Zion & Jerusalem, June 18, 2015
Oh that the salvation of Israel
were come out of Zion!
 |
| Paul Reflecting upon the words of King David |
when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.(Old Testament | Psalms 14:7)
There is an ongoing controversy in Israel with
regards to prayer and adoration. It is as if they all want to pile at the wall
of lamentation but not all are allowed to be in the same place. That wall had
become a wall of partition, a stumbling block, a source of division that is
fragmenting the Lord’s people more and more when they should be working towards
becoming Zion
or one in heart, mind and deeds. Some
are pro a reform of tradition and customs and some are against as if their Jewishness
were going to be taken away. While they
fight or dissent amongst each other, the alarms in the city states keep going
off when fire approaches from heaven in the form of rockets launched by their
enemies.
The LORD who has looked down from heaven has a world concerning
them, because they struggle to understand his scriptures and fail to
understand. He has said that they are all become filthy; and that there is not
one, no, not one that does what is good in their midst. And he intends to given
them what they cannot acquire from him directly, knowledge.

| Wall of Partition, controversy and/ or Dissension |
Listen
to me and give heed o ye children of Israel. Despite the wall of
partition in your midst if you all truly believed the ancient prophets
including Moses, you would know first and foremost that you should pray always
and worship in ALL places, not only at the wall or in the synagogue. And second, that the son of God would come to
make disappear the wall of partition in your midst and make you one with him as
he has done with us.
It
appears that you all are spinning your wheels and that your teacher, Rabbis and
religious ministers are backsliding or out of the way. Those that lead you have
caused you and continue to cause you to err. They are as always, going beyond
the mark, over analyzing the law and the testimony and adding customs, traditions,
or merely incidental thereto or commentary. The LORD says that too much light
is blinding them. Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? Sons of Israel look and
learn:
For
the LORD our deliverer has come out of Zion
as David prayed and desired. And it is plainly written. Here is unleavened bread for your enjoyment,
gladness and salvation. This is what my
wife taught my children in a Family Home Evening, Monday Night. By following the LORD’s Standard and having listened
to the prophets, she showed us all in the LORD’s way how, why and when to pray.
 |
| No more wall of partition |
She bore a second witness of what I have
been preaching or trying to you all these days. She is more Jewish than I am because she has not forgotten the law of GOD. She is more Christian
than I because she practices what she preaches. And she is even even more Mormon than I am because I have seen the light of Christ n her. She is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints. In other words, she is more righteous than I. There is no wall of partition between us. We are one,
so please listen to me because if it were not for her, I would not have been
inspired to write these things today. This day is not me, but her ministering
to you. It is not what she said or
taught what I have come to preach you, but what we heard and felt.
Teach Me to Walk in the Light of his LOVE
Lyrics
I
1. Teach me to walk in the light of
his love;
Teach me to pray to my Father above;
Teach me to know of the things that
are right;
Teach me, teach me to walk in the
light.
II
2. Come, little child, and together
we'll learn
Of his commandments, that we may
return
Home to his presence, to live in his
sight--
Always, always to walk in the light.
III
3. Father in Heaven, we thank thee
this day
For loving guidance to show us the
way.
Grateful, we praise thee with songs of
delight!
Gladly, gladly we'll walk in the light.

| Salvation Cometh |
2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord. Psalms 14:2-4
6 ¶My people are destroyed for
lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject
thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of
thy God, I will also forget thy children.
7 As they were increased, so they
sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.
8 They eat up the sin of my
people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.
9 And there shall be, like people,
like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their
doings. Hosea 4:6-9
Sirens go off in Tel Aviv, Israel AND rocket explosion-AGAIN!!!

