desert 1 — **Midbar** *(God-forsaken circumstances; desert; parched-land; wilderness)* is the Hebrew term used to define the concept *(abstraction; notion; conception; impression; mental-picture)* characterized by little or no “living-water” *(Spirit of God)* and a natural-unfriendliness *(malevolence; enmity; hostility; antagonism; aversion; opposition)* toward the growth and development of life *(plants and animals).*

Midbar (desert; parched-land; wilderness) is the Hebrew term used to define the concept (abstraction; notion; conception; impression; mental-picture) characterized by the one or all of following circumstances:

divine-punishment; retribution; payback; avengment; retaliation; justice; reprisal; vengeance for human transgressions.

God-forsakenness; no growth; decline; languishing; ruin; dinishing; failure; curtailment

lack of water; drought; dessication; want; dryness; shortage of supply; deficiency

barrenness; non productivity; incapable of producing offspring, seed, or fruit; sterility: unable to support the growth of people or crops; lacking in ideas; dull

uncivilized; uncouth; coarse; boorish; vulgar; philistine; uneducated

exile; bondage; slavery ; servitude; imprisonment such as that experienced by the Hebrews in Egypt

In a concrete sense, midbar refers to arid or semi-arid regions whose scarcity of water makes them unsuitable for agricultural and farming settlements. Midbar is a more or less desolate (God-forsaken) area (circumstance) that evokes fear and revulsion. Metaphorically, midbar conveys a sense of personal-discredit (dishonor; unpopularity; distaste; disrespect).

rose garden — The deserts *(sterile places)* will spring *(issue-forth)* “living-water” *(the holy spirit),* and they’ll break-forth *(flourish; bloom; blosssom)* like rose-gardens.

1. The midbars (deserts; God-forsaken-circumstances; places-of-exile) and parched-places (wilderness; drought-ridden circumstances) will rejoice in connection with (with reference to; concerning) Israel’s people (rank and file Mormons) then from the deserts (sterile-places) “living-water” (the Spirit of God) will spring (issue-forth suddenly) and they will breakforth (flourish; bloom; blosssom) like rose-gardens.

woman pointing — This new generation of Israelite royalty *(princesses)* discerns (recognizes; understands; deduces-mentally) the Glory of “The-Lord” *(Jehovah)* and is pointing (directing-attention) toward the posterity (heirs; princesses; scions; inheritors) of Jehovah, the God of Israel.

2. Blossoms (buds; flowers) will spring-up (appear-suddenly) and rejoice, yea, they’ll shout with joy over the splendor (glory) of Lebanon that is now given (ascribed; credited; imputed; attributed) to them (Israel’s people; rank and file Mormons). This generation of Israel’s people (rank and file Mormons) is pointing (directing-attention-of) everyone to the Lord’ vineyard and a new (latter-day) generation of Israelite royalty (princesses) . This new generation of Israelite royalty (princesses) discerns (recognizes; understands; deduces-mentally) the Glory of “The-Lord” (Jehovah) and point (direct-attention) toward the posterity (lineage; bloodline; descendants; family; heirs; progeny; scions; successors; generations) of Jehovah, the God of Israel.

denied — Apostle Bruce R. McConkie, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints (Mormon-Church) from 1972 until his death, was documented by Kevin Fraut, son of Ogden Wedlund Kraut, an American author who wrote about his independent Mormon fundamentalist beliefs. Kevin Kraut states that , on his deathbed, Bruce R. McConkie, was crying and expressed fear of “passing-over” *(dying)* and going to the other side and answering his maker for the terrible things the Mormon Church leaders have done and said, that have hurt *(failed; injured)* so many good people. McConkie said that, over the years, Mormon leadership has not been honest with the *(Mormon)* people. Apparently, McConkie had good reason to fear his own death. Though, he wasa a chosen apostle in the Mormon Church, and was pressumed to have absolutely no reason to fear **“meeting-his-maker”**, he was nevertheless crying and fearful of dying because of what he would face on the other side of the veil. Deathbed confessions are usually straight-forward and honest. because there is no longer anything to gain by lying or perpetuating a falsehood.
