Enoch’s Solar Calendar – Month X?

(Times and Seasons series: Post #XVII)

Note: These calendar posts are my way of exploring Enoch’s solar calendar. I don’t know yet how to reconcile Enoch with present-day observations, but I plan to keep observing and studying. If these posts prompt others to greater observation and inquiry then so much the better. We learn by asking questions and observing, which we should probably be doing more of since much of God’s sign-language is forecast to occur in the Heavens according to His schedule and calendar. If there are mistakes herein they are undoubtedly mine, not Enoch's.

Background:
Signs, Seasons, Days, and Years: # II (Enoch)1
Pondering Enoch's Calendar?2
According to the Book of Enoch, the sun turns northward, now rising and setting back through East and West portal 1 for 30 days. My observation over the past months is that the sun's movement seems incremental and does not manifest a sudden jump to a new portal after a 30 or 31 days cycle. Month X follows Day 31 of Month IX (being the winter solstice, allegedly tomorrow, December 21), with the same light / dark division of 7L / 11D (out of 18 parts), but now incrementally increasing the light portion. According to Enoch, the first day of Month X always falls on Day One of the week (our Gregorian Sunday), thus a big reconciliation problem (at least still for me; haven't had time recently to study enough.)

Below is a PDF grid of what Month X (Ten) might look like if we looked to the Book of Enoch instead of Pope Gregory (assuming, of course, that Enoch hasn't suffered text corruption — and who knows for sure?!). Also, this Month Ten follows the same pattern layout as Months One, Four, and Seven. To see the full year, repeating grid, see here.3



For those interested in what has happened in scripture / history during Month X [Gregorian December / January], here is a list. And if there is parallelism or déjà vu in times, seasons, and prophecy, could any of these recitations of date have any relevance to these last days? — (the last week of Daniel's 70 weeks?)

Tenth Month (5 references):
5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen (Old Testament | Genesis 8:5).

1 AND it came to pass in the ninth year of his [Zedekiah's] reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about.
2 And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah (Old Testament | 2 Kings 25:1-2).

1 NOW the children of Israel after their number, to wit, the chief fathers and captains of thousands and hundreds, and their officers that served the king in any matter of the courses, which came in and went out month by month throughout all the months of the year, of every course were twenty and four thousand. ...
13 The tenth captain for the tenth month was Maharai the Netophathite, of the Zarhites: and in his course were twenty and four thousand (Old Testament | 1 Chronicles 27:1, 13).

16 And Ezra the priest, with certain chief of the fathers, after the house of their fathers, and all of them by their names, were separated, and sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter [concerning those who had taken strange wives] (Old Testament | Ezra 10:16).

16 So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign (Old Testament | Esther 2:16).

1 IN the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it (Old Testament | Jeremiah 39:1).

4 ¶ And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it, and built forts against it round about.
5 So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah (Old Testament | Jeremiah 52:4-5).

1 AGAIN in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day (Old Testament | Ezekiel 24:1-2).

1 IN the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt: (Old Testament | Ezekiel 29:1–2).

21 ¶ And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten (Old Testament | Ezekiel 33:21).

19 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace (Old Testament | Zechariah 8:19).

23 And it came to pass after they had thus suffered for many days, (and it was on the twelfth day, in the tenth month, in the tenth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi) that the chief judge over the land of Ammonihah and many of their teachers and their lawyers went in unto the prison where Alma and Amulek were bound with cords.
24 And the chief judge stood before them, and smote them again, and said unto them: If ye have the power of God deliver yourselves from these bands, and then we will believe that the Lord will destroy this people according to your words.
25 And it came to pass that they all went forth and smote them, saying the same words, even until the last; and when the last had spoken unto them the power of God was upon Alma and Amulek, and they rose and stood upon their feet.
26 And Alma cried, saying: How long shall we suffer these great afflictions, O Lord? O Lord, give us strength according to our faith which is in Christ, even unto deliverance. And they broke the cords with which they were bound; and when the people saw this, they began to flee, for the fear of destruction had come upon them.
27 And it came to pass that so great was their fear that they fell to the earth, and did not obtain the outer door of the prison; and the earth shook mightily, and the walls of the prison were rent in twain, so that they fell to the earth; and the chief judge, and the lawyers, and priests, and teachers, who smote upon Alma and Amulek, were slain by the fall thereof.
28 And Alma and Amulek came forth out of the prison, and they were not hurt; for the Lord had granted unto them power, according to their faith which was in Christ. And they straightway came forth out of the prison; and they were loosed from their bands; and the prison had fallen to the earth, and every soul within the walls thereof, save it were Alma and Amulek, was slain; and they straightway came forth into the city (Book of Mormon | Alma 14:23-28).

