Who are the remnant?Apparently whatever people are left on this planet who remain uncorrupted. "The evil has consumed all but a tiny remnant" The Phoenix Journal page 78: You do it by opening your minds and hearing truth, seeing truth and then, acting in truth by coming back into the balance of the Laws of God and The Creation. You will have to stop the lustful, greedy carnal behaviors, teach your children truth and discipline of actions and intent and learn the truth of how it is NOW. You must know the details of the evil conspiracy and then you must stand firm in rising above them who would destroy. You will do that through knowledge and the use of your God given rights and powers and the tags and rags of what is remaining of your Constitution. You will stand together as an unbending God power and demand your God-given freedom and removal of the evil slave-masters. Yes, the poison has seeped into the very joints of your body of civilization. The evil has consumed all but a tiny remnant--but you have all you need if you will but use of it. *****

only service is unto Holy Father God of Source,

the Highest of the Heavenly realms to come. I,
further, am assigned to bring a remnant through the
time of chaos and into survival and rebuilding in
transition.

125: My entire commission is to put the word of
Truth to print as promised by God unto the ones
of the transition as are noted in the
prophecies, to reveal the Truth from the seventh
seal, as you like to call it, through the one
called the "Lamb", and get a remnant through the
tribulation to rebuild the Kingdom of God.....Page
199: We need to get a remnant through who wish
to come in the service and Truth of Godness into
the kingdom of HIS sacred places--willingly and
of free-will. The evil will be left to devour
itself for evil cannot exist in the Light of
Truth and he wishes not to come into the Kingdom
of Light at any cause whatsoever. We are not
speaking of force on the part of God for God is
not in the forcing of anything nor anyone--by
this very fact God always wins and your Satanic
adversary knows as much. You who serve God are
most certainly not desired among Satan's people
and neither does he desire the ire of God if he
slays ye ones about the work of awakening His
people and rebirthing this planet into higher
understanding and Truth. The place has become
Satan's Kingdom and that which ye must have a
goal is the accomplishment of survival through
the days of tribulation while Satan brings his
own into order and servitude. If ye do not
rankle him, he shall probably even assist you in
the gathering and help you. God wins wars by the
very lack of warring behavior--Truth will give
unto you your freedom and His children. Ah yes,
the ones coming home aboard our craft shall
likely be relatively few in number--BUT ALL HAVE
A PLACEMENT PREPARED JUST AS PROMISED AND IF ALL
WOULD COME THERE WOULD BE MUCH GLORIOUS
REJOICING IN THE HEAVENS. Then, after the
destruction is finished and the old is in the
renewal--so shall those intended to rebuild will
be brought again unto the wondrous place for the
reclamation in fullness for by then the Earth's
face will be renewed from the seas and the lands
in agony will be put to rest and renew in the
blankets of the seas and the renewal of the
waters (life blood) of the planet herself. It
simply shall not be as you have been told for
you were not given to know and the adversary
brought lies to cause you to wither in fear and
speculation. Ye who believe on God and the
Christed path of the Sacred Circle of Infinity
and choose the laws of The Creation and that
wondrous Creator/Creation--Mother/Father shall
again soar with the Eagles having served and
graduated. Ah, the glory and joy of it is beyond
the imaginings. But those who do not recognize
of that which has been sent to lift them up,
they shall be left of their own accord and that
shall be none of your business. But any who come
with us, shall leave the things of fleshly
destruction and lawlessness in the pit from
which ye shall be lifted--so be it!)
*****
The events to occur in
these last days have not yet been decided. It
will depend on the course of action and choice
and decisions of the remnant.

Phoenix Journal 59 Page 103: When I was a red man
last, I wondered deeply why Grandfather had
brought the white man here. We were good
sustainers of the garden after all. We shunned the
idea of temples and altars with all their
technologies and trappings. Those things only
breed trouble, jealousies and confusion. So why
did this strange hairy white man arrive here, we
asked? He sustains nothing. He creates and devours
everything in his path and then creates more and
more but fails to sustain his foundation. He is
truly out of balance we said. Well, so too were
we, I have come to see at last. Man was not meant
to just graze in a garden forever either. He was
designed to be a full reflection of Grandfather‟s
potentials. Therefore he must become a
creator/sustainer in perfect balance. From this
state of balance and reconciliation, he becomes a
�starman�; a builder and sustainer of worlds
�with� Grandfather. So the
creator/builder/inventor white man and the
gardener/tender red man, both had what each other
needed in order to bring man to balance. So, I am
here today, in the son of a white man, to do just
that. To birth the �starship Indian/cosmic cowboy�
man. Together we become the �pink� of Christ. We
emerge in balance together, ah ho. There was a particular strain
of remnants I was trying to point out below:
***** Phoenix Journal 35 Page 9: This is the
time for you who are the human beings, mankind--known as
"natives" across the lands--to change and move ahead,
instead of expecting others to lead you-- for they will
only pull you farther down. You must return to the roots
of your oral traditions for it will be through these
Truths coming forth and the explanations given here in
these unfoldings of Truth and explanation, and the
traditional Oral Truths., never WRITTEN until now (that
they might serve as history of a civilization in an ending
cycle) that you will find again, balance and harmony. It
is in the oral "Indian" tradition that the world will be
led out of the darkness into the Light. This time, though
it seems to not be so, the people are ready to listen--the
world is scared unto death of the physical existence. I
choose not one tribe of Earth experiencing humans above
that of another--ALL ARE ONE. But the messenger is sent
where the Great Spirit of All chooses to allow expression.
There are many great men but each has a task and this one
is committed into the hands of Little Crow--who be YOU to
choose another??.......Page 10: The Earth is undergoing a
painful period of purification and I tell you now, you of
the world--THE AMERICAN "INDIAN"-SPIRITUALITY WILL PLAY A
KEY ROLE IN RESTORING PEACE AND HARMONY. Indian
spirituality has the answer and it is not just for
Indians�it is for everyone (MITAKUYE OYASIN).
***** There is some evidence of a role
of the Native Americans in restoring an important way
of life and spearheading a movement in these times
ahead.
(The Revelations of James Strang
SECTION 12)
4. And upon this land where thou standest shall the gospel
of the kingdom be established among the Lamanites, and
from thence shall it go forth to their tribes. And
blessing and honor and great glory shall be on those that
teach them, for he will make their arm strong, and their
bow shall abide in strength, and they shall not bow to the
oppressor; and the power of the Gentile shall not be on
them, for the arm of God shall be with them to support.
(The Revelations of James Strang
SECTION 8)
3. The word hath revealed it. God hath sworn to
give an inheritance to his people where transgressors
perished. The word of God came to me while I mourned in
the Death-shade, saying, I will avenge me on the
destroyer. He shall be driven out. Other strangers shall
inhabit thy land. I an ensign there will set up. The
escaped of my people there shall dwell when the flock
disown the Shepherd and build not on the Rock. 4. The
forerunner men shall kill, but a mighty prophet there
shall dwell. I will be his strength, and he shall bring
forth thy record. Record my words, and bury it in the Hill
of Promise.
______________________
Almost as a fulfillment of
the above prophesy, made long ago by a man called
Rajah Manchou of Vorito, Little Crow went on to
write the book, THE SACRED HILL WITHIN about the oral
traditions of his people. Much information about this
movement can be found within the records contained in
The Mentinah Archives.
***** This makes me think of this song Wild Fire. It reminds me of the Native Americans of those who authored the Mentinah Archives and who predicted a time when they would be killed off by conquest and disease from a foreign people who would over run and take over this country and ultimately cause damage to society and the planet from their greed and abuse. But that they through a remnant of their descendents and mixture of their bloodline with these people would return as a whispering from the dust and they would guide these people to a healing of the earth and a forming of a government based on a self empowered self governing people they way that they lived in their day and who were the pro-to type of a free people and an ensign to the people of our time. Read more in the article The Inward Fire. ***** The Phoenix Journal 230 page135: I am going to remind you that these CAHILLA mercenaries brought the slaves, have usurped everything from the Blacks--only recently taking everything from other races as well in the U.S.A. I will tell you now that you cannot recover this mess without the NATIVE AMERICANS who still, at least, sit on some sovereign lands which are being taken fully from them as we write today. ***** Read more about this in the article Elijah The Prophet. For my purposes, they are the descendants of Joseph as referred to in the Book or Mormon as well as in the Mentinah archives. Both contain histories of these people. Our story begins with Abraham who obtained the keys to the Patriarchal priesthood. This Priesthood in particular, came down to us from our father Adam, who was the seeding creator and progenitor of the species of this planet as it pertains to us. The order of this patriarchal system is passed down to all descendants of Adam and carried within their blood line. All people carry priesthood, and inherit gifts and powers from their respective family lines. People are called to be and do and exercise their powers according to their own worthiness, and appointed by the general consensus of mankind as administered by those in charge of representing us and our interests. Many of these work anonymously and are not always known or seen by the fledgling peoples of this planet. The ruling patriarchs are appointed by the most worthy, with2 preference being given to the right of the firstborn, or oldest worthy family line. Special note being given to the term worthy. Only the worthy are appointed and given commissions in the priesthood orders. So claims to authority by virtue of lineage and rights of the firstborn and also claims from confirmation and ordinations to and from certain priesthood lines and or personages become irrelevant. Every human being has priesthood of some kind or another. It is worthiness which allows the person to be appointed and commissioned to function in whatever priesthood capacity they may have. In the biblical days of the judges, the priesthood was carried in the bloodline of all Israelites. Samson never claimed any priesthood. He just grabbed a jawbone of an ass and went to work. The fact is, he inherited the gift and power to do so by priesthood. But he exercised the power of a judge in Israel because he was worthy and had the ability to be and do so. Abraham obtained the ruling patriarchal priesthood over the family of Adam. He was blessed and all kindreds of the earth were to be blessed through the authority continued in his blood line. If the most worthy person does not have the priesthood in his bloodline, there is the available power of adoption, where the most worthy is adopted into that family line. A notable example of this is Jesus. He inherited the keys to the political kingdom, from King David of the tribe of Judah, which tribe inherited the order of priesthood of the political order of kings. It was by this authority he was able to be crucified for the sins of the world and grant a civil pardon to the inhabitants. But he could also claim lineage from King David by way adoption from his stepfather Joseph. Joseph inherited the patriarchal order which presides over the family of Adam from his grandfather Abraham. And the keys were passed on to Saint Peter. Hence, the Pope and the Orthodox patriarchs get their line via St. Peter. But the Ruling patriarchal order went to the Tribe of Joseph with a preference given the the tribe of Ephraim. It was this patriarchal order that was brought to the Americas by The book of Mormon father Lehi. And then on to the modern day native Americans. The native Americans also have the bloodline of King Zedekiah of the tribe of Judah as well as the bloodline from Aaron of the tribe of Levi. Some British Ephraimites obtained a limited authority via The LDS Church. It has been prophesied that they would become abusive and the authority would be passed on to the native Americans. These are the remnant of which I refer to. This remnant was to have blood intermingled with Jesus. Jesus is the son of Adam who's anonymity has been cloaked in the office of Michael the archangel. In other words, Adam is and holds the office of Michael the archangel. Since Jesus is the son of Adam, he carries the priesthood of the archangels in his bloodline. This is one of the reason Jesus's bloodline is to establish a race of people called the branch and also the remnant in the end days. Again, it is based on worthiness. If a person becomes worthy and lacks the bloodline, the option of adoption in Jesus's family or any family is available. This has been explained in the Mentinah Archives: The Mentinah Archives Volume One thru Nine (As of Jan. 12, 2011) Page 639 44. For they shall have been prepared by all that the Lord did accomplish through the Gentiles. And even there shall be some few from among the Gentiles who shall continue to be His servants, and shall set aside the riches and the enticements of the world to serve Him. They shall not want of reward. Nay, behold, they shall be numbered in among the children of Lehi by adoption. And all wherein the Lord has blessed them shall also be a blessing unto they who become the Sons and Daughters of Lehi and of Levi. But they shall not pollute the way of the Lord with the filthiness of men. The plan and method of establishing a one people is in the intermingling of all races on the planet with particular emphasis on the bloodline of Jesus. The eclecticism of eighteenth-century France is an of example of a movement in sexual politics which allowed the intermingling of the blood lines on a larger scale. The free love movement of the 60's is another example. This is part of the blueprint and design of Humanity's growth. Polygamy was implemented for this purpose as well. Although the principle and purpose has been misunderstood and abused. The object was for the people with a strong amount of certain bloodlines to intermingle with other races and multiply on a large scale. Not for long term control, slavery or for sensual gratification. Rather, the idea was for people to have very short term affairs to allow for mingling of the blood lines with minimal commitments and not the long term commitments which were the cause of so much suffering and enslavement of family groups of women and children to one man. *****
Phoenix Journal 124 Page : Giving birth
was an individual decision. A perceptive woman could be
expected to choose her sexual mate with perception and
give birth to perceptive children. Therefore, opposing
the breeding methods of mass manipulators--of
manipulators who arrogated to themselves the role of
"authorizing" sexual relations and forbidding sexual
relations they had not "authorized"--the Northern
Europeans agreed that a woman's choice of a man by whom
she would bear children would be exclusively hers--as an
individual. The agreement was that no man could have
sexual relations with her by force or coercion, and she
need defer to no individual or group approval when
choosing her children's father. The perceptive people
reasoned that no one should have any word-invented
"authority" over the intangible portion of Nature and
Nature's God within an individual, because an
individual's value judgments are made by the God within.
The social agreement, that would not allow interference
with the highly important value judgment of each
individual woman regarding who should be the father of
her children, effectively meant that the people looked
upon each woman as a goddess.

The Nemenhah
page 726 25. Behold, it is good that we have kept our
records well away from our places of dwelling and from our
cities. For, had we not, they too shall have been despoiled.
And I know that they shall come forth out of the dust in
some far distant future and my descendants shall once again
know their grandfathers. For, of all the things that our
society shall lose, one thing shall be preserved. Yea, the
records of our doings shall last through these times and the
Lord shall bring them once again to the light of day.
------------------------------------
777 4. Behold, we do thank you for the patent which you have
transmitted unto us through your messenger, even Nephi. And
it does bring us much joy to know that the one we call
Peacemaker, even the Lord, was not fatherless and had not
posterity. Yea, it fills us with great joy that He who took
us all unto His bosom and became Father and God unto us,
does also give us brothers and sisters in a far away land.
