The gathering of the Lord’s Covenant people, the American Indians into the church of the Lord, will eventually restore the balance of truth to the gospel of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and that which is based on distortions and deception will be done away with. It will also restore the American Indians to ownership of the lands which they have first claim upon. It is prophesied that the American Indian people will take upon themselves that mantle of the Lord’s power that the current LDS People have forsaken, and prepare themselves for the return of the Lord, so that they may become the most blessed people on the earth and prepare to build the New Jerusalem. These are the people who are prophesied to gathered by the Lord "as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings," and the time is growing short for all people to repent and return to the Lord.

At this time it is expedient for current members of the LDS Church to repent of their ways and shake loose from the stupor of thought which is enveloping them, for the church in early years has taught that it is the hope of all members to be numbered among the covenant people of the Lord in the building of the New Jerusalem. This was in fact accepted as one of the primary purposes of the Mormon Church, to gather the American Indians to the restored gospel so that their lands could be restored to them.

It has been said in more than one scripture that the present conditions of the world would be so wicked, that when the time arrives that mankind awakes to a sense of their awful situations, everyone will be worried about their own salvation to the extent that they will not have time to worry about those of others.

-Proverbs 1:7

the mount of Olivet, and upon the mighty ocean, even the great deep, and upon the islands of the sea, and upon the land of Zion. And he shall utter his voice out of Zion, and he shall speak from Jerusalem, and his voice shall be heard among all people; And it shall be a voice as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder, which shall break down the mountains, and the valleys shall not be found. He shall command the great deep, and it shall be driven back into the north countries, and the islands shall become one land;

But there is more that has not been understood; that which has not been spelled out has led to many false assumptions. For when he comes to the saints, they will not be deprived of their free agency to reject him; the Lord will not simply present him to the world accompanied with invincible heavenly powers, for men must not be deprived of their opportunity to be tested. For the Lord has decreed that in this earthly test all men will not be deprived of their free agency to choose between that which is good and that which is evil. Those who look for the high profile entrance of a grand and powerful being will stumble on their own delusion, for by expecting an easily recognizable power, they would be deprived of their free agency. They would not be tested with the choice, to choose truth or to choose confusion, the choice of good verses evil. Because most will be looking towards the wealthy and privileged social classes of society for those leaders they will to follow, they will reject the notion of the Lord’s power coming from where they think not to search, and from the downtrodden and the poor.

"Wherefore, I call upon the weak things of the world, those who are unlearned and despised, to thrash the nations by the power of my spirit; and their arm shall be my arm, and I will be their shield and their buckler; and I will gird up their loins, and they shall fight manfully for me; and their enemies shall be under their feet; and I will let fall the sword in their behalf, and by the fire of mine indignation will I preserve them." (Doctrine and Covenants, 35:12_14)

Any student of scriptural history should know that mankind has never been deprived of their free agency to persecute and kill the prophets, from Biblical times to the present, although the power of the Lord will be turned against those who seek to harm His servants. Throughout history, all who have hated truth have not been deprived of their choice to try to kill and/or destroy the prophets, although they are prevented by the power of the Lord to martyr His servants until they have completed their earthly mission. All perform service in the Lord’s work will find His protection until the time He takes them unto himself, and according to His will. It is truly written "A prophet is not without honor save in his own country." When the Jews expected a grand worldly entrance of a mighty and powerful King, their king arrived in the humblest circumstances, born in a modest setting into a humble family.

Joseph Smith at least had the support of his family and a few close friends, although he was betrayed by many who had a high calling in the church. How would he be dealt with in the current times? In our society which considers itself progressing to levels of expertise and sophistication surpassing even wisdom from the Lord, a boy such as this would most likely be swarmed with college educated, degree laden "experts" eager to make a diagnosis for what would be called his "delusions." It is a fact that many esteemed members of today’s LDS Church take this same approach in analyzing their professed religious beliefs and church history, as if they were the subjects of a grand laboratory experiment.

