The Perfect Infinite Atonement

Spirituality, , ,

How do you comprehend the incomprehensible? As mortals, we cannot! But let us seek with body, mind, and spirit to internalize the Lord’s Perfect Infinite Atonement amid all our imperfections. We are promised Eternal Life (John 17:3)–the greatest of all the gifts of God, as we do so. (D&C 14:7)

Other Books To Come Forth

Seven is the number of perfection or completeness in the Lord’s arithmetic, and there are seven steps to His Perfect and Infinite Atonement. Furthermore, there are seven sub-steps within each of those incredible steps the Savior completed for us.  In addition, in the Book of Mormon, 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 “Perfect and 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 Arimathea is 247 pages of GOLD. This the gospel that Joseph of Arimathea took to England. And Dezert’s “The CRUCIFIXION REPORT of PONTUS PILOT to TIBERIUS CAESAR” is a major contribution.

Ferrar Fenton

Ferrar Fenton, M.R.A.S. (1832-1920) was a London businessman, manufacturer, and financial organizer. He is perhaps most well-known for translating The Bible into Modern English, commonly referred to as the Ferrar Fenton Bible. Fenton’s translation was a life time avocation–desiring to go back to the original languages; he purposely avoided other translations–seeking the purity of the original revelations of the Bible. He spent approximately fifty years working on his translation. His goal was “to study the Bible absolutely in its original languages, to ascertain what its writers actually said and thought. Ferrar Fenton – Wikipedia.

Aquarian Gospel Of Jesus Christ

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.

Christians Miss the Richness of the Infinite Atonement

Essentially all Christians miss the richness of our Lord’s infinite and perfect atonement. Most in my church as well. I hear members and leaders express gratitude for the atoning sacrifice, and in the last LDS 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 in the Spirit world than here below.

Most Christians look to the cross and to the blood of Jesus to cover their sins. They look to His suffering for them for the path to redemption. They miss, “He that ascended up on high, as also he descended below all things, in that he comprehended all things, that he might be in all and through all things, the light of truth; (D&C 88:6)” His glorious resurrection is the capstone to His infinite atonement. It is His resurrection that overcame the physical death brought about by the fall of Adam and Eve. Because of His resurrection, all will be resurrected. It His resurrection the brings us back into His presence. It His resurrection that opens the door to a fulness of joy (D&C 93:33-34). It is His resurrection that commenced the glorious “first resurrection.”

There is only one place in the Bible that in passing mentions the beginnings of the glorious first resurrection: (JS-Matt. 27; the bold is added in the Joseph Smith translation.)

  • 56 And the graves were opened; and the bodies of the saints which slept, arose, who were many,
  • 57 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

The Book of Mormon tells the rest of the story how the first resurrection included all the saints all the way back to Adam and Eve. Because of His resurrection the graves were opened for all the saints all across the globe. What a spectacular-barely-mentioned event–probably greatly blessing millions of souls.

A World Turned Upside Down

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 overcoming the effects of the fall of Adam and Eve.

7 Steps to the Infinite Atonement Of Jesus Christ

1. In GETHSEMANE (Alone) He suffered for our sins, so much that He sweat great drops of blood (Lk 22:44; Mosiah 3:7-10).

2. BEFORE THE SANHEDRIN (Rejected by His own, Israel) (Mt. 26:21; Zech. 11:12-13; John 10:33; Mt. 26:67; Mt. 26:33-34; Mt. 27:25; Mt. 23:37; Heb. 1:6)

3. BEFORE THE ROMANS (Rejected by the Gentiles, the world) (Mk. 15:2; Mk. 15:15; John 19:2; John 19:2; Mt. 27:29; Mt. 27:29-31; John 19:10-11)

4. SEVEN SAYINGS ON THE CROSS (All of the previous sufferings came on Him, and this time He bore them alone) (Lk. 23:24; 23:43; John 19:26-27; John 19:28; Ps. 22:1; Mk. 15:34; Mt. 27:46; Lk. 23:46; John 19:30)

5. GAVE HIS LIFE VOLUNTARILY (He did perfectly the will of the Father) (John 10:18; John 5:30; 6:38; Mt. 20:18-19; John 18:37; John 19:34)

6. VISIT TO THE SPIRIT WORLD (There are nearly 10 times more souls there than here) (John 5:25; “Aquarian Gospel of Jesus Christ” by Levi: Section XX Chapter 172:15-23; “Jesus did not sleep within the tomb… And in the realms of souls…the Lord went forth and taught… In council, all the masters sat and talked about the revelations of the coming age.” Luke 16:19-31; The Savior bridged the gulf – organizing the enormous missionary work there. Great rejoicing over all the dispensations back to Adam – gathered and proclaimed the goodness of God. (Doctrine Covenants 138)

Prison doors open and the prisoners go free as they come to Christ. (1 Peter. 3:18-20; 4:6; Doctrine & Covenants 138:22. They that hear shall live.  Live according to God in the spirit; judged according to men in the flesh. (John 5:25-29; 1 Pet. 4:6) Father’s hearts turned to the children and children’s hearts to the fathers; otherwise, the purpose of the earth wasted at His Coming (Malachi 4:5-6)).

7. GLORIOUS RESURRECTION (The best-documented miracle in history) (John 19:38-42; Mt. 28:1-8; Mk. 16:6; John 20:1-9; John 20:11-18; Mt. 28:8-9; Lk. 24:34; Lk. 24:13-35; Lk. 24:36-53; John 21:1-17; Mt. 28:16-20; Mk. 16:15-18; Acts 1:1-12; Acts 2:1-47)

Professor Hugh Nibley –  Acts 1:3

Professor Hugh Nibley shares that Acts 1:3  is one of the most unusual verses in all of our scriptures: “[Christ] showed himself alive after his sufferings by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things about the kingdom of God.” In this blog article, I share a link to a two-hour lecture Nibley provides from apocryphal literature how he taught the temple ceremony and that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene. The Christian community believes that Good Friday commemorates the day of Christ’s crucifixion. I prove this tradition wrong in a  blog article, as He was crucified on Thursday and was three days in the tomb.

