AT THAT DAY WHEN THE GENTILES SHALL SIN AGAINST MY GOSPEL

An email sent to me on October 4, 2017

So what is this great ‘sin’ – that only a people who have received God the Father’s ‘gospel’, by covenant, could truly ‘sin against’ – according to the Book of Mormon?

When the ‘Gentiles’ ‘sin against God the Father’s gospel (3 Nephi 16:10), by ‘administering that which is sacred unto him to whom it is forbidden because of unworthiness’ (4 Nephi 1:27), which will be ‘a sin to be even as Sodom’ (2 Nephi 13:9), then our Father in Heaven will remove His Gospel (and the authority to administer it) from those ‘who are identified with the Gentiles’ (D&C 109:60)

It will be the time when the Lord ‘takes away’ the ‘whole staff of bread’ and the ‘whole stay of water’, or the weekly sacrament ordinance, from His consecrated buildings (2 Nephi 13:1) – which Elder David A. Bednar prophetically warned numerous Stake Conferences about in 2015:

‘When the Nigerian government outlawed the Church, for a time, the faithful Saints, who were banned from meeting in the Lord’s consecrated buildings, conducted their sacrament meetings under a mango tree. And the work of the Lord was carried on... I fear that when a similar day comes to North America, the members of the Church in the United States and Canada will not make such an easy transition.’

It is the time when the Lord told Isaiah He will ‘cut off from Israel or His Church head and tail, branch and rush in one day’ (2 Nephi 19:14)

It is the time that the Lord prophesied He will (temporarily) forsake His Latter Day Church:

(3 Nephi 22:6-8)

6 For the Lord hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.

7 For a small moment have I forsaken thee, but with great mercies will I gather thee.

8 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment, but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer.

(Note: In the Joseph Smith Translation of Revelation 12 verse 7, the ‘woman’ is the ‘church of God’ – which, in Mormon chapter 8, is the ‘holy church of God’ that Moroni prophetically warned will become ‘polluted’ by Latter Day ‘hypocrites and pollutions’)

(Mormon 8:38)

38 O ye pollutions, ye hypocrites, ye teachers, who sell yourselves for that which will canker, why have ye polluted the holy church of God? Why are ye ashamed to take upon you the name of Christ? Why do ye not think that greater is the value of an endless happiness than that misery which never dies--because of the praise of the world?

It is the time when the Savior will (temporarily) put the Church – His ‘wife’ (Ezekiel 16), who is our ‘mother’ (as we receive the Savior’s Gospel and Gospel ordinances from His Church) – ‘away’ for a time:

(2 Nephi 7:1)

1 Yea, for thus saith the Lord: Have I put thee away, or have I cast thee off forever? For thus saith the Lord: Where is the bill of your mother’s divorcement? To whom have I put thee away, or to which of my creditors have I sold you? Yea, to whom have I sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.

It is the coming long prophesied Latter Day period when the angel of the Lord revealed to the prophet Daniel, in vision, that the membership of the Church, and the Holy Temple(s) of God, would be (temporarily) confiscated by the wicked – for ‘two thousand and three hundred days’ (or approximately 6 years and 4 months):

(Daniel 8:13-14)

13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?

14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

This coming sobering time is the period when President Dieter F. Uchtdorf’s parable, ‘A Summer With Great Aunt Rose’, will be fulfilled:

That is the parable where young ‘Eva’ (a faithful remnant of the ‘Saints of the Lamb’ and the ‘covenant people of the Lord’ in a day to come (1 Nephi 14:14), who will be the ‘escaped of Israel’ (2 Nephi 14:2), or the ‘escaped of the house of Jacob’ (2 Nephi 20:20), will be carried out into the ‘wilderness’ (JST-Revelation 12:14) – after her ‘mother’ (the Church (2 Nephi 7:1) undergoes ‘unexpected’ critical ‘surgery’ to save her life (the surgical removal and binding of the ‘tares’ [or false secret combination counterfeit members of the Church in our midst and those who will follow them (Helaman 6:38)] after the ‘wheat’ [the members of the Church who remain faithful – with their hands on the ‘iron rod’ (1 Nephi 11:25)] or ‘Eva’ in the parable, are ‘separated’ [out into the ‘wilderness’] (D&C 86:1-7)) – while ‘Eva’(s) ‘Father’ (the Lord Jesus Christ), who will take ‘Eva’ (the faithful Saints) out with her ‘never married’ ‘Great Aunt Rose’ (who represents the previous gospel dispensations – or the prophets and covenant people of the Lord, and their recorded scriptures, from past gospel dispensations – who, themselves, never established Zion) ‘countryside home’ (or the scriptural ‘wilderness’ (JST-Revelation 12:14) for the ‘escaped of Israel’ (2 Nephi 14:2))... This same ‘Father’ (the Savior) both checks in on and even comes out to check on ‘Eva’, while He mostly attends to ‘Eva(s)’ ‘mother’ – during her life-saving ‘surgery’ (which will be the cleansing of the Lord’s house’):

(D&C 50:4-9)

4 Behold, I, the Lord, have looked upon you, and have seen abominations in the church that profess my name.

5 But blessed are they who are faithful and endure, whether in life or in death, for they shall inherit eternal life.

6 But wo unto them that are deceivers and hypocrites, for, thus saith the Lord, I will bring them to judgment.

7 Behold, verily I say unto you, there are hypocrites among you, who have deceived some, which has given the adversary power; but behold such shall be reclaimed;

8 But the hypocrites shall be detected and shall be cut off, either in life or in death, even as I will; and wo unto them who are cut off from my church, for the same are overcome of the world.

9 Wherefore, let every man beware lest he do that which is not in truth and righteousness before me.

(D&C 64:37-40)

37 Behold, I, the Lord, have made my church in these last days like unto a judge sitting on a hill, or in a high place, to judge the nations.

38 For it shall come to pass that the inhabitants of Zion shall judge all things pertaining to Zion.

39 And liars and hypocrites shall be proved by them, and they who are not apostles and prophets shall be known.

40 And even the bishop, who is a judge, and his counselors, if they are not faithful in their stewardships shall be condemned, and others shall be planted in their stead.

(D&C 112:23-26)

23 Verily, verily, I say unto you, darkness covereth the earth, and gross darkness the minds of the people, and all flesh has become corrupt before my face.

24 Behold, vengeance cometh speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth, a day of wrath, a day of burning, a day of desolation, of weeping, of mourning, and of lamentation; and as a whirlwind it shall come upon all the face of the earth, saith the Lord.

25 And upon my house shall it begin, and from my house shall it go forth, saith the Lord;

26 First among those among you, saith the Lord, who have professed to know my name and have not known me, and have blasphemed against me in the midst of my house, saith the Lord.
