Who is Jesus Christ? No, really? Do you know him? ...when He shall appear, we shall be like him... Im intrigued that this Lord of Lords and King of Kings, the Creator of Heaven and of Earth would condescend below all things, and subject himself beneath the level of ignorant and foolish man, as well as devils. One ancient prophet reveals a glimpse that I find as exalting as I do baffling: And then shall ye know that I have seen Jesus, and that he hath talked with me face to face, and that he told me in plain humility, even as a man telleth another in mine own language, concerning these things; Imagine that. Imagine a God, appearing into man in plain humility? Satan, on the other hand, would want to appear in as much glory as possible, and would become furious if you did not bow and worship him, as was the case with him appearing to Moses. Plain humility would be the antithesis of his persona. Ive recently for the first time grasped almost a faint hint or glimpse of some essence of this Heavenly King, who was on Earth by name of Jesus. To think upon it brings tears to my eyes. I do not know him now. Ive not in this life yet known him. Im gathering that what I think I know of him is so limited, so confining, so boring even, that it truly constitutes a real miss. Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven, Jesus bade. And how do we seek a kingdom without knowing the king? A sacred subject matter, perhaps an in depth sharing is much above FB, but some light sharing and discussion of things relating to this majestic king are in order. Remember what the emperor of France, Napoleon said of him, as quoted here by Vaugn J. Featherstone: No one can ignore Jesus the Christ. His name may be profaned. He may be treated lightly as of no consequence, but He cannot be ignored. Napoleon Bonaparte, in speaking of the Savior, said: Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I, myself, have founded great empires; but upon what did these creations of our genius depend? Upon force! Jesus alone founded His empire upon love; and to this very day millions would die for Him. I think I understand something of human nature; and I tell you all these were men, and I am a man. No other is like Him. Jesus Christ was more than a man. I have inspired multitudes with such an enthusiastic devotion that they would have died for me, but to do this, it was necessary that I should be visibly present with the electric influence of my looks, of my words, of my voice. Christ alone has succeeded in so raising the mind of man toward the Unseen that it becomes insensible to the barriers of time and space. Across a chasm of eighteen hundred years, He makes a demand which is beyond all others difficult to satisfy. He asks for the human heart. He will have it entirely to Himself. He demands it unconditionally, and forthwith His demand is granted. Wonderful! In defiance of time and space, the soul of man, with all its powers and faculties, becomes an annexation to the empire of Christ. All who sincerely believe in Him, experience that remarkable supernatural love toward Him. This phenomenon is unaccountable; it is altogether beyond the scope of man’s creative powers. Time, the great destroyer, is powerless to extinguish this sacred flame; time can neither exhaust its strength, nor put a limit to its range. This is what strikes me most. I have often thought of it. This it is which proves to me quite convincingly the divinity of Jesus Christ.” [Julia A. Farnsworth Lund, “Thoughts Inspired by the Christmas Tide,” Young Woman’s Journal 11, no. 1 (January 1900): 24–25] Napoleon could not ignore Him; neither can all the modern world leaders. By and by, all shall know Him, and the time will come when every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is the Christ, the king of heaven and earth. As Elder Maxwell has often witnessed, He is not “a one-planet God.” speeches.byu.edu/?act=viewitem&id=273 I am delighted that the empire of Christ has prophetically been declared to now be here upon earth. It comes of peaceful persuasion and as Napoleon said, is based on love, not force. That empire ahead will bring forth miracles unspeakable, a great change upon earth, even in our time, in our lives. This I believe. All of Babylon the Great Whore---the Kingdom of the Devil---is being shaken and will be shaken and delivered up to her own self destruction and overcome, her bonds, fetters, chains, and slavery upon us will be dashed and smashed. Secret combinations of darkness and murder will be thrashed, and wiped from the face of the land of America, for Jesus has so decreed and sworn that it will be so, and this, to the blessing of the righteous. Consider the wrath of God upon the ancients who dwelt in the land given to Israel in Palestine. The Ild Testament (Book of Joshua) doesnt give the full account of why Israel was able or justified to go take the lands of those people, but the American prophet Nephi who fled Jarusalem in 600 BC declared the reasoning to his brothers for such dramatic taking of the land by their fathers after their 40 years in the desert with Moses: And now, do ye suppose that the children of this land, who were in the land of promise, who were driven out by our fathers, do ye suppose that they were righteous? Behold, I say unto you, Nay. Do ye suppose that our fathers would have been more choice than they if they had been righteous? I say unto you, Nay. Behold, the Lord esteemeth all flesh in one; he that is righteous is favored of God. But behold, this people had rejected every word of God, and they were ripe in iniquity; and the fulness of the wrath of God was upon them; and the Lord did curse the land against them, and bless it unto our fathers; yea, he did curse it against them unto their destruction, and he did bless it unto our fathers unto their obtaining power over it. America is about to see their land cursed against the majority of her inhabitants. What ultimately will be their largest crime? Ezra Taft Benson stated it, and we are seeing it now, a combining against freedom and liberty with such things as Robamneycare, reprehensible in totality: If the Gentiles on this land reject the word of God and conspire to overthrow liberty and the Constitution, their doom is fixed, and they shall be cut off from among my people who are of the covenant (1 Nephi 14:6; 3 Nephi 21:11, 14, 21; D&C 84:114-115, 117). (God Family, Country, p. 345.) (Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson p. 618-119.) They are combining now. The enemy is now combined, and in secret chambers, the scriptures say, seeketh your lives. The righteous (which I dont profess to be, as I am a sinner: carnal, sensual, and devilish) need not fear, for Gods promises are powerful to them, and the murderous Moneychangers and those aligned with their satanic kingdom will fall into their own pit they are digging for the righteous. Jesus subjected himself to their evils when he lived, but the honest and good today he will not suffer to be snuffed out totally by these Lucifarians who war against humanity, war against love, goodness, precious human liberty.
