🌄 🔥 New Witnesses Rising — Day 4 📖 The Book of Remembrance of Moses
🔥 New Witnesses Rising — Day 4
👉 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 Moses
We’ve looked at the covenant of Melchizedek, and we’ve listened to the menorah light of our Ancient Grandmothers.
Today, we turn to one of the greatest prophets of all time — Moses.
🧍♂️ Who Was Moses?
We know him as the lawgiver, the prophet who led Israel out of bondage. The Red Sea, Sinai, the Ten Commandments — these are household stories.
But The Book of Remembrance of Moses opens a door into Moses’ journey that most of us have never seen:
His descent into the lower stations of creation.
His ascent back into the light through covenant.
His reception of the Law of Jeshurun — the higher law.
This record was preserved and translated by the Brotherhood of Christ (2023, Tablet of Gabriel).
✨ A Taste of What’s Inside
1. The Descent and Ascent
The record describes how Moses saw mankind’s fall into shadow and prison, and then the Lord showed him the way back:
“I beheld the descent through shadow, prison, and chains. But I also beheld the ascent — through Urim, through Shabuwa, through Instruction Day, through the Law of Jeshurun. The descent was swallowed up in the ascent, and light overcame darkness.”
This is pure gospel. Compare it with the Book of Mormon:
“For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things… righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad.”
— 2 Nephi 2:11
The descent and ascent are the pattern of our mortal journey.
2. The Urim and Shabuwa Foundations
Moses’ record speaks of the Urim — not just as a stone, but as a principle of seeing through God’s eyes.
“By the Urim, a man may see through the eyes of the Father. By the Shabuwa, he enters covenant. By the Instruction Day, he learns wisdom. And by Jeshurun, he lives in Zion.”
Isn’t that breathtaking? It matches the Nemenhah, where the prophets teach:
“The veil is lifted, and a man beholdeth through the eyes of God when he covenanteth in Messiah.”
And it sounds like the very promise of the Doctrine of Christ:
“If ye will enter in by the way, and receive the Holy Ghost, it will show unto you all things what ye should do.”
— 2 Nephi 32:5
3. The Law of Jeshurun
The record calls this the “higher law,” beyond the tablets of stone:
“The Law of Jeshurun is not written in tables of stone, but in the hearts of men. It is the law of love, of peace, of consecration.”
Compare that with Jeremiah:
“I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.”
— Jeremiah 31:33
The higher law is always about the heart.
🌎 Why This Matters Now
Moses’ remembrance bridges the lower law of Sinai with the higher law of Zion.
It shows us that the descent into Babylon can be overcome by the ascent into covenant.
In a day when the world is chained in shadows, this record is a lamp, showing us the stations of return and the path to Jeshurun.

🔑 Final Thought
The voice of Moses is rising again, not just to thunder commandments, but to whisper the higher law of Jeshurun into our hearts.
Tomorrow we’ll turn to a record from the isles of the sea — The Aklatan (Philippine Plates), a Book of Mormon–style record from the remnant in the islands.
