LDS Freedom Forum

Firstly, I'd like to thank Brian again for hosting a forum in which I am able to post such articles that contain what very well may be new information. It can't be easy maintaining a forum where such is possible - it sort of reminds me of the atmosphere provided by the United States of America that a new religion could appear and thrive despite turbulent opposition. Likewise, maintaining this forum seems to be a relatively thankless job with more voices of anger and opposition than those of gratitude. So, here's a big shout out to Brian M. - thank you sir!

I have felt prompted, strongly, to write this next article. I haven't written about the Seven Levels of Mankind in some time, but I have been urged by the Lord to write this article tying the days of creation to the seven levels of mankind, to the seven patriarchs, to the seven rewards of overcoming, and to the seven sequential laws of God.

Part I https://lordoftheseraphim.blogspot.com/ ... art-i.html
Part II https://lordoftheseraphim.blogspot.com/ ... rt-ii.html
Part III https://lordoftheseraphim.blogspot.com/ ... t-iii.html
Part IV https://lordoftheseraphim.blogspot.com/ ... rt-iv.html
Pariv V https://lordoftheseraphim.blogspot.com/ ... art-v.html

I had planned on writing about all seven days in one article, but as is normally the case, I learn so much as I write. The parallels from the days of creation to the seven dispensations are so strong that I am surprised I have never heard or seen this before. Here's a quick preview with just the dispensation heads and the days. The laws of the gospel and rewards of overcoming further solidify this model beyond any doubt.

Day 1 - Light / Dark - Joseph Smith restoration of light after a long dark night of apostasy
Day 2 - Water / Atmosphere - Fisherman / fisher of men Peter walked on water
Day 3 - Water divided from Dry Land - Um, Moses, um did that same thing
Day 4 - Sun, Moon, Stars - Abraham's posterity is as the ... stars (Genesis 15)
Day 5 - Animals. Um, Noah
Day 6 - Man appears & dominion given. Enoch translated as full measure of man, and kingdom
Day 7 - Adam walks with God. Adam walks with God... again

Faith - Creation Day 1 / Dispensation 7 (Joseph Smith)
Repentance - Creation Day 2 / Dispensation 6 (Peter)
Obedience - Creation Day 3 / Dispensation 5 (Moses)
Sacrifice - Creation Day 4 / Dispensation 4 (Abraham)
Gospel - Creation Day 5 / Dispensation 3 (Noah)
Chastity - Creation Day 6 / Dispensation 2 (Enoch)
Consecration - Creation Day 7 / Dispensation 1 (Adam)

I know many folks here simply ignore me, yet I take comfort in the fact that Isaiah 28 gives the general state of Ephraim in receiving meat in the end times. This model - these seven levels of spiritual progression - shows us who we are and where we are on our eternal journey. Knowing who you are, where you came from, and what the promised rewards are is knowledge that is being restored right now and few can see this for what it is and it is prophesied so. The Davidic Servant comes and restores Israel to a knowledge of their God, a knowledge of who they are, and a knowledge of the covenants they have made to their God.

The final three levels of mankind - the levels of dominion - are again juxtaposed over the last days. Level 5 has been juxtaposed over the end of the time of the gentiles. The time of the gentiles has been largely in darkness, just as the first day of creation. And just as in the first day of creation, a great light has shone forth in the restoration of the gospel through dispensation prince Joseph Smith Jr. Ephraim / level 5 has been sent into the world these past nearly 200 years to preach to the gentiles first. Ephraim is aligned to the dispensation of Noah who preached for 120 years. Ephraim is aligned to the law of the Gospel and to the second token in sign given in the temple where our endowment has been tailored to ... Ephraim.

The robes of the Priesthood switch shoulders in the temple just before entering the Terrestrial world. We no longer put on the robes of Aaron - this change symbolized the fact that the time and season of the fifth level beings - a.k.a the Latter-day Saints - who aligns to the law of the Gospel (to the gentiles) is coming to an end. I believe the time and season of level six beings - the high priests / seraphim / apostles / 144,000 who are prophesied to come and provide the final witness to the world - their time and season is ramping up. This is the time and season of seeing, hearing, and understanding the mysteries (Isaiah 6 & Matthew 13.) This is the time and season of the birth of the Kingdom of God and gathering of Israel. This is the time and season of the gospel being preached to all the world as a final witness. This is the time and season of women as priestesses. The dispensation of Enoch aligns to this time and season as does the sixth day - the creation of man. In this time and season will the full measure of man stand up and receive his dominion over Israel and the righteous will again be gathered, ZION will again be built, and the two New Jerusalems will join as one. Then, as the time and season of the level six beings draws to a close, level 7 will be the time where God once again walks on the Earth and all will be as at first in this grand chiasmus.