As with the times of the pharisees and publicans of the New Testament Jewish church, the majority in the Mormon church would reject the boy Joseph Smith for not having proper authority conferred upon him from church leaders to receive revelation. He would be repudiated for not emerging from their popular leadership and obtaining their approval to be so worthy as to have a visitation from heaven without church leaders present. The Mormon Church leaders would reject him and refuse intelligent examination of his message for the same reasons Christians reject the Book of Mormon, for it would contradict their teachings of their own religious infallibility. For a boy such as Joseph Smith would proclaim the same gospel he preached close to two centuries earlier, which of course would be considered completely alien to much of what is now taught in the current LDS Church. If he was a member of an LDS family, they would seek counsel and guidance from their leaders to assist their son with his "imagination problem," for the stigma of standing in contrast and contradiction to though processes of other LDS members would be too much pressure to withstand, and the parents would likely succumb to the pressure of submitting the fate of the boy to the "experts." The pressure on this 14 year old to recant and say he made the story up would be unbearable. He would likely be referred to psychological experts and prescribed medication to treat what would be diagnosed a psychological disorder of delusions and an excessive imagination.

No expense would be spared in psychological and psychiatric testing and finding treatment and medication to help the "troubled" youth overcome his "belief" that he received a visitation. As they did in Joseph Smith’s time, modern Christian leaders would not take into account the fact of his being an innocent boy of young age, and ridicule him and mock the boy’s claims, persecuting the young boy rather than show him that understanding they would preach if another child walked away from their accepted teachings. With the "experts" firmly in place in today’s society, it is likely his story and message would never be received nor brought to the attention of the public; he would most likely be referred to a psychiatric institution as a case study to be detained and observed. Demonstrating what they referred to as "concern," those treating the boy would boast of their knowledge and their goodness, while their efforts to break down the boy’s mind would be relentless with tests and medication to purge the boy’s mind. His only recourse to avoid a life of degradation and abuse would be to recant and say he made up his story. Hateful mobs of violent detractors would demand that the resulting hundreds of pages of divinely intelligent scriptures be dismissed as a childhood prank, without sincere and objective examination of their content. And it is in this way that it has become possible that revelation and prophecy has been shut out from among the current people of the LDS Church.

Few people have retained the means to discern what truth is, because they don't realize what it means to have a true testimony of the true points of the Lord’s doctrine; if this were not the case then large numbers of Mormons would take the words of Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon more seriously, rather than pay them lip service. (A compilation of scriptural references on this topic is on the website cryfromthedust.net, "The Return of the Prophet Joseph Smith.")

The 15-17th verses of the 98th Section of the Doctrine and Covenants has been mentioned in previous issues, and it's literal meaning is very striking, concluding with "lest I come and smite the whole earth with a curse, and all flesh be consumed..." When we try to identify who in the world is truly serving the Lord, living and delivering His message, and trying to spread the true points of His gospel, this is a sobering thought indeed, that the thread connecting us to heaven and preserving the church and the world may come down to a very small number of righteous people, which numbers of the truly righteous conceivably may at times possibly be as few as one. Many are familiar with trials of the early Mormon church when most of the Mormons lived in Kirtland, when at the lowest point it was said there were only a "handful" of true saints on the face of the earth, if that many. Here is one of the last quotes from Joseph Smith to the Nauvoo Legion before going to Carthage: "You will gather many people into the vastnesses of the Rocky Mountains as a center for the gathering of the people, and you will be faithful because you have been true; and many of those that come under your ministry, because of their much learning, will seek for high positions, and they will raise themselves in eminence above you, but you will walk in low places unnoticed and you will know all that transpires in their midst, and those that are my friends will be your friends. This I will promise you, that when I come again to lead you forth, for I will go to prepare a place for you, so that where I am you shall be with me."

