The Revelations of Jesus Christ

 

Revelation to Chris Congdon. Rebuke of priestcrafts among men.  Received December 9, 2010, Baja, Mexico.

 

  Thus saith the Lord unto my servant as he is known among men, Chris Congdon, it is I  the Lord that speak unto thee through the medium of mine appointment, established by an oath and a covenant which cannot be moved neither broken.  Verily saith the Lord, those who seek to climb up some other way than the door of the sheepfold is cast out as a thief and a robber, and those who seek to invent unto themselves another than that which is ordained shall also be cast off if they do not repent.  Yea, those who attempt to take of this and take of that system or teaching to accrue to themselves, to set themselves up as a light, but seek not the welfare of Zion, saith the Lord, are in danger of the judgment if they do not repent.  For this is what was known anciently as priestcraft and is one of the pillars that uphold the kingdom of mine adversary, even Idumea or the world and the prince thereof. Men take unto themselves authority they do not possess, for did I not say in your law that no man taketh this honor unto himself except he is called and ordained as was Aaron?  And how was Aaron called, saith the Lord?  Wast it not by  the voice, even of a prophet in the flesh, yea, even Moses mine anointed?  But this was not all, wast not Aaron, saith the Lord, ordained by the laying on of the hands of Moses also?  And there is never but one on the earth who has the keys of these things, saith the Lord, even the keys of eternal life as Melchizedek of old.  Therefore they who attempt to go around, below, above or beside this gate by digging or climbing, studying, inventing, marginalizing or otherwise plotting for themselves, for their own aggrandizement, they are thieves and robbers and shall be cast off if they do not repent and come in at the gate without stubbornness of heart?  I the Lord thy God say unto thee yea, and they all shall be thrust down to hell if they repent not. For I the Lord God am more quick than ye can possibly imagine in detecting every evil way, but at the same time am more liberal and magnanimous to those who believe and obey my will than can possibly be imagined in the heart of man.   Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. But the height and depth of the suffering of them that reject him, no man knoweth unless he be made a partaker thereof.  Therefore beware concerning yourselves, examine yourselves whether ye be in the faith, lest unhappily ye be found on the left hand at the last day, saith the Lord.

 

And it is, saith the Lord, that ye must received his words unto thee as if from mine own mouth, and if he command thee, thou must receive it from me as a little child, meek and submissive or ye shall not enter in to the sheepfold, for verily I say unto thee, straight is the gate and narrow the way which leadeth , even unto my Kingdom, saith the Lord. 

 

And there shall be none other appointed unto you, until he be taken, if he abide in me.  For the keys belong to the Apostleship and none other, and all things must be done according to this order. And he doth hold the keys, even of the Apostleship, saith the Lord. For mine House, saith the Lord, is a house of order and not confusion, and there is an order to the Priesthood, even my Holy Order which ye must adopt and follow in thine appointed place.  Therefore let every man learn his duty and act in the calling appointed unto him through the voice of my Prophet, saith the Lord. For there are many branches, but one head of that vine spoken of, and ye shall receive nourishment from the head of the vine, or ye, saith the Lord, shall be as a branch that was not properly grafted in and thereby cannot be enlarged, but withers and dies and is gathered into bundles with those who also abide not in me through him whom I have appointed as the gate, and burned.

 

Yea, saith the Lord, my thoughts are not your thoughts, and my ways are not your ways, and ye must enter by partaking of the ordinances, and obeying his council in all things pertaining to thy temporal and spiritual salvation, or ye must perish, saith the Lord.  Therefore hearken and obey his words unto thee, and be obedient as a little child, for except ye become as a little child ye can in nowise enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.  And it is because that ye have sought me early, through thy cries unto me, that I have led thee this far, to the gate. And the arm of the Lord shall be revealed; and the day cometh that they who will not hear the voice of the Lord, neither the voice of his servants, neither give heed to the words of the prophets and apostles, shall be cut off from among the people; For they have strayed from mine ordinances, and have broken mine everlasting covenant; They seek not the Lord to establish his righteousness, but every man walketh in his own way, and after the image of his own god, whose image is in the likeness of the world, and whose substance is that of an idol, which waxeth old and shall perish in Babylon, even Babylon the great, which shall fall.  Now ye must enter in according to the manner appointed, yea even the ordinances and receive from him instructions and commandments,  and his words as my words.  Therefore be diligent and learn thy duty, and let every man act in the calling appointed to him and none else.  For ye must come up in the track, for there are the angels and gods standing in the way by whom ye must pass, in in this way an none other can ye enter into my rest, saith the Lord, for we shall be one according to mine Holy Order, or  ye must be cut off.  Even so. It is enough for now.  Amen.

 

“Just wait till you pass Joseph Smith; and after Joseph lets you pass him, you will find Peter; and after you pass the Apostles and many of the Prophets (including the present anointed), you will find Abraham, and he will say, "I have the keys, and except you do thus and so, you cannot pass;" and after a while you come to Jesus; and when you at length meet Father Adam, how strange it will appear to your present notions. If we can pass Joseph and have him say, "Here; you have been faithful, good boys; I hold the keys of this dispensation; I will let you pass;" then we shall be very glad to see the white locks of Father Adam."

            When we "seek first the Kingdom of God" we must try to accomplish the following:

 

A.        The citizens of that government must have the majority, and ultimate rule of their society.

 

B.        The laws of that government must be administered according to the laws of heaven--not from the commercialized world.

 

C.        The Kingdom of God must be built by a righteous people who are gathered primarily for the purpose of building it up temporally and spiritually.

 

D.        The headquarters for the Kingdom of God over all the world will be established at Jerusalem and the New Jerusalem.
