Reflections of the Gospel and the Blessings 6

I speak by the power of the Holy Ghost which is in me that by revelation from God, I do testify that the Plates of Brass speaks of these things, wherein and whereby our father Joseph was taught by his father Jacob, which proceeding and recordation of the same was given by way of father Abraham, he having received a record as is recorded in the Book of Abraham.

This record of Abraham fell into the hands of Joseph in Egypt from the high priest of On.

Thus, the Lord God by his infinite wisdom and all knowing knowledge as it pertains to the work of the Father provided means whereby the literal off-spring, the covenant people of God, should maintain a familiar spiritual knowledge of the workings of God with his people from since the beginning, but also the workings of God unto the end of man in mortality.

I seek this familiar spirit that cometh only by the power of God, by the spirit of revelation and by the spirit of prophesy which gift cometh from the Holy Ghost unto righteous men of God in all ages of man in mortality.

Nephi, our first father in the land of promise, on his journey unto the land of Nephi and into the land of Shem did inquire concerning these things for he was taught of his father Lehi, and an angel of the Lord did make manifest the repository, and there, he enlarged his understanding and knowledge concerning the workings of God our Father; then he knew without a doubt, for he knew with great faith, what would befall his posterity in the latter-days and unto the last days.

Wherefore, he relentlessly sought to know and understand, preparing all means for this time, even a preparation of preservation, that a child should be born of his loins, and unto him should the angels protect and guide.

All lands, sites, and places of holiness were prepared and consecrated, and angels guided this one so chosen, this one who should come to understand, with a journeying much like his fathers before him unto great salvation and restoration for a people who were called in a first covenant, that in the time appointed, he should seek for his appointment unto the same.

This man, all the righteous fathers called of God have spoken of him and all the fathers have raised up unto God a prayer of faith, that couple with their works and the works of this choice seer, shall the work of the Lord be completed in accord with the will of the Father.

Thus it is and thus it will be for God hath spoken it and God has prepared means whereby the promises made and covenants entered into shall all be fulfilled that the end of his works may come with power and authority; it is for this intent all is written, recorded, and kept in holy writ that one literal seed, of his own free will, may come to know and understand who he is and who his God is.

Even as Moses was placed in an ark of reeds, and the sister of Pharaoh scooped him out of the water, and he was thereby raised of her in her household that had not the promise, Moses was taught of the Egyptian regarding scholarly knowledge, the language and ways of the Egyptian hierarchy, and the religion of the Egyptian, he forsook all this to be with his people when he came to understand Jehovah.

Wherefore, in a type and a shadow of what is written concerning this Moses, even Moses said that the Lord should raise up a Moses unto the children of Lehi in the last days; and to him they should look for God should be with him.

This day shall come not with bells ringing and music being played to usher in a time for this child, but the child shall be taught from on high to know the truth; and upon his head shall the blessings of the fathers be placed and in him shall be distilled truths unimagined; even truths that shall resonated among the gentile people.

Moroni did spend many days in the repository to complete the work he had been called to perform and in this place, he found refuge and safety, and he had courage firmly in God. Wherefore, it is written wherein Nephi spoke and said:

I have seen him and my brother Jacob has also seen him; thus, this truth speaketh of times in the repository, the vault of stone, wherein, the God of Israel did personally manifest himself unto them and instructed them.

Therefore, their callings and elections were indeed made sure unto eternal life, and in them, nothing wavered and there was not a vacillation of spirit.

Moroni did receive courage and spiritual strength that cometh of righteousness, having no fear and doubt, for he knew God was with him; this is liken unto Joshua in the Book of Deuteronomy, the first chapter, where he is instructed of God to lead God's people into the land of promise as is written.

And then, I heard another voice, this voice beaconing me, uttering eternal truths from the valley of Adam-Ondi-Ahman, even the very same valley wherein father Adam gathered his posterity for a final time before he went by way of the earth; even a rushing of wind, as if were that the four winds of the earth are coming together,

Even as if it were that in this time, all dispensations of this earth shall come together in finality, yea, even the covenant people of the Lord is to usher in the finality of times, that the earth may rest for 1000 years that evil may be put out that this earth may put on its Eden with a newness of life.

Yea, this voice uttered unto me the seven seals that hold all things to be put into one, even, the final sealing that shall bring forth peace, purity, and newness, but before that time, destruction shall proceed forth in the earth, destroying this terrestrial and telestial existence.

For behold, the kingdom of the devil must be destroyed and it must fall, and for a time, the devil and his angels must be bound and put into their place for a season, then the end shall come as it is written.

And as it is written, there shall be a new heaven and a new earth, and with this newness, the New Jerusalem shall be builded up that God the Father may come, that this earth may be redeemed to receive its celestial crowning and glory that it may become pure and perfected by God the Father and his celestial spouse;

Yea, then shall the angels come to glorify God singing glory be given to the Highest and all perfection shall bow and worship in grand adoration and grand humility to the Father of all.

Wherefore, behold and be ye full of knowledge and understanding concerning truths, and more specifically the language of God.

For I have said in other truths revealed that my ways are not your ways for the things of God are higher than the things of man, and my thoughts are not your thoughts, but it behooveth man, and I speak of righteous men of God who seek this truth and who come to understanding as I have described and have heretofore commanded in other revealed truths.

Now, I speak unto you in clarity and in plainness that what I speak cannot be misinterpreted or misunderstood, for what I speak shall be as the reasoning of man.

I speak and tell thee that when I speak of a newness it is indeed a newness for I did speak and say ye shall walk in a newness of life even that ye should serve in newness of spirit, and unto mine apostles of old and I did speak then and I said:

No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.

Neither do men put new wine into old bottles; else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.

O ye wicked and perverse nations of the gentile, ye stiffnecked people with whom God has been generous in extending salvation unto you, why have ye built up churches unto yourselves to get gain?

The Lord saith that he hath not seen any righteous offerings in the building up his kingdom for the restoration of his long dispersed children of the covenant.

Why have ye transgressed the holy word of God, that ye might bring damnation upon your souls?

Behold, look ye unto the revelations of God and what do they speak?

For behold, the time cometh, soon, when all these things I am writing about shall be fulfilled, then what will ye say?

For behold, the prayers of the fathers were on behalf of him that should write these things, or in other words, that the Lord should suffer that things should be brought forth in this day.

And not one gentile can say that they shall not come forth, for they surely shall, for the Lord hath spoken it; for out of the earth shall they come, by the hand of the Lord, and none can stay it; and it shall come in a day when it shall be said that miracles are done away; and it shall come even as if one should speak from the dead.

And it shall come in a day when the blood of saints shall cry unto the Lord, because of secret combinations and the works of darkness.

Yea, it shall come in a day when the power of God shall be denied, and churches shall become defiled and be lifted up in the pride of their hearts; yea, even in a day when leaders of churches and teachers shall rise up in the pride of their hearts, even to the envying of them who belong to their churches.

Yea, it shall come in a day when there shall be heard of fires, and tempests, and vapors of smoke in foreign lands; and there shall also be heard of wars, rumors of wars, and earthquakes in divers places.

Yea, it shall come in a day when there shall be great pollutions upon the face of the earth; there shall be murders, and robbing, and lying, and deceiving, and whoredoms, and all manner of abominations; when there shall be many who shall say, do this, or do that, and it mattereth not, for the Lord will uphold such, for they are in the gall of bitterness and in the bonds of iniquity.

Yea, it shall come in a day when there shall be churches built up that shall say:

Come unto me, and for your money, you shall be forgiven of your sins.

I testify by the spirit of the Lord that that day spoken of is this day of which it is written.
