MORMON PROPHECY: Future Chastening of the Latter Day Saints |

MORMON PROPHECY: FUTURE CHASTENING OF THE
LATTER DAY SAINTS
by Will BlueOtter -- the Prophecykeeper
for more background, prophecykeeper recommends:
The Millennarian World of Early Mormonism by Grant Underwood
Having lived in Utah for many years, the Prophecykeeper has come in contact with many fine people, including many fine people that are members the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons). I am very thankful to my personal teacher and Cherokee descendant, Rhea Kunz, for bringing these prophecies to my attention.
Rhea was a close friend of Wovoca's granddaughter, who taught her about all of the lies that were written by white people concerning the true facts surrounding the incident at Walker Lake that started the "Ghost Dance" movement. She said that what happened was just as the U.S. Government had reported it -- just what Short Bull and Porcupine had said: that Jesus Christ had indeed appeared at Walker Lake. Some other white authors later came up with the lie that Wovoca was masquerading as the Messiah!
Rhea's book, The One Like Unto Moses which is available from Rhea's daughter Myra Tolman, of Indianola, Utah (just ask directory assistance for the number ) The One Like Unto Moses was the culmination of her life's work of many fine educational books, and discussed the entire story of wat really happened at Walker Lake, relying on Wovoca's granddaughter (who is a traditional paiute and not a "Christian") as a witness. Another fine book on the subject of the "Indian Prophet" is The Keys of the Priesthood Illustrated by Lynn and Stephen Bishop, available from interlibrary loan.
These two books were the most important books I read as a Mormon, and planted my feet firmly on the Red Path, which is where Joseph Smith and the early mormon church founders wanted the people to go... I was literally led to these books by the spirit, through a dream!
Mormonism's founders, Joseph Smith, Heber C. Kimball, Brigham Young, John
Taylor, et al, all made a sincere effort to walk the Red Path, encouraged
other Mormons to do the same. I attempt to document these teachings on this
page. I am thankful to the Creator for helping myself, the Prophecykeeper,
take my baby steps on the Red Path, or as we Cherokees call it, The
Beauty Way.
Unfortunately, those early efforts of the Mormons church's founders are ignored
and/or suppressed these days. And even more unfortunately for all of us on
the planet, some ethnically Hopi converts to the Mormon Church, who have
no respect for the traditions of their own ancestors, now control the B.I.A.
controlled Hopi Council. That council is far from being the representative
of any of the Hopi's original teachings, and makes life miserable for the
Eldest Hopi Elders who are still attempting to life the Hopi Lifeway. Hopi
Rangers (Law Enforcement Officers) have showed a pattern of harassment of
sincere people that attempt to visit and learn from Hopi traditional
elders.
The BIA "Indian Reorganization Act" non-traditional Hopi Council, which
is illegal under United Nations Laws, recently took steps
to suppress The Hopi Prophecy as part of their
scheme, claiming that the two-hearted US Government puppet council
had rights that their traditional government did not."Intellectual Property"
is what they claimed.
This is a great paradox, because the Book of Mormon, which the basis of the Mormon Religion, taught that the Native Peoples of this continent received instruction from a "white, bearded god." So did the Hopi, who teach that their "True White Brother" was indeed white. What I find very significant is that the Book of Mormon and the Iroquois Prophecy of the Two Serpents both mention a "Choice Seer."
Nowadays, the vast majority of the Hopis, and of the Mormons, have forgotten their original set of instructions. Mormon Church policy now seemingly (because so many Hopi Council Members are Mormon converts) encourages a complete change of the Hopi Lifeway, and hence is working to bring about the negative fulfillment of the Hopi prophecy -- which is the destruction of mankind.
A very few Mormons cling to the Red Path, known as the Woolley fundamentalists among Mormons. They are named after Lorin Woolley, who was taken to the Yucatan by one of the "Three Nephites" and met the Indian Prophet. The Three Nephites are quickened or translated beings who cannot die -- apostles of Christ here in the Americas after his crucifixion and resurrection -- that were given a choice to tarry on the earth until Christ came, or to follow him immediately into the Celestial world. They work under the direction of John the Revelator, a member of Jesus' homeland twelve apostles, and author of the Book of Revelation. The description of the three men that Handsome Lake met in the forest and revealed the "Good News Religion" is identical to the description of the Three Nephites. They later introduced Handsome Lake to their superior, who's description is the same as John the Revelator of Mormon lore!
So as a result, a very few Hopis -- and a very few Mormons -- still cling to the roots of their old ways....the Red Path!
You may find this surprising if you walk the Red Path, but the original founders of the "Mormon" Church wanted it's members to intermarry with and to learn everything they could from Native Americans at that time, because they knew of a future period of chastening, and were trying to prepare their people. The "Book Of Mormon" was addressed to the Native peoples of the North American Continent.
I bring these things to your attention to show the harmony and/or coincidences of different culture prophecies saying basically the same things, using the same terms, etc.
Just so there no misunderstanding, what I am saying here is that early Mormon founders were trying to get Mormons to live like Indians -- with everything held in common, and with no private ownership of land, no mining, no greed, etc. -- because it was shown to them by the spirit this was the way most acceptable to the Creator.
