Admiral Christopher Columbus |
Zion, May 24, 2012
And I looked and beheld a man among the Gentiles, who was separated from
the seed of my brethren by the many waters; and I beheld the Spirit of God,
that it came down and wrought upon the man; and he went forth upon the many
waters, even unto the seed of my brethren, who were in the promised land.
(Book of Mormon | 1 Nephi 13:12)
Shalom,
Addressed to Mr. Othniel Seiden, and to all to whom it may
concern.
Please pardon my uninvited
and impromptu communication with you this day
My name is Miguel Angel
Tinoco Rodriguez; I am a servant in the hands of Jesus Christ.
Today
I have been researching for earlier than contemporary information about the
Sephardic or Judaic origins of the High Priest and Admiral Christopher Columbus:
and I found about your existence through your Semitic woks. I have not yet read
any of your works, but from some of the tittles, in faith, which is not a
perfect knowledge, I can perceive that you are a Jew. And also that you have a fascination or
inspiration to write about Hebraic roots and/ or history.
I
am a dedicated scribe who is commanded to write on a moment’s notice, inspired or
by the power and gift of the Holy Ghost, scripturally biased monographs that
connect or associate with contemporary living of this entire generation. And I
do it with intent to influence, persuade and invite all to come unto Christ. I
am not a learned or have any scholastic credential; as such, I acknowledge my
language deficiencies or weaknesses. Nor am I a talented writer like you are
sir. Nonetheless, I am of Jew and Native American stock or extraction among
others. I am also a very consecrated or religious individual who is partially
Jew and Ephrata or from the house of Joseph. And I have an unquenchable desire
and interest to discover the whereabouts and Diaspora lodgings of the lost
tribes of the house of Israel
since their outcast and dispersion so I can help lead them back home.
And
as a result for my love for all the Jews, regardless of tribe, I have thus far
discovered by miraculous ways plausible clues and even maps of pretty much
every settlement in which they have been ever since they were taken out of
Jerusalem ~720 BC and ~600 BC respectively.
I have this heavenly borrowed ability to see and discern things that
cannot be detected by the natural eye.
And
also as a result of these developed skills, I have lots of work to write about
until the kingdom comes. Most of my work
comes from interacting in dream and visions of those that have passed away.
Some of them are prominent men and women of history and others are simple lay individuals
that have a message or a story to convey to their relatives, ancestors or
contemporaries. I call these, encounters of the Fourth kind. I was afraid at first, but now it is a
current affair in my daily living. I do not evoke the dead nor am I a
necromancer for that mater. It all comes naturally as a blessing on the crown
of my head from deep below the dust that even now speak these words saying:
Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches
run over the wall: The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and
hated him:
But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong
by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the
stone of Israel:)
Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who
shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that
lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:
The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my
progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on
the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from
his brethren.
(Old Testament | Genesis 49:22
- 26)

Discovery of a New Continet |
The
reason I write to you is to tell you that a few years ago, to be exact on the
11th to the 12fh of October 2009
I had, during the visions of the night dream a particular encounter with
Christopher Columbus. I met him is his winter house, which was a dark shadowy yet
warm place full of books. Before I knew who he was, I figured that the man was
either a book salesman or a very educated or cultured person. And as soon as I
entered his house by invitation, I noticed it was warm; and I said in my heart because
of the abundance of books thereof that that place was my kind of place. No
words were exchanged between the man and I in the dream. We only crossed eyes
and nodded heads to each others as if we were communicating telepathically. I
just observed his medieval clothes and ferrous, yet somewhat pale facial
appearance or complexion. His hair was white, but scarce; so was his beard; and
he looked old and worried or very concerned.
Not long after I entered his house I knew I had to leave his presence; and
before I knew it I woke up without knowing who that man was or what it all
meant.
But
as soon as I got out of bed on that day, I noticed that it was the morning of
October 12th 2009. I went
into the internet as usual to check my email and noticed in the interned certain
news stories by and by; and I learned in some of them that it was the
anniversary of the discovery of the continent of America by the Admiral Christopher
Columbus. And some of those stories had very
negative comments about Columbus
which bothered my conscience when I read them as if I was Christopher Columbus;
or as if they were talking to someone that was dear or very familiar to me. And
by and by in those stories, I saw a picture or a pictorial resembling
Christopher Columbus and it was then
that I was as if Struck by lightning for I recognized the man in my dream from
last night or even very early on that same morning.
