The Covenant With Death

The Covenant with Death

Disclaimer: This article certainly doesn't qualify for my usual disclaimer. Yet, if there ever were a time to get and seek the Spirit before reading, this article is it. Pray - seek in humility the voice of the Lord to guide you to all truth. 

Proclaimer: I don't think that's a word, but I need to be very clear about what I am proclaiming here. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Lord's church. We are His people. The Apostles are the watchmen of Israel - the servants of the Lord. Yet, there are many - many scriptures about the state of the watchmen before the gathering of Israel commences. These prophecies are dire, but ultimately have a happy ending, and those who have oil in their lamps and those who are "tithed" themselves whose desires are primarily in the Lord rather than in men are those who survive the sifting. 

Introduction

I was hoping to avoid this topic on my blog, but I can no longer move forward in good conscience without following the prompting to post about the marvelous events in the world and how the brethren have been guiding us during this time of turmoil. Before I do, I have to underscore the importance of seeking one's own witness. The brethren have never asked us to follow them blindly - they have taught us that if the Lord reveals to us a different direction than the one in which they are headed, we are to follow the Lord. 

"I am more afraid that this people have so much confidence in their leaders that they will not inquire for themselves of God whether they are led by Him" ~ Brigham Young (1862)

How else could the parable of the ten virgins come to pass if we are to blindly follow the brethren? How does our ability to receive light individually come into play if the brethren march us unhindered toward ZION. For years, I thought there would be a schism among the brethren where some go down path A and some path B - and though I still believe this may happen I never imagined we may be heading down the wrong path before such schism occurs. Yet, the scriptures are plain!

If you haven't already, please read the recent article, Can We Be Led Astray? 

Moroni's Trumpet

Let's touch briefly on Moroni's Trumpet. On Wednesday March 18, 2020, a 5.7 magnitude earthquake shook Salt Lake such that Moroni's Trumpet was dropped. I don't want to do a deep dive here into the symbolism of Moroni - you can read a partial account in the article The Son of Man. Briefly, consider that Joseph Smith never named the angel on the Nauvoo temple. Consider that early saints referred to "Moroni" as both "Moroni" and "Nephi" about equally but referred to this angel who visited Joseph far, far more as "The Angel of the Lord." Notice how this has changed culturally to just Moroni. 

So, there stands a golden angel atop most of our temples. A golden trumpet links to the book of Revelation and the fall festivals (Feast of Trumpets.) Yet, the oft-quoted Revelation verses (Rev 14:6-7) in conjunction with Moroni about an angel flying through the midst of heaven with the everlasting gospel - no trumpet is mentioned there. The trumpets are used in conjunction with the judgments of God as well as the first resurrection. 

D&C 88:98 They are Christ’s, the first fruits, they who shall descend with him first, and they who are on the earth and in their graves, who are first caught up to meet him; and all this by the voice of the sounding of the trump of the angel of God.

So what does the Trumpet falling mean? Humorously, I've seen several folks claim this means nothing at all! The amount of arrogance involved in making such a declaration is staggering for one would have to peer so deeply into the heavens as to see all of God's intents and understand all of God's higher thoughts as to make such an arrogant declaration. Clearly, the dropped trumpet means something. What?

Here are two events that occurred in the days leading up to the event:

On Monday, January 20th, 2020 Elder Stevenson said the following while addressing the NAACP:

“Our position as a Church is clear. We do condemn all racism, past or present, in any form and we disavow any theory that black or dark skin is a sign of a curse. We are brothers and sisters and I consider you friends.” ~ Elder 

Friends. Brothers and Sisters. The key Joseph gave to the twelve so as to not fall due to pride (see article Can We Be Led Astray?) was "Do not betray Jesus Christ ... do not betray the revelations of God whether in the bible, Book of Mormon, or Doctrine & Covenants or any of the word of God." If you cannot see how the above comment by Elder Stevenson qualifies, you're practicing self deception or are unfamiliar with the scriptures. This truth - this link from curses to dark skin isn't just mentioned several times in the Book of Mormon but also in the Pearl of Great Price. This link is so obvious, I have zero interest in even citing those verses as I do not want to tempt the Lord's wrath myself. There is a clear link from curses to dark skins in the written word, and though we have some indications as to the Lord's reasons behind such curses, He has never stated that He's given us all His reasons yet all His reasons come from a being who is both perfectly just and perfectly merciful.

