A fortress in time of storm

Cardston, Alberta Canada

December 14, 1933

Robert W. Smith, Esq. Salt Lake City, Utah

Dear Brother Smith:

I am pleased to answer your letter of December 1st-first as to the letter of a non-member who wrote of "impressions" received while going through the Temple before it was dedicated, the truth of which letter you ask me to verify and which I am pleased to do.

It was a Quaker lady who was a magazine writer from eastern Canada. She has some relatives in Lethbridge, about 60 miles from Cardston; and being so deeply impressed on her first visit, she had them bring her a second time -this time I was acting as guide. She would sit in each room and never said a word to any in the company, but seemed to be in deep meditation all the time.

When she reached her own home several weeks after, she wrote this letter which has caused so much comment all over the Church. We have never been able to understand how she seemed to know so much about our faith and our belief in our future life and works after death. I never learned her real name. She visited us along in 1921. I have never heard from her since that time, but the letter is genuine, and of her own "impressions!" received while in the Temple while on the two visits she mentions.

Sincerely your Brother,

0/S Elder J. Wood, Pres. Alberta Stake

This is her actual letter of her visions:

We have been to the Temple erected by your church wherein are to be performed the sacred rites in accordance with your faith. The first time I was strongly impelled to describe to you my impressions. I did so but before the completion of the letter, I received some news that so affected me that acting upon the spur of the moment, I destroyed the document in its entirety.

The continued feeling within me of dissatisfaction as to something left undone, coupled with the desire upon the part of the members of my household who had not visited the temple, led to our second visit to Cardston, in which you so kindly consented to accompany us, notwithstanding the inclement weather and personal inconvenience to yourself which the journey entailed.

It was because of this and many other evidences of your friendship that has given me the privilege to presume to bother you with what after all may be foolish fantacies of a too impressionable mentality. To me it does seem so, for never before in my life have such powerful impressions been infringed upon my inner consciousness as during my visit thru the Temple. Especially was this true at our second visit. The impressions of our first visit were repeated with such overwhelming intensity and variety of detail that I must positively inform you of my experience.

It seems to me it were a sacred duty upon my part to do this, and knowing as I do that your friends will lightly ridicule what to me is a personal matter, I am going to give you in detail my experience in the hope, that if it is well, maybe it is something more than imagination, that you and others of your faith may wisely analyze and correctly use whatever may be gleaned from this letter.

A fortress in time of storm, was the first thought that shaped itself in my mind with my first view of this ancient, yet modern temple; mellowed with the spiritual usage of ancient civilization and customs, yet alert, virile, and watchful.

A grand, solemn, strong, beautiful, useful house of spiritual progression which seemed to be the embodiment of architectural expression of ancient civilization and glories suddenly re-incarnated and for a future and higher civilization than our own. Strength and beauty exaggerated the more flimsy houses and buildings of the town and gave a painfully obvious example of how the soul within is expressed thru the material body, either in the individual or nation, or a race, either in the man or his architecture. Try how I would I could not get away from the feeling that the town itself was inferior to the latest building, so new and yet so old. Even the electric lights failed to change this thought, that the Temple and the town represented two different epochs of humanity’s spiritual development expressed in architecture. The town embodied the present epoch, science, art, invention harnessed purely for trade or commerce, irrespective of past or future development. The Temple embodies the accumulated knowledge of the ancient world combined with the modern inventions of science and inspiration as the road to a higher future development so near at hand. Let me put it down even another way.

There is a place called Cardston. A Temple linking the past with the present has been built at Cardston and the town has become a collection of flimsy huts nestling at the foot of the Temple which will continue to function for the spiritual purposes for which it is raised.

Just as the exterior impressions compared with the present and future epochs so did the interior also reflect comparison. Of the beautiful and artistic effects I need not dwell; abler pens can describe the interior from this viewpoint. Sufficient for me to say that the shape of the Temple is a cross, that each apartment is symbolical in artistic and structural effects of some stage of humanity's progress thru the ages. In fact, everything physical is a stepping stone to spiritual progress as such is typified in these ceremonies.

All this was kindly and intelligently explained to us by Mr. Duce on one occasion and by Mr. Wood on the second visit; but I am afraid I was very indifferent and inattentive upon both occasions, for which I tender them my sincere apologies. I had no intentions of being rude or discourteous, but from the moment of entering the Temple until leaving, I was placed in the position of having, as it were, to listen to and grasp a dual narrative all the time, with the result that so engrossed was I at times that I am afraid I was so absent-minded as to appear inattentive if not positively stupid.

