How To Be One With God

Spirituality, , , ,

How to be one with God is a question that challenges all of us.  One of the grand ironies of the Lord’s omniscience is that He asks us to be ONE like He and the Father are ONE. Yet, we have 8.1 billion independent intelligences on this globe, so how can we be One With God?

A Perfectly Designed Mission for Each of Us

Inherent within our intelligence is agency (free choice). Furthermore, in premortal our infinitely loving Heavenly Father gave each of us a different personally designed mission for our mortal journey (See Chapter 2 of It’s About Time). He designed it so that it would be the best way to bring us back home to Him. Then the Lord says, “Behold, this I have given unto you as a parable, and it is even as I am. I say unto you, be one; and if ye are not one ye are not mine (D&C 38:27).”

Hence, CHOOSING to be ONE with Him is paramount in our path to eternal life. And we know the only one who can perfect us and get us there is Christ (Moroni 10:32-33). “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me (John 14:6).”

What Can We Do to Help the Cause of Christ?

Because God’s love is perfect and infinite, we have His great promise before Christ comes again: “For it shall come to pass in that day, that every man shall hear the fulness of the gospel in his tongue, and in his language, through those who are ordained unto this power, by the administration of the Comforter, shed forth upon them for the revelation of Jesus Christ (D&C 90:11).” Furthermore, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the only religion that now offers the fullness of the gospel on both sides of the veil. This includes all the saving ordinances associated therewith. Yet, we are only 0.2 % of the world population, but fortunately, the Church is growing rapidly, and the growth rate is now increasing.

In the meantime, what can we do to help the cause of Christ? First, we need to be His disciples by sharing His glorious message of redemption and hope for eternal life. “Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples (John 15:8).”

As part of the Lord’s plan for ONEness, we know the ideal society to meet the Lord is ZION: “the pure in heart (D&C 97:21)” “And the Lord called his people ZION, because they were of one heart and one mind, and dwelt in righteousness; and there was no poor among them (Moses 7:18).” Clearly, knowing how to be one with God is paramount. Now, with 8.1 billion different world views across the globe for all of Father’s children, how can they be ONE? Accepting the Full infinite atonement of Jesus Christ and HIs teachings are the keys.  But most don’t know of these beautiful and life changing truths.

St. Petersburg Russia and being ONE

In 2015, I was invited to write a paper, give a lecture, and chair a panel in St. Petersburg, Russia. I took two cases of my book, It’s About Time, which harmonizes true science and true religion. They sold very quickly, and I had a great experience there.

I felt to add to the paper that I wrote for the conference an equation, which I feel the Lord gave me, on how to be one with God. The Savior opened the door for us to be “one” like He and the Father are one for all believers (Read John 17). In His great High Priest prayer, He excluded no one except the “world” of non-believers.

As background for this equation, consider God’s infinite love for us. He gave us His Only Begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him and lives His teachings shall have eternal life (John 3:16). Christ also gave us our conscience to “light” our way that we may know good from evil (John 1:9). At each decision point in life, we make choices. As we choose the good, we synchronize our souls with the will of God; otherwise, we become more asynchronous and are estranged from God. Well, did the Apostle James say, “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin (James 4:17).”

A loving and merciful God has given us the door of repentance made effective through the infinite atonement of Christ so that we may resynchronize our souls with God. “Behold, he who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more. By this ye may know if a man repenteth of his sins—behold, he will confess them and forsake them (D&C 58:42-43).” Also, in God’s love, He has twice as many angels around us to counter the adversary’s opposition, there for us as we pray (D&C 10:5).

Taking from Shakespeare’s Othello, from Charles Dickins, Barnaby Rudge, Chapter 29, which Abraham Lincoln used in his inaugural address, let us choose our “better angels,” who are whispering to us the best path for us.

Light Before Death

I recently learned of a remarkable book, The LIGHT BEFORE DEATH, by Vincent (Vinney) Todd Tolman.  It is our own Lazarus raised from the dead documented experience happening right here in Orem, Utah, in 2003. After he died, he was taught ten heavenly principles, by his Great-great-great grandfather, Charles Drake Cazier, as he moved to higher levels of light. One was the great importance of “Listen to your inner voice.”

The Kingdom of Heaven is perfectly organized, and the Lord’s angels are ever-attending. It is our choice to listen or not. They speak the words of Christ to know what we should do to align ourselves with God’s will (2 Nephi 32:2-5).

Drake beautifully shares with Vinney the great importance of Alma’s insight: “For behold, the Lord doth grant unto all nations, of their own nation and tongue, to teach his word, yea, in wisdom, all that he seeth fit that they should have; therefore we see that the Lord doth counsel in wisdom, according to that which is just and true (Alma 29:8).” The sixth principle Drake shared was, “Release prejudice.” And the capstone and tenth principle is: “Know that we are all one.”

Can we imagine a higher path in life than going about–best using our time and talents–in doing good as we follow the light of Christ? This is “the still small voice” shared so profoundly in the Bible (1 Kings 19:12). Then we are ONE with Him!

Following this still, small voice moves us to the path that aligns with the mission we agreed to do during our mortal journey. Doing so will bring honor and glory to our loving Heavenly Father. With Him, in a pre-mortal epoch, we agreed and rejoiced in our opportunity to come to earth. As developed in Chapter 2 of Itʼs About Time, I share that we had a special interview with our Heavenly Father in which we jointly mapped out our life’s mission that we knew would be for our eternal best good.

Because we have free agency, we can choose not to do our mission, but that path will not be the best for us.  When we apply faith in the Lord Jesus Christ in our lives and repentance, it means changing our path direction to align our will with His.

Our Time on Earth is Like a Clock

We can think of our time on earth like a clock, we move our soul’s clock closer to synchronism with Him, as we choose the right. We are doing the right things, at the right place, at the right time. Our thoughts are aligned with His omniscient and loving wisdom. He asks us, “Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not (D&C 6:36).”
Here is the equation.

yavg = xN/Ntauavg

We bring our clock into synchronization with God’s will when we make the right choice—listening to the Lord’s angels who speak the words of Christ. In this equation, N numbers our xN choice. Nτavg denotes our time on earth since we were accountable for our choices—nominally age eight. Our goal is to be ONE with God—zero distance between us and Him. One can show from this equation that yavg moves to zero as each choice ever moves us closer to the will of God as we listen to His angels ministering to us.

One can show mathematically that our frequency (our different world views) will move ever closer into perfect resonance with the Father through the Son as we move to be with them and their teachings. We are in harmony emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and physically with His will and are in ONEness with God. Synchronization means same time; syntonization means same rate. Our lives are syntonized in this ONEness, yavg = 0, God is with us in all we do, say, and think.

Our oldest son, Sterling, shared with me this fascinating experiment shared on the web of how five independent metronomes are brought into synchronization and syntonization. Synchronization of Metronomes. You can see Daniel in a 1 minute 49 seconds YouTube video showing that when the sounding board is free to respond to the metronomes’ movements, they come into synchronism—ONEness.

As I presented the paper for the international navigation conference in St. Petersburg, Russia, I included the above equation and insights as part of the paper. This allowed me to share the message of the gospel with my international colleagues. They politely asked me to remove it as they didn’t want spirituality as part of a technical conference. But here I share it with the world, and my colleagues reviewing the paper received the benefit.

