Enoch then built “the city of holiness, even Zion.” (Moses 7:19.) In this city the people were of “one heart and one mind, and dwelt in righteousness; and there was no poor among them.” (Moses 7:18-31.) Modern revelation teaches that Enoch “saw the Lord, and he walked with him, and was before his face continually.” (D&C 107:49.)
After Zion had continued for 365 years, Enoch, who was then 430 years old, “and all his people walked with God, and he dwelt in the midst of Zion; and it came to pass that Zion was not, for God received it up into his own bosom.” (Moses 7:69.)
Looking to the heavens after much trial and tribulations regarding matters of the heart – with a profound love for all mankind – all humanity, I have found comfort in my personal understanding of The Plan of Salvation unto a Plan of Happiness.
There exists a cosmic overview when looking upon the galaxies, multiverse, and the cosmos as stars are born and subsequently pass. Within observation there are worlds or even stars that are born and likewise stars who die.
What are we observing when we see a supernova remnant?
In my opinion – it is a cosmic conclusion to the end of a nebula being taken into “the bosom of God.”
The Earth we are on today, when achieving its end, or Exaltation, will be taken into The Bosom of God, existing in a different “Universe.”
I have seen many members leave The Church for a pure love- of losing a family member or friend; as it was too much of a burden. Within a church that proclaims “Eternal Families,” the notion that we would live in an eternity without family members who have fell away is too much a cross to bear.
It is my opinion that this may be a misstep that does not offer a full-picture of The Pure Love of our Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother, and Lord, Savior, and Elder Brother Jesus Christ, and the Grand Purpose of His At-One-Ment. To be born unto Earth, Comes with Divine Promise, Divine Covenant – To Which His Kingdom, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is under Mandate – To Ensure the fulfillment of The Earth and it’s Exaltation.
Stemming from Adam and Eve, Adam being The Grand Patriarch, Eve the Matriarch, We are an Eternal Family – linked and connected to The Father and Mother of All within The Covenant – whose purpose The Kingdom serves to Save, as made possible because of The Atonement of Jesus Christ, to whose purpose we serve as members of Thy Kingdom.
There is much attributed to The End Days, the rebellion of The Adversary and his minions, and of Michael and The Apostles of The Lamb – A War of Heavenly proportion – of which – Good overcomes Evil: A War I suggest has continued since the dawn of Civilization rooted in Genesis.
1 And it came to pass when Jesus had said these words, he spake unto his disciples, one by one, saying unto them: What is it that ye adesire of me, after that I am gone to the Father?
2 And they all spake, save it were three, saying: We desire that after we have lived unto the age of man, that our ministry, wherein thou hast called us, may have an end, that we may speedily come unto thee in thy kingdom.
3 And he said unto them: Blessed are ye because ye desired this thing of me; therefore, after that ye are aseventy and two years old ye shall come unto me in my bkingdom; and with me ye shall find crest.
4 And when he had spoken unto them, he turned himself unto the three, and said unto them: What will ye that I should do unto you, when I am gone unto the Father?
5 And they sorrowed in their hearts, for they durst not speak unto him the thing which they desired.
6 And he said unto them: Behold, I aknow your thoughts, and ye have desired the thing which bJohn, my beloved, who was with me in my ministry, before that I was lifted up by the Jews, desired of me.
7 Therefore, more blessed are ye, for ye shall anever taste of bdeath; but ye shall live to behold all the doings of the Father unto the children of men, even until all things shall be fulfilled according to the will of the Father, when I shall come in my glory with the cpowers of heaven.
8 And ye shall never endure the pains of death; but when I shall come in my glory ye shall be changed in the twinkling of an eye from amortality to bimmortality; and then shall ye be blessed in the kingdom of my Father.
9 And again, ye shall not have pain while ye shall dwell in the flesh, neither sorrow save it be for the asins of the world; and all this will I do because of the thing which ye have desired of me, for ye have desired that ye might bbring the souls of men unto me, while the world shall stand.
10 And for this cause ye shall have afulness of joy; and ye shall sit down in the kingdom of my Father; yea, your joy shall be full, even as the Father hath given me fulness of joy; and ye shall be even as I am, and I am even as the Father; and the Father and I are bone;
11 And the aHoly Ghost beareth record of the Father and me; and the Father giveth the Holy Ghost unto the children of men, because of me.
12 And it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken these words, he touched every one of them with his finger save it were the athree who were to tarry, and then he departed.
13 And behold, the heavens were opened, and they were acaught up into heaven, and saw and heard unspeakable things.
If you examine this scripture closely you will see that there is a delineation amongst the disciples, their desires, and blessings. The first 9 to his Kingdom, even a Terrestrial Glory, The last 3, the Kingdom of his Father, even a Celestial glory. Without the intent of fully defining The Plan, I would like to focus on one key aspect of the scripture:
5 And they sorrowed in their hearts, for they durst not speak unto him the thing which they desired.
What is that they durst not speak?
After much fervent prayer, determination, sorrow, pain, trial and tribulation:
Without the intention of delineating that my interpretation is true, but must be expressed in a position of humility – and deep understanding:
From the perspective of This Estate:
Regarding the Earth:
As stemming from Adam & Eve:
That their desire that all of the off-spring:
Would RETURN.
The Earth will Not End Until This Divine Covenant is Complete.
In short, they desired the same thing ascribed to Lucifer: “That All Would Return.” This is definitely a fringe perspective that may not be easily digested: But I doubt Heavenly Father relishes in losing Wars, and would of learned from The Preexistence. The Eternal Nature of Purpose is designed to lose and find. This describes the ultimate eternal mechanics within a cosmic-metaphysical-engine.
Those who relish in war, who like to paint a picture of war as some beautiful picture creating heroes, most likely has never experienced war-first hand. This American notion of war – is futile and infantile-There are no victors in War, only Losers.
