ALPHABETIC HISTORY of CIVILIZATION
ANCIENT and MODERN GENEALOGIES

PREFACE
This book evaluates historical knowledge as it relates to ancient and modern genealogies.
Information gleaned from social contexts, both secular and religious, are reviewed, using
modern genealogical research specialist standards: to properly reconstruct and correctly
portray real historical lives and family pedigrees.  Cultural, religious and family tradition,
(their stated facts and viewpoints), are surveyed within given ancient contexts of primary
and secondary record sources, as handed down for the benefit of our modern generation.
Modern claims of genealogical attachment to biblical records are noted, with remarks.

INTRODUCTION

Pliny the Elder, circa A.D. 23 - 79, scholar, historian, and scientific encyclopedist,
born at Novum Comum in northern Italy but mainly resident of Rome, mentions
the Phoenicians in his thirty seven book work: Natural History.  This record,
considered by some as the apex of ancient science after the time of the school
of Aristotle, stated that: "To the Phoenician people belongs the glory of having
invented letters and discovered the sciences of astronomy, navigation and the art
of war."  In Cory's Ancient Fragments, by Isaac Preston Cory, Esq., mention is made
of the Greek historian previous to the Christian era, by name called Eupolemus.
This Eupolemus notes that in the tenth generation, Abraham lived in Camarina of
Babylonia [Urie], a city of the Chaldeans, and was of noble heritage and superior
to all others in wisdom.  Abraham was stated to be the inventor of astrology and
the Chaldaean magic; esteemed of God due to his eminent and recognized piety.
Under the direction of the God of Heaven, Abraham removed and lived in
Phoenicia, and there taught the Phoenicians the motions of the sun and moon
and all other things, for which reason, he was held in great reverence, by the
Phoenician King.

Dr. Louis Henry Feldman writes about "Proselytes and 'Sympathizers' in the Light
of the New Inscriptions from Aphrodisias", in Revue des Études Juives,
Volume CXLVIII, Issue (3-4), juillet-décenbre 1989, pages 265-305; that:
"The Jews' reputed skill in astrology may likewise have proved an attraction.
The Graeco-Jewish historian Artapanus (circa 100 BCE) (ap. Eusebius,
Praeparatio Evangelica 9.18.1) states that it was Abraham who taught
the Egyptian pharaoh the science of astrology.  Similar statements are
found in pseudo-Eupolemus (ap. Eusebius, Praeparatio Evangelica 9.17.8)
and Josephus (Antiquities of the Jews 1.167).

Indeed, Hadrian (Scriptores Historia Augusta, Quadrigae Tyrannorum 8.3)
remarks that there is no chief of a synagogue who is not an astrologer
(mathematicus), soothsayer (haruspex), or anointer (aliptes).  Moreover, in
the middle of the second century, Vettius Valens, in his astrological work,
Anthologiae (2.28,29), refers to Abraham as a most wonderful astrological
authority.  Furthermore, Abraham's skill in astrology is mentioned no fewer
than four times in Julius Firmicus Maternus' fourth century astrological treatise,
the Matheseos (4: Proemium 5, 17.2, 17.5, and 18.1).  Firmicus' contemporary
Julian (Against the Galileans) remarks that Abraham employed the method
of divination from shooting stars and from the flight of birds.  Since, we may
remark, proselytes are regarded as children of Abraham, himself the first
proselyte, they would presumably identify with him as an astrologer."

Critical analysis of evidence discussed within these records shows some
historical validity of the existence of an Abraham, connected with knowledge
of planetary motions, practice of an internationally recognized religious priesthood,
as well as being a teacher and communicator through letters and writings. Secondary
evidence is thus provided for the statement given in the Book of Abraham,
translated from papyrus by Joseph Smith, Jr., from Chapter 1, Verse 31; namely:
"But the records of the fathers, even the patriarchs, concerning the right of Priesthood,
the Lord my God preserved in mine own hands; therefore a knowledge of the beginning
of the creation, and also of the planets, and of the stars, as they were made known unto
the fathers, have I kept even unto this day, and I shall endeavor to write some of these
things upon this record, for the benefit of my posterity that shall come after me."
The Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr., received Hebrew language education, by the instructions
of the erudite Jew, Joshua Seixas, whose family pedigree is listed and recorded
in the book: First American Jewish Families, by Rabbi Malcolm Henry Stern, FASG;
was the basis for: The Grandees_ America’s Sephardic Elite - Stephen Birmingham (pdf)

Additional secondary evidence is in the Grammar & Alphabet of the Egyptian Language,
in which Grammar, from the Joseph Smith, Jr. Papers. the ancient patriarchs are listed:
Phah eh         The first man, or Adam, coming from Adam -
                       Keys or right over Patriarchal right by appointment;
                       Also know as: Ba eth Ka - Adam or the first man, or first king
Ba eth Kee   The next from Adam, one ordained under him,
                       a patriarch or the right of the first born [Seth]
Ba eth Ki      The third patriarch: or right of the first born [Enos]
Ba eth Ko     The fourth patriarch from Adam the right of first born [Cainan]
Ba eth Ku     The fifth high priest from Adam [Mahalaleel]

Joseph Smith Translating Genesis - BYU Studies
[Research Note: Testimony of Willard Chase, Manchester, Ontario County, New York;
dated 1833, states "I became acquainted with the Smith family, known as the authors
of the Mormon Bible, in the year 1820. . . . In the year 1822, I was engaged in digging
a well. I employed Alvin and Joseph Smith to assist me; the latter of whom is now
known as the Mormon prophet. After digging about twenty feet below the surface
of the earth, we discovered a singularly appearing stone, which excited my curiosity.
I brought it to the top of the well, and as we were examining it, Joseph put it into his
hat, and then his face into the top of his hat. It has been said by Smith, That he brought
the stone from the well . . . " Seer Stones implies their use by seers. So, the very unusual
significance of this commentary, along with the testimony of William Purple, is location;
that "the stone was under the roots of a tree or shrub as large as his arm, situated
about a mile up a small stream that puts in on the South side of Lake Erie, not far
from the New York and Pennsylvania line"; as well as "two small ones on the beach
in Nauvoo . . . Joseph Said there is a stone for every person on the earth." We know
from the Book of Mormon that there was a complete conversion of the remnants left
in the Americas, after the appearance of Jesus Christ. These people would certainly
have been entitled to individual seer stones, as well as righteous Jaredites and later
righteous Nephites and Lamanites. Nevertheless, much of the Book of Mormon data,
may be buried deeper in the ground, under large overgrowth, and many feet down.]

[Research Note: What is known about the Adamic language? Answer: The pure Adamic
language, or the language of Adam and Eve, was the language in the Garden of Eden,
prior to the fall of Man, by the partaking of the forbidden fruit. It is attested to factually,
because Adam and Eve spoke directly with Jehovah, or Jesus Christ, in the said Garden.
It was a "pure" language because Adam and Eve were taught to speak it by the Creator.
The language of man became degraded, as man became more carnal, sensual, devilish,
and insensitive to the promptings of the Holy Ghost; globally divisive at the Tower of Babel.
The words spoken by man, since the beginning, are based upon physical characteristics
of the mouth itself. This is fairly clearly noted from the Egyptian Grammar and Alphabet;
showing a, e, i, o and u, as noted above. Characteristics designating the various sounds
may differ, but the verbal sounds are yet all the same, as the breath of life exits a mouth;
or those exiting the nasal cavity; or both. What are the different types of speech sounds?
So, it can be conclusively stated, that the restoration of the pure Adamic Language, is one
of concentration of positive verbal interactions coming from Zion, or those who are pure,
in their hearts; blessings, not cursing, or swear words, that divide feelings and emotions.
The closest English evaluation available in modern science are the words directly spoken
and extensively repeated to Joseph Smith, Jr., during Moroni’s Visit, in his home bedroom.
[While he was conversing with me about the plates, the vision was opened to my mind that
I could see the place where the plates were deposited, and that so clearly and distinctly
that I knew the place again when I visited it.] It is critically important to note Joseph stated
"He quoted many other passages of scripture, and offered many explanations which cannot
be mentioned here." / "The vision was opened to my mind that I could see the place where
the plates were deposited." Thus, a contextual interrelationship co-connective with a pure
Adamic Language, is direct revelatory experiences; or, seeing and hearing written data;
similar to Images presented in the writings of Mahonri Moriacumer; a Google™ Search.
Reading the words of the brother of Jared are similar to looking into a Urim and Thummim.
Isaiah 2:3.: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Hebrews 4: writings were mighty even unto the overpowering of man to read them, as
they pierce even unto the very eternal souls of all mankind. Note: Jared and His Brother.
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword,
piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow,
and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature
that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of
him with whom we have to do. Seeing then that we have a great High Priest, that is
passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. Again,
this Priesthood, which was in the beginning of the world, at its creation, and shall also
be restored in the end of the world; when Enoch and his City return in Terrestrial Glory;
having all power over all the elements by the words of Our Lord and Master Jesus Christ;
which glory was clearly manifest in all His miracles; the faith of the Messiah of the Jews.]

The Pearl of Great Price and Book of Abraham testify "the book of Abraham should
be evaluated on the basis of what it claims to be--Abraham's own account of his life."
The Deseret News, Salt Lake City, November 27, 1967, notes the finding of eleven
papyrus fragments, in the NYC Metropolitan Museum of Art.  The back of the papyri
were pasted down to paper with "drawings of a temple and maps of the Kirtland, Ohio
area."  An affidavit of Emma Smith stated that these papyri had been in the possession
of Joseph Smith, Jr.  According to this source, the Biblical creation story, the deluge,
"the records of the fathers, even the patriarchs," appear therefore as genealogical
primary source records, transcribed by Abraham from "preserved" and "kept" data,
handed down from generation to generation.  As noted by the History of the Church:,
Vol. 2, Ch. 16-17, pgs. 235-238, July 1835, Joseph Smith, Jr. determined that "one of the
rolls contained the writings of Abraham, another the writings of Joseph of Egypt"
and he "was continually engaged in translating an alphabet to the Book of Abraham,
and arranging a grammar of the Egyptian language as practiced by the ancients."
History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

From a genealogical research standpoint, "arranging a grammar of the Egyptian
language as practiced by the ancients", suggests that all the ancient patriarchs,
beginning with Adam, the Ancient of Days, were skilled in the art of record keeping.
This thought is further clarified in the Book of Moses, P of G P, Chapter 6, verses 5-9:
And a book of remembrance was kept, in the which was recorded, in the language
of Adam, for it was given unto as many as called upon God to write by the spirit of
inspiration;  And by them their children were taught to read and write, having a
language which was pure and undefiled.  Now this same Priesthood, which was
in the beginning, shall be in the end of the world also.  Now this prophecy Adam spake,
as he was moved upon by the Holy Ghost, and a genealogy was kept of the children
of God.  And this was the book of the generations of Adam, saying: In the day that God
created man, in the likeness of God made he him; In the image of his own body, male
and female, created he them, and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day
when they were created and became living souls in the land upon the footstool of God.

