✨ CHIASMUS IS SACRED STRUCTURE — THE DIVINE PATTERN IN GOD’S VOICE
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.”
—Isaiah 55:8
We often think of revelation as a sudden flash of insight.
But what if God has been speaking to us all along—not just in the words, but in the structure?
What if there is a heavenly pattern woven into true scripture, true prophecy, and true spiritual speech?
That pattern has a name:
CHIASMUS.
🧑🌾 A Personal Note — Working with a Nemenhah Translator
Over the past few months, I’ve been blessed to work closely with a Nemenhah translator, one of the five original translators of the Nemenhah Records. These records were translated around 2002.
Three of the original translators have now passed on. One—a faithful woman—lives quietly in Taiwan. The translator I work with remains in Missouri.
We’ve been studying chiastic patterns together—those hidden, sacred structures in the writings of prophets like Mohrhohnahyah (Moroni of the Book of Mormon), Mahnti, and Tsihohnayah. The more we examine, the more we realize:
These are not poetic tricks.
These are heavenly fingerprints.
These sacred records weren’t just translated—they were preserved for our generation. And what they contain lines up perfectly with the voice of God found in the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and even the pattern of the gospel itself.
We’re not just reading holy books—we’re tuning into the rhythm of God.
🌀 What Is Chiasmus?
Chiasmus is a poetic, prophetic structure where truths are mirrored around a sacred center.
Visualize it like this:
A
B
C
➤ D (Central, Sacred Truth)
C'
B'
A'
It’s the way the Lord teaches through reflection, focus, and balance.
The most important truth?
It’s in the middle.
That’s where He places Himself.
📚 Where Does Chiasmus Show Up?
You’ll find it in just a few places…
✅ The Bible — Genesis, Isaiah, Psalms, Deuteronomy, Jeremiah.
✅ The Book of Mormon — Alma 36, Mosiah 5, Helaman 6. & many more places.
✅ The Nemenhah Records — Hundreds of deep prophetic chiasms confirmed by the Spirit.
✅ Teachings of Christ — “The first shall be last, and the last shall be first.”
✅ Inspired Oratory — Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream.” George Washington’s Inaugural Address.
Incredibly, many of these sacred orations—though not labeled scripture—resonate with the cadence of divine speech.
But where don’t you find it?
❌ Rarely in textbooks.
❌ Rarely in novels.
❌ Occasionally in sermons or conference talks—but only when the Spirit truly moves.
❌ Rarely in lectures, traditions, or manuals written by the arm of flesh.
Chiasmus is not man’s voice.
It’s God’s.
🔥 The Doctrine of Christ Is a Chiasm
The true pattern of the gospel mirrors this divine design.
FAITH
REPENTANCE
BAPTISM
HOLY GHOST (🔥 The Center)
PURIFICATION
ONENESS WITH CHRIST
ETERNAL LIFE
We begin in faith, pass through fire, and are remade in His image.
🏛️ A Classic Example: Alma 36
Alma’s personal conversion in Alma 36 is one of the most perfect chiasms ever written. It goes verse by verse.
It centers on this line verse 18:
“O Jesus, thou Son of God, have mercy on me.”
Everything before that leads to it.
Everything after flows from it.
It’s not accidental.
It’s divine structure.
📖 Another Favorite: Mosiah 3:19
“For the natural man is an enemy to God…”
It continues:
“...and has been from the fall of Adam,
and will be forever and ever,
unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit,
and putteth off the natural man
and becometh a saint
through the atonement of Christ the Lord,
and becometh as a child,
submissive, meek, humble..."
The reversal is clear.
Put off the flesh.
Receive the Spirit.
Become new.
That’s chiasmus.
📜 Nemenhah Examples
Let’s look at a real one:
From Tsihohnayah Ahkehkthihm 14:47–89:
A — The strangers who received the restoration turned from it.
B — Yet the Lord used them for their industry.
C — They built up works in the name of Zion but not by His voice.
D — A remnant shall rise and rebuild according to His word.
C' — The great works shall fall because they were not founded on revelation.
B' — The Lord remembers the laborers who acted in faith.
A' — Zion shall be established again—but only by those who hear His voice.
And from Mohrhohnahyah 4:
“I beheld the rising of the Gentiles, yea, their faith and their churches.
But then I saw their fall, for they loved riches more than my Word.
Yet out of them shall come a small flock, and I will be their Shepherd.”
That’s the pattern. That’s the voice.
🧬 The Fingerprint of the Divine
God is not chaotic.
He doesn’t ramble.
He doesn’t contradict Himself.
He speaks in patterns—sacred spirals—that echo through scripture and soul.