I have stated that my impression of the exterior of the building was that of a place of waiting for a higher civilization than our present one. This would suggest a condition of emptiness, but that is not what I mean. An ordinary newly erected building has no atmosphere at all until it has been inhabited some time; after which, it has, as it were, a living atmosphere. What kind of an atmosphere this is, is largely determined by the spiritual development and thought of the persons using and inhabiting the building. This applies especially to places of worship or consecration, and is very noticeable to a sensitive person. Sometimes such an atmosphere is agreeable, exalting, etc.; sometimes very much the reverse, depending upon the spiritual harmony or otherwise of the persons under this atmospheric rule; but was not so as far as it was concerned while outside the Temple.

I could not understand the overwhelming scene of ancient atmosphere which the building actually possessed in its very granite blocks in spite of the fact that I know a few months previous these stones had been laid, yet the feeling of age predominated. I dismissed the feeling as well as I could by thinking that the place of the structure was responsible for the suggestion of age, but when I entered the Temple, how quickly I found there was nothing to suggest to me that present atmosphere of which I have spoken, but was it empty? Emphatically no! Time and again as I listened to the speaker explaining some phase of the building or its meaning, I would be seeing beyond him some illustration of kaleidoscopic nature, depicting what he was describing, only more completely and vividly. The characters were so plain to me that I required all my self control to keep silent from room to room. This continued and only ceased when we were out in the frost and snow once more.

There was no set plan for presenting these pictures to me. It seemed as if when I thought something mental, a picture instantly presented itself in explanation of some word of the conductor, which would have the same effect. I was not afraid, only awed by the wonder of it all and the fearful impressive feeling that I received which seemed to imbed every little detailed scene into my brain, from which it will ever remember and record; and vivid as all of it was, these incidents herein related are the ones upon which I received instructions.

The scenes which I observed of an historical character seemed chiefly to verify and amplify the speaker's outline of past history, and so I do not feel impressed to record such, except to state that the same patriarchal characters whom I observed directing and influencing the early movements of the Church, were the same down through every age and epoch, and as the scenes advanced to more modern times, I saw among these spiritual characters and counselors, persons whose features I had previously observed as being in the material body on other historical occasions.

It seemed as though the temple was filled with the actual spiritual bodies of these previous leaders of your church, each seeming to have the work that person was engaged in whilst in the flesh. In that temple I saw persons who were leaders of your church, during its march across the American desert now engaged in helping these higher patriarchs under whose orders they seemed to be working. It was these latter spiritual leaders, if I may use that term, who seemed to be instructed to show me the scenes here recorded.

I can give no time as to the happening, except that the impressions I received were of actual present or immediate future.

I saw first a brief but comprehensive sketch of the present state of the world, or as you would term it, the Gentile Kingdoms. Each country in turn was shown, its anarchy, hunger, ambitions, distrusts and warlike activities, etc., and in my mind was formed from some source the words, "As it is today with the Gentiles."

I saw international war again break out with its center upon the Pacific Ocean, but sweeping and encircling the whole globe.

I saw that the opposing forces were roughly divided by so-called Christianity on the one side, and by the so-called followers of Mohammed and Buddha on the other. I saw that the great driving power within these so-called Christian nations, was the Great Apostasy of Rome, in all its political, social and religious aspects. I saw the worldwide dislocation and devastation of production and slaughter of people occur more swiftly and upon a larger scale than ever before. I saw an antagonism begin to express itself from those so-cal1ed Christian nations against your people. I saw those with a similar faith to yours in the far east begin to look toward Palestine for safety.

I saw the international world war automatically break down, and national revolution occur in every country, and complete the work of chaos and desolation. I saw geological disturbances occur, which helped in this work as if it were intended to do so. I saw the Cardston Temple preserved from all of this geological upheaval. I saw the international boundary line disappear as these two governments broke up and dissolved into chaos. I saw race rioting upon the American continent on a vast scale.

I saw hunger and starvation in this world; I saw disease produced by hunger, strife and chaos complete the end of this present order or epoch. How long these events were in reaching this consummation I do not know, but my impression was from the outbreak of the international war these things developed into a continuous procession, and almost ran concurrently, as it is with a sickness, the various symptoms are all in evidence at one and the same time, but in different stages of development.

My intensified thought was "What of the Church," if such is to become of the Kingdoms of the earth? Was immediately answered by a subconscious statement. "As it is in the church today," and I saw these higher spiritual beings throughout the length and breadth of the air, marshalling their spiritual forces, and concentrating them upon the high officials of your church upon earth.