In Their Own Words? What Should WE Make of “Stealth Power”?

Since WE-the-People-of-the-Books,1 don’t seem to have garnered much from our own Books about the repeating pattern and agendas of corrupted power, perhaps we can learn from a recent publication titled “Stealth Power ...”.2 The author / editor, Peter Duke,3 took an anti-Semitic (fiction+fact?4) book, stripped out its racist, cultural elements to expose the pattern that under girds (in my opinion and study) every conspiracy-for-world-control, no matter the nation, kindred, tongue, time, or people. But before studying the universal pattern, let us consider why this pattern was wrapped in a heavy fog of Semitic attribution. This is my understanding / theory:
1. The pattern has a name: bondage — a name found nearly two hundred times in our Books.5 The pattern has an author: Satan, and a plan falsely crafted to “redeem all mankind, that one soul shall not be lost”:
1 AND I, the Lord God, spake unto Moses, saying: That Satan, whom thou hast commanded in the name of mine Only Begotten, is the same which was from the beginning, and he came before me, saying—Behold, here am I, send me, I will be thy son, and I will redeem all mankind, that one soul shall not be lost, and surely I will do it; wherefore give me thine honor.
2 But, behold, my Beloved Son, which was my Beloved and Chosen from the beginning, said unto me—Father, thy will be done, and the glory be thine forever.
3 Wherefore, because that Satan rebelled against me, and sought to destroy the agency of man, which I, the Lord God, had given him, and also, that I should give unto him mine own power; by the power of mine Only Begotten, I caused that he should be cast down;
4 And he became Satan, yea, even the devil, the father of all lies, to deceive and to blind men, and to lead them captive at his will, even as many as would not hearken unto my voice (Pearl of Great Price | Moses 4:1-4).
The plan, still unfolding, is to “destroy the agency of man” which means that where there is no agency, there is bondage, captivity, servitude, serfdom to an omnipotent figure, who claims to be devoted (in deluded theory) to peace, order, love, happiness, and good government.6

2. The wannabe-omnipotent figure Satan and his servitors are all psychopathic, misanthropic — but above even hatred of mankind, Satan hates, hates, hates Christ and those of the tribe of Christ, being tribe Judah, fourth son of Jacob / Israel. And YES, like every other tribe and people, there are Judahites amongst the numerous wicked of the world — just compare their kings with the “gentile” kings of history. Most of the power-elite worldwide (Jew and Gentile, past and present) are cut from the same cloth of the natural, self-serving, fallen man,7 but because of the lineage of Christ, tribe Judah has been especially targeted for enduring blame and destruction by the envious, bitter, vengeful god of this world.8
3. So (as Satan orchestrates) why not kill many birds with several strategic stones:
i) infiltrate the hated tribe with compliant corruptors and provocateurs who say they are Jews and are not9;
ii) concentrate and generalize all blame onto the entire hated tribe, even though many of that tribe reject and protest all forms of power-abuse10;
iii) satisfy the intense craving for braggadocio and mockery by revealing (with plausible deniability) the brilliance and stealth of the rejected “son” by fictionalizing his stealth;
iv) trigger [the satanic myth of] karmic shift11 when the deplorables worldwide do not see or hear what is plainly before their eyes and ears; and
v) provoke all sides to resist evil with evil. Divide and control. Divide, destroy, and control.
4. Humans, not obsessed with power, gain, glory and domination, often resist seeing the depth of evil to which power-fanatical, cult-prone men and women can descend; and even resist acknowledging the divided nature and potential for evil in their own being.12 Yet, at the same time, we humans are highly susceptible to propaganda, false flags, manufactured blame, confirmation bias, etc., etc. It’s all part of the natural man syndrome.
So what might we learn from Stealth Power? Duke profiles 24 principles that appear to be “in their own words” — not some exposé describing what the power-elite do, but statements in their own words of how they see themselves and what they have been and are doing to achieve global domination. Whether the original book began as a destructive lie or as a twining of fact and fiction for nefarious purposes, its bones stripped bare tell the story of every Global Order Gang (GOG13) since Cain who entered into a conspiracy with Satan for the sake of power, gain, glory, and domination.14