Two clocks can be syntonized and have very different times; they could be an hour apart in their time readings while running at the same rate. If syntonized but not synchronized, then the time difference remains constant, and they remain out of sync. Because the time error of a clock is the integral of the frequency error, synchronization guarantees syntonization. We will see this concept being very important, as we develop how to resonate our souls with God.

I discuss the fascinating MASER and LASER action–invented by Nobel Prize winner Charles Townes, et. al.–in Chapter 20 of my book: www.ItsAboutTimeBook.com. The first atomic clock was an ammonia maser built by Harold Lyons, et. al. at NBS Washington, D.C. The first atomic clock I worked on in 1960 at NBS/Boulder, CO, was an ammonia maser.

Maser and laser are acronyms meaning Microwave or Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. The maser concept was first illustrated using hydrogen. In a hydrogen maser, when a hydrogen atom enters the resonant cavity of the maser in an excited-quantum-clock-transition-energy state, it is stimulated to give off its clock-transition photon in phase (synchronized and syntonized) with all the emissions of all the other atoms, which have already entered the cavity. The photons of all the atoms are in resonance with each other–like Daniel’s metronomes.

Notice, that Daniel first shows in the video that they do not resonate until the coupling-sounding-board is free to sense the combined movement of the metronomes. In the ideal ZION society motivated by the pure love of Christ, we are of “one mind and one heart.” We are in resonance with the will of God.

Because of this resonance phenomena, the time deviation TDEV time-stability plot improves as the square root of the averaging time, τ^-1/2. This gives hydrogen masers their unique excellent short-term frequency and time stability. And they are widely used across the globe to this day.

But, as explained in Chapter 20, for significant worldly reasons, this ideal resonance phenomenon, τ^-1/2, doesn’t persist. If a TDEV time-stability plot were made of the time differences of the metronomes in Daniel’s experiment, the stability would improve like the masers after resonance was achieved, but not before. This resonance phenomenon was first observed by the famous inventor of the pendulum clock, Christiaan Huygens, back in the 1600s. This ZION society mentality joyfully brings persistence to this Divinely orchestrated resonance phenomenon–illustrated by masers and Daniel’s metronomes.

As We Choose The Good

As we choose the good, we synchronize our souls with the will of God; otherwise, we become more asynchronous and are estranged from God. Also, in God’s love, as I mentioned before, He has angels around us to counter the adversary’s opposition.

We can synchronize our thoughts and actions with Him through prayer and pondering, studying, and feasting upon His word (2 Nephi 31:20). It is exciting to know that in our desires to synchronize our will to His, each of us has a unique mission, given our different times on earth and our different talents. In His infinite wisdom, He knows our uniqueness and will customize the inspiration given to each of us for our eternal best good. His will is to have each of us return to Him and receive a fullness of joy. But know that He will not force us; such force would violate our free agency and make it, not heaven. He will never do that; that is contrary to the laws of heaven. Being ONE with Him is our choice.

As we treasure up His word (JS-M 37) and hearken to it, in our Nth occasion to do so, we move xN closer to synchronism as we align our will to His. If we choose otherwise, we move our clock further away from the “correct time” and away from being ONE with God. Like the sounding board for the metronomes needs to be “free” to facilitate resonance among the metronomes, so we need to get out of the noise of the world and find the freedom in communion with God that will open our minds and hearts to the still small voice. That is the path to true freedom. “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed (John 8:36).”

His Loving Arms are Stretched Out

His loving arms are stretched out continually to all of us in His infinite capacity to do so that we may find resonance with Him through faith in Christ and repentance from sin.
The denominator ever grows larger and the numerator can be made smaller and smaller as we synchronize our wills to the will of the Father, as the Son did perfectly. One can show that this equation converges to perfect resonance; we grow into ONEness with God and are guaranteed eternal life in that process. When our worldview becomes aligned with His perfect view, His promise is, “Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32). In that unity we become free of sin as individuals, and free from bondage as a society. We become one with God in that ideal society motivated by the pure love of Christ, and each of our time and talents are thus utilized fully for the betterment of that society in time and in eternity. How exciting is that? This is he path to a fullness of joy.

We model our society after the harmony of the Godhead. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost each have different missions within the Godhead, but they are one–motivated by pure and perfect love. They move the cause of Truth forward throughout the universe. Following this perfect model is how, as Jesus has asked us to pray, that Father’s kingdom comes on earth as it is in heaven (Matt. 6:9-13). Could there be a more exciting message–a society based on the pure love of Christ, which will partake of a fullness of joy?

For those wishing to chat online about the gospel of Jesus Christ, you may visit Mormon.org. They have the facility to chat in some fifty different languages. The Book of Mormon (another witness for Christ) is available in 110 languages. This book–companion to the Bible–is designed to help bring us to Christ and to this ONEness.

The Glory of God is Intelligence

Spirituality, ,

“The glory of God is intelligence.” (D&C 93:36-37) Our intelligence has always existed and always will. (D&C 93:29) Our intelligence + our spirit body + our physical body + resurrection = redemption through the Infinite Atonement. Notice I capitalize Infinite Atonement because of its sacredness.

Our intelligence participates in a grand chiasmus: ETERNITY to EARTH to ETERNITY. How we use our intelligence to deal with the law of opposition in all things (2 Nephi 2:11) determines our destiny. Ancient scriptures tell us so.

Intelligence, Mind, and Brain

At the birth of our spirits from our infinitely love Heavenly Parents, our intelligence coupled to our spirit brain. Then when we were born to our loving earthly parents, our intelligence and spirit mater brain downloaded to our physical brain. This coupling allows our mind to operate both within and without our body. In God’s physics, as we pray sincerely, we couple into the Eternity Domain.

Quoting from my book, It’s About Time, this “allows us to couple into
God’s Time and His perfect plan of happiness, which is often hard for us to
see in this very imperfect world. One of the main purposes of my books is to
show how God’s plan can bring about perfection and a fullness of joy out of all the imperfections we see in this world… This coupling between our physical sphere of existence and God’s Time utilizes our intelligences, the feelings of our hearts and of our “guts.” It is interesting that recently science has discovered brain cells’ neurons in the
heart and in the bowels.

“In the scriptures, it has been there all along. Perhaps you have heard the touching phrases, ‘Listen to your heart,’ or ‘I have a gut feeling that this is not right!’ Perhaps you have heard the following scriptural phrases: ‘…his bowels did yearn upon his brother …’ ‘Let your bowels be full of charity toward all mankind…’; ‘The Lord looketh upon the heart…’; ‘Thoughts of thy heart…’; ‘Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.’ and ‘God is a discerner… of the thoughts and intents of the heart.'”

Our mind does our rational thinking. The Spirit of Christ dwells in our hearts to know good from evil. Following His Spirit leads us to be pure in heart. Those so doing will enter celestial realms of glory. Jesus is the “Son of Righteousness.” As we come unto Christ in our thoughts, words, and deeds, He will help us be the same. Partaking of the full blessings of His perfect and Infinite Atonement is the path to a fullness of JOY!

The Right To Choose

As Joseph Smith was in horrible conditions in the Liberty jail, the Lord told him: “All these things shall give thee experience and be for thy good.” ( D&C 122:7) “If thou endure it well, God shalt exalt thee on high.” (D&C 121:8) Let us use our intelligence to bring about eternal good in spite of mortal challenges. As I explain in Chapter 6 of my book, Time & Eternity, The End-Times & Beyond Revealed, the Lord honors the desires of our hearts. We have a perfect God with infinite love for each of us, who fully understands our challenges. He gave us agency (the right to choose) — a precious gift. He will force no one to heaven. If He were to do so, it would make it not heaven.

