Understanding Languages 1

God that would make his eyes become single to the glory of God, for the which intent, man has been placed on this earth, even the sons of God, that they might have sought pure knowledge and godly righteousness that cometh of God and from God to his covenant children (direct lineal seed of Abraham) from the pre-mortal life unto this life of mortality.

This pure knowledge comes by prophecy and revelation that comes unto his covenant children that comes in an affixed time that is appointedly given, in a time to come, in a time that has come, or in a time that which is present unto righteous men of God by way of the Holy Ghost, angels, the scriptures;

Truths given directly from Christ, and through servants of God who substantiate what has been revealed in times past, present, and future that shall cause the sons of God to obtain and to magnify their eyes single to the glory of God.

This action of magnification is nothing more than obedience to the order after the Son of God that is instilled by the Holy Ghost and bestowed by God for those that keep all his commandments; these men having sought to do the will of God, they not fearing man, and they having not sought their own life for their sakes.

Thus, in accord with heavenly laws committed of God to man in the pre-mortal life, they do these things with such unwearyingness that they are made mighty in speech in the word of God, or that they receive revelation and the power of prophecy is in them.

Wherefore, they do mighty works in the name of God, and they are mighty in word and in the deed of God that they have mighty faith to do mighty works to bring about the salvation of man.

Inasmuch as they do the things of God, or that they do the will of God, that all things they shall do or ask for is done unto them according to the word of God.

Indeed, they ask not for that which is contrary to the will of God.

This action of obedience is not done in ignorance or it is not done in partial obedience to what has been revealed.

Thus, to be obedient, one must learn the ways of God in all celestial compliance, as a telestial or terrestrial action of compliance is not accepted of God.

Wherefore, it behooves man, to come to understanding the knowledge of God and to seek God with all his mind, might and strength.

Now, I will say that there have been men of God in times past who have acquired such a state of holiness that power was given unto them of Christ, they were able to smite the earth with famine and they were able to smite the earth with pestilence unto mighty destruction, and this they did do in accord with the wickedness of the people.

Indeed, the power of God was committed unto them that whatsoever they did in the name of God was sealed in heaven and on earth, and whatsoever thing that was unsealed was unsealed in the heavens and unsealed on the earth that the work of the Father might move forth as was ordained before the foundation of this world.

These men of God were filled with great knowledge unto exceedingly great understanding of the order of God as it pertained to both heaven and earth, and they knew that heaven and earth were inseparably connected, and that nothing but righteousness in God could cause the works of God to move forth as was and is appointedly set before the world wast.

Wherefore, men of God could in the name of Christ command that a building or a temple be rent in twain, and it was done; and if they said unto a mountain, be thou moved or cast down and to become smooth, it was done; and if they said unto a river, be thou moved or stopped, it was done; and if they said, God smite this people because of their wickedness, that it came to pass, and it was done.

They did these things in the name of God because of their faith and great knowledge in things pertaining to the will of God; thus, by their speech and the words that were given them of God, they exercised mighty power in the priesthood that the very things they said, was obedient unto their very command in the name of God.

All languages have a beginning in Adam, our first father, he being the first man being give a language from God, beginning in the Garden of Eden, speaking directly with the Lord Jesus Christ, angels, and messengers sent of God that he might stand in purity before God in all things pertaining to God and his works.

Wherefore, I shall endeavor to fulfill the writings of Moses to that end and to the degree that one cannot begin to miscomprehend the all-knowing capacity of God unless such knowledge is examined from a hidden perspective to bring it to light, and that a righteous man desiring to understand the writings of the prophets in olden times based on language capacity given them, that he might understand the writings of old.

I will say that the English language lacks much in comprehending God, muchless, the people of God, the English language is inferior to the language that God gave to the first man and to godly men of God throughout the ages.

In the latter days, God employed the English language because of the times of the gentile and the fulness thereof that the gentile might know and understand what is given them in holy writ, for that reason a Nephite prophet said that the gentiles shall mock our words.

Wherefore, the gentiles upon receiving such a record by a translation, with the Urim and Thimmin, did not continue to study the writings as they were admonished, rather they sought not the power of the Holy Ghost as they should have unto the unfolding of all the mysteries contained therein.

A portion of some of those mysteries, I shall unfold to the understanding of man, and wherewith a man must look to understand the deeper meaning of the writings of old.

Furthermore, the Bible, is a record of the Judeans containing the Five Books of Moses written in Hebrew, and it also contained, as we know and understand, the New Testament, the writings of the apostles and the prophets of both Testaments. Yet, in the time of Christ and thereafter, the nation of Judah spoke Aramaic, a Northwest Semitic language spoken by all Palestine and the Kingdom of Judah; this language was also spoken by the Christ and his apostles.

The writings of the prophets was maintained by Judah's house those writings were translated from Aramaic into Hebrew and then they were translated into the Greek language into what is now known today as the Bible.

At that time, there were many Hellenistic people or Jews that were called Grecians, for that reason, the Greek translation occurred.

Then from Greek into the German language then that German translation was the Bible then translated again into English.