Elder Stevenson betrayed the sacred revelations from the Lord, and thus the Lord Himself. Why this doesn't anger more "saints" is perplexing to me! Are we so afraid of the shame of our fellow saints that we are too afraid to even discuss this? Shame is so central here to what's happening and will be increasingly more central to this sifting. We will be forced to choose: Are we, like Elder Stevenson, ashamed of the Lord's sacred word, or we ashamed of man? I choose to be ashamed of man and bear all shame leveled at me for the Lord's name sake.

Almost exactly one month later, also on a Wednesday, the brethren changed the BYU honor code to remove the language prohibiting same sex public displays of affection. source

If this image above doesn't disturb you to your soul ... 

I've seen several "saints" attempt to defend this decision as well that was ratified by the Apostles. These attempts to justify this change usually point to "clarifying comments" by the church, yet these comments are nothing more than an excuse. Despite these transparent attempts to explain away the changes by saying homosexual lifestyles are incompatible with the principles of the Gospel, the fact remains that homosexual lifestyles are now compatible with BYU's honor code where such behaviors are still allowed.

Now you can ask those who are closest to me about my expectation for the general conference that followed these events. From the prior October 2019 conference to February, I was thoroughly excited for conference and President Nelson's promise of an unforgettable conference. I had believed all along that the brethren were in lock step with the Lord and by necessity held on to the weightier pearls until such a time as the focus of the Lord would change from the time of the gentiles to the gathering of Israel. Of all the scenarios of sifting that I have considered over many years, never did I consider such a situation where the brethren would embrace the world and soften our standards and disavow scripture to be more widely embraced by Babylon. Never did I consider that the Lord's sermon on salt would apply to our church as a whole:

Matthew 5:13 ¶ Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

• January 20, Wednesday - The Lord's word is disavowed
• February 19, Wednesday  - Homosexual behavior permitted at BYU 
• March 18, Wednesday - Moroni drops his Trumpet

Notice a pattern? What also happened on a Wednesday? For the Lord to have been deceased for 3.5 days, He would have necessarily died on a Wednesday. I wonder if the brethren were about to make some other announcement that day that was thwarted by Moroni spiking his Trumpet in disgust. Enough!

Now the question is: Why now? Why did the Apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ suddenly disavow scripture and invite homosexual behavior at BYU campus - an institution at least partly funded by the sacred tithing funds of the Lord Jesus Christ? These were the questions burning in my mind leading into General Conference. What has happened!? WHY!?

"The way forward is to do just what this forum has as its goal. Invite and respect as many faith actors as possible, build understanding among them, and integrate them into every aspect of the 2030 SDG agenda. It will lead to the greatest success possible for equity, justice, and peace." ~Sharon Eubank, First Counselor in the Relief Society General Presidency and director of LDS Charities - October 3, 2018

The Covenant With Death

Isaiah 28:15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:

18 ¶ And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.

You can read my full reaction to General Conference here. What began as a deep spiritual impression that The Covenant with Death mentioned in Isaiah 28 had been made, quickly manifested many fruits that confirmed such in fact has happened. See the linked thread for evidences that the Church has been in lock step with the United Nations (research Agenda 21 / 2030) and the World Health Organizations - organizations which are summarily opposed to the Gospel of Jesus Christ (see links featured at the end of this article) Population culling and teaching 4 year olds about gender identity and masturbation are among the fruits of these two organizations. No wonder the brethren updated the temple recommend questions:

OLD: Do you support, affiliate with, or agree with any group or individual whose teachings or practices are contrary to or oppose those accepted by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?

NEW: Do you support or promote any teachings, practices, or doctrine contrary to those of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?

The brethren couldn't pass this question. BYU now actively promotes teachings and practices contrary to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And, notice how the teachings "accepted" by the "Church" has become so malleable a standard. What about the written word? Remember the key from Joseph Smith to the Twelve Apostles. Do not betray the Lord. Do not betray the written word.

