Nuggets from the Books of Helaman and Jeremiah
“And it came to pass that thus they did stir up the people to anger against Nephi and raised contentions among them; for there were some who did cry out, Let this man alone, for he is a good man, and those things which he saith will surely come to pass except we repent. Yea, behold, all the judgments will come upon us which he has testified unto us, for we know that he has testified aright unto us concerning our iniquities; and behold, they are many.
[Today there are men and women, who love the Lord and are loyal to him, are sharing those things that the leaders of organizations and governments are doing that are evil. There is no reason to doubt the integrity of these individuals and their witness but some will still ridicule them and try to persuade others not to believe them. The righteous discern good from evil and recognize a true message from a true messenger.]
And he knoweth as well all things which shall befall us as he knoweth our iniquities; yea, and behold, if he had not been a prophet, he could not have testified concerning those things.
And it came to pass that those people who sought to destroy Nephi were compelled, because of their fear, that they did not lay their hands on him. Therefore, he began again to speak unto them, seeing that he had gained favor in the eyes of some, insomuch that the remainder of them did fear. Therefore, he was constrained to speak more unto them, saying, Behold, my brethren, have ye not read that God gave power unto one man, even Moses, to smite upon the waters of the Red Sea, and they departed hither and thither, insomuch that the Israelites, who were our fathers, came through upon dry ground, and the waters closed upon the armies of the Egyptians and swallowed them up?
[Today people believe that Moses saw God and was guided by him but they don’t believe God can appear to and guide other true messengers. They believe Nephi was given the spirit of prophecy to prophecy of the murder of the chief judge, but they don’t believe someone can discern what is happening in today’s politics, governments, businesses and churches.]
And now behold, if God gave unto this man such power, then why should ye dispute among yourselves and say that he hath given unto me no power whereby I may know concerning the judgments that shall come upon you except ye repent? But behold, ye not only deny my words, but ye also deny all the words which hath been spoken by our fathers, and also the words which were spoken by this man, Moses, who had such great power given unto him — yea, the words which he hath spoken concerning the coming of the Messiah. Yea, did he not bear record that the Son of God should come? And as he lifted up the brazen serpent in the wilderness, even so should he be lifted up who should come. And as many as should look upon that serpent should live, even so as many as should look upon the Son of God with faith, having a contrite spirit, might live, even unto that life which is eternal. And now behold, Moses did not only testify of these things, but also all the holy prophets from his day, even to the days of Abraham. Yea, and behold, Abraham saw of his coming, and was filled with gladness and did rejoice.
[True prophets point to the Lord, Jesus Christ. They are given power to declare the judgments God will send upon the people unless they repent. True prophets warn others about trusting in men, institutions, organizations, religions or government to deliver them. It is God they must put their trust and faith in. Today false prophets are telling people to trust the new world order, CDC, WHO, UN and their leaders in any church or institution. The collaboration of Christian churches agreeing to push the poke was revealing. I included that link to the newspaper article sharing this information early on in the roll out of the plandemic. There are many articles about trying to persuade Christians to get the poke. Google it. In hindsight it is interesting to note the LDS church made billions of dollars in their pharma investment portfolio https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2020/03/07/lds-church-discloses/
Real, true messengers tell the people to focus on the Lord and put their trust in him. They point to the serpent as a representation of God, not the serpent on the medical staff the world has. Again, a beautiful symbol that has been hijacked by the world. The rainbow and now the serpent.

The current false prophets give lip service to trusting in the Lord but then they urge the members of their churches to put their trust in a poke or a one world order. They say things like “wearing a mask is a sign of true, Christlike love.” Interesting that Jesus touched the lepers without a mask, no fear of spreading the disease. Maybe he knows something we don’t about disease?!?!?!? The religious leaders are even promoting stem cells for vaccines and justifying an untested poke at the christian thing to do because we love our neighbor. Very one-sided godless perspective https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5k5jc8OvVxI
They encourage people to be more inclusive to those struggling with sin instead of clearly teaching the commandments of God. It’s subtle but when you first tolerate, then promote, then eventually you embrace and hold up as a light. (https://youtu.be/s479tiDDCSc Start at the 41:30 mark…) We live in challenging times. Times Jeremiah lived in. Look at Jeremiah 1. He was called to call prophets to repentance. Interesting Lehi lived in this time period as well. Here is part of the account in Jeremiah, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations [notice the Lord ordains Jeremiah a prophet. His ordination wasn’t passed down from one prophet to the next. God calls his prophets]. Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold, I cannot speak [Joseph Smith was uneducated, Amos was a farmer…prophets may be intimidated because they don’t have the credentials of this world. False prophets are held up by the people, in part because they do have the credentials of this world]: for I am a child. But the Lord said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord. Then the Lord put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant [the role of a prophet; root out, pull down, destroy, throw down]….And I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me [prophets aren’t popular because they invite people to repent, change their ways], and have burned incense unto other gods [burning incense is symbolic of prayers to heaven. The false prophets communicate with experts or world, not with God], and worshipped the works of their own hands [False prophets say the miracle is in operation warp speed and having a poke from god through pharmaceuticals]. Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them. For, behold, I have made thee this day a defenced city, and an iron pillar, and brasen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land. And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the Lord, to deliver thee.The priests said not, Where is the Lord? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal [priests, pastors and prophets are don’t know the Lord and prophesy through Baal, a false god], and walked after things that do not profit [interesting word, Profit. The current prophets have gone a whoring after financial profits but not real profit]. Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the Lord, and with your children's children will I plead…Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit [false gods and false prophets aren’t profiting the people
(Jeremiah 1:5-10, 16-19 ; Jeremiah 2:8-11).
“Yea, and behold, I say unto you that Abraham not only knew of these things, but there were many before the days of Abraham who were called by the Order of God, yea, even after the Order of his Son
[the order of God is to call prophets himself]
— and this that it should be shewn unto the people a great many thousand years before his coming that even redemption should come unto them. And now I would that ye should know that even since the days of Abraham there have been many prophets that have testified these things; yea, behold, the prophet Zenos did testify boldly, for the which he was slain,
[prophets are slain for their words, not called up by the world to throw first pitches at baseball games, https://www.deseret.com/faith/2022/7/26/23279106/elder-renlund-delivers-ceremonial-first-pitch-on-baltimore-orioles-latter-day-saint-night-lds