As Duke suggests, compare the 24 stealth principles to the history and headlines of the past two centuries from around the world and decide: 1) are these principles now in full play? 2) will I allow myself to see and hear? 3) what will I do to expose and resist them?

11. Karmic shift or dump: where those who perpetrate evil believe responsibility and consequence transfer to those who seeing, see not or hearing, hear not. “We told them. We showed them. They took no heed.” [Karma: “... Good intent and good deeds contribute to good karma and future happiness, while bad intent and bad deeds contribute to bad karma and future suffering.”] See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karma This blame-shifting is also a self-evident characteristic of those who create harm or chaos but will not accept responsibility for their actions and the consequences. They are always the victim and bad karma lies with their perceived offender.

14. Doctrine and Covenants | Section 84:16
   16 And from Enoch to Abel, who was slain by the conspiracy of his brother, who received the priesthood by the commandments of God, by the hand of his father Adam, who was the first man—
Book of Mormon | Ether 8:15-26
   15 And it came to pass that thus they did agree with Akish. And Akish did administer unto them the oaths which were given by them of old who also sought power, which had been handed down even from Cain, who was a murderer from the beginning.
   16 And they were kept up by the power of the devil to administer these oaths unto the people, to keep them in darkness, to help such as sought power to gain power, and to murder, and to plunder, and to lie, and to commit all manner of wickedness and whoredoms.
   17 And it was the daughter of Jared who put it into his heart to search up these things of old; and Jared put it into the heart of Akish; wherefore, Akish administered it unto his kindred and friends, leading them away by fair promises to do whatsoever thing he desired.
   18 And it came to pass that they formed a secret combination, even as they of old; which combination is most abominable and wicked above all, in the sight of God;
   19 For the Lord worketh not in secret combinations, neither doth he will that man should shed blood, but in all things hath forbidden it, from the beginning of man.
   20 And now I, Moroni, do not write the manner of their oaths and combinations, for it hath been made known unto me that they are had among all people, and they are had among the Lamanites.
   21 And they have caused the destruction of this people of whom I am now speaking, and also the destruction of the people of Nephi.
   22 And whatsoever nation shall uphold such secret combinations, to get power and gain, until they shall spread over the nation, behold, they shall be destroyed; for the Lord will not suffer that the blood of his saints, which shall be shed by them, shall always cry unto him from the ground for vengeance upon them and yet he avenge them not.
   23 Wherefore, O ye Gentiles, it is wisdom in God that these things should be shown unto you, that thereby ye may repent of your sins, and suffer not that these murderous combinations shall get above you, which are built up to get power and gain—and the work, yea, even the work of destruction come upon you, yea, even the sword of the justice of the Eternal God shall fall upon you, to your overthrow and destruction if ye shall suffer these things to be.
   24 Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this secret combination which shall be among you; or wo be unto it, because of the blood of them who have been slain; for they cry from the dust for vengeance upon it, and also upon those who built it up.
   25 For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries; and it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people, for it is built up by the devil, who is the father of all lies; even that same liar who beguiled our first parents, yea, even that same liar who hath caused man to commit murder from the beginning; who hath hardened the hearts of men that they have murdered the prophets, and stoned them, and cast them out from the beginning.
   26 Wherefore, I, Moroni, am commanded to write these things that evil may be done away, and that the time may come that Satan may have no power upon the hearts of the children of men, but that they may be persuaded to do good continually, that they may come unto the fountain of all righteousness and be saved.

