The Land Of Promise Testified

Spirituality, ,

The Land of Promise is testified by modern scripture, by the DNA of the North American Indians, by glottology (the study of languages), and by artifacts and archeology. The oral histories of native Americans and the living voices of the North American Indians also testify that the Promised Land of the Book of Mormon is not in Central or South America.

Book of Mormon Conferences

About 12 years ago, Rod Meldrum of “Book of Mormon Evidence” began to offer Conferences that supported the thesis that the Book of Mormon peoples resided in the “Heartland” of America” rather than in South America. Since then, there has been more and more evidence to support the claim that Lehi and his family came from Israel to the North American Continent. Duane Erickson, Wayne May, Steve Smoot, Jonathan Neville and several others have contributed significantly to this knowledge base.

Recently, “The Land of Promise” Conference was held last week on June 21-22, 2024 in Spanish Fork Utah. All conference speakers supported the thesis that the Book of Mormon events took place in Israel and the North American Continent. I’m guessing about 900 people were attending the conference. There were 15 Individual speakers over the two days.

Special Guest Chief Midegah

Wayne May, the conference founder and organizer, was able to obtain a last-minute special guest to speak at the conference. It was Chief Midegah from the Ojibwe tribe. He came to the forefront about a month ago when my good friends, Brian Nettles, David Hocking, Kristen Watts, and I had the opportunity to interview Chief Midegah on YouTube. The exposure created a whirlwind. Several other YouTube hosts were anxious to interview Chief Midegah also.
Within a week, there were over a hundred thousand visits to various YouTube sites. His information has taken YouTube by storm. Chief Midegah is a Chief to be reckoned with. Details about his background and credentials can be found on the Book of Mormon Heartland website.

Conference Speakers

Chief Midegah gave two lectures at the conference sharing tons of fascinating information about native American history. He was the main drawing card for the conference. All of the conference lectures were excellent.

It was wonderful to meet the chief personally. Wayne May took this picture of us, and the Chief said to me, “David and David;” His name is David Taylor.

My good friend and researcher, Utahna Jessop, spoke about the Jaredite giants in North America. She recently found Jaredite burials near Kanab, Utah. She shared some new additional information. It was fascinating.

John Brewer kept a journal, and Utahna followed his research in detail.  She has done a great job in documenting his findings in the cave that he found in Manti, Utah. When he found the cave, he was visited by an angel by the name of Ether who told him to protect his findings and do nothing for monetary gain. For those who may not be familiar with the Book of Mormon, Ether was the last prophet before the Jaredite nation was destroyed in a massive civil war around 600 B.C. ending near the Hill Cumorah in upstate New York.

I told Utahna that her findings were “pure gold.” She has an excellent DVD telling of her additional research. Some of her lectures are available on YouTube. She is a dear friend of ours and has permitted me to share her phone number (801) 717-6295 if you wish to get a DVD of her lecture from her directly.

Highlights of My Conference Address

1. Since the conference was held close to the date and time of the summer solstice (2051 UTC, 20 June 2024) and we had a full moon, I pointed out to the audience that makes the moon’s orbit the lowest while the sun’s orbit is the highest for us north of the “Tropic of Cancer.” The opposite is true for those south of the “Tropic of Capricorn.”

2. I pointed out that the great Jaredite prophet, Mahonri Moriancumer, saw the end from the beginning in his comprehensive vision. As a result, the Jaredites knew the phases of the moon, and they mapped out the plan of salvation in the majestic earthworks near Newark, Ohio. They knew, as part of his vision, that the moon would be in the position of the divine ratio—lined up with the millennium and celestial kingdom at the date and time of Savior’s birth.

3. The printing of the Book of Mormon was a major compressed-time miracle. It should have taken at least 17 ½ months to print and bind 5,000 copies, but it was done in the Lord’s compressed-time frame of just over 6 months. In addition, the Lord revealed to me that He had Joseph Smith print them so that the height by width was in the Divine ratio—a unique feature. Both of these are Divine “fingerprints” of the Lord’s doings with the coming forth of that great book and made Utah a state around that book.

4. The Lord has blessed me greatly because as a praying physicist I have chosen to do things His way rather than my way. I shared how He has made my name and work famous in the precise timing, navigation, and telecom communities. Now because He has done that for me, I am able to share the gospel across the globe. My book’s website, www.ItsAboutTimeBook.com, has well over 200 thousand visits from over 100 nations. And its popularity is ever-increasing regardless of whether I am alive or dead! If you Google “Allan variance,” you will get over three million results, and its usefulness continues to grow. THANK YOU, LORD!

