It has been a wonderful week all round for the church what with people talking to us and expressing there desire to be untied with us and their desire to help us in the work. We have some exciting news for everybody. It has been decided by the Prophet Matthew Gill that we shall make our sacrament meetings available on the internet. The Prophet has proposed that all Sacrament meetings shall be recorded and posted on our youtube page. It has also been decided that if people want to join us live then they can do so by logging on at a certain time on Sunday morning and joining us for the meeting live in real time. Also our General Assembly meeting which is set for the 16th of December will also be done in the same way, we will make an announcement before hand letting everybody know when to log on and you can join us live for our General Assembly meetingon the 16th od December, however it will also be available on our youtube site as will all our Sunday sacrament meetings. With the use of modern technology we believe that it is only fair that those who are not able to get to the meeting house can join in and feel the love of the Saviour and hear the Gospel.

Once again we would like to dedicate a little bit of this blog space to the cause of Zion’s Camp and what we believe that we should be doing to serve Gods purposes here on earth. We the members of the Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ as you are aware have been commanded to build a safe refuge for the storms that are coming at this place of refuge we will be looking to create a new social order of peace built upon the laws of God. In this life no one has the right to be cold or nasty to his neighbour. Malice, put-downs and payback will be foreign to our way of life. The love that we shall try to institute will restrain us form striving to take advantage of one another, form turning our backs on one another when the times get hard.

All of you know that this world and its way of doing things encourage everyone to be responsible for his own life and the lives of their family. They make you think that once you have food, clothing and a place to live then it is okay to try and be nice to your neighbour, however they still put limits on how nice you can be or how much you can talk and what is acceptable, now matter how many laws they pass to try and make you unite as a community there are still barriers, for instance one person has his group of friends, another a different set, someone else another set, most family cant even sit down together to eat a meal without fighting and trying to get one over on someone else.

We want to create a new society were this is not the case. We have been given the building blocks for this new society were the chains of fear and guilt and hatred that bind us can be broken. The new order we are talking about is not ideal, its real. Ideal societies are the playground of the dreamer and the intellectuals of this world, not one person has ever built an ideal world or society that works. In fact there is not a location on this earth were you can observe an ideal society, all those society’s that profess to be ideal are all based on the laws of men and those laws can only limit evil not create virtue and godliness. Zion’s camp will not be perfect, but God has given us the plans and building blocks to get it done and make it real and living. In Zion’s Camp we will be able to shake of the natural man who is an enemy to God and has been since the fall of Adam and we will be able to forgive each other and press on toward the goal and that goal is that one day we will be able to stand at the feet of our saviour.

All the Prophets of the ancient times have spoken of a new order a new social order in which all things are restored. Joseph Smith established many places in America many places were this new order could take hold, but the people failed him they weren’t ready to live up to the laws of Kirkland, Kirtland was the first place were God established his vision for his people that vision that Joseph was given to fulfil was to establish a living place of God were his laws were real and meant something in peoples lives. But it is possible for Gods people to build a place were man can dwell at one with God, were the laws of the creator can be paramount in our hearts, were children need to be exposed to hate and fear where families can live together in peace and harmony. Many people reading this will not be able to see the difference between Zion’s Camp and any other idea that describes utopian ideals some will feel that its is to good to be true. But there are those of you who are ready to do the will of the Lord and you will know weather this is actually gods plan and that Gods wants his children to live in a place of love and peace you will know weather or not this is just something that we have made up or weather it truly is Gods will. Remember the city of Enoch that was translated remember that in that place there was no poor among them they truly were the sons and daughters of God. And now the Lord has asked that we do it again, that we establish this place for a refuge for all those that are seeking this new life. Read Luke 9:23 and take in your hearts what it says... If you desire to live a self sacrificing life of love, to experience the deep soul satisfaction doing what God wants and serving his law and doing what we were created for then Zion’s camp is for you.

If you want to see such a place built then please make a donation, pledge your money to help buy the land and build the buildings and put your name forward to come and join with us in Zion’s Camp and make it a reality for the benefit of all those that are seeking a better way of life, free from persecution, war, hunger, poverty and hatred. As the statue of liberty says "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Welcome to The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ Blog. This week’s blog is a call for help! In as much as we are reaching out to everybody today to help us fulfil the building and establishment of Zion’s Camp. The church under the direction of the Prophet Matthew Gill are asking everybody who reads this blog to help us build Zion’s Camp, and to make it a reality!

We have been asked by the Prophet who has been directed by God to build Zion’s Camp to ask every one who reads this blog to help us establish Zion’s Camp by giving a donation of £29.99 to The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ to help us with this cause. If you can not manage to pledge £29.99 then please pledge what you can or even pledge time or clothing or dried food to aid us in building a place fit for the saints of the most high and all those seeking peace and safety form the tribulation that is coming.

Zion’s Camp is to be a place that is a place of refuge and safety. The Lord has given us a command to “Gather together in one place that my saints should be separate from the world and I have commanded that the saints prepare now to be gathered in one place in my name” So Zion’s Camp is a to be a physical place but the Lord also say’s that other people not of the church will gather, for he said "Now I say unto you that the day will shortly come to pass, that every man that will not take his sword against his neighbour must flee unto Zion’s Camp for safety. And there shall be gathered at Zion’s Camp all the righteous of thy seed and a nation will be formed and it will be formed under heaven; and it shall be the only place save Zion in Jackson County Missouri that shall not be at war one with another". So we can see that Zion’s Camp is not just for the saints but for all people seeking safety and peace were all those that do not wish to fight wars and who do not wish to have hatred thrust upon them, although Zion’s Camp will live the law of the most high this will not be thrust upon those that come who are not of our faith, but we aim to love all people whatever they believe, however the laws of Zion’s Camp will be framed by God, but for the benefit of all.

If you want to see such a place built make the donation, pledge your money to help buy the land and build the buildings and put your name forward to come and join with us in Zion’s Camp and make it a reality for the benefit of all those that are seeking a better way of life, free from persecution, war, hunger, poverty and hatred. As the statue of liberty says "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

So once again if you can pledge £29.99 to us to help Zion’s Camp become a reality please pay through pay pal or a cheque if you are paying though pay pal please state that its is for the Zion’s Camp Fund using the following email berwood2001@yahoo.co.uk. If you are paying by cheque then make it payable to The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ and send it to the address below.

We would like to thank every body for their support over this last month with their kind words of support and encouragement. We have fond your love and friendship encouraging and we once again would like to take e the time to thank you publicly for all your heart felt support and fellowship.

The Latter day Church of Jesus Christ has been inundated with emails over the last month and we have tried to answer as many as we can. On the whole the majority of emails we receive. Their have been a lot of you asking to speak with the Prophet Matthew Gill, if you address your email for his attention we will pass it to him and he will endeavour to answer the letter at soon as he can. I’m sure you can imagine that he gets a lot of requests to answer mail personally and he tries to find time to do each one.

We have had a lot of people asking us a lot of different questions this month. One of the questions that has arisen form a few people is do we believe in tithing? And what makes us different to the LDS (UTHA) church on tithing the answer is yes we do believe in tithing, and we do differ on the subject. In fact we were addressed by the Prophet on this issue this week in church.

