Principles of the Reclamation

Principles of the Reclamation - Ep.1001 Heart of the Matter with Shawn the Baptist (Shawn McCraney)

Transcripts:

This is Heart of the Matter, and I am your host, Sean the Baptist. Update, just letting you know, we met in Ogden, Utah this past Saturday, and we actually tripled our number from the first time when we met in Cache Valley the week before. We had nine. And it was really wonderful, all the people who were there.

Just to let you know, we're going to be taping all of them and have taped. This week, we're going to be in Salt Lake City. Go to meetshawnthebaptist.com and you can find out the location of that. We hope you will consider joining us and hear what we're doing there. Anybody of any faith or non-faith is welcome.

There's no proselytizing. There's none of that. It's really just our effort to unite people of faith and love. But Delaney is gap, gap. all this stuff in video and audio and still pictures and we're putting it together we're gonna wrap it up in st. George on Halloween and then we will show you what's been going on out there and prepare for it to happen next year.

From last week's comments on the show, dear brothers and sisters, we had some key responses. The first was from someone named Sam Antone. It says, Sean, how does preterism fit into what you are planning or doing? Let you know, we don't use the term preterism because there's so many variations of that. And we don't agree.

with them, we have a variation of what we call fulfillment and always includes the absolute belief that Yeshua came back materially in that day and took his bride. But we have some variations on our views from there. So that was that. The second was from someone named Rich Brown, 69, 68. And he said, I'm sure Sean does not know LDS doctrine.

And well, in some ways, that's true but not doctrine i just haven't kept up with policies since i left the church so i don't really know what goes on in the local ward and stake level anymore but doctrines and practices from a historical basis i'm not just some talking head out there like the hundreds that you know polygamy, like us, give us views.

We're not that at all. And I think I'm a little bit more ensconced in what Mormonism is all about than what Brother Rich Brown is saying. But after someone told him that he wrote, I am, hi, I am an apostate and apostates have hate. and therefore nothing I say can be trusted. Let's respond to that just for a second.

First of all, I get the mindset of why Brother Brown says that, and I'm not angry at him for having it because that is the typical mindset people have when they're part of an institution and they're looking at somebody outside of it and criticizing them. But perhaps we can address it from a perspective of...

the failure of trying to vet people who step forward to criticize something you're part of, it's really hard to do from being in the position of being part of something. So if you're part of the Boy Scouts of America program, which I guess is over now, and someone's criticizing it and you're part of it, it's very hard to accept that criticism.

And so you naturally criticize the criticizer and you fail to really hear what they're saying with objective eyes. Let's go back to some examples of this when it comes to the faith. Let's start with our father, Yeshua of Nazareth, okay? He came and he challenged the status quo of the religion of his day from which he came.

They could not take it. They wouldn't hear him. They said he had a devil, that he was born of ill repute, and all sorts of accusations because those who were on the inside could not stand somebody who was on the outside. And that's from our Lord and King. Look at Paul.

Paul, after he had his Damascus experience, He turned on the same people and they tried to kill him constantly. They couldn't take one of their own leaving and then criticizing it. And they too would say, I don't know what they said all the time, but they certainly tried to criticize his reputation and everything else. Anabaptists like John Huss. John Hus, while Catholicism and the Protestant Reformation were getting legs, John Hus said, hey, we're just going to walk this ourselves.

We're just going to do this without. And they put him to death, right? Martin Luther. You know, he was, was he a Benedictine monk? I can't remember. A Dominican? I can't remember. And he steps outside of Roman Catholicism and says, wait, you know, it's by grace alone. It's not through your priesthood. And the Catholics couldn't stand it.

You know, very hard for them to stand it because Luther had departed from their ranks and he became an enemy. And those inside, they have blinders on as to what critics are going to say. And that's what's happened with Brother Rich Brown. And finally, we look at Joseph Smith Jr. I mean, what did the pastors and priests and bishops of his day say about him according to his comments? He was mistreated, right? And so even the founder of the LDS faith received the same kind of treatment.

So just try to remember that if you're part of a system and someone's criticizing the system, your natural reaction is going to be against that person blindly. Try to open up your eyes a little bit. There's also a third comment from a guy. I think he was a former all-star wide receiver when I attended BYU.