I
was then that I felt a very strong stupor of mind that aroused my feelings and
gave me an unquenchable urge to write. And so I begun to write all that came
into my mind and heart without editing as I am doing it now with you. And the
spell to write it lasted pretty much all day. So I wrote and I wrote in defense
of Christopher Columbus and other righteous and/ or holy men as to do justice
to them. It was as if somebody was whispering in my ear that I exerted no
action to think whatsoever. And this is why I say that I am a scribe and not a
writer, because it is not in me, but it comes to me by the power of the Holy Ghost.
And as I wrote, I compiled, copied and pasted vas scriptures from my electronic
libraries until I finished my work journey on that day. And when I finished
before night fall or sun set, I published my rough work as listed and linked
below:
PRAISE TO THE MAN WHO COMMUNED WITH JEHOVAH
|
Thh First Vision |
Now,
a living descendant of Columbus of name Brandon contacted me recently.
Maybe he read one of my many monographs or blogs that I often send out into the
world or by emails to people that I do not even know. And we talked for over an hour on the phone. As
I said, his name is Brandon, his parents were
born in Brazil
both from European and Puerto Rican extraction. And he said that his roots go
back to Juan/Bernardo and Luis Davila y Colon. They are the third great grand
sons of the Admiral. This I cannot confirm. However, we are time and again
getting close to the 520 years anniversary of the discovery of the continent of
America.
And it is an important date and year for
a great many of us who are Israelites living in this continent who are
partially or directly descendants to the natives or aborigenes of America. For I
perceive in my heart, that it is the year of deliverance of over five centuries
of gentile oppression upon the indigenous or native people so of these lands. I
am of the Idea and opinion, that we should make a proper homage, tribute or
honor of gratitude and of justice to the man who communed with the spirit of Jehovah,
and/or the instrument in the hands of God who that discovered these lands. There
are many ways to do this. And I am just reaching out for you to put a Deseret
or a working bee behind your ear as the dead have done unto me because of your
God given talent to tell tales or to write, such as the great prologue that
speaks about Columbus inspired mission.
THE GRETA PROLOGUE
“We
know that various explorers discovered America anciently, well before
Christopher Columbus. The Norsemen came over to what they called Vinland, as you remember, and there were others. It is
interesting to read about them, but, mark you, not one of them established
permanent colonies. God would not allow them here. Colonization was reserved
for the people whom the Lord himself would bring to this country. Even
though there were earlier discoveries of America,
none of them counted so far as God was concerned because he had his eye upon Columbus.
I
hope that when you read the Book of Mormon you will read carefully the last
chapter of first Nephi, which refers to the day in which we are living. In this
chapter Nephi talked about this land and the gentiles who in latter days would
be brought here. Then he said:
And
it meaneth that the time cometh that after all the house of Israel have been
scattered and confounded [the scattering of the ten tribes and
the Jews to all parts of the world], that
the Lord God will raise up a mighty nation among the Gentiles, yea, even upon
the face of this land [the
United States]; and by them
shall our seed be scattered. [Through
the Indian wars the Indians were scattered by the early Americans.]
And
after our seed is scattered the Lord God will proceed to do a marvelous work
among the Gentiles, which shall be of great worth unto our seed; wherefore, it
is likened unto their being nourished by the Gentiles and being carried in
their arms and upon their shoulders.
And
it shall also be of worth unto the Gentiles; and not only unto the Gentiles but
unto all the house of Israel, unto the making known of the covenants of the
Father of heaven unto Abraham, saying: In thy seed shall all the kindreds of
the earth be blessed. [1 Nephi 22:7–9]
What
does that language mean? It means that in the latter days upon this Western
Hemisphere a great nation of the gentiles would be established and that from
this nation of the gentiles the true restored gospel would be taken to all the
house of Israel
all over the world. The Savior said essentially the same thing, and I would
like to read just one verse that he said in regard to this subject. He also was
talking about the gentiles who would occupy this land in these latter days:
For
it is wisdom in the Father that they [the gentiles] should be established in
this land, and be set up as a free people by the power of the Father, that
these things [the gospel] might come forth from them
unto a remnant of your seed, that the covenant of the Father may be fulfilled
which he hath covenanted with his people, O house of Israel. [3 Nephi 21:4]
Here
is the Savior of the world talking to these Nephites in America after his
resurrection, telling them that in the latter days many gentiles would come to
this land and that the Lord God would establish a mighty nation among them here
in this land for one purpose: that these gentiles to whom the gospel would be
restored would take it to the rest of the world. Isn't this significant
scripture?”