We believe in section 119 of the 1835 Doctrine and Covenants so we believe in tithing. If you read section 119 of the D&C you will find that Tithing was a question for many in the Church, there were many views and people were paying different amounts and in different ways.

Section 119 was given through revelation by the Lord to be "and this shall be a STANDING LAW UNTO THEM FOREVER". Greatly distinguishing it from other Laws and commandments that God give and later might revoke or change and of course from the policies and teaching established by Church quorums or proposed by leaders that some time change and can have errors. Here the Lord revealed the Law of Tithing to be "a STANDING LAW unto them FOREVER". I remind you that this was for the whole Church, not for some group living a higher Law but rather for the general members and those entering the Church as the Lord clearly set forth in verses 1-7 the rich and the poor the strong and the week the young and the old.

In verses 1-3 the Lord commanded that members already in the Church to give all their SURPLUS property to the Bishop of the Church. The Lord declares what the funds are to be used for and this is the beginning of the tithing of my people. Everyone was to start off with only what they feel they need. All were to enter Zion equal.

In verse 4 the Lord declares "And AFTER THAT" see verse 1-3 (given their all their surplus property) "those who have thus been tithed" shall do the following. He states when they shall do it and what they shall do, the correct amount and on what. He commands: they "shall pay ONE TENTH" "of their INTEREST" and they are to do it "ANNUALLY"

Since the time the Lord gave this STANDING LAW UNTO THE CHURCH FOR FOREVER various leaders and member of other so called Mormon faiths have tried to improve or change the law to their own ideas, in fact if you read the many sermons on tithing in the conferences of the other Mormon churches you will find their leaders trying to be more righteous than the last speaker some how, some claimed the better way was to pay their tithing monthly another as soon as you get it and even another once you get word it is coming to you. These people have discarded the wisdom and law of the Lord, in preference to their ideas of righteousness and wisdom. Tithing is a commandment of God and its details are specifically given by God and are simple and fair to all, and with in it there is great wisdom. But yet we find that the many Mormon faiths including the LDS UTAH Church have rejected the Lords authority to make STANDING LAWS UNTO THE CHURCH. For instance the LDS UTAH church have enacted at least 5 different policy changes at 5 different times since they arrived in SLC and never was there a claim of revelation or inspiration to do it. What we see today is that many Mormon churches including the LDS Utah church, instead of following Gods command listen to mortal men speak and everyone abandons the words give by God to the direct the Church.

Verse 5 of 119 commands that all new members shall pay all of their surplus property too as they gather to Zion. Note this is not before they gather but after, the Lord did not want them not to have the means to gather. Today many of the Mormon Churches and by far the largest of these Mormon churches the LDS Utah church has grown to the point that new converts can gather in their own areas. In any case the command is after they gather they pay the same, no more or no less than those who are already there did. ALL OF THEIR SURPLUS PROPERTY AND AFTER THAT, ONE TENTH WAS AND IS TO BE PAID ON THEIR INTEREST OR INCREASE FOR THAT YEAR, AND IT WAS TO BE DONE ANNUALLY. And this is the reason for an annual meeting with the bishop.

You determine if and how much better off you are this year than the year before and you supply one tenth of that to the Bishop. It is your tithing, not the tithing the bishop determines for you. It is your responsibility to determine if you have prospered and give the correct amount to the Bishop and it is his responsibility to receive, record and do with the tithing properly as set for in verse 2 and not go off and do something else with it or change the Law to his own ideas.

You may have noticed in the above statement I used the term "interest" and "increase". The word "interest" is used by the Lord in verse 4 to define what you are tithed on. The word increase comes from many of the early sermons by the Leaders who had it explained and taught to them by Joseph Smith and were teaching the saints. Interest mean increase, In the early days most members were farmers and worked for themselves and had little certainty of if they were doing better this year than last - having an increase was not known until the crops where harvested and secured in the barn and or sold. In the great wisdom of the Lord, the determining of what interest or increase you had been blessed with was to be made on an annual basis. Everyone could do this. They were not tithed again on what they had only on their increased wealth.

What of the poor and those who had no interest but in fact were poorer this year than last? Tithing as revealed adjusted for that fact and does not add to their burden by taking the bread out of the mouth of the poor. But if a person be they wealthy or poor had an increase from last year they also are capable to pay the Lord his small tenth of that interest. Please note that the Lord did not use the term "income". The whole question of Gross or Net is just a one of many foolish things that has resulted from individuals, leaders and the many Mormon Churches trying to change or allowing attempts to ignore and change the specific commandment and instruction on who, what, when and who is to obey tithing. Live the commandments of God, pay your tithing as He revealed it, not someone else's way.

There is great wisdom in the Lords Law of Tithing I will just mention the few I have noticed, I am sure there are more.
· The individual counts his blessings and wealth.
· There is an appoint time to do this, annually.
· The amount is based on your ability to pay.
· All members were to enter the Church committed.
· All paid initially what they could - all of their surplus...
· All paid no more than they could or should.
· No extra hardship is placed on the poor.
· The Church receives resources needed
· The members are allowed and encouraged to be prosperous.
· The Church is limited to the resources the Lord establishes for them to receive. And will not put heavy yokes on the people in the Lord's name or for righteousness sake calling it - tithing, a commandment from God. But not to run faster than the Church had means.
· It is simple, only 7 verses.
· It is easy to follow correctly.
· It will make the people happy and make God and the people partners in their own prosperity and that of the Church.
· It is designed so that the weakest of saints have no excuse to obey it. And those who didn't obey it where to be kicked out of the Church.
· It is a Standing Law to the whole Church to obey from head to toe, not a just commandment for the members to follow. The leaders and the organization (the Church as a body) have to following this STANDING LAW as revealed.
· It is a commandment with a promise and a warning -- verse 6-7.
· The traditional form of tithing was "in kind" meaning a farmer might pay in crops, a rancher in animals and others in what ever they prospered in but it does not instruct that it has to be paid "in kind" or indicate or limit acceptable forms of tithing payment. Which would allow for changes over time, countries and individuals needs and ability to convert it to a currency?

The wisdom in this simple commandment always amazes me. The Lord knows what works and is righteous. Some people want to pay more, some less some something else, some gross, some net. But if we go beyond the mark and do it even with all sincerity we ignore the word of the Lord, and in our own way like those who refuse to obey His specific instructions, we ignore it. There is no wisdom in and the members and the leaders and the other Mormon Church have no right to modify the commandment that the Lord has given us as a Standing Law. Also to that effect we The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ have no right to change the law because we either do not understand or do not want to live his law.

D&C 119 is a Standing Law unto the Church forever, as given and does not admit modifications! Remember that tithing is what the Lord said it is - nothing more, nothing less and that you are responsible to make sure you obey this HIS LAW correctly in the prescribed way He commanded. It is not a free will offering it is a commandment of God we are obligated to obey, and obey as given. Pay your tithes annually, pay one tenth of you interest , your increase, not income, count your blessings the way the Lord has told you to, there is great wisdom in His prescribed ways, we should not, we must not adopt other ways just as other so called Mormon churches have done just because you do not want to. If you don't practice and obey tithing the Lord's way it's not tithing! It's some apostate form of what God revealed in clarity and simplicity to be a STANDING LAW UNTO THE CHURCH FOREVER!