Mormons were originally taught by their founders that someday they would follow a "Future Indian Prophet," who's name might be Joseph or even possibly Lehi, who would be lawgiver to all the world. This was stated as a footnote in the English language edition of "Book Of Mormon" up until 1909, and up to 1920 in the spanish language edition. The original footnote by Orson Pratt was removed at that time, and now the chapter heading of the Utah edition of the Book of Mormon states that this Choice Seer is/was Joseph Smith Jr. How can this possibly be true, because Joseph Smith's genealogy is completely accounted for, and he is totally descended from european immigrants tot he Americas -- and not a descendant of the original inhabitants of this country.
This "Choice Seer" was also mentioned prominently in "Testament of Levi" published in London in 1789 along with "The Testimonies of The Twelve Patriarchs."
The "Marred Servant" of Isaiah 52:13 may be the same future leader, as well as "A Future Indian Prophet" from 2 Nephi Chapter 3 in the 1906 Book of Mormon,
There were even clues as to this Choice Seer's name, but readers usually assume his name will be Joseph, BUT they miss the point that the person SPEAKING is Lehi.
2 Nephi 3:15 "And his name shall be called after me; and it shall be after the name of his father. And he shall be like unto me; for the thing, which the Lord shall bring forth by his hand, by the power of the Lord shall bring my people unto salvation."
In any case, we know from this chapter that he would be a descendant of Joseph of Egypt.
This would be within the realm of possibility, because the Book of Mormon describes descendants of Joseph of Egypt as migrating to the Americas.
We read now from the Holy Bible, The Book of Isaiah, 52nd Chapter: concerning the Marred Servant......
13 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
14 As many were astonished (astounded) at thee; his visage was so marred (hebrew=disfigured) more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men (sons of men- an appellation used in the Old Testament to describe the prophets, and Jesus used to describe himself) :
15 So shall he sprinkle (Sinai covenant involved sprinkling of blood) many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for [that] which had not been told them shall they see; and [that] which they had not heard shall they consider."

7 years among the Mormons was more than enough time for me to see the modern Mormon church's (as well as his own) follies and transgressions as a people. Brigham Young hammered the Mormons for 30 years on this subject -- calling them as stupid a dumb asses -- but they didn't listen, and they still aren't listening for the most part. He told them that they could have (if they had only put their heart's into it, and within a two year period of time after arriving in these valleys) had a society like Enoch's (the one who descended form Adam NOT Cain)-- an entire society which was "translated" or taken into heaven -- but they were too busy building up worldly riches, instead of learning to live as the Indians did.....with everything in common, which was, he pointed out, the only truly acceptable way before the God of Heaven.
There are many good people, as well as many prideful and arrogant people (myself not totally innocent of that indictment) among the Mormons. Blueotter still lives here in Utah, and keeps abreast of the situation.
However, no people are exempt from the Creator's cleansing. I include
this information because of these prophecies relate to the Rocky Mountain
Area. Please understand that the Mormons believe that the Native Americans
are descended (or intermarried with existing red people) from Lost tribes
of Israel, and are a "remnant of Jacob," who's name was changed to Israel,
and who was the father of all the tribes of Israel.
John Adair, who married into the Cherokees, wrote a book called "History
of the American Indian" which was published in 1795, which pointed out many,
many coincidences between Indian and Hebrew dress, burial customs, and even
language. Don't pooh-pooh this book unless you have read it, for where there
is smoke, there is fire.
From the Book of Mormon (which was addressed to the Indians on this continent), the 3rd Chapter of Nephi:
"10 And it came to pass that when they (people that had been led out of Jerusalem just prior to the Great Earthquake about 700 years before Christ) had all given glory unto Jesus, he said unto them: Behold now I finish the commandment which the Father hath commanded me concerning this people, who are a remnant of the house of Israel.
11 Ye remember that I spake unto you, and said that when the words of Isaiah should be fulfilled behold they are written, ye have them before you, therefore search them
12 And verily, verily, I say unto you, that when they shall be fulfilled then is the fulfilling of the covenant which the Father hath made unto his people, O house of Israel.
13 And then shall the remnants, (Bands of Indians) which shall be scattered abroad upon the face of the earth (here in the Americas), be gathered in from the east and from the west, and from the south and from the north; (the 4 directions!) and they shall be brought to the knowledge of the Lord their God, who hath redeemed them."
This scripture is without doubt referring to the period of Missionary activity between 1500 and 1900. Remember, the Hopi said in their prophecy that the White Man was once their brother, but left to go into the world to seek out wisdom, and bring it back -- they brought back only part of the real story, which has yet to be fully restored at this writing in 1997.
"14 And the Father hath commanded me that I should give unto you this land (The Americas, or Turtle Island as it is known to many original nations), for your inheritance.
15 And I say unto you, that if the Gentiles (White Europeans) do not repent after the blessing (Holy Scriptures, personal revelation, visitations from divine personages, etc.) which they shall receive during vision quests, after they have scattered my people. (The Red Man)
16 Then shall ye (the Native Americans), who are a remnant of the house
of Jacob, go forth among them; and ye shall be in the midst of them who shall
be many; and ye shall be among them as a lion among the beasts of the forest,
and as a young lion among the flocks of sheep, who, if he goeth through both
treadeth down and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver."