20 Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment.21 How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?22 For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge. Jeremiah 4:20-22
SECRET PRAYER
Lyrics
I
1.
There is an hour of peace and rest,
Unmarred
by earthly care;
'Tis
when before the Lord I go
And
kneel in secret prayer.
II
(Chorus)
May
my heart be turned to pray,
Pray
in secret day by day,
That
this boon to mortals giv'n
May
unite my soul with heav'n.
III
2.
The straight and narrow way to heav'n,
Where
angels bright and fair
Are
singing to God's praise, is found
Thru
constant secret prayer.
IV
3.
When sailing on life's stormy sea,
'Mid
billows of despair,
'Tis
solace to my soul to know
God
hears my secret prayer.
V
4.
When thorns are strewn along my path,
And
foes my feet ensnare,
My
Savior to my aid will come,
If
sought in secret prayer.

Zenos
taught that men should pray and worship in all places, and that judgments are
turned away because of the Son--Zenock taught that mercy is bestowed because of
the Son--Moses had lifted up in the wilderness a type of the Son of God. About
74 B.C.

| Type of shadows of things to come |
1 Now after Alma had spoken these words, they sent forth unto him desiring to know whether they should believe in one God, that they might obtain this fruit of which he had spoken, or how they should plant the seed, or the word of which he had spoken, which he said must be planted in their hearts; or in what manner they should begin to exercise their faith.2 And Alma said unto them: Behold, ye have said that ye could not worship your God because ye are cast out of your synagogues. But behold, I say unto you, if ye suppose that ye cannot worship God, ye do greatly err, and ye ought to search the scriptures; if ye suppose that they have taught you this, ye do not understand them.3 Do ye remember to have read what Zenos, the prophet of old, has said concerning prayer or worship?4 For he said: Thou art merciful, O God, for thou hast heard my prayer, even when I was in the wilderness; yea, thou wast merciful when I prayed concerning those who were mine enemies, and thou didst turn them to me.5 Yea, O God, and thou wast merciful unto me when I did cry unto thee in my field; when I did cry unto thee in my prayer, and thou didst hear me.6 And again, O God, when I did turn to my house thou didst hear me in my prayer.7 And when I did turn unto my closet, O Lord, and prayed unto thee, thou didst hear me.8 Yea, thou art merciful unto thy children when they cry unto thee, to be heard of thee and not of men, and thou wilt hear them.9 Yea, O God, thou hast been merciful unto me, and heard my cries in the midst of thy congregations.10 Yea, and thou hast also heard me when I have been cast out and have been despised by mine enemies; yea, thou didst hear my cries, and wast angry with mine enemies, and thou didst visit them in thine anger with speedy destruction.11 And thou didst hear me because of mine afflictions and my sincerity; and it is because of thy Son that thou hast been thus merciful unto me, therefore I will cry unto thee in all mine afflictions, for in thee is my joy; for thou hast turned thy judgments away from me, because of thy Son.12 And now Alma said unto them: Do ye believe those scriptures which have been written by them of old?13 Behold, if ye do, ye must believe what Zenos said; for, behold he said: Thou hast turned away thy judgments because of thy Son.14 Now behold, my brethren, I would ask if ye have read the scriptures? If ye have, how can ye disbelieve on the Son of God?15 For it is not written that Zenos alone spake of these things, but Zenock also spake of these things--16 For behold, he said: Thou art angry, O Lord, with this people, because they will not understand thy mercies which thou hast bestowed upon them because of thy Son.17 And now, my brethren, ye see that a second prophet of old has testified of the Son of God, and because the people would not understand his words they stoned him to death.18 But behold, this is not all; these are not the only ones who have spoken concerning the Son of God.19 Behold, he was spoken of by Moses; yea, and behold a type was raised up in the wilderness, that whosoever would look upon it might live. And many did look and live.20 But few understood the meaning of those things, and this because of the hardness of their hearts. But there were many who were so hardened that they would not look, therefore they perished. Now the reason they would not look is because they did not believe that it would heal them.21 O my brethren, if ye could be healed by merely casting about your eyes that ye might be healed, would ye not behold quickly, or would ye rather harden your hearts in unbelief, and be slothful, that ye would not cast about your eyes, that ye might perish?22 If so, wo shall come upon you; but if not so, then cast about your eyes and begin to believe in the Son of God, that he will come to redeem his people, and that he shall suffer and die to atone for their sins; and that he shall rise again from the dead, which shall bring to pass the resurrection, that all men shall stand before him, to be judged at the last and judgment day, according to their works.23 And now, my brethren, I desire that ye shall plant this word in your hearts, and as it beginneth to swell even so nourish it by your faith. And behold, it will become a tree, springing up in you unto everlasting life. And then may God grant unto you that your burdens may be light, through the joy of his Son. And even all this can ye do if ye will. Amen. Alma 33:1-23

