[AI2.0]

This is what they will be voting on and making a covenant:

I, the Lord say to you: You have asked of me concerning the scriptures prepared on behalf
of all those who seek to become my covenant people, and therefore I answer you on behalf
of all the people, and not as to any individual. For there are those who are humble, patient
and easily persuaded. Nevertheless people who are quarrelsome and proud are also among
you, and since you seek to unite to become one people I answer you as one.
I covenanted with Adam at the beginning, which covenant was broken by mankind. Since
the days of Adam I have always sought to reestablish people of covenant among the living,
and therefore have desired that man should love one another, not begrudgingly, but as
brothers and sisters indeed, that I may establish my covenant and provide them with light
and truth.

For you to unite I must admonish and instruct you, for my will is to have you love one
another. As people you lack the ability to respectfully disagree among one another. You are
as Paul and Peter whose disagreements resulted in jarring and sharp contentions.
Nevertheless they both loved me and I loved them. You must do better.
I commend your diligent labor, and your desire to repent and recover the scriptures
containing the covenant I offer for the last days. For this purpose I caused the Book of
Mormon to come forth. I commend those who have participated, as well as those who have
offered words of caution, for I weigh the hearts of men and many have intended well,
although they have spoken poorly. Wisdom counsels mankind to align their words with their
hearts, but mankind refuses to take counsel from Wisdom.
Nevertheless, there have been sharp disputes between you that should have been avoided. I
speak these words to reprove you that you may learn, not to upbraid you so that you mourn.
I want my people to have understanding.

There is great reason to rejoice because of the work that has been done. There is little reason
for any to be angry or to harshly criticize the labor to recover the scriptures, and so my
answer to you concerning the scriptures is to guide you in other work to be done hereafter;
for recovering the scriptures does not conclude the work to be accomplished by those who
will be my people: it is but a beginning.
In your language you use the name Lucifer for an angel who was in authority before God,
who rebelled, fought against the work of the Father and was cast down to the earth. His
name means holder of light, or light bearer, for he had gathered light by his heed and diligence
before he rebelled. He has become a vessel containing only wrath and seeks to destroy all
who will hearken to him. He is now enslaved to his own hatred.
Satan is a title, and means accuser, opponent and adversary; hence once he fell, Lucifer became,
or in other words was called, Satan, because he accuses others and opposes the Father. I
rebuked Peter and called him Satan because he was wrong in opposing the Father’s will for
me, and Peter understood and repented.
In the work you have performed there are those who have been Satan, accusing one another,
wounding hearts and causing jarring, contention, and strife by their accusations. Rather than
2
loving one another, even among you who desire a good thing, some have dealt unkindly as if
they were the opponents, accusers and adversaries. In this they were wrong.
You have sought to recover the scriptures because you hope to obtain the covenant for my
protective hand to be over you, but you cannot be Satan and be mine. If you take upon you
my covenant, you must abide it as a people to gain what I promise. You think Satan will be
bound a thousand years, and it will be so, but do not understand your own duty to bind that
spirit within you so that you give no heed to accuse others. It is not enough to say you love
God; you must also love your fellow man. Nor is it enough to say you love your fellow man
while you, as Satan, divide, contend and dispute against any person who labors on an errand
seeking to do my will. How you proceed must be as noble as the cause you seek. You have
become your own adversaries, and you cannot be Satan and also be mine. Repent, therefore,
like Peter and end your unkind and untrue accusations against one another, and make peace.
How shall there ever come a thousand years of peace if the people who are mine do not love
one another? How shall Satan be bound if there are no people of one heart and one mind?