This prophecies the Creators future dealings with White Europeans, using
Red men to deal with them in a harsh manner!
"17 Thy hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, (which may possibly only be in a prayerful manner - no violence is spelled out here) and all thine enemies shall be cut off. (lose their "power")
18 And I will gather my people together as a man gathereth his sheaves into the floor.
19 For I will make my people with whom the Father hath covenanted, yea, I will make thy horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass. And thou shalt beat in pieces many people; and I will consecrate their gain unto the Lord, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth. And behold, I am he who doeth it.
20 And it shall come to pass, saith the Father, that the sword of my justice shall hang over them at that day; and except they repent it shall fall upon them, saith the Father, yea, even upon all the nations of the Gentiles. (Caucasian Europeans)
21 And it shall come to pass that I will establish my people, O house of Israel. (Native Peoples)
22 And behold, this people will I establish in this land, unto the fulfilling of the covenant which I made with your father Jacob; and it shall be a New Jerusalem. And the powers of heaven shall be in the midst of this people; yea, even I will be in the midst of you. (At Walker Lake where Short Bull and Porcupine stated that the "Messiah" that visited them and introduced them to the "Ghost Dance" or the Dance of Welcome was indeed Jesus Christ?)
23 Behold, I (Jesus Christ speaking to them) am he of whom Moses spake, saying: A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass that every soul who will not hear that prophet shall be cut off from among the people.
24 Verily I say unto you, yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have testified of me.
25 And behold, ye (Natives) are the children of the prophets; and ye are of the house of Israel; and ye are of the covenant which the Father made with your fathers, saying unto Abraham: And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
26 The Father having raised me up unto you first, and sent me to bless you in turning away every one of you from his iniquities; and this because ye are the children of the covenant
27 And after that ye were blessed then fulfilleth the Father the covenant which he made with Abraham, saying: In thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed unto the pouring out of the Holy Ghost through me upon the Gentiles, which blessing upon the Gentiles shall make them mighty above all, unto the scattering of my people, O house of Israel.
28 And they (the White Europeans) shall be a scourge unto the (Native)
people of this land. (The White Peoples scourged the Indians here in America)
Nevertheless, when they (The White Gentiles) shall have received the fullness
of my gospel, then if they shall harden their hearts against me I will return
their iniquities upon their own heads, saith the Father."
This happened in 1890, when the Mormons gave up their dream of living like
Indians "with all things in common" just weeks before the Wounded Knee Massacre,
which was precipitated by the Ghost Dancing in the Indian Nations, which
was in turn precipitated by a visit of "the Messiah," whom the Indian witnesses
(whose accounts have been prominently published in U.S. Government publications)
Short Bull and Porcupine claimed was none other than Jesus Christ!
"29 And I will remember the covenant which I have made with my people (Native); and I have covenanted (the Hopi?) with them that I would gather them together in mine own due time, that I would give unto them again the land of their fathers for their inheritance, which is the land of Jerusalem (the land where Adam dwelt), which is the promised land unto them forever, saith the Father.
30 And it shall come to pass that the time cometh, when the fullness of my gospel shall be preached unto them;
31 And they shall believe in me, that I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and shall pray unto the Father in my name.
32 Then shall their watchmen (Prophets, seers, vision questers) lift up their voice, and with the voice together shall they sing; for they shall see eye to eye.
33 Then will the Father gather them together again, and give unto them Jerusalem for the land of their inheritance.
34 Then shall they break forth into joy Sing together, ye waste (reservation?) places of Jerusalem; for the Father hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem. (Jerusalem refers to the promised land)
35 The Father hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of the Father; and the Father and I are one.
36 And then shall be brought to pass that which is written: Awake, awake again, and put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city, for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
37 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, sit down, O Jerusalem; loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive (Native American) daughter of Zion.
38 For thus saith the Lord: Ye have sold yourselves for naught, (they didn't sell their Mother the Earth, and because of that they will be blessed) and ye shall be redeemed without money. (by the outstretched hand of the Creator's power)
39 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that my people shall know my name; yea, in that day they shall know that I am he that doth speak. (Ever hear Indians singing Hey-Yah-Weh, Hey-Yah-Weh -- Yahweh comes from the "tetragrammaton (first few books of the Bible)" the combination of four -- which is a holy number -- letter, J, H, W, and H, and is pronounced Yahweh in olden times, but was changed to Jehovah in more modern times. The real name, like the name of the Cherokees "Pale One" is rarely, if ever, spoken....perhaps even unknown since all of the Adawehi (medicine people) died off in the last Century.
40 And then shall they say: How beautiful upon the mountains (Mother Earth) are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings unto them, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings unto them of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion: Thy God reigneth!
41 And then shall a cry go forth: Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch not that which is unclean; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean that bear the vessels of the Lord.
42 For ye shall not go out with haste nor go by flight; for the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel shall be your rearward.
43 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently; he shall be exalted and extolled and be very high.
44 As many were astonished at thee his visage was so marred, more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men
45 So shall he sprinkle (rule over) many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him, for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.
46 Verily, verily, I say unto you, all these things shall surely come, even as the Father hath commanded me. Then shall this covenant which the Father hath covenanted with his people be fulfilled; and then shall Jerusalem be inhabited again with my people, and it shall be the land of their inheritance."
