The King James Version of the Bible (KJB), translated mostly by William Tyndale, has had more influence on the world spiritually than any other book since its publication in 1611 — over 400 years ago. In addition, there are more copies of it published than any other book by a factor of ten; more than a billion have been published and the publishing rate increases. No other book exceeds that.

Fast Food Is Killing Americans
Fast food is Killing Americans and should probably carry a warning from the surgeon general. The fast food American diet is a disaster and the epidemic diseases are increasing. These foods are so common today but destructive of our health. We are digging our graves with our teeth with what we eat.
This Need not be So
America’s Greatest Need – Repentance?
The greatest need in America is faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and repentance. Christ “is the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6) to get back to the Father. To hope for political processes to save America only is hopeless! If we will ask, He will help us in our political processes, but ultimately our hope is in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and repentance from all of our sins. Repentance under the Lord can be expressed simply as “A turning away from evil and turning back to God.” In this endeavor there is not only a change of mind but a change of heart and actions. It is only thorough our faith in Him and repentance can we be the full recipients of His infinite atonement and have eternal life — life with God here and hereafter. Can you see why this is this the greatest need for American?

The Infinite Atonement of Jesus Christ
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)

Who Are The Gentiles? Message From An Ancient Prophet
Who are the Gentiles?
To the Jews, they are all who are not Jewish. To the Mormons, they are all who are not Mormon outside of the Jews and the scattered tribes of Israel. The term gentile is used to describe “outsiders”, or outside of the covenant.
Who are the covenant people cited in the scriptures? The covenant people are generally considered “The House of Israel”, those who came from the loins of Jacob and have been scattered. However, the Prophet Joseph Smith states that there are many nations who are considered gentiles, including those who came to settle the United States, even though they may be from the House of Israel. He also states the Mormons are identified with the Gentiles. D&C 109:60. Covenant people are simply those who keep their covenants and trust in the Lord and not the arm of flesh (Psalms 118:8).

Remarkable Angel Assistance Stories
One of the many ways God talks to us
Angel Assistance is a gift our Father in Heaven provides for his children on this earth. In fact, the word angel means “messenger” or “agent”. Helping Angels are God’s agents who provided protection, give us direction, deliver messages, and serve us in very personal ways according to our righteous desires and needs.
Protection: Psalm 91: 11 – “For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways”. For example, an angel was sent to Daniel in the lions’ den to shut the mouths of the lions. Daniel 6:11-14.
Direction: Exodus 23:20 – When the children of Israel left Egypt the Lord said, “Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
Messages: In Genesis 18, God sent messengers to Abraham and Sarah to tell them she would bear a son. Gabriel was sent to Mary to tell her that she would give birth to the Son of God. One of our daughters was visited by our grandson telling her he wanted to be born. Angels speak the words of Christ to us, and as we ask, they will tell us “all things what you should do.” (2 Nephi 32:3)

A Miracle In Houston
I believe in miracles but have never experienced one so profoundly clear as I did this past week.
Last Monday, (14 May 2018) I had a stroke. I was packing the truck getting ready to go to the airport to give an invited talk in Houston in conjunction with the 2018 IEEE Keithley Award. Our neighbor, Natalie Wright, who had been visiting us, could tell something was wrong, and said, “Dave, are you alright?” I had dropped my keys to the ground and had trouble picking them up and my speech was slurred. She immediate called her husband, Kevin, who was home, to come over. He is a State Highway Patrol Sargeant, and he knew what to do.

Miracles in the details of the coming forth of the Book of Mormon
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.
Recent historical information coming from the Joseph Smith papers, Jonathan Neville, David Hocking, provide significant insights and many documented miracles (see Whatever Happened to the Golden Plates?

The Firm Foundation Expo – Layton – David W Allan
Where we are in God’s TIME
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.
One lady from Spain told me that she had lost her faith and came to the conference hoping to get it back, and that my talk was what she had hoped to find. I rejoice to help the Lord in this most important work of helping His children come to know Him and to be on that path that leads to the greatest of happiness in this life and a fullness of joy in the life to come.

Planting Seeds and a Fullness of Joy
You have heard, “You can count the seeds in an apple, but you cannot count the apples in a seed!” Implicit in this statement is the infinite nature of the universe. In the spring we plant our seeds in the garden and then after nourishing them and watering them we observe the miracle as they produce perhaps 100-fold after their own kind.
Like the parable of the mustard seed, we plant seeds of faith, and as they are nourished we grow in understanding of God’s marvelous ways, of His infinite love, of His Son’s infinite atonement, which gives full purpose to all of humanity and a hope for a fullness of joy in the eternities.
A husband and wife have the sacred privilege of planting seeds and having precious children in a healthy, happy, family setting. We come to understand that the family is the most important unit in time and eternity, that family is the order in heaven, and that we can be an eternal family and receive a fullness of joy. Hence, God has asked us to call Him, Father in Heaven.