Therefore, in answer to your petition:
The records you have gathered as scriptures yet lack many of my words, have errors
throughout, and contain things that are not of me, because the records you used in your
labors have not been maintained nor guarded against the cunning plans of false brethren
who have been deceived by Satan.
The records of The Old Covenants given from Adam until Moses and from Moses to my
forerunner John were written in holiness and contained light and truth, but the records you
have received have not transmitted that which was first written in holiness, nor are they as
many as the records on the plates of brass; and the plates of brass also do not contain all my
words. Nevertheless the records in the form you have of The Old Covenants given from
Adam until Moses and from Moses to John are of great worth and can serve my purposes,
and are acceptable for this time.
The records of my apostles containing my New Covenants were to contain the fullness of
my gospel, but during the formation of the great and abominable church many parts were
discarded, and other parts were altered. False brethren who did not fear me intended to
corrupt and to pervert the right way, to blind the eyes and harden the hearts of others, in
order to obtain power and authority over them.
Conspiracies have corrupted the records beginning among the Jews, and again following the
time of my apostles, and yet again following the time of Joseph and Hyrum. As you have
labored with the records you have witnessed the alterations and insertions, and your effort to
recover them pleases me and is of great worth. You may remove the brackets from your
record as I accept your clarifications and you are permitted to proceed to the end with your
plan to update language to select a current vocabulary, but take care not to change
meaning—and if you cannot resolve the meaning either petition me again or retain the
former words. Nevertheless you labor with an incomplete text.
I desire to heal you from an awful state of blindness so that you may see clearly my will, to
do it. I promised to bring unto you much of my gospel through the Book of Mormon and to
3
provide you with the means to obtain a fullness of my gospel, and I have done this; yet you
refuse to receive the truth even when it is given unto you in plainness. How can you who
pursue the truth yet remain unable to behold your own weakness before me?
Unto what can I liken it, that you may understand? For you are like a man who seeks for
good fruit from a neglected vineyard—unwatered, undunged, unpruned and unattended.
How shall it produce good fruit if you fail to tend it? What reward does the unfaithful
husbandman obtain from his neglected vineyard? How can saying you are a faithful
husbandman ever produce good fruit in the vineyard without doing the work of the
husbandman? For you seek my words to recover them even as you forsake to do them. You
have heretofore produced wild fruit, bitter and ill formed, because you neglect to do my
words.
I speak of you who have hindered my work, that claim to see plainly the beams in others’
eyes. You have claimed to see plainly the error of those who abuse my words, and neglect
the poor, and who have cast you out, to discern their errors, and you say you seek a better
way. Yet among you are those who continue to scheme, backbite, contend, accuse and
forsake my words to do them, even while you seek to recover them. Can you not see that
your works fall short of the beliefs you profess?
For the sake of the promises to the Fathers will I labor with you as a people, and not
because of you, for you have not yet become what you must be to live together in peace. If
you will hearken to my words I will make you my people and my words will give you peace.
Even a single soul who stirs up the hearts of others to anger can destroy the peace of all my
people. Each of you must equally walk truly in my path, not only to profess, but also to do as
you profess.

The Book of Mormon was given as my covenant for this day and contains my gospel, which
came forth to allow people to understand my work and then obtain my salvation. Yet many
of you are like those who reject the Book of Mormon, because you say, but you do not do.
As a people you honor with your lips, but your hearts are corrupt, filled with envy and
malice, returning evil for good, sparing none, even those with pure hearts among you, from
your unjustified accusations and unkind backbiting. You have not obtained the fullness of
my salvation because you do not draw near to me.
The Book of Mormon is to convince the gentiles, and a remnant of Lehi, and the Jews, of
the truth of the words of my ancient prophets and apostles, with all the records agreeing that
I am the Lamb of God, the Son of the Father, and I was sent into the world to do the will of
the Father, and I am the Savior of the world. All must come unto me or they cannot be
saved. And how do men come unto me? It is by faith, repentance, and baptism, which bring
the Holy Ghost to then show you all things you must know.
If the gentiles unto whom the Book of Mormon was given had hearkened unto the Holy
Ghost they would have come unto me in Hyrum and Joseph’s day. But they did not hearken,
and would not allow me to abide with them in word, and in power and in very deed.
Hear therefore my words: Repent and bring forth fruit showing repentance, and I will
establish my covenant with you and claim you as mine.
4
I instruct my people to add to their records the following writings:
You have eliminated the account of the revelation of April 3, 1836. Therefore add the
following account to your record:
On the third day of April 1836 Joseph and Oliver were in the temple in
Kirtland, Ohio, The veil was taken from their minds, and the eyes of their
understanding were opened. They saw the Lord in his glory standing above
them and the breastwork of the pulpit; and under his feet appeared as it were
a paved work of pure gold, in color like amber. His eyes were as a flame of
fire; the hair of his head was white like the pure snow; his countenance shone
above the brightness of the sun; and his voice was as the sound of the
rushing of great waters, even the voice of Jehovah, saying:
I am the Alpha and the Omega; I am he who was slain, I am he who lives; I
am your advocate with the Father.
Behold, your sins are forgiven you; you are clean before me; therefore, lift up
your heads and rejoice. Let the hearts of your brethren also rejoice, and let
the hearts of all my people rejoice, who have, with their might, built this
house to my name. For behold, I have accepted this house, and my name
shall be here; and I will manifest myself to my people in mercy in this house.
Yea, I will appear unto my servants, and speak unto them with mine own
voice, if my people will keep my commandments, and do not pollute this
holy house.
Behold and see: the hearts of thousands and tens of thousands shall greatly
rejoice in consequence of the blessings that shall be poured out, and
the endowment with which my servants will be endowed in this house.
Behold: the fame of this house shall spread to foreign lands; and this is the
beginning of the blessings I shall pour out upon my people.
Even so. Amen.

