YHVH came unto me saying: speak the words which I say unto you. For, in my house I have found a rot. And behold, it stinks. I can smell it. The pride of my children is the rot. They proclaim all when I have given them few. Therefore, set your face against it, oh man. For I see the stars and their candlesticks.
Unto the church of Ephesus, I say: I have against you! You repent not; therefore, your candlestick shall be removed.
An apostle, an apostle! Have you tried such? I see fools and liars. Try them, oh man! Reveal their lies. Who has an apostle but you, Ephesus? Shall you be as the Nicolaitans whom I hate? Repent and try lest your candlestick be removed from its place.
I walk among the seven stars and their candlesticks. They are mine and I have them all before Me.
Repent, Ephesus, repent, for I cometh speedily. And my feet shall touch down, and a great quaking. The mountain shall split before Me. Few will flee.
Set your face against Gog of the land of Magog. I am against you, oh Gog. Yet, I am against these prophets. I will not stay you, oh Gog. I see armies and nations with you. Before you is barley, and behind is pitch.
Ephesus, Ephesus, listen and hear the buzzing of flies and locusts. They come for you. In your youth I sent them. Did the seagull not come? In your old age, they come again. Will I send a seagull for your sake? I think not.
The image of the beast shall speak, and the locusts will fly. Think it not so? Behold the stars, Ephraim, are they not of the earth? The ram comes. He is even in your midst. Where are his miracles, Ephesus? Has fire come from the sky? Has the beast spoken? Wonder ye, wonder ye! A prophet comes!
Kneel down, oh Ephriam. Kneel down and mock your Elohim. Did I not warn you? Worship not the king of Assyria, oh man, converse not with him, for you shall be destroyed. He shall come against you. Wonder not after him. Associate not. I would not my people be a harlot. Bow not before these gods, oh thou like the Nicolaitans. Their wonders are lies. They are the magics of Pharoh. I shall cast my serpent at their feet, oh people. Then you shall see their lies. Will it take the firstborn to make you see? Come out of her, my people, the building spacious shall fall. It cannot stand. Its foundation is sand. Repent, Ephesus. I desire not to take thy candle from its place.
Oh, Ephraim, your much boasting is hard. Did I not say unto you to be meek and lowly in heart?
Why then do you proclaim your greatness at every turn? Did I not say that Ephraim would come up in the pride of their hearts above all other nations? That if they did this that I, YHVH Elohim of Hosts, would take from them My fullness? I gave unto you warning and you heeded it not, says YHVH. I have warned, and you looked not twice at the warning. Whyfore have I sent you that seer to bring forth the record of Joseph simply that so you may forget it entirely? I did not watch My servants suffer all so you could toss My word like a ball.
I condemn you, Ephriam. Your condemnation is not lifted but brought down an hundredfold. If you would have simply remembered your Elohim and respected what I had given you, this condemnation should have been lifted. Yet, you would not. And because of your pride and your boastings, I condemn you. Repent, oh Ephriam.
Think that you have My priesthood? Believe you that you can perform miracles? You do not lest you would do them. A bible, we want more bible! You want more bible but abide not by those I have given you.
Others have received more bible, not you. You have taken lightly My word; therefore, I send no new bible but a warning. Turn from your course. Repent of your iniquity and forsake your idols. Desire you more bible? Respect the bible you have already. That is that you must seek My face and confirm all through the Holy Ghost. This is all you need do. Abide by those precepts, oh Ephriam, and it shall be well with you.
I have said that you are under condemnation, and with this condemnation, I take your authority.
You have not the higher priesthood, but lower only. You are like unto the children of Israel. I took from them the higher and left the lower. Think it not so? Do your wise men hear of great things? Do your young men dream dreams and your young women see visions? You have darkened your own minds. You proclaim to have the high priesthood but understand not what that even means. Did I not tell My seer?
Did he not write it in a book? I say you carry this book in your pocket, but you know not what ‘higher priesthood’ means. Desire you more bible? Respect the bible I have given.
You seek only after vanities. You seek only after yourselves. The minds of your prophet are dim.
They see no thing and hear no thing. You are raised up only unto yourselves. Did I not say, seek My face?
Did I not give unto all to behold the face of their Elohim? I hear you, oh children. You say: We know that Moses did see YHVH and some other prophets, but He makes no such thing known unto us.
Your faith is lacking, oh Ephriam. I say that if you had faith the size of a seed all these would be possible for you. But you leave it unto Moses and Moses alone to see Me. Oh, you stiff-necked people.
Why cast your salvation at the foot of another? I say unto you that by faith all things are possible unto you.
It was by faith that Nephi built a boat to sail across the waters. It was by faith that Adam pierced the veil and saw Elohim. It was by faith that Enoch said unto the mountain, remove hither place! and it moved. It was by faith that Messiah performed the atonement.
If you can do none of these things, if you cannot be healed by Messiah, or move mountains, or part the veil, it is because you lack faith. Thus, says YHVH, it is by faith that miracles are wrought. And if the days of miracles have ceased from among you, it is because you lack faith.
I see your towers, Ephriam. You desire to be like unto the other Gentiles and like unto the seed of Esau. You desire to build many towers, and you bend not. You desire to be seen by men, and by men you shall be seen. For your enemy looks across many waters and they see your riches. They come by boat and by wings, says YHVH. The king of Assyria comes. Associate not. The birds flee from you because of your greed. The air is chalk. You suffocate the valley because of your greed. You stand as the sequoias and the redwoods. Can I YHVH not cause the sequoias and the redwoods to be fell in but a day? I raise up the redwood tall. It takes many years that they may stand that tall. I YHVH fell them in but a day. Be thou humble, oh Ephriam. Why do you desire that which the Gentiles have? You are like them. I carried you out. You desire Solomon and Saul to be your kings? I take from you your judges. It will happen, says YHVH, and I justify not Myself.