Behold, He did tell us of a people who would come into our
land that He might do a great work among them, and that some
of them would be grafted into our vine. Wherefore, we do
live with the hope that His own blood also might be mingled
with ours and that His fathers might also become our
fathers. Then shall the fulfilling of the Gentiles be
complete and the fullness of times shall begin. 5. Behold,
we shall watch for your coming into our land and, although
we know that our own people shall dwindle and become a hiss
and a byword before the might of the Gentiles who shall come
and take our land as their own, yet are we satisfied in all
else that our Lord has taught us concerning those days. For
we know that, when the times of the Gentiles shall be
complete, He shall restore unto a little flock which shall
be of our blood and of yours, all that was once had in times
past. Then shall our families be united with yours and we
shall be one people, Zion.
------------------------------------------
779 And also keep your records, for this shall be of great
worth to your posterity. Yea, in the last days, your words
and your teachings shall guide and inform the restoration of
all things.
----------------------------------
829 17. Wherefore, we do build up our High Places upon
hallowed ground. Yea, the sacred places of our relations in
times past do become once again sacred places for us. And we
know that the same shall happen once again in this place,
for the Peacemaker restores every good thing. And behold,
the good that we do here will be remembered of the earth and
the land will remember the healing that has taken place
here. Yea, and when the Lord does bring again His people to
possess the land, they shall surely find that which we have
hidden up for them and because of that which we have
written, surely the land will be made whole again. Yea, of a
surety, the Nemenhah will restore the waste places. 18. Yea,
behold, I have seen them and I know their doing. They shall
revere once again the land and cease to abuse it. And they
shall learn to use the land 829with thanksgiving and make a
sacred walk upon her. Every step upon the earth shall they
call blessed and they shall walk upon her with a song of
thanksgiving upon their lips and in their hearts. Surely,
they shall restore all things carefully. 19. Behold, I do
not say that they shall be so numerous as the Nemenhah in
our day. Nay, there shall be many people in this land, but
the Nemenhah shall not be many. They shall come in small
groups and in families and build up their waste places. And
they shall not come with great possessions or with riches,
but with only that which they require to establish
themselves once again in the land. And none will be jealous
of them, for they shall have little of that which the world
desires. Yea, the world shall not consider them at all, for
they will have none of that which the world esteems. But
they shall be filled with the purposes of the Peacemaker and
they shall have Zion in their hearts. Is this not riches
enough? 20. But behold, they shall build up the High Place
again and their settlements shall restore that which was
once lost in this land. And behold, many of them will be
descended from a race of people whom the Peacemaker might
have established in this land in prior generations, but they
would not. But they unto whom the Peacemaker shall reveal
these records, many of them shall descend from those same
who were condemned of the Lord because they would not
fulfill His purposes, but preferred to build up a nation
unto themselves. Out of them shall spring up a remnant and
they shall combine with the remnant of Lehi left in the
land. Together they shall build up and restore many things.
21. Yea, the purification of the Ammonites shall be restored
by them. And they shall, also, baptize often and celebrate
the sacraments of the Lord again in righteousness. Surely,
the Sons and Daughters of Levi and of Aaron shall make a
sacrifice again, one that shall be acceptable to the
Peacemaker. And by and by, as they restore the ordinances of
the High Place, the people shall begin again to understand
things as they really are, and there shall be peace again in
the land. 22. Behold, they shall be cleansed from the
iniquity and filth of the world and they shall be anointed
with the oil of sacrifice. They shall know their Lord and
they shall hear His voice. There shall be fidelity and love
in their settlements and they shall, line upon line, learn
once again to have all things in common. And behold, they
shall call themselves blessed, for these are the things
which do prepare men and women to walk upon the Way. 23. And
the condemnation under which their forefathers labored for
six generations shall be lifted in them and their ordinances
and all that they do for the Lord shall be acceptable once
again before Him. Yea, their condemnation shall be lifted,
they who descend from out of that generation which did not
what the Lord commanded them. And also they among them who
descend from out of our loins, who had become a hiss and a
byword to all nations, shall raise up their 830heads and
speak with mighty words. Yea, they shall sing again the song
of the righteous because the days of their patience shall
have been completed. 24. They shall not surely cover the
face of the land, as we do. But behold, they shall begin
again to heal the earth and to prepare her for the coming of
the Peacemaker. They shall be His disciples and His
children. Yea, and through them shall He heal the hurts that
have been done to the earth. 25. Behold, and this shall be a
sign and a surety that the Peacemaker has again lifted up
the hands that hang down. For they shall call themselves
Nemenhah and they shall hurt no more the Earth, but all that
they do therein shall be a healing thing. Surely, the Earth
shall bless them. 26. For they shall have hurt the Earth in
everything that they did know by her. Yea, they cut down the
tree and hew it. But this is not enough, for they waste most
of it to make some few usable pieces with which to build.
And when they build, the structure is all sticks and air.
Wherefore, they do create of the Earth that which can be
attached to their houses of air. And they dig up the Earth
and plate it, and this they attach to their houses to make
them solid. But the walls of their houses are still but
sticks and air, wherefore, they fill them with waste to keep
out the cold. 27. And this shall be a sign of those times,
that there shall scarcely be one thing that the men and
women who shall inhabit this land shall use for houses, or
for raiment, or for food , or to move about upon the land,
that they do not buy from others. Yea, and if I were to
visit them in their homes and in their shops, behold, there
might not be one or two things in them that they shall have
made with their own hands or even that was made by an
artisan of their own village. 28. And in that day, a man
shall labor in order that he might buy his living, but his
labor shall not provide sufficiently. Yea, and in all that
he does labor, he cannot be satisfied. For with what little
of gold and silver that he does earn for his day‟s labor, he
shall be only able to purchase the day‟s sustenance. And
this shall be a kind of thralldom unto them, for all the
people of the land shall thus wear out their lives in labor
that does not satisfy. 29. But behold, the Lord shall work
upon the hearts of a few, that they shall turn away from
this slavery. And they shall go into the wilderness and take
up again the good earth. And they shall cast up their walls
as we do, and their houses shall no longer be things of air,
but they shall be solid as the ground upon which they shall
stand. And they shall produce with their own hands again
that which satisfies. 30. And among the little flock,
behold, there shall be no more of aimless labor, for they
shall have sufficient for their needs, but also a little
surplus. And they 831shall not seek to buy up the things of
the Earth, but they shall cherish her and take good care of
her. Yea, and in this shall they receive but little acclaim
and the world shall not esteem them, but the Earth shall
bless them abundantly. 31. And behold, the Lord shall surely
instruct them in this thing, and it shall be a great
ensample unto them. For, many shall say unto them, when they
go out to begin their enterprise, that such things cannot
be. Yea, they shall scoff and refute, saying: 32. You must
build the way all things are built, for it is the way of the
world. Yea, and if you choose to build another way, it shall
be to your hurt. Why think you to be different than all
people? Come, build your homes properly. Work with your
might and all will be well with you. 33. But behold, the
manner of building in that day shall be so wasteful and
costly that a man shall have to become a slave to the
possession in order to provide shelter for his family. Yea,
and the woman must also go out from the home to labor for
the upkeep of her children. And this shall be because of the
wastefulness of the manner in which they shall build all
that they build. Yea, and there shall not be one thing built
in that day that shall not be so costly as to require the
break up of the family. 34. But the Lord shall teach a more
excellent way, both in spirit and in body. For He is the
Creator and the Peacemaker. Shall He desire man to use up
the earth and to consume it all up? Behold, He shall not.
Wherefore, He shall instruct His remnant even in all that
they must do to restore the earth. And He shall begin this
schooling in the manner in which they shall build their
dwellings and their meeting places and even their High
Places. 35. Yea, where the world shall teach them that their
High Places should be built of the most costly goods, in
order that proper reverence shall be given unto the God of
Heaven, behold, He shall teach them to build with humility.
Yea, their High Place shall seem very low when esteemed by
the eyes of the world. Behold, in this shall the Lord teach
His people to heal the Earth. 36. And when they go to adorn
their High Places, shall they fill them up with the costly
things of the world? For this shall be the habit and the
custom of their times. Yea, when the world builds a temple,
behold, it is filled with costly and fine furnishings. But
this shall not be so among the Lord‟s remnant in the last
days. For they shall sit them down with but a blanket
between them and the earth from which they did cast up the
bench. And when they build a chair, it shall be the work of
their own hands, or of the hands of a neighbor. And the
floors upon which they stand shall not be made of stone cut
and crafted by unknown hands in unknown lands, but it shall
be earth that is poured and cast, and when they walk upon
it, it shall sustain them gently. 832 37. And this
shall be an ensample unto them, that they do the will of the
Lord. For, the way of the world does use up the good
thereof. But behold, the way of the Lord does sustain and
edify. The way of the world does destroy the will of man to
do good, for all his labor must go to the using up of the
Earth. But the way of the Lord does edify him, for his labor
shall return unto him a blessing from the Earth. 38. But
behold, this thing shall be hateful to the world, but in
this there is wisdom, also, in the Lord. For, if the world
does hate a thing, the world does avoid it. Yea, and when
the world shall judge this ensample of the Lord, behold, the
remnant shall be esteemed as a thing of poverty and want.
Yea, who shall molest them? For they shall have nothing that
the world might desire of them. Who shall covet a house made
of earth? Yea, when all the world esteems that retreat from
useful labor into which men and women shall have fallen as
virtuous, who shall covet the house built of such labor?
Nay, the world shall think itself above such things. 39. But
in the day in which the Peacemaker shall whisper again in
the ears of them that hear, the remnant shall take up again
the Earth without hurt. And they shall no more cut down the
tree to waste the more part of it. But they shall learn
providence again and they shall care for the Earth. And
behold, when they do this thing, the Earth shall give forth
abundantly and they shall have sufficient for their needs,
for they shall not have enslaved themselves to the costly
thing. 40. And they shall learn from this ensample that the
wisdom of their shepherds has been foolishness. Yea, they
have been taught from their youths to labor with their
might, that they might have security in their homes and in
their families. But, because the shepherds teach them to
labor for the things of the world, they shall enslave all
the people. 41. But when they do take up the Earth again,
without hurt, but with an eye single to the service of their
God, they shall cease to esteem the costly as security. Yea,
they shall see once again that the Earth does provide
abundantly for those whose hearts are not bent on destroying
her and on using her up. And the Earth shall loosen the
bonds of their captivity and she shall gently remove the
shackles of their slavery. 42. Yea, and the scales shall
fall from off their eyes and they shall see more clearly.
And in all else that they do that does use up the Earth,
they shall begin to curb themselves. Yea, they shall cease
to buy with silver and gold that which does not edify, and
the Earth shall give abundantly all that which cannot be
bought with money. Yea, their eyes shall be opened and they
shall see as they have not seen before, the wonder and
majesty and beauty of the Earth around 833them. And she
shall hold them in her embrace and they shall feel again the
love of the mother which gives them life. 43. These are the
doings of the Lord‟s remnant whom He shall bring once again
into this land. And behold, they shall be in the midst of a
great people, wherefore, do not marvel that I say that the
Lord shall bring them once again. The Gentiles shall cover
all the face of the land, and yet, the land shall not claim
them as her relations. Wherefore, the blessing and the curse
that lies upon this land shall affect them, and they shall
all be in bondage. But there shall be the seeds of liberty
planted by their forefathers yet living in their breasts and
this shall be enough to ensure that the Lord‟s remnant shall
have peace to establish Zion. 44. For, it shall be for the
sake of this liberty, which the Gentiles shall cherish above
all things, that some measure of freedom shall be granted
unto they who turn from the getting of gain, even unto the
establishing of Zion in the land. For behold, the manner of
thralldom under which the Gentile nations shall place all
the people, shall be in the love of gold and of silver.
Wherefore, they shall build up their cities and their towers
and they shall hurt the Earth. And it shall be the hurting
of the Earth that shall form a foundation for the
subjugating of the people. For, when they hurt the Earth for
the sake of gain, behold, their gain shall become slippery
and hard to hold. And all their labor shall not be
sufficient to hold onto the things they deem to be precious.
Yea, their day‟s labor shall not be enough to buy their
day‟s needs. Wherefore, they shall wear out their lives for
the sake of gain, but they shall be old and have gained
nothing. Now, all this shall be because they do hurt the
Earth to get their gain from it. 45. Now, the Lord‟s remnant
shall not seek after gold nor silver, but shall seek after
that true abundance that can only be acquired by that people
who nurture and care for the Earth. Yea, and they shall find
true riches in the abundance which comes from her bosom, and
their labor shall satisfy. Wherefore, in the midst of
slavery, wherein all men shall labor for the governors for
their bread, the Nemenhah shall eat of the bread of life and
be filled. And in the midst of bondage, wherein all men
labor with their might to provide wine for the governor, the
Nemenhah shall drink of the wellspring and they shall not
thirst. 46. And behold, the governors shall not esteem them
at all, because they shall have not gold nor silver nor any
manner of gain. Wherefore, they shall be hidden amidst the
host and shall not be discovered. For behold, only they who
have substance whereby the governors might gain shall
warrant their attention. And how can a man who eats from the
Earth that which he has planted and lives in a house made of
that same earth wherein he does plant, have wherewithal to
be 834taken from him evensomuch that the governors might pay
even the cost of taking it from him? 47. So greatly blessed
shall that man be, for he shall not be seen nor esteemed.
Yea, in the midst of the thrall there shall be slaves
enough, and he who has not shall not be desired. And the
Earth shall be so despised that he who shall stretch forth
his hand to embrace her and care for her, shall also have no
merit and no beauty that shall be desired by the world. Even
so shall the Lord instruct His people and bring them once
again. Chapter Nine 1. Now, this is not all that I have seen
concerning that time in which the Lord shall bring this
record into the light. Behold, I am blessed of the Lord
exceedingly. For I did ask of Him to reveal the times and
the seasons, and behold, He has shown unto me many things.
Yea, and I have seen the times and the seasons surrounding
the restoration of Zion in this land in the latter days. 2.
And this is a choice land, a land of covenant. Upon it lies
a blessing and a cursing, and this is the will of the Lord.
And it is also His will that the Gentiles shall also be
brought to a knowledge of Him and of His Zion. Wherefore, He
shall drive them into this land. And because of the blessing
and the curse, they shall learn more of Him and of His ways
than they could have should they remain in their own land.
Wherefore, He shall drive them. Yea, with the wind of their
own ambition, He shall toss them up upon the shore. And
behold, He shall try them in this land. 3. And He shall show
unto them a beginning, even a commencement. And He shall
raise up prophets unto them, and unto them He shall give
commandments and instruction. But they will not. Yea, they
will call themselves His Saints, and yet they will not do
what He bids them. They shall claim to speak in His name,
but their hearts shall shun the task He places before them.
