Why The LDS Will Never Become Zion

Been at it more than forty years and nary a nibble fishing for Zion among those directly charged with bringing it forth and establishing it. WHY?

Look at the history of Zion. The antediluvian Zion was a refuge from the wanton destruction of all believers as evidenced by Enoch having to miraculously defend his city. And as further evidenced by the fact that all saints who received the gospel after the City of Enoch was taken, were also taken off the earth proper. The world was filled with violence and most of that came at those who dared to forsake the world I suspect.

After the flood Melchizedek gathered those who refused to build the tower of Babel and supposedly his city was taken too, as Abraham was left to wander as a stranger in a strange land, much like Noah.

The Jaredites have no history of attaining Zion notwithstanding a few righteous kings. You would think someone like Mahonri Moriancummer would convince a few to get the gospel right. He moved a mountain, yet no Zion.

The Book of Mormon conversions of the people of King Benjamin and the Reformation of Alma and the sons of Mosiah never attained Zion. Which is evidenced by how quickly the believers slipped into wickedness.

The Jews who believe on Christ who were visited of Christ after him rising from the dead were coached sufficiently to open the door to Zion and seemingly attempted it per Peter's economical collective. But that was short lived. The Gentiles never got close to a Zion and the gospel "petered" out rather quickly regardless of its strong legacy.

Perhaps most of the people of King Benjamin were faking their conversion. It is difficult to imagine that if an entire people got the gospel they lacked the drive and desire to become Zion.

Joseph had lots of fakers around him as well.  The Gentiles of the Reformation always refused Zion and probably were only faking compliance to be included in what ever gain they though possible by joining with the "saints".

The Book of Mormon desolation and dramatic theophany of  Christ did establish a working Zion that lasted at least two hundred years. Imagine that? What a huge dramatic set up for Zion. Where are the three Nephites? John? Why have they forsaken these days?
The Zion of our age is meant to last a thousand years.
It is also suppose to precede the end of the world and Christ is suppose to walk among Zion before he comes to Jerusalem to save them at Armageddon. 

Before the end of this world only the Mark of the Beast persecution could raise the desire for a refuge and possibly persuade a few to get the power of Zion in the real gospel of Jesus Christ. If they are wise and have a clue. But from where are they going to be enlightened?

Do you see how difficult it is to accomplish the Zion heart? Ordinance cannot do it. Therefore the Mormons are sunk and completely taken out of the picture of a future Zion. They will suffer with the ungodly in the day of burning and desolation.

The economic persecution of the Beast will entirely engulf Momonism and it will cease to exist when that card is turned over if itself has not become that very Beast.......(I can image how that could happen)

Since the Lord is yet opening up his purposes it must be hoped that a few will stand up and take upon them the burden of Christ and become Zion. Why would the Lord be working toward that end if it is wholly vain?

To endure a thousand years the children of Zion must be furnished with the power of Zion absolutely. It cannot be watered down or him-hawed half-baked almost their any day now guessing themselves as good as it is possible to get. NO! Zion must be competent and fully knowledgeable as to what it is and how it is accomplished and what hinders and what defiles and what must keep it generation after generation.

Anyone today think that the LDS are closing in on such excellence towards their intended destiny? They will only get the back of the hand from punishment meet for the folly of hypocrisy.

Where or where shall Zion arise?

