Three Grand Orders
"There are three
grand orders of priesthood referred to here.
1st.
The King of Shiloam (Salem) had power and authority
over
that of Abraham, holding the
key and the power of endless life.
Angels desire to look into it,
but they have set up too many stakes.
God cursed the children of Israel
because
they would not receive the last law from Moses. (They
just received the judgment law, huh! Just like millions now, today in 2003 – who
receive the judgments of the law
because they will not receive the last
law.)
The sacrifice required
of Abraham in the offering up of Isaac, shows that
if a man would attain
to the keys of the kingdom of an endless life;
he must sacrifice all things.
When God offers a blessing
or knowledge to a man,
and he refuses to receive it, he will be damned.
The Israelites prayed that God would speak to Moses and
not to them;
in consequence of which he cursed them with a carnal law.
What was the power of
Melchizedek? 'Twas not the Priesthood of
Aaron which administers in outward ordinances, and the offering of sacrifices.
Those holding the fulness
of the Melchizedek Priesthood
are
kings and
priests of the Most High
God, holding the keys of
power and blessings. In fact, that
Priesthood is a perfect law of
theocracy,
and stands as God to give laws to the
people, administering endless lives to the sons and daughters of Adam.

So do you
“really” believe
what Jesus Christ said
about sacrifice:
“And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you,
That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration
when the
Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve
thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

29
And every one that
hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or
children, or lands, for my name's sake,
shall receive an hundredfold,
and shall inherit everlasting life.
30
But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.”
Matthew 19:
28-30
AH! Come on now. Do you really believe what Jesus said?
Do you really want everlasting life with 100
times the blessings? OR
do you just give lip service to
the commandments. Hypocrites can
CLICK HERE to see.
Abraham says to Melchizedek, I
believe all
that thou hast taught me concerning the
priesthood and the coming of the Son of Man; so
Melchizedek ordained Abraham and sent him away. Abraham rejoiced, saying,
Now I have a priesthood.
(A Priesthood)
The Mission of Elijah
Salvation could not come to the world
without the mediation of Jesus Christ.
How shall God
come
to the rescue of this generation?
He will send Elijah the prophet. (He has.) The law revealed to Moses in Horeb never was revealed to the children
of Israel as a nation.
Elijah shall reveal the covenants
to seal the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the children to the
fathers.
The anointing and sealing
is to
be called, elected and
made sure.
Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of
days nor end of life,
but made like unto the Son of God,
(a king)
abideth
a priest continually." The
Melchizedek
Priesthood holds the right from the eternal God, and
not by
descent from father and mother; and that priesthood is as eternal as God
Himself, having neither beginning of days nor end of life.
The 2nd Priesthood is Patriarchal authority. Go to and finish the temple, and God will fill it with power, and you will then receive more knowledge concerning this priesthood.
The 3rd is what is called the Levitical (Aaronic) Priesthood, consisting of priests to administer in outward ordinances, made without an oath; but the Priesthood of Melchizedek is by an oath and covenant. The Holy Ghost is God's messenger to administer in all those priesthoods.
Jesus Christ is the heir of this
Kingdom—the Only Begotten of the Father
according to the flesh, and holds the keys over all this world.
Men have to suffer that they may come upon
Mount Zion and be exalted above the heavens.
I know a man that
has been caught up to the third heavens,
and can say, with Paul, that we have seen and heard
things that are not lawful to utter. (Aug. 27, 1843.) Documentary History of
the Church 5:554-556
Instructions Respecting Plurality of Wives
In the afternoon, rode to the prairie to show
some of the brethren some land. Evening, at home, and walked up and down the
streets with my scribe. Gave instructions to try those persons who were
preaching, teaching, or practicing the doctrine of plurality of wives;
for, according
to the law, I hold the keys
of
this power in
the last days; for there is
never but
one
on earth at a time
on whom the power and its keys are conferred;
and I
have constantly said no man shall have but one wife at a time,
unless
the Lord directs otherwise. (October 5,
1843.)--DHC 6:46 Teachings
of the Prophet Joseph Smith page 321

my sanctified
ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that
rejoice in my highness.” Isaiah 13: 1-3

To Gain Salvation the Laws of God
Must Be Obeyed
I * * * spoke to the
people, showing them that
to get salvation we must not only do some things,
but everything
which God has commanded. Men
may preach and practice everything except
those things which God commands us to do,
and
will be damned at last. We may tithe mint
and rue, and all manner of herbs, and still not obey the commandments of
God. The object with me is to obey and teach others to obey God in just
what He tells us
to do. It mattereth not whether the principle is popular or unpopular, I will
always maintain a true principle,
even if I stand alone in it.