4. Yea, He shall command them to go even unto the seed of
the House of Lehi left in this land, not to instruct them
but to be instructed of them. But they shall esteem them
lower in station than they and shall shun the work which the
Lord shall lay upon them. And the Gentiles shall abuse and
drive the remnant of Lehi from place to place, because that
they shall remind them ever of that which they ought to have
done in the name of the Lord, but that they chose
abomination of desolation in the stead thereof. 5. For the
children of Lehi might have taught them to temper their lust
for gain. For, we have much in our history concerning the
outcome of justice in this land when the lust for gain does
take control of the people and of the government. And even
they shall have the record of the Nephites as witness unto
835them of the same. But behold, they shall do unto the
remnant of Lehi like as they would do unto a beast of the
field which is bought with gold and brought even to the
slaughter. 6. Yea, I have seen what shall befall my own
descendents at the hand of the Gentiles. And I have seen how
that the people shall suffer and perish. But behold, they
shall not be utterly destroyed, and because they shall not
be utterly destroyed, the Lord shall preserve that part of
their customs that shall set them apart from all the world.
And even He shall raise up seers who will take of these
records which we leave in sacred places and they will
translate them by His peculiar power into their own tongues.
Then shall He teach the Gentiles a mighty thing indeed. 7.
And some of them shall take heed to His word and they will
learn a new and better way, casting away their lust for
riches and looking only to that which they need. But this
shall not come without a true trying of their faith. Yea, in
the day that they cease to hide up their treasures against
the day of need, but use them abundantly to the good of
many, then shall He graft them into the vine and they shall
be one with Lehi. Then are the times of the Gentiles
fulfilled. 8. But behold, they who are grafted in shall not
be many. For the whole world shall lust after riches and the
hearts of men and women shall not be upon the good gifts of
Heaven, but they shall seek every day to get more gain than
the previous. And with each day‟s passing, they shall hide
up more of their precious things, that they might be
esteemed rich by their neighbor. 9. But a time shall come
when they shall go even unto the place wherein they have hid
up their wealth, to withdraw it from its hiding place, but
behold, it shall not be found. Yea, it shall be taken from
them. Or, if it is not taken, it shall have lost its worth
and shall not buy bread. And this disaster shall come upon
all people at once. Yea, and so great will the disaster be
that whole peoples shall run headlong before it and shall
not be found in their place. 10. And even shall all nations
be at the ready to tumble and fall to pieces, and the
governors and the rulers shall all shake their heads and
wonder. Yea, and the money lenders shall all flee, for there
shall be no interest in anything. And the merchant shall sit
idly by, for there shall be no buying of his wares. And the
artificer shall set down his tools, for there shall be no
profit in his hire. Yea, and the mother shall have not that
which might sustain her children, for her man shall have no
means to support her, though she have right claim upon him
for her support. 11. You may believe it! And this shall be a
sign unto you that the time of refreshing shall be at hand,
yea, even it shall be at the door. Behold, a man shall not
labor to build his own house, but shall sell his birthright
to the money lenders 836for the means to engage other men to
build him a house. And because of the dearness and the cost
of the house, he shall work the whole generation to pay the
lenders. And when he has paid the lenders and the house is
free, behold, he will discover that they whom he did engage
to build the house made poor work of his commission. Yea,
the house shall have no value and shall fall, after a
generation of labor to redeem it. 12. And this sign shall be
even the same upon all things made by the hands of men. Yea,
they shall pay dearly for all that they have, and yet the
workmanship shall be such that the object of their desire
shall have no worth ere it is redeemed with his labor. Yea,
this shall be the bondage into which the man in the last
days shall sell himself. He shall be instructed by his
shepherds in the things that he must do in order that he
might be respectable. But, when the stuff is redeemed and he
has worn out his life obtaining it, there is nothing but
dust, and there shall remain none who esteem him for his
fugality and wisdom. Yea, his neighbors shall not esteem
him, for they know that he shall not esteem them in their
poverty. This is the nature of slavery that the nations
shall thrust upon all people. 13. But the Lord‟s remnant
shall learn of Him to cast off this bondage. Yea, they shall
be released from slavery because that they shall be
instructed of Him. And when men and women take up this
stewardship again, as they did in the past, behold, they
shall begin to see all things differently. Because the house
is the beginning of the community, they shall take
stewardship of that as well, and they shall esteem all
things differently. Yea, they shall see clearly that which
they esteemed of no value previously, and that which the
world shall esteem low, shall be riches unto them. 14. And
they will cease to hide up their wages, but they shall begin
to use them for their immediate good. Yea, they shall work
with their might to build a tangible future and they shall
take the Lord at His word, and live each day for its own
merit. And behold, they shall not be in bondage to their own
future, for they shall each day work toward a better future
for all people. 15. Thus shall the Lord instruct them in the
manner in which Zion is built in the heart. Yea, it shall be
through the building of His house that He shall instruct
them in the building of their own. Yea, and it shall be
through His instruction, yea, face to face, He shall be
their mentor, and they shall learn the meaning of His words.
And the record of Heaven shall be written upon their hearts.
16. Behold, I declare it unto whom this record shall be
lifted up; you shall discover yourself in the midst of
slavery and wonder that you could have wasted your life in
voluntary bondage. Yea, you shall have lived in that bondage
all of your life, without knowing it, and the discovery of
it shall cause you to wonder. 837Your wise men shall have
taught it to you and you shall have been raised up from your
youth believing it to be the best way. 17. Yea, and so
virtuous shall all men have esteemed this slavery, that the
governors shall teach it in all the world. And they shall
cause that many nations shall sell themselves into this
bondage. Yea, the governors shall do it, and the people
shall support them in it. And even many who do already live
a more perfect way, shall be compelled to lay down that
better manner in which they live, so that they might be
esteemed equal in the eyes of the world. Behold, they shall
be made to lay down abundance and take up poverty, so that
the world might esteem them to be the same as other men. 18.
But the governors and the shepherds shall not esteem men to
be men and women to be women in those days. Nay, men shall
be but the means to produce gold, and the women shall be but
a sack of provender. And a man may not stand and declare
himself, for he is not a son, but so many hours of labor.
And a woman may not stand and proclaim her generations, for
she is not a daughter, but so much stuff to be counted and
stored. 19. This is the evil that shall mark the fulfilling
of the times of the Gentiles. Behold, in eight generations
they shall have lifted themselves up from weakness into
great might, and they shall rule the world. And all nations
shall bow for a time before their obvious superiority and
their opinion shall be greatly esteemed by all the rulers of
the world. But, ere the ninth generation fails and the tenth
generation culminates, the eyes of the world shall be opened
and the rulers of the nations shall no longer be blinded by
the riches of the Gentiles. For they shall all see together
that they have become slaves, and that, even with all the
riches of the world, there is no virtue in bondage. 20. And
men shall once again stand in their lot, sons of God, and
declare themselves. And women shall proclaim their
generations, daughters of God, and they shall take up
abundance. And the esteem of the world shall fail in their
eyes, for they shall walk and talk with the Peacemaker. Yea,
they shall esteem not gold nor silver, but they shall know
their own worth and they shall esteem that abundance that
comes of the liberty of the soul. 21. And they shall cast
down the slavery into which they were sold and which they
were educated to uphold and revere. They shall walk away
from all that the world taught was sweet and desirable, but
has made bitter and good for refuse. That which the world
esteems highly, shall be distasteful to the remnant. Yea,
that for which all men labor and wear out their lives shall
be hateful to the Lord‟s remnant in the day that He shall
teach them. 22. Yea, they shall be ashamed of the ways and
the customs of their fathers and their grandfathers, for
they shall be such ways as shall cause the destruction of
838the earth and the losing of all that she does freely
offer her children. And the Remnant shall take up the earth
into their hands, not to spitefully use it, but to make
sacrifice for it. Yea, when the Sons of Levi do offer again
a sacrifice in righteousness, then shall the Lord restore
all things. And when the Daughters of Levi do make sure
their offering again, then shall He keep His promises that
He made unto the Children of Lehi, to restore them in their
bishopric.
---------------------------
861 3. I believe that this record will come into the
hands of my descendents for a good purpose in the Lord, for
He has shown them to me and my heart is returned to them.
Yea, the Peacemaker has shown me that my few words, and the
record of the establishment of our people in this country
shall be of benefit to my children in the last days. 4. And
I perceive that they will be a dispossessed people and shall
give up their homeland for money, and this shall become a
great stumbling block to them. But, in time, they shall
return once again to the knowledge of their ancestors and
they shall begin again to establish themselves in their own
land and become a people again. 5. And the record of my
words shall flow unto them through one whose connection with
them is far sundered. Nevertheless, help shall come to them
from diverse quarters and in diverse means. Wherefore, I do
greet you, my children, and I do commend this record unto
you. 6. I do not mean to suggest that this record narrates
the beginning of people in the region, for there were people
here when we arrived whose origins are their own. But to my
children I say this, your history is known and written. Your
grandfathers and grandmothers came into these coasts and
these mountains from a far country and they established
themselves in villages and settlements. And I see that you
shall have little before your eyes to prove my words to you.
Your wise men shall say that this record is a mere fancy.
Notwithstanding, I witness it unto you, that you are
Nemenhah, even the People of the Spirit, and your ancestors
remember you. 7. And behold, your sacred sacrifices, your
ceremonies, your healing ways and all that you utilize to
relieve suffering, yea, in fine, all that you make in the
day that these things shall come even unto your shores and
your mountains, are remembered of your ancestors, who I
assure you yet live and perceive your doing. And behold,
they are remembered of the Lord. Yea, your fathers and your
mothers do look upon you with great joy, for your healings,
your 861ceremonies and celebrations, yea, and in fine, all
that you do to raise up a joyful and righteous sound unto
heaven are heard by us. 8. And behold, we do celebrate with
you. You may believe it. When you make your ceremonies, we
sit with you, and when you make your sacred dances, we dance
with you. Yea, when you hold the suffering in your arms and
administer unto them, behold, you hold them also in our
arms, for we are in you and with you. When you raise up a
celebrative sound, behold, we sing with you and when the
sound of your drums rise up, we are there also. The smoke of
your pipes bring us nigh unto you and your prayers summon
us. We are ministers unto you and we bring peace into your
hearts. 9. And this is the manner of our stewardship. Do not
be amazed that I say that we work among you and minister to
you. I know that your holy people, your priests and your
seers and your healers, shall have taught you the truth of
these things. Yea, the world may scoff at you and call you
childish, but doubt not. Wherefore, do not be amazed that
such utterances should come up to you even out of the dust
and that you should receive by the hand of a stranger, words
from your ancestors. 10. Take that stranger by the hand and
rejoice with him because the hearts of your fathers are
turned to you, and that your hearts are turned to them.
Behold, only this can prepare you to stand face to face with
the Peacemaker. Only then can you receive Him in your
countenance. Yea, then shall the record of heaven be written
in you again. Amen. Chapter Seven 1. In the last days, there
will arise again in this land all the manifestations of the
healing ways of that Spirit which does quicken the Earth and
all Her parts. And behold, because of the work of prophets
and seers, the Healers shall once again arise from the midst
of the people. Yea, and they shall do great wonders and even
miracles. The lame shall walk again, and the blind shall
see. The canker and the wasting shall be cleansed from the
loins and from the sinews. The ache shall relieve and the
issue shall abate. Surely, the Healers shall once again work
with power and wonders shall not cease. 2. Yea, and these
same shall extend the gifts they shall have received even to
the healing of the Earth, and behold, the Earth shall arise
again from Her sickbed. Yea, even as a man who has been
stricken many months with a wasting and a fever does rise
himself up when the fever is broken. Yea, what man stays in
bed when the sickness has passed? But the Earth that does
sustain you shall also arise and make a commotion when the
days of Her confinement are accomplished. Yea, when the
fever is broken and She does begin to shake out the linens
of Her 862sickbed, behold, the gifts that have lain long
dormant during the time of Her ailment shall come again unto
Her children. 3. And they who call themselves Nemenhah in
those days shall be Healers. Yea, they shall be Healers of
the Earth and all that in Her dwells. For they shall
recognize once again that the soil upon which they depend is
not property, but it shall be a stewardship unto them. And
they shall see with eyes that see, and they shall realize
that they have been taught an untruth in the name of God �
that they are masters of the Earth, to subdue it. But they
shall open up their eyes and cast down the scales from their
sight, and they shall see that man is not the master of the
Earth, but the steward, and to keep the admonition of the
Peacemaker is to take good care of the Earth. 4. Behold, to
till does not mean to rend. To harrow does not mean to
shatter. It is an unfortunate thing that the children of men
shall take into their hearts in the last days, that they
interpret what is sacred into that which is unholy. Yea,
they take that which is good and make of it an evil. Because
that God gave our first parents dominion over all the Earth,
behold how in the name of God the children of men shall
injure Her. In the last days, dominion shall have less to do
with the kingdom of God and our stewardship of it, and more
to do with domination of all things living. 5. But behold,
in those same days, if a man call himself Nemenhah and yet
care not for the Earth, he shall be cast out from among
them. And if a woman call herself Nemenhah and deny the care
of the Earth, they shall not abide her in the Council. Yea,
they who call themselves Nemenhah shall take up the Earth
again in cradling arms to nurture Her and to comfort Her.
They shall surely see things as they really are and shall no
longer be blinded by the Gadiantonhem who shall have paraded
as their shepherds and their governors. They shall open up
their eyes and they shall take back up that stewardship
which the Father gave unto their parents. 6. And the Earth,
even their Mother, shall reward them. Yea, She shall arise
from Her sickbed and bless them once again. And the cursing
and the condemnation under which they shall have labored for
many years shall be lifted from them, and they shall enjoy
the great blessing that is laid upon this land. Behold, part
of this great blessing is that when they shall follow the
commandments of the Lord, they shall be prospered. And they
shall have learned this because of that little portion of
the record of the Nephites and the Lamanites which they
shall have received of the Lord. But they shall esteem
prosperity as property. Wherefore, if there be any who have
not property, the same shall be condemned of them. And if
there be any who have property, behold, these shall they
call prosperous. Wherefore, because of this interpretation,
they shall not 863understand the condemnation under which
they shall suffer, even to the sixth generation. 7. But
behold, when the Nemenhah shall arise out of the Remnant of
the loins of Lehi, they shall see again with eyes that see
and they shall hear again with ears that hear. Yea, to them
prosperity shall mean a different thing, for, they shall
care for the Earth and magnify their stewardship. Yea, and
She shall bless them and magnify them in healing power. Yea,
She shall extend to their hands even that same healing by
which She is healed. 8. Does this seem strange to you? Yet,
you shall see all these things happen in the days in which
the Nemenhah shall once again take up their stewardship.
