President Spencer W. Kimball received a revelation to approve the sealing of an MTF trans woman to her husband in the Washington DC Temple in 1980. The sealing was performed by a Elder Hugh W. Pinnock of the Seventy.

Dr. Gregory Prince wrote about it on the blog By Common Consent (BCC) in Nov 2015.

In January 2016, a blogger wrote about the BCC post. In the comments section, a person identifying as Ann wrote to say that she is the person who was sealed. She provides some detail, including the date of the sealing and the name of the Seventy who performed the marriage.

Unfortunately, I don't know an official Church source for this, so I don't know how much it will matter to your family.

It’s important to understand that Dr. Prince is credible because it’s his eye-witness account that we have about a trans woman being sealed to a man in the temple.

Dr. Gregory Prince has a PhD and his career was in the prevention and treatment of pediatric infectious diseases. 

He took the research skills in the medical field, combined it with his interest in history, and wrote several books on religious history and theology:

Having Authority: The Origins and Development of Priesthood During the Ministry of Joseph Smith (1993) 

Power from On High: The Development of Mormon Priesthood (1995)

David O. McKay and the Rise of Modern Mormonism (2005) 

Leonard Arrington and the Writing of Mormon History (2016)

Gay Rights and the Mormon Church: Intended Actions, Unintended Consequences (2019) 

He was also interviewed as part of the 2007 PBS documentary The Mormons

This woman was sealed to her husband. So either she's gonna be a woman in the eternities, or if not then this is a same-sex sealing. It's an interesting example of how we could expand our use of the sealing power if we chose to

So my dad posted an infuriating article on facebook...

Here's the link: https://www.thechurchnews.com/leaders-and-ministry/2019-01-22/what-to-do-with-your-questions-according-to-1-general-authority-whos-an-expert-on-anti-church-materials-48843

After reading this absolute garbage, I was so infuriated that in the height of pettiness I decided to write a 3 page rebuttal essay. Then I realized that as much as I want to stir shit with the Mormons, I don't actually want my dad to disown me. So I'm gonna post it here instead of on my dad's facebook. It's extremely rough and overwritten, but since I have no plans to revise it I'm just gonna let it into the wild. There are a few paragraphs where the wording is too poor to convince real diehards, but it should be convincing enough for my fellow exmos at least! LONG POST AHEAD

Valerie Johnson’s piece, “What to do with your questions”, covers LDS leader Elder Corbridge’s visit to a BYU campus and outlines his response to concerns many members of the church have about unsavory parts of its history and current practices. It’s an effective piece of LDS propaganda: a piece of media that obscures or inflates the truth in order to advance the beliefs of an organization. As we’ll see below, not only does the piece fail to address the valid concerns of many latter-day saints, but it also uses familiar techniques to undermine the importance of those concerns in the first place. The following outlines both the inaccuracies in Corbridge’s arguments and the subtle ways in which the article discourages LDS readers from thinking critically about the issues at hand.

Let’s start with the first question in the article. “The kingdom of God is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as described in the book of Daniel as standing forever. The question is, will you and I stand?” Corbridge/Johnson asks. While claims about the longevity of “God’s kingdom” are unprovable, it’s evident to any non-church-funded source that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, at least, is dwindling. Church sources commonly claim that membership numbers are increasing, because they count all individuals who have been baptized but not ex-communicated. On the other hand, counting only active, financially-contributing members reveals that membership is declining sharply. Teens and adults who were raised in the church are leaving at a higher rate than ever. A large portion of the membership inflation reported by the church consists of individuals converted by missionaries as adults, who are counted as members until death although they often stop attending within a year.

From there, Johnson moves on to claim that attacks on the church are broad, including church doctrine that conflicts with “shifting attitudes of today”. This is a common phrase in LDS writing, used to encourage but not specifically state the idea that church doctrine, unlike the rest of the world’s social values, is permanent and unchanging. This is untrue, as many church teachings have changed with time, often shifting to become more in line with North American social norms. A famous and relatively recent example, alluded to in Johnson’s article, is the fact that black men were not allowed to receive the priesthood until 1978. Though there have been many apologetic explanations for this overdue change in doctrine, it’s hard to ignore the fact that its introduction coincided with a government warning that the church would only be able to keep its tax-free status if it got rid of its racist policies. With this and other examples, it’s clear that the church does have a historical precedent to alter teachings in order to keep up with society’s “shifting attitudes.” However, the way it’s phrased in the article contributes to the subconscious idea among many church members that society is at fault for becoming more progressive, not the church for its inability to keep up.

Changing church policy, a history of immoral doctrine, and dwindling membership statistics are only a few of the concerns plaguing modern Mormons. Corbridge and Johnson attempt to address this huge umbrella of issues with a simple response: “Answer the primary questions.” According to Corbridge, these fundamental questions about the church include: “Is there a God who is our Father? Is Jesus Christ the Son of God and the Savior of the World? Is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints the kingdom of God on the earth? Was Joseph Smith a prophet?”

The first three questions refer to the existence God, which is unprovable, and the role of Jesus Christ, a distant historical figure whose true actions in life are hard to discern. In contrast, the last question refers to Joseph Smith, a man who lived in America in the 1800s, whose life is well documented and researched. Was he, as Corbridge asks, a prophet? Researching his life, the answer is clear: hopefully not.

There’s a well of damning evidence on Joseph Smith available with some quick research. He scammed people with his treasure-hunting business, was often jailed for his crimes, and even killed others during his escape attempts. Although the church tried to cover it up for years, he is most well known for his polygamy: by the time he died in 1844, he was married to at least 27 women. The youngest of these, Helen Mar Kimball, was 14 years old. Joseph Smith was 37, which makes him a pedophile on all counts – even in 1843, when they were married, the average marriage age for women was between 20 and 22. If such a man was chosen as a prophet of God, we should question what type of God would choose him, and what type of church would follow his teachings. The church itself has not addressed these concerns, sweeping them under the rug as “lies and deception”, despite multiple sources proving their accuracy. Predictably, Johnson and Corbridge do not mention anything else about Joseph Smith in the article.

Corbridge then moves on to what he calls the “secondary questions,” which Johnson broadly generalizes as “questions about Church history, polygamy, black people and women and the priesthood, how the Book of Mormon was translated, DNA and the Book of Mormon, gay marriage, different accounts of the First Vision and so on,” not going into specifics on any of these topics. Corbridge follows this up with the most bizarre claim in the entire article: “If you answer the primary questions, the secondary questions get answered too or they pale in significance and you can deal with things you understand and things you don’t understand, things you agree with and things you don’t agree with without jumping ship.”

There’s a lot to get into with this statement. Firstly, the article attempts to trivialize many valid concerns about the church. For example, “Gay marriage” is used as a buzzword to cover an array of questions about the church and the LGBT+ community such as why same-sex couples aren’t allowed to be married in the church, if it’s possible for LGB members to be happy even though they’re forced to be celibate, if trans and gender non-conforming individuals are allowed to present their true identity and be fully accepted into the congregation, why children of LGB parents aren’t allowed to be baptized into the church without cutting contact with their family, and so on. These topics are trivialized by presenting them so broadly and following them up with the statement that they “pale in importance” to the primary questions. This is not the case for the LGBT+ individuals in question, or other individuals whose happiness is directly affected by any of the issues mentioned.

Secondly, the idea that some of these secondary questions are also answered by the primary questions is a bold and frankly false statement. Knowing the “correct” answers to the primary questions does nothing to answer the far more nuanced subjects of the secondary questions. A devout Mormon who firmly believes in God and knows that Joseph Smith is a prophet can still easily have questions about why God wouldn’t allow women to hold the priesthood, or how the Book of Mormon can be a historically accurate account of pre-colonial America when DNA evidence proves otherwise. It’s clear that most of these questions fall into Corbridge’s “pale in importance” category, which minimizes the real struggles that even faithful members can experience in the church.

The last part of this statement is the most telling to Corbridge’s, and more broadly the church’s response to criticism and questioning members. He says that it’s important members deal with these controversial subjects, with “things you understand and things you don’t understand, things you agree with and things you don’t agree with, without jumping ship.” According to Corbridge, Mormons should stay active in the church if they believe in the “primary questions”, even if they have doubts about the “secondary questions.” Historically, many religious groups have been formed by those who share the same primary beliefs as another sect – belief in God and Jesus Christ, for example – but differ on how the church should be run or the details about God’s doctrine. There is even history within the Mormon faith of separate factions who have split off from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints based on their different answers to the “secondary questions”, even though they share belief in God, Jesus Christ, and Joseph Smith with the mainstream branch of LDS faith. It doesn’t make sense for LDS members who disagree with or don’t understand controversial church doctrine to remain members, even if they believe in God, Jesus Christ, or Joseph Smith, as they can seek out other denominations that are more in line with their personal beliefs. Remaining in the church is not beneficial to their spiritual well-being or happiness. Non-believing or disillusioned members can create disharmony within the church, so it isn’t good for the health and harmony of a congregation for leaders like Corbridge to encourage those members to stay. What it is good for, though, is the church’s finances, since LDS members who want to access all the benefits of Mormonism must pay 10% of their income to the church. Therefore, it’s unsurprising that the purpose of this article is to suggest doubting members ignore their concerns and stay active, tithe-paying members.

Johnson’s section on the methods of learning is familiar to anyone experienced with religious anti-science rhetoric. Though it references the scientific method and “analytical learning” (research), those mentions are meaningless as Corbridge states “the divine method of learning ultimately trumps everything else by tapping into the powers of heaven.” This is echoed often in fundamentalist religious writing, and means that whenever scientific evidence, academic research, or social values clash with religious beliefs, believers are to ignore the facts and trust “God”, or the teachings of their church. It’s a way to shut down logical arguments from doubters or non-believers without having to think critically about church doctrine and has been discussed at length in other writing.

A somewhat amusing and unique addition to this article is the concept of “academic learning” as separate from scientific or analytical. The idea that simply reading a text can provide the reader with truth without the “analytical” step of fact-checking and resource gathering is false. After all, anyone can write a piece (such as Johnson’s) and fill it with lies. Without multiple opinions and validations, a text on its own has no truth value.

The final two sections of “What to do with your questions” move away from laughable pseudo-academic claims and give us insight into the far more insidious psychological methods the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and other religious groups use to keep their members in order. The first section is entitled “The Presence or Absence of the Holy Ghost.” Generally, most LDS members and leaders assume the “presence of the Holy Ghost” to mean a happy, warm, and comfortable feeling. This type of feeling commonly occurs in familiar, safe settings such as churches and homes. Corbridge goes on to state that “the gloom I experienced as I listened to the dark choir of voices raised against the Prophet Joseph Smith and the Restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ… is the absence of the Spirit of God.” In other words, if members who read about controversial church history and practices feel bad or uncomfortable while doing so, it must mean these claims are false.

The truth is that anyone who learns about information that radically disrupts their current worldview will be uncomfortable. In the case of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, leaders have so effectively hidden parts of its history from its members and lied about doing so that the discovery of things like Joseph Smith’s history of polygamy and multiple accounts of the First Vision can be shocking and upsetting. Issues dealing with the happiness of LGBT+, women, and black members of the church make many members feel guilty and sad, as they feel empathy for those who have been wronged by the church’s present or past teachings. By equating the natural and understandable feelings of sadness, guilt, and discomfort with the absence of the spirit and therefore falsehood, Corbridge convinces questioning members that they should bury those feelings and ignore their questions. This is not an acceptable way to address controversial church topics, nor is it healthy to encourage members to suppress their emotions.

The final section of the article, “Elimination”, is the final nail in the coffin telling LDS members to keep their doubts private and unanswered. Corbridge reiterates that he and God can’t answer all the member’s doubts – obvious, since he and Johnson have done nothing to address any concerns in this article – and that those who truly answer the “primary questions” will not even need answers to their further questions. This effectively combines the church’s policy of repression and communal guilt: if you are bothered by unsavory aspects of the church’s doctrine, you probably don’t believe in God or Joseph Smith. LDS doctrine already encourages a heavy amount of personal guilt for members who don’t feel they are perfectly living up to the church’s expectations, but if they voice their concerns, they now face the shame of their peers. Nobody in a faith setting wants to be known as the unfaithful member, and Corbridge’s statement is clear: if you want to be respected by your religious peers, keep those questions in.

Mormons vs. Jehovah’s Witnesses Part 01 // Priestly class and leadership

This post series is based on a fascinating discussion I had with  @markruscianism​ on the topic of “Thought Crime” (see the original posts here and here). Turned out they were baptized Mormon and in one of their replies shared a lot of information on the LDS church and how it is structured and organized.

Since I didn't know too much about Mormonism, I thought I'll compare what they wrote to Jehovah's Witness doctrine and practices and share some insight on how the Watchtower Bible And Tract Society does things.

I don’t want to leave anything out but also don’t want to flood the dashes with post even longer than my usual texts, so I split it up into smaller parts. Here’s part one.

Markcruscianism wrote: "For reference, I was a baptized Mormon for a period in late teens/early twenties. I never agreed fully with all of their teachings, and always disliked the intellectual climate. The establishment of a “priestly class” (used here loosely) can cause a lot of problems. The LDS (Mormon) church tried to escape this with their structure of teachers and Bishops, but in the end, they just ended up moving the “priestly class” further up the hierarchy, even more inaccessible and unaccountable than a local Bishop would have been. (...) Mormons consider most of the men who give (...) talks to be Prophets"

My reply: I was never baptized Jehovah’s Witness. But I was born into this religion and was part of this organization during all my childhood and teenage years. I faded away in my early twenties. I was an unbaptized publisher and part of the (now discontinued) “Theocratic Ministry School”. I never really conformed with all JW teachings, but as a believer I hated myself for not doing so. Which eventually - after about 15 years after I left - made me re-evaluate my religious upbringing. I fully agree: Putting human beings in charge of spiritual matters can become problematic. Jehovah's Witnesses claim to not have any sort of human leadership (or priests for that matter). A claim that is  - mildly speaking - questionable. Actually, it's a lie. At least when JWs use it as a way to set the Society apart from other religious organizations.

JWs are organized hierarchical. At the time of writing, the leading figures are/is the so called "Governing Body", which consists of eight members - all men. They make all the decisions concerning the organization. In 1943 the GB was announced as the "legal governing body" of anointed Jehovah's Witnesses, but its real function was somehow undefined, because until January 1976, it was the president of the Watchtower Bible And Tract Society who had complete control of doctrines, publications and activities. More on that to be found here. On a lower level there are branch-overseers, circuit-overseers, elders ("congregation overseers"), Ministerial Servants (assistants of the elders), publishers (baptized JWs), and unbaptized publishers. None of them have any influence on anything the Society decides. Overseers and elders are “the sheperds”.

The publishers are divided into two groups: regular publishers and pioneers. Pioneers are publishers, who are held in high esteem. They make a living on their own but somehow manage to do a lot more "field service" than the "usual JW". To my knowledge there are no written rules but regular publishers are expected to do around 10 hours of field service per month. Pioneers around a 100 hours per month. All the branch- and circuit-overseers are employees of the Watchtower Society and are full-time traveling Witnesses who visit congregations and give talks and ... well... do their overseer work. They are - sort of - “mega-elders”, directly in contact with the JW headquarters or branch-offices. Those JWs who work in the headquarter, or one of the branches, are called Bethelites because they work in the “Bethel” (the name of the headquarter). I don't know if they are required to be pioneers. But basically they are regular baptized JWs who "just" work for the Society. But because they work in the Bethel they are also held in high esteem. Some fascinating insight on Bethel work in Ray Franz' book "Crisis of conscience", in which he shares a lot of information based on his status of being a member of the Governing Body before he left. Also very interesting info in Barbara Anderson's book "Witness to deceit". Barbara Anderson used to work as a researcher for the writing department, and has lots of insight to share. 

Until late 2012, the Governing Body described itself as the representative and "spokesman" for God's "faithful and discreet slave class", a class of 144.000 allegedly “anointed by God” Witnesses (who have “heavenly calling”), and who are - according to 1972, April 1st Watchtower magazine, "the modern-day “prophet”, the spirit-begotten, anointed ones who are the nucleus of Jehovah’s Witnesses today" and who - according to the 1986, May 15th WT - claim to be the "channel for new spiritual light". Interestingly enough, the Governing Body is the only group of people, who formulates policy and doctrines or approves material for publications and conventions but the majority of so called “anointed Witnesses” have no authority to contribute to the development or change of doctrines. They are not consulted, but even instructed to "stay modest" and not "wildly speculating about things that are still unclear" (1997, June 1st WT). Basically, anointed JWs who are not part of the Governing Body are just regular JWs, who don’t even have the status like a typical elder or Ministerial Servant. Just as every other JW, they have to accept whatever the WT tells them to do, say, and believe. Also interesting that there are indeed women among the anointed. But throughout JW history none of these so called anointed women was ever part of the Governing Body. How does an anointed JW know that they are indeed one of the "chosen ones"? They just know. That is the explanation. The Watchtower warned that not everyone who claims to be anointed is indeed anointed and admits that they do not know how many of the 144.000 anointed are still on earth. As mentioned, in 2012 the Watchtower changed its doctrine again, and declared the "Governing Body" to be the "faithful and discreet slave". So they do not claim to be the "spokesman" of a class that is said to be God's channel anymore, but to BE this channel. A huge but actually merely technical change because "the anointed" who were not part of the Governing Body never were involved in development or change of doctrine anyway, but nevertheless this change put much more spotlight on "the eight men". How to become part of the Governing Body? They appoint and invite people. Sometimes these were family members. Like Ray Franz who was Fred Franz’ nephew. So there are eight men who decide everything and claim they have direct connection to God, eight men who - by democratic vote - decide what will be done or not be done (Ray Franz, a former Governing Body member describes this quite interestingly in his book "Crisis of conscience"). Where's the difference to other religions that have priests and popes, and whatnot, who also claim to directly get God's instructions? Why are those religions with human leadership and JWs are not? Needless to say that none of the leading figures (from Ministerial Servant up to member of the Governing Body) has any sort of credentials, specific education or training, or any sort of scholarship other than that they know JW doctrine. So - if we want to put it this way - the better you can parrot JW teaching and the more time and effort you put into organizational work, the better your chances are to climb the JW hierarchical ladder. (Only if you’re a man of course). Being a JW is not about discussing the Bible (or “theology” for that matter), it’s not about growing and evolving. It’s about accepting what the leadership tells you and to parrot that. But more on that in future posts.

In the next part: Bible study and Supplemental material

[a-wondrous-thing]

Ayyye so what IS the relationship between Cristians and Mormons? I thought they were completely different religions? (I’m not religious at all so I’m clueless on the topic)

hey-o friend-o, thanks for asking (i’m really glad people actually care about this stuff)!

So, first thing, while “Mormons” is a commonly used term for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the full name of the church is preferred by members/the church, and I’ll go ahead and use the acronym LDS for the rest of this.

(disclaimer: not a professional on the topic. i’m not even a religious studies major)

sO here’s the hot non-tea or coffee beverage

as a general rule (get to that in a sec), Christians are people who believe in Christ and His teachings. Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Protestant churches are considered Christian, as well as many other subsets, offshoots, and such. If they believe in Christ, they’re generally considered Christian. There are many types of religion in the world - Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Sikhism, Judaism and Jainism (plus some others), as well as Christianity. Christianity is separate from Judaism and Islam (which are separate from each other as well), despite sharing certain ties to Biblical events.

Following this, the LDS church (which has...the name...Church of Jesus Christ right in the title...) is Christian.

But there’s this thing called gatekeeping that’s a bit of a ... fun topic. 

Basically, certain churches make their own definition of what a Christian church consists of and say “Hey, you’re not Christian because we said X.”

Meanwhile....LDS members are here like...we believe in the Bible. And Christ. And His teachings... and yet other Christian churches gatekeep and say “nope. you don’t fit this specific criteria that we say you have to fit to be Christian”

And we (members) just kinda go...sure Jan. And keep living our Christian lives.

(I really don’t mean this to be contentious in any way, i’m just simplifying it down to what i see as the basic argument, and remember, not an expert)

There are lots of reasons other churches say the LDS church and its teachings aren’t Christian, here’s some:

we don’t accept the changes of post New Testament Christianity

we aren’t connected to a Roman Catholic/Eastern Orthodox/Protestant base

we have an expanded canon and believe in continuous revelation

First, we follow the teachings of like...the actual original Church that Christ established when He was serving his mortal ministry. But other churches follow the stuff that came about after He left His church in the hands of His apostles and people started to change the truths (doctrine) He and His apostles taught. So... yeah, that’s another whole topic, but basically the Greeks took Christianity and said this is how it is and that’s how you get most of modern Christianity. 

The LDS church was established in 1830, and is independent of any other churches, (though there are a lot of similarities in belief, o course), and we believe that the Priesthood authority, (which was previously taken from the earth) was restored to Joseph Smith, a modern day prophet. We’re not an offshoot of any other church’s line of Priesthood Authority.

And with that last one... yeah! We believe that there is a prophet on the earth today (President Russel M. Nelson), and that he receives revelation from God for the church. We also believe that everyone can receive personal revelation from God. We have canon outside of the Bible - The Book of Mormon being one, as well as the Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price. 

(If anyone wants to hear about the Book of Mormon or any other books, lemmie know cuz that’s also a really good topic and dear to my heart)

So, I guess form your own opinions, but I, as well as the church, affirm that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a Christian church, built on the teachings, ministry, life of, and belief in Jesus Christ. 

I love the gospel, and love my Savior, Jesus Christ. I believe in the Book of Mormon, as well as the Bible (as far as it is translated correctly), and I can testify of its truthfulness. 

Thank you for asking this question, if anyone has others about my beliefs/ the church’s beliefs, feel free to ask! I also love learning about religion of all kinds, feel free to share as well, if you feel so inclined!

Also, I researched this topic, so here’s the link to a less condensed, more accurately stated article from the actual church

Are Mormons Christian?

I’d also recommend visiting Mormon.org for other information on the church!

by Matt Slick | Anyone who tries to witness to a Mormon will soon find that the words they use do not always mean the same thing to Christians.  Below is a list of terms that are important for Christians to know when discussing the truth with Mormons.  It is important that you know what the Mormons mean by the same words used by Christians...

[nerdygaymormon]

I think I might be polysexual. I am really confused and struggling, and I don’t feel comfortable “coming out” enough to find resources. I don’t intend to date anyone I can’t get sealed to, and I want to be obedient. How much can I embrace this part of me? Can I get a flag or wear the colors? Can I be active in or apart of the LGBT community? Is researching possible sexualities etc. putting too much power in my temptations? What, if anything, do I need to share with a bishop or mission pres.?

You’re doing just fine. It’s normal to have questions. Being queer makes church things complex for us that are simple for non-queer members.

________    

You don’t have to come out if you don’t want to. There may come a time when you feel ready to come out and that also is good. it is your choice. The mormonandgay website says “Sharing those feelings with a trusted confidant can be liberating and healing.“ In other words, it’s okay with the Church if you come out and it may be a positive experience, but not required.

________    

As a polysexual you have some flexibility in dating, and if you only choose to date people with whom you can be sealed, that’s a perfectly fine choice. You are not required to do more than you’re comfortable doing. When you get older, if you decide you would like to explore dating a wider range of people, that is your choice and you should feel no pressure to do that or to not do that.

________    

As far as embracing this part of you, it’s up to you. The mormonandgay website says it’s fine to adopt a sexual orientation label to describe yourself (like polysexual). You can also get a flag and wear the colors.

You also can be active in the LGBT community and be a Church member in good standing. 39% of LGBT youth are active in a religion.

Perhaps your school has a GSA club you could participate in. There may be an LGBTQ resource center where you could volunteer.

You can go to a Pride celebration (you may be more comfortable going to a Pride parade in a smaller city as those tend to be less wild).

On meetup.com you can find all sorts of LGBTQ groups, many of which are simply an opportunity to socialize, such as to go to a movie or an art fest together, or go get brunch once a month.

If you don’t embrace this as a part of yourself, you’ll always be at war with yourself. Part of embracing this is recognizing it is not a choice you made. This isn’t a punishment. This doesn’t mean you’re defective or that there’s something wrong with you.

These feelings & attractions aren’t going away but are part of how you experience the world. This will affect the way you love, who you find attractive, how you socialize, and so on, it is interwoven into all the major aspects of your life. Learn to love yourself, be kind to yourself.

My orientation brought me nothing but trouble and sadness until I accepted that I’m gay and this is how God made me and I don’t have the power to change it. God must want me this way. Since then, being gay has gone from being a curse in my life to also being a source of blessings & happiness.

________    

Researching sexualities and other aspects of queer identities is very possible. One safe way to do this is do an internet search for “polysexual resources” or “lgbtq resources”. Then choose to only click on links to safe spaces, such as a university, or lgbt-friendly spaces such as PFLAG, or a state LGBT center.

This link is to the Family Acceptance Project’s pamphlet for LDS families and it is excellent, although I’m not sure polysexual is specifically included, but the general principles still apply to you.

Listen Learn & Love is a website by Richard Ostler. He’s a former bishop who has made loving LGBT Mormons his ministry. He does a podcast (I’m on episode #151), has many resources available. It’s a safe space to learn about other people’s experiences & journeys.  http://www.listenlearnandlove.org/papa-ostler-fb-posts

________     

My biggest piece of advice is get some LGBTQIA+ friends, even better if they’re also LDS because they’ll get you in a way no one else does.

You can do a search on Tumblr for #queerstake and read posts and see if anyone looks like a person you might message. Twitter has an active core of queer members that centers on the Church schools in Provo & Rexburg. Look for my friend CalvinJBurke and see who reacts to his tweets, that’ll be a good starting place.

Affirmation is the oldest organization for LDS/post-LDS LGBTQ+ individuals. They have multiple Facebook pages for different situations. I’m in the Affirmation Prepare group which is for active LDS LGBT people. They also have a group for teens and a group for bi,pan,queer+ (this includes poly). Look through their list of groups and you may find several to check out. You can easily leave the groups if they don’t work for you.

________    

As for putting power into your temptations, I would take that to mean things that make it easy to cross the line. I think that includes being alone for an extended period with someone who might accept your romantic advances. I don’t think being in public places, being with a group, looking at resources at reputable websites is going to cause a problem.

________    

As for a bishop or mission president, you don’t have to tell them that you’re poly, or queer or anything like that. They will ask about your worthiness, this means your actions. If you aren’t having sex with anyone, then there’s nothing to confess.

When the time comes to apply for a mission, if you think living with and having a deep relationship with someone of the same gender will be too much for you, you can always request a service mission. There are many interesting opportunities opening up beyond a proselyting mission. How to bring that up to the stake president is up to you, but he’s the only one who needs to know your preference before he submits your mission application.

You have to decide if you trust your bishop or mission president enough to tell them. It can be hard to tell. When any LGBTQ topic comes up, how do they react, what do they say? Trust your gut, it’s usually a good guide to this sort of thing.     