I believe the harmony between the creation and the seven levels of mankind are intentional to teach line upon line only when we are ready to receive. This is the teaching pattern of the Master. Alaris, there are some real gems in your article.

Dispensation 5, Creation Day 3, Mankind Level 3 (first order of Israel), Obedience, Knowledge, Moses
Gate to Join Israel - Jesus Christ - Baptism
Dispensation 6, Creation Day 2, Mankind Level 2 (gentiles), Repentance, Salvation from Spiritual Death, Peter

Baptism and Christ as the bridge or gate to joining Israel. There is something instructive about this order of events. People say they love God and Christ, but refuse to take part in His ordained baptism by proper authority. If our goal is Eternal Life, then this refusal renders any other obedience null and void. Nothing else will help us become like God if we haven’t gone through the proper gate.

The connections here to manna and knowledge are spot on. They gathered according to the amount each man could eat. They couldn't get more or it would go bad. God knew the capacity of each person in the camp and provided exactly that amount. Similarly He doesn't provide knowledge for us beyond that which we can handle. It is concealed until we are prepared.

Exodus 16:16 This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents.
17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
18 And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.

In regards to the seeds on the third day…

11 And I, God, said: Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, the fruit tree yielding fruit, after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed should be in itself

This is interesting because clearly in Moses, this is the third day. But I'm pretty sure the seed going forth and being planted happens on the fourth day in the temple. It seems to me this aligns better with the fourth day because of Abraham and the constant references to "seed" in the Abrahamic Covenant.

But in connecting Moses and level 3 with the third day, all of this is spot on. In fact, what could be more clear than

Moses 2:9 And I, God, said: Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and it was so; and I, God, said: Let there be dry land; and it was so.

…Moses parting the Red Sea, as you pointed out?

Looking forward to part II…

I love the meat you're serving, Alaris!

I will have some things to say on the rest of your post later, but first I would also like to thank Brian, I mean, B. for hosting this site. I used to be a pretty regular visitor and poster on AVOW but most things that interest me nowadays are immediately closed over there. They have drank a bit too much of the leader worship kool-aid and I find myself spending more time here.

I don't get on forums as much as I used to, but this is my go-to. Many people wish this or that or other post would be shut down or censored but B., in the spirit of freedom, has let things be and interest is allowed to flow where it will. Those who want to can read and those who don't are free to ignore.

Love it.

Thanks for the thoughtful post and for keeping this thread alive. I obviously believe what I've written is worth sharing, but I try to avoid bumping my own threads that receive no responses, lol!

That's a great point about the seed and plants. I have written about how this alignment of the creation days to the dispensations, patriarchs, laws, and rewards provide beautiful segues into the next reward. I think that is the case here with the third day and the seeds. Especially if you consider the Israelites were just handed manna being a symbol of their lack of planting any seeds in the promised land as of yet.

Moreover, of course the Patriarchs demonstrated obedience to other laws in addition to those I have aligned them on my blog. However, if you just took an image / print of each day of creation and an image of each dispensation head and were asked to align them ... I mean how have I never hear of this before?? Noah - Animals. Moses - commanding the water to make dry land appear. Abraham - Sun, moon, stars etc.

Genesis 15:5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.

Abraham and astronomy is the other obvious connection to day 4. Another connection to day 4 is the language of the great light and the lesser. This is a reference to the two priesthoods and the two Gods - the greater and the lesser. The lesser YHWH, who is Yahoel / The Angel of the Lord is the being to which the office of High Priest of Israel points just as Jehovah, the greater YHWH is the being to which the office of High Priest of Melchizedek points. And, when did the lesser YHWH's reign being? That's right - with Abraham. (which is covered in this article.)

I'm giving away some more of part 2 here, but even my understanding of the level 5 beings - Ephraim - being those who preach the gospel to the gentiles is represented in Noah's dispensation when you consider the creation. Gentiles are level 2 / day 2 where the Earth is covered in water. Noah preaches the gospel before God's judgments come (sound familiar?) He then gathers the animals and the Earth is covered with water again as it was on day 2.

Even Day 3 / Day 6 may be connected as the time of the 144,000 align to level 6 / day 6 where the true measure of man walks the Earth again to gather the elect and preach the final witness. What happens during this time but the land is gathered again into one as it was on day 3 and the city of Enoch (which also aligns to level six) fills in that gaping hole in the gulf of Mexico.

D&C 133:23 He shall command the great deep, and it shall be driven back into the north countries, and the islands shall become one land;

24 And the land of Jerusalem and the land of Zion shall be turned back into their own place, and the earth shall be like as it was in the days before it was divided.

