D&C 29:7 And ye are called to bring to pass the gathering of mine elect; for mine elect hear my voice and harden not their hearts; Moses 4:4 And he became Satan, yea, even the devil, the father of all lies, to deceive and to blind men, and to lead them captive at his will, even as many as would not hearken unto my voice. JS Matthew 1:37 And whoso treasureth up my word, shall not be deceived, Jacob 4:6 Umbrella Quote: Keep your eyes riveted on the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. We will not lead you astray. We cannot. Let me tell you why. Every week that I am in town, I attend a meeting of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve on the fourth floor of the Salt Lake Temple. If you could see the process by which decision and direction comes from that meeting, you would have a deep sense of confidence and comfort that the will of the Lord is being taught by the leaders of the Church.

What will happen, and what should you be doing now? 2 Ezra 12:18- speaking of the U.S- there shall arise great strivings, and it shall stand in peril of falling: nevertheless, it shall not then fall, but shall be restored again unto the beginning. D&C 101:77-80- The Lord established the Constitution BY: " Will the Constitution be destroyed? No. It will be held inviolate by this people; and, as Joseph Smith said, "The time will come when the destiny of the nation will hang upon a single thread. At that critical juncture, this people will step forth and save it from the threatened destruction. " (Journal of Discourses Volume 7, 17) Ether 2:9,12 Joseph Smith, shortly after he escaped from Liberty Jail, made his way to Nauvoo, met with the 12, and shared with them about a vision he saw. :I saw men hunting the lives of their own sons, and brothers murdering brothers, women killing their own daughters, and daughters seeking the lives of their mothers. I saw armies arrayed against armies, I saw blood desolation, fires, etc., The son of man hath said that mother shall be against daughter and daughter against mother. These things are at our doors. They will follow the saints of God from city to city. Satan will rage, and the spirit of the devil is now enraged. I do not know how soon these things will take place and with a view of them shall I cry peace? No! I will lift up my voice and testify of them. How long you will have good crops and the famine be kept off I do not know. When the fig tree leaves, know then the summer is nigh at hand. (Joseph Smith Papers, p.13) Elder Jedediah M. Grant was present when Joseph described what he had seen to some of the brethren. He said that Joseph told them he had gazed upon the scene his vision presented until his heart sickened, and he besought the Lord to close it up again. (Grant, improvement era, February 1915, 287) John Taylor: "When the people have torn to shreds the Constitution of the United States, the Elders of Israel will be found holding it up to the nations of the earth, and proclaiming liberty and equal rights to all men, and extending the hand of fellowship to the oppressed of all nations. This is part of the program, and as long as we do what is right and fear God, he will help us and stand by us under all circumstances. (Taylor, Gospel Kingdom, 219)

Zechariah 13:1 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness. 6 And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends. Hosea 3:5 Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the Lord their God, and David their king; and shall fear the Lord and his goodness in the latter days. D&C 45: 51 And then shall the Jews look upon me and say: What are these wounds in thine hands and in thy feet? 52 Then shall they know that I am the Lord; for I will say unto them: These wounds are the wounds with which I was wounded in the house of my friends. I am he who was lifted up. I am Jesus that was crucified. I am the son of God. 53 And then shall they weep because of their iniquities; then shall they lament because they persecuted their king. 2 Nephi 25:16 “After [the Jews] have been scattered, and the Lord God hath scourged them by other nations for the space of many generations, yea, even down from generation to generation until they shall be persuaded to believe in Christ, the Son of God” Isaiah 26:2- open the gates- let the righteous nation, which keepeth the truth, in Jews gathered to Israel: “He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiles of Israel; he will assemble the scattered people of Judah from the four quarters of the earth.” (Isaiah 11:12; see also Jeremiah 23:3, 8; Ezekiel 28:25; Ezekiel 11:17; Zechariah 10:6–12; Psalm 147:2)

"One can only think about truth as relative if God is not around." - D. Todd Christopherson Elder Bruce R. McConkie described the conflict that occurred in heaven: “What kind of war? The same kind that prevails on earth; the only kind Satan and spirit beings can wage—a war of words, a tumult of opinions, a conflict of ideologies; a war between truth and error, between light and darkness. … And the battle lines are still drawn. It is now on earth as it was then in heaven; every man must choose which general he will follow” (Doctrinal New Testament Commentary, 3:518).

In this episode, we discuss the foretold return of the Lost Ten Tribes. In the beginning, I mistakingly said "ten tribes" make up the Israelite nation- when I meant to say "twelve tribes". Also- I said that the Apocrypha was removed by the Catholics - actually- it was Martin Luther to first separate the Apocrypha because it was not found in the Masoretic text. he placed it between the old and the new testament- and they were known as inter-testamental books. - later, it was not printed with the Bible, some think- in order to save money on printing.