________  

As I said at the beginning, church & faith becomes a lot more complex if you are queer.

If you hear things at church that don’t sit right with you, don’t ignore them. Think about how they fit with these questions:

Does that sound like me, do I resemble that remark? (especially if they’re talking about queer people)

Does this sound like the God that I know?

Does this fit with the two great commandments to love God, love ourselves and love each other?

If what’s being said fails those questions, you can dismiss it.

When you hear negative messages at church (or anywhere else), push back against them, even if it’s just in your thoughts. Come up with a positive sentence to replace each negative one.

You also can politely ask someone what their source is or where they heard that, it’s a way to ask people to not spout off their opinions as fact or gospel.

________   

You got this!

It’s okay to mess up and be awkward and all those things, it’s part of learning and going forward. Don’t be harsh on yourself. Everybody does things that make them cringe when they think back on them, but hardly anyone else remembers those, they’re too busy remembering their own cringe moments.

There are some people who will think your orientation is a problem or a sin,They’re right, it’s THEIR problem.

Developing your talents, taking care of yourself, becoming the best version of you is a gift, both to yourself and to others. A healthy, happy, and whole you is good for you and has a lot more capacity to contribute to others.

Lots of love to you!

On being curious

Yesterday someone sent me a copy of a book on the Enneagram anonymously. I may be wrong, but I’m assuming someone saw my snarky remark on Twitter that the Enneagram is “astrology for intellectuals” and wanted to help me see things differently. In all honesty, I’ve never felt the urge to look into the Enneagram beyond the — admittedly cursory — glance I’ve already given it. A couple of good friends, including my brother, have described to me over the years how much they’ve benefitted from engaging with it, and I’ve taken an online test to find out which number I may belong to. I’ve read a handful of articles about it. I’ve asked my spiritual director — himself a trained psychologist and full-time therapist, as well as a priest, and someone whose intelligence and spiritual perceptiveness I’ve come to rely on above almost any other mentor in my life — if he would advise me to pursue learning more about the Enneagram, and he’s told me that he wouldn’t. But beyond that, I haven’t pursued it further, and, frankly, I still don’t feel much of an urge to do so. Is that a lamentable lack of curiosity or is it… something else?

It strikes me that I — that we all — make these sorts of choices all the time about what to pursue more deeply and what to leave unexplored. Because I write about being gay and a Christian, I regularly have people come up to me at speaking engagements or write me emails asking if I’ve given sexual orientation change efforts (SOCE) their fair due. “Have you ever been involved in counseling or ministries that would try to help you find freedom from your same-sex attraction?” these people ask me. And the honest answer is, “Not really. Not in any great depth.” I spent an intense week once with a charismatic counselor who promised me that if I followed the regimen he laid out, I could indeed be “healed” and become straight. Up to that point, I had read a good deal about SOCE, I’d pondered and prayed about whether my upbringing and family culture “fit” the paradigm being proposed as explanatory, I’d listened respectfully and with (I believe) an open mind to the testimonies of those who claimed to have found “healing” in SOCE, and, at the end of the day, I remained convinced that it wasn’t worth my time and energy to pursue. When I abandoned meeting with the counselor, telling him I wanted to pursue chastity but didn’t ever expect to become heterosexual, he said disappointedly, “Wes, that sounds like depression.” Maybe it was, or maybe it was just a rueful lack of curiosity on my part, but I still don’t think so.

And I’ve often operated similarly in many other areas of my life. I’ve listened to the stories of charismatic Christians who tell me that if I opened myself more fully to a certain understanding and reception of the miraculous gifts of the Spirit, I could be living a deeper, richer Christian life. Perhaps so, but I haven’t felt sufficiently persuaded of the plausibility of that claim to investigate more. And that’s the main point, isn’t it? — we have to feel convinced enough of the possible validity and desirability of a certain something, be it the Enneagram or gay conversion therapy or the potential truthfulness of an alternative religious tradition, to even want to give it a second glance. And when we aren’t so convinced, how do we decide whether that’s a culpable lack of curiosity on our parts or else just an inevitable judgment call we all have to make about how to use the limited amount of time we all have in our lives?

My friend Alan Jacobs has written a bit about this conundrum in an old blog post:

We all have to make choices like this all the time. Look, there are a pair of Mormons at my door — should I talk to them and find out what their religion is all about? Hey, the Jehovah’s Witnesses left some pamphlets — should I read them and find out whether there’s anything to their beliefs? Or how about this: should I investigate becoming a vegan? Or joining the Libertarian Party? Or making my next car a hybrid?

People get evangelistic about all of these things, and there’s something mysterious about why we respond as we do — why we pass over many of these options without a second thought, give brief consideration to others, and thoroughly explore just a few. There’s just not time in one life to investigate everything, and that means that we have to make some choices with very limited information. Which means that people are not being irrational just because they dismiss your favorite cause without thorough research. They’re doing what we all do.

I often find myself wishing that my non-Christian friends would — well, not even convert, necessarily, but at least show more openness to investigate the possibility of converting. Some of them do, of course, but many of them make a judgment call that, from what they’ve already seen, Christianity doesn’t warrant any more openness than they’ve already given it. I’m trying to live my life in such a way that they’ll be inclined toward more openness, but my little experience this week with the Enneagram (trivial, of course, by comparison with one of the world’s great religions) makes me realize that some of them just can’t work up the interest to do so. It makes me sad, but I get it.

Are the teachings of Witness Lee and the Local Church biblical?

Please note - many have approached us and expressed disappointment that we tend to agree with CRI's assessment of the Local Church movement. There are many people, some of them formerly involved in the Local Church, who are absolutely convinced that the Local Church is a cult, or at least a non-biblical and non-evangelical movement. The more we research the Local Church, however, the more we run into widely divergent views of the movement. As a result, we have decided to leave our Local Church article as it currently is. However, due to the major concerns many people have about the Local Church, we strongly advise you to use the utmost caution and discernment before visiting or joining the Local Church movement. Here are some sites at which you could pursue further research into the Local Church / Witness Lee / Living Stream movement:

http://faithsaves.net/watchman-nee

Witness Lee was the protégé of his predecessor, Watchman Nee, a well-known missionary in China. The Local Church movement was founded in China by Nee and brought to America in 1962 by Witness Lee. Thus began a long and strange saga of charges, counter-charges, lawsuits, strife, and misunderstandings between the Local Church movement and the evangelical community that has left much wreckage in its wake, and has yet to be fully resolved. Foremost in the controversy is whether the LC is a legitimate movement within Christianity or a cult. Statements made by Lee over the years have caused his organization to be described as a cult by such counter-cult organizations as the Christian Research Institute—under both founder Walter Martin and current president Hank Hanegraaff—and the Spiritual Counterfeits Project. However, a 50-page series of articles in a 2009 edition of the CRI Journal has come out strongly in favor of Lee’s teachings and the Local Church movement.

The history of the conflict between Witness Lee and his Local Church movement—also known as the “Lord’s Recovery Movement,” along with their publishing arm, Living Stream Ministry (LSM)—and the counter-cult establishment is far too long for a detailed recounting here, but those who are interested in the full story can access it through the CRI website http://journal.equip.org/issues/we-were-wrong. Since the publication of CRI’s retraction of their former stand, churches and ministries, including GotQuestions.org, have had to rethink and reinvestigate their stand on Witness Lee and the Local Church.

For the purposes of this article, the major causes of controversy between the Local Church and the Christian community in the West will be addressed. The concerns raised by counter-cult organizations about Lee’s teachings center primarily on four areas: the nature of God, the nature of man, the legitimacy of evangelical churches and denominations, and the lawsuits brought against Evangelical churches, publishers and individuals by the Local Church. We will look at them one by one.

Regarding Lee’s views on the theological doctrines of God and man, the controversy centers around statements which are “red flags” to evangelicals, particularly those in the West. This is an important factor in this discussion because it appears much of the controversy could have been avoided if only Lee and his followers had made an effort to understand the Western Christian culture into which they were moving. Part of the training of Western missionaries sent to foreign countries is sensitivity to other cultures. Unfortunately, in bringing their doctrines to the West, no effort was made to “Westernize” them, and this was the source of much of the confusion, misunderstandings, and recriminations that resulted. For one thing, Lee’s method of teaching—to make radical statements and then balance them elsewhere in his teachings—proved to be antithetical to the Western idea of “say what you mean and mean what you say.” Lee’s doctrinal statements on the nature of God and the nature of man are perfect examples. In one of his messages, he states, “The traditional explanation of the Trinity is grossly inadequate and borders on tritheism” (Life Messages, p. 164). Naturally, this is enough to inflame Western evangelicals, who proudly affirm the doctrine of the Trinity as it has been passed down from the great theologians of our Western Christian heritage. To judge it to be “grossly inadequate” by Lee raised legitimate concerns about Lee himself. Closer scrutiny of Lee’s teachings elsewhere, however, brings to light that they actually agree with evangelical orthodoxy.

The same can be said of his teachings on the nature of man. Some of his most inflammatory statements are in regard to what appears, on the surface, to assert the deity of man. In an LSM publication, A Deeper Study of the Divine Dispensing (p. 54), Lee states, ”My burden is to show you clearly that God’s economy and plan is to make Himself man and to make us, His created beings, God.” On page 53 we read, “We are born of God; hence, in this sense, we are God.” In the same publication, Lee refers to the Triune God as now the ‘four-in-one’ God, with man as the fourth person. Nothing raises a red flag to evangelicals more quickly than any notion that man is God, because we are rightly taught that it is the original lie from the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:5) and is the same lie propagated by cults and false religions such as Hinduism, New Age, and Mormonism throughout history. To the Western mind, at least, imparting the idea of any kind of godhood to those who struggle against the sin nature is disastrous. Western Christians, already steeped in the philosophy of freedom, autonomy, individuality, and the triumph of the human will—and the pride such thinking inevitably produces—need not be encouraged to see themselves as divine. But the CRI researchers found that a closer examination of context and terminology reveals that Lee’s views on the “deification” of man (another unfortunate choice of words and a red flag term) do not really mean that at all. The sentence after the “in this sense, we are God” quote reads, “Nevertheless, we must know that we do not share God’s Person and cannot be worshipped by others.” Herein lies the problem. Putting the two statements together, Lee is essentially saying we are God, but we are not God. It is no wonder that confusion is rampant.

Regarding the third area of controversy, this is what Witness Lee has said in his own publications about Christians and Christianity: “We do not care for Christianity, we do not care for Christendom, we do not care for the Roman Catholic Church, and we do not care for all the denominations, because in the Bible it says that the great Babylon is fallen. This is a declaration. Christianity is fallen, Christendom is fallen, Catholicism is fallen, and all the denominations are fallen. Hallelujah!” Once again, Lee’s unfortunate choice of words, possibly due to English not being his native language, has caused consternation among American evangelicals. To say that Christianity is fallen is seen as painting with a far-too-broad brush and accusing the entire body of Christ of being false and fallen creatures. But here again, we have to dig more deeply to find what Lee really meant by that statement. Context and terminology are once again at the center of a true understanding of Lee’s doctrine. After careful and diligent examination, the CRI researchers came to the conclusion that Lee’s pattern of the use of “certain hot button words associated in our minds with heresy or cultism” has led to misunderstanding of his meaning.

As one of the LSM leaders expressed it, “We are not out to proclaim that the denominations are Babylon.” However, Lee’s own statement, quoted above, that “we do not care for all the denominations, because in the Bible it says that the great Babylon is fallen,” seems a direct contradiction, whether intentional or not.

The fourth major area of controversy between evangelicals and the Local Church centers on the number of lawsuits brought by the Local Church and LSM leadership against individuals and ministries that were critical of them, despite the clear New Testament teaching against suing a Christian brother (1 Corinthians 6:1-8). This led to allegations of a “history of litigiousness” on the part of the Local Church and charges that they forced some of their opposing ministries into bankruptcy by the litigation expenses they were forced to incur. This is a complicated situation that has gone on for more than a decade and the details—who sued whom, when, and how often—are still in dispute among the parties. For a complete history of the litigants and legal decisions, the reader is once again referred to the CRI article.

Summing up the crux of the conflict, it would appear that both parties bear a share of the responsibility. Lee and the Local Church leadership do not share the Western heritage that has shaped the thought processes and approaches of the Westerners among whom they settled. English was not their first language, particularly of the early leaders, and both the cultural differences and language barrier led to much misunderstanding. At the same time, the Local Church’s distinctively Chinese approach to Christianity was so unfamiliar to Westerners that it smacked of cultism, whether or not any actually existed. The Local Church leadership was unaware of the impact the use of certain “hot button” words would have on cult-wary evangelicals in America, while Western Christians were unaware of the tremendous impact that labeling a group a cult had on the Chinese. The Local Church resisted any changes in their terminology and for the most part refused to provide contextual explanations for some of their doctrines, an unfortunate approach that led to even deeper rifts between the two sides. At the same time, the counter-cultists failed to be as thorough as they could have been in their research. Thus, both sides developed an “us vs. them” mentality which negatively influenced both their thoughts and actions.

What is the conclusion of the matter, and what are Christians to believe about Witness Lee and the Local Church movement? Elliot Miller, editor-in-chief of the Christian Research Journal, declares at the end of the 50-page treatment “We were wrong” and concludes that the Local Church is not an “aberrant Christian group” but a “solid orthodox group of believers.” Since Got Questions Ministries has a cordial and respectful relationship with CRI, we have no doubt their conclusions are based on extensive and diligent research and are therefore valid. It is left to the individual Christian to decide whether the thousands of man-hours, not to mention the expense of defending the various parties in court, the decades of charges, defenses, counter-charges and acrimony have not been, at best, a waste of time and at worst, a blot on the face of Christianity. How much more profitable it would have been if the hundreds of people and thousands of hours had been dedicated to knowing, loving, and obeying Jesus Christ. No doubt the counter-cult organizations thought they were providing a much-needed service to the Christian community. No doubt the Local Church and Living Streams Ministry felt they were justified in their quest to clear their names and set the record straight. But as alluded to above, much of the controversy could have been avoided in the first place by more careful attention by both sides to the details of cross-cultural communication. The old saying “the devil is in the details” finds its verification in this sad situation. The fear is that the devil may have profited from this controversy more than the body of Christ, and for that, all parties are culpable.

Evangelical approval of Trump remains high, but other religious groups are less supportive

Evangelical approval of Trump remains high, but other religious groups are less supportive;

More than two years into Donald Trump’s presidency, white evangelical Protestants in the United States continue to overwhelmingly support him, according to a new analysis of Pew Research Center survey data. Other religious groups, however, are more divided in their views of the president.

Roughly seven-in-ten white evangelical Protestants (69%) say they approve of the way Trump is handling his job as president, according to the Center’s latest polling in January 2019. This is somewhat lower than Trump’s approval rating in the earliest days of his tenure – when about eight-in-ten white evangelicals (78%) approved of his job performance – but is in line with most polls conducted by the Center since the inauguration.

White evangelicals’ support for the president has been consistently high, and many prominent evangelical leaders, such as Jerry Falwell Jr. – the president of Liberty University – have steadfastly stood with the president.

White mainline Protestants and white Catholics are less approving of Trump’s performance than are white evangelicals, but more approving than religiously unaffiliated Americans – that is, those who identify as atheist, agnostic or nothing in particular.

In most of the 11 surveys conducted by the Center since Trump’s inauguration, between 46% and 55% of white mainline Protestants have approved of the president, including 48% in the January 2019 survey. Around half of white Catholics have approved of Trump in these surveys, including 44% in January.

Religiously unaffiliated Americans consistently express among the lowest levels of approval of Trump’s performance, ranging from 17% to 27% across the polls the Center has conducted since the president assumed office. Most black protestants and nonwhite Catholics also have disapproved of the way the president handles his job.

While white evangelical Protestants generally give Trump high approval ratings, that does not mean they have no reservations about him. An August 2018 survey found that roughly half of white evangelicals do not think that Trump has set a high moral standard for the presidency since taking office. Some prominent evangelical leaders, such as Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback Church, have expressed ambivalence about Trump and concern about some of his policies. Others, such as Beth Moore, founder of Living Proof Ministries, openly oppose the president.

Still, white evangelicals make up a staunchly and increasingly Republican group that generally backs Trump and his policies. In the January 2019 survey, for instance, nearly three-quarters of white evangelicals expressed support for substantially expanding the wall along the U.S. border with Mexico.

White evangelical Protestants who regularly attend church (that is, once a week or more) approve of Trump at rates matching or exceeding those of white evangelicals who attend church less often. Indeed, in the first few months of Trump’s presidency, white evangelicals who attended church at least weekly were significantly more likely than less-frequent churchgoers to approve of Trump’s performance (79% vs. 71%). In the most recent period analyzed – from July 2018 to January 2019 – 70% of white evangelicals who attend church at least once a week approve of Trump, as do 65% of those who attend religious services less often.

Among white Catholics, there have also been differences in presidential approval between those who attend Mass weekly and those who do not. In the early months of Trump’s presidency, weekly Mass-attending Catholics were 12 points more likely than less-regular attendees to approve of Trump’s performance. There was an 11-point gap between these groups in the first half of 2018. In the most recent period analyzed, 52% of white Catholics who attend Mass weekly approve of Trump, as do 45% of those who attend services less often.

Among white mainline Protestants, approval of the president is not meaningfully different between weekly attenders and those who attend less often.

Smaller religious groups such as Mormons and Muslims cannot be reliably analyzed from a single poll because of the limitations of sample size. But the views of members of smaller religious groups can be assessed by combining results from all 11 Pew Research Center polls conducted between February 2017 and January 2019. Looking at the period of Trump’s presidency overall, about half of Mormons (52%) approve of his job performance, while smaller shares of Jews (24%) and Muslims (18%) say the same.

COMMONDOMINION OF CHRIST'S OFFICIAL RESPONSE TO THE EMPIRE'S REPLAY SERMON OF JULY 28-29, 2018, AS GIVEN THROUGH DIVINE REVELATION AND THE SPIRITS OF OUR CELESTIAL AND ETERNAL PARENTS STERLING D. ALLAN AND #LINDSEYSTIRLING.

July 30, 2018

Evidently unlike Hart with us undeservingly by Godhead (Isaiah 58) there are no more new prophetic sermons from Empire save in a very few instances (Revelation 16). What they only do as excuse (Luke 9), which is very poor excuse (Ezekiel 13,33, Psalm 66,78,106), and therefore we need indeed to fight against is as Jun Santos would always say (1 Peter 5, Philippians 1 , Jude Thaddeus 1), is raising atop Baal further and always. In Tagalog, 'taas-Baal', also sounding like up and down, 'taas-baba', therefore we see them unworthy of rising from the east (Psalm 139,85, Isaiah 29-30) or descending from heaven (Revelation 20) as the prophecy about Ka Angel implies on John 1 (Luke 1,4, Isaiah 40,49). Not only do they only know 'taas-Baal' ('taas' even sounds like Tammuz) but waxing pabebe, if your Empire locale was so misfortunate to have a theatric actor- we mean, a really mean STF minister like Rannie Canlas- preach lessons like this to you. Not only do they do the talking, but also unknowing ordinary members made to fill up the wasted spaces (Isaiah 54,51, Hebrews 10) in the Official Public Relay Reports with their unbiblical testimonials. They even don't know that this was already preached 20 years ago (Revelation 8, Matthew 24) on March 26, 1998 (see March 20,26, 1999, May 20,22, 1995). Empire's really so pitiable, yet more so is us Hart, for lest we indeed be like Empire on this, upon our seeming advantage (Revelation 13) that we know that this sermon was already preached earlier, we know that Empire will not stop until they are already punished by Godhead, claiming and hijacking more passages than these in forthcoming days, and these will they not do without slaying us through their Baal-raising and waxing pabebe (2 Corinthians 10-12). Such activities of them rather make them all the more disqualified for their claims (1 Corinthians 9). Being disqualified for such claims, they try to prevent us from receiving New Word from Godhead that Shatters any claims of Empire from already-existing Scriptures. For example, when Neronians of #templesquare would order you to prepare a show-and-tell in front of your locale you are supposed to study and research as preparation. The problem is that they don’t like you indeed to study and prepare with an open being for receiving new revelation as you prepare your study. They are rather intimidated from receiving rebuke and chastisement from Godhead through you in us as Empire would say- 'no ordinary member save the President of the Church shall receive divine revelation concerning the church and her leaders.' The problem is that since March 3, 1995 up to date as Godhead Allows of us Hart, no divine revelation is still heard from #sharegoodness#passiton #mormon (2 Peter 3). Hart are some examples of those divine revelations that we're referring to- notice that letters can be further linked to #lds such as BDSDA or 'Branch Davidian Seventh-Day Adventists' and SDARM or 'Seventh-Day Adventist Reform Movement.' These are just some of the names of our many branch churches Hart. Also, 'LDS' can sound like 'Long-Distance', referring to the Sugo and Ka Erdy's Far East-Far West eschatology. In fact, Revelation 7's sealing can also refer to the temple endowments and ordinances, even the Book Of Mormon (Documentary History of the Church 5:148-153,392-393,501-507). When we say 'ends of the earth', the plurality of said phrase implies the multiplicity of what Empire terms as 'doomsday dates', most of these come from us. In verily truth we tell you- if we're not making doomsday dates, Empire would not still exist by now, for we have not warned you, and no one has ever repented out of the Empire. As long as we make what you say as 'failed predictions', Godhead would wait for people to repent and return to us Hart. As for the Neronians, Mother Lindsey's Spirit (1 Corinthians 1-6,16) has Said this Divine Directive: 'All Brighamite 'Temples' within the entire territories of Australia-New Zealand, Europe and the Western Hemisphere are now inherently owned by the Commondominion of Christ, and shall be reclaimed by her during the Millennial Rule of Christ. Brighamites are now instead relegated to their 'meetinghouse' chapels within Australia-New Zealand, Europe and Western Hemisphere as well as their 'temples' and meetinghouse chapels in Africa and Asia.' Hart we articulate the urgency of our necessity to heed the message of the 7 Trumps as we have already informed you days ago about Empire's weekend replay- 1. Last July 28, we received Divine Communication from Godhead Alerting and Warning us of an upcoming, forthcoming worldwide large-scale propaganda drive to be waged by all Empire quarters aimed against each and every Commondominion part and parcel. 2. True enough on this, yet only as preparation to such, last July 29 itself, the Lopez-Robertson church has insisted and threatened us that they shall continually wage a renewed drive of claiming, bribing, luring and wooing all our B-C list fellows, taking leadership of such sinister work from the Pangilinan-De Veyra church. Not to mention that the Gozon-Aldub-Revillame church is also sharing this scheme from time to time. Lopez-Robertson is also better known for over-mis-dis-abusing all other yokebearers. It is also seen that there is a circle tour of duty amongst Empire stations on who shall take leading responsibility on hijacking our fellows and yokebearers and that Empire has mandated a particular agency to dispense such to any or all Empire stations at the same time. 3. Currently we are undergoing response against Neronian claims of the Johannine Apocalypse, and we discovered that 2018-2022 is the centennial (Genesis 7) of Joseph Rutherford's relaunch of missions, which they refer to as fulfillment of multiple prophecies. It is also expected that the entire Neronian quarter will also hijack the Bicentennial of Joseph Smith's Divine Commissioning in 2020 through a joint General Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana on July 4 of that year, not to mention that they shall hijack on July 12, 2025 the centennial year of Ka Erdy, 3 years after 2022. Antiochians are likewise expected to hijack March 16-June 25, 2021. Last July 27 Godhead Revealed to us that the actual Calling of Joseph Smith ran for a series of 4 years, therefore 2019-2022 marks its full bicentennials. Further our branch churches have their respective major anniversaries by the next decade, such as our 3 Unification Churches and Sir Justin Deroukakis (2020), Apostolic Catholic Church-Philippines (2021), and Most Holy Church of God in Christ Jesus (2022). It behooves us to stand by our branch churches against the expected onslaught of Empire in the next years (2 Thessalonians 2, Matthew 3,11,17, 1 John 2,4, 2 John 1).