So what do we say as members of The latter Day Church of Jesus Christ to other Mormon Denominations who refuse to see this law the way we do? I would encourage you to remind them of the story of the Rechabites, and the strong TEMPTATION that they were under when invited to the Temple of God, and there, in one of the apartments, ASKED by Jeremiah, one of THE GREATEST PROPHETS, to drink wine; or, in other words, TO DO SOMETHING THEY HAD BEEN INSTRUCTED by their father not to do. BUT THEY COULD NOT BE MOVED, the teaching of their father had found an abiding place in their hearts, and the consequence was that THEY UTTERLY REFUSED TO DO WHAT THE PROPHET OF GOD TOLD THEM TO DO. THE LORD HIMSELF ADMIRED THE COURSE THAT THEY TOOK IN THIS MATTER and was led as I before said, to make such a glorious promise to the house of Rechab.

If the Lord admired and rewarded these individual for refusing to disregard the instructions of their mortal father and obey the new direct instructions given to them by the prophet in the temple. How much more appropriate is it for you to refuse to disregard a Law of God declared by him to be a standing law forever and not follow numerous authorized changes made by mortal leaders. If you have to choose between your God's standing commandment and your so called bishops or other mortal leaders that instruct you, which will it be? If you or any body else in what ever Mormon faith is not obeying tithing the Lords way, you or they are not live tithing but some perversion of the truth ! Who convinced you to do it is no excuse and it doesn't change God's standing law, to you and to them and to his church!

If this church we to have a motto it should not be "do it" but rather it should be “do it the Lords way"


So there you have it that’s what we believe on tithing. Some people may have seen something similar to this on other sites that’s because common sense is common sense no matter who writes it. We believe in section 119 of the 1835 Doctrine and Covenants and we believe in tithing.

We hope you have a good week, and we are sure that this week’s blog will attract a lot of attention so we stand ready to answer your emails…God Bless

Hello and welcome. This is the blog site for The Latter day Church of Jesus Christ. My name is Matthew Gill and I am the Prophet of not only this church but also of God. I have been asked by the blog administrator to take this weeks blog.

It seems that the following quote by Joseph Smith Jr concerning persecution is very relevant for this church once again this week.... “The Saviour said, Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake; rejoice and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so persecuted they the Prophets which were before you." Now, dear brethren, if any men ever had reason to claim this promise, we are the men; for we know that the world not only hate us, but they speak all manner of evil of us falsely, for no other reason than that we have been endeavouring to teach the fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ”

This week the ugly and evil head of persecution has risen once again, it seems that Satan really has a hold of peoples hearts at the moment and we are bearing the brunt of it. We here at The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ are not here to make enemies but to simply spread the message of the Christ and to tell people about a wonderful gift that he has given the world in The Book of Jeraneck. However it seems that there are groups of people who claim to be members of a church that believes in Jesus and they have took it upon themselves to send us emails that are of a hateful nature and that pour scorn upon a church that they know nothing about and to brand us as evil and under the influence of Satan...however they not only accuse us of of being evil but any one who is not a member of their church the LDS (UTAH) but they also go as far as saying that Muslims are evil, and it would seem that despite their leaders declaring form the stand that there are people in this world inspired by God to bring about change and usher in new eras for mankind that are not members of the LDS church such as Muhammadans.... they are however closed off from this sentiment.

The emails were of such a disgraceful nature that I have decided to list one of them on this blog site and allow you to draw your own conclusion in to their nature. All I would say before you read it is that we have hundreds of emails every week from people wanting to know what we are about and asking sincere and relevant questions however the majority of emails form LDS(Utah) Mormons are of a derogatory nature and have a slanderous viper to them. I don't understand how a people that profess to be led by God can produce such hateful emails. I ask all LDS (Utah) Mormons to take a long look at what this person wrote and ask yourself is that really Christlike...?

HELLO Brother Gill. SO YOU THINK YOU ARE A PROPHET? WHAT A JOKE! ANYONE THAT BELIEVES YOU NEEDS THERE HEADS CHECKED. THERE IS ONLY ONE PROPHET On the Earth Today: GORDEN B HINCKLEY. YOU ARE NO BETTER THAN BENNY HINNTHE TELEVISION-EVANGELIST. YOU BOTH ARE ANTI-CHRISTS. IT IS SO SAD THAT YOUHAVE TO DECEIVE PEOPLE WITH YOUR LIES. TRUST ME...... ONLY THE WEAK ANDFOOLISH WILL BELIEVE YOU. AND IF THEY ARE CRAZY ENOUGH TO BELIEVE YOU, SO BE IT....... YOU ARE NOTHING BUT AN ANTI-CHRIST AND I WILL PRAY FOR YOU
BROTHER GIL. YOU NEED TO REPENT BECAUSE YOU WILL GO TO HELL FOR PREACHING FALSE
DOCTRINE; LET IT BE WRITTEN SO LET IT BE DONE...........THE WORD OF MOSES. YOU ARE MOCKING THE LORD'S ONLY TRUE CHURCH ON EARTH (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) AND YOU WILL BE FOUND OUT. THE ELITE WILL FALL IN THE LAST DAYS.The Words of Jesus Christ, God and Saviour: (Matthew 7:15) "Beware offalse prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are
ravening wolves. YOU ARE ONE OF THE MANY WOLVES THAT HAS BEEN TRYING TO STOP THE WORK OF THE LORD."Upon your rock I will build my church, that even the gates of hell shall not come down upon it". YOU CANNOT DESTROY THE ROCK OF THE LORDSGOSPEL. I DON,T KNOW WHY I,M WASTING MY TIME WITH SATANS SERVANT, BUT NO I HAD A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE THAT LEAD ME TO GODS ONLY TRUE CHURCH ON EARTH. YOU ARE THE ONE FULL OF HATERED AND LIES YOU MUST REPENT BROTHER OR YOUR SOUL WILL BE IN BITTER TORMENT. AND I,M NOT AN ANGRY PERSON JUST THE OPPOSITE. EVERYONE THAT KNOWS ME WILL TELL YOU THAT. I,M A NURSE WHO LOVES PEOPLE AND I,M DOING THE LORDS WORK SO WHY DON,T YOU GET ON YOU LITTLE HANDS AND KNEES AND PRAY FOR FORGIVENESS. PRESIDENT HINKLEY IS A WONDERFUL MAN AND THE ONLY LIVING PROPHET TODAY ON THIS EARTH. I USED TO BE ANGLICAN AND MY HUSBAND WAS CATHOLIC WE ARE SO GREATFUL TO FIND THE ONLY TRUE CHURCH ON EARTH

I have never tried to stop the work of the Lord I just don't think that that work is for the sole ownership of the LDS (Utah) church. No I don't believe that that LDS(UTAH) church is the only true church on the face of the earth, I think a lot of what they do is not what God intended for his people and I believe they have gone astray form the original teachings of Joseph Smith Jr, however I think that they believe just because they have 12 million members or more that gives them the right to go around acting as God and this is wrong no matter what religion you are apart of, but I don't go around persecuting them either! Although a lot of what this person says in the email is doctrinally incorrect it pains me to think that there are people out there that have this much hatred in their hearts. I will pray for them to understand that this is not what Christ would have wanted for his people. I would urge you all to do the same.

