The True Remnant

🌀 Chiasmic Structure Centered on the Peacemaker and His Doctrine From the Record of Morráoni, son of Moroni – the Words of Tismodel (Timothy), Translated Nephite 📖 Book of Tsihohnayah Ahkehkthihm, Chapter 14 🌿 Ancient Patterns, Living Doctrine The pattern is ancient. It is the language of the Spirit. The prophets knew it. So did the disciples who walked with Christ. And when the Lord Himself speaks… He speaks in patterns. He speaks in power. This is the voice of Tismodel—the translated one. One of the three disciples who never tasted death. A minister across the generations… A witness of the Doctrine of Christ. 🌀 A Chiasm From the Dust This sacred structure in Chapter 14 shows how the Doctrine of Christ is framed—line by line—around the Savior Himself. Here’s how it unfolds: 🔹 A: Tismodel comes among the Nemenhah and teaches plainly the Doctrine of Christ. 🔹 B: He speaks by the power of the Spirit; no one can argue against his words. 🔹 C: He calls out to all the ends of the eart...

🕊️ Healed Every Whit Even if I still limp a little I’m driving north today, up to Salt Lake, to get my spine checked out. Cervical stenosis. Balance issues. A body wearing thin in places. But before I got too far, I felt to stop and see someone very dear to me—my cousin and his family. Now, these folks… they walk with the Lord. Not in name only. Not in Sunday clothes. They carry His Spirit in their home. You can feel it in the air. You can see it in their children’s eyes. And what happened in their living room today… I will never forget it. 🛐 A Circle of Blessing We gathered in prayer. No show. No script. Just faith. One by one, each child laid hands on me. Then the mother. Then the father. Each spoke words over me—words from heaven. And they didn’t close with an amen. Because the blessing wasn’t ending. It was continuing… multiplying… expanding… like light filling every corner of a once-dark house. It felt like something out of the Book of Mormon— when they say “the tongue cannot ex...

  🌿 The Remnant: It’s Not Who We Thought When I used to hear the word  remnant , I thought it meant the few good Latter-day Saints left before the Second Coming. But that’s not what the scriptures say. The remnant isn’t just those with perfect records. It’s not about temple recommends or church activity. The  real remnant  is something older… deeper… holier. 🪶 Who the Lord Calls His Remnant “And I will gather the remnant of My people… and they shall no more be afraid nor dismayed.” —Jeremiah 23:3 “They are a remnant of the seed of Joseph… and they shall build a city, which shall be called the New Jerusalem.” —3 Nephi 21:23 “The remnant shall return… unto the mighty God.” —Isaiah 10:21 They are the brokenhearted. The cast-off. The ones He has  preserved  for a purpose. Not polished. Not elite. Just faithful in the fire. 📺 What  The Chosen  Helped Me See Lately, I’ve been watching  The Chosen . And every time the Savior calls someone new to ...

  🧱 Zion Won’t Come from Headquarters We’ve built a lot of things. Temples with chandeliers. Manuals with footnotes. Hierarchies with handbooks. But I have to ask... Where’s Zion? That city with no poor among them. That people of one heart and one mind. That place where Christ walks among us—not just metaphorically, but literally? I’ve heard leaders say  we’re building it. But I’ve looked around… and I’m not so sure. 🏗️ The Blueprint Hasn’t Changed Zion doesn’t come from the top down. It never did. God gave us the pattern in  3 Nephi  and in the  Nemenhah . He gave it through  Enoch ,  Melchizedek , and  Moroni . And the pattern never once involved: A worldwide brand A billion-dollar portfolio Or remote leadership from an ivory tower Instead, it always started with people— humble people —being born again. Being filled with the Spirit. Living with no hierarchy but the Lord. 📜 The Book of Mormon Told Us This “And there were no contentions and dis...