Visits Other Lands After Resurrection

The people of Finland have a very strong oral tradition, which was recently recorded telling of the Savior visiting them after His resurrection.  In 1981 I was giving a three-week lecture tour in China.  When visiting Xian, I was walking around in a museum of stelae, and this one stela caught my eye as it had a Hebrew-robed figure with a nap sack on his shoulder.  Then I noticed his feet were bare and he was standing above water.  Then I saw the marks on his feet.  I immediately asked my tour guide if she could read the inscription with the man, and she replied, “It was in ancient Chinese,” and she couldn’t read it.  I, of course, took a picture, which I have in my personal files.  My witness is that the Savior visited them and there are other artifacts in China suggesting the same.

All Twelve Tribes of the House of Israel are in the patriarchal blessings in both Russia and Mongolia. I suspect the same will be true in China when they are given the fullness of the gospel.

He Walked The Americas

Taylor Hansen researched the legends of the native Americans for 25 years and wrote a book, He Walked the Americas.  When I got the book, I couldn’t put it down and stayed up all night reading it.  She is not a member of the Mormon Church, but what she shares in story and picture form aligns amazingly with the visit of Christ as a resurrected being to America, as described in the Book of Mormon. (3 Nephi Chapters 11-30)

I Have Other Sheep

The Savior prophesied, “And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.” John 10:16  So we have the witness of the resurrected Christ all around the world.  When He was in America, he proclaimed, “And verily, verily, I say unto you that I have other sheep, which are not of this land, neither of the land of Jerusalem, neither in any parts of that land round about whither I have been to minister.   For they of whom I speak are they who have not as yet heard my voice; neither have I at any time manifested myself unto them.

But I have received a commandment of the Father that I shall go unto them, and that they shall hear my voice, and shall be numbered among my sheep, that there may be one fold and one shepherd; therefore I go to show myself unto them.” (3 Nephi 16:1-3) We wonder how many other peoples He visited, whose stories are yet to be told? The AQUARIAN GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST by Levi tells of several others that he visited after His resurrection.

The Best News

The perfect infinite Atonement is completed by the glorious resurrection. It opens the resurrection for all and the perfection of the earth. It gives the greatest hope possible to all of Father’s children in His perfect plan of happiness in this fallen world.  As Paul announced, “If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept.  For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.  For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.” (1 Corinthians 15:19-22)
The gospel is not only the “good news;” it is the best news.

“For man is spirit. The elements are eternal, and spirit and element, inseparably connected, receive a fulness of joy;” (Doctrine and Covenants 93:33) It is because of the resurrection that the fullness of joy is possible. How can we tell the wonders of His ways and the magnitude of His perfect infinite atonement?

Share this NEWS with rejoicing

The Scriptures are replete in the telling.  The more we ponder, pray, and study the importance of what He has done, and is doing for us, and will do for us, the more we want to share this NEWS with rejoicing with the whole world – shout it from the roof-tops.

His glorious resurrection is the capstone to the perfect infinite atonement and is the best-documented miracle in the history of the earth. When it happened that early Sunday morning, it was witnessed by the hundred Jewish soldiers standing guard as a brilliant light came down from the heavens, and over the night they heard three times: “Adon Mashich Cumi,” which means, “Lord Christ arise.”

The last time was just before sunrise. “the heavens blazed with light… And then the white-robed form tramped on the Roman seal, and then he tore it into shreds; he took the mighty stone in hand as though it were a pebble from the brook, and cast it to the side. And Jesus opened up his eyes and said, ‘All hail the rising sun! the coming of the day of righteousness!’

From Mortal to Immortal

“They saw the body of the Nazarene transmute they saw it change from mortal to immortal form, and then disappeared. The soldiers heard a voice from somewhere; yea, from everywhere, it said, ‘Peace, peace on earth; good will to men.’” (Chapter 172:26-41

In Pontius Pilot’s account, he sent his trusted secretary, MALCUS, “He said that at about the beginning of the fourth watch, They Saw A Soft And a Beautiful-Lyght Up Above the Sepulcher… The Entire Place was lit up and there seemed to be A Crowd Of The Dead Walking around in their grave clothes. Each Of Them Seemed To Be Shouting And Filled With Ecstasy while All Around And Above, was Heard, The Most Beautiful Music he had ever experienced: And The Whole Sky Seemed To Be Full Of Voices Praising: YHV: Yahll’Vol’Hay/God. At This Time there seemed to be a reeling and rocking back-and forth of The Entire Earth…” (THE CRUCIFIXION REPORT OF PONTUS PILOT TO: TIBERIUS CAESAR) The Earth was rejoicing with the resurrection of its Creator.

Gratitude

The best way we can show our gratitude for the Perfect Infinite Atonement is to have total faith in Him who gave us this enormous and most important gift, to repent of all our sins, to share this glorious message of the gospel, to live the law of love, which is equivalent to obedience to all the commandments.  If He had not completed all seven steps of the infinite atonement, all would be lost. Because His Perfect Infinite Atonement overcame both the physical and spiritual deaths brought about by the Fall of Adam and Eve, this disproves Darwin’s theory of organic evolution. If there were no Fall, then there would be no need for an atonement to overcome the effects of the Fall. Therefore, organic evolution is anti-Christ.

If everyone lived the law of love that Christ taught, it would solve all the world’s problems.  Completely, receiving and internalizing the perfect infinite atonement is the doorway to the greatest happiness in this life and a fullness of joy in the world to come. We cannot comprehend “INFINITE,” but the more we do the closer we draw to Him who perfectly completed it for all of us because of His infinite love for each of us, and because of Heavenly Father’s and Heavenly Mother’s and the Savior’s infinite love for us to give us the gift of our Beloved Savior. Amid all our imperfections, it is a Perfect Plan of Happiness.

The Greatest Formula In The Book of Mormon

Spirituality, , , , ,

What is the Greatest Formula in the Book of Mormon? The greatest formula? Is it possible that the following is the greatest?

“Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.” (2 Nephi 31:20)

The Sequence of the Formula

1. Faith (to press forward with a steadfastness in Christ), hope (having a perfect brightness of hope), and charity (and a love of God and of all men).

One of the special keys to faith in Christ is: “If you shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ…” Faith in Christ takes effort, for it is a “doing.” “But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?” (James 2:20) The action involves feeling strongly about what we are doing, not a weak nibbling, but a strong, wholehearted pursuit of whatever goal the word of Christ has brought to us. And one must be constant in this pursuit of obedience, not blowing hot and cold. Enduring to the end is to be so faithful that we become like Christ himself, who sought not his own will but who carefully and exactly fulfilled his father’s will.