Once again let me say without any doubt that The latter Day Church of Jesus Christ has no problem with the LDS(Utah) Mormons or any of its membership, in fact some members of my extend family are LDS, but when its members send hate filled and misguided emails of this nature I will respond and I will react because not to do so would be unwise. I am here as a representative of Christ and as a representative of Christ I see it as my duty to stop this kind of behaviour, I love Christ and I worship him as does my wife, my son, my parents, and all of my family. I do not believe that Brigham Young was chosen to be a Prophet of God by God however that does not entitle me to be derogatory in any way to any one that believes this, I just think they are misguided. I am not an Anti-Christ and I am not a Beeny Hinn, may be all those that think I am should go away and find out first what an Ant-Christ is and also who Benny Hinn is. This church is not rich it is not massive we do not have millions of pounds and we do not seek those things all I am asking is that you read what has been put down in that email and ask yourself if they are the words and actions of someone that has Christ in the centre of their lives and ask yourself if they are the actions of someone who pre ports to be a chrsitian.We have done nothing to warrant this kind of behaviour our blog site is not inciting hatred and we do not deserve this kind of abuse. All we have done since we started the blog is to reach out to people, what is so wrong with that? we are not selling children or drugs or encouraging prostitution, we are simply spreading a message of hope form God and we are telling the world that we have a new record of a people that lived in the British isles that also had a relationship with God....I ask once again what is wrong with that?

As for me all I can say with my hand on my heart that I love the Saviour and I love what he has given me and my family, and that is a belief in him and in the holy scriptures, and I would die to protect his name and his gospel. I hope that you all have a wonderful week and that Christ's presence can be felt in your lives. God bless you my friends and if your not my friend God bless you any way!

It seems that not every body understands what the Book of Jeraneck is or what it is about. It seems that some people think that it is a rehash of the Book of Mormon only set in Britain, or a substitute fro the Bible or Book of Mormon. So for this week we are going to try to let everyone now what the Book of Jeraneck is about and what makes it different from the Book of Mormon, note we say different not better than. The Latter day Church of Jesus Christ holds the Book of Mormon and the Bible as a sacred books of scripture.

The Book of Jeraneck is a further witness of Jesus Christ. It is a history of a people who fled the destruction of the tower of Babel. Now the tower of babel is mentioned in the Bible briefly in genesis Chapter 11 it was tower build to reach the heavens. we suppose and of course this only a guess that the tower of babel was somewhere in the region of modern day Iraq so that would be Persia or Babylon . The towers destruction is not mentioned in Genesis but it is mentioned here in the Book of Jeraneck and also in the Book of Ether in the book of Mormon. To answer the critics who say that this record has not one single old testament reference we say look a little closer. But firstly this is a record not kept by Jews they make no reference to old testament prophets because ultimately they are not Jews don't forget the Bible was only formed in to the bible as we have it years after the life and death of Jesus Christ. We don't even know how complete the Bible is. The other thing that has been asked is why do we not here mention of Christ visiting the people in Britain. This is simple relay they were warned that if they did not remain faithful that privilege would be taken form them and that they would not get to witness that event, however remember that this history took place years before he was even born. The Jaredite history in the book of Mormon could be asked the same thing. If the people of light had been faithful who knows maybe they would have seen the Christ walk among them, we still don't know that he didn't, because we don't yet have all the record of this people given to us only a part. The people in the Book of Jeraneck are not Jewish and therefore as the Bible is a Jewish record we find few examples of the people in the Book of Jeraneck using names from the old Testament. The people in the Book of Jeraneck were commanded by God to journey from the vicinity surrounding the tower of Babel to a new land that was promised them by God.

After many years of wondering in the wilderness and after a group of them broke of from the main group and went their own way the main group that kept Gods law came to what is today known a Carnac in France. There they stayed many years and after a time were commanded to build ships and sail to the land that they had been promised.

When the people arrived in Great Britain they set about building buildings and temples and homes. They built a temple at the place they call the Plains of Shainnon which is modern day Salisbury plain and Stonehenge. The temple was destroyed eventually because of the people s wickedness. The people in the Book of Jeraneck were led to Great Britain and they recorded there history on many records. The final Prophet who was called Jeraneck made it his life's work to compile a history on to one records of the people, so he took the meat of the history of his people and laid it down on 24 plates he called the plates of Jeraneck. Just before Jeraneck takes up the sword in defence of those who remain with him he gives the record to God for safe keeping until the time comes when his son who had gone in to hiding is ready to bring them forth again to the lords servant. We know that Jeraneck's son delivered that record to us.

The Book of Jeraneck stands as a witness of Jesus Christ, not in the fact that he came to the people in the flesh and lived among them but in the fact that he spoke to them and that he directed their lives and that the people loved him and followed his council, this stands as a testimony that god speaks to all his children not just a select few. We The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ believe that there are lots and lots of records that testify of people all over the world that lived by gods law and spoke with him, and we wait for that day with eager anticipation when we shall have them and be able to read them. However if there remain people in opposition to this then there fruits shall be lost to them. Those people have become like the persecutors of Joseph Smith Jr who said that the Book of Mormon could not be a book of scripture because they already had a Bible and what need for they to have another one, in short they missed the point and therefore the opportunity to better understand God. We are saying the same here, the Book of Jeraneck testifies that Christ lives and that he loves us and that there were once other people that worshipped him and called him master and lord. I believe that the Book of Jeraneck is a wonderful example of how when people forget God they forget who they are and with that comes the end.

My wish is that all those that now ridicule this book and its message and who slate it will one day remember who they are and what God promised in the Doctrine and Covenants is now coming forth that he would indeed give his people more records of the children of God that testify that he is the one true Lord of us all. I ask that you read the Book for yourselves and put to the test what Jeraneck asks near the end of the book, read it with an open mind not a closed one. Christ can not enter a closed door we must be willing to let him in.

Once again welcome one and all. What a busy week we have had here at The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ. We would like to thank all those people who have written e-mails and requested Books of Jeraneck, it is a real pleasure to be able to answer all the e-mails and to see the interest that you all have for the work that we are doing, once again thank you and God Bless.

Now as some of you may be aware the church had commissioned some art work to be done for the second edition of the Book of Jeraneck. We are well within our target to get the art work done and I have to say the quality of the work of the artist is fantastic. We have some new pictures to share with you all this week. We are still awaiting a further three pieces from the artist which will hopefully be finished by the end of this month. As for the word layout for the second edition, this has been sent to the printers and we are waiting final approval on that as well. We are hoping that by the end of August we will have the entire second edition done and dusted.

Now as the administrator for this week I have been asked to let every body know that we are always available on Sundays for Sunday worship if you feel that you wish to partake of the service then please come by and join with us. We begin at ten o'clock and although we are a small congregation we welcome all to come and join with us and see what we have to offer, we especially call on all those Mormons who need to fill part of there testimony or knowledge that is not being done by other Mormon denominations, however what ever religious leaning or not you are all welcome. I have also asked the Prophet Matthew Gill to include a small message from him this week that I think is most appropriate for the times we live in today, this was written solely for inclusion on this weeks blog.