“I want every man that goes to
be a
king
and a priest.
When
he gets on the mountains, he may want
to
talk
with his God; when with the savage nations
have power to govern, &c. If we don't get volunteers, wait till after the
election." (Feb. 23, 1844.) DHC 6:224 TPJS 332
“All are bound by the principles of virtue and happiness, but
one
great privilege of the Priesthood
is
to obtain revelations
of the mind and
will of God. It is also
the privilege of the Melchizedek Priesthood, to
reprove, rebuke, and admonish,
as
well as
to receive
revelation.
If the Church knew all the commandments, one-half they would condemn through
prejudice and ignorance.” TPJS
111
(The LDS authorities have
no revelation
for the past 100 years. Because they gave up the keys to revelations.
So what if an organization goes
100 years without revelation? Because it has
given up polygamy, and the
keys to kings and
revelations.
So what if some man rebukes, reproves, admonishes, and exposes errors?)

He sought me out when a stranger, took me to his home, encouraged and cheered
me, and gave me money. He has been a most intimate friend.
I anointed him to the patriarchal
power—to receive the
keys
of knowledge and power,
by revelation
to himself.”

Now we continue with
Isaiah: “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. (They come
from Russia.)
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.
(Over
the North pole, to destroy the
USA!)
6
Howl ye; for the day of the LORD
is
at hand; it shall come as a destruction
from
the Almighty. (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.
(Even children
as sinners.)
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.
12
I will
make a man more precious than fine gold;
even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
(1/10/2003 Gold @ $354 per ounce.
That makes me at 240# worth about $ 1,360,000 dollars.)
13
Therefore I will shake the
heavens,
and
the earth shall remove out of her place,
in the wrath
of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
(Now that you know what will cause the
‘shaking’
you understand more.
Big holes on the ground,
and the earth removed out of her place, in the
wrath.)
14
And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up:
they shall every man turn to his own people,
and flee every one into his own land. (So where did your
ancestors live? Not in Africa I hope.)
15
Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and
every one that is joined unto them shall fall
by the sword.
16
Their children also shall be
dashed
to pieces before their eyes; their houses
shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.
(Do you really want to see that happen?
I have cried.)
17
Behold, I will stir up the Medes
(Russians)
against them, which shall
not regard
silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.
(arrows)
18 Their
bows (Missiles)
also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have
no pity on the fruit of
the womb; their eye shall not spare children.
(Radiation