Ari Davis said to me:You fool. Jesus was not the son of God. We do not believe in him. Keep your idiocy to yourself.
 |
| The Chief Messenger and his unworthy scribe |
Miguel Angel Tinoco replied back under the direction of the Son of God and the King of Israel, :
So as in the days of old when the poisonous serpents bite the people and all they had to do was to lift up their head and look, you will rather chose to perish? If I am fool, what does that make you? Hard headed maybe?
I am sorry, but I am unable to comply, your request is denied.

| Paul to the Gentiles |
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes.29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen. Romans 11:25-36
As you may have seen, Salvation has come out of Zion. This is the way my God and Father, the Son of
GOD and our Mother, the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints have taught
us to walk in the light. I am just here
to rehearse what our mothers knew. For our Mothers knew and the apostles of
Jesus Christ, has showed us the influence of our mothers and women that God has
given to us for wives in our lives.

| Like Father Like Son |
D Todd Christofferson
I was blessed to be raised by a faithful father and mother. Although I grew up in a strong family, I still needed to know for myself if what my mother and father had taught me was true.As a teenager, I was in the Sacred Grove alone one evening and prayed for a long time to receive a confirming witness of what Joseph Smith experienced there. I received no answer. But a few weeks later when I was at my home in New Jersey reading the Book of Mormon, the answer came with great power through the Holy Ghost. God will answer your pleas when He feels it is right and in the way He knows is best. And as I learned, you don’t have to be any place special for Him to speak to you.We all have to wait upon the Lord. Regardless of how you were raised, you must gain your own testimony. If you will open your heart, the Lord will find a way to reach you personally. He will show you His tremendous love for you.

| Joseph in the Pit a type of shadow of things to come |
I replied to his commentary
above in his Facebook wall where it appears I am not welcomed, for they still doubt
that I am one of them in every which way. My own brethren doubt my calling and election as the apostles pf the primitice church of Jesus Christ doubted the calling and election of the apostle Paul. I know my redeemer and I bear witness
of his divinity also as they do. Only that I am hard core and I do not get the
publicity, the resources to work or the kudos as they do with the commentaries of their little and shallow lives while the truth of GOD pulls its own boots, while they fly comfortably all around the world. They erased my little scriptural comment; which is the seed that God planted to grow up the tree of this argument. Maybe they think that my work is insignificant
or of no consequence, but they do not know that when I say something about God
or from GOD I do it with the authority of our father in heaven, and therefore
my words are not only binding upon my own soul, but theirs also. And they will be
held accountable for rejecting me as the Jews rejected the ancient and not too
ancient apostles and prophets. And for this purpose, the LORD has said to them
also, not only to the Jews, that there is not one that does good among them, no,
not one and who can deny it? He that hates me, hates my father also; and he who sent me.
I was sent to the pit once under intense and deadly persecution. I could even see the bullets flying that were shot at me by the chief archers. As I descended to the prison dungeon or the pit of hell where the prisoners and the slaves were held and put to work, I found people that I did not know who had mountain masks. They were the task masters. Two of them grabbed me and I fought them to release myself from their grasp. I was able to pull the mask of one of them and knocked them with my fist in the face that he became dumb shocked or paralyzed. In the morning, when I awoke from the dream of hell, I learned that the man I had hit in the face with my fist had asked for it. He wanted to taste by his own experience the strength of the power of God had bestowed upon me, so he could bear witness. Now he knows. His name is C.H Spurgeon. This is an excerpt of what he said about the truth and about me in a sermon, for what he said was the very ambush that I was experiencing before I got to him.