Quote from Brigham Young : "Brethren, this Church will be led onto the very brink of hell, by the leaders of this people– Then God will raise up the One Mighty and Strong– to save and redeem this Church." 1867 Provo Bowery Conference

‘And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up." Isaiah 28:4

"And thus commandeth the Father that I should say unto you: At that day when the Gentiles(Mormon Church) shall sin against my gospel, and shall reject the fulness of my gospel, and shall be lifted up in the pride of their hearts above all nations, and above all the people of the whole earth, and shall be filled with all manner of lyings, and of deceits, and of mischiefs, and all manner of hypocrisy, and murders, and priestcrafts, and whoredoms, and of secret abominations; and if they shall do all those things, and shall reject the fulness of my gospel, behold, saith the Father, I will bring the fulness of my gospel from among them. And then will I remember my covenant which I have made unto my people, O house of Israel(American Indians), and I will bring my gospel unto them. And I will show unto thee, O house of Israel, that the Gentiles shall not have power over you; but I will remember my covenant unto you, O house of Israel, and ye shall come unto the knowledge of the fulness of my gospel. But if the (Current LDS People)Gentiles will repent and return unto me, saith the Father, behold they shall be numbered among my people, O house of Israel.(Book of Mormon Chapter 16)

"And if ye seek the riches which it is the will of the Father to give unto you, ye shall be the richest of all people, for ye shall have the riches of eternity; and it must needs be that the riches of the earth are mine to give; but beware of pride, lest ye become as the Nephites of old." Doctrine and Covenants, 38:39

"The time is coming when we will be mixed up in these peaceful valleys to that extent that it will be difficult to tell the face of a Saint from the face of an enemy to the people of God. Then, brethren, look out for the great sieve, for there will be a great sifting time, and many will fall; There will be an entire separation of the sheep from the goats. For I say unto you, there is a test, a TEST, a TEST, coming, and who will be able to stand? No one will be able to endure on borrowed light. Only those that know for themselves that Jesus is the Christ will stand. They won’t be able to go to their leaders for advice, because their leaders will not be available. The Church will pass through a close place, but it will come through. The pressure will become so great that the more righteous among them will cry unto the Lord day and night until deliverance comes. Then the Prophet Joseph and others will make their appearance and those who have remained faithful will be selected to return to Jackson County, Missouri and take part in the upbuilding of that beautiful city, the New Jerusalem."

It is becoming evident that the Lord favors the American Indian people of this time and the power of the Lord will be with this people in restoring the lands of America to this covenant people of the Lord. And when this people become strong in the knowledge of God, it will be a time when those of the covenant people of the Lord who have escaped the judgements will build up a tremendous city to the Lord, and where peace will reign. During this time which is soon to come, it is primarily American Indian people who will carry out the honor of building this city, as they are the ones who are blessed with the power of the Lord to bring light and knowledge to the world now and in the future. The current LDS people now have the opportunity to repent and return to the true gospel they have departed from, so that there might be some small number of Gentiles that have sufficiently repented to maintain their hopes to be numbered with the Lord’s covenant people, the American Indians.

"For the time speedily cometh that the Lord God shall cause a great division among the people, and the wicked will he destroy; and he will spare his people, yea, even if it so be that he must destroy the wicked by fire.

We must avoid any false teachings in our paths, to avoid stumbling in our own errors in judgement, and to fall into the accepted teachings of the defective reasoning of men. Is there anyone who truly believes they have not at some point fallen into error and relied on the precepts of men instead of God? How many have humbled themselves in their own pride and self importance, to sufficiently be receptive to the guiding teachings of the Holy spirit available through our prayers? What has been done to discard errors and absurdities in those interpretations we have based on false assumptions? How much are we in fear of finding the courage to stand alone if necessary, to stand up for truth? We are all products of what has been taught to us, vulnerable to what we have learned in formal education, what we learn from societal mediums and who we associate with, and the traditions of our fathers.

They who seek to live in the truth of God are of the "weak things of the world" referred to in Doctrine and Covenants 35:12, for to exist in truth, one may find they unavoidably are forced to stand alone, in contradiction to the vain teachings of the world at large. Suppose it can be said that there is an honest person living on the earth today, who can claim they are not deceived in some way by the precepts of men; it can likely be proven they are not the leaders people in general look to as sources of knowledge and wisdom, for it is human nature to follow those that tell us what we want to hear; human nature tells us to shun those we feel may tell us truths which make us uncomfortable. Although it is unavoidable that we must rely on others for much of what we learn, we must be on guard to avoid and correct minor errors which when taken to heart lead to major errors in the paths we choose to follow.

