And it was not so long after YHVH came unto me that He showed me the great wickedness that had gotten above the people. For it was as the prophets said, they did worship the arm of flesh. And they subjected nothing before the Holy Ghost but caused their shepherds to be their Liahona. And when I had seen this, I was carried away in vision. And I saw the beginnings of the secret abomination, the same that Moroni beheld. And they killed the prophets and murdered their teachings. And this they did that they might get gain. For in their hearts, they loved their money and power.
The people allowed their combination to get above them, heeding not the warnings of the prophets. Then this combination hid, and the people knew it not. They twisted the teachings for their gain and for their benefit. And they said nice things. It was as Jerimiah saw. They said: Peace! And there was no peace. They said: Do this or do that, it matters not. For YHVH will justify a little sin and we will be beaten with a few stripes but will yet be saved. They have said, I have dreamed a dream, and they prophesy lies after the foolish and vain imaginations of their heart. They have not sought the face of YHVH and have not stood in his councils.
And when I saw this combination get above the people, it began to have all power unto the convincing of men. All is well in Zion and Zion prospers! Where is Zion, oh shepherds? I do not see it.
Where is the peace you espouse? I see idleness. I see a golden calf and a Rameumptum.
When this combination had gotten power over all people, I beheld three heads, that they were great. And one of the heads passed through a black veil and entered not into the communion of Elohim, but of the satan. An oath: We swear upon our heads and the earth and the heavens and the gods! Nothing could touch this head, for he had sworn. And when trouble came lurking, a predator stalking a sheep, a silent hunter, and the sheep were safe. And the people beheld the head and marveled. And the head made many promises and lulled the people with kind words. All the while the hunters protected the herd.
And I saw lions remove from out of the trees, and the hunters had no hold over them. And fire spewed forth from their mouths and some of the people marveled no more at the three heads. And the people beheld their awful state and prayed unto Elohim to deliver them. Yet, others still heeded not the lions, but the sheep, and though the lion tore to pieces, the sheep led the remainder of the people away from their Elohim.
And YHVH came unto me saying: Prophesy against the sheep and the heads. For inasmuch as they forsake My power they should surely be destroyed.
Therefore, I prophesy against you. For I know your doings and I have seen your works. For you love your money and your lucre. You ever seek after the pride of your hearts and the lusts of your minds. You say one thing and do another. Oh, you hypocrites! You tax dill and cumin and force your hands into the pockets of the widow that she gives up her mite. And with this mite, you build up mighty sanctuaries unto yourselves. Sanctuaries, and you proclaim that they are My house, says YHVH. I would not have My house built off the backs of the poor. Wo unto you, for you grind the face of the poor. Your sanctuaries dot the land, and they sit at every corner. And what is learned in them? Do you teach My people My precepts or your own? Do you teach them to seek My face or your own?
A temple, a temple, what is the point of a temple? Is it to show My children your greatness? What is a temple that has been built of the mite of the widow? Should I come to visit such a place? I shall not, for I gave it unto you to prepare a way for Me. I gave it unto you to clothe the needy and heal the sick. Establish a Zion, oh people. Was that not your command? To Missouri, you went. And when you were removed, you threw up your hands as a spoilt child. Can I YHVH establish Zion only in a single place? I gave you the valley and Zion was not established. You despoil the land for your sakes. No poor among you? I see poor on every corner. They litter the streets, and you go to them not. No, but you do build your fine sanctuaries.
And this you say is revelation, oh shepherds. Is it revelation to grind the face of the poor? When did I choose the Pharisees to be My disciples? Lawyers and scribes, your eyes are blind. You see nothing.
Peace, peace, you say. Look here, you say. Look here, we receive revelation. We have a temple, look here!
I have shown you nothing. Your eyes are blind. I have spoken nothing unto you, you are deaf.
Harken, oh Ephriam. I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran. I showed unto them nothing, yet they say, a dream, a dream. Here a temple, there a temple. I did not send them, and they did not stand in My courts. The satan is theirs, for they are deceivers. Did I not warn you, oh Ephraim? I did and you listened not. You cast your salvation unto another. If this is your desire, then so be it. I shall remove these prophets from their place. I bring a whirlwind and they shall be removed. Be it to your desire, Ephraim, stand with them, for I can make you do nothing at all.
