Everlasting Salvation For Zion
I suppose that you’ve been wondering just who and what “Zion” really is! So…I’ll explain (illuminate; “shed light on”) the term, “Zion” for you. If you were to ask ten people to define it, you’d probably get ten entirely different answers. There seems to be no scholarly consensus as to the etymology (origin of a word and the historical development of the meaning) of the name (term) Zion, so one must determine its meaning based on Hebrew words in the same family or its context (how it is used in relation to words surrounding it). The term “siya” occurs 16 times in the Old Testament. It is a root verb meaning: to be very thirsty. “Siyon” refers to an arid area north of Jerusalem’s city settlement, which was settled (occupied) by King David, in order to build (lay the foundation of) his royal-palace (royal-family; royal-lineage; royal-dynasty). Zion can refer to a human-condition (circumstance) as well as a place (location). One striking feature regarding Zion is its complete lack of water (utter-dryness; entire-desolation). In a spiritual-sense, Siya implies an absolute absence of “Living-water” (“The Holy Spirit”). Siya is often positioned in texts, after the word “midbar”, meaning: wilderness ; desert or arid-wasteland. “Midbar” represents a more-general term, to the extent that it can refer to “relatively dry grazing land” as well as arid-wasteland. In the motif (theme) of Jehovah “drying up the landscape” (“threatening aridity”), siya strikes at a righteous man’s most vulnerable spot, insofar as his very spiritual-existence (spiritual-life; spiritual-welfare) depends on his supply of “living-water” (The Holy Spirit), without which, his land (spiritual-life; “spiritual-survival”) is impossible. In a metaphorical sense, the deportation (exile) of Israel’s royal House (ruling-family; lineage; dynasty) to Babylon (confusion;
misrepresentation; falsity) is comparable to transplanting a vigorously developing grapevine into waterless (hard, bone-dry and thirsty) ground. Because of Mormonism’s characteristic (typical; peculiar) spiritual-impoverishment, confusion, misrepresentation and falsity, a waterless (constricted, bone-dry and thirsty) condition is the norm (way the cookie crumbles; usual; status quo) for Israel’s People (rank and file Mormons). And… they degenerate (take a turn for the worse; go astray; are corrupted) in a spiritually-darkened-condition (a spiritually-impoverished state of affairs; a beclouded condition; “murky kettle of fish”; an illegitimate kingdom; a occult-religious-system) of foreign (alien; non-Israelite) making. Having said this…Zion, then, is a multi-generational extended-family of David’s descendants each of whom have endured a very long and protracted (unrelenting) thirst for “Living-water” (the Holy Spirit) while living in total exile from a throne, which legitimately belongs to them. They have survived “only” thru God’s personal intervention and and His miraculous proffer of “Living-water” (the Holy Spirit) and food (Torah; “instruction”).
1.Listen to me, those of you who are running-after (with hostile intent; persecuting; hunting; chasing) “the righteous” (those who do what is right in the sight of God), because they don’t rely upon Church headquarters in Salt Lake it its false priests, for spiritual direction, but rather they seek answers (guidance) from God, himself, thru worship of Him and prayer. Salt Lake’s priesthood leaders are buffaloing (overawing and intimidating) Israel’s People (rank and file Mormons), concerning the Melchizedek Priesthood Organization’s Rocky-Mountain Headquarters, which has fabricated (falsified; prevaricated; concocted) the public-images for all LDS General Authorities for nearly two centuries and concerning the Melchizedek-Pit” (foxhole; entrenchment) that this generation of Salt Lake priesthood leaders have chosen as opportune (fortunate; auspicious; convenient; advantageous; expedient; useful; handy) for themselves.
FYI – “Melchizedek” – The name comes from combining of two words (a) Malaki – pronounced –maw-lakee – meaning; “to rule and reign as a king over someone with/by means of” and (b) Zadak – pronounced – tsaw-dak – meaning “what is right” – echoing kingly and priestly functions. Melchizedek was the first individual to be given the title, “kohen” (priest) in the Hebrew Bible. The meaning of the title Melchizedek is properly understood as “The rule and reign as a king over Israel’s people by “What is right” . But Mormon leadership misinterprets the compound word, twisting (perverting; warping;slanting) its meaning to: “The lawful Right to Rule and Reign as Israel’s kings” and they use this as a a pretext (cover-story; rationalization) for their “unquestioned-rule” , absolute tyranny and their pathological (gangrenous; infectious) obsession with “power and authority”. The Law of Moses stipulates that only the male descendants of Aaron (from the Tribe of Levi) are commissioned to serve as Jewish priests before the God of Israel and the Jewish nation. This commission is believed in Judaism to be “a covenant of everlasting priesthood”(“Brith HaKehuna”) and not eligible for replacement by other tribes of Israel. Every one of Salt Lake’s presiding Authorities are strangers (non-Israelites; aliens; foreigners). Thus, they have no part in Israel’s Patriarchal Dynasty (patriarchal-lineage; patriarchal ancestry; patriarchal bloodline) and they do not belong to Judah’s tribe or any of Israel’s remaining eleven tribes. What Joseph Smith did was to envision (imagine; aspire to; conceive; envision) a brand-new (latter-day) priesthood, and identify it as the long-lost priesthood of “Melchizedek”. which he claimed was taken by God from the Earth following the martyrdom of all of Christ’s apostles and the subsequent universal “Dark Ages”of mankind a.k.a. The Great Apostasy” Over time, subsequent LDS General Authorities cunningly organized (stratified; arranged in hierarchical order, especially according to graded status levels) Mormonism’s new Melchizedek priesthood. The pinnacle (crowning) ordinance in the Latter-day Melchizedek Priesthood hierarchy is the “Second Anointing” (conferral of kingship and Godhood upon select recipients, i.e. “deification”). It is a strictly-confidential (“by invitation only”) ordinance which confers Israelite Kinship and Godhood upon a recommended LDS couple (Melchizedek high-priest and his wife) but it is proffered chiefly to relatives and close-associates of Salt Lake’s General Authorities. Part of the secret (“hush-hush”) ceremony is conducted in the basements of LDS Temples on Sundays and
Mondays (days on which LDS Temples are routinely closed to rank and file members) and the remaining part performed in the home of the lucky recipients, – hence the Mormon pejorative: “The-Lucky-Sperm-Club”. These elite (creme-de la creme; ruling-class) Mormon couples are: (1) guaranteed their “Calling and Election” (2) exempt henceforth from any further judgment of God, no matter what kind of egregious sins they commit and (3) “put on pedestals” (idolized) in life and memorialized as Mormon heroes in death.