So again - why? Here we are in late July 2020, and is "why" so hard to see? The church has been in lock step with the massively fraudulent scam that is the COVID-19 "pandemic." Despite the massive evidences of fraud, the numbers are nowhere near justifying the egregious assault on religious liberty as well as the liberty of making one's own medical choice in the outrageous mask mandates. "Coincidentally" the money supply is drying up. We're being conditioned by governors to submit to "contact tracing." This reads like Mark of the Beast for Dummies - The push to compel us and condition us towards a massive tracking system that links our ability to buy and sell to a digital currency and to our submission to an Orwellian medical dictatorship is about as clear as can be. The church has been in lock step with this scam from the beginning - sending missionaries home despite there not being any stories early on of missionaries getting sick at all! Wouldn't that be the first question you'd ask as President of the Church? 

"How many casualties?" 

"Zero sir." 

"Send them all home!"

COVID-19 is so very clearly a ruse. The amount of liberties we've given up to a virus that has a 99.7% survivability rate - the tyrannical edicts that are coming from red state governors - and President Nelson's call to us to be "good global citizens." Hear me now: The softening of the honor code and the disavowing of the Book of Mormon were public signs or tokens of a covenant made with the evil forces that are behind this scam.

Scourge 

A cause of wide or great affliction

Consider the above definition of "scourge" and how this fits with COVID-19 so far. Whether or not you believe COVID-19 is fake, real, or somewhere in between, clearly this was planned (see "event 201" among other evidences) by globalist gadiantons. Did the brethren of the church make a covenant with these gadiantons, i.e. "death and hell" to be spared from what's coming? Again, whether or not COVID-19's scariness factor is on par with the seasonal flu (it is) the great coming affliction is a clear buildup to compel all - both old and young and rich and poor - to take upon themselves the mark of the beast. So bear all this in mind (a lot, I realize) while you read along with me Isaiah 28.

Isaiah 28 Breakdown

Isaiah 28:1 Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine!

The state of the church right now.

2 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.

The OMAS - the One Mighty and Strong from D&C 85:7 is compared to a tempest of hail and a destroying storm. To whom is he effectively a tempest and destroying storm?

3 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:

Oh - to the drunkards of Ephraim. Who is Ephraim? (answer)

7 ¶ But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.

Avraham Gileadi's breakdown of this clear prophecy may actually be behind the reason he was excommunicated without explanation. See Brother Gileadi's breakdown of Isaiah 28 for complimentary ... commentary)

8 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.

We have become a church of appearances, following the commandments of men just as in the days of the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ. Instead of counting steps on Sunday, we're counting white shirts. Instead of feeding the sheep with the meat of the gospel, we've been kept on a steady diet of milk. Here is an excerpt from Avraham Gileadi's commentary regarding verse 8:

As the political and ecclesiastical leaderships of Jehovah’s people always appear on a par (Isaiah 3:2-4; 9:14-16; 24:2), so Ephraim’s “fat proud ones” (vv 1, 4) include its “priests,” “prophets,” and “seers” (Isaiah 56:10-12). Intoxicated with the wine of self-deception (v 15), they “stray,” “err,” and “blunder” in their policies. Instead of obtaining revelation from Jehovah (vv 9, 14, 16, 26, 29), they water down his word until it is ineffectual in empowering his people (vv 10-13; Isaiah 32:6). The best their spiritual feasts offer is “vomit”—partly digested food regurgitated for Jehovah’s people to consume. ~ Avraham Gileadi

9 ¶ Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.

Can the state of Ephraim be any more clear? We've been on a steady diet of milk for over 100 years. How many people realize that the end times King David is King over ALL of Israel - which includes Ephraim? Yet the branches have taken strength unto themselves rather than build the watchower (breakdowns of Jacob 5 and D&C 101 forthcoming after this.)

10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.

12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.

13 But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

The servant arrives on scene while Ephraim is stuck on milk. He's got knowledge and starts sharing it but ... well Gileadi's breakdown of verse 13 is superior to what I had in mind here:

Instead of receiving a greater portion of the “word of Jehovah” through divine revelation, the people of Ephraim remain ensconced in its lesser version as that is all they know. The end result is their ruination: “Sanctify Jehovah of Hosts, making him your fear, him your awe. And [to you] he will be a sanctuary, but to the two houses of Israel a stumbling block or obstructing rock, and a snare, catching unawares the inhabitants of Jerusalem. Many will stumble into them, and when they fall shall be broken, and when they become ensnared shall be taken captive” (Isaiah 8:13-15; cf. 5:13; 42:18-25). ~ Avraham Gileadi

14 ¶ Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.

