Understanding Languages 2

"Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or numbered.

And it shall come to pass in the place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' there it shall be said to them, you are sons of the living God". (Genesis 22; 32:12) Then the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall be gathered together, and appoint for themselves the head; and they shall come out of the land, for great shall be the day of Jezreel!

(Isaiah 11:11-13) (There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots (Isaiah 4:2), (Zechariah 6:12-15), (Doctrines and Covenants 113), (2 Nephi 3:2), (Doctrines and Covenants 85), (3 Nephi 16 & 20), (Romans 11), and (Malachi 3-4): say to your brethren, 'My people' and to your sisters, 'Mercy is shown.' Or Ruhamah-Ammi!

For thus saith the things written by them of old and all writings are consistent, for like one unto another, they wrote the things written clarifying or making manifest by pure language that which hath been written by them of old, and they all looked forth to the future.

Indeed, translation after translation by them who know not the things of God as it pertains to the report or to the true doctrines of Christ given for his covenant people that which was given through a pure language, which language cometh of the priesthood of God to such a people, cannot be free of mistranslation and precepts of men.

Thus, many plain and precious parts of the writings by holy men of God have been lost.

Therefore, since all words in Navajo are verbs, it depends on a proclitic or an enclitical ending before or after a word that determines the word to be a noun, an indefinite pronoun, an adverbs, or any other part of speech, that are considered parts of speech in the English grammar.

In understanding the language of Isaiah, the Book of Mormon, or the scriptural words of God, equivalents do not give or provide a full understanding as is required in understanding the scriptures.

For example, the word "sincere" in English means according to the Webster Dictionary to be truthful or without deceit, but further investigation of the word's origin and a linguistic consideration, "sincere" is a combination of two words, "sin" and "cera" that means respectively, "without" and "wax".

In the markets of ancient Roman, the Latium craftsmen would sell statutes of marble, and the buyers would ask "sin-cera" meaning without wax, or in other words, the marble statutes are free of cracks, or that the flaws are not covered with wax to hide the flaws.

There is much in understanding languages for language tends to tell about geography; names and meanings; places in comparison to holy places; it emphasizes doctrinal conveyance to those who seek the truth; the body parts represent a templestic consideration; directions of the earth and location within a geographical area reminds man from whence he came, where he is, and where he is going;

Numbers depict theological thought in and of themselves augmenting what is written or sometimes words are spoken and is translated into an English equivalent; clothing, for example, for the Levitical order or for the house of Joseph or Judah, conveyed duty and responsibilities; people in holy writ many times are personified as a type and a shadow of Christ or a father to a son;

Animals beginning in the time of Adam conveyed spiritual meaning; and colors as defined in the Old Testament into the New Testament to us-ward, in these last times, symbolized spiritual manifestations.

These symbols or typifiers clarify a language for they are a part of the language, especially, if the people whose language that is examined is centered in theological beliefs which centers: their social programming; their economics; their legal or judicial application; their health of themselves to their land, their people, and their environment;

Their resource consideration in a seasonal to a long-term approach of use and guardianship; their laying of foundations of all things rooted in one of pureness and a common-consented order; and much more.

And all these things are considered one and are not divided, i.e., the gentile separation of church and state, or no prayers in schools.

None thing in Christ is divided from the one or the other, or taken from another, and none thing is vastly exploited for the want of gain and control as the world thinketh.

In other words, all things in heaven and on the earth testifies of Christ, and they are both one in God.

Notwithstanding, what we have in the scriptures to teach us the things of God, it behooves those who seek truth and light and for those who diligently seek the things of God to comprehend by the power of the spirit the words of God, to know that study and learning must be administered in accord with the Holy Ghost.

For example, in the King James Version of the New Testament, the word "atonement" only appears once in the writings of Paul: "We are reconcile to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. …And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ by whom we have now received the atonement." (Romans 8:10-11)

In the New King James Version, the word atonement is replaced by the word "reconciliation".

In the Book of Mormon the word atonement (both form and tense) appears thirty-nine (39) times.

The Levitical High Priest Alma states the following: "And now, the plan of mercy could not be brought about except an atonement should be made, therefore, God himself atoneth for the sins of the world, to bring about the plan of mercy, to appease the demand of justice, that God might be a perfect, just God, and a merciful God also." (Alma 42:15)

Moreover, in the Doctrine and Covenants variations of the word atonement appears five (5) times, while in the Pearl of Great Price the word appears only two (2) times.

I shall say that in the Old Testament, because of the laws of Moses, the word atonement appears many times, and to that end, Alma makes reference in the Book of Mormon as such.

According to the New World Dictionary the word reconciliation is the use of two words "re" and "conciliation".

Conciliate means to bring together, win over, to soothe the anger of, to make friendly while the word atonement means to be at one or to make amends or reparation for a wrongdoing and by this reparation one is reconciled by being brought into agreement or being one with.

Now therefore, the atonement of Christ is given to those who have fully and understandably repented of all their sins, and such repentance is sealed by the holy spirit of promise, to wit, such a repentance cannot be obtained in ignorance or in rebellion against the laws of God.