The
above excerpt was taken from:
Columbus's
Inspired Mission in the BYU apostolic speech called The Great Prologue by MARK E. PETERSEN
Mr.
Othniel, you being a more able pen than I, with historical background and
celebrated noticeability; could perhaps reach a greater audience than I could
ever dream of with intent to do some justice to the admiral and some of his
benign associates and fellows. In your
work or research, you may have noticed the state of brutality and social
degeneration in which the natives of America
were found when Columbus
discovered these lands. And most importantly, despite subsequent bloodshed, carnage,
forced labor and payment in wealth and other natural resources, that there was social,
political, cultural and religious regeneration and congenital benefits that
eventually enriched the aboriginals.
And
my point is that, as with Joseph of Old under Egyptian rule saved his entire
family from perishing by famine. And the price that they had to pay for the
gift of genetic survival was some four hundred years of oppression and slavery
among other unknown things. SO have we, the inhabitants and rightful inheritors
of these Promised Land, lived nearly under 520 years of gentile oppression. And
that the day of deliverance is nigh at hand, even at the doors. In other words,
I am of both of the belief and knowledge that the aborigines of America, or
this great island of the sea as Isaiah once placed, and we are not the only one, are the seed of
Joseph though Ephraim and Manasseh. Even a multitude of nations in the midst of
the earth we are. And we are here one day, under divine schematics, to build
the New Jerusalem, the city of God as per his won words which he gave unto our
fathers which say:
And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's head,
who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands
wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn. And he blessed Joseph, and said,
God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me
all my life long unto this day.
The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name
be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; “and let
them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.”
(Old Testament | Genesis 48:14
- 16)

Christ in America
B.O.M. 3Nefi 11-30 |
And it shall come to pass that I will establish my people, O house of
Israel. And behold, this people will I establish in this land, unto the
fulfilling of the covenant which I made with your father Jacob; and it shall be
a New Jerusalem. And the powers of
heaven shall be in the midst of this people; yea, even I will be in the midst
of you.
Behold, I am he of whom Moses spake, saying: A prophet shall the Lord your
God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all
things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
And it shall come to pass that every soul who will not hear that prophet
shall be cut off from among the people. Verily I say unto you, yea, and all the
prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have
testified of me.
And behold, ye are the children of
the prophets; and ye are of the house of Israel; and ye are of the covenant
which the Father made with your fathers, saying unto Abraham: And in thy seed
shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed. The Father having raised me up
unto you first, and sent me to bless you in turning away every one of you from
his iniquities; and this because ye are the children of the covenant— And after
that ye were blessed then fulfilleth the Father the covenant which he made with
Abraham, saying: In thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be
blessed—unto the pouring out of the Holy Ghost through me upon the Gentiles,
which blessing upon the Gentiles shall make them mighty above all, unto the
scattering of my people, O house of Israel.
And they shall be a scourge unto the people of this land. Nevertheless, when they shall have received
the fulness of my gospel, then if they shall harden their hearts against me I
will return their iniquities upon their own heads, saith the Father.
(Book of Mormon | 3 Nephi 20:21
- 28)
AND now I, Moroni, proceed to finish my record concerning the destruction
of the people of whom I have been writing. For behold, they rejected all the
words of Ether; for he truly told them of all things, from the beginning of
man; and that after the waters had receded from off the face of this land it
became a choice land above all other lands, a chosen land of the Lord;
wherefore the Lord would have that all men should serve him who dwell upon the
face thereof; And that it was the place of the New Jerusalem, which should come
down out of heaven, and the holy sanctuary of the Lord.
Behold, Ether saw the days of Christ, and he spake concerning a New
Jerusalem upon this land. And he spake also concerning the house of Israel, and
the Jerusalem from whence Lehi should come—after it should be destroyed it
should be built up again, a holy city unto the Lord; wherefore, it could not be
a new Jerusalem for it had been in a time of old; but it should be built up
again, and become a holy city of the Lord; and it should be built unto the
house of Israel.
