Robert Sinclair wrote:It is as if although Ephraim may have gone astray, if you stray from Ephraim, where will you go?, if to the house of Judah saying "we shall go with you for we have heard that God is with you" you may be okay. But if you fall into a ditch by yourself, and are lost, far better to have kept with the house of Ephraim, sounding the alarm, as the Lord has said, hopefully obtaining the ear of these old men of the house, and priests and administers of the law. For after his affliction, of realizing that he has gone astray himself, it is written, that Ephraim shall say what have I to do anymore with idols, I have heard him and observed him; and from me the fruits that are equal and delightful unto the Lord shall be found:)♡
Robert Sinclair wrote:Ephraim shall go a whoring away from the law of God, you in your heart and actions can keep his celestial laws, it must needs be that Ephraim does what is written otherwise the Scriptures are not true. But wait with patient hope, and follow the commandments of Jesus Christ as Ephraim keeps telling you to do, notwithstanding they themselves may not keep these things, for it is written in time he shall:)♡

The LDS cult is not the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, regardless of their legal claims.

To be the church of Christ, you would have to teach His doctrine. That alone disqualifies them.

Yes, as is written in THE BOOK OF ENOCH----

"Let every evil work be desyroyed; The plant of righteousness and of rectitude appear, and its produce become a blessing."

Yes,

"Righteousness and rectitude shall be for ever planted with delight. And then shall all the saints give thanks, and live till they have begotten a thousand children, while the whole period of their youth, and there sabbaths shall be completed in peace."

Yes, as is written in 2 Nephi 3:12 the writings of the fruit of Joseph and Judah "grow together, unto the confounding of false doctrines and laying down of contentions, and establishing peace".

Yes as written in Ezekiel 37:15-23 joined togethet into "one stick" or book, where---

"Neither shall they defile themselves anymore with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions".

Yes, as written in Jacob 5:70-75 " they did keep the root and the top equal" yes, "like unto one body; and the fruits were equal" yes, "most precious unto him from the beginning" yes, "no more corrupt".

Wonderful.

Robert Sinclair wrote:All Ephraim need do is acknowledge their offence against God as they know they have erred.

That the Doctrine of all things common among them has been gone away from.

That inheritances were required of God of the children of Israel through Joshua and Joseph Smith that they be equal in their temporal things and this not grudgingly for food and for raiment for houses and for lands from the storehouse treasury of the Lord of Tithes and Offerings without any grudgingly behavior.

That by doing this they would bring his bride out of the closet clothed with equity and justice and righteousness and goodness and purity of heart of all things being equal among them, as has been written and testified of Peter and his fellow apostles in the book of Acts and of the people of the Book of Mormon in 4th Nephi.

And last but not the least given to Joseph Smith to give to us that any who would like to belong to the church of the living God must be equal in their temporal things and this not grudgingly for food and for raiment for houses and for lands by seeing all the poor Saints had sufficient of covenants and deeds that cannot be broken placed into their hands for an inheritance for a stewardship to see if they could return with the same in time or double or tenfold or even an hundred fold or more that the windows of heaven would open up and pour out such great blessings that there will not even be room enough to receive it all.

And the promised Bridegroom may come forth and bless and baptize with cloven tongues of fire saying "Here I am".

Wonderful is it not? ♡ :)

Yes it is true Ephraim need not deceive anymore. ♡ :)

Is it not written that such it must needs be?

That's not someone else, that's you Ephraim. All of Ephraim are bound by an oath and a covenant to be strong leaders by being men and women who are " willing to keep his commandments at all costs even their lives if need be given willingly as a sacrifice of harmless and loving kindness shown in return to those who would cause them to suffer death in the most aggravating and distressing manner that could be inflicted upon them for teaching and living the words of Jesus Christ. "

You want The House of Ephraim to be set in order? Then take up your cross and carry it!

Robert Sinclair wrote:Yes is it not written-

"Now this Melchizedek was a king over the land of Salem; and his people had waxed strong in iniquity and abomination; yea, they had all gone astray; they were full of all manner of wickedness;

But Melchizedek having exercised mighty faith, and received the office of the high priesthood according to the Holy order of God, did preach repentance unto the people.
And behold they did repent."

If the Twelve and Seventy Shepherds could all become like unto Melchizedek they could establish peace in the land even as Melchizedek did as it is written. ♡ :)

All they need do is acknowledge their offence against God and return and exercise mighty prayer and fasting and faith with truly broken hearts and contrite spirits as is written in the book of Joel.

"Call the solemn assembly and sanctify the congregation.

Let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet." ♡ :)

So it has been written, and so it should be done. ♡ :)
The root and the branches are corrupt. Those called to be leaders have greater responsibility and accountability for the House of Ephraim because their flock follows them obediently, yet, those who have become awake and now know, are not exempt as they never were and were only slumbering in ignorance.