Reconsidering Temple Cafeterias?

Further to the Déjà Vu II post of January 13, 2023, “Eating Together” — A Divine Paradigm?1 I am inviting participation in an appeal to the Temple Department to re-open / construct temple cafeterias. I realize that probably most kitchens have already been dismantled (in fact, in what seemed considerable haste) and that I should have sent this appeal months ago when first drafted in February, but I held off until now — until the inner pressure returned when I became aware that patrons (no matter how many sessions they might wish to attend during a day) are excluded from eating areas they once freely used. Patrons have no place now to eat even a sack lunch. Many of these daily patrons are elderly, often with health conditions like diabetes or compromised mobility and whose daily sense of purpose and worth is, in part, fulfilled in lengthy temple service. That patrons should be excluded from eating areas (tables / chairs) used by workers seems inexplicable and insensitive to their needs. Insensitive, also, to the considerable inconvenience related to clothing, inclement weather, parking, etc., when they must exit to find sustenance and then return. The option to leave and return is sometimes not available if they have been dropped off with pickup arranged for much later. Surely, we can find room and heart to reciprocate service for service.

Thus, if others wish to join in this appeal, I include below a pdf that can be used, adapted, or re-invented to send to members of the Temple and Family History Executive Council and to the Executive Director of the Temple Department, as far as I can ascertain them and their addresses.2 Their webpage https://www.familysearch.org/en/fieldops/apac-executive-leadership does not seem current when compared with these two webpages:
https://news-ph.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/how-to-prepare-for-the-2023-temple-and-family-history-leadership-broadcast
https://www.thechurchnews.com/leaders/2023/3/2/23618528/2023-temple-and-family-history-leadership-instruction-council-application
(all 3 accessed Dec. 2, 2023), so I am directing this appeal also to Camille N. Johnson, Relief Society General President; thus, being eight in total, mailed December 4, 2023.



If you know of other relevant parties, please copy them; perhaps even your local leaders: bishop, stake president, temple presidency, and area authority, if you feel so inclined. Is this not a matter to seek the  voice and feelings of the people — especially the voice of those who work and serve there?

We shouldn’t be afraid to speak up about things that we observe that appear unjust. Remember Zelophehad’s daughters and their appeal to Moses3? Remember too, a subsequent appeal to Moses by their uncles and cousins4?

I think God cares about this issue as do many workers and patrons. With the technology we have, ascertaining the voice and consent of the people (workers, patrons, and potential ones) should not be that difficult, if only we would speak up about things that seem insensitive or unjust. At the least, let patrons access eating areas as their needs dictate.

3. Old Testament | Numbers 26:33-34; 27:1-11
   33 ¶ And Zelophehad the son of Hepher had no sons, but daughters: and the names of the daughters of Zelophehad were Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
   34 These are the families of Manasseh, and those that were numbered of them, fifty and two thousand and seven hundred.
   1 THEN came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph: and these are the names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
   2 And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
   3 Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons.
   4 Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among the brethren of our father.
   5 And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
   6 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
   8 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.
   9 And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren.
   10 And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father's brethren.
   11 And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the LORD commanded Moses.
4. Old Testament | Numbers 36:1-12
   1 AND the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel:
   2 And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.
   3 And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
   4 And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.
   5 And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.
   6 This is the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.
   7 So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
   8 And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.
   9 Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance.
   10 Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:
   11 For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons:
   12 And they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.

Time to Board the ARC*?

ARC logo

(*Alliance for Responsible Citizenship)
“The ARC of the moral universe is long
but it bends toward justice”

Could ARC prove an essential antidote to WO and WEF?

We may not agree with everything said at the first ARC conference or with every person who was invited or named as ARC advocates or as members of the advisory board, but finally, we have a group who seems prepared to vigorously stand for Responsible Citizenship and to defend values that have stood the test of time. And time will tell whether this highly influential group will end up for the good or for the bad, but as more prophetic voices (both seeming and real) arise in the world, the need for discernment increases.

