Dispensationalism and the Restoration: How the Book of Mormon Prepares Us for Christ’s Second Coming

Doctrine and Covenants Section 1 introduces the Restoration as a divine response to a world in spiritual disarray. It’s a bold declaration of God’s work to reestablish Christ’s eternal truths. The Book of Mormon stands at the center of this effort, fulfilling ancient prophecies and preparing hearts for Christ’s return. Through the Prophet Joseph Smith, the Lord restored gospel principles that had���

Hokland askblog post #7: what have you found out about your partner during your relationship?

Askblog tag: #nmoroder hokland ask Please see pinned blog post before asking questions!

final askblog post of 2024, it's been a good run. i don't even want to count how many pages i did this year. as for this post, the thing about Hokma's heart is of course a headcanon, coming from the fact that Sephirot only had their brains left from the human bodies, no hearts. it's just he's the only one dramatic enough to ask for removing

"The LORD restored his (Job’s) fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before."

(Job 42: 10)

- God has the ability to restore what has been lost – it’s called Divine Restoration.

- When God restores it is usually more than we had before.

- Job may have almost lost hope, but God’s timing was perfect.

- So don’t be discouraged, God will transform things and bring blessings.

PRAYER: Lord, thank You that You are the One Who can come and put me back on my feet again. You can change and transform things so that what looks hopeless will be an example of Your ability and of Your restoring power in the lives of Your children. In Jesus' name, Amen.

—Pastor Andrew Roebert

so like a month ago i said this and like. i’ve never been so fucking right.

Anne remembered that Miss Cornelia had given her a very different impression of Leslie’s mother. But had not love the truer vision?

NO, Anne, for heaven’s sake, no. Even taking into account Miss Cornelia’s bias, there is no way Rose West comes out of this story as anything but the villain of the piece. Even in other versions of this story as told in short stories (i.e, Only a Common Fellow, Four Winds), it’s never a mother who sells her daughter into sexual slavery so she can stay in her house. There’s no way to paint that as anything less than horrific.

Still, it *was* selfish of Rose West to make her daughter marry Dick Moore.

I’m glad you can at least admit that much, Anne! I do love your desire to think the best of people (as shown even in your younger years in your attempt to defend the women who raised you prior to Green Gables as meaning to be kind), but there are limits.

It’s amazing to me how I could read Anne’s House of Dreams as a kid and recognize the inherent tragedy of Leslie’s story without in the least understanding its implications, and then read it as an adult and realize that Rose West made her daughter marry an abusive r@pist so that she wouldn’t have to get kicked out of her house—granted Leslie claims that Rose never knew how bad Dick was, it’s still appalling.

(As a kid it was the bit about Kenneth that hit me the hardest, especially Leslie having seen his face as he was killed and never being able to forget it. I wonder if naming her own son Kenneth was an attempt to replace the old horror of that with new memories?)

Obsessed with how Mina makes the crucial choice and starts transcribing the first chapters of Dracula exactly 1 month after the Harker wedding day.

*gasps* What? She does? Oh, wow, she does, that's. That makes me feel things. I have nothing at all coherent to say about it, but. Yeah. I love that.

pure vanilla cookie analysis- major CRK spoilers ahead!!

it must be so wild to find out that the power you earnt, the ability bestowed upon you for being pure and worthy, is nothing more than a fraction of everything you fight against. to watch the light of freedom be corrupted by the realisation your kind aren't meant to live, and see what should encourage peace be warped into a motive for destruction. to know that the devastation sent through the land is because you couldn't uphold your promise of keeping it all from going too far. to wait for the night of the crescent moon and attempt to fix it all, only to wind up with nothing more than a curse instead and nobody to blame but yourself. to be attacked in your homeland, to watch a war break out that you know is your fault, and to have the only way to stop it be to sacrifice your own power, the power you've used to bring together your world. to have it all taken away of your own volition in what should have been a final fight, to attempt to banish yourself and the one you love most for the good of all, to send away your people and your kingdom and everything you know. to try to isolate yourself for an eternity in a final, desperate act of sacrifice even though you know you cannot die. to expect that to be the end, only to go down in history as a legend and wander alone years later with no memory of your past and the last remnants of your soul appearing through your dreams. to wonder how you came to be, how you're still alive, then to remember it all and regain an identity that has lost its allure to your failures.

to be reminded of your mistakes by the harbingers of all that you oppose, to be easily incapacitated by reminders of how little purity you have left. to set out to reunite with others of your stature, your friends, to find those who share a common goal of protection, and find out just how deeply this power has corrupted their lives. to regain your strength and watch as the person who used to be your closest friend repeatedly pushes you away, insistent that you are but an obstacle she needs to be rid of, to find that same friend's soul split in two. to be a healer, to have the designated role of repairing and cleansing, only to struggle for a solution that will fix wounds that seem far too deep to close. to cause damage and harm and devastation despite wanting anything but, and see those who stayed steadfastly, fatally loyal to you fall at the hands of a monster you crafted. to search for the truth because you are the truth, you have been since you faced the trials and passed, and now it's up to you to find a way to fix this.

to learn that more of your own soul could be used to bring part of a loved, corrupted hero you have missed more than anything back, and to offer it up without hesitation regardless of the impact it could have on yourself. to be denied further sacrifice and see her return, only for her to push you away even now, desiring solitude rather than the solidarity you have been craving for years and years and years. to discover that your power is not your own, that it once belonged to another, that it was salvaged from corruption and destruction and illusions. to encompass light and purity and selflessness and leadership and truth, only to find out that you are nothing more than hastily purified deceit. to be selected as the one to stop the chaos and hatred, to have the fate of the world rest on your decisions.

to see the original wielder of your power be released and know that all you have is the result of another's descent into darkness. to see that your predecessor is a cookie and a beast all at once, to know that they are infinitely stronger than you and back in your world, among those you love. to be the parallel to a monster, the immovable object to an unstoppable force, to reflect deceit with a light of truth you can no longer truly trust. to discover your values are not inherently good, that they are born of the aftermath of evil, that you are simply a tiny fragment of unimaginable power where you used to be considered one of the strongest beings in existence. to see the cycle repeat in the one you care for most, and watch her blame herself for the horrors that have passed and the horrors to come, and wish you had prevented all of this while you still could. to see that your life is built on a throne of lies, and face off against a puppetmaster who shows undeniable, damning similarities to yourself, even down to his appearance. to be alone and yet not, to have power and know it has been corrupted before, to see what you have the potential to become if ever your soul begins to regress. to have back half of what you have so dearly missed, but at what cost? to know you must defend, must remain good, and try not to fall as the weight of your entire world settles heavily on your shoulders, because you are a protector, a ruler, a symbol, a hero, a healer, an embodiment of knowledge and greatness and power and truth, even as the very foundation of all you thought you knew continues to crumble bit by bit. wild.

the hood in manhood refers of course to the foreskin or clitoral hood. in the case of men without one either by circumcision or other circumstances, the manhood chakra is transferred to the taint, a noble vice-president to the "first manhood" president-elect. this has been your biology lesson for the day

Very insightful! The foreskin boys stay stacking hundreds. #restoration #nuskin #nuskinnewyear

"You are more than the filth that covers you, More than the sin that fills you, Much more than the choices you make; For I see your beauty, I know your heart And the love which you have for Me.

Behold, I know you as you are and will be, with Me where I am.

You are not that which you choose in a moment of weakness; You are that which I have created, and will become That which I restore, and will remain always A beautiful, finished work, elect and precious, My everlasting treasure, even as I shall be yours also.

For I know My own, says The Lord."