The KJV Bible, Old Testament record, also declares in Exodus, Chapter 24, verse 4:
"And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord, and rose up early in the morning, and
builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel."
In Chapter 5, verse 1-2 of Genesis, Moses recorded: "This is the book of the generations
of Adam.  In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; Male and
female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when
they were created."  The cross comparison of information shows a correct match of Biblical
Genesis, Chapter 5, verse 1, with the Pearl of Great Price, Book of Moses, Chapter 6,
verse 8.  Clearly, internal source evidence suggests primary source documents, or
copies thereof, going back to the time of Adam and (Eve - the Mother of all Living),
were available to Moses, who then wrote or copied them for himself and other Israelites.


GENEALOGIES: Genealogical Tables of the Sovereigns of the World,
from the earliest to the present period; exhibiting in each table their immediate
successors, collateral branches, and the duration of their respective reigns;
so constructed as to form a series of chronology; and including the genealogy
of many other personages and families distinguished in scared and profane history;
particularly all the nobility of these kingdoms descended from princes.
[The editor would have gladly quoted the various authorities which have assisted him
in the execution of his work, under the heads upon which they were consulted, if it
could have been done without crouding (sic) the Tables, and thereby depriving them
of their principal advantages--perspicuity, beauty, and uniformity. He must, therefore,
content himself with mentioning those to whom he is most indebted, which are,
The Bible, The Universal History, with many particular histories of different kingdoms,
the Classic authors, Anderson's Genealogies, Rollin, Sandford, Rapin, Guthrie, Collins,
Crawford, Lodge, and other Peerages. His chief guides in Chronology were Newton

  - SHEM: The Jerusalem Targum, and Jonathan ben Uziel in his Targum, and several
    other Jewish writers, suppose Melchizedek to be the same with Shem, the son of Noah;
    and this supposition has been ingeniously supported by the editors of Calmet's Dict.
    in their Enquiries and Discuss. Vol. III. . . . The Arabic version, in Gen. xiv. 18, renders
    . . . Malko Aladal, considering the word as an appellative rather than a Proper name.
    Probably the Arabic translator might be influenced by the customary name given to
    royalty in his country; for . . . many of the Mohammedan princes were, as a token of
    respect, distinguished by this appellation . . . Malck al Afdhal. It may not be improper
    here to observe, that the Salem above mentioned, was, most probably, Jerusalem,
    antiently (sic) known by the name of Salem--See Ps. lxxxvi. 2. And thus the writers
    of the Targums call Melchizedek . . . King of Jerusalem. . . . Porro Salem [read
    Melchizedek] rex Hierusalem dicitur, quae prius Salem appellabatur.

      . . . Abraham received the Priesthood from Melchesedec (sic) . . . and it was this
      same Melchizedek to whom Abraham paid tithes; yea, even our father Abraham
      paid tithes of one tenth part of all he possessed . . . [9] By this time, Melchizedek
      was already associated with the high priesthood in the theology articulated by JS.

      (the highest degree of heavenly glory) were "priests of the most high after the order

      as the ancient apostles were. [Research Note: Since the Patriarchal Priesthood
      was the former, and only Priesthood Order of the ancient Church of Jesus Christ,
      that was upon the earth, in the days of Abraham, then it is necessarily self evident
      that Melchizedek was one of the ancient ancestors of our Father Abraham.] . . .

      of this their faith increas'd, Till they with God spoke face to face:

      they have power given them to seal up the Saints unto eternal life."

    The articles gathered in this theme issue explore the dynamics of genealogy
    and merit in Jewish texts from the Hellenistic and Roman periods, in relation
    to individual family, and ethnic self-definitions, as well as individual and group
    strategies meant to establish legitimacy, prestige,
    or control over other segments of society.
* Royal Genealogies : Or, the Genealogical Tables of Emperors, Kings and Princes,
  From Adam to these Times. James Anderson (Freemason), D. D.
  PART I. Begins with a Chronological History of the World,
  from the Beginning of Time to the Christian Era, and then the Genealogies
  of the earliest great Families and most ancient Sovereigns of Alia, Europe,
  Africa and America, down to Charlemain, and many of 'em down to these Times.
  PART II.  Begins with the Grand Revolution of Charlemain, and carries on the Royal
  and Princely Genealogies of Europe down to these Times, concluding with those
  of the Britannic Isles. See a more particular Account in the Preface
  and in the Contents of the Tables. [Research Note: The Royal Genealogies
  by James Anderson can be best read by switching to view as plain text,
  using the "More actions menu" at the top left side of the front book page.
  Genealogical Tables: Tab. II., or Table Two (2), mention is made of Antediluvian
  Patriarchs, according to Profane History. It should be clearly noted from a Biblical
  perspective, that after the Tower of Babel, naming patterns were distorted globally,
  when the Language of Adam was lost, in its purity, except in peculiar cases; such
  as the Jaredites, the greatest nation upon the earth; until destroyed by internal, open
  civil warfare, waged across the length and breadth of the North American Continent.
  Table III. shows Chaldean Kings before the Flood, from Berosus. Table IV. mentions
  The Egyptians have also a Series of Kings, who, as they pretend, reigned before
  the Flood; and their Account begins the same Year with that of Berossus. The naming
  of the Gods, and Demigods, who are supposed to have reigned in Egypt, clearly do
  show the transliteration of God the Father, or Ahman, and Jesus Christ, also known
  as Son Ahman, into Hephsestion / Hephaestus, or Vulcan; as well as Helios, or the Sun.
  Ancient Patriarchs and their Priesthood powers were transmogrified into planetary
  designations; originally revealed by the words of Abraham, via Urim and Thummim.]
* The Plates within the Plates: Ether [Research Note: What was the faith of the Brother
  of Jared; also know as Mahonri Moriancumer? Answer: "And when the Lord had said
  these words, he showed unto the brother of Jared all the inhabitants of the earth which
  had been, and also all that would be; and he withheld them not from his sight, even
  unto the ends of the earth. For he had said unto him in times before, that if he would
  believe in him that he could show unto him all things--it should be shown unto him;
  therefore the Lord could not withhold anything from him, for he knew that the Lord
  could show him all things." . . . "They shall not go forth unto the Gentiles until the day
  that they shall repent of their iniquity, and become clean before the Lord. And in that
  day that they shall exercise faith in me, saith the Lord, even as the brother of Jared did,
  (also known as Mahonri Moriancumer), that they may become sanctified in me, then will
  I manifest unto them the things which the brother of Jared (Mahonri Moriancumer) saw,
  even to the unfolding unto them all my revelations, saith Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
  the Father of the heavens and of the earth, and all things that in them are."]

001:   GOD The ETERNAL FATHER: AHMAN (ELOHEIM - ELOHIM)

Family of God, the Eternal Father (Ahman):
God the Father
Marriages:  God, by definition, is a couple, or husband and wife (wives)
                    combination.  When the Father said He created Man; male
                    and female created He them, in His own image, it means:
                    My immortal wife and I created our children in the image
                    of ourselves.  Each and every person born on this earth has
                    a spirit body of contained intelligence: a spirit child of God.
                    Ahman, a glorified, immortal Man, in the Meridian of Time,
                    physically associated with the mortal Mary, who was over-
                    come by the Holy Ghost, becoming the literal physical and
                    spiritual Father of Jesus Christ, His Only Begotten Son.
                    The Eternal Father was married or priesthood sealed to
                    the exceedingly fair and white virgin Mary, mortal mother
                    of Jesus Christ, prior to her conception; "for that which
                    is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost".  Luke 1: 26-55
                    records the formal eternal betrothal, which was part of
                    ancient Mosaic legal and lawful wedding ceremony, as
                    announced by the angel Gabriel, who was formerly known
                    as Noah in mortality, recorded in the biblical Old Testament.
                    The angel Gabriel, or Noah, was the family head over Mary,
                    holding the keys of all living upon the face of the earth, the
                    highest patriarchal priesthood religious authority after Adam.
                    "Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed
                    art thou among women."  "The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee,
                    and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also
                    that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son
                    of God."  Consent by Mary to the terms of the contract: "Behold
                    the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word",
                    sealed the husband and wife relationship.  Joseph, a noted literal
                    descendant of King David, by the request of God, took intelligent
                    Mary to wife, becoming the mortal protective stepfather of Jesus Christ.

The Children of 001: God, the Eternal Father
001-001:   DIRECT DESCENDANT 002: (The Only Begotten Son)
                  SON AHMAN - JESUS CHRIST - The Old Testament God: JEHOVAH
                  Jesus Christ was the eldest born spirit child of GOD: The Eternal FATHER,
                  in the spirit Kingdom or pre-existence residence of the family of Man.
                  Jesus Christ is the Elder Brother of all mankind that will live on this earth.
001-002:   Billions of spirit children of Heavenly Father who refused to follow
                  Jesus Christ in the spirit Kingdom.  These non embodied spirits followed
                  Lucifer, or Satan, in the pre-existence and are numbered as one-third
                  of the the spirit children designated by Ahman to inhabit this earth.
001-003:   Billions of spirit children of Heavenly Father who have been born,
                  are now living, or will ever be born upon this earth.  Sufficiently true
                  and faithful to God in the pre-existence Kingdom, these spirits obtained
                  the right of receiving mortal bodies, in an earthly probationary state.
                  [Research Note: 20 Surprising Things We Know About Angels - LDS Living.
                  This article notes that Angels are the offspring of God, with some angels
                  being Gods in fact; and that Adam, or Michael, the Archangel, obtained
                  the First Presidency. Joseph Smith, Jr. also obtained the First Presidency
                  in the pre-existence Kingdom, and was ordained there to the priesthood
                  office of presiding First President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-
                  day Saints, for the last dispensation of the fullness of times. The Holy Ghost
                  is a ministering spirit with superhuman capabilities, who also has obtained
                  the First Presidency, in the pre-existence Kingdom. Within the eternal decrees
                  of the laws of the Universe, it has been mandated, that "there are no angels
                  who minister to this earth but those who do belong or have belonged to it".
                  Therefore, it is self evident, that the Holy Ghost will be born upon this earth,
                  in its future terrestrial state, as the literal seed of His Majesty Jesus Christ. He,
                  King of Kings and Lord of Lords: The Messiah; raising up His son King David;
                  as the Holy Ghost will reign as servant Prince in the Royal House of Jehovah.
                  For the children of Israel shall return, and seek the LORD their God, and David
                  their King; and shall fear the LORD and His goodness in latter (Millennial) days.
                  The Holy Ghost cannot be born on this earth until Satan is completely bound.
                  Hosea 3:5 KJV: Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD
                  their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness
                  in the latter days.]
001-004:   An innumerable, incalculable, countless, immeasurable by man,
                  forever infinitely increasing number of spirit children of Heavenly Father,
                  residing on millions of earths like this, (or, on earths glorified to a celestial,
                  terrestrial or telestial post mortal state); or in the spirit world residence of
                  Heavenly Father, awaiting their time to come to future probationary earths.
                  [Celestial Kingdom - Terrestrial Kingdom - Telestial Kingdom]
                  Moses 1: 37-39  And the Lord God spake unto Moses, saying: The heavens,
                 they are many, and they cannot be numbered unto man; but they are numbered
                 unto me, for they are mine.  And as one earth shall pass away, and the heavens
                 thereof even so shall another come; and there is no end to my works, neither
                 to my words.  For behold, this is my work and my glory--to bring to pass
                 the immortality and eternal life of man.
001-005:   Spirit children of Heavenly Father, who willfully deny the Holy Ghost testimony
                  of Jesus Christ: The Only Begotten Son of God; putting Him to an open shame.