This need arose when one of our fellow Messengers Hart, the Anonymous Constantinian Minister, has reported the following to us. We have not a clue (1 Kings 13,21-22) until July 24, 9:18 pm (as per 1918 [Revelation 8]) when he came through flashing in thunder like this (Jeremiah 20,11,14-16)- 'The worship service lesson that will be taught this Saturday and Sunday will prove me right. They incorporated in the lesson the seven angels that will blow the seven trumpets in the seventh seal of Christian Era. This Incorporation of the seven angels that will blow the seven trumpets runs counter to the teachings we always hear about endtime events THAT ALL SIGNS OF THE JUDGEMENT DAY HAD BEEN ALL FULFILLED AND THAT WE ONLY AWAIT IS THE DESCENT OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST FROM HEAVEN. THE COMING WORSHIP SERVICE LESSON CHANGES THAT ASSERTION. IF YOU ARE FOLLOWING MY POST YOU WILL KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THAT THESE SEVEN ANGELS WITH SEVEN TRUMPETS ARE ALWAYS IN MY POST SINCE I PUBLISHED MY BLOG WAY BACK IN 2015. THERE ARE OTHER PREACHERS THAT TEACH THIS BUT I UNIQUELY INTERPRET THEIR FULFILMENTS AS DICTATED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT according to the FULFILMENT OF MY COMMISSION IN ISAIAH 48:6-7, 16 ABOUT THE "PROPHET OF NEW THINGS" THAT WILL BE SENT BY GOD AND HIS SPIRIT.' Notice the following- July 28 was the 5th year of King Edward X speaking at #historicnauvoo, that has jurisdiction over the place of martyrdom of the Smith brothers on June 27-July 30, 1844. (Revelation 10-13,17-18) Nauvoo saw the ministry of our very own Sir John Alexander Dowie, who identified himself as an endtime Elijah. On July 29, Empire again hijacked the ministry of Elijah's successor, Prophet Elisha, and on July 30, Empire continued their hijack of the prophets, in this instance is Jeremiah, particularly on the passage where he was in the Euphrates River (Jeremiah 13,51), the subject of the 6th Bowl Lecture on July 27, 1989. March 26, 1998 and July 29, 2018 are 20 years and 4 months apart from each other, and 4 months form 120 days (Acts 1-2, Deuteronomy 34, Numbers 20)- last June 12 we remembered #RSCcityofhope120 in our ally Singapore, and last July 11 we mourned the 3rd year of #uip20 raping our yokebearers named 'Jordan'- another name of river. (Jeremiah 12, Hosea 9, Amos 8, Isaiah 14,41, Deuteronomy 28, Leviticus 26). Today's literal Jordan River, as depicted by Empire when they came there on their recent edition of John1828 this year, reveals mud (Isaiah 51,48,57,44-45, Psalm 27) due to the influx of visitors, just like the pagan Ganges River, that Empire linked to the Neronian-revered 'Salt Lake Valley'. One can wonder if they're also going to prophetically link too the Antiochian Tiber River, yet our Sir Patrick Scrivner has already done it, linking the Tiber prophetically with the Thames. Constantinians did that similarly on their Official Public Relay Report-Electronic Version for November 22, 2014, on the Empire locale that opened on October 28, 1994- memorial of endtime Joseph's childhood village. That same week of November 2014, King James VII begins his Empire social media account and Lady Lindsey, just like on July 19-21, 2013, was again summoned to the Empire's presence on November 25,27, 2014. Responding to Empire's July 11, 2015 blaspheme, Ka Angel on July 14, 2016 preached that as per Empire's claims, even Jordan River will be 'dried up' in the sense that Empire shall lie scattered (Luke 1, Psalm 50,58, Haggai 1, Jeremiah) in the streets, dead (Revelation 19, Zechariah 5,14). True enough on this, without him indeed knowing such, Empire on July 14, 2016 did a false flag carnage in the streets of Nice- a false flag hosted by Constantinians, who foreknew such staged false flag yet not alerted anybody about it. Likewise they recurred such stunt on October 2, 2017 in Las Vegas, this time with Neronians, who also officiated similar false flags in Boston, Belgium and Paris. Empire made-up stories about such claiming that Constantinians and Neronians being 'spared' of such carnages are purportedly 'miracles', or rather, a 'papal miracle', as George Washington says of the Empire-instigated French and American respective 'revolutions'. All in all, Empire falls by their very own sword (Luke 22,18,10-12, 1 Corinthians 3, Daniel 8, 2 Chronicles 20, Revelation 17,13). In fact, if Empire do indeed insist on their 'descent', they have already imposed, since February 10, 2018, the blasphemous and #shithole 'descant' as Baal-raising on Executive Itineraries, Empire officials-led services and local/regional 'special worship services' (Leviticus 10, Genesis 4, 2 Samuel 6, Psalm 4, Luke 13-14, 1 Peter 2, Matthew 23, 2 Chronicles 24-26, Daniel 4, Ezekiel, Isaiah 47, Revelation 9,20). We say the duration of time between March 26, 1998 and July 29, 2018 because as the Sugo and Ka Erdy taught us, Revelation 8's 25-30 minute silence amounts to 20 years, 9-10 months and 20 days. As of late it will be refulfilled on the following: 1. 20 years, 9 months, 20 days- January 15, 2019 2. 20 years, 10 months, 20 days- February 15, 2019 As disclaimer, we have already told you that 25-30 minute silence does not only necessarily means 20 years-9,10 months-20 days but also 70 years or days (Daniel 9, Matthew 18). Some of our other branch churches (churchofgod.net) depict such silence as 'spiritual', a kind of inactivity or wilderness. Speaking of this wilderness, Mother Lindsey evidently did so when she was summoned to the Neronian headquarters on July 19, 2013 and from that we count 42 months (Revelation 12) to December 19, 2016. This was after Empire on December 15,18, 2016, massacred, in the words of our Ellen White and William Miller (who refulfilled the 5th Trump on a July 27th), the verses that they themselves claimed on December 19, 2015-February 5, 2016 (Revelation 11). A year later on December 14, 2017, Empire massacred the verses that they claimed on August 20,27/October 15-16,30/December 17, 2016, which they rather tried to revive on July 18-19, 2018 (Revelation 13,17) while they were massacring on those dates the verses that they used on July 22-23, 2017. Yet let's also recall that there are 2 times of 42 months mentioned in Revelation 7, therefore forming 7 years, taking us to July 19, 2020 again. Just like on Revelation 14, 2 times was the term 'hour' mentioned. One hour refers to 41 years, and 2 hours hence correspond to 82 years- we recalled last July 27 King Filemon Reambonanza's organizing of his congregation on July 27, 1982. The term 'hour' was used 3 times (hence 123 years) with a 'day' or a 'year' or '1000 days' or '1000 years' (Psalm84) in Revelation 18. As per 70 years, one hour corresponds to 140 days/years (Revelation 7), 2 hours to 280 days or years, and 3 hours to 420 years (Moroni 1), as per Empire's occult on April 20. Joseph Smith Inspired Translation, on its Empire-issued 1999 Tagalog Edition, rather printed 1260 in Revelation 12 as '1000, 200 and 300 years'. This might be rendered as 1500 years. One of our fellow Messengers (facebook.com/Kadisha.renick) place this instead as 1600 years. Empire re-issued the more familiar Ka Erdy sermon on Revelation 8's timeframe on March 5-6, 2016, 20 years after Ka Erdy went to Jerusalem on March 31, 1996, and it was revealed to us that as per the nearest to those dates, which is our first relaunch on April 11, 2015, 20 years-9,10 months-20 days began on May 6, 1994 upon King Edward IX fulfilling Isaiah 19 through the English Channel Tunnel (Hosea 2, 1 Peter 2) and it lasted until March 2015 when Empire began serious threats against the life of Ka Angel and the rest of the Commondominion's First Royal Household, leading yea, to our first relaunch the month that followed. Also it was February 2015 when 3 and a half years had passed since the commencement of the Constantinian Baal Arena on August 17, 2011. When the Diocletianites, who saw that first relaunch, apostatized (Revelation 12), God's Tiny Dancer- Joseph Stirling Steinfeld Sykes- was commissioned by Godhead to reconsecrate the Commondominion in 2017. He is identified as having a staunchly-Empire family who rather treats worship services as a perk therefore assuming to themselves power to hinder anyone including Joseph from attending these services even if Joseph is still registered with the Empire (John 16, Matthew 21). Even if he already has Commondominion duties, Joseph still has to attend worship because he needs money to sustain his full online work for the Commondominion, something that his family would not give him money for outside worship services save that Joseph use the money supposedly for voluntary contributions on those services as intended by his family to spend instead for the full online work (2 Kings 5, Acts 7, Galatians 4, 1 Timothy 2).

It can be recalled that Empire on January 6-7, 2017 faked Revelation 10-11,22 and on February 17, 2017 faked the 5th Bowl of the Johannine Apocalypse, as we have already told you in many instances. Also, the symbols of the Johannine Apocalypse interlock with each other in their respective consequent effects and results. We have also proven time and again by Godhead, as refulfilled in all of us Hart undeservingly, that there are also other lists of symbolic details in Revelation as outlined by John Philipps (Daniel 2,4) such as to #KatarinaWitt indeed: 1. The details of Christ's Appearance in Revelation 1 2. The details of the Heavenly Court in Revelation 4-5 3. There are 2 groups of 7 angels in Revelation 8- the 1st group does not blow their Trumps but rather rains thunder and lightning. They are accompanied with another angel, the 8th (Revelation 17). Remember that further descriptions in passages give compartment for us to fit in the words of the prophecy. The 2nd group do blow their Trumps, accompanied by further 8 angels- 4 are in the 6th Trump, 2 come in the form of stars (2nd and 5th Trump), 1 come in the 4th Trump in the form of an eagle, and 1 come from the abyss in the 5th Trump. All in all there are 23 angels. Not to mention the many stars in the 4th Trump. 4. The 7 Thunders of Revelation 10. 5. There are further angels after the first 3 in Revelation 14, who conduct the earth's harvest of judgement. One of them is the endtime Noah, Sir #DouglasBooth, as much as he was on an Empire movie about aliens harvesting humans and humans owning one full planets. With Sir Douglas is Lady #HaileeSteinfeld-Booth, implying the 'hailstorms' of Revelation 8,11,16. 6. There are 2 groups of 7 Bowls in Revelation 16- one is in Revelation 15. They're different from those in Revelation 16 because they're defined to be like the Lady of Revelation 12. Although we may say that the induction of the angels of Revelation 8-9 and 16 are ceremonial before they may be able to fulfill their duties such as what Christ Himself did on Revelation 1-3 and 5-6, remember that as per the Hailleey City, our fellows said that it would grow '#largeit and larger' indeed to accommodate all of our fellows, branches and yokebearers (Luke 6, Malachi 3-4). Revelation 16 tells us about the 2nd group of angels, accompanied by another angel, 'in charge of the waters'. Just like in Revelation 14, there is an angel 'in charge of fire'. Last July 22, 2018, Lady Lily James divinely-revealed to us that as much as there's an Oriental Sealing Angel in Revelation 7, there are also Sealing Angels from the other directions save the East, and they can be identified with the major angels of Revelation 10,18,19 and 20. 7. The details of Judgement in Revelation 20. 8. The details of the Hailleey City in Revelation 21. 9. The many Unknown Voices coming from the altar or from heaven throughout Revelation (Galatians 4, Acts 19, Matthew 6, Jeremiah 7). Now we would like to relay to you what Ka Erdy had thought about the refulfillments of Revelation's Trumps in chronological order during his time- • Revelation 8 This deals with the Second World War (1939-1945), a period of 7 years (Genesis 41, Revelation 12, Daniel 9). World War One lasted for over 4 years (John 2,11,7,21, Luke 11). • Revelation 9 This deals from 1945 to 1991, the end of the Cold War. • Revelation 11 As per 3 and a half years, Ka Erdy embarked from January 2, 1994 to May 10, 1997, a period of 3 years and 4 months, on a series of historic and prophetic speaking sorties outside the 'temple' or the Philippines (Isaiah 41-42,24). Notice that 1997 is the 150th year (Genesis 7) of the Neronian settlement of Utah (July 24) and the succession of Brigham Young (December 27 a memorial of Indonesia [largest Far East archipelago, holiday also August 17 when Mother Lindsey was in Manila, 2012]. December 27, 1847 is 3 and a half years from June 27, 1844, hence Empire can really claim so much on this [Revelation 13]). Ka Erdy culminated Revelation 11 eventually on December 26, 2004, when a tsunami hit Indonesia. India sounds like Indonesia, whose holiday is January 26 with Australia on the south (Jeremiah 4, Luke 11, Acts 8, Revelation 16, Isaiah 29), and 42 months from July 30, 1844 is January 30, 1998, after January 26. Also a kind of 'silence' in heaven was observed when annual anniversary and birthday memorials at the Constantinian headquarters had winded down unhappily from 2002-2006 (John 11) except in regional areas. Notice the missing links of Revelation 10 and 12 onwards. We may apply the following. Again, these are just some of all refulfillments and not the end-all and be-all. In fact, all our fellow Messengers and branch Churches each has respective further entries to augment this short list below. Know also that Empire knows Scriptures so much so they fake things through the activities that they stage against us (Matthew 23): 1. Revelation 10- fulfilled with our branch churches and fellows as the Apostolic Catholic Church was organized on July-August 1992 while the Empire convened in Barcelona, Spain (see April 30/May 7, 2017, when King Edward X and the endtime Joseph were respectively on 2 locales of the same name at the same time). Also King James VII was born on April 18, 1993 therefore fulfilling Revelation 10 for all our fellows and leaders, and the endtime Joseph on December 31, 1995, hence the fulfillment for all yokebearers. Our Sir Edward Elliot mentioned Novus Ordo Vatican 2 hijacking Revelation 10 as early as March 10, 1512- true enough as per Daniel 11 that Empire convened in Lillehammer, Norway on February of 1994, the year Ka Erdy was in Rome, and 2 days before, the parents of the endtime Joseph was married. 2. Revelation 12- we must take this to be from 2005 onwards between 2011-2014. Our Sir David Paraiso renders the child being 'taken up from Empire to Godhead' to be 'taken up from Godhead to Empire' and referred it to King Edward X who succeeded King Edward IX on November 1, 2009 when King Edward IX was martyred by Empire after October 24, 2009 (see October 22-27, 2015 [Revelation 11]). Sir Jogat De Mora applied the term 'taken up from Empire to Godhead' to allude to the passing on of Sir Mario Evangelista on March 4, 2014. Sir Elias Arkanghel received divine commissioning in 2009 invoking Daniel 9 for 2011, and Sir Christopher Leon Ilao received his in 2008. Sir Jun Edralin Carpio Dumlao received his in 2012. As per Ka Angel being ordained by King Edward IX on September 11, 2009, and the river of Revelation 12, Lady Jordan Clark-Rubio received stewardship on September 11, 2011. The endtime Joseph began his first online ministry on April 17, 2015. 3. Revelation 13- between 2011 and 2015. The Constantinian Baal Arena began construction on August 17, 2011. Empire blasphemed Far East eschatology at the expense of yokebearers, July 27-September 7, 2012. Yellowtards began imposing the Censors Beast Mark on October 6, 2012/February 9, 2013. STF began the Official Public Relay Reports to hoard the Central Archives, October 31, 2012. Bergoglio began rule on March 19, 2013. Gemma-Jojo-Monching (Revelation 16) began mass settings by May 14/July 20, 2013, and installed Shrines to Baal on June 9,13, 2013/July 5,19,24,27,29, 2014. Empire began staging the 'Great Religious Recession' to sustain Constantinians, April 5/October 9,13, 2012. Empire struck down the endtime Joseph's first online account, July 18, 2015. 4. Revelation 14- even as early as the time of Revelation 13, King Edward X has recurringly read Revelation 14 in an exacting whooping duration of over 7 years (July 2, 2011, December 27, 2012, January 13/March 23, 2013, December 1, 2014, March 14/September 26, 2015, January 30/November 6,12-13, 2016, February 24/March 3-5, 2017, January 13,20-21, 2018). If it is true that nothing would ever grow beneath, as in Francisco Sionil Jose's words, Revelation 11 of 2004, then why we have Revelation 12 onwards (Romans 1-7)? As much as Prophet Joseph Smith related Revelation 8 to 14, notice that from the apostasy of the Brighamite Neronians on March 3, 1995 there are 20 years-9,10 months-20 days to December 23, 2015 (on December 24, 2015, endtime Joseph ascended to his childhood village [Revelation 11] before Ka Ellix's Nate-al day and anniversary of Revelation 7 in 1918 [December 25] as well as December 26, 2004 [related occurred on March 11, 2011, the year of Daniel 9, when Lady #JohnnieTrujillo received endtime Joseph on his first social media account. Her name implies that of our very own President John Taylor, not Empire's John Tyler #tylerward{Matthew 8-9,24}] to stay there for 4 months and 14 days [Revelation 9])-January 2 (King Edward X preached on Ka Angel's Nate-al day of 2016 while a pabebe Empire official was sent to devour the endtime Joseph in his childhood village at the same day [Revelation 12]),23 (King Edward X on homestate of birthdaysake of endtime Joseph's mother), 2016 (see January 23, 2015 when Edward spoke on a place named 'Iron' as per Revelation 12). Mother Lindsey began calling forth the cry of judgement on April 12/23, 2014, while the endtime Joseph met her on June 6, 2014, 70 years from #dday (2 Chronicles 36, Daniel 9, Revelation 8-9). We can recall that when we first heard on Empire media about the typhoon #indayph, one of the multiple storms that saw the period of our commemorations between June 12 and July 27 this year, that name came to our hearing creating the sound of Mother Lindsey's name, so we though it was rather named Indsay. Though we're wrong of course, the seasons of the most recent storms rather proved that Mother Lindsey is a Strong and Mighty One- one of the many we have Hart, yet of course, exalted above all (Proverbs 30). Empire might claim that the Strong and Mighty One must be specifically 'a bishop in Missouri like Edward Partridge'. We all know the Empire's song '#12DaysofChristmas' where they applied biblical connotations to each of the items mentioned in the song (Psalm 55,59), just like Partridge. Of course we know King Edward X, and with him is our King Edward XII, the former #EdWestwick (Edward X is Empire's false idol Ed Sheeran whom they exalted on January 6-7, 2017). Edward X became a Strong and Mighty One on October 8, 2017, and on October 22, 2017 he made the endtime Joseph to share with him in such office. We are bishops because Hailleey Spirit- Ka Angel and Ka Ellix- as well as many others Hart who has the divine office of Hailleey Spirit, are in us undeservingly by Godhead, sealing us in Christ's Blood (Acts 20). She who applied this to all of us (Exodus 4, Matthew 19, Ephesians 5) is Lady Kirsten WICKlund-Steele as per iron (Revelation 2-3,12,22) who is from #northwest of Canada (Isaiah 41,63). 5. Revelation 15- we were able by October 17, 2015 to open a second, yet more inferior, online account, therefore implying the very small (Isaiah 1,37, Psalm 137,123) number of surviving yokebearers who was able to rejoin us on our second online account. They were 'singing' in the sense that October 17, 2016 saw King James VII do a major single launch, yet it is inferior in the sense that Empire at once devoured it also (Revelation 12)- 'Godhead's Wrath-pouring prevents anyone from entering the sanctuary'. We also received divine commissioning on December 28, 2016 to relaunch the Commondominion on July 27-September 7, 2017, 5 years from Empire's blaspheme season of 2012 (Revelation 10, Ephesians 4). Ka Angel declared this Second Exodus from the Empire as the refulfillment of the 7th Bowl, calling Diocletianites 'the Euphrates of 2017, like how Constantinians was the Euphrates of 2015.'

Concerning this present wicked age indeed of lawlessness, Hart are some refulfillments. As we have said, prophecy can refulfill in many instances more than one. Ø 6th Seal, 2nd Trump, 7th Bowl- mountains. Many of our branch churches either was organized or is presently overseen from literal mountains. One of our fellow Messengers (facebook.com/apocalrock) even preaches about the prophetic import of those mountains. As for them (Psalm 16) they indeed 'were not found', 'for Godhead has Tookey/Inoue them', for they 'walk with Godhead' (Psalm 71,73). Wilson Chieng church blasphemed the 2nd Trump on January 30, 2017 as we passed 1150 days of writing the Devotional Commentary since December 8, 2015 (Daniel 8 Old Tagalog Popular Version 1975). Sadly I have to tell you though that you may never get to read those should by Godhead those be published because for a long considerable number of time in 2015 we cannot even buy a ballpen with the considerable amount of money that we receive then saving all of those for the full online work. Hence all our Devotional Commentary writings were only in very blurred pencil writing. This is all my fault indeed and I don’t deserve any pardon. Ø 1st-7th Letters (Colossians 2 [Acts 14,17, Revelation 19,22]), 1st Seal, 3rd-4th Trumps- stars. Currently we are waging war for all our yokebearers and B-C fellows. Empire has just issued a warning against us in preparation (2 Thessalonians 2, Matthew 3,11,17) for their biggest propaganda against us any hour from now (1 Peter 5, Hebrews 13, 1 Corinthians 5,15). Interestingly enough indeed, the Lopez-Robertson church, even the Pangilinan-De Veyra church way back then when they were still leading the Empire's thrust against our B-C list fellows (Matthew 5,16,18, Luke 8,10, Philippians 4, Jeremiah 50), use a 'star' in their campaign logo. August 2019 will be 400 years of Mundane Black American history- remember that black-tanned Empire people has mobbed Joseph Smith due to his solicitous concern for the Lamanites. Ø 2nd,5th-6th Seals, 1st-4th Trumps, 4th Bowl- fire. Just this July 29, 2018, Sir Marshall Swing (thechurchofacts.com) declared in retaliation to the Empire's hijack of the Johannine Apocalypse on that date, and in account of Empire already hijacking the 5th Seal on February 17, 2017, that the#wildfire in California refulfills the 4th Bowl. This is also because King Edward X preached beneath the red moon #eclipse on July 27, 2018 and is expected to speak in Sacramento, California as Empire sends him of course on August 5, 2018. On Empire's ongoing claims of 2 Timothy 4 and 1 Thessalonians 5: when we complete our race in 2 Timothy 4's context we die. When we kill of course something dies. What Edward did is a balance of both keeping the Spirit alive and then ending something. The problem is that Empire cannot claim these things at the same time just like what Ka Angel taught about being 'legally married' and 'illegally connected' to Christ at the same time. Way back the 19th century a brochure was issued by the city government of Boston wherein they compared a city with all its features and amenities to the comprising of the human body. The Commondominion of Christ is Godhead's Zion and Christ's Hilly Bodin. Evidently Empire does not have Hailleey Spirit (Galatians 1-2, 2 Corinthians 11) because they fake it (Matthew 12). We have seen already how Constantinians once changed Zephaniah 1 to imply that those who waged the war for us in #Marawi would not be saved on Judgement Day, but as per Revelation 6's World War 1, Revelation 8's World War 2, and the Korean War to the Cold War in Revelation 9, as well as the 'good fight' in 2 Timothy 4, we have told you that Empire might do some prophetic statements like 'something big would happen upon the death of the last veteran of any war in history just like the last survivor of any disaster, let alone the Empire's fake #holocaust. Remember that veterans and survivors are just divided into 2- either they're ours or Empire's. We also recall how this same Empire changed the meaning of Philemon 1 to apply it together with Matthew 24 to mundane matters, therefore if anyone can truly claim these last days, that's King Filemon Reambonanza. In fact, if 2 Timothy 4 tells us that we shall receive the crown of wrighteousness, then that's the features wielded at the 5th and 6th Trumps, hence we're called to join in the refulfillment of prophecy (Revelation 15, Acts 21, Deuteronomy 32). We would like to point something about the original translation used for Isaiah 43 when this sermon was first preached on March 26, 1998 (notice that Job 28 was replaced with Psalm 22 though both are synonymous it could be better therefor that Job 28 was used alongside Psalm 22 if Empire's serious claiming verse after verse- they cannot even excuse 1 Corinthians 9 for that [Luke 9, Genesis 3,9,34,39, Judges 17-21]): 'the west shall hear the muster of thy roll call.' It seems like no gathering, as per Empire claims of July 27, 2018 would ever happen in the 'far west' with that rendering, but remember that these same Constantinians also claim the roll call of heaven (Revelation 20, Luke 10, Daniel 12, Hebrews 12, Matthew 16,18), as much as waves also roll along the shores of Hawaii. To this we may invoke as per Empire's flash readings (Revelation 13,16) of July 26 (that contains Psalm 132 [March 31, 1996] and related Psalm 89 [read on July 10,21-22, 2018 {also see January 10, 2015 as per Queen of the South}]. Also see Jeremiah 23, which Empire claimed on July 22, 2018), their readings further about the 'far east' such as Isaiah 42, pertaining to the cry of the woman in the wilderness (John 16, Galatians 4, Romans 8, 2 Timothy 1, Hebrews 2,7, Psalm 29, 1 Thessalonians 5, Job 38, Revelation 7,12,18-19,14). We have already received undeservingly by Godhead that Empire cannot claim this due to Isaiah 22 and Jeremiah 22. Jeremiah 22 tells us: 'write this down', as per the 'muster of the roll call' (Revelation 14): 'Empire shall lose men to seat in the throne of David.' Who hence can seat on David's throne and therefore be in the muster of the roll call? 1. We have Sir Sterling D. Allan, whose father is named David. 2. Remember that Crown Prince David, second in line to King Edward X, is dedicated in my homestate, August 14, 2015. 3. As per our sustaining of Traditionalist Monarchist governments, Austria, meaning 'south' has the Heir-Apparent Prince named David. 4. Of course we have Hart #DavidKoresh. Next Sunday, August 5, Empire would claim Exodus 16. Also we have commemorated #nationaldanceday and on September and October respectively we shall recall #nationalgymnasticsday and #worldballetday. Mother Lindsey as Response through her Spirit rather pointed us all out to Exodus 17. This is due also to the renewed hijack of yokebearers that Lopez-Robertson church is waging, further pressed indeed by co-boarders hindering the endtime Joseph from getting money to do full online work and therefore gather names of B-C list yokebearers to be tagged in blog reposts as clear counter-measure to Empire's lure, bribe and woo of them. Mother Lindsey invoked the following words of Exodus 17 as a clear rallying cry against Empire's hijack of all our fellows and yokebearers, as well as of all our branches and allies- 'write this down (facebook.com/ProphetofGodWritethisDown [Psalm 102]): Godhead will wipe away (Revelation 7,14,21) the Empire from the face of the universe, and that Godhead shall continue keeping on Their Grip over Their Commondominion even as we must keep our grip in Theirs, for Godhead shall continue leading us on in our war as They wage battle against the Empire from generation to generation. (Exodus 20)' Mother Lindsey said that 'we need now more than ever all the punishments and curses pronounced against the Empire in all the Scriptures more so in the Johannine Apocalypse (Revelation 13-14,17-18), specifically in Revelation 8-9,16. They have to stop doing this to our brethren, they altogether indeed deserves and need to be overturned so as for them to stop doing these things. We now need each other now more than ever before to (Isaiah 58) take all these sins (Acts 5) to Empire's face for the Sykes of the First Presidency (Luke 10,17,21) in the most strongest terms that we, or anyone of us, can ever muster. The 3rd Woe must and shall come by #tns6 month, believe me.'

