Isaiah Institute Virtual Conference

Spirituality,

On the 8th of November 2025, the Isaiah Institute hosted a virtual conference for only $24.95—the price of a book. In the comfort of my home, I attended the conference. For me, the information was gold. I learned a lot. It is still available, and the price remains the same today.

The General Conferences of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints inspire me. However, I learned so much more from the Isaiah Institute’s virtual conference, which is about the last days.

With this virtual conference, they celebrated the 25th year of the Isaiah Institute. The Institute is based on the pioneering work of Dr. Avraham Gileadi. This virtual conference also celebrated the 50th year of Avraham commencing his incredibly important work on the Book of Isaiah.

Gileadi has become the best person in the world at unfolding the great latter-day significance of the 66 chapters of the Book of Isaiah. The speakers at this virtual conference give you great hope as Avraham’s insights from Isaiah paint a clear picture of the End-Times scenario.

It is important to understand that the Davidic servant prepares the way for the Savior’s Second Coming. How to be part of the Zion society, which is coming, is of great importance. The virtual conference speakers do a great job of amplifying on these fundamental messages.

Conference Still Available

Thanks to the internet opens the door in sharing this virtual conference. Anyone can take advantage of it now at the same incredibly low price. Many bonus features are available as well. One of the bonus features is that you receive free copies of the notes for all the speakers. Avraham has assembled an amazing team of speakers. Avraham was the keynote speaker, the last speaker. He gave an outstanding presentation as well.

The main difference between General Conference talks and this “Virtual Conference” is that every one of the speakers was changed dramatically when they came to understand the words of Isaiah. Avraham has opened this book to the world like never before.

Conversion Story

Avraham permitted me to share his conversion story, how the Book of Mormon converted him during his five years in Israel. There, he learned the “manner of the Jews.” He then went on to study the Book of Isaiah—opening up the layered meanings relevant to the latter days. He also opened up the far-reaching role of the Davidic servant who will prepare the way for the Savior’s Second Coming and help the Lord bring about Zion—the ideal society.

The Lord commanded us: “Yea, a commandment I give unto you that ye search these things diligently, for great are the words of Isaiah.  For surely he spake as touching all things concerning my people which are of the house of Israel; therefore it must needs be that he must speak also to the Gentiles.” (3 Nephi 23:1-2) More than anyone else, Avraham has taken this commandment seriously.

Words Are Being Fulfilled

Much of this “Virtual Conference” explained how the words of Isaiah are being fulfilled in our day just as the Savior prophesied: “Ye remember that I spake unto you, and said that when the words of Isaiah should be fulfilled—behold they are written, ye have them before you, therefore search them— And verily, verily, I say unto you, that when they shall be fulfilled then is the fulfilling of the covenant which the Father hath made unto his people, O house of Israel. And then shall the remnants, which shall be scattered abroad upon the face of the earth, be gathered in from the east and from the west, and from the south and from the north; and they shall be brought to the knowledge of the Lord their God, who hath redeemed them.” (3 Nephi 20:11-13) And for the establishing of Zion as the Lord brings it forth.

Conference Speakers

Brooke Dalling, the former president of the Isaiah Institute, did a great job introducing the conference and the speakers.
Here are the titles of the lectures:
1. Honoring Isaiah
2. Empowering Influence on my Covenant Path
3. Forfeiting idolatry in Babylon for true worship in Zion
4. How Isaiah healed my family after COVID.
5. My life experience: Applying the Words of Isaiah
6. Understanding End-Time Prophecy gives one Hope
7. The Woman Zion Remarries the God of Israel.
8. My Experience of Descent and Ascent in Japan (This was an incredible talk; Dr. Kenichi Shimokawa, who is a dear friend of Avraham’s, has translated the book, Visions of Glory, into Japanese and is nearly done with the Book of Isaiah in Japanese.)
9. The current President, Stephen Beckstead, shared some remarks about the great work going forward for the Isaiah Institute.
10. Avraham Gileadi, “Fulfilling our birthright role of the Tribe of Ephraim.

In Our Pre-Mortal Mission on Earth

We were each given a mission in our pre-mortal epoch by our infinitely loving Father in Heaven that would be best for us. I believe Avraham Gileadi’s mission is to open the great importance of the Book of Isaiah to the world. As we approach the Second Coming of our Lord and Savior, we should understand the Book of Isaiah. Avraham also opens up the important role of the Davidic servant in preparing the way for the Lord’s coming. This “Virtual Conference” will open up these insights for you. I encourage you to take advantage of this amazing conference.  Sign Up Today !!!!

