Zion, March 19th, 2011
My dear friend, Katsuji Suzuki;
According to world history, March is a month of wrath and madness in almost every age. Yet, it is but the beginning of the days of Wrath. By this ye shall know, speaking of those that have eyes to see that the great and dreadful day of the lord is nigh at hand.
Concerning the people of Japan . Many today and in the days of wrath to come are and will continue to rush to your country to give aid to you and your suffering people in the form of Money, Food, Shelter, Medical Aid, security and/or protection for harmful substances and also countless words of comfort to in these times of great distress. But all these things and noble deeds are shallow and sooner or later will fade away and be forgotten.
Few if any will give you the virtue of the truth to heal your spiritual wounds and appease your awful fears like I am doing today. The truth is the knowledge of things as they are, as they have been and as they are to come. The truth sometimes hurts, my friend, but it does not destroy as hypocrisies, secrecy, feigned words and as lies do.
Now, my friend, please do not take any of my words harshly. They may pierce you to the very center, but it is not with intent to harm you; but to refine; to purify you and even to heal your wounds with the most precious Balm of Gilead. If you were holy, I would speak to you of holy things, but since none of us are, as we speak, I must put some salt in your wounds and tell you about the consequences of sin. It pains me to be so bold and to touch the already damaged heart of an afflicted soul, but my errand must go forth to you and to all those that will give heed to these words even to the ends of the earth. No good medicine was ever administered or accepted kindly. It is often rejected by the tongue at the first taste of it.
For your knowledge, this is the voice as of one sent down from high, who is mighty and powerful whose goings are to the end of the earth and whose voice is unto all men. This is the voice as of one crying repentance in the wilderness who is saying. Repent ye, repent ye, amend your ways and make the path of the Lord Straight, as Esaias and Elias the precursor once said.
Behold, that which you hear is as the voice of one crying in the wilderness—in the wilderness, because you cannot see him—my voice, because my voice is Spirit; my Spirit is truth; truth abideth and hath no end; and if it be in you it shall abound.
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 88:66)
I know that you and your people are going thru very hard times and trough very grievous distress and many upcoming tribulations. I understand it well also, for I come also from a battered people that have been afflicted in many ways throughout history similar to your people. In our religion we call these great perils and tribulations that the people and the land of your country is going thru the furnace of affliction/ This is the place where only the impurity that is in us is burned if we are able to accept it and endure the heat. For, it is there, in the fire where we are chosen and/or rejected. For we are not saved by works or by our worldly deeds and excesses; only by divine grace, after having done all we can in the cause of righteousness. Even now, as you see, I am working still my salvation with fear and trembling before my God because my works are not yet perfect and I fear I may have been found wanting.
Those who harden their harts and accept not the calamities at hand as the judgments of divinity usually are wicked and perverse. These usually do not make it and become worst than they were before until they are cut off or extinct, leaving behind them neither root nor branch. And those that accept what has taken place with sober resiliency soon understand why this has taken place; and soon learn to adapt and move on becoming twice as better souls than they were before in words and in deeds. If your possibilities do permit any of you, please Flee from the East and come to the West and come to US. But let not this be done in haste. And if you can, bring along your whole family; and most importantly a wife. And if they are mobile, also bring all your riches with which God has bless you to build up and enhance his holy kingdom, so you and may others can embrace the peace and the blessings of eternity that are now available to all the penitent in our day.
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
(New Testament | Revelation 3:17 - 22)
My God; or the God of my fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is a very patient, merciful and longsuffering God. He rules on earth as he does on heaven for he is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He has commanded us to preach faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and repentance. And to warn the nations even to the end of the earth of very grave judgments that will be poured without measure as a result of their evil deeds. And in advance, he only chastises those whom He loves the very same way that a father corrects his children that have acted not according to his will; or when they refuse to give heed to his wise counsels.
My father, that is to say, the children of Israel have been for the longest times a very wicked, perverse and rebellious people trough the ages of time. Even since they were in bondage in Egypt , when they were miraculously delivered to a promised land flowing with milk and honey; and thereafter, due to their iniquities and abominations, they were carried away to Babylon and cast out from the land of our first inheritance. And ever since, they have been smitten time and again by the hand of God or by a rented javelin in order to correct them, but only when they have failed to correct themselves. And the byword that has gone forth ever since is this: That if God did not spare our house that was like a tender plant to him and burned it, imagine what can we expect of dry wood when the fire of his jealousy approaches the world and the brightness of his coming is revealed in the eyes of all nations.