Re-tool American Politics


Re-tool American Politics

Op-Ed  October 3, 2012            by James Q. Muir

   The problems facing us all need deliberate consideration to re-tool and purposefully design a political process that best serves a nation, of the people, by the people and for the people. We honor those patriots who originated this great nation. We owe a debt of gratitude to those fledgling Americans who diligently secured their birthright of a new nation and carried forward the building of a system that has lasted down to this day.
   Following all the passion and trust and glory that has been plied into American politics we need to face the present fact that the old tools are no longer reliable and have created an unacceptable corruption that now plagues our daily lives. American politics is broken and we need to fix it. This admission should rally all to rise up and see to it, that a valid solution is developed and soon.
It is proposed therefore that the basis of all politics should no longer be money collected into the hands of our politicians, and all the influence that it can buy.  Rather, hereafter, the very foundation for our democracy should be put upon us and gladly borne by all Americans rejoicing.
Politics should rest upon every man and women. We should carry it forth and we should own it. Whoever gets elected would be obligated to us, and to us only, and no special interest need apply.
   For too long we have meekly suffered the bullying of political machinery by the oppressiveness of vast wealth. Of course America is all about the dreams of peaceful riches and confident security. All the more abundantly and fairly these blessing are made secure in the sensible safeguarding of general interests which owes it only allegiance to our common and greater good.
   If we the people own the mechanism by which all politicians are enabled to run for office and debate and publicize their views, by disenfranchising money from the entire process, we will have re-tooled and invented a sensible safeguard that will long endure.
   It is proposed that anyone who desires to be elected submit to the volunteers their prospectus. From these are chosen candidates whom the people shall sustain in open campaigning. Yeah, that’s right, take your political parties and shove it. Thanks for nothing.
If you need a party system to hobnob and get your pet projects into law yet lacking merit enough to persuade sufficient numbers of congressmen, true patriots all, it is of no use to America.
A minimum amount of public service would be required of those willing to volunteer and be certified to participate in the PRE-VOTE that chooses local and national candidates. This insures sensible results and the anonymity of who is voting.   Collusion between volunteers will result in loss of certification.
This rather odd step of a PRE-VOTE will avoid a circus riot of freeloading wannabees that could waste precious resources. Every candidate would submit credentials and have their background confidentially considered by volunteer briefing committees in City, County, State and National elections. These briefs prepared for all PRE-VOTE volunteers respectively. Incumbents seeking another term must begin anew.
Since all volunteers are unknown to potential candidates no influence could be brought to bear upon their decisions. A volunteer would keep secret their status as a sacred duty they owe to their country.
   It is proposed that the burden of campaigning for public office be born entirely by the public. The process would require that all reasonable costs a candidate incurs be drawn upon a National Public Office Fund. No business by law could deny service to any candidate in good standing.
   Any private business that secures a debt from a candidate may right off the fair amount against levied yearly contribution requirements. Taxes! And no candidate would know who was paid or chose to write off or who donated amounts due them for the greater good of all Americans.
   It would be a crime to publicize any donations for prominence, favor, or public relations by any business or private person. This responsibility should be owned as a sacred honor for the privilege of being American.
   Freedom from vapid-silver-spoon-fed-self-entitled-spoiled-brats who vaunt themselves seriously worthy of the common trust of all Americans, who lustfully only want to put their greedy hands and influence upon the vast resources of our great nation would soon disappear from American politics.
   Only the truest servants with altruistic intent need apply. Patriots need only apply. We shall bear them upon our shoulders both great and small and shout their names from the housetops and allow those selected to refine their points of view and sell us their best intentions, wisdom, diligence and intelligence in the general elections.
   Let freedom ring aloud all the more in a new politics sanctified by the equity of the people. What I propose need not be exactly what happens. But let us be about re-inventing democratic politics even if it only rolls out at last to allow us to rise from the ashes of our impending doom. May we be resolute with the resolve that greed and very vanity shall never brings us down again.
We must never again suffer ourselves to be harvested as if not a people and not a nation but merely a commodity to be duped and plundered. No never again. The residuals of this wisdom would remove wastefulness after wastefulness from the dark underbelly of madness where trillions and trillions of dollars have poisoned the liberty of us all.

The End Of Violence. Please.

As a world culture it is incumbent now to sanctify life as holy that the taking of another life becomes absolutely unthinkable. It is the heart and mind of us all that must be disarmed. The evil in us to think another is worthy of death or that the taking of life is in any wise glorious or desirable should become extinct from an enlightened culture. If evil must remain let it remain a little less than it is now. God help us.

Movies and games that glorify unrestrained violence must be shunned and stopped or held liable and sued into oblivion. I saw it when the 90's James Bond game imaged the shedding of blood on each kill that a corner was turned in the viciousness of how we now choose to amuse ourselves. I felt it abhorrent then as slight as that was compared with the rampant carnage of this our culture and people dividing into opposing sides for dramatic stimulation in so many varied games and media productions spiked to absolute abomination.

We may be at the final crossroads in our humanity. Will it sink to the depths prophesied of when all are killed who refuse to side with vicious blasphemy? Is there one day left when man will feel after God and a purposeful sanctification? Can humanism raise up mankind from the madness? Or did the mistake of it bring the madness upon us all by disenfranchising the mentally challenged from everyone's last refuge of faith in God to only despair in greater agitation and confusion?

If God is for us enough to suffer for our sanctification then we are hallowed by the intent alone and have reason enough to think better of ourselves and of one another. Tell me how the denial of this adds to our stature one cubit?