If ARC is a key puzzle piece to the end-times, let us pray its founders (Jordan B. Peterson & colleagues) can discern the Judases that inevitably attach themselves to or seek to infiltrate every Good.

Let us pay attention to ARC because in the end-time testing, our assumptions and biases about our own faith may need this Shakespearean reminder:
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

    - Hamlet (1.5.167-8), Hamlet to Horatio.
There were many worthy speeches presented at ARC, but here are Peterson’s opening and closing remarks. (Note: If Biblical Isaiah can go naked and barefoot for three years as a sign of things to come,1 perhaps JBP can feel motivated to wear a divided suit?)

1. Old Testament | Isaiah 20:2-4
   2 At the same time spake the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.
   3 And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia;
  4 So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

Enoch’s Solar Calendar – Month IX?

(Times and Seasons series: Post #XV)

Note: These calendar posts are my way of exploring Enoch’s solar calendar. I don’t know yet how to reconcile Enoch with present-day observations, but I plan to keep observing and studying. If these posts prompt others to greater observation and inquiry then so much the better. We learn by asking questions and observing, which we should probably be doing more of since much of God’s sign-language is forecast to occur in the Heavens according to His schedule and calendar. If there are mistakes herein they are undoubtedly mine, not Enoch's.

Background:
Signs, Seasons, Days, and Years: # II (Enoch)1
Pondering Enoch's Calendar?2
According to the Book of Enoch, the sun continues southward, now rising and setting through East and West portal 1 for 31 days. My observation over the past months is that the sun's movement seems incremental and does not manifest a sudden jump to a new portal after a 30 or 31 days cycle.

Allegedly, Month IX is the third calendar month (out of a yearly four) that has 31 days, with day 31 being the winter solstice, reportedly (Gregorian) December 21 for 2023. If the winter solstice is (Gregorian) December 21, then theoretically, the 31 days of Month IX end December 21, when the light / dark division, being 6L / 12D (out of 18 parts), begins to reverse at the shortest day of the year (December 21, 10:27 pm, Kirtland, Ohio?), according to Time and Date.3 Also, according to Enoch, the first day of Month IX always falls on Day Five of the week (our Gregorian Thursday). However, if each of Enoch's seasons has 91 days (30+30+31, ending with the equinoxes and solstices) and if my count is right and if the calculation of the Spring Equinox was right (March 20), today (Gregorian Saturday, November 18) marks the first day of Month Nine which will end 31 days later on December 18 (not the alleged Winter Solstice!). How to reconcile it all remains a mystery, to me at least. 

Below is a PDF grid of what Month IX (Nine) might look like if we looked to the Book of Enoch instead of Pope Gregory (assuming, of course, that Enoch hasn't suffered text corruption — and who knows for sure?!). Also, this Month Nine follows the same pattern layout as Months Three, Six, and Twelve. To see the full year, repeating grid, see here.4



For those interested in what has happened in scripture / history during Month IX [Gregorian November / December], here is a list. And if there is parallelism or déjà vu in times, seasons, and prophecy, could any of these recitations of date have any relevance to these last days? — (the last week of Daniel's 70 weeks?)

Ninth Month (7 references):

Note that in the Jeremiah references, Judah and Jerusalem were in dire crisis as false prophets had assured the people that they had been saved from Nebuchadnezzar's siege, only to have his army turn back to the siege after defeating Egypt's army at Carchemish. The result: the destruction of Jerusalem and Solomon's temple, and the final deportation of all but the poor, 587 BC.]
1 NOW the children of Israel after their number, to wit, the chief fathers and captains of thousands and hundreds, and their officers that served the king in any matter of the courses, which came in and went out month by month throughout all the months of the year, of every course were twenty and four thousand. ...
12 The ninth captain for the ninth month was Abiezer the Anetothite, of the Benjamites: and in his course were twenty and four thousand (Old Testament | 1 Chronicles 27:1, 12).