I saw the spiritual forces working upon those officers, impressing and moving them, influencing and warning them. I saw the spiritual forces begin to unfold these things into the minds of your elders and other high officials, especially during their spiritual devotions and official duties, and those activities which exalt the mind of the individual or groups. I saw the impressions take hold and inspire the more receptive and spiritual men, until it was all clearly revealed to them in the way the spiritual patriarch desired.

Again I seemed to hear the words, "As it will be." I saw the high officials in council, and under inspired guidance issue instructions to your people to re-consecrate their lives and energies to their faith, to voluntarily discipline themselves, by abstaining from all those forms of indulgence which weaken the body, sap the mentality and deaden the spirit, or waste the income.

I saw further on, instructions given whereby places of refuge were prepared quietly but efficiently by inspired elders. I saw Cardston and the surrounding foothills, especially north and west, for miles, being prepared as a refuge for your people quietly but quickly.

I saw elders still under divine guidance, counseling and encouraging the planting of every available acre of soil in this district, so that large supplies would be near the refuge. I saw the church property under cultivation of an intensified character, not for sale or profit, but for the use of the people. I saw artesian wells and other wells dug all over that territory so that when the open waters were polluted and poisoned that the people of the church and their cattle should be provided for.

I saw the fuel resources of the district develop in many places and vast piles of coal and timber stored for future use and building. I saw the territory carefully surveyed and mapped out, for the camping of a great body of the people of the church. I saw provision also made for a big influx of people who will not at first belong to the church, but who will gather in their tribulation.

I saw vast quantities of surgical appliances, medicines, disinfectants, etc., stored in the temple basement. I saw inspiration given the elders whereby the quantity, quality and kind of things to be stored were judged, which might not be attainable in this territory in time of chaos. I saw defensive preparations working out the organizations of the camps on maps.

I saw the mining corridors used as places of storage underground: I saw the hills surveyed and corrals built in sequestered places for cattle, sheep, etc., quietly and quickly. I saw the plans for the organization of the single men and their duties, the scouts, the guards, the nurses, the cooks, the messengers, the children, the herders, the temple guards, etc.. I saw these things going on practically unknown to the Gentile world, except the Great Apostasy, whose knowledge and hatred is far reaching, in this day of its temporary power. This was going on piece by piece as the Elders were instructed so to do.

I saw the other officials obeying the inspired instructions, carrying their message and exhorting the people to carry out, from time to time the revelation given them, whilst all around throughout the Gentile world the chaos developed in its varying stages, faction against faction, nation against nation, but all in open or secret hostility to your people and their faith. I saw your people draw closer and closer together, as this became more tense and as the spiritual forces warned them through the mouth of your elders and your other officers. I saw the spiritual forces influencing those members who had drifted away, to re-enter the fold. I saw a greater tithing than ever before. I saw vast quantities of necessaries supplied by members whose spiritual eyes had been opened. I saw a liquidation of properties and effects disposed of quietly but quickly by members of the church, as the spiritual influences directed them.

I saw the inspired call sent forth to all the church, to gather to the refuges of Zion. I saw the stream of your people quietly moving in the direction of their refuge. I saw your people moving more quickly and in larger numbers until all the stragglers were housed. I saw the wireless message flashed from Zion's refuge to Zion's refuge in their several places that all was well with them, and then the darkness of chaos closed around the boundaries of your people, and the last days of tribulation had begun.

THE TOLD AND THE UNTOLD HOLOCAUST STORY

THE TOLD HOLOCAUST STORY

http://news.yahoo.com/mormons-apologize-posthumous-jewish-baptism-190124456.html

In response to the above article:

Since when does a generation of vipers do have honor and are worthy of respect?

Oh this incredulous, wicked and perverse generation, how long do you think the Lord Suffer you? And I am both speaking to the unbelieving of the Jews and the so called Christians which do honor God with their lips but their heart is far away from him. Don’t you remember the LORD when he was crucified along with two malefactors that one went with him to paradise and the other one, where do you think he went? The other malefactor went to a spiritual prison as Peter the apostle called it. And that is the place where you will go unless you repent and come unto Christ in his restored church. For that that is where everyone except little children and those that would have had the chance to accept the gospel if it was presented unto them while alive, go unless they believe in Jesus Christ, repent, are baptized and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost by the lying of hands of those in authority.

And like it or not only the LDS church or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has that power and authority to do this labor of love. Therefore your own baptisms are worthless as a simple bath of water for your so called priests are usurpers of authority and never had it, nor where they called or commissioned unto this power. You not only get angry and hate those that preach repentance to you in this life, but you neither want the salvation of those that departed without knowing the truth. You are in the gall of bitterness and in that condition the devil will own you and remain with him in prison until the latter resurrection.