P.S. Avraham is a dear friend, and he permitted me to publish the Isaiah scriptures describing the role of the Davidic servant in Chapter 19 of my book, My Revelations.  It is available on Amazon and from Digitalegend.com.

Fascinating Church Statistics

Spirituality, , ,

 

As a missionary-minded member, I have been keeping track of the conversion rate for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  They issue a statistical report each year at their General Conference in April.

A Downward Trend

I noticed a significant downward trend in the number of converts per thousand members of the Church over the four decades, from when President Spencer W. Kimball was the Prophet up until COVID-19. The conversion decrease rate was –0.9 converts per thousand members per year. Then I did a linear regression analysis on those four decades. If that trend were to continue, there would be no converts after the year 2032.

This decrease is mainly due to the worldly encroachment on the members of the Church. Knowing that it is the Lord’s church and that a pure-in-heart, ZION, society is coming in preparation for the Lord’s Second Coming, I was confident the Lord had a solution to this encroachment problem.

An Upward Trend

I am fascinated to see this rate turn around after COVID-19. I just obtained the data from the last General Conference in 2024. In the plot, one can see there has been a major turnaround. 

The conversion rate has increased by 132% over the last four years, and it is still increasing. The rate now is 2.5 converts per year per thousand members.

Interestingly, the converts are mainly coming from outside the United States. Our current President of the Church, Russell M. Nelson, has asked that all worthy young men, who are able, to serve missions. I am guessing that the Sister Missionaries are helping the conversion rate significantly. They go because they desire to serve the Lord and bring souls unto Christ.

Both Sides Of The Vale

We are the only church doing missionary work on both sides of the veil. The number of operating temples across the globe is now 193. President Nelson announced 15 more temples during the April 2025 General Conference. One is to be built in Spanish Fork, Utah, my “own backyard,” I was born and raised in Mapleton, just next door. Undoubtedly, the blessings of the temple are increasing the ZION mentality of the members and their desires to share the good news of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.

The last statistical report showed a slight decrease in the rate of the total number of members. I am guessing that the birthrate amongst the members has affected that rate. Also, fewer young people are getting married. We live in an interesting time. However, it is fascinating to see the Lord’s answer to the Babylonian encroachment on the members of the Church, as convert rates accelerate. We know the Lord has a solution to every problem, and it is fascinating to see that happening, as shown in the above chart.

Timely Warning

Our Father in heaven warned us of this time as shared by Jesus to the Nephites and to us: “And thus commandeth the Father that I should say unto you: At that day when the Gentiles shall sin against my gospel and shall reject the fulness of my gospel, and shall be lifted up in the pride of their hearts above all nations, and above all the people of the whole earth, and shall be filled with all manner of lyings, and of deceits, and of mischiefs, and all manner of hypocrisy, and murders, and priestcrafts, and whoredoms, and of secret abominations; and if they shall do all those things, and shall reject the fulness of my gospel, behold, saith the Father, I will bring the fulness of my gospel from among them… But if the Gentiles will repent and return unto me, saith the Father, behold they shall be numbered among my people, O house of Israel.” (3 Nephi 16:10, 13

The only ones who can reject “the fulness of my gospel” are those who have it—the members of the Lord’s Church. Those who “sin against my gospel”— the Bible gospel are under condemnation as well if they are guilty of the listed sins. Unfortunately, we see those sins happening, as Babylon the Great ripens in iniquity, which is a major sign of the times

He Gives Us Answers

He gives us the answer on how to be a pure in-heart people, ZION, and to be gathered out of Babylon the Great. “Listen to the voice of Jesus Christ, your Redeemer, the Great I AM, whose arm of mercy hath atoned for your sins; Who will gather his people even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, even as many as will hearken to my voice and humble themselves before me, and call upon me in mighty prayer.” (D&C 29:1-2).

He further 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)

I have a chapter in my new book, My Revelations, on the importance of being ONE with the Lord and how to do that. My publisher, Boyd Tuttle, has done a superlative job describing my motivation in writing this book on the back cover. Two of the chapters make it a must buy: THE SCIENCE OF THE SHROUD OR TURIN MIRACLE is bringing atheists and agnostics to Christ, and MESSIAH BEN JOSEPH AND MESIAH BEN DAVID has the “latter day servant’s” role in preparing for the Savior’s Second Coming. Avraham Gileadi has kindly shared with me his great insights, as the world’s best expert on the Book of Isaiah.

The Lord is gathering His people, Israel. Let us not only be part of this ideal society but help as many as we can to turn to the Lord and to be ONE with Him.