Interesting, Huh? Read On!
Here is the prophecy of the future "Branch Prophet" or Indian Prophet" given by Lehi, the leader of the group of two families that were led out of Jerusalem just before the Great Earthquake about 700 years before Christ. The scene is thus: He is giving blessings to his sons, and this is the blessing given to his youngest Son, Joseph:
From the Book of Mormon, 2nd Chapter of Nephi, Chapter 3:
1 And now I speak unto you, Joseph, my last-born. Thou wast born in the wilderness of mine afflictions; yea, in the days of my greatest sorrow (during the long journey to America from the Holy land) did thy mother bear thee.
2 And may the Lord consecrate also unto thee this land, (Americas) which is a most precious land, for thine inheritance and the inheritance of thy seed with thy brethren, for thy security forever, if it so be that ye shall keep the commandments of the Holy One of Israel.
3 And now, Joseph, my last-born, whom I have brought out of the wilderness of mine afflictions, may the Lord bless thee forever, for thy seed shall not utterly be destroyed. (for he has seen the future in vision)
4 For behold, thou art the fruit of my loins; and I am a descendant of Joseph who was carried captive into Egypt. And great were the covenants of the Lord which he made unto Joseph.
5 Wherefore, Joseph truly saw our day. And he obtained a promise of the Lord, that out of the fruit of his loins the Lord God would raise up a righteous branch unto the house of Israel; not the Messiah, but a branch (of the tree of the House of Israel) which was to be broken off, nevertheless, to be remembered in the covenants of the Lord that the Messiah should be made manifest unto them in the latter days, in the spirit of power, unto the bringing of them out of darkness unto light yea, out of hidden darkness and out of captivity unto freedom.
6 For Joseph truly testified, saying: A seer shall the Lord my God raise up, who shall be a choice seer (which are the same words that Mad Bear Anderson, the Tuscarora Sachem used when he related the Iroquois prophecy of the Serpents here in the Americas) unto the fruit of my loins.
7 Yea, Joseph (speaking to his family in Egypt during his days as executive for Pharaoh) truly said: Thus saith the Lord unto me: A choice seer will I raise up out of the fruit of thy loins; and he shall be esteemed highly among the fruit of thy loins. And unto him will I give commandment that he shall do a work for the fruit of thy loins, his brethren, which shall be of great worth unto them, even to the bringing of them to the knowledge of the covenants which I have made with thy fathers.
8 And I will give unto him a commandment that he shall do none other work, save the work which I shall command him. And I will make him great in mine eyes; for he shall do my work.
9 And he shall be great like unto Moses, whom I have said I would raise up unto you, to deliver my people, O house of Israel.
10 And Moses will I raise up, to deliver thy people out of the land of Egypt.
11 But a seer will I raise up out of the fruit of thy loins; and unto him will I give power to bring forth my word unto the seed of thy loins and not to the bringing forth my word only, (Records of the Anasazi and other ancients here in the Americas, Holy Scriptures like to Bible, The Book of Mormon and other texts from the Dead Sea Scrolls) saith the Lord, but to the convincing them of my word, which shall have already gone forth among them.
12 Wherefore, the fruit of thy loins shall write; and the fruit of the loins of Judah shall write; and that which shall be written by the fruit of thy loins, and also that which shall be written by the fruit of the loins of Judah, shall grow together, unto the confounding of false doctrines and laying down of contentions, and establishing peace among the fruit of thy loins, and bringing them to the knowledge of their fathers in the latter days, and also to the knowledge of my covenants, saith the Lord.
13 And out of weakness he shall be made strong, in that day when my work shall commence among all my people, unto the restoring thee, O house of Israel, saith the Lord.
14 And thus prophesied Joseph, saying: Behold, that seer will the Lord bless; and they that seek to destroy him shall be confounded; for this promise, which I have obtained of the Lord, of the fruit of my loins, shall be fulfilled. Behold, I am sure of the fulfilling of this promise;
15 And his name shall be called after me (Joseph); and it shall be after the name of his father. And he shall be like unto me; for the things, which the Lord shall bring forth by his hand, by the power of the Lord shall bring my people unto salvation. (The Mormon Church is now contradicting it's founders, and claiming this was fulfilled with Joseph Smith, whom they know full well was NOT a descendant of the Indians here in America, but a White Gentile, as Joseph Smith said he was identified with, Smith said that a true prophet will never contradict a former prophet, so amen to the modern Mormon Church)
16 Yea, thus prophesied Joseph: I am sure of this thing, even as I am sure of the promise of Moses; for the Lord hath said unto me, I will preserve thy seed forever.
17 And the Lord hath said: I will raise up a Moses; and I will give power unto him in a rod; (Chanunpa or the Sacred Pipe?) and I will give judgment unto him in writing. Yet I will not loose his tongue, that he shall speak much, for I will not make him mighty in speaking. But I will write unto him my law, by the finger of mine own hand; and I will make a spokesman for him.
18 And the Lord said unto me also: I will raise up unto the fruit of thy loins; and I will make for him a spokesman. And I, behold, I will give unto him that he shall write the writing of the fruit of thy loins, unto the fruit of thy loins; and the spokesman of thy loins shall declare it.