  🔥 The Baptism of Fire: Not Just Symbolic I used to think baptism was mostly about water. You get dunked, you feel clean, you move on. But there’s another baptism the scriptures talk about—one that doesn’t happen in a font, or under a steeple, or on the Church calendar. It happens in fire. And it’s  real . 🟣  I learned this the hard way. Or maybe the holy way. It wasn’t in a classroom. It was when I was wrestling. Searching. Studying the Book of Mormon on my mission—coloring the words that mattered most. I still remember: Purple for the Atonement Blue for obedience Red for the warnings Green for the promises The Book came alive. And so did something in me. One night, I felt the fire—not in my head, but in my soul. I was alone. But I wasn’t alone. I didn’t see angels. But I saw truth. And from that night forward, the scriptures were no longer just  words . They were living water. And holy fire. 🕊️ What the Book of Mormon Actually Says “Then cometh a remission of y...

  ✴️ Two Churches Only A Wake-Up Call for the Sleeping Saints 📖  “Wherefore, he that fighteth against Zion, both Jew and Gentile… yea, and all those who belong to the kingdom of the devil are they who need fear, and tremble, and quake.” — 2 Nephi 28:19 🌓 The Lie of the Middle Way Let’s just come out and say it: There are  not three churches. There are not five. There is no “gray zone” or spiritual Switzerland. There are  only two churches. The Church of the Lamb. And the Church of the devil. It doesn’t matter what’s printed on the nameplate. It doesn’t matter if your church sings “I Am a Child of God” or sends out elders two by two. It doesn’t even matter if it once came from God. If it fights  against  Zion, If it teaches  false traditions , If it upholds  priestcraft , If it  rejects  the fullness of the gospel... Then it’s part of the wrong church. And we’ve all been taught to pretend that it’s not. 😴 Sleeping in the Comfort of Fal...

  🕊️ Healing and Deliverance Beauty for Ashes. Freedom for Captives. Zion Rising. "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me..." "...to bind up the brokenhearted..." "...to set the captives free." — Isaiah 61:1–3 🔥 What Jesus Came to Do This passage isn’t just beautiful. It’s the mission of the Messiah. It’s what Jesus read out loud in the synagogue, saying: “Today this is fulfilled.” He wasn’t quoting prophecy. He was  fulfilling it . Right there. For them… And for you. The Nemenhah call Him  Ahmohnayah  — the Peacemaker. “He took upon Him our infirmities, and by the shedding of His blood, the very soul of the earth was healed… And through Him, we also may be healed, in body and in spirit, if we shall come unto Him in sacred manner.” —  Tsihohnayah Ahkehkthihm , Ch. 11 ⚔️ Love Story in a War Zone John Eldredge reminds us: “You live in a love story, but it’s set in a very dangerous war.” The Nemenhah say the same: “There is war in the land and in the soul, a...

  🕊️  The Voice We’re Not Hearing Anymore “And the arm of the Lord shall be revealed…” (D&C 1:14) That’s future tense. This wasn’t all fulfilled in 1831. The arm of the Lord is still being revealed. And when it is—when the veil thins and heaven speaks again—many will find themselves on the wrong side of the line. But here’s the hard truth: This warning isn’t for the world. It’s for  us . 📜  Who Broke the Covenant? “They have strayed from mine ordinances, and have broken mine everlasting covenant…” (D&C 1:15) Let’s get clear on who  they  is. This is talking about people who once walked in covenant. They  had  the ordinances. They  knew  the voice of the Lord. They  followed  prophets and apostles. But then something happened. They stopped listening. They strayed. They broke it. This isn’t about outsiders. It’s about insiders who drifted into ritual without power, policies without presence. 🧍‍♂️  “Every Man Walke...

🕊️  “Can We Go to the Temple Today?” — A Morning I Didn’t Expect, and a Lord Who Walks With Us This morning I woke up and asked the Lord: “Is there anything I can do for You today?” I didn’t expect an answer quite like this. See, I’ve been writing a lot of blogs lately. Pouring things out. Sharing what He’s been showing me. And honestly, I wasn’t sure what to do next. I felt kind of… empty-handed. My dear wife is going through radiation. It’s been hard. And yet this morning, lying in bed, she reached over, took my hand, and said: “Can we go to the temple today?” I blinked. That wasn’t in the plan. But how could I say no? She loves the temple. Always has. And I know—there’s good in it. We’ve studied, we’ve compared with the Nemenhah Records. So much of the old temple pattern is true. Holy. Symbolic. Given from above. But the system? The way it’s all been packaged, polished, and controlled? That’s where I ache. I walk into the celestial room and look up at the chandeliers. Polished ...