The place where God resides is a great Urim and Thummim, a sea of glass and fire.
To the Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr. the Lord revealed, "And there are many kingdoms;
for there is no space in the which there is no kingdom. . . . And unto every kingdom
is given a law." (D&C 88: 37-38)  The Prophet Abraham wrote, "And I, Abraham,
had the Urim and Thummim, which the Lord my God had given me. . . ."

"And I saw the stars, that they were very great, and that one of them was nearest
unto the throne of God; . . ."

"And the name of the great one is Kolob, because it is near unto me … ; I have set
this one to govern all those which belong to the same order as that upon which thou
standest." (Abraham 3: 1-3)
"Kolob in the first degree. It signifies the first great grand governing
fixed star which is the fartherest that ever has been discovered by the fathers
which was discovered by Methusela and also by Abraham." Therefore, Methuselah
is the earliest identified ancient Patriarch that possessed the Urim and Thummim.

thy bosom is there; and also thou art just; thou art merciful and kind forever;
And thou hast taken Zion to thine own bosom, from all thy creations, from

time period: Mormon Cosmology
Kolob was after the manner of the Lord, according to its times and seasons
in the revolutions thereof; that one revolution was a day unto the Lord, after
his manner of reckoning, it being one thousand years according to the time
appointed unto that whereon thou standest (Earth).  This is the reckoning
of the Lord’s time, according to the reckoning of Kolob.  The chronology of
this earth is related to the chronology of Kolob, the name of a celestial
planet next to the residence of God.  D&C 88: 36-45  And there are many
kingdoms; for there is no space in the which there is no kingdom; and
there is no kingdom in which there is no space, either a greater or a lesser
kingdom. . . . And again, verily I say unto you, he hath given a law unto
all things, by which they move in their times and their seasons; And their
courses are fixed, even the courses of the heavens and the earth, which
comprehend the earth and all the planets.  And they give light to each
other in their times and in their seasons, in their minutes, in their hours,
in their days, in their weeks, in their months, in their years . . . The earth
rolls upon her wings, and the sun giveth his light by day, and the moon
giveth her light by night, and the stars also give their light, as they roll
upon their wings in their glory, in the midst of the power of God.

Jah-oh-eh is the earth under the governing power of Oliblish, Enish-go-
on-dosh, and Ka[i/e/ii]-e-van-rash, which are the grand Key or in other
words, the governing power, which governs the fifteen fixed stars . . .
Oliblish, Enish-go-on-dosh, and Kaii-ven-rash, are the three grand
central powers [similar to the First Presidency] that govern all of the
other creations, which have been sought out by the most aged of all
the fathers, since the beginning of the creation, by means of the Urim
and Thummim.  The names of the other twelve fixed stars [similar to
the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles] are: Kolob (which is swifter in
its motion than the rest of the twelve fixed stars, being first in motion
and delegated to have power over others [similar to the President of
the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles] in regulation of their time, [through
the medium of Kli-flos-is-es and Hah-ko-kau-beam {similar in order

B.  The Being and Kind of Being God Is: The King Follett Discourse
     President Joseph Smith, Jr. delivered a discourse before about twenty thousand
     Saints at the April conference of the Church, 1844, at the funeral sermon of Elder
     King Follett.  He said: "God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man,
     and sits enthroned in yonder heavens!  That is the great secret.  If the veil were rent
     today, and the great God who holds this world in its orbit, and who upholds all worlds
     and all things by his power, was to make himself visible,—I say, if you were to see him
     today, you would see him like a man in form—like yourselves in all the person, image,
     and very form as a man; for Adam was created in the very fashion, image and likeness
     of God, and received instruction from, and walked, talked and conversed with him,
     as one man talks and communes with another. . . . It is the first principle of the Gospel
     to know for a certainty the Character of God, and to know that we may converse with
     him as one man converses with another, and that he was once a man like us; yea, that
     God himself, the Father of us all, dwelt on an earth, the same as Jesus Christ himself
     did; and I will show it from the Bible." [Research Note: Of all of the statements made
     by the Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr., the first principle of the Gospel is the most important.
     Jesus Christ was not always Jesus Christ; neither was God the Eternal Father, always
     God, the Eternal Father. These are Offices in the Priesthood that confer Authority to act.
     The Everlasting Priesthood, as declared by the voice of Peter, James, and John, (which
     is significant in itself, as declaring themselves, indicates all three testified at this time,
     together), as possessing the keys of the kingdom, and of the dispensation of the fulness
     of times! As further clarified, "The Priesthood is an everlasting principle, and existed
     with God from eternity, and will to eternity, without beginning of days or end of years."
     It is further stated that "The Priesthood is everlasting----without beginning of days or
     or end of years; without father, mother, etc." In other words, the Priesthood does not
     have a biological component, and is not hereditary; and cannot therefore be subject
     to any evolutionary process, as it is a self existent Principle of all the Universal matter.
     Keys of the Priesthood have always existed from Eternity to Eternity; they are called
     the Keys of the Universe; all attributes of the Priesthood have existed for all eternity.
     The Keys of the Universe are the powers to act in the capacity and authority as God.
     The Holy Scriptures are replete with examples of Jesus Christ speaking, as if He is
     God the Eternal Father; which right He has as the Only Begotten and Beloved Son.
     “The First Principles of Man Are Self-Existent with God” | Religious Studies Center; it
     indicates the eternal truth that there has always been organized Intelligence, as part
     of our Universe. That being said, the concept of Big Bang physical theory is invalid,
     as there is no known, or knowable evolution of the observable Universe in existence.
     Intelligence, or the light of truth, was not created or made, neither indeed can be,
     additionally suggests that intelligence, or the light of truth cannot be unorganized.
     The Power undergirding all Organized Intelligence is Thought; and thoughts, or
     the power of mental exertion, or "faith", the power to believe, also cannot be lost,
     or destroyed, or annihilated. Thus the Glory of God is stated to be Light and Truth.
     Or, in other words, God the Eternal Father "speaks", or voices his opinions, that
     proceed forth out of his physical mouth into the immensity of the whole Universe,
     through the Light of Christ; which motivates actions, as performed by self existent
     elements, each responding according to the harmonies, within their own beings.
     This provides free agencies of actions. Big Bang theory suggests otherwise, or of
     portions of the Universe, manifested in religious philosophy as Black hole "hell";
     a cosmic body of extremely intense gravity from which nothing, not even any light,
     can escape; which does contradict falsely the Universal control of God the Father.
     The Atonement of Jesus Christ, in overcoming the extremely intense gravity forces
     acting upon Him, when Satan tried to enter His physical body, ended the death cycle.]

Nov 23 The Sealing Power -  The sealing power makes individual salvation and family
exaltation universally available to the children of God. [Research Note: This elucidated
sealing power is inseparably connected with the Church of the Firstborn. Celestial Saints
of God dwell in the Father's presence, become like Him, and receive all things from Him;
have part in the First Resurrection and will reign with Christ in the millennium; similar to
the Saints who were residents of Zion in the days of our great patriarchal father Enoch.
See: The Joseph Smith Papers: "firstborn" Search: Doctrine and Covenants 93; et cetera.
Jesus Christ presides over all the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God; thus,
faithful Saints will receive through Jesus Christ, the rights of inheritance of the Firstborn,
with Adam and Eve, and all their sealed posterity, within the Celestial Patriarchal Order.
Noah, who is Angel Gabriel, is next to Adam in priesthood, or the Patriarchal Priesthood,
as he was the father of all living is his day, and to him was given the dominion. And thus,
for Adam to retain his standing as head of the human family, under the Lord Jesus Christ,
various keys of the Priesthood held in this grand conference, in all dispensations of time,
by all successive church officer leaderships will be returned to Adam, through said Noah,
at Adam-ondi-Ahman. The Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr. actually saw men, before they had
ascended from the tomb, as though they were getting up slowly. They took each other
by the hand and said to each other, "My father, my son, my mother, my daughter,
my brother, my sister." This would require a Priesthood prerequisite of Patriarchal
Order, reestablished upon the earth, as in the days of Noah, down to all offices of
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; before ushering in the Millennium;
and in The Parable of the Ten Virgins, gathering faithful, wise, prepared virgins.

It is very obvious, upon introspection, that the original spelling of A-w-m-e-n, with an "e",
being changed to Awman, and then later to Ahman; it implies definitional feeling sense
of Awe-man, or The Delightful Man; as Ah, by definition and meaning expresses delight.
In other words awe, to the righteous: His Glorious Countenance gives a Fullness of Joy;
as Joseph Smith, Jr. experienced a fullness of Joy when he saw both Father and Son:
"My soul was filled with love and for many days I could rejoice with great joy and the Lord
was with me" (1832). Ergo, Joseph had the Holy Ghost as his constant aid and companion.
Alexander Neibaur, Journal, 24 May 1844, extract, Page 23, notes Joseph Smith, Jr. "saw
a fire towards heaven came near & nearer | saw a personage in the fire light complexion |
blue eyes a piece of white cloth drawn over | his shoulders his right arm bear after a wile |
a other person came to the side of the first |" Liahona, October 1993, House of Revelation,
in subsection: Visions of the Father and the Son, in the Newel K. Whitney and Co. store, in
Kirtland, O., notes a sacred experience by Zebedee Coltrin: "a personage walked through
the room from east to west, and Joseph asked if we saw him. I saw him and suppose the
others did & Joseph answered that is Jesus, the Son of God, our elder brother. Afterward
Joseph told us to resume our former position in prayer (kneeling, with our hands uplifted)
which we did. Another person came through; he was surrounded as with a flame of fire .
. . The Prophet Joseph said this was the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. I saw Him" Also,
John Murdock stated: "I saw the form of a man, most lovely, the visage of his face was
sound and fair as the sun. His hair a bright silver grey, curled in most majestic form.
His eyes a keen penetrating blue, and the skin of his neck a most beautiful white
and he was covered from the neck to the feet with a loose garment, pure white,
whiter than any garment I have ever before seen. His countenance was most
penetrating, and yet most lovely. And while I was endeavoring to comprehend
the whole personage from head to feet it slipped from me, and the vision was
closed up. But it left on my mind the impression of love, for months, that I never
felt before to that degree" (John Murdock Journal, typescript, BYU archives, page 13.}
The firsthand Nephite witnesses of Christ had similar profound experiences of great joy
and rejoicing; and it seems self evident, after Joseph Smith, Jr., received a complete
forgiveness of all of his sins, that part of the many other things that Jesus Christ did say
to Joseph Smith, Jr., during his First Vision, was the Savior's invitation to Joseph, to feel
the wounds in the body of the Messiah; and being embraced fully by His personal Love.