"Equity". = types and shadows of----

All things common among them, eye to eye, equal in their temporal things and this not grudgingly, as one, justice, fairness, fair play, impartiality, impartialness, fair-mindedness, evenness, even-handedness, equitableness; unprejudicedness, objectivity, tolerance, rightfulness, lawfulness, justness, constitutionality, justifiability, defensibility, warrentableness, supportability, supportableness, reasonableness, reasonability, judiciousness, sensibleness, uprightness, righteousness, honorableness, upstandingness, nobility, nobleness, honor, integrity, virtuousness, virtue, rectitude, ethicalness, ethicality, propriety, morality, rightness, conscionableness; right-mindedness, uncorruptedness, goodness, sincerity, honesty, truthfullness, straightforwardness.

Good for this LDS House of Ephraim, to awaken, acknowledge and atone, for going away from a fullness of these things, in following the example and instructions given of Jesus Christ.

"Ephraim shall say" "I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found."

Finrock wrote: May 28th, 2019, 9:02 am Regarding Ephraim:
President Joseph Fielding Smith wrote:The great majority of those who become members of the Church are literal descendants of Abraham through Ephraim, son of Joseph. (Improvement Era, Oct. 1923, p. 1149.)
Another Regarding Ephraim:
President Joseph Fielding Smith wrote:“Every person who embraces the gospel becomes of the house of Israel. In other words, they become members of the chosen lineage, or Abraham’s children through Isaac and Jacob unto whom the promises were made. The great majority of those who become members of the Church are literal descendants of Abraham through Ephraim, son of Joseph. Those who are not literal descendants of Abraham and Israel must become such, and when they are baptized and confirmed they are grafted into the tree and are entitled to all the rights and privileges as heirs.” (Doctrines of Salvation, 3 vols., Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1954–56, 3:246.)
Another Regarding Ephraim:
President Brigham Young wrote:“The set time is come for God to gather Israel, and for His work to commence upon the face of the whole earth, and the Elders who have arisen in this Church and Kingdom are actually of Israel.

“Take the Elders who are now in this house, and you can scarcely find one out of a hundred [who is not] of the house of Israel. …

“Will we go to the Gentile nations to preach the Gospel? Yes, and gather out the Israelites, wherever they are mixed among the nations of the earth. … Ephraim has become mixed with all the nations of the earth, and it is Ephraim that is gathering together. …

“If there are any of the other tribes of Israel mixed with the Gentiles we are also searching for them. … We want the blood of Jacob, and that of his father Isaac and Abraham, which runs in the veins of the people. …

“It is the house of Israel we are after, and we care not whether they come from the east, the west, the north, or the south; from China, Russia, England, California, North or South America, or some other locality. … The Book of Mormon came to Ephraim, for Joseph Smith was a pure Ephraimite, and the Book of Mormon was revealed to him.” (Journal of Discourses 2:268–69.)
What special responsibilities are held by Ephraimites in this dispensation?

"President Joseph Fielding Smith and others have made it abundantly clear that the descendants of Ephraim hold the presiding keys to carry forth the work of the Restoration and of the gathering of Israel in the last days. His statement is as follows:"
President Joseph Fielding Smith wrote:The members of the Church, most of us of the tribe of Ephraim, are of the remnant of Jacob. We know it to be the fact that the Lord called upon the descendants of Ephraim to commence his work in the earth in these last days. We know further that he has said that he set Ephraim, according to the promises of his birthright, at the head. Ephraim receives the ‘richer blessings,’ these blessings being those of presidency or direction. The keys are with Ephraim. It is Ephraim who is to be endowed with power to bless and give to the other tribes, including the Lamanites, their blessings. All the other tribes of Jacob, including the Lamanites, are to be crowned with glory in Zion by the hands of Ephraim. …

“That the remnants of Joseph, found among the descendants of Lehi, will have part in this great work is certainly consistent, and the great work of this restoration, the building of the temple and the City of Zion, or New Jerusalem, will fall to the lot of the descendants of Joseph, but it is Ephraim who will stand at the head and direct the work.” (Doctrines of Salvation, 2:250–51; italics in original removed.)

From what the prophets have said, then, most members of the Church come from Gentile nations, but they have some Israelite ancestors in their lineage. Therefore, they are not “assigned to” or “adopted into” the house of Israel. They are legal heirs of the covenant, and the lineage proclaimed in their patriarchal blessings identifies the blood line that ties them back to Abraham.
Source: https://www.lds.org/ensign/1991/01/of-t ... g=eng&_r=1

The House of Ephraim, or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, has been given the keys in the last dispensation to bring forth Zion. Ephraim, or the Church, has the keys of the "presidency or direction". The Church is suppose to lead the way in establishing the United Order or in other words, Zion. This is the House of Ephraim and the Heads of the House of Ephraim are the Apostles. We have a very specific priesthood duty and responsibility associated with our lineage: we are to stand at the head and direct the work of establishing the City of Zion or New Jerusalem.