19 And the words which he shall write shall be the words which are expedient in my wisdom should go forth unto the fruit of thy loins. And it shall be as if the fruit of thy loins had cried unto them from the dust; for I know their faith.
20 And they shall cry from the dust; (archeological discoveries and as voices from the spirit world, judgments like famine, floods ,earthquakes) yea, even repentance unto their brethren, even after many generations have gone by them. And it shall come to pass that their cry shall go, even according to the simpleness of their words.
21 Because of their faith their words shall proceed forth out of my mouth unto their brethren who are the fruit of thy loins; and the weakness of their words will I make strong in their faith, unto the remembering of my covenant which I made unto thy fathers.
22 And now, behold, my son Joseph, after this manner did my father of old prophesy.
23 Wherefore, because of this covenant thou art blessed; for thy seed shall not be destroyed, for they shall hearken unto the words of the book.
24 And there shall rise up one mighty among them, (the White Gentiles - this would be Joseph Smith, or course) who shall do much good, both in word and in deed, being an instrument in the hands of God, with exceeding faith, to work mighty wonders, and do that thing which is great in the sight of God, unto the bringing to pass much restoration unto the house of Israel, and unto the seed of thy brethren.
25 And now, blessed art thou, Joseph. Behold, thou art little; wherefore hearken unto the words of thy brother, Nephi, and it shall be done unto thee even according to the words which I have spoken. Remember the words of thy dying father. Amen.
HO!
Nobody knows the whole history of the America's for sure, but it has been fairly well determined and it is accepted in scholastic and other circles that there were visitors from Scandinavia, Ireland, and the Orient -- China, so why not from the Holy Land? After all, the Creator can accomplish anything with his (what we might call) magic, can't he?
So why not bring descendants of Joseph of Egypt over to America's to accomplish his purposes? Why not a "Branch" that would run over "a wall" of water -- the Atlantic Ocean?
Here is the blessing given to Joseph by his father Jacob/Israel in the Holy Bible, Book of Genesis Chapter 43:
22 Joseph [is] a fruitful bough, [even] a fruitful bough by a well (the holy land); [whose] branches run over the wall (of the ocean):
23 The archers (his brothers) have sorely grieved him, and shot [at him], and hated him:
24 But his bow (life and his mission for the Creator) 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:)
25 [Even] by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:
26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my
progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be
on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate
from his brethren.
Joseph Smith's Vision of Indians and Whites Coming Together
for Mutual Protection
Joseph Smith, (who used to study white magic, work with crystal seer stones, and was murdered with a Jupiter Amulet around his neck) once said, "If I told you but half of what I know, you would certainly kill me." He was at the time speaking privately to his closest followers, the Council of Twelve Apostles." Yet, the religion he founded has become but a shadow of its former self, and its people full of pride and arrogance, as the Book of Mormon predicted they would become!
In a dream shortly before he was murdered, he saw himself coming home to a farm that represented the Church. The farm was in a badly run-down condition. He noticed that the shutters and doors were falling off in many instances. He heard a fight going on in the barn, and upon investigation found men in mortal combat with knives fighting over what remained of the farm. He simply walked away..
And so it is today with the Mormons. Most of what Smith taught is ignored today within the church, which has almost totally turned it's back on its own founder. The excuse is "Times Have Changed" which makes me want to puke. God says "I am the same, yesterday, today, and forever." Another one Mormons are fond of is "God's house is a house of order."
Mormons today. more and more, believe that their Church President is
infallible, which is tantamount to saying he is God! Joseph Smith never taught
this, and his successors have no right to even suggest it, but it is being
taught by some missionaries in the field.
There is, in fact, a prophecy in the Bible of a "vile person" who would
go into the Temple declaring himself to be God! This is in essence what
the Mormon General Authorities are saying, and they are fulfilling the
prophecy, when they intimate that the President of their church (a.k.a.
prophet, seer and revelator) are infallible!
They love to quote that old B.S. that President Wilford Woodruff, 4th Mormon Church President supposedly wrote (it was not written by him) in the 1890 Manifesto, about God never allowing his Prophet to lead the Church astray.
This is pure hogwallow, as the true writers of the "manifesto" were contradicting a former prophet, which makes them totally out of order.....as well as any Mormon that has believed it since! Brigham Young stated unequivocally that if the Mormons didn't stop following their leaders blindly that they would be led to the brink of Hell, which is where they stand today!
But, all this does not discount the highly spiritual and correct teachings of Joseph Smith. He found a book written on Golden Plates up in Iroquois country back in the 1820's. It was addressed to, and a message to the Native Peoples, which the book called "Lamanites." It was the story of how descendants if the Tribes of Israel came to this American continent.
The first group, known as the Jaredites came about 5,000 years ago before the "confusion of tongues" spoken of in the Bible in the story of the Tower of Babel. A second group, the Nephites (and the seeds of the Lamanite insurrectionists) came about 700 B.C.E. and a third, the Mulekites, shortly thereafter.