When you read real scripture, you feel it.
Not just in the words.
But in the flow.
It leads you upward, then inward, then home.
🧠 The Final Deduction
You asked:
“Can we say that chiasmus is almost always found only in spiritual writing?”
Yes.
Not just often.
Almost exclusively.
Chiasmus is found in:
The Bible
The Book of Mormon
The Nemenhah Records
The Lord’s Voice to the Humble
It is rarely found in:
Manuals
Most sermons
Self-help books
Fiction
Debate and commentary
Because the Lord’s voice is not like man’s voice.
And chiasmus is not man’s pattern.
It is God’s.
In our study from just a few of the chapters in the Nemenhah Records of the other day, Look Here!
Yes, there are multiple layers of chiasmus in Chapters 4 and 5 of The First Book of Pah Nahtahn—especially around the central themes of rejection, divine warning, spiritual power, repentance, and covenant renewal.
Let’s examine a few key chiasmic patterns, including:
🔷 CHIASMUS #1: The Pattern of Rejection and Destruction in Lahmahn (Chapter 4)
A – Sahnhahgoht teaches truth; many rejoice (v.1)
B – Some are ashamed and covet riches (v.2)
C – Leaders twist his words to accuse him (v.3–5)
D – Sahnhahgoht escapes by divine warning (v.6)
E – The poor are violently cast out (v.7–8)
F – Sahnhahgoht curses the city with fire (v.9–12)
E′ – Guards try to capture him; he escapes supernaturally (v.13–15)
D′ – Outcasts gather to him in the wilderness (v.16–18)
C′ – Wayus sends soldiers with false charges (v.19–22)
B′ – Soldiers fight and destroy each other (lust for power turns inward) (v.23–27)
A′ – The mission ends; prophecy fulfilled; city burned (v.28)
📍Focus: The inner turning point is F, the curse of destruction by fire because they rejected the Prophet and shed innocent blood.
🔷 CHIASMUS #2: Confrontation in Ayohts – The Prophet and the Abused Sister (Chapter 5)
A – Sahnhahgoht arrives in Ayohts and finds his abused sister (vv.1–4)
B – Ohmer mocks her and justifies the city's cruelty (vv.5–15)
C – Sahnhahgoht rebukes the crowd: “What is your hospitality?” (vv.16–30)
D – He reveals her noble lineage (vv.31–47)
E – Prophecy of fire and destruction for Ayohts (vv.48–58)
D′ – Ohmer tries to justify riches as divine favor (vv.59–66)
C′ – Sahnhahgoht unmasks their false judgment (vv.67–79)
B′ – He warns them of their hypocrisy and foretells fire (vv.80–91)
A′ – The crowd disperses; some kneel and repent (vv.92–97)
📍Focus: The central pivot E is again a prophecy of fiery judgment—a hallmark of true chiasmus in prophetic scripture. The emotional mirror begins and ends with abuse of the innocent and their vindication.
🔷 CHIASMUS #3: The Repentance and Covenant Pattern (End of Chapter 5)
A – Seven repentant men are forgiven (vv.94–96)
B – Sahnhahgoht teaches them about covenant and baptism (vv.97–112)
C – Nemenhah baptism is done repeatedly as renewal, not church joining (vv.113–115)
D – The men desire baptism to be cleansed (v.116–118)
E – Hihmpahnehts baptizes them by the Spirit’s direction (v.119–123)
D′ – Sahnhahgoht lays hands and adopts them as Nemenhah (v.124)
C′ – Their covenant is not with church, but with the Peacemaker (v.125)
B′ – They preach peace as disciples in many cities (v.126)
A′ – Until they face opposition again at Kahds (v.127)
📍Focus: E, the baptism by a woman prophetess, marks the spiritual turning point. The chiastic emphasis is on personal covenant renewal and the Holy Ghost, not on institutional religion.
🪞 WHY THESE CHIASMI MATTER
These patterns are not accidental. They:
Emphasize prophetic authority and divine justice.
Teach the inversion of worldly values (e.g., riches ≠ righteousness).
Center the narrative on repentance, rebuke, and restoration.
Validate the structure as sacred scripture through Hebraic poetic form.

🕊️ Final Thought
“God is not the author of confusion, but of peace.”
—1 Corinthians 14:33
So how does He speak peace?
Through order.
Through pattern.
Through balance.
Through fire.
Through chiasmus.
In the Bible.
In the Book of Mormon.
In the Nemenhah Records.
In the still, small voice that pierces your soul.
And what do we always find in the center?
✨ The most important thing that CHRIST wants you to know.
Always.