In one of these many occasion, a long time ago, in the land of ancient America , in the days of my fathers, the prople of Israel rebelled openly against God by rejecting his counsels, by oppressing the innocent, by stoning and killing his prophets and his ambassadors. And because of this and other evil deeds, He could no longer prevent the judgment that his prophets had given would come to them. This was according to the judgments and statues given to them by Moses even before any of us arrived in any of our promised lands. Therefore, in one of these many occasions, the Lord smote a branch of the children of Israel , in the islands of the sea, by sending a three hour cocktail of his fury and wrath without measure as a witness and as token to the whole world in the form of very terrible cataclysmic destructions. These calamities included Earthquakes, Seaquakes, Tsunamis, whirlwinds, reverberating lightings, fierce fires, ash from volcanic eruptions and vapor of smoke coming from under their feet, which lasted three whole days and three whole nights. Isaiah spoke about these things when he spoke about a book that is sealed that shall speak from the dust as the words that have slumbered in the dust. Here are his words which only confirms the veracity of these doctrines.
WOE to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices. Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel. And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee. And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.
Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.
Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire. And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.
t shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.
Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink. For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered. And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:
And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned. Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us? Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest? And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness. The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel . For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off: That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought. Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale. But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel . They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.
(Old Testament | Isaiah 29:1 - 24)
Hundreds of Millions of my people were decimated descended to the grave in one single day; and only the more righteous among them were spared. The book of Mormon is that sealed book that Isaiah spoke about that shall come out of the ground. In addition to the Bible, there is also the redundant record history that tells of the first, second and perhaps also the third destruction of the Jews at the holocaust in the days of the WWII to attest of the vexation of some of these perils of utter destruction that have come upon the children of Israel for their disobediences and by giving heed to the vain traditions of their fathers.
Now, imagine an adversary; or that a wolf or a fierce tiger comes among the sheep and only one ear here, one nose there and one leg there and so forth are spared of the whole flock. The same happened to my people. And only a tiny remnant remained to escape and returned.
After these calamities befell them, they were crying everywhere for the lost of their precious loved ones and nothing could console them until after they heard the voice of God directly from heaving stating the severity and the extent of the destructions and the source of their calamities. And also the Lord did tell hem why their loved ones had been swept away along with their great and notable cities. And once God told them everything, why it all had happened, they cried bitterly, but soon after hey received consolation and were appeased and accepted it. Only then their redemption came about.
This is only an excerpt of record they left and of their report of these precise things:
And many great destructions have I caused to come upon this land, and upon this people, because of their wickedness and their abominations. O all ye that are spared because ye were more righteous than they, will ye not now return unto me, and repent of your sins, and be converted, that I may heal you? Yea, verily I say unto you, if ye will come unto me ye shall have eternal life. Behold, mine arm of mercy is extended towards you, and whosoever will come, him will I receive; and blessed are those who come unto me. Behold, I am Jesus Christ the Son of God. I created the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are. I was with the Father from the beginning. I am in the Father, and the Father in me; and in me hath the Father glorified his name. I came unto my own, and my own received me not. And the scriptures concerning my coming are fulfilled. And as many as have received me, to them have I given to become the sons of God; and even so will I to as many as shall believe on my name, for behold, by me redemption cometh, and in me is the law of Moses fulfilled. I am the light and the life of the world. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.
(Book of Mormon | 3 Nephi 9:12 - 18)
I testify that this account is recorded in the Book of Mormon as the personal visit of the resurrected Christ to my fathers in the lands of their inheritance or of America after his ascension in the land of Jerusalem not long after his crucifixion. And your can read all about it and much more starting here or following this link:

Now if you have read and searched these things as I have explained and directed, you will know that it is better to fall in the hands of God than in the hands of a fearful enemy. So, let us be grateful that a great many of you in Japan have fallen because of divine justice and not in another way like the people of Nanking a little over sixty years ago when they fell victims of the Japanese imperial quest of Horror. For vengeance is an attribute that belongs to a true God and none else and he said that he will repay, for He does not change is, but he is the same yesterday, today and forever. For Behold:
To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
(Old Testament | Deuteronomy 32:35)
For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.
(Old Testament | Isaiah 63:4)
And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.
(Old Testament | Ezekiel 25:17)
Vengeance is mine, and I will repay; and because this people repented not after I had delivered them, behold, they shall be cut off from the face of the earth.
(Book of Mormon | Mormon 3:15)
Behold what the scripture says—man shall not smite, neither shall he judge; for judgment is mine, saith the Lord, and vengeance is mine also, and I will repay.
(Book of Mormon | Mormon 8:20)
And it shall come to pass, because of the wickedness of the world, that I will take vengeance upon the wicked, for they will not repent; for the cup of mine indignation is full; for behold, my blood shall not cleanse them if they hear me not.