Don’t you remember that before resurrection the Lord went to preach the gospel to the dead? And also that before ascending into heaven to be presented to the father alive, the angel who escorted him was asked by the father if Jesus Christ preached the Gospel to the dead? Not only that, but this was a practice in the primitive church as recorded by Paul in the book of Corinthians when teaching some unbelieving Jews about the resurrection. For those did not believe in the resurrection, yet were conducting baptism for the dead.

Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead. For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

(New Testament 1 Peter 4:5 - 6)

Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?

(New Testament 1 Corinthians 15:29)

The work of redemption must continue even if the LORD has to crash the opposition and sent them to prison so that they believe, for unto him, every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is the Christ. Of this I solemnly testify with proper authority in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.

And the Father said: Repent ye, repent ye, and be baptized in the name of my Beloved Son. And also, the voice of the Son came unto me, saying: He that is baptized in my name, to him will the Father give the Holy Ghost, like unto me; wherefore, follow me, and do the things which ye have seen me do. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, I know that if ye shall follow the Son, with full purpose of heart, acting no hypocrisy and no deception before God, but with real intent, repenting of your sins, witnessing unto the Father that ye are willing to take upon you the name of Christ, by baptism—yea, by following your Lord and your Savior down into the water, according to his word, behold, then shall ye receive the Holy Ghost; yea, then cometh the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost; and then can ye speak with the tongue of angels, and shout praises unto the Holy One of Israel. But, behold, my beloved brethren, thus came the voice of the Son unto me, saying: After ye have repented of your sins, and witnessed unto the Father that ye are willing to keep my commandments, by the baptism of water, and have received the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost, and can speak with a new tongue, yea, even with the tongue of angels, and after this should deny me, it would have been better for you that ye had not known me.

(Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 31:11 - 14)

In all truth, in accordance to what it is written no apology or disciplinary action was necessary for doing the right thing. I am glad it was the Mormons and not the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints that disciplined the person who conducted this sacred vicarious work. It was his duty to God and to his fellow men both inside and outside the church. One cannot repent for doing what is right even if one is punished for it. In fact, the guy who performed this sacred ordinance became an instant hero as Oscar Schindler in my eyes, for saving many Jews from the Holocaust. And I want him or guys like this on my team. Anyway, whatever the church did to him, it was well worth it. I wish the guy who performed this vicarious work can do it again. As far as I know, vital records are public domain wherever they cab be found and or obtained.

The wicked who need to be rebuked are some of the unbelieving and apostate Jews and those of the synagogue of Satan who sell the record of their dead to the church for profit.

If someone in the Mormon church did suspend this person for doing what is right in the sight of God, it was without proper consent of the prophet of God and the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ. And if I am part of this church it was done without my consent. What will they do to me for that matter for doing the work of my friend Simei, who died as fuel to fire in a locomotor’s furnace during the Holocaust in Germany and who was in hell in a never-ending state of death and affliction, which I recorded as:

Simei

The Untold Holocaust Story

http://mythorscience.blogspot.com/2010/08/simei-untold-holocaust-story.html

 

As a matter of fact, I was in the spiritual prison last night and I saw there one young man like Simei getting ready to go out of prison if he continues to behave well. He kicked me out of no reason and I confronted him.

This work is true brethren; and it saves souls from hell, even when some of them kick us for trying to save them. We suffer greatly when we sin if we do not repent; and we also suffer for righteousness sake which is an easier yoke to carry. To suffer for sins is for men, I am a child of God, I’d rather suffer for what is right. Whatever pain, we receive for doing what is right is well worth it. For it is written:

“Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God; For, behold, the Lord your Redeemer suffered death in the flesh; wherefore he suffered the pain of all men, that all men might repent and come unto him. And he hath risen again from the dead, that he might bring all men unto him, on conditions of repentance. And how great is his joy in the soul that repenteth!

Wherefore, you are called to cry repentance unto this people. And if it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father! And now, if your joy will be great with one soul that you have brought unto me into the kingdom of my Father, how great will be your joy if you should bring many souls unto me! Behold, you have my gospel before you, and my rock, and my salvation.

Ask the Father in my name, in faith believing that you shall receive, and you shall have the Holy Ghost, which manifesteth all things which are expedient unto the children of men. And if you have not faith, hope, and charity, you can do nothing. Contend against no church, save it be the church of the devil.

Take upon you the name of Christ, and speak the truth in soberness. And as many as repent and are baptized in my name, which is Jesus Christ, and endure to the end, the same shall be saved.