His plan is perfect amid all our imperfections; “He is more intelligent than they all.” (Abraham 3:19-28)

The heaven and hell model of the afterlife misses the glorious perfect plan of happiness. The Apostle Paul describes the three degrees of glory in the resurrection (1 Cor. 15:40-42). Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery were shown details of these three degrees of glory (Celestial, Terrestrial, and Telestial). (D&C Section 76) How we use our intelligence matters greatly in His perfect plan of happiness.

Section 88:27-33 of the Doctrine and Covenants shares that we will be in the eternities where we will be the happiest. Moroni explains, “ye would be more miserable to dwell with a holy and just God, under a consciousness of your filthiness before him, than ye would to dwell with the damned souls in hell.” (Mormon 9:4)

When the Lord asks us to be perfect like our Heavenly Father is perfect, He asks us to use our intelligence to take the path to a fullness of joy. (Matt. 5:48) After the Savior completed His infinite atonement, He visited North America as a resurrected being (John 10:16; 3 Nephi Chapter 11).

There, Jesus shared a very similar sermon with the Nephites as the sermon on the mount. (3 Nephi 12-14) He said to them. “Therefore, I would that ye should be perfect even as I, or your Father who is in heaven is perfect.” (3 Nephi 12:48; Galatians 4:19) By using His intelligence to do the will of the Father, He had become perfect. The Hebrew meaning of perfect is “complete.”

Use Our Intelligence Wisely

As we use our intelligence to best use our time and talents, we also can become complete. But, because of mortality, only Christ can bring us to perfection and completeness. (Moroni 10:32-33) Those in the Celestial Kingdom enjoy the presence of our Heavenly Parents and our Savior. Also, a fullness of joy is not possible without our family members who have also chosen to follow our Savior. If we use our intelligence to choose less, that is our choice. In the final judgment, the Apostle John shares a very important perspective. A fundamental truth is how we use our intelligence determines the works we do.

“And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.” (Rev. 20:12,) The bolding is mine.

In my book, It’s About Time, I share how grace and works go together. The primitive saints believed in grace and works. In the Lord’s perfect plan, we use our intelligence to harmonize grace and works as we look to Christ. In a podcast, I share how perfect justice and perfect mercy motivated by God’s love make His perfect plan. (Scroll down to 2021 #33): Podcasts – Book of Mormon Evidence.

The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus Christ by Levi has some great ancient insights on using our intelligences properly; I list here the chapters and verses:
95:43 “The letter of the law deals with the acts of man; the spirit of the law takes note of his desires.”
96:27 “This day is consecrated unto God; but man serves God by serving man.” (In Mosiah 2:17, King Benjamin shares the same great counsel.)
131:22 “Your thoughts and words and deeds will all be tried by fire.” 
135:23 “If you sin not then you are free; but if you sin in thought, or word, or deed, then you are slaves, and naught but truth can set you free; if you are free through Christ, then you are free indeed.” (See John 8:32, 36)
158:34-41 “Behold, when he will come with all his messengers of light, the Book of Life, and that of Records, shall be opened up—the books in which the thoughts and words and deeds are written down. And everyone can read the records he has written for himself, and he will know his doom before the judge shall speak, and this will be the sifting time. According to their records, men will find their own. The judge is Righteousness, the king of all the earth, and he will separate the multitudes as shepherds separate the sheep and goats. The sheep will find their places on the right, the goats on the left, and every man will know his place. And then the judge will say, to those upon the right. You blessed of the Father-God, come unto your inheritance, which was prepared for you from times of old. You have been servants of the race; and I was hungry and you gave me bread; was thirsty and you gave me drink; was naked and you gave me clothes; Was sick, you ministered to me; and was in prison and you came to me with words of cheer; I was a stranger and in your homes I found a home.”
158:43 “And then the judge will say, You served the sons of men, and whatsoever you have done for these, that you have done for me.” 
158:44 “The judge will say to those upon the left. Depart from me; you have not served the sons of men.”

I believe the Lord gave me the following poem:

There is no limit to the good we can do,
 If we but look to heaven to guide us through.
 From our heavenly home we learned of its creeds,
 To bless God’s offspring with our thoughts, words, and deeds.

The Opportunity to Repent

Most people don’t know that if their words, and deeds, and thoughts are contrary to God’s will, they will condemn them at the last day unless they repent. (Alma 12:14; Mosiah 4:30) How grateful we are for faith in the Lord and for the opportunity to repent. When the Lord says in Section 58 of the Doctrine and Covenants: “42 Behold, he who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more. 43 By this ye may know if a man repenteth of his sins—behold, he will confess them and forsake them.” True repentance is the permanent eraser of our sins! THANK YOU, LORD! The Lord erases those sins which we have forsaken from our Book of Life.  The Bolding mine.

Like the Savior, let us use our intelligence to go about doing good. Most people, also, don’t know that Satan is real with the intent to bring bad thoughts to whoever will be open to the same. Let us continually have a prayer in hearts to look to Christ and not listen to Satan. (D&C 10:5) We can choose to ignore him; he has no power unless we give it to him. Let us look to Jesus in every thought. (D&C 6:36)
Let us be wise and use our intelligence to fully repent and to exercise faith in our Lord and Savior. Let us fill up our “Book of Life” with glorious acts of service. The best thing we can do is to lovingly help as many as we can, who are willing to listen, and ourselves to come to know the Father and the Son. To know them is eternal life. (John 17:3)

As the Prophet Joseph taught, faith “Is a principle of action.” We first have faith to know that God is there. Then we use our intelligence to look at His characteristics and attributes and strive to emulate them. Then know that our Creator created us to also be creators, we use our intelligence to lovingly best serve humankind using our creative abilities. This we do to build His Kingdom and seek His Righteousness. Again, He is the Son of Righteousness. (Matt. 6:33; 2 Nephi 26:9; 3 Nephi 25:2; and Ether 9:22)

To Act For Themselves

Again, let us help others do the same. I have written my books and blog articles with that intent under His inspiration and am working on more. There is nothing greater than the worth of a soul. Let us realize that when a baby is born it brings a new intelligence to the planet. Adding intelligence to the planet brings the potential for more creativity. And this is to God’s glory, for “the glory of God is intelligence.” (D&C 93:36) “Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.” (John 15:8)

One of my favorite scriptures in this regard and the message of intelligence is Lehi’s great sermon to his family before he died. (2 Nephi) 25 Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy. 26 And the Messiah cometh in the fulness of time, that he may redeem the children of men from the fall. And because that they are redeemed from the fall they have become free forever, knowing good from evil; to act for themselves and not to be acted upon, save it be by the punishment of the law at the great and last day, according to the commandments which God hath given. 27 Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh; and all things are given them which are expedient unto man. And they are free to choose liberty and eternal life [use your intelligence wisely; He honors your desires.], through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil; for he seeketh that all men might be miserable like unto himself.  The bolding is mine.

We Have A Promise

Satan and his minions are doing everything they can to deter us from Christ. “[Christ] is the way, and the truth, and the life.” (John 14;6) We have this great promise (D&C 130:18): “Whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto in this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection.” Let us use our intelligence to BEST SERVE! Let us be true disciples and “bear much fruit.” (John 15:8) Let us partake fully of His Infinite Atonement and receive the greatest of all the gifts of God, ETERNAL LIFE (D&C 14:7). “The glory of God is intelligence.”

