Waking Up Zion — The Book

BABYLON FALLS….......... ZION RISES

Image
  BABYLON FALLS… ZION RISES The Last Days Pattern in the Nemenhah Records What Happens When a Society Places a Price on Everything There is a pattern repeated throughout scripture. Not just in the Bible. Not just in the Book of Mormon. But also in the Nemenhah Records. A society slowly drifts away from stewardship… away from sacred relationship… away from seeing life as holy… …and begins measuring everything by value, ownership, control, profit, efficiency, and money. At first, it looks successful. The cities grow. The markets expand. The buildings rise higher. Technology advances. The system becomes powerful outwardly. But inwardly? It becomes brittle. That is exactly the warning given in Chapter 10 of the Nemenhah Records concerning the “Foreign Strangers.”   THE BOOK OF MAYMIHTS AHKEHKT. Not necessarily foreigners by blood… …but a mindset. A way of thinking. A civilization built on valuation instead of consecration. THE WARNING OF CHAPTER 10 The Nemenhah says somethin...

  πŸͺΆ Part 3 — What If Zion Was Never Meant to Be Complicated? (The Pattern That Started Changing Everything) πŸ“– Part 3 of the series Are We Afraid of Truth? (Go to the blog homepage and search the title πŸ”) Up to this point… I had been asking: “What’s true?” But then something shifted. The question changed. 🌱 A Different Question It became: “What does Zion actually look like?” Not what I’d always heard. Not what I assumed. But what it really is. 🧭 What I Used to Think For most of my life, I thought Zion meant: structure organization programs leadership systems And again… those things aren’t bad. But I started noticing something. πŸ‘‰ None of that was ever the center of Christ’s message. πŸ•Š️ What Christ Actually Showed When you go back to Him… Zion looks simple. People who love each other People who care for one another People who walk with God People who have no poor among them That’s it. No complexity. No pressure. Just… real. πŸ‘️ Something Clicked As I kept walking this path… I ...

Video 80 --- πŸŒ„ When the Questions Begin

Image
πŸŒ„ When the Questions Begin Something interesting happens in almost every spiritual journey. At some point,   questions start showing up . Not rebellious questions. Not angry questions. Just honest ones. Questions that quietly tap you on the shoulder and say: “Hey… have you ever thought about this?” For a lot of people, that moment feels uncomfortable. But in reality, it may be one of the   most important moments in a person’s life . 🌱 The First Little Nudge For me, those questions didn’t arrive all at once. They came slowly. Sometimes it was a scripture that didn’t quite match the way I had always heard it explained. Sometimes it was noticing that different people in religion were saying completely different things about the same topic. Sometimes it was simply the feeling that: “There might be more here than I’ve been told.” That’s how the journey often starts. Not with a big earthquake. Just a   small nudge . πŸ“– When Scripture Starts Talking Something interesting also ...

πŸͺΆ Part 2 — When the Pieces Start Fitting Together (What Happens When You Stop Looking Away) πŸ“– Part 2 of the series Are We Afraid of Truth? (Go to the blog homepage and search the title πŸ”) Yesterday I shared something simple. Questions came… and instead of pushing them away, I brought them to Christ. I didn’t expect what came next. 🌱 It Didn’t Get Messier… It Got Clearer I thought if I leaned into those questions… things would fall apart. But that’s not what happened. Instead… things started to make more sense. Not all at once. Just slowly. ⚖️ The Questions Didn’t Go Away Let’s be honest… they were still there. But now I wasn’t afraid of them. I started looking at things more clearly: Why do some teachings change over time? Why are some things taught strongly… then later adjusted? Why do certain patterns repeat? These weren’t attacks. They were just honest observations. πŸ” A Pattern Started Showing Up This is what really caught my attention. Not just one issue… a pattern. Over time,...

πŸͺΆ Part 1 — When Questions Come (The Beginning Most People Don’t Talk About)

πŸͺΆ Part 1 — When Questions Come (The Beginning Most People Don’t Talk About) πŸ“– Part 1 of the series Are We Afraid of Truth? (Go to the blog homepage and search the title πŸ”) There was a time when I wasn’t questioning anything. I believed. I trusted. And honestly… I felt good about it. 🌱 It Didn’t Start With Doubt This is important. It didn’t start with doubt. It started with something much quieter. A question. Just a simple thought like: “That doesn’t quite make sense…” Not angry. Not rebellious. Just… honest. 🧭 The First Reaction If you’ve ever had that moment… you know what usually comes next. You try to push it down. You tell yourself: “I just need more faith” “Don’t go there” “Focus on the basics” And for a while… that works. ⚖️ But Questions Don’t Just Disappear They sit there. Quietly. And over time… they grow. Not because you want them to… but because they’re real. You start noticing things like: Teachings that don’t quite line up Things that were said one way… then later ano...

Video 79 --- πŸ”Š Why It’s Hard to Hear Christ Today

Image
πŸ”Š Why It’s Hard to Hear Christ Today The other morning I woke up at about three o’clock and started connecting a lot of things I’ve been studying for years. Scriptures. Chiasmus. The Doctrine of Christ. Learning to listen for the Savior. All of it seemed to come together in a way that made me smile. But one question kept coming back to me. Why is it so hard for people today to hear Christ? I don’t think it’s because the Savior stopped speaking. I think it’s because the world got   very loud . πŸ“Ί The Noise Around Us Think about the world we live in now. We are surrounded by noise every single day. • television • social media • political arguments • religious debates • constant news. Everybody has an opinion. Everybody has a platform. Everybody wants to convince you of something. And somewhere inside all that noise is the quiet voice of Christ. The problem is not that He stopped speaking. The problem is that   we stopped listening . 🌬 The Still Small Voice One thing I’ve notic...

πŸ•Š️ Gethsemane

  🎡 Listen while you read Gethsemane https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GijSuQM5OU πŸ•Š️ Gethsemane Where Love Bore What We Could Not Carry πŸŒ™ The Quietest Victory Some victories come with trumpets. This one came in a garden. Night air. Olive trees. A Savior kneeling. And somehow… the weight of all things. I have often thought— the holiest moments are not always the loudest. Sometimes they are whispered. This song feels like a whisper. And it reaches deep. 🌿 He Entered Our Sorrows There is a line in the Christian heart we spend a lifetime trying to understand: He suffered for us. We say it. But sometimes songs let us feel it. This one does. Not as doctrine only. As tenderness. As cost. As love. Gethsemane says: You are not alone in pain. He entered it. πŸͺΆ The Garden Was About Love Sometimes people picture atonement mostly as payment. But I have come to see something deeper. Participation. Christ entered human anguish— to be with us in it, to redeem it, to carry us through it. That ch...