Mulek was the son of the last of the political Kings of Israel --
which is VERY significant, because Mulek was the heir to the throne of Israel,
and would have transferred it here to the America's. Mulek's sisters, Tamar
Tephi and Scotta were taken along with the Ark of the Covenant, to Ireland
by the prophet Jeremiah. All of the Kings of Ireland, Argyleshire, Scotland,
England and Spain - and who know where else, are descended from these two
sisters! This fulfills the prophecy that there is an heir to the throne of
Israel among the Indians in Americas today!
The Book of Mormon has been supposedly disproved many times, but I wonder
how Joseph Smith pulled off this supposed fraud: Smith correctly described
the Arabic money system which is based on a system of 5's, unlike our system
based on 10's. That knowledge was unknown in the world of the 1820's and
1830s, until archaeologists unearthed many years later. There are many
such things in the book of Mormon, like the story of Hagoth's people, who
set sail heading west and were never heard from again. Guess what... there
is only two places that 9 chromosome corn grows indigenously.....coastal
Peru and all of the islands in the South Pacific. Sure makes you wonder,
doesn't it.
This is interesting, since John Adair, who married into Cherokee royalty, wrote a book "The History of the American Indian", published in 1795. In his book, he proved to his satisfaction and to the satisfaction of many others, that the burial customs, languages, clothing and many other cultural features of the Eastern Woodlands Indians he came into contact with showed prior contact with Hebrews. So, the idea wasn't new on the frontier in Upper New York in the 1820s.
The Book of Mormon focuses entirely on the high civilization that Native Peoples had accomplished here in the Americas, which reached its zenith 200 years after the death of Jesus Christ. It describes the visit of Christ after his crucifixion and subsequent resurrection. It describes a perfect society which remained at peace with itself for over 200 years, when civil wars began again.
Brigham Young, always impatient with the spiritually lazy Mormons, said that they could have had Zion (the perfect society like Enoch's people in the Bible had here on Earth just prior to their "translation" of ascension into heaven) in two years after they arrived here in 1847, But, alas, it seems the Mormons then, as now, were too interested in building up their farms, businesses and possessions. More recently, the Mormon Church has turned it's back on the Teaching of it's founder Joseph Smith, and Brigham Young that the American Indian would reign supreme someday in the Mormon religion.
And even though the Mormon religion was founded on the right to worship
according to their own conscience, they currently persecute people worshipping
according to their own conscience -- walking the Red Path -- in Moab for
practicing their native ways, calling it "Devil Worship".
The warden of the Utah State prison at Draper Utah has done everything he
can to block Inipi "Sweat Lodge" ceremonies, which have been proven to be
extremely therapeutic for drug, alcohol, and other problems which increase
recidivism: things which eventually cause the return of people to
prison.They have indeed become what they hated -- persecutors of the poor,
as Brigham Young predicted they would when they became a wealthy people.
They do all of this without actually attending an Inipi meeting (which they have been invited to), and believing only malicious hearsay. At these meetings, a bonfire is lit, and the Bible is read, and prayers are offered up to the Creator. Native music is played sometimes, which some locals say is "Devil Music." It would seem that anything of a Native nature is "of the Devil" to them.
Well, devil worship is what most Christians of the time accused the Mormons of doing in the 1840's, which was untrue then and now. But now, a once humble, meek and persecuted people are on top of the world -- especially financially. And unfortunately, some arrogant, ignorant Mormon's in Moab persecute their own neighbors, and bear false witness against them.
This type of hypocrisy is rampant among the Mormons, as well as just every other religious group in the world. Isaiah, looking forward to this time saw that no religion would find favor in the Lord's sight.....
From the Holy Bible, Book of Isaiah, Chapter 28, referring to the Mormons, who claim descendency from Ephraim, son of Jacob a.k.a. Israel:
1 Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, (Mormon's claim that they derive their ecclesiastical authority through their ties with the Tribe of Ephraim of the House of Israel) whose glorious beauty [is] a fading flower, which [are] on the head of the fat valleys (In Utah) of them that are overcome with wine! (Drunken with worldly power.)
2 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, [which] as a tempest of hail [and] a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, (a prediction of the coming flooding of the western United States) shall cast down to the earth with the hand.
3 The crown of pride, the drunkards (the State of Utah controls all sales of liquor) of Ephraim, (Mormons) shall be trodden under feet:
4 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.
5 In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people, (Native Americans)
6 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.
7 But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble [in] judgment.
8 For all tables are full of vomit [and] filthiness, [so that there is] no place [clean].
9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? [them that are] weaned from the milk, [and] drawn from the breasts. (Which means that once a person gets a basic understanding, it's time to give him lots to learn -- don't keep people ignorant babies!)
10 For precept [must be] upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little:
11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. (This is a real key to the Identity of this leader.... stammering means that he will be speaking slowly, with long pauses (not confused with stuttering) and speaks in a tongue foreign to the ruling white Europeans.....sounds like a Native elder to me! )
12 To whom he said, This [is] the rest [wherewith] ye may cause the weary to rest; and this [is] the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which [is] in Jerusalem (North America in this instance -- Jerusalem is wherever faithful people of Judeo-Christian people dwell.)
15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner [stone], a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand (The Mormons made agreements with the U.S. Government in 1890 to assure statehood [they sold out] in the year that the Creator told Joseph in vision that he would be returning privately, which is exactly what he did do -- He visited in Indians gathered at Walker Lake with Wovoca in 1890); when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only [to] understand the report.