Behold, Jesus Christ is the name which is given of the Father, and there is none other name given whereby man can be saved; Wherefore, all men must take upon them the name which is given of the Father, for in that name shall they be called at the last day; Wherefore, if they know not the name by which they are called, they cannot have place in the kingdom of my Father.

And now, behold, there are others who are called to declare my gospel, both unto Gentile and unto Jew; Yea, even twelve; and the Twelve shall be my disciples, and they shall take upon them my name; and the Twelve are they who shall desire to take upon them my name with full purpose of heart. And if they desire to take upon them my name with full purpose of heart, they are called to go into all the world to preach my gospel unto every creature. And they are they who are ordained of me to baptize in my name, according to that which is written; And you have that which is written before you; wherefore, you must perform it according to the words which are written.

And now I speak unto you, the Twelve—Behold, my grace is sufficient for you; you must walk uprightly before me and sin not. And, behold, you are they who are ordained of me to ordain priests and teachers; to declare my gospel, according to the power of the Holy Ghost which is in you, and according to the callings and gifts of God unto men; And I, Jesus Christ, your Lord and your God, have spoken it.

(Doctrine and Covenants Section 18:10 - 33)

As you see, the LORD does not excuse himself, neither do it. For the stone that the builders rejected has become the corner stone and whatsoever falls into this stone will be divided and onto whatsoever this stones falls will be grinded into powder. Verily, verily I say unto you that the LORD has spoken it saying:

For I am no respecter of persons, and will that all men shall know that the day speedily cometh; the hour is not yet, but is nigh at hand, when peace shall be taken from the earth, and the devil shall have power over his own dominion. And also the Lord shall have power over his saints, and shall reign in their midst, and shall come down in judgment upon Idumea, or the world. Search these commandments, for they are true and faithful, and the prophecies and promises which are in them shall all be fulfilled. What I the Lord have spoken, I have spoken, and I excuse not myself; and though the heavens and the earth pass away, my word shall not pass away, but shall all be fulfilled, whether by mine own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same. For behold, and lo, the Lord is God, and the Spirit beareth record, and the record is true, and the truth abideth forever and ever. Amen.

(Doctrine and Covenants Section 1:35 - 39)

Therefore, hearken and Lo, this is the voice as of one sent don from high, who is mighty and powerful, whose goings are unto the ends of the earth and whose voice is unto all men saying: Repent, ye Repent ye, for the Kingdom go heaven is nigh at hand, Repent ye Repent ye, and bring forth fruits meet for repentance by exercising faith for repentance in Jesus Christ, the only begotten son of the Living God. For he has commanded it saying:

Now this is the commandment: Repent, all ye ends of the earth, and come unto me and be baptized in my name, that ye may be sanctified by the reception of the Holy Ghost, that ye may stand spotless before me at the last day. Verily, verily, I say unto you, this is my gospel; and ye know the things that ye must do in my church; for the works which ye have seen me do that shall ye also do; for that which ye have seen me do even that shall ye do; Therefore, if ye do these things blessed are ye, for ye shall be lifted up at the last day.

(Book of Mormon 3 Nephi 27:20 - 22)

For the ax is already laid a the root of every tree; and every tree that does not bring forth good fruit shall be hewn down and cast onto the fire from whence no traveler returns. For thus has the LORD spoken it also by his servant the prophets saying:

Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise. Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do? And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you. And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages. And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not; John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.

(New Testament Luke 3:8 - 17)

And now I say unto you that this is the order after which I am called, yea, to preach unto my beloved brethren, yea, and every one that dwelleth in the land; yea, to preach unto all, both old and young, both bond and free; yea, I say unto you the aged, and also the middle aged, and the rising generation; yea, to cry unto them that they must repent and be born again.

Yea, thus saith the Spirit: Repent, all ye ends of the earth, for the kingdom of heaven is soon at hand; yea, the Son of God cometh in his glory, in his might, majesty, power, and dominion. Yea, my beloved brethren, I say unto you, that the Spirit saith: Behold the glory of the King of all the earth; and also the King of heaven shall very soon shine forth among all the children of men. And also the Spirit saith unto me, yea, crieth unto me with a mighty voice, saying: Go forth and say unto this people—Repent, for except ye repent ye can in nowise inherit the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, the Spirit saith: Behold, the ax is laid at the root of the tree; therefore every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit shall be hewn down and cast into the fire, yea, a fire which cannot be consumed, even an unquenchable fire. Behold, and remember, the Holy One hath spoken it.

