The plain and precious truths presented here are based upon a profound Near Death Experience, witnessed events, documented evidence, and ancient scriptures coming forth today in witness to the Bible that "Jesus is God, yea the Eternal Father" (Ether 3:14, Alma 11:23-40, Mosiah 15:1-5). Our website at www.bridgingtruth.com confirms the true identity of God as evidenced by the Torah, the Bible, and the original Book of Mormon (not promoted by any religion today). The original Book of Mormon is a simple history of a people's interaction (good and evil) with Jesus who IS God the Eternal Father. This is not confusing, it is very simple. However, the world has been deceived for 6,000 years regarding the true identity of God. "And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd" (John 10:16). During the Millennium the world will know the true identity of God through the 2nd Witness of the original Book of Mormon validated by carbon-dated ancient artifacts by the Smithsonian Institute (U.S. Natural Museum Director, Roger Kennedy).
The "other sheep" that Christ visited ("the Great White God") can be further confirmed by research on the “Hopewell Civilization” and the “Mound Dwellers" of the central and eastern areas of the United States. These ancient artifacts display depictions of Jewish symbols and Christ. The carbon dating of these ancient artifacts parallels the time line of the Book of Mormon. These ancient Americans prophetically knew about Christ (foretold birth and Crucifixion) before He visited them. Spiritually guided prior to the destruction of Jerusalem; these ancient people came to America ("the New Jerusalem" e.g. the Promised Land) NOT Central America as the LDS leaders and FARMS erroneously and pridefully maintain due to lack of inspiration or truth of God. Interestingly, the Book of Mormon warns the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) church of the need for many things to be restored (2 Nephi 3) within their condemned religion due to "hypocrites and liars" who will be the "apostles and prophets...and even Bishops" in the last days (D&C 64:38-40).
It is now time for the prophesied "plain and precious truths" to be restored to the altered Book of Mormon. This alteration changed the clear presentation of the identity of God (1st Nephi 13). The Masonic "learned men" altered specifically the first 40 pages of the Book of Mormon by inserting the title, "the Son of." This was only an honorary title given to Jesus Christ while incarnated on this earth as a man while His Spirit remained in Heaven as God the Eternal Father. This is what He meant when He taught us "I and my Father are ONE." The entire world will come to know the true identity of God during the Millennium. Clarity of the identity of God is easily understood with the unaltered scriptures found in Mosiah 15:1-5:
"I would that ye should understand that God himself shall come down among the children of men, and shall redeem his people. And because he dwelleth in flesh he shall be called the Son of God, and having subjected the flesh to the will of the Father, being the Father and the Son— The Father, because he was conceived by the power of God; and the Son, because of the flesh; thus becoming the Father and Son— And they are one God, yea, the very Eternal Father of heaven and of earth. And thus the flesh becoming subject to the Spirit, or the Son to the Father, being one God, suffereth temptation, and yieldeth not to the temptation, but suffereth himself to be mocked, and scourged, and cast out, and disowned by his people."
And Zeezrom said unto him: Thou sayest there is a true and living God?
And Amulek said: Yea, there is a true and living God.
Now Zeezrom said: Is there more than one God?
And he answered, No. (NOTE: This is contrary to what the condemned LDS church teaches)
Now Zeezrom said unto him again: How knowest thou these things?
And he said: An angel hath made them known unto me.
And Zeezrom said again: Who is he that shall come? Is it the Son of God?
And he said unto him, Yea…
…Now Zeezrom saith again unto him: Is the Son of God the very Eternal Father?
And Amulek said unto him: Yea, he is the very Eternal Father of heaven and of earth, and all things which in them are; he is the beginning and the end, the first and the last;
And he shall come into the world to redeem his people; and he shall take upon him the transgressions of those who believe on his name; and these are they that shall have eternal life, and salvation cometh to none else (Alma 23-40).
For further clarification on the true identity of God read Ether 3:14 and throughout the original Book of Mormon; see www.bridgingtruth.com for confirmation by the Bible and the Torah!

Why another record? Why is the traditional Bible not the only acceptable witness of Christ? This answer is due to religious leaders historically being uninspired and fallible as evidenced, in part, by their political suppression of women contrary to the teachings of God. The Bible has gone through 6,000 years of men's incorrect interpretations, mistranslations, and omissions during the years of Lucifer's influence. Lucifer’s identity, given within this website and obtained during a profound near Death Experience, explains why women have been suppressed.
The Bible was not compiled until the 4th century and then by men who desired orthodoxy rather than the true spiritual teachings of God. These religious leaders ignored “the presence of women disciples throughout Jesus’ ministry, at the crucifixion, (while male apostles hid; fearing man more than God) and as the first witnesses to the resurrection” (King 167, and Roman 16:1, 7, Luke 2:36, Acts 21:9, 1 Cor 11:15, 16:19, etc.).
These past (and present) self-righteous leaders hid (hide) behind a persuasive public façade and a controlled presentation of information and history to control the perception of the masses. “The winners write the history” is a true statement. Dogma shrouds the earth with myriads of conflicting beliefs even among those who believe in Jesus Christ. (A more in-depth discussion of the Bible will continue further on in this text)
Wisely, the Lord commanded that the ancient Americans who prophetically knew of Him also keep a record. These people were the "other sheep" that Jesus declared that He would go and teach after His Resurrection and subsequent teachings in Jerusalem (John 10:16). The inhabitants of America obeyed and kept a record of God's teachings. It was brought forth and translated by a foreordained individual who later sinned much like King David of old. Joseph Smith later repented and then was Masonically murdered. Why are most Mormons unaware of these documented facts? (see below for actual historic record of this). It is now time for the prophesied "plain and precious truths" to be restored to the altered Book of Mormon which changed the identity of God.
Most Mormons do not know that Joseph Smith REPENTED of "abominable" polygamy and satanic masonry with required “blood oaths” of loyalty to a church rather than to God prior to his Masonic murder! (2 Jacob 23-24, 2 Jacob 3, Moses 5:29).
Joseph Smith, the founder of the LDS religion, had been warned by God against doing “his own will and carnal desires, he must fall” (D&C 3:1-11). He later got involved in masonry (satanic blood oaths of secrecy) and polygamy, “an abomination unto the Lord” (Moses 5:29, Book: Jacob 2:23-24).
Unknown to most Mormons, Joseph Smith’s repentance is contained in a historical research book by award-winning historian D. Michael Quinn, “The Mormon Hierarchy: Origins of Power:”
June 10, 1844: “Hyrum (Joseph’s brother) tells Nauvoo City Council that the 1843 revelation pertains to ancient polygamy, not to modern times…” (It never pertained ~at any time!)
June 20, 1844: “Smith writes the apostles to return to Nauvoo immediately and.., instructs them to destroy their endowment undergarments.”
June 23, 1844: “…Joseph and Emma Smith burn the original manuscript of the 1843 polygamy revelation…” (Quinn 645-46).
As validated above, historically, Joseph Smith repented of "abominable" polygamy & "satanic" masonry just weeks prior to his Masonic assassination (Jacob 2:23-24, Moses 5:29).
D. Michael Quinn’s award-winning LDS historical research into the early years of the church found that Joseph Smith repented of polygamy weeks prior to his assassination by burning the original polygamy manuscript with his first wife Emma and telling the Quorum to burn their Masonic temple garments and to stop practicing polygamy.
Quinn's research also showed that women and blacks originally held the priesthood in the early years of purity (1830-37; seven good years and seven bad years; type & shadow of Joseph of Egypt's dream interpretation 2 Nephi 28) before the LDS church became corrupted with polygamy and masonry. The Lord is no respecter of gender, position, or power; all are equal unto the Lord (Quinn, "Mormon Hierarchy" pg 645 ¶ 6, ¶ 12, pg 646 ¶ 1).
Isaiah saw Salt Lake City as BABYLON
Isaiah 12-13 John 8:32; 10:16 (1 Nephi 13:34; 14:10-11)
Why? Leaders today approve polygamy (celestial sealings) through Masonic LDS Temple rituals which require an oath of loyalty and secrecy. Prior to 1990, members pantomimed slitting the throat, cutting out the heart, and disemboweling the intestines to emphasize the LDS temple blood oaths to keep the temple secrets and consecration of "time, talents, and all that you do possess" to the church (rather than God or country) or else "suffer your life to be taken" (quotes from LDS temple ceremony). Today, the blood oath is still required, but is "assumed" without acting out the Masonic blood oath penalties so ensure LDS members remain blindly obedient and asleep to the "follies and by all your abominations, which you do practice before me, saith the Lord" (D&C 124:47-48).
Jesus taught us to never take an oath; "But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation (John 5:12).
Help the "false prophets and apostles" e.g. leaders of the LDS church repent through example, get off the fence post, and declare truth! (D&C 64:37-40).
"For it shall come to pass that the inhabitants of Zion shall judge all things pertaining to Zion. And liars and hypocrites shall be proved by them, and they who are not apostles and prophets shall be known. And even the bishop, who is a judge, and his counselors, if they are not faithful in their stewardships shall be condemned..." (D&C 64:38-40).
Dogmatic religion under the control of uninspired men who falsely call themselves "Prophets" or "Apostles" or "Fathers" have been used historically to control the masses. For any church or religion to say; "pay us tithing and we will forgive you of your sins" or "Follow the Prophet/Bishop/Pastor and he will NEVER lead you astray" or "When the Prophet has spoken, the thinking has been done" violates your free agency and denies your responsibility to have a personal relationship with God.
An apostasy after the Restoration of the Gospel was foretold in 2 Nephi 3 with type and shadows as warned of in the book of Mosiah in the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon is a warning to ALL Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint (LDS) members of the corruption that will be within the LDS church in the last days. Note the "great and spacious buildings" of the LDS church including a 1.5 billion dollar shopping mall for "public image" and Masonic/Satanic Temples not of God who placed the church under condemnation (D&C 124:45-49).
Both "abominations" of polygamy and masonry are practiced in the LDS temples today: men can satanically be "sealed for all eternity" to more than one wife and everyone takes an oath of secrecy and loyalty to false prophet(s) and apostles above God or Country. The mime of the penalties for talking e.g. telling satanic secrets (slitting the throat, cutting out the heart, and disemboweling the intestines) was taken out in 1990 because members were waking up, but these penalites (satanic blood oaths) are still "assumed" today by foolish temple goers who do not know God or his plain and precious truths. God is not about "tokens, signs, and penalties" and other masonic rituals, nor would God ever require women to veil their faces (not worthy to "see" God?!?). God is about truth and full-disclosure NOT secrets and priestcraft. Everyone receives the power of God at baptism, it is that pure and simple. No elitism of levels or authority. Do you not recall the teachings of the Savior to say "yea, yea or nay, nay as anything more than this comes of evil"? (John).