Yea, when you shall read these things, turn your head to and
fro and see if these things are not manifest. For the
Peacemaker, even the Great Christ, is also called the Great
Healer, and He would have us become even as He is. It is for
this cause that, although we, each of us, have our
stewardship in the foundation, yet are we also trained as
Healers, every one. And though there are those whose gifts
are very great, yet there are none among the Nemenhah who
are not Healers according to their own gifts and their own
abilities. 9. And it is also for this cause that our
historians have included all that could be written about our
manner of healing, that our descendents might know how we
esteem healing as part of our stewardship, yea, we consider
it a commandment of God. Wherefore, even they who feel they
have no gift in healing are trained as healers from their
youth. And though all would prefer the administration of
that Healer whose gifts are strong and come from heaven, yet
in their absence could any one of us suffice to save the
life and render competent aid. So much do we esteem the
admonition of the Peacemaker that we become as He is. 10.
Now, this is not to say that all people administer, but
rather that it is difficult to find anyone among the
Nemenhah who knows nothing of the healing ways. Yea, the
potter knows how to bind the wound, and the miller knows how
to soothe the burn, and the thatcher knows how to cool the
blood. Yea, every father and mother can render aid to their
children and their old people, so that the Healers are not
overburdened with smaller matters. 11. Yea, and our
historians also write how that the Nemenhah send to all the
world to find out their ways of healing and their medicines.
Yea, in days of old, our prophets walked in distant lands
and our seers studied the ways of other nations. And behold,
all the knowledge that they learned in far away places, they
did also add unto our own. Wherefore, be not surprised to
find how we did make admission into our own language names
of things from others. 12. In fine, it is the custom and the
tradition of the Nemenhah to learn the good and healing ways
of all peoples and to bring them into the foundation. Yea,
we 864accept the ways of many people, if they are healing
ways, and this has been our tradition from the beginning.
13. Or do you think that Hementah and Cumeni were of the
same people and tradition as Hagotl? And perhaps you
consider Pa Hementem and Shi-Tugohah of the same people as
Hagmeni? They were not. For, Hagotl and Hagmeni were of the
Nephites in the Land Southward and Hementah and his brother
were Ammonites. Behold, the Nephites welcomed them in and
gave them land to make their inheritance, but they were
never Nephites. 14. And the Nephite way was different than
the Ammonite way, yet, when Hagotl brought his company into
the Land Northward, they were no more Nephite nor Ammonite,
but became Nemenhah every one of them. And they did merge
the ways of the Nephites that were good with the ways of the
Ammonites that were good. Yea, and their ways became one
way. 15. Do you suppose that they argued over whose way was
right or whose traditions were better? Behold, I say unto
you, they did not, but they did embrace that which was good
in both ways. Behold how their customs did emerge into a
better way. This is an ensample unto us and we continue in
it to this day. 16. And behold, the people who shall emerge
in the last days, yea, even that people who shall call
themselves Nemenhah, shall also have this custom and it
shall come from out of their own dust. Yea, we speak our
ways into their hearts and they, taking their own ways that
are good, and also all the ways of all the world that are
also good, do also make an emergence. 17. For the unifying
of all that is good is truly a teaching of the Peacemaker,
even Jesus Christ. Is it different than that which has been
taught of Jesus in your day? I cannot help that, for surely
His teachings shall have been wrought upon by wicked men.
Nevertheless, these are His teachings as we have them, and
they are beautiful. 18. Yea, it shall become the custom of
all they who call themselves Nemenhah, though it go against
the custom of the fathers, yea and even their nation, to
take up the good teachings from all nations and make them
their own. And it is because of the words of this record
that they shall do this thing, wherefore, our ways and our
customs shall live in them again. 19. And there shall be
many who shall deride them because of this custom. Yea,
there shall be many who shall say: Behold how they have no
thought of their own! Behold, how they corrupt the ways of
our fathers with the ways of other people! Behold how they
take up that which is sacred and taint it with the customs
and traditions of other people! 86520. But the Nemenhah
shall not contend one with another over whose tradition is
better, if it is good. They shall have no contention if the
matter is healing. For their purpose shall be the healing of
the Earth and the relieving of suffering. Behold, theirs
shall not be a jealous custom or a selfish tradition, but it
shall be for the good and benefit of all people. Wherefore,
there shall be no contention among them on these points,
only debate and discussion to ascertain the goodness or the
badness of a custom or tradition. 21. And governors shall
revile them for that they do bring together the teachings of
other peoples. But this custom they shall have received from
those of us who have spoken to them out of the Earth, their
grandfathers and their grandmothers. And behold, in the end,
this custom shall be a protection for them. For they shall
make peace in all their words and doings, in a time when
dissentions shall threaten all nations.
------------------------------------
897 22. And what little of our own traditions that shall
survive shall be kept in the legends and the stories that
are told at the hearth alone. Yea, were it not for the
workings of the Spirit in the hearts of that Remnant of our
posterity among whom the Peacemaker shall make a great work
in the last days, our ways and our customs might be lost to
history completely. 23. I am reminded of the blessing and
the curse which has been placed upon this land, that as long
as the people do live the teachings of the Peacemaker, they
shall have peace and they shall prosper in the land. But, in
the day that they leave the teachings of the Peacemaker and
seek their own way, that peace shall be lost and their
prosperity shall turn to calamity. 24. This is the prophecy
that I leave with my people and unto a future race which
shall take up these records and use them as a schoolmaster
to their own actions. Be instructed by the generations that
have left behind their own warnings and prophecies
concerning the land upon which you place your feet and the
days in which you live.
=======================================
926 And these books have I also laid in store in this
library, according as the Peacemaker did teach me, in a not
far distant time, our descendents, even the fruit of our own
bodies, shall take them up again. Yea, and even because of
these things which I lay in store, they shall make a great
restoration of all that shall be lost for a season. 4. And
this restoration shall be seen in the visions that shall
come to the wise men and women of that time. They shall see
it as a renewing, even a renewing of the earth. And the
ground shall rise up in their visions, as if to cover the
whole earth. And that which shall have disturbed and hurt
the earth shall be covered up with new soil. This is the
delightsome thing that they shall see in their visions. I
say it is delightsome, for the earth shall have been sorely
abused in their day and how can the wise see a renewing of
all things and not find delight in the vision? 5. Now, these
are the books which are contained in the Library of
Penlinisits: the Archives of the Records of Mentinah and its
People, the Archives of the Records of Nespelhem and its
People, the Archives of the Nemenhah of the Coasts, the
Books of Corianton, the Book of Remembrance of the Nemenhah
of Corianton, the Small Book of Tuilhah, the Greater Books
of Tuilhah, the History of Hagotlah, the Record of the
Nemenhah of the Islands, Mor-Honayah‟s Record of the End of
the Nephite People, the Books of Akekthim, and the Record of
the Ancients of Penlinisits, the many books which do
comprise the Teachings of Pahmet Akekt and, finally, the
Books of the Jaredites. 6. These are the books which the
Peacemaker shall cause to come out of the earth and to speak
to my descendents, even the fruit of my loins. And He has
shown it to me in a vision upon the Way, that out of my own
family He shall raise up one of the prophets whom He shall
use to bring about this great work. Yea, and out of other
families of the Nemenhah He shall raise up others, until the
work of translation is complete and all this library is had
by the people. 7. Of all these books have I made many
copies, that they may become dispersed throughout all the
Nemenhah. It is my hope that, because of the great number of
these libraries which I have caused to exist among my
people, when the Lord does move upon the hearts and the
minds of the Remnant of the Nemenhah, yea, even those sons
and daughters of Lehi who are left in the land, enough of
our record might be revealed to them as to provide for them
a warning and a right model. 8. Behold, if you are among
such as the Lord has shown unto me in vision, do not as I
shall show you that the Nemenhah of the Forests have done.
-----------------------------------------------
948 17. Yea, I doubt not that you have heard much prophecy
concerning them, wherefore, I shall not burden you with more
of it. But I do come unto you with instruction that will be
for your preservation in your generation and in the
generation that shall come. But behold, three generations
shall not pass before many such men shall come and begin to
fill up all the land between the East Sea and the Missip.
Yea, and in four generations, there shall be no more room
for you between the Missip and the Plains. And these
Gentiles shall fill the whole earth. 18. The Nemenhah shall
be broken up and shall become a Remnant People. Here and
there shall the ancient ways of the People be preserved, and
in the books also shall the Sacred be hidden up for a time
of restoration. And this is all wisdom in the Lord, for the
Gentile will perform for him a service but a little while,
ere He finish His work. 19. But behold, your people shall
diminish, first with diseases for which you will have little
defense, for your Healers will not know them, and then with
bloodshed, for the Gentiles shall rule the Earth by the
sword and they shall conquer from one sea to the other. All
this has been foretold, and you know it well. But beware to
do the things in which I now instruct you and you will enjoy
one or two generations of peace before the land is scourged.
20. Withdraw the Nemenhah up the Missip. Yea, call in all
your villages from out of the Isles of the Gulf and bring up
your People from the Coasts of the Gulf. Withdraw up the
Missip even many days journey and make no more villages in
that direction. This will preserve you and your people long
enough to hide up your records that the Gentiles find them
not. 21. Behold, the Lord will, in His own due time, call up
Prophets here and there among them, and He will reveal much
to them, as you already know. But behold, of your record, He
will not reveal it unto them, only unto the Remnant will he
reveal your doings. And, even though the Remnant shall have
much of the Gentile in them, for they shall come out of the
Dispensation of the Fullness of the Gentiles, yet shall they
also carry in them the blood of their ancestors who were
Nemenhah in this land. This is the Remnant of the House of
Lehi which shall be left in the land, and the Lord shall
restore the land through them. Yea, the Earth shall be
blessed because of the Remnant. 22. But unto the Gentile, he
shall show only the record of a fallen people, yea, of my
fallen people. Of these the Gentiles shall be taught for an
ensample unto them. And the Gentile shall puff himself up
because he has learned of an ancient 948people, but he shall
not turn from his lust and the Earth shall be consumed
before him. Yea, a little restoration, and a glimpse of
Zion, shall the Lord give unto the Gentile in this land. But
they shall sin even against that little bit, and the
Peacemaker shall give his bishopric unto another. Yea, unto
Lehi‟s seed shall it be given once again. 23. But behold,
you and your people shall enjoy one last season of joy, and
you shall walk the path upon which you have placed your feet
without fear. But ere long, a path filled with tears shall
be the legacy of your near descendents, and barely shall
there be any left to pass on the story of it. Nevertheless,
the Lord shall preserve all that is Sacred, and He will
visit they who remember Him. Behold, out of such suffering
through which He alone is powerful to save, shall rise up a
nation fair beyond all nations. Then, out of much travail
and suffering, shall the Dispensation of the Fullness of
Times be ushered in. 24. Now, when Timothy had finished this
short speech, he made an end of speaking and sat in silence.
And I perceived in him a great burden and a sadness which it
seemed he could hardly bear. And, before the sun rose upon
the following day, Timothy went his way and was not seen
among the People. 25. And the words of his counsel were
spoken in all the Council Lodges of the Nemenhah of
Pegnlitl, and we did as he instructed. Yea, we called upon
all our people to withdraw many days up the Missip and we
ceased to make villages down further into the south. And we
made copies of all the records and we hid them up in diverse
places, against the day when the Peacemaker would deliver
them into the hands of our descendents for His good
purposes.
------------------------------------------
956 4. And we know not how long we shall extend our
habitation here in the home of our fathers, but we shall
stay as long as the Peacemaker has need of us here. For
behold, the records of our people have all been hid up
against the day when the Gentiles shall dishonor the
blessing and the cursing that is laid upon this land. Yea,
when they shall sin against that which has been promised,
the great nations which they shall have built up unto
themselves shall falter, and many shall fall completely. In
that day shall the records of the Nemenhah be of great value
unto that people upon who the Lord shall lay the work of
healing and of restoration. 5. And it is a great comfort to
us that He shall separate from out of all the earth a
Remnant which shall be Nemenhah. Yea, and the blood of Lehi
shall flow in many of them. Yet shall there also be many
among them who shall share with them a great blessing, for
the Remnant of Lehi shall take them up as a fatherless
child.
---------------------------------------------
1001 12. But the Peacemaker shall bring up out of the fallow
Earth a tender shoot. Yea, the land shall be fallowed, that
it might rest and be healed. But the Lord shall not multiply
the fallow days. Nay, ere the Gentiles are full aware of
their failure, the Peacemaker shall have already prepared
the seeds of restoration. And He shall raise up from the
midst of the ruiners, yea, even from out of the waste places
of the Gentiles, a Remnant out of the House of Lehi, and
they shall exercise the will of the Peacemaker upon the
land, that it be healed. 13. Now, be not confused neither be
gainsaid. This same Remnant of Lehi shall be a mixed people
with the blood of many nations flowing in them. It is
because of this that I said that the Gentiles shall become a
desolating scourge upon even our bodies. Nevertheless, that
portion of the blood of our fathers which shall flow through
their veins, after that the time of the Gentiles shall have
been fulfilled, shall excite in their children a remembrance
of things long forgotten, yea, and a yearning for things
long abandoned. 14. Memories shall take shelter in them and
principles shall grow up in them, of things they never knew.
They shall bring in again a time of healing. They shall
surely beat their swords into plows and their spears into
pruning hooks. The Gentiles shall burn in their lust and
devour each other, but their evil shall pass by the Remnant,
or rather, the Remnant shall not take it up. They shall call
themselves Nemenhah once again and shall establish
themselves in their Lodges and in their Communities, in all
the places wherein we have dwelt since Hagoth of Old did
begin this, our long journey.
-----------------------------------
1010 All save a small Remnant walketh to and fro braying.
These same looketh up into heaven and curseth because of
their lack. Of such is the pride and the folly of the
Gentile in the last days, even the fullness of the 1009times
of the Gentiles. But the Remnant looketh up into heaven and
are full of praise and thanksgiving, even in adversity. 30.
Yea, out of thy loins shall spring a Remnant that shall do
not foolish things to call themselves wise. They think not
about all the comfort that once was, but of the abundance
that existeth in the good day in which I do place them. They
perceive with eyes wide open and strive to provide for
themselves and for their neighbor. And, what is more, in
their striving they seek not to hurt the Earth, but to
replenish Her according as I have commanded. They shall be
blessed, for, whereas the Gentile seeth only his lack, the
Remnant standeth in full view of the abundance of the Earth.
