Aaronic Endowment
–Part #
2 A New
Dispensation Zion’s redemption. Of about 10 or 12 parts. I don’t know yet how
many. We shall begin this search for the truth
with statements by the Prophet Joseph Smith. Millions do not
know what he said.
And millions more don’t believe it
even when they read what he said.
So I present just a few of his statements. Pay
attention to the "Quotes." He said:
“One of the grand
fundamental principles of "Mormonism" is to receive
truth, let it come from whence it may.”

Prophet Joseph Smith page no.

“Many objections are urged against the
Latter-day Saints for not admitting
the validity of sectarian baptism, and for
withholding fellowship from sectarian churches. Yet to do otherwise would be like putting new wine into old bottles,
and putting old wine into new
bottles. What! new revelations in the old churches? New revelations would
knock out the bottom of their bottomless pit. New wine into old
bottles! The bottles burst and the wine runs out! What! Sadducees in the new church! Old wine in new leathern bottles will leak through
the pores and escape. So the Sadducee saints mock
at authority, kick out of the traces, and run to the mountains of
perdition, leaving the long echo of their braying behind them.” TPJS

“Men who
have no principle
of righteousness in themselves, and whose
hearts are full of iniquity, and have no
desire for the principles of truth, do
not understand the word of truth when they hear it. The
devil taketh away the word of truth out of their hearts, because
there is no desire for righteousness in
them. "But he that receiveth seed in stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon, with
joy receiveth it; yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while; for when tribulation or
persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by, he is offended.
He also that receiveth seed among the thorns, is he that heareth the word;
and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word,
and he becometh unfruitful. But he that received seed into the good
ground, is he that heareth the word, and
understandeth it, which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth,
some an hundred fold, some sixty, some thirty."
Thus the Savior
Himself explains unto His disciples the parable which He put forth,
and left no mystery or darkness upon the minds of those who firmly believe
on His words.” TPJS 95
See Matthew 13
and the parable as Jesus spoke it.
“When things that are of the greatest
importance are passed over by the
weak-minded men without even a thought, I want to see truth in
all its bearings and hug it to my bosom. I believe all that God ever
revealed, and I
never hear of a man being damned for believing too much; but they are damned for unbelief.”
TPJS 374
Millions of Christian’s scoff at the Mormon belief that
men can become like God is. Jesus said “Be ye therefore perfect even as your
Father which is in heaven is perfect.” Matthew 5:48 But millions are too smart to believe him.
So Joseph said: ”They found
fault with Jesus Christ because He said He was
the Son of God, and made Himself equal with God. They say of me,
like they did of the Apostles of old, that I must be put down. What did Jesus say? "Is it
not written in your law, I said, Ye are Gods? If He called them Gods
unto whom the word of God came, and the Scriptures cannot be
broken, say ye of Him whom the Father hath sanctified and sent into
the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said I am the Son of
God?" It was through Him that they drank of the
spiritual rock. Of course He would take the honor to Himself. Jesus, if
they were called Gods unto whom the word of God came, why should it be
thought blasphemy that I should say I am the Son of God?”
TPJS 374
See John 10: 33-36 "The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone
thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest
thyself God. 34 Jesus
answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said,
Ye are
gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God
came, and the scripture cannot be
broken; 36 Say ye of him, whom the Father
hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I
said, I am the Son of God?
John 10:33 - 36
Psalm 82: 6 "I
have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the
most High. 7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the
princes. Psalms
82:
6 - 7
Exodus 7: 1 "AND the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be
thy prophet. 2 Thou shalt speak all that
I command thee: and Aaron thy
brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out
of his land." Exodus 7:

Isaiah
41: 21-23 "That
they may see, and know, and consider, and
understand together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and
the Holy One of Israel hath created it. Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the
King of Jacob.
22 Let
them bring them forth, and shew us what shall
happen: let them shew the former things,
what they be, that we may consider
them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to
come. 23 Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or
do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together." Isaiah 41:20 - 23
"Here, then, is eternal
life—to know the only wise and true God; and you have got to
learn how to be Gods yourselves, and to be
kings and priests to God, the same as all
Gods have done before you, namely, by
going from one small degree to another, and from a small capacity
to a great one; from grace to grace, from exaltation to exaltation, until you attain to the resurrection of the
dead, and are able to dwell in everlasting burnings, and to sit in glory,
as do those who sit enthroned in everlasting power.” TPJS 346-347 God’s glory is hot.
”Go and read the vision in the Book of
Covenants. There is clearly illustrated glory upon glory—one
glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and a glory of the stars; and
as one star differeth from another star in glory, even so do they of the
telestial world differ in glory, and every man who reigns in celestial
glory is a God to his dominions. By the apostates
admitting the testimony of the Doctrine and Covenants they damn
themselves.” TPJS 374

D&C 82:10
“The Saints in Jackson County and other
localities, refused to
comply with the order of consecration, consequently they were
allowed to be driven from their inheritances; and should not return
until
they were better prepared to keep the law of God, by being more perfectly taught in reference to their
duties, and learn of obedience. And I
think we are not justified in anticipating the privilege of returning to
build the center stake of Zion, until we shall
have shown obedience to the law of consecration. One thing,
however, is certain, we shall not be
permitted to enter the land from whence we were expelled, till our hearts are prepared to honor this law, and we
become sanctified through the practice of the truth." Lorenzo Snow, Journal of Discourses 16:
276.
"While thus
encamped on Fishing River the Lord also in this revelation emphasized the
fact that the Kirtland Temple was not to be delayed but built unto his
name. He had promised the brethren an endowment,
those who were faithful. This temple had to be built so that this
endowment could be given. At the end of the journey of this Zion's Camp,
the Lord named some of the faithful brethren whom he had appointed to
receive this endowment." Church History and Modern
Revelation, 2: 6 Joseph Fielding Smith
On November 12, 1835, Joseph Smith told
the Twelve: "The endowment you are so anxious about, you cannot
comprehend now, nor could Gabriel explain it to the understanding of your
dark minds" Documentary History of the
Church 2:309 DHC 2:309
Time was needed to prepare
their minds for such an event, and it was several years before such
preparation was complete. On May 4, 1842,
the Prophet instructed a select few in the "washings, anointings,
endowments" and other pertinent matters pertaining to the plan of
salvation. Joseph said:
"The communications I made to this council were of things
spiritual, and to be received only by the
spiritual minded: and there was nothing made known to these men but what
will be made known to all the Saints of the last days, so soon as they are prepared to receive, and a
proper place is prepared to communicate them …; therefore let the Saints
be diligent in building the Temple, and all houses which they have been,
or shall hereafter be, commanded of God to build." Documentary History of the Church 5:1-2
The definition of an
endowment was given by President Brigham Young as follows: "Your endowment is, to
receive all those ordinances
in the House of the Lord, which are necessary
for you, after you have departed this life, to enable you to walk
back to the presence of the Father, passing the
angels who stand as sentinels, being enabled to give them the key words,
the signs and tokens, pertaining to the Holy Priesthood, and gain your eternal exaltation in spite of earth
and hell" Journal of Discourses 2:31
People are told that things are only based upon their faithfulness to the end. Most just
quit too soon.
An Endowment generally is a gift,
but in a specialized sense it is a course
of instruction, ordinances, and covenants given only in dedicated
temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The words "to endow" (from the Greek enduein), as used
in the New Testament, mean to dress, clothe, put on garments, put on
attributes, or receive virtue, and
knowledge. Christ instructed his apostles to tarry at Jerusalem
"until ye be endued with power from on high" (Luke 24:49), a promise fulfilled, at least in
part, on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2). In modern times, a
similar revelation was given: "I gave unto you a commandment that you
should build a house, in the which house I design to endow those whom I
have chosen with power on high; for this is the promise of the Father unto
you; therefore I command you to tarry, even as mine apostles at
Jerusalem" Doctrine and Covenants
95:8-9
Endowment Houses "An
Endowment house is a building or place where
certain temple ordinances may be administered, outside of the temple itself. Moses erected a tabernacle in the wilderness as a
"temporary temple"; by analogy, so did the Prophet Joseph Smith.
Before the Nauvoo Temple was completed,
the large upper room of Joseph Smith's red-brick store building in Nauvoo,
Illinois, was used to confer the first
temple ordinances on a few leaders of the Church on May 4, 1842, and then
on their wives. These
ordinances, called endowments, consisted of a course of instruction and
rites that included prayers, washings, anointings, and the making of covenants with the Lord
Jesus Christ." Encyclopedia of Mormonism, Vol. 2 ENDOWMENT HOUSES
“All men who become heirs of God and joint heirs with Jesus
Christ will have to receive the fulness of the
ordinances of his kingdom; and those who
will not receive all the ordinances will come short of the fullness
of that glory, if they do not lose the whole.” TPJS 309
“For there is not a place found on
earth that he may come to and restore again that
which was lost unto you, or which he hath taken away, even the fulness of the priesthood.”
Doctrine and Covenants 124: 28
“For I deign (condescend to give) to
reveal unto my church things which have been
kept hid from before the foundation of the world, things that pertain to the dispensation of the
fulness of times.” Doctrine and
Covenants
124:41
Few will believe me that I
have been given a dispensation of things; until the missiles and bombs begin to kill millions.
It is now
March 8, 2002 and the dispensation of the past 1000 years is past. We are
in a new Millennium. A New Dispensation. Joseph later stated that:
"if a man gets a fullness of
the priesthood of God, he has to get it in the same way that Jesus Christ
obtained it, and that was by keeping all the commandments
and obeying all the ordinances of the house of the Lord"
TPJS