19
And Babylon, the glory of
kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees'
excellency, shall be as when God
overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.”
Isaiah 13:
1-19
(God burned Sodom like USA
will burn.)
No more Christmas Season and Super
sales.
“And the kings of
the earth, who have committed fornication
and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and
lament for her,
when they shall see the
smoke of her burning,
10 Standing afar off for
the fear of her torment, saying,
Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city!
for in one hour is thy judgment come. (Boom! --- Christmas no more!)
11
And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over
her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more.”
Revelation 18:
9-11
“Inquires one—"Do you really
believe that such judgments are coming upon our nation?" I do not merely
believe, but I know it,
just as well as I knew, twenty-eight years before
it commenced, that there would be
war
between the North and the South. We knew that by a revelation which God gave
through his servant Joseph Smith,
twenty-eight years
(28) before the war
of the rebellion commenced; and it was
published in the languages of various nations years and
years before the war was inaugurated, and it took place precisely
according to the words of the Prophet, and
it began in the very locality specified in the revelation,
namely, South Carolina. We know that these
judgments are coming with the same certainty that we knew concerning the war of
the rebellion.
(It has been
28 years since
my plane crash.
CLICK HERE)
But there will be a
chance to escape from these judgments for all who are willing to gather to the
place of refuge which God has appointed in the mountains; all people can
rally and gather to that place if they wish to do so. This is spoken of in many
places.
Let us turn to the fifth chapter of Isaiah, and see what is said there,
concerning the ensign.
In the 26th verse we read—"And he will lift up an ensign to the nations
from afar, and will hiss unto them from the ends
of the earth; and behold they shall come with speed
swiftly."
An ensign for the nations lifted up from afar! Isaiah,
where were you when you delivered that prophecy? In Palestine. What land would
be far off from Palestine where you resided? I think this American continent
would be about as far off as almost any portion of the globe.
When the Lord commences this message it will be
sent from the nation "afar off" to the ends of the earth;
and there will be a gathering
connected with it, of that people who shall come with speed swiftly.
The Prophet probably did not know the nature and power of steam in the days to
which he referred, and that the gathering would be effected by means of
steamboats and railroads; but he did understand that there would be some
very swift method of conveyance. He did not understand the meaning of railroads,
and many things connected with them, for they are a modern invention, and the
terms used in designating them are also of modern origin. But he saw in vision
that people should come with
speed swiftly from the ends of the earth,
when the Lord should hiss unto them. (Orson
Pratt in
“1875”
didn’t know of Airliners.)
He, of course, described the events he saw in the best language at his command.
In his sixty-second chapter, Isaiah says—
"Go through, go through the gates;
prepare the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the
stones; lift up a standard for the people. Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto
the end of the world. Say ye to
the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh;
behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him." It seems then that he
did describe something about making these railroads. "But," inquires one, "what
did he mean by saying 'go through, go through the gates?'"
I do not know.
(CLICK
HERE
see what I said about the
gates.)
Probably he did not understand what a tunnel was in those days, but when he saw
in vision a long train of cars, without any animal power to draw them,
dart into the mountain, and emerge on the opposite side
of the mountain, I do not know that he could describe it in any better language
than by saying—"Go through, go through
the
gates;"
and then, when he wanted to represent the smoothness of the railroads, I do not
know that he could do it any better than by saying—
"Cast up a highway, gather out the stones," etc.
(Have you understood about the
Gates on my link above
yet?)
With the casting up of this highway a
proclamation was to be made. How extensive? In one region of country? Oh, no.
"Behold, the Lord has proclaimed unto the ends of the world, behold thy
salvation cometh, his reward is with him, and his work before him." What else?
"They shall call
them the holy
people." What people? Why, the people that
should lift up the standard spoken of in the preceding verse. Lift up a standard
for the people, prepare the way for the
people; behold they shall call thee the
redeemed
of the Lord;
thou shalt be called, sought out,
a city not forsaken.
Jerusalem was not sought out, neither has it been
a city not forsaken.
Every one knows that Jerusalem was in existence before Joshua led the people
into the land of Canaan, it was an ancient
city among the heathen
before it was conquered and taken possession of
by the house of Israel.
And everyone knows that Jerusalem was to be forsaken for a good many centuries
before the generation should come that this proclamation should be made, or this
highway should be cast up, or the ensign should be raised upon the mountains,
when the people should be called a holy people, the redeemed of the Lord,
called, sought out, a city not forsaken, etc. (So
where are the heathen cities today? The cities
that are
forsaken? They get the Nuclear Warheads! and get to
burn like Sodom!)
I can bear testimony, so can a great many other
men, that when we came here in the summer of
1847, and
sought out this city, the
headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints,
we sought it out by the Spirit of the Lord, the Spirit of revelation which
rested upon us, and we were guided by that Spirit. We did not lay out a little
narrow tract of land, half a mile square, but understanding the purposes of God
in some measure, we laid out this city with broad streets, and extended it over