Marriage:  John 20: 17-18  Jesus Christ asked Mary Magdalene to refrain
herself from attempting to touch or hold (chibuk) Him, at that time.   Jesus
had not yet ascended unto the Father.  Negiah, meaning "contact" or
"connection" or "touch" in Hebrew, is a notion in Jewish law (Halakha)
that restricts (or forbids) physical contact with, or touching of, a member
of the opposite sex, except for one's spouse, and immediate family.   Also,
when Mary Magdalene was asked by Jesus to speak to the brethren:
"I ascend unto my Father . . . ", women needed a husband's authorized
permission, to leave home, or to legally testify in family related matters.

A.  Bible - John 14: 9
     Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you,
     and yet hast thou not known me, Philip?  He that hath seen me hath seen the Father;
     and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

B.  Doctrine and Covenants 110: 1-10
     . . .
     "We saw the Lord standing upon the breastwork of the pulpit, before us; and under
     his feet was a paved work of pure gold, in color like amber. His eyes were as a flame
     of fire; the hair of his head was white like the pure snow; his countenance shone above
     the brightness of the sun; and his voice was as the sound of the rushing of great waters,
     even the voice of Jehovah," . . .

C. World Ancestry - Roots In Antiquity
     . . .
     Jesus Christ was married, with the intent of biological posterity. The first commandment
     in the Garden of Eden, was to "Be Fruitful and Multiply". Thus it follows, indisputably,
     that Jesus Christ fulfilled this law, to enter the Highest Degree of the Celestial Kingdom.
     Behold Your Mother | Tim Challies mentions that [At the time Jesus hung on the cross,
     His siblings did not believe in Him. It stands to reason . . . that He would ask one of His
     followers to care for His mother. He selected John, his closest friend who is consistently
     referred to as "the disciple Jesus loved," to take on this responsibility.] Furthermore,
     Understanding the Biblical Role of Grandparents suggests some other considerations:
     [Specifically, the grandparent's role is to be a disciple-maker of future generations
     by focusing on salvation and sanctification of their family (Psalm 78 KJV:-7-8).] Thus,
     Jesus Christ was giving to John, his closest friend, not only the responsibility for His
     mother, whose Jewish husband was no longer available, (due to death, imprisonment,
     or other unspecified, complex issues); but also the upbringing of any possible young
     posterity that were residing within her family, under her jurisdiction. It should be very
     clearly noted that any posterity of Jesus Christ, in this time frame, would be fully subject
     to abject ridicule and mortification, isolation and rejection; they being living posterity
     of a publically dishonored, crucified individual, just displayed on the Cross, in His open
     shame, by both the Jewish nation at large, and even many of His own former followers;
     also most of the Roman military personnel who violated His person, and other regional
     authorities. John would of necessity, been required to keep relatives in total isolation
     and secrecy. Also noted is the fact that Mary Magdalene's testimony was questioned
     by His own disciples; indicating that she was an obvious controversial historical person,
     with her own baggage background, including serious medical and physical disabilities.
     John 6 mentions Judas Iscariot, genealogically, as the son of Simon. Matthew 8 states
     Jesus Christ had power to heal the leper. Luke 17 mentions ten lepers that were healed;
     And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice
     glorified God, And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks; and he was also a
     Samaritan. Judas Iscariot was in Bethany, in the guest house of Simon the leper, where
     Jesus Christ sat at meat. Simon the leper could not have offered this service to the Lord,
     unless he had been healed from his affliction; otherwise he would have been an outcast.
     Jesus Christ washed the feet of His apostles, even as Christ had His feet kindly washed.
     The Alabaster box, with expensive oil of spikenard, used by a woman who was a sinner,
     in that city, would have come into her possession, obviously by her former indiscretions.
     This historical recording attests that Pharisee Simon the leper was an ungrateful person;
     that He did not return back and glorify God, but was most unforgiving, or mean spirited.
     "I, the Lord, will forgive whom I will forgive, but Of You It Is Required to Forgive all men."
     Emotionally, mentally, physiologically, Judas Iscariot was the son of Simon the Leper.
     The Master's exceedingly offensive and humiliating public chastisement of Simon, in his
     own house, presented apostate Judas with a friendly "kiss of death" betrayal motivation.

sealing power is inseparably connected with the Church of the Firstborn. Celestial Saints
of God dwell in the Father's presence, become like Him, and receive all things from Him;
have part in the First Resurrection and will reign with Christ in the millennium; similar to
the Saints who were residents of Zion in the days of our great patriarchal father Enoch.
See: The Joseph Smith Papers: "firstborn" Search: Doctrine and Covenants 93; et cetera.
Jesus Christ presides over all the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God; thus,
faithful Saints will receive through Jesus Christ, the rights of inheritance of the Firstborn,
with Adam and Eve, and all their sealed posterity, within the Celestial Patriarchal Order.
Noah, who is Angel Gabriel, is next to Adam in priesthood, or the Patriarchal Priesthood,
as he was the father of all living is his day, and to him was given the dominion. And thus,
for Adam to retain his standing as head of the human family, under the Lord Jesus Christ,
various keys of the Priesthood held in this grand conference, in all dispensations of time,
by all successive church officer leaderships will be returned to Adam, through said Noah,
at Adam-ondi-Ahman. The Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr. actually saw men, before they had
ascended from the tomb, as though they were getting up slowly. They took each other
by the hand and said to each other, "My father, my son, my mother, my daughter,
my brother, my sister." This would require a Priesthood prerequisite of Patriarchal
Order, reestablished upon the earth, as in the days of Noah, down to all offices of
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; before ushering in the Millennium;
and in The Parable of the Ten Virgins, gathering faithful, wise, prepared virgins.

It is very obvious, upon introspection, that the original spelling of A-w-m-e-n, with an "e",
being changed to Awman, and then later to Ahman; it implies definitional feeling sense
of Awe-man, or The Delightful Man; as Ah, by definition and meaning expresses delight.
In other words awe, to the righteous: His Glorious Countenance gives a Fullness of Joy;
as Joseph Smith, Jr. experienced a fullness of Joy when he saw both Father and Son:
"My soul was filled with love and for many days I could rejoice with great joy and the Lord
was with me" (1832). Ergo, Joseph had the Holy Ghost as his constant aid and companion.
Alexander Neibaur, Journal, 24 May 1844, extract, Page 23, notes Joseph Smith, Jr. "saw
a fire towards heaven came near & nearer | saw a personage in the fire light complexion |
blue eyes a piece of white cloth drawn over | his shoulders his right arm bear after a wile |
a other person came to the side of the first |" Liahona, October 1993, House of Revelation,
in subsection: Visions of the Father and the Son, in the Newel K. Whitney and Co. store, in
Kirtland, O., notes a sacred experience by Zebedee Coltrin: "a personage walked through
the room from east to west, and Joseph asked if we saw him. I saw him and suppose the
others did & Joseph answered that is Jesus, the Son of God, our elder brother. Afterward
Joseph told us to resume our former position in prayer (kneeling, with our hands uplifted)
which we did. Another person came through; he was surrounded as with a flame of fire .
. . The Prophet Joseph said this was the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. I saw Him" Also,
John Murdock stated: "I saw the form of a man, most lovely, the visage of his face was
sound and fair as the sun. His hair a bright silver grey, curled in most majestic form.
His eyes a keen penetrating blue, and the skin of his neck a most beautiful white
and he was covered from the neck to the feet with a loose garment, pure white,
whiter than any garment I have ever before seen. His countenance was most
penetrating, and yet most lovely. And while I was endeavoring to comprehend
the whole personage from head to feet it slipped from me, and the vision was
closed up. But it left on my mind the impression of love, for months, that I never
felt before to that degree" (John Murdock Journal, typescript, BYU archives, page 13.}
The firsthand Nephite witnesses of Christ had similar profound experiences of great joy
and rejoicing; and it seems self evident, after Joseph Smith, Jr., received a complete
forgiveness of all of his sins, that part of the many other things that Jesus Christ did say
to Joseph Smith, Jr., during his First Vision, was the Savior's invitation to Joseph, to feel
the wounds in the body of the Messiah; and being embraced fully by His personal Love.

003:   ADAM: A SONS AHMAN (son of JESUS CHRIST by priesthood ordinance).
          Adam, being sealed to Christ as His adopted son, becomes thereby,
          a fully established prophet, priest and king; an eternal god in his own
          right and standing.  He exercises the fullness of the patriarchal priesthood.
          Adam possesses the keys of the Universe and rules over his posterity
          and the planet Earth, throughout all eternity.  [Adam holds the keys of
          the dispensation of the fullness of times; i.e., the dispensation of all the
          times have been and will be revealed through him from the beginning
          to Christ, and from Christ to the end of the dispensations that are to be
          revealed.  Chapter 8: The Everlasting Priesthood]

          Official calling to LDS office of church patriarch, within Hyrum Smith's
          family lineage, who was the brother of Joseph Smith, Jr., created by
          revelation, restoration in Melchizedek priesthood authority of the legal
          independent final word: High Priest Patriarchal Judge.   Equivalent in
          American government, to the Supreme Court of the United States of
          America.  It judicially stands next to the LDS First Presidency, as the
          Supreme Court stands next to the Presidency of the United States of
          America.  The Melchizedek priesthood Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
          and the First Quorum of Seventy, preside in similar manner as the
          American national  legislative bodies, the United States Senate and
          House of Representatives.  Foundations of government were divinely
          established in the Charters of Freedom of the United States of America.
          All seers are entitled by right of their calling and office, to have direct
          access to the Urim and Thummim.  In the case of former Church Patriarch
          Emeritus, the rightful heir of Hyrum Smith was Eldred G. Smith.  He was
          the last remaining vestige of authority, like a removed appendix from the
          body of Christ, to validate through direct revelation, celestial genealogies.
          Deceased 04 Apr 2013.  For what doth it profit a man if a gift is bestowed
          upon him, and he receive not the gift?  Behold, he rejoices not in that
          which is given unto him, neither rejoices in him who is the giver of the gift.