The Blood oath common to all LDS Masonic Temples (and FreeMasonry) stems from the influence of Lucifer to Cain: "And Satan said unto Cain: "Swear unto me by thy throat, and if thous tell it thou shalt die...and this day I will deliver thy brother Abel unto thine hands" (Moses 5:29). or as quoted from the LDS temple ceremony "suffer your life to be taken..."
This is why we need to be pure as a child, willing to learn truths and then "blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God"! It is happening!!! But not to the prideful who do not know God!!!
The “Plain and Precious” Truths of the original Book of Mormon were removed by the “great and abominable church” e.g. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS)! (1 Nephi 1:13, etc.) Anyone can fall and where much is given MUCH is expected. Therefore, the LDS church is the most evil "mother of harlots" of the "great and abominable churches" mentioned in the Book of Mormon. (What are the other "great and abominable churches"? To qualify a church must have been given great truth of God and then denied those truths. Such as, the early Christian Church and later the Catholic church and finally, the LDS church. The early Christian church, specifically the Bishop of Alexandria, Athanasius, who wanted "orthodoxy" over truth and ordered all early Christian records BURNED that gave women equality as apostles or taught the spiritual teachings of Christ. These ordered-to-be-burned documents were hid up by inspired Egyptian Christian Monks and gave us the Nag Hammadi Scrolls and confirmed the Gospels of Mary, Phillip, and Thomas (Green, Pagels). The second corrupt church noted by the Prophet Lehi as referenced by "great and spacious buildings" was the powerful and controlling churches notorious for the Inquisition, the Bloody Crusades, the stocks, prisons, and torture of dissidents. The church of England and the Catholic church and many others qualify for some or all of these atrocities. The most abominable "mother of harlots" is, of course, the LDS church as explained more fully below.
In the Book of Mormon, the prophet Lehi and his son had confirming dreams and foretold the wickedness of the latter days. These prophetic dreams of warning for those who would be reading the Book of Mormon (LDS church members) contain specific warnings of several “great and abominable” churches! Today the Lord is concerned with the false doctrines of the LDS church e.g. polygamy, masonry, and altering the Book of the Lamb). The Book of Mormon is filled with warnings specifically intended for the "saints" of the LDS church. The "saints" are presently in the "great and spacious building" mocking the pure-hearted who hold to the word of God! (1 Nephi 8, 11, 12)
Please recall that ONLY the LORD appeared in the Kirkland Temple during the time of the church when it was PURE and NOT under condemnation for polygamy, masonry, and altering the BoM (D&C 124:48).
“because of the plain and most precious parts of the gospel of the Lamb which have been kept back by that abominable church (LDS)" (1 Nephi 13:32).
And the angel spake unto me, saying: These last records, which thou hast seen among the Gentiles, shall establish the truth of the first, which are of the twelve apostles of the Lamb (Bible), and shall make known the plain and precious things which have been taken away from them (e.g. Bible and Book of Mormon); and shall make known to all kindreds, tongues, and people, that the Lamb of God is the Eternal Father*, and the Savior of the world; and that all men must come unto him, or they cannot be saved (original Book of Mormon*; 1 Nephi 13:40).
At this site, you will find corruption exposed and divine truths revealed, such as:
* The true identity of God! Simply that Jesus incarnated as a man while His Spirit, the Eternal Father, was in Heaven. Thus Jesus was the “Father and the Son and He was One” as He said (see scriptural references above).
* We come to this earth with our intelligence, our “I AM,” and a soul. While we are separated from our spirit, our soul may connect with our spirit, while asleep or in deep meditation, for instance. "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" (Mark 8:36). This is why we do not usually have memories of Heaven or our past existence prior to this earth incarnation.
* Jesus visited His “other sheep” after His Resurrection (John 10:16, 3 Nephi: 17, 21)
* The ancient Americans knew prophetically of Christ; His Birth, and His Resurrection (3 Nephi 11:10).
* The Resurrected Christ “descended from the Heavens” in “power and great glory”. This fulfilled the Second Coming! (3 Nephi 11:8, 3 Nephi 17:24)
* We are now experiencing the Third Coming of Christ as a “Thief in the Night” to the pure in heart (2 Peter 3:10, D&C 45:19, D&C 106:4).
* Joseph Smith REPENTED of polygamy and masonry with required “blood oaths” prior to his Masonic murder! (2 Jacob 23-24, 2 Jacob 3, Moses 5:29).
Joseph Smith, the founder of the LDS religion, had been warned by God against doing “his own will and carnal desires, he must fall” (D&C 3:1-11). He later got involved in masonry (satanic blood oaths of secrecy) and polygamy, “an abomination unto the Lord” (Moses 5:29, Book: Jacob 2:23-24).
Unknown to most Mormons, Joseph Smith’s repentance is contained in a book by award-winning historian D. Michael Quinn, “The Mormon Hierarchy: Origins of Power:”
June 10, 1844: “Hyrum (Joseph’s brother) tells Nauvoo City Council that the 1843 revelation pertains to ancient polygamy, not to modern times…”
June 20, 1844: “Smith writes the apostles to return to Nauvoo immediately and.., instructs them to destroy their endowment undergarments.”
June 23, 1844: “…Joseph and Emma Smith burn the original manuscript of the 1843 polygamy revelation…” (Quinn 645-46).
* Women have been suppressed historically for 6,000 years due to men and the influence and identity of Lucifer (you will find this answer at our site stemming from NDE knowledge!)
* Mary Magdalene was married to Jesus OR else Jesus could NOT have been a Rabbi!
* First miracle was at the wedding feast in Cana of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. Why else was mother Mary the Hostess?
* Mary Magdalene was an Apostle, in fact, Magdalene is an honorary title meaning “Leader of the Flock.” She was of Bethany and her brother was Lazarus; raised from the dead by Jesus and materialistic minded Martha! (see Mary Magdalene pages for historical, authenticated early records).
* The Cleansing of the Lord’s House is prophesied. After the Restoration by Joseph Smith there would be another apostacy due to “follies and abominations which ye practice before me, saith the Lord” (polygamy, masonry, taking out precious truths from the BoM, D&C 64:38-40, D&C 112:24-26, D&C 124:47-48).
* "And there shall rise up ONE mighty among them, who shall do much good, both in word and in deed, being an instrument in the hands of God, with exceeding faith, to work mighty wonders...unto the bringing to pass much restoration..." (2 Nephi 24).
* We are now in the Millennium with a transition time for women to be recognized as equal to men. And a man and a woman are ONE unto God as in the Gnostic teachings (the earliest Christians; very soon after the teachings of Christ) where a woman and a man (husband and wife) were the Bishop with no counselors and no "boy's club" of elitism or secrets. And for the singles (men and women), how much easier to become pure in heart as a child and come to know God!
* We have hundreds of thousands learning of the original Book of Mormon and the "plain and precious truths" of God. This is the first step prior to the building of the cities of peace (see www.citiesofpeace.com). The funding will come from the Lord's treasures (D&C 104).
* No one has ever found the Ark of the Covenant or Solomon's treasures. Are these treasures reserved by God to come forth in this Millennium for the building of the Cities of Peace? During this NDE, the Cities were shown as well as the source of funding to begin in the Lord’s time dependent upon each individual and what we do to clean up the corruption and “shout from the rooftops” e.g. modern communication these divine truths.
* The Near Death Experience was profound and has already resulted in 160 producing oil wells out of 160 drills and ownership of the "Lord's Mountain of Gold." This was renamed the Bullfrog Mine after its foretold theft by Zion's Bank e.g. the "moneychangers" e.g. false Prophet and Apostles paid to be on the bank board ordered the theft (D&C 64:38-40 "And liars & hypocrites shall be proved by them and they who are not apostles and prophets shall be known. And even the bishop...shall be condemned").
* Church leaders justify theft of wealthy member's assets due to the idolatrous consecration of "time, talent, and all that you do possess to the building up of the kingdom of God." This consecration is satanic and not of God! Therefore the LDS church is condemned!
* In the war in heaven, most men followed Lucifer plan and most women followed God's plan. This is the reason for the 6,000 years of women's suppression by men and which women have allowed. Of course, women are equal to be pure church leaders and to hold the priesthood! (obtained by everyone at baptism)
* You will learn incredible pure truths which make sense which refutes corrupt teachings of false doctrines based on men’s interpretations for control & greed.
* The Lord is now in charge and His Spirit is causing a Spiritual Armageddon.
* The Millennium began “as a Thief in the Night” April 6, 2000.
The Lord visited His "other sheep" after His Resurrection just as He declared before ascending into the Heavens. The Resurrected Jesus then DESCENDED from the Heavens as prophesied - in the Americas! These people in the Americas KNEW prophetically of His birth ~ foretold by prophets ~ and they also knew of His SECOND COMING to them; "the other sheep" (The scriptures foretelling His Comings to this earth were and still are misinterpreted)
Jesus/God descended from the Heavens in Power and Great Glory fulfilling prophecy! This event was so profound that peace reigned in the Americas for 400 years. This is why hundreds of years later, the Native Americans expected "the Great White God" to come again. A record of the history of the Americas was kept by different people called of God on gold plates to be later translated by a pure-hearted individual; Joseph Smith, who was human and did, in fact, later commit many "abominable" sins (polygamy, masonry, altering the Book of Mormon at the 2nd printing altering the identity of God, and taking the priesthood AWAY from African Americans and women causing their suppression).
Joseph Smith sinned just as King David sinned even though they were both called of God due to their pure hearts. The Lord allows everyone free agency. The church leaders today are business men; "their mouths are so close but their hearts are so far away from God"... (any new revelations lately? No, just more "great and spacious buildings" e.g. LDS Masonic temples… And very boring meetings with no spiritual message other than status quo and pay your tithing...) Sadly, almost all leaders on this earth; political or religious are corrupt because of greed, ego, and desire for power and control they have over people. (Absolute power corrupts absolutely!) No man should ever be on a pedestal. When you speak the truth you do NOT speak ill of the Lord's anointed. The Lord does not recognize anyone based on “lineage” or because they call themselves "prophets and apostles." The leaders of the LDS church have never been spiritually anointed only called to their positions by "learned men" who are an enemy to God (D&C 121:29, 2 Nephi 9:28). As disclosed by a repentant high church leader, top positions as elite “money changers” are filled by financial success and loyalty rather than spirituality. The very top leaders are “paid” clergy and therefore “money changers” as follows:
According to CNN Money.com, the average director compensation in 2006 varied from $83,000 to $109,000 per year. According to research by LDS historian D. Michael Quinn, all of the apostles and prophets received payment for their multiple board directorships e.g. “money changers”. What actual witness of Christ has any of these apostles or prophets given? They have never spoken with God due to their impure hearts. The author of this website has seen Christ spiritually three times; twice with a witness present. This experience is available to all truth seekers with a pure heart. “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8, Jacob 3:1-3, D&C 97: 16, 21 warning revelation regarding evil within the church leaders given in 1833).
