The One Mighty and Strong (Messiah to Ephraim, saith the Lord) also predicted in scripture to be cut off, or “excommunicated” by the chief rulers (“scornful men that rule over my people”-see Isaiah 28).

The Lord says the stone that Daniel specifically saw is not Jesus, nor the Church, but the  One Mighty and Strong, who is Messiah to Ephraim.   Ephraim have been “gathered out upon the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine”-Isa 28 in the mountains. These scornful men also rejected him as the Jews did Jesus, who was also a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense to the Jews, these two “stones”, are my rulers, saith the Lord of the whole earth, even my Father, who is Adam, the Ancient of Days who shall sit upon his throne as Governor of the whole earth.

42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?  (Matt 21:42)

11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.  (Acts 4:11)

26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion (in America) the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob (Ephraim, not the Jews):  (Rom 11:26)

4 To whom coming, [as unto] a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, [and] precious,  (1 Pet 2:4)

14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.  (Isa 8:14)

16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner [stone], a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.  (Isa 28:16)

“Now, when will the Lord's time come to vex the nations, &c.? It is not for me to say; yet it would be a time very opportune, when the nation shall begin to dictate to an organized State or Territory in matters of their own internal policy and municipal regulations. When we were in distress and trouble, the nation had no power to help us; but when we attempt to help ourselves and to rid our community of lying and corrupt men, then the nation can send her armies against us. Well, be it so. It is all right, and will hasten the downfall of the mighty image of Nebuchadnezzar; and the power that falls upon "this stone" will be broken, and the stone rejected by the builders will become the head of the corner.”  (Journal of Discourses, 26 vols., 5:, p.141)

The Excommunication of Jesus the Christ:

And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself; . . . (King

James Bible, Daniel 9:26)

After the sixty-two sevens, the Anointed One will be cut off and will have nothing. (New International

Bible, Daniel 9:25)

. . . seven of those seventy will pass till the appearance of one anointed, a prince...after

the sixty-two have passed, the anointed prince will be removed, and no one will take his part.

(Oxford Study Bible, Daniel 9:25, p. 926)

Some Bibles actually translate the original Greek words into the English word "excommunication"

pertaining to Jesus and His disciples. Most of the people lived in fear of the Pharisees, knowing

that they, too, might be "cast out" or excommunicated from the church. Jesus was already a marked man when He was born in the meridian of time. (The devil tried to destroy me as well the day before I was born.) Many innocent children

were murdered in Herod's effort to kill Him. Not only was He persecuted, smitten and tried by the

law of the gentiles, He was also rejected "of His own." 

7  He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

8  He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation?  for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

9  And he made his grave with the wicked... Isaiah 53:7 - 9

"But we ask, does it remain for a people who never had faith enough to call down one scrap of revelation from heaven, and for all they have now are indebted to the faith of another people...does it remain for them to say how much God has spoken and how much He has not spoken?"  Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Section Two 1834-37 Pg.60

 Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Section Six 1843-44 Pg.365
   When a man goes about prophesying, and commands men to obey his teachings, he must either be a true or false prophet.

 "All men are liars who say they are of the true Church without the revelations of Jesus Christ and the Priesthood of Melchizedek, which is after the order of the Son of God."  Joseph Smith; TPJS p. 376

"He that can mark the power of Omnipotence, inscribed upon the heavens, can also see God's own handwriting in the sacred volume: and he who reads it oftenest will like it best, and he who is acquainted with it, will know the hand wherever he can see it...." (T.P.J.S., p. 56)

·         10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. (New Testament | Galatians 1:10 - 12)