          D&C 107: 56-57  And Adam stood up in the midst of the congregation; and,
          notwithstanding he was bowed down with age, being full of the Holy Ghost,
          predicted whatsoever should befall his posterity unto the latest generation.
          These things were all written in the book of Enoch, and are to be testified
          of in due time.  Adam and all of his righteous posterity were required to
          wait until the resurrection of Jesus Christ before receiving their own bodies;
          additionally, "their resurrection cometh to pass before the resurrection of those
          who die after the resurrection of Christ", according to the Book of Mormon
          prophet Alma Alma 40: 19.

          By the time of the end of the millennium, all of Adam's posterity who accept
          the gospel must be sealed together as one family by the power of the priesthood,
          which is the power to seal on earth, and it shall be sealed in heaven, and to bind
          on earth, and it shall be bound in heaven.
          (Eldred G. Smith)

          D&C 128: 17-18  It is sufficient to know, in this case, that the earth will be smitten
          with a curse unless there is a welding link of some kind or other between the
          fathers and the children, upon some subject or other—and behold what is that
          subject?  It is the baptism for the dead.  For we without them cannot be made
          perfect; neither can they without us be made perfect.  Neither can they nor we
          be made perfect without those who have died in the gospel also; for it is necessary
          in the ushering in of the dispensation of the fulness of times, which dispensation
          is now beginning to usher in, that a whole and complete and perfect union, and
          welding together of dispensations, and keys, and powers, and glories should take
          place, and be revealed from the days of Adam even to the present time.  And not
          only this, but those things which never have been revealed from the foundation
          of the world, but have been kept hid from the wise and prudent, shall be revealed
          unto babes and sucklings in this, the dispensation of the fulness of times.

          Moses 3: 20  And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air,
          and to every beast of the field.  Adam was taught by God to read and write.
          Adam and Eve were exceedingly intelligent, both before and after the Fall.

          No lesson is more manifest in nature than that all living things do as
          the Lord commanded in the Creation.  They reproduce "after their own kind."
          (See: Moses 2: 12, 24)  They follow the pattern of their parentage.  Everyone
          knows that; every four-year-old knows that!  A bird will not become an animal
          nor a fish.  A mammal will not beget reptiles, nor "do men gather … figs of thistles."
          (Matthew 7: 16)

          In the countless billions of opportunities in the reproduction of living things, one
          kind does not beget another.  If a species ever does cross, the offspring cannot
          reproduce.  The pattern for all life is the pattern of the parentage.

          This is demonstrated in so many obvious ways, even an ordinary mind should
          understand it.  Surely no one with reverence for God could believe that His children
          evolved from slime or from reptiles.  (Although one can easily imagine that those
          who accept the theory of evolution don't show much enthusiasm for genealogical
          research!)  The theory of evolution, and it is a theory, will have an entirely different
          dimension when the workings of God in creation are fully revealed.
          (Boyd K. Packer)

Family of Adam (a Sons Ahman):
Adam (Genesis - Inspired Version) / Adam (Adam) / Adam
Marriage:
"And I, God said unto mine Only Begotten, which was with me from the beginning:
Let us make man [not a separate man, but a complete man, which is husband and wife]
in our image, after our likeness; and it was so." (Moses 2: 26)  What a beautiful
partnership!  Adam and Eve were married for eternity by the Lord.  Such a marriage
extends beyond the grave.  All peoples should call for this kind of marriage.
(Spencer W. Kimball)

Adam said: “Blessed be the name of God, for because of my transgression my eyes
are opened, and in this life I shall have joy, and again in the flesh I shall see God”
(Moses 5: 10). And Eve, his wife, heard all these things and was glad, saying:
Were it not for our transgression we never should have had seed,
and never should have known good and evil, and the joy of our redemption,
and the eternal life which God giveth unto all the obedient (Moses 5: 11).

D&C 132: 38  David also received many wives and concubines, and also Solomon
and Moses my servants, as also many others of my servants, from the beginning
of Creation until this time; and in nothing did they sin save in those things which they
received not of me. [Research Note: This reference from God specifically implies that
Adam, who was at the beginning of Creation, received many wives and concubines,
which would have been given to Adam, by Eve; from some of their female posterity.
This would be consistent with Mary, the Mother of Jesus Christ; she also being a spirit
daughter of God, the Eternal Father; betrothed to God Ahman, by Angel Gabriel (Noah).
This would have directly involved the full consent of Heavenly Mother; as the only means
provided, whereby she could obtain a future return to an eternal association with all of her
righteous and glorified mortal children. Prophets have taught that our immortal, celestial,
heavenly parents work together in a united manner, for the total comprehensive salvation
of the human family; brought to fulfillment through the blood Atonement of Jesus Christ.]

Adamic Language
[Gilbert Burrington (author): Notes on Table I. (d); on page 1,
and continued on page 2, concerning the Sons--(d) Daughters (of Adam.)
Josephus, in his Jewish Ant. B. 1, c. ii. sect. 3, says, that Adam had many more
children than those recorded in sacred history; and Whiston, in his Note on this
passage, observes, that an old tradition says, that the number of Adam's children
were fifty-six; thirty-three sons, and twenty-three daughters. According to Cedrenus,
the number of Adam's sons was thirty-three, and of his daughters twenty-seven;
Syncellus also, Chronograph. p. 11, makes Adam's sons thirty-three, but his daughters
only twenty-three. D'Herbelot informs us, that the Eastern writers attribute two other
sons to Adam, besides the three mentioned in Scripture, Abdalhareth, the elder brother
of Cain, and Rocail, the younger brother of the patriarch Seth. See D'Herbelot's
Bibl. Orient V. Rocail; and Univer. Hist. Ant. part, Vol. i. p. 150, Note I. Edit. 8vo.
The Mohammedan authors, also say, that Adam had two daughters, the one
the twin-sister of Cain, or, as those writers call him, Cabil or Kabil; and the other
of Abel, or, as they express the name, Habil. Cain's twin-sister was called Aclima,
Aclimah, Aclimia, or Aclimiah, or, as Abulfaragius writes the name, Klimia. Eutychius,
and other Eastern christians call her Azrun, others, Azura, and others Calmana
and Calmanna. Abel's twin-sister (page 2) has the name of Lebudah given to her
by Mohammedan writers. Eutychius, and others call her Owain, which D'Herbelot,
with his accustomed inattention to accuracy in expressing proper names, writes
Ouain, Ovain, and Vain. By others this person is called Delborah, Decla, and Edocla.
See D'Herbelot's Bibl. Orient. V. Azrun, Cabil, Vain; Calmet's Dict. Art. Abel, Azura, Cain;
and Sale's Transl. Koran, Ch. v. Note n. The authour of the Book entitled The Small
Genesis, as quoted by Epiphanius Adv. Haer. B. i. p. 287, and by Syneellus in his
Chron. p. 2, says, that Adam had two daughters, Asua, Asuam, or Save, and Azura;
the former of whom was the wife of Cain, and the latter of Seth. The Reader, if he
please, may further consult on this subject J. Albert. Fabricius's Edit. of Cod. Pseudepigr.
Vet. Test. cap. XLIV., and to which the same authour refers in his Bibl. Graec. Tom. xiv.
(Volume 14) p. 152, where the names of Adam's daughters are given, with some variations
and additions. {Johann Albert Fabricius: Bibliotheca Graeca}]

geography (location): Adam-ondi-Ahman / Zion
Spring Hill, Daviess County, Missouri (USA) is named in scripture, by the Lord:
Adam-ondi-Ahman (Garden of Eden). The land where Adam dwelt was part
of the geographic area of the Garden of Eden; insomuch, that Adam and Eve
heard the voice of the Lord from the way toward the Garden of Eden, speaking
unto them. To Adam and Eve, it appears to have been a familiar, remembered
sacred spot, where they had previously had personal contact with God;
contiguous, neighboring, or adjacent to Spring Hill, Daviess County, MO (USA).
The Garden of Eden was located on what is now the North American continent.
D&C 117: 8  Is there not room enough on the mountains of Adam-ondi-Ahman,
and on the plains of Olaha Shinehah, or the land where Adam dwelt, suggests
a different geographical configuration for the North American land mass.
According to Genesis 2: 10-14, a river went out of Eden to water the garden;
and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. The name of
the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah,
where there is gold; And the gold of that land is good; there is bdellium
and the onyx stone. And the name of the second river is Gihon; the same
is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. And the name of the third
river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the
fourth river is Euphrates. The mountains of Adam-ondi-Ahman, by rainfall
or massive underground sources, brought forth a river that went out of the
Garden of Eden, to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and
became into four heads, within the unified confines of one worldwide land
mass area; being an apparent elevated area, central to the location of the
current State of Missouri, in the USA, North American Continent (A.D. 2023).

Valley of Adam-ondi-Ahman, reconstructed with connections to present day
gold mining and Pangaea, shows a pattern of finds from the United States,
flowing down through Middle and Central America, parallel South American
and African continental connections, to deposits within southern South Africa;
to India, Indonesia and Australia; also, tributary connections into northwest
United States, Canada, Alaska, to Russian Siberia and Middle East regions.
Biblical and other texts, suggest that the identification of regions by large
river systems, indicates ancient use of these waterways for transport and
travel (D&C 61). "Behold, I, the Lord, in the beginning blessed the waters;
but in the last days, by the mouth of my servant John, I cursed the waters.
Wherefore, the days will come that no flesh shall be safe upon the waters.
And it shall be said in days to come that none is able to go up to the land
of Zion upon the waters, but he that is upright in heart. And, as I, the Lord,
in the beginning cursed the land, even so in the last days have I blessed it,
in its time, for the use of my saints, that they may partake the fatness thereof."
The mention of gold and other precious metals gave sign posts to the posterity
of Adam, for determination of location in relation to various family migrations,
from the region of the first human homestead, situated near the garden of Eden.
And Adam and Eve, his wife, called upon the name of the Lord, and they heard
the voice of the Lord from the way toward the Garden of Eden, speaking unto
them, and they saw him not; for they were shut out from his presence. . . .
And from that time forth, the sons and daughters of Adam began to divide
two and two in the land, and to till the land, and to tend flocks, and they
also begat sons and daughters.

life:
Adam  Besides the Fall having had to do with Adam and Eve, causing a
change to come over them, that change affected all human nature, all of
the natural creations, all of the creation of animals, plants--all kinds of life
were changed. The earth itself became subject to death.
(Harold B. Lee)

The celestial environment in the Garden of Eden, including the celestial
bodies of Adam and Eve, had no "Radioactive Decay": the death process.
After the Fall, the vegetarian animals and some plants became carnivorous.