As this vision closed, the heavens were again opened to their view, and they
saw and beheld, and were endowed with knowledge from the beginning of
this creation to the ends thereof. And they were shown unspeakable things
from the sealed record of Heaven which man is not capable of making
known but must be revealed by the Powers of Heaven.
They beheld Michael, the archangel; Gabriel and Raphael, and divers angels,
from Michael or Adam down to the end of time, showing in turns their
dispensations, their rights, their keys, their honors, their majesty and glory,
and the Powers of their Priesthood; giving line upon line, precept upon
precept; endowing them with knowledge, even here a little, and there a little;
holding forth hope for the work God was yet to perform, even the revelation
of all things which are to come upon the earth until the return of the Lord in
glory with His holy angels—to pour out judgment upon the world, and to
reward the righteous.
And they were unable to take it in; therefore they were commanded to pray
and ask to comprehend by the power of the Spirit, to bring all things to their
remembrance, even the Record of Heaven which would abide in them.
Amen and Amen.

You have removed an altered document taken from an account written on July 12, 1843, and
inquired of me concerning marriage therefore let my people hearken to these things and you
will do well:
Marriage was, in the beginning, between one man and one woman, and was
intended to remain so for the sons of Adam and the daughters of Eve, that
they may multiply and replenish the Earth. I commanded that there shall not
any man have save it be one wife, and concubines he shall have none. I, the
Lord your God, delight in the chastity of women, and in the respect of men
for their wives.
Marriage was established at the beginning as a covenant by the word and
authority of God, between the woman and God, the man and woman, and
the man and God. It was ordained by my word to endure forever. Mankind
fell, but a covenant established by my word cannot fail, and therefore in
death they were not to be parted.
It was my will that all marriages would follow the pattern of the beginning,
and therefore all other marriages would be ordained as at the first. But fallen
men refused my covenant, did not hearken to my word, nor receive my
promise, and marriages fell outside my rule, disorganized and without me,
therefore unable to endure beyond the promises made between the mortal
man and the mortal woman, to end when they are dead.
Covenants, promises, rights, vows, associations and expectations that are
mine will endure, and those that are not cannot endure. Everything in the
world, whether it is established by men, or by Thrones, or by Dominions, or
by Principalities, or by Powers, that are not by my word and promise shall be
thrown down when men are dead, and shall not remain in my Father’s
Kingdom. Only those things that are by me shall remain in and after the
resurrection.
Marriage by me, or by my word, received as a holy covenant between the
woman and I, the man and woman, and the man and I, will endure beyond
death and into my Father’s Kingdom, worlds without end. Those who abide
this covenant will pass by the angels who are appointed, and enter into
exaltation. Concerning them it shall be said, You shall come forth in the first
resurrection, and if they covenant after the first resurrection then in the next
resurrection, and shall inherit in my Kingdom their own thrones, dominions,
principalities, powers, all heights and depths and shall pass by the angels to
receive exaltation, the glory of which shall be a fullness and a continuation of
their posterity forever.
Marriage is necessary for the exaltation of the man and woman, and is
ordained by me through the Holy Spirit of Promise, or in other words by my
covenant, my law, and my authority. Like the marriage in Eden, marriage is a
sacrament for a sacred place, on holy ground, in my presence, or where the
Holy Spirit of Promise can minister. But rebellion has kept mankind from
inheriting what I ordained in the beginning, and therefore women and men
have been left to marry apart from me. Every marriage established by me
requires that I be part of the covenant for it to endure, for Endless is my
6
name and without me the marriage cannot be without end: for so long as I
endure it shall also endure, if it is made by my word and covenant.
But know also that I can do my work at any time, for I have sacred space
above, and can do my work despite earth and hell. The wickedness of men
has not prevented my will but only kept the wicked from what they might
have received.