2. Become as our Savior.

There is no greater goal any human being could have than to become as our Savior, relishing eternal life and its work of blessing others with the powers of godhood unto all eternity. To apply this formula one must keep the great commandment: “Thou shalt love the Lord, thy God, with all thy heart, might, mind and strength, and in the name of Jesus Christ thou shalt serve him.” (D&C 59:5)

3. To love God, the Father, with all of our heart involves at least three strong feelings.

First, that we honor Him as the greatest person we know about because of his unfailing righteousness (always blessing others). Second, we should be overwhelmed with gratitude because of the multitude of blessings God has showered upon us. No matter how great our problems are, our blessings always way outweigh our problems. Thirdly, we should be grateful for his offer to share all that he is and has with us, if only we can stand that weight of glory. His commandments are the keys to qualifying to be able to accept and live with that glory.

Loving God with All our Heart, Might, Mind, and Strength

To love God with all our heart also means that our hearts are filled with His love for all of His  children and all of His creations. Mormon counsels us to, “pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ;” (Moroni 7:48)

To love God with all of our might means to use all the power and influence we have in this world to do his work of blessing others. We implement this by scanning our horizon constantly to see who we can bless and how we can bless them, even as our Father does. Then we proceed to use all the power we possess to execute those blessings we have seen are needed.

To love God with all of our mind means to treasure his truth. Our access to his truth, the real truth, is to receive the Holy Ghost, for by the power of the Holy Ghost we can know the truth of all things. To comb through our mind and carefully separate out the lies and half-truths planted there by Satan is a necessary precursor to basking in the knowledge of truth offered by our Savior.

To love God with all of our strength means to use our physical body to do God’s work of blessing others. Lending a helping hand to giving blood to bless others fulfills this opportunity. The greatest opportunity our strength affords is to beget children and to nurture and bless them in Christ.

Thus if we “press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men” we will come to that greatest of all blessings given by God, the gift of eternal life and eternal lives.

What Is the Most Important Gift To Mankind?

Spirituality, , ,

What is the most important gift of God to mankind mentioned in the Book of Mormon? The most important gift? What a value judgment. However,  let us see if there are reasons it is so.

I believe the most important gift of God to man is mentioned in the Book of Mormon. It is the gift of charity. Another way to name that gift is to say it is the gift of a pure heart. Only a pure heart can love fully and purely. Charity is the pure love that Christ has for all others.

Moroni 7:43-48: “And again, behold I say unto you that he cannot have faith and hope, save he shall be meek, and lowly of heart. If so, his faith and hope are vain, for none is acceptable before God, save the meek and lowly in heart. If a man be meek and lowly in heart, and confesses by the power of the Holy Ghost that Jesus is the Christ, he must needs have charity; for if he have not charity he is nothing; wherefore he must needs have charity.  And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.”

“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, if ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto charity, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail— But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure. Amen.”

Why Charity?

There is an important reason why charity, pure love, is the greatest gift of God to man. Any human being can be saved from the penalty, due to his having sinned, only through his having faith in Jesus Christ.

The penalty due for sins includes suffering for those sins with the same amount of suffering the person caused in others through that person’s sinning.  He must also make restitution for having wounded or deprived those whom he has sinned against.

The person cannot be forgiven of having sinned until the suffering caused by the sinning has been met by an equal amount of suffering and until the person(s) he has sinned against is fully recompensed for the damage done to them by those sins.  He or she remains as if he or she had never been sinned against.

A person who has sinned must do all he or she can to repair the damage done to others through his or her sinning. However, no one except Christ can fully make those who sinned against the whole as if they had never been sinned against.  They must suffer an equal amount to the suffering they have caused others through sinning unless they repent and come unto Christ and keep covenants with him. Then the suffering of the Savior in the Atonement answers the law of justice by his suffering, and the Savior forgives the one who has come unto him in covenant, keeping the faith.

The Pure Love of Christ

The great thing about the gift of charity, which is the pure love of Christ, is that the person who receives this gift no longer sins. This person who has charity has become like the Savior. The greatest thing we know about the Savior is that because he does his Father’s will in all things, he never sins. The work of Christ is to help us to become as he is and sin no longer.  It also helps us make payment for sins we have committed. Only after those two things are accomplished can anyone be exalted.

For both, we must come unto Jesus Christ and become his little child, “submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father.” (Mosiah 3:19)

So, to gain this gift is to become everything. Not to attain it still to be nothing. Our Father and Savior do not want us to remain as nothing. They are trying to share with us the most important thing they have, charity, which is a pure heart.

And you may wonder why faith in Christ is not the greatest gift. Actually, faith is not a wrong answer. It is just that a little faith does not do the job. Charity is the fullness of faith. Only faith that serves God and neighbor with all one’s heart, might, mind and strength can be the greatest gift. The name for that fullness of faith in Christ is charity, the pure love of Christ from Christ.

Eternal Life

But what about D&C 14:7, which says: “And if you keep my commandments and endure to the end you shall have eternal life, which gift is the greatest of all of the gifts of God.” What is eternal life?

“God works to enable his children’s return to his presence so that they may both live with him and live as he does.” (Encyclopedia of Mormonism, article “Eternal Life.”) How does he live? He lives to bless, to minister to others. And how does he bless? He blesses with a pure love, divine charity, doing nothing but helping each person or thing he blesses to have as much joy as possible. So it turns out that “eternal life” is but another name for the fullness of love, which is charity, which is the fruit of a pure heart. So the greatest gift of God to man is eternal life, or charity, or a pure heart, or a fullness of faith in Jesus Christ, all four being different names for doing the same thing.

The Infinite Atonement and Paradise

Spirituality, ,

The Glorious Infinite Atonement is one of the most important and yet most misunderstood doctrines in Christianity. Most think of the atonement as Christ’s suffering for our sins. It is so much more than that. But how do you comprehend infinite? As mortals we cannot, but the closer we come to understanding and internalizing this most important gift given by God (John 3:16), the closer we are to receiving His promise of Eternal Life.

As an important part of the infinite atonement, as Jesus hung on the cross, paradise was promised by the Savior to the repentant malefactor that very day. (Luke 23:43) Where is paradise and what happened there during those three days Jesus’ Spirit visited? The Apostle Peter shares that Jesus Christ “went and preached unto the spirits in prison:… that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.” (1 Peter 3:19; 4:6) Most don’t consider Jesus Christ’s visit to “paradise” a part of His infinite atonement. However, it is a major part since there are nearly ten times more folks there to minister to than here on Earth!