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 29:17)
Returning to my errand, for not long after God destroyed a great many of my forefathers, God himself descended from heaven and blessed my fathers in ways that were beyond the grasp of human understanding. Thereafter, there had not been so happy a people in the whole world as those of my people, and their peace and happiness lasted intact of the least mischief for four hundred years or for four full generations. Unfortunately this was so only until they begun to forget the dealings of God and the captivity of their fathers that they became wicked again which ultimately resulted their awful and utter annihilation. Here is an excerpt of their fall as it is written:
And it came to pass that my people, with their wives and their children, did now behold the armies of the Lamanites marching towards them; and with that awful fear of death which fills the breasts of all the wicked, did they await to receive them. And it came to pass that they came to battle against us, and every soul was filled with terror because of the greatness of their numbers.
And it came to pass that they did fall upon my people with the sword, and with the bow, and with the arrow, and with the ax, and with all manner of weapons of war. And it came to pass that my men were hewn down, yea, even my ten thousand who were with me, and I fell wounded in the midst; and they passed by me that they did not put an end to my life.
And when they had gone through and hewn down all my people save it were twenty and four of us, (among whom was my son Moroni) and we having survived the dead of our people, did behold on the morrow, when the Lamanites had returned unto their camps, from the top of the hill Cumorah, the ten thousand of my people who were hewn down, being led in the front by me. And we also beheld the ten thousand of my people who were led by my son Moroni . And behold, the ten thousand of Gidgiddonah had fallen, and he also in the midst. And Lamah had fallen with his ten thousand; and Gilgal had fallen with his ten thousand; and Limhah had fallen with his ten thousand; and Jeneum had fallen with his ten thousand; and Cumenihah, and Moronihah, and Antionum, and Shiblom, and Shem, and Josh, had fallen with their ten thousand each. And it came to pass that there were ten more who did fall by the sword, with their ten thousand each; yea, even all my people, save it were those twenty and four who were with me, and also a few who had escaped into the south countries, and a few who had deserted over unto the Lamanites, had fallen; and their flesh, and bones, and blood lay upon the face of the earth, being left by the hands of those who slew them to molder upon the land, and to crumble and to return to their mother earth.
And my soul was rent with anguish, because of the slain of my people, and I cried: O ye fair ones, how could ye have departed from the ways of the Lord! O ye fair ones, how could ye have rejected that Jesus, who stood with open arms to receive you! Behold, if ye had not done this, ye would not have fallen. But behold, ye are fallen, and I mourn your loss. O ye fair sons and daughters, ye fathers and mothers, ye husbands and wives, ye fair ones, how is it that ye could have fallen! But behold, ye are gone, and my sorrows cannot bring your return. And the day soon cometh that your mortal must put on immortality, and these bodies which are now moldering in corruption must soon become incorruptible bodies; and then ye must stand before the judgment–seat of Christ, to be judged according to your works; and if it so be that ye are righteous, then are ye blessed with your fathers who have gone before you. O that ye had repented before this great destruction had come upon you. But behold, ye are gone, and the Father, yea, the Eternal Father of heaven, knoweth your state; and he doeth with you according to his justice and mercy.
(Book of Mormon | Mormon 6:7 - 22)
Unfortunately, as you read, most of them did not repent and in the proper time of the Lord, when he can suffer them no longer, they were ultimately swept away as a people in great and terrible battles that hunted them until the last man standing or until they ceased to be a people. Again, only a corrupt mixture of them was spared but eventually they were time and again smitten, generation after generation, even until when the new world was conquered and colonized. I am one of their descendants. And I am sent to declare their tale to all those that would lend an ear, or in this case an eye. And ever since the conquest of the New World we have been under the yoke of foreign oppression, our land has been ravished of its rich natural resources at the expense of our labor. But good news was promised, and our bonds are beginning to fade away. And we were promised that we will once again bloom as the rose and are beginning to receive the for so long retained blessings.
And at my command the heavens are opened and are shut; and at my word the earth shall shake; and at my command the inhabitants thereof shall pass away, even so as by fire. And he that believeth not my words believeth not my disciples; and if it so be that I do not speak, judge ye; for ye shall know that it is I that speaketh, at the last day.
But he that believeth these things which I have spoken, him will I visit with the manifestations of my Spirit, and he shall know and bear record. For because of my Spirit he shall know that these things are true; for it persuadeth men to do good. And whatsoever thing persuadeth men to do good is of me; for good cometh of none save it be of me. I am the same that leadeth men to all good; he that will not believe my words will not believe me—that I am; and he that will not believe me will not believe the Father who sent me. For behold, I am the Father, I am the light, and the life, and the truth of the world.