It is a blessed generation that standeth in holy places in
those days! 31. Wherefore, be thou of very great cheer! Yea,
rejoice thou in thy posterity! For they raise up that
generation which seeth the Lord and walketh with Him face to
face, as one man walketh with another. And they talk with
the Master even as one man talketh unto another. I shall
make mine abode with them and I shall not hesitate to call
them my friends! And what is there in this that bringeth not
joy into the hearts of their fathers and comfort into the
hearts of their mothers? 32. And the man of God is easily
distinguished in those days. Yea, he puffeth not himself up,
and the woman is not haughty. The husband abuseth not his
privilege and the wife is equitable. The husbandman tilleth
without extortion and the artisan seeketh not to abase his
fellow. In council they are not prideful and in policy they
serve each other equally without division. 33. And they have
all things in common, but they esteem not riches. Wherefore,
there are no beggars among the Remnant. But behold, they
long since ceased all contention concerning the foundation,
for they walk with me and they talk with me. Wherefore,
wherein might contention arise? And because they walk with
me and talk with me, there is not one that standeth above
another in rank, or file, or authority. Behold, the Remnant
doth choose Councils for governance and for policy, but
there is none among them that riseth up above another. 34.
And here is another sign unto thee, that the times of which
I speak hath surely come; behold, the Remnant shall
consecrate their time, talents, and their surplus unto me,
yea, and they shall make their hands and feet holy. But this
doth not mean that they take all that they have and
surrender it up to some steward. Nay, but they are the
stewards and need not such regulation. And behold, this is
the right way. 35. And many in that day contesteth, saying:
101036. Behold! They follow not this Order or that Order,
wherefore, they cannot be the people of the Lord. But I say
unto thee, they who say such things need only look to my own
record and study my teachings and they shall see things
differently. For, when I was on the Mount and taught many
people, behold the day extended and they did hunger and
thirst. And I asked of my disciples what there was to eat,
and there were some loaves and but a few fishes. And when I
did begin to break bread, behold all the people come forth
with the little that they had with them and we did break
together. And when we had all thus supped of the surplus,
there was yet a surplus, and this was deemed a miracle, for
so it was! 37. But come, let us reason together. Did I ask
of the people to bring all that they had with them and add
it with our own? I did not. Did they give up their oxen and
their asses? Did they render unto me, or to some steward,
their houses and their goods? Nay! But they stepped forward
with that surplus which they had with them and together all
our bellies were filled. Behold, let this be a sign unto
thee that the times of which I speak have surely come at
last, and that I am at work bringing about the restoration
of all things. 38. And the Remnant debateth not doctrine and
constraineth no man to believe this way or that way. Behold,
they shall not argue over the purity, but all shall receive
my doctrine from me and confirm it by the Holy Ghost. And no
man judgeth the pure from the impure, nay, nor the worthy
from the unworthy. For the Father hath given all judgment
unto me, wherefore, how judgeth man his neighbor? But each
man judgeth in his own heart that which he doeth, and
constraineth none to do likewise. This shall also be a sign
of such times. For behold, it is the Gentile that seeketh
that all men believe as he believeth, but not so the
Remnant. Yea, though he preacheth and teacheth, though he
expoundeth and exhorteth, yet the Remnant constraineth not,
nor preventeth. For behold, he knoweth not all things, as I
do. Wherefore, he leaveth judgment unto He who is mighty to
judge. 39. And sin shall not be done away, but the pure in
heart doth always avoid it. And when, perchance, he doth
fall into sin, behold, he repenteth speedily. And if he
repenteth not, he is not of the Remnant, and surely you may
know it. 40. And they marry in my name and the man
covenanteth with me to make it a holy union. Yea, they make
alliance, and the woman convenanteth with me to sanctify it.
And the man and the woman are faithful to their covenant,
for it is my covenant of marriage. And if they remain
faithful to that covenant I shall make their union lasting,
even as the Father and the Mother have made their union
lasting. 41. And they beget sons and daughters and
consecrate them unto me with an holy ordinance. Yea, and I
do visit blessings upon all who doeth this thing in my
1011name. For, though the child belongeth unto the parent
for a season, even so, if the parent offereth up the child,
that I might make a holy adoption, I shall cause that they
shall have association together for all eternity. For
behold, all they who believe on me hath the Father given
unto me. Wherefore are we all one relation which doth stand
for time, as also for eternity � worlds without end. 42. And
they shall baptize in my name, having the Holy Ghost to
accompany them. And this baptism shall be by the baptism of
John, even the baptism by emersion. Or it shall be by the
Baptism of the Ammonihah, even the baptism of Itsipi, which
is acceptable to me. Yea, they baptize when the age of
accountability is reached, wherein the man or the woman
knoweth my will, that they might take upon them my name and
become mine indeed. And they shall also baptize in order
that they may emulate that sacrifice which I have made for
them. Behold, this is my church, all my relations. And they
do baptize again whenever the Spirit doth manifest. And they
do baptize again when they receive of me my commission. And,
in fine, they do baptize often and for diverse reasons and
purposes, but all these purposes are in me and for my name‟s
sake. 43. Yea, the Remnant walk the earth and their walk and
talk is made holy by the Peacemaker whose spirit they carry
within them. And the Holy Ghost shall be their constant
guide and companion, confirming in them all that is right
and true. Wherefore, they have both that same comforter
which the Father gave after that I departed out of the midst
of the people, and also they have the Second Comforter,
which is a restoration into my presence. 44. Behold, the
Remnant supporteth their relations and upholdeth they whom I
have called to serve me in my purposes. And when they are
constrained to commerce, all their business is done in
honesty of heart and cheerfulness of spirit. And this is
their comportment when they are constrained to commerce. But
when they are at home with their relations, behold, they
make no commerce at all, but give freely of their substance,
receiving gratefully again. This shall be that which the
world shall look upon with distrust, and the wise man
calleth it peculiar. Nevertheless, it is my way and they
shall walk in my paths. 45. Yea, they shall restore the High
Place and there shall stand once again a Kohath at the door
of mine holy house, that a living sacrifice may be made
again. Yea, and they shall prepare the hearts of the
children to receive again of the hearts of the fathers,
wherefore, the Earth shall not be wasted at my coming. Yea,
through thy descendents, and those of thy fellows, even the
Remnant of the house and family of Lehi left in the land, I
shall restore the Sons and Daughters of Levi to their legal
and rightful bishopric, and their sacrifice shall be
acceptable before me. 101246. And they shall begin again to
observe the ordinances of the High Place, and they shall
institute Shabboth in my name. Yea, they shall celebrate
again that good news which I shall bring up into their
hearts, and they shall sing a new song. And behold, my holy
house shall once again be a happy house, and one full of
praise and thanksgiving. Behold, their joy shall be my joy
and I shall not prevent them. 47. And if thou remainest
faithful in the good day in which I have placed thee, unto
thee shall I grant that thou mayest see the doings of thy
children, even that faithful Remnant, and even thou shalt
walk and talk with them from time to time to instruct them.
Wherefore, blessed art thou, my servant Eapalekthiloom, for
thou shalt be remembered in that day and thy doings shall be
an ensample unto the Remnant. Yea, and I shall cause that
thy name shall be given again unto my servants in that day,
as a remembrance of thee. 48. Yea, it may even be said in
those days that the restoration could not come, save that
the Remnant return again unto their fathers. And they shall
look upon the vistas of time, for I shall go before them,
and they shall see thy day, Eapalekthiloom, and because of
it they shall bring again a blessed time. And behold, even
though their numbers may be few, yet shall I rejoice in the
restoration of all things that all come because of their
faithfulness. 49. Wherefore, seest thou how great a blessing
shall come into the world because of thy diligence? For,
were it not for the record that thou shalt make of thy
doings, and also the many records which I shall cause to
fall into the hands of my servants in those days, there
could never be a restoration. Therefore, lift up thine eyes
and be cheerful. For out of thy loins shall spring a
fruitful bough, as Joseph of old. And out of thy posterity
shall a blessing come upon all the Earth. Amen.
---------------------------------------------------
1020 22. Nevertheless, we do yet walk upon the WAY and have
some revelation, yea, and the gifts of the Spirit do yet
manifest among us. Wherefore, we hold out hope that the
Peacemaker shall finish His work which He has commenced
regarding the Gentile in this land. And when He has
fulfilled His purpose in them, we know that He will restore
the Remnant of the Nemenhah to a place of honor, for He it
is who has declared it unto us. Toward this end do we labor.
--------------------------------------------
1023 39. He has taught us about his people, even as
Eapalekthiloom requested of him, and I am satisfied with his
answer. He has given us a good picture of the customs and
the beliefs of his people. He has indicated that the one
sure Covenant that is dictated is that the Creator is
recognized as the possessor of the creation, and that we are
stewards of His possessions. He has satisfied us that the
Nemenhah of the Mountains understand this principle enough
to have all things in common, because of the fact that the
Creator blesses us all equally with the gifts of creation.
His people are stewards of the Earth and they are Healers.
This is Nemenhah. They covenant one with another, and with
God, to consecrate their walk and their talk, and because of
it, there are no poor among them. In all these things, the
Nemenhah of the Mountains seem just like us, and this gives
me cause to rejoice in my heart. I am convinced that the
Lord is preserving some few of us in diverse places so that
in the fullness of times, when He has finished His work with
the Gentiles, there will yet be a remnant with which He will
build up the Nemenhah again in this land.
---------------------------------------
1033 32. Our descendents will read of our works and wonder
in their hearts how it was that we could even hope to
maintain the ways and customs of our fathers in the face of
the great challenges which have affronted us, which do now
assail us on every side, and which will not cease to litter
our path with obstacles until the Peacemaker comes. Yea,
they will read of our deliberations with wonder. 33. But it
is our duty to labor so in their behalf. Behold, we know
that this land will be given up to the Gentile, for it has
been foretold to us by the Peacemaker Himself.
Notwithstanding, we also know that He will raise up from out
of the Earth a Remnant unto which He will deliver again the
foundation. This Remnant we are told will be our own
descendent, and those from among the repentant Gentiles whom
our descendents may choose to accept into the fellowship and
the covenant of our Lord. These same shall be the True Sons
of Levi and of Lehi, and also all they whom the Peacemaker
grafts into the vine.
--------------------------------------------
1036 48. But do not despair, Nemenhah! For I have also seen
that the Peacemaker shall continue to whisper into the
hearts of a few, and they will dream dreams and see visions
which they do not understand. Nevertheless, there shall be
that in the visions which will cause them to hold true to
the fundamental principles upon which our foundation is
built. Yea, there shall be preserved in a religion to which
the Gentile will be very hostile, that which will remind the
Remnant of our doings. It will awaken the Remnant in the
moment that the Gentile is ripe for destruction. 49. For
behold, the way of the Gentile is gain. And to get gain, the
Gentile shall use up the Earth and all the abundance that
She has to offer. And there shall be a great consumption
that will threaten the very existence of the Gentile in all
the lands he has conquered. Yea, he shall be consumed even
as he has consumed. Even as he has sown, so shall he reap.
50. Behold, I have seen how that he will take from the Earth
and give nothing in return. And even I have witnessed how he
will dig up the Earth in many places, taking that which is
precious of it to scatter again upon ground that is all used
up and has not been allowed to regenerate. And all that he
shall scatter upon the Earth shall hasten the desolation
that shall befall him. 51. Behold, this is the faculty and
the folly of the Gentile. His policy shall always be to get
gain, but the getting of gain shall never restore anything.
Wherefore, there shall come an end to any gain at all. Then
shall he stand in the lot which he has created, and mourn.
In that day shall the Gentiles collapse, just as we have
seen the people collapse who entered onto the same path
heretofore. 52. Yea, and I have been promised that we shall
be given a great blessing, we who live in these days, who
have been blessed with visions of the future. Behold, the
Peacemaker shall allow us to be the voices whispering into
the dreams and the visions of our descendents in the last
days. Now, is this not a great blessing? Have we not reason
to rejoice in our day? 53. I will tell you what whisperings
I shall put into the heart and the mind of my descendents.
Behold, I shall show them how all that which is built up by
the Gentile shall be swallowed up. Yea, I shall show them
how the Earth in Her wisdom shall cause the consumption to
end. 54. Then shall all that was built up by the Gentile be
covered up again by the Earth and all will become fallow
ground. Yea, I shall show them the things which have been
foretold concerning them, that they despair not. They shall
see in dream and vision the renewing of the Earth and the
re-establishing of the foundation. Yea, they shall see the
return into the hearts and hands of men that way which takes
from the Earth of Her abundance in gratitude, but also
returns to Her with surplus, that She might be replenished.
1036 55. The ways of our fathers shall not be forgotten, but
there shall be a refreshing for a time. Then, because the
Lord will allow us to impart unto our descendents of our own
memories, there shall be a restoration of all things.
Wherefore, rejoice Nemenhah! Evil shall be the future, and
we must be reconciled with the destruction and desolation of
our people and our country. Nevertheless, the Lord is good,
and He remembers His children in their extremity. We shall
be restored in the last day, and the Earth with us! 56. And
we know, for it has been foretold unto us by the prophets of
our forefather, by our own prophets and also by the
Peacemaker Himself, that He will not leave the Earth
disconsolate. Nay, but He will restore not only Her
substance, but He will also raise up out of our loins not
only prophets to teach the people, but a generation who will
put right the woeful mistakes which shall have been made
concerning the stewardship. 57. Wherefore, I will be of good
cheer. I will work in that stewardship unto which I have
been called and I will not be weighted down in concerns
about which I may make no meaningful change. Let us stand in
our lot and be diligent in that duty which the Lord has
given unto us, and leave for the future that correction
which He will be mighty to make. In our time, let us
diligently follow His commandments to us, and to record our
doing, that we might be an ensample unto our descendents.
For surely, they will be in great need of such ensample.
--------------------------------------------------
1058 6. But we continue in this land for a good purpose in
the Lord. For we know that a time shall shortly come when
our descendents shall once again inhabit this place to
re-establish the foundation. And we know that, although the
nations may rise against them and the Gentile may shake his
heel, nevertheless, the Peacemaker shall be with them and
they shall be successful. 7. Yea, Nemenhah shall once again
join together in the Covenant and they shall shun the world
and put away avarice. Men shall no more seek only to get
gain and they shall cease to hurt the Earth. In those days,
behold, it has been revealed to us, men and women who have a
particle of Nemenhah in their veins shall return to the
purpose of their ancestors. Yea, they shall seek again a
better way. They shall set down the war that is in their
hearts and take up a way of peace. 8. And we know that,
because we have seen their day, the things that we write may
be of worth to them when the Peacemaker shall call them up
again to redeem the land which shall have been taken from
them. Yea, they shall be called to redeem the land, which
shall have been bathed in blood.