Whenever I have people who are mine, I command them to build a house, a
holy habitation, a sacred place where my presence can dwell, or where the
Holy Spirit of Promise can minister, because it is in such a place that it has
been ordained to recover you, establish by my word and my oath your
marriages, and endow my people with knowledge from on high that will
unfold to you the mysteries of godliness, instruct you in my ways, that you
may walk in my path. And all the outcasts of Israel will I gather to my house,
and the jealousy of Ephraim and Judah will end. Ephraim will not envy Judah
and Judah will not provoke Ephraim.

And again, I say to you, Abraham and Sarah sit upon a Throne, for he could
not be there if not for Sarah’s covenant with him. Isaac and Rebecca sit upon
a Throne, and Isaac likewise could not be there if not for Rebecca’s covenant
with him. And Jacob and Rachel sit upon a Throne, and Jacob could not be
there if not for Rachel’s covenant with him. And all these have ascended
above Dominions and Principalities and Powers, to abide in my Kingdom.
Therefore the marriage covenant is needed for all those who would likewise
seek to obtain from me the right to continue their seed into eternity, for only
through marriage can Thrones and Kingdoms be established.

I, the Lord, say to you, with these additions, what you have gathered as scriptures are
acceptable to me for this time, and contain many plain and precious things. Nevertheless
whoso is enlightened by the Spirit shall obtain the greater benefit, because you need not think
they contain all my words nor that more will not be given for there are many things yet to be
restored unto my people. It is ordained that some things are only to be given to people who
are mine, and cannot otherwise be given to mankind on Earth. You do not yet understand
the glory to be revealed unto my covenant people.
And now I will accept what you have produced and you need not labor further to recover
my words, but to complete your labors as you have agreed. You have inquired about the
details, including punctuation, and what I say unto one I say unto all: I have given to you my
doctrine, and have also revealed teachings, commandments, precepts, and principles to guide
you and it is not meet that I command you in all things—reason together and apply what I
have given you and it will be enough.

The Book of Mormon was translated by the gift and power of God, and the language given
to Joseph was precious. There were things of beauty in language I revealed to Joseph that
have been lost. Your work has been aided by the labor of Royal Skousen, whose diligence
has pleased me. When the sealed portion of the Book of Mormon is brought forth, then will
you know and understand how great things were lost to you.
There will yet be records restored from all the tribes that will be gathered again into one, and
also as I have said, there is some truth in the Apocrypha, including the Pseudepigrapha and
7
scrolls recovered at Nag Hammadi and other New Testament texts recovered since the time
of Joseph Smith and findings at Qumran, and there are other records yet to be recovered,
and whoso is enlightened by the Spirit shall obtain benefit by their careful study.
It is not enough to receive my covenant, but you must also abide it. And all who abide it,
whether on this land or any other land, will be mine and I will watch over them and protect
them in the day of harvest, and gather them in as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings. I
will number you among the remnant of Jacob, no longer outcasts, and you will inherit the
promises of Israel. You shall be my people and I will be your God and the sword will not
devour you. And unto those who will receive will more be given until they know the
mysteries of God in full.