Why did the Lord call LDS leaders "money changers" during a profound NDE regarding the prophesied corruption of the Lord's "prophets and apostles" and "even bishops" that will lead "His" people astray? (D&C 64:24-26). Thomas S Monson whilst an Apostle of the church in 1984 served on the boards of these church owned/linked companies. He received substantial monetary compensation approximately $84,000 to $106,000 per year per board position according to industry statistics for average salaries paid for board member positions.

A Prophet CAN lead you astray! Those that believe the dogma of “Prophet” infallibility might have an authoritarian personality defect; someone that gives their free agency and responsibility to save themselves over to a church or government! How many times has the Lord warned the sheep about blind obedience to anyone?
What would happen to the church if it were to publically apologize for the evil practice of polygamy, masonry, and restore the plain and precious truths of the Book of Mormon? Answer: The members would be blessed by God spiritually after repentance and restitution especially by the leaders who have stolen from the wealthy members due to the idolatry temple consecration!
********
Incidentally, for all non-LDS; Mormon was a great leader of early American people (as depicted in the introduction of this site) who compiled all of the ancient American records and buried them in a hill side to be later brought forth as a second witness to the Bible that Jesus is God, the Eternal Father. A second witness was/is needed for the pure truth to come forth because of the alterations/omissions and politically-driven translations of the Bible, for instance, the "King James" version. Research early church history and recall the Crusades to recognize the historical corruption and you will recognize truthfully the historical, political actions of church leaders based upon greed, control, power and not divine inspiration. History was rewritten, for instance, regarding the "celibacy fable" of Christ (had to have been married or could NOT have been a rabbi) in the third century AD so that the growing wealth of the "Christian" church could retain its wealth without losing it to inheritance by children of clergy.
Millions have been taught to take the Bible literally as a “perfect” sacred book. The Bible is a collection of multi-translated writings regarding the teachings of God and is sacred in that sense. However, men have determined which of the early Christian and Judaic writings to include and which ones to omit. Even the order of presentation of these teachings was politically and academically contrived. Historically, many important writings were ordered to be burned to ensure the suppression of women and certain spiritual teachings of Christ so that orthodoxy and unity would prevail. Dr. Christoph Markschies, an author and expert in Christian history, estimates that “85% of early Christian literature” has been lost (King, 6). The divinely preserved Gospel of Mary, Thomas, and Phillip, etc. lost the theological hegemony battle but contain stern admonishments by Jesus against the suppression of women and the "hot headedness" and jealousy of Peter against the fearless apostle Mary Magdalene. While the male apostles were in hiding, she was there at the cross and at the tomb as witness of His Resurrection. She understood Jesus’ spiritual teachings and had visions and taught the male apostles. Jesus clearly taught that all may teach the truth when they teach by the Spirit (Galatians 3:28). He called women to be apostles, disciples, and spiritual leaders although men have rewritten this truth. Do we see women viewed as equals in our present day world of religious leaders? Sadly, the voice of God has been ignored and women are suppressed even today due to false teachings contained in the Bible (1 Cor 14:33-35, 1 Tim 2:11-14; understood only in historical contextual content). Jesus Christ, on the other hand, taught that women and men are equal unto him as stated in Galatians 3:28; "Yet we know that in the early centuries and throughout Christian history, women played prominent roles as apostles, teachers, preachers, and prophets" (King, 160, Exodus 15:20, Micah 6:4, Judges 4:4, 5:31, 2 Kings 22, Rom 16:1, 7, 1 Cor. 11:15, 16:19, etc.).
A logical reflection of the 4th century political compilation of the Bible is evidenced by a review of the Council of Nicaea which convened three hundred and twenty-five years after the death of Jesus Christ. Constantine ended the persecution of Christians as the emperor of the Roman Empire. Later, he needed the Christian leaders to unite in order to strengthen his reign. During this council, after much heated debate the 300 religious leaders in attendance failed to unanimously agree upon the correct identity of Jesus Christ as God in a human body. The compilation of the Bible was more or less achieved after this council by Eusebiuss with Athanasius, the Bishop of Alexandria demanding orthodoxy (Carrol, xii, King 5-7).
The pure teachings of the Original 1830 Book of Mormon (unaltered by man and NOT used by ANY religion) gives excellent examples to learn from and to facilitate the divine understanding of the SPIRITUAL teachings of Jesus Christ. This book was divinely translated from ancient plates of gold written in a reformed Hebrew/Egyptian language by ancient men of the Americas who were inspired by God.
A young boy, Joseph Smith prayed to God for answers and received revelations including a vision of where these plates were buried. After 4 years of repenting (he was VERY human) and finally coming to the preserved site with the correct person; Emma Hale Smith, a woman, the Angel Moroni allowed Joseph to take the plates. (Women have been suppressed historically NOT by God but by controlling men and themselves.)
With only a third grade education Joseph translated these plates by the will of God. Emma was given the opportunity to promote the equality of women by God. She was given the FULL priesthood (see historical research by Michael D. Quinn) and was asked by God to be Joseph's scribe and would have been privy to spiritual teachings and events equal to Joseph! She refused, (sinned by omission-setting back women's equality until this day) succumbing to the traditional conditioning of the suppression of women.
Later, as a prophet of God, Joseph got into his own ego by engaging in Masonic/Satanic Blood oaths; see Moses 5:29 below, he embellished the First Vision initially he had written that only ONE personage appeared; the Lord, and he altered the Book of Mormon and then, of course, he got into his carnal desires (polygamy to justify adultery) and fell as the Lord had warned him would happen if he did not repent. (D&C 3:1-9) (Scriptures proving his sins are given below) However, Joseph's judgment (fallen or repentant) is up to the Lord who knows his heart and loves him even as David of old is/was loved by the Lord. Why? Because, Joseph had a pure heart and so was called of God even if he made many mistakes.
From the Book of Mormon 2 Nephi Chapter 3 we can read how another Joseph, son of Lehi, was taught by his father prophetically about another Joseph (Smith) who would experience exactly what God had Joseph of old (in Egypt) experienced in another type & shadow of seven years of (spiritual) feast (4/6/1830-4/6/1837) and seven years of (spiritual) famine (4/7/1837-4/6/1844). Joseph Smith Jr. was on his "own" after April 6, 1844 and only "repentance" would protect him from his own actions. This is why his life was preserved by the Lord for 14 years as a "type and shadow" to the days of old. He was repenting from the seven lean (spiritual) years (polygamy, embellishments, Masonic blood oaths, Kingmen, priesthood for only the "elite" white males) when he was murdered by those who didn't want him to repent, both in and out of the church. Thus, it's not for man to judge Joseph Smith as a fallen prophet in the eyes of God even though he did fall many times (repentance is for all – even prophets "no matter their age or position"). He fulfilled the work of the Lord by bringing forth the Book of Mormon. He was leaving, for the Rocky Mountains, to learn more about his mission in life and how to correct his mistakes. Sadly, once again he feared man over God and this is why he died on June 27, 1844 without the protection of the Lord.
Joseph Smith approved the evil alteration of the second printing of the Book of Mormon in 1837 paid for by Parley P. Pratt. This was during the spiritual famine years of the rule of Joseph Smith as prophesied by the Lord to the Pharaoh, Lehi and Joseph (his son). These "dreams" came during the 3rd and 4th dispensations of time as a testament that the Lord God is in charge of all dispensations with "spokesmen" on this earth who have "dreams/visions" from the Lord. Joseph, along with and because of Masonic infiltrators corrupted the church as it still IS today - corrupted and under condemnation by God - to be judged by us. (D&C 124:47-48, D&C 64:40).
HOWEVER, this does not detract from the purity and simplistic sacred words contained in the Original Book of Mormon which prophetically restores the plain and precious truths for the Millennium that Jesus IS God, the Eternal Father! ALL TRUTHS ARE COMING FORTH FOR THIS DAY and the sins are being shouted from the rooftops (by the internet) with NO MORE secrets.
These authenticated ancient scriptures of truth coming forth for this day also include the Nag Hammadi Gospels which in turn verify the authenticity of the various separate records of the Gospel of Mary, which at the time of translation was found to include some of the same Gospels of the Nag Hammadi.
To acquaint you with the original source of the Nag Hammadi, a review of early Christian church history is necessary. In 367 C.E. the bishop of Alexandria was Athanasius, an early political church leader. He, unfortunately, made a decision that dramatically affected the path of the early church, the role of women, and the suppression of important spiritual teachings of Jesus Christ. Athanasius gave the orders to burn all Gospel writings except for those that had been sanitized or in other words “canonized” to maintain "orthodoxy" (Elaine Pagels).
Fortunately, the Spirit of the Lord prevailed touching the hearts of those that had received those orders. The courageous, pure-hearted Christian Egyptian Monks sequestered the Gospels marked for destruction in large sealed clay jars which were hidden in caves near the village of Nag Hammadi to be later brought forth when truth would not be stopped – today; by internet!
The sacred records that were ordered destroyed by early political "Christian" leaders contained the spiritual teachings of Jesus Christ regarding the “rock” of personal revelation of His “church” and warned against making rules and religious laws to control the people like the Sadduccess and Pharisees had done AND the true identity of Mary Magdalene and His true attitude of total support for the equality of women as religious leaders, in fact, for all women and men to preach the Gospel, “Good News” when touched by His Spirit.
No wonder, Athanasius and other political church leaders suppressed this knowledge. It is in fulfillment of prophecy that many corroborating authenticated records of early duplicated Christian writings have now come forth from various locations for this new dawn of Truth.
Another unfortunate suppression of knowledge by political men occurred with other ancient records. The Original Book of Mormon is an ancient record of the Lord's "other sheep" that He visited as He said He would after He had taught the Jews after His resurrection. He Ascended into the Heavens and DESCENDED from the Heavens in the Americas in power and Great Glory as prophesied!