--------------------------------------------------------------
1066 24. And we know also that the Lord has promised to
restore the Nemenhah to this beautiful land. Yea, and He has
promised to restore His Remnant in all the lands out of
which they have been, and shall be driven. That we are
laying a firm foundation for them also gives us a reason to
work diligently in all that the Lord has called upon us to
do. The Nemenhah have always been a people of purpose. Ours
is a purpose for the future. 25. Wherefore, we labor to
regulate our affairs and to record our doings, that our
description of them might be the more easily translated and
understood. For behold, we also know, and have foreseen,
that our language will no longer be spoken by any of the
remnants of the Nemenhah left in the land. So sundered shall
be the languages in the time that this record shall come
into the hands of they unto whom the Lord shall deliver
them, that the translation of them must be made almost
entirely upon the Way.
---------------------------------------------------
1071 14. But I am the Alpha and the Omega, for all thing lay
before me, and I know the beginning from the end, and I
declare unto you, my friends, that the time comes when even
the more part of the Nemenhah shall have forgotten my ways.
Nevertheless, for your sakes, and because there shall be yet
a few who will hold in remembrance that blessing which I
gave unto their fathers, they shall not fall completely into
apostasy. Yea, they shall not fall completely away, and I
shall visit them in visions and in dreams, and their
prophets shall hear my voice. 15. For I have caused the
hearts of men to move within them, and the are driven upon
the face of the earth. And to fulfill my purposes, I have
called upon the Gentiles and they cannot resist. Yea, and
they come into the land even now, to possess it. And they
shall be your masters for a season. 16. But when they have
accomplished the work whereunto I shall call them, behold,
they too shall forget me, yea, and many shall turn their
backs upon me and shake their heel at me. Many shall deny my
hand in their restoration in the land and they shall esteem
themselves the masters and the lords of all the earth. Such
is the pride of the Gentiles. 17. But ere the end of time
comes, behold, these little kings and queens shall turn
their faces even unto the remnants of the Nemenehah, and
they shall esteem great good in them and in their
foundations. Then shall the Kings and the Queens eat the
dust of your feet. They shall put upon themselves your shoes
and your 1071garments, build unto themselves houses after
the fashion of your ancestors, yea, they shall adopt unto
themselves your ways and many of your customs. These same
shall become your nursing mothers and your nursing fathers.
Whereas, once in their great pride they did put themselves
upon all the peoples of the earth, as their master and
teacher, behold, ere long they shall look to you for the
opening of the eyes and the unstopping of their ears. 18.
Behold, they shall not be like unto you, neither shall they
think as you think. Their walk and their talk shall be
different. Think not that you can ever understand them, for
in the moment that you do, behold, you have lost the
foundation and you have become one with them. This shall
indeed by the plight of the more part of the Children of
Lehi left in the land in that time of which I speak, and
behold, the time comes speedily. But there shall be some few
who continue in the ways of their fathers, despite the
persecutions of the Gentiles.
-------------------------------------------------------------
52 101. Now, Enoch wrote only that which I commanded him, as
did the Brother of Jared. Many things did they ask and
nothing could be withheld so great was their faith. Be it so
with thee also, Ougou, for the Church of the Nemenhah is my
Inner Church. But thy writings will come unto their
descendents in the end times according to the promise I made
to thy Fathers. Yea, and through thy descendents I shall
redeem all Israel. 102. But the Gentiles shall rule until
that time comes and they shall not have the faith of the
Nemenhah. And thy descendents shall languish for a season in
bitter slavery. Their masters I shall make strong and
through them I shall make a preparatory restoration, and the
writings of the Nephites shall be principle in that work.
Behold, if they prove worthy, I shall seal them unto my
house and they shall have part in the blessing of thy
descendents. But if they do not make my paths strait, I
shall make use of their exceedingly great energy to spread
my 52preparatory work. Then shall I seal from among them
some few who will come and give over the kingdom and this
fair land unto your descendents. 103. Wherefore, write only
that which I command thee, Ougou. Unto whom these words
shall come, I shall reveal even what I have revealed to the
Nemenhah and even I will show him to you on the Way. Yea,
thou shalt teach him with thine own mouth. Therefore, thou
shalt have no need of writing the mysteries.
--------------------------------------------
55 122. But my people must be gathered from out of all the
world and I will use the Gentiles to accomplish this
gathering. Wherefore, a time shall come when your
descendents shall be isolated amidst a sea of unbelief. And
because there shall be no diversity of the seeds, the
Nemenhah of Mentinah shall dwindle and the Valley of
Menintah shall fall into the hands of a plundering nation
and many precious things shall be lost. Then the land will
fall into the hands of a remnant of your posterity again and
they shall keep the sacred mountain. 123. But, behold I say
unto you, It is my will that the Gentiles come into the land
to possess it, for through them I shall gather in my sheep
from the four quarters of the earth. Yea, I shall bring the
Gentiles into this sacred land and I shall establish my
covenant among them. Wherefore, if they keep my statutes, I
shall graft them into the vineyard and they shall bear much
fruit and be the cause of much righteousness. 124. But
behold, they shall also corrupt my doctrine. For the
Gentiles are zealous in the getting of gain. And this thing
always brings grief to the people who inhabit this land. In
that day I shall cause the faithful to make a regulation of
my Church. And there shall be among the Gentiles one who
shall be of noble birth, yea, he shall spring out of the
kings and queens of the earth; yea, and even he shall
descend out of the loins of mine own close kinsman; and he
shall I raise up among the Gentiles who shall rule the land;
but he shall also spring out of the loins of my servant,
Ougou, and is of my covenant people, and unto Him will I
deliver the writings of the Nemenhah. 125. For though I
shall establish my Church among the Gentiles, I shall redeem
my Zion through the remnant of my people. Yea, the Gentiles
shall be industrious in the last days and I shall use that
industry to carry my gospel to all the nations. And many of
them will be true and faithful. These shall I graft into my
true vine. And they will assist the remnant in building the
New Jerusalem. 55 126. But the Gentiles shall set their
hearts exceedingly upon the things of the world and shall
not be diligent in rooting out the Gadiantonhem from among
them. Wherefore, I shall use my remnant, even my weak
remnant, to thrash all nations together, and the Gentiles
shall lose my approval and shall fall. 127. Wherefore, ye
Nemenhah, the things that ye write I shall preserve for the
end of times when I shall restore my remnant. When, in my
own due time, I shall finish my work, yea, my strange work.
Stand ye in holy places and be patient, therefore, ye
Nemenhah. For, the record of your doings shall I hold up as
an ensample for the redemption of the land and the
establishment of Zion. And this shall be a great stumbling
block to the Gentiles and shall be vexatious to them. For
they shall have been established in my name for this
purpose, and they shall build a foundation. But the
culmination of the ushering in of the fullness of times, and
the fullness of knowledge, and the fullness of wisdom, and a
fullness of the Spirit, shall be accomplished by the weak,
not by the wise, and by the meek not the mighty. Yea, it
shall be by the slave, not by the master. 128. But stand ye
in your holy places. Prepare ye every good thing. The wicked
shall do wickedly in every age, but for a time, there shall
be peace and tranquility in this land. But beware, for the
adversary never sleepeth and would drag the Nemenhah down
into suffering. Yea, ye are blessed because of your
diligence, but your posterity shall dwindle, as all my
remnant shall dwindle. Nevertheless, I shall preserve my
remnant unto the last day.
--------------------------------------------------
62 168. And my people who are a remnant of Jacob, even those
of your posterity that I shall preserve in the land, shall
dwell among the Gentiles and the wicked. Yea, they shall be
surrounded by the wicked, as if among the beasts of the
forest, as a young lion among the flocks, who, when I shall
command him, shall go through and tread down and tear in
pieces, and none can deliver. Their hand shall be lifted up
upon mine adversaries, and all the nations shall fall before
them. Yea, woe be unto the Gentiles except they repent. For
it shall come to pass in the day I establish my remnant,
sayeth the Father, that I will cut off their horses out of
the midst of them and I will destroy their chariots. Their
highways will no longer be laden with spoil and I shall
remove from them their commerce. I shall cut off their
cities from the land, and the hungry shall throw down the
strongholds. 169. And I will cut off the wisdom of their
wise ones and their witchcraft will I expose to the eye.
Their subtle lyings, their deceit, and their soothsayers
shall I undo. Their pride I will also cut off, for all their
graven works shall be no help to them and shall disappear
from the midst of them. They shall no more worship the works
of their hands. 170. I will pluck up their meeting places
and their Churches, and their sacrifices; so shall I destroy
their cities. For lyings, deceivings, envyings, strifes,
priestcrafts and whoredoms shall be done away. Wherefore,
their cities shall be done away. 171. Yea, thus saith the
Father unto the Gentiles. In that day, the day of
tribulation of the Gentiles, shall the work of my Father
commence among the nations and my Father shall prepare the
Way for all the dispersed of all the World. They shall come
unto me and call on the Father in my name. Yea, then 62shall
the work commence with the Father among all the Worlds, in
preparing the Way whereby all His people may be gathered
home again to their place of beginning. And they shall
gather in from all creations, but not in multitudes, and not
driven or compelled. For I will go before them, saith the
Father, and I, even the Son shall be their rearward. 172.
Then did Jesus ask us the desire of our hearts and we did
with one accord declare our willingness to serve Him all the
days of our lives, and to flee unto Him never more to depart
from Him. And Jesus answered us, saying: 173. Blessed are ye
because ye have desired this thing of me. Therefore, when ye
have reached the end of your years, ye shall come unto me in
my kingdom, and with me ye shall find rest. Behold your
desire is good and will bring much fruit, but there are
three from among the twelve in the Land Southward who
desired of me that they should tarry until I come in my
glory. They shall never taste of death but shall be as my
beloved Apostle, even my beloved John. Ye shall see them and
they shall minister unto you and to all the world. And when
they come into the Land of Mentinah ye shall know them
because of my gospel which they shall teach and because of
the miracles that they perform in my name. 174. Now when He
had said these things He began to expound unto us all that
He had taught our kindred people in the Land Southward. Yea,
He did open the scriptures unto us and taught us what we
were to preach. And He showed unto us in vision the doings
of the Gentiles whom He would prosper and bring into the
land. And behold, we saw that they carried with them a book
which contained the gospel, but it was far sundered from its
own original and had been much changed. 175. And behold, He
showed unto us another book together with the first in the
hands of a prophet. And it came to pass that this prophet
did cause much restoration to come to pass in the gathering
and uniting of the Gentiles. But behold, the other book was
about the people of this promised land and it reminded the
Gentiles of the remnant of our posterity. And we saw that
this little book was great in spirit and was powerful in
convincing the Gentiles to come unto Christ. Yea, behold we
did rejoice exceedingly to know that the book did testify of
our kindred. 176. Then behold, we saw the Gentiles organize
and regulate the Church once again in this land and their
work did grow and prosper exceedingly. But they did also
grow and prosper in the things of the world. Yea, they did
become exceedingly rich and the more part of them did become
puffed up with pride, which thing was exceedingly heavy and
difficult for the humble and righteous among them to bear.
177. And behold, the Lord declared unto us that the coming
forth of the book had a two-fold purpose: that our people
would begin to be gathered into their 63inheritance because
of the book, and also the book will be a herald unto all the
world of the approaching culmination of His work upon this
planet and in the whole World. And our minds and hearts were
comforted and we were again filled with the Holy Ghost. 178.
And while He was yet with us He began to speak, saying: 179.
Behold, ye are my faithful flock and I shall reveal unto you
the very secrets of the Creation. And I shall endow you with
power in order that you might do a great work here in the
lands of the Nemenhah. For, I would that all people hear my
gospel, wherefore, I must give you power and the Holy Ghost
that my purposes shall be fulfilled. 180. For ye have seen
that I shall raise up a prophet unto the Gentiles and
because of him I shall gather in my children from out of all
the four quarters of the world. But his work shall be an
initiation of the restoration not a culmination. Yea, he
shall begin to lay the foundation of a great work and mine
elect shall begin to gather out of all of the nations of the
Earth. And many will move even to this holy land and they
shall prosper. Yea, even I shall prosper them exceedingly
and try them. 181. And they shall begin to keep many of my
statutes, but they shall change some and forget others. Yea,
I shall bring forth the stick of Joseph from among them and
they shall deliver it unto all the world. In this they shall
be blessed and shall be added unto the children of the
covenant. Yea, peace I shall bring them at the end of the
travail and I will prosper them, and try them. 182. But they
shall utterly fail in gathering in the remnant of your
posterity. I say as a people they shall forget my
commandment with regard to your posterity and shall even
participate in the enslavement and destruction of your
posterity and of the posterity of your kindred in the Land
Southward. 183. Wherefore, from among them I shall raise up
prophets who shall cry even against them and they shall cast
them out and persecute them. But out of their loins shall
spring blood mixed with your own, a prophet and seer, and he
shall bring to light the writings of the Nemenhah. Behold,
he shall receive of that great Gentile prophet, of whom I
have spoken, and shall be gathered in from out of the loins
of the Kings and Queens of the Earth. And he shall forsake
the world even to his hurt and shall prove the more faithful
because of tribulation. 184. Unto this prophet shall I
reveal the writings of your fathers, and even of your
posterity that he may also write it. And I shall command him
that he shall bring the book, even your writings, to light
and shall show it unto your posterity. Behold, I declare
unto you that your posterity shall come unto me and they
shall 64rise up when I shall subdue the nations in my name,
and they shall be a delightsome people and shall bring again
my Zion. 185. And behold, so that this record shall testify
of him, I shall reveal unto you somewhat about him, that
your seed may read these words and know my servant. 186. He
shall be raised up unto the world, yea, the Gentile world.
Yet shall he learn of me and, forsaking his own heritage,
covenant unto me. Then shall he declare also his other
heritage, even that of a people enslaved. And his name shall
be a vision and it shall treat upon every quarter of the
Earth and shall show forth great wisdom. Yea, and his name
shall rise up on heavenly wings and I shall visit him and he
shall see what was, and what is, and what will be. Yea, thus
shall he see a very far off and this shall be a great
advantage unto him when I subdue the nations. 187.
Therefore, my children, teach your posterity to watch for
this prophet, for his name shall be like that great chief of
his estranged people, yea, even the name of his fathers
before him. Wherefore, watch for him. But this is not all,
for his work shall move the nations out of their place and
in every city wherein he moveth, Zion shall be established.
