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...

🎡 Wednesday Music Reflection 🌿 The Goodness of God

🎡 Wednesday Music Reflection 🌿 The Goodness of God Every Wednesday afternoon I like to share a piece of music that has touched my heart. This week it is a beautiful rendition of: 🎢 Goodness of God – Megan Tibbits https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngijoHH9KPU Take a few minutes and listen to it before reading any further. Then come back. I'll wait. πŸ’§ Looking Back One thing happens when you get to be 74 years old. You start looking backward as much as you look forward. When you're young, you dream about where you're going. When you're older, you begin to see where you've been. And if you've walked with the Lord for very long, you start noticing something. He was there the whole time. The victories. The failures. The mistakes. The miracles. The mountains. The valleys. Looking back, I can see His hand in places where I couldn't see it at the time. The Goodness We Miss Sometimes we pray for blessings and don't recognize them when they come. We ask for stren...

πŸͺΆ The Circle Returns II

Image
πŸͺΆ The Circle Returns II Listen to the NEW Song of Zion:    The Circle Returns II "Grandmother smiled into the fire, and the stars filled up the sky..." Some truths are too deep to explain with a sermon. They must be lived. They must be watched. They must be felt. One of those truths is the sacred circle. The Nemenhah people have long taught that life moves in circles rather than straight lines. The sun rises in the east and returns again. The seasons continually turn. A seed falls into the earth, dies, and returns as a harvest. Water rises into the clouds only to fall again as rain. Nothing in the Creator's world is wasted. Everything returns. That same pattern is found in our own lives. Every act of kindness begins a circle. Every harsh word begins a circle. Every forgiveness... Every mercy... Every sacrifice... Every selfish act... Like ripples upon still water, they travel far beyond what we can see. Eventually, they return. This is not merely a law of nature. It is a...

πŸ•Š️ A Different Way — What We Saw in the Records

Image
  πŸ•Š️ A Different Way — What We Saw in the Records This last study we did… wasn’t just reading. It felt like seeing something clearly. And I want to write this down simple, so anyone can go back and check it for themselves. πŸ“– Where This Comes From These teachings come from: AYAHTKUHYAHT NEMENHAH The Book of Ordinances and Ceremonies πŸ‘‰   Chapter 3 — Blessings, Healing, Stewardship πŸ‘‰   Chapter 4 — Marriage, Sabbath, Community Worship This section is found in: πŸ“„   Volume 2 of the PDF (around pages 712–717) πŸͺΆ A Quick Note on the Record The Nemenhah Records present themselves as: πŸ‘‰ Ancient teachings πŸ‘‰ Passed down through generations πŸ‘‰ Preserved and translated later They’re not claiming to be invented. They’re claiming to be remembered. And like anything… you test it by what it produces. πŸ‘‰ Does it bring you closer to Christ? πŸ‘‰ Does it feel true? That’s the real test. πŸ•Š️ The Most Important Thing We Saw If I had to sum up the whole chapter in one line: πŸ‘‰ Everythi...

πŸͺΆ THE QUIET RISE OF ZION**

Image
 πŸͺΆ  THE QUIET RISE OF ZION** *How the Lord’s work returns to the earth* --- πŸ”₯ **A Thought as This Series Ends** Over the last many videos we’ve talked about a lot of things. We looked at: • chiasmus in the scriptures • the blueprint of Zion • the refuge • what destroys Zion • the sacred path • the Doctrine of Christ • Babylon and Zion • hearing the Savior’s voice And if you step back and look at all those pieces together, a simple picture begins to appear. The work of God almost never begins the way people expect. It rarely begins with great power. It rarely begins with large institutions. Most of the time… it begins quietly. --- πŸ“œ **The Prophets Saw This Pattern** The prophet **Isaiah** described the Lord’s work growing like something small that eventually blesses the whole earth. The prophet **Daniel** described the kingdom of God like a stone cut out of the mountain without hands that slowly fills the whole earth. > “The stone that smote the image became a great mount...

πŸͺΆ WHEN ZION QUIETLY REPLACES BABYLON**

Image
 πŸͺΆ  WHEN ZION QUIETLY REPLACES BABYLON** *How the scriptures describe the slow turning of the world* --- πŸ”₯ **Two Ways of Living** When you study the scriptures long enough, you begin to see that the world is always moving between two different patterns. The scriptures call them different things in different places, but the idea is the same. One way is the way of **Babylon**. The other way is the way of **Zion**. Babylon is not just a city in the ancient world. It represents a **way of living**. A way where power, wealth, and control become the center of society. Zion represents the opposite. A way of living where humility, stewardship, and love guide the people. --- πŸ“œ **The Bible Warns About Babylon** In the Bible, Babylon became the symbol of a proud society built on wealth and power. The prophet wrote: > “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen.” > — Revelation 18:2 Babylon always appears strong for a season. It looks impressive. It looks powerful. But the scriptures...

🌊 The Virtue Wheel

Image
🌊 The Virtue Wheel Purity of Heart and Learning to Walk in Integrity πŸͺΆ Out of all the Four Pillars, virtue may be one of the easiest to misunderstand. The word itself has gathered a lot of baggage over the years. Some people hear “virtue” and immediately think: harsh moralism, religious performance, public image, shame, or outward perfection. But the deeper I studied the Nemenhah teachings, the more I realized: virtue is much deeper than appearances. It is about alignment. Integrity. Purity of heart. The inner and outer self slowly becoming the same. That understanding eventually became: The Virtue Wheel. And honestly? This wheel may be one of the quietest… but also one of the deepest. 🌿 One thing repeatedly emphasized throughout the records is that the Peacemaker sees the heart. Not merely outward behavior. Not merely public reputation. The heart. That changes the entire spirit of virtue. Because true virtue is not primarily about looking righteous. It is about becoming inwardly ho...

THE BLUEPRINT OF ZION --- "Zion is not first a place to build. It is a people to become."

Image
THE BLUEPRINT OF ZION "Zion is not first a place to build. It is a people to become." Listen to the NEW Song of Zion:   The Blueprint of Zion When most people hear the word Zion , they picture a city. Some imagine walls. Others think of temples. Still others dream of a future gathering place somewhere upon the earth. Those things may have their place. But long before Zion becomes a city... It must become a people. That is the blueprint. The Pattern Never Changes Throughout history, the Lord has always begun the same way. He changes hearts before He changes societies. He teaches individuals before He builds nations. He forms families before He establishes communities. Zion has never been built from the outside in. It has always been built from the inside out. That is why the Savior spent so much time changing hearts instead of organizing governments. The Four Pillars Every enduring house requires a solid foundation. The ancient pattern describes four great pillars: Knowledge L...