How have we done in directing or establishing the City of Zion or New Jerusalem? Are we still focused on it? Do we live the United Order as commanded in the scriptures? Do we live the Law of Consecration fully as we have covenanted to do? Has Ephraim, or the Church, been fully focused and attended to establishing the City of Zion?

Why not send them there?

Why after being cast out, sent to "The Great Salt Lake Desert"?

Temple building is fine, and needed, as a type and a shadow as well, but after, and not before, the saints of God, are equal in their temporal things and this not grudgingly, worthy to enter therein, with the "residue" as it it is wtitten, as well as for public benefit projects, of the church, see D&C 42:30-55.

There are many prophets of the Old Testament that testify of these things, to trust not first in temples, and turn them into idols to adore above and before, the poor, things made from the hands of men, but to amend their ways and your doings first. You may read for example Jeremiah chapter 7, and see this is true.

"Trust ye not in lying words, saying the temple of the LORD"

But---

"Throughly amend your ways and your doings"

And of what happened before to the whole house of Ephraim, for these things, of their town of Shiloh, which was plowed as a field, and thus remains to this very day.

Good to look upon, and study the scriptures, and understand all these things written, that have happened to Ephraim, and forewarned to happen again, should they not awaken from their pride, and inequality.

May they awaken, open their eyes, and their hearts, and acknowledge these things, and atone. And receive the blessings withheld for them until they do.

Who can deny these things before the throne of God?

Robert Sinclair wrote: That as Joseph Smith says the church will become corrupted by wealth, and be as written in Jacob 5:47-48---

"Who is it that has corrupted my vineyard?"

"the servant said unto his master: Is it not the loftiness of the vineyard?"

Yes, as written in Joel 1:11 "the harvest of the field is perished"

The "United Oder" rejected, of being equal in our temporal things first, for home and land, food and raiment, with covenants and deeds that will not be broken, then with the "residue" go and build your houses of worship, and public benefit projects, is a breach that needs repair, and a path restored, to follow.

Yes, all these things are foretold and written.

That is why we are to, as written in Isaiah 58:1---

"Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins."

Yes, as written in Joel 1:11----

"Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished."

Yes, that is why it is written in the Book of Jeremiah 7:4---

"Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD"

But to throughly amend our ways and doings first!

For if you build your temples above and before, being equal in your temporal things, and this not grudgingly, then they become altars to sin, as written in Hosea 8:11----

"Because Ephraim hath built many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin."

Yes, as written in Hosea 8:14----

"For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples"

Yes, as Moroni has written to us----

"Why have ye polluted the holy church of God?
(See Mormon 8:38)

All these witnesses given, are for our learning and understanding, and wisdom, that having "all things common among us", teaching and living a "united order", is that which at this time, we ought to cry out for, sparing not, as with a trumpet.

Until the old men, and others, give ear and hear, as written in Joel 1:2----

"Hear this, ye old men, and give ear all ye inhabitants of the land, Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?"

And that we all "Atone" for such things.

The "Day of Atonement" for this year, starts Tuesday October 11, 2016, at sundown, and goes to sundown October 12, 2016. That is in just a few days, to have us remember and reflect, and afflict our souls, especially upon this day, with fasting and prayer, and commit to amend our ways and doings before the LORD, with a truly broken heart, and contrite spirit.

May we all so do.

A sure sign of "Apostasy" is, after a people have been taught by Jesus Christ, as in the Book of Acts 2:44-45 & 3 Nephi 25:19 & 4th Nephi verse 3, to have "all things common" among them, of their own freewill, yes as commanded in D&C 70:10-16, to be equal in your temporal things, and this not grudgingly, the people do as was recorded in 4th Nephi verse 25----

"And from that time forth they did have their goods and substance no more common among them."

Yes, rejecting the true points of his doctrine taught, in "The Feast of Tabernacles" "All Things Common Among You" "Of One Heart And One Mind" living in a "United Order" as instructed by the LORD Jesus Christ. The salt of the earth, the wheat from the tares, fruit equal and as one, most precious unto the LORD Jesus Christ, from the beginning, as it was with Enoch, where----

"And the LORD called his people Zion, because they were of one heart and one mind, and dwelt in righteousness; and there was no poor among them." (See Moses 7:18)

Good to know about, and to understand all of these things. And good to hearken unto and follow the instructions given of the LORD Jesus Christ, to be equal in your temporal things, and this not grudgingly, for land and home, food and raiment, all amply supplied, before with the "residue" building your houses of worship, and public work projects, for he has promised, there is more than enough and to spare, to accomplish his will, to those who have faith and trust in him.