The King James Bible Impacted the World for Good

Spirituality, ,

Christian Book Holy BibleThe King James Version (KJV) of the Bible has impacted the world for good more than any other.  Why?

The KJV has produced the most profound music. (Handle’s Messiah, for example). The KJV has given us the greatest literature (Shakespeare’s plays, Milton’s Paradise Lost, as examples). The KJV has changed more people’s hearts toward God. Recently, because of the inspiration in its translation, the KJV has tied back to the language of Adam. (Don’t By-Pass “And It Came to Pass”)

Interestingly, the King James Version of the Bible transcends all other English translations. No other modern translation of the Bible in English has that level of inspiration and literary power. The 1611 King James Version of the Bible is the most popular book ever printed by a factor of ten. AMAZING! How did it come about?  I recently made the discovery that shows that the central message of the KJV is “Trust in the Lord.” This discovery shows the direct fingerprint of the Lord in the book. Divine design!

William Tyndale (1492-1536)

William Tyndale was burned at the stake for his efforts to bring the Bible into English. He taught himself Hebrew and was fluent in eight languages. And 84% of the New Testament is Tyndal’s translation; 75.8% of the Old Testament is Tyndale’s. He would have finished the Old Testament had he not been burned at the stake. His biography testifies how close he was to the Spirit. He was focused on his dedication to bringing a good translation into English. Read “Fire in the Bones” by S. Michael Wilcox.

Tyndale was inspired to leave the Adamic phrase, “And it came to pass” in his translation. As Dr. Leanora Leet has shown a very important insight in her book, The Secret Doctrine of the Kabbalah, Recovering the Key to Hebraic Sacred Science. She shares that the phrase. “And it came to pass,” has a gematria equivalent to “EL” or God and ties to past events. For example, Luke 2 In the KJV starts with, “And it came to pass”.  The historic event of the Savior’s birth is shared with the world in that famous chapter.

Essentially all subsequent English translations of the Bible leave out that Adamic phrase. Both Joseph in Egypt (2 Nephi 3:11) and Nephi (1 Nephi 13:38-41) share important prophesies about validating the Bible. These prophecies state that one of the purposes of the Book of Mormon coming forth was to validate the Bible. I show scientifically that these prophecies are in part fulfilled with the eighteen hundred Adamic phrases I have found validating the Bible. The following article shares how these Adamic phrases do that: “Don’t Bypass” – “And It Came To Pass”.

The distribution and contextual use of these phrases show directly that the scriptures are inspired by the Lord. That it could be otherwise has a probability of zero. These scriptures include those used by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. LDS Living picked up on this important message.

Just before being burned, Tyndale’s last words–with fervent zeal and a loud voice–he cried, “Lord! Open the King of England’s eyes.” Anne Boleyn, King Henry VIII’s second wife, loved Tyndale’s translation and convinced Henry of its worth. Three years after Tyndale’s martyrdom, the king had “The Great Bible,” chained to every pulpit in England.  A good portion of which was Tyndale’s translation.

Bloody Mary

Mary, King Henry VIII’s only child from his first wife, became queen in 1553. She took England back to Catholicism. She caused more than two hundred and eighty-four Protestants to be martyred during her five-year reign.  Hence, she was named, Bloody Mary. England was fiercely divided over religion. Beloved Queen Elizabeth’s reign (1558-1603) brought a considerable measure of peace to this troubled and religiously divided empire.

Elizabeth, the daughter of Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII, never married.  She was in contrast to her father, who had six wives. She was opposite to her father in disposition as well, taking after her mother. On her deathbed, she designated her cousin, James VI of Scotland, who became James I, King of England.

James I–King of England

James was extremely well tutored and knew his scriptures and the flaws in Bible translations. He hated the Geneva Bible, the Bible of the Puritans with all its heretical margin notes. He knew the Bishop’s Bible used by the Church of England was a poor translation. He was determined to bring unity to this religiously divided kingdom.

He was a well-educated fierce debater, and when the scholarly bishops approached him to put down the Puritans, he verbally ripped them apart. When the Puritan scholars came to him to deal with the mistranslations and misinterpretations in the Church of England, he verbally ripped them apart. But as a parting request, they suggested the need for a new translation of the Bible that would unite the country. That request touched his soul. Thus, he launched the massive, seven-year effort to bring forth the King James Version of the Bible (KJV).

He appointed over fifty of the best scholars drawing from both camps, making them work together; forty-seven completed the task. The two groups, of course, did not trust each other and set up severe checks on all translations to ensure accuracy. By the end, the two factions got along remarkably well and had developed high regard for each other’s scholarship and contributions. The King James scholars recognized William Tyndale’s inspired and accurate translations of the ancient Biblical texts.

We see that William Tyndale is an unsung hero regarding this book that has influenced the world more than any other. He was martyred 75 years before the 1611 publication date of the KJV, yet we have 84% of the New Testament and 75.8% of the Old Testament being his. Overall, 78% of the King James Bible remarkably came from William Tyndale.

England, Scotland, and World Benefits

Three major benefits came out of this massive work and direction of bringing forth the KJV. It not only helped unify Scotland and England; they loved their new king. Also, social, and religious tolerance improved dramatically. Thirdly, over its more than 400 years of being available, the world has benefited from this version of the Bible more than any other book ever printed.

The number printed is in the billions. However, at the time, no one knew the degree to which this inspired-English translation would change the world for good way beyond anyone’s expectations at the time.

James never saw the success of his book, and after it was published in 1611, his reign as king went into decline. It took many decades for the world to realize what a great golden nugget they had in this the best English translation of the Bible. In reviewing the history of it all, one sees the Lord raising up this man with this as his main mission in life.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints uses the KJV as their official Bible. They have obtained special copyright release privileges for their printed versions, which are significantly footnoted. It is interesting that as the Lord gave Joseph Smith the inspired translation of the Book of Mormon, the King James language was the Lord’s choice to give it the maximum impact for good.

The Book of Mormon is a Hebrew document. As biblical passages appear, the different prophets did Hebrew Midrash on those passages with great relevance for our day and time. And we see the Book of Mormon providing the world with a Second Witness for Jesus Christ.

Now, it is clear that the world has benefited more from the KJV than from any other book. Since the Book of Mormon came forth, it has brought a greater percentage of people to Christ than the Bible for those who have read both. Interestingly, as a language group have their hearts prepared to receive the fullness of the gospel and the Book of Mormon is translated into their language, the conversion rate to Christ increases dramatically. This dramatic effect was especially evident when the Book of Mormon became available in the language of the South Koreans. There conversion rate to Christ became significantly higher that the Church’s average.

The Importance of Family First

Spirituality, ,

Family is the most important unit in time and in eternity. Did you know that the importance of family was pulled from the Biblical record? Because of the celibate nature of the monks, translators, and transcribers, the importance of family was expunged from many records. Now we have many newly found ancient apocryphal records for our perusal. I have used several of these apocryphal writings in previous blog articles, and they give many very important insights into the life of the Savior and clarify ancient history. Many of them point to Family being first.

Importance of the Family

When I was Stake President in Boulder, Colorado, for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we had the theme, “FAMILY FIRST.” Since then, I have learned to qualify that theme statement. God should always be first in our lives. Even though the family is the most essential unit in time and eternity. Without God’s help, the family cannot come to its full enjoyable potential and functionality. The family is the primary learning and growing place during our mortal journey. In addition, Jesus asked us to be perfect like our Heavenly Father is perfect. Being like our Heavenly Parents is the ultimate fullness of joy we seek.

