🌿 The Olive Leaf – God’s Law Written in Light ---- Section 88
🌿 The Olive Leaf – God’s Law Written in Light
There are some revelations that feel like a fire.
Others, like a storm.
Section 88… feels like sunrise.
Joseph called it the Olive Leaf — a message of peace given after a prophecy of war.
And it reads like God’s own invitation to step out of the noise, look up at the order of His creation, and see our place in it.
🌞 Light Cleaves to Light
The Lord revealed that all things — from the smallest grain of dust to the greatest star — are governed by eternal law.
Not man’s law.
Not a church handbook.
But His law.
And here’s the part that’s always been simple, yet so often misunderstood:
“That which is governed by law is preserved by law and perfected and sanctified by the same.”
God’s law isn’t a hurdle to jump or a checklist to pass.
It’s like gravity — constant, pure, and unchanging.
If we walk in it, it shapes us, polishes us, makes us whole.
If we resist it, we drift away into chaos and darkness.
And in the end?
Light cleaves to light.
You will naturally be drawn to the place — and the people — whose light matches your own.
🌍 The Redemption of the Earth
Section 88 isn’t just about saving souls.
It’s about saving the planet — literally.
The earth will be resurrected, crowned with glory, and become the dwelling place of God.
No more decay. No more curse.
Every tree, every river, every mountain will be part of His eternal kingdom.
This isn’t symbolic.
It’s a promise.
🕊️ Degrees of Glory – Not a Sorting Hat
The Lord spoke of different kingdoms — celestial, terrestrial, telestial — but this isn’t about a sorting line at heaven’s gate.
It’s about capacity.
If you can’t abide celestial law, it wouldn’t be heaven to you — it would be unbearable.
God, in His mercy, places us where we can thrive, grow, and live in peace.
That’s not condemnation.
That’s love.
📚 A House of Learning and Worship
One of the great calls in this revelation is to establish a School of the Prophets — a place of both prayer and study.
Not just religious study, either. The command was to learn “by study and also by faith” — about heaven, earth, history, and the things of man.
That’s because worship isn’t just kneeling and singing — it’s the full sharpening of the mind and heart together.
And here’s the part that modern religion often forgets:
You don’t need a corporate church to do this.
Two or three gathered in His name, seeking His face in sincerity, is a School of the Prophets.
🤝 Sanctification in Community
The Lord’s house is built on charity and order, not on office or titles.
No lightmindedness.
No idolatry.
No “holier than thou” hypocrisy.
Sanctification is not a solo sport — we lift and cleanse one another in fellowship.
It’s the difference between being in a pew and being in the body of Christ.
🔔 Trumpets and the Final Gathering
The end of Section 88 paints a picture that is both terrifying and beautiful.
Angels sound trumpets.
Nations shake.
The faithful rise from the grave, clothed in light.
And through it all, the Lord promises:
“The saints shall see me, and know that I am.”
That’s the endgame.
Not just surviving.
Not just making it to some “safe place.”
But seeing Him — face to face.
🗝️ The Invitation
Not every parable is explained here. The Lord leaves room for seeking.
He invites you to call on Him while He is near and receive understanding directly from Him.
That’s the real “school” He wants you to join.
One where the Teacher walks beside you.
One where the law is written not on tablets of stone, but on the living heart.
Nemenhah Records remind us:
“The Haymehnay is given to instruct you in all things, that you may learn to walk in the ways of the Peacemaker while yet in the flesh.”
And the Book of Mormon adds:
“The keeper of the gate is the Holy One of Israel; and he employeth no servant there.” (2 Nephi 9:41)
The Olive Leaf is still green.
The invitation is still open.
Walk in His light — and watch it cleave to you.