"The Book of Enoch the Prophet 1883 London printing", help from this ancient grandfather of yours.♡

Postby Robert Sinclair » Tue Oct 28, 2014 2:07 pm
This is one of my most prized possessions.

I bought my first copy more than 25 years ago from across the street from the Los Angeles temple at an LDS bookstore.

When coming out of the store with a copy of gold embossed Ethiopic text on its hard bound cover a black man approached me and asked what is this book in your hands.

When I told him it was a book found in Ethiopia by a Scottish Explorer James Bruce in 1773 and printed in English in 1883 and that Enoch was a great grandfather of us all he said that he was from Ethiopia and that this was his language on the cover of the book.

I asked him to please read to me what it said and he related the story of a man plowing with his oxen and came across some starving people and having pity upon them slew his oxen and fed the starving people.

I marveled that the coincidence of coming out of the book store as he was walking down the street.

I never came across this story while reading this book.

I have gone to the Bodleian Library site on the Internet:

Scroll down this page till you see "Hebraica" tap on that, then look for "Ethiopic".

I found that just a few years after Joseph Smith testified on March 28, 1835 in section 107 verse 57 that the book of Enoch is to be testified of in due time just a few years later in 1843 the Bodleian Library purchased James Bruce collection of 25 Ethiopic manuscripts of which one was the rare text of Enoch.
And that years after that Richard Laurence had translated into English for printing in 1883 out of London.

This very morning while shopping for some breakfast items for the family in Safeway Market in the frozen food aisle I was talking about the book to a female clerk working in the frozen food section.

She was wondering why she was where she was in life and about her purpose in life.

All of the sudden she lit up like a Christmas tree when I mentioned the Bodleian Library and said to me she had been there inside the Bodleian Library.

And when I mentioned about how I believe that their was still much to be translated left in that library of the 25 Ethiopic manuscripts and of the story of the man had read to me off the cover she said possibly it was fate itself that I talked to her. She had desires to return to that part of Europe and with that information about possible untranslated Ethiopic text she felt a desire to seek that out and if not translated into English some of it, to see that it got translated.

I was blown away. I told her she better give me a business card or some other way to keep in touch as I was definitely interested in finding out.

How strange I thought of both meetings in my life and of the billions of people who are on this earth that I would have come across these two individuals interested in the book of Enoch the Prophet.

I testify again that I have read what Enoch one of all of us greatest grandfather's to have walked this earth and to have written specifically for us to see his words in the "latter days" as he has written. That I believe that the councel given of Enoch for us is of greater worth than all the gold and silver in the world. ♡ :)
---------------
Please obtain a copy of this 1883 edition by Richard Laurence if at all possible and read it through at least 10 times underlining and highlighting the special councel this ancient grandfather has given to you of how to know righteousness and goodness and integrity and what is not.

You will be glad you did.
--------------------------------
I forgot to mention on a book marker I had purchased also at the LDS bookstore was the fate of the original Twelve Apostles.

MATTHEW - was slain by the sword in the city of Ethiopia at about 60 AD. He had been to Ethiopia also.

Again as a reminder:

Doctrine and Covenants section 107 verse 57:

"These things were all written in the book of Enoch, and are to be testified of in due time."

I testify that the words written in the book of Enoch are of great worth beyond that of silver and gold.

Another piece of advice and knowledge-

"Then I saw, that the man, who wrote the book at the word of the Lord, opened the book of destruction, of that destruction which the last twelve shepherds wrought; and pointed out before the Lord of the sheep, that they destroyed more than those who preceded them.

And he spoke to the man who wrote in his presence, who was one of the seven white ones, saying, Take those seventy shepherds, to whom I delivered up the sheep, who receiving them killed more of them than I commanded. Behold, I saw them all bound, and standing before him. First came the trial of the stars, which, being judged, and found guilty, went to the place of punishment. They thrust them into a place, deep, and full of flaming fire, and full of pillars of fire. Then the seventy shepherds were judged, and being found guilty, were thrust into the flaming abyss. At that time likewise I perceived, that one abyss was thus opened in the midst of the earth, which was full of fire.
And to this were brought the blind sheep; which being judged, and found guilty, were all thrust into that abyss of fire on the earth, and burnt."

Who but The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has twelve and seventy shepherds leading them upon this whole earth?

It would be good to awaken from this nightmare about to fall upon all that are blind by not being equal in their temporal things and this not grudgingly.

Search the prophets that have written down every single thing that Jesus Christ has said to do, and every single way that Jesus Christ has said to be like, and all the things Jesus Christ has said to know from all the Scriptures written that you can find.

May God bless you and keep you safe as you keep his commandments which he has given you. ♡ :)

Be not blind nor have the power of ignorance overcome you. Come to know all of his words which he has given us. ♡ :)

Return, atone, and learn not to burn.
