🪶 The Remnant Will Rise
🪶 The Remnant Will Rise
Another Witness from the Dust—and It Ain’t Over Yet
I’ve known a few people in my life who walk close to the Lord.
They don’t brag. They don’t preach loud. But when you sit by them, something inside you just knows—they’ve been with Jesus.
And the more I walk this path myself, the more I see them popping up everywhere. Not just in my little circle, but all over the world.
Well, I just watched something that felt like one of those sacred moments again. A gathering of Indigenous elders from all over the Americas. Maya, Iroquois, Anishinaabe—you name it. And right in the middle of it all, they stood up, raised their hands, and received the record of Nephi.
Not as a missionary tool.
Not as a white man’s book.
But as theirs. As something coming home.
📜 The Record Was Always Meant for Them
Let’s say it plain:
The Book of Mormon was written for the Lamanites, and they are still here.
“Know ye that ye are of the house of Israel… And the Lord will remember the covenant which he made to our fathers.”
— 2 Nephi 30:2
“Then shall the remnant of our seed know concerning us, how we came out from Jerusalem… and they shall be gathered together again to the lands of their inheritance.”
— 2 Nephi 3:23
“At that day shall the remnant of our seed know that they are of the house of Israel… and then shall they rejoice.”
— 3 Nephi 21:7
It’s in there over and over again.
But we Gentiles kind of skipped past it, didn’t we?
We built churches and temples and programs and said, “This is ours now.”
But the Lord never forgot who it was really for.
💔 What Happened to the Lamanites
We don’t talk about it enough.
But we should.
After the Gentiles came to this land, over 80 million Indigenous people died—from disease, starvation, broken treaties, and outright slaughter. The book 1491 talks about it. Eighty-one million souls. Wiped out.
And we called it progress.
Called it destiny.
Said we were “taming” the land.
But the Book of Mormon warned us.
“Yea, and I behold that the Gentiles who have gone forth out of captivity… have scattered my people who are of the house of Israel.”
— 1 Nephi 13:14
“And after thy seed shall be destroyed, and dwindle in unbelief… the fullness of the gospel shall come unto the Gentiles.”
— 1 Nephi 15:13
And that’s exactly what happened.
The Gentiles got the gospel.
Built churches.
Claimed priesthood.
Built temples.
And mostly forgot whose land this was.
But the Lord didn’t forget.
🌿 Sacred Things, Hidden Things
In that video, those elders shared sacred tokens—hand signs, prayers, offerings—passed down from their ancestors.
They said something that struck me:
“These things are not hidden. They are sacred. And sacred things must be lived, not locked up.”
Boy, did that hit home.
Because you know what?
A lot of the things we see in the LDS temple today—those signs, covenants, and ceremonial ways—they came from somewhere older.
They came from a people who walked with God in the groves, not in buildings.
They came from a people who knew the Peacemaker, not the program.
They came from a people who listened to the Haymehnay (the Holy Spirit), not to men in robes.
And somewhere along the line, the system borrowed the forms but forgot the fire.
🕊️ The Nemenhah Knew This Long Ago
You read the Nemenhah Records, and you’ll see the same truths echoed.
The temple was the Earth itself. The covenant was written in the heart. The priests were mothers and fathers, not CEOs.
They spoke of a day when the remnant would rise again.
“Though they have been trodden under foot, they shall rise again. For I shall speak to them, and they shall remember Me. And they shall build again the place of refuge.”
“It shall not be a kingdom as men understand kingdoms. It shall be a people of holiness and of peace. And I shall be their King.”
And now?
That day is beginning.
Not with fanfare.
Not from Salt Lake.
But with humble voices, rising from the dust.
🌈 The Creation Story That Speaks the Same Truth
In the video, one elder told their creation story.
About the Sky Father and Sky Mother.
About the Water Panther—the twisting serpent that deceived.
About the Tree of Knowledge, and the fall of man.
About balance and the return of peace through love and repentance.
Sound familiar?
It should.
Because truth is truth, no matter whose language it’s spoken in.
“I will gather my people from the four corners of the Earth, and I will speak to them in their own tongue. And they shall hear Me.”
— (Nemenhah)
“The Lord shall bring again Zion, and all nations shall see it.”
— Isaiah 52:8
We’re watching the beginning of that right now.
🔥 No More Permission Needed
You know what I love?
These elders aren’t asking permission anymore.
Not from governments.
Not from corporations.
Not from churches.
They’re rising.
Because the Lord is calling them.
And that’s all the permission they need.
“They shall come with singing unto Zion. And the Lord shall lead them.”
— Isaiah 51:11
💖 The Final Invitation
This is another testimony.
Another voice crying from the wilderness.
Another whisper from the dust.
To you, to me, to all of us.
The Lord is gathering His people—not by program, but by power.
Not by institution, but by invitation.
And He’s saying:
“Come, my children. Walk with Me again.”
So let’s walk.
Let’s humble ourselves.
Let’s honor the remnant.
Let’s stop pretending we own the gospel.
And let’s start listening to the voice of the Lord wherever it rises.
Even if it comes from a teepee, a mountain, or a worn-out man with a soft voice.
Because the remnant is rising.
And the Savior is leading them.