"The Latter-day
Saints occasionally used A “Mountaintop” as their
temporary temple, and President Brigham Young dedicated Ensign Peak, a hill just north
of Salt Lake City, Utah, as a "natural temple."
Though Brigham Young designated a temple site in Salt
Lake Valley on July 28, 1847, just four days after his arrival, the temple
took forty years to build. In the meantime, the upper floor of the Council
House, Salt Lake City's first public building, served 2,222 members of the
Church as their Endowment house between February 21, 1851, and May 5,
1855." Encyclopedia
of Mormonism, Vol. 2: 56
October 6, 1849 “Addison Pratt, who had been a faithful elder for many
years, but on account of his absence on previous missions in the South
Pacific Islands had not had an opportunity to
receive the endowment ceremonies of the temple, was taken to the summit of Ensign Peak and there received
those sacred ordinances, the mountain
being dedicated especially for that purpose. This action was in harmony with
the instructions of the Prophet in Nauvoo when he said that these ordinances of the temple under
certain circumstances might be obtained on the mountain top, as Moses did
them.” Comprehensive
History of the Church 3:386-387
The problem with Mountaintops is that only one
person at a time can be endowed. That is the law of God.
Sunday, May 1, 1842.—“I preached in the grove, on the keys of the
kingdom, charity, &c. The keys are certain signs and words by which
false spirits and personages may be detected from true, which
cannot be revealed to the Elders till the Temple is completed. The rich can only get them in the Temple, the poor
may get
them on the mountain top as did Moses. The rich cannot be saved
without charity, giving to feed the poor when and how God requires, as
well as building. There are signs in
heaven, earth and hell; the Elders must know
them all, to be endowed with power, to finish their
work and prevent imposition. The devil knows many signs, but does not know
the sign of the Son of Man, or Jesus. No
one can truly say he knows God until he
has handled something, and this can only be in the holiest of
holies.” Joseph Smith Documentary History of the Church 4: 608

So there are
signs and
you haven’t had enough Aaronic endowment to
know the signs for all of the tribes of
Israel. You have to give the correct sign
to get in the gate. That is why the angels
are guarding it. The 12 Gates for
the 12 tribes of Israel. That is what your Bible says. Scoffers now
revile what I tell you.
Revelation 21:10 tells
us: ”And he carried me away in
the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending
out of heaven from God, 11 Having the
glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like
a jasper stone, clear as crystal; 12 And had a
wall great and high, and had twelve gates,
and at the gates twelve
angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
(NOW in 2017 people Hate Trumps' Idea of a WALL on the Mexican Border. The same people
will cuss God for HIS WALL around the HOLY City. - So go to hell I say.
TRUMP build the WALL. GOD thinks that he has a better plan to keep people out. )
13 On
the east three gates; on the north three
gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.”
Revelation 21: 10 -13

People
talk about Saint Peter at the Pearly Gate of the City. So you won’t get in through the gate? Unless you
can give the proper signs and tokens for your tribe. If you are going to
get in you will have to go in through the gate for your tribe. Why are the gates there if anyone could get
in? The scriptures are loaded with
symbols for a good reasons, to teach you truth.