#CONSUMMATUMEST: #ITISDONE, #ITISFINISHED, #COMPLETETHERACE NO MORE (His Majesty the King Edward X Announces New Prophetic Breakthroughs on His July 27, 2018 Address for #iNC50west)

Lest Empire indeed (February 10, 2012) mislead you with their propaganda of achievements, let's take it from a staunch Constantinian local officer, Regalado Delos Reyes, on the false flag of August 27-31, 2015, trying to refer to Diocletianites: 'your strength does not come from God!' This is true indeed we say, but Constantinians too has no true strength from our True and Living Godhead, Who has already left the Empire indeed (Isaiah 54,43, Matthew 25, Psalm 11). Let's quote our fellow Messengers Hart on this topic- first our Anonymous Constantinian Minister: 'The LATE FORMER LEADER of the TRUE CHURCH said that when members of a RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATION begun to question HER DOCTRINES and her PREACHERS begun to question the POLICIES and PRACTICES of the CENTRAL AUTHORITY, SUCH are SIGNS, that the RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATION is beginning to HER DOWNFALL. This is what happened when the TRUE CHURCH entered the CRISIS of LEADERSHIP A FEW YEARS AGO and it still happening and is PRESENTLY GOING TO WORST.' And also, another fellow Messenger Hart, Sir Marlowe Luis Ranola- 'ANG KALIGTASAN AY HINDI PARAMIHAN NG NAIPAGAWANG KAPILYA, SAPAGKAT HINDI HIHIGIT AT GAGANDA PA SA MGA NAIPATAYONG SIMBAHAN NG IGLESIA KATOLIKA. HINDI RIN SUKATAN NG TAGUMPAY ANG DAMI NG KAANIB AT NAGING BUNGA! SAPAGKAT HINDI KA PA HIHIGIT SA BILANG NG MGA KATOLIKO. HINDI RIN SUKATAN SA KALIGTASAN ANG KAISAHAN, REMEMBER ANG TORE NI BABEL? HINDI RIN SUKATAN NG TAGUMPAY ANG DAMI NG AKTIBIDAD NA IPINATUTUPAD SA IGLESIA, ITO AY BUNGA LAMANG NG PAGIGING MALIKHAIN NG TAO. HINDI RIN SUKATAN ANG HABA NG PANAHON, SAPAGKAT ANG MGA HUDYO AT KATOLIKO AY MAY LIBONG TAON NA, NA UMIIRAL. ANG SUKATAN NG KALIGTASAN AY ANG BIBLIYA!' We reiterate that as long as we Hart exist, Empire still has a lot to be thankful for, as much as we atone for all their negligence and blatant blasphemies. We are obeying instead the divine precepts that they refuse to honor (Jonah 1, Acts 27), no other than our Founding Principles. As soon as he began his sermon, His Majesty has announced the significance of the forthcoming days. #buenosaires did a blaspheme of our solemnization of this July 27 civil registration anniversary on July 27, 2012, and 6 years after (Mark 6, Matthew 17), July 29, 2018 marks indeed 70 years to an earlier Empire Summer Games sortie in London, not to mention similar events held on July 28, 1928 (90 years ago, on the European refulfillment of #hillcumorah), July 28, 1984 (a day from the opening of the Constantinian central chapel on the 70th year since July 27, 1914),and July 30, 1932 (80 years from 2012 [Psalm 90]). King Edward X cited one of our fellows, Sir Patrick Scrivner , who identified the Empire's British quarters as an endtime Tyre destined for punishment (Isaiah 30, Amos 1-2). King Edward X mentioned the 70 years in Isaiah 23 and then underscored the 'songs of the harlot' further mentioned there, hence referring to Empire's Baal-raising armies, that Diocletianites has days ago identified to be led by the triad (Revelation 12-22, Jeremiah 7) of Gemma, Jojo and Ramon 'Monching' Dela Cruz-Reyes (his predecessor died on March 22, 2017, an Empire occult day) who imposed the ultimate Baal-raising that there can be- in the closing acclamation (February 10/April 28, 2018 [also see January 27-28,30-31/February 5, 2016]) which they have already made permanent indeed (Hosea 9, Deuteronomy 28) for the sake of pleasing men (1 Thessalonians 4, Colossians 3). It is expected that Empire would lay claims over Revelation 8-9 on July 28-29, 2018. King Edward mentioned that the existence of such Empire workers necessitated a divine revelation that he is going to announce at the end of his lesson, 'for such sins will indeed not cease to exist, even now as I speak, even as I have already spoken, and indeed, woe to anyone who perpetuates such! (Matthew 18, Psalm 121,109, Romans 9) The Commondominion has suffered time and again but this Empire is hopelessly terminal and is indeed not converted (Matthew 18) due to their (Isaiah 3) stubbornness (Isaiah 46). Hence as much as Godhead's already over with this Empire (Documentary History of the Church 3:289-300), an era has already passed too. More on that later. Before that I would like to remind you that the Commondominion do indeed goes forth before you in entering Godhead's Abode (Matthew 3,11,17,21), for they are proving that they are worthy of the gains that they're going to get from me at the end of our study today. They're doing practical faith- faith that matters, faith that works, faith that proves any claims.' (Romans 8,14, James 2) Also it must be noticed that Empire uses Psalm 44 (April 18, 2015, April 22, 2014, December 5, 2017, May 18,26-27, 2018) on their latest processional hymn (printed June 14, 2018) yet they are not penitential as the Psalm indeed implies itself (Psalm 74,79). Further, Psalm 44 (our President Trump is individually the 44th President so evidently Empire hijacks him on his birthday) Old Tagalog Popular Version 1975 renders 'commands victories' as 'give, bestow victories' (Psalm 118). Therefore our true victory is no other than Ka Angel and Ka Ellix (Isaiah 9,46,62, 1 Peter 2, Revelation 6-7,9,16). Edward's words has proven to be prophetic, for later on that afternoon of July 28, 2018 Manila time, Empire's electronic churches played the theme song of Empire's 1984 Summer Games. Now as for chapels, if Antiochians would depict the Constantinian chapels as 'replica of the central chapel', and Constantinians would still refer to their chapels as 'temples', and both Neronians and Constantinians are on respective construction booms, would it make sense that many of us Hart are invoked by Godhead, such as Sir Rene Torlao and the Restored Church of Jesus Christ in the Far East, both the faiths of Prophet Joseph Smith and the Sugo, Felix Y. Manalo?

PROVERBS 4 (October 18, 2014, April 25, 2015, May 22, 2016, February 11/November 18/December 2,23, 2017, April 20,28-29, 2018) Edward made a call for Empire to 'understand the necessities of the Commondominion. They only have nothing but pure and good intentions. Godhead has tolerated us for too long with our sins. Commondominion lies hapless with every contempt that you do against them, they have nothing but love and desire to serve those who need it the most. Besides, Godhead's works are not ours (Psalm 103,50, Isaiah 55, Jeremiah 23, Ezekiel 18), neither we should indeed claim it if we're not going to live by such claim (Job 40, 2 Corinthians 5). Just see this endtime Joseph. He's mentally-challenged (Psalm 34 [August 27, 2016, February 24/March 3-5, 2017, December 19-22, 2013-2014]). You more than often take that for granted, so you cannot blame him for doing what he do, for he received a commission that you cannot even fathom (1 Corinthians 12) out of your falsity. We must understand, said Solomon, the 'counsel' of Godhead, Their secret purposes now being unfolded through their Messengers in the Commondominion. Beside from them we cannot know further what those mysteries are (Matthew 11). We are invited to search out from the Scriptures Itself (Job 28). Acts 17 says such encouraging practice indeed as Acts 17 takes us to where Empire deceived us (Romans 7, Jeremiah 20, Genesis 3) to be the purported truth of the video we all saw on July 14,26-27, 2009. We all thought that was live. No! It was May 10-11,17-18, 1997! (Galatians 1-2) Had it not for the endtime Joseph being the #lonestarstate indeed (Revelation 1-3,7,19,12) from the wilderness (Isaiah 40) we would not know such error enforced by our being caught up with Empire schemes (2 Timothy 2, Exodus 32,14, Numbers 14,16). Therefore we would indeed prove to be (2 Chronicles 29-30,36,15) not helpful to Godhead's cause (John 6, Hebrews 13) if we don't submit to the Commondominion, her leaders, and her principles. Well I say these things for people who would still be willing to be obedient and bend to Sir Wayne Bent of The Lord Our Righteousness Church and her Lady #BendyKate, but as for those of you who are with Gemma, Jojo and Monching and hence destined for the sword, I know that you will not repent. Anyhows, you're going to miss out so much due to your being stiff-necked (Zephaniah 1). Now I would like to go back to pointing out such privileges. Solomon further goes on telling us that we must 'harken' to Godhead. Today we open an Empire chapel. You will claim 2 Chronicles 7 so much on instances such as these, as you would still drag on Godhead to purportedly listen to you when in fact you will not be able to avail such (Matthew 12). Now I tell you back- if we ask Godhead to listen to us and Godhead in turn asks us to listen to Them, Godhead palpably places Themselves in our place, as we're the ones supposed to listen to Them, hence, our exaltation and progression. If I have asked you on years past to make your vows to Godhead (Psalm 50,76, Isaiah 45), and if Godhead makes and does Their promises to Their Chosen as per this Empire's claims, then remember that as much as it must be Godhead, and not man, Who must make promises (Hebrews 6,12, Galatians 4, Acts 7), then you cannot reach this exaltation unless you humble yourselves to listen to what Godhead Asks of you to do (Micah 7)- to yield yourselves unconditionally to the Commondominion Founding Principles (Jeremiah 4). Such yielding do only proves you to indeed harken to Godhead (Matthew 18, 1 Thessalonians 2). You must do it not in preparation for this anniversary, but more so, as preparation for the uncertain and unknown to come in your life (Jeremiah 10, Psalm 37). If you do so, not only will Godhead Send you as Godheads, but it will come with Bonus Package: as much as you're Godhead just like Godhead (Jeremiah 23, Zechariah 3,6), They will likewise Send other people to be your very own Messengers, or Godheads in Godhead just like you (Luke 9,19), and you will in turn exalt them as such (Hebrews 2,7, 2 Timothy 1, Exodus 18). In fact we're also asked to 'focus on the future'. We are implored such on the passages that Empire cannot even find fault with us: DHC 1:302-132,2:420-426.' Moreover, if the Empire's processional from June 14, 2016 would mention the phrase 'the servants in the church', it implies that it is the church, and not Godhead, who has servants, as much as the Commondominion is exalted (Isaiah 62,42, Revelation 1-5,15), since October 22, 1950 (2 Corinthians) through Paul Samuel Leo Johnson (Genesis 49). Of course Empire cannot claim such due to their practices (Hebrews 10-11, Zephaniah, Acts 11,14, James 2, Amos 5-6, Hosea 10). Their practices disqualify them on their claims (1 Corinthians 9), such as benefiting from the 6th Bowl. Edward said that such claims make Empire, particularly in their Lopez-Robertson church indeed, do the sodomite slogan#harikadito, and Edward said that such would be Shattered by us (Revelation 1-5,9,20-21) as per Revelation 6,16,19-20. As Proverbs 4 itself states, we must clear the path ahead for us to the future. Edward further said that his statements might sound indeed Empire, just like the words with which the Empire launched their 'new spring', the 1962-1965 Vatican 2 Council (Revelation 12-13). 'Such Empire scheme launched the yearly horror (Matthew 24, Luke 21, Daniel 9, Mark 13, 2 Thessalonians 2) that is the public recrucifixion rituals of Christ, now better known as#John1828. Of course I hate to be associated with such disgusting woes.' Edward also pointed out that Solomon's pre-existence is usually hijacked by the Neronians of South Korea, the World Mission Society Church of God, product of apostasy led by women who are like Gemma (Jeremiah 50) away from our churches. They also hijack the eschatology surrounding the prophetic direction of the East (1 Kings 11). 'Their refusal to be with us is an utter lost on their part, a liability they refuse to recognize (Revelation 2-3,17-18).' Vatican 2 is south of Europe and is north of the map, World Mission Society is in 'South Korea', north of the map. Ka Erdy on a lecture which he issued in line with the activities of June 9, 1988-July 27, 1989, identified 'north and south' of Isaiah 43 to be the 'left and right' of Isaiah 54, claimed by Empire through Matthew 20 last July 25 and is also mentioned in Proverbs 4 as well as in Joshua 1. Ka Angel and Ka Ellix has already divinely-revealed to us Hart that the 'left and right' can also refer to the East and West. Constantinians are based indeed in Manila (Isaiah 14,19), while Diocletianites are concentrated in United Saints (Isaiah 13,10). Therefore according to Edward, all 4 Empire quarters are identified, and therefore Godhead most solemnly Warns us from entering any of these Empire quarters (Joseph Smith-History 1). We must be in the 'middle ground with Godhead', as we were already saying about 1 Timothy 2 (June 3,9-10, 2018, January 28/February 3-4, 2017, April 23, 2016), where as much as Christ is Mediator, then we indeed must be like Him too. This Edward has explained, through siding with and encouraging stations who chose to stand with Commondominion so as for them to stay such, just like 97.9 mHz Manila and 105.9 mHz fm Manila, who identified themselves as refulfillment, by virtue of their belonging to us Hart, of being the 'center of the universe' referred to in Colossians 1 and Ephesians 1. Further, as per Revelation 7, the 4 angels (Revelation 6-7,9) has both fulfillments in us and Empire, and as per us, one of our Sacred Text Scriptures, 'Shepherd's Rod', in its 5th Tract entitled 'Final Warning', says that the 4 angels in Revelation 9's 6th Trump is bound between a refulfillment of 1260 years- from 538 bce to 1798 cead. We were shocked on this because as we were writing this on the evening of July 28, we were only able by that afternoon to get the phone of my co-boarders after they were away denying us from answering #lutheranleader's weekly reproach against us on July 27-28, 2018. As soon as I was able to get the phone the time flashed 5:38 pm Manila time. We mention the 4 angels for our branch churches who come from our Sir William Branham preaches that the 4 angels gather us from all 4 directions (Luke 17). Sir Marlowe Luis Ranola, which we have mentioned earlier, is one of the fulfillments of our gatherings in all directions (Matthew 24, Isaiah 43), the gathering in the East being done by the Sugo in 1913, the gathering in the West being done by Ka Erdy in 1968, the gathering in the North being done by King Edward X through his many Empire-sent itineraries (Daniel 11, Isaiah 14, Revelation 12), and the gathering in the South (Psalm 126) being done by Sir Ranola, as much as he's working from Italy (Ezekiel 5, Proverbs 3-4). Our branch churches invoking William Miller and Ellen White preaches that there are 4 angels (Acts 2) preaching present truth in the endtimes and that they are related to each other- the Oriental Sealing Angel of Revelation 7 is related to the 3rd Angel of Revelation 14 and the sun-standing angel of Revelation 19, and the angel of Revelation 10 is related to the angel of Revelation 18, Sir Ranola relates the 3rd angel of Revelation 14 to the angel of Revelation 20, and angels in the form of stars are related respectively in Revelation 8-9 and 20 (Revelation 1-5). How can we know that this is true? Remember that Empire distorts histories so we would not be able to find out our need for this Commondominion. Years before July 27, 1968, the present Constantinian church has been maintaining by 1964 a congregation in Guam (see March 23, 2013). At present Empire's building a chapel there so I think they would be doing also a short history article of that locale to prove that we're wrong that Guam is ahead of Hawaii in Constantinian history. (John 16, Acts 17,9) As far as I can recall, the Constantinian locale of Guam was formally organized in 1967 if I'm not mistaken, even as while the Constantinian Hawaii locale begins to organize. Antiochians build on 1967 concerning their cult of their fake Israeli-Palestine state. For something that at least is near to us even only at least by mention, let's consider the following from the very words of the Diocletianites themselves, who refuse to submit to the divine authority of one of our fellow Messengers, Sir David Cayman: 'The Times of the gentiles refers to a dispensation of the gospel to the gentiles; including direct authority from God. When a dispensation ends, it requires a first degree Apostle—Prophet and Lawgiver—to open a new dispensation. The gentiles never received a dispensation of the gospel until about 4,000 years after the fall of Adam. When the Jews rejected the gospel, it went to the gentiles. This was the second phase of the Dispensation of the Meridian of Time. Sadly, they rebelled against the gospel; even as the Jews before them. This first TIMES OF THE GENTILES was to end because they turned heathen again and had only a dead form left. The un-baptized pagan Roman Emperor, Constantine, converted what was left of Christianity in the fourth century to paganism. Constantine was a loyal follower of the sun god. He had conquered Rome by the sword. Then he conquered religion so he would have total power over his subjects. Anyone who did not recognize him as Supreme Ruler was killed or banished. He killed his wife, his first born son, his cousin, and thousands more. Next, he felt that he also had be the Supreme Power over religion. When he reorganized religion, he used the names of the Christians; but, the doctrines of paganism. He rejected the true God of Israel and adopted the pagan doctrine of the Trinity. He rejected Jesus when he adopted the pagan doctrine of demigods. Instead of being of the seed of Abraham, the tribe of Judah, and the house of David—as required by the law of God—Constantine made Jesus the bastard son of a ghost; as Joseph and Mary were married at the time of conception. The seed of man is always carried in the male line. A ghost simply could not beget seed on a physical woman. This first dispensation to the gentiles was officially closed when the Bishop of Rome stood as head of the church--as god--in 570 AD--without authority from God. Authority from God and the gospel were then to be taken from the earth for 1,260 years. Exactly 1,260 years after the end of the first dispensation to the gentiles, the second dispensation was to be opened. “6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people.” (Rev. 14) This was the first phase of the Dispensation of the Fullness of Times—the last dispensation to the gentiles before the return of Jesus. The first in the Dispensation of the Meridian of Time [Israel] was to be last. The last [gentiles] was to be first. And so it was. Exactly 1,260 years after the Bishop of Rome officially closed the first dispensation to the gentiles, Joseph Smith opened the last dispensation to the gentiles on April 6, 1830, when he organized the Church of Christ—with authority from God. Since there was no such authority on the earth, the only way it could return was through angelic administration. And so it was. Joseph was the only man to ever claim to be called of God and ordained under the hands of angels at his time. Joseph received four revelations that in the event of his impending death that he would appoint his successor. "4. But verily, verily, I say unto you, that none else shall be appointed unto this gift [as Prophet] except it be through him [Joseph Smith]; for if it be taken from him he shall not have power except to appoint another in his stead. 5. And this shall be a law unto you that ye receive not the teachings of any that shall come before you as revelations or commandments. 6. And this I give unto you that you may not be deceived, that you may know they are not of me. 7. For verily I say unto you, that he that is ordained of me shall come in at the gate and be ordained as I have told you before, to teach those revelations which you have received and shall receive through him whom I have appointed." (Doctrine and Covenants, Section 43) THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES WAS CLOSED in 1967, after the six day war when Jerusalem was no longer trodden down of the Gentiles. “24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.” (Luke 21) The failure of this second gentile dispensation was also prophesied in the Book of Mormon and in the Doctrine and Covenants. The Book of Mormon: “Wo be unto the Gentiles, saith the Lord God of Hosts! For notwithstanding I shall lengthen out mine arm unto them from day to day, THEY WILL DENY ME.” (2 Nephi 28:2) The Doctrine and Covenants: "28 And when the times of the Gentiles is come in, a light shall break forth among them that sit in darkness, and it shall be the fulness of my gospel; 29 BUT THEY RECEIVE IT NOT; for they perceive not the light, and they turn their hearts from me because of the precepts of men. 30 And in that generation shall the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled." (D&C 45) Joseph was told nine times by revelation that this would be the LAST DISPENSATION TO THE GENTILES. “[19] For thou art called to prune my vineyard with a mighty pruning, yea, even for the last time.” (D&C 24) “[27] Behold, verily I say unto you, that these are the words of the Lord your God: [28] wherefore, labor ye, labor ye, in my vineyard for the last time: for the last time call upon the inhabitants of the earth, [29] for in mine own due time will I come upon the earth in judgment: and my people shall be redeemed and shall reign with me on earth.” (D&C 43) “17] wherefore lay to with your might and call faithful laborers into my vineyard, that it may be pruned for the last time.” (D&C 39) Also see D&C 33:3, 4; 88:84, 90:1, 2; 112.30. SOON THE SECOND DISPENSATION TO ISRAEL WILL BE OPENED. This will include the remnant of gentile saints in this country (Zion). “8 And thou, O tower of the flock [James J. Strang], the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem [July 8, 1850]. 9 Now why dost thou cry out aloud? is there no king in thee [James was murdered]? is thy counselor perished [apostles and high priests are no more]? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail. 10 Be in pain, and labor to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to [spiritual] Babylon; THERE SHAL THOU BE DELIVEREED; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.” (Mic. 4) James J. Strang is to return—resurrected—to gather the saints to a place of refuge before the great desolation. “13. In righteousness shalt thou rule: thou shalt redeem the poor and the needy from suffering and violence; and to thee God giveth judgment for them. Thou shalt deliver the prey from the spoiler; for God, thy God, hath put them in thy hand. 14. And in weakness will he make thee strong. Thou shalt rule among his people. Thou shalt break in pieces the rod of the oppressor, and the yoke of the unjust ruler. They shall flee away, but the way of peace shall they not find. 15. While the day of the wicked abideth, shalt thou prepare a refuge for the oppressed, and for the poor and needy. Unto thee shall they come, and their brethren who are scattered shall come with them; and the destruction of the ungodly shall quickly follow; for it already worketh.” (Book of the Law, p. 171) Then he is to judge the gentile nations who know not God and obey not the gospel. “4. Arise and smite them, O Daughter of Zion; and thou, O Tower of the Flock, whose power is above the clouds, possess thy dominion, and be thou a refuge: for Judah shall be bent, in his strength; as an arrow, Ephraim shall fill him: Manasseh shall be his barb; and Jacob shall be in the midst of the Gentiles, in the empire of nations, as a Lion among the beasts of the forest; as a young Lion in the flocks of sheep, who, when he goeth through, treadeth down and teareth in pieces, and none shall deliver.” (Book of the Law, p. 203, 204) Jesus is to return “8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (2 Thess. 1) What of the other gentiles? “16 For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.” (Obad. 16) “23 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.” (Zech. 8) Israel will once again become the elect of God. They will become His people and He will be their God. Jesus will gather them from the four corners of the earth.' Why we could not indeed trust Empire on subjects such as these? For they themselves would not be trusted in delivery of subjects. For example- • They have not mentioned the reports on the STF Newsletter, one on July 1989, the other on 1995, that Ka Erdy came to the decision of formally organizing his church's overseas missions on June 7, 1968, 'after much prayer and thought and consultation from the Scriptures as well as from Brother Saturnino Ulep (notice that his name implies not only Rizal's very own brethren but also Revelation 10,14), coming to the conclusion that what he's going to do is going to be fulfillment of Isaiah 43:5 and 59:19. • They're even selective on what to report. They may have reported May 1, 2011 but did not mentioned there what was said in the locale history article read, that Edward X was also inspecting Empire properties such as that, save on the July-September 2012 tour where an indirect alluding to such was made in the summarizing article of the STF Official Public Relay Report-Written Version (Hebrews 5-6, 1 Peter 2). Speaking of such tour, STF has now bestowed on the chapel of July 27, 2018 the title that they had once given to the chapels of July 28, 2012 and December 21, 2013. What's confusing in this is that they said that the July 27, 2018 chapel is the 'biggest outside the Philippines' while the chapel of July 28, 2012 (see April 30/May 7, 2017) is 1260-seater in that, while the July 27, 2018 chapel is only 810-seater. As for the December 21, 2013 chapel it is called 'the biggest Constantinian chapel in north United Saints,' the July 28, 2012 chapel being in Europe. The chapels of July 28, 2012 and December 19-22, 2013-2014 are under the Empire's inter-quarter chapel exchange program, while the chapel of July 27, 2018 was constructed by the Constantinians themselves and was not received under said inter-Empire program. In this sense they say said chapel to be the 'biggest' of its own. • Empire is selective on what to recall as prophecy refulfilling (James 2,4, 1-2 Timothy). They have highlighted Edward's sermons of September 7, 2014 recalling July 27, 1994 (see May 13,20-21, 2017), and March 31, 2016 recalling March 31, 1996, but not May 6,13-14, 2017 recalling May 10, 1997. • Why you would even try to cry as you were reading the locale history article? I know two who do so- they oversaw those misfortunate carnages of December 15,18, 2016 against slaying Bible verses- in my locale, and one of them was Rannie Canlas (Revelation 13). It's also evident that as much as he's really the one who's in control, Jun Santos would not read like Empire supervising ministers would- evidently they don’t cry for the rest of the readings but as they end they would try to make it appear that they purportedly cry when in fact it is not. Truly #crypretty, as much as they already apostatized away from us Lady #CarrieUnderwood-Fisher. Also notice, Matt Pareja would not introduce the reader of the dedicatory prayer unlike in the past. Speaking of clearing out our path for being worthy of carrying Revelation 16 (Isaiah 53, Psalm 89), Diocletianites, led by Rolando Dizon, had hijacked days ago Psalm 77 (that remembers the crossing of the Jordan and the Red Sea [July 27, 2014]) just because indeed the endtime Joseph was foretold there (July 9, 2011 [see October 14, 2011 for July 9, 1963: endtime Joseph's father's homestate], where Joel 2 was also read which was also hijacked by Diocletianites on hours past), as well as Matthew 5, Acts 4-5 (read by King Edward X on July 27, 2018 so we can see the blatant attack and blaspheme against our leader), 1 Peter 4 and 2 Corinthians 1. Notice that while they are doing so they also issued a barenaked wallpaper, therefore proving themselves to be guilty of being Shattered by the 6th Bowl of the Johannine Apocalypse (July 27, 1989): 'blessed are they who keep their clothes unstained so that they will not walk naked…' Notice that they are trying to hijack our #GodBigDay with the #lunareclipse as much as we preached about the solar #eclipse last August 21, 2017. The Diocletianites recorded the lunar eclipse over #Hawaii on July 27, 2018 between 9:30 and 11:13 pm Hawaii time. DHC 1:302-312 tells us that before the 7 Trumps there would be the red moon, and Empire hijacks the 7 Trumps on July 28-29, 2018. Notice that after the 1st Trump in DHC 1:302-312 the 25-30 minute silence in heaven was mentioned. We know that this does not only last from November 11, 1918 to September 1, 1939 as the Sugo and Ka Erdy have already told us, but in other refulfillments by us this can also last up to 70 years.#Iceland, ruled for us by His Majesty the King #DylanOBrien, and where our Sir #DouglasBooth received the divine office as our endtime Noah or Gabriel (DHC 1:286-287,2:209-217) as much as it was organized in 1944, 100 years from Joseph Smith's martyrdom and William Miller's Sanctuary Cleansing, records its early history from 930 to 1262 cead. Following the schedule of April 12-23, 1963, our Executive Minister Ka Angel received such office on September 11, 2009, and Lady #JordanClark-Rubio received stewardship of all #Canada (Psalm 72, Zechariah 9, Numbers 23-24) on September 11, 2011. But see Dizon- he just exalts himself and his fanatics are idolizing Ka Mark and other Empire heads, not to mention that they follow Constantinian orders and policies. If Constantinians' idol and wonder (Revelation 13) is the 'annual' lighting of their central chapel (Jeremiah 7), and if Diocletianites wonder after Dizon (Isaiah 3, 1 Corinthians 3, James 3), then the true '#wonder', or rather #wanderlust, as per our Ladies #AlexaAnderson and#LindsayLeuschner, (Isaiah 9) and as per Empire's sensationalizing of mentally-challenged folklores, is no other but Joseph Stirling Steinfeld Sykes, God's Tiny Dancer (Isaiah 49,53, Luke 11, Revelation 11, Acts 8,13)