25 And the Lord, even the Savior, shall stand in the midst of his people, and shall reign over all flesh.

That final verse points to day 7 where the Lord again walks the Earth as the Earth comes to rest - again, and the Earth is now a paradise again (day 4.) Levels 5, 6, and 7 are the increasing levels of rule / dominion. I believe the recent temple endowment changes indicate the time of the gentiles (levels 5 and 2) is nearing an end, and the sifting seems to clearly be happening already. What a coincidence. Now imagine if women are given the priesthood which aligns to the priest / priestess role of level 6. How many folks would just walk away from the church at that point?

I may have to dedicate an article to this juxtaposing of levels and days as there is just so much content here to write about!

Ha, I know I told you I was taking a break from the forum...but this stuff is just too cool to ignore.

I think it is especially interesting that the last creation on Day 6 is woman. So if Day 6 represents Level 6, it makes perfect sense that this would be the time we would see the fullness of female power, aka priestesshood, revealed, albeit last.

Thanks for your ongoing writing and posting.

Alaris might be my main reason for sticking with this forum. What a great guy!

I wish he would get together with my uncle. I literally thought he was Alaris when I first joined, that’s how similar they are.

I think the endtime will in fact hold the full unveiling of our Mother. The Davidic Servant will become great in the eyes of the world due to his woman - the “daughter” who symbolises Kingship over Israel, at least in Kabbalah literature, similar to how it’s showed in the David story. Lucifer knew what he was doing in that Garden.

Men like women, and men like kingdoms. They’re really not that different in the end.

My articles are just way too long. I wouldn't read them if I wasn't so invested in the material. So, in the spirit of the age of the Internet, I have made Part II just about the fourth day and will cover the remaining days in subsequent articles. There was just so much to cover with day 4, and day 5 has a wealth of information to explore as well. It was either make this one article or risk another super lengthy article. So here it is! (I've edited the OP to include this url as well.)

https://lordoftheseraphim.blogspot.com/ ... rt-ii.html

For those of you who follow my writings on the Davidic Servant, I have made the case in earlier articles that the dominion of the Angel of the Lord starts with Abraham. I knew there was a strong connection to Abraham early in my studies regarding the servant, but I couldn't quite figure it out. All of the covenants with Israel fulfilled in the end times trace back to the covenant with Abraham. Not Noah. Not Enoch. Not Adam. Abraham.

If you've followed my 3 Enoch thread, what coincidence! Metatron, who is the Angel of the Lord, is crowned post-flood.

Now, for another coincidence, is the language of the fourth day of creation which aligns to the fourth dispensation of Abraham:

Moses 2:16 And I, God, made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night, and the greater light was the sun, and the lesser light was the moon; and the stars also were made even according to my word.

The lesser light - the moon - points to the God of the Lesser Priesthood or The Holy Ghost / The Angel of the Lord. Enjoy the article!

Still going through your article on sacrifice. I’m taking it slow because there’s so much here. It’s fantastic. Especially the part about the Levites (so far). That has been a missing link for me for years. Is having the Aaronic Priesthood and having the responsibility to kill the animals and offer the sacrifices enough to make it worth not having a physical inheritance? Well it is if taken in the context of the seven levels. Then it makes perfect sense.

This also connects the dots between the “power over the nations” and “ruling” in Rev. 2:26-27. Power refers to Priesthood power, or power to perform saving ordinances. The rod of iron seems to be the power to gather and lead (a la the Davidic Servant) and it has power to overcome all barriers, languages, kindreds, and affiliations (“And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers... (Rev 2:27)). Kind of sheds new light on the magnitude of power of the Levitical Priesthood.

As usual you see something I've missed. I hadn't connected the promise of power given to level 4 to the Lesser Priesthood which is a pretty gross oversight now that I type this out loud.

As is the pattern, the levites are tasting the power of the world to come in the lesser Priesthood but specifically have no inheritance .... Yet.

In the endowment, we used to cloth in the robes of Aaron first signifying our having received the promised reward. And now we are tasting of the power of the priest to which we are anointed to become in the Melchizedek Priesthood. Robes have switched shoulders and the time of the law of the gospel is coming to an end imho.

And as usual it's about a 10:1 ratio of things you've seen that I've missed One of the things you've really unlocked for me is the idea of "tasting" before inheriting. This was really opened for me in your Horus article and it's amazing how often we see this pop up. It's everywhere! Certainly here with the Levites, and then again with us in the Church up until the January 2019 changes, to which you just referred. As well as the greater and lesser lights. As well as the donkey and colt. The lesser always rides with the greater, learning the ways, being trained.

I was speaking a bit about this principle with my kids the other day because they were asking why having children is so important. I said imagine only going after selfish things for eternity. How would you feel? Every one of them said it would be fun for a while, but would get old real quick. Exactly. God loses Himself in the training of us. That's the only way to eternal fulfillment. Focusing on others. That's why He has so many children. And, along those lines, what else would the Savior be found doing but training up another to walk in his paths... literally?