The world is in a a lot of trouble and there are many people looking for answers to all the mess that we find ourselves in. As a Prophet of God I can tell you that the answers for those questions and problems will not be found by asking and relying on the government or people of like mind. God knows the world better than we do, after all he created it and it was he who formed it and made is stay in its place in the heavens. As a people we are being torn apart by scare tactics by the government and particularity scare tactics about the end of the world and global warming. We are being told that if we don't do something now there wont be a world for our children to inherit, it will die and it will be us that is to blame for this. Let me just say now that God will never allow this world to die, it will be made whole once again when he comes, there will be no destruction of the earth no global warming will destroy this mighty work that has been done. The world or the planet is in safe hands, Gods hands. However I am not saying that God will prevent disaster happening such as floods and fires and earthquakes and the like, but we must remember why they happen. What I am going to say now may come as a shock to many but this is the case. When we as people forget the Lord and deny his existence and we forsake him and become an unrighteous people we are no longer under Gods protection and covenant, no matter how much we hate to hear this being said its true we are being punished by God for our wickedness, that's the truth of it and the only way that we can save ourselves is by turning back to God and asking him for forgiveness. The problems will get worse no matter how much recycling and cutting down your carbon footprint you try to do. It want matter if you put your plastic bottles in to a different container to your glass or your potato peeling in to a different container to your meet, all of this deflects from the real problem and that problem is that we have forgotten God and we have become as Sodom and Gomorrah Now know that things will get worse we know that it will take the saviour himself return to usher in a a thousand years of peace, but as Christians and Mormons we believe that we must still remain faithful even though all around us people are loosing there heads and are not doing as God commands we must remain strong as resolute until God calls us out. My friends, The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ have the answers that all of you are looking for and we have talked to allot of people already, however we are living in the last days when the times of the Gentiles is soon to be fulfilled don't be left out in the cold and dreary world come unto us and we will take you in and give you refuge form the darker storms that are coming. God bless you all and my the Lord keep you in his thoughts.

I would like to thank the prophet for his sermon and ask you all to pray on hat he has said and take up his challenge. Now as promised the new pictures from the artist

To the left we have a picture of Zinon speaking to his forces before the Great battle. To the Right we have the Library of Nimdoa that was shown to the three Righteous Brothers. I'm sure that you will agree that the quality and texture of thee pictures is wonderful

I hope that this weeks blog has helped you or inspired you in some way please remember to email us or contact us if you are interested in anything todo with the church. have a great week. God Bless

What a great week it has been for the church this week. We have had numbers of people emailing and asking for copies of the book of Jeraneck. We feel that we are being blessed by the Lord Jesus Christ in having these emails and that we are able to share the message that we have to lots of people that we do not know personally.

The Prophet Matthew Gill was asked this week to supply some information to a research team with regards to putting some of the information about The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ in to a book, the book is entitled
“Divergent paths of the restoration” the author of the book is planning on updating the information, so it was for this reason that the prophet has been asked to send said information about the church to them. We have also been told that the church will also be included on some restoration discussion groups on the net so hopefully we will see some interest been shown from them also.

We have been told this week that the art work for The Book of Jeraneck will be finished well within time and that the target for the end of August will be met well with time, We look forward to receiving the art work and getting the second edition out as soon as possible after this. To all those that wish to receive a copy of The Book of Jeraneck we can either send you a book or we can email you a copy. However is you wish to reserve a copy of the second edition wit all the art work and new page lay out then please contact Elder Philip Gill so that we can start listing names of people that would like to receive a copy.

The Prophet Matthew Gill once again reiterated on Sunday that we are going to be having some wonderful news given to us near the end of the year beginning of next that will help move the work forward. We wait with eager anticipation at this news and new revelations and we hope that we are able to support what ever the Lord has in store for his people.
We have been asked this week about how the church is organised with regards to general officers so with this we have gained permission from the prophet to include that part of the "Church Administration Hand Book" on this weeks blog. We hope that the Lord brings you a great week and that his presence is with you through out the course of the week . God bless and may the Lord keep and protect you.

General Church Administration

The Office of Prophet of The Church
The president of the church is the Prophet, Seer, Revelator and Translator. It is the duty of the President to preside over the whole church and to be like unto Moses (See D&C 107:42) The President or Prophet is called of God by revelation and none else shall be appointed unto this gift (prophet of church) except it be through him (See D&C 43:1-2) The prophet is ordained of God and through him all revelations from God will be made known to the church
(See D&C 28:2) The prophet of the church is also appointed two counselors by revelation

(See D&C 107)

The Standing High Council of Zion
The standing high council of Zion is the church's highest legislative and judicial council. The standing high council of Zion consists of twelve men appointed by revelation, headed by the Prophet and his counselors ( See D&C 102:1) This Standing High Council takes on the role of chief judicial and legislative body of the church and handles such things as excommunication trials and handles all cases not settled by the presiding Bishop. The standing high council of Zion is also responsible for the approval of all church spending. The standing high Council of Zion is the first council of the church and all things that need to be appealed go to the Standing High Council of Zion, and then to the Presidency of the Church.

Presidency of The High Priests
The Presidency of the High Priests is spoken of in the Doctrine and Convents (See D&C 107:11) The presidency of the High priests is instituted for the purpose of qualifying those who shall be appointed to the standing council of Zion and also those who shall be appointed to The Travelling Council of Twelve Apostles (See D&C 124:42)

The Travelling Council of Twelve Apostles
The Travelling Council of Twelve Apostles is twelve men, ordained to the office of Apostle to oversee the missionary work of the church and are also sent out amongst the world to preach the gospel to all the world (See D&C 107:35 & D&C 124:128) The Travelling Twelve are subordinate to the Standing High Council of Zion. When vacancies arise in the Travelling Twelve, The Presidency of the High Priests appoints a replacement.

The Quorums of Seventy
“The Quorums of Seventy are called to preach the gospel and to be especial witnesses unto the Gentiles and unto all the world” (See D&C 107:11) The Quorums of Seventy are equal in authority to The Travelling Council of Twelve Apostles (See D&C 107:11) Within The Quorums of Seventy seven presidents are chosen by revelation to preside over them. The seventh president of these is to preside over the six. The Seven presidents are then to choose a further seventy as the spirit dictates and that second seventy are to be travelling ministers unto the gentiles and unto the Jews (See D&C 107:43)

The Presiding Bishop
The Presiding Bishop is the president of the Aaronic Priesthood over the whole church
(See D&C 107:8) The Presiding Bishop is also responsible for administering all the temporal affairs of the church and it is his responsibility to see that the tithing of the church is being used responsibly as in the days of Joseph (See D&C107:32) all cases of discipline and welfare that are not settled by the presiding Bishop go to the Standing High Council of Zion.

Patriarch of Zion
The Patriarch of Zion is one of the highest positions in the Church. It is an office that is handed down by Lineal succession as commanded by the Lord (see D&C 124:29) The Patriarch of Zion holds all the keys of the Patriarchal blessing and it is only through him that a Patriarchal blessing my be given. The Patriarch of Zion my also stand in at the head of meetings if the Prophet is not present (see D&C124:29)

The Anointed Quorum
The Anointed Quorum is a Holy Order. It is a select body of men and women (No Single Sisters) who the Prophet initiates into Temple ceremonies, which gives them special standing before the Lord. The Prophet gives this group, which should only number Sixty to One Hundred people, most couples, but not all, also receive their Second Anointing. Members also hold meetings, which are to be held usually every two weeks, in these meetings Prayer Circles are to be held, because prayer plays an important role in the Church. Nearly all members of the Anointed Quorum are to be chosen from The Office of The Prophet,The Standing High Council of Zion and any that the Lord revels to his prophet.