religion:
Moses 6: 64  And it came to pass, when the Lord had spoken with Adam, our
father, that Adam cried unto the Lord, and he was caught away by the Spirit
of the Lord, and was carried down into the water, and was laid under the water,
and was brought forth out of the water.  Adam had, prior to the Fall, helped to
make and organize this world, as Michael, the Archangel, in the spirit world, with
Jehovah and Eloheim.  He is the head patriarchal priesthood representative of
all mankind, under Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten of the Father, (through whom
the worlds are and were created, and the inhabitants thereof are begotten sons
and daughters unto God).  [Research Note:  When Adam and Eve were cast out of the
Garden of Eden, they became subject to physical death, as well as being spiritually
excommunicated from the presence of God.  They were given Temple garments
to wear, made of skins (the first biological animal deaths), to protect them from
the temporal elements, during this probationary excommunicated time period.
Adam and Eve fell into a temporal married status.  After Adam received some
restoration of his priesthood ordinances, he baptized his wife Eve.  Adam and Eve
were the first members of the (Church of the Firstborn - Section 5 1842-43, p.237;
Highest Order of Priesthood Revealed. . . Joseph Smith, Jr., spent the day in the upper
part of the store . . . in council . . . instructing them in the principles and order of the
Priesthood, attending to washings, anointings, endowments and the communication
of keys pertaining to the Aaronic Priesthood, and so on to the highest order of the
Melchizedek Priesthood, setting forth the order pertaining to the Ancient of Days,
and all those plans and principles by which any one is enabled to secure the fullness
of those blessing which have been prepared for the Church of the Firstborn, and come
up and abide in the presence of the Eloheim in the eternal worlds.), even Jesus Christ,
upon this earth.  Special priesthood ordinances were performed to restore the Eternal
Marriage Covenant, received from Jehovah in the Garden of Eden, prior to the fall.]
D&C 107: 53   Adam was the presiding High Priest D&C 107: 3 in the Holy Priesthood,
after the Order of the Son of God.  After his death, the Ancient of Days, entered into
paradise, waiting there for thousands of years, looking forward to the resurrection
of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Master.  Adam and Eve, with their righteous posterity,
were gathered together when Christ died; an innumerable company of just spirits,
those who had been faithful in the testimony of Jesus while they lived in mortality.
These dead individuals had looked upon the long absence of their spirits from their
bodies as a bondage.  The Lord Jesus Christ taught them, and gave them power to
come forth, after His resurrection from the dead, to enter into His Father’s kingdom,
there to receive mansions on high, and be crowned with immortality and eternal life.
Jesus Christ freely gave His life in pure charity.  He manifested appreciation and true
reciprocation for the physical body He obtained from Mary, through the lineage
of Adam, which granted the Messiah the opportunity to be exalted to Eternal Lives;
providing also, the means by which all mankind might be saved, through repentance
and perfect obedience to the fullness of the ordinances of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

time period: 4000 B.C. to 3070 B.C.
Adam was 130 years old when Seth was born (Gen. 5:3).  And the days of Adam,
after he had begotten Seth, were 800 years, making him 930 years old when he
died (Gen. 5:4-5).  Lamech, the 9th from Adam, and the father of Noah, was 56
years old when Adam died; Methuselah, 243; Enoch, 308; Jared, 470;
Mahalaleel, 535; Cainan, 605; Enos, 695; and Seth, 800.  So that Lamech
(the father of Noah), Methuselah, Enoch, Jared, Mahalaleel, Cainan, Enos,
Seth, and Adam, were all living at the same time, and beyond all controversy
were all preachers of righteousness.

     Q. What are we to understand by the book which John saw, which was sealed
          on the back with seven seals?
          - A. We are to understand that it contains the revealed will, mysteries,
                and the works of God; the hidden things of his economy concerning this earth
                during the seven thousand years of its continuance, or its temporal existence.
     Q. What are we to understand by the seven seals with which it was sealed?
          - A. We are to understand that the first seal contains the things of the first
                thousand years, and the second also of the second thousand years,
                and so on until the seventh.
     Q. What are we to understand by the sounding of the trumpets, mentioned
          in the 8th chapter of Revelation?
          - A. We are to understand that as God made the world in six days, and on
                the seventh day he finished his work, and sanctified it, and also formed man
                out of the dust of the earth, even so, in the beginning of the seventh thousand
                years will the Lord God sanctify the earth, and complete the salvation of man,
                and judge all things, and shall redeem all things, except that which he hath not
                put into his power, when he shall have sealed all things, unto the end of all things;
                and the sounding of the trumpets of the seven angels are the preparing
                and finishing of his work, in the beginning of the seventh thousand years—
                the preparing of the way before the time of his coming.

I.   Eleazar ben Asher ha-Levi — Brill, was a Medieval collector of ancient record
     sources, "who lived somewhere in the Rhine Provinces at the end of the
     thirteenth and the beginning of the fourteenth century."  Moses Gaster, Ph.D.,
     translated the first part of this Bodleian Library (Oxford) ms., titled:
     Sefer (Sepher) ha-zikhronot (Sefer ha-Zikhronot)  There are minute descriptions
     of the descendants of Noah and the records state exactly how many children
     each of the Patriarchs had, beginning with Adam and Eve, including names
     of the wives of each of the Biblical personages.  "(1) Adam begat three sons
     and three daughters, Cain and his twin wife Qalmana, Abel and his twin wife
     Deborah, and Seth and his twin wife Nōba. (2) And Adam, after he had begotten
     Seth, lived 700 years, and there were eleven sons and eight daughters born to him.
     These are the names of his sons: ‘Eli, Shēēl, Ṣurēi, ‘Almiel, Berokh, Ke‘al, Naḥath,
     Zarḥamah, Ṣisha, Māḥtel, and ‘Anat (###); and the names of his daughters are:
     Ḥavah, Giṭsh, Harē, Bikha, Zifath, Hēkhiah, Shaba, and ‘Azin.  Listed out of order:
     (11) Cain and his wife Temed dwelt in the land of Nod. And Cain knew his wife
     Tēmēd when he was fifteen years old, and she bore him Enoch, and he built seven
     cities and called the first Enoch, after the name of his son. (The names of the remaining
     six were): Maōlē, Lēed, Gēzeh, Yeshbah, Qeled, and Yēbab. (12) And after Enoch, Cain
     begat three sons, Ulaf, Lēzef, and Fuzal, and two daughters, Ṣēṭa and Maḥat. (13) And
     Enoch took Nība, the daughter of Shem, to wife, & she bore him Zēra, Qu‘ith, & Maddaf.
     And Zera begat Methushael, and Methushael, Lemech. (14) And Lemech took two wives.
     Ada bore Jabal, the father of all those who dwell in tents, and Jubal, the father of all who
     play upon the harp and the reed-pipe. (15) Then the inhabitants of the land began to
     commit violence and to defile the wives of their neighbours, thus kindling the anger
     of the Lord. And they then began to play upon the harp and the reed-pipe, and to sport
     with every kind of song, corrupting the earth. This same Jubal discovered the science
     of music, whence arose all the melodies for the two above-named instruments. This is
     a great science, as I have explained in its proper place (above). (16) And it came to pass,
     when Jubal heard the prophecy of Adam concerning the two judgments about to come
     upon the world by means of the flood, the dispersion and fire, that he wrote down the
     science of music upon two pillars, one of fine white marble and the other of brick, so
     that in the event of the one melting and being destroyed by the waters, the other would
     be saved. (17) And Sillah bore Tubal Cain, who used to sharpen all instruments of iron
     for war, and worked in all manner of iron. He also invented the art of alloying lead and
     iron together, so as to temper the iron and to make the blade sharper. He also invented
     the pincers, the hammer, and the axe, and all instruments of iron. (18) The sister of Tubal
     Cain was Na‘amah. It was she who invented the art of weaving and sewing silk, wool,
     and flax, and the whole art of the fancy-worker and the weaver. Ṣillah also bore Miza
     and Tipa. Tubal was a worker in tin, lead, iron, copper, silver, and gold. Then men began
     to make graven images for their worship. (19) ‘Adah also bore Jabal, who was the father
     of those who dwell in tents and attend to the flock. He discovered the work appertaining
     to shepherds, and made tents and pens for the cattle, one for the sheep and another for
     the oxen, distinct from each other. He also invented the locks, as a safeguard to prevent
     robbers entering the house, like this, χ. (20) In the time of Enosh men were called
     princes, judges, and made gods, applying to them the name of God; and temples
     were made for them, but they were overthrown in the time of Re‘u.  Compare:
     Genesis 4: 16-24.  And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt
     in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. [which according to modern revelation,
     would be located east of Daviess County, Missouri.]  And Cain knew his wife;
     and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, & called  the name
     of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.  And unto Enoch was born Irad:
     and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
     And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name
     of the other Zillah. And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents,
     and of such as have cattle. And his brother’s name was Jubal: he was the father
     of all such as handle the harp and organ. And Zillah, she also bare Tubal-cain,
     an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain
     was Naamah. . . .  Note: Cain apparently married two women, his twin wife
     Qalmana and his wife Temed,  Also, Cain's descendant Lamech took unto him
     two wives, Adah and Zillah.  This shows polygamy as the normal practice for
     the patriarchal unit of man, D&C 132: 38, beginning with Adam.
     [Gilbert Burrington (author): Notes on Table I. (k); on page 5, i. Lamech.
     The Hebrew Masoretically-pointed text reads Lemech, and thus our English translators
     in the Marg. Gen. iv. 18. Josephus, in his Jewish Ant. B. i. c. ii. sect. 2, says that Lamech
     had seventy-seven children by his two wives Adah and Zillah.]

     (Red, One From The Soil, Beginning) Adam: meaning and etymology
     [Research Note: Doctrine and Covenants 107] states The Twelve (Apostles)
     are a Traveling Presiding High Council, to officiate in the name of the Lord,
     under the direction of the Presidency of the Church, agreeable to the institution
     of heaven; to build up the church, and regulate all the affairs of the same in all
     nations, first unto the Gentiles and secondly unto the Jews. . . . The Twelve being
     sent out, holding the keys, to open the door by the proclamation of the gospel of
     Jesus Christ, and first unto the Gentiles and then unto the Jews. . . . It is the duty
     of the Twelve, in all large branches of the church, to ordain evangelical ministers,
     as they shall be designated unto them by revelation--   Adam was given the Keys
     of the Universe in the Garden of Eden, being endowed by the Word of Jesus Christ;
     to tend the Garden and take care of the earth and all forms of physical intelligence.
     When restored back to the favor of God, with his wife Eve; they jointly presided
     over all of their posterity, as an independent First Presidency, as King and Queen,
     with full authority as prophet and prophetess, priest and priestess, all one together.
     The priesthood order of evangelical ministers was confirmed by them, to be handed
     down from father to son, and rightly belongs to the literal descendants of the chosen
     seed, within their own posterity, the posterity of Adam and Eve, to whom the promises
     were made. This order was instituted in the days of Adam, and came down by lineage,
     when Adam ordained Seth (aged 69 years); when Adam ordained Enos (aged 134 years,
     and four months); when Adam ordained Cainan (aged 87 years); when Adam ordained
     and blessed Mahalaleel (aged 496 years); when Adam ordained  and blessed Jared
     (aged 200 years); when Adam ordained Enoch (aged 25 years) and blessed Enoch,
     (aged 65 years); when Adam ordained Methuselah (aged 100 years). Seth was further
     invested with this Priesthood, when Seth ordained Lamech (aged 32 years), and also
     Methuselah had the fullness of the Patriarchal Priesthood, when Methuselah ordained
     Noah (aged 10 years). Thus, the authority of the full Apostleship, was upon the earth,
     when three years previous to the death of Adam, he called Seth, (who was especially
     blessed by Adam three years previous to his: Ancient of Days Adam's, death); Enos,
     Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared, Enoch, and Methuselah, who were all just high priests,
     (having the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God), with the residue of his,
     Adam's posterity who were righteous, into the valley of Adam-ondi-Ahman, and there
     bestowed upon them his last blessing. And the Lord appeared unto them, and they
     rose up and blessed Adam, and called him Michael, the prince, the archangel.
     And the Lord (personally) administered comfort unto Adam, and said unto him:
     "I have set thee to be at the head; a multitude of nations shall come of thee,
     and thou art a prince over them forever." And Adam stood up in the midst
     of the congregation; and, notwithstanding he was bowed down with age,
     being full of the Holy Ghost, predicted whatsoever should befall his posterity
     unto the latest generation. These things were all written in the book of Enoch,
     (in the pure Adamic language), and are to be testified of in due time.