Love is the Primary Motivation

The family can only come to its full potential when keeping God’s commandments both in time and in eternity. The first of which is to love “The Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul (body + spirit (D&C 88:15)), and with all thy mind. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” (Mt. 22:37-40) The most important neighbors are the members of our own families. Did you know the Torah is the “Law of Love?”

God’s Physics for Prayer for His Family

In Chapter 21 of my book, It’s About Time, I share that the Eternity domain is where God and His angels do their magnificent work. The Eternity domain is a fifth dimension beyond space and time. I share seven experiments documenting God’s physics and the existence of this Eternity domain. In Chapter 22, using the results from Chapter 21, I share how prayer works, and that each of us has a permanent diallel-field line connection to God. When we were born spirit children of our infinitely loving Heavenly Parents, we were given a diallel-field line umbilical cord made of spirit matter giving us 24/7 connection to our Heavenly Parents.

This is why prayer is the most oft-repeated commandment in the scriptures. Families can most effectively learn the truths of God by coupling into that prayer channel. The evil spirit teaches us not to pray. Personal prayer, husband-wife prayer, and family prayer are binding ties to best help us know the TRUTHs of God. It is through prayer that we can come to know of the Lord’s infinite love for us. Then, by knowing we can emulate, as we internalize His eternal truths. The Lord counsels us to pray always that we may withstand the fiery darts of the adversary. (D&C 10:5; 27:15-18)

Eternal Family is God’s Crowning Goal

God’s infinite love for each of us is beyond our comprehension, and eternal family is our Heavenly Parents’ crowning goal for each of us. This is depicted in the 4 ½ square-mile ancient earthworks near Newark, Ohio—mapping out Heavenly Father’s perfect plan of happiness. Ancient Newark Earthworks in Ohio, USA. These were built by the Jaredite civilization and perfected by the Nephites to tell the world of God’s marvelous plan for us.

God created the world in the first place for us, as Their spirit offspring. All of God’s creations are for us to enjoy. Heavenly Father’s perfect plan opens an incredible door for each of us toward a fullness of joy and eternal happiness in Their presence and as families.

“Until Death do us Part”

Due to misunderstandings of the Bible, distortions, and deletions in the Bible record, most Christians end their marriage ceremonies with the vow, “until death do us part.” This denies the obvious truth that true family love and true husband and wife love transcend the grave. Apocryphal writings help us clear up these misunderstandings. “Love is the power of God that binds two souls and makes them one; there is no power on earth that can dissolve the bond. The bodies may be forced apart by man or death for just a little time, but they will meet again. Now, in this bond of God, we find the marriage tie;” (The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus Christ by Levi, 98:10-12)

In the perfect fairness of God, everyone will have an opportunity to be part of an eternal family before the end of the millennium. It is our choice whether to receive the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ and celestial family ties or not. Therein is the doorway to the fullness of JOY! God will force no one to heaven; to do so would make it, not heaven.

The Family of Christ

The record of the family of Christ has also been in large measure expunged from the Biblical record. There is a lot of fascinating information in apocryphal literature about Jesus’ siblings, His extended family, and His offspring. Jesus had six siblings. His brother James was one of the Apostles.

His mother’s sister, Miriam, was a remarkable person and a great contributor to the cause of truth. She had a beautiful voice and knew of the Savior’s mission. She often sang at their gatherings—bringing the Spirit with lyrics that told of Christ’s mission. When Christ was resurrected, He first appeared to His mother, Mary, then to Miriam, and then to Mary Magdalene—His wife.

Jesus, as a rabbi, needed to be married according to Hebrew tradition. Jesus and Mary Magdalene’s daughter, Sarah, was born in Nazareth. Jesus’ mother, Mary, was probably the midwife. Mary Magdalene was a profound missionary in England. Their daughter, Sarah, married into royalty in France and died and was buried there. Our daughter, McKaylee, has traced my wife’s lineage back to Sarah.

I am guessing the drawing attached here depicts Nazareth. The people from left to right: or most probably Mary Magdalene, then Jesus’ mother, Mary, and then the little one Sarah.

Jesus built a lovely home in Capernaum for His mother, Mary, and they often had meetings there. It is often referred to in apocryphal literature as Jesus’ home, as well. Mary still had her home in Nazareth on Marmion Way. This home is probably where Sarah was born.

Jesus’ step-father, Joseph, died when Jesus was only seventeen, and while Jesus was ministering in Asia. But Joseph lived long enough to sire Jesus’ six siblings. Jesus’ siblings were close and knew of his diving mission. They could see how special He was. Their parents had taught them well.

Jesus loved to lodge and visit Lazarus and Lazarus’ sisters in Bethany. Apocryphal literature indicates they were relatives. Lazarus had three sisters: Ruth, Mary, and Martha. Ruth was married and lived in Jericho.

“Her husband was the keeper of an inn; his name was Asher-ben. Now, Asher was a Pharisee of strictest mien and thought, and he regarded Jesus with disdain. And when his wife confessed her faith in Christ, he drove her from his home.” (The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus Christ by Levi, 77:4-6) Ruth—being greatly concerned with her husband’s rejection of Jesus–came to Bethany seeking Jesus’ counsel. He told her to be loving and kind and patient and her husband would come around.

After Ruth visited with Jesus, Jesus went to Jericho ministering and performing many miracles so that Asher would see His works. The scriptures tell us that Jesus’ works testify of Him being the Messiah. Asher could see this and came to be a believer. Later, he visited Lazarus and his family in Bethany, and so that he could learn from Jesus, the promised Messiah.

Destroying Family

Satan knows it is his last hour. He and his minions are doing everything they can to destroy the traditional family. The transgender movement is a case in point. Satan has set up confusing scenarios for the millennials. The media is complicit with the adversary. More and more young people are rejecting the good traditions of their parents, and atheism is on the increase.

The glorious purpose of life has been camouflaged by Satan and his minions, and now the suicide rate is skyrocketing. And the younger generation is being affected the most. People are tending to believe more in science than in God. Technology advances are impressive. But as a physicist, I have come to know the Master Physicist. To be in step with Him is the greatest opportunity of our existence.

 Husband-wife relationship

The God-given sex drive by itself can be selfish. Not keeping it within the bounds the Lord has set can lead to pornography, rape, fornication, adultery, homosexual activities, and other sexual distortions. Within the bounds the Lord has set, it is sacred and beautiful, as the husband desires to please his wife, and the wife desires to please her husband. The sacred scriptural description is they become “one flesh.”
in their sacred marriage covenant, they have the divine potential to become co-creators with God to bring forth life on earth. The creative potential of that new life adds to the creative potential of humankind. Jordan Peterson, the world’s best psychologist, profoundly shares this same message.

When the husband and wife are bound together spiritually as well as physically, this is the beginning of the fullness of JOY the Lord has in store for the righteous. We cannot comprehend a happier path.

Satan, using the global elite, is trying to take it in the other direction with birth control, and depopulation strategies—like COVID-19. And is doing his best to destroy the traditional family.

 A Strong US President

We need a US President who is strongly Pro-family. Vivek Ramaswamy is your man. One of his main platform bullet points is how important the traditional family is. And as he clearly points out, there are only two genders. His general platform is wake-up America and come to its full potential.  And, he closes his talks with, “God bless America.”