an area of several square miles, and as you see it at the present time. Why did
we take this course? Because we knew by the Spirit of God that rested upon us,
the great work that the Lord our God intended to accomplish here in the midst of
the desert.
We new that he would gather
his people from
the various nations and
establish them here in Zion, as a standard or ensign to the nations, that as
many as would might gather here
before the
judgments should come. Read the
11th chapter of Isaiah about this same ensign.
"It shall come to pass in that day that the Lord shall set his hand again the
second time to recover the remnants of his people, which shall be left, from
Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and
from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. And he shall set
up an ensign for the nations, and
shall assemble the outcasts of Israel,
and gather together the dispersed of Judah
from
the four corners of the earth."
(I will have Aussie wives, French wives,
Irish wives, all tribes wives.)
CLICK
HERE to see where the tribes are today. See
Mormon 8:40 where you may get many wives too!
Before Judah and the ten tribes of Israel could ever be gathered
an ensign
has
to be (future in “1875”)
lifted up for the nations.
Not for Judah and Israel alone,
but for the nations afar off,
for the Gospel has been
restored for the benefit of
the Gentiles—every nations, kindred,
tongue and people—as well as
for the benefit of the dispersed tribes of Israel.
(Internet
= for the nations afar off. They
can see this web site, I get emails from all over the world.)
So far the work has progressed, so far the Lord
our God has stretched forth his hand to
establish his kingdom
upon the earth. But what is the destiny of this kingdom? Read the Prophets; hear
what Daniel says.
The Church is not the Kingdom.
CLICK HERE
He saw the kingdom of the latter days,
which, in its commencement, was like a stone cut out of the mountains
without hands,
(God does his own work)
become a great mountain and fill not only the American continent, but the whole
earth. What else does Daniel
say? "And the kingdom,
and the dominion and the greatness of
the kingdom
under the whole heavens shall be given into the hands of the Saints of the Most
High, for his kingdom is an everlasting
kingdom, and it shall stand forever."
It seems then that this is the destiny of
this kingdom.
If you want to know the destiny of the nations of our globe, it is this—one
government, one kingdom, not half a dozen empires, republics, and this, that and
the other governments, but one kingdom, everlasting in its nature, will have
dominion over the whole of our globe. But are you not
committing treason to preach in this way? If such predictions mean treason,
perhaps it would be well enough to get out an indictment against the Prophet
Daniel and other ancient Prophets, and bring them up and try them, and see if
they are treasonable characters or not.
We are preaching their words;
and if it is treason to preach
the Bible, would it not be a good plan to
burn it up, and not have such things for the people to read and preach about?
But if we have the liberty in this glorious land of ours, to believe the Bible
and the prophecies it contains, have we
not also the liberty to tell them from that good Book what is going to take
place on the face of the earth?
I think so. And I have, this afternoon, as
simply as I know how, in the simplest language I have at my command, endeavored
to convey to your judgments and understandings that
which God has spoken by the mouths of his ancient Prophets, that you may know
what he is now doing, and what he intends to do until the consummation
determined upon is performed upon all the face of the earth,
and
the elect gathered
out from the four winds of heaven. Amen.”
Journal of Discourses
17: 319-321
(So now you have decided to live
on into the future I suppose. That’s a natural response.
So what is necessary to
get a promise from God
that you will have the blessings of heaven? I could
make a list of the Bible commands, all 613
listed. The 248 things we are supposed to do.
And the 365 things we are not to do. But that is not enough! Matthew 4:4 says
to ‘live by every word’ out of the mouth of God.
Easy for the elect to do because it’s all correct and brings eternal life
to those who obey God.
So after this
tribulation gets passed us,
what will it be like in the
Millennium? Well first thing is that
billions will be burnt up, starved, killed in the wars that will eliminate the
wicked from the earth. War is a good thing that people
don’t realize. Jesus leads the
armies
of heaven. He has said that his garments will be stained with blood. So do you
have your garments? We read:
“Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that
watcheth, and keepeth
his garments,
lest
he walk naked, and they see his shame.” Revelation
16: 15
(So if you can
get the proper garments then you won’t be naked and shamed. You are watching or
you wouldn’t be here on my web site.
Just what is necessary for
a Zion people
to be prepared for the
coming of Jesus Christ to his Kingdom?
First it is the King’s dominion, with his rules and commandments as the law. So
decide if you want to live by God’s rules or leave this earth. Simple choice.)
“God
has called upon us to warn this generation.
He has set His hand to establish Zion—the great Zion of God—about which the
prophets have said so much.
No
prophet has spoken more pointedly on this subject than Isaiah.
The
Lord has never sent
a
message to
the inhabitants of the earth
but
what
it has been despised, in a great measure, by most of them.
As it was in the days of Noah and Lot, so shall it be in the days of the coming
of the Son of Man.
This principle of
unbelief has
existed
in every age; it exists to-day.
The Elders of Israel have had to contend with this power of darkness, with
persecution, oppression, ridicule and opposition
from those who should have received their message—a
message which was for the good and salvation of those who rejected it. (Still
happening in 2003)
Isaiah
has told us what will come to pass in the latter days
concerning those who fight against Mount Zion and against the children of Zion.
Every
weapon will be broken,
every
nation that will
not
serve Zion shall be utterly wasted away, saith the Lord;
for the Lord will fight in defence of the land of Zion.” “1869”