But remember that without the fruit of repentance, and a broken heart and a contrite spirit,
you cannot keep my covenant; for I, your Lord, am meek and lowly of heart. Be like me.
You have all been wounded, your hearts pierced through with sorrows because of how the
world has treated you. But you have also scarred one another by your unkind treatment of
each other, and you do not notice your misconduct toward others because you think yourself
justified in this. You bear the scars on your countenances, from the soles of your feet to the
head, and every heart is faint. Your visages have been so marred that your hardness,
mistrust, suspicions, resentments, fear, jealousies and anger toward your fellow man bear
outward witness of your inner self; you cannot hide it. When I appear to you, instead of
confidence you feel shame. You fear and withdraw from me because you bear the blood and
sins of your treatment of brothers and sisters. Come to me and I will make sins as scarlet
become white as snow, and I will make you stand boldly before me, confident of my love.
I descended below it all, and know the sorrows of you all, and have borne the grief of it all
and I say to you, Forgive one another. Be tender with one another, pursue judgment, bless
the oppressed, care for the orphan, and uplift the widow in her need for I have redeemed
you from being orphaned and taken you that you are no longer a widowed people. Rejoice in
me, and rejoice with your brethren and sisters who are mine also. Be one.
You pray each time you partake of the sacrament to always have my Spirit to be with you.
And what is my Spirit? It is to love one another as I have loved you. Do my works and you
will know my doctrine; for you will uncover hidden mysteries by obedience to these things
that can be uncovered in no other way. This is the way I will restore knowledge to my
people. If you return good for evil you will cleanse yourself and know the joy of your
Master. You call me Lord and do well to regard me so, but to know your Lord is to love one
another. Flee from the cares and longings that belong to Babylon, obtain a new heart, for
you have all been wounded. In me you will find peace and through me will come Zion, a
place of peace and safety.
There are only two ways: the way I lead that goes upward in light and truth unto Eternal
lives, and if you turn from it, you follow the way of darkness and the deaths. Those who
want to come where I am must be able to abide the conditions established for my Father’s
Kingdom. I have given to you the means to understand the conditions you must abide. I
came and lived in the world to be the light of the world. I have sent others who have
testified of me and taught you. I have sent my light into the world. Let not your hearts
remain divided from one another and divided from me.
8
Be of one heart, and regard one another with charity. Measure your words before giving
voice to them, and consider the hearts of others. Although a man may err in understanding
concerning many things, yet he can view his brother with charity, and come unto me and
through me he can with patience overcome the world. I can bring him to understanding and
knowledge. Therefore if you regard one another with charity then your brother’s error in
understanding will not divide you. I lead to all truth. I will lead all who come to me to the
truth of all things. The fullness is to receive the truth of all things, and this too from me, in
power, by my word and in very deed. For I will come to you if you will come unto me.
Study to learn how to respect your brothers and sisters and to come together by precept,
reason and persuasion rather than sharply disputing and wrongly condemning each other,
causing anger. Take care how you invoke my name. Mankind has been controlled by the
adversary through anger and jealously which has led to bloodshed and the misery of many
souls. Even strong disagreements should not provoke anger nor to invoke my name in vain
as if I had part in your every dispute. Pray together in humility and together meekly present
your dispute to me, and if you are contrite before me I will tell you my part.

You are not excused from writing a statement of principles that I have required at your
hands. I forbade my servant David from participating, and again forbid him. But I require a
statement of principles to be adopted by the mutual agreement of my people, for if you
cannot do so you will be unable to accomplish other works that I will require at your hands.
When you have an agreed statement of principles I require it to also be added as a guide and
standard for my people to follow. Remember there are others who know nothing, as yet, of
my work now underway, and therefore the guide and standard is to bless, benefit and inform
them—so I command you to be wise in word and kind in deed as you write what I require
of you.
Do not murmur saying, Too much has been required at our hands in too short a time. If
your hearts were right it was a light thing I have asked. You hinder and delay and then you
say I require too much of you and do not allow you time, when, if your hearts were right and
you prepared yourselves you could have finished this work long ago. Do you indeed desire
to be my people? Then accept and do as I have required.

