Letter from Dad this week-
Since I don’t have the time to write and you don’t have the
time to read all the evidence I will share a few of the highlights.
Lehi and his family landed either on the East side of
Florida or on the Gulf Coast side. The
Land of Nephi is the land from southern Tennessee
south to the coast. The Mississippi
river is the river Sidon. The Sea West,
the Sea North and the Sea East is the Great Lakes. When they talk about the narrow neck of land
it is the land between the lakes. The
scriptures say that the land was divided by the sea not the sea was divided by
the land which is the case in Central America.
We do know for sure where one location of the Book of Mormon and that is
the Hill Cumorah. And where is it? Right under Lake Ontario. The one thing I always struggled with is how
Moroni carried those plates from Central America clear up to New York and the
truth is he didn’t because he was already in the land Northward.
Here is a good one for you.
Read D&C 84:1-4. Here the
Lord in a revelation tells Joseph exactly where the New Jerusalem will be
located. It is not often that the Lord
names a city. Now read D&C 125:3.
“Let them build up a city unto
my name upon the land opposite the city of Nauvoo, and let the name of Zarahemla be
named upon it.”
Here
the Lord is telling Joseph to build a city opposite the city of Nauvoo which is
across the Mississippi (or the river Sidon) and call it Zarahemla? Why would he want to name that city Zarahemla
if it wasn’t the location of the original Zarahemla? If it is the place of the original Zarahemla
that means there must have been a temple mount there because we know there was
a temple because that is where the Savior appeared to the Nephites. Well it so happens that they have done some archaeology work over there and they found a hill with a flat top about the size
of the temple lot of the ancient temple in Jerusalem. It also happens to be at the exact elevation
of the Nauvoo temple directly across the river.
The Zarahemla temple would have faced East and it so happens that the
Nauvoo temple faces west. So they both
would be facing each other as a representation of East meeting West.
Anyway
I’m probably boring you. I can’t get
anyone around here excited about it but like I said it just makes sense to
me. Remember the Lord led Lehi and Nephi
to the Promised Land or the (land
that was promised) to the Lords chosen people
and a land of Liberty. I just don’t see
any country including southern Mexico or Central America as being a promised
land. Which brings me to my last
thought. If the United States is the Promised
Land spoken of in the Book of Mormon we know that Lehi and Nephi were led out
of Jerusalem by the Lord. We know
Columbus was led by the Lord to discover America and we know that the founding
fathers were inspired by the Lord to write the constitution. We also know that the New Jerusalem will be
built here where he will dwell and reign upon the earth. If this is the case then this is his
Country. With all the crap going on with
the elections and the degrading of society’s values the Lord is still in charge
and he will not let this country fall.
Yes the constitution may hang by a thread but in the end he will be
there to protect his country, (his promised land) set aside for those that
choose to be his disciples. Take Care.
We Love the man that you have become.