I just received the following Fourth of July, 2023, e-mail from Vivek: “Happy Independence Day, David. We are the explorers, the pioneers, the unafraid. In God we trust, and in the government, we distrust… We are the land of the free, because of the brave.

“One year ago, we did our neighbor parade and then went straight to the hospital where Apoorva gave birth to Arjun. Today, [his one-year birthday] the little man joined us… so grateful for our family and our country.” Arjun now enjoys his older brother and his parents who are 100% devoted to the cause of liberty and to the American dream. Fifty years after signing the Declaration of Independence both Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died on the Fourth of July. So, Arjun was born on the Fourth of July 246 years after the signing of the world-famous, Declaration of Independence.

If Vivek is elected, I believe we will have a much happier Fourth of July next year. If his message is heard during this presidential campaign, that will help a lot in moving America back to her foundation of liberty and in God we trust. In the poles, he has passed up all the other Republican presidential candidates except for DeSantis and Trump. He is now closing in on DeSantis with only 6 points between them.

Sacred Home Environment

Let us make our homes a sanctuary of righteousness—following the Son of Righteousness. There the truths of God are taught and lived and shared. A family that serves one another and serves others is a family filled with the love of God. The pictures on their walls, the music enjoyed, and the feeling in the home reflects God’s infinite love for each family member.

The media is largely biased in satanic directions. But by proper filtering of media material, a family can find enjoyable, educational, and spiritually uplifting material.

Guided by the Spirit, (D&C 91:1-5) we can learn much from ancient writings about “FAMILY FIRST.” What we find in our search is glorious, and it fills one with hope and understanding of the Lord’s great divine paramount purpose for family. Without the family unit in eternity, a fullness of joy is not possible. Most people don’t think of it, but without our resurrection provided by Christ’s infinite atonement a fullness of joy is not possible. (D&C 93:33-34)

It is my hope and prayer that your family and ours will have the Spirit of Zion, where everything we do is motivated by the pure love of Christ. In so doing, we are best preparing for His glorious return, and to be part of His eternal family where we will FIND A FULLNESS OF JOY!

The Infinite Love of God

Spirituality, ,

The infinite love of God for each of us stretches our souls to perfection with the hope in our bosoms that we can be like Him. The following poem was so powerful that it became the Jewish hymnology in their synagogues used for the Feast of Weeks, which Christians know as Pentecost. In 1050 A.D. a German poet and Rabbi, Meir Ben Isaac Nehorai penned the following marvelous lines to try to touch on the majesty and magnitude of God’s love. The English translation is as follows, which ties to LOVE being the FIRST LAW of HEAVEN:

Could we with ink the ocean fill,
and were the skies of parchment made;
were ev’ry stalk on earth a quill,
and everyone a scribe by trade;
To write the love of God above,
would drain the ocean dry;
nor could the scroll contain the whole,
though stretched from sky to sky.

These words come as close as any I have seen in comprehending God’s infinite love for each of us. In turn, that makes LOVE, the first law of Heaven.

How Words and Music Came About

We have a fascinating and very inspiring story of how the words and music for “The Love of God” came about. This amazing and inspiring story shows the hand of the Lord in the details of our lives and over the ages.

German-born, Frederick Martin Lehman (1868–1953), was a famous American Christian hymn writer.  In 1917, he was working on a hymn entitled, “The Love of God,” and had written two verses, but was struggling with the third. His ten-year-old son, Blynn, wanting to help, as Divine design would have it, came across the above lyrics. A great growing experience followed for Blynn. Orchestrated by the Lord,  Blynn was led to a Jewish Rabbi, who immediately recognized the words and knew who had written them.

These words then became the third verse, and it was immediately recognized for its outstanding merit. Today, it is one of the favorite Christian hymns. Here are all three verses. These are as written by Lehman with the help from his son, Blynn:

1) The love of God is greater far,
than tongue or pen can ever tell;
it goes beyond the highest star,
and reaches to the lowest hell.

The wandering child is reconciled,
by God’s beloved Son.
The aching soul again made whole,
and priceless pardon won.

Refrain:
O love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure—
the saints’ and angels’ song.

2) When years of time shall pass away,
and earthly thrones and kingdoms fall;
when men who here refuse to pray,
on rocks and hills and mountains call;
God’s love so sure, shall still endure,
all measureless and strong;
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race,
the saints’ and angels’ song. [Refrain]

3) Could we with ink the ocean fill,
and were the skies of parchment made; 
were ev’ry stalk on earth a quill,
and everyone a scribe by trade;

To write the love of God above
would drain the ocean dry;
nor could the scroll contain the whole,
though stretched from sky to sky. [Refrain]

The movie, INDESCRIBABLE, is a very inspiring description of how the hymn, “The Love of God,” came into being. The movie is an amazing true story. The modern Christian version has varied some from Lehman’s original. They leave out verse two. I love verse two also.

God’s Primary Motive

The infinite love of God is the primary motivation for all He does. The creation, the fall, and the Lord’s infinite atonement were motivated by that love—the three pillars of eternity. Learning to love as God loves us is our pathway to perfection. This is why the first two and most important commandments are as stated in Matthew 22:37-40:

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

“On these two commandments hand all the law and the prophets.” Because of the paramount importance of LOVE, Chapter 4 of my first book, It’s About Time, is totally devoted to the grand importance of describing LOVE and sharing how to love God and our neighbor. As a major event in the end-times, we anticipate the establishment of a Zion society to be the Bride to receive the Bridegroom at His Coming. The main motivation of that society will be LOVE! Let it be our principal goal to be prepared for the same. Therein is a fullness of JOY.

Love is the First Law of Heaven

When you think about it, if all the people in the world would live these two commandments, it would solve all the world’s problems. If you don’t believe this profound statement, try to think of a situation that would not be solved if everyone lived the Law of Love?

Some believe Obedience is the first law of  Heaven. In the 14th chapter of the Gospel of John, we read, “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” In other words, if you love, you will obey. Then in verse 21 we read, we have the message that if we keep His commandments, then we love Him. In logic, if A implies B, and B implies A, then A and B are equivalent. This raises obedience to a celestial level. In other words, we obey because we want to please the Lord. Often obedience is thought of as you do it or else there will be serious consequences.

So we see that Love is the First Law of Heaven, and is equivalent to Celestial obedience. And it is this Celestial love that will solve all the world’s problems. Let us bask in God’s infinite love and internalize it ourselves. The Lord’s promise is a fullness of JOY. What could be better? Did you know the Torah is a Law of Love?

Ancient Records to Reveal Abominations

Spirituality, ,

This exposure will include both those in His Church and outside, who have been caught up in Satan’s subtle deceitful ways. The Lord has given us the tools so that we can avoid deceit and know the truth. In the midst of all the storms of life, how perfect is His Plan of Happiness prepared for the righteous? In His fairness, all nations will know of Satan’s deceit, as these ancient records are brought to light.

Records by the Gift and Power of God

We are so fortunate to have the Book of Mormon—translated by the “gift and power of God,” and we can anticipate exciting and extremely important ancient records coming forth by that same power. We will see what an enormous blessing they will be when they come forth. The scriptural accuracy of these records is of profound value in our search for truth versus error. We have God’s promise that if we will treasure up His word, we shall not be deceived (JS-M 37; JS Matt. 24:30; JS Mark 13:26 in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word will be established (2 Corinthians 13:1)).