And again, the husband is to hold priesthood to baptize and bless the sacrament of bread
and wine in the home, and the husband and wife are to bless their children together. For the
husband to use authority to administer outward ordinances outside his own family, his wife
must sustain him. I have told you that to remove authority to use priesthood outside a man’s
family requires a unanimous decision by twelve women. A council of twelve women must be
convened either in the man’s home fellowship among those who are acquainted with his
daily walk, or in private at a general conference also including among the twelve women
from the conference those who are acquainted with his daily walk, so that no injustice
results. Reinstatement of the man’s authority must be considered by the same council of
twelve women when the man petitions for the decision to be rescinded, and requires seven
of the twelve to agree upon his reinstatement, which can occur at any time. During the
period of suspension, nothing affects the man’s duties and responsibility in his own family.
9
There remains great work yet to be done. Receive my covenant and abide in it, not as in the
former time when jarring, jealousy, contention and backbiting caused anger, broke hearts
and hardened the souls of those claiming to be my saints. But receive it in spirit, in meekness
and in truth. I have given you a former commandment that I, the Lord, will forgive whom I
will forgive, but of you it is required to forgive all men. And again, I have taught that if you
forgive men their trespasses your Heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you forgive
not men their trespasses neither will your Heavenly Father forgive your trespasses. How do I
act toward mankind: If men intend no offense I take no offense, but if they are taught and
should have obeyed, then I reprove and correct and forgive and forget. You cannot be at
peace with one another if you take offense when none is intended. But again I say, Judge not
others except by the rule you want used to weigh yourself.
I will give to you words to speak to the people to accept my covenant, and you shall read
those words to them. Read first to the people these words I now speak, and then read the
words of the covenant, and the people who will receive and do my words and my covenant
shall then stand and say, Yes.
Then by my law and my word they will be mine and I will be with and lead my people
onward through the Spirit of Truth, the Comforter, the Record of Heaven, the peaceable
things of immortal glory, even the Holy Ghost which will abide with them, and you will be
children of the Most High God, fellow servants and numbered with the congregation of the
just. Therefore rejoice!
And the angels are given charge to watch over and protect my people.
My eyes are over the whole earth and all men everywhere are before me. Men conspire to
overthrow and oppress and use violence to control others through fear. My Spirit restrains
the destroyer to allow those who are in the world and willing to give heed to my words time
to prepare, but I will not always suffer with the wickedness of man.
The Earth groans under the wickedness of mankind upon her face, and she longs for peace
to come. She withholds the abundance of her bounty because of the offenses of men against
me, against one another, and against her. But if righteousness returns and my people prove
by their actions, words and thoughts to yield to my Spirit and hearken to my
commandments, then will the Earth rejoice, for the feet of those who cry peace upon her
mountains are beautiful indeed, and I, the Lord, will bring again Zion, and the earth will
rejoice.
In the world tares are ripening. And so I ask you, What of the wheat? Let your pride, and
your envy, and your fears depart from you. I will come to my tabernacle and dwell with my
people in Zion, and none will overtake it.
Cry peace. Proclaim my words. Invite those who will repent to be baptized and forgiven, and
they shall obtain my Spirit to guide them. The time is short and I come quickly, therefore
open your mouths and warn others to flee the wrath which is to come as men in anger
destroy one another. The wicked shall destroy the wicked, and I will hold the peacemakers in
the palm of my hand and none can take them from me.
10
Be comforted, be of good cheer, rejoice, and look up, for I am with you who remember me,
and all those who watch for me, always, even unto the end. Amen.


COVENANT:
There are four questions I will read. Please remain seated until the four questions have all
been read. If after you hear all four questions you can answer, Yes to all four, then you will
be asked to stand and say, Yes to accept:
First: Do you believe all the words of the Lord which have been read to you this day, and
know them to be true and from the Lord Jesus Christ who has condescended to provide
them to you, and do you covenant with Him to cease to do evil and to seek to continually do
good?
Second: Do you have faith in these things and receive the scriptures approved by the Lord as
a standard to govern you in your daily walk in life, to accept the obligations established by
the Book of Mormon as a covenant and to use the scriptures to correct yourselves and to
guide your words, thoughts and deeds?
Third: Do you agree to assist all others who covenant to likewise accept this standard to
govern their lives to keep the Lord’s will, to succor those who stand in need, to lighten the
burdens of your brothers and sisters whenever you are able, and to help care for the poor
among you?
Fourth: And do you covenant to seek to become of one heart with those who seek the Lord
to establish His righteousness?
If you agree, please stand wherever you are located, either here or in a remote location, to be
recognized and numbered by God and His angels. All those standing please confirm you are
willing to accept this covenant by saying, Yes.
Please be seated.
Now, hear the words of the Lord to those who receive this covenant this day:
All you who have turned from your wicked ways and repented of your evil doings,
of lying and deceiving, and of all whoredoms, and of secret abominations,
idolatries, murders, priestcrafts, envying, and strife, and from all wickedness and
abominations, and have come unto me, and been baptized in my name, and have received a
remission of your sins, and received the Holy Ghost, are now numbered with my people
who are of the house of Israel. I say to you:
Teach your children to honor me.
Seek to recover the lost sheep remnant of this land and of Israel and no longer forsake them.
Bring them unto me and teach them of my ways, to walk in them.
And I, the Lord your God, will be with you and will never forsake you and I will lead you in
the path which will bring peace to you in the troubling season now fast approaching.
I will raise you up and protect you, abide with you, and gather you in due time, and this shall
be a land of promise to you as your inheritance from me.
The Earth will yield her increase, and you will flourish upon the mountains and upon the
hills, and the wicked will not come against you because the fear of the Lord will be with you.
I will visit my house, which the remnant of my people shall build, and I will dwell therein, to
be among you, and no one will need to say, Know ye the Lord, for you all shall know me, from
the least to the greatest.
I will teach you things that have been hidden from the foundation of the world and your
understanding will reach unto Heaven.
And you shall be called the children of the Most High God, and I will preserve you against
the harvest.
12
And the angels sent to harvest the world will gather the wicked into bundles to be burned,
but will pass over you as my peculiar treasure.
But if you do not honor me, nor seek to recover my people Israel, nor teach your children to
honor me, nor care for the poor among you, nor help lighten one another’s burdens, then
you have no promise from me and I will raise up other people who will honor and serve me
and give unto them this land, and if they repent I will abide with them.
The time is now far spent, therefore labor with me and do not forsake my covenant to
perform it; study my words and let them be the standard for your faith and I will add thereto
many treasures. Love one another and you will be mine, and I will preserve you, and raise