As a point of record, the word bible is called "Biblia" or a collection of writings; the word "biblios" means papyrus, the writing material, where upon the scriptures were placed or written thereon for recordation.

Thus, translation upon translation has diminished the meaning of what was originally written by the hand of righteous men of God.

Furthermore, "Byblos" was a Phoenician city from whence papyrus was imported in the days of Christ.

As the Nephites called the Bible the writings of the Jew; yet by reading the Book of Mormon, one can understand and conclude that the Plates of Brass did contain also the five Books of Moses written in the Reformed Egyptian.

Then one can surmise that the Plates of Brass writings superseded the writings of the Bible, then the Hebrew translation came from off the Plates of Brass joined to the writings of the apostles.

The keeping of the record was maintained by the tribe of Manasseh, wherein one knows by what is written that the Plates of Brass was taken from Laban and it fell into the hands of Nephi, and the record was carried forth unto the land of promise by the family of Lehi.

Thus, the children of Lehi, or Israel, had wherewith to know and understand God's dealing with his covenant people even from the beginning.

Thus, God provided means that a knowledge of the gospel and God's dealing with his covenant people are contained that Lehi's seed might know how to act before God; but also the seed might know of the prophesies and promises made to the seed in the last days; and by this means, the Plates preserved their language centered on God.

The Book of Mormon, on the golden plates, was written in the Reformed Egyptian and it was translated by the power of God into the English language by Joseph Smith, and then later, it was translated into other languages of the world by men, but it was not translated into the different languages of the world by the Urim and Thummin.

Each translation represents a divergence from the original writings done by men of God that easily creates an atmosphere of the precepts of men destroying any additional understanding and knowledge incumbent of the language the scriptures were written in.

Thus, the Book of Mormon has had over 4,000 changes since the time of Joseph Smith by man.

Understanding the Book of Abraham, the writing evidences also the Egyptian influence, which influence is again the Reformed Egyptian learned by Lehi upon his journey into the land of the Egypt.

In that time, Lehi did journey to Egypt to learn the Reformed Egyptian because the writings on the Plates of Brass were in Reformed Egyptian, therefore, he sought to know the Reformed Egyptian language that he might know of the writings contained on the Plates of Brass.

Furthermore, the Plates of Brass was a compilation of writings by Joseph in Egypt regarding the prophecies and revelations received by our father Joseph concerning his people and what was to befall them to the last days, and it included additional writings found in On (On means Zion).

On is where Abraham went to give gospel information to the Egyptians (Hyksos), also, the Savior spent his youth learning the gospel before he stood in front of Jewish priests at the age of twelve in Jerusalem, and Jeremiah and other prophets went there to learn the Reformed Egyptian as well.

The Doctrine and Covenants is written in a form of the English language different than the English that is used today, wherefore, it is foreign to most people who read the Doctrine and Covenants.

Indeed, much truth is hidden in the Books of Isaiah, Revelation, and most of the Old Testament, and the writings are not read by the gentiles. When translations occur from languages foreign to English, those languages always carry a different meaning and not the same meaning, i.e., the word in English for "car" is not "automobile", "ride", "truck", or even "Ford-Chevy" as most Americans would say.

Rather, the word car is a shorten version of the word "carriage", but for anyone to know and understand that meaning, a person would have to have linguistic capacity in language with a knowledge of the history of the American automobile.

Likewise, in the Navajo language the word "Chidi" does not mean the English word "car" though people will say that that is what it means.

Rather, "Chidi" is a shorten version of the original word describing what the first Navajo saw, a model "T" Ford crossing the Navajo Indian reservation.

One can only imagine the describer coming home saying something like: "I saw something on four legs, a man sitting in front, holding onto something round, the color of black, and making a sound of Chi-Chi-Chi", hence the word "Chidi" (the shorten version of the word phrase remaining) and then large portion of the original word description are dropped (I saw something on four legs,

A man sitting in front, holding onto something round, the color of black, and making...), leaving only "chidi".

The literal translation is "the one that sounds" or the last "i" means "the one that" and the "chi" means "sound". That does not translate into car.

Navajo is a very symbolic and descriptive language; and so is Hebrew and the Reformed Egyptian as compared to the English language.

Therefore, meaning is lost in every translation as described herein above.

To that end, translation in meaning is lost from Hebrew into the Greek translation, though portions of the literal translation remained, i.e., in Hosea 1:3-11: So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore a son.

Then the Lord said unto him: "call his name Jezreel, for in a little while I will avenge the bloodshed of Jezreel on the house of Jehu, and bring an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel. (2 Kings 10:11) It shall come to pass in that day that I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel." (2 Kings 15:29) And she conceived again and bore a daughter.

Then the Lord said to him: "Call her name Lo-Ruhamah, for I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel but I will utterly take them away."

(The literal Hebrew translation is "No Mercy, or That I may forgive them at all") (2 Kings 17:6)

"Yet I will have mercy on the house of Judah, will save them by the Lord their God, and will not save them by bows, nor by sword or battle, by horses or horsemen."

Now when she had weaned Lo-Ruhamah, she conceived and bore a son.

Then God said: "Call his name Lo-Ammi, for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God." (The literal Hebrew translation is "Not-my-people")