20 For the bed is shorter than that [a man] can stretch himself [on it]: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself [in it]. (Indicating the future discomforts we will endure)
21 For the LORD shall rise up as [in] mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as [in] the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act. (Perhaps to do a total "end-run" around all the powers that be?)
Down in Moab near four-corners in southeastern Utah, thousands of people visit from Europe each year, to come to see the spiritual center of the Anasazis, who lived here 1300 years ago. Moab business people cater to them, selling them sacred Native American art, and just about every business in town uses the symbol of Kokopelli, the Anasazi messenger that brought the sacred maize to all the southwest tribes. These "Devil Symbols:" are good enough for Mormons to use to use to make money, but actual practice Native Religion is feared, ridiculed, and persecuted by some of these same Mormons.
Joseph Smith, in his final address to the High Council in Nauvoo, Illinois, stated that if the Mormons didn't shape up, that another RACE would be taken to another PLACE in the Rockies, and they, not the Mormons, would "Redeem Zion", or build the perfect society which would be received by the Creator himself, and visited by his representatives personally.
Joseph Smith and the church's twelve apostles also stated in a Proclamation to all of the Emperors, Kings, Princes, and heads of state in the world at the time that "The poor degraded son of the forest "(Indians) would someday "Stand up in majesty."
Brigham Young, who succeeded Joseph Smith warned the Mormons that "Our hope lies with the Indians" and "The Indians will yet save us," and "When they come, I fear that we will only follow them."
Other early Mormons, Heber C. Kimball in particular (Brigham Young called him "his prophet) prophesied of their most important future leader -- The Choice Seer, "an Indian Prophet" that would be their "One Like Unto Moses" and would lead them out of bondage from an evil world system just prior to the return of the Messiah. The 1909 english version of the Book of Mormon, as footnoted by Orson Pratt, one of the churches early Apostles declared that the "Choice Seer" described in 2 Nephi Chapter 3 was to be "A Future Indian Prophet."
Although an entire book could be, and in fact has been written on the subject of the White Horse/Red Horse, Prophecy, I will simply allow my readers to read and consider this vision, which is about the welding together of three peoples, red, back, and white in order to make one mighty one! It even mentions the yellow peoples as a conditional aspect.
There were two witnesses that actually wrote down this prophecy, but thousands heard Joseph Smith's speech that day in 1843. It was officially denied by the Mormon Church in the 1980s, even though the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) was founded upon, among other principles, the Law of Two or Three Witnesses. But, I guess the Mormons have turned their back on that, too.
The parts of this prophecy that have already been fulfilled are marked with an asterisk*.
The White Horse - Red Horse
Prophecy
"On or about the sixth day of May, 1843 a grand review of the Nauvoo Legion (about 2,500 men and their families - probably 7,500+ people. The legion was much larger than the standing army of the United States, and many said was better disciplined) was held in Nauvoo (the city on the Mississippi river, then larger than Chicago, that the Mormons built in Illinois). The Prophet Joseph complimented them for their good discipline and evolutions (military movements) performed. The weather being hot, he called for a glass of water.
With the glass of water in his hand, he said, "I will drink you a toast to the overthrow of the mobocrats," which he did in language as follows: "Here's wishing they were in the middle of the sea, in a stone canoe with iron paddles, and a shark swallow the canoe, and the Devil swallow the shark, and him locked up in the northwest corner (receives the least light) of Hell, the key lost and a blind man hunting for it." (Joseph was falsely arrested and imprisoned over 30 times)
The next morning a man who had heard the Prophet give the toast here referred to, visited the mansion of the Prophet, and so abused him with bad language, that he was ordered out by the Prophet. I was while the two were out, that my attention was attracted to them, and hearing the man speaking in a loud tone of voice, I went toward them, the man finally leaving. There were then present the Prophet Joseph Smith, Theodore Turley and myself [Edwin Rushton]. The Prophet began talking to us of the mobbings and drivings, the persecutions we as a people had endured. "But," said he, "We will have worse things to see; our persecutors will have all the mobbings they want. Don't wish them any harm, for when you see their sufferings, you will shed tears for them."
While this conversation was going on, we stood by his south wicker gate in a triangle. Turning to me, he said, "I want to tell you something. In the future I will speak in parables like John, the Revelator." (Little did I then think the prophet of the Lord would soon be slain in cold blood.)
Continuing, he said, "You will go to the Rocky Mountains*, and you will see a great and mighty people established*, which I will call the White Horse of Peace and Safety.'
When the Prophet said, "You will see," I asked him where he would be at that time." He answered, "I shall never go there*."
"Your enemies will continue to follow you with persecutions, and they will make obnoxious laws against you in Congress to destroy the White Horse*.
But you will have a friend or two to defend you and throw out the worst part of the laws, so they will not hurt much*.
You must continue to petition Congress all the time, but they will treat you like strangers and aliens, and they will not give you your rights but will govern you with strangers and commissioners*.
You will see the Constitution of the United States almost destroyed*; it will hang by a thread, and that thread as fine as the finest silk fiber*."