O.  Nov 23 October 2023 [General Conference]
Nov 23 The Sealing Power -  The sealing power makes individual salvation and family
exaltation universally available to the children of God. [Research Note: This elucidated
sealing power is inseparably connected with the Church of the Firstborn. Celestial Saints
of God dwell in the Father's presence, become like Him, and receive all things from Him;
have part in the First Resurrection and will reign with Christ in the millennium; similar to
the Saints who were residents of Zion in the days of our great patriarchal father Enoch.
See: The Joseph Smith Papers: "firstborn" Search: Doctrine and Covenants 93; et cetera.
Jesus Christ presides over all the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God; thus,
faithful Saints will receive through Jesus Christ, the rights of inheritance of the Firstborn,
with Adam and Eve, and all their sealed posterity, within the Celestial Patriarchal Order.
Noah, who is Angel Gabriel, is next to Adam in priesthood, or the Patriarchal Priesthood,
as he was the father of all living is his day, and to him was given the dominion. And thus,
for Adam to retain his standing as head of the human family, under the Lord Jesus Christ,
various keys of the Priesthood held in this grand conference, in all dispensations of time,
by all successive church officer leaderships will be returned to Adam, through said Noah,
at Adam-ondi-Ahman. The Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr. actually saw men, before they had
ascended from the tomb, as though they were getting up slowly. They took each other
by the hand and said to each other, "My father, my son, my mother, my daughter,
my brother, my sister." This would require a Priesthood prerequisite of Patriarchal
Order, reestablished upon the earth, as in the days of Noah, down to all offices of
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; before ushering in the Millennium;
and in The Parable of the Ten Virgins, gathering faithful, wise, prepared virgins.

It is very obvious, upon introspection, that the original spelling of A-w-m-e-n, with an "e",
being changed to Awman, and then later to Ahman; it implies definitional feeling sense
of Awe-man, or The Delightful Man; as Ah, by definition and meaning expresses delight.
In other words awe, to the righteous: His Glorious Countenance gives a Fullness of Joy;
as Joseph Smith, Jr. experienced a fullness of Joy when he saw both Father and Son:
"My soul was filled with love and for many days I could rejoice with great joy and the Lord
was with me" (1832). Ergo, Joseph had the Holy Ghost as his constant aid and companion.
Alexander Neibaur, Journal, 24 May 1844, extract, Page 23, notes Joseph Smith, Jr. "saw
a fire towards heaven came near & nearer | saw a personage in the fire light complexion |
blue eyes a piece of white cloth drawn over | his shoulders his right arm bear after a wile |
a other person came to the side of the first |" Liahona, October 1993, House of Revelation,
in subsection: Visions of the Father and the Son, in the Newel K. Whitney and Co. store, in
Kirtland, O., notes a sacred experience by Zebedee Coltrin: "a personage walked through
the room from east to west, and Joseph asked if we saw him. I saw him and suppose the
others did & Joseph answered that is Jesus, the Son of God, our elder brother. Afterward
Joseph told us to resume our former position in prayer (kneeling, with our hands uplifted)
which we did. Another person came through; he was surrounded as with a flame of fire .
. . The Prophet Joseph said this was the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. I saw Him" Also,
John Murdock stated: "I saw the form of a man, most lovely, the visage of his face was
sound and fair as the sun. His hair a bright silver grey, curled in most majestic form.
His eyes a keen penetrating blue, and the skin of his neck a most beautiful white
and he was covered from the neck to the feet with a loose garment, pure white,
whiter than any garment I have ever before seen. His countenance was most
penetrating, and yet most lovely. And while I was endeavoring to comprehend
the whole personage from head to feet it slipped from me, and the vision was
closed up. But it left on my mind the impression of love, for months, that I never
felt before to that degree" (John Murdock Journal, typescript, BYU archives, page 13.}
The firsthand Nephite witnesses of Christ had similar profound experiences of great joy
and rejoicing; and it seems self evident, after Joseph Smith, Jr., received a complete
forgiveness of all of his sins, that part of the many other things that Jesus Christ did say
to Joseph Smith, Jr., during his First Vision, was the Savior's invitation to Joseph, to feel
the wounds in the body of the Messiah; and being embraced fully by His personal Love.

life:
Jared [Research Note: Jaredites, The Brother of Jared Sees Jesus Christ;
mentioned, but not named Mahonri Moriancumer, in the Book of Mormon.
Jared is a Biblical name, as presented in this record; therefore indicating
the ancestry of Mahonri Moriancumer to stem back anciently to this Jared;
but also clearly suggesting that Ma-hon-ri  Mo-ri-an-cu-mer was distinctly
separate and apart in its construction: thus ancient Adamic language origins.
It appears on the surface observation, that the Adamic language regularly
placed vowels with various consonants, as part of basic speech pronunciation.
This would allow word emphasis to change according to verbal connectivity,
suggesting different word meanings coming from how sounds are expressed.
So, for example, there could be five (5) degrees of fellowship coming out of,
from the mouth, using the same written word, with subsets; dependent upon
the subject matter at hand, being discussed; of temporal, or spiritual issues; it
being then extrapolated upon by fingers and hand fives (5s); for full elucidation.
This also suggests added visual (deaf mute) methodology of body expression;
for all individual persons deaf and hard of hearing, or those unable to speak.
Note clearly that the angel Gabriel had the power to limit Zechariah's speech.]

D&C 107: 53  Enoch came out from the land of Cainan, the land of his fathers,
which was a land of righteousness in his day.   Enoch journeyed from the land
of Cainan, by the sea east.   Cainhannoch was a code name for "New York",
used during the time of persecution and hiding in early Church history.  Enoch
stood upon the place Mahujah and went to the mount Simeon.  From there,
Enoch beheld in the valley of Shum a great people which dwelt in tents, which
were the people of Shum.  Enoch looked towards the north of mount Simeon
and beheld the people of Canaan, which dwelt in tents.  Enoch saw the people
of Canaan in a land barren and unfruitful, cursed with much heat and perpetual
barrenness.  Enoch beheld the land of Sharon, and the land of Enoch, and the
land of Omner, and the land of Heni, and the land of Shem, and the land of Haner,
and the land of Hanannihah, and all of their inhabitants.  There was a land that
came up out of the depth of the sea, in the time of Enoch.  There were mountains
and high places in the time of Enoch.  Enoch built a city that was called the City
of Holiness, even ZION.  Enoch met with Adam's posterity at Adam-ondi-Ahman,
located in Missouri, USA, now part of the North American continent.

Enoch  Moses 7: 13  And so great was the faith of Enoch that he led the people
of God, and their enemies came to battle against them; and he spake the word
of the Lord, and the earth trembled, and the mountains fled, even according
to his command; and the rivers of water were turned out of their course; and
the roar of the lions was heard out of the wilderness; and all nations feared
greatly, so powerful was the word of Enoch, and so great was the power of
the language which God had given him.  There were giants of the land, during
the time of Enoch, and a curse went forth upon all people that fought against
God.  This appears as the initial time frame for the development and mutation
of dinosaurs and other distorted, abnormally deformed creatures, including
a blackness that came upon all of the children of Canaan.  Moses 7: 22  And
Enoch also beheld the residue of the people which were the sons of Adam;
and they were a mixture of all the seed of Adam save it was the seed of Cain,
for the seed of Cain were black, and had not place among them.  God cursed
the residue of the people during the time of the City of Enoch, and the power
of Satan was upon all the face of the earth, except for a few select righteous
posterity that survived until the time of Noah. [Gilbert Burrington (author):

righteousness unto the people of God.  And it came to pass in his days,
that he built a city that was called the City of Holiness, even ZION.
Moses 7: 21  And it came to pass that the Lord showed unto Enoch
all the inhabitants of the earth; and he beheld, and lo, Zion, in process
of time, was taken up into heaven.  And the Lord said unto Enoch:
Behold mine abode forever.  Moses 7: 69  And Enoch and all his people
walked with God, and he dwelt in the midst of Zion; and it came to pass
that Zion was not, for God received it up into his own bosom; and from
thence went forth the saying, ZION IS FLED.