Translation Errors in the Scriptures

Translation errors are not uncommon. We are all imperfect and what can we expect other than a translator will introduce his/her paradigm into the translation—believing it to be correct. I share in my new book that Sir Isaac Newton found significant Bible translation errors. David Bercot, after studying the teachings of the primitive Church, wrote the book, Will the Real Heretics Stand Up? He determined that current Christianity is influenced more by St. Augustine, Martin Luther, and others, than by the pure teachings of Christ due to translation errors and misinterpretations of the Bible.

Translation Errors in the Scriptures of the Restored Church

Even in the restored Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we have mistranslations that have crept into the Book of Mormon because of people’s paradigms. For example, a dear friend of ours, Gwen Winters, pointed out that in the original Book of Mormon, which was translated correctly by the “gift and power of God,” Alma 37 reads:

21 And now, I will speak unto you concerning those twenty-four plates [the Jaredite record], that ye keep them, that the mysteries and the works of darkness, and their secret works, or the secret works of those people who have been destroyed, may be made manifest unto this people; yea, all their murders, and robbings, and their plunderings, and all their wickedness and abominations, may be made manifest unto this people; yea, and that ye preserve these directors.

22 For behold, the Lord saw that his people began to work in darkness, yea, work secret murders and abominations; therefore the Lord said if they did not repent they should be destroyed from off the face of the earth.

23 And the Lord said: I will prepare unto my servant Gazelem, a stone, which shall shine forth in darkness unto light, that I may discover unto my people who serve me, that I may discover unto them the works of their brethren, yea, their secret works, their works of darkness, and their wickedness and abominations.

24 And now, my son, these directors were prepared that the word of God might be fulfilled, which he spake, saying:

25 I will bring forth out of darkness unto light all their secret works and their abominations, and except they repent I will destroy them from off the face of the earth; and I will bring to light all their secrets and abominations, unto every nation that shall hereafter possess the land. [bolding is mine]

Directors to Guide; Interpreters to Translate

The word directors were changed over the years to interpreters, which has a very different meaning. Directors are like a Liahona that guided the Lehites to the Promised Land of America in 592 B.C. Interpreters are like the Urim and Thummim (seer stone) used by the Prophet Joseph to translate the Book of Mormon by the “gift and power of God.”

Directors to Guide “my servant Gazelem” to Obtain Ancient Records and Translate with Seer “stone” for “my people who serve me” to Discover the Secret Works of Darkness, Wickedness, and Abominations of “their Brethren”

As stated in verse 24, “These directors were prepared that the word of God might be fulfilled.” In the future, we have these extremely important events where the Lord, “will prepare unto my servant Gazelem, a stone, which shall shine forth in darkness unto light, that I may discover unto my people who serve me, that I may discover unto them the works of their brethren, yea, their secret works, their works of darkness, and their wickedness and abominations.”(Bolding is mine)

So the Lord will do this for those who are serving Him—true disciples of Christ—to reveal “secret… works of darkness” among “their brethren.” In other words, the rank and file were caught up in this “wickedness and abominations.” Further, these secret works of darkness will be made known “unto every nation that shall hereafter possess the land.” In other words, these secret works of darkness, wickedness, and abominations will be made known to Americans, who have come into the possession of this “Promised Land.”

This special “servant Gazelem” will use the “directors” to take him to the “Hill Shim” (see New Book of Mormon Miracles | It’s About Time (itsabouttimebook.com)) which is the grand repository of ancient records. Then with the seer “stone” mentioned in verse 23 and by the “gift and power of God” he will translate the “24 gold plates” and the “brass plates,” which reveal the end from the beginning and “their secret works of darkness, and their wickedness and abominations” in due process as the Lord guides this monumental effort. The Lord has promised, “I will bring to light all their secrets and abominations.”

Moroni Saw our Day and these Goings on

Moroni, who saw our day more clearly than any other prophet, Who Is Moroni? | It’s About Time (itsabouttimebook.com), describes how these secret combinations destroyed the Jaredite nation about 600 B.C., and the Nephite nation about 385 A.D., and he gives this profound warning to us in Ether Chapter 8:

20 And now I, Moroni, do not write the manner of their oaths and combinations, for it hath been made known unto me that they are had among all people, and they are had among the Lamanites.

21 And they have caused the destruction of this people of whom I am now speaking [the Jaredites], and also the destruction of the people of Nephi.

22 And whatsoever nation shall uphold such secret combinations, to get power and gain, until they shall spread over the nation, behold, they shall be destroyed; for the Lord will not suffer that the blood of his saints, which shall be shed by them, shall always cry unto him from the ground for vengeance upon them and yet he avenge them not.

23 Wherefore, O ye Gentiles, it is wisdom in God that these things should be shown unto you, that thereby ye may repent of your sins, and suffer not that these murderous combinations shall get above you, which are built up to get power and gain—and the work, yea, even the work of destruction come upon you, yea, even the sword of the justice of the Eternal God shall fall upon you, to your overthrow and destruction if ye shall suffer these things to be.

24 Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this secret combination which shall be among you; or wo be unto it, because of the blood of them who have been slain; for they cry from the dust for vengeance upon it, and also upon those who built it up.

25 For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries; and it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people, for it is built up by the devil, who is the father of all lies; even that same liar who beguiled our first parents, yea, even that same liar who hath caused man to commit murder from the beginning; who hath hardened the hearts of men that they have murdered the prophets, and stoned them, and cast them out from the beginning.

26 Wherefore, I, Moroni, am commanded to write these things that evil may be done away, and that the time may come that Satan may have no power upon the hearts of the children of men, but that they may be persuaded to do good continually, that they may come unto the fountain of all righteousness and be saved.

It is fascinating that the coming forth of these ancient records by the “gift and power of God” will help “clear the air” and prepare a people for Christ’s glorious millennial reign. These secret works of darkness and abominations will be revealed and destroyed along with those who uphold them. Note, the Lord commands us to be awake when these things come among us–implied to do what we can to help expose them and put them down.

A more Recent Translation Error

We take it as a given that Joseph Smith’s translation was by the gift and power of God. I noticed a more recent mistranslation error that crept in over the years. For Christmas in 1954, my parents gave me a most wonderful gift—the 1953 edition of the scriptures for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was that book that helped me bring many souls to Christ during my Eastern States Mission (1956-1958), and I truly fell in love with the author of them. I learned in my recent research that the phrase “and shall reject the fulness of my gospel” (3 Nephi 16:10) had been removed from this 1953 edition. I noticed it had been put back in my 1979 edition of the scriptures. This scripture is a central message of both of my books, (It’s About Time and Time & Eternity, the End-Times and Beyond Revealed, available from Amazon and from www.ItsAboutTimeBook.com), as the Savior declares as He has been commanded by the Father do so: “At that day when the Gentiles shall sin against my gospel [the Bible gospel], and shall reject the fulness of my gospel, and shall be lifted up in the pride of their hearts above all nations…”

The only ones who can reject the “fulness” are those who have it through the restoration of the Prophet Joseph Smith in bringing forth the Book of Mormon containing the “fulness of mine everlasting gospel” (D&C 27:5). So, the Savior is saying, “when,” not “if,” that happens and the Gentiles commit the atrocities listed in Third Nephi 16:10 then, “I will bring the fulness of my gospel from among them. And then will I remember my covenant which I have made unto my people, O House of Israel, and I will bring my gospel unto them” (3 Nephi 16:10-11). I am guessing the above phrase was removed because they felt we hadn’t rejected the “fulness.” The signs are evident; we are at that juncture when the FIRST (Israel) is becoming the LAST, and the LAST (the Gentiles) have become the FIRST with the restoration, but have now “rejected the fulness of my gospel,” as we see far too many Americas [the Gentile nation spoken of] are in moral decline and doing all the sins listed in 3 Nephi 16:10D

How Blessed we are to have our Good God in Charge

We live in that exciting time when “nothing shall be withheld” (D&C 121:28), as the Lord opens up the path to prepare the way for His Coming. For those who are serving Him, they have the very bright hope that the records coming forth—translated by the gift and power of God—will destroy the secret abominations and those who perpetrate them. Clearly, the most important thing we can do is to repent and come fully to the God of this land, who is Jesus the Christ, and to love Him and serve Him and love Him with all our heart, might, mind, and strength.

