation, being greatly persecuted by those who were unbelievers, being smitten by many of them.
 33 But notwithstanding all this, they did impart much consolation to the church, confirming their faith, and exhorting them with long-suffering and much travail to keep the commandments of God.
 34 And four of them were the sons of Mosiah; and their names were Ammon, and Aaron, and Omner, and Himni; these were the names of the sons of Mosiah.
 35 And they traveled throughout all the land of Zarahemla, and among all the people who were under the reign of king Mosiah, zealously striving to repair all the injuries which they had done to the church, confessing all their sins, and publishing all the things which they had seen, and explaining the prophecies and the scriptures to all who desired to hear them.
 36 And thus they were instruments in the hands of God in bringing many to the knowledge of the truth, yea, to the knowledge of their Redeemer.
 37 And how blessed are they! For they did publish peace; they did publish good tidings of good; and they did declare unto the people that the Lord reigneth.