7 And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem;
8 And that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away.
9 ¶ Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain.
10 And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed, and have taken strange wives, to increase the trespass of Israel (Old Testament | Ezra 10:7-10).

8 And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of the LORD in the LORD's house.
9 And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the LORD to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem.
10 Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the LORD, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher court, at the entry of the new gate of the LORD's house, in the ears of all the people (Old Testament | Jeremiah 36:8-10).

21 So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll: and he took it out of Elishama the scribe's chamber. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes which stood beside the king.
22 Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him.
23 And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.
24 Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words.
25 Nevertheless Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll: but he would not hear them (Old Testament | Jeremiah 36:21-25).

10 ¶ In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,
11 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,
12 If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.
13 Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.
14 Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.
15 And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD:
16 Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty.
17 I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the LORD.
18 Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the LORD's temple was laid, consider it (Old Testament | Haggai 2:10-18).

1 AND it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, even in Chisleu;
2 When they had sent unto the house of God Sherezer and Regem-melech, and their men, to pray before the LORD,
3 And to speak unto the priests which were in the house of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?
4 ¶ Then came the word of the LORD of hosts unto me, saying,
5 Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even to me?
6 And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?
7 Should ye not hear the words which the LORD hath cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, when men inhabited the south and the plain? (Old Testament | Zechariah 7:1-7).

Another Voice Crying in the Wilderness

If one thinks one knows the rapper Tom MacDonald, his latest release “Superman” may prove as surprising to us as to his many fans and his few detractors. Like or dislike his work, he exposes in just over three minutes, the lamentation of our times for those who will see and hear:


Tom MacDonald - "Superman"
(Tom MacDonald | Nov 10, 2023 | Time 3:08 min.) at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm-HR6DfcYI
Judging by the many reactions to this release,1 MacDonald’s words rise above the manufactured divides that are fracturing the hope and promise that began 247 years ago – in 1776 North America; a hope and promise that has been under attack by the enemies of the good, the true, and the beautiful since before day one. But God, in His sign-language ways, has, over the millennia, used all sorts of prophetic characters (even if they don't know or understand it) to give warnings and messages to backsliding, torpid people.2 And from the news coming out of our LDS centerplace, the “boom” may be much closer than we imagine?

So, on this day – November 11 – when too many pretend to remember the horrors and sacrifices of war, let us listen to Tom and remember. Remember too: We dishonor every fallen or surviving soldier when we agree to live the lies that are the quicksands of Fwoke3 and domination ideology.

2. Remember especially, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and for our day:
   Doctrine and Covenants | Section 112:23-26
   23 Verily, verily, I say unto you, darkness covereth the earth, and gross darkness the minds of the people, and all flesh has become corrupt before my face.
   24 Behold, vengeance cometh speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth, a day of wrath, a day of burning, a day of desolation, of weeping, of mourning, and of lamentation; and as a whirlwind it shall come upon all the face of the earth, saith the Lord.
   25 And upon my house shall it begin, and from my house shall it go forth, saith the Lord;
   26 First among those among you, saith the Lord, who have professed to know my name and have not known me, and have blasphemed against me in the midst of my house, saith the Lord.

Power / Authority* Q & A?

Q: If “natural men”1 are so prone to choosing the way that leads to corruption and destruction as both scripture2 and history document (and as we are now witnessing on a global scale), why does God’s plan give them innumerable opportunities to advance in power and authority to the harm of others?

Q: Why do we frequently allow laws, governments, and authorities3 to become self-serving, corrupt, and abusive to the harm of ourselves and others?

Q: Why does God tolerate so much censorship and persecution by corrupted authorities of those who seek the narrow way? Why do we?

Perhaps the answer is more simple than we imagine if we asked more questions.

Q: If this earth-bound mortality is a probation4 as in
a period of time at the start of a new job when you are watched and tested to see if you are suitable for the job,5
      then what could the new job entail?

      Could it be love of God and neighbour? as in:
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets (New Testament | Matthew 22:36–40).
Q: But what if Love is not the job, but the gateway to the job? What if the prospective job is Power6? What if our probation here is to see if we can be trusted with Power? not just with the exercise of power in mortality, but with how we respond to abusive power that harms us or others?
17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire [burning of conscience?] on his head.
21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good (New Testament | Romans 12:17–21).
What better Plan than agency, time, and opportunity could there be to test for who can be advanced to eternal Power and who cannot?

