How do you comprehend the incomprehensible? As mortals, we cannot! But let us seek with body, mind, and spirit to internalize the Lord’s infinite atonement, then we are promised Eternal Life–the greatest of all the gifts of God. Seven is the number of perfection or completeness in the Lord’s arithmetic, and there are seven steps in the infinite atonement. I have found seven sub-steps for each of the seven steps, and I will share those here with scriptural references.
In addition to the scriptures, Nephi tells us of “other books” (1 Nephi 13:39) to come forth in our day and we are seeing that happen in amazing ways to help us better understand the “Infinite Atonement.” Dezert-Owl, who has become a good friend, has over 30 Tranz-Literations and several supporting dictionaries on Amazon, on LULU.com, and on KOBO.com. HIs GOSPEL OF THE WISE-STRANGERS by Joseph of Aramathia is 247 pages of GOLD. And Dezert’s “The CRUCIFIXION REPORT of PONTUS PILOT to: TIBERIUS CAESAR” is a major contribution. Ferrar Fenton, M.R.A.S. (1832-1920) was a London businessman, a manufacturer, and financial organizer. He is perhaps most well known for his translation of The Bible in Modern English, which is commonly referred to as the Ferrar Fenton Bible. Fenton made translation of the Bible a lifetime avocation, spending approximately fifty years working on his translation, with the goal “to study the Bible absolutely in its original languages, to ascertain what its writers actually said and thought.” Ferrar Fenton – Wikipedia. The AQUARIAN GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST by Levi is a monumental contribution covering the Savior’s life from birth until Pentecost. The above books go far beyond the traditional apocrypha that one finds in some Bibles, and there are others we could mention as well.
Essentially all Christians miss the richness of our Lord’s infinite and perfect atonement. Most in my own church as well. I hear members and leaders express gratitude for the atoning sacrifice, and last General Conference (1-2 April 2023) I heard several express gratitude for the atoning sacrifice and the resurrection–missing the Lord’s glorious visit to the Spirit world as the sixth step in the infinite atonement–opening up missionary work there and letting the prisoners go free. There are nearly ten times more folks there than here below.
In a world that is turning upside down, as Satan knows it is his last hour and while anticipating the glorious return of our Lord and Savior, there is nothing more important for us to do than to come unto Him. Those who do not will be “cut-off” at His Coming. As we contemplate what He has done, is doing, and will do for us, it fills our souls with the deepest of gratitude. As we come unto Him and repent, mercy is extended to us satisfying the demands of justice and totally overcoming the effects of the fall of Adam and Eve. He is the way, the truth, and the life to bring us back to the Father. (John 14:6) We praise Him and adore Him forever. And our souls reach to their depths as we thank the Father for the gift of His Son, who worked out this perfect and infinite atonement bringing perfection to Father’s perfect plan of happiness. Our gratitude is overflowing. Think of it, His infinite atonement opens the door to perfection for us along with a fullness of joy and perfection for the earth as well. Satan is increasing the moral decay in the world because he knows it is his last hour.
Let us look at these SEVEN INCREDIBLE STEPS IN HIS INFINITE ATONEMENT. My hope is that like the disciples who walked with Him on the road to Emmaus, “Did not our hearts burn with delight while he was talking to us by the way…” “while he opened to us the scriptures?” (Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ, Section XXI, Chapter 174:24; Luke 24:32)
I believe in miracles but have never experienced one so profoundly clear as I did this past week.
We have been admonished to read the Book of Mormon daily with great benefits in doing so. I have found this to be true. The Miracles wrought by the Lord to give us this sacred record bring us to our knees in great gratitude for this incredible book designed by the Lord to best help us today.
When I learned in January that I was to speak at the Firm Foundation EXPO in Layton, Utah in April, I went into prayer: “Heavenly Father, you know who will be there for my talk and I don’t. Please help me prepare that which will best help them to come to know Thee and Thy Beloved Son.” The Lord answered my prayer, as I had several people come to me after my talk deeply touched by what I had shared.
The Vernal Equinox is the moment in the Spring when the spin axis of the Earth is exactly at 90 degrees to the line between the Earth and the Sun. For 2018 it is 10:15 a.m. on Tuesday, March 20, 2018. As the sun crossed the celestial equator, heading northward, both the Southern and Northern Hemispheres will experience an equal amount of daylight hours.
In the blessing of Abraham it declares: “In thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.” (Gen. 22:18.)
In 1848, Squier and Davis documented in their book, Ancient Monuments of The Mississippi Valley, the largest (4 1/2 square miles) geometric earthwork complex in the world which is located near Newark, Ohio. (For your study, a large copy of this earthwork is at the bottom of the page.)
