🌄 🌸 New Witnesses Rising — Day 3 📖 The Book of Remembrance of Our Ancient Grandmothers
🌸 New Witnesses Rising — Day 3
👉 From the very beginning, Joseph taught that “one of the grand fundamental principles of Mormonism is to receive truth, let it come from whence it may.” (TPJS 313). The Articles of Faith declare the same: “if there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report, we seek after these things” (AoF 13). That means when new light appears, our job isn’t to fear it—but to test it by the Spirit. The Holy Ghost will confirm if it comes from the Lord, and that is the only test that matters.
📖 The Book of Remembrance of Our Ancient Grandmothers
We’ve now looked at the covenant record of Melchizedek, with its sevenfold oath and call to consecration.
Today, we turn to a very different but equally powerful record — one that comes not from kings or priests, but from mothers.
👩🍼 Who Were the Ancient Grandmothers?
This book is the testimony of faithful women — covenant keepers who preserved their remembrance through the menorah, a sacred lamp that symbolized their covenant with God.
Their record is called The Book of Remembrance of Our Ancient Grandmothers (Zedeqetelebab Edition, 2021).
For centuries, women’s voices were silenced, erased, or written over. But in this record, their testimony shines forth, declaring that they too received covenants, guidance, and authority from the Lord.
✨ A Taste of What’s Inside
1. The Menorah Covenant
The grandmothers kept their remembrance in the menorah — the seven lamps symbolizing the eternal covenant of light.
“We placed the menorah in our dwelling, for the light is the sign of the covenant, and each flame testifieth of the Eternal One and His Son, who is Light.”
That matches perfectly with the words of Christ:
“I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
— John 8:12
The menorah was not just ritual — it was their daily reminder to walk in His light.
2. Mothers as Stewards of Zion
The record teaches that women were not merely helpers to men, but full stewards of covenant life:
“For the love of the mothers for their children and for their homes is the foundation of Zion. They govern in love, and their word preserveth the covenant.”
Compare that to the Nemenhah:
“It is the women who guide the council, for in their stewardship of the home they best perceive the needs of the people.”
Zion cannot be built without women in their rightful place of voice and authority.
3. The Eternal Family Pattern
The grandmothers also testify that Zion is not just a city — it is the family of God, patterned after Heavenly Parents:
“We covenant in remembrance of our Mother and Father above, for in Their likeness are we created, and in Their union is all life.”
Doesn’t that sound like Genesis itself?
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”
— Genesis 1:27
The record restores what has long been hidden: that both male and female together reflect the divine covenant.
🌎 Why This Matters Now
In a day when the world either degrades women or sidelines them in religion, the Lord is bringing forth the witness of the Ancient Grandmothers.
It is a reminder that Zion is not built by priesthood titles alone, but by families, by mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, all in covenant together.

🔑 Final Thought
The menorah light of the Ancient Grandmothers is shining again. Their record is a lamp for our feet in these last days, reminding us that covenant and Zion are family work — not just men’s work.
Tomorrow we’ll open The Book of Remembrance of Moses — a record of descent and ascent, of stations, and of the Law of Jeshurun.

✍️ A Personal Word
There’s a great test coming for us in the LDS faith — who will truly stand with the Savior? Even President Nelson has said we must hear the Holy Ghost for ourselves.
Not long ago, if you read and believed the Nemenhah Records, you could be excommunicated. But just a few months ago, the Church quietly shifted and now lists them as “apocrypha.” That tells me something is stirring.
I’ve tested these books with scripture, with chiasmus, even with AI, and the witness is always the same: they teach of Christ, covenant, Zion.
Yes, I’ve been accused of being deceived. I’ve had fingers pointed in my face. But my answer is simple: I love the Savior. I love the Lord. And I will stand with Him.
Brothers and sisters — the Lord is giving us more light, more voices, more records in our day. The question is: will you stand with Christ at this time?
Love you all. ❤️