“And it came to pass, as they understood they cast their eyes up again towards heaven; and Behold, they saw a Man descending out of heaven; and he was clothed in a white robe; and he came down and stood in the midst of them; and the eyes of the whole multitude were turned upon him, and they durst not open their mouths, even one to another, and wist not what it meant, for they thought it was an angel that had appeared unto them. And it came to pass that he stretched forth his hand and spake unto the people, saying: Behold, I am Jesus Christ, whom the prophets testified shall come into the world. And behold, I am the light and the life of the world; and I have drunk out of that bitter cup which the Father hath given me, and have glorified the Father in taking upon me the sins of the world, in the which I have suffered the will of the Father in all things from the beginning. And it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken these words the whole multitude fell to the earth; for they remembered that it had been prophesied among them that Christ should show himself unto them after his ascension into heaven. And it came to pass that the Lord spake unto them saying: Arise and come forth unto me, that ye may thrust your hands into my side, and also that ye may feel the prints of the nails in my hands and in my feet, that ye may know that I am the God of Israel, and the God of the whole earth, and have been slain for the sins of the world.” (Book of Mormon | 3 Nephi 11:8 - 14)
This preserved sacred record written by men (following the direction of God) of the Ancient Americas was divinely translated in 1830, but was then altered in 1837 by Masonic men who infiltrated the early Mormon Church. Brigham Young and Heber C Kimball who were 33rd degree Masons under the orders of British Masonic Leader, Albert Pyke, also founder of the evil KuKuxKlan. Heber C. Kimball in his Autobiography on page 11 declares before angels that he has always been true to his Masonic blood oaths. Masonry is a secret organization who worship Lucifer at the top levels! Joseph Smith was easily influenced because of his ego and carnal desires as the Lord had warned him:
“For although a man may have many revelations, and have power to do many mighty works, yet if he boasts in his own strength, and sets at naught the counsels of God, and follows after the dictates of his own will and carnal desires, he must fall and incur the vengeance of a just God upon him. Behold, you have been entrusted with these things, but how strict were your commandments; and remember also the promises which were made to you, if you did not transgress them. And behold, how oft you have transgressed the commandments and the laws of God, and have gone on in the persuasions of men. For, behold, you should not have feared man more than God. Although men set at naught the counsels of God, and despise his words—Yet you should have been faithful; and he would have extended his arm and supported you against all the fiery darts of the adversary; and he would have been with you in every time of trouble. Behold, thou art Joseph, and thou wast chosen to do the work of the Lord, but because of transgression, if thou art not aware thou wilt fall.” Note: Joseph Smith as the Lord had warned did fall (judge not, for only God knows Joseph's heart and the timing of all things), but he did translate the Book of Mormon by Divine inspiration before he faltered. (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 3:4 - 9)
It is not our intent to "throw the baby out with the bath water" but to restore the truth of the identity of Jesus Christ as God. The truth of the First Vision of Joseph Smith needs to be restored, as well, to the original version which Joseph Smith wrote with his own hand declaring that the Lord appeared to him; ONE personage not two as the later embellished versions stated. Joseph Smith also originally gave the priesthood to WOMEN and to African Americans.
It is the purity of the heart that the Lord IS concerned with NOT the color of the skin-please know the pure intent is "purity of the heart" wherever "whiteness" is mentioned in the Book of Mormon. The Lord has had to make use of those of pure hearts to record His message who ALL have WEAKNESSES in traditional programmed thinking, personality, language skills or whatever; WAITING for this DAY for pure truth to come forth. Even I've had to go back to change typo's, better ways of expression, etc. I do my best and that is what the Lord requires NOT perfection! (letter of the law-Arronic/Luciferic level of living like the Saducees & Pharisees and controlling religions of today!) The famous admonision of "Be Ye Therefore Perfect" should be "Be Ye Therefore PURE of Heart" Another mistranlation and embellishment by men to control. Does the Lord stress us out or do the controllers? Did the Lord say those that are perfect would see him or those that are pure in heart? Now back to our teaching...
These Masonic “learned men” (prophetic warning in the Book of Mormon) changed the identity of God by altering the Original 1830 Book of Mormon and using later embellished versions written by others instead of using the original version handwritten by Joseph himself of his own account of the First Vision. This was Joseph’s account of his spiritual experience in which he saw only ONE personage, "the Lord" in answer to his prayers – which the Lord has promised that personal revelation is available for ANYONE who ASKS with a pure heart.
“And Zeezrom said unto him: Thou sayest there is a true and living God? And Amulek said: Yea, there is a true and living God. Now Zeezrom said: Is there more than one God? And he answered, No. Now Zeezrom said unto him again: How knowest thou these things? And he said: An angel hath made them known unto me. And Zeezrom said again: Who is he that shall come? Is it the Son of God? And he said unto him, Yea”…(Book of Mormon | Alma 11:26 - 33) “Now Zeezrom saith again unto him: Is the Son of God the very Eternal Father? And Amulek said unto him: Yea, he is the very Eternal Father of heaven and of earth, and all things which in them are; he is the beginning and the end, the first and the last; And he shall come into the world to redeem his people; and he shall take upon him the transgressions of those who believe on his name; and these are they that shall have eternal life, and salvation cometh to none else.” (Book of Mormon | Alma 11:38 - 40)
Chapter 15 -- The truth hidden in plain sight; even in the heading of the BoM!
How Christ is both the Father and the Son—He shall make intercession and bear the transgressions of his people—They and all the holy prophets are his seed—He bringeth to pass the resurrection—Little children have eternal life. About 148 B.C.
“AND now Abinadi said unto them: I would that ye should understand that God himself shall come down among the children of men, and shall redeem his people. And because he dwelleth in flesh he shall be called the Son of God, and having subjected the flesh to the will of the Father, being the Father and the Son— The Father, because he was conceived by the power of God; (His Own power) and the Son, because of the flesh; thus becoming the Father and Son— And they are one God, yea, the very Eternal Father of heaven and of earth. And thus the flesh becoming subject to the Spirit, or the Son to the Father, being one God, suffereth temptation, and yieldeth not to the temptation, but suffereth himself to be mocked, and scourged, and cast out, and disowned by his people. And after all this, after working many mighty miracles among the children of men, he shall be led, yea, even as Isaiah said, as a sheep before the shearer is dumb, so he opened not his mouth. Yea, even so he shall be led, crucified, and slain, the flesh becoming subject even unto death, the will of the Son being swallowed up in the will of the Father. And thus God breaketh the bands of death, having gained the victory over death; giving the Son power to make intercession for the children of men— (Book of Mormon | Mosiah 15:Heading - 8 Note: To clarify this, God Himself came to this earth as a man with a veil to do His Own plan. That’s why it was only an angel that comforted Him in the Garden of Gethsemane to tell Him that if He did not fulfill His own plan (accept the cup) all that He had created would come to naught! One way to think of it is Jesus’ Spirit is in Heaven (separated by the veil of “forgetfulness” which is why even God on earth was spiritually taught line upon line) is the Father. When Jesus goes back to Heaven He is and always has been The Father! At times, while Jesus is on the earth the POSITION of Elohim is filled by another. For instance, when the “Father” commends the Son for His example of baptism by immersion, etc. The simple truth is that Jesus Christ IS the Eternal Father.
Joseph Smith and the top Mason boys; Brigham Young and Heber C. Kimball also took BACK the priesthood from women (and Blacks –later politically restored) in contradiction to Joseph giving the priesthood to Emma and other women. For example, “Next, Emma Hale Smith became the first woman to receive priesthood and its fullness.”(Meetings of anointed Quorum[--] Journalizings” 28 Sept 1843, Harold B. Lee Library, BYU)
Further proof is found in this private journal entry of Joseph Smith dated 28 April 1842; “gave a lecture on the pries[t[hood shewing [sic] how the Sisters would come in possession of the privileges & blessings & gifts of the priesthood & that the signs should follow them. Such as healing the sick casting out devils &c…”
Historian, ex-BYU (and voted "most popular") Professor Michael D. Quinn was excommunicated for writing the truth in his award winning article “Mormon Women Have Had the Priesthood Since 1843” which contains extensive proof that women did and should again have the priesthood. Here is this entry from Brigham Young’s 1843 diary of 29 October 1843: “Thirza Cahoon, Lois Cutler, and Phebe Woodworth were “taken into the order of the priesthood.” Then Michael explains “That was the day those three women individually received their endowment. They did not join with their husbands to receive the second anointing until 12 and 15 November 1843, respectively. When his own wife received the endowment on 1 November 1843, Brigham Young worte: ‘Mary A. Young admitted into the heist [highest] orderer [order of] Preasthood [sic].’ She did not receive the second anointing with him until three weeks later.” The evidence goes on that originally when Joseph was pure and in tune with God; before he gave into his ego and carnal desires, before he was lead astray by the flattery of the “learned men” (Masons) he was inspired by GOD to restore the priesthood to the WOMEN!
Joseph Smith also ignored the Lord's words regarding the abomination of polygamy. "...This people begin to wax in iniquity; they understand not the scriptures for they seek to excuse themselves in committing whoredoms, because of the things which were written concerning David, and Solomon his son. Behold, David and Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was abominable before me, saith the Lord." Jacob 2:23-24. Jacob Chapter 3 explains WHY the Nephite Nation (sometimes righteous people of the Lord in the Ancient Americas) were almost ALL destroyed; it because they had fallen becoming more wicked than their (usually) “wicked” brethren; the Laminites (present day American Indians) because they were practicing POLYGAMY!
The story that an angel with a drawn sword commanded that this practice of polygamy be practiced or Joseph Smith would be destroyed is just that – an embellished S T O R Y !!! The Lord has NEVER ignored the principle this earth is based on: FREE AGENCY!
Most of the blindly obedient "sheep" in the early LDS Church believed in political leaders (this includes the fallen prophet, Joseph Smith) over the word of God; the Original Book of Mormon and the other words of God such as the Bible, etc. even today! The Book of Mormon emphatically states that polygamy; the suppression and sexual exploitation much like the heavenly promise given to the Moslems, is an abomination unto the Lord! Some will try to look at the life of Abraham in justification of polygamy. Sorry, this justification doesn’t cut it either! Abraham lied twice once to a Pharaoh and then to Abimelech because he feared man more than God and said that his wife Sarah was his sister! “And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? Why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?” (Old Testament | Genesis 12:18) “And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing? And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake.” Fearing man more than God! (Old Testament | Genesis 20:10 - 11) Note: The Lord allows free agency even with Prophets who CAN lead the people astray. “Everyone needs to repent no matter their age or position” Richard G. Scott
The consequence of these LIES of Abraham was very grave indeed and Christians bear the brunt of it today with the Moslems who hate Christians. And yes, the Lord loves all of his children and he allows free agency of even foolish prophets who lie and make many mistakes that they need to repent of. Abraham because of his lie, was given the Egyptian Hagar BEFORE the Pharaoh was finally told the truth by Abraham AFTER the Lord intervened. Later Sarai “gave” Hagar to Abraham because she did NOT have faith in the promise of the Lord that Abraham would have seed as numerous as the sands. Hagar almost killed Isaac and Sarah was very jealous of Hagar – not a happy “family” situation. IF Abraham and Sarah had had FAITH, there would not have been the mess that a polygamous situation creates including the over-population of the earth and wars. In the 132nd section of the Doctrine and Covenants it states that Abraham did not sin when he took concubines (slaves). This is an embellishment and another lie by another prophet who needed/wanted to justify his adulterous affairs much like King David of old! Just as we need to get back to the pure, original Book of Mormon of 1830, we need to get back to the pure unaltered Book of Commandments which was later embellished and became the Doctrine and Covenants.