📅 June 27th. 181 years since the Martyrdom at Carthage. And today… I watched another story of a man who paid a steep price— Not with blood this time, But with belonging. 🧑‍🏫 Who Is Benjamin Park? Benjamin Park isn’t some loud apostate. He’s a believing Latter-day Saint. A historian. A scholar. A man who studied the records, prayed over them, and wrote what he found. But that was the problem. Because what he found didn’t fit the narrative. 📜 The Post-Manifesto Secret The Church says polygamy ended in 1890. The Manifesto said so. But Benjamin found documents. Testimonies. Proof that some of the Brethren—at the very top— Kept performing plural marriages in secret long after 1890… …and even after 1904, when the Church doubled down in public. ⚖️ Truth vs. Loyalty 🔹 Benjamin didn’t say this to tear down faith. 🔹 He didn’t rage. He didn’t rebel. 🔹 He just told the truth. But in the Church today… Truth without permission = apostasy. So they excommunicated him. They called it something e...

  🩸  June 27th: A Day of Martyrs, Murders, and Memory June 27th, 2025. 181 years  since the murder of Joseph and Hyrum Smith. One hundred eighty-one. And I have to ask… 🔔  Have We Built Zion Yet? Are we even close? We’ve built a lot of things. Beautiful buildings. Worldwide programs. Countless manuals and temples. But is  Zion  here yet? That city where no poor are left behind... where all are one heart and one mind... where Christ Himself walks among the people? Sometimes I wonder if we’ve traded the blueprint for something safer— something shinier, maybe. But not holier. And yet— there’s hope. Something’s happening. People are waking up. Not everyone. But enough to shake the ground. As I wrote once in my journal: Zion won’t be built from the top down. It’ll rise from the humble... one awakened heart at a time. 🎬  The Chosen and the Women at the Table Last night, I watched an episode of  The Chosen —season 5, episode 4, I think. The Savior was...

  🕊️  When Jesus Shows Up   Walking, Winking, and Breaking Bread with God You ever notice how Jesus sneaks up on you sometimes? You’re just walking the fairway, muttering about your slice, and then suddenly—you feel Him smiling. Not booming. Not rebuking. Just  smiling . You look around and there’s nobody but wind and sky and maybe a hawk watching. But your heart? It’s burning. That’s what happened to those two disciples on the road to Emmaus. They were heartbroken, confused, stuck in the grief of what  they thought  was the end of the story. Then a stranger joined them. He listened. Taught. Didn’t flash His glory. He let them beg Him to stay. And when He broke the bread? Everything lit up. Their eyes opened. Their hearts caught fire. And they realized they’d been walking with Jesus the whole time. 👣  Walking the Road with the Lord This whole journey—this walk with the Lord—isn’t about titles, positions, or perfection. It’s about learning to recogniz...

  🪟  Jesus at the Kitchen Window A quiet reminder to open the door. We Built the House I’ve been guilty of it too—letting Jesus in, but only through the side window. Never the front door. Not because I don’t love Him. I do. But I think somewhere deep down, I got scared of what might happen if I opened everything. The old wounds, the stuff I was taught, the fear of getting it wrong again. So I built walls. Nice, spiritual walls. And I let Jesus wave at me through the kitchen window. He Doesn’t Fit the System Religion likes to package Him neat—fold Him into formulas, dress Him up in conference talks and predictable prayers. But Jesus doesn’t fit the system. He didn’t then. He doesn’t now. He broke bread with outcasts and called fishermen His friends. He walked outside the lines and invited people to follow Him—not a manual. That’s what I’ve been trying to say in my book. This walk? It’s not a checklist. It’s a fire. It burns up everything that isn’t real. The Limits We Inherite...