15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:

I hope this goes without saying, but Isaiah's prophecies were layered in duality. Dual fulfillments where the people and events of his day are used to prophesy of end times people and events. Here the "scornful men" that rule the people are used to describe those who reign over Israel in the latter days when the Davidic Servant's ministry begins. Verse 15 here is essential to understand what is happening right now and why the "drunkards" of Ephraim are in lock step with Babylon. A deal has been struck brothers and sisters. A deal which the brethren believe will protect them from what's happening ... right ... now and what comes next. 

16 ¶ Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.

The context of the chief corner stone in this chapter clearly is the servant of Isaiah - yet another role / title that is layered between the giver and recipient of the Davidic Covenant - the recipient being the one mighty and strong who is the king of the coming kingdom from the Lord's prayer "Thy Kingdom come." He is initially rejected but ends up standing as King of the Lord's Kingdom. "He that believeth shall not make haste" - I believe this is a reference to both the overflowing scourge and those who have "eyes to see." Those who see what's happening will not hastily join in with the clearly erroneous direction of "wear mask" and "social distance" and all the other hasty hype and panic.

17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

The hail is the One Mighty and Strong. He sweeps away the refuge of lies and points - well, all of this out. The "waters" shall overflow the hiding place may point to a fulfillment that has two meanings - both literal and figurative. 

18 ¶ And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.

Communism IS Luciferianism. How exactly this covenant is disannulled isn't clear, but the fact that the scourge treads down the drunkards - the watchmen - of Eprhiam. This plugs in perfectly with D&C 101 as you will read in a moment. Any student of history understands how much room is made for religion in communism. Any person watching the agenda of the UN and the luciferian globalists understands just how many concessions will be given to any religion other than their own - let alone Christian religions. Whatever deal that is struck with these globalist gadianton luciferians, will be nullified by these luciferians themselves should it be allowed by the Lord to persist; and, it sounds like the Lord allows this to persist here.

I highly recommend you read the rest of Isaiah 28 with a prayer in heart. Read Gileadi's full breakdown. Ask yourself: Did this just occur once in the days of Isaiah? Or does the greater pertinence here point to modern day Ephraim who is the tribe that has served as the spine of the modern day restoration of the Gospel?  Think on it - pray on it.

Jacob 5 Breakdown

John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

Who are the branches? In John 15, Jesus is addressing His Apostles. They are the branches while He is the vine. Consider the above definition while reading with me in Jacob 5:

Jacob 5:42 Behold, I knew that all the fruit of the vineyard, save it were these, had become corrupted. And now these which have once brought forth good fruit have also become corrupted; and now all the trees of my vineyard are good for nothing save it be to be hewn down and cast into the fire.

43 And behold this last, whose branch hath withered away, I did plant in a good spot of ground; yea, even that which was choice unto me above all other parts of the land of my vineyard. 

Verse 43 clearly sets the stage of "where." This an

Ether 2:10 For behold, this is a land which is choice above all other lands; wherefore he that doth possess it shall serve God or shall be swept off; for it is the everlasting decree of God. And it is not until the fulness of iniquity among the children of the land, that they are swept off.

There's some patriotic red there for that verse in case there's any doubt. Even the question of "when?" begins to be answered already in verse 43--the branch that withered away. The Nephites.

44 And thou beheldest that I also cut down that which cumbered this spot of ground, that I might plant this tree in the stead thereof. 

Ephraim supplanting Manasseh + possible non Manasseh. In case you're unfamiliar, the Book of Mormon did in fact take place in the promised land of Joseph which shouldn't be surprising. (see X DNA gene that is mostly eastern USA versus other Indian genetic markers)

45 And thou beheldest that a part thereof brought forth good fruit, and a part thereof brought forth wild fruit; and because I plucked not the branches thereof and cast them into the fire, behold, they have overcome the good branch that it hath withered away. 

