What is Your Vision of Zion?

On December 1, 2023, we joined a group of dedicated volunteers to visit Hopiland. Together, we brought wood for fuel, cottonwood for kachina doll making, call for ceremonies, food, and clothing.Orlan, who is a member of the Yellow Fox Clan, owns a kiva in the village of Moenkopi, which is next to Tuba City, AZ. Orlan invited us to enter his kiva where we could discuss spiritual matters. Eighty-three volunteers fitted into this humble structure. We were there for over 2 hours, and Orlan spoke to us and talked about the Hopi ways, how when, they get together for their ceremonies in the kivas, they pray for all humanity and for us to return to the peaceful simple ways of life and living.He said a prayer in the Hopi tongue for us and let one of our Christian brothers pray as well. Mike sweat, who runs the nonprofit organization UnitedRain.org, and it has helped to get volunteers to assist the Hopi, reminded us more than once how rare and blessed of an occasion this was to enter a kiva as an outsider. He was only aware of this happening with four other individuals on past occasions. This may have been the first time that a Christian prayer was ever offered in a kiva.In this video, we will chronicle our trip, some things that we learned, and some efforts being made to assist these people and to feel their love and humility. We sincerely hope this podcast will encourage people to get involved in helping them further their economic prosperity as they seek for replacement revenue from losing coal mining jobs and receipts for the sale of coal, which previously provided important financial stability to their communities.

Isaiah Chapter 29 addresses the city of Jerusalem on one level, and Zion on another level, which are metaphorically referred to as "Ariel." The chapter prophesies both judgment and hope for those who dwell in Zion (and anciently, Jerusalem). It begins with a warning of distress and siege for Ariel, indicating a period of suffering and hardship. The people are depicted as spiritually blind and deaf, unable to understand God's messages. However, the chapter also promises a dramatic turnaround. It foretells a time when the spiritually blind will suddenly see and the deaf will hear. This transformation is described as a sudden, miraculous event, akin to the deafening roar of many nations being turned into a dream-like whisper. This indicates a divine intervention that will change the course of events and bring about a profound spiritual awakening. The chapter concludes with a promise of redemption and enlightenment for the humble and contrite, suggesting a future restoration of Jerusalem and its people.To review show notes, visit https://www.visionofzion.org

In this episode, we analyze what has been nicknamed the White Horse Prophecy. It has been alleged the Joseph Smith gave this prophecy on or about May 6, 1843. Edwin Rushton and Theodore Turley stated they were witnesses to this prophecy and gave their testimony to its validity. A few years before the death of Edwin Rushton in 1904, he was requested by several close friends to make a recorded and notarized statement regarding this prophecy. His friend James H. Anderson acted as recorder and Arnold G. Giauque was notary for the following account of this prophecy.

For Shawn White's show notes, go here.Deliverance and Punishment Verse 1 talks about the Lord punishing Leviathan, a symbolic serpent or dragon, representing chaos, evil, or potentially hostile nations, with His mighty and great sword.Restoration of IsraelVerses 2-6 shift to a metaphor of a vineyard, symbolizing Israel. God will tend and guard this vineyard, protecting it from harm and enabling it to blossom and fill the whole world with fruit. The imagery shows God's favor toward Israel and His plan to prosper it.- The subsequent verses address God's plan for His people and the nations. God's intention is to bring peace and restoration rather than destruction. He seeks to reconcile with His people and to make them flourish.Judgment and RestorationVerses 7-11 discuss judgment but also indicate a purpose behind it. The inhabitants of the city (possibly Jerusalem or a symbolic city representing the people of God) have been affected by God's judgment due to their transgressions. Yet, this judgment intends to purify them, to facilitate their turning back to God. It indicates that the people did not turn to their Creator despite the hardship and judgment they faced.Gathering of the ExiledVerses 12-13 speak to a future time of gathering and restoration. The Lord will thresh and harvest His grain – a metaphor for the gathering of His people from their places of dispersion among the nations. A great trumpet will be blown, and those who were perishing in Assyria or who were exiled in Egypt will come and worship the Lord in Jerusalem, symbolizing a regathering and restoration of God's people.This chapter blends themes of judgment and restoration, revealing a God who punishes evil and iniquity but is also redemptive and faithful towards His people, promising a future gathering and renewal for Israel. It interweaves messages about God's dealing with His own people and with the nations, offering both warning and hope.