At this point the Prophet's countenance became sad, because as he said, "I love the Constitution; It was made by the inspiration of God, and it (the United States Constitution) will be preserved and saved by the efforts of the White Horse and the Red Horse who will combine in its defense.
The White Horse will raise an ensign on the tops of the mountains of peace and safety where all nations may flee unto for safety*.
The White Horse will find the mountains full of minerals, and they will become very rich*. You will find silver piled up the streets. (At this time, it must be remembered, that it was not known that precious metals existed either in the Rocky Mountains or in California.) You will see gold shoveled up like sand.
Gold will be but of little value even in a mercantile capacity, for the people of the world will have something else to do in seeking for salvation.
The time will come when the banks in every nation will fail, and only two places will be safe where people can deposit their gold and treasure. These places will be the White Horse and England's vaults.
A terrible revolution will take place in the land of America, such as has never been seen before, for the land will be literally left without a supreme government, and every species of wickedness will run rampant; it will be so terrible that father will be against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother. The most terrible scenes of murder and bloodshed and rapine that have ever been looked upon will take place.
Peace will be taken from the earth, and there will be no peace only in the Rocky Mountains. This will cause hundreds and thousands of the honest in heart of the world to gather there, not because they are saints (Mormons), but for safety, ad because they would not take up the sword against their neighbors.
You will be so numerous that you will be in danger of famine, but not for the want of seed time and harvest, but that so many will have to be fed. Many will come with bundles under their arms to escape the calamities, and there will be no escape, only by fleeing to Zion (the Rockies).
Those that come to you will try and keep the laws and be one with you, for they will see their unity and the greatness of your organizations.
The Turkish Empire of the Crescent will be one of the first powers that will be disrupted as a power...(NOTE: this is happening right now as this newsletter goes to press...as of today, Turkey is destabilizing from within.... Prophecykeeper's spirit helpers say that "the government of Turkey will fall and World War III will follow.)
England and France are now bitter enemies, but they will be allied together in order to keep Russia from conquering the world*.
The two popes, Greek and Catholic will come together.
While that terrible revolution of which mention has been made is going on, England will be neutral until it becomes so inhuman that she will interfere to stop the shedding of blood. England and France will then unite together and come with intention to make peace, not to subdue the nation. They will find the nation so broken up and so many claiming government, still there will be no responsible government. Then it will appear to the other nations or powers as though England had taken possession of the country.
The Black Horse (Negros) will flee to the invaders and will join with them, for they will have fear of becoming slaves again, knowing England does not believe n slavery, fleeing to them, they believed they would make them safe. Armed with British bayonets, the doings of the Black Horse will be terrible...."
Continuing, he said,: "During this time, the great White Horse will have gathered strength, sending out elders to get the honest in heart of the United States to stand by the Constitution of the United States, as it was given by inspiration of the Lord.
In these days, God will set up a kingdom, never to be thrown down, for other kingdoms to come unto....
Peace and safety in the Rocky Mountains will be protected by a cordon band of the White Horse and the Red Horse.....
Power will be given to rebuke nations afar off......
The last great struggle Zion (the White and Red Horses) will have to content with will be when the whole of America will be made the Zion ( True Homeland) of God.
Those opposing will be called Gog and Magog. The nations of the world led by the Russian(s).....and their power, will be great, but all opposition will be overcome and this land will than be the Zion of our God.
Editor's note - Today, the leader of the hard-line communists in Russia, waits for Russia do come to the conclusion that their current experiment in capitalism is a dismal failure, and to elect him their leader.
His name is Vladimir (=World Ruler) Wolfovitch (=Son of a wild dog) Zhironovsky, author of "Last Dash to the South," the plan for the invasion of the middle east which is prophesied in the Holy Bible. He was born in the part of Russia that was known anciently as "Gog."
Moscow was once known as Meshech. Tubalsk was once known as Tubal. See Genesis 10:2, 1 Chronicles 1:5, and Ezekiel 38 for the prophecy of the future invasion is Israel. The banks of the Jordan River overflowed on 2/22/97, fulfilling a long awaited for prophecy!

The Millennarian World of Early Mormonism by Grant Underwood
click above to go to Amazon.com's website for this book!
Card catalog description
This book provides the most detailed study yet of early Mormon thought about
the "end times." Underwood shows how Mormonism from 1830 to 1846 was profoundly
influenced by its views of an imminent second coming of Christ and millennial
transformation of the earth. In particular, the book explores the ways in
which early LDS interpretation of the Bible and the Book of Mormon affected,
and was affected by, Mormon millennial doctrines. The book represents the
first comprehensive linkage of the history of early Mormonism and millennial
thought, areas in which, before now, "cross-pollination has been occasional
at best." The author also places Mormon millennial thought in the broader
context of Judeo-Christian ideas about the end of the world. He shows, for
instance, how Mormons rejected the predominant nineteenth-century American
view that religious revivals and foreign missions, rather than the personal
return of Christ, would usher in the millennium. Probing LDS perceptions
of the institutions and values prevalent before the Civil War, Underwood
demonstrates how the early Mormons actually were quite moderate, contrary
to earlier views of them as countercultural or even revolutionary. In fact,
Underwood points out, the Mormons are an excellent example of a millennarian
group that could level a withering critique at the world around them, yet
remain very much a part of the dominant culture.