What and Where is Paradise?

We know that paradise is spiritually close by since the Savior and the repentant malefactor went there right after they died on the cross. We will see what the Savior did there during those three days was and still is an extremely important part of the infinite atonement.

President Joseph F. Smith’s Vision of Paradise

President Joseph F. Smith received a vision “on October 3, 1918,” while “reflecting upon the great atoning sacrifice that was made by the Son of God, for the redemption of the world.  The great and wonderful love made manifest by the Father and the Son in the coming of the Redeemer into the world,” (D&C 138:2-3)

The Savior prophesied, “The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.” (Jn 5:25) President Smith saw, “…the dead had looked upon the long absence of their spirits from their bodies as a bondage. These souls the Lord taught, and gave them the power to come forth, after his resurrection from the dead, to enter into his Father’s kingdom, there to be crowned with immortality and eternal life. Henceforth, their labors had been promised by the Lord, to be partakers of all blessings, that are held in reserve for them that love him.” (D&C 138:50-52)

Paradise –  A Part of the Infinite Atonement

We see that His visit to paradise was a major part of the infinite atonement, opening a glorious resurrection for the faithful who had died. President Smith also saw that during those three days, the Savior organized missionary work for those in spirit prison, as the Apostle Peter described. We see the great significance of Malachi’s prophecy that the fathers’ hearts would be turned to the children and children’s hearts would be turned to the fathers. Otherwise, the purpose of the earth was wasted at His Coming. (Malachi 4:5-6) The teaching of the gospel in the spirit world is totally integral to this grand purpose of why the earth was made by the Lord in the first place and is a major part of the infinite atonement.

Other Books Give Major Insights

Other Books Give Major Insights into Paradise and the Resurrection as Part of the Infinite Atonement. Nephi tells of “other books” coming forth in the last days. (1 Nephi 13:39) We read the following amazing account now of what happened after Christ visited Paradise and then was resurrected:

When it happened that early Sunday morning, it was witnessed by the hundred Jewish soldiers standing guard as a brilliant light came down from the heavens, and over the night they heard three times: “Adon Mashich Cumi,” which means, “Lord Christ arise.”

The last time was just before sunrise, “the heavens blazed with light… And then the white-robed form tramped on the Roman seal, and then he tore it into shreds; he took the mighty stone in hand as though it were a pebble from the brook, and cast it to the side. And Jesus opened up his eyes and said, ‘All hail the rising sun! the coming of the day of righteousness!’

“They saw the body of the Nazarene transmute they saw it change from mortal to immortal form, and then disappeared. The soldiers heard a voice from somewhere; yea, from everywhere, it said, ‘Peace, peace on earth; good will to men.’” (Chapter 172:26-41 of the Aquarian Gospel of Jesus Christ by Levi)

In Pontius Pilot’s account, he sent his trusted secretary, MALCUS, “He said that at about the beginning of the fourth watch, They Saw A Soft And a Beautiful-Lyght Up Above the Sepulcher. The Entire Place was Lit-Up and there seemed to be A Crowd Of The Dead Walking around in their grave clothes. Each Of Them Seemed To Be Shouting And Filled With Ecstasy while All Around And Above, was Heard, The Most Beautiful Music he had ever experienced: And The Whole Sky Seemed To Be Full Of Voices Praising: YHV: Yahll’Vol’Hay/God. At This Time there seemed to be a reeling and rocking back-and-forth of The Entire Earth…” (THE CRUCIFIXION REPORT OF PONTUS PILOT TO: TIBERIUS CAESAR,  147-151 by A Micah Hill Dezert-Owl)

The gospel of Matthew reports that “the graves were opened; and the bodies of the saints which slept, arose, who were many. They came out of the graves after his resurrection, went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.” (JS Matt. 27:56-57)

Major Mis-understanding of  Infinite Atonement

The limited view that most have is that the atonement of Christ is His suffering on the cross for our sins. Again, it is that and so much more. The infinite atonement totally overcame the effects of the fall of Adam and Eve, overcoming both the spiritual and physical deaths brought about by the fall. He told John the Beloved, “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.” (Rev. 1:18) His infinite atonement took Him from the deepest sorrow and suffering to the greatest of heights of ecstasy. He cap-stoned the infinite atonement with His glorious resurrection. (D&C 88:6) We cannot comprehend the joy that filled the souls of the many resurrected souls in both the Eastern and Western hemispheres.  They rose from the dead following His glorious resurrection in great rejoicing. He conquered death and hell, as a major part of the infinite atonement, and their souls were filled with a fullness of JOY as a result of HIs infinite love for all of Heavenly Father’s children.

The phrase “atoning sacrifice” only occurs once in our scriptures, as is beautifully explained by President Smith in his vision of the redemption of the dead and its relevance there. Yet we hear the phrase “atoning sacrifice” to describe Jesus’ atonement for us when this phrase misses the grand dimensions of the glorious infinite atonement. Let us do our best, and God will open up the rest as we ponder, study, pray, apply, and share this most important doctrine of the glorious infinite atonement.

Most Christians leave out both the importance of Christ’s visit to Paradise and His glorious resurrection in their worship of the Christ. They look to the blood of Christ and His suffering on  the Cross for their sins for redemption. I was surprised to see that the importance of Christ’s visit to Paradise had been left out of the proclamation, “THE LIVING CHRIST”. This proclamation was issued on January 1st, 2000, by the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve. Also, many members of my church use the phrase “atoning sacrifice” in describing the atonement, which misses the full grandeur of the glorious infinite atonement.

So, we have a problem with the false tradition that has crept into our language saying we are grateful for the “atoning sacrifice” and leaving out the great importance of what the Savior did, is doing, and will yet do because of the infinite nature of this most marvelous and infinitely loving gift from God.  In the Spirit World, during those three days, he opened the prison doors and provided a glorious resurrection for the faithful. What an enormous blessing His three-day visit was as part of the infinite atonement, as we think of it today, with nearly ten times more souls in the Spirit World than there are here on Earth. A great work is being done and yet will be done so that every soul has the opportunity to hear the fullness of the everlasting gospel. Thanks to Christ for the three-day visit to paradise. The best thing we can say is, “THANK YOU, LORD, for the glorious infinite atonement! Which also includes His visit to paradise and His glorious resurrection.