No wonder the faithful witnesses of the Book of Mormon and Apostles left the church when the Book of Mormon was altered, polygamy was being practiced and the Masonic oaths came into the Nauvoo temple by 33rd degree Masons, Brigham Young and Heber C. Kimball, etc. In fact, Brigham Young argued with and excommunicated William Smith the brother to the prophet Joseph Smith over the covenant of all time and talents, etc. to the Church rather than to the Lord which is idolatry, and Masonic rituals complete with a blood oath into the cursed Nauvoo Temple. “And it came to pass that Cain took one of his brothers' daughters to wife, and they loved Satan more than God. And Satan said unto Cain: Swear unto me by thy throat, and if thou tell it thou shalt die; and swear thy brethren by their heads, and by the living God, that they tell it not; for if they tell it, they shall surely die; and this that thy father may not know it; and this day I will deliver thy brother Abel into thine hands. And Satan sware unto Cain that he would do according to his commands. And all these things were done in secret.”(Pearl of Great Price | Moses 5:28 - 30)
The Lord told us to NEVER swear! “But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.” (New Testament | James 5:12)
“Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.” (New Testament | Matthew 5:33 - 37)
The church came into condemnation in 1838 (for four generations) as President Ezra Taft Benson reminded us in his famous Pride talk, April General Conference of 1989: "We are a condemned church because of Pride and not following the teachings of the Book of Mormon"! Others later tried to soften this truthful statement and Ezra Taft Benson was “silenced/subdued” by the “4th king” – see the Daniel’s prophecy II page on this site.
"For instead of blessings, ye, by your own works, bring cursings, wrath, indignation, and judgments upon your own heads, by your follies, and by all your abominations, which you practice before me, saith the Lord." Doctrine & Covenants 124:48
Church IS condemned for four to five generations! The LDS saints were persecuted then due to their pride, follies, and abominations. And the LDS saints are trying to be "popular" and blindly obedient for the One World Order today!
To clarify: the Book of Mormon teaches very clearly that polygamy is an abomination of God (Jacob 2:23-24 & Jacob 3). This corrupt practice almost destroyed an entire people (the Nephites) who lived in the Americas. This fact is NEVER taught in the sanitized Sunday school lessons which teachers can NOT add to nor can they teach by the spirit. How controlling is that? The Native American people who continued to live on the American continent were of this same blood line. These people originated from Jerusalem prior to Jerusalem's destruction at the time of the Prophet Jeremiah and many prophets (the Lord can call anyone!), approximately 600 B.C., Lehi, a businessman was inspired by God to cry repentance and then to leave. For those with spiritual knowledge, there are many type and shadows today of prophesied events that are replays from the past. In the book of Mosiah, for instance, it warns three times of “type and shadows" of things that are happening today! That will be mentioned in depth later on.
As we briefly stated earlier, the plain and precious truths presented here have a firm foundation of not only a deep, clear understanding of the scriptures, but a profound Near Death Experience (NDE) experienced at the pure age of 10. There is precedence of a similar “calling” given to Mormon, a great ancient American Prophet and compiler of the Golden Plates/Book of Mormon. He was also called by the Lord at the age of 10. This NDE was preceded by three dreams experienced and recorded in personal history journals written by his Mother and Father. He was taught in Heaven for three days while his body was in a coma after being accidentally shot and miraculously being healed. While he was in the St. Mary's Hospital in Tucson, Arizona, the Prophet David O. McKay and all of the Apostles prayed for this young boy. There were concerned for the father, who brought in billions of dollars as head geologist for the church would be arrested for negligent homicide. All of these LDS Leaders received an impactful spiritual witness (probably the first in their lives), that this young boy had an important mission for the Lord to restore the "plain and precious truths" of the original Book of Mormon after the apostacy and condemnation of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints as prophecied in 2 Nephi 3 and elsewhere in the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants.
Reiteration of Important Truths:
Joseph Smith, the founder of the LDS religion, had been warned by God against doing “his own will and carnal desires, he must fall” (D&C 3:1-11). He later got involved in masonry (satanic blood oaths of secrecy) and polygamy, “an abomination unto the Lord” (Moses 5:29, Book: Jacob 2:23-24).
Unknown to most Mormons, Joseph Smith’s repentance is contained in a book by award-winning historian D. Michael Quinn, “The Mormon Hierarchy: Origins of Power:”
June 10, 1844: “Hyrum (Joseph’s brother) tells Nauvoo City Council that the 1843 revelation pertains to ancient polygamy, not to modern times…” (It never pertained at any time!)
June 20, 1844: “Smith writes the apostles to return to Nauvoo immediately and.., instructs them to destroy their endowment undergarments.”
June 23, 1844: “…Joseph and Emma Smith burn the original manuscript of the 1843 polygamy revelation…” (Quinn 645-46).
Joseph Smith, the founder of the LDS religion, had been warned by God against doing “his own will and carnal desires, he must fall” (D&C 3:1-11). He later got involved in masonry (satanic blood oaths of secrecy) and polygamy, “an abomination unto the Lord” (Moses 5:29, Book: Jacob 2:23-24).
(1 Nephi 13 from the original Book of Mormon). Mormon, by the way, was a righteous Prophet/General who lived approximately 312 AD to 399 AD and abridged the records kept by the American inhabitants who knew of Jesus Christ as the Eternal Father (the "other sheep").

GOD BLESS USA
Right after Babylon destroyed Old Jerusalem, the Prophet Nephi (550 BC) saw the same revelation given to Isaiah (740 BC) about the Millennium New Babylon, read 2 Nephi 22 & 23. The Lord, Jesus Christ told the world that He would come as a Thief in the night and teach line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little, there a little for the restoration of the plain and simple truths (2 Nephi 3:24).
THE MILLENNIUM IS A SPIRITUAL ARMAGEDDON
The "great and abominable" Church (LDS) was warned of by the Prophet Nephi as he described the "church" in Old Jerusalem would do the same as being the instrument in corrupting the Bible and removing from it "the most plain and precious parts of the gospel of the Lamb" (1 Nephi 13:34) The Book of Mormon warned that "there are two churches only; the one is the church of the Lamb of God, and the other is the church of the devil; wherefore, whoso belongeth not to the church of the Lamb of God belongeth to that great church, which is the mother of abominations; and she is the whore of all the earth". (1 Nephi 14:10-11). On April 6, 2000 the LDS Church had been designated as the Millennium Church by the One World Order (modern day money-changers) Illuminati. The church needs to be cleansed from within as promised by the Lord through D&C 26, every April a majority of the members have greater power than their leaders. If the leaders are corrupt, the members (who were depicted in Lehi & Nephi's dreams as those within the "great and spacious building") have the responsibility to remove their corrupt leaders (D&C 64:37-40). The Book of Mormon is a warning to the SAINTS! (2 Nephi 28 "wo unto those who say all is well in Zion" ~ which Hinckley did in General Conference in 1995; infamously fulfilling prophecy as he "carefully" e.g. good public relations/image "down to hell" by denying the Holy Ghost (sons & daughters of perdition) e.g. not recognizing the true identity of God as contained within the "plain and precious truths" taken out of the Book of Mormon with the second printing in 1837). Jesus Christ IS the Eternal Father (Alma 11:23-40, Mosiah 15:1-5, Ether 3:14 & the ORIGINAL Book of Mormon).
When we come to this earth our spirits remain in Heaven. We incarnate with a soul (connection to heaven), an intelligence, and an "I AM." Our spirit is one of our guardian angels. Therefore, the Eternal Father (Spirit of God) remained in heaven while Jesus Christ became "as a man" and thus was "called the Son of God" as a title (Mosiah 15:1-5). Good and evil intelligences incarnate onto this earth (free agency for repentance afforded to ALL). The evil intelligences that were kicked out of heaven for following Lucifer's plan of perfectionism by control rather than purity and free agency do not have a soul e.g. connection to Heaven. However, they can repent by baptism as Jesus demonstrated. This might be NEW information for you, afterall, Lucifer has influenced alteration of truth for 6,000 years with a focus on corruption of religious leaders and alteration of scriptures (Inquisition, Bloody Crusades, polygamy, masonry, etc.). For instance, early Christian writings which equalized women and provided the spiritual teachings of Christ were ordered to be burned by Bishop of Alexander; Athanasias, leader of the Council of Nicea who compiled the Bible in 326 A.D. Mary Magdalene was the Beloved Apostle and wife to Jesus (or else Jesus could NOT have been a rabbi!) ~ see our link about the Gospels of Mary, Thomas, and Phillip ~divinely-preserved authentic, early Christian writings. Jesus (on this earth as a MAN) changed the water into wine at HIS wedding feast in Cana with His mother as Hostess. However, the truth for the Millennium (God is now in charge) makes sense and is confirmed by pure (unaltered) scriptures. Original Book of Mormons are available at this website or on the internet.
Revelations 19:11- 21:8 the Apostle John envisions Babylon and New Jerusalem for the Millennium. We know that the Millennium is a “spiritual” destruction and not “physical”. On April 6, 2000 Salt Lake City lost the Spirit of the Lord. The Blue Beam Project (recreate the Day-Night-Day) didn’t happen on that day when President Hinckley was dedicating the Palmyra Temple (US Attorney General Janet Reno responded with a letter of gratitude for the the exposed information the week before). The Blue Beam Project (see link on this site and on the internet) utilizes satellites and lazer technology to create holograms of "spiritual events" or psuedo "aliens / UFO's" to cause fear and/or obedience. (There are NO aliens; only illusions to cover up advanced technology and to discredit abduction victims of CIA MKUltra mind control abuse ~exposed in U.S. Congressional Hearings by Senator Frank Church).
ISAIAH, CHAPTER 12 (taught in symbolism to preserve his words against the mistranslations of Biblical ~and often political~ religious scribes throughout history).
In the Millennial day all men shall praise the Lord—He shall dwell among them—Compare 2 Nephi 22.
Destruction of Babylon is a type of destruction at Second Coming—It shall be a day of wrath and vengeance—Babylon (the world) shall fall forever—Compare 2 Nephi 23.
With the upcoming 2002 Winter Olympics, Salt Lake City was supposed to carry the Babylonian burden, as Isaiah saw it. Isaiah located Babylon “upon the high mountain”, inviting all the "nobles" throughout the world to this wicked city. The noise in the mountains surrounding Salt Lake City is evil but very loud (money-changers, CIA covert funds, worth trillions being processed in buying up and manipulating stocks, bonds, and all forms of commerce, illegal aliens, the church's 2 billion dollar shopping mall, etc.):
1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
2 Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
3 I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.
4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
5 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the Lord, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
6 Howl ye; for the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man’s heart shall melt:
8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
9 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
July 11, 2009: Brigham Young and the York Masons wanted to destroy everything of the Joseph Smith story, commencing in 1841 while these freemasons were serving in the British Isles and watching as thousands left this isolated island to the USA because of the Book of Mormon. These leaders teamed up the British Empire (Church of England) and taught how to remove Joseph Smith from the Church. The Lord came to Joseph Smith on January 19, 1841 and told him to get the Lord’s House in order, or else. This is D&C 124. This specific revelation warns converts and exposed the corrupt politics between outside governmental leaders and infiltrators since 1832 after the Church headquarters moved to Kirtland, Ohio about self pride and selfish interests for teaching blind obedience over the innocent.