Once the Lord taught me that the original copies of the Book of Mormon were printed in the Divine ratio. I had my next book (2023), Time & Eternity, The End-Times & Beyond Revealed, printed in the Divine ratio in honor of those first 5,000 copies.

5. From the scriptures, I shared that the first law of heaven is LOVE. And that celestial love is equivalent to celestial obedience because we do things to please the Lord. That takes obedience out of the “do your duty” level to the joy of bringing honor and glory to the Lord. As we do things with an “eye single” to His glory, the joy in our hearts follows. If everyone were to live the Law of Love, it would solve all the world’s problems. We would have an ideal pure-in-heart ZION society where we are all of one heart are one mind. And there would be no poor among us.

6. There are 1,800 phrases in our scriptures that tie back to the language of Adam. Their distribution and use in both the eastern and western hemispheres and over the history of the earth give pure Divine validity to our scriptures. True science harmonizes with true religion, which is a fundamental message of my book, It’s About Time.

7. In my search for truth, I have three criteria: 1) If God says it, then I know it; 2) We cannot prove a theory true, we don’t know enough, only God knows enough; but 3) If we have reliable data, we can prove a theory false. The theory of organic evolution and the big bang theory have been proven false, and the world chooses to ignore those proofs. I examine the two theories for Book of Mormon geography: Heartland and Mesoamerica. I share nine proofs that the Mesoamerica theory is false, and I share the words from the prophets that the Heartland model is correct.

8. The Lord gives us signs in the heavens. There were three recent solar eclipses over the USA making alpha and omega over the “Land of Promise.” Also, I share the Lord’s sign in the heavens on the 23rd of September 2017 of His promise to bring forth Zion in preparation for His coming—as promised in Revelations Chapter 12.

9. The story of Vinney Tolman happened in 2003 in Orem, Utah. It was a remarkable Lazurus experience for Vinney because he died and was put in a body bag. The Spirit whispered to the EMT attending, “This man is not dead!” He took action and brought him back from the dead. While across the veil, Vinney was taught ten celestial principles by his great-great-great grandfather, as he moved ever closer to the LIGHT:
1. Be authentic.
2. Understand the purpose of life. Life is not a test, but a grand opportunity to learn the truth.
3. Love everyone. God’s main motivation is to love; His creations and our lives are a direct manifestation of His infinite love.
4. Listen to your inner voice. (See Moroni 7:29-31)
5. Use technology responsibly. Many are addicted to technology–their cell phones, e.g.
6. Release prejudice. There is no prejudice in heaven.
7. Exercise the power of creation. Our Creator made us to be creators.
8. Avoid negative influences.
9. Understand the purpose of evil. All the evil in the world has caused many to turn to atheism or agnosticism because they don’t understand. (Read Chapter 2 of It’s About Time to get a full understanding.
10. Know that we are all one. The Savior prayed for us to be one (John 17), and it was brought to beautiful fruition here in the Land of Promise (Read Third Nephi 19).

September Conference in Fond Du Lac Wisconsin

Brian Nettles has organized a conference this September in Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin, and attendance is already sold out. He has opened up Saturday to Chief Midegah. The Chief is bringing two Rabbis and five other Native American friends. They will be sharing their Ojibwe Outreach historical information. On Friday, Brian has several other notable speakers on the Book of Mormon. It should be a fascinating conference.

Available Presentation Material

I have given countless lectures over my career path, and I believe this one had more impact on the audience than any I have ever given. Over the months of preparation, I asked the Lord, “Thou knowest who will be there, and I don’t. Will you help me prepare to best help them?” And the Lord answered my prayer. I got a standing ovation at the end, and 30 people asked for copies of my slides.

For those who couldn’t attend the conference, a view of the slides of my lecture are available. They are quite detailed since I had to go quickly over the material in the 50 minutes allotted to me. Simply click: David Allan Spanish Fork Conference.

Book of Mormon Conference Review – April 2019

Spirituality, , , ,

The Book of Mormon Evidence Conference was a smashing success (11-13 April 2019) – showing the Book of Mormon to be a Hebrew text and proving its validity with strong Jewish traditions.

Joseph Smith prophesied that the world would prove him a prophet.  We are there.  The millennials want proof and to know what is true; we have it for them.

I have never had so many sincere complements on a presentation that I have given. I offered proof of where the Book of Mormon took place and why it is very important for America to wake up and REPENT – to come to the God of this land, who is Jesus the Christ!  The backgroud for my address came from an article I have written.