When I awakened to our awful situation, I realized that the current failures we're witnessing are over one hundred years in the making. Perhaps I will write a follow-up article on this, but ask yourself: Upon which precedent did Wilford Woodruff cave to the pressure from the world? How often has the Lord instructed his prophets to cave to the world versus delivering them from siege after siege after siege. The Amalekites had surrounded Israel, yet Gideon and his 300 followed the Lord's instructions and delivered Israel against an overwhelming force. The Philistines had surrounded Israel, yet David himself represented those small and simple means by which Israel was delivered yet again by an overwhelming force. Finally, the Assyrians had laid siege to Jerusalem and, you guessed it - delivered from an overwhelming force, yet this time it was no mortal but the Angel of the Lord himself. Our being in lock-step with the globalist UN and WHO in our response to COVID is the culmination of failures that began in the 1890s when Wilford Woodruff sought deliverance from financial problems from the globalist gadianton bankers of his day - whether deliberately or otherwise, that's what happened. Sound crazy? Do your own homework on this one. (see links at the end)

46 And now, behold, notwithstanding all the care which we have taken of my vineyard, the trees thereof have become corrupted, that they bring forth no good fruit; and these I had hoped to preserve, to have laid up fruit thereof against the season, unto mine own self. But, behold, they have become like unto the wild olive tree, and they are of no worth but to be hewn down and cast into the fire; and it grieveth me that I should lose them.

47 But what could I have done more in my vineyard? Have I slackened mine hand, that I have not nourished it? Nay, I have nourished it, and I have digged about it, and I have pruned it, and I have dunged it; and I have stretched forth mine hand almost all the day long, and the end draweth nigh. And it grieveth me that I should hew down all the trees of my vineyard, and cast them into the fire that they should be burned. Who is it that has corrupted my vineyard?

48 And it came to pass that the servant said unto his master: Is it not the loftiness of thy vineyard—have not the branches thereof overcome the roots which are good? And because the branches have overcome the roots thereof, behold they grew faster than the strength of the roots, taking strength unto themselves. Behold, I say, is not this the cause that the trees of thy vineyard have become corrupted?

"How" this has happened is addressed here. "Is it not the loftiness of thy vineyard." Pride. Exactly ... exactly as Joseph Smith warned:

Let the Twelve be humble & not be exalted & beware of pride & not seek to excel one above another but act for each other's good & honorably make mention of each other's name in our prayers before the Lord & before our fellow men, & not backbite & devour our brother ... When the Twelve or any other witness of Jesus Christ stands before the congregations of the earth & they preach in the power ... let that man or those men take care that they do not ascribe the glory unto themselves ... O ye Twelve and all saints, profit by this important Key ... see to it that you do not betray ... Jesus Christ ... that you do not betray the revelations of God ... yea in all your kicking, & floundering see to it that you do not this thing lest innocent blood be found in your skirts & you go down to hell. We may ever know by this sign that there is danger of our being led to a fall & apostasy, when we give way to the devil so as to neglect the first known duty but whatever you do do not betray your Friend. (~ Joseph Smith - full quote discussed in Can We Be Led Astray?)

According to Joseph Smith - yes, we can be led astray even by the Apostles and the key to this sign is when the brethren betray the written word as was done in February and March of this year.

49 And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard said unto the servant: Let us go to and hew down the trees of the vineyard and cast them into the fire, that they shall not cumber the ground of my vineyard, for I have done all. What could I have done more for my vineyard?

50 But, behold, the servant said unto the Lord of the vineyard: Spare it a little longer.

The servant is the end time's king who has been protecting Israel and bearing the name of the Lord since he saved Abraham from Elkenah. Verse 49 cannot be understated - Jehovah, the Lord of the vineyard, is ready to hew it all down as he did the Nephites. Think on that. The servant asks Jehovah to spare the vineyard a little longer just as the Angel of the Lord asks Jehovah to spare Jerusalem in Zechariah chapter 1. (same guy)

52 Wherefore, let us take of the branches of these which I have planted in the nethermost parts of my vineyard, and let us graft them into the tree from whence they came; and let us pluck from the tree those branches whose fruit is most bitter, and graft in the natural branches of the tree in the stead thereof.

This is perhaps the greatest clue as to answering the question: "When?" This is the gathering of Israel. Pluck out the most bitter and graft in the natural branches again. The gathering of Israel happens while the house of God is set in order. Here's yet another prophecy that points to these events when the most bitter and corrupt branches are yet among us:

D&C 112:25 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.

This time I used some patriotic blue. This happens here. This happens *checks watch* right about now-ish.

58 And we will nourish again the trees of the vineyard, and we will trim up the branches thereof; and we will pluck from the trees those branches which are ripened, that must perish, and cast them into the fire.