PHILIPPIANS 3 (February 9, 2013, August 29/September 4, 2015, December 31, 2016, May 6,13-14, 2017, March 11, 2018) It is indeed true that our citizenship is in heaven, but evidently Jun Santos and family has other things in mind. After all, his motto is 'Fight Poverty', and he seems to indeed as per Antiochians, #resist #riseup #riseandresist#resistance the endtime signs, that includes poverty (2 Timothy 3 [October 22-27, 2015, July 20, 2013, January 28/February 4-5, 2017], Amos 6, 1 Thessalonians 5 [August 16, 2014]). Yet on the contrary, Constantinians would make on July 28-29, 2018 a major revamp on their previous claims that 'all the signs has already been fulfilled and we're just only waiting for Christ to come. No major endtime event will happen anymore,' let alone what#bestlifeever #cbnhumanitarian #jesusislord #mcgiweeklythanksgiving states as the 'Great Tribulation' that is already happening between us Hart (Revelation 12, Daniel 12) and the Empire (Revelation 2). Moreover, it seems like the following which we indeed repost below (Deuteronomy 13, Galatians 5) could not come from an old man like Jun Santos, but from a skilled Empire spokesman like Edwil Zabala or someone like STF officials Marlex Cantor, Joel San Pedro or Dennis Lovendino. It can be recalled that Jun Santos' sons has once said that the Constantinian Baal Arena exists to be a showcase of what 'the best the world has to offer.' Below we give you the official public statement of the Constantinian church for July 27, 2018, which they signed under the name of Jun Santos- 'We will celebrate the 50th anniversary of our first church abroad solemnly and joyfully. Our Executive Minister Brother Eduardo V. Manalo has expressed a desire for us to be introspective, to be thankful and to fully contemplate the weight of this momentous occasion while at the same time being mindful of the challenge for continued growth and evangelization. [WHAT RATHER STRUCK US MOST PROFOUNDLY ON THE WORDS OF KING EDWA RD X IS THAT EVEN IF EMPIRE TRIES TO HINDER AND STOP HIM IN ANYWAY- BE IT CONSTANTINIAN POLICIES, OR DIOCLETIANITE INDICTMENTS {2 Corinthians}- HE DOES NOT ALLOW HIMSELF TO BE OVERTURNED BY THOSE, BECAUSE HE DOES NOT DWELL ON HIS OWN PERSONALITY, BUT THAT BECAUSE ACCORDING TO HIM, 'It is indeed the Gospel Lowe which is far more rather important, than me, not me, and that's what I strive to preach, and try to be heard in full by all, without any Empire fetters or fetish.' ONLY TRUE COMMONDOMINION LEADERS LIKE HIM CAN SAY THINGS SUCH AS THAT.] Since September 2009, we inaugurated and dedicated 83 churches in various parts of the world. We never stop reaching out to members who are based abroad, Filipinos and non-Filipinos alike, because the work of God never stops. It reaches beyond national borders. The Iglesia has become more conscious and more aware of the central role that the Church plays in our members’ lives as we grow older and bigger. [THEREFORE TO INSIST THAT YOU'RE THE 'ONE TRUE CHURCH' IS A FORM OF RACE PRIDE, AS IN 'NATIONAL BORDERS'. WE WILL LATER ON QUOTE JUDE THADDEUS 1'S 'STAY WITHIN THE BORDERS OF GODHEAD'S BENEVOLENCE.' SO YOU CAN'T INDEED CLAIM OUR KING EDWARD X FOR YOU RATHER ESPOUSE#FAMILIESBELONGTOGETHER. BUT YOU ADMIT THAT YOU NEED US, AND THAT AS LONG AS YOU EXIST AND INSIST THEN WE HART INDEED WILL STAND IN YOUR WAY? {Deuteronomy 32, Joshua 23} THEREFORE WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE OF 'IGLESIA' AND 'CHURCH'? ON HIS WORD FROM PHILIPPIANS 3, KING EDWARD X PREACHED THAT IF EMPIRE WOULD NOT STOP HIJACKING AND CLAIMING SCRIPTURES AND ARCHIVES, THEN ALL THE MORE SHOULD YOUR COMMONDOMINION OF CHRIST MUST NOT STOP IN INSISTING AND PERSISTING OUR DIVINE BIRTHWRIGHT {Hebrews 12} AND DESTINY AS MANDATED BY OUR CANON. 'Don't let this Empire dictate you on who you are, Commondominion. Your Canon has spoken, does continues to speak authoritatively and will continue to speak so {Daniel 12} on your behalf against the Empire, as long as you allow it to and mean it with all your being {Psalm 119}.'] We try to touch the lives of people, we help in whatever small ways we can. We’re humbled and grateful for the gains of the first fifty years overseas. We’re excited by the challenges of the next fifty. To God be the glory!' [HERE YOU CAN SEE THAT THEY DON’T BELIEVE THAT JUDGEMENT DAY IS NOT TOO FAR. THEY WANT TO STAY LONGER? WHAT ABOUT ALL YOUR CLAIMS, EMPIRE? AS FOR 'CHALLENGES', KING EDWARD SPOKE ABOUT AN ENTIRELY-DIFFERENT CHALLENGE FOR US COMMONDOMINION OF CHRIST FOLKS: 'we must take upon ourselves the challenge of still being humble, meek, gentle, kind and brave even as while we are exalted in progression. Empire has already hijacked#courageandkindness as espoused by the Commondominion's Thespian Fellows, evident proof is that they already won over Lady #LilyJames to Empire's Theatre Workforce #herewegoagain. We must rather muster and gather what is left over of us {Exodus 12} to contend for all who are entrusted to us by Godhead as much as they are being tried by Empire to take away from us {Romans 8, John 16}.']

1 CORINTHIANS 9 (April 26/August 20,24, 2013, November 18/December 2,23, 2017, February 26, 2011, April 21, 2012, June 4, 2016) Former Christian Community Bible of the Filipino Bible 1999 asks us from this passage: 'have you not learned anything from the arena?' (1 Timothy 5, Galatians 5, 1 Corinthians 5, Matthew 13) Edward posed the same question in 2 senses (Revelation 18)- 1. That the Constantinian Baal Arena's opening is recalled on these days, and that Empire claims much from Edward's sermons on this place, not to mention the various sermons that Jun Santos does in this place. It can be recalled as per July 27, 1989 that we refulfilled Revelation 16:12 on December 25, 2017, our actual 104th year of initial gathering, when only a few attended at the Baal Arena on that day while we stole some Central Archives articles by the Prompting of the Hailleey Spirit (1 Nephi 4). 2. That according to Edward himself, 'Americans are avid sportspeople. Therefore many of them are yokebearers, the purpose of existence of the Commondominion of Christ. Hence they should be learning better, for they're the ones whom the Commondominion prioritizes. Godhead Prepared the land of the United Saints as a land of rest, not work, for yokebearers, unlike what Empire imposes unto them.' Carrying over from Proverbs 4's 'counsel', Edward said that 'we prove to indeed learn something from the arena, as in the words of Mother Lindsey, if we do not seek to 'counsel Godhead' (DHC 1:79-80). This does not mean that we must no longer desire the spiritual gift of exaltation and progression to divine commissioning (Ephesians 4, Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 12-14, Isaiah 9,46,62), in fact we are asked to 'run in such a way to win the prize', but it is made #clearishere indeed that those who desire the greater gifts must not misinterpret the 'higher spiritual gifts' to be exalting and promotion of themselves (3 John 1, John 7, Hebrews 5, Isaiah 28-31). Therefore self-control is called for save that we may deceive and be deceived by Empire ideas (Proverbs 4). Concerning 'self-control and temperance' (Acts 21-26, Titus 2 [January 7, 2017]), King Edward X said that 'preparation for races does not only consist of just eating and eating. In the same sense, Empire cannot just take in continually just to its mere self all Archives. It has to share to people, not sparsely nor reluctantly, but fully and wholly, always (Luke 12,16,18), lest they be guilty of being what the Tagalog word for 'just merely and continually eating' (Luke 17, Romans 13) implies: the seed of Cain (Jude Thaddeus 1, Genesis 4,11, 2 Peter 2, Numbers 22, Deuteronomy 13). Exaltation, revelation and commission are the highest things that this Commondominion can muster to give yokebearers (Acts 3), and it is the Commondominion that is the end of all claims by the Empire (Luke 24, John 1, Matthew 4, Acts 10,13, Ecclesiastes 12, Psalm 100). This corresponds to Edward's earlier call that we may 'officiate ourselves' (Ezekiel 14, Deuteronomy 30, Jeremiah 32, 2 Corinthians 5, Revelation 9) or cultivate (Philippians 2 [April 10, 2018]) our inherent potential for exaltation and progression. Unlike Empire's leaning to create tendency in us to do away from such, Edward said that we must not be scared to fully embrace our Godhead-endowed inherent potential for exaltation and progression through your Commondominion of Christ (2 Timothy 1, 1 John 3-4, Galatians 3-4, Romans 8, Colossians 3) for in fact, we are encouraged by 1 Corinthians 9 to 'fight for it' in the face of Empire (Jude Thaddeus 1, Hosea 12-13). The rendering used identified some of the divine offices (Revelation 7,14) that we have Hart being in your Commondominion of Christ and therefore being glorified, transfigured and exalted (Revelation 2-3)- being 'Wonderful Counselors' (Isaiah 9,46,62) and 'Strong/Mighty/Great/Honorable Ones' (Abraham 3, Doctrine and Covenants 138). Godhead Instituted such so as for us to have all our Shattering against Empire to be 'worthwhile, with value', and not all done for 'nothing', that is, for our very own wanton (Isaiah 29-30, Romans 11, John 15, 1 Corinthians 15, 1 Thessalonians 4). Edward said that we must fight for these things over with the Empire 'with the zeal of the Zealots, who counted many of the apostles' (1 Maccabees 2, Isaiah 9,60). With exaltation comes further new understanding that does not discredit, but rather endorse all at the same time, all present truths received from all the ages. Therefore as we run this race, we run (Psalm 119,73, Zechariah 7, Isaiah 59, Proverbs 1) under the bidding of prophetic timelines that is continually updated by all our co-shatterer watchmen Hart so as for us to stay working not by our own initiative, but by the Close Supervision of our Godhead (Hebrews 5-7). We must understand some things concerning running 'in such a way to win the prize': 1. It is only Hart that you can indeed 'win the prize', because we have many branch churches Hart named 'way' or 'gate'. (John 10,6,14) This Empire cannot even do (Job 22, Proverbs 3, Haggai), for even the rendering of 1 Corinthians 9 used states that we must not do the good warfare of the faith (Daniel 6, Hebrews 10, Revelation 7) just for 'a blue ribbon or a gold medal.' The problem is that Constantinians, through their media team, the Special Task Force, has adopted the colors blue and gold as the exact official insignia colors of their version of our commemoration this year of the events of July 27-August 18, 1968. 2. STF once wrote that 'to end well, you must start well, more so in marriage.' Of course we're Godhead's Family Corporation Sole, married to Christ. Yet many of our martyrs in history, identify themselves to be 'married to Christ in spirit.' Many of them are female, therefore implying the new and everlasting Gospel Lowe of celestial marriage. Many of them are male- knowing that there are Female Members indeed in Godhead. If they might not have meant that but instead referred to be 'married to the Male Christ', they are rather seen in all who are under our Yokebearer Inclusion Policy. 3. Our fellow-in-exile under Diocletianites say that King Edward X did Daniel 11 when he succeeded King Edward IX upon martyrdom as fellow-in-exile under Constantinians. Neronians say that our St. Adolf Hitler got his position in a similar mean. Our Prophet Jeremiah states that Godhead can 'cheat' (Jeremiah 20) but cannot lie (Titus 1). This, Neronians has also hijacked claiming 'Theocratic Warfare.' Theo? James? Jacob? Genesis 27, therefore Sir #TheoJames, Lady #DrewJacoby-Pronk, and King James VII. Are not all of us whom you have kidnapped, Empire, are also 'living a lie'?  

1 THESSALONIANS 5 (October 22,28-29, 2017, September 24/October 13, 2013, July 20, 2018, May 29, 2015) Can Empire, most especially the triad of Gemma, Jojo and Monching, claim this new theme from King Edward X? let's consider the following- this is no better than the theme from Romans 12 announced on January 19, 2016 and adopted from December 13, 2013 and August 8, 2015. If there's 'spiritual fervor' there's also 'spiritual terrorism'. Empire can give this (2 Corinthians 4, Romans 16, 2 Peter 2, Jude Thaddeus 1, Philippians 1) but (1 Peter 2, Hebrews 5-6) Godhead can also give so (Jeremiah 8, Nehemiah 4, Exodus 34, Job 3-4). In such a sense, when we say 'fire' this can also refer to punishment (Daniel 8, Jeremiah 22,12-13). In other words, we must not #resist punishments from Godhead. Empire resists against us of course, but we just simply almost can't (James 4, 1 Peter 5). If Hailleey Spirit has a fire, Prophet Joseph Smith has related this to Proverbs 6, a term that is supposed to be only for the Empire yet of course we're told to retain zeal from Godhead (Isaiah 9,46,60) to the point of jealousy (James 4, 1 John 4-5, John 10,17,6, Moises 4) so as for us to indeed retain exaltation and glorification as Godheads in Godhead. Empire cannot claim this anymore as much as they're expected to delete claims such as this, like what they did with Romans 12 on July 19-20, 2017. such deletion of claims cannot be seen in us (John 18,1,5-10), for we rather open ourselves to further new light and fresh present truths (DHC 1:158-163)- notice that the rendering of 1 Thessalonians 5 used here refers to Ephesians 3 that was read on September 30/October 7-8, 2017. September 30 is the anniversary of the bequeathing of the Johannine Apocalypse to the Apostle John by divine revelation. 1 Thessalonians 5 contains the instruction to 'not hinder any revelation from Godhead.' #mcgiweeklythanksgiving does the extinguishing of the Spirit through hoarding the Central Archives. #pbtg does that also through recognizing other leaders than what is already determined by Godhead-no other than Ka Angel. On the side of #iglesianicristo they continually wax pabebe, Baal-raising and mundane testimonials in exchange for authentic primitive worship experiences. Concerning Apostle John King Edward X said that 'the apostles continue to give and hand down instruction from us, just like the martyrs, just like the prophets. They are all alive and resurrected and now in heaven, cheering us on. Empire cannot claim therefore that man upon death cannot go immediately to heaven. Diocletianites has already pointed that out when their fellow Constantinians began claiming Ephesians 2 since June 3,9-10, 2017. I feel sorry for the Commondominion because they're the ones supposed to do so, but they were rather edged out by Diocletianites on that scoop. Further, Diocletianites also claim that they purportedly chastise our leaders. Whatever these Diocletianites say, I don't believe, for they are with Empire. Anything that they can say is not definitely divine revelation. Whatever that Commondominion says is exactly always divine revelation. Diocletianites simply cannot prove their claims.' Further, when we allow Godhead's punishments to us, we prove that we indeed are worthy of Godhead's Adoption. Virtually when we allow ourselves to be 'punished', eventually we allow the lifespan of the church to end (Psalm 31) if we belong to the Empire. According to Edward, had Empire agreed to this, which means they must give in to us, Empire could have been by now true martyrs like what they claim not in fake terms against us as much as they're the ones killing our brethren.

ROMANS 12 Philippians 1 was quoted as it was on February 3, 2018: 'do not fail in your duties'. (Psalm 137) Philippians 2 was also quoted, that we must 'light up' (Matthew 5, John 8,12). Who is rather worthy of all of these? They who 'do not lack zeal'. How? They have many seals more than one. As Edward has said earlier, they do not refuse to take in further new present truths. We have already found out from the Sugo and Ka Erdy that Hailleey Spirit is the Superior Seal of Godhead, while William Miller and Ellen White teaches to us that the Sabbath is another Seal of Godhead, while King Edward X on May 10, 2013 (see April 12, 1973) tells us that people themselves can be the Seal of Godhead (Song of Solomon 8)- specifically Mother Lindsey and all yokebearers/fellows (1 Corinthians 9, 2 Corinthians 3). Concerning this Edward reiterated his point on April 10, 2018 that continually receiving new present truths is not in any violation of Revelation 22/Deuteronomy 4,12-13/1 Corinthians 4, but that rather in obedience to these, because the more sides of eschatology that we know, the more we shall be cautious in Check and Balance not indeed to wax proud and arrogant in our actions that result from our devotion (Hebrews 4). Such pride and arrogance (Proverbs 3-4, Matthew 16,18) stems (Matthew 13) from the wrong opinion that your take of eschatology is the only approved and binding version of eschatology that there can ever be (Revelation 7). The rendering of Romans 12 used here uses the term 'God' for what other versions rather print as 'Lord'. (Jude Thaddeus 1) 'Lord' can also mean 'Baal' for Empire, therefore the need and charge for further caution, discernment and vigilance that we may not taint our supposed service with Baal-raising and the like. Edward even said this- 'Baal-raising, pabebe waxing, Archives-hoarding, will never, ever get you exalted to Godhead, for such are not works of Godhead, but only of the Empire.' (Ephesians 5, Romans 16, Colossians 3, Hosea 2)

ISAIAH 62 (March 31/April 5/June 14/October 15-16,30/November 26, 2016, August 8/September 20-21, 2015, May 9/July 23-24, 2014, September 24, 2013, January 16, 2006, May 4, 2005) What is referred to Hart in this prophecy is 'Zion'. Can Empire though claim so as per Hebrews 12? Remember that King David even used the same words for another different place- Bethlehem (Psalm 132). Alma 7 said that Jerusalem is a Bethlehem and Bethlehem is a Jerusalem. The endtime Bethlehem is (Galatians 4) our allies, particularly Russia where our martyrs were slain on July 12,17-18, 1918 as per Jeremiah 31 and Matthew 2 (Revelation 14,6-7). Neronians, who now besiege our Russia, hijack the discourse that Christ visited the earth in 1918. Matthew 25 tells us that those who feel asleep- the 'fools'- before He came eventually were left out to be martyred, according to Jane Lythgoe. Of course this is not Empire (Hosea 9), because the Russian Orthodox Church refers to the Commondominion as 'fools for Christ' therefore they are asleep in Christ and now has been resurrected in heavenly glory. Also as much as Zion is the church, Russia's 'Czar' is the same as 'Caesarea Philippi' where Christ Pronounced His formal registration of His Commondominion in Heaven in Matthew 16. 'Philippi' includes 'Philippines' where of course as per Empire claims, the Sugo registered the church. Godhead Told the endtime Joseph on September 13, 2015 that Russia is the new Far East (Psalm 19,57,60,108-109,104-105) who carries the spirit of the Commondominion of Christ brought out from the Constantinians at that time, and who will be brought out from the Diocletianites eventually. 'Israel once became Godhead's Nation, yet we can learn much from their days with the Commondominion. In the same sense Constantinians and Diocletianites are no longer Godhead's nations just like the Antiochians and Neronians, yet Commondominion has learned so much from all of them. This is the build-up to the dispensation of the fullness of times. Of such times Joseph Smith said, 'Zion shall be redeemed in due time.' That due time was nonetheless one year ago, when we finally broke with the latest Empire quarter. We have everything we need to know and hence use in the full furnishing (Matthew 12,24-25, Hebrews 3,11) of the #ArtemisHouse of Godhead in these last days, which is of course, undeservingly by Godhead, us. This brings exaltation to us (1 Peter 2) to stand at moon, be Suns of Justice and stars of wrighteousness (Psalm 19,57,60,108-109,104-105). In fact this passage is quoted in the now famous lecture of Ka Erdy about the relation of the office of Elijah in restoration to renewal of life (Matthew 17, Acts 3-4). Surely Empire is not like that for their refusal of our Founding Principle (Ezekiel 8, Genesis 3, Revelation 8-9,16,6, Job 31, Psalm 127,130, Isaiah 21-22,14,48,57). They try claiming to be Elijah, even Elisha (July 29/June 10, 2018), in fact they have kidnapped messengers and yokebearers (2 Timothy 2) away from us (Mark 1,6,9), but remember that Commondominion messengers are not such unless they indeed speak up and let themselves be heard (Jeremiah 26, Isaiah 58). In fact when Isaiah 62 says that we must not shut up, Empire does otherwise pertaining to the Central Archives. If Empire does not shut up, they rather raise up Baal-how can Empire claim unity and brotherhood if Gemma-Jojo-Monching is imposing Baal-raising for all Empire locales when in fact only some locales would fully give themselves to that blaspheme while others would not fully do so, if not their organists? Why in the first place then (1 Corinthians 4,7,11,14) would the Baal triad (1 Peter 1,4-5) would impose and insist themselves to the brethren (3 John 1) with Baal-raising that evidently would not be afforded by all (1 Peter 1, Acts 15) neither would even bring us closer to Godhead? (Romans 14) Evidently Empire with their stubbornness on these matters (Matthew 23) has utterly lost true worship (Psalm 100,95,81, Ecclesiastes 12). As for our Russian Orthodox brethren, they were able to reestablish their congregation in the Philippines in an act of restoration on September 18, 2014, the Nate-al day of the sister of the endtime Joseph, as well as of our Prophet David Cayman, 100 years since July 27, 1914.

ACTS 2 (July 10, 2015, January 20,26-29/March 24, 2018, July 9/December 13, 2013, April 22, 2014, November 16, 2012, November 22, 2011) In fact, Empire does all these things because they do not have 'discipline' as expected of those who are children of Godhead by virtue of prophecy (Isaiah 43, Romans 8): 'the promise is for…your children', as the passage also states (Deuteronomy 32, Hebrews 12, Revelation 3, Luke 15, Psalm 32,94, Job 5, Lamentations 3, James 4, 1 Peter 5). Edward therefore remarked, 'what's the use hence of all Empire-owned and operated chapels, although how old, historic, big, prophetic or symbolic they may be, if Empire owns all of these and therefore tarnishes them with the kind of worship that Godhead does not deserve?' (Jeremiah 7-8) Notice that some renderings of Acts 2 depict our gatherings as 'parties' or 'celebrations'. Of course Empire misconstrue this to rationalize either their Baal-raising or their #hillsong#bethelmusic (Galatians 5, 1 Corinthians 1,3, James 3). But we know that Diocletianites nowadays had been hijacking Acts 2 too. In fact they might also claim that they're also convening in 'home churches' like what Acts 2 states. This, King Edward X has addressed through saying the following- first if we convene in home churches remember that this symbolizes us being Godhead's Artemis House in the Spirit. Hailleey Spirit is Promised in Acts 2, hence Ka Angel and Ka Ellix. Instead, Diocletianites, or the 'True Church of Christ-Small Remnant/Defenders', has instead chose Ka Mark, Rolando Dizon, Jojo de Guzman and the Antiochian/Neronian heads. Speaking of women, we understand that Diocletianites does not like Constantinian women, and so do we, but there are also Diocletianite women, so as you can see, there are Female Leaders and Godhead Members Hart, like Lady House (Luke 12,21). Remember that if we refuse to unite with Mommy Tenny then we are worthless before Godhead (John 15, Ezekiel 19, 1 Corinthians 15, 1 Thessalonians 4, Revelation 14), but because Diocletianites claim her too, such unity can only be binding if you unite with the endtime Joseph (Psalm 80, Matthew 26, Genesis 49, Daniel 12, 1 Thessalonians 4). Why with him? Because Edward mentioned how zealous is the Commondominion against Empire's media hypocrisy, particularly in the Lopez-Robertson church claiming Scriptures for over 42 minutes a week and then doing all their godless and ungodly schemes for the rest of the week (Revelation 8,13). Commondominion rather does worship every day and hour (Psalm 84,74,35). Empire cannot claim this, for even if Diocletianites claim services for long hours (Matthew 23) or even on days like Monday-Tuesday and Friday (Constantinians), even insisting either the Sabbath (Neronians) or its end (Antiochians), it was only the Commondominion who points out that Sabbath and Sunday the Lord's Day are equally complimented (Isaiah 56) and that as per 'the first day of the week' in modern language, Monday is supposed to be the day for worship unlike Empire's usual propaganda for such day. Not to mention that we Hart keep a lot of calendars, even does our various own, and hence, Godhead-sanctioned holidays not based by country borders, but by remembrance (Acts 10) of the need for us of all yokebearers in all nations. Diocletianites cannot claim receiving the spirit of prophecy as well as baptism for repentance even if they could have received from us the '4-group' discourse of Acts 2:39 Rieu Translation when we Hart were still with them, neither can Neronians claim Acts 2:38 (Song of Solomon 8) or even Constantinians, much less Antiochians who invoke Genesis 11 for this, for as we can see in Acts 2- there are in fact 5 groups of people who shall receive the Holy Spirit- 1. To all flesh 2. Your children 3. Your young adults 4. Your elderly 5. To all Our Slaves Not to mention that numbers 2 and 3 are divided to 2- 'men and women'- so must the elderly too, hence over 7 to 8 (Revelation 17-Empire; Lady #AljonaSavchenko/Cross and Companions/Mother Eugenia Ravasio-Commondominion). But as per 5, what do you think would be coming out from the 4 Empire quarters? Yea, undeservingly by Godhead, no other than us Wright Hart Alline in your Commondominion of Christ (Revelation 7). And Diocletianites cannot even claim this to be indeed fulfilled in them, for even the Neronian New World Translation 1984 Tagalog Edition implies that the Spirit shall be given not in full, but in 'some' portions. Hence the fullness of grace, times and truth is not in the Empire (Daniel 7, John 1). Besides, December 30-31, 2015 lesson implies Isaiah 32- 'till the Spirit be Given to us #fromonhigh.' December 31, 2015 is endtime Joseph's 20th Nate-al day (Revelation 8). 'From on high' is from Acts 1, prophecy given through Prophet James Muir. 'Spirit' and 'Given' are names of Ka Angel (Revelation 19), yet a Brighamite photographer uses much the term 'From On High'. As per Brighamite claims therefore, all promises of Godhead concerning Ka Angel, and yea, Mommy Tenny, even in King Edward, are all fulfilled in the endtime Joseph (Acts 7, Galatians 4, 1 Timothy 2, Psalm 139). Further, as much as Godhead Promised the Hailleey Spirit, whose fervor we must not indeed extinguish, King Edward X only underscores the statement already done by Prophet Joseph Smith that the Hailleey Spirit can Give impressions but not for to long, (Answers to Gospel Questions 2:151) therefore (2 Peter 1) we must make it permanent and imbedded (Hebrews 12) in our lives (Doctrines of Salvation 1:48). This is evident whenever Empire grudgingly (2 Thessalonians 2) admits something complimentarily about us, or whether they agree to somehow (Isaiah 26) give in to our conditions (Teachings of the Presidents of the Church 1:113). Empire must indeed surrender to us lest they be indeed guilty of martyring further the Hailleey Spirit (Ephesians 4, Matthew 12, Psalm 139, Isaiah 63) personified by us Hart (John 1, Ephesians 6, Hebrews 4, Revelation 11).