So, how are we each doing with our individual power? in our families? relationships? jobs? positions? assignments? organizations? social circles? communications? influence? etc.

A: Perhaps honest self-reflection would tell us most of what we need to know about how our probation is presently going and whether we can be trusted hereafter.

Book of Mormon | Mosiah 3:19
   19 For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father.
2. New Testament | Matthew 7:13–14
   13 ¶ Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
   14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
3. Pearl of Great Price | Articles of Faith 1:12
   12 We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
4.   Book of Mormon | 1 Nephi 10:20 21
   20 Therefore remember, O man, for all thy doings thou shalt be brought into judgment.
   21 Wherefore, if ye have sought to do wickedly in the days of your probation, then ye are found unclean before the judgment–seat of God; and no unclean thing can dwell with God; wherefore, ye must be cast off forever.
Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 2:21
   21 And the days of the children of men were prolonged, according to the will of God, that they might repent while in the flesh; wherefore, their state became a state of probation, and their time was lengthened, according to the commandments which the Lord God gave unto the children of men.
Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 9:27-28
   27 But wo unto him that has the law given, yea, that has all the commandments of God, like unto us, and that transgresseth them, and that wasteth the days of his probation, for awful is his state!
   28 O that cunning plan of the evil one! O the vainness, and the frailties, and the foolishness of men! When they are learned they think they are wise, and they hearken not unto the counsel of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves, wherefore, their wisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not. And they shall perish.
Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 33:9
   9 I also have charity for the Gentiles. But behold, for none of these can I hope except they shall be reconciled unto Christ, and enter into the narrow gate, and walk in the strait path which leads to life, and continue in the path until the end of the day of probation.
Book of Mormon | Alma 12:24
   24 And we see that death comes upon mankind, yea, the death which has been spoken of by Amulek, which is the temporal death; nevertheless there was a space granted unto man in which he might repent; therefore this life became a probationary state; a time to prepare to meet God; a time to prepare for that endless state which has been spoken of by us, which is after the resurrection of the dead.
Book of Mormon | Alma 42:3-4, 10, 13
   3 Now, we see that the man had become as God, knowing good and evil; and lest he should put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat and live forever, the Lord God placed cherubim and the flaming sword, that he should not partake of the fruit—
   4 And thus we see, that there was a time granted unto man to repent, yea, a probationary time, a time to repent and serve God. ...
   10 Therefore, as they had become carnal, sensual, and devilish, by nature, this probationary state became a state for them to prepare; it became a preparatory state. ...
   13 Therefore, according to justice, the plan of redemption could not be brought about, only on conditions of repentance of men in this probationary state, yea, this preparatory state; for except it were for these conditions, mercy could not take effect except it should destroy the work of justice. Now the work of justice could not be destroyed; if so, God would cease to be God.
Book of Mormon | Helaman 13:38
   38 But behold, your days of probation are past; ye have procrastinated the day of your salvation until it is everlastingly too late, and your destruction is made sure; yea, for ye have sought all the days of your lives for that which ye could not obtain; and ye have sought for happiness in doing iniquity, which thing is contrary to the nature of that righteousness which is in our great and Eternal Head.
Book of Mormon | Mormon 9:28
   28 Be wise in the days of your probation; strip yourselves of all uncleanness; ask not, that ye may consume it on your lusts, but ask with a firmness unshaken, that ye will yield to no temptation, but that ye will serve the true and living God.
Doctrine and Covenants | Section 29:43-45
   43 And thus did I, the Lord God, appoint unto man the days of his probation—that by his natural death he might be raised in immortality unto eternal life, even as many as would believe;
   44 And they that believe not unto eternal damnation; for they cannot be redeemed from their spiritual fall, because they repent not;
   45 For they love darkness rather than light, and their deeds are evil, and they receive their wages of whom they list to obey.