Isaiah 25 is a song of praise to God for His faithfulness, power, and the promises He will fulfill. Go here for chapter notes. The chapter can be broken down into the following key themes:Praise for God's Faithfulness and Power (verses 1-5): Isaiah praises the Lord for His wonderful deeds, plans formed of old, and for making a city into a heap of ruins. The prophet speaks about how God has been a stronghold to the poor and needy and a shelter from the storm.Banquet on Mount Zion (verses 6-8): Isaiah prophesies about a future time when the Lord will prepare a feast of rich foods and aged wine on Mount Zion for all people. He will swallow up death forever and wipe away tears from all faces. This represents the ultimate victory of God over death and sorrow.Rejoicing in Salvation (verses 9-12): The people of God will rejoice in His salvation. They will proclaim, "Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him." The Lord will bring down the pride of the ruthless and lay low the lofty city.

Discussion with Shawn White about his interpretation of Isaiah Chapter 24. For show notes, go here. Chapters 24-27 talk about the end of the tribulations, the end of the 3 and a half years. To follow along with the text, go to YouTube Channel, Vision of Zion. Go here to watch the episode.Isaiah chapter 24 primarily focuses on the coming judgment of God upon the earth. The chapter describes a global cataclysmic event where the entire world faces divine punishment for its disobedience and wickedness. It portrays a scene of devastation, chaos, and desolation, where cities lie in ruins, the earth is shaken, and its inhabitants are in anguish.Throughout the chapter, Isaiah emphasizes the universal nature of this judgment, affecting all nations and peoples, regardless of their status or power. The passage underscores God's sovereignty over creation and His ultimate authority in meting out justice.Amid the gloom, there is also a glimmer of hope as Isaiah hints at a remnant of faithful individuals who will survive the cataclysm and praise God in the midst of the desolation. See Revelation 21:12 "And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel." This remnant represents those who have remained faithful to God despite the prevailing moral decay and who will ultimately find redemption and restoration.In summary, Isaiah chapter 24 serves as a vivid portrayal of divine judgment on a global scale, highlighting the consequences of human disobedience and the unwavering sovereignty of God. It also suggests that even in the darkest of times, a faithful remnant will find hope and redemption.

Note: some mistakes were made during the recording of this podcast. For example, Percy, who studied the moonstones from the original drawings of the Salt Lake Temple, was a man and convert to the church--Percy Livingston. All of known errors were corrected in the YouTube version of this podcast, which can be found on my YouTube Channel, Vision of Zion - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@visionofzion4784; Go here to watch the video version, the visual images are extremely helpful in understanding this episode.This is a departure of our regular programming on the book of Isaiah.This is episode 66 (the same as the number of chapters in Isaiah, and it was recorded on the day of the August 2023 Blue Moon--but that's all just a coincidence, right?) We scratch the surface of symbolism, planned and carried out, of the exterior of Salt Lake Temple. We discuss the possible significance of the original moonstone pattern layout of the Salt Lake Temple by Brigham Young and Truman Angel, and other symbol details on the original drawings before the material for construction was switched over to granite. We discuss the significance of the alignment of stars in September of 2017 as a possible fulfillment of prophecy in Revelation 12:1-2, and the significance (if any) of the two total solar eclipses of 2017 and 2024 that cross over in Missouri. We also talk about the Tambura volcano eruption of the early nineteenth century and the millennialism that existed subsequent to this event, including predictions by both William Miller and Joseph Smith, Jr., who arrived at completely different conclusions about the timing of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

In this short chapter of six verses, God finds a way to humble Isaiah, so that he can learn how to rely upon Him. Likewise, we need to learn how to exercise our faith and follow the promptings we are given by the Holy Ghost.Alma 32:21: "And now as I said concerning faith— a faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye b hope for things which are c not seen, which are true."Hebrews 11:1: ""Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."Even God uses faith in creating worlds without end: "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear." Hebrews 11:3For a detailed discussion of faith as the "moving cause of all action," See Joseph Smith's Lectures on Faith, Lecture No. 1.

This chapter in Isaiah discusses both the destruction that will come upon the nation of Israel, as well as its triumph over its enemies. The chapter provides several markers of God's plan leading up to the establishment of Zion and the coming of Messiah: civil war at every level (families, neighbors, cities, and kingdoms). What is the root of this contention? The loss of the spirit guiding people, bad counsel (accidental or intentional?), seeking divine guidance from the wrong sources, as did Saul (1 Samuel 28:7). These missteps, if not avoided, will lead to a cruel, fierce king ruling over them.To read Shawn White's show notes, click here.

Today, May 4, 2023, is the U.S.A.'s National Day of Prayer. As the Children of Israel prayed for relief from their enslavement in Egypt when Pharoahs came to power "who knew not Joseph," so we need to pray for our nation's escape from the false ideas and attacks on our freedoms. We ask that you join us in prayer for divine intervention in exposing the falsehoods that are hurting our nation and pray that the truth will be exposed. Angels are available to assist, but we have to ask for their help--or their power to assist cannot be loosed.