Since 1846 when Brigham Young took the majority of the Saints to the Rocky Mountains (25,000) versus 8,000 to Wisconsin and elsewhere, the members have been cursed, as warned in the above revelation (v. 45-48). Jesus kicked the money-changers out of the Temple as an example of the condition of Salt Lake City as Babylon as the commencement of the Millennium.
Latinos and Hispanics have been taught for many generations that Central America is the location of the Book of Mormon. Utah Mormon leaders have maintained this false teaching since 1877 when Brigham Young declared Manti, Utah as the Center of the Church and not the Great Lakes and Mississippi/Ohio River areas, as taught by Joseph Smith. There were many artifacts being discovered by Catholics in many Mounds in Michigan during the leadership of Brigham Young, certifying the wisdom of those Saints who moved to Wisconsin after the murder of Joseph Smith. Rocky Mountain gold bribery to governmental agents and secret deals with Albert Pike (Confederate States) was used to discredit the Great Lake mound discoveries and evidences that Joseph Smith had told the truth.
Since the dynasty of President Young, the LDS Leaders have justified illegal actions. Today, it is out of control and finally many Hispanic/Black/Democrat group leaders have teamed up with Native Americans and they are starting to fight the Mind Control of Mormon Converts illegally coming to the US. It is a fact that:
1. Native American artifact theft is a double standard fraud by Mormon Leaders.
2. Illegal immigrant missionary services, serving as a church leader (bishops, Stake Presidents) is a double standard fraud by the Mormon Leaders.
3. Economic developments and investments in the Caribbean, Central and South America is massive by Mormon Leaders with false promises of coming to the USA illegally protected through corrupt Mormon attorneys CIA, FBI, Border Patrol agents.
LDS missionaries: Undocumented immigrants walk fine line when spreading their faith
By Peggy Fletcher Stack, The Salt Lake Tribune, 07/10/2009
http://www.sltrib.com/ci_12787617?source=most_viewed
Cecelia Carmona has sent six children and a grandson to parts of the United States on two-year LDS missions -- all as undocumented immigrants. A year ago, the Salt Lake City single mom from Mexico completed her own 18-month mission in New York City.
For the first time, Carmona is worried.
Her latest missionary son is slated to return home next month, but his mission president in Pennsylvania still has not finalized the travel details.
Since April, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has scrambled to adjust its transportation procedures for undocumented missionaries after Jose Calzadillas was detained by Customs and Border Control agents at the Cincinnati airport for not having proper identification. He was flying home after a successful Mormon mission in Ohio.
To avoid such problems, the church has assigned undocumented prospective missionaries (who must declare their immigration status before serving) only to U.S. missions. Those missionaries likely will have to stay out of airports and arrive and leave by car, bus or train.
The arrest has had a "chilling effect" on Mormonism's Latino wards and branches, says a Chilean immigrant and returned LDS missionary named Jaime, who declined to give his last name because of his immigration status.
Other than for its missionaries, the LDS Church takes a "don't ask, don't tell" approach toward the immigration status of its members. But some estimate between 50 percent
and 75 percent of members in Utah's 104 Spanish-speaking congregations are undocumented. That includes many bishops, branch presidents, even stake presidents.
Despite LDS leaders' call for compassion in the formation of immigration laws, mostly Mormon lawmakers passed SB81, which took effect July 1 and tightens enforcement while limiting access to some services.
"This is creating a division among Latin LDS people here," Jaime says. "Many, many Latin people are now forbidding their sons from going on missions. All of this is affecting proselytizing for the church in our original countries."
In her ward, Carmona says through a translator, "people are very scared."
Lord's errand » The irony is, of course, that many undocumented immigrants came to Utah because of Mormonism.
A convert of some 25 years, Jaime arrived in May 2005, looking for financial stability and a warm embrace by fellow believers.
That fall, he joined more than 20,000 Spanish-speaking members at the LDS Church's "Hispanic Fireside" in the Conference Center in downtown Salt Lake City. He was moved when one LDS authority asked, "Do you think it was economic problems that put you here?"
"No," Jaime recalls the man saying. "It was the Lord. The Lord put you here for his purpose."
That was "really important to us. We felt valued," he says. "Now we feel abandoned."
The church did not take a position on recent immigration legislation, which outraged Jaime and other LDS immigrants eager for their faith to defend them.
"The church could make more pressure on lawmakers," he says.
It's a balancing act for LDS authorities, given that many of the main opponents of undocumented immigrants also happen to be Mormon.
From that perspective, undocumented immigrants are violating church principles, especially the 12th Article of Faith, which says members believe in "obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law."
"If they're undocumented, they are not legal," says state Sen. Scott Jenkins, R-Plain City, a former LDS missionary. "If they are working, they are using another person's Social Security number. It is wrong."
Jenkins says he has compassion for undocumented immigrants. "We should feed, clothe and help them, but does that mean I should help them commit a felony?"
As to sending undocumented missionaries, the church "has been warned," Jenkins says. "The day the government starts cracking down on this, the church could be in a tough situation."
Gospel cause » Still, LDS authorities defend their political neutrality and policies.
"We're not agents of the immigration service, and we don't pretend to be," apostle Jeffrey R. Holland told The Salt Lake Tribune recently, "and we also won't break the law."
To that end, the church sends missionaries among undocumented immigrants, baptizing many of them without ever asking about their status. It also allows them to go to the temple and on missions.
"The blessings of the [LDS] Church are available to anyone who qualifies for and accepts the gospel of Jesus Christ," LDS spokesman Scott Trotter says. "Federal law allows undocumented persons to provide volunteer church service, including missionary service, within the United States."
The LDS Church also is deeply involved in helping Spanish-speaking members integrate into U.S. society.
As part of the church's Inner City Project here, Rock Balstaed oversees about 70 couples who volunteer in Spanish-speaking congregations. They provide English classes and job training, as well as assess and assist with medical and dental needs.
Some LDS attorneys with the J. Reuben Clark Law Society also provide legal assistance when immigrants have disputes with neighbors of employers.
"These are determined, vibrant people, not looking for a handout; they're looking for an opportunity," Balstaed says. "These are families. They are not villains or criminals."
Double bind » It's especially complicated for those who came to Utah as infants or toddlers, says immigration attorney Rebecca van Uitert in Chicago.
Van Uitert, who is LDS, tells the story of a young man who was 4 when he arrived on America's shores. He grew up with his Mormon peers, listening to the same music, attending the same seminary classes and singing the same song about going on a mission when he grew "a foot or two."
But he always was aware of his otherness, she says. "He knew he wasn't supposed to be here and that it could all be taken away at a moment's notice."
The young man delayed his decision to serve a mission for a couple of years. The goodbye with his parents was heart-wrenching.
"I remember him sobbing, 'Should I do this or not?' " van Uitert says. "He knew he'd be putting himself at risk by going and knocking on doors. If he was deported and sent back to his country, he and his family could be separated forever."
Yet he couldn't refuse what he believed God wanted him to do. He felt it was a divine duty.
Van Uitert knows dozens of stories like this one -- and faith colors all of them.
"Oftentimes, people feel God tells them to come to Utah," she says. "They are fleeing violence or political unrest or poverty. God tells them this is the path, and the rest falls into place."
They get tourist visas and believe that wouldn't have happened if God didn't want them to come in the first place. Then they simply stay.
"I have learned to listen to the Spirit. When God tells me to do something, I do it," says Van Uitert, who is launching an oral-history program among Mormons to "document the undocumented."
"Why shouldn't they?"
July 1, 2009: The LDS Church has had nothing to do with the Kirtland Temple since they abandoned it under the direction of Brigham Young and the Freemasons. Only the Bloodline of Joseph Smith Jr. honored the Lord in preserving this special edifice of the Lord, including today.
Nauvoo, Illinois became a Freemason city because in 1841 the Lord warned the members that they will be cursed if they disobey the commandments of the Lord (D&C 124:46-48). President Ezra Taft Benson warned the members about this same “curse” in April, 1989.
“But if they will not hearken to my voice, nor unto the voice of these men whom I have appointed, they shall not be blest, because they pollute mine holy grounds, and mine holy ordinances, and charters, any my holy words which I give unto them. And it shall come to pass that if you build a house unto my name, and do not do the things that I say, I will not perform the oath which I make unto you, neither fulfil the promises which ye expect at my hands, saith the Lord. For instead of blessings, ye, by your own works, bring cursings, wrath, indignation, and judgments upon your own heads by your follies, and by all your abominations, which you practice before me, saith the Lord.”
The Kirtland Temple is still the only Temple blessed by the Lord in these latter days. Why? Because this building is “open” and “free” and functions just like the Lord – a gathering place to sit and honor those who built it over 173 years ago. The righteous Nephite nation stayed in a specific area between 200 BC and 400 AD = 600 years.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hopewell_culture
They didn’t expand their kingdom. They enhanced, improved and fortified it with righteous soldiers and leaders. The Stick of Judah (Mulekites, a princess) joined with the Stick of Joseph (Nephities, warrior Mosiah) and they married and their first born was Benjamin (Book of Mosiah), who became their king. The combined center of these two great nations was Zarahelma (a Mulekite city). The Mulekites left Jerusalem under instructions of the Prophet Jeremiah and traveled through the Mediterranean Sea and traveled through the Canadian St. Lawrence River and settled in the Great Lakes (550 BC) and eventually on various river sites (Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri) at the time when they merged with the Nephite nation three hundred and fifty years later.
http://www.hooper-home.net/CHRONO/Daughters.html
The City of Manti was the most Southwest Nephite/Mulekite community (Alma 56, 63 BC)) and was always battling the Lamanites. Joseph Smith identified this location as Randolph County, Missouri (central). In other words, Independence, Missouri is in Lamanite land. It always was. Kanco Energy, Inc. Stockholder headquarters have been located in Moberly, Randolph County, Missouri for over five years proving that Joseph Smith was right; and Brigham Young was a liar and hypocrite and a very loyal York Mason to his death. In 1877, the year President Young died, he designated Manti, Utah as a Book of Mormon site. Very few LDS Presidents have honored the claims made by Joseph Smith. They are also York Masons, building Masonic Temples all over the world to maintain the curse given by the Lord on January 19, 1841. Only repentance and realizing greed, pride and evil actions are of Lucifer have members been blessed since April 6, 2000, thanks to the internet. President Hinckley was in control and attempted to re-create the Day-Night-Day prophesy (Zechariah 14:6-7) through the Blue Beam Project. Unbeknowst to even LDS members, it was exposed before it happened.

The 'gathering' -- a wondrous sequence
...The Community of Christ Church (formerly the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) has preserved the Kirtland Temple as a testimony of their commitment to sacred things.
Surely the most historic spot in that building is in the large room on the main floor, behind the upmost pulpit on the Melchizedek Priesthood stand. Here, on April 3, 1836, several things took place that are "historic" in the largest sense of the word. They have impacted eternity in the lives of an ever-growing host of mankind.
Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery privately knelt there, desiring to know the Lord's will for their newly dedicated temple. The answer was a rare and open revelation.
The Savior himself appeared; he accepted the building; he promised to manifest himself and commune with his servants therein; it was now his very house (Doctrine and Covenants 110:6-8). All of this set a high and holy standard for future temples.
But there was more. Certain "blessings" were to be "poured out" that day. "In consequence... the hearts of thousands and tens of thousands" would "greatly rejoice."
After this announcement, "the vision closed." Perhaps Joseph and Oliver wondered just what blessings were still to come. What, if anything, could possibly be more cause for rejoicing than what had already happened?
They didn't have to wonder long. "The heavens were again opened unto us." That is when those blessings the Lord had just referred to were poured out. Heavenly messengers came, bearing keys.
The first was Moses, conveying the power to gather Israel. Personally, I would not have imagined any "keys" were needed to gather Israel. Or even thought of Israel, or thought of gathering her.
But that's because I would not have noticed the essential part the "gathering" must fill in God's plan. The root of "gather" means to bind, join, gird or knit as one -- not merely to be clustered into one spot. It reminds us of the oneness of the faithful, whose hearts are "comforted, being knit together in love" (Colossians 2:2; see also Mosiah 18:21).
The next visitor, called Elias, committed to Joseph and Oliver the same blessings once bestowed upon Father Abraham -- the prospect of uniting the gathered faithful even more fully, organizing them by family.
So in this building erected by untold sacrifice, erected for a destined day in April 1836, a wondrous sequence unfolded. First came power to gather. Second, the privilege of making that gathering a family affair.
The next visitor to appear that day completed the sequence perfectly. Elijah came, conferring the power to seal those who are gathered, so that they remain gathered throughout eternity.
Had the temple somehow been lost, even the very next day, the keys were now on earth. The wondrous sequence, like an open road, remains intact for each person whose heart is knit together with the Saints.

John 8:32: The Truth Shall Set You Free.
As taught during a three day Near Death Experience; God's truth is simple, plain, and free. The Millennium began on April 6, 2000 with a forty year transition time to warn LDS Church leaders to repent. This is a type and shadow of the forty years God allowed for the repentance of the Israelites as taught to the Prophet Moses (married Zipporah, daughter of Jethro, a Midianite/Hagar-Ishmael lineage). Presidents Harold B. Lee, Ezra Taft Benson, and Howard W. Hunter were the best students while they served as Apostles of the Lord before each became the President of this modern day society of believers in the Book of Mormon as the truest testament of Jesus Christ. However, Howard W. Hunter disclosed the very serious blood oath taken by all apostles of loyalty and secrecy. The consequence of talking was a serious blood atonement. Harold B. Lee went out of the line when he opted for baptismal work to be done in stake centers versus costly "great and spacious" temples. Harold B. Lee died mysteriously when hospitalized for tests, Benson was silenced after declaring "we are a condemned church" during his General Conference famous "Pride" talk. Howard W. Hunter disclosed information regarding the behind-the-scenes activities of the leaders of the church because he had received a spiritual witness regarding the mission of this author and NDE witness. Hunter gave a talk October Conference General Priesthood 1994 that members had the responsibility to correct their leaders whenever leaders err. Hunter lived as the President of the church for only nine months.
On November 1, 1960, just days before the US Presidential Elections between followers of blind control – VP Richard Nixon (like kingmen, Alma 51) and Senator John F. Kennedy (a great & abominable church rep) the identity of the “Anti-Christ” of the last “great and abominable church” was given by Angel Moroni as being the “next called Mormon Apostle” of the Tribe of Joseph just before the Millennium begins April 6, 2000. This apostle would reign and rule through the Danite/CIA/MK-Ultra Mind Control Program over the members of the LDS Church in Salt Lake City, Utah. On October 5, 1961 full-time employee since 1935, Hinckley was sustained by 1.5 Million members to be the Apostle to replace deceased, 1st Counselor J. Rueben Clark Jr. President Clark fought against the Anti-Christ. J. Rueben Clark never served as a bishop or stake president where Mormons learn all about blind obedience in leading astray members all over the world into believing in ‘many gods’. If Joseph Smith Jr. had kept the Original Book of Mormon in tact (not altered llike what happened in 1837) there would be over 200 Million Mormons by April 6, 2000 and Freemasonry deception and evil would not rule in Salt Lake City. But the Lord knew how much truth was in the Book of Mormon and an organized Freemasonry infiltrated through Kimball and Young and many others in 1832.
The Christian Thessalonians believed in the things which were seen by Apostle Paul during his three day coma experience where he saw the Anti-Christ at the time of the Millennium (April 6, 2000). He saw Mormon President Gordon B. Hinckley and Salt Lake City as Babylon sitting high in the mountain tops, like what the Prophet Ezekiel and the Prophet Isaiah saw. The LDS leaders need to repent as the cleansing of the Lord's House begins with the most wicked "great and abominable" church; the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints e.g. the Mormons (1 Nephi 13).
I Thessalonians 1:10 "and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come."
I Thessalonians 5:4,9-10 "For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night. For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him."
II Thessalonians 2:3, 6-7 "Let no one in any way deceive you for it (the Day of the Lord) will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction. And you know what restrains him now, so that in this time he may be revealed. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way."
Gordon B. Hinckley (the Anti-Christ/”man of lawlessness”) died on January 27, 2008, fulfilling the promise given by the Apostle Paul after he had a three day coma visit with the Resurrected Jesus Christ.
Romans 5:9 "Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him."
Christ will return for those who have died and those who are still living and deliver us from the wrath and tribulation that will be suffered by those who follow the Antichrist.
God felt it was so important for us to be alert and watchful for his coming that he reminded us several times to be ready.
Matthew 24:42 "Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming."
Matthew 24:44 "For the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.”
Matthew 24:36 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone."
Matthew 25:13 "Be on the alert then, for you do not know the day nor the hour."
See www.bridgingtruth.com for further evidence of how the Torah, the Bible, and the original Book of Mormon all confirm the true identity of God. Of course, the Lord is God to all people of the world and not just to the Jews who denied Him (or were murdered) and whose evil church leaders crucified Him (type and shadow of corruption of prideful, pious, greedy church leaders of today). "And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd" (John 10:16). Authenticated ancient American artifacts also found in the Smithsonian have been carbon-dated to match the historical time period as recorded in the original Book of Mormon (Hopewell). The Book of Mormon people populated what is now the U.S.A. not the South America as the church leaders and F.A.R.M.S. erroneously puts out. To reverse their stand to tell the truth, would interfere with pride and "perfectionism" of false prophet and apostles! Utah is located in the what use to be the "Gadianton Robbers" habitate: a very wicked people. The Ohio area is where the Hopewill (named after modern land owners) civilization and ancient artifacts have been documented was the residence of the Nephites. They were usually a more righteous people as recorded the Book of Mormon until they began to practice polygamy; an abomination unto the Lord ((Jacob 2:23-24 and Jacob 2:3). Then they were exterminated by the Lamanites; ancestors of Native Americans of today.

International Trade in Looted Antiquities
The Precolumbian Antiquities Market
Kanco Energy, Inc. Stockholders
and the United Nations for the education of the general public
Since 1847 to the present the Mormon Church has been the most powerful entity in looting and altering ancient artifacts for their own political and financial gains. My relative (Parley P. Pratt) was one of the leaders who had joined back in September, 1830. He was a successful businessman in Ohio and his wife was the local school teacher. In less than five years he was one of the top leaders, teaching commerce and biblical loyalty. He realized their corruption and false doctrines of polygamy and masonry which the Book of Mormon warns against. He was murdered, from within by Masons, on May 13, 1857, to control others who were confessing of their cult operations in the Rocky Mountains. After World War II the Mormon church became the leader in all global precious metal market controllers through their connections within the Central Intelligence Agency and Federal Reserve System because of the discoveries of the Nag Hammadi scrolls (1944, Egypt) and Dead Sea Scrolls (1945, Jordan) after the US had conquered Germany, Japan, and Italy and opened up the Middle East to western commerce. “Every member a missionary” was the key slogan incorporated in April, 1960 by this Cult Leadership operation of blind obedience to their leader, the “profit/Prophet”. They are professionals in placing people of wealth and political power as missionaries to obtain the treasures of a community through bribery and corruption. Professional archaeologists have known this process for years and are powerless because of their vast wealth and control. “….Unfortunately, the US legal establishment has tended to show itself unwilling or unable to deal appropriately with cases of looting and selling of the past. It is sad but true that our judiciary is often ignorant and racist; even if not, they are elected officials or people who plan to seek office and collectors are generally people of wealth and political power in the community. I have been witness to a number of instances in which US attorneys would not act or the scions of powerful families were not charged in cases where there was unequivocal evidence of guilt….”
Note regarding: International Trade in Looted Antiquities
This is a warning to the church leaders regarding their theft of stolen artifacts just as they stole the Bullfrog mine in Nye County, Nevada and the Cook ranch in Wyoming; now a part of the Deseret Ranch. These multi-million dollar thefts occurred through Zion’s Bank and other entities (Barrick Gold, etc.) and corrupt lawyers and Judges as warned of in the Book of Mormon.
President Ronald Reagan protected the gold treasures of the Philippines and other nations through an American Commerce the world had never known before he took office. Dr. H. Clyde Davis, PhD, US geologist and friend to the Native Americans and Director of Mineral Resources for the Mormon Church since 1966, exposed corrupt Mormon federal agents (CIA, White House) on March 20, 2006 and signed an Affidavit indentifying former Hawaii Deputy State Attorney General Thomas T. Wood (Missouri attorney) as being an agent for the Mormon President in the theft of gold and real estate with CIA Agent Arn Ufford, Wayne May, Gary Taylor, and others.
The Precolumbian Antiquities Market
http://www.plundered.past - a Commentary by Karen Olsen Bruhns
Archaeologist Karen Olsen Bruhns at San Francisco State University occasionally moonlights as a consultant on the illegal antiquities trade for the U.S. Customs.
One of the ongoing battles archaeologists have grappled with over the decades is the antiques market. There's no doubt about it that early archaeologists largely supported the illicit trade of artifacts; our earliest predecessors were often both buyers and sellers of such goods to learn about hidden archaeological sites, and, I'm afraid, to fund the ongoing costs of excavations. Antiques dealers are (or rather can be) legitimate businesses in many countries, and some of our most respected politicians are collectors of ancient artifacts. Unfortunately, the trade in the antiquities market can and does support the looting of archaeological treasures the world over. In this essay, Karen Olsen Bruhns discusses the latest wrinkle on the old problem; antique dealing on the web.