Two of the conference speakers were Jewish converts.  I received permission from Robert Kay, who is a Cohen descendent and well learned in the traditions of the Jews, to tell about his conversion story and his contributions pertaining to Hebraisms in the Book of Mormon. 

I am reading again his version of the Book of Mormon showing the Hebraisms and how it profoundly ties to the Adamic language as well as to Hebrew culture.  LDS Living published an article showing my research on the Adamic language. 

Book of Mormon Midrash

Most people don’t know what a Hebrew Midrash is:  The Torah (the five books of Moses) is explained in great detail by the Tabbies in the Talmud.  In the Talmud they often uses a Midrash to show the significance and implications of meaning to a particular verse of scripture.

At the conference I was greatly impressed to learn that Nephi, Jacob, and Abinadi were doing Hebrew Midrashs on the scriptures they were quoting from Isaiah and Zenos.  In particular, Nephi is doing a Midrash on Isaiah 48 and 49 (1 Nephi 20 and 21) in 1 Nephi 22 – showing its relevance for our day.  This chapter has been one of my favorites over the years; now it has even greater meaning.  In addition, Nephi is doing a Midrash on Isaiah chapters 2-14 (compare 2 Nephi 12-24) just after he quotes them.  His Midrash follows in 2 Nephi 25-29.

Jacob is doing a Midrash on Zeno’s allegory as he shares it and his comments in Jacob 4-6.  I have a blog article showing the significance of this allegory: Some of Zenos’s writings were found in 1906.

Abinadi is testifying of the atonement of Christ in King Noah’s court as he does a Midrash on Isaiah 53 before he was martyred.  See Mosiah chapters 14-16.  Abinadi’s testimony converted Alma.  The impact of the conversions of Alma and his son, Alma the younger, have impacted millions of lives in bringing them to Christ.

Some of the protagonists say that Joseph copied scriptures from the Bible into the Book of Mormon.  At the conference, this was proven not true.  There are 433 verses of Isaiah in the Book of Mormon and over half of them are significantly different, and those differences often reflect the Hebraisms.

The historical documentation around the coming forth of the Book of Mormon proves its divinity.  It was translated in approximately 65 days and the printing was a miracle also.

In contrast, it took the 51 King James scholars seven years to pull together the KJV of the Bible, then 76 % of what they used was William Tyndale’s translation.

Book of Mormon Museum

Jonathan Neville gave three great presentations at the conference and shared their grand plan to put a Book of Mormon museum in Washington D.C. with scriptures on the face of the museum showing that, “The Book of Mormon is a sacred book of ancient scripture that is evidence of God’s love for all people of the world.”

Book of Jasher

At the conference, I learned from David Hocking that the Book of Jasher, which is referenced in the Bible but not included, was found in Europe in Hebrew and translated into English in 1840 – ten years after the Book of Mormon was published.  The Book of Jasher has 91 chapters and covers from Adam down to Joshua.  Like the Bible, the Book of Mormon references contents of the Book of Jasher.  This itself shows direct evidence of the validity of the Book of Mormon.

David Hocking and Rod Meldrum are the editors of the newly published Annotated Book of Mormon, which sold 5,000 copies of the first printing last Fall.  They have printed 20 thousand more and they are nearly gone.  Rod has added quotes from the prophets and pictures of likely places for the geography.  I have read it and believe it is one the best books on the planet to build faith in the Lord and to show that America is the Promised Land spoken of in the Book of Mormon and prophesied of in the Bible.

Timothy Ballard Address

The capstone talk of the conference was Timothy Ballard’s.  Tim has probably done more than any other human on the planet to stop the horrible human trafficking problem.  He has consulted with President Trump on this problem, been on the Glen Beck show, written the bestselling book, The American Covenant, and has saved a large number of children along with arresting many of those involved with this heinous sin.  One of the amazing arrests of 15 perpetrators of child pedophelia and the saving of 125 children in that operation was so significant that Columbia Pictures is going to make a movie of it that should be out this November, “The Sounds of Freedom.”

Tim also shared a synopsis of his bestselling book, The Lincoln Hypothesis, showing how the Book of Mormon changed Lincoln’s life and religious freedom in this country.  It is an amazing story and a story everyone should know.

It is so exciting to see the Lord’s hand in sharing the gospel around the world and to be a part of it.  The best thing we can do is to “learn of me…” (Matt. 11: 28-30) “find rest unto your souls.” Live and share His glorious message of LOVE.