He wrote, dude, when are you going to come back to the church? Just a simple statement, very, very Mormon-like, you know. When are you going to come back to the church? We gave a show last week that was really involved and deep and meaningful and researched for 20 years, and his stripped-down comment is so just filled with blah.

When are you going to come back to the church? I have to really admit I hate that kind of attitude. Just come back. Let me ask you, brother, to what? What do you want me to come back to? A system that promotes good? Truly, we always say that. Is a great organization, but utterly misses the mark of basic theological fundamentals that liberate the human soul from bondage, guilt, shame caused by law? You want me to come from the liberty I have in a relationship with Christ that I've walked in and learned from and grown in to come back to a system of laws?

And so my response to him is that I'll come back to the church when the church comes back to me. And I think that's something that we should consider. We have not heard from President Oaks from our invitation for him to reach out to us last week. And so in the spirit of Elijah, standing up to the prophets of Baal, this segment is going to serve as somewhat of another comparison.

We are trying to compare what we see has progressed and evolved in the faith through the spirit of our father and to compare it to what the LDS church and other religions like it continue to say. This is to the members of the church, and it is to President Oaks specifically. Last week's show, we titled it Dear Brothers and Sisters, and I used a term that most people aren't familiar with because Delaney and I just kind of made it up, and we call it the reclamation.

The reclamation. Now, before we answer what we mean by this, I think that we... that there are some significant principles that Yeshuans, that's what we are offering the LDS Church, promote, that need to be understood before anyone is going to really be able to comprehend the word, the reclamation. So we want to try and share those with you now.

And this is going to be, if you have eyes to see and ears to hear, it should open you up to some things that maybe you hadn't thought of before. We maintain that in the beginning and what continues to carry on today, God gave human beings this earth over which we have dominion. This, of course, is supported by passages like Genesis 1, 26-28, where Moses wrote, fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.

A second scripture or witness to this can be found in Psalm 8, 6 through 8, where we read, Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands, speaking of man. And thou hast put all things under his feet. That's called humans having dominion over this earth. All sheep and oxen, yea, the beasts of the field, the fowls of the air, the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passes through the paths of the sea.

Not limited to those things, but definitely a part of it. We also maintain that because God made man, us, male and female in his image, all humans, male and female, are equipped with amazing. capacities that reflect our creator's capacities to a much lesser degree, but in ways known and seen in many and ways that we believe have not yet been discovered.

Have you ever noticed how we have evolved in almost everything on earth as human beings that we from sports records to science and medicine and everything else, we continually evolve in ways that are just amazing and how it keeps unfolding. I look at the swim times that would have gotten me into the Olympics back in the day.

I see high school girls almost swimming those times now. What's happened? We evolved, right? So when our first parents elected to ignore our father's direct commandments and ate of the fruit that leads to death. We suggest that several things occurred at that moment. In addition to man being removed from the garden, meaning removed from the presence of God, there was a tacit loss of direct access to him in that day.

And by the way, I openly wonder if that was the moment when the word of God... became divided from Yehovah and making Yeshua the angel of the Lord who engaged with Israel in the Old Testament days. That's when I think there was a division within God himself, when there was a division between God and man and then between man and wife.

But we'll talk about that later. But we also suggest something we cannot prove, but based on scriptural supports and insights of non-believers like Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, Madame Blavatsky, Edgar Cayce. He's a believer, though. And my own personal experience, we, I suggest and teach that at and through the fall, humankind, meaning Adam and Eve, because they were all of humankind at that time, created and began to create a spiritual collective.

summarized, invisible of course, and summarized to what we refer to as the spirit of man or the spirit of this world. We believe that that was kind of part and parcel being made in God's image. And it just became something that occurred at the fall. This reservoir of knowledge, invisible knowledge, seems to act like something of a library of ongoing progressive evolutionary spirit wisdom, spirit knowledge, spirit power, both dark and light, which may have emblematically been represented in the fruit.

from the forbidden tree of knowledge of good and evil that God told man not to eat. Paul speaks of the spirit of man. It's not that it's unbiblical. When he wrote in 1 Corinthians 2, For what man knows the things of a man save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man but the spirit of God.