2. Salt Lake’s priesthood leaders are ashamed of themselves when they’re forced to ponder Abraham, Jacob’s own grandfather (progenitor; Patriarchal ancestor), so they have methodically marginalized, Church wide, the study of The Old Testament and of Father Abraham in favor of non-existent (unreal; guilt-free) Book of Mormon heroes . They feel embarrassed when contemplating Abraham’s wife, Sarah who, advanced in years, labored in childbirth to bring-forth Jacob/Israel, indeed, in order to introduce (bring-forth; welcome) the first generation of Israel. Then I (Jehovah) blessed Abraham and multiplied his seed (made his seed many).

3. Surely, Jehovah will also comfort (console; pity; give respite to; reassure) “Zion” (the extended- family of David’s descendants, each of whom has endured a long and protracted thirst for “Living-water” while living in total exile from a throne, which legitimately belongs to them) and all of those who are dried-up (desolate; ruined; parched; thirsty), making Israel’s sterile-ground (deserts; barren-conditions) into “Edens” (pleasant-estates; delightful situations) and God-forsaken places where, currently, “absolutely-nothing-can-grow”, into the “Gardens of Jehovah” where gladness (joy; mirth; rejoicing) are found. In them, thanksgiving and the “sounds of singing” will be heard.

4. Prick-up your ears (focus your attention ) on me, my people, i.e. my tribe of people. Genuine (legitimate; lawful) prophets, commissioned by Me (Jehovah), pay close attention to my Torah (instruction) and because of their association (walk) with Me (Jehovah), my Torah (instruction) will create a sudden division (separation; rupture; difference of opinion; disagreement) among the general (collective; worldwide) leadership of the Mormon Church. I will suddenly engage (enlist; delegate; employ) ordinary (non-leadership ; “garden variety”; run of the mill) Mormons, controlled by them, to enlighten everyone’s eyes.
.
.
5. My righteousness (what is right according to Jehovah) draws near. My Salvation (one who is saved by Jehovah) accompanied by my seed (posterity; offspring) will bring justice (fairness; open mindedness; objectivity) to Israel’s people (rank and file Mormons) for Me (Jehovah). Haughty church leaders who are living within the “Mormon Bubble” of false-security and comfort are anticipating (expecting; contemplating) a reward for themselves, but they are NOT expecting my seed (posterity; offspring). Top-leaders will be sickened (afflicted; grieved; tormented; discomforted; disquieted; galled; irritated) when it happens.
.

6. Lift up your eyes…all of you…unto the heavens (men and women with whom the Spirit of God dwells and feels entirely “at-home”), but behold (notice) as Salt Lake’s presiding priesthood leaders vociferate (shout; bellow; make a fuss; rant and rave) angrily, at Israel’s People (rank and file Mormons). Indeed, The Mormon concept of Heaven (the Celestial Kingdom; Mormon men with their multiple wives and scores of children ) can be compared to a mirage, (“a castle in the sky”; a vanishing “vapor” or even “smoke and mirrors”). This generation of Mormon priesthood leaders season (preserve; salt; pickle; treat) themselves with the “Waters” (sorcery; Black Magic; Powers of Darkness; Powers of Chaos) of Salt Lake thus, their kingdom of Melchizedek Priests is nothing more than a worn-out (ragged; shabby; moth-eaten; threadbare; dilapidated) garment. And … many Mormon leaders, “wanting in the worst way” to be seated upon Israelite thrones……their dream of “a-castle-in-the-sky” will die (expire; “bite the dust”; “kick the bucket; come to nothing; fizzle-out), but my salvation (rescue; regeneration) will last (endure; continue; stand) forever (throughout-eternity) and the names of my righteous ones (those who do right according to me) will never be blotted-out (wiped away; removed).
.

7. Listen to me, those of you who “know what is right” descended from Israelite tribes who have my Torah (instruction) in their hearts. *** Don’t be afraid of the reproach (fault-finding; censure; criticism; rebuke; reprimand) of Man (certain men; mortal-men; spiritually-fallen-men; spiritually-unregenerated-men) and don’t be fearful of their insults (affronts; name-calling; dragging you thru the mud; discredit).
*** – “Israelite tribes who have my Torah (instruction) in their hearts” is the true (real) definition of “The Ark of the Covenant” , i.e. a “human chest with a tender-heart cherishing the Torah-instruction of God”
.
.
Indeed, just like old worthless old garments, Melchizedek priests are eaten-up by moths (twisting-worms that do their work “in the dark”) and like wool, they are slowly (insidiously) devoured by worm-like (contemptible; degrading; grovelling) Moths (Melchizedek priesthood leaders; creatures). But mt righteousness will last (endure; live exist) forever (throughout eternity) and my Salvation (those who are saved by me) will last (continue; endure; live) for generations of generations.