Some
people say we have all there is, that we
don’t need any more revelations. Those ignorant
folks don’t believe the Articles of Faith that Joseph stated:
“We believe in
the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the
New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will
reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and
receive its paradisiacal glory.” The Tenth Article of Faith tells about
Israel CLICK HERE

I’ll bet that most people can’t
even name
all of the tribes, or really know
what tribe they really belong to. What
Gate they
must go through and the
signs for that tribe,
to get in the City.
“We believe all
that God has revealed, all that He does now
reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many
great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.”

comprehensive view of our condition and true relation to God" (TPJS 324), "to prepare the disciples for their
missions in the world" (TPJS 274),
to prevent being "overcome by evils" (TPJS
259), to enable them to "secure the fulness of those blessings which have been
prepared for the Church of the Firstborn" (TPJS

”The Melchizedek Priesthood comprehends
the Aaronic or Levitical Priesthood, and is the grand head, and holds the
highest authority which pertains to the priesthood, and the keys of the Kingdom of God in all ages of the
world to the latest posterity on the earth; and
is the channel through which all
knowledge, doctrine, the plan of salvation and every important matter
is revealed from heaven.“ TPJS 166-167
(Does it
seem odd to you that the Nuclear Attack and death of millions is
not important enough
for God to tell the Mormon Church leaders about? IF the leaders had a good Aaronic
endowment they would understand that they have no Melchizedek
Priesthood. But they are ignorant of that. Too much pride to learn until
too late. To understand about the Kingdom.)
TOO BAD
THOSE POOR CHAPS, the leaders HAD NOTHING
REVEALED TO THEM AND SO MILLIONS OF THEIR LDS CHURCH MEMBERS WILL DIE. By
millions.
Can you understand yet that those
fellows have no Priesthood?

Priesthood.
The temple is to become a house of revelation whereby one is
instructed more perfectly "in theory, in principle, and in doctrine"
Doctrine and Covenants 97:14
Too bad for
millions of people, that there has been nothing
revealed to church leaders.
“Behold, this is the tithing
and the sacrifice which I, the Lord, require at
their hands, that there may be a house built unto me for the salvation of Zion-- 13 For a place
of thanksgiving for all saints, and for a place
of instruction for all those who are called to the work of
the ministry in all their several callings and offices;
(There are more than 100 Temples now, scattered around
the world and none of them is giving the proper
instructions for the Mormon people.) 14 That they
may be perfected in the understanding of
their ministry, in theory, in principle, and in
doctrine, in all things pertaining to the kingdom of God on the
earth, the keys of which kingdom have been conferred upon
you.” D&C 97:12 –