188. But the Gentiles will rule the land for a season and
prosper and through them also will I do a great work. Yea, I
will begin to teach them and through them shall much be
restored and I shall establish them according to my
purposes. Wherefore, your descendents will dwindle in
unbelief and shall be subdued by the Gentiles. And this is
wisdom in me for your posterity shall be oppressed and
enslaved. 189. Yea, for many years they shall be as if
asleep, as a lion laying in wait for the prey. And when in
my own due time I shall deliver them the prey, then shall
they spring forth. Yea, they shall sleep no more but shall
shake off their long nurtured disguise and, putting on their
beautiful garment, they shall arise amidst the nations. But
were it not for their long captivity, they would not eagerly
desire a greater portion. Wherefore, I will test your
posterity with a sore testing. And after that they have been
thus tried and tested, I shall take them unto my own work
and with them I shall thrash the nations. 190. For when a
man planteth corn he first prepareth the ground. Yea, he
doth till it and he moundeth it up and dungeth it. And after
he hath prepared the earth, he planteth the seed; and
behold, it groweth and bringeth forth the ear. And before
the harvest, he draweth back the husk and he testeth the
kernels and counteth them. 191. Then, in due season, he
plucketh the ripe ears and bringeth them into the
storehouse. Yea, he doth not leave them for the birds or the
robbers, but bringeth 65in the ears to be shaken out. And
when he hath shaken out the corn he layeth it out to dry in
the sun, or he placeth it near unto the fire, that the water
thereof be dried. But the ears he shaketh not again but
delivereth them up to be eaten by the poor, for the kernels
left thereon are not good for planting again. Then, when the
drying is done, the corn is brought into the granary and the
harvest is over. 192. Even so is the work of a man and
should my work be any different? For I do prepare and I do
plant. And when the ear doth grow I test it. Yea, I do try
it and in due season, even in my due time I shall make my
harvest. And in due order shall all the ears be shaken and
done. This shall be the work of your descendents. For even
as the man doth call in his laborers and his bond servants
to pull the husks and shake the ears; yea, and even he doth
call in his women to spread the corn and stir it. Even so
shall I fulfill my work, even my strange work. 193.
Therefore, be diligent. Yea, be faithful. Fulfill all my
commandments and make strait my ways. And write your doings
unto your descendents and hide them up. Yea, do ye this
secret work unto futurity, for I will bring forth your works
in the day that I do cleanse mine house.
--------------------------------------------
Page 638 40. Behold, Nemenhah, you are an ensign unto the
world and an ensample. Shall the world ever say that the
Lord‟s purposes are too difficult for the children of men to
accomplish? Shall the world ever justify itself in
perverting the laws of God? Shall men ever justify a lesser
law because the people cannot live the greater? 41. Behold
all these things shall be in the mouths of men in latter
days, but the Nemenhah shall have laid a foundation for all
men. Such false prophets and wicked rulers shall lay the
account upon the people, but the fault thereof shall be
their own. Yea, the Lord shall cease to reveal anything unto
their prophets and generations shall pass in which He shall
hold His peace and give no instruction through them. But
behold, a time shall come when the people shall cast such
638rulers aside and turn again to their Lord and seek His
face. Behold, Nemenhah, the ensample that you make for them
shall assist them and shall edify them. 42. But even these
shall not make serious conquest of the world. Yea, I say
unto you, Even they unto whom the Lord shall have given the
commencement of the restoration of all things shall not walk
in sound principles and they shall lead the nation in false
doctrine. But mothers and fathers shall teach their children
in spite of all their shepherds shall demand. And here a
few, and there a few, shall the Lord build up again a Zion
in the land, but not out of the ashes of a fallen church.
43. Behold, He shall take away the stewardship and the keys
of His kingdom from among the Gentiles. And when they are
taken back, even according as He has promised unto your
ancestors, they shall not be given back unto them that did
pervert His ways. But He shall not withhold such things from
the children of men, nay, not even for a season. For, in the
very same generation in which He shall take up the
stewardship over His kingdom on earth from out of the
Gentiles, He shall also restore the Sons and Daughters of
Lehi and of Levi. It is unto these that your teachings shall
be an ensign. Yea, it is unto these that your musings shall
be instructive. 44. For they shall have been prepared by all
that the Lord did accomplish through the Gentiles. And even
there shall be some few from among the Gentiles who shall
continue to be His servants, and shall set aside the riches
and the enticements of the world to serve Him. They shall
not want of reward. Nay, behold, they shall be numbered in
among the children of Lehi by adoption. And all wherein the
Lord has blessed them shall also be a blessing unto they who
become the Sons and Daughters of Lehi and of Levi. But they
shall not pollute the way of the Lord with the filthiness of
men. 45. But the rulers of the people shall wallow in their
own judgment. Yea, they shall be drunken as with bad wine,
which is bought from the disreputable. Yea, the wine of
their sacrament shall have been thinned down with water of
the trough and it shall be unfit to drink. Thinned and
polluted shall be the cup that they take to their lips in
the name of the Lord and their sacrifice shall be
unprofitable. 46. And the goodness of the grain shall they
winnow out and there shall be no substance left in the
bread. They shall be fat with bread that shall have been
bought with the strength of the innocent. Yea, the bread of
their sacrament shall have no part in the covenant of the
Lord, but shall be a token of their bondage only and shall
be unfit to eat. Yet shall they hold it up unto the Lord and
say: 47. This is thy body, Lord. We eat it in remembrance of
our covenants with Thee. 639 48. Behold, they have sold the
profitable out of the grain before ever they held it up as a
sacrifice unto the Lord. 49. And shall He respect their
sacrifice? Shall He think of it in any better light than He
did the sacrifice of Cain? Is He become no discerner of the
hearts of men? Or does He know less the motives and
intentions of men now than He did when Cain and Able made
their first sacrifices? Nay, but there is one sacrifice in
the last days that He will accept and justify and that is
the fullness of a heart broken in pure sacrifice and the
fullness of a spirit made contrite in the blood of the Lamb
of God. 50. By the sweat of his brow does man break the
earth, and dung it, and plant the grain and care for it.
Then by that same sweat does he reap down the corn and
winnow it. And whole and wholesome as his own intention does
he labor to make the bread and bake it. This is the broken
heart, and anything else than this is not justified. Let the
sacrifice of bread be whole and not in parts. 51. Yea, by
the sweat of his brow shall man set in the earth the vine
and nurture it. And he is certain to ready the bees ere the
blossom is set and prepare them. And when the fruit is laid
on, does he not carefully judge the time to harvest? Yea,
and he does gather in with his strength the fruit of the
vine to the winepress and stamp it out with his feet. And
the sacrifice is pure wine, of his own make, and is not
purchased from afar off. 52. Take not up the polluted to
offer it a sacrifice unto the Lord. Take not up that which
is taught of men and make it up as doctrine and the will of
God. This is the sacrifice of bad intention. Such was the
sacrifice of Cain and the Lord accepted it not. Neither
shall He accept bad water and empty bread for your
sacraments. Let your oblations be of full heart and your
sacraments be of good intention and the Lord shall accept
it, as He did Abel‟s. And the Gentiles who are gathered into
the House of Israel shall be made new by the good sacrifice,
casting away that which is empty and taking up that which is
full of grace. 53. This is the thing which shall be taken up
by the Remnant of the House of Israel that shall be left in
this land in the last days. Behold, they shall not take up
that which the Gentiles have already polluted and wrest it
again. Nay, the hide beaten poorly by the Gentiles shall not
be softened and shall not be made respectable. Nor shall the
darkened and scorched linen of the Gentile be made white at
the hands of the Remnant. But they shall take up that which
was softened and whitened in times past and with it they
shall bring again Zion. 54. The field planted by the
Gentiles shall be filled with vice. Wherefore, shall the
Remnant take residence in such a field? Shall they, as
squatters, take of that which the Gentiles have made waste
and with it fatten the calf? Nay. But they shall harrow up
the ground anew and plant anew. For, the fertile earth shall
have 640lain fallow at the hands of absent stewards who knew
it not. And the Remnant shall plow it up once again and
plant it. And it shall once again bare the grain that shall
fatten the Remnant. 55. For the vineyard shall have lain
desolate in the sloth of the unprofitable servant. And when
the Lord of the vineyard shall take up the stewardship from
him and give it into the hands of another, then shall the
old vines be cast down and the new stock set and the rows
renewed. And shall he take of the diseased root to plant
again? I say unto you, Nay. But he shall find a good and
profitable strain out of a vineyard which is distant, and
this shall he use to restore the vine of the Lord‟s House.
56. Then shall the Lord of the Vineyard come in from His
journey and see the good steward and His profitable servant.
57. Do you see, then, how good and profitable your writings
shall be unto them that the Lord shall raise up in this land
in the latter day? Can you discern how they shall take up
your precept and your principle and carry it into the
vineyards of their intentions? Yea, they shall take the seed
laid up in store by you and plant it in the fallow earth and
it shall prosper. They shall take up the root preserved by
you and plant it in their hearts and Zion shall grow up
again in the land. 58. Wherefore, I do not praise you out of
reason. I observe your doing and foreknow the good that the
Lord shall do with it. Do but continue in it, Nemenhah, for
in this is your happiness now, but also out of your doings
shall the Remnant of the House of Israel set in order the
House of God and renew the stewardship. And in that day the
just shall receive their stewardship not by the dictate of
any man, but by the voice of the Lord and their surplus
shall they render up to the poor of their own and without
commandment. 59. Yea, they shall read of your works in days
far sundered from you. And some shall scorn them because
they did not flow unto them from out of the mouths of their
shepherds, whom they have justified. Behold, for no greater
sin than to have come from out of the dust and to be
delivered by one other than their own prophets, many shall
turn the heal from your words. 60. And again behold, many
shall spurn your works because they contradict that which
they hold by their own knowledge to be true. The writings
and record of your days shall come to them in a time when
their wise men shall declare that such things could never
have happened. 61. And yet, in the midst of this turmoil
over man‟s knowledge and the strength of the arm of the
flesh, some few will read them with pure intent. These are
they who will subject your records unto the Holy Ghost to
discern what portion of them shall be useful unto them in
their times. Behold, and it shall happen that, 641because of
the curious work of the Lord in the last days, these few
shall have flowing through them the blood of Lehi and they
shall be a remnant of the House of Israel, though they shall
also be of Gentile lineage. 62. This is the fullness of the
Gentiles and the fullness of the Jews. These shall not be
daunted by the ridicule of their neighbors. Nay, nor shall
they be swayed by the doctrines and sciences of men. Nor
even shall they be turned away by the heel of their
shepherds, who shall persecute them. But they, being firm in
the faith of their fathers, shall read your words and shall
subject them to the confirmation of the Holy Spirit of
Promise. 63. Then shall this record become an ensign unto
them. They shall take wisdom from it, and also they shall be
encouraged. For, with what they learn in the pages that
shall be translated by the gift and power of the Holy Ghost,
they shall come out of Babylon and take not up her unclean
thing anymore. They shall withstand the buffetings of the
world and the jeering of the rabble mob and they shall lift
up an emblem of peace and of charity to all the world. 64.
And the wisdom of the wise shall conspire against them. For,
the wise men shall have already determined by the
application of all their knowledge and science, that your
people could not have lived at all, let alone record your
doings on plates of metal. But this shall not sway the
Remnant left in the land in the last days. They shall
already know that man‟s knowledge is weak and his wisdom and
science is not steady. 65. And harshness and persecution
shall not return the faith of the people to the shepherds
who use it to extort such faithfulness. Nay, evil speaking
of the Lord‟s Anointed shall turn many from exploring your
doings, but not all. There shall be some who retain a
knowledge and a witness more sure than that which is
conveyed to them from the mouths of such shepherds. These
are they who shall remember to prove all things by the power
of the Holy Ghost. Yea, these are they who shall not be
separated from God, but shall exercise their right to the
wisdom and the mysteries of godliness. 66. And they shall be
Heirs with Christ in the Kingdom of God, for they shall not
deny the Holy Ghost, but shall seek His confirmation of all
things. These are they unto whom the Lord shall extend His
almighty hand once again and they shall walk in His dignity.
Yea, they shall see Him face to face, as their ancestors
did. Through them shall the Lord once again order His house
and theirs shall be the victory and the reward of heaven.
67. Yea, you may rejoice in your posterity in the last days,
for they shall again establish Zion in this land. They shall
do it in their hearts and they shall teach their children
the ways of the Lord in their homes. Then shall their
children combine together to do the Lord‟s work and none
shall separate them again. Yea, 642there shall be no
division in the House of the Lord when they shall cast off
the yoke of bondage and raise up a Zion again. Chapter
Fourteen 1. Now, I would not that you should be downcast
because that I have prophesied concerning your descendents
in the latter days, how that they shall again establish Zion
in the land. Yea, I do discern your hearts that you are cast
down because of my words. But do not let your hearts be
troubled over my words. 2. Behold, it is certain that the
Nemenhah shall not always live in the happy state in which
one may look upon you now. Yea, there shall be changes in
this land and, although I will tell you that the Nemenhah
shall dwindle and all but disappear from off the face of the
land, yet shall there be some few here and there that will
retain the memory of the doings of their ancestors and they
shall revere them. This reverence shall also help to bring
about a remembrance of them and of their doing. Yea, it
shall be this tiny remembrance that shall induce some few of
your descendents to look back again and seek to translate
your records. 3. But behold, were it not for that which
shall remain of your ways and your customs, even these would
find no inducement to look back upon the vistas of time to
do the great work to which they shall be called. Yea, each
of them shall hear of their ancestors and be in wonder of
the things they did, and they shall desire more
understanding. And the Lord shall lead them into that place
where they shall find the records you do so diligently keep
and they shall set their hands to the translation of them.
Behold, the things that you write, see how they shall excite
the minds and the hearts of them that seek the face of
Christ! 4. But behold, I would not that you should be
downhearted even at this time because that the Nemenhah
shall not always enjoy that freedom and happiness which you
do at this time. For there shall be many years yet in which
the Nemenhah shall prosper in the land and your decline
shall be slow. 5. But there shall come decline even among
the Nemenhah when the people cease to be one in that unity
with which the Lord does now bless you. And that unity shall
not be broken until the people forget the Lord and His ways
and cease to trouble the Spirit in all things. When they
shall have become hardened in their pride and lifted up,
then shall the Lord turn His face from even them, and they
shall dwindle. 6. And in the day that the Lord shall bring
the Gentiles into this land, there shall be but a few
villages of Nemenhah left in the land. In those days, the
Gentiles shall esteem all the inhabitants of the land the
same and they shall not 643take time to understand them.