Now we have received not the spirit of the world, that's liking the spirit of man, the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God, that we may know the things that are freely given to us of God, which things we also speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

But... We're all familiar with this one. The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him, neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. From these things, Yeshuans operate off a distinct model. There is a Spirit of Christ whose fruit is love, and all the descriptions of that agape love and this spirit leads to eternal life, a heavenly realm, and there is a spirit of man which is operational in this world alone, functionally and dysfunctionally,

good and evil, dark and light, and only has application in the material world here and now, bringing both reward and consequences. Yeshuans directly demarked between these two spiritual forces, ardently maintaining that the spirit of man governs and has dominated over this material world since the fall and is the basis for all things human and material, medical, technical, philosophical, psychological, and specific to our teachings, what is behind all material religion.

In the time of the Gentiles, where there is the Spirit of Christ which encourages faith and the fruit of our Father summarized as agape love in individuals who are in any faith expression. Allow a brief example to illustrate how important this distinction is between the spirit of Christ and the spirit of man. I use this, I've used it several times.

I'm sorry if it's redundant from some of you. I'm going to be quick, but just suppose that there is an airline pilot who is a devout Christian. He or she wears a cross, very devout, right? And they have an airplane full of passengers and they're going to take a flight. And in-flight calls the cockpit and says, hey, listen, we have somebody in here who's drunker than a skunk or high on something.

They're acting crazy. And so the pilot, devout to their Christian ideals or Islam or Jewish or whatever it is, they're devout. They go back and they tell that person. You got to get off this plane. The cross is dangling from their neck and the drunk says, oh, some kind of Christian that you are. Boy, you really are.

Live your faith, right? Right. And so the whole thing is the spirit of man governs this world. The pilot for the safety of the other passengers must act through the spirit of man and remove that soul from the plane so that everybody can be safe. However, from the spirit of Christ in them, they don't with animus hate that drunk.

They have compassion and mercy upon them. In fact, they might be like the Good Samaritan and even follow up at the police station where the guy's taken to and make sure that he is okay and maybe even take care of some of the things to help him recover. This is the difference between the spirit of man operating in this world with our dominion over it and the spirit of Christ.

Getting more to the point, we teach that because God gave man free will relative to him choosing God or not, not always in the material realm, we make that distinction. I think free will in the material realm is very, very dicey of a subject for all kinds of reasons. But because the spirit of man... is involved, we suggest it is what creates organized religion ever since Christ came and took his church.

We think that God created organized religion through the nation of Israel, but then man altered it. But nevertheless, man, ever since Christ had the victory, is the... It's our spirit that creates religion. And our Father Christ has allowed man to do this according to his or her own ideas and inspirations or distortions.

And because we have dominion over this realm and have free will relative to our ability to seek him or not, he allows things to not only exist, but as a means. to bring about his ultimate good will, and he uses procession and evolution of religion to accomplish these purposes. So instead of the old arguments that the Catholics have it down and they're the right church, we can rightly add that the Catholics have had some things right and they've had some things wrong.

And then individuals popped up with inspirations counter to organizations at that time they're called mystics who were often put to death by the spirit of man demanding control and certainty over the masses then orthodoxy rose up and we have their contribution to the truth along with their contribution to some things that were false we have the protestant reformation which brought more of the process and evolution about but wasn't perfect and then we had a bunch of religious minded souls who came forth in the Restoration Age with the more ingenious of them,

we think at least materially and administratively over this world being Joseph Smith, Jr. All of them were in process, all involved in a spiritual evolution of things, but all of them of this world and all of it from the minds of men. Because human beings are naturally territorial, we're fearful, we're controlling, and because we love the comfort, the fellowship of groupthink, we naturally want to protect our borders, don't we? Our communities, we want to protect our beliefs.

It's all natural and it helps this world function. But listen. central to everything in life on earth, and we believe in heaven too, there is always progression and there is always an evolution going on. The philosophical basis for this thought is that since there is free will, there is always a need to adjust and readapt against evolving free will dark forces and for things to be considered alive.

If there is no progress and evolution of a thing, I would consider it dead. We suggest that even God himself evolves and progresses, but not like Brother Joseph maintained. It's through his spirit, which in biblical times changed and evolved through the advances and declines of his creations. It's an entirely different subject, but it's something that we believe is relatively true.

As we mentioned last week, Brother Joseph Smith, built in his vision of religion the ability for the church to evolve and progress. We think that was wise. And to the point that he said one mighty and strong would arrive when the church is reeling. Let's do some work through the history of all that God did in the biblical age to reconcile the fallen world to himself, and then we'll be better equipped to understand the term, the reclamation.

After the fall, this might be redundant, we'll be quick. And before the incarnation of God himself into the world, we all know that God had a couple, called, excuse me, a couple out of Mesopotamia named Abram and Sarai. And he promised, among other things, that through them, He would make a great nation from their bodies which is described as being dead.

What that means is they were dead in the ability to procreate life. Keeping his word to Abraham, God brought Isaac, then Jacob, renamed Israel through Sarai, now named Sarah, who became Israel, became the nation of Israel with his sons, who ultimately ended in bondage to Egypt before Moses and Aaron led her out where God at Sinai married her. He married her.

So we have Adam and Eve, a couple. We have Abraham and Sarai, a couple. And now we have God taking the nation and marrying her. Look at what Jeremiah 3.14 says. Turn, O backsliding children, saith Yehava, for I am married unto you. And I will take you one of a city and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion.

Isaiah also wrote, For thy Maker is thine husband, the Yahava of hosts is his name, and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, the God of the whole earth, shall he be called. In all of this, we see the import of marriage, of two becoming one, in Adam and Eve and Abraham and Sarai, and of God now marrying the nation of Israel himself through the ketubah ten-word contract.

Two different things becoming one is a central theme in Scripture. Not three being one. Not three. which is why Yeshua sees God himself as one perfect plural of two. and not three, which is an evolution from the Trinitarian doctrine forged by creedal thinkers back in Constantine days and thereafter. Relative to the nation, however, God got sick of her adulteries, which were her idolatries with other gods.

And we read again in Jeremiah that he said, and I saw when for all the causes whereby back, sliding Israel committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a bill of divorcement. Yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also. But God was faithful even when they were not.

And he sent himself in the word in human form to give Israel. another and final chance before he would wrap everything up at what was from the former economy known as the Great and Dreadful Day. So Yeshua, the bridegroom, comes to gather unto himself a faithful bride, first from the nation of Israel and then from the Gentiles.

With the help of his apostles, who were killed off one by one, he accomplished this. Before he ascends to the Father, he promises her that he will take her back before the promised great and dreadful day would fall, and he would save her. And he does this. taking her as his bride, which is called the New Jerusalem by Paul, up to the promised wedding feast held by his father.

This relocated Jerusalem from a former material location to a heavenly is what caused Paul to write in Galatians 4, but Jerusalem, which is above, is free. Listen to this. which is the mother of us all. The LDS teach about a mother in heaven. They're correct in that assessment, but it's not what they would teach.

We are seeing an evolution of these concepts through the spirit in this day and age. That ended Israel once and for all. Everything about material religion, the law, the prophets, genealogy, priesthood, done. And God was fully reconciled to the world in that day, at that time, as Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 5.

18, and all things are of God who has reconciled us to himself by Yeshua the Christ and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation. If you check the Greek in that, you'll see it's a done event. has reconciled the world to himself. While that was specifically for Israel, however, it seems that the rest of the Gentile world was going to have a chance to practice what Christ our Father did.

We might see this period as the time of the Gentiles, which started when Peter went to Cornelius' house, or perhaps it started after Christ took his bride, can't truly say, and which we maintain is wrapping up in this very day nearly 2,000 years later. In this very day. And remember, in the economy of God and man, God works through the free will actions of humans, appealing to the spirit of man, letting it all progress and evolve until the time is right for a new advancement.

We begin with the patristic fathers and all that they said and did, which was both good and right and wrong and off. They never really agreed with each other. God allowed Constantine, by the spirit of man, to establish the foundations of the Roman Catholic Church, which too did good and did bad. And then, when the Eastern Church got sick of the Western Church, they broke off in 1054 and God allowed Orthodoxy to take a stab at it all.

The results? Right, wrong, good, bad, in newfangled ways. Then we had the spirit of man evolve through the Protestant reformers. More good, more bad. And then some 200 years later, we have the leaders of the Restorationist movement step forward again, which got allowed, with all of them suggesting views and practices, good and bad.

The most evolved seem to have been from Brother Smith. All of the good reflecting him and his truth and all of the bad reflecting man was carried forth by these imaginations of men who formed religion. So, we first had the creation of a new heaven and a new earth through the Spirit of Christ given at Pentecost.

which the gates of hell would not prevail against. Then, as the scripture predicted and secular history shows, he returned and took his bride, reconciling the world to the Father forevermore. But in the time of the Gentiles, we had some new iterations, all created by man, first the Roman Catholics, then Orthodoxy, who steadily reconfigured the victory our Father had so that they could play church.

In the time of the Gentiles, Christ allowed it. Then we had a system reformed by men in the Protestant Reformation, followed by a restoration, which in Mormonism was essentially a restoration of law. Again, all by the minds of man. We had a reconfiguration, we had a reformation, we had a restoration, all allowed by our Father, over whom His Father had placed all things in His hands, as proven by the Scripture.

In the last and final Gentile expression, which as we said last week is a Gentile expression of what Moses gave the nation of Israel, God set the stage for what we call his reclamation or the time when our father is going to come spiritually with his bride and collect his true children of faith together irrespective of denominations or faith expressions.

Again, the reclamation is the time where our father and his bride are spiritually coming down to earth to reclaim all he rightly and victoriously established way back 2,000 years ago. We maintain that a cyclical iteration of Revelation 21 through 22.5 describes this spiritual reclamation that could and should have been seen and done in the past, but the will and ways of Gentile men could not conceive or allow it.

Consider the first few verses of Revelation 21 as a description of what we believe John the Baptist is preparing the way for in the spirit of Elijah and John. Ready? Revelation 21, 1, and I saw, John says, a new heaven and a new earth. For the first heaven and the first earth were passed away and there was no more sea.

There's a whole bunch of explanations for that one. And I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, behold, the tabernacle of God is with men. And he will dwell with them and they shall be his people and God himself shall be with them and be their God.

That hearkens to Jeremiah 31, 31 through 34. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, write, for these words are true and faithful.

And he said unto me, it is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is a thirst of the fountain of water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things. I will be his God and he will be my son. Taking his insight found in Doctrine and Covenants 85, where Brother Smith foresaw the coming of one mighty and strong to steady the arc of the LDS empire, we suggest that this steadying is going to prepare the world of organized religion for what we just read.

we are suggesting that this describes a new phase of the progress and evolution where Christ our Father, who materially returned and took his bride from material Israel over 2,000 years ago, is spiritually coming back with his bride, and that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the chosen human institution qualified to help usher this spiritual empire in through its material largess and human acumen and administration and organization.

Part of the studying that will take place is to literally move Mormonism from being a church to being nothing more than a business administration to govern the world through Yeshua truth. Our father is the prophet, respectfully, not you, President Oaks. President CEO Oaks. So humbly surrender that false title and openly assume what you really are, a CEO over a business.

Our father is an apostle. Brethren, so humbly turn your Quorum of the Twelve into what you really are, a board of directors. Our Father is the High Priest, brethren, not any of you, as Hebrews 4.14 says. And our Father is the way, the truth, and the life, not a church inspired by men, not a religion. So choose to openly turn the church to what it has always been.

a well-oiled, organized business, or continue to become unsteadied and unmoored. When you choose to accept these things and more, President Oaks, your leadership will redirect the church's assets, real estate holdings, and human expertise in the things of this world to the business of education of the truth about our father in addition to broadening its organization of humanitarian services and aid to the world wherever it can be found now and wherever it will grow to in the future this will happen through the newly installed

yeshuan education programs and yes humanism services in the world we want to conclude tonight's message to you president oaks and the members of the church with a rapid fire presentation that might evidence some of the evolved progressions relative to the faith today they are just symbolic and graphic clarifications that would likewise take years to digest, but we thought it would be fun to illustrate some of them for you.

We're going to wrap up the program now by going through them. The first one is comparing the biblical age. With the time of the Gentiles, you can see in the Old Testament, we had Father, and in the apostolic record, we had Son. Then in the time of the Gentiles of formation, reformation, and restoration, we had patriarchy.

We really had law. But in the reclamation, which is the bride coming down, we have individuals who will relate to God. We had the law in the Old. We had grace. We had a repeat of the law. which all the religions embraced, but Mormonism did it best. But in the reclamation, we will have peace. We had the regiment of the law.

We have an unstructured pattern by Christ's spirit in the apostolic record. We returned to regiment and we returned to unstructured. We had things written. We had things of the spirit. We return to what was written. We are returning to the things of the spirit. In the next graphic, we see the same thing that we just read, but we drew lines around it to show ages and how they're connected.

This symbolically... might open us up to seeing how the Spirit is evolving us in ways of the faith. So take that drawing and consider how in modern times we have learned that these drawings all have intersections, that really it's just a ladder. I mean, it's just connected zeros or spheres. But they all have an intersection that is demarcated by an X.

That symbol is super significant in a very juvenile way to the things God has done. Juvenile, but it's in these simple things that God can speak. So see all those X's? Let's build from there with graphic D. In the infinity symbol, I can't remember when that was discovered. It was in the modern history. We have the X in the middle again, showing a conversion, showing a crossover.

And then we have the figure eight. which is, in biblical times, the number of new beginnings. So we have it there, and then we have the DNA heat double helix, where it's really just a ladder, but it's twisted and torqued by tension. And it's where the two helixes form the DNA of all living things. So we see those intersections and that X playing a part in some of the ways that we can postulate by the spirit of man.

I'm not saying this comes from God. This is the spirit of man taking us and helping us evolve into concepts in how he's done things. And then we go down and we look at the way those ages intersect too, reflecting both the DNA and reflecting the figure eight and reflecting the infinity signs, right? And then we jump down to another graphic.

And this one is the intersectional symbol to signify that everything, including God, where the two become one. So we have... The father and the son, which are represented by yellow and red, masculine and feminine, I'm just saying it, but father and son, we don't mean male and female, and we have them converging in the two becoming one in that shape of what looks like a V.

everything above them they are in charge of they point down to us man made in his image and that you become one in that V and then we look at the next one and we have man made in God's image male and female again represented by red and yellow and they bear become one And those two then in the next graphic merge in a direct relationship that God had with man in the beginning.

There's that X. That center point is where God and man had relationship. It was a perfect established way that man could relate to God, get answers from God. How do we multiply and how do we do this? And they could have done it, right? But what happened? The next graphic shows that man having free will said, I think I want to get information another way.

We don't think we want to get it from you. Even though you told us to just eat of the tree of life and have life in you, we want to have it for ourselves. We want to become our own gods. So we had the fall where man chose to eat of that forbidden fruit. And you see how the way God made man turned and became God over their own earth, God of the earth, not just having dominion given to them by God, but became gods themselves.

And then we go to the next one. And you look at it and we have God sending himself in the form of a man who reconciled everything back to the Father and brought back in that unity for the world where God and man have been reconciled. Do you see that? Can you understand how these things are an evolution of thought for us? And we're not just locked into these certain dogmas that everyone wants to stand on because it gives them safety and security when God has much more for us through his spirit.

Let's go to the next graphic. His finished work accomplished the following for all people according to the scripture. The world has been reconciled to the Father. Christ overcame all the effects of the fall that were brought on by the fall. Those effects included a destruction of Satan, sin. Death, hell, and alienation from God, bringing us into a completely different economy than what the religionists of the Gentile age are practicing.

And this equips all soul with the spirit of Christ within. Every man, the LDS do teach this, is born with the spirit of Christ. The Quakers teach it. John teaches it in his first chapter. It's a reality. There is no more sin in the way that we are sinning because Adam fell. Christ took care of that, reconciling us to God.

People say, well, how do we have sin? Because we will always have darkness, but that's another subject. And so we are all equipped to choose. We have spiritually the whole world to a spiritual garden of Eden where every person is equipped with his spirit, as indicated by that little red dot. And we are all being eternally called, invited, and led back to a free will relationship with our Father, unobstructed by religion, unobstructed by men who call themselves prophets.

Apostles, priests, popes, bishops, unobstructed. That brings us to our next illustration. The inner spirit of our victorious father is like a seed that grows when an individual of any religious affinity allows it. And it might just look like this, how we've illustrated. It starts off small there in that first little guy.

And it starts to grow when they start to say, I want to know you. And they start to walk in faith. And it grows bigger and bigger and bigger. within the individual. This is the nascent realization a person has. This is what happened to me in 1997 on the roadside. I realized I always had that little red dot in me.

I called it being reborn because I didn't understand the difference. But once I understood the scripture, I came to see that it starts off small and it grows. And when this inner spiritual maturation, which comes by us allowing him and him alone, becomes complete, President Oaks, not by religion, not by law, ordinances, or outward conformity, it looks like this.

That is the full picture of somebody who inwardly, in their heart, has become complete in Christ. It's a hexagon which maximizes, is a maximal area for minimal perimeter, material efficiency. It's uniform. It's uniform stress distribution, meaning it has structural strength superior to other forms. It has perfect tiling.

There is no wasted space. It has high symmetry. It's stable from multiple directions. It's natural optimization, widely used in biological and geological systems. This design, given to us by God, is reflected. in every snowflake, all ice, well, most ice configurations, honeycomb and other things. Is this doctrinally sound? No.

Is it from the mind of man? Yes. But does it take us to a new way of understanding and respecting our maker? then from this old form that he never intended to happen, it does. We go to our next graphic because it's at this point when the inner work of our Father, not religion, is complete. So an individual is able, again, by and through his spirit alone, to begin to produce fruit and genuine agape love toward others from their heart without religious intervention, manipulation, force.

Or fake it till you make it through models of religion. And it looks like this. Do you notice that this first hexagon is all inward? It's all the inward work that goes on. This means that babes in Christ who first discover him can still sleep around and get high and have all the problems. We don't question that.

They are growing in inward faith. And we should educate them on how this happens. We should show them. the process by the works of the Spirit so that they freely from any religious perspective can come to understand how God will work with them. Do you understand, President Oaks? And then we have once that is done and that hexagonal figure is in the heart of a person, fully matured, you start to branch outward.

You start to do the works of love in the world. This is when a person is maturing in the fruit of the spirit. And that brings us to the final place that looks like this. You'll recognize that figure, that inside of it is that hexagon of that star of David. And we can use that because Peter says, and I think it's the fulfillment of what Peter said in 2 Peter 1.

19, when he said, we also have a more sure world. word of prophecy. Where unto ye do well that you take heed as unto a light that shines in a dark place unto the day dawn and the day star rises in your heart. When we can educate people how God does that, we eliminate all the old stuff that isn't applicable anymore and fall in harmony with what the fruit of the spirit does do. We see that a fulfillment of what Peter.

promised then. If you look now, what we really are seeing, can you see it? Are the three of these, that X that we brought forward. There's three of them there in that configuration. And then we see two of these, that same V figure that make up an X, God pointing down, man pointing up. And then we have another one where there's 12 of these.

Why 12? 12 is a significant number. There's 12 pointing in to the inner heart, pointing out. There's six of each, the number of man. This is how God works through us. These forms are there for us to study, learn from, and embrace as we want. As we are led, as we see fit individually and without the impulse and direction of religion.

Then we have the full page. We have the full graphic. And this is when the process and evolution within his children of faith is complete. Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, Christians, Mormons, Baha'i, Sikhs, whatever. Because it's in the heart of the individual through the spirit of Christ, which does not need to know the ontological being of Christ perfectly to have this occur.

How can I know this? Because it happened to me. All of these phases, I've tested them to find myself. Publicly, we've done it. You've seen me trip and fall. You've seen me change. That is what this is all about. Process and evolution, which God is doing. Finally, Delaney designed this. I love it.

We, as Yeshuans, believe the symbol of the reclamation should look like this. We've got all the elements in there, right? We've got the triangles. We've got the X's. We've got the intersection. We've got the circle. We humbly, openly suggest, President Oaks, that this icon of the Reclamation Age should be added to every temple, every stake center.

every ward house, all letterhead, and to every church-owned enterprise on earth. replacing all the icons of the temple and Moroni and the tabernacle organ and all the pictures of men that you have pushed on your members for nearly 200 years.

This will serve as an indication to the world the steadying that you have received of our Father in preparation for Him to use what He has allowed rightly and in accordance to His finished work for the world. The Spirit of Elijah and John the Baptist have spoken. We suggest that this becomes your letterhead from now on, once you receive the truth. We await again your reply. A week has passed. That's a long time for an organization that oversees so much dissemination of information and that this show must somehow be on your radar. That's a long time to wait when this stuff is pushing on the edge.

Until we receive the invitation from you to meet, we will continue to clarify through this show every week the what's, why's, how's of him preparing the way. for the bride to come down as promised. With this we end with a graphic.