My Hope and Prayer

My hope and prayer are that each of us will be eternally grateful for the glorious infinite atonement, and I hope here to have shared a better understanding of how our Savior truly overcame the full effects of the fall of Adam and Eve and conquered the effects of death and hell—for those on both sides of the veil. Because of His resurrection, the door to eternal life and a fullness of joy is available for all who choose Jesus Christ as their Savior and Redeemer, the bridge to our Heavenly Home.

The Seven Essential Steps to the Infinite Atonement

In the following article, I share the seven essential steps in the infinite atonement. Step one is His suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane. Step two is His suffering before the Jews. Step three is His suffering before the Roans (Gentiles). Step four is His horrible crucifixion. Step five is Him volunteering to give His life for us (John 10:18). His “atoning sacrifice” is these first five steps. His all important visit to Paradise is step-six, and extremely important to help complete the infinite atonement. His glorious resurrection is step-seven and is the capstone to His infinite atonement. https://itsabouttimebook.com/the-infinite-atonement-of-jesus-christ/

Avoiding Contention and Building Faith

Science and Spirituality, ,

Knowing that the devil “is the father of contention” (3 Nephi 11:29) and the great deceiver, there are significant ways to reduce contention and increase faith. We are promised we will not be deceived as we “treasure up his word” (JS-M 37).

Contention can be proven false, because it is of the devil. Then we can move on to what is true. We can use an essential Law of Heaven to learn God’s TRUTHS; “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For everyone that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened” (Matt. 7:7-8). Living that law builds faith and opens the door to TRUTH and LIGHT, and removes contention and deception.

Truth and Light

I use three criteria in my search for TRUTH and LIGHT.

1.       If God says it, I know it and I will not be deceived (JS-M 37).
2.       A theory or hypothesis cannot be proven true; we don’t know enough. Only God knows enough. And
3.       A theory or hypothesis can be proven false if one has reliable falsification data.

For me, these are very powerful tools in my search for TRUTH and they can significantly ameliorate contention—moving a person out of darkness into truth, light, and liberty (John 8:12, 32, 36). We know Christ is the “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6).

Can Organic Evolution Be Proven False?

In Chapter 6 of my first book, It’s About Time—using the best scientists on the planet and their books and data—I share the proof that the theory of organic evolution is false. This has enormous consequences since this false theory has permeated the world’s education systems and atheism has increased as a result–causing a lot of contention and deception.

Organic evolution is being taught in some classes at BYU—my alma mater.  Also, on the BYU campus, in the Bean Museum, there is a permanent model of the evolution of man from lower forms of life. This shows the secular influence on this, the main university of my church, and this has brought about a lot of contention and deception there.

When I went to BYU, I was fortunate to be taught by Emeritus Professor of Philosophy, Chauncey C. Riddle.  When I took a class from him back in the 1950s, he used the Book of Mormon to prove the evolutionary theory false. Unfortunately, students who are attending BYU as believers in biblical “Creation” have turned into “Atheists” because of professors teaching organic evolution.  This is a serious problem at BYU, but it is much more serious at non-religious educational institutions.

Atheism

Because of the increase in atheism, more are believing the Bible to be a myth. I share below how atheism can be proven false. And if there is no fall of Adam and Eve, then there is no need for Christ’s atonement to overcome the effects of the fall.  Hence, organic evolution is anti-Christ.

Joseph in Egypt and the Prophet Nephi foretold of the Bible being disbelieved in our day (1 Nephi 13:38-41; 2 Nephi 3:11). But the Lord knows the end from the beginning and also prophesied that the Book of Mormon would come forth in a needful time, and one of its many missions was to give validity to the scriptures—opening the door to those who have lost faith to come back to the beautiful truths of God. Next, I will show you how it does this remarkable thing.

Trusting the Validity of Scriptures

In my research, I have found evidence of 1,800 phrases that tie back to the language of Adam and provide undeniable validation of the scriptures. The Book of Mormon has been the main tool that led me to these insights, as I have exercised the above Law of Heaven. [Don’t Bypass “And It Came To Pass” | It’s About Time (itsabouttimebook.com)] I am pleased that LDS Living also picked up on this: [The Powerful Book of Mormon Phrase We Always See but Never Think About – LDS Living. That these 1,800 data points are distributed as they are throughout our scriptures provides this validation. It could not be thus except by Divine orchestration. Search them out and see for yourself–how they are used and by whom they are used.

There are several others who provide compelling evidence that the scriptures are true. The great historian, Flavius Josephus, is a great example. Dr. John Lennox is an incredible and very likable Christian apologist. I believe, if all Christians and their leaders, took a firm stand on the validity of the scriptures and shared the above information, it would help increase faith in the world and reduce contention and deception. Also, see remarkable evidence showing that we can “Trust in the Lord.”

Another Contentious Issue

Another contentious issue I see in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is regarding Book of Mormon geography: Heartland vs. Mesoamerica. Many say it doesn’t matter, but the Lord says it matters greatly (Ether 2:8-12). In this scripture, the Lord declares emphatically regarding North America, “that it is a land of promise; and whatsoever nation shall possess it shall serve God, or they shall be swept off when the fulness of his wrath shall come upon them.” It is critical that Americans repent, and turn back to the God of this land, who is Jesus Christ, or this nation will be destroyed. This message should motivate every American to repent and come to Christ.

Using criteria 3 as mentioned above, using reliable falsification data, I share proof that the Mesoamerica theory is false in this blog post:   Where Does The Book Of Mormon Really Take Place? It only takes one reliable falsification data set to prove a theory or hypothesis false; I found eight!

In the December 2012 issue of the Ensign, Elder L. Tom Perry stated, “that the United States is the promised land foretold in the Book of Mormon.”  In addition, President Russell M. Nelson has stated:

“The Book of Mormon reveals the inheritance of Joseph, son of Israel, who was not forgotten when the land was distributed to the tribes of Israel. This was promised in the Abrahamic covenant. Because… Joseph’s inheritance was to be a land choice above all others. It was chosen not because of its beauty or wealth of natural resources, but because it was chosen to be the repository of sacred writings on golden plates from which the Book of Mormon would one day come. Choice because it would eventually host the world headquarters of the Restored Church of Jesus Christ in the latter days. And it was chosen because it was a land of liberty for those who worship the Lord and keep His commandments. (President Russell M. Nelson, President of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles, Yes, Mormons are Christians, Legends Library [2017]).”

