The Stone Cut Without Hands Was…a 501(c)3?
📝 Their Message (Summary)
This post tackles one of the most misapplied scriptures in LDS tradition: Daniel’s vision of the stone cut without hands. For decades, the LDS Church has called itself “the Church and Kingdom of God.” But as Joseph Smith himself clarified, the Church of God and the Kingdom of God are not the same thing.
Joseph said plainly:
The Kingdom Daniel saw was not spiritual, but a literal government raised up by God for the protection of His saints.
No earthly nation holds rightful authority from the King of Kings; all gain it by usurpation, tyranny, or fraud.
That is worlds apart from a Utah-based corporation with a 501(c)3 tax status. The Church today is an administrative entity, run through contracts, lawyers, and financial secrecy. A kingdom “cut without hands” cannot be organized through man’s legal paperwork.
The “stone” in Daniel’s vision is Christ and His coming Kingdom—something miraculous, not manufactured. Jesus Himself claimed the title of the Stone (Matt. 21:42–44). That Stone smashes the image of gold, silver, bronze, iron, and clay—every human system built on pride, technology, wealth, and power. It grinds them to dust. And the Stone grows into a great mountain, separate from the one it was cut from (the Father’s Kingdom), filling the whole earth.
This cannot be confused with malls, temples, or ribbon-cuttings. This is not slow and steady growth on quarterly reports. It is the dramatic, earth-shaking arrival of Christ’s reign.
The feet of Nebuchadnezzar’s image—iron and clay—symbolize a brittle fusion of technology (iron) and humanity (clay). Strong and weak, fused but unstable. Exactly what we see today as AI and machines intertwine with daily life. Our world is a fragile system pretending to be strong.
The Church mistakes itself for this Kingdom because of vanity, pride, and a lack of symbolic understanding. But symbolism matters: every other material in the dream was forged by human effort—gold, silver, bronze, iron. Only one was not: the Stone cut without hands. This alone shows it cannot be a man-made corporation.
As civilizations rot from within—just as Sheik Rashid of Dubai warned—“the camels are on the horizon.” America, like empires before it, is collapsing from comfort and weakness. In that moment, no 501(c)3 will save us. Only Christ, the Stone, will.
🔥 My Reflection
This post is bold and unflinching. It refuses to let the reader confuse Christ’s miraculous Kingdom with a tax-exempt institution. It confronts the pride of believing paperwork and titles make us God’s chosen. And it warns that we are already standing in the age of iron mixed with clay—technology fused with man, strong and weak, but destined to shatter.
The imagery of the Stone is powerful: not an empire, not a program, not a corporate board, but Christ Himself and His Kingdom. That is the only power capable of grinding Babylon to dust.
🕊️ The Invitation
Do not trust in the arm of flesh—or in the paperwork of men.
Look to Christ, the Stone cut without hands, who alone can topple every worldly power.
Remember: the Kingdom of God is not malls, programs, or buildings—it is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost (Romans 14:17).
Live ready, because the Stone will fall suddenly, and every false mountain will crumble.