59 And this I do that, perhaps, the roots thereof may take strength because of their goodness; and because of the change of the branches, that the good may overcome the evil.

Think on what a branch is - the branch holds up the smaller branches and leaves fruit. Jesus is the vine. The watchmen are the branches. A bitter branch cannot bring forth good fruit. The Lord cleans house here by His servant. After that - this happens:

61 Wherefore, go to, and call servants, that we may labor diligently with our might in the vineyard, that we may prepare the way, that I may bring forth again the natural fruit, which natural fruit is good and the most precious above all other fruit.

62 Wherefore, let us go to and labor with our might this last time, for behold the end draweth nigh, and this is for the last time that I shall prune my vineyard.

This is the same order of operations in D&C 101 as you will see in the next section. Take a mental note here that is Jehovah and the Servant who pluck and prune the vineyard.

D&C 101 Breakdown

So we've established "when" and "where" in Jacob 5 unmistakably - the USA just before the gathering of Israel and after the new tree, Ephraim, supplants the old, Mannaseh (promised land of Joseph.) We've established "when" and "who" in Isaiah 28 insofar as the tribe of Ephraim is concerned when the One Mighty and Strong arrives on scene. "How" is addressed in both Isaiah 28 and Jacob 5 - pride / loftiness is clearly in alignment in both. D&C 101, makes "who" even clearer and "how" even clearer. "When" and "where" is also crystal clear. This is a new parable given to Joseph Smith while the saints were yet in Missouri and battle with the native Missourians seemed inevitable. Yet Joseph was told the time had not yet come but that it would indeed come! And this parable given to Joseph In D&C 101 lays out the details: Who, what, when, where, and why!

D&C 101:42 He that exalteth himself shall be abased, and he that abaseth himself shall be exalted.

This verse is the lead-in here to the parable. When considering Jacob 5's and Isaiah 28's alignment of pride / loftiness, one can almost see the Lord's thinking here as He leads into this parable:

43 And now, I will show unto you a parable, that you may know my will concerning the redemption of Zion.

Speaking of pride, check out this parable about the redemption of ZION? Has this redemption happened yet? Read on.

44 A certain nobleman had a spot of land, very choice; and he said unto his servants: Go ye unto my vineyard, even upon this very choice piece of land, and plant twelve olive trees;

45 And set watchmen round about them, and build a tower, that one may overlook the land round about, to be a watchman upon the tower, that mine olive trees may not be broken down when the enemy shall come to spoil and take upon themselves the fruit of my vineyard.

46 Now, the servants of the nobleman went and did as their lord commanded them, and planted the olive trees, and built a hedge round about, and set watchmen, and began to build a tower.

We have yet another parable of a vineyard. There's another shorter one (than Jacob / Zenos' allegory) in Isaiah 5. I encourage you to open Isaiah 5 and read through if even just briefly. All these themes are repeated in Isaiah 28, Jacob 5, D&C 101 and elsewhere. They all are clearly about the redemption of ZION and the sad state of the vineyard just before. How has this been hidden?? Again we have the "very choice" land. We know where this is. According to these three verses above, the command is given to plant trees and build a watchtower. This is the founding of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and all was going swimmingly at the begining.

47 And while they were yet laying the foundation thereof, they began to say among themselves: And what need hath my lord of this tower?

48 And consulted for a long time, saying among themselves: What need hath my lord of this tower, seeing this is a time of peace?

"How?" and "Why?" are similar questions here, but instead of pride being given as the answer, we see how this pride overcomes the servants. "What possible need hath the Lord of this tower?" This is the servants elevating their own pride and counsel above the Lord's. This is the branches taking strength unto themselves and away from "he whose right it is" - notice the similarity to the lead-in to the parable in D&C 101 and this prophecy from Ezekiel 21:

Ezekiel 21:25 ¶ And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end,

26 Thus saith the Lord God; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high.

27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him.

There's some patriotic white for you. Those who have exalted themselves shall be made low and he that is low shall be exalted. This reversal theme is all over Isaiah and centers on the servant of Isaiah who is exalted and extolled and made very high (3 Nephi 20, Isaiah 52)

49 Might not this money be given to the exchangers? For there is no need of these things.

Who are the money exchangers? The federal reserve. The evil swiss bankers - The rothschilds - Those who use usury to enslave mankind. Wilford Woodruff sought their help rather than the Lord's which is about as topsy turvy as can be. Do your own homework here brothers and sisters....you'll find a disturbing tale of debts paid off with more debts paid off with more debts - which is how the globalist bankers subvert countries and kingdoms and subjugate them to their will. The more I research this, the more I notice just how often "money" is mentioned in relation to the events before the millennium. Here are few to consider:

• The mark of the beast (central to surviving the plagues from God)
• The parable of the talents (read that one with new eyes)
• The temple endowment (think of what is said when)
• D&C 101
• Isaiah 28 (riches mentioned)
• etc.

50 And while they were at variance one with another they became very slothful, and they hearkened not unto the commandments of their lord.

Again - consider Joseph Smith's warning to the Twelve.

51 And the enemy came by night, and broke down the hedge; and the servants of the nobleman arose and were affrighted, and fled; and the enemy destroyed their works, and broke down the olive trees.

This is the overflowing scourge that treads down the watchmen of Ephraim who sought refuge among those who were behind this evil. The enemy is the evil behind this global COVID farce we're experiencing right ... now.

52 Now, behold, the nobleman, the lord of the vineyard, called upon his servants, and said unto them, Why! what is the cause of this great evil?

53 Ought ye not to have done even as I commanded you, and—after ye had planted the vineyard, and built the hedge round about, and set watchmen upon the walls thereof—built the tower also, and set a watchman upon the tower, and watched for my vineyard, and not have fallen asleep, lest the enemy should come upon you?

When was the last time you ever heard anything about the end times Davidic King at church? When was the last time you heard about the servant of Isaiah - Isaiah who is quoted both by Nephi and Jesus Christ Himself. When were Isaiah's prophecies ever a focus in our church or in the milky talks given by the brethren? The Lord commanded his servants to prepare for the coming Kingdom of God and this failure to prepare the minds of the saints to even have a basic awareness of the King of said Kingdom - is a failure of astronomical proportions. 

54 And behold, the watchman upon the tower would have seen the enemy while he was yet afar off; and then ye could have made ready and kept the enemy from breaking down the hedge thereof, and saved my vineyard from the hands of the destroyer.

This verse really makes one wonder what would have happened had the brethren built the watchtower. I believe they would have been seeking for the watchman - the servant of the vineyard who is the Destroyer - who is Abaddon. How many saints think Abaddon is the devil?? Half, maybe? How many think the "Destroyer" is the devil? The same half? Maybe  a slight variance? Had the brethren been searching for this king and seeking to set him upon his throne early, the branches would never have taken strength unto themselves. Effectively they've become the steward of Gondor who refuses Aragorn's right to the throne.

Remember, it's the servant of the vineyard who plucks out branches and casts them into the fire. Here, the Lord tells the servants the vineyard could have been saved from the hands of the destroyer. I believe this is a reference to what happens next rather than what had just happened. I suspect the vineyard is accosted by the enemy and perhaps occupied by said enemy, but further destruction occurs when the destroyer takes the vineyard back (which the next verses cover.) I suspect the majority of the brethren are chased out, and Joseph Smith's word about following the majority may come to pass here as they appear to return to the Lord here in verses 54 and 55.

55 And the lord of the vineyard said unto one of his servants: Go and gather together the residue of my servants, and take all the strength of mine house, which are my warriors, my young men, and they that are of middle age also among all my servants, who are the strength of mine house, save those only whom I have appointed to tarry;

56 And go ye straightway unto the land of my vineyard, and redeem my vineyard; for it is mine; I have bought it with money.

"One" of the servants gathers other servants just...like...Jacob 5. Then they prepare for war to redeem the vineyard - I'm guessing from the enemy who overran the vineyard. The promises of vengeance on behalf of Joseph Smith are fulfilled here - yet another lesson our peace loving hippy lessons have failed to prepare our minds and hearts for. Can you imagine what it would have been like growing up with proper lessons to prepare us for this? Do you think maybe we'd hear about learning to use a firearm for crying out loud?

57 Therefore, get ye straightway unto my land; break down the walls of mine enemies; throw down their tower, and scatter their watchmen.

58 And inasmuch as they gather together against you, avenge me of mine enemies, that by and by I may come with the residue of mine house and possess the land.

59 And the servant said unto his lord: When shall these things be?

60 And he said unto his servant: When I will; go ye straightway, and do all things whatsoever I have commanded you;

61 And this shall be my seal and blessing upon you—a faithful and wise steward in the midst of mine house, a ruler in my kingdom.

62 And his servant went straightway, and did all things whatsoever his lord commanded him; and after many days all things were fulfilled.

This is so similar to Jacob 5 - why hasn't this been a central lesson in our church!? The lamenting of the fallen servants / branches / watchmen who took strength unto themselves instead of building the watchtower. Yet the enemy here sure reads like the globalists. Compare to the covenant with death in Isaiah where the watchmen of Ephraim make a covenant to be spared from a scourge but are instead overrun by it. Is this the Lord's doing or the wicked? Sometimes it's one in the same (see: Book of Mormon)

Conclusion 

Jacob 5:56 And go ye straightway unto the land of my vineyard, and redeem my vineyard; for it is mine; I have bought it with money.

The Lord has bought the vineyard with money. Is this a reference to all the tithing that has been used to pay for so much extravagance over the years? Or is this a reference to the tithing of people in Isaiah 6 and D&C 64?

In Isaiah 6, Isaiah witnesses a powerful ordinance where a live coal is placed in his mouth and the Lord asks, "Whom shall I send?" Isaiah answers, "Here am I send me" - clearly there is a link from this chapter to Abraham 3 - and again why on Earth have we never heard this link from Isaiah 6 to Abraham 3 before? When the Apostles ask Jesus why He speaks in parables, He tells them to some it is given to know the mysteries and some it isn't. He then cites Isaiah 6 regarding those who have eyes to see, ears to hear, and hearts to understand and essentially tells the Apostles they are of this order who has eyes to see, ears to hear, and hearts to understand - the seraphim.

Yet these seraphim must suffer the blind, deaf, and dumb, and Isaiah asks "How Long Lord?"

Isaiah 6:11 Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,

12 And the Lord have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.

13 ¶ But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.

That verse 12 sounds a lot like the overflowing scourge of Isaiah 28 and the ruined vineyard of D&C 101. Yet this destruction results in a cleansing in Israel - a tithing of people. Gileadi's commentary on verse 13 is choice:

Although people may flee the cities en mass in Jehovah’s Day of Judgment, they find scant refuge in the countryside (Isaiah 5:30; 8:22). Using the imagery of tithing—in which the Israelites pay a tenth of the land’s yield to the Levites and the Levites pay a tenth of that tenth to the priests (Numbers 18:24-28)—Isaiah contrasts the many who perish with the few who survive. The “holy offspring” left standing—a tenth of the tenth—compares to a terebinth or oak that can renew itself when cut down. The one who fells the tree/s is the king of Assyria/Babylon, Jehovah’s axe and saw (Isaiah 10:15; 37:24). ~ Avraham Gileadi

Consider people as tithing while reading this scripture you've likely heard hundreds of times in regards to paying your tithing as "fire insurance."

D&C 64:22 And after that day, I, the Lord, will not hold any guilty that shall go with an open heart up to the land of Zion; for I, the Lord, require the hearts of the children of men.

23 Behold, now it is called today until the coming of the Son of Man, and verily it is a day of sacrifice, and a day for the tithing of my people; for he that is tithed shall not be burned at his coming.

24 For after today cometh the burning—this is speaking after the manner of the Lord—for verily I say, tomorrow all the proud and they that do wickedly shall be as stubble; and I will burn them up, for I am the Lord of Hosts; and I will not spare any that remain in Babylon.

The heart to understand is referenced in verse 22. The watchmen do not lead this - at least not initially. "I the Lord require the hearts of the children of men." How has this scripture been used as a justification to pay thing. YOU are being tithed. YOU. And the heart is the sifting measurement. This is happening right ... now. You are being tithed by the Lord ... right now. The proud will remain in Babylon, fearing man and his shame more than the Lord's. This is the tithing of people. If the Lord uses laws of mathematical truths to predict numbers, then we can expect about a tenth - or even a tenth of a tenth to return to the Lord while the ninety percent are collected by Babylon. Consider this very truth is demonstrated in the parable of the ten lepers. All all healed yet only one returns to the Lord while the rest go to the corrupt Priests.
