Behold there are save two churches only

James Tissot, The Prophecy of the Destruction of the Temple

From the Book of Mormon, 1 Nephi 14:9-12:

And it came to pass that [the angel] said unto me: Look, and behold that great and abominable church, which is the mother of abominations, whose founder is the devil.

And he said unto me: Behold there are save two churches only; the one is the church of the Lamb of God, and the other is the church of the devil; wherefore, whoso belongeth not to the church of the Lamb of God belongeth to that great church, which is the mother of abominations; and she is the whore of all the earth.

And it came to pass that I looked and beheld the whore of all the earth, and she sat upon many waters; and she had dominion over all the earth, among all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people.

And it came to pass that I beheld the church of the Lamb of God, and its numbers were few, because of the wickedness and abominations of the whore who sat upon many waters; nevertheless, I beheld that the church of the Lamb, who were the saints of God, were also upon all the face of the earth; and their dominions upon the face of the earth were small, because of the wickedness of the great whore whom I saw.

Two churches only. Here's one of them, represented by its president, Harold B. Lee, speaking in 1972:

I want to warn this great body of priesthood against that great sin of Sodom and Gomorrah, which has been labeled as a sin second only in seriousness to the sin of murder. I speak of the sin of adultery, which, as you know, was the name used by the Master as he referred to unlicensed sexual sins of fornication as well as adultery; and besides this, the equally grievous sin of homosexuality, which seems to be gaining momentum with social acceptance in the Babylon of the world, of which Church members must not be a part.

While we are in the world, we must not be of the world. Any attempts being made by the schools or places of entertainment to flaunt sexual perversions, which can do nothing but excite to experimentation, must find among the priesthood in this church a vigorous and unrelenting defense through every lawful means that can be employed.

The common judges of Israel, our bishops and stake presidents, must not stand by and fail to apply disciplinary measures within their jurisdiction, as set forth plainly in the laws of the Lord and procedures as set forth in plain and simple instructions that cannot be misunderstood. Never must we allow supposed mercy to the unrepentant sinner to rob the justice upon which true repentance from sinful practices is predicated.

And here, in the Current Year, is the other:

Here's their official statement:

The doctrine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints related to marriage between a man and a woman is well known and will remain unchanged.

We are grateful for the continuing efforts of those who work to ensure the Respect for Marriage Act includes appropriate religious freedom protections while respecting the law and preserving the rights of our LGBTQ brothers and sisters.

We believe this approach is the way forward. As we work together to preserve the principles and practices of religious freedom together with the rights of LGBTQ individuals, much can be accomplished to heal relationships and foster greater understanding.

I guess I shouldn't be shocked. They already support the sexual mutilation of children; what's left to be shocked by? It still feels unreal, though. I never would have dreamed even a few years ago that this day would come, and it's hard to express the revulsion I feel. Whore really is the mot juste.

Oh no - not again... But this time Marriage, of all things!

I am still stunned at the rapid and accelerating speed of corruption in the CJCLDS.

But what is to stop it? Are any of the genuinely devout Mormon laity saying or doing *anything* against this stuff?

That old joke is proving to be horribly true; the one that goes something like.

"The Roman Catholics all say their Pope is infallible - but they don't Really believe it. The Mormons all say their Prophet is fallible - but they don't Really believe it."

William,

On your recent Magician's Table blog post titled: Oh, no, does this mean the "standing prophecies" continue beyond 2021? , please do read my perspective about Obama
and his symbolic role in the Great Reset.
Keep in mind, America was an Alchemical Experiment. E. Pluribus Unum

A few hours ago, BEFORE I read this recent post, a thought occurred to me which is this;
Why would Obama be used symbolically as the philosopher's stone, the End of the American Empire.
"Wouldn't Obama be symbolic of the Nigredo ( the Blackening, Melanosis) Alchemical Transformation? The Nigredo is the first step, not the last .

And it was then it occurred to me. Obama is multiracial not Black.

I believe Obama is being used as our Opponents (who are Alchemist)
symbolic Rainbow also called The Peacock Stage of alchemy.

As mentioned, this thought came to me BEFORE I read this post, and it's interesting
the connection (IMO) to this recent event in the Mormon Church.

Here's are two Copy and paste from 3 different blogs about the Peacock ( Links below )

"In alchemical writings, certain symbols, including humans, birds, and animals, stand in for particular stages of the alchemy process. The peacock, with its colorful feathers, serves as a metaphor for the phase when the greasy black contents of the alembic suddenly turn iridescent in the flask, producing a rainbow of colors like the shimmering reflection of light in an oil slick. It is known as the peacock stage, or the chemical rainbow".


I also found this information(below) about the Whitening Stage interesting.
Note how this information connects with Obama's recent 'return to the White House on Sept 7 2022 ( a day before Queen Elizabeth's "death").

If you recall Sept 7 was the day Obama and Michelle unveiled their White House portraits.
Obama's portrait background is entirely White, which sparked many critical responses.
Was the white background symbolic of the Void perhaps? Perhaps symbolizing All and None?