ACTS 5 (July 27, 2014, May 13,20-21, 2017, June 29, 2013, July 23, 2016) Edward (Psalm 4) underscored that if Commondominion folk in biblical times have believed that Judgement Day is not far behind in their generation therefore had given their all and their best, then the Commondominion now brought forth in the dispensation of the fullness of times after a long, emotional process of learning through 4 Empire quarters, who is much more nearer to Judgement Day (Matthew 24,16-17), must even work their hardest by Godhead's Enabling and Enflaming Grace, not fearing the Empire who rather seeks to scare them away from doing the Wiles of Godhead Who sent them (Luke 12, Philippians 1). With this Edward again invoked the prophetic directions as per near and far (Ephesians 2, Isaiah 46,62,40,48,57), east and west (Isaiah 41-43,24,59,51,49, Daniel 12, 1 Corinthians 10, 2 Chronicles 29), as much as there is one Commondominion of Christ existing through time (Ephesians 4, 1 Corinthians 1-2,12, Romans 12, 1 Peter 4) amidst various stages, phases and sections. 'Those who were in biblical times looked from afar (Hebrews 11) yet worked as if they're there (Deuteronomy 34). We are not competing against such effort, rather we must prove to be worthy of those toils (Philippians 2, 1-2 Thessalonians, 2 Timothy 2, John 16, Psalm 48,18, Habakkuk, Romans 8) therefore, we must be wary so that it may not be said that we who are actually the nearest in time and space to the conclusion of the present wicked system of things were rather far in our efforts (2 Peter 1), being caught in stagnancy and complacency as Empire disseminates (Romans 2). We will be accountable to the Godhead served to by those who went before us, and those who will be after us Godhead Willing shall look up to how (2 Kings 15, 1 Kings 15) we worked in this, our present time, for the Commondominion.' Primarily Commondominion folk in biblical times were in the Middle or Near East, but eventually spread to other places of the world as Sacred Text Scriptures attests. Now we who are in the endtimes hearing eschatology claims of Empire over Far East and Far West are now scattered (James 1, 1 Peter 1, Doctrine and Covenants 138) #acrosstheuniverse (Luke 1, Jeremiah 15, Psalm 106, Joel, Haggai, 1 Peter 5, Ecclesiastes 3, Ezekiel 3,10-16) but is now called to gather in our respective #GodBigDay Gathering Places of Safety (Ezekiel 17,34,36-37, Jeremiah 3-4,29-33, Amos 9, Acts 3, Isaiah 56, Luke 12, Proverbs 31, Job 38, Revelation 14). The problem though is that Constantinians also hijack this passage, more so on a July 27th. So to Shatter such claims, Edward issued this question to his Empire audience: 'how many of you are rich? I'm sure Empire would try to make it appear that chapels such as this are not built by a one-time-big-time source such as them but in fact, it is. For them to say that such enabling source as them purportedly comes from Godhead is one thing, to prove it in their very actions is another, for Godhead does not play hypocrite to fit in with Empire (2 Corinthians 7). Besides, Empire does not want anyone of you to be rich. If they want so, they rather want you to be rich without Godhead, that is, you over-mis-dis-abuse Lady #JessicaRichens and Companions (Luke 12, 2 Corinthians 8-9).'  

Romans 13 (August 14, 2010, August 20/April 26/July 9/June 9/December 13/February 9, 2013, December 20, 2014, October 25-26, 2017)

Usually, Empire would claim this passage with the rendering that states that this present evil age sees 'Godhead's Finishing Touches in the Work of Salvation'. Empire even once claimed on September 2015 that they themselves are the ones referred to in said phrase as purportedly such. To such one of our Monarchs Designates, His Majesty the King#SkandarKeynes (Matthew 16,18), has once said in Shattering Response that the phrase rather means that Godhead has already been finished, or stopped, touching, holding or keeping grip in the Empire, unlike what Empire claims that Godhead still purportedly holds them up, as per their claims too of our fellows such as Sir #ShaneHarper. But in his July 27, 2018 sermon, King Edward X declared authoritatively that the time of that 'Finishing Touches' has already passed on in that date. In fact he never used said rendering in this instance, but rather used other renderings. To illustrate this he invoked our very own Charles Taze Russell who declared on October 2, 1914, months after the Sugo registered the Constantinian church with the Empire, that the culmination of the 'times of the Gentiles' was refulfilled on October 1, 1914. King Edward also invoked His Majesty the King James VII preaching about #unfinishedbusiness (John 10), and said that as much as he's up into another album this year #ns2, 'we can safely say that such business is virtually closed indeed and that it is as in His Majesty's words as well as that of our other fellows at #whydontwe, 'only the beginning'.' (Eter 8, Matthew 18, John 8, 1 John 5, Ezekiel 9). From this Edward referred to Ka Angel's declaration upon our Second Exodus and Relaunch from the Diocletianites on July 27, 2017, that we have just fulfilled at that instance the 7th Bowl of Revelation 16, a carry-over from the 6th Bowl on July 27, 1989, a total of four times of 7. Our formal and full coming into existence is declared by the words, 'it is done'. 'In this sense therefore, we recall today that 7th Bowl, and with that we say that Godhead has already finished the preparing (John 14) of everything (Matthew 25) that we expect to see (Hebrews 10-13,3) at the dawn of eternity. Our race has been virtually completed. We have nothing to do now (Ephesians 2, Exodus 15) but to continually check up on ourselves as followup (2 Corinthians 13) and wait for new (Luke 17) divine pronouncements as we only have to wait the dawn of the Millennium to be brought about by immediate subsequent events. This explains why we now ask the Commondominion to make 1 Thessalonians 5 as their current theme of activities.' Edward further referred to John 19, whose Empire's claims over such passage has King James VII Shattering those through his 'Unfinished Business'. Edward used John 19:14, as per July 27, 1914, to imply a product of the already-done 'finishing touches'. Our William Miller and Ellen White depicted Christ's Second Coming as the Stroke of Midnight, while our Sir Arsenio T. Ferriol used the picture of the Break of Dawn. Edward rather used the image of High Noonday, 12 pm. St. Pontius Pilate 'presented' and introduced Christ to the gathered Empire mob, '#eccehomo'. The 'finishing touches' that Christ went through before that were rather brutal, violent and not appropriate to Him at the hands of Empire mob, just like how did they claimed this on September 2015. As per October 1-2, 1914, Edward , in the style of the endtime Joseph, referred to the Neronians' hijack of the Johannine Apocalypse, 2006 edition, whose parts used in the sermon are reprinted in full below, with Edward's subsequent inspired remarks (Matthew 28)-

' Let us return to the description of Jesus. His fiery feet are upon the earth and the sea, over which he now exercises full authority. It is just as stated in the prophetic psalm: “You [Jehovah] also proceeded to make him [Jesus] a little less than godlike ones, and with glory and splendor you then crowned him. You make him dominate over the works of your hands; everything you have put under his feet: small cattle and oxen, all of them, and also the beasts of the open field, the birds of heaven and the fish of the sea, anything passing through the paths of the seas.” (Psalm 8:5-8; see also Hebrews 2:5-9.) This psalm was completely fulfilled in 1914, when Jesus was installed as King of God’s Kingdom and the time of the end began. Thus, what John sees here in vision applies since that year.—Psalm 110:1-6; Acts 2:34-36; Daniel 12:4. DO YOU recall the sworn declaration by the strong angel recorded at Revelation 10:1, 6, 7? He stated: “There will be no delay any longer; but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to blow his trumpet, the sacred secret of God according to the good news which he declared to his own slaves the prophets is indeed brought to a finish.” Jehovah’s due time has arrived for the sounding of that final trumpet! How is it, then, that the sacred secret is brought to a finish? John is truly overjoyed to inform us! He writes: “And the seventh angel blew his trumpet. And loud voices occurred in heaven, saying: ‘The kingdom of the world did become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will rule as king forever and ever.’” (Revelation 11:15) Those angelic hosts have reason to speak loudly, even in thunderous tones! For this historic announcement is of universal importance. It is of vital concern to all living creation. The sacred secret comes to its happy climax! Gloriously, magnificently, it is brought to a triumphant finish in 1914 when the Lord Jehovah enthrones his Christ as associate King. Acting for his Father, Jesus Christ takes over active rulership in the midst of an enemy world of mankind. As the promised Seed, he receives Kingdom power in order to bring to nothing the Serpent and his brood and restore paradisaic peace to this earth. (Genesis 3:15; Psalm 72:1, 7) As Messianic King, Jesus will thus fulfill Jehovah’s Word and vindicate his Father, “the King of eternity,” who must rule as Sovereign Lord “forever and ever.”—1 Timothy 1:17. [EDWARD X- THIS IS VERY RELEVANT TO OUR COMMEMORATION OF THE EVENTS OF JULY 27, 1914. THE 'SECRET' REFERRED TO HART WILL BE EXPLAINED LATER ON. THIS IS DEPICTED AS THE 7 THUNDERS. NOTICE ALSO THAT THE NERONIANS OF WARWICK, NEW YORK, BETTER KNOWN AS THE WATCHTOWER SOCIETY, WERE AT FIRST INFILTRATED BY EMPIRE UPON THE ENTRY OF JOSEPH RUTHERFORD. HIS APOSTASY WAS FULLY ARRESTED UP TO THIS DECADE {2 Thessalonians 2}, WHEN THE WATCHTOWER SOCIETY WAS FULLY APOSTATIZED UPON THEIR LAUNCH OF THEIR BEAST MARK- THEIR LOGO WEBSITE. HOW THE NERONIANS IDENTIFIED THEMSELVES PARTICULARLY THEIR FELLOWS IN SAID EMPIRE QUARTER, TO BE APOSTATE ALREADY AT THIS PRESENT AGE: 'So severe was this plague on Christendom that after the two witnesses had prophesied for 42 months in sackcloth, Christendom used her worldly influence to have them ‘killed.’ John writes: “And when they have finished their witnessing, the wild beast that ascends out of the abyss will make war with them and conquer them and kill them. And their corpses will be on the broad way of the great city which is in a spiritual sense called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was also impaled. And those of the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will look at their corpses for three and a half days, and they do not let their corpses be laid in a tomb. And those dwelling on the earth rejoice over them and enjoy themselves, and they will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those dwelling on the earth.”—Revelation 11:7-10. This is the first of 37 references in Revelation to a wild beast. In due course we will examine this and other beasts in detail. Suffice it to say for now that “the wild beast that ascends out of the abyss” is of Satan’s design, a living political system of things.—Compare Revelation 13:1; Daniel 7:2, 3, 17.' NOTICE THE NUMBER 37- THIS IMPLIES THE PRIMARY NERONIAN TV CHANNEL IN THE PHILIPPINES, OWNED BY ELISEO SORIANO. ANOTHER NERONIAN TV STATION IN MANILA IS NUMBERED 45. COMMONDOMINION'S PRESIDENT TRUMP IS RECKONED BY EMPIRE MANDATE AS '45TH' AS MUCH AS EMPIRE'S GROVER CLEVELAND {Isaiah 65} BECAME 'THE BEAST THAT WAS AND IS NOW NOT AND WILL BE' WHEN HE RETURNED TO POWER AFTER AN INTERLUDE {Revelation 13,17,20,9}. BUT INDIVIDUALLY PRESIDENT TRUMP'S THE 44TH SINCE WASHINGTON, BUT COMMONDOMINION RATHER RECKON FROM THE CONTINENTAL CONGRESS PRESIDENTS, SO EVIDENTLY PRESIDENT TRUMP'S NOT LIKE OBAMA WHO IS BOTH IN EMPIRE'S RECKONING AND SPIRIT THE 44TH PRESIDENT. IN THIS SENSE WE TAKE UP THE EMPIRE'S STEAD IN ATONEMENT {2 Timothy 2, Colossians 1, 1 Peter 1,4} TO EXPOSE THAT NERONIANS ARE INDEED SINISTER, FOR 44 IS AN EMPIRE NUMBER. ANOTHER PART OF EMPIRE'S APOSTASY INDEED IS TO PREVENT US FROM REBUKING THEM. WE REBUKE EMPIRE, PARTICULARLY THEIR RELIGIOUS PARTS, NOT THROUGH ADVANCING THEIR VERY OWN OTHER IDENTICAL POLITICAL PARTS, WHICH RETAINS IMMORALITY AND SECULARITY {Matthew 21-22} JUST LIKE WHAT DIOCLETIANITES DO, BUT RATHER THROUGH RECEIVING DIVINE COMMISSIONING AND FRESH NEW REVELATION FROM GODHEAD. THIS, DIOCLETIANITES ALSO ABHOR. BUT FOR THE NERONIANS {Psalm 50}, THEY REALLY CANNOT ESCAPE {Job 37} THE REALITY OF US DOING SO NOT ONLY AGAINST THEM, BUT ALSO AGAINST OTHER EMPIRE QUARTERS. WE KNOW NERONIANS FOR PROHIBITING ANYONE TO RECEIVE 'GENERAL REVELATION FOR THE CHURCH AND HER LEADERS', AND THEY EVEN INDICTED US DOING SO AS PURPORTED 'SCHISM', BUT IN THEIR VERY OWN WORDS, CONTINUAL PROPHESYING IS REALLY NECESSARY FOR THE COMMONDOMINION: 'While John is waiting for the blowing of this seventh trumpet and the bringing to a finish of the sacred secret of God, he is given a further assignment: “And the voice that I heard out of heaven is speaking again with me and saying: ‘Go, take the opened scroll that is in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the earth.’ And I went away to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll. And he said to me: ‘Take it and eat it up, and it will make your belly bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.’ And I took the little scroll out of the hand of the angel and ate it up, and in my mouth it was sweet as honey; but when I had eaten it up, my belly was made bitter. And they say to me: ‘You must prophesy again with regard to peoples and nations and tongues and many kings.’”—Revelation 10:8-11. What a shock for those persecutors! The corpses of the two witnesses were suddenly alive and active again. It was a bitter pill for those clergymen to swallow, the more so since the Christian ministers whom they had schemed to put in prison were free again, later to be fully exonerated. The shock must have been even greater when, in September 1919, the Bible Students held a convention in Cedar Point, Ohio, U.S.A. Here J. F. Rutherford, recently released from prison, stirred conventioners with his talk “Announcing the Kingdom,” based on Revelation 15:2 and Isaiah 52:7. Those of the John class began once again to “prophesy,” or preach publicly. They advanced from strength to strength, fearlessly exposing Christendom’s hypocrisy.' ANOTHER PROOF OF THE NERONIAN'S APOSTASY AGAINST US IS THEIR HYPOCRITIC LURING AND WOOING OF THE RANK AND FILE OF PRESIDENT TRUMP YET AT THE SAME TIME ISSUING THIS STATEMENT AGAINST HIM AS QUOTED FROM ONE OF THEIR MEMBERS, ANTMAN COOKIE, POSTED ON HIS SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT ON JUNE 15, 2018: 'The US Declaration of Independence states, in part: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." With those words in mind, some ask: 'Does the term "all men" apply to undocumented immigrants?' A sonnet by Emma Lazarus, dedicated to the Statue of Liberty says: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” However, recently, the US Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, stated regarding undocumented immigrants: "Persons who violate the law of our nation are subject to prosecution. I would cite you to the Apostle Paul and his clear and wise command in Romans 13 to obey the laws of the government because God has ordained them for the purpose of order. . .Orderly and lawful processes are good in themselves and protect the weak and lawful." Politicians often quote the Bible to support a political agenda. Yet, would politicians acknowledge that human governmental authority comes, not from God, but from "the dragon," Satan the Devil? (Revelation 13:4) Consider: Because God allows something to exist, for a time, does not mean He approves of it, nor instituted it. So, what does Romans 13:1 mean, when it says: "The existing authorities stand placed in their relative positions by God"? This verse helps Christians understand that human governmental authority is relative, meaning superceded by God's authority. Hence, Jesus stated: “Pay back Caesar’s things to Caesar, but God’s things to God.” (Mark 12:17) Remember, Jesus was tried and put to death by the government of his time. Therefore, human legal systems do not administer true justice. Logically, then, human governmental authority is not absolute, nor its rulings always in accordance with God's will. Thus, whether a person is a documented citizen, or not, real Christians do "what is good toward all. . .especially toward those related to us in the faith." (Galatians 6:10)' THESE NERONIANS DON'T EVEN THINK THAT THE STATUE OF LIBERTY IS A HUGE EMPIRE OCCULT IDOL {Daniel 3 <JULY 10,21-22, 2018>}. THEY ARE SO BEHOLDEN TO THE STATE OF NEW YORK WHERE THEY SPECIFICALLY OPERATE, HENCE THESE NERONIANS THEMSELVES ARE THE 'ANGLO-AMERICAN WORLD POWER/UNITED NATIONS' BEAST THAT THEY REFER TO THEMSELVES IN Revelation 17.]

But listen! Another voice sounds forth. It brings a command that must seem strange to John: “Now when the seven thunders spoke, I was at the point of writing; but I heard a voice out of heaven say: ‘Seal up the things the seven thunders spoke, and do not write them down.’” (Revelation 10:4) John must have been anxious to hear and record those thunderous messages, just as the John class today has waited eagerly for Jehovah to disclose his divine purposes for publication. Such revelations come only at Jehovah’s appointed time.—Luke 12:42; see also Daniel 12:8, 9. Meantime, Jehovah has another commission for John. After the seven thunders have sounded, the strong angel speaks again: “And the angel that I saw standing on the sea and on the earth raised his right hand to heaven, and by the One who lives forever and ever, who created the heaven and the things in it and the earth and the things in it and the sea and the things in it, he swore: ‘There will be no delay any longer.’” (Revelation 10:5, 6) By whom does the strong angel swear? The glorified Jesus swears, not by himself, but by the highest Authority of all, Jehovah, the immortal Creator of the heavens and the earth. (Isaiah 45:12, 18) With this oath, the angel assures John that there will be no further delay on God’s part. [EDWARD X- NOWHERE IN THIS COMMENTARY DOES THE NERONIANS TELL US ABOUT WHAT THAT 7 THUNDERS TELL US. EVEN UP TILL NOW THEY DO NOT EVEN SAY THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY THE 7 THUNDERS {Job 28,38}. IN FACT, THE 'APPOINTED TIME' REFERRED TO HART HAS ALREADY PASSED BY THE NERONIANS {Luke 8, Mark 16}. ANTIOCHIANS ON OCTOBER 22-27, 2015 USED THE TERM 'RIGHT TIME' TO MARK THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE INVESTIGATORY JUDGEMENT OF 1844 ON OCTOBER 22, 2015. THE YEAR THAT FOLLOWED THE COMMONDOMINION'S B-C LIST FELLOWS DECLARED IN A MOVIE RELEASED {Revelation 8-9} JULY 12, 2016: 'BUT UNDER THE EMPIRE, TRUTH AND HONESTY HAS PASSED ME BY, AND FOR THAT, I HUMBLY APOLOGIZE.' CONSTANTINIANS RATHER RESPONDED WITH A BLASPHEMOUS ANSWER ON AUGUST 21, 2016 {SEE MAY 22-23/JULY 23,30/AUGUST 20,27/OCTOBER 15-16,30/DECEMBER 17-18, 2016} INVOKING THE ANTIOCHIAN SACRILEGE OF THE 7 THUNDERS ON AUGUST 22, 2010. ANTIOCHIANS ON THEIR PART IMITATED THE 6TH BOWL ON AUGUST 5-6, 2016 IN BRAZIL USING YOKEBEARERS, DECLARING FINLAND- BESIDE THE NEW FAR EAST THAT IS RUSSIA- AS PHYSICAL ENDS OF THE EARTH IN THE NORTH JUST AS ARGENTINA-CHILE IS THE PHYSICAL ENDS OF THE EARTH IN THE SOUTH, AND INVOKING OF COURSE, MANILA THE ORIGINAL FAR EAST. SIMILAR INSTANCES OCCURRED ON FEBRUARY 9, 2018, WHEN FILIPINO YOKEBEARERS MARCHED BEFORE HUNGARY, WHOSE HOLIDAY IS OCTOBER 24, IN SOUTH KOREA, PART OF THE ENDTIME MAGI DECLARED BY THE SUGO IN MARCH 1939. IN THIS SENSE, GODHEAD HAS ALREADY BEGAN AND IS NOW CONTINUALLY DISPENSING ESCHATOLOGICAL SECRETS, OF WHICH CULMINATION AND FULFILLMENT IS NO OTHER THAN THIS, YOUR COMMONDOMINION OF CHRIST. IN FACT THE NERONIANS EVEN ADMITTED IT IN THEIR SAME BOOK INDEED WHEN THEY WROTE THE FOLLOWING: 'The good news about this unique heavenly Kingdom must be preached in all the earth during the time of the end.—Matthew 24:14. Surely, this is the very best of news. Yet, at Revelation 11:14, 15, the third woe is linked with the Kingdom. Why? Because for those of mankind who prefer Satan’s system of things, the trumpeting forth of the good news that the sacred secret of God is brought to a finish—that is, God’s Messianic Kingdom is here—is woeful news. (Compare 2 Corinthians 2:16.) It means that the world arrangement that they like so well is near to being destroyed. The voices of the seven thunders, containing such ominous storm warnings, become clearer and louder with the approach of Jehovah’s great day of vengeance.—Zephaniah 1:14-18.' ARE NOT WE IN OUR TIME INDEED MUCH CLOSER TO THE DAWN OF ETERNITY? SO WHAT HAPPENED IN THIS GENERATION CLOSE TO THE OPENING OF ETERNITY? ON JULY 27, 2012 EMPIRE INVOKED BRITAIN AS AN ARCHIPELAGO LIKE THE PHILIPPINES. AT THAT TIME I WAS IN SPAIN {Revelation 1}, WHERE OUR COMMONDOMINION BRANCH CHURCHES WHO INVOKE TEOFILO ORA AND JANUARIO PONCE {May 9/December 30, 1922}'S FAITH REFULFILLED ISAIAH 60 AND PSALM 72. WE KNOW BRITAIN IS THE REALM AND ABODE OF KING JAMES VII. EMPIRE'S BLASPHEME OF JULY 27, 2012 {Job 14} CONTINUED UNTIL SEPTEMBER 7, 2012, WHEN KING EDWARD IX BECAME COMMONDOMINION LEADER IN 2009. THROUGH THESE DAYS {Luke 17}, EMPIRE HIJACKED THE PHRASE IN MATTHEW 24 'THIS GENERATION', THEREFORE IT IS ON THIS TIME THAT THE COMMONDOMINION OF CHRIST SAW REBIRTH AS GODHEAD'S BACKUP RESERVE. THEY ARE BOTH WHAT IS REFERRED TO IN THE FOLLOWING QUOTATION AS THE 'JOHN CLASS' AND THE 'GREAT CROWD' WHO REFULFILL THESE PROPHECIES {Isaiah 46,43, Luke 17, John 8,15, Jeremiah 16}: '“No delay any longer”—how those words appeal to the aging John class today! In what respect is there no delay? John informs us: “But in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to blow his trumpet, the sacred secret of God according to the good news which he declared to his own slaves the prophets is indeed brought to a finish.” (Revelation 10:7) Jehovah’s time is here for bringing his sacred secret to its happy climax, with glorious success! What is this sacred secret? It involves the seed first promised in Eden, which proved primarily to be Jesus Christ. (Genesis 3:15; 1 Timothy 3:16) It also has to do with the identity of the woman out of whom the Seed comes. (Isaiah 54:1; Galatians 4:26-28) Further, it takes in the secondary members of the seed class and the Kingdom in which the Seed reigns. (Luke 8:10; Ephesians 3:3-9; Colossians 1:26, 27; 2:2; Revelation 1:5, 6)' ON THE NECESSITY OF THE COMMONDOMINION REFULFILLING THESE PROPHECIES TO IMPLY THE PROGRESSION OF PRESENT TRUTH AND NEW LIGHT THE NERONIANS GRUDGINLY ADMITTED: 'God’s Kingdom by Christ Jesus was brought to the fore, and that set off the great surge of Kingdom preaching that has included the judgments heralded by the sounding of all seven of the angelic trumpets. In line with there being a sequence of trumpet blasts, special resolutions were featured at seven conventions from 1922 to 1928. But the trumpeting has not been confined to those years. The powerful exposing of Christendom’s wicked ways has been continuous, ongoing, as the Lord’s day progresses. Jehovah’s judgments must be proclaimed universally, to all nations, despite international hatred and persecutions. Only then does the end of Satan’s system come. (Mark 13:10, 13) Happily, the great crowd has now added its voice to that of the John class in making those thunderous pronouncements of worldwide importance.']