We send our little children to school so that they can learn to blindly accept that which their teachers have themselves blindly accepted, definitions of truth emanating from the "experts" of what we call institutions of higher learning. The media of our society and our schools impart a whole new belief system to our children. A belief system that would qualify by every definition to be a religion, one which has been taught to us through "social engineering" and one which has been approved to be defined as truth by "consensus" of experts.

Immediately, our children are taught that the earth is not what the Bible teaches, and that life originated over absurd periods of time in incomprehensible and scientifically impossible ways. Therefore, our children learn new theories requiring an imagination and a blind faith, and they naturally trust that the messengers in their education will not deliver false information. Yet conveniently, no one is forced to prove the validity of the mental gymnastics of a so-called science which go far beyond any established religion in its demands for belief based on faith.

We are offered vague scientific explanations which rely on other vague and incomprehensive theories as proof. And after we take the vague theories to heart as fact, we are offered complex mathematical formulas as further proof, even though the basis of the complex formulas are assumptions rooted in the vague theories we came to question in the first place. And by the complex formulas which are based on the weak scientific theories, even the intelligent and the educated can be shouted down for not being able to clearly discuss the impossibilities of the impossible, should they dare to question the validity of the science it is rooted in. It is only the very rare and infrequent questioning individuals who by chance are inquisitive enough to delve into the results of the scientific formulas; and only then is it discovered the extent that error ratios of staggering proportions are considered acceptable, simply because they are based on faulty assumptions to begin with. And as average and even educated thinkers become perplexed in attempts to comprehend the complexities of those formulas which are usually only partially explained to us, most of us yield to what we consider to be a higher scientific understanding of the purported experts of knowledge.

We willingly place our trust and the fate of our children’s minds and souls into the hands of a system crafted by those cunning experts who perpetuate these deceptions on us, for most of us do not know to examine the absurdities used as a basis in the science and the formulas we allow to guide our society. This information is taught religiously, until the teachings of our schools become the unofficial state imposed religion, so that our children will learn to reject those truths and that wisdom which comes from the Lord.

A translated being, one of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. He whose calling it is to record and write history, not that which is conceived by the popular opinions and revisions of weak men, but that which the Lord has decreed will adhere to the truth. For many prophets have seen those things that will come, but have been forbidden to write what they have been shown.

Various reports of a man seem to follow the same pattern. A chance encounter with the well-mannered elderly man who may appear to be in his mid seventies but sometimes may appear more youthful. This man may unexpectedly show up on one’s doorstep to home or business and make a simple request or offer; he may in kindness offer to do a simple task. He converses in an unusual manner, speaking in religious parables which may seem strange to those listening. He then will leave a blessing upon the building or dwelling and its occupants if he was invited into it. Upon leaving, the moment he is out the door and out of sight he vanishes; those who have tried to come watch which direction he went find no trace of him in any direction in the moments after he has left the building. He speaks as a man coming from a point of reference of knowing nothing but truth, to a world where truth is in serious danger of extinction.

"An old man makes an appearance at a small café and orders a cup of coffee. He quickly draws attention to himself, for although he behaves graciously, most of what he speaks is in peculiar religious parables, which arouses the curiosity of those close enough to notice. The woman who owns the business describes him to be approximately 5'11" with a wiry build, a man appearing to be in his seventies, but very energetic in nature.

Another account:

"An elderly man approaches a young man waiting for a bus one morning in Salt Lake City, making statements such as "some people want it all" (meaning they cheated others) and stating strange religious parables such as "the fools, they think it is the end when they go down in the pit," and "worms turn into butterflies, there you have the resurrection," the impression being an ugly worm limited to crawling, transformed into a beautiful butterfly which could fly in freedom. The statement is meant to be a comparison to mortals having something better in the resurrection.

A prophet in the Book of Mormon was shown all things and told his people of these latter days, and spoke of the New Jeruselam to be built soon by the American Indians:
