The Rise of Satanism and why that matters

There are people like myself who are aware that Satanism is becoming more public:  The Satanists feel empowered; they believe that it is their time to progress their beliefs and their agendas.

It is a little bit difficult to condense this topic into a few paragraphs, so I will at least give some thoughts, scriptures, and links.

1 Nephi 14: 3, 7, 10, 12 https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bofm/1-ne/14?lang=eng  

The Book of Mormon says that there are only two churches, the church of the lamb and the church of the devil.  "Church" is the word for "ecclesia" in Latin.  In its most basic understanding it means an assembly of an official function.  So, what I am proposing is that this word "church" in the scriptures can also be interpreted in the broader sense too:  Assemblies of people that align either with Jesus or the Devil.


Excuse me for having an image of the ugly guy in red!! 😱

Nephi went on to state (because of his vision), that those who follow the Lamb would be few because of the wickedness of the church of the devil:

"...I beheld that the church of the Lamb, who were the saints of God, were also upon all the face of the earth; and their dominions upon the face of the earth were small, because of the wickedness of the great whore whom I saw." 1 Nephi 14:12

Ancient symbolism used infidelity and prostitution as a symbol for unfaithfulness, apostacy, and betrayal against God.  For the whore, money was the main motivation.  For the spiritual "whores" against God, their motivations are money, power, recognition, and a strong disdain for righteousness.  In real life, the whore would meet men in secret and then for her sexual union, would receive payment of some kind.   The Book of Mormon uses the term "secret combinations" but it means the exact same thing as whoredom towards God.  The Book of Mormon does say to wake up to our awful state in regards to secret combinations.  Ether 8.  https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bofm/ether/8?lang=eng

There are many ways in which Satanism rears its head.  Sometimes people don't recognize these things.  We all have human weakness and make errors and sin, but Satanism is in a different ballpark.  It isn't just sorcery.  It is also animal or human sacrifice.  It is organized pedophilia, human trafficking, slavery, prostitution.  It is lying and deception designed to wield power over people (especially large groups of people).  This deception is being currently used to a large extent in mainstream media, politics, & other governmental officials or departments.  It is rearing its ugly head in medicine, entertainment, education, our food and environments, and in social concerns.  These issues have come into churches and faiths.  Pressure and force is being added.  Righteous people are courageously standing up, but justice is not being done and pleas and cries are being mostly ignored.  Good is being called evil, and evil is being called good.

Smart people can see how Satanism is permeating throughout ALL areas of life.  Things that were done in secret, are now being blatantly thrown into the public arena.  People that were assumed to be good people, are and WILL BE exposed to have been leading a double life for a long time.

Halloween will be fully exposed one day, to have actually been a High Holy day of the Satanists.  One day all good people will look upon Halloween with repugnance and regret that they didn't realize it sooner and discarded it.  Why would sorcery and murder be several of the sins listed in the Book of Mormon, that the gentiles need to repent of?  Even if your religious leader(s) don't speak out against Halloween, even they allow trunk or treats, festivals, and spook alleys in the church building, this doesn't constitute acceptance by the Lord!!  It is a wicked holiday that grooms some people to embrace Satanism later on, and it blinds and dulls the better souls.

Okay, so here are a few examples of Satanism being openly advocated.  They are signaling that it is a New World.  They will surprise you, guaranteed!  You will likely feel sick looking at this stuff, so keep it brief!

The Commonwealth Games opening ceremonies in Birmingham England, in July 2022.  Prince Charles opened the games. Click here: The Prince of Wales officially opens the 2022 Commonwealth Games - YouTube (this is just to show proof that he opened the Games.  There were also other activities other than "the Beast" as part of the opening ceremonies).

Satanic Commonwealth Games 2022 Opening Ceremony - YouTube  (Part of this was on a big screen in the arena.  You can hear the commentators).  There is a lot of imagery of the woman riding the Beast, slavery of the people, and worship of the Beast.   

Okay, then at the Grammy Awards (which is like the Oscars, but for Music), in early 2023 in the USA, disgusting satanism was displayed in costume and in performance of several entertainers singing "Unholy" -- Red, fires of hell, horned hats, sexual gyration, sexual slavery in a cage, witch coven (circle).  I decided to leave out the link, but you can find it on YouTube if you need to scan through sparingly to prove to yourself that this stuff is public.  It's sad that attire in some women at the Grammys in general is becoming very strappy looking (revealing a lot of nudism), and spidery looking black immodest dresses.   UGH.

Sam Smith and Unholy friends

Satanists fighting for rights to publicly display Baphomet and other Satanism things in public.  The Satanic Temple's Protest for First Amendment Rights - YouTube     ...Going on in April 2023 now, a Satan-fest in Boston, MA Hell raisers! Largest ever gathering of Satan worshipers comes to Boston (nypost.com)

Look what happened to Brazil after they mocked God few days ago shocking - YouTube scan through just to look at satanic floats in the parade in Brazil.  Some of the later footage of flooding looks like maybe it was in New Zealand or other English speaking area, but... another video shows flooding in Brazil.  Some are saying it was judgment for publicly mocking God.  The city is sinking! People run away from the flood in Sao Goncalo, Brazil - YouTube

Okay, this post is getting lengthy (and it's past my bedtime), but I will say that some of the political elites are saying this is Year One of the New World Order.  

The signs are there, it's so sad.  Prepare yourselves, Saints.

GZP Website: About Us; Our Philosophy Explained

 

Our philosophy is based upon the continuing FULL Restoration of the teachings and the Two Houses of Israel.  Both Houses of Israel, Judah and Ephraim, are a bridge to each other.  In the Center, is Jesus Christ, Yeshua the Anointed Messiah.  We have valuable things to learn from each other, including about physically building a Zion community! 

 

1. Restore the House of Israel thru scriptures

Include Old Testament familiarity with all the rest of your scripture studies.  Some of the focus should be on understanding covenants with God (a Biblical perspective) and also finding the Messianic prophecies in the Old Testament and their fulfillment in the New Testament and other modern day scriptures.

 2. Become one nation in their own land

 
Becoming an undivided nation of "Gentile" Israelite believer + Jewish believer is part of the process.  Since Joseph was given the land of the everlasting hills (Americas; Genesis 49:26) , we should hope for that unity of all tribes to exist on both continents eventually.


3. Remember the Jews and prepare to teach them

Open your heart (concern) to them, study the basics of their religion, and build your testimony and courage in order to approach them in friendship.

 

4. Work on getting to know God for yourself like you are Moses standing on Holy Ground 

Many Jews (and Arabs) who get converted to Christ, friendship, exposure to Christian concepts, and supernatural experiences are key to them being converted to the Jewish Messiah Yeshua (Jesus). Having your own vibrant experience with God will be of a great help to yourself and others. 

 

5. Build Zion!


Zion is the pure in heart, and there are numerous scriptures that say that the pure in heart shall see the Lord, and shall build up the waste places (survive to re-build).

There also isn't any poor among them because they labor and they cooperate and share so that basic needs are met; they look out for each other.
Moses 7 is great to read about Enoch's society.

The command to build Zion has been around since the 1800s, but its practice of living cooperatively was discontinued before 1900.   It's time to do this again...  There are small numbers of Mormons who are attempting and living this the best they can in our complicated society.  Their efforts need to be duplicated wherever there are willing people.

Gathering Zion's People Website Summary

Here's a summary of my website from earlier times.  I am changing the website so this is older content.  {Website: https://gatheringzion.com }

 

 

 

ABOUT US:  We want to continue with the Full Restoration of the gospel:  We are commanded in Mormon scripture to specifically teach Jewish people.  Now is the time to learn how to lovingly teach them.  By the way, other Children of Abraham have their promises too, but this website focuses on Jews.  The rest of the House of Israel has things to teach the LDS people. What LDS don't realize, is that Jews have decades of experience in building over 200 Zion Communities in Israel, although they have been done in perspective of their own beliefs and culture.   We can learn from them!!

 

Ezekiel 37: 16-24  All tribes of Israel (under Ephraim and Judah) to be reunited; Messiah comes to rule.

D&C 98:16-17  Earth to be destroyed if we don't bring the Jews' hearts to the prophets.

2 Nephi 29: 4-5  The Lord is displeased with persecution of Jews; we should seek to "recover" them.

CALENDARS--TIMES AND SEASONS CHANGED:  God allowed the calendar and festival changes as a test.  Scriptures, calendar, Sabbath, and holiday observances were altered over the centuries, hiding the truth from the world.  These changes were made without God's approval.  Scripture and history also reveal that God is still keeping His Calendar!  

D&C 121:12


BLESSINGS OF ZION:   Some of the blessings of Zion beyond fellowship and physical community are: 

  • Spiritual gifts increasing
  • Living in a "Holy Place" which will later be protected by God in the End Times.
  • Possibly surviving to the Second Coming of Christ, being translated, and inheriting the earth.

Isaiah 65: 21-23; Moses 7:18,  

1 Cor. 15: 50-53; 1 Thes. 4:13-18,

1 Ne. 16:2; Alma 36:3; 3 Ne 27:19-22, 

D&C 76: 50-70,102;  D&C 88:94-98.  


LAST DAYS WARNINGS:   Calamities and the Abomination of Desolation are coming.  We should warn others and be watching for the Signs:

  • Have at least a year's supply of food, supplies and a water source, as is possible to have.  This is a Biblical principle according to the "sabbatical year" and Noah's Ark.  You might need some miracles.  Noah took 16 days to load the ark (Book of Jubilees, pg. 59)
  • Be prepared mentally and physically to not take the Mark of the Beast.  Read  Revelation 13: 15-17 and D&C 89.  Be careful about what food, drink or medical products you put into your body.
  • Prepare to depart Babylon like the 10 Wise Virgins (Matt.25).  This parable implies that if you take the Mark of the Beast, you will be denied entrance into the Wedding Feast.

Rescue the Rainbow. The Rainbow belongs to God.

I agree with Rabbi Schneider (a Jewish-Messianic-Evangelical Rabbi).  It's time to stick up for God and affirm that the Rainbow is a covenant from God to Noah and the Human Race.  It was a sign that the earth would not, should not be {completely} flooded again, destroying the human race. https://takingtherainbowback.com/

 

 

The Joseph Smith translation has extra to say about the rainbow covenant:

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/jst/jst-gen/9?lang=eng

JST, Genesis 9:21–25. Compare Genesis 9:16–17

God sets the rainbow in heaven as a reminder of His covenant to Enoch and to Noah. In the last days the general assembly of the Church of the Firstborn will join the righteous on earth.

21 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant, which I made unto thy father Enoch; that, when men should keep all my commandments, Zion should again come on the earth, the city of Enoch which I have caught up unto myself.

22 And this is mine everlasting covenant, that when thy posterity shall embrace the truth, and look upward, then shall Zion look downward, and all the heavens shall shake with gladness, and the earth shall tremble with joy;

23 And the general assembly of the church of the firstborn shall come down out of heaven, and possess the earth, and shall have place until the end come. And this is mine everlasting covenant, which I made with thy father Enoch.

24 And the bow shall be in the cloud, and I will establish my covenant unto thee, which I have made between me and thee, for every living creature of all flesh that shall be upon the earth.

25 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and thee; for all flesh that shall be upon the earth.