Shawn White describes his vision of seeing U.S. citizens, forced into encampments, the dire conditions that will exist, and God's hand helping those called upon the free the captives--800,000 of them. It will be reminiscent of George Washington crossing Delaware on the night of December 25, 1776, and leading his army in the forefront in the battle of Trenton where the Hessians were defeated, an event which could have only been won by God's divine intervention.For the show notes, go to Vision of Zion.

Jesus Christ has instructed us to study the words of Isaiah. Why? Because they apply to our day. Isaiah 18 clearly describes crop failure...but where? Shawn White shares his views on this matter, using the translation of Isaiah from the scholar Avraham Gileadi (Isaiahexplained.com), he believes the description of this country is the United States of America.Shawn also wants to bring to attention the KJV version of Isaiah as instructive, particularly v. 5: For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches.For the show notes, go to Vision of Zion.

We are at war with Lucifer (and his adherents). We have been since before we were sent down to this earth. Lucier seeks to destroy the agency of humankind. The freedom to choose is inherent in all of us. We reap the blessings or cursings of our decisions. Agency is central to God's plan for our eternal progression, Lucifer wanted to change all of that, he wanted to impose goodness upon all, and in exchange, he coveted recognition, all of the glory, and even God's seat on the throne. His good looks, gift of persuasion, and empty promises of salvation for all led many of God's spirit children to go along with his plans. Although many were convinced to change their minds and trust their Heavenly Father, a third of the hosts of heaven were persuaded that obtaining a body and the tests of mortality were too hard to bear.God's plan required redemption. It required a Savior and atonement for sin. God's only begotten Son agreed to fulfill this role. Through His power, we become resurrected with a glorified body. Through Him, we can overcome our sins, repent, and move closer to the eternal goal of becoming more like Christ in our attitudes, disposition, and personal attributes.The division between those who agreed to follow God's eternal plan versus Lucifer's short-sighted, hollow guarantees of salvation became an all-out war. In the end, Michael the Archangel and his armies overcame Lucifer and his adherents; ultimately, Lucifer and his followers were cast out of heaven, and down to this earth.The war in heaven did not end the conflict. Rather, it set the stage for the ongoing conflict between good and evil on Planet Earth. Evil begins with false ideologies or beliefs, which lead to sin, error, mistakes, and misguided actions. The fight between truth and error is prophesied to culminate in these, the last days. We are also told by God's oracles which group will ultimately win this conflict--God and His people.In this question-and-answer session, Shawn White answers many questions relating to the battle between good and evil, both in pre-mortality and mortality. He explains how he saw Lucifer operate among us before we came down to earth. He talks about how we can fight back, and how we can lessen the coming calamities through righteous living. We refer repeatedly to the scriptures in an effort to find parallels between his recollections from his out-of-body experience, and what God has revealed in scripture.

In this episode, Jane discusses some significant events leading up to the Second Coming that are especially significant to members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints:In 1984, Dallin Oaks and Russell Nelson were called to be apostles at the same time. Shortly thereafter, she recalled that when Dallin Oaks became a "president," either the President of the Quorum of the Twelve apostles or President of the Church; it was a time marker of significant changes within and without the church.In 2015, one of her impressions was fulfilled that apostles would die in rapid succession. This occurred when three of died within this year.She saw Joseph Smith leading a group of people, in fulfillment of his mission that has not yet been completed; it appears related to the redemption of the land of Zion. His ongoing involvement, along with other dispensation heads, during this "Dispensation of the Fulness of times, is well documented. See The autobiography of Parley Parker Pratt.; The life and travels of Parley P. Pratt : Pratt, Parley Parker 1807-1857, pp. 370-371, D&C 101:56 ("And the lord of the vineyard said unto one of his servants: Go and gather together the residue of my servants, and take all the strength of mine house, which are my warriors, my young men, and they that are of middle age also among all my servants, who are the strength of mine house, save those only whom I have appointed to tarry"); D&C 103:21 ("Verily, verily I say unto you, that my servant Joseph Smith, Jun. is the man to whom I likened the servant to whom the Lord of the vineyard spake in the parable which I have given unto you"); and Visions of Glory by John Pontius, Chapter Seven.

In this episode, we ask Jane about her recollections concerning the last days. In this episode, we cover apostasy among church members, the causes of that apostasy, the gathering of saints, the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem, the anti-christ who shall appear in the temple after three-and-a-half years, and the probable meaning of the 70 weeks set forth in Daniel chapter 9:24-27: '""Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate." This corroborates with the scriptures set forth in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4: "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God." As far as time is concerned, see Daniel 12:7, "And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished,"

In this first installment of a second interview with Jane, we begin to discuss events relating to the last days that she witnessed during her out-of-body experience as a child, which began coming back to her from the time she was in her twenties until the present time. This first installment is basically an overview of the things she saw. We will get into more details in the next few parts.