Kingdom. Find the Truth.
“You need an
endowment, brethren, in order that you may be prepared and able to overcome all
things; and those that reject your
testimony will be damned.” TPJS 91
The Leaders changed the ordinances as Isaiah
foretold:
”The earth also is defiled
under the inhabitants thereof; because
they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. 6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and
they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few
men left.” Isaiah 24:5 – 6 (11 Million degree Nuclear fire will burn millions. It’s hot!)
Most Mormons today don’t even realize
what they have lost. People don’t realize that
the changes came about because of
complaints from the women. Just like in 1890 when Polygamy was
forsaken. My family can all tell you that I am a
man who really loves women, yet I have to admit that Isaiah
3:12-to-4:5 tells us the reason that Mystery Babylon is a Woman in Revelation 17:
3-7 and many other places.
The Women
will get their way and millions will die, horrible deaths. It all began 6000 years ago when Eve did it
her own way. I’m sure you don’t like the facts I tell
you, and millions could not see the facts about
O. J. Simpson. At the recent Olympics,
the Russian people couldn’t see the mistakes
that even I saw in their pairs-skaters. But that’s OK, millions will be
gone soon. The Millennium will change things. Do Facts Matter to
you? What do you think of all
of the "Quotes?" CLICK HERE to see some of the
truth.
There is no Lecture at the Veil that Brigham
Young had carefully recorded word for word. The oath of vengeance no
longer exists. No covenant to obey the law of sacrifice as contained in the Old and New Testaments is gone. Women
don’t covenant to obey the righteous law of their husband. Temple divorces
abound just like others. There are no true sealings for eternity. No true
2nd. Endowments even spoken about. Millions will die of the
penalties that are no longer included in the modern ceremony. Thank the
leaders for bowing to the public pressure. Many people don’t even
understand what I’m talking about. Except a few old timers who are honest
about it. No revelations, no visions, no prophecy;
just pay here an go to a place and feel like you are something special.
The tokens and symbols themselves are not so sacred or special, only that
they help to convey ideas and concepts to a person. Like when you see
Golden Arches of Mc Donald’s, you think of a Big Mac.
People can’t really
have an endowment unless they understand the purpose and meaning for God’s
commandments. Yet the Temple group is a
nice exclusive club, huh! Don’t worry it will all be over soon. God will
rule.
See if you
have any endowment yet. Like the Aaronic Priest Ezekiel said: “The word of the LORD came
expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of
Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of
the LORD was there upon him. 4 And I looked, and, behold, a
whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a
fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of
the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the
midst of the fire. 5 Also out of
the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And
this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a
man. 6 And every one had four faces, and
every one had four wings. 7 And their
feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of
a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the
colour of burnished brass. 8 And they had the
hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four
had their faces and their
wings. 9 Their wings were joined one to
another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight
forward.
10 As for the
likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a
lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face
of an eagle. 11 Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched
upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered
their bodies.
12 And they went every one straight
forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when
they went. 13 As for the likeness of the living
creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of
fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among
the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out
of the fire went forth lightning.
14 And the living creatures ran and
returned as the appearance of a flash of
lightning. 15 Now as I beheld the living creatures,
behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces.
16 The appearance of the wheels and
their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one
likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in
the middle of a wheel. 17 When they went, they went upon their
four sides: and they turned not when they went.
18 As for their rings, they were so high
that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four. 19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels went
by them: and when the living creatures were
lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.” Ezekiel
1:3 – 19 What are those
beasts?

for you now.
“Jesus said
to his disciples, to them it was given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of
heaven, but to them that were without, it
was not given. If we were to examine the
subject closely, we should learn that a very scanty portion of the
things of the kingdom were ever revealed, even to the disciples. If we
were prepared to gaze upon the mysteries of the kingdom, as they are with
God, we should then know that only a very small portion of them has been
handed out here and there.” Journal of Discourses 1
: 263 Brigham Young
"What is the object of our coming into existence,
then dying and falling away, to be here no more? It is
but reasonable to suppose that God would reveal something in reference to
the matter, and it is a subject we ought to study more than any
other. We ought to study it day and night, for
the world is ignorant in reference to their true condition and relation.
If we have any claim on our Heavenly Father for anything, it is for
knowledge on this important subject.
Could we read and comprehend
all that has been written from the days of Adam, on the relation of man to
God and angels in a future state, we should know very little about it.
Reading the experience of others, or the revelation
given to them, can never give us a comprehensive view of our condition and
true relation to God. Knowledge of these things can only be obtained by
experience through the ordinances of God set forth for that
purpose. Could you gaze into heaven five
minutes, you would know more than you would by reading all that
ever was written on the subject. We are only capable of comprehending
that certain things exist, which we may acquire by certain fixed
principles. If men would acquire salvation, they
have got to be subject, before they leave this world, to certain rules and
principles, which were fixed by an unalterable decree before the world
was. The disappointment of hopes and expectations at the
resurrection would be indescribably dreadful." TPJS