And, one cannot repent, except he learns the very points of the doctrine of Christ by obedience thereto, one is sanctified and perfected by the same, and all such actions are sealed upon that man in mortality, therefore, he becomes one with the Savior and with the Father, having that sealing power placed upon his head.

Thus, reconciliation is the beginning of having the Savior atone for the sins of man, and without the sealing power of the Holy Ghost, there is no remission of sins for all things in this life cometh of the Holy Ghost to bring that man back into the presence of God.

While many people may not know or understand the above discussion made on the word atonement and look not to the scriptures to find the truth, Nephi of old did offer an explanation to our time, knowing by the power of the Holy Ghost what should befall the words he had written and the words of other holy men of God, which words by revelation and prophecy was given unto them by the power of the Holy Ghost to us-ward.

Nephi gave unto us a spiritual witness of the Bible that it should "…contain the fulness of the gospel of the Lord (when it proceedeth forth from the mouth of a Jew) of whom the twelve apostles bear record

[and that] after [these words should] go forth by the hand of the twelve apostles of the Lamb, from the Jews unto the Gentiles, thou seesth the formation of that great and abominable church, which is most abominable above all other churches; for behold, they have taken away from the gospel of the Lamb many parts which are plain and precious; and also many covenants of the Lord have they taken away.

And all this have they done that they might pervert the ways of the Lord, that they might blind the eyes and harden the hearts of the children of men.

Wherefore, thou seesth that after the book hath gone forth through the hands of the great and abominable church, that there are many plain and precious things taken away from the book, which is the book of the Lamb of God.

And after these plain and precious things are taken away it goeth forth unto all the nations of the Gentiles; and after it goeth forth unto all the nations of the Gentiles, yea, even across the many waters which thou has seen with the Gentiles which have gone forth out of captivity,

Thou seesth – because of the many plain and precious things which have been taken out of the book, which were plain unto the understanding of the children of men, according to the plainness which is in the Lamb of God – because of these things which are taken away out of the gospel of the Lamb,

An exceedingly great many do stumble, yea, insomuch that Satan hath great power over them." (1 Nephi 13:24-33)

I shall by the power of the Holy Ghost which is in me, challenge you to study further the words of the Lamb that he shall by the power of the Holy Ghost reveal unto you to whom it is that he has referenced, to be his Zion, and then ye shall begin to comprehend his true points of his doctrine.

Wherefore, I shall say unto all those who shall read what is written that this Zion is his covenant people, and these are they whom he hath brought to this land that the gospel of Christ might be cultivated in fulness upon the face of this land of promise.

Then ye shall know of the truth and know whereof the things that ye must come to understand and do.

100

Nephi further expounds what he has written saying: "And it came to pass that they angel of the Lord spake unto me, saying: Behold, saith the Lamb of God, after I have visited the remnant of the house of Israel --

101

And this remnant of whom I speak is the seed of thy father – wherefore, after I have visited them in judgment, and smitten them by the hand of the Gentiles, and after the Gentiles do stumble exceedingly, because of the most plain and precious parts of the gospel of the Lamb which have been kept back by that abominable church,

102

Which is the mother of harlots, saith the Lamb -- I will be merciful unto the Gentiles in that day, inasmuch that I will bring forth unto them, in mine own power, much of my gospel, which shall be plain and precious, saith the Lamb." (1 Nephi 13: 35-42)

103

Jacob, the brother to Nephi, wrote and defined the great and abominable church with these words: "Wherefore, he that fighteth against Zion, both Jew and Gentile, both bond and free, both male and female, shall perish; for they are they who are the whore of all the earth; for they who are not for me are against me, saith our God." (2 Nephi 10:16)

104

Today, the dominate world language that controls trade and the economic transactions is the English language, that also includes religions of the gentile world; and that same dominate control in the year 1,600 came by way of religion; thus, the Roman Catholic version of the Bible called Douay Version was a translation of an English version into a Latin text for the Roman Catholic church;

105

And sometime shortly thereafter, King James I of England had another translation completed, this is the revised translation of the English version called the King James Version.

106

To that end many plain and precious parts of the biblical writings were excluded by man.

107

Or in other words, translation destroys originality and much is replaced by the precepts of men.

108

Wherefore, if you want to understand the Bible, then one must understand the Book of Mormon in its entirety, and then the other books, i.e., Doctrine and Covenants, the Pearl of Great Price, the Book of Abraham, and the Joseph Smith translation of the Bible can be understood.

109

It also behooves a man desiring to understand the gospel of Christ to learn languages and to read other books of religion that provides an understanding and sheds light on the truth contained.

110

In the writings of Moses concerning our father Adam, the Lord revealed to Adam that all things testify of him; given that information most people consider this statement to mean what is contained in the translated versions of the scriptures as compared to what is contained in the scriptures written by the ancient fathers because of the symbolism in the language as a form of typifying of truth as it pertains to the gospel or of Christ.

111

And the Lord told Adam: "And behold, all things have their likeness, and all things are created and made to bear record of me, both things which are temporal, and things which are spiritual; things which are in the heavens above, and things which are on the earth, and things which are in the earth, and things which are under the earth, both above and beneath; all things bear record of me."