Part III is up including links from the 5th and 2nd days of creation to Noah and to the time and season of the gospel to the gentiles.

https://lordoftheseraphim.blogspot.com/ ... t-iii.html

I also link the laws of God as given in the temple to help identify who we are and where we are on our eternal journey. The recent temple changes are addressed a bit as well. Enjoy!

This image is from the article linked in the post above:



This is a basic timeline I created based primarily off the dates in the lds.org dispensations timeline. I hope it illustrates how I see the first and the last unfolding in the end times. I believe there is a juxtaposition of the highest three levels of mankind over the lower where the time "the last shall be first and the first shall be last" applies to both.

Part IV is up here:

https://lordoftheseraphim.blogspot.com/ ... rt-iv.html

As always, writing these is a tremendous learning experience. These articles never quite end up as I initially envision, but this article ranks pretty high on my list of articles that deviates from expectations. There are way more symbols in the two chapters of Moses that cover Enoch that link to the Sixth day of creation & Sixth order of mankind than I realized.

I did a quick google to find this thread as it was sadly not on the first three pages of "Latest posts" - however, I found this article in the process which is super interesting:

https://drlwilson.com/Articles/7.CREATION.htm

The lowest of the seven levels of creation - and here "creation" means "the creation" or the full scope of the seven realms upon which mankind exists - is incredible. From the article:

1. Shekna. This means very mixed up in ancient Hebrew. This is the lowest level of creation and is our level. The Kabala uses the word shekinah for this level.

The sh sound in ancient Hebrew means a reversal. It is used in many English words such as shake, shock, shirk, shriek, and shout. The modern Hebrew word Shabbat means a reversal day.

The Yiddush language also has some words that sound similar to shekna. They include shiker, which means drunk or a drunkard, and shiksa, which is a derogatory word about some young women, particularly a Hebrew woman who doesn’t have a lot of love or does not follow the rules for eating or who is loose sexually. It can also refer to a non-Jewish woman.

Mixed up. Reversal? Upside-down? Hrm .. I've written two articles on the fact that this world is upside down and perhaps backwards as well:

https://lordoftheseraphim.blogspot.com/ ... -down.html
[ur=The Levels of Mankind And The Rainbowl]https://lordoftheseraphim.blogspot.com/ ... inbow.html[/url]

The Rainbow certainly symbolizes the reversal nature where the greatest rulers in heaven are the least in this world and the worst scum of this world are the greatest rulers.

I love that shabbat means reversal day. This day is holy unlike all those other days.

Anyway, I should probably make a comment about the article I just posted, which is the first link in this post (and added to the OP) - I believe the last ~ 200 years or so has been the time of the Gospel to the Gentiles which links to Noah and the Fifth day of Creation (Animals - then covered by water = Creation Day 2 = Gentiles.) I believe we are now transitioning into the time that aligns to the sixth day of creation when man was immortal upon this earth. Immortal / translated beings will begin to ramp up their work, imho, and during this time the Gathering of Israel, the final witness to the world, and the Davidic Servant will all be manifest. The building of ZION will take place again. How does this align to the creation of man? Well righteousness is the full measure and stature of man - upon reaching this stature, a man who has reached the full measure of his creation becomes a God.

The Law of Chastity is the law that aligns to the sixth day. How so? Man is given the command "Multiply and Replenish the Earth" on the sixth day. The sixth dispensation (counting up from Joseph Smith) is the dispensation of Enoch where ZION was uncoincidentally built and the city was only successful when its saints were of one heart and one mind. Mind is the key to understand how the higher Law of Chastity aligns to this dispensation - the mind must be made a holy space before the name of the Father and the new name of the Son can co-occupy that space.

Revelation 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

In fact, I believe the entire message to the sixth angel of the sixth church which aligns to the sixth day of creation and the sixth dispensation (counting inversley) helps cement this all together:

Revelation 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
11 Behold, I come quickly; hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

Isaiah 22:21 And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
23 And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father’s house.
24 And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons.

We LDS align to the second sign and token, which aligns to the fifth day of creation and Law of the Gospel. The Davidic Servant is traversing from day 6 to day 7 - he is receiving that promise of overcoming in verse 12. The man child in Revelation 12 ascends to God's throne - which is the fulfillment of Yom Kippur imho. So, the Davidic servant aligned to the third token, and now he will be aligning to the fourth - that process is what this is all about. Fastening the Davidic Sevant as one of the Patriarchs (think about that last word and how it plugs in to the signs and tokens)

Part V is up

https://lordoftheseraphim.blogspot.com/ ... art-v.html

This has been a tremendous experience and another wonderful witness of how the symbolism of eternal progression is built into the creation and the very days of creation.

Part V reviews the seventh day of creation and the symbols that align Adam to the seventh day of creation (which is rather obvious) as well as to the seventh promise of overcoming and to the Law of Consecration. Enjoy!