Come unto me, O ye Gentiles, and I will show unto you the greater things, the knowledge which is hid up because of unbelief. Come unto me, O ye house of Israel, and it shall be made manifest unto you how great things the Father hath laid up for you, from the foundation of the world; and it hath not come unto you, because of unbelief. Behold, when ye shall rend that veil of unbelief which doth cause you to remain in your awful state of wickedness, and hardness of heart, and blindness of mind, then shall the great and marvelous things which have been hid up from the foundation of the world from you—yea, when ye shall call upon the Father in my name, with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, then shall ye know that the Father hath remembered the covenant which he made unto your fathers, O house of Israel.
And then shall my revelations which I have caused to be written by my servant John be unfolded in the eyes of all the people. Remember, when ye see these things, ye shall know that the time is at hand that they shall be made manifest in very deed. Therefore, when ye shall receive this record ye may know that the work of the Father has commenced upon all the face of the land.
Therefore, repent all ye ends of the earth, and come unto me, and believe in my gospel, and be baptized in my name; for he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned; and signs shall follow them that believe in my name. And blessed is he that is found faithful unto my name at the last day, for he shall be lifted up to dwell in the kingdom prepared for him from the foundation of the world. And behold it is I that hath spoken it. Amen.
(Book of Mormon | Ether 4:9 - 19)
Now, just to name a contemporary few what has taken place in Indonesia, India, Honduras, Haiti, Chile, Christ Church, Egypt, Libya, Bahrain, Rwanda, Soma Japan and their whereabouts are just the beginning of severe judgments of God against the people for crimes that they forsook to amend when they had a proper chance and others that are yet to be disclosed. Who can stand the truth of these words?
As far as Japan nowadays, for a sign and a token to the whole world, it was even written of this kind of judgments in the most ancient book of the prophets of my people. And the same fate or worst awaits all those nations of the gentiles or Jews that sin beyond what God can bear. Many souls are asking for justice and justice they have got thus far. There was a great prophet named Amos (Soma backwards so you can have a sign of the truthfulness of these words) who prophesied of these judgments according to the severity of the crimes of the people in his days.) And this is just one of the four transgressions of the children of Japheth, Javan, Japan and/or Nippon , that have filled the cup of God’s indignation for their many abominable crimes. And these are the words that Amos uttered would come to pass when the people whether Jew or Gentile were rip in iniquity. For:
Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of the children of Ammon,(Nippon) and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead(Nanjing), that they might enlarge their border: But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah,( Iroshima, Nagasaki, Fukoshima, Tekoa) and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind: And their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith the LORD.
(Old Testament | Amos 1:13 - 15)
As you see, I purposely and authoritatively added some names in parenthesis instead or adjacent of the original names of the scripture; only to make a statement and an assertive point of what is shortly to come to pass to all the provinces of Egypt ( falsehood) and Babylon (Abominations) The reason I did that was because of what happened in Nanking and other places because of the abhorrent and abominable deeds of your country’s imperial family and their money and power hungry associates; who deluded with grandeur deceived the people of their own country and conceived evil in their heart; and realized it by victimizing with cruelty and terror a great and strong people of China with intent to expand their border and attain world dominance. And they also tried to conceal the evidence of their unlawful brutality. And thus the sins of the fathers have fallen time and again upon the head of the children and will continue to be so until they amend their ways. And these are the things which truly happened to warrant such severe calamities upon your people as we speak.
Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of the children of Japan, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with child of Nanking and an outright animalistic hunt ensued that they might enlarge their border and conceit evidence of their crimes.
Pregnant women were not spared. In several instances, they were raped, then had their bellies slit open and the fetuses torn out. Sometimes, after storming into a house and encountering a whole family, the Japanese forced Chinese men to rape their own daughters, sons to rape their mothers, and brothers their sisters, while the rest of the family was made to watch.
All these things are established by at least two or three witnesses and you will come to know that there are a great many more than these mentioned including the day of infamy.

This is just a reminder. And it is not my intention to put it in your face to make you sad by the recanting of these evil deeds of your wicked rulers. It is my intention to bath you with the truth, so that the truth at last shall make you free. In this way we receive the blessings that will come after repentance, restitution and justice, the conditions of divine mercy. Only then one can be free from the blood and sins of this generation.