This above is being offered by Denver Snuffer; he is claiming that God has spoken to him and he in turn is speaking to his people--note that this is NOT receiving personal revelation--something that Remnant followers have often criticized LDS for--listening to their prophet and not looking to themselves for revelation. In fact, this is exactly what some have criticized as trusting the 'arm of flesh', only this time, it's Snuffer. Remnant people are being asked to make a 'covenant' to accept these words as from God. That means, Denver Snuffer is god's mouthpiece to the Remnant movement and he tells them what is right and wrong, what is doctrine and what is heresy. FYI, in the remnant movement, believing in Polygamy or soul bonding etc. is Heresy. It doesn't matter if a person claims God taught it to them through personal revelation, it will be deemed false revelation because it is not in harmony with Denver Snuffer's teachings. Is that what These people signed up for? Did they join the remnant with the understanding that their personal revelation needed to align with Snuffer's doctrines? Did they know they were going to replace Thomas S. Monson with Denver SNuffer as the one who speaks for God to them? Do they realize that they still 'Follow the Prophet' (just a different Prophet)? Because THAT is what they are covenanting to do, this weekend.

[Jesef]

It doesn't sound anything like Joseph Smith's revelations in D&C, for sure. It sounds like it is in the wordy/lawyerly language of Denver C. Snuffer Jr., a.k.a. now "David" per another one of his revelations (the Davidic Servant, per Gileadi's terminology for the Latter-day Servant/Prophet to precede the Messiah's Second Advent, etc.).

[Jesef]

D&C 39
...
But to as many as received me gave I power to become my Sons, and even so will I give unto as many as receive me power to become my Sons.
And verily, verily I say unto you, He that receiveth my gospel receiveth me, and he that receiveth not my gospel receiveth not me, and this is my gospel: repentance and baptism by water, and then cometh the baptism of fire and the Holy Ghost, yea even the Comforter, which showeth all things and teacheth the peaceable things of the Kingdom.
...
Thou shalt preach the fullness of my gospel which I have sent forth in these last days, the covenant which I have sent forth to recover my people which are of the house of Israel, and it shall come to pass that power shall rest upon thee. Thou shalt have great faith and I will be with thee and go before thy face. Thou art called to labor in my vineyard, and to build up my church, and to bring forth Zion that it may rejoice upon the hills and flourish.
...
Wherefore lay to with your might and call forth laborers into my vineyard, that it may be pruned for the last time. And inasmuch as they do repent, and receive the fullness of my gospel, and become sanctified, I will stay mine hand in judgment.
Wherefore, go forth crying with a loud voice saying, The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! crying, Hosanna! Blessed be the name of the most high God. Go forth baptizing with water, preparing the way before my face for the time of my coming, for the time is at hand. The day nor the hour no man knoweth, but it surely shall come. And he that receiveth these things receiveth me, and they shall be gathered unto me in time and in eternity.
And again, it shall come to pass that on as many as ye shall baptize with water, ye shall lay your hands in the name of Christ and they shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost and shall be looking forth for the signs of my coming and shall know me. Behold I come quickly. Even so. Amen.

If the Snuffer/Remnant understood what "for the last time" means (as well as "pruning" from Jacob 5), and maybe just this one revelation to Joseph Smith, they wouldn't need a conference to make a covenant this weekend or some other "fullness of the gospel" - they would also know that the Church has the power to administer baptism by water and to give the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands. Denver contradicts Joseph.

[Seek the Truth]

Like is this for real.

[inquirringmind]

Is anyone else watching this?

I think they started with a communion service--but the audio wasn't working when someone (I think) said the invocation.

The gathering is outdoors, the location (which I assume is a park somewhere) is beautiful, the singing and music is good, and it looks like there's a little over twenty people there (including children.)