Part Four of the first interview with Jane who, when she was a child, was called out of her body and taken up into heaven, where she was shown events of her premortal past, reminded of the covenants she made, and the reasons she needed to remain in mortality. Most of the details of this vision were taken from her, until one evening, a priesthood holder was prompted to visit her and give her a blessing. In that blessing, she was blessed that her memory would be unsealed. From that time until the present, she has continued to recall things that she was shown during her out-of-body experience. She will share some of those recollections in a later podcast.

Continuation of an interview with Jane. In part three of her interview, she describes the beauty and organization of heaven as she recalls it. She also talks about her understanding of the veil that separates these memories from our limitations in mortality.

Continuation of Interview with Jane, who had an out-of-body experience when she was a child. Due to our experiences in pre-mortality, were we foreordained to accomplish certain things in this life? Or is there such a thing as predestination? What is the role of free agency?

Jane was very young when she was called out of her body. She was taken into a heavenly place, with throngs of angels awaiting her. She met the Savior. She overwhelming love she felt from him, and for him, is hard to describe. With a guide (John the Revelator) by her side, She recalled many interactions during her pre-mortal experience and was reminded that she had been sent to earth to fulfill certain covenants that she had made with the Savior. All of us are sent here for various reasons and missions to fulfill.

Jesus Christ existed before he came to earth in the flesh. (John 1:1). So did we, like the prophet Jeremiah, who was told, "Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee." (Jeremiah 1:4,5). We are literally the offspring of God in the spirit. In our pre-mortal life, we were given the opportunity to come to this earth to receive a body and to be tested as part of our eternal progression.Central to this joyous plan of progression is the exercise of our free will--agency. How we choose to use this agency will determine the outcome of our life's journey and final destination.Lucifer introduced his so-called "plan of salvation" before we came down to this earth. Lucifer's proposal was to eliminate agency and in exchange, guarantee the salvation of all, and claim the right to unseat God and take all the glory. Many agreed with his plan, and many did not. We went to war over which plan we would support. Ultimately, God's plan was adopted, this eternal plan is based upon eternal principles, which honor our agency. A plan of redemption was required when we fall short. Unfortunately, one-third of our brothers and sisters followed Lucifer; consequently, they did not obtain bodies, and were cast out of heaven and down upon this earth along with Lucifer (Revelation 12; Jude 1:6).The war that began in heaven is being played out upon the earth today. Lucifer still wants to usurp God's power and position and convince us we were wrong in accepting His plan. Lucifer and his followers are working hard to destroy our agency through those who do not support God's plan. These individuals are convinced that we are incapable of righteously exercising our inherent agency. They seek to control and dominate us.In this podcast, I discuss with returning guest, Shawn White, the painstaking preparations that we made concerning our lives, the destiny of the earth, and humankind--long before we ever came here to live. This is a six-part series.

Jesus Christ existed before he came to earth in the flesh. (John 1:1). So did we, like the prophet Jeremiah, who was told, "Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee." (Jeremiah 1:4,5). We are literally the offspring of God in the spirit. In our pre-mortal life, we were given the opportunity to come to this earth to receive a body and to be tested as part of our eternal progression.Central to this joyous plan of progression is the exercise of our free will--agency. How we choose to use this agency will determine the outcome of our life's journey and final destination.Lucifer introduced his so-called "plan of salvation" before we came down to this earth. Lucifer's proposal was to eliminate agency and in exchange, guarantee the salvation of all, and claim the right to unseat God and take all the glory. Many agreed with his plan, and many did not. We went to war over which plan we would support. Ultimately, God's plan was adopted, this eternal plan is based upon eternal principles, which honor our agency. A plan of redemption was required when we fall short. Unfortunately, one-third of our brothers and sisters followed Lucifer; consequently, they did not obtain bodies, and were cast out of heaven and down upon this earth along with Lucifer (Revelation 12; Jude 1:6).The war that began in heaven is being played out upon the earth today. Lucifer still wants to usurp God's power and position and convince us we were wrong in accepting His plan. Lucifer and his followers are working hard to destroy our agency through those who do not support God's plan. These individuals are convinced that we are incapable of righteously exercising our inherent agency. They seek to control and dominate us.In this podcast, I discuss with returning guest, Shawn White, the painstaking preparations that we made concerning our lives, the destiny of the earth, and humankind--long before we ever came here to live.