It is evident that North America is the only location that fits the criteria for where the Book of Mormon account took place. I would love to see the world come to know the great value of the Book of Mormon and of its “promised land” geography. Just like knowing the geography of the Bible helps, I believe knowing the Book of Mormon geography would help remove contention and confusion in the Church membership and especially at BYU where many of the religion professors believe and teach the Mesoamerica false model. It is interesting that the Book of Mormon mentions Christ five times more often than the Bible!

Two Major World Contentions

1. A major contention in the world is that Satan is leveraging all he can with the GLBTQ+ confusion and conflict.   The conflict takes people away from Christ, especially young people.

I believe that if we were more focused on the first two great commandments, our loving example would shed the needed light on those who have lost faith to help bring them back–being valiant loving Christians. Believing in Christ is one thing, but being changed by the grace of His infinite atonement is a life-changing thing. Being born-again Christians, as our scriptures teach us, is TO BE ONE WITH HIM, BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT! (Mosiah 27:25; Alma 5:14; 7:14; John 3:-3-5; and 1 Pet. 1:23). , My new book proclaims the same—BE BORN AGAIN.

2. The Critical Race Theory is another source of contention. For those advocating “the critical race theory,” there is a beautiful scriptural solution. Each of us is of infinite worth as children of Divine offspring. (Acts 17:2-29) Judging others leads to this contention. Let us not judge and let us bring out the potential goodness in others and help them develop their God-given gifts. Let us be color-blind to race as the Lord has asked us to be. Everyone is important, and putting others down is totally contrary to the Christian ethic of loving your neighbor.

Two Unknown Book of Mormon Miracles

The year 2017 was a very eventful year with a total solar eclipse passing over America over seven cities by the name of “Salem,” which means peace in Hebrew, and on 23 September the 12th Chapter of Revelations was played out in the heavens.

Most don’t know that the historical data show that it should have taken over 22 months to type-set and print the first 5,000 copies of the Book of Mormon, when, in fact, it happened–miraculously– in less than seven months, and some scholars estimate that Joseph Smith’s days spent in translating this ancient record were about 65–another miracle as well.

Also, in 2017 on the 20th of March at exactly 4:28 AM (MST)– I looked at the clock–I was praying about these miracles of the coming forth of this AMAZING ancient record, and I had the impression that the printed dimensions of the first 5,000 copies of the Book of Mormon–heretofore unknown–were in the Divine ratio. Having a replica, I got up and measured it: 7.5 inches high x 4 5/8 inches wide (7.5/4.625 = 1.62, the Divine Ratio). This Divine revelation came exactly at the moment of the vernal equinox. THANK YOU, LORD for another one of Thy fingerprints manifesting Thine infinite love for us! In Thine honor, I have made the dimensions of my new book in the Divine ratio: 1.62 = 8.5 inches / 5.25 inches, as it explains Thy Perfect Plan of Happiness in the midst of all our imperfections. This is indeed one of Thy grand ironies with a wonderful Divine purpose in it for each of us.

Message of Gladness

During my 87th trip around the sun and onward as the Lord gives me the strength to do so I rejoice in sharing the ‘Message of Gladness” across the world: The Message of Gladness | It’s About Time (itsabouttimebook.com). Bringing people back to faith and ameliorating Satan’s contention and deception. Pray always that we may conquer the influence of Satan and his minions. (D&C 10:5)

Faithfully yours,

David W. Allan

We Do Not Know Much About Ourselves

Spirituality, ,

Building A Testimony of Christ

Guest Post:  We humans do not know much about ourselves. The things we really know are the familiar things we repeatedly observe. However, most of what we believe, at any given moment, we do not observe, such as our belief in Europe or the Far East. We also have built a fabric of beliefs about many things we do not now sense or perceive, and we live our lives in this web of present knowledge firmly located in a web of present beliefs.

Chauncey C. Riddle

Knowledge and Beliefs

So we have at least two kinds of ideas: Things we presently perceive (our knowledge) and the web of beliefs, which gives meaning and reality to the imaginations in which we hold all of our present perceptions.

The Greeks called these two kinds of ideas physics (the things we sensorily perceive) and metaphysics (the unseen reality beyond the seen reality). It turns out that most of our important ideas about the reality of the universe are metaphysics, not physics. And metaphysics is the realm of faith, the things we believe but cannot prove, that gives understanding to the things we can see and prove.

Every normal human being has a metaphysics that he or she believes but cannot prove. Some people have better metaphysics than others, and this enables them to better predict the future and better explain what is going on in the realm of the things that can be seen. Since no one can prove that their metaphysics is correct, we may conclude that every human being lives by faith in something and that something is their metaphysics. Faith is trusting in something you cannot prove.

Not All Faiths Are Equal

Not all faiths are equal. Some are much better for helping the believer to get what they want than others. Politics is largely the activity of trying to affect the faith of other persons in order to gain power for the politician. Much of so-called general education in colleges is the attempt to enlarge and control the faith of others to affect their politics.

Every charismatic political leader is adept at manipulating the faith of other people.
But to the main point of this discussion: Faith of all kinds and for all persons is built by sequences of choices. Each normal human being lives by faith in a metaphysical structure he or she has built and maintained through daily choices.

The Heart Controls Choices

I assert that each of these choices is controlled mostly by the heart and not the mind of the individual. In other words, people believe and act as they want to, and they adjust their metaphysics to justify what they want and want to do.

What is the evidence that the heart and not the mind controls a person’s metaphysics? Just watch as smokers deny that smoking is harmful. Many know the rational evidence that smoking is harmful, but because they want to smoke, they disregard that evidence and smoke anyway.

Many know that deficit spending by the government is bad for the country, but they support it anyway because they want the short-term benefit that it brings. Many know that stealing is wrong but do it anyway because they want to, etc.

What about Faith in Jesus Christ?

Now the real point of all this is that faith in Jesus Christ is not for everyone because many just do not want to be like Christ. So they do not build a metaphysics that allows Christ to redeem them.

They would rather be like the non-believers and relish their favorite sins than to repent and become a blessing to all around them as Christ is. Some don’t mind being partly like Christ, but they trust in themselves to fashion a life that brings them all the satisfactions they desire rather than the pattern of the true Christian.