A Sermon

Delivered on Sunday Morning, April 1, 1855, by theREV. C. H. Spurgeon
At Exeter Hall, Strand
"A lie will go around the world while truth is pulling its own booths."

"The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him; but his bow abode in strength; and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel."—Genesis 49:23,24.
"Joseph is dead, but the Lord has his Josephs now. There are some still who understand by experience—and that is the best kind of understanding—the meaning of this passage,.."
 |
| The bretheren |
"I. First, then, we commence with THE CRUEL ATTACK. "The archers have sorely grieved him." Joseph's enemies were archers. The original has it, "masters of the arrows;" that is, men who were well skilled in the use of the arrows. Though all weapons are alike approved by the warrior in his thirst for blood, there seems something more cowardly in the attack of the archer than in that of the swordsman. The swordsman plants himself near you, foot to foot, and lets you defend yourself, and deal your blows against him; but the archer stands at a distance, hides himself in ambuscade, and, without you knowing it, the arrow comes whizzing through the air, and perhaps penetrates your heart. Just so are the enemies of God's people."

| Youth of Israel |
"The youth was fair and beautiful; in person he was to be admired; moreover, he had a mind that was gigantic, and an intellect that was lofty; but, best of all, in him dwelt the Spirit of the living God. He was one who talked with God; a youth of piety and prayerfulness; beloved of God, even more than he was by his earthly father."

"They then sold him for the price of a slave, stripped him of his coat, and sent him naked, they knew not, and they cared not, whither, so long as he might be out of their way, and no longer provoke their envy and their anger. Oh! the agonies he felt—parted from his father, losing his brethren, without a friend, dragged away by cruel man-sellers, chained upon a camel it may be, with fetters on his hands. Those who have borne the gyves and fetters, those who have felt that they were not free men, that they had not liberty, might tell how sorely the archers grieved him when they shot at him the arrows of their envy. He became a slave, sold from his country, dragged from all he loved. Farewell to home and all its pleasures—farewell to a father's smiles and tender cares. He must be a slave, and toil where the slave's task-master makes him; he must be stripped in the streets, he must be beaten, he must be scourged, he must be reduced from the man to the animal, from the free man to the slave."

3. Then another host of archers assailed him; these were the archers of MALICIOUS CALUMNY. Seeing that he would not yield to temptation, his mistress falsely accused him to her husband, and his lord, believing the voice of his wife, cast him into prison. It was a marvelous providence that he did not put him to death; for Potiphar, his master, was the chief of the slaughtermen; he had only to call in a soldier, who would have cut him in pieces on the spot. But he cast him into prison. There was poor Joseph. His character ruined in the eyes of man, and very likely looked upon with scorn even in the prison-house; base criminals went away from him as if they thought him viler than themselves, as if they were angels in comparison with him. Oh! it is no easy thing to feel your character gone, to think that you are slandered, that things are said of you that are untrue. Many a man's heart has been broken by this, when nothing else could make him yield. The archers sorely grieved him when he was so maligned—so slandered. O child of God, dost thou expect to escape these archers? Wilt thou never be slandered? Shalt thou never be calumniated? It is the lot of God's servants, in proportion to their zeal, to be evil spoken of. Remember the noble Whitefield, how he stood and was the butt of all the jeers and scoffs of half an age; while his only answer was a blameless life."
And he who forged, and he who threw the dart,
Had each a brother's interest in his heart."
Had each a brother's interest in his heart."

"They reviled him and imputed to him crimes that Sodom never knew. So shall it be always with those who preach God's truth, and all the followers of Christ—they must all expect it; but, blessed be God, they have not said worse things of us than they said of our Master. What have they laid to our charge? They may have said, "he is drunken and a wine-bibber;" but they have not said, "he hath a devil." They have accused us of being mad, so was it said of Paul. Oh, holy infatuation, heavenly furor, would that we could bite others until they had the same madness. We think, if to go to heaven be mad, we will not choose to be wise; we see no wisdom in preferring hell; we can see no great prudence in despising and hating God's truth. If to serve God be vile, we purpose to be viler still. Ah! friends, some now present know this verse by heart, "The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him." Expect it; do not think it a strange thing; all God's people must have it. There are no royal roads to heaven—they are paths of trial and trouble; the archers will shoot at you as long as you are on this side the flood.