And now my beloved brethren, I say unto you, can ye withstand these sayings; yea, can ye lay aside these things, and trample the Holy One under your feet; yea, can ye be puffed up in the pride of your hearts; yea, will ye still persist in the wearing of costly apparel and setting your hearts upon the vain things of the world, upon your riches? Yea, will ye persist in supposing that ye are better one than another; yea, will ye persist in the persecution of your brethren, who humble themselves and do walk after the holy order of God, wherewith they have been brought into this church, having been sanctified by the Holy Spirit, and they do bring forth works which are meet for repentance— Yea, and will you persist in turning your backs upon the poor, and the needy, and in withholding your substance from them?

And finally, all ye that will persist in your wickedness, I say unto you that these are they who shall be hewn down and cast into the fire except they speedily repent. And now I say unto you, all you that are desirous to follow the voice of the good shepherd, come ye out from the wicked, and be ye separate, and touch not their unclean things; and behold, their names shall be blotted out, that the names of the wicked shall not be numbered among the names of the righteous, that the word of God may be fulfilled, which saith: The names of the wicked shall not be mingled with the names of my people; For the names of the righteous shall be written in the book of life, and unto them will I grant an inheritance at my right hand. And now, my brethren, what have ye to say against this? I say unto you, if ye speak against it, it matters not, for the word of God must be fulfilled.

(Book of Mormon Alma 5:49 - 58)

You have been attentively, kindly and properly served the Gospel of Jesus Christ which is the power of God unto Salvation.

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people

VALENTINUS

Zion, February 12, 2012

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people

Revelation 18:4

Dear, Mrs. Hall and to all other to whom it may directly or indirectly concern,

But before I continue, I first desire to thank you Ms. Hall, for letting me know that Valentine Day Celebration is coming so I could be prepared to warn those I love and their relatives and friends of some the deadly dangers of these vain worldly celebrations.

With all due respect, this reply may sound totally out of line to you and many others who will read these words. I write to you all today a result of the world’s vague, vain and corrupt traditionalism which is leading a great many people to misery and destruction. 

As you may discern, the reason I write today in response to your message concerning the upcoming Valentine Day Celebration is first that I would like you to please excuse and totally exclude my daughter for this particular worldly and un-knowingly immoral tradition. and the reasons are as religiously as follows:

If teachers and school principals would do their homework and find out the true origin of these corruptible things and for what purpose these celebrations do exists, they would think twice about involving little kids in things of this kind But I also take this valued opportunity to explain why.

Please pardon the inadequacy of language, but know that I talk both by way of knowledge, by experience and by inspiration; or in this particular case, by constringent thoughts. Please be attentive to my words for I am a duly authorized servant in the hands of Christ, who is called of God and prepared with a holy calling and ordinance to write these things in simplicity. And I do it with much plainness and boldness regardless of personal peril which more often than not, results in mockery and rejection. Yet, I do get my inspiration from the prophetic words in the records of my ancient fathers, which scriptures are familiar to many and they do apply to this day and age saying:

“Yea, it grieveth my soul and causeth me to shrink with shame before the presence of my Maker, that I must testify unto you concerning the wickedness of your “hearts”. And also it grieveth me that I must use so much boldness of speech concerning you, before your wives and your children, many of whose feelings are exceedingly tender and chaste and delicate before God, which thing is pleasing unto God.

And it supposeth me that they have come up hither to hear the pleasing word of God, yea, the word which healeth the wounded soul.

Wherefore, it burdeneth my soul that I should be constrained, because of the strict commandment which I have received from God, to admonish you according to your crimes, to enlarge the wounds of those who are already wounded, instead of consoling and healing their wounds; and those who have not been wounded, instead of feasting upon the pleasing word of God have daggers placed to pierce their souls and wound their delicate minds.  

But, notwithstanding the greatness of the task, I must do according to the strict commands of God, and tell you concerning your wickedness and abominations, in the presence of the pure in heart, and the broken heart, and under the glance of the piercing eye of the Almighty God. Wherefore, I must tell you the truth according to the plainness of the word of God.

For behold, as I inquired of the Lord, thus came the word unto me, saying: Jacob, get thou up into the temple on the morrow, and declare the word which I shall give thee unto this people.”