The Internet is a powerful sales tool. All of us who suffered through media bleatings about e-commerce during the holidays season must be aware of that. International business and middle class America are on-line. General feeling—-as reported in the business section of my local newspaper—-is that some 40% of all American households are connected to the Internet; rising to 75% or more of all people making $70,000 a year or more. Small wonder then that the antiquities market has moved on-line in an ever increasing manner. Starting with the arrowhead collectors/dealers, who have been very active on the WWW for some time, moving to auction houses from Sotheby’s to the guys who auction off more modest estates, and then the dealers themselves, everyone has gotten or is getting onto the Internet band wagon.
In January 2000 Alex Barker addressed some of the aspects of this vast expansion of the illicit antiquities market, specifically the immense Amazon.com and eBay auctions as they get into the business of flogging antiquities world-wide. This is a disastrous situation, although one that was to be expected, given the ambivalent attitude towards antiquities dealing exhibited by the U.S. legal system. Yes, e-trading is going to, if it has not already, increase the rate of site destruction world-wide. And, as Dr. Barker remarked, it is extending the market to really low economic levels---potsherds literally being scraped by the bagfull off of sites around the world to make earrings, fancy little box lids and similar pieces of decorative kitsch.
The WWW is a wonderful opportunity for antiquities sales. Paper costs have risen sharply and the cost of publication of catalogues has become prohibitive. On the Web multiple color photographs of objects can be disseminated around the world cheaply. New stock can be popped in instantly and dubious items removed or transferred to a less prestigious venue as the demands of commerce or escaping prosecution indicate. No more mailing costs and delays. The WWW really is a tremendous advantage to highly visual and semi-legitimate businesses. After all, if you can sell babies and kidneys on eBay, why not artifacts of dubious provenience or authenticity?
I am going to restrict my specific comments to pre-Columbian antiquities as this is my area of expertise. I understand from colleagues in Egyptology, East Asian Studies, and even paleontology, which has recently awakened to the tremendous increase in the value of fossils and the hemorrhaging of fossils from this and other countries, that the situation is the same everywhere. The past is being bulldozed out of the ground and being sold on-line.
Pre-Columbian antiquities are being sold in a large number of venues on the WWW, ranging from Sotheby’s auction house, through Amazon.com and eBay to lower end dealers like the Relic Shack or Riley’s Rocks. Save for their enormous scope, I would classify eBay and Amazon.com as lower end dealers, given the very mixed and generally knickknack nature of what they sell. Both, however, are used by higher end dealers to rid themselves of dubious pieces of little potential monetary value and, also, to lure in people who might well be interested in buying higher priced antiquities. I first encountered Howard Nowes on eBay and then, as invited, went to his own Web site where he displays his more expensive wares and services. However, the very high end of the antiquities business is moving in fast: http://icollector.com in England and http://artnet.com in the US are good examples of sites which advertise and link these dealers’ sites. It is inevitable that other galleries will join them or will form similar sites which facilitate the collector and the dealer in finding out what is on currently on offer. E-commerce has also so far shown itself to be impossible to regulate, something which greatly aids semi-legitimate enterprises such as the selling of antiquities.
That’s the bad news; but it is not all bad. The fact that dealers’ inventories are out in the public venue, generally in full color, can be used to advantage by someone other than dealers and collectors, U.S. Customs, for example. U.S. Customs has established a National Cybercenter from which the WWW is patrolled continually for various classes of contraband, including antiquities. Often Customs is alerted by foreign officials because of cultural property that they have seen on-line. E-commerce goes everywhere and the "donor nations" are also patrolling the Web in the hopes of regaining some of their looted past. Customs can make a seizure/arrest under the provisions of the UNESCO Accord or under the National Stolen Properties Act, if the complaining country has legislation that meets the requirements of either of those documents. Then the material enters the U.S. legal system to establish if it has been imported illegally or stolen.
Unfortunately, the US legal establishment has tended to show itself unwilling or unable to deal appropriately with cases of looting and selling of the past. It is sad but true that our judiciary is often ignorant and racist; even if not, they are elected officials or people who plan to seek office and collectors are generally people of wealth and political power in the community. I have been witness to a number of instances in which US attorneys would not act or the scions of powerful families were not charged in cases where there was unequivocal evidence of guilt. I have also found myself in the extremely uncomfortable position of having to explain to foreign officials that to improve their chances in our courts, they had best send an expert who is tall, light complexioned, and who speaks good English. Male is better than female. This is Realpolitik as observed from the trenches.
Another of the problems involved in activating our legal system lies with the "donor nations". Most have legal systems which are very different from ours, systems in which procedures, rules of evidence, etc. are not compatible with what we require, which is, essentially, a provision that ownership of all ancient objects is vested in the state and that private collections are registered with a deadline after which private collections are considered state/stolen property. Many of the donor countries are also poor and little money is available to pursue the expensive and time consuming business of attempting to get pieces back. This, added to disorganization, factionalism, and the knowledge that the looted pieces have lost their scientific value and are now only worth while as symbols of defense of the patrimony, impedes legal enforcement of the UNESCO accord and related treaties and agreements. The WWW does offer the donor nations one advantage: they can log on and see who is selling what bit of their looted heritage this week.
Better news is the large number of stolen art alert sites and sites dealing with the legalities and the ethics of the antiquities trade (cf. Yahoo.com’s archaeology site). The Illicit Antiquities Research Centre at Cambridge(UK) publishes on-line its newsletter "Culture Without Context" , and advertises its conferences and other activities. Universities around the world publish programs and papers of conferences such as the one on "Art, Antiquity and the Law: Preserving Our Global Cultural Heritage" held 2 years ago at Rutgers. The USIA has an immense site which covers news of recent pillaging, new import restrictions, recent and expired import, the texts of US. and international laws (including the UNESCO accord and UNIDROIT) and a large informational site about prosecution and recovery of cultural property around the world as reported on the WWW.
Of extraordinary value is that the USIA site has image databases of classes of materials which are prohibited. Most dealers link their site to sites of related interest, usually archaeological ones. What those image databases mean and what the stolen art indices mean and what the reports on pillaging mean is that it is going to be ever more increasingly difficult for a buyer to claim due diligence in seeking the legitimacy of his purchase or that s/he is an innocent third party. This remains to be tested in the courts, but is a growing possibility.
The prevalence of forgeries is also good news. Since I started checking on the on-line antiquities market I have seen an amazing number of dubious pieces of pre-Columbian art. I have had an interest in the forger’s craft for years. Contrary to the attitude exhibited by most collectors, curators, and a surprising number of my colleagues, fakery is not something that started a few years ago. For example, the Denver Art Museum (News from the Center, June, 1994 ) notes that Colima dogs have been being "newly" manufactured since the late 19th century and that nearly half of those cute doggies out there are not as old as the collector/dealer/curator would like to think. Leopoldo Batres in his 1909 Antiguedades Mejicanas Falsificadas: Falsificación y Falsificadores illustrates pieces in "pre-Columbian’" styles made for the Spanish conquerors as well as the flourishing central Mexican industry in "Teotihuacán" greenstone masks, "Aztec" obsidian blades and figurines, etc. I have yet to see a style of antiquities that has not been forged. But it was possible, mostly, to ignore this flooding of the antiquities market with fakes until the World Wide Web. True, there was the occasional exposé, like the "outing " of Brígido Lara, the talented artisan who has given us so much wonderful Classic Veracruz sculpture (Connoisseur, June 1987) but in general it has been possible for dealers and academics alike to claim that "Oh yes, there are fakes out there, but the trained eye of the true connoisseur can spot these things immediately for the ugly and nasty hoaxes that they are". Well, no. And these days the trained eye has probably itself been trained on fakes. The ostrich-like stance of so many of our colleagues has resulted in the corruption by forgeries of many areas of pre-Columbian studies. This is really visible on the WWW because here one gets a illustrated look at the entire range of the market. And what I, and many of my colleagues, see is that from the top end of the international "art" galleries and auction houses to that wonderful site that advertises employee leasing, rare coins, pre-Columbian art, and mortgage debt relief (www.austincom.com), fakery is the order of the day. At this point we are awash in modern Mezcala, contemporary Copador, hilarious Jalisco and post-Columbian gold galore. The situation is no better for the arrowhead dealers, as was so trenchantly reviewed in American Antiquity by John Whittaker and Michael Stanford (Vol. 64, No. 2, 1999). Many of the arrowhead Web sites discuss forgery openly; other pre-Columbian dealers do not.
Now the dealers are quite aware of the legal problems of selling forgeries, as well as the practical ones of losing their clientele should the situation become public, as given the Web, it probably will. Many of them tout their own expertise (Jonathan Carlofino even gives the title of his MA thesis —although not the name of the institution that granted the degree—www.pre-columbian-art.com) or that of their associates. I think I might just believe Jim Tatum, all of whose authenticating is done by "my son Carlos" and who says they only do Florida ‘cause that’s all they know. I am not so sure about the guy named as "experienced long time relics authenticator and dealer " even though he will furnish a copy of a Certificate of Authenticity (bold face) that has a picture of the artifact and a dated signature. American Heritage Artifacts in its statement on collecting Indian artifacts (not surprisingly they are all for it and regard it as "saving vital specimens for the generations to come") hedge with a certain amount of persiflage. Sotheby’s states blandly that artifacts are sold "as is", part of the "as is" presumably being their real antiquity and eBay is even more up front, the bottom of each page says "caveat emptor". At lower levels dealers tend to talk loudly about their expertise "All Antiquities and Indian Artifacts we sell come with our exclusive lifetime guarantee of authenticity" ( http://www.caddotc.com ) and will often, for a small extra fee, offer you a certificate of authenticity "suitable for framing".
So who cares? Well, on the bottom end of the market, the arrowhead collector might get mad or the person who bought that " Pre Columbian Nayarit Blackware Couple, 300 AD, Adorable and Rare" off Amazon.com might console himself with the fact that the accompanying free quartz crystal cluster is probably genuine or switch over to a competitor or even, upon due reflection, turn to one of the many companies that sell quality reproductions at reasonable prices. But the person who spent over $300,000 on a Huari figurine in a well-known post-Columbian style might well be a bit more annoyed. Especially if this person were to, as so many collectors do, attempt to buy prestige by donating his prize to a local museum and taking a tax write-off. The difference in value between an ancient artifact and a modern one is considerable and the IRS can be interested.
The on-line sales of antiquities is a very complex situation and involves a great many different important issues. At this point, is there anything we as archaeologists can do to try to stem the e-commerce in humanities’ heritage? Maybe.
Proposals such as a strong anti-dealing statement in our ethics statement are not going to be of much immediate benefit. The main value of such statements is in the legal area, especially if the SAA decides to become proactive and enter into cases as an amicus curie. They should also stand in good stead in discussing with our colleagues the reasons why it is unwise to hang around with dealers and collectors, seek funds from dealers and collectors, or base their research on unprovenienced antiquities. These things need to be discussed openly and, I believe, publicly in forums such as the SAA Bulletin. Many of our colleagues still do not get it; especially those doing epigraphic and iconographic studies. A stepped up awareness program among archaeologists and in related fields, coupled with strong and clear statements of ethics in this regard would be a good first step.