REGIONAL ADMINISTRATION

The Presiding Elder is to take the lead and conduct the meetings of the church as they are led by the Holy Ghost (See D&C 20:9) The Elders are also required to administer the Sacrament of the church (See D&C 20:8) They are required to confirm new members in to the church and to teach, expound, exhort, and to watch over the church (See D&C 20:8)

The Office of Priest
The office of Priest is given by revelation to worthy males as directed by the spirit of revelation. The duty of a Priest is to preach, Teach, expound, exhort, and baptise. A Priest is also required to administer the Sacrament of the church along with the Elders of the church. The duties of the Priest’s of the Lords church are to contact each member, weather by visiting their home or speaking to them by phone, they are to exhort them to pray and attend to all family duties. A Priest may ordain other Priests, teachers and deacons. The Priests are also to take the lead in the meetings of the church when there is no Elder present
(See D&C 20:10)

The Office of Teacher
The office of Teacher is given by revelation to worthy males directed by the spirit of revelation. The duty of a Teacher is to watch over the church always, and be with, and strengthen them. They are to see that there is no iniquity in the church, neither hardness with each other, neither, lying, backbiting, nor evil speaking.

Hello once again and welcome firstly to our members and also to our visitors. We hope that the week has been good to you and that the Lords hand has helped guide you on your way.

This week the blog is being written by the Prophet of the church Matthew Philip Gill, so over to the Prophet for this weeks subject....

As the Prophet of the church I am always asked questions by outsiders on doctrine and also which of the scriptures we embrace in The latter Day Church of Jesus Christ. Firstly we only use those scriptures authorised by the Lord and also of Joseph Smith Jr, because we are Mormons and he was our founding Prophet and to use anything else would be a server lack of judgement. However over the last couple of weeks we have been asked exactly which scriptures we use so here it is for all those who want to know, and i will explain one of the reason we do this. We use the 1830 Book of Mormon, the 1835 Doctrine and Covenants the Inspired version of the Bible and of course the new scriptures that we have been given through revelation they are the book of Jeraneck and the book of Prophesy and Revelation.

Now to explain one of the reasons why we us 1835 Doctrine and Covenants. Well this can be explained in few ways but I will us the following. Firstly the 1835 Doctrine and Covenants was the only copy of the Doctrine and Covenants to be approved by the Prophet Joseph Smith Jr and to be sustained by the general membership of the church which is a must for all scripture as outlined in the Doctrine and Covenants. The other reason is that you will only find sections that Joseph Smith Jr approved to be their for example in the 1835 edition you will not find any mention of subjects such a Polygamy and also the most famous American Civil Car prophesy...the reason behind this is that Joseph Smith Jr never wrote any thing either in favour of Polygamy or about the American Civil War.

Many LDS members believe that Joseph Smith Jr prophesied the American Civil War in 1832 but it fails to appear in any contemporary writing of the time even though in the LDS edition of the Doctrine and Covenants section 87 it is dated December 25, 1832, this did not appear in the 1833 Book of Commandments or in any edition of the Doctrine and Covenants or in any LDS scripture for that matter until after the Civil War began! It was first printed in the 1851 Pearl of Great Price in England. So to all those LDS members that keep bombarding my office with emails and letters asking why we have gone astray from the true church I say this, maybe you need to look a little closer at your own scriptural faults and not at ours. Joseph Smith Jr was a great man a man that used sense not illogical thinking, i mean why write a prophesy as important and the American Civil war and leave it out of not only the book of commandments but the 1835 Doctrine and Covenants....I mean it smacks of things that are a little dark and suspect on the part of the LDS church.

So to some up i say this stop being so blind stop being sheep look a little deeper, its all there you just have to have the desire to look a little beyond the end of your own nose, for heavens sake just do it. If we can be of any assistance then please contact us. God Bless

We also have a new picture from our artist this week we hope you like it.

here is a scene of Jeraneck finishing the record of the people of light with is son standing by his side. I think that the artist has done a great job in capturing the council chamber and the last days of the righteous.

If you would like any more information on the Book of Jeraneck please contact us we will be morethan willing to help.

Finally it’s done!! The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ 2007 Spring General Assembly is now available to all who wish to acquire a copy. The church will make copies available to all through our publishing arm The Times & Seasons Press. The Spring General Assembly is the first general assembly of the year for The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ the second to be held in the winter. We would like to thank all those for the help they have given, no matter how small, in making this DVD a reality…God bless you all.

A new revelation was presented to the church by the Prophet last Sunday and was met with great enthusiasm by all the members of the church. As is usual the revelation has been inserted in to the book of Prophesy & Revelation and has also been put in to the churches collection of revelations to be used by the church as a teaching aid.

The Church library is slowly taking shape with a collection of Books, tracts and also DVD’s they are there to be used so please make good use of them weather for a talk or simply just for study, remember that it is by knowledge that we shall know God, so please use the library. We hope to be able to add such things as pictures and book marks and posters to the library soon so please keep yourselves up to date with what is in the library.

Once again our door is always open and our Prophet is always available for you to talk to so please visit or drop us a line. God bless and keep you. On the lighter side, as we do have one! Here is some wonderful funnies that Vicki Gill wife of the Prophet Found…..we love these!! ENJOY

"What if the Book of Mormon had been written by Dr. Seuss?"

Nephi: Of goodly parents I was born I've never drunk, I've never sworn This is Lehi, he's my dad Laman, Lemuel, they are bad And who is this? Why this is Sam Yes, this is Sam;

Sam: Sam I am

Laman: That Sam I am, that Sam I am I do not like that Sam I am

Sam: In a tent, my father dwelt

Laman: And it's so hot, I think I'll melt

Lemuel: Our father's brain is out of whack

Laman: Yeah, it's too hot, I'm going back

Lehi: Then go and get the plates my dear

Laman: On second thought, I'm staying here

Nephi: You said you'd leave and go away Now all you want to do is stay?