[waialeale]

There is absolutely a different spirit coming from Denver Snuffer than what is present in Joseph Smiths teachings. It is as night and day. Can't you all discern this??? The Holy Ghost testifies to me that Denver is no prophet. His followers might claim, "well look at what is obvious in what he says of some basic universal truths, such as speaking against contention", to which I reply, anyone can state and applaud such things, the trouble comes in clothing pernicious falsehoods in and throughout what is obviously true. I can goto a nice restaurant and order a nice nutritious meal but what does that whole meal become when someone comes over and sprinkles a bunch of sand onto it before I eat it?

It's playing now. Some guy, from the scripture committee, is reviewing the prayer for covenant and answer to that (both from/through Denver, of course).

[Jesef]

Their sincerity and faith in the cause they've adopted is beyond question. It's inspiring. They really believe Denver is Joseph2.0 and are engraving his words on metal plates - 3/8 gauge stainless steel, using engraving laser - quite impressive.

I was surprised about those metal plates too. When their temple will be built, they will have Denver's talk on plates stored there together with Gold and Brass plates, if they get those back (the lady said something like that).

[Jesef]

Overall, it seems extremely informal and so very, very small - like a really low-budget outdoor picnic version of General Conference. It doesn't look like there are very many people actually physically present either. And the talks seem pretty boring. It makes it even harder to fathom that the Lord would "reboot" and forsake all the Latter-day Saints, nearly 200 years worth of labor. In other words, this makes no sense that the Lord would do things this way - it is unfathomable. Their sincerity is very apparent, though.

[Jonesy]

This doesn't sound to me like a revelation from God. Nor does it sound to me like this was given by an evil spirit. This sounds to me like some guy making stuff up as he goes along.

Well, I'm glad to hear that at least it's not an evil spirit...

I have this hope that those who have strayed over to this path will see their errors:

35 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.(2 Nephi 27)

So, there is a chance for apostates who left the church.

SmallFarm, what was the point of that link? Was there an earthquake near the Boise Conference? Was it while Snuffer was speaking (some kind of sign) or what? Thanks.

Just sharing information without trying to add my own spin on it. :-$

[inquirringmind]

This is from.the restoration edition of Doctrine and Covenants, and I'm wondering what it means ( and how mainstream and remnant Mormons understand it)?

Behold, I say unto you that your brethren in Zion begin to repent and the angels rejoice over them, nevertheless I am not well pleased with many things, and I am not well pleased with my servant William E. McLellin, neither with my servant Sidney Gilbert, and the bishop also. And others have many things to repent of, but verily I say unto you that I the Lord will contend with Zion and plead with her strong ones and chasten her until she overcome and are clean before me, for she shall not be moved out of her place. I the Lord have spoken it. Amen.

But if it's just a guy making stuff up as he goes along, what is he getting out of it?

That's what I don't get.

Does anyone remember "JFK," by Oliver Stone?

Remember when the Donald Sutherland character said "follow the money"?

Well that doesn't seem to work here because Mr. Snuffer doesn't seem to be making any money out of this.

Or am I missing something?

Is he somehow?

If not, what's he getting out of any of this?

[Sasquatch]

I still have difficulty accepting that his name is actually Denver Snuffer. Honestly, it sounds like a name a journalist created for a serial killer in Denver, CO. "Three people found dead, the Denver Snuffer has snuffed again"

[inquirringmind]

Making fun of someone's name is kind of a cheep shot, and a little off topic, don't you think?

Does anyone know if they'll be another broadcast today?

He is being revered as the mouthpiece of God. Think of the power that this implies for Denver. Can you at least imagine what you can personally gain if people revere you as a prophet who speaks for God on earth?

He is being honored, his words are being engraven, people will obey the things he says. When you are honored and treated as a celebrity you have all sorts of opportunities for personal gain.

Their conference is indoors today, streaming live from what appears to be a Temple.

Is anyone else watching?

The link is in the OP.

[cyclOps]

No I am not watching. I invite you to watch here instead: https://www.lds.org/general-conference?lang=eng

The Egyptian Theatre
Boise, Idaho

The Egyptian Theater is one of Boise Idaho's most cherished historical landmarks. The theater will provide a clean, acoustical venue to broadcast the Sunday morning conference meeting live.

[inquirringmind]

It looked like a Temple, and I wasn't able to see the whole thing.

I lost my connection while Denver was speaking.

Did anyone else see the whole thing?

And were there any surprises?