(Book of Mormon Jacob 2:6-11)

And as a descendant of Jacob, these are the words I must tell you today. I do not know if you know it, but Valentine, originally was a Priest or the son of a priest who rebelled against the doctrines of Christ as taught by his original apostles in the primitive Christian Church. Valentine either the one I know or the one you may refer to, either way, was a very immoral man. And in the spirit of apostasy, due to his carnal, sensual and devilish or sinful nature, he wanted to change some things in the church to be in accord or harmony with the traditions of the world at large.  And he, Valentine, the one I know about, he devised in his craftiness a way to pervert the teachings of the apostles of Jesus Christ by introducing heresies or some form of hellenization  into the holy church. Which iniquity eventually corrupted the purity of the doctrine of God and eventually polluted the whole church of God. Eventusally, they broke the law and changed the everlasting covenant. They killed the prophets and the apostles, they persecuted the saints and finally took over what was left of the primitive Christian church. And made of the Church that once carried the name of God a great and abominable church and many harlots. And the scriptures so manifest it saying:

Isaiah 24:5

The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.

2 Thessalonians 2:3

 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

JST, 2 Thessalonians 2:9

 Yea, the Lord, even Jesus, whose coming is not until after there cometh a falling away, by the working of Satan with all power, and signs and lying wonders,

1 Nephi 13:7

And I also saw gold, and silver, and silks, and scarlets, and fine-twined linen, and all manner of precious clothing; and I saw many harlots.

Now, with the process of time, the people who once were enlightened  ended up in falling away or a total apostasy of the truth which brought about spiritual darkness, confusion division of the primitive saints of the church of Jesus Christ into many cults and sects. And most importantly, such pollutions brought about the death and misery of a great many souls who are still burning in hell. And also many more souls that ever since until today, do not know the truth because they do not know where to find it. For a better understanding of apostasy, please see

The great Prologue:

http://speeches.byu.edu/reader/reader.php?id=6083

For it is also written:

Mormon 8:31

Yea, it shall come in a day when there shall be great pollutionsupon the face of the earth; there shall be murders, and robbing, and lying, and deceivings, and whoredoms, and all manner of abominations; when there shall be many who will say, Do this, or do that, and it mattereth not, for the Lord will uphold such at the last day. But wo unto such, for they are in the gall of bitterness and in the bonds of iniquity.

Mormon 8:38

 O ye pollutions, ye hypocrites, ye teachers, who sell yourselves for that which will canker, why have ye polluted the holy church of God? Why are ye ashamed to take upon you the name of Christ? Why do ye not think that greater is the value of an endless happiness than that misery which never dies—because of the praise of the world?

Doctrine and Covenants 123:12

For there are many yet on the earth among all sects, parties, and denominations, who are blinded by the subtle craftiness of men, whereby they lie in wait to deceive, and who are only kept from the truth because they know not where to find it—

At first, celebrating these things, such as the Day of Satan Levitan, or St Valentine, appear innocuous or inoffensive for the common sense or especially when children are innocent or small. But later on in proves to be a snare to our feet, specially to the rising generation. For, most of these things or celebrations are the Claws of Satan disguised as a flaxen cords, by which the devil makes the virtuous and obedient souls of the children of men to fall and to be chained with eternal death and misery.

It is then, in these vain celebrations when kids get tired of exchanging candies, cards and flowers among other worthless presents, and they grow up both economically enslaved and/or institutionalized in these vague things. It is then, when they end up breaking the word of wisdom and more importantly the law of chastity which penalty or wage is death, both temporal and spiritual.

Romans 6:23

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

To make the story short, this is when people of all ages excluding little children end up in a fancy restaurants exchanging even more expensive or priceless gifts which apparently denote love when in effect all they do is to support shameful iniquity. Or, it is then, when they to try their first champagne en end up drunk in a motel filled up with all sorts of unimaginable consequences, because they practice what they see other people or even their own parents do.  The youth lose their most precious virtue by entertaining and indulging in fornication; and even married people get entangled by committing adultery or indulging into all sorts of immorality or licentiousness.

Now, if people just knew who Valentine truly was and what is the meaning of the image of a heart with an arrow stuck in the middle, as the world pictures hearts for these and other particular celebrations they would not even allow that abominable thing to be stamped in drapes, clothes or even dishes. I feel stupid and I am ashamed before my God to talk to you all about these things, especially in a day like today.   But I am also called with a holy calling as my fathers of old, to wake a great many people to their awful situation or their terrible reality.

And to give you but all a small but concise glimpse of what the heart and the arrow truly represent, please, just think or imagine a woman with a piece of chalk sitting without any clothes on a sidewalk and drawing the contour of her rear end or her breast for that matter. For that is what the heart really represent, the rear end of a woman or a human being. And the purpose of these things is to seduce and take away virtue of both men and women. And of the arrow in the middle stuck in the milled of the heart, I forbear to talk about. But it goes along the same lines. Or just imagine if you dare, what truly represent Washington’s monument on the forth of July when it gets dark and the gamma of luminescent fireworks explode disseminate all around it.

