This understanding came from D.C. 85:6a, August 9, 1997 in the early
morning hours as I read my daily scripture reading.
"And again, verily I say unto you, The earth abideth the law of a
celestial kingdom, for it filleth the measure of its creation, and transgresseth not the
law. Wherefore, it shall be sanctified; yea, notwithstanding it shall die, it shall be
quickened again, and shall abide the power by which it is quickened, and the righteous
shall inherit it: for, notwithstanding they die, they also shall rise again a spiritual
body: they who are of a celestial spirit shall receive the same body, which was a natural
body, even ye shall receive your bodies, and your glory shall be that glory by which your
bodies are quickened.
-
 Ye who
are quickened by a portion of the celestial glory, shall then receive of the same, even a
fullness:
-
and they
who are quickened by a portion of the terrestrial glory, shall then receive of the same,
even a fullness:
-
and they
who remain shall also be quickened; nevertheless, they shall return again to their own
place, to enjoy that which they are willing to receive, because they were not willing to
enjoy that which they might have received."
God Does Not Cast Pearls
""For what doth it profit a man if a gift is bestowed upon him an he receive
not the gift? Behold, he rejoices not in that which is given unto him, neither rejoices in
him who is the giver of the gift." Vs. 7
"That which is governed by law, is also preserved by law, and perfected and
sanctified by the same.
That which breaketh a law, and abideth not by law, but seeketh to become a law unto
itself, and willeth to abide in sin, and altogether abideth in sin, can not be sanctified
by law, neither by mercy, justice, or judgment; therefore, they must remain filthy
still" Vs. 8
What's Out There In The Universe?
Every kingdom has laws, bounds, and conditions, and all beings who abide not in those
conditions are not justified; they will be brought to judgment by God, their Father.
"All kingdoms have a law given: and there are many kingdoms; for there is no space
in which there is no kingdom; and there is no kingdom in which there is no space, either a
greater or lesser kingdom. And unto every kingdom is given a law; and unto every law there
are certain bounds also, and conditions.
"All beings who abide not in those conditions, are not justified; for intelligence
cleaveth unto intelligence; wisdom receiveth wisdom; truth embraceth truth; virtue loveth
virtue; light cleaveth unto light; mercy hath compassion on mercy, and claimeth her own;
justice continueth its course, and claimeth its own judgment goeth before the face of him
who sitteth upon the throne, and governeth and executeth all things:
God Is In Total Control
"He comprehendeth all things, and all things are before Him and all
things are round about Him; and He is above all things, and in all things, and is through
all things, and is round about all things, and all things are by Him, and of Him; even
God, forever and ever."
The Universe Has Laws Given By God Which Are
Unchangeable
"And again, verily I say unto you, He hath given a law unto all
things by which they move in their times, and their seasons; and their courses are fixed;
even the courses of the heavens, and the earth; which comprehend the earth and all the
planets;"
Time Measured Only To Man
"And they give light to each other in their times, and in their
seasons, in their minutes, in their hours, in their days, in their weeks, in their months,
in their years: all these are one year with God, but not with man. The earth rolls upon
her wings; and the sun giveth his light by day, and the moon giveth her light by night;
and the stars also giveth their light, as they roll upon their wings, in their glory, in
the midst of the power of God."
God Sent Jesus Into This Dark World
"Unto what shall I liken these kingdoms, that ye may understand?
Behold, all these are kingdoms, and any man who hath seen any or the least of these, hath
seen God moving in His majesty and power. I say unto you, he hath seen Him: nevertheless,
He who came unto His own was not comprehended. . The light shineth in darkness, and the
darkness comprehendeth it not; nevertheless, the day shall come when you shall comprehend
even God; being quickened in Him, and by Him. Then shall ye know that he have seen Me,
that I am, and that I am the true light that is in you, and the you are in Me, otherwise
ye could not abound." vs. 12
This Solar System Is Example of Others
"Behold, I will liken these kingdoms unto a man having a field, and
he sent fort his servants into the field, to dig in the field; and he said unto the first,
'Go ye and labor in the field, and in the first hour I will come unto you, and ye shall
behold the joy of my countenance': and He said unto the second, 'Go ye also into the
field, and in the second hour I will visit you with the joy of My countenance'; and also
unto the third, saying, 'I will visit you'; and unto the fourth, and so on unto the
twelfth.
And the lord of the field went unto the first in the
first hour, and tarried with him all that hour, and he was made
glad with the light of the countenance of his lord; and then he withdrew from the first
that he might visit the second also, and the third, and the fourth, and so on unto the
twelfth; and thus they all received the light of the countenance of their lord;
every man in his hour, and in his time; and in his
season; beginning at the first, and so on unto the last, and from the last unto the first,
and from the first unto the last; every man in his own order,
until
his hour was finished, even according as his lord had commanded him,'
[WHY?] that his lord might be glorified in him, and he in him, that they all might be
glorified.
Therefore, unto this parable will I liken
all
these kingdoms, and the inhabitants thereof; every kingdom in its hour,
and in its time, and in its season; even according to the decree which God hath made. And
again, verily I say unto you, My friends, I leave these sayings with you to ponder in your
hearts with this commandment which I give unto you, that ye shall
call upon Me
while I am near;
-
e. knock and it shall be opened unto you;
-
f. whatsoever ye ask the Father in My name it shall be given unto
you, that is expedient for you; and if ye ask anything that is not expedient for you, it
shall turn unto your condemnation.
