Re: The "one mighty and strong" poll
I couldn’t say that I agreed with any in the poll. My opinion is more along the lines that God will do his work and few will realize what specific things were until long after the events transpire.

Re: The "one mighty and strong" poll
My observation of the consistency of those the Lord has called to do great works. As meek as Moses was (Numbers 12:3), he was still not precisely obedient, though (Numbers 20:8-12). The Lord tends to call the weak things of the world to do His great things. Joseph Smith, for example, was a "nobody" and a weak thing of the world. And yet, he drew the attention of everyone around him to love him and hate him.dafty wrote: ↑December 17th, 2017, 1:40 pmNo disrespect, I do know everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion, but how did you come to your various conclusions? ie.: meek and lowly, nobody(ok, Isaiah49:2 I guess), no freelance etc...thanksmarc wrote: ↑December 17th, 2017, 1:30 pm #7 I believe he will be called by God's own voice and given power, by faith, to break mountains, to divide the seas, to dry up waters, to turn them out of their course; to put at defiance the armies of nations, to divide the earth, to break every band, to stand in the presence of God; to do all things according to His will, according to His command, subdue principalities and powers; and this by the will of the Son of God which was from before the foundation of the world.

You're welcome. I believe Enoch was a mighty and strong one, too. I would parallel this OMAS to Enoch who ushered in Zion before the world was baptized with water.

Re: The "one mighty and strong" poll
Absolutely. If you read my articles you'll see that I believe Enoch and the DS are closely related in terms of missions and Enoch presiding over the Seraphim...the Davidic Servant himself being their general.

Re: The "one mighty and strong" poll
Thanks Marc. Keep in mind the articles are additive. I recommend reading the levels of mankind articles first then the Davidic Servant / Enoch articles. Still much to write about the book of Enoch but I guessed /felt Enoch would have much to say about the Davidic Servant if I was correct on the Levels and Enoch being over that order and indeed he does. Theres even a section that mirrors the seraphim of Isaiah 6 and Enochs heart longs to be with them and the Lord gives Enoch dominion over them.marc wrote: ↑December 17th, 2017, 3:34 pmI'll check them out.

Chapters 39 through 70ish in the Ethiopian book of enoch reinforce Isaiah prophecies in particular. He even expounds the hidden aspects of the servant and reveals the names of all the archangels and specifically withholds the Elect Ones name. He then refers to him as the concealed one as dafty mentions elsewhere.

Also being clothed with light sounds like a resurrected being, prolly an archangel, who will work alongside, but may already possess the keys.Wikipedia wrote:In a letter to Brigham Young, dated May 6, 1867, Phelps mentioned that he believed that Smith's prophecy refers to Adam and his future arrival at Adam-ondi-Ahman.

Re: The "one mighty and strong" poll
Good to know, thanks! I have The Book of Enoch from the Ethiopic (Laurence, 1821). Well, mine's an 1882 reprint. I'll have to dust it off and read that, too.alaris wrote: ↑December 17th, 2017, 4:27 pm Thanks Marc. Keep in mind the articles are additive.

Re: The "one mighty and strong" poll
President Joseph F Smith said, "The Church of Christ is completely organized, and when the man who shall be called upon to divide unto the Saints their inheritances comes, he will be designated by the inspiration of the Lord to the proper authorities of the Church, appointed and sustained according to the order provided for the government of the Church." (Improvement Era 10:929-930, October 1907.)

Re: The "one mighty and strong" poll
Agreed, Denver has basically claimed to be the "one mighty and strong", D&C 85:7, as well as the "marred" servant from 3 Nephi 21:10, and he's claimed the Lord renamed him "David" so he's the self-proclaimed "Davidic Servant" from Isaiah as well.
Totally Ridiculous.

Re: The "one mighty and strong" poll
Interesting. Can either of you provide sources where Denver claims to be the one mighty and strong or the marred servant? I'm familiar with his claim that the Lord gave him the name, David, but nothing more.Jesef wrote: ↑December 17th, 2017, 5:55 pmAgreed, Denver has basically claimed to be the "one mighty and strong", D&C 85:7, as well as the "marred" servant from 3 Nephi 21:10, and he's claimed the Lord renamed him "David" so he's the self-proclaimed "Davidic Servant" from Isaiah as well.

Why did Denver say a name supposedly Christ gave him?
Denver's followers have proclaimed him to be the Davidic servant, like underdog.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but that was sloppy. You and Jesef made unsupported claims that contributed nothing to the topic.

I wish you'd made the options so that we could vote for at least three. I see three on the list that I see as solid possibilities.

Re: The "one mighty and strong" poll
Anyone read Dynasty of the Holy Grail? I like the distinction the author points out between the ecclesiastical church and the royal bloodline church. Joseph Smith was the instrument in which the ecclesiastical church was established again in the latter days, to first go to the gentiles in the power of adoptive and delegated priesthood. The raising up of the last dragon will mark the restoration of the holy and royal bloodline, to go to the jews and literal israel, in the power of natural and ancestral priesthood.