Some may laugh by me explaining these things in this context, but what they do not know is that even though we do not notice it or think about it, there are myriads of unclean spirits behinds the scenes which people cannot sense or see, but who are enjoying themselves with you and your children as people celebrate their ancient feasts. I myself have seen them. For those who invented these things were pagans, or people of corrupt minds, who worshipped the gods of immorality, and erected massive reproductive organs and sacrificed children and virgins to them, en they also did conduct their orgies and immoral acts in their bohemian groves.  And by partaking of their feast we partake of their sins, and when we partake of their sins we must also unavoidably partake of their plagues and the desolation that brought about their sudden and utter destruction.  This is why God continually says to his people thru his servants the prophets to come out from Babylon the great, which represents spiritual darkness saying.

Revelation 18:4

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not ofher plagues.

Revelation 18:8

Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

These things or abominations proceed from the institutes of Nimrod in ancient Babel, when they erected a great tower to contradict and mock God.  And ever since the tribes of the earth have been confused, scattered, afflicted and destroyed when they are fully rip in iniquity; and more particularly upon these lands where we now live. But what else could I say that myt fathers have not said, for my feelings today concur with their words which say:

But behold, my brethren, is it expedient that I should awake you to an awful reality of these things? Would I harrow up your souls if your minds were pure? Would I be plain unto you according to the plainness of the truth if ye were freed from sin? Behold, if ye were holy I would speak unto you of holiness; but as ye are not holy, and ye look upon me as a teacher, it must needs be expedient that I teach you the consequences of sin. Behold, my soul abhorreth sin, and my heart delighteth in righteousness; and I will praise the holy name of my God.

Book of Mormon, 2 Nephi 9:47-49

O, my beloved brethren, remember my words. Behold, I take off my garments, and I shake them before you; I pray the God of my salvation that he view me with his all-searching eye; wherefore, ye shall know at the last day, when all men shall be judged of their works, that the God of Israel did witness that I shook your iniquities from my soul, and that I stand with brightness before him, and am rid of your blood. O, my beloved brethren, turn away from your sins; shake off the chains of him that would bind you fast; come unto that God who is the rock of your salvation.

Prepare your souls for that glorious day when justice shall be administered unto the righteous, even the day of judgment, that ye may not shrink with awful fear; that ye may not remember your awful guilt in perfectness, and be constrained to exclaim: Holy, holy are thy judgments, O Lord God Almighty—but I know my guilt; I transgressed thy law, and my transgressions are mine; and the devil hath obtained me, that I am a prey to his awful misery.

Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 9:44-46

Now after saying all these things, hoping that I have not offended you with the truth, all that is left for me to is to admonish you exercise faith in Jesus Christ for he to bestow upon us the gift of repentance. For the kingdom has been once again and for the last time restored upon the face of the earth. And we have the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ to be preached to all nations kindred, tongues and people even unto the ends of the earth. And his kingdom is Called the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, which chapel is right in front of your elementary school.  Or you can find more information by visiting:

www.lds.org

I am not ashamed to preach the truth as those in the times of Old for, it is the work of God and not of man. Therefore, I invite all and each of you to investigate our teachings with real intent of heart, but most importantly, I invite you to come unto Christ and investigate the doctrines of salvation of Jesus Christ, which gospel is the power of God unto salvation. And whether you believe it or not, The Lord Jesus Christ has commissioned a great many of us in his church, which carries how own name and not the name of a man or thing, with power from on high to proclaim liberty. And he has particularly authorized his servants in these the latter-days to administer the everlasting gospel and its holy ordinances of Salvation both for the living and the death. And not only that, but the Holy Ghost is available to all.  For God so commanded even from the beginning of the world saying:

Now this is the commandment: Repent, all ye ends of the earth, and come unto me and be baptized in my name, that ye may be sanctified by the reception of the Holy Ghost, that ye may stand spotless before me at the last day. Verily, verily, I say unto you, this is my gospel; and ye know the things that ye must do in my church; for the works which ye have seen me do that shall ye also do; for that which ye have seen me do even that shall ye do; Therefore, if ye do these things blessed are ye, for ye shall be lifted up at the last day.

(Book of Mormon, 27:20-22)

Romans 1:16

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power ofGod unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Now my bretheren, these things I humbly say for both your temporal and eternal benefit if you will give heed unto these words and follow thru. And I do it with proper authority in the Holy name of Jesus Christ Amen.

Attentively Yours

This is an unworthy servant in the hands of Christ