Even the pure in heart shall be cast to and fro and trampled
by the will and the industry of the Gentiles. 7. And behold,
let not three generations pass by after the coming of the
Gentiles into the land and there will remain but a very
small remnant of the Sons and Daughters of Lehi to be
counted. Then shall they be tossed aside as dross and cast
down, and trod upon. Yea, their faces shall be ground in the
earth and they shall become the least of peoples. And this
shall be the state of the people unto the fourth and fifth
generation. But behold, out of them shall rise up a nation.
Yea, out of them shall the Lord re-order His church and
kingdom. 8. For, though they shall be tossed aside, yet
shall the Gentiles take them up even unto themselves
secretly and their blood shall be mingled. Then shall the
blood of Israel burn in the Gentile heart. Then shall the
fullness of the Gentiles come. Yea, the spirit of Nemenhah
shall cry out within them and their hearts shall swell with
a remembrance of things they never saw. Words and wisdom
shall rise up within them, words they never heard. And they
shall step forward to heal the earth, speaking words of
comfort and of peace in a land torn with discord. 9. And
when all the world is bent on using up the good of the
Earth, the Spirit of Nemenhah shall rise up in the hearts of
the Remnant and they shall turn from the world. Yea, they
shall bend the knee reverently and take up the earth in
their hands and kiss it. And they shall call the Earth after
our Mother in Heaven, and they shall care for it. 10.
Behold, your descendents shall come away from the cities and
the high towers that the Gentiles shall build up as a
monument to their own might and they shall bend their backs
again with the Earth and make of it a hallowed garden again.
They shall speak of her as a person and they shall revere
her as if she were their own grandmother. And this they
shall do figuratively, but this image shall shape the
characters of their children and prepare them to do a great
work among the children of men. 11. Yea, they shall also
turn once again to the Peacemaker to learn the Gospel, and
they shall be obedient to His teaching. And their sacrifices
shall be unto them a schoolmaster and they shall learn to
walk in the ways of the Lord once again, for He shall not
turn His face from they who do diligently seek Him. 12. And
their covenants that they make one with another shall once
again be durable, for the Lord and Sovereign of Heaven shall
bind them and the Holy Ghost shall seal them up. Yea, they
shall be once again the House and Kingdom of the Lord. They
shall not be puffed up in the pride of their hearts and
shall not turn in all directions to declare their own
worthiness. But the Lord shall call them worthy and He shall
bless them and prosper them. 64413. And they shall receive
again the stewardship of the Lord. Yea, He shall install
them once again over the vineyard and they shall be good
stewards unto Him, not being commanded in all things, nor
subject unto the bondage of any man. But willing and
fruitful servants unto the Lord they shall be and obedient
to His will. 14. Then shall they have all things once again
in common, for there shall be no poor among them. Yea, each
shall be the good steward of the Lord and they shall all
labor with their might for their own maintenance. But they
shall also labor day and night to provide for the needy. And
the beggar shall have no place to set up his stall, for he
shall be brought in and never allowed to put up his
petition. Yea, and thus shall be their villages and their
settlements. Behold, they shall all labor for the good of
each and every other, that there shall be no poor in the
House of the Lord. 15. And there shall be wars and rumors of
wars and the nation around them shall burn with the wrath of
the people one against each other. But behold, they among
your descendents who shall have been called up, the Remnant
of Israel, shall not suffer because of the strife that shall
prevail in the land. But being perceived as unprofitable by
their neighbors, the strife shall pass by them like the
whirlwind. 16. Yea, theirs shall be the only peace in the
land in many places and wherever they are established, their
neighbors shall wonder at them. Nevertheless, they shall
possess nothing that the rabble mob shall desire. They shall
be peculiar, but this shall not be enough to entice the
Gadiantonhem to molest them. And behold, because they shall
not be caught up in the getting and retaining of riches,
they shall have no part or party in the things that drive
their neighbors to violence one against another. 17. For it
is a peculiar thing when Zion is established that the curse
upon the land is taken away. And you are aware of the curse
that has been placed upon this land according to the word of
the Lord. Behold, part of this curse shall sorely vex the
Gentiles. For they do work diligently with their hands to
acquire great wealth. Yea, they do wear out their lives and
this motive shall become their entire purpose and they shall
set their eye singly unto it. 18. But, according to the
blessing and curse that has been laid upon this land, when
they seek to obtain riches, but not with their purpose set
on the glory of God, all that they lay aside shall become
slippery and they shall not be able to hold onto it. Yea,
and it shall be thus in this land, that when a man lays up
his riches, thinking that they will be safe until he returns
to them, he shall not find them. 64519. And behold, a thing
that shall be esteemed of great worth in one season shall
suddenly lose its worth and be good only to be cast aside.
Wherefore, men shall work all their lives to amass wealth,
but in the end, they shall find that all that they have
amassed shall have no value. 20. And when their riches lose
their worth, they shall become angry with their fellow man
and esteem all to be robbers of his wealth. This shall be a
thing that does drive many people to madness and there shall
be much sorrow and much destruction because of it. Yea, the
desire for riches and for costly things shall overcome the
desire of the love of God and the people shall move greedily
upon the face of the earth consuming all before them. And
when that which they esteemed of the greatest worth loses
its value, they shall be as maddened by their lack as by
their abundance. 21. But they who establish Zion in the
latter days shall not hold the things of the world in
greater esteem than they do their Lord. They shall want for
nothing, for their desires shall not be to amass riches but
to provide for their needs. And the surplus of their goods
they shall freely give unto the needy. 22. And where their
neighbors shall consume all things before them, your
descendents shall produce all the things they need. Behold,
I discern your wonder at my words and I see your confusion.
How can a people consume the earth and produce not for their
own needs? This seems impossible to you. But behold, I say
unto you and I forewarn you, There shall come a day in this
land when the people shall not labor with their hands and
provide for their own needs. But every one will labor for
riches and with these riches they shall buy up the things
they need from a very few who produce them. And all of their
substance shall go toward the purchase of the fruit and
labor of others, and very often, their fruit shall come from
afar to be consumed by the people. Because of this, all the
riches that they might amass must be spent in buying the
things that they need to sustain themselves from day to day.
23. And does this fill you with wonder? Behold, I tell you
that even they who live in this manner shall call themselves
blessed and they shall scorn and ridicule those who live not
as they do. Yea, they shall esteem as savage the life of he
who produces all the things that they must purchase with all
their wealth. Nay, do not stare! For such shall be the way
of things when your descendents shall turn away from the way
of the world and work to bring again the Zion of the Lord.
24. Wherefore, be glad in your hearts, Nemenhah, that you do
not live in such times. Be glad that you live in a time when
Zion does flourish in the land. And give thanks that the
earth does put forth abundantly of her bounty. For it shall
not always be so. Yea, there comes a time when even the
earth shall not give freely because of the wickedness of
men. And Zion shall be a rare thing in the earth. 646
Behold, they are perilous times in which the Remnant shall
begin again the work of the Lord.SECTION 12 A Revelation and Vision of the Indian Mission, given on 8-25-1846. 1. I, James J. Strang, was at Elizabeth, on the Monongahela River, on the twenty-fifth day of August, in the year one thousand eight hundred and forty-six, and had a vision; and lo, I beheld a land amidst wide waters, and covered with large timber, with a deep broad bay on one side of it. And I wandered over it upon little hills and among rich valleys, where the air was pure and serene, and the unfading foliage, with its fragrant shades, attracted me till I wandered to bright clear waters, scarcely ruffled by the breeze. And Indians in canoes glided about, and caught fish, and sat down to eat; and they gathered in assemblies, and were taught words of truth and ways of holiness, and they hearkened. And I beheld many wonders there. 2. And one came near unto me, and I said, What meaneth this? And he answered and said, Behold, here shall God establish his people, even the sons of Joseph, on an everlasting foundation; and from hence shall the gospel of the kingdom go unto the tribes, and they shall not any more be despised, for the nations that set the foot upon their necks will be cut off that they be no more a people. Behold, he hath already begun it. The sword is already bathed in blood, which spareth not their destroyers. And blood shall not cease till their most haughty oppressor is laid low to rise no more. 3. And he hath chosen this nation to begin vengeance for them. And if this people will turn unto him, and repent of all their evil deeds, and no more slay the prophets which he sendeth unto them, but will hearken unto them to do the things which they shall speak unto them, and keep the words of the Lord, and his commandments to do them, then will he exalt the nation and establish it, for he hath raised it up by the hands of wise men, whom he set up for that very purpose, to be the instrument of his purpose in the last days. 4. And upon this land where thou standest shall the gospel of the kingdom be established among the Lamanites, and from thence shall it go forth to their tribes. And blessing and honor and great glory shall be on those that teach them, for he will make their arm strong, and their bow shall abide in strength, and they shall not bow to the oppressor; and the power of the Gentile shall not be on them, for the arm of God shall be with them to support. 5. And here shall the Lamanites come to learn the law of the Lord their God, who hath preserved them, that they be not utterly destroyed. And other barbarians shall come also, and shall learn ways of holiness; for the Lord their God shall teach them, and his people shall instruct them, and shall go forth as ministers of truth unto all people. 6. And I asked him, What meaneth all this? And he said unto me, Thou art carried away in the spirit, and brought to this land in the midst of waters, in the north country, that the Lord might show thee what he will do hereafter. For here shall be a stake and a corner stone of Zion, for the strengthening of her curtains round about. Here shall the house of Manasseh and the house of Ephraim and the Gentiles build a house unto me, and bow down to me therein. For the sons of Jacob shall lay the foundations thereof, and therein shall they worship their God. And to this house shall the thousands of the house of Israel come, when the ice melts at the north. And there shall they meet their brethren in peace, and God shall be in the midst of them. 7. Behold, thou shalt see this land with thine own eyes before thou returnest to thine house, and shalt long to set thy foot upon it. Nevertheless, when the children of the household of faith have peace, then thou shalt go there and minister in the work of the Lord thy God. Spy it out, therefore, and let the servants of God dwell there to do his work, for it hath abundance in the riches of the forest, and in the riches of the earth, and in the riches of the waters; and there shall the children of God learn his law to do it. 8. And the Lord God shall add possessions unto the faithful, and give good gifts unto them that keep his law, and he will establish them therein forever. And their possession shall become as a paradise, yielding fruits every month, and the strength of Zion shall be there to do the work of the Lord, to work deliverance to the captive and judgments upon the ungodly, in the day of the Lord. For he will exalt his people in righteousness, and deliver them in judgments. And the Gentiles shall be made the instruments of his purposes, and by them will he work deliverance. The Lord will show thee all things in his time. 9. For the day is near when thou shalt meet many Lamanites, and shalt talk with them of these things. And with them shalt thou behold this land, and then shalt thou begin this work. If Satan hinder thee, strive against him, and thou shalt overcome and shalt prevail, for the Lord God hath spoken it. |
The Rise Of The Remnant
I myself have my own testimony of the rise of the
remnants in these days to come, through various dreams and
visions of the future. Such as the Stone about one who
escaped the traps of the big cities and found an oasis in
the desert leading to the protected areas of the remnant.
Also, the white 10,000 year old beast symbolic of a
white government to come which would break down the powers
of evil. The stories of yore are replete with futuristic
events about the rise of the remnants.*****
Phoenix Journal 50 Page 159: As in the old, so often in
later prophetic revelations, you hear of the "remnant" who
will survive the Chastisement and the Three Days' Darkness.
*****
Phoenix Journal 51 Page 63: You must remember that there are
those eight years and the adversary Elite need to have you
continue to function and have a way to continue to hide
Truth from you by the continued deceit. I remind you that
"they" will even help you for what you do makes them "look"
good and they need to "look" good for a while longer. It
simply is that you must see "through" the facade. Be
ecstatic that YOU see through because it allows you to act
in wisdom instead of with irrational reaction. Our purpose
is to get a remnant through intact and bring God's people
into safety and security--all other entities are just as
YOU--under their own free-will preferences. The show is
REALLY about to become incredible! *****
Phoenix Journal 52 Page 62: Us interfere? No we WILL NOT
INTERFERE. We have signed agreements and a treaty with the
Elite for we have no intent to counter--our thrust is simply
to "play through", inform the masses according to God's
promise of sending the WORD OF TRUTH, getting a remnant
through and reclaiming GOD'S PEOPLE. We are no actual threat
to any of the Elite for they are aware that they have done a
superb job of totally disabling you-the-masses......Page 91:
We of the Command will NOT interfere or intervene save to
get a remnant of our people through the activities......Page
131: I am here to contact MY people! When this is
"done" then we are "out of here" and you can go right on
with whatever terror games you choose......Page 157: I must
continually remind you readers--MY mission is to that which
I am doing-- bringing you Truth, revealment of the secrets
and cover-ups as best we can, and collect God's people when
the time sequence warrants it. In the ending the evil will
devour itself.******
My job, however, is to WAKE YOU UP--and we'll do whatever it
takes because the rest of our mission is to bring God's
people home and you are so soundly sleeping that you haven't
any idea what or where that "home" might be. First the
"two-by-four" for attention and THEN, perhaps you can hear
your instructions. -- PJ 53 -- page. 34 *****
We, the Hosts, are not sent here to SAVE anything from
ANYTHING. We are here to bring THE WORD as promised and
collect our people!--REMEMBER? (???) -- PJ 54 -- page. 57 PHILIPPINES SPOTLIGHTED
Phoenix Journal 50 Page 14: How many of you would believe
that the Philippines, as currently located, hold the keys of
transition and reformation as well as rebuilding of the
remnant upon the beautiful Creation Shan? There are other
portions in other places but central to the reclamation of
this cycle of life-stream of you as a civilization and
experience of God self upon that land-mass manifest--shall
come to balance and focus within the wondrous places rising
in the Sea of Peace, called Philippines. Ah yes, ye can take
the ministers and touters, missionaries and gurus into the
places of the Lions--BUT YOU CANNOT TAKE THE PLACES OF THE
LIONS AND BIRD TRIBES FROM THE HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE! *****
Phoenix Journal 50 Page 112: However, the 1986 Halley's
Comet visit didn't see a rebuilt Jerusalem--IN JERUSALEM,
did it? What could that mean? It can mean several
things--one, that the temple in point would be in the "New
Jerusalem" which is in the Philippines--not yet risen into
view. *****
Phoenix Journal 55 Page 73: Out of the Philippines will come
the hope and assistance to God's troops and therefore is the
reason for continued Pinatubo activity. God will prevail, it
simply takes a while to arrange the mechanism for transfer
and receiving. Clean your houses while you are able,
friends. |