Lemuel: That Nephi always gets his way

Laman: Here we are in this damp cave

Sam: We would not be here if you'd behave

Nephi: I will go and I will do There's the angel, that's my cue Laban's had too much to drink Now he'll lose his head, I think

Nephi: Look what I found, a brother from the quorum

Sam: We will take him home, we will call him Zoram

Lemuel: Oh great, another pathetic life form

Laman: Our gold and silver we have spent I do not like it in this tent

Lemuel: I cannot read the Liahona I must have drunk too much Corona

Laman: We hate it here, we have no lives

Lehi: Then go back to the city and get some wives

Lehi: A tree, a tree, I see a tree The fruit is white, the fruit is free A floating building, could it be? Why do they laugh and stare at me? Laman, Lemuel, come and see

Laman: We will not eat your precious fruit

Lemuel: We will not wear a tie and suit

Laman: We will not help you build your boat

Lemuel: We do not think that it will float

Laman: No not this boat, it will not float Not even in a shallow moat I do not care what Nephi wrote

Lemuel: We will not eat your fruit I say

Laman: We will not eat it on a tray

Lemuel: And we won't eat it in a tent Not even if your clothes you rent

Laman: We'd rather have a can of spam

L & L: We will not eat it, Sam I am

Sam: You do not like it, so you say Try it, try it, and you may Try it and you may I say

Laman: Sam, if you will let us be, We will try it, you will see

L&L: Say, we like this fruit of life Sorry that we caused such strife You've saved us from an awful jam Thank you, thank you, Sam I am

Real Creation of Eve

So, God asked Adam, "What is wrong with you?" Adam said he didn't have anyone to talk to. God said that He was going to make Adam a companion and that it would be a woman. God said, "This person will gather food for you, cook for you, and when you discover clothing she'll wash it for you. She will always agree with every decision you make. She will bear your children and never ask you to get up in the middle of the night to take care of them. She will not nag you and will always be the first to admit she was wrong when you've had a disagreement. She will never have a headache and will freely give you love and passion whenever you need it." Adam asked God, "What will a woman like this cost?" And God replied, "An arm and a leg." Adam said, "So, what could I get for a rib?" And, the rest is history.

Welcome once again to the blog site for
The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ.
We have seen many things happen in the news this week that have been prophesied in the scriptures….once again a sign that the times of the gentiles is soon to be fulfilled. This makes us all very proud to be apart of the true church of Jesus Christ. To all those out there that are not members and who are worried, remember that we live in the times spoken of by the great Prophet of the Old and New testament, troubling times yes, but we look forward to the reward at the end.

This week’s blog is a little different. The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ has commissioned some work to be done for the Book of Jeraneck. After a long time looking we were finally led to a wonderful artist who has taken the job and who has put a lot of work and passion in to this project already. On this blog today we are going to be showcasing some of the work that is being done, and some of the work that has already been completed. When the work has finally been completed we will have them bound in with the second edition of the Book of Jeraneck. We hope that every one will enjoy looking at them and to all those that have read the book we hope that this will give you a glimpse in to the world of the People of Jeraneck. We also hope that for all those that have never read the book that these pictures will give you some idea of what the book is about and also inspire you to contact us for your copy of the book. Enjoy!

The pictures above are entitled

"The chosen brothers"

Here we see the artists stages of building the picture. The first picture builds the basics of the drawing, the second gives us a basic pencil line picture while the last one gives us the finished article in all its glory

The above pictures are a collection of pictures that we have had done the centre picture is entitled "My last words". The one to the right is a picture of the sacred temple after its destruction once again these are just drafts at the moment they still need colour and finishing. But you can see that the artist has made a wonderful attempt at what she has been asked to do.

We at The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ hope that you have enjoyed looking at the pictures and we hope that this inspires you to find out more. If you do then please contact us we are more than willing to help. Remember the Lord says "Ask and ye shall receive, knock and it shall be opened unto you" We wish you all a very good week. Good bless.

Be Not Troubled

Matthew 24:6-27

Over the past couple of weeks we have seen the most unusual events take place here in our own country events that have sparked people’s emotions and have coursed people to ask why, why are these things happening to us. We have experienced extremely bad weather for the summer which have resulted in floods, we have seen terrorism rear its ugly head again and because of those things we have experienced death. We live in a country that was set aside by God for the righteous a lot like the American continent. However we have broken the covenant that we made with God and now we are reaping what we have sown. The Book of Jeraneck speaks of the times we are living in, it say that “When this record shall come forth it will come forth in a time of great tribulation a time of great suffering for the people of this land, it will come forth at the very time when the Lord of heaven comes for the second time” It warns us that if we do not repent of what we have done and come back to the straight path of the Lord then our nation and our people will fall and be destroyed just as his people were. However we are told in the Bible to "be not troubled". Our Lord told us not to be troubled, because these are only the beginning of the birth of a new world led by God himself. See Matt. 24:8. I believe that God is warning not only the world but most important of all this nation. We have broken his covenant and we have gone away from him and these events are warnings designed to turn us to Him. But with all children who have rebelled and lost their way we are ignoring these signs and we are trying to pass them of as anything other than God sending us signs and warnings we would rather blame global warming and other phenomenon rather than admit that we have been unrighteous toward God. However what we are seeing and experiencing is just a prelude. The warnings are going to continue during the next few years, and they will build in intensity and ferocity.

We live in very troublesome and uncertain times. With all the worldwide disasters and wars, most people see a dark and fearful future and have no idea of their eternal destiny, people don't know which way to turn, people are lost and are asking why, why is all this happening to us. The reason they are asking these things is because they have lost their way they have sold themselves out to the world or to that which is easy, they have sold or lost their birth right and that is the gospel of Jesus Christ. We here at The Latter Day church of Jesus Christ are here to tell you that you wont get lasting help and hope form world leaders or even our own leaders here in the UK. The only person who can help you out of this is the Saviour Jesus Christ. It is his redeeming love that will be with you forever. We are as has been said already nearing the coming of the Saviour for the second time, but before that we will have to go through many more troubled times, are we ready to journey through them and stay the course? Do any of you now what that course is? To all those that don’t and to all those that want to find out then please come to us and we will show you the way. In the not to distant future we will be asked to sign up to things that the Bible forbids. We will be asked to lay down our liberty and freedom for the procurement of security for the nation. We must remember that we have been told that all these things will be asked of us not by God but by the world and therefore by the devil. God has told us what we are to do in these troubled and uncertain times. He has though modern day revelation told us that we are to be aloof form the world that we are to be ready to flee from the world and not to sacrifice our beliefs for a bowl of potage we must be ready to answer the call. Dark and troubled times lay ahead. The darkness has descended and will not be lifted for many years yet, of course during these dark times we may have a glimpse of light and may think that the worst has passed, this is not so for only the Lord will deliver us from this state of affairs. No amount of sealed bags of wheat will save you. It is up to us for the sake of our God and our Family's to nurture the light of the gospel and to be ready to defend what we believe in. No matter the consequence.

I think that you will find the following scripture to be of some comfort. It just shows that god is concerned for us so much so that he told ancient prophets about our day so that we may be able to be for warned. Read and take heed. We are always ready to stand ready and to answer any question that you might have. please call us.

Matthew 24: 6-27

6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.

10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, whoso readeth, let him understand:

16 Then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains:

17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

19 And woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days!

20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day:

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the

world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

24 For there shall arise false Christ’s, and false prophets, and shall shew great

signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

25 Behold, I have told you before.

26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

27 For as the lightning cometh out of the beast, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

It would seem that the saying “You can lead a horse to water but you cant make him drink” is very true. No matter how hard you try, no matter how much you do some people never seem to want to embrace the truth. This blog is written by many members of the church not just by one person, it is true to day that it is compiled by one person, but many people contribute to its content. We are not afraid to tell the truth no matter how much some people wish to hid from it. We as a church have had many people come and sit in discussion with us, some have been more open than others, but there are some that would wish to engage in secret discussions to save face with those of other Mormon sects. We will not condone this act. It says in the Book of Mormon that secret acts are not of God but of the devil...we are not ashamed to say that we have had many LDS Mormons in our midst wanting to know the truth, but that many of them only hear what they want and many are so afraid to be found out that they either stop coming or they deny that the meetings ever took place. It makes me wonder what sort of people they are as to have such a terrifying hold over other people, and what lies they are told to keep hold of these people. We are believers in the Christ, we worship him and we pay tribute to him in our worship. We want all people especially those LDS Mormons to see past the lies and falsehoods of the history of the LDS church. Wake up see the lies that you have been told and come and hear what we have to say.