And that a New Jerusalem should be built up upon this land, unto the
remnant of the seed of Joseph, for which things there has been a type. For as
Joseph brought his father down into the land of Egypt, even so he died there;
wherefore, the Lord brought a remnant of the seed of Joseph out of the land of
Jerusalem, that he might be merciful unto the seed of Joseph that they should
perish not, even as he was merciful unto the father of Joseph that he should
perish not.
Wherefore, the remnant of the house of Joseph shall be built upon this
land; and it shall be a land of their inheritance; and they shall build up a
holy city unto the Lord, like unto the Jerusalem of old; and they shall no more
be confounded, until the end come when the earth shall pass away.
(Book of Mormon | Ether 13:1 -
8)
And
that the time is drawing near to build up Zion or the New Jerusalem upon these
northern lands, precisely near where you now live, Mr. Othniel, between the
great four original rivers that divide the fat valley of this land, where the
Garden of Eden was also once found.
My
linked monograph above will give you some insight or clues that what I am
talking about is not a fable or tale of my imagination or the imagination of
others. I am just a whisperer servicing
the voices out of the dust of the earth. My fathers, the ancient Israelites from the
tribe of Joseph; and the descendants of the last rightful king of Israel,
Zedekiah thru his son Mule or Malkiyahu, all who from the trine of Judah, who
were brought by the power of God from Jerusalem and lived upon these lands,
left many yet undeciphered records. One of those records is The Book of
Mormon, of which I have given to you some experts as word of the power of
my testimony. An electronic copy of
which is adjoined hereafter.
The Book of Mormon
Because
I have been given power from God to utter concerning them, even my fathers and
also those who were destroyed and were forgotten, so that the scriptures are
fulfilled which say:
WOE to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill
sacrifices. Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow:
and it shall be unto me as Ariel. And I will camp against thee round about, and
will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee.
And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy
speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that
hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of
the dust.
Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the
multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away: yea, it
shall be at an instant suddenly. Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts
with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and
the flame of devouring fire. And the multitude of all the nations that fight
against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that
distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision. It shall even be as when
an hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is
empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he
awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the
multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.
Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not
with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.For the LORD hath poured out
upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and
your rulers, the seers hath he covered.
(Old Testament | Isaiah 29:1 -
10)
Awake, my sons; put on the armor of righteousness. Shake off the chains with which ye are bound,
and come forth out of obscurity, and arise from the dust. Rebel no more against
your brother, whose views have been glorious, and who hath kept the
commandments from the time that we left Jerusalem; and who hath been an
instrument in the hands of God, in bringing us forth into the land of promise;
for were it not for him, we must have perished with hunger in the wilderness; nevertheless,
ye sought to take away his life; yea, and he hath suffered much sorrow because
of you.
(Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 1:23
- 24)
But behold, I prophesy unto you concerning the last days; concerning the
days when the Lord God shall bring these things forth unto the children of men.
After my seed and the seed of my brethren shall have dwindled in unbelief, and
shall have been smitten by the Gentiles; yea, after the Lord God shall have
camped against them round about, and shall have laid siege against them with a
mount, and raised forts against them; and after they shall have been brought
down low in the dust, even that they are not, yet the words of the righteous
shall be written, and the prayers of the faithful shall be heard, and all those
who have dwindled in unbelief shall not be forgotten.
For those who shall be destroyed shall speak unto them out of the ground,
and their speech shall be low out of the dust, and their voice shall be as one
that hath a familiar spirit; for the Lord God will give unto him power, that he
may whisper concerning them, even as it were out of the ground; and their
speech shall whisper out of the dust.
For thus saith the Lord God: They shall write the things which shall be
done among them, and they shall be written and sealed up in a book, and those
who have dwindled in unbelief shall not have them, for they seek to destroy the
things of God. Wherefore, as those who have been destroyed have been destroyed
speedily; and the multitude of their terrible ones shall be as chaff that
passeth away—yea, thus saith the Lord God: It shall be at an instant, suddenly—
And it shall come to pass, that those who have dwindled in unbelief shall be
smitten by the hand of the Gentiles.
And the Gentiles are lifted up in the pride of their eyes, and have
stumbled, because of the greatness of their stumbling block, that they have
built up many churches; nevertheless, they put down the power and miracles of
God, and preach up unto themselves their own wisdom and their own learning,
that they may get gain and grind upon the face of the poor.And there are many
churches built up which cause envyings, and strifes, and malice. And there are
also secret combinations, even as in times of old, according to the
combinations of the devil, for he is the founder of all these things; yea, the
founder of murder, and works of darkness; yea, and he leadeth them by the neck
with a flaxen cord, until he bindeth them with his strong cords forever. For
behold, my beloved brethren, I say unto you that the Lord God worketh not in
darkness.
(Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 26:14 - 23)
Now, I have written these things hoping you to read them and ponder
about them so you could be inspired in some way, as I have been inspired to
write about these very important things. And you may not know it yet, but the
gift to write that you have is from God and not from your own skill and from
men. If you follow thru, one day you will knot that you learned your first
lessons of you trade even before you were born and that as I was, perhaps you
also have been commissioned to write all that the LORD places in your mind an
din your heart. For of this it is also written:
BUT behold, there shall be many—at that day when I shall proceed to do a
marvelous work among them, that I may remember my covenants which I have made
unto the children of men, that I may set my hand again the second time to
recover my people, which are of the house of Israel; And also, that I may
remember the promises which I have made unto thee, Nephi, and also unto thy father,
that I would remember your seed; and that the words of your seed should proceed
forth out of my mouth unto your seed; and my words shall hiss forth unto the
ends of the earth, for a standard unto my people, which are of the house of
Israel;
And because my words shall hiss forth—many of the Gentiles shall say: A
Bible! A Bible! We have got a Bible, and there cannot be any
more Bible.
But thus saith the Lord God: O fools, they shall have a Bible; and it shall
proceed forth from the Jews, mine ancient covenant people. And what thank they the Jews for the Bible
which they receive from them? Yea, what
do the Gentiles mean? Do they remember
the travails, and the labors, and the pains of the Jews, and their diligence
unto me, in bringing forth salvation unto the Gentiles? O ye Gentiles, have ye
remembered the Jews, mine ancient covenant people? Nay; but ye have cursed them, and have hated
them, and have not sought to recover them.
But behold, I will return all these things upon your own heads; for I the
Lord have not forgotten my people.
Thou fool, that shall say: A Bible, we have got a Bible, and we need no
more Bible. Have ye obtained a Bible
save it were by the Jews? Know ye not that there are more nations than
one? Know ye not that I, the Lord your
God, have created all men, and that I remember those who are upon the isles of
the sea; and that I rule in the heavens above and in the earth beneath; and I
bring forth my word unto the children of men, yea, even upon all the nations of
the earth? Wherefore murmur ye, because that ye shall receive more of my
word? Know ye not that the testimony of
two nations is a witness unto you that I am God, that I remember one nation
like unto another? Wherefore, I speak
the same words unto one nation like unto another. And when the two nations shall run together
the testimony of the two nations shall run together also.
And I do this that I may prove unto many that I am the same yesterday,
today, and forever; and that I speak forth my words according to mine own
pleasure. And because that I have spoken
one word ye need not suppose that I cannot speak another; for my work is not
yet finished; neither shall it be until the end of man, neither from that time
henceforth and forever. Wherefore, because that ye have a Bible ye need not
suppose that it contains all my words; neither need ye suppose that I have not
caused more to be written.
For I command all men, both in the east and in the west, and in the north,
and in the south, and in the islands of the sea, that they shall write the
words which I speak unto them; for out of the books which shall be written I
will judge the world, every man according to their works, according to that
which is written. For behold, I shall speak unto the Jews and they shall write
it; and I shall also speak unto the Nephites and they shall write it; and I
shall also speak unto the other tribes of the house of Israel, which I have led
away, and they shall write it; and I shall also speak unto all nations of the
earth and they shall write it.
And it shall come to pass that the Jews shall have the words of the
Nephites, and the Nephites shall have the words of the Jews; and the Nephites
and the Jews shall have the words of the lost tribes of Israel; and the lost
tribes of Israel shall have the words of the Nephites and the Jews.And it shall
come to pass that my people, which are of the house of Israel, shall be
gathered home unto the lands of their possessions; and my word also shall be
gathered in one. And I will show unto
them that fight against my word and against my people, who are of the house of
Israel, that I am God, and that I covenanted with Abraham that I would remember
his seed forever.
(Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 29:1 - 14)
These
things I say not of myself but as the LORD has spoken he shall also fulfill and
I do this humbly and plainly as one having authority in the name of Jesus
Christ, amen.
Attentively
yours from a unworthy servant in the hands of Christ