So the conclusion is that many people have all the evidence they need to fashion a solid testimony that Jesus is the Christ, but have no testimony of his divinity and power simply because they do not want to live the way he commends. They build testimonies or webs of understanding to self-justify their rejection of the moral standards Christ enjoins upon his faithful followers.

Building a Testimony of Christ

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is a moral test to all who hear or know it. Hearing about Christ from books or the testimonies of other humans is a partial test, but the full test comes only when the Holy Spirit bears witness to the individual that Christ is the only pattern of character which can be blessed with a fullness of knowledge and power unto all eternity, which is the only full salvation from this fallen world. As He said in the Sermon on the Mount, “Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man… (Matthew 7:24)” ‘les met en pratique’

P.S.  Guest post:  Chauncey C. Riddle is an American author, professor, and religious leader. He has written many articles for the Ensign, Sunstone, BYU Studies, The Encyclopedia of Mormonism, Deseret Language and Linguistics, and FARMS. He is also the author of the book, “Think Independently“ and countless articles and essays. He wrote the Foreword for both of my books: “It’s About Time” and “Time & Eternity, the End-Times & Beyond Revealed.”

 

The Bible is not a Myth

Spirituality, , ,

The Bible is not a Myth. The notion that the Bible is a myth can be proven to be incorrect.  Unfortunately, a survey showed that 93% of the leading American scientists believed the Bible to be a myth. I will prove them wrong in one extremely important historical case.

In My Search for Truth

In my search for truth, as a believing scientist, I have three criteria: 1) If God says it, then I know; 2) I know a theory or hypothesis cannot be proven true. We don’t know enough; exceptions to the theory or hypothesis may yet be found that contradict it.  Only God knows enough to prove a theory or hypothesis true. And 3) If valid data exist, then a false theory or hypothesis can be proven false. Numbers 1) and 3) are extremely powerful in knowing the truth or what isn’t, respectively.

How to Prove – The Bible is Not a Myth

In the following, I share that “the theory that the Bible is a myth” is false in regard to the most important event in the history of the world–the infinite atonement of our Lord and Savior.

Jesus Planned Miracle Triggered Crucifixion

Spirituality, , ,

At that same time, “Caiaphas, being the high priest, prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation… [and] should gather together in one the children of God… Then from that day forth, they took counsel together to put him to death.” (John 11:49-53)

My Experiences In Jerusalem

In 1987, I was invited by the Israelis to help them in improving their atomic clock system, (UTC(INPL)). I spent a week in Jerusalem at their standards laboratory, and we ended up publishing some interesting papers together.  I ended up going back three more times to help them with their official clock timekeeping system for Israel. My wife was able to be with me for all four trips and five of our children were able to go to Israel as well. Being where the Savior walked and taught and worked out the infinite atonement is a life-changing experience.

During our first week in Jerusalem, a professor there prided himself in knowing all of the interesting historic places both for the Jews and Christians. Every afternoon he would take us to some fascinating place in Biblical history. I asked him if he would take us to Bethany. He was stumped—not knowing where Bethany was.

Just Where Did Bethany Go

On Friday of that week, he said, we are going to find Bethany. I knew about where it was from the New Testament. We got in his van and drove to a monastery on the south end of the Mt. of Olives, where he got directions. He then drove us to the “Bethany Souvenir Shop,” which is all that is left of Bethany.  Since Bethany was the place of the tomb of Lazarus, it did not make sense.

However, two weeks later, we went on a tour with Dan Rona, a Jewish convert to our church, who was born in Haifa. He is a dear friend, and he took us to the place where it is believed that Lazarus was raised from the dead.  He shared, that because of the miracle, the name of the town went from Bethany to the City of Lazarus. In Arabic is called, Alazaria. So our kind Jewish Professor added Alazaria to his list of known historical special places.

Christ’s Planned Miracle

Indeed, Alazaria is the place where the planned miracle of raising Lazarus from the dead occurred–a city given that name because of that miracle.  It is interesting that the Jews had a tradition that the spirit of a dead person lingered for three days around the body.  The Savior waited four days to raise Lazarus to share the “glory of God” with the world. “Jesus saith unto her [Martha], Said I not unto thee, that if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?” (John 11:4, 40)

Jesus knew that raising Lazarus from the dead would bring the Pharisees to plan for His death. But He also knew that the outcome would be the “glory of God” as He worked out the perfect and infinite atonement. This would give the world the greatest gift and miracle ever.  His incomprehensible gift would save the world from sin and death by overcoming the spiritual and physical deaths brought about by the fall of Adam and Eve–so that everyone who “believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)

Furthering the Work

I find it fascinating that Lazarus, Mary, Martha, Mary Magdalene, Jesus’ mother Mary, the blind man, whose name was Maximum, whose healing is shared in Chapter 9 of the gospel of John went to England and established the Church there.  Joseph of Arimathea was their main leader and later was ordained an Apostle. There was a total of twelve of Christ’s followers who went there. They established a Christian missionary effort greater than what is included in the New Testament.

Must Watch Videos

Pastor Andy Stanley, who has an excellent non-denominational Christian ministry shares seven signs from the Gospel of John pointing to who Christ is. The links for each of these seven sermons are below. They are all extremely informative and well done.  Number six is the miracle of the Savior raising Lazarus from the dead–giving one of the seven major signs of His divinity shared by John in his gospel.

Passover – Last Supper – Easter

Resurrection – Capstone of the Atonement

The Infinite Atonement of Jesus Christ

Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence (AI)

End Times, , ,

When we think about intelligence, how grateful we are that God is the most intelligent – being all-knowing.  We contrast His intelligence with artificial intelligence (AI), it is like infinity compared to zero.  We know we can totally trust in Him and His perfect plan of happiness in the midst of all our imperfections.  Sounds miraculous, and it is because of the perfect and infinite atonement of His Beloved Son.  His infinite love for us brought about this GREAT GIFT – opening the door for eternal life for all who believe in Him and in our Savior. (John 3:16)

With our intelligence comes a conscience – the light of Christ given all of us as we came into this world that we might know good from evil. (John 1:9)  In contrast, artificial intelligence (AI) has no conscience but is an amazing tool coming out of the development of the digital computer.  The impact of AI on society is incomprehensibly enormous.  A simple definition of AI is intelligence demonstrated by machines, as opposed to the natural intelligence displayed by humans or animals — also machine learning and problem-solving. Artificial intelligence – Wikipedia.