The Message of Gladness

Spirituality

My wife, Edna, and I served a year and a half mission in Cote d’Ivoire, West Africa, in 1997-99 for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Our theme for our mission was “The Message of Gladness” as we worked with the Saints and the wonderful people there.

The following is a summary of our amazing and unusual Missionary Farewell experience.

A Special Musical Composition

In preparation for our farewell, scheduled for July 1997 I asked our oldest son, Sterling, who was living with us at the time and was a very good pianist and composer, to prepare some music for us around the inspired architecture of the Washington D. C. Temple.

At the end of May, I was scheduled to go to Boulder, CO, to teach at their annual time and frequency seminar. Time was running out and we had not seen much progress with the composition. I asked Sterling if he wanted a priesthood blessing, and he said, “Of course, I would appreciate that.” It was a sweet blessing, and when we came back over a week later, we witnessed a miracle, as he had pretty much finished this amazing composition that my wife named, THE MESSAGE OF GLADNESS.

COVID-19Vaccine Made Before Pandemic

COVID Conspiracy Revealed

Dr. Mercola just released a bombshell exposing the COVID-19 conspiracy.  You can read all about it on his website.  I share that link below.  He shares that Moderna, along “with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), sent mRNA coronavirus vaccine candidates to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on December 12, 2019 — raising significant red flags.”

They sent, “mRNA coronavirus vaccine candidates developed and jointly-owned by NIAID and Moderna” to the university.  This procedure was signed by Ralph Baric, who worked closely with Wuhan Institute of Virology’s Shi Zhengli, Ph.D.

CDC Planning to Coadminister Flu and COVID-19 Vaccines to Children; This is Criminal

Furthermore, Dr. Mercola shares that “Without evidence that supported the decision, the CDC unanimously decided to coadminister flu and COVID-19 vaccines. Coadministration may raise the risk of COVID. Here’s why children should not get the vaccine.”  This is a conspiratorial travesty of major dimensions.

The New World Order Globalists are Behind this Travesty

A similar conspiratorial travesty can be found about Fauci and Pfizer.  The New World Order Globalists, who are promoting these conspiratorial activities, have two basic goals: world depopulation and the transfer of wealth to them.  “As we speak” their goals are being realized.

FALSE THEORY

The theory that the only cure for the pandemic is a vaccine has been proven FALSE.  As has been shown, there are many alternative cures, and the best one is to have a strong immunity system.  God made our miraculous bodies to heal.

You can read all about it on Dr. Joseph Mercola’s website.  This conspiracy was revealed by him on 9 July 2021, but many of his past ones have been most revealing as well regarding the NWO’s seditious agenda.

Exciting GPS Improvements and Opportunities

Science, ,

GPS Beginnings

The beginnings of the Global Position System concept, better known as GPS, was first recognized by USA scientists in 1957. They were tracking Russia’s launch of the spacecraft, Sputnik, the first artificial satellite that orbited the earth. It was then that members of the U.S. aeronautical and military spheres realized that satellite-based positioning was technically feasible and foreseeable.

GPS Role and Benefits

GPS has become a life-changing technology. There are thousands of benefits that we enjoy every day. For example, GPS signals give accurate, concise, pinpoint information and is used to synchronize time. It can locate objects as well as humans with high accuracy. It helps you get from point A to point B. GPS systems are in your car, your watch, your smartphone. Maps, shopping, dating are just a few benefits we enjoy because of smartphones, which have GPS receivers in them.

GPS has other major ramifications on the way we live that many may not be aware of. Just to name a few: airplanes are now capable of landing on autopilot. It is used for earthquake detection and measurement, precision farming, road construction, and surveying. Law enforcement uses GPS not only to catch the bad guy but for instant dispatching and safety monitoring such as “Amber Alert”. Even banking and the stock market depend upon GPS technology.

It is estimated that GPS has generated around $1.4 trillion in economic benefits since it was made available in the 1980s. The GPS miracle is available to anyone in the world at no cost. What a wonderful time to be alive.

The Father of GPS

Bradford Parkinson is best known as the lead architect, advocate, and developer of GPS.  He is also an emeritus professor from Stanford University.  There were many who contributed to GPS as we know it today. However, I consider Brad Parkinson to be the Father of GPS and the grand orchestrator of this marvelous technology.

Along with my colleagues in the Time and Frequency Division at NBS/NIST, in Colorado, it was my privilege back in the ‘60s until I retired in 1992, to give seminars on the use of atomic clocks. Many of the Air Force people would come to those seminars as they were designing and building up the GPS.

I remember Brad well. He was then an Air Force Colonel and had attained a Ph.D. from Stanford University. He was leading the GPS development team and attended one of the classes I was teaching. I can even remember one of the questions he asked because it was so relevant since atomic clocks are the heart of GPS.

Horrific – Cataclysmic or Glorious Conditions

Spirituality, , ,

A Scientific Perspective

Many fear and have deep concerns in their hearts about the days ahead – given what is happening in the world.

The sciences tend to assume that things are in a steady-state; how things are today is like they were yesterday.  Hence, the evolution of humankind over millions of years back to a one-celled whatever.  In contrast, the Lord often uses cataclysmic events to do His work – getting our attention to such non-steady-state and important events.  For example, the fall of Adam and Eve, Noah’s flood, the events around the birth and death of our Savior.  And in the last days, we can anticipate several massive and cataclysmic events, some of which I will share below.  It will move us all to the core of our souls and be far from a “steady state.”  Some big surprises for scientists are coming.

A Divine Perspective

The Lord has revealed the last days to many of the prophets.  It will be the best of times and the worst of times.  It is called the “great and dreadful day of the Lord.”  A great day for the righteous and looking forward to the Glorious return of our Lord and Savior.  In contrast, it is a dreadful day for the wicked and horrendous, as apparently, the “world is coming apart.”  Does the Lord work through cataclysmic events?  Indeed, He does, and we will see many in the years ahead!

The Lord has shared a fascinating perspective regarding the future, “which our forefathers have awaited with anxious expectation to be revealed in the least times, which their minds were pointed to by the angels, as held in reserve for the fulness of their glory.”: “A time to come in the which nothing shall be withheld…” (D&C 121:26-28)  If we will open our hearts and minds, we can “be made partakers of the glories which are to be revealed in the last days, as it was written by the prophets and apostles in days of old.” (D&C 66:2)  And we have this great and exciting promise from the Lord:

Yea, verily I say unto you, in that day when the Lord shall come, he shall reveal all things.  Things which have passed, and hidden things which no man knew, things of the earth, by which it was made, and the purpose and the end thereof – Things most precious, things that are above, and things that are beneath, things that are in the earth, and upon the earth, and in heaven. (D&C 101:32-34)