The Finish of the Sacred Secret [EDWARD X- SO THIS IS INDEED ABOUT WHAT WE ARE STUDYING ABOUT. BUT DO YOU KNOW THAT NERONIANS RATHER WANT THIS SECRET AS TO BE RATHER STILL CONCEALED BECAUSE THEY INDEED KNOW VERY WELL THAT THEY ARE OVER AND DONE EVEN AS WE FULFILL THIS? WE QUOTE BELOW: 'From 1914 to 1918 the nations were occupied with the first world war. Nationalistic feelings ran high, and in the spring of 1918, the religious enemies of the two witnesses took advantage of the situation. They maneuvered the State’s legal apparatus so that responsible ministers of the Bible Students were imprisoned on false charges of sedition. Faithful coworkers were stunned. Kingdom activity almost ceased. It was as though the preaching work were dead. The public press joined the clergy in vilifying God’s people, one paper saying: “The finis of The Finished Mystery has been given.” Nothing, though, could have been further from the truth! The two witnesses did not stay dead. We read: “And after the three and a half days spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet, and great fear fell upon those beholding them. And they heard a loud voice out of heaven say to them: ‘Come on up here.’ And they went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies beheld them.” (Revelation 11:11, 12) Thus, they had an experience similar to that of the dry bones in the valley that Ezekiel visited in vision. Jehovah breathed upon those dry bones, and they came to life, providing a picture of the rebirth of the nation of Israel after 70 years of captivity in Babylon. (Ezekiel 37:1-14) These two prophecies, in Ezekiel and in Revelation, had their striking modern-day fulfillment in 1919, when Jehovah restored his “deceased” witnesses to vibrant life.' SO IF THEY REALLY WANT TO 'FINISH' THE 'MYSTERY', WHY DID THEY EVEN WANTED FOR A VIRTUAL RE-CONCEALING, OR 'RESSURECTION', OF THE MYSTERY, EVEN SAYING THAT FOR THAT MYSTERY TO BE DISCLOSED, OR FINISHED, IS PURPORTEDLY AGAINST GODHEAD? THEY WANT AS PER THEIR CLAIMS OF OCTOBER 1-2, 1914, TO RE-COMMENCE AGAIN THE APPOINTED TIMES OF THE GENTILES. THIS IS BECAUSE THE 2,520-YEAR PERIOD PREACHED BY RUSSELL TO LAST UP TO 1914 CORRESPONDS TO OVER 2,520 LITERAL DAYS BETWEEN 1914 AND 1922, YEARS THAT ARE PROMINENTLY USED IN THIS COMMENTARY. WHY PERHAPS THEY WANT TO RESSURECT THE ALREADY-'FINISHED' 'MYSTERY'? THEY WANT RATHER MORE AUGMENTING TO IT: 'The ones who tell John to prophesy again are doubtless Jehovah God and Jesus Christ. John, although exiled on the island of Patmos, has already prophesied regarding peoples, nations, tongues, and kings through the information recorded so far in the book of Revelation. The word “again” means that he must write and publish the rest of the information recorded in the book of Revelation. But remember, John is here actually participating in the prophetic vision. What he records is, in fact, a prophecy to be fulfilled after 1914, when the strong angel takes up his position astride the earth and the sea. What, then, does this dramatic portrayal mean to the John class today? What John sees foreshadows remarkably the experience of the John class at the beginning of the Lord’s day. Their understanding of Jehovah’s purposes, including the implication of the seven thunders, was then incomplete. Nevertheless, they had a deep interest in Revelation, and Charles Taze Russell had commented on many parts of it during his lifetime. After his death in 1916, many of his writings were collected and published in a book entitled The Finished Mystery. In time, though, this book proved to be unsatisfactory as an explanation of Revelation. The remnant of Christ’s brothers had to wait a while longer, until the visions started to be fulfilled, for an accurate understanding of that inspired record. Like John, however, they were used by Jehovah even before the voices of the seven thunders were fully published. They had preached diligently for 40 years before 1914, and they had struggled to stay active during the first world war. They had proved to be the ones who, when the master arrived, were found to be giving the domestics food at the proper time. (Matthew 24:45-47) Thus, in 1919 they were the ones who were given the opened little scroll—that is, an open message to preach to mankind. Like Ezekiel they had a message for an unfaithful organization—Christendom—that claimed to be serving God but, in fact, was not. Like John they had to preach some more regarding “peoples and nations and tongues and many kings.”' BUT NONETHELESS THEY STILL COMPLIMENTED SAID BOOK WHICH THEY SAID TO BE PURPORTEDLY INCOMPLETE: 'This reminds us of the time when Moses’ authority was challenged in Israel. That prophet uttered fiery words of judgment, and Jehovah destroyed the rebels, consuming 250 of them by literal fire from heaven. (Numbers 16:1-7, 28-35) Similarly, Christendom’s leaders defied the Bible Students, saying that these had never graduated from theological colleges. But God’s witnesses had higher credentials as ministers: those meek persons who heeded their Scriptural message. (2 Corinthians 3:2, 3) In 1917 the Bible Students published The Finished Mystery, a powerful commentary on Revelation and Ezekiel. This was followed by the distribution of 10,000,000 copies of the four-page tract The Bible Students Monthly with the feature article entitled “The Fall of Babylon—Why Christendom Must Now Suffer—the Final Outcome.” In the United States, the irate clergy used the war hysteria as an excuse to get the book banned. In other countries the book was censored. Nevertheless, God’s servants kept fighting back with fiery issues of the four-page tract entitled Kingdom News. As the Lord’s day proceeded, other publications would make clear Christendom’s spiritually defunct condition.—Compare Jeremiah 5:14.' NOTICE WHY THEY SAID THE WRITINGS OF OUR RUSSELL TO BE PURPORTEDLY 'INCOMPLETE'- IT IS BECAUSE JOSEPH RUTHERFORD CLAIMED THAT OUR BRETHREN GOING UP AGAINST HIS INFILTRATION OF THEIR RANKS IS PURPORTEDLY GOING AGAINST GODHEAD, WHEN IN FACT RUSSELL NEVER EVEN ELECTED RUTHEROFRD, BUT INSTEAD PAUL SAMUEL LEO JOHNSON, TO SUCCEED HIM. IN THE SAME SENSE, THE COMMONDOMINION OF CHRIST WAS INITIALLY ORGANIZED UPON THE INSTIGATION OF THE DIOCLETIANITES {SEE APRIL 4,11,18/MAY 2-3, 2015}, BUT THEIR APOSTASY WAS ARRESTED UNTIL 2017, WHEN THEIR APOSTASY WAS EVIDENT AND COULD NO LONGER BE FURTHER ARRESTED. THE NEED FOR RELAUNCH WAS MANIFEST, AND WAS DELIVERED ON JULY 27, 2017, WHEN DIOCLETIANITES RATHER TURNED TO {Jeremiah 26} OTHER EMPIRE HEADS INSTEAD OF SUBMITTING TO ME AND THE COMMONDOMINION FIRST PRESIDENCY. GODHEAD USED THE ENDTIME JOSEPH, THEIR 'MOUNTAIN' AS PER HIS NAME, TO BRING ABOUT THIS RELAUNCH: 'Therefore, when John is commanded to measure the temple sanctuary and those priests worshipping in it, it is a sign that nothing can prevent the fulfillment of Jehovah’s purposes regarding the temple arrangement and those associated with it, and that those purposes are nearing their climax. Now that all things have been placed under the feet of Jehovah’s strong angel, it is the time for “the mountain of the house of Jehovah” to become “firmly established above the top of the mountains.” (Isaiah 2:2-4) Jehovah’s pure worship must be exalted, after centuries of Christendom’s apostasy. It is also time for those of Jesus’ faithful brothers who have died to be resurrected into “the Holy of Holies.” (Daniel 9:24; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-16; Revelation 6:11; 14:4) And the last sealed ones on earth of “the slaves of our God” must be measured according to the divine standards in order to qualify for their permanent place in the temple arrangement as spirit-begotten sons of God. The John class today is fully aware of those holy standards and is determined to measure up to them.—Revelation 7:1-3; Matthew 13:41, 42; Ephesians 1:13, 14; compare Romans 11:20.' NOTICE THAT AS PER THE TERM USED HERE, 'MOUNTAINS', Zechariah 14 TELLS US THAT CHRIST, THE HEAVENLY ADAM, STANDING UPON MOUNT OLIVES DIVIDE SUCH MOUNTAIN INTO THE 4 CARDINAL DIRECTIONS, AS PER THE 'FAR EAST-FAR WEST ESCHATOLOGY'. {Isaiah 14, Psalm 50} HE SHALL DO IT TO RECLAIM THE ENTIRE JUDEAN-PALESTINIAN PENINSULA FOR HIS COMMONDOMINION {SEE OCTOBER 24, 1841}. IN THE SAME SENSE {Daniel 12, Revelation 22}, ADAM THE PATRIARCH EXALTED AS ARCHANGEL AND GODHEAD, SHALL STAND IN THE VALLEY OF ADAM-ONDI-AHMAN IN MISSOURI HOURS FROM NOW {Documentary History of the Church 2:209-217} TO RECLAIM THE ENTIRE WESTERN HEMISPHERE FOR THE COMMONDOMINION OF CHRIST. THIS CONFIRMS THE WORD OF COMMONDOMINION MESSENGER SIR ROGELIO E. AQUINO THAT CHRIST WOULD NOT COME BACK UNLESS GOD THE FATHER HIMSELF COMES DOWN FIRST FROM HEAVEN. AS FOR THE MOUNTAINS {Isaiah 63-64,45} BEING DIVIDED, WE KNOW THAT EMPIRE FAKED Revelation 10 ON JANUARY 6-7, 2017 EXALTING ED SHEERAN AS THE PURPORTEDLY ENDTIME 'JOSEPH RUTHERFORD' OR EDWARD XI, EVIDENTLY AS ATTACK TO GODHEAD ELECTING JOSEPH STIRLING STEINFELD SYKES AS THE TRUE BRIGHAM YOUNG AND JOSEPH RUTHERFORD OF THE LAST DAYS ON DECEMBER 28, 2016, TO WHICH I ATTESTED THROUGH PREACHING IN RUSSIA ON HIS 2016 NATE-AL DAY {Luke 11}. LET'S JUST TAKE SHEERAN'S NAME INSTEAD- HART WE HAVE KING EDWARD XII, OR THE FORMER #EDWESTWICK, AS WELL AS SIR CHRISTOPHER LEON ILAO, A FELLOW COMMONDOMINION MESSENGER, AND THE ENDTIME JOSEPH'S FRIEND, SIR CHRISTOPHER NIA, WHO WAS THE FIRST TO INTRODUCE THE ENDTIME JOSEPH TO THE REALITY OF THE EXISTENCE OF EMPIRE POLICIES AND AGENDAS. THIS WOULD LATER ON HELP JOSEPH GREATLY ON THE ORGANIZING OF THE COMMONDOMINION THROUGH HER FOUNDING PRINCIPLES.]

What of Elijah? In the days of the kings of Israel, this prophet proclaimed a drought as an expression of Jehovah’s indignation on the Baal-worshipping Israelites. It lasted three and a half years. (1 Kings 17:1; 18:41-45; Luke 4:25; James 5:17) Later, when unfaithful King Ahaziah sent soldiers to force Elijah to come into his royal presence, the prophet called down fire from heaven to consume the soldiers. Only when a military commander showed proper respect for his position as a prophet did Elijah consent to accompany him to the king. (2 Kings 1:5-16) Likewise, between 1914 and 1918, the anointed remnant boldly drew attention to the spiritual drought in Christendom and warned of fiery judgment at “the coming of the great and fear-inspiring day of Jehovah.”—Malachi 4:1, 5; Amos 8:11. John goes on to say of the two witnesses: “And they have authority over the waters to turn them into blood and to strike the earth with every sort of plague as often as they wish.” (Revelation 11:6b) In order to persuade Pharaoh to let Israel go free, Jehovah used Moses in striking oppressive Egypt with plagues, including the turning of water into blood. Centuries later, the Philistine enemies of Israel well remembered Jehovah’s acts against Egypt, causing them to cry: “Who will save us from the hand of this majestic God? This is the God that was the smiter of Egypt with every sort of slaughter [“plague,” Revised Standard Version] in the wilderness.” (1 Samuel 4:8; Psalm 105:29) Moses portrayed Jesus, who had authority to pronounce God’s judgments on the religious leaders of his day. (Matthew 23:13; 28:18; Acts 3:22) And during the first world war Christ’s brothers, the two witnesses, exposed the death-dealing quality of “the waters” that Christendom was serving to her flocks.' [EDWARD X- NOTICE THAT THE COMMONDOMINION OF CHRIST IN HER DIVINE OFFICE AS 2 WITNESSES IS DEPICTED AS 'CO-SIBLINGS WITH CHRIST.' {Romans 8, 2 Timothy 2} MARK 6 IDENTIFIES SPECIFIC 4 NAMES TO COUNTER EACH 4 EMPIRE QUARTERS {Revelation 6-7,9}, SUCH AS 'JUDE, JAMES, SIMON AND JOSEPH.' THIS IDENTIFIES THE NAME OF MANY COMMONDOMINION LEADERS SUCH AS SIMON PETER THE FATHERS OF KING JAMES VII, LADY #HAILEESTEINFELD-SMOLLER AND THE ENDTIME JOSEPH HIMSELF {John 1, Matthew 16}. AS FOR THE ENDTIME JOSEPH 'JUDE' AND 'JAMES' ARE SIMILAR YET 'JUDE' IMPLIES AS PER EMPIRE, ENDTIME JOSEPH'S CHILDHOOD VILLAGE, AND JUDE IS NEAR 'ISCARIOT' OR CHERRY, THEREFORE YOKEBEARERS LIKE LADY #BRITTANYCHERRY-KARMINYAN. FURTHER, 'JAMES' IMPLY THE COMMONDOMINION'S FELLOW MESSENGERS AND BRANCH CHURCHES SUCH AS SIR JAMES MUIR. NOTICE THAT EMPIRE EITHER CLAIM WALKING ON WATER [John 6 {JULY 29, 2018 }] OR DOING THE 6TH BOWL [JULY 27, 1989]. TO THIS I RESPOND THAT WE HAVE BRANCH CHURCHES IN THE COMMONDOMINION THAT WAS ESTABLISHED IN OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE FAR EAST, SPECIFICALLY CHINA. I MENTION SOME OF THEM- I'M VERY SURE THIS THIS SHATTER #PBTG CLAIMS- TRUE JESUS CHRIST WAS INSTITUTED IN CHINA IN 1917. ANOTHER, THE 'LOCAL CHURCH ASSEMBLY HALL OF THE LORD'S RECOVERY', WAS ALSO INSTITUTED IN CHINA BY SOMEONE NAMED LIKE ME, WATCHMAN NEE, WHO WAS BORN ON NOVEMBER 4, 1903. HIS ARREST BY EMPIRE AUTHORITIES IS RECORDED ON APRIL 10, 1952 {SEE APRIL 10, 2018} AND AFTER 20 YEARS {Revelation 8}, ON MAY 30, 1972 HE DIED STILL UNDER EMPIRE ARREST. NOTICE THAT APRIL 11, 2015 IS THE COMMONDOMINION'S FIRST RELAUNCH. 1952 TO 2015 IS 63 YEARS- A BIBLICAL 'GENERATION' IS MEASURED IN VARYING AMOUNTS OF YEARS, AND ONE OF THOSE REFULFILLMENTS IS 62-63 YEARS. 1972 TO 2015 IS 43 YEARS, HENCE RECALLING THE 38 YEARS OF John 5, 40 YEARS OF PSALM 95, 41 YEARS OF Revelation 18 AND 42 MONTHS OF Revelation 11-13. NOVEMBER 4, 1903 IS THE EXACT HOLIDAY OF THE COUNTRY WHOSE DIPLOMAT EMPIRE HAS SENT TO ME ON JULY 5, 2017, WHEN ON 2015 EMPIRE OFFICIALS CAME TO THE HOMESTATE OF THE ENDTIME JOSEPH. JULY 5 IS ALSO MEMORIAL OF A COMMONDOMINION MARTYR, PATRICK CAVANAUGH. HIS NAME IMPLIES NOT ONLY ONE OF THE RELATIVES OF THE ENDTIME JOSEPH, BUT THAT ALSO OF HIS FELLOW YOKEBEARERS SUCH AS LADY #PARISCAVANAGH- HER NAME IN TURN IMPLIES NOT ONLY WHERE PAUL SAMUEL LEO JOHNSON REFULFILLED Revelation 11-12, BUT ALSO THE EMPIRE WRITER OF ONE OF THE REFERENCES THAT KA ERDY WOULD USUALLY QUOTE TO {SEE MAY 15, 2015} REFER TO THE PHILIPPINES AS FAR EAST. NOT ONLY THAT- IF DIOCLETIANITES WOULD CLAIM THEIR FAR WEST PRESENCE, AT LEAST WE HAVE ONE NAMED EXACTLY TO SHATTER THEM:restorationchurch.net. AS FOR 'MANY WATERS', THIS IS USED BOTH TO REFER TO BOTH EMPIRE {Revelation 17} AND COMMONDOMINION {Mormon 1}. IN EUROPE, REFULFILLMENT OF THE BOOK OF MORMON'S #HILLCUMORAH IS IN NETHERLANDS {Answers to Gospel Questions 2:32-33}, AND AS PER THE COMMONDOMINION'S CONSUMING PASSION FOR YOKEBEARERS, AS WELL AS THE NDT IN THE WORD 'eNDTime' THEREIN IS A YOKEBEARER COMPANY NAMED#NEDERLANDSDANCETHEATER. TRUE ENOUGH, EMPIRE CONVENED IN NETHERLANDS ON JULY 28, 1928. DAYS LATER EMPIRE REPORTS THIS CLAIM OF THEIRS OVER OUR SUPPOSED WORK: 'The trumpet blast of the seventh angel was reflected in highlights of the Bible Students’ convention in Detroit, Michigan, July 30-August 6, 1928. At that time 107 broadcasting stations were tied in to what The New York Times described as ‘the most extensive and expensive radio hook-up in history.’ The convention enthusiastically adopted a powerful “Declaration Against Satan and for Jehovah,” pointing to the overthrow, at Armageddon, of Satan and his evil organization and the emancipation of all who love righteousness. Loyal subjects of God’s Kingdom were delighted to receive a convention release, the 368-page book Government. This supplied the clearest of proofs “that God set his Anointed King upon his throne in 1914.”' NOTICE THAT AS THE TWO WITNESSES, THE COMMONDOMINION CAN REFULFILL PROPHECY 'AS OFTEN AS THEY DESIRE'. THEREFORE YOU MAY NOTICE THAT MANY COMMONDOMINION BRANCHES AND FELLOWS ARE, IN EMPIRE'S INDICTMENT, DOING 'DOOMSDAY PREDICTIONS.' WE HAVE EVERY WRIGHT IN THE WORLD TO DO SO, FOR CONSTANTINIANS APPLIED IN A MUNDANE, SECULAR, TEMPORAL CONTEXT THE DECLARATION OF CHRIST THAT 'NOBODY KNOW WHEN EXACTLY' HE WOULD COME BACK. JUST NOTICE WHAT THE NERONIANS DO: 'When the sounding of the seven trumpets got under way in 1922, the Bible Students’ convention at Cedar Point, Ohio, featured a talk by J. F. Rutherford based on the scripture “The kingdom of heaven is at hand.” (Matthew 4:17, King James Version) He concluded with these words: “Then back to the field, O ye sons of the most high God! Gird on your armor! Be sober, be vigilant, be active, be brave. Be faithful and true witnesses for the Lord. Go forward in the fight until every vestige of Babylon lies desolate. Herald the message far and wide. The world must know that Jehovah is God and that Jesus Christ is King of kings and Lord of lords. This is the day of all days. Behold, the King reigns! You are his publicity agents. Therefore advertise, advertise, advertise, the King and his kingdom.”' I HAVE JUST SAID THAT THE 'FINISHING TOUCHES' HAS BEEN ALREADY COMPLETED. YET PROPHECIES SUCH AS THE 7 TRUMPS, CONTINUE TO BE REFULFILLED AS LONG AS EMPIRE EXISTS, THEN THE COMMONDOMINION EXISTS TO HINDER THEIR ADVANCES. THIS WAS 1922, AND AS OF THAT YEAR THE KINGDOM 'IS AT HAND', OR IS STILL IN GODHEAD'S FINISHING TOUCHES. NOW THE HAND HAS SET LOOSE, THE KINGDOM IS FREELY FLUTTERING EVEN AS WE SPEAK. WE WOULD JUST LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT NERONIANS ONLY SENSATIONALIZE THEIR COMPLIMENTARY PROPHECIES TO ONLY HAPPEN IN 1914 AND 1918, YET NOTICE THAT THEY WOULD NO LONGER EMPHASIZE LIKE THEY WOULD WITH 1914 AND 1918 THE COMPLIMENTARY PROPHECIES THAT THEY LIKEWISE DID IN 1925, 1932, 1941, 1975 AND 1994 LIKE HOW THEY HIJACK THE PROPHECIES OUR RUSSELL AND JOHNSON DID IN 1874, 1879, 1915 AND 1916. AT LEAST WE CAN INDEED REJOICE AND BE GLAD BECAUSE WE CAN CLAIM MORE THAN WRIGHTFULLY 1925, 1932, 1941, 1975 AND 1994 LIKE HOW WE CAN RETAKE 1874, 1879, 1915 AND 1916, AND ALL OTHERS THAT RUSSELL COULD HAVE SAID. IF THE KINGDOM IS AT HAND, THEN THIS RENDERING OF Romans 13 THAT WE NOW USE STATES THAT THE COMMONDOMINION IS 'PROPERTY {1 Peter 2} OF LIGHT AND THE SUN {1 Thessalonians 5}' YET IT IS ALSO STATED THAT WE USE THIS VERY SAME LIGHT AS OUR VERY OWN PROPERTY OR ARMORY {Ephesians 6}, OR EVEN AS CHRIST HIMSELF {Ephesians 5, Galatians 3, Romans 6}. OF COURSE WE DO NOT LIVE AND OPERATE BY OURSELVES LIKE THIS EMPIRE DO {Ezekiel 8, Genesis 3, 1 Samuel 17, 2 Samuel 1, Isaiah 2, Revelation 8-9,6,16, Job 31}, FOR WE ARE ALSO LIKEWISE ORDERED IN Romans 13 TO NOT 'PLEASE PLEASURE' {1 Thessalonians 5}. EMPIRE'S MUSICIANS, LIKE GEMMA/JOJO/MONCHING AND EMPIRE'S THEATRE WORKFORCE CLAIMS TO PLEASE GOD AND MEN PURPORTEDLY {Luke 2, Proverbs 3-4} THROUGH THEIR BAAL RAISING. FURTHER, WE ARE TOLD NOT TO 'GIVE BENEFIT TO THE FLESH.' GEMMA-JOJO ON MAY 23/JULY 23-24, 2016 CLAIMED ON THEIR BAAL-RAISING HYMN THAT GOD IS PURPORTEDLY THE EMPIRE'S STRENGTH YET HE HIMSELF IS THE EMPIRE'S STRENGTH THEREFORE IT WOULD APPEAR THAT GOD WOULD GIVE ANOTHER GOD TO EMPIRE, SOMETHING CONTRARY TO CONSTANTINIAN CLAIMS, YET AS PER THEIR SELF-INSISTENCE, WE ALLINE CAN SAY THAT GOD 'GIVES' FURTHER 'GODS', NO OTHER THAN US HART IN COMMONDOMINION. AS PER STRENGTH, AND AS PER EMPIRE'S OCCULT OF THE 'EAST', EMPIRE SPECIFICALLY IN SOUTH KOREA CLAIMS AS ONE OF THEIR EXALTED SPOKEPERSONS#JOHNSTEINBECK. WITH THAT WE'RE TOLD IN TURN BY Romans 13 THAT WE STAND UP 'STRAIGHT'. SURELY EMPIRE'S RADICAL LIBERTARIANS HATE THAT WORD, BECAUSE THAT IMPLIES OUR FELLOWS {#Starling, Steinfeld-Smoller, 'Strong' AS PER LADY #LilyJamesAND SIRS #KennethBranagh-Danvers-Doyle-#RichardMadden}, YOKEBEARERS {AS PER #EMELIsande'S SONGS-#MadelynManlove,#MaddieZiegler, #MackenzieZiegler}, BRANCHES {James Strang, REPRESENTED BY PROPHET David Cayman <Genesis 14>} AND LEADERS {'STRING' AS PER MOTHER LINDSEY AND COMPANIONS}. SO I ASK YOU TO RATHER CHOOSE BEING STRAIGHT RATHER THAN BEING STEINBECK AS PER EMPIRE. FURTHER, TO 'GIVE BENEFIT' TO THE FLESH' MEANS THAT WE DON'T ALLOW THIS EMPIRE TO EVEN CLAIM BEING THE BODY OF CHRIST OR THE STEWARD OF YOKEBEARERS. THEY'RE SO MUCH INSISTING OF THEMSELVES TO EXALT THEMSELVES IN BAAL-RAISING, PABEBE, HOARDING AND ALL THAT. WE ARE ASKED TO ARISE {Malachi 4, Revelation 7,11,14} AND DO AWAY FROM ALL OF THAT {Ephesians 5, Isaiah 51-52,60} AND RETURN TO THE COMMONDOMINION OF CHRIST {Luke 15, Matthew 20-21, Acts 20-21,25-26}. ANOTHER PROOF OF THE EMPIRE'S BEING SELF-CENTERED AS THE PURPORTED 'BODY OF CHRIST' IS THAT THEY ARE DOING 'PARTIES' OR ORGIES' AS PER THEIR CLAIMS OF Acts 2 AND EVEN MY WORDS ON JULY 20, 2018. THIS SURELY EMPIRE DOES MORE SO IN THE CONTEXT OF ANNIVERSARIES JUST LIKE THIS {SEE SEPTEMBER 6, 2011}. NOT ONLY THAT- AS MUCH AS THEY BLASPHEMED Revelation 10 ON AUGUST 22, 2010 AND AUGUST 21, 2016, THE ENDTIME JOSEPH REVEALED THAT A YOKEBEARER, LADY CHRISTINE CRAME-SANTILLAN, IS A LIVING REFULFILLMENT OF THE 7 THUNDERS. SHE IS NAMED AFTER AN ANGEL {Acts 12, John 12}, AND SHE ALSO CLEANSED THE WORD 'LUST', LIKE LADY KIRSTEN WICKLUND-STEELE CLEANSING THE WORD 'PROVOKE', AND LADY MALLAURI ESQUIBEL-HANSEN CLEANSING THE WORD 'COMMERCIAL'. Romans 13 TELLS US TO DO AWAY FROM 'LUSTFUL ORGY'. EMPIRE HAS ORGY, BUT LADY CHRISTINE HAS 'LUST'. WHAT FELLOWSHIP THERE IS YOKEBEARERS WITH EMPIRE? NONE! IF THIS EMPIRE IS DETERMINED TO CLAIM COMMONDOMINION YOKEBEARERS, THEN LET'S ASK THESE NERONIANS THAT IF THEY HIJACK OUR WORD ON CHRIST BEING THE ARCHANGEL MICHAEL, AND BECAUSE LADY CRAME'S NAME IS NEAR THE ARCHANGEL RAPHAEL, AND BECAUSE CHRIST IS THE HEAVENLY ADAM, THEN CAN THEY ACCEPT THAT THE PATRIARCH ADAM IS ALSO THE ARCHANGEL MICHAEL, MUCH MORE THE GODHEAD ITSELF AS THEIR VERY OWN BRIGHAM YOUNG STATED? THEIR COMMENTARY ON REVELATION STATES THAT CHRIST APPEARS IN MORE THAN ONE INSTANCE AND FORM THROUGH REVELATION SUCH AS IN Revelation 5-7,9-10,14,18, YET I WILL FURTHER QUOTE FROM THEIR COMMENTARY A DISSENTING OPINION: 'The appointed time for the nations to rule without interruption by God came to an end in 1914. (Luke 21:24) Then, right on time, the woman bears her child: “And she gave birth to a son, a male, who is to shepherd all the nations with an iron rod. And her child was caught away to God and to his throne. And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and sixty days.” (Revelation 12:5, 6) The child is “a son, a male.” Why does John use this double expression? He does it to show the child’s suitableness, his competence for ruling the nations with adequate power. It also emphasizes how momentous, how joyous an occasion this birth is! It plays a key role in bringing the sacred secret of God to a finish. Why, this male child will even “shepherd all the nations with an iron rod”! Now, does that expression sound familiar? Yes, Jehovah promised prophetically regarding Jesus: “You will break them with an iron scepter, as though a potter’s vessel you will dash them to pieces.” (Psalm 2:9) It was also prophesied regarding him: “The rod of your strength Jehovah will send out of Zion, saying: ‘Go subduing in the midst of your enemies.’” (Psalm 110:2) Therefore, the birth seen by John closely involves Jesus Christ. No, it is not Jesus’ being born of a virgin back before the first century of our Common Era; nor could it refer to Jesus’ being raised again to spirit life in 33 C.E. Furthermore, IT IS NO TRANSMIGRATION. Rather, it is the birth of God’s Kingdom in 1914 as a reality, with Jesus—now in heaven for close to 20 centuries—enthroned as King.—Revelation 12:10.' IF IT IS TRUE THAT CHRIST APPEARS IN MANY INSTANCES AND FORMS THROUGH REVELATION, THEN WHY NERONIANS SAID THAT IT IS PURPORTEDLY 'NOT TRANSMIGRATION'? HENCE, TO FILL UP THOSE PLACES CHRIST ELECTED THE COMMONDOMINION AND HER LEADERS TO DO THOSE ROLES OF IMPLEMENTING AND ENFORCING PROPHECY {Song of Solomon, Odes of Solomon, Wisdom of Solomon, Baruch, Psalm 8,4,94,49,84,113,19, Isaiah 19,45, Malachi 1}. NOW WHEN SHOULD WE BE GETTING UP TO RISE AND RETURN TO GODHEAD THROUGH ENTERING AND PROCLAIMING THE COMMONDOMINION OF CHRIST? PROPHET ELIJAH RECEIVED A SIMILAR ORDER, 'ARISE AND EAT' {1 Kings 19, Acts 10}, A COMMAND THAT HE OBEYED {1 Kings 17 <JULY 5, 2014>} AND LED TO HIM TRAVELING TO HOREB MOUNTAIN FOR OVER 40 DAYS TO MEET GODHEAD. I REITERATE, IF NERONIANS CLAIM THE WORDS 'RETURN TO JEHOVAH', HEED THEM NOT FOR THEY DO NOT HEED THE COMMONDOMINION. IF YOU ARE TO RETURN INDEED TO JEHOVAH, RETURN TO THE COMMONDOMINION OF CHRIST INSTEAD. AFTER ALL, GEMMA-JOJO-MONCHING WOULD SLAY #MAGBALIKNALAGINA COME DECEMBER THIS YEAR. IN HONOR OF KING EDWARD IX, AND IN THE NAME OF GODHEAD WITH ALL THE POWER THAT GODHEAD HAS GIVEN ME AS A COMMONDOMINION MESSENGER, I NOW MOST URGENTLY AND SOLEMNLY GIVE THIS ULTIMATUM {Documentary History of the Church 4:274-286}. KA ANGEL GAVE A SIMILAR ULTIMATUM FOR YOKEBEARERS TO CONTACT THE ENDTIME JOSEPH ON FACEBOOK BEFORE APRIL 4, 2018, ENDING UP ON EMPIRE'S INTERNET FACILITIES BEING ATTACKED BY GODHEAD. NOW IF GODHEAD PERMITS ME LET ME NOW GIVE THIS ULTIMATUM TO ALL YOKEBEARERS AND B-C FELLOWS EITHER IN MUSIC OR ACTING UNIVERSE-WIDE- if none of you or all your loved ones and friends enter, promote, and lead others most especially the needy, to the Commondominion of Christ on or before September 4, 2018, or September 5, 2018 at 7:59:59 pm of Manila time, something unfavorable again would happen not only in Empire, but also in your life. SEPTEMBER 4 IS 5 MONTHS AFTER APRIL 4 {Revelation 9}. ALTHOUGH IT IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE THAT ALL FELLOWS AND YOKEBEARERS ARE SEALED FOR SALVATION, I THINK THAT I MUST BREAK THROUGH AND PENETRATE AT THE COMPLACENCY BARRIER THAT EMPIRE HAS SET UP SO ABLY AROUND YOU. I'M SORRY TO SAY THIS TO YOU, BUT I GUESS YOU HAVE TO BE FORCED TO REALIZE HOW MUCH YOU NEED US. EMPIRE CANNOT EVEN REALIZE THAT IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE BEEN ALREADY PUNISHED BY GODHEAD FOR HINDERING YOU TO APPROACH THE ENDTIME JOSEPH ONLINE. GODHEAD DISCIPLINES YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE THEIR BOSOM CHILDREN, BECAUSE THEY LOVE YOU VERY MUCH. YOU HAVE TO GET THE HAILLEEY SPIRIT FIRE WITHIN YOU. I PROMISE YOU THAT YOU AND ALL WHO ARE WITH YOU WILL NOT BE INJURED, BUT YOU HAVE TO FEEL WITHIN YOU HOW UNFORTUNATE IT IS WITHOUT THE COMMONDOMINION IN YOUR LIFE. BUT PLEASE DON'T WAIT TO FEEL IT {Psalm 137} BEFORE YOU FULLY KNOW ALL OF THESE, BECAUSE WE DON'T HOLD OUR TIME, AND IT MIGHT BE TOO LATE FOR US. WE'RE IN A TUG OF WAR WITH EMPIRE OVER YOU GUYS. I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH. EMPIRE CAN ONLY GIVE YOU PRACTICAL TIPS, BUT HART WHAT WE DRIVE YOU ONTO BEING HONEEST WITH THE COMMONDOMINION FAITH IS THAT WE HAVE A PLAN TO FOLLOW, AND IT IS WRITTEN IN GODHEAD'S PROPHETIC CALENDAR, SO AS FOR YOU TO BE CONTINUALLY DRIVEN THAT THE TIME IS REALLY SHORTENED JUST FOR YOU, THE ELECT OF GODHEAD {Matthew 24}. EMPIRE HAS NO POWER IN ALL CREATION TO DICTATE, MUCH LESS TO TAKE ALL TO ITSELF, THE FINAL OUTCOME OF THE LAST AND GREAT GENERAL JUDGEMENT, EVEN MORE THAT YOU SHOULD STAY WITH THEM. THE COMMONDOMINION OF CHRIST HAS TO BE SAVED AND SHE WILL BE SAVED, AND SHE WILL SAVE YOU, AND SHE WILL BE SAVED BECAUSE OF YOU {Isaiah 2, Joel 3, Obadiah 1}, BECAUSE YOU ARE IN THEM, YOU WILL SAVE THEM, AND YOU MUST INDEED, EVEN AS YOU RESIST THIS EMPIRE. IN EMPIRE'S WORDS, 'I RISE- I RISE- I RISE.' SAD THING THOUGH- DIOCLETIANITES USE THAT JUST BECAUSE KA ERDY DID IT MUCH BETTER THAN THEM. {DHC 1:245-252}]