A Positive Use of Artificial Intelligence

I share a personal and fun important historic and early example of computer learning and AI.  Because of the greatly improved accuracies achieved with atomic clocks, in 1967, the length of the “second” for keeping time on earth was changed from astronomical to atomic.  Clocks are like people; they are all different.  At that time, I believe the Lord gave me the inspiration to write the AT-1 time-scale computer algorithm and procedure for generating official time for the USA from an ensemble of atomic clocks – also with wonderful help from my mentor and friend, Jim Barnes.  This algorithm procedure determines the different colors of noise and performance parameters as it breaths using machine learning to optimize its output.  Each of the clock’s characteristics may change over time, and the algorithm procedure optimally adapts the weighting factor for each member clock to best help predict the correct time both in the near term and in the long term for the algorithm’s output.  This breathing-adapting AT-1 output is always performing better than the best clock, and its computer output then controls the output of a real-time rubidium atomic clock to be correct – providing official USA time.

With additional improvements by my outstanding colleagues,  AT-1 is still ticking today for the USA, and over my lifetime the accuracy of the length of the “second” has improved a billion-fold – astounding – the algorithmic procedures continue to learn the performance of each of the clocks.  Since that time, AI research has gone far beyond this level of learning, but even so, we can think of USA time as a very smart and extremely accurate, and by definition, always correct AI clock!  The exciting research of my gifted colleagues across the globe along with AI has brought about these remarkable technological improvements.  GPS is one of the enormous spin-off benefits of this work.

How Artificial Intelligence is Being Misused

Because AI has no conscience, it only reflects the intelligence of human programmers.  Hence, AI can be used for good or evil depending on the intent of the programmers and the computer architects who designed the programs.  In recent times we are seeing how AI is taking away the freedom of speech on the internet.  The globalists use AI to police the internet and to take down that which doesn’t agree with their agenda and with the intent to take away our God-given individual sovereignty.  In addition to controlling us, the globalists have two main goals: wealth transfer and global depopulation.  In their atheistic view, they have effectively no conscience in doing that; so, using AI toward their depopulation goal is no problem for them.  They think they are doing the world a service in doing so.  They think there are too many of us.

The uses of artificial intelligence have grown exponentially. And now we live in the information age because of AI and the digital computer.  Now we have self-driving cars, drones, unmanned aircraft, robots, and the list goes on and on.  AI is used for facial recognition, and in China for compliance with the establishment.

We Are In a Digital War

Most don’t know it, but we are in an international AI digital war with the globalists against the populace: slavery vs. freedom, state sovereignty vs. individual sovereignty.  It is a eugenics war.  They consider themselves the elite and we the pawns.  By exposing them and their tactics, we take away their power to control us. We know who will win, and trusting in the Lord is our main line of defense so that we are not deceived by their tactics and also join with other like-minded folks who are standing up for liberty – the gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the only thing that can make us free, indeed (John 8:32, 36), as we take advantage of the full blessings of the Lord’s infinite atonement.  As the prophecies unfold, we will see the wicked dig a pit for themselves and will be destroyed in due process.  We need not fear as we trust in God.

To achieve their satanic goals, they are using fear as one of their main tactics, “Perfect love casteth out fear.” (1 John 4:18)  It is now well documented the COVID-19 pandemic was orchestrated by the globalists using fear as their prime motivator, and they will continue to use fear to make the populace compliant

(AI) Being Used Without Conscience

As I have shared in previous blog articles, you can prove the theory that the only cure for the pandemic is a vaccination to be FALSE!  This has enormous implications and using fear tactics, most of the world has been deceived by this theory.  The globalists have control of most of the media, and they continue to spread their atheistic lies.  The lies coming forth from the CDC and the WHO are examples of their misinformation strategy.

And we now have Biden’s proposed new health program coming out of DARPA, and designed by eugenicist folks with the ability to monitor everyone using AI.  One of their goals using AI is to monitor a person’s brain to anticipate that they might be planning a crime!  And their empty-claimed goal for this new health program is to cure all cancer.  Reminds me of another version of the chip spoken of in Revelations – the “mark of the beast.”  You can’t buy or sell unless you comply.

As our son, Nathan, points out, “The largest purveyor of evil AI at the moment, at least in the declassified world, is the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) and their experimental AI-based social credit scoring system.  Many world leaders look at it with admiration, which should send a chill down everyone’s spine.”

Real Intelligence Has a Conscience

As we have faith, believe, and look to the Lord, we can expose evil. We need not fear that God will prevail. Because our intelligence has a conscience (the Spirit of Christ).  We can couple directly into the eternity domain through prayer for answers and direction in our lives.  As we treasure up His word, we will not be deceived. The AI globalist people know nothing of these truths in their atheistic view of the world – looking at us as evolved creatures of the earth and being dispensable.

The Lord, in the prophecy of our day, shares this profound perspective, “A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren;… him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.  And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.”  That prophet is Jesus the Christ. (Acts 3:22-23)  All those who reject Christ will not make it into the millennium and enjoy the new heaven and new earth!

Let us look to Him without fear and be filled with faith and hope for a glorious future after the purging of the wicked.  Those who will truly come unto Him shall participate in the great consummation and joy as the Bride meets the Bridegroom at His Coming, as prophesied in the Book of Revelations.  I share some relevant links below to document the above.  May the Lord bless you and yours in these exciting times, and join with me in  the defense of the TRUTH, and I rejoice that God has now given us scientific validation of His Word.

How to do Infinite Good

Spirituality, ,

Heavenly Father has infinite love for each of us, and through His Beloved Son, He has done, is doing, and will do infinite good on behalf of His children.

So as God is going about doing infinite good, so can we, as we focus our time and talents in prayer to know how we can bring about the greatest good.  There is no limit to the amount of good we can do as we ask, seek, and knock (Matt 7:7-8); He has an infinite supply of good that we can tap into.  If we do what we do with an eye single to His glory, then that maximizes the good we can do.  He will not only bless our efforts; we will have joy in the doing and in the service we render to others.

God’s Ways are Higher than Man’s Ways

Isaiah shares this profound perspective (Isa. 55:8-9) “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