"Doth the moon stay herself to lecture every dog that bayeth at her? Doth the lion turn aside to rend each cur that barketh at him? Do the stars cease to shine because the nightingales reprove them for their dimness? Doth the sun stop in its course because of the officious cloud which veils it: Or doth the river stay because the willow dippeth its leaves into its waters? Ah! no; God's universe moves on, and if men will oppose it, it heeds them not."
The One Mighty and Strong
" III. The third thing in our text is THE SECRET STRENGTH. "The arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob." First, notice, concerning his strength, that it was real strength. It says, "the arms of his hands," not his hands only. You know some people can do a great deal with their hands, but then it is often fictitious power; there is no might in the arm—there is no muscle; but of Joseph it is said; "the arms of his hands were made strong. It was real potency, true muscle, real sinew, real nerve. It was not simply sleight of hand—the power of moving his finger very swiftly—but the arms of his hands were made strong. Now that strength which God gives to his Josephs is real strength; it is not a boasted valor, a fiction, a thing of which men talk, an airy dream, an unsubstantial unreality, but it is real strength. I should not like to have a combat with one of God's Josephs. I should find their blows very heavy. I fear a Christian's strokes more than any other man's for he has bone and sinew, and smites hard."

| Lord of War |
"Let the foes of the church expect a hard struggle if they attack an heir of life. Mightier than giants are men of the race of heaven; should they once arouse themselves to battle they could laugh at the spear and the habergeon. But they are a patient generation, enduring ills without resenting them suffering scorn without reviling the scoffer. Their triumph is to come when their enemies shall receive the vengeance due; then shall it be seen by an assembled world that the "little flock" were men of high estate, and the "offscouring of all things" were verily men of real strength and dignity.
Even though the world perceive it not, the favored Joseph has real strength, not in his hands only, but in his arms—real might, real power. O ye foes of God, ye think God's people are despicable and powerless; but know that they have true strength from the omnipotence of their Father, a might substantial and divine. Your own shall melt away, and droop and die, like the snow upon the low mountain top, when the sun shines upon it, it melteth into water; but our vigor shall abide like the snow on the summit of the Alps, undiminished for ages. It is real strength."
The Stone that the builders Rejected
 |
| Jesus Christ, The Stone, the Shepherd of Israel |
IV. That is our fourth point—A GLORIOUS PARALLEL. "From thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel." Jesus Christ was served just the same; the shepherd, the stone of Israel, passed through similar trials; he was shot at by the archers, he was grieved and wounded, but his bow abode in strength; his arms were made strong by the God of Jacob, and now every blessing rests "upon the crown of the head of him who was separated from his brethren." I shall not detain you long, but I have a few things to tell you; first about Christ as the shepherd, and then about Christ the stone.
 |
| Sold for Money |
" Christ came into the world as a shepherd. As soon as he made his appearance, the Scribes and Pharisees said, "Ah! we have been the shepherds until this hour; now we shall be driven from our honors, we shall lose all our dignity, and our authority." Consequently, they always shot at him. As for the people, they were a fickle herd; I believe that many of them respected and admired Christ, though, doubtless, the vast majority hated him, for wherever he went he was a popular preacher; the multitude always thronged him and crowded round him, crying, "Hosanna." I think, if you had walked up to the top of that hill of Calvary, and asked one of those men who cried out, "Crucify him, crucify him," "What do you say that for? Is he a bad man?" "No," he would have said, "he went about doing good." "Then why do you say 'crucify him?'" "Because Rabbi Simeon gave me a shekel to help the clamor." So the multitude were much won by the money and influence of the priests. But they were glad to hear Christ after all. It was the shepherds that hated him, because he took away their traffic, because he turned the buyers and sellers out of the temple, diminished their dignity and ignored their pretensions; therefore, they could not endure him. But the Shepherd of Israel mounted higher and higher; he gathered his sheep, carried the lambs in his bosom; and he now stands acknowledged as the great shepherd of the sheep, who shall gather them into one flock and lead them to heaven."
But I am first in battle and it is recorded in heaven, for this is what I said to my bretheren:
Doubtless Liberty Warriors
We do not doubt our mothers knew it.(Book of Mormon | Alma 56: 48)
Therefore what say ye, my sons, will ye go against
them to battle?
And now I say unto you, my beloved brother Moroni, that never had I seen so great courage, nay, not amongst all the Nephites.
For as I had ever called them my sons (for they were all of them very young) even so they said unto me: Father, behold our God is with us, and he will not suffer that we should fall; then let us go forth; we would not slay our brethren if they would let us alone; therefore let us go, lest they should overpower the army of Antipus.
Now they never had fought, yet they did not fear death; and they did think more upon the liberty of their fathers than they did upon their lives; yea, they had been taught by their mothers, that if they did not doubt, God would deliver them. And they rehearsed unto me the words of their mothers, saying: We do not doubt our mothers knew it.
And now I say unto you, my beloved brother Moroni, that never had I seen so great courage, nay, not amongst all the Nephites.