THE WHITENING STAGE ( link below )
(h)
From this the washing (ablutio, baptisma) either leads direct to the whitening (albedo), or else the soul (anima) released at the “death” is reunited with the dead body and brings about its resurrection, or finally the “many colours” (omnes colores), or “peacock's tail” (cauda pavonis), lead to the one white colour that contains all colours CW12 ¶ 334
~~~~~~~~

Also in the above copy and paste about The Whitening Stage , note this:
The red and the white are King and Queen, who may also celebrate their “chymical nuptials” at this stage
(i)
****Crowned hermaphrodite***** representing the union of king and queen
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Hmmmmm...Hermaphrodite?
Again, please do read my previous post and perspective about Obama being the Alchemical
High Priestess in your Tarot reading.
The Singularity.

I don't think of all this happening at this time is a coincidence.


Everything is connected.

all IMHO, of course

This suggests that IF the CJCLDS GAs believe that this bill will protect the church from prosecution - they are almost certainly mistaken:

https://creativeminorityreport.com/blog/2022/11/17/senator-warns-religious-liberty-protections-in-same-sex-marriage-bill-are-severely-anemic/

Alternatively, they may already know this; and have supported the bill precisely so that they will soon be 'forced' to recognize SSM.

Why? - because this is a common managerial strategy, when managers want to do something that the workforce/ laity are likely to object to.

This kind of thing provides a legalistic reason or excuse to the rank-and-file active Mormons that 'we must do' something hat they already want to do, the need to change what they already covertly desire to change.

William,

2 Parts

Part 1

I just found this excellent post about the Peacock.
Although the author of this blog expresses her personal perspective about the Peacock, she/he does however make reference to other sources as to what she based her perspective on.

Do Note in this post the reference to the dark winter, which is what Biden has 'predicted' for America (see link below)

Also an interesting connection about winters is made by Strauss and Howe's 1998 book, The Fourth Turning which I believe Strauss and Howe's work(especially regarding winters) mirrors Pluto in Capricorn (which Pluto went into Capricorn in 2008).
Very interesting information about Pluto in Capricorn ( link below )

Also, below I've added a couple of copy and paste paragraphs about the Peacock from the symbolreader blog.

I added the asterisks to the wording to emphasize what I believe to be a connection to my recent posts about Obama.

Here are the copy and paste paragraphs:
"In Mysterium Coniunctionis, C.G. Jung stated that ******the peacock stands for the unity of “all colors (i.e., the integration of all qualities).“*******


"In Christianity, the peacock was likewise considered a bird of *******resurrection*****, a conviction which stemmed from the Aristotelian notion that the flesh of the peacock never putrifies."

"Gerhard Dorn, another alchemist quoted by Jung, explicated the succession of alchemical stages of the opus in relation to colours and associated animal symbolism: “the ‘dead spiritual body‘ is ‘*****the bird without wings.*****

‘ It ‘changes into the raven’s head and finally into the peacock’s tail, after which it attains the ******whitest***** plumage of the swan and, last of all, to the highest redness, the sign of its fiery nature.‘

This plainly alludes to the ******* phoenix, which, like the peacock, plays a considerable role in alchemy as a symbol of renewal and resurrection,****** and more especially as a synonym for the lapis.

*****At winter solstice*****, peaceful, regenerative darkness slowly gives way to the life-giving radiance of the sun. With the ******* break of dawn****, the alchemical period of *****nigredo (blackness) gradually and in stages gives way to a splendid display of the peacock’s tail.


Interestingly, as can be read on an excellent website dedicated to constellations (http://www.constellationsofwords.com/Constellations/Pavo.html), the words “peacock” and “paean,” i.e. ‘a hymn, a song joy and triumph’ are related. Other cognates of the peacock (pavo in Latin) are ‘pavor’ (****dread which strikes the heart****) and ******‘pave,’ as in “pave the way.”******

William,

Part 2

Also, the reference to break of dawn.
Wasn't Crowley connected to the Hermitic Order of the Golden Dawn? Isn't Lucifer known
as the Light Bringer?

Also,
Michael Jackson's song :Break of Dawn' comes to mind.

Also interesting the reference : "the bird without wings", given the recent
aviation mishaps, including Biden stumbling UP Air Force One.


Also this very intriguing information about Pavo! (see links)
What's intriguing in this article is that there is reference and connection
of the Latin word Pavo to the word Poppy, which I've had a recent interesting sync with the flower Poppy.

Also from the article:
"Pavo represents the male peacock (pavo cristatus; crested pavo), a male peafowl of the pheasant family."
~~~~~
What's odd is I had a dream about a pheasant several years ago, which I recall being very curious at the time of the dream as
to why I'd have a dream about a pheasant.

Strange that just a few weeks ago I was reminded of the pheasant dream as Marshall and I were out driving on a country road and out of the blue a pheasant appeared!!
We drive these country roads quite a bit during the years and I don't recall ever seeing a pheasant.

The Pavo information is extremely intriguing. Do check it out if you get a chance.
I just found all of this information today because of my intrigue with the Peacock connection to Alchemy and Obama.

@Debbie

Thanks for all the comments. I've read them all but have nothing to add so far.

@Bruce

The GAs are all really old, and this isn't their first rodeo. I don't think they would be so naive as to trust the supposed protections for "religious liberty." More likely, as you say, they covertly want to be "forced" to do something unpopular.

William,

I clicked on the Constellation of Words link that I posted in my previous
comment about Pavo, and for some reason my previous link didn't open,
so I re-posted the link (below )