The Prophet of the church has asked if the following statement be added to the blog this week, so I have posted it on the blog:-

I know without a doubt that we are doing is of God. However many others either do not believe this or are indifferent about not only our beliefs but their own. I know what I am going to say now will not be embraced with anything else other than hatred and guile, but I wish to stress that I say these words with compassion and love in my heart and I say them with the authority of God himself. Many people including members of my extended family have not the slightest clue of what we teach or even believe in. Many of my extended family don't even have what can be termed a testimony of the religions they are apart of. I say this because they have not fulfilled much of the criteria for having a testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ, yet they continue to carry on in the religion and the beliefs they have become accustomed to because the pull of such things is stronger than themselves, as such they have become like the Lamanites of the Book of Mormon or even the children of Lioneck of the Book of Jeraneck. We know from reading the lectures on faith that it is by knowledge that we can know God for knowledge breeds faith and that knowledge will allow us to see the very face of God. We are first to study and learn and then and only then can we know that God lives. Many people including my extended family have never read the Book of Mormon let alone study it, neither have they ever read the Bible Old and New testament, not to mention the Doctrine and Covenants. It seems that to do as the scriptures state we must first read then gain a knowledge, for example how can you truly know that Joseph Smith Jr is a true Prophet of God if you have never read the Book of Mormon, which is the very key stone of the man and his mission, not to mention the Doctrine and Covenants which contain the doctrines and commandments of God given through Joseph Smith Jr the Prophet, the answer you cant, its impossible and to think otherwise is just plain stupidity and foolishness. My extended family and they know who they are, are in what I like to term the bubble zone. They are so content and comfortable that they just coast along. I remember a conversation I had with one of my extended family a while ago and they admitted that as long as you feel comfortable at church that is all that matters, is it, is it all that matters? To Enoch and his family I say this, one day the Lord will ask “Who's side are you on” “What knowledge have you gained of my gospel” and we will have to stand ready to answers. We cant afford to be fence sitters its just not what God wants, remember he says that he will spew forth from his mouth all those that are lukewarm. What are you? It is more noble to say that I don't know what is true and withdraw and find out than it is to hide yourself away and just carry on as normal. Some times it is hard to do but the rewards are great. That brings me on to the Book of Jeraneck. How many have you have read it? I know who has copies and who hasn't. My extended family have a copy, have they read it have they prayed about it? Most of them would rather pick at it try to find fault rather than come to me and ask me about it, why? The answers to these things are to be found in the sentences above. A family from the LDS church also have a copy of the book and they are also just picking at it. Now i say to you, ask yourselves this. Are the questions that you asked us to answer that night you came to our house still relevant in your mind? are they still troubling you? Then do what your heart and spirit are telling you to do and stop fighting it.

I love all those that wish to seek the truth and i love all those that are stuck in there ways. However the truth is here it is within your reach don't let things like jobs or pier pressure stop you from embracing the truth or even talking about it with us, remember it says by their fruits ye shall know them. If you lose friends or jobs because of the decision you make to come unto us and talk and embrace what we have to say then they are not very goods fruits to be had in the first place. I know that what we have now is real the Book of Jeraneck is true and the that God has given that ancient record to us because it is relevant to our day and to our circumstances. I pray that you will look beyond the horizon and come and see and talk to us. Amen

I would like to thank the Prophet for the words that he has put on the blog I'm sure that the Lord will bless who ever reads them to come and enquire about what we are doing. Other news now. We have been given the first of six pictures that the church has had commissioned. They depict events in the Book of Jeraneck and they will be published with the second edition of the Book of Jeraneck and will also be available for people to buy as individual copies to go in their homes. We have also complied several books for people to read that concern our beliefs and also there is now available a collection of all the revelations that the church has had. This is not the Book of Prophesy and Revelation but a separate book that the the church has had made so that they can be given to all those that wish to read them. We have also registered the name The Times and Seasons Publishing as the publishing arm of the church and all books will carry a logo with those word from now on. The long awaited DVD and on-line video of the General Assembly Meeting is in the process of being completed so we are expecting that in the coming week.
The Lord is progressing the work and the Lord is blessing us. We must continue to do as he commands and I know that as we do this that he will bless us. Once again the invitation is open to all those that wish to attend the Sunday Sacrament and Sunday school service. The services start at 10 o'clock am on Sunday and we would love to see you there. All the relevant info can be obtained by calling us or emailing us. Until then God be with you. amen

What a week it has been for the church. A wonderful event happened last Friday when we were visited by the Hill family. The Hills have done everything that the pictures to the right says, they have knoked and the Lord has answerd. They were fantastic asking questions and listening to what we had to say, they are wonderful people and they are trying very hard to find the truth and to understand the gospel, I hope that we have many more conversations and discussions with the Hill’s and we hope that they will embrace the words of the Prophet Matthew Gill and become members of The Latter Day Church of Jesus Christ.

The second edition of the Book of Jeraneck is all ready for the printers we are just awaiting the illustrations that the church has had commissioned to be completed and then it along with the other books ready for printing will be sent to the publishers for the final work to begin. You might have noticed that the blog site has changed? It was given a revamp in the attempt to get more information on the page itself.

Now we come to a part of this weeks blog that we thought needed attention. We were left a comment on the blog last week, we don’t mind comments in fact we welcome them, however this one and other comments that we have had are very cynical. To the person who left the comment last week. Revelation, what is it do you understand the meaning of revelation? It would seem not. You accuse us of regurgitating and using things that have already been said, tell me have you ever read the Doctrine and Covenants? Try this and then come back and make an argument when you know what you are talking about. The Lord gives our Prophet Matthew P Gill words to say and sometimes images, these things a are for the benefit of the people that he gives them to and if the Lord uses a sentence or a words that are in a previous revelation who are we to argue with the Lord…after all they are his words. However if you feel qualified to do this please be our guests and go ahead and make your case with him. May be you are an LDS member who has never really understood the meaning of Revelation, this would not be a surprise as you have never had a Prophet of God in your midst before, so I can understand you getting confused. Our Prophet Matthew P Gill has given many revelations and has Prophesied many things to the church and also to other people, as you have never read them your argument holds no substance.

Let me say once again as the web administrator we welcome all who comment on our site and about what you read, however commenting is one thing being rude, ill mannered and
un-Christ like is not something that we welcome. The Prophet has asked that I remind you all that we are trying to bring people unto Christ and Christ alone. Please remember this.

To all those that have received revelations, the Lord is giving you these for a purpose, that purpose is not for you to do nothing but to go to him in prayer and fasting and finally to come to a conclusion about what you have read, remember we are hear if you need to talk about what you have received, the Lord God wants you to rejoice in what you have been blessed with.

Until next week brothers and sisters we hope you all have a pleasant week and that God enriches your lives with his presence and love.