The ears of the Lord are shut to hear the cry of not only your people due to their iniquities that have reached all the way up to heaven. And there is only one place nearby where the prayer of the most righteous of your people will ascend to heaven. And that place is in the Temple of our God. I gave you a link to investigate our religion and what we are all about. I suggest you do it with real intent so that you understand the message of redemption and salvation we bring unto the world. This is so that you be healed along with a great many of your country men; yea, even all those that will come unto Christ with a broken heart and a contrite spirit and be baptized, so that they can be sanctified by the reception of the Holy Ghost and stand spotless at the last day before the living God. I am not inventing any of these words nor are they mine but God’s. They have gone forth from his mouth as a firm and irrevocable decree from the very beginning of times unto the very ends of the earth. And of this it is written concerning his Holy temple and also concerning the firm decree or commandment of which I speak:
And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice. If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.
(Old Testament | 2 Chronicles 7:12 - 15)
Now this is the commandment: Repent, all ye ends of the earth, and come unto me and be baptized in my name, that ye may be sanctified by the reception of the Holy Ghost, that ye may stand spotless before me at the last day. Verily, verily, I say unto you, this is my gospel; and ye know the things that ye must do in my church; for the works which ye have seen me do that shall ye also do; for that which ye have seen me do even that shall ye do; Therefore, if ye do these things blessed are ye, for ye shall be lifted up at the last day.
(Book of Mormon | 3 Nephi 27:20 - 22)
And unless we do this and come unto Christ when he calls and commands, the only words that we may heard are these.
O ye people of these great cities which have fallen, who are descendants of Jacob, yea, who are of the house of Israel, how oft have I gathered you as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and have nourished you. And again, how oft would I have gathered you as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, yea, O ye people of the house of Israel, who have fallen; yea, O ye people of the house of Israel, ye that dwell at Jerusalem, as ye that have fallen; yea, how oft would I have gathered you as a hen gathereth her chickens, and ye would not. O ye house of Israel whom I have spared, how oft will I gather you as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, if ye will repent and return unto me with full purpose of heart. But if not, O house of Israel , the places of your dwellings shall become desolate until the time of the fulfilling of the covenant to your fathers. And now it came to pass that after the people had heard these words, behold, they began to weep and howl again because of the loss of their kindred and friends.
(Book of Mormon | 3 Nephi 10:4 - 8)
Therefore my dear friend, I have taken this solemn opportunity to tell you that what my people and your people have thus far experienced is only the beginning of pains. I incite you to reason these words in your mind and in your heart and come to the depths of humility as many of us have done and receive a blessing from the hands of the Lord so you soul and the soul of those you bring along with you might live. Let the dead burry the dead, for once you receive oxygen, bread and water from the fountain of al truth, you may be given power to bring back even the dead to live with you in the mansion that God is preparing in heaving for the faithful and obedient.
And still there are many who will reject these words which we have been commanded to declare without sparing any for they hate God and his ways. To them the Lord has said this to reprove them take away their justification unless they speedily repent or suffer and perish.
For if I, who am a man, do lift up my voice and call upon you to repent, and ye hate me, what will ye say when the day cometh when the thunders shall utter their voices from the ends of the earth, speaking to the ears of all that live, saying—Repent, and prepare for the great day of the Lord? Yea, and again, when the lightnings shall streak forth from the east unto the west, and shall utter forth their voices unto all that live, and make the ears of all tingle that hear, saying these words—Repent ye, for the great day of the Lord is come?
And again, the Lord shall utter his voice out of heaven, saying: Hearken, O ye nations of the earth, and hear the words of that God who made you. O, ye nations of the earth, how often would I have gathered you together as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, but ye would not! How oft have I called upon you by the mouth of my servants, and by the ministering of angels, and by mine own voice, and by the voice of thunderings, and by the voice of lightnings, and by the voice of tempests, and by the voice of earthquakes, and great hailstorms, and by the voice of famines and pestilences of every kind, and by the great sound of a trump, and by the voice of judgment, and by the voice of mercy all the day long, and by the voice of glory and honor and the riches of eternal life, and would have saved you with an everlasting salvation, but ye would not! Behold, the day has come, when the cup of the wrath of mine indignation is full. Behold, verily I say unto you, that these are the words of the Lord your God.
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section 43:21 - 27)
You all have been served a proper invitation to come to the wedding of the Lord’s Supper by an unworthy but duly appointed servant in the hands of Jesus Christ. And in his holy name I bid farewell to you, till we see each other in this life or in the life to come, before the bar of god, even so Amen.
Can two walk together, except they be agreed? Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing? Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all? Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not known it? Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?
Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and the oppressed in the midst thereof. For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; An adversary there shall be even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled. Thus saith the LORD; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch.
Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord GOD, the God of hosts, That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him I will also visit the altars of Beth-el: and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground. And I will smite the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith the LORD.
(Old Testament | Amos 3:3 - 15)