His Counsel:
"If your eye be single to My glory, your whole bodies shall be filled with
light, and there shall be no darkness in you, and that body which is filled with light
comprehendeth all things."
What To Do
Sanctify yourselves that your minds become single to
God and the days will come that you will see Him: for He will unveil His face unto
you, and it shall be in His own time and in His own way, and according to His own will.
-
cast away your idle thoughts and your
excess of
laughter far from you:
-
assemble, organize, prepare, sanctify, "purify your hearts, and
cleanse your hands and your feet before me, that I may make you clean; that I may testify
unto your Father, and your God, and My God, that you are clean from the blood of this
wicked generation, that I may fulfill this promise, this great and last promise which I
have m
-
Continue in prayer and fasting from this time forth.
-
Teach one another the doctrine of the
kingdom; teach ye diligently and My grace shall attend you, that you may
be instructed
more perfectly in theory, in principle, in doctrine, in the law of the gospel, in all
things that pertain unto the kingdom of God, that is expedient for you to understand:
-
Creation: of things both in heaven, and in earth,
and under the earth;
-
History past, present and future: things which
have been; things which are; things which must shortly come to pass;
-
Domestic life: things which are at home; things
which are abroad;
-
War and intrigues: the wars and the perplexities
of the nations;
-
Prophecy: and the judgments which are on the land;
-
Countries, governments, religions: and a knowledge
also of countries, and of kingdoms, that ye may be prepared in all things when I shall
send you again, to magnify the calling whereunto I have called you, and the mission with
which I have commissioned you.
What Is That Mission?
"Behold, I sent you out to testify and warn the people, and it
becometh every man who hath been warned, to warn his neighbor; therefore, they are left
without excuse, and their sins are upon their own heads."
Stay Clean From The Sins Of The World - Earth Coming to Judgment
"Abide in the liberty wherewith ye are made free; entangle not
yourselves in sin, but let your hands be clean, until the Lord come, for not many days
hence and the earth shall tremble, and reel to and fro as a drunken man, and the sun shall
hide his face, and shall refuse to give light, and the moon shall be bathed in blood and
the stars shall become exceeding angry, and shall cast themselves down as a fig that
falleth from off a fig tree." vs. 24
Earth Convulsing In Death
All things shall be in commotion--
A last warning to people on earth: "angels shall fly through the midst of heaven,
crying with a loud voice, sounding the trump of God, saying, 'Prepare ye, prepare ye, O
inhabitants of the earth, for the judgment of our God is come: behold, and lo, the
Bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet Him.' "
A great sign shall appear in heaven and all people shall see it together, an angel
shall sound his trump saying the great church (Roman Catholic Church) the mother of
abominations, ...is bound in bundles and she is ready to be burned.
The angel shall sound his trump loud and long, and all nations shall hear it, then
silence in heaven for the space of half an hour. Immediately after the curtain of heaven
shall be unfolded as a scroll and the face of the Lord shall be unveiled.
Resurrection, Judgment, and
Celestial Crowning At The Glory Coming
Then the resurrection of the firstfruits of Christ. These shall
descend with Him.
Another
angel shall blow the second trumpet and those in the prison who have received the gospel
so they could be judged according to men in the flesh shall come forth
The third
trump will blow which will bring forth the spirits of men who are to be judged and found
under condemnation. These will be sent back to the prison house for the thousand years and
little season. (this is telestial glory--those from hell to receive life after paying the
price because they wouldn't accept the gospel and abide the law of the universe.
The
fourth trumpet will sound and announce that there are still those in the pit who will not
be called forward,for these are the sons of perdition who defy. These will be cast off
with Satan for eternity on the final day of judgment. After that Judgment Day, this earth
is ready for eternity. Then will Christ go and visit the next system to teach them about
God.
The fifth
angel will sound his trumpet (which angel has charge of the everlasting gospel). Every
knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess while they hear the sound that God is God,
and to Him belongs the glory, and the hour of His judgment is come.
Sixth
angel will sound announcing the fall of the Catholic Church
The
seventh angel will blow his trumpet saying, "It is finished." The angels will be
crowned, saints will be filled with His glory, and receive their inheritance, and be
made equal with Him.
Teaching Begins In Heaven
First
angel blows his trumpet and everyone living
will
be taught what happened in the first thousandth year of Earth's creation: the secret
acts of men and the mighty works of God.
Second
trump will sound revealing the secret acts of men, the thoughts and intents of their
hearts, and the mighty works of God in the second thousandth year. This will be repeated
until the 6th angel has revealed the secret acts of men--i.e. 6 thousand years of
rebellion on Earth.
The
seventh angel sounds his trump and declares there is time no longer and Satan shall be
bound for a thousand years. Therefore, this teaching time
must be in heaven, for Satan is still loose on earth during this time of the first six
trumps. The seventh trump ushers in the Millennial Reign. We assume that Satan cannot
abide on Earth during any part of the Millennial Reign.
After the
thousand years Satan will be loosed on earth for a little season so he may gather up his
armies, the hosts of hell. They will come to battle against Michael (Adam) and his armies
in the battle of the great God.
Satan and
his armies will be cast away into their own place where they shall not have power over the
saints any more at all; for Michael shall fight their battles, and shall overcome Satan,
who is trying to take the throne of Christ. vs. 34
