SCHISM
CHARLO, New Brunswick, March 1, 2024 – There’ll come a time of no more turnings, a time when no matter how much you preach, there’ll only be permanently deaf ears and ears that already hear. The sealings will be sealed and the saints will be undergoing their final trials to see where they belong in Heaven’s hierarchy, if indeed they belong at all.
Nothing will be certain still at that point except the fact of no more turnings.
And Jesus’ return.
And God’s coming wrath.
Did you know that the saints in the early Church believed they were already living the end? Already nearly 2000 years ago they were waiting for Jesus to come down the same way he went up. They were waiting for him to come down not to set up an earthly kingdom but to gather his people together and take them all Home the same way he had gone Home. This is what they believed, and that belief persisted for hundreds of years, through countless persecutions and martyrdoms.
And then one fine day in the early 4th century, Christianity was normalized, it was sanitized, it was compromised and institutionalized. This represented the greatest schism in all of human history – the dividing of the church from the Church.
The Church has lived on, though. The Church has survived. It has not changed. The Church has not been transitioned like Christianity. So not surprisingly, the Church is still persecuted and the latter-day saints still understand that we’re in the tribulation that began when the early-day saints said it did thousands of years ago. There are lulls in the war, but no ceasefires. There will never be a permanent ceasefire between the church and the Church.
There’ll also not be a seven-year Tribulation with a capital “T”. What there will be is a worsening, by orders of magnitude, of the now 2000-year tribulation. There will be a turning of thumbscrews, though not of souls anymore, because souls will be done turning when the orders of magnitude appear.
The Church has always been persecuted. Jesus said it would be and so it is. All the saints I know are mocked and despised; saints have always been mocked and despised: That’s how you know they’re saints. The Roman Catholic church, which first tried to supplant the Church and then tried to kill it by a thousand-year Inquisition, teaches that you have to die first to be a saint, and then only if the pope says you’re a saint, though I would be very hesitant to believe anything the pope says about spiritual matters, since he isn’t born-again. If he were, he’d know what a saint is.
The day after I was reborn, God showed me during my first-ever reading of the book of Revelation that the Roman Catholic church was the whore riding the beast. I didn’t want to believe it at the time, so God tucked that knowledge away for me until later, until a time when I could see it for myself. That time came three and a half years into my rebirth when I was sitting in a Roman Catholic pew with a key to the church door in my pocket. I was on my way to becoming holier than the pope when God opened my eyes and I saw where I was. I ran screaming. Actually, I walked very quietly and orderly out the front door in a state of shock at what I had just seen. Then I dropped off the key and never went back.
The church is an enemy of the Church in the same way that Lucifer appears as an angel of light. That’s all I’ll say about that for now. There are no more turnings and then comes the judgement.
We’re already living the end.