(Book of Mormon | Alma 56:44 - 48)
This is my errand for this day of which you had a brief
preview when it was being developed. I pray that you benefit from it and that
you know the source of all your blessings and learn to pray the way the LORD
intended and not depend on the prayers of others always. The LORD does not reject anyone.
For behold, my beloved brethren, I say unto you that the Lord God worketh not in darkness.He doeth not anything save it be for the benefit of the world; for he loveth the world, even that he layeth down his own life that he may draw all men unto him. Wherefore, he commandeth none that they shall not partake of his salvation.Behold, doth he cry unto any, saying: Depart from me? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; but he saith: Come unto me all ye ends of the earth, buy milk and honey, without money and without price.Behold, hath he commanded any that they should depart out of the synagogues, or out of the houses of worship? Behold, I say unto you, Nay.Hath he commanded any that they should not partake of his salvation? Behold I say unto you, Nay; but he hath given it free for all men; and he hath commanded his people that they should persuade all men to repentance.Behold, hath the Lord commanded any that they should not partake of his goodness? Behold I say unto you, Nay; but all men are privileged the one like unto the other, and none are forbidden.He commandeth that there shall be no priestcrafts; for, behold, priestcrafts are that men preach and set themselves up for a light unto the world, that they may get gain and praise of the world; but they seek not the welfare of Zion.Behold, the Lord hath forbidden this thing; wherefore, the Lord God hath given a commandment that all men should have charity, which charity is love. And except they should have charity they were nothing. Wherefore, if they should have charity they would not suffer the laborer in Zion to perish.But the laborer in Zion shall labor for Zion; for if they labor for money they shall perish.And again, the Lord God hath commanded that men should not murder; that they should not lie; that they should not steal; that they should not take the name of the Lord their God in vain; that they should not envy; that they should not have malice; that they should not contend one with another; that they should not commit whoredoms; and that they should do none of these things; for whoso doeth them shall perish.For none of these iniquities come of the Lord; for he doeth that which is good among the children of men; and he doeth nothing save it be plain unto the children of men; and he inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile.(Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 26:23 - 33)
These things I leave with you humbly and meekly and boldly,
always looking for your welfare because I cannot say that I love you without
making it manifest or showing it to you in words and in deeds. I pray with all
my heart for the Jews, and for the entire house of Israel, and for the church of the
Saints of GOD, even until I have no more strength and am captured and devoured
by filthy beast from the darkness. I am
but an unworthy servant in the hands of Christ. If I am the servant and the friend of the
groom, then you must be the bride and the children. You are more important,
than me, I am just a Voice of Mercy. These
things I say to you as one having authority in the sacred name of Jesus Christ,
amen.