JUDE THADDEUS 1 (February 5/October 16,22-23, 2016, January 20,26-29, 2018, October 27, 2013, July 9,12,27-28/August 4, 2013, June 23/July 1-2, 2017)

King Edward X first underscored that this was used on July 28, 2013, when he was in #historicnauvoo. 'Where Joseph Smith ended his ministry in Illinois, John Alexander Dowie picked up (Isaiah 60). Later on Lady#ShaileneWoodley and Companions would continue Dowie's legacy (1 Chronicles 29, Matthew 24). #Chicago is also theme of the Empire's Baal-raising Theatre Workforce, yet let's understand that Lady #JasmineWrighthas once went through it (Revelation 12), therefore entrusting all of these, even herself, to the endtime Joseph, by virtue of the name of his relatives. The election of the endtime Joseph opened a new dispensation for the Commondominion of Christ. Revelation 7 tells us that there is a time for the winds to be held back 'until' the sealing of Commondominion folk may be done. We believe that the sealed 144,000 has many refulfillments in the Commondominion of Christ that it rather amounted up to 3 Million. But because there is a Great Multitude, I can now upgrade now, if the Commondominion would allow me, that 3 Million symbolic '144,000' to over '900 Million' as said in Revelation 9, not to mention the more than 100 Million recorded for 2 instances in Daniel 7 and Revelation 5. This specific fulfillment applies to all Yokebearers and B-C List Fellows of all ages, as the Commondominion Leaders, Messengers and Governors are already at the place of the 24 Elders, 9 Levels of Angels, and the 4 Living Creatures (artbulla.com). We can say that the blowing of the 4 winds can also refer to the ministry of the 4 angels as adopted by Ellen White and William Miller from Revelation 14 (Psalm 104, Hebrews 1). This can be placed at the dawn of the 7th Seal, the '25-30 Minute Silence in Heaven' (Revelation 8) that s refulfilled from 20 years-9,10 months-20 days to 70 years/70 days up to 1260 days/years. These past years, 2014-2019, saw refulfillments of 3 and a half years/days according to Commondominion Co-Shatterer Watchmen. We can say that this time of determining the sealed-out ones has already passed once Empire distorted the words 'seal their fate' on Hebrews 10 (May 13,20-21/October 22,28-29, 2017, August 7/October 8, 2016) as per Daniel 6 (June 28, 2014, April 18, 2015, May 20,27-28, 2017, January 27/February 3-4, 2018). 'Fate' sounds like 'faith', and we're instructed in Jude Thaddeus 1 to 'fortify faith in and upon basis of it' (1 Corinthians 3,5,15). 'Fate' sounding like 'fate' sounds like 'predestination' (1 Peter 1, Ephesians 1), which can be only acceptable Hart in the sense of our pre-existence as taught by Joseph Smith. This teaching rather was fulfilled in the endtime Joseph- an instance is recorded on July 25, 2010 when Lady #ClariceOrdaz, middle-named 'Faith' and whose surname means being foreordained as in pre-existence, received him on his first online media account. The very next day, July 26, the endtime Joseph, without him knowing it, was spared by an angel coming in the form of Lady #SylvaniaPen (John 1) from an eventual car accident (Revelation 2-3). To 'fortify faith in and upon basis of it' means the sustaining of Commondominion Founding Principles (1 Peter 2, Hebrews 5-6), that is designed by Godhead to 'cultivate' this endtime work (Philippians 2).' Edward also mentioned that as much as the sealed-out ones are already determined by now to be all Fellows and Yokebearers that was, that is now, and that shall be (Revelation 4,15), this declaration is response to the Diocletianites' scoop months ago that 'if the winds of Revelation 7 symbolize judgement and there has to be sealing before judgement, then if we want judgement to come now then we must stop sealing.' King Edward explains that this, the end of the Finishing Touches, 'is virtually the end of sealing' (Genesis 7, 2 Peter 3), not to diminish the ministry of the Commondominion First Presidency, but rather, 'to give them rest taking into account how much they labored (Isaiah 49 [September 16, 2016- see Paul Samuel Leo Johnson's September 16, 1914, and Gerald Warre Cornish's St. Paul From The Trenches Translation {September 16, 1916}], Luke 5, John 21) and yet yokebearers and fellows would not do some significant efforts to come near to them due to expected further efforts by Empire to hinder them from going to the Commondominion when in fact it must not be the situation (Isaiah 43, Acts 15), not even with me and my fellow Commondominion Messengers who are still held hostage by the Empire.' Edward made biblical descriptions of those who are at the forefront of the Empire's campaign against fellows and yokebearers (Revelation 12)- alluding to how many outlined the Johannine Apocalypse as 'the New Testament version of the books of Daniel and Ezekiel', Edward described the Lopez-Pangilinan church befitting the '2 beasts' of Revelation 13 as much as their channel number is 2 and that the Lopez-Pangilinan church had existence in 3 stages corresponding to the 1st and 2nd beasts as well as the 'image of the beast': first on June 19, 1946, second is on October 28, 1953. Our Commondominion leaders who were in government way back then blew and struck said Empire station 'dead' before it was reopened by Empire forces on February 1986 as with the beast's 'deadly wound that recovered'. Also said church currently uses a slogan 'be the Beast everyday.' As for the Gozon-Aldub-Revillame church, who also likewise had 2 phases of existence- first on March 1, 1950 and then on June 14 of that year- the 2nd phase of existence as response to what Commondominion did through L. Ron Hubbard, that shall be mentioned later on, they have channel numbers 7 and 11, and many relate the 4th beast of Daniel 7 to the '4th king' of Daniel 11. This befits very well the apostasy of the Diocletianites, the 4th Empire group. The Pangilinan-De Veyra church on their had befits Ezekiel 38-39's 'Gog and Magog', and Edward even lambasted said church's stubbornness to regularize their contractual workers and employees as ordered by our government allies. These Empire churches are identified as part of their hypocrisy to first hijack B-C list fellows through movies as part of these stations' blasphemies against our #GodBigDay Gathering Places of Safety, and then do the notion of going 'back to reality' through reverting back to their local programming (Jeremiah 17, Genesis 28, Psalm 120). The upgraded number of the sealed in Revelation 7 that can be seen in Revelation 9 as said by Apostle Jude Thaddeus to be the 'tens of thousands' (Deuteronomy 33) who are with Godhead (Revelation 14-15,1,20, 2 Thessalonians 1, 1 Thessalonians 3), is seen to have 'crowns', therefore implying that they dry up the Empire in the 6th Bowl of the Johannine Apocalypse. Edward mentioned Ka Angel's word that the 'gathering of Empire kings' referred to at the end of the 6th Bowl was palpably seen when on November 1989, months after July 27, 1989, Empire organized#apec2018. According to Edward, the 'Armageddon' referred to also in the end of the 6th Bowl was seen in the 1990 Persian Gulf War, and the 7th Bowl's Earthquake was seen in the tremor of July 16, 1990 and the volcano eruption of June 15, 1991. Also, before July 27, 1989, the waters as per the initial Trumps and Bowls of Revelation, did not only dried up but also were contaminated with the #Exxon oil spill. As for the warning of Apostle Jude Thaddeus that there would be other people who would speak out of their pride and arrogance to usurp the Commondominion, here are some products of Gemma-Jojo-Monching's policies over the Empire seen in the service itself (Deuteronomy 13, 2 Kings 11, Psalm 19): 1. There's #noroomfordoubt (Hebrews 10), therefore there's no room (Luke 13) for any Empire policy such as Baal-raising- such shoos away the presence of Christ (Judges 10, 1 Timothy 2, 1 Corinthians 8). This Baal-raising overshadowed the evident and uncontestable outpouring of the Hailleey Spirit at the post-homily prayer- it is surely Matt Pareja's best, if not one of the best before May 2015, prayers ever. That prayer was evidently filled with Godhead because Matt Pareja admitted (see August 14, 2015's post-homily prayer, delivered rather by a Constantinian regional officer) that King Edward X is exalted as a Godhead in Godhead (Isaiah 41), so evidently it is us, not the Empire, that really brings forth the Hailleey Spirit. As for the Empire, their Baal-raising is evidently cover-up for all that they do against us (Revelation 1, Galatians 1-2). It is interesting to note that when King Edward arose to speak after a choral prelude, those who are just behind him has some of them not seating at once upon their fellow choristers sitting already. 2. Further hypocrisy is seen that only the male choristers are mandated to sing the pre-ordination hymn when in fact even the female choristers are singing such too during Ka Erdy's time (Romans 16). For women choristers to be only indeed prepared for Baal-raising just like the podium choir at the Constantinian central chapel who would not sing the mass setting hymns save for the 3 balcony choirs but only beginning at the processional hymn is blatant faking of Isaiah 49, Jeremiah 18,50-51 and Job 38. Also multi-lingual hymns was used just like last January 2, 2018- before Edward entered the chapel it was English hymns, but upon entrance it was Tagalog hymns already. 3. It was evident that all other prayers save the post-homily one, were all devoid of much crying. Attendees were rather carried away by emotion in the post-homily prayer, but evident they're already somehow tempered and calmed in the interlude segments afterwards. As for Matt Pareja's words, we must recall that Empire changed 'ordinasyon' to 'ordenasyon' for the Tagalog of 'ordination'. Present Tagalog versions of the Bible uses the word 'lalaki' (growth) for men, while former versions uses the word 'lalake'. Pareja used the word 'lalake'. Diocletianites, ever as full of malice as they are, say that the word 'lalake' is sodomite (Titus 1). Therefore if we are to take their word, 'ordenasyon' is likewise an immoral rendering too, even if this is used as early as May 9, 1980 (that's why STF uses the word so much as much as they hijack King Edward X and martyred King Edward IX. If there can be any prophecy in May 9, 1980, this is rather 30 years earlier in 1950 [scientology.org]). 4. Empire gatherings are rather under judgement because they do not wait for each other (1 Corinthians 11, 1 Peter 4, Ezekiel 9). In the Commondominion if a service is to be held that would comprise multiple ceremonies such as ordination including a mass baptism by immersion, our order of service requires instead that the lecture would be held first before the baptism may be conducted afterwards in a separate room and the service for the baptismal candidates be closed there while the main service continues with the other ceremonies slated there are ongoing. In the Empire though, they would not wait for the last ordained to take their seats to begin the post-ordination prayer. If this norm can be acceptable in anyway, it would be only for the remote sites to seat immediately after the prayers and oath-taking (Philippians 2, Matthew 3,11,17)- something that they're obviously supposed to do already (Ezekiel 14)- and not wait to see the main venue being seated (2 Thessalonians 2). Upon determining the dangers imposed by Empire stations against the elect and sealed ones, Edward asks that as much as the consummation of the ages has already came to pass, and all that was expected through the ages has been already happening (latterdaymormon.co.uk), King Edward called on to all fellows and yokebearers to 'rally behind the First Presidency now more than ever, in a collective effort indeed not seen before in history, nor it will be seen again'. (Revelation 18, Daniel 12) 'Unlike what Empire's Yellowtards claim to be purportedly 'faith in God and in people', your Commondominion of Christ offers faith in Godhead and not in mere men, for this faith comes from Godhead in the sense that the Commondominion is exalted as Godhead in Godhead.' According to King Edward citing Jude Thaddeus 1, fellows and yokebearers can do so through the following referring to each members of the Commondominion First Presidency: 1. To Ka Angel. 'Learn to pray in the power of the Hailleey Spirit.' The 'Spirit' referred to Hart is of course Ka Angel the Seal and Sealer of the Hailleey Spirit. Evidently one cannot do so if they rather are wholly given to pabebe, Baal-raising, Archives-hoarding and the like Empire norms. We must not let ourselves be #carriedaway indeed or swayed and persuaded nor be controlled by any pressure by Empire to use us in their desired ends or propaganda. We have already #enough of them. We are asked instead to 'stay within the ends of where you can receive the Grace of Godhead.' The 'grace' referred to Hart of course refers to the name of Ka Angel. His name is similar to that of the Apostle John the Evangelist, hence if Neronians claim to be the 'John class' then that must instead refer to Ka Angel. If we 'stay within the ends', is it already 'finishing touches' again, when in fact it's supposed to end already? The apostles rather mean that we must know our boundaries. (Deuteronomy 4,6, Jeremiah 45) We know so when we submit to the mandates of the sure word of prophecy (2 Peter 1 [July 20, 2018]) because we are enjoined to action to work as supposed and mandated of us (1 Corinthians 10, 2 Peter 3, Luke 12, Psalm 38,90). Empire's infiltration of churches, that led to those churches' apostasy and to the eventual creation of the present-day Empire churches- o how fast they were able to infiltrate the Diocletianites in just 2 years, yet we must not even count the Diocletianites as heavy lost to us- has made the wrong notion that eschatology, or preaching about the prophecies concerning the limits, or 'ends' of this age, or the world, is purported pollution of intellect (Joseph Smith-History 1, 2 Peter 2). The Commondominion of Christ is rather established and is meant, to face such sacrilege (Esther 4) as much as it is called (Nehemiah 3, Revelation 21, John 10, Isaiah 26,35, Psalm 100,95,81, Ecclesiastes 12) to suffer and atone to cleanse eschatology for our time (Ezekiel 5,9, Isaiah 65, Jeremiah 1,18,50-51). The First Presidency, most especially Ka Angel as the Executive Minister, has suffered so much already in the hands of our enemies. It's high time we share in their sufferings, as much as they sought shouldering the sacrifices we already make out of good faith in the altar of our merciless, sugar-coated captors in the Empire (Ezekiel 38-39, Ephesians 5). The First Presidency makes these sacrifices, as much as they know very well our needs, much more than this Empire (John 10-19). 2. To Ka Ellix. Ka Ellix, as Bearer of the Name of the Godhead, also bears the name of the Sugo, the grandfather of Ka Angel. Psalm 39 in Empire's Former Christian Community Bible of the Filipino People 1999 tells us that 'even God Gave everything to us already when He Sent Christ, it's as if everything is still lacking in us and we're still wanting that we need to continually rely in Godhead's Grace.' Empire of course wants to insist themselves to fit in in Godhead when in fact they cannot. Therefore Godhead Gave us the First Presidency, led by Ka Angel, whose name means 'grace'. Further a son was also given to us (Isaiah 9, Luke 1, Revelation 12), the successor-son of Ka Angel, who is Ka Ellix. Edward said this- 'the Sugo is waiting for each and every yokebearer and fellow to meet him in the same divine election as he had, so as for these fellows and yokebearers to fill in his place and continue what he began (Luke 16, Documentary History of the Church 1:329-331, 4:274-286). There can be no more farther great gift that any fellow or yokebearer can harness and cultivate than to work and speak (Ephesians 5) for Godhead as Commondominion Messengers pursuant to their exaltation as Godheads in Godhead. This must rather be indeed the ongoing lifelong highest endeavor (1 Corinthians 12) of each and every fellow and yokebearer- to be far more greater than the Empire (John 8, Matthew 21), through joining what is 'greater than Solomon', or the Commondominion of Christ (Luke 11). Ka Ellix represents your children and eventual seed to come- the generation forthcoming. He will certainly testify (Acts 17) against you (Matthew 7, Documentary History of the Church 1:298-299,221-224), and you shall be indeed accountable to him, if you refuse your posterity to be submitted to his stewardship (Matthew 23-24).' 3. To Joseph Stirling Steinfeld Sykes. Those who were ahead before of us in heaven used the picture of midnight to depict the return of Christ. We have just seen King Edward X use the imagery of high noontime (Job 22). 'If there can be still any midnight cries now, then this has to be concerning the endtime Joseph. You go out and meet him therefore. You know you're losing much when you do not (Matthew 20). I apply the Midnight Cry to be fulfilled only in him because he's the endtime Joseph Smith. Hence he implements the new and everlasting gospel of celestial marriage. In fact, as per the lunar#eclipse this July 27th, calendars in the Philippines list that the Full Moon this July 28th is 4:20 am in local time, therefore Rolando Dizon and Isaiah Samson cannot even claim this as complimentary of their corruption, because 420 is near 421 cead, the year Moroni hid the plates that was later on entrusted to Joseph Smith at #hillcumorah in 1823 [for April 20, see Reorganized Doctrine and Covenants 123:1-31 and Millennial Dispensation 20:1-9 {themillennialdispensation.org}]. Many Commondominion martyrs through history identified themselves as 'married to Christ'. If you love these martyrs, and you desire hence to be like them in faith, then all ye fellows and yokebearers must 'marry Christ' in the sense that you marry the endtime Joseph (Isaiah 8,45, Colossians 3, Psalm 31, Song of Solomon), and be closely in fellowship with him (Philippians 3, 1 John 1). This concept has been failed to realize by the hysterical, sensationalizing Empire propagandists who incite women to fight against Godhead and hence annihilate the male race. Prove the Empire wrong, my most beloved fellows and yokebearers. Commit and dedicate yourselves to the endtime Joseph (Romans 6,12, Ephesians 5), and I can tell you, that you will never regret doing all that he tells you, for you are rather the personification of the Gospel Lowe that he brings for your salvation. I reiterate- don't let a calamity convince you to go away from being against Christ to being for His Commondominion. This is why I'm warning you ahead of surely-forthcoming punishments for the Empire, the 3rd Woe that Mother Lindsey preached on July 19, 2018. Surely you don't want indeed to be counted amongst the Empire, but you would rather seek to do good with your predestinated divine election. Now ye do it indeed (2 Samuel 3). We can never run out of discourses to convince you that you belong to the Commondominion of Christ, but time for you to do good on it is surely running out instead, therefore honor my ultimatum.'

Christian camps get creative to attract youth in a tech-distracted age

Steve Rabey, Religion News Service, July 30, 2018

Nearly half of the estimated 14 million American youth going to camp this summer will be attending Christian camps to escape from home, play games with new friends, unplug from technology and seek God in nature.

Fun and faith formation remain the foundation of Christian camping. But kids now enjoy a greater range of activities, including motocross, robotics and theater. At least one camp hosts a weeklong session for kids undergoing gender transitions.

“Christian camping gives kids the opportunity to get away, clear their heads, unplug from tech and hear a message of God’s love for them,” said Gregg Hunter, president and CEO of the Christian Camp and Conference Association, based in Colorado Springs, Colo.

Hunter said that CCCA’s 860 member camps will host approximately 5.5 million kids this summer, a slight increase from 2017.

Creative programming, promotional efforts and an improving economy help attract campers to CCCA camps, which range “from camps run by one or two staff people for a few dozen campers, to camps with 100-plus staffers that serve more than a thousand guests at a time,” said Hunter.

Churches and denominations operate hundreds of camps across the U.S., and attendance varies widely in various faith traditions.

The National Study of Youth and Religion’s 2004 research found that nearly 40 percent of U.S. teens have attended religious camp at least once, with Mormon teens most likely to attend (78 percent), followed by conservative Protestants (53), mainline Protestants (48) and Catholics (24).

Even as they try to adapt to changing times, some Christian camps are not thriving as they once did. Pilgrim Lodge, located on Cobbosseecontee Lake and operated by the Maine Conference of the United Church of Christ, was founded in 1956, but the camp has been struggling to fill its 120 beds for the past few years, said interim director Melinda Trotti, who previously worked at United Methodist camps.

“From the 1950s through the 1980s, our churches were filling our camps,” said Trotti. “It was assumed that children would be in Sunday school, be confirmed and attend camp. Spaghetti suppers and women’s guilds helped raise money so anybody from church who wanted to go to camp would go to camp.”

But Trotti said many mainline denominations are witnessing a decline in the number of children in church. “Some churches don’t even have Sunday schools for children,” she said. “Our churches are not filling our camps the way they once did.”

Working from a consultant’s sustainability plan, Pilgrim Lodge is continuing to reach out to new audiences. In addition to hosting camps for families, grandparents and their grandchildren, and a camp for those 55 and over called Vintage Ventures, they have also launched Camp Pride for high school students who are gay, lesbian, transgender or transitioning. “They come here and are not just welcomed and understood, but are affirmed,” said Trotti.

Pilgrim Lodge is also partnering with other organizations to offer camps to serve children of refugees and migrant farm workers, adults with AIDS and groups leading anti-racism training and education.

“People need places where we sing together, eat together, serve food to each other and participate in worship together, especially at a time when we see increasing social media use and greater loneliness, anxiety and depression among young people,” said Trotti.

The grandeur of creation remains a big draw at the 37 camp programs operated by the evangelical youth ministry Young Life, which served more than 66,000 campers last year and expects a slight increase this year.

“Our goal is to create an environment where kids can experience Christ,” said spokesman Terry Swenson.

Most campers at Young Life’s camps are members of local Young Life groups. “Young Life camps are an extension of Young Life area ministries,” said Swenson. “Leaders take kids to camp, and they come home with their kids.”

Young Life operates outreach camps, discipleship camps, wilderness camps and sessions for children with disabilities. Swenson said LGBT youth are welcome at Young Life camps.

Both Young Life and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes report recent growth in their camping programs, which include locations overseas. FCA spokesman Patrick Benner said that 2017 was record-breaking, with more than 113,000 coaches and athletes attending 780 camps in 45 states and 41 countries. FCA expects overseas attendance numbers to increase this summer.

While programs at Christian camps are diversifying, the core attraction remains experiencing nature. As CCCA’s Hunter and other industry leaders said, camps remain the best antidote to the “nature deficit disorder” experienced by so many of today’s children.

Hunter said most CCCA camps require campers to drop off their smartphones at registration. “Counselors are equipped to deal with withdrawal symptoms. But after the first day or two or three, kids are actually looking at each other and talking to each other instead of texting.”