Your kings over you are as the kings of old. They are like the kings of Spain and the emperors of China. Their greed knows no bounds. You think an one is here to save you? I declare them the heads of vipers and the tails the tails of rattlesnakes. They tremble at you and are prepared to strike. Why do you move not? You are frozen in your place. The snake will strike. A pit of vipers is their name. a nest even in a cave. They make the oaths of old and strike at the hand that feeds them. Their habits cannot stand! They are owls. All of them led by the owl. They seek not the kingdom nor the dove. For it is even the desire of the owl to snatch up the dove in its claws. Know you not that the dove is mightier than the owl? It is as a falcon. It breaks speed and sound trails behind it. The dove has power over the owl, and the serpent has power over the dragon. I am no slithering serpent, but a feathered. Firey and flying. I cover my face and my feet, and I fly. I have all power over the owl and the slithering snake.
You brood of pit vipers! You have failed in your plight already. You seek the kingdoms of the earth, but the kingdom of heaven comes. I come against you as a warring nation. I bring ballistae and trebuchet against your walls. Your meager defenders cannot withstand the barrage. Moab will fall. Assyria and Babylon have fallen. I come against them, oh brood of vipers. You shall bruise the heel, but my knights shall crush your head. For they are arrayed in My armor, and they wield My sword, thus says YHVH. I AM, and you were.
Think yourselves gods? Can you at all withstand the tests of time? A grain of sand could bring all your greatness down. I come against you and a grain shall fell you as a feller. Command the dust? Can you bend the trees and cause the fields to give fruit? You force the ground to bear fruit like a raper. You till the ground with no care. The ground is not yours, it is Mine, says your Elohim. I cause the fruits of the field to be as a poison unto you. It shall not bare you up. And when your fields are empty and smoldering, turn unto Italy and Russia for your grain. They shall find what you do. The earth will refuse to give up her fruits at My commands, says YHVH. They shall not bare you up. Would that you had built your houses from more than grass. A whirlwind comes and I send it. You send it not, oh man. You play My game, and you play in My house. I take from you your pretend power. You cannot bend this whirlwind, it is Mine. It obeys you not. And when your fields fail you, this whirlwind comes to devour. Your houses made from grass shall blow like strewn grass and shall whip like autumn leaves. Your society shall be unto you like the winter gales. I shall make your towers freshly driven snow and your houses as dunes. Your streets shall crumble, and the matter therein shall become crude. And thus, you shall know that I AM YHVH your Elohim.
And YHVH said unto me: Speak nothing but repentance unto this people. It was on the feast day that the trumpet sounded. Behold, comes the Son of Man! Declares He: The times of the Gentiles are over. I declare them over, for I AM YHVH. I give unto Manasseh My gospel and from the Gentiles I take. You are like the Jews, oh Ephraim. Judah has rebelled against Me all these long years. I will not cause you to do the same, Ephriam. My eldest has prophets and My middle. Where are your prophets, oh Ephriam? For all have fled. I bring Assyria against Jerusalem and It shall not stand. Count the years, Ephriam. I count 182. I sent unto you a seer, Ephriam. Why did I do this? You hate him and revile him. He is in My bosom, and you cast stones still at him. Revile you the brother of the Son of Man? I take from you the Gospel. It is yours no longer. I shall send the prophets from the north, and these shall be My prophets, says YHVH. For they have stood in My councils. And they sought not to make Me an image but allowed Me to make them into an image. I make them after Me and I justify not Myself in this thing. I called them, oh Ephriam. Your shepherds know them not and have not seen them. Yet, they carry with them My gospel. Lift yourselves up into no pride, for I have set again to recover My people a second time. Few there be that shall find Me.
I am YHVH your Elohim, Ephriam. Mock not these prophets. At no time have I placed My trust in your shepherds. They are a loathsome hireling. At any time as the hireling cared more for the flock than the SHEPHERD? I say unto you, no! For when the wolves come, the hirelings fled, for they cared not for the sheep. But I am the Good Shepherd, and I number My sheep. And I love them, and they know Me. And they know My voice. I have called unto My sheep and they have listened to My voice, and nothing can take them from My hand. The hireling has fled, oh Ephriam. The wolves close in on you. I send my men like Ammon unto you. My servants love Me, and I love My sheep. They will slay the arms of the scatterers. But you will cast stones at them, oh Ephraim, for you love the hireling. The hireling gave you gifts and sweet words. While I was away, he fed you the fruits of Babylon. Are Babylon’s fruits sweet, oh Ephriam? Do they give you a burst? They are venomous berries. They are not hawthorns, but the briars. They are poison, oh Ephriam. They are uncured meat unto you. They spoil and they stink. These grains cause you to stink, oh Ephraim.
But come unto Me, oh Ephriam. Forsake the hireling, for he has buried his talent. Come unto Me, for I am the Good Shepherd and I know My sheep. I give you not briars to eat nor bad meat, but I give fresh bread and good wine. Milk and honey flows from My kitchens and all good foods. My foods make not the belly upset nor aggravate the throat, but they settle your ills and make soft your throat. They are an herb used for healing and not a pill used for curing. Come unto Me and be numbered among My sheep. Seek and you shall find. Knock and it shall be opened unto you. And thus, it is.