The Children of 012: Noah
012-001:   DIRECT DESCENDANT (a son) 013: BOOK - Japheth (Japhetic),
                  who was born in 2494 B.C.; by whose posterity Genesis 10: 5
                  the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one
                  after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.  Sons
                  of Japheth were born after the Flood  Genesis 10: 1.  Peopling
                  of the world by Gentile descendants of Japheth, prior to the days
                  of Peleg, constituted inheritance of lands within Pangaea land
                  mass, after which physical upheavals of mountain ranges and
                  immediate continental drift, isolated "isles" of nations, within a
                  239 year time period, between 2253 B.C. to 2014 B.C.  Every one
                  after his tongue, after their families, in their nations, occurred
                  after Nimrod founded the beginning of the Kingdom of Babel,
                  circa 2300 B.C.  Shem, the son of Noah, the great high
                  priest, who lived from 2452 B.C. to 1852 B.C., appears to have kept
                  the record of these proceedings, later handed down to Abraham.
012-002:   DIRECT DESCENDANT (a son) 013: SHEM,
                  who was born in 2452 B.C.
012-003:   DIRECT DESCENDANT (a son) 013: BOOK - Ham (Hamites), head patriarchal
                  "Pharaoh", born 2444 B.C., was [Abraham 1: 23-26] the husband of Egyptus.
                  Sons of Ham and Egyptus were born after the Flood  Genesis 10: 1.
                  Their daughter, also named Egyptus, was the "Mother of the King":
                  Pharaoh, who began the Patriarchal Royalty of the Pharaohs living
                  in Egypt.  The worldwide Flood [2344 B.C.], wiped out all previous
                  settlements in the Nile valley.  The first stone ('Step Pyramid')
                  built in Egypt, is either the remains of a pre flood building; or,
                  a constructed pyramid, begun no earlier than the time of the first
                  Pharaoh, the grandson of Ham, circa 2300 B.C.  Egyptian Royalty
                  timelines of Ancient Egypt, as shown by The British Museum,
                  are extrapolated, disjointed and controversial reconstructions
                  of surviving Egyptian dynastic records, having no genealogical
                  credibility.  Ham was [Genesis 10: 6-10] also the father of Cush,
                  who begat Nimrod, the beginning of the Kingdom of Babel,
                  founded circa 2300 B.C.  Nimrod's tribal customs evolved into
                  city law (Code of Hammurabi) for the metropolis of Babylon.
                  The language taught by Noah to his posterity, was distorted
                  during the construction of the first Tower of Babel.  Secret signs,
                  developed to identify groups of individuals, (within the different
                  classes of workers having various levels of skills required in
                  building the complex structure), could have initiated confusion,
                  with disagreement and labor unrest concerning any unequal work
                  compensation.  God, by the withdrawal of His spirit, caused the
                  scattering of the posterity of Japheth.  The Book of Mormon,
                  (another testament of Jesus Christ), in Ether 1: 6-37, confirms
                  migration of families returning back to the Western Hemisphere:
                  Jared and his family, along with the family of his righteous brother
                  Mahonri Moriancumer; with some others and their families.
                  [Jared and his brother came on to this continent from the confusion
                  and scattering at the Tower, and lived here more than a thousand years,
                  and covered the whole continent from sea to sea, with towns and cities . . .
                  J. Smith, Jr.]  This occurred after the days of PELEG (time period:  2253 B.C.
                  to 2014 B.C.), in whose days the earth was divided (Genesis 10: 25).

What is incontrovertible, but not directly mentioned in the Bible, concerning all
servitude and slavery, is that it had nothing to do with the color of someone's skin.
Immediate reflection, upon the life of Cain, the first identified murderer, was that
he was born as a pure white baby boy. It was his heinous actions that brought him,
and all of his posterity, into servitude, under the laws of the Patriarchal Priesthood.
Ham brought his father Noah into a situation of open shame. Previously, he is noted
as an individual who was one of the very few worthy persons, to escape the flood;
for he was saved when he assisted in building an ark at the command of Jehovah.
And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods,
I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation,
I restore him fourfold. Doctrine and Covenants 98, verse 47-48: "But if the children
shall repent, or the children's children, and turn to the Lord their God, with all
their hearts and with all their might, mind, and strength, and restore fourfold (4)
for all their trespasses wherewith they have trespassed, or wherewith their fathers
have trespassed, or their fathers' fathers, then thine indignation shall be turned away;
And vengeance shall no more come upon them, saith the Lord thy God, and their
trespasses shall never be brought any more as a testimony before the Lord against
them. Amen. The quoted Church records do offer therefore, very clear, real insights,
into origins of practicing priesthood denial, by Patriarch Noah. Official Declaration 2.
The Jewish Encyclopedia clearly delineates, in the traditional SHEM commentaries;
he being born circumcised, or preordained before the foundations, or at the creation
of this world, "the great one"; that Noah's garment spoken of, that previously covered
his nakedness, related to those used in the offering of sacrifices: or, Temple Garments.
Ham was not only mocking Noah as his physical father; Ham mocked his God Jehovah;
as noted, "Noah gave to Shem the priestly garments which he had inherited from Adam".

Flood Legends from Around the World . . . "The Cornish Tynners
hold a strong imagination, that in the withdrawing of Noahs floud
to the Sea, the same took his course from East to West, violently
breaking vp, and forcibly carrying with it, the earth, trees, and
Rocks, which lay any thing loosely, neere the vpper face of the
ground.  To confirme the likelihood of which supposed truth, they
doe many times digge vp whole and huge Timber trees which they
conceiue at that deluge to haue beene ouerturned and whelmed:"
Ether 13: 2  Confirms as fact that the Flood was worldwide in scope.
From the Book of Mormon, after the waters had receded from off the
face of this land (North and South America), it became a choice land
above all other lands, a chosen land of the Lord; wherefore the Lord
would have that all men should serve him who dwell upon the face thereof.
In a wider sense all of North and South America are Zion (HC 6: 318-19).
Moses 7: 43  Wherefore Enoch saw that Noah built an ark; and that
the Lord smiled upon it, and held it in his own hand; but upon the residue
of the wicked the floods came and swallowed them up.  Nevertheless,
it should be noted, that since the original altar used by Adam to offer
animal sacrifice, was still extant and identified by Joseph Smith, Jr.,
that the flood waters covering the earth must have been gradual in
process, in some areas, as it did not destroy all pre flood human artifacts.
At least, the area of Jackson Country, Missouri, USA was not destroyed,
suggesting a higher geological position, or raised elevation than at present.

Noah: Ark of Noah - Noah's Ark - Rainbow (set in Heaven) Rainbow: About Rainbows
Joseph Smith, Jr. stated: [I have asked of the Lord concerning His coming; and while
asking the Lord, He gave a sign and said, "In the days of Noah I set a bow in the heavens
as a sign and token that in any year that the bow should be seen the Lord would not come
but there should be seed time and harvest during that year; but whenever you see the bow
withdrawn, it shall be a token that there shall be famine, pestilence, and great distress
among the nations, and that the coming of the Messiah is not far distant. . . . .
Jesus Christ never did reveal to any man the precise time that He would come.
Go and read the Scriptures, and you cannot find anything that specifies the exact hour
He would come; and all that say so are false teachers.]
History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, by Brigham Henry Roberts,

for agricultural production, or seed time and harvest,  it did not exist in the sky,
prior to the time of the Flood.

Bible Patriarch Noah  D&C 107: 52  Noah was ten years old when
he was ordained under the hand of Methuselah.  Appeared after
death as the angel Gabriel.  D&C 84: 14-15  Noah was a High Priest
in the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God.

time period:  2944 B.C. to 1994 B.C.
Lamech was 182 when Noah was born (Genesis 5: 28-29).  Moses 8: 12
And Noah was four hundred and fifty years old, and begat Japheth; and
forty-two years afterward he begat Shem of her who was the mother of
Japheth, and when he was five hundred years old he begat Ham.  And
Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the
earth.  [2344 B.C.]  Archbishop James Ussher calculated the Flood date:
2349 B.C.  Moses informs us that Noah lived after the flood 350 years;
making him 950 years old when he died (Gen. 9:28-29).  Noah was 84
years old when Enos died, 176 when Cainan died, 234 when Mahalaleel
died, 366 when Jared died, 595 when Lamech died, and 600 when
Methuselah died.  We can see from this that Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel,
Jared, Methuselah, Lamech, and Noah all lived on the earth at the same
time; and that Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared, Methuselah and Lamech,
were all acquainted with both Adam and Noah.

     of Tisai were, Maqôl, Luon, Ṣilagtaba; the children of Dodanim, Iteb, Bēath, and Faneg.
     And of these the inhabitants of the land of Persia, Media, and those of the isles of the sea
     were divided. (3) And Faneg, son of Dodanim, was the first to ride the ships of the sea.
     At that time a third part of the land of Romidath was flooded. And his sons subdued
     Yedid; and the sons of Magog subdued Dēgel, and the sons of Madai subdued Biṭṭo;
     the sons of Yavan, Ṣēel; the sons of Tubal, Paḥath; the sons of Meshek, Nephṭī;
     the sons of Tiras, Rôô; the sons of Dinim, Gudah. And Riphath without his sons
     conquered Gôdô; and the sons of Riphath, Boṣrah; and the sons of Targômah,
     Phut; the sons of Elishah, Ṭablo; the sons of Tarshish, Meriba; and the sons of Kittim ...;
     and the sons of Dôdanim, Qaduba. Then did men begin to till the ground, and when
     the land was parched, they cried to God, and He caused a fructifying rain to descend.
     And it came to pass, when the rain descended, the bow was seen in the clouds.
     When the inhabitants perceived the sign of the covenant, they blessed the Lord.
     Next: XXVIII (1) These are the generations of Noah in their lands, according to their
     families, and according to their tongues. After the flood they were spread over
     the earth according to their nations. . . . while the children of Japheth appointed
     Pinḥas to be a prince and a chief over them. . . .
     (2) These three chiefs came and took counsel together to assemble all their
     people while Noah their father was yet alive. And all the people accordingly
     drew near to them, and were as one body, and peace reigned in the land. (3) It came
     to pass, 640 years after Noah went out of the ark, that each chief numbered his people.
     Pinḥas numbered the children of Japheth and the children of Gomar, and the total
     number of those which Pinḥas numbered was 5,800; that of the children of Magog
     under him, 6,200; that of Madai under him, 5,700; that of the children of Tubal, 9,400;
     and the children of Meshech, 7,200; the children of Riphath numbered 11,500; those
     of Togarmah, 14,400; those of Elishah, 14,900; of Tarshish, 12,100; of Kittim, 18,300;
     of Dodanim, 17,700. The number of the children of Japheth, the men of war and the
     armour-bearers, as Pinḥas their prince had numbered them was 142,000, besides
     women and children. . . . (5) And the number of the children of Noah was 714,100.
     All these were numbered during the lifetime of Noah, and Noah lived after the flood
     350 years. And all the days of Noah were 950 years, and he died.

     Next: XXVII. (4) The children of Ham were Cush, Misraim, Put, and Canaan; and these
     are the children of Cush, Sheba, Tudan, Vabni (?), Māipôn, Tinôs, Siliô, Ṭiluf, Gilug,
     Lipukh. The children of Canaan were Ṣidon, Andaïm, Reṣin, Simim, Ôrôin, Nimigim,
     Ḥamatim, Nipim, Ṭilas, Ilag, and Cushim. Cush begat Nimrod, who was the first giant
     in pride before God. Misraim begat Ludim, ‘Anamim, Lehabim, Naftuḥim, Pathrosim,
     Kasluḥim, and Kaftorim. These began to build the following cities: Sidon and its
     villages, Risôn, Kiūza, Mazāger, Ashqalon, Debir, Qamo, Tilôn, Lakhish, Sodom,
     Gomorrah, Admah, and Ṣebôim.
     Next: XXVIII (1) These are the generations of Noah in their lands, according to their
     families, and according to their tongues. After the flood they were spread over the
     earth according to their nations. The children of Ham then went and appointed
     Nimrod to be a prince and a chief over them; . . . And the children of Ham appointed
     for themselves Yoqtan as their prince and chief.  Research Note:  This appears to be
     a distortion in the record, as the children of Ham had already appointed Nimrod;
     whereas, Joktan is a later name in the lineage of Shem, noted as son of Heber.
     [In Pseudo-Philo's account (ca. 70), Joktan was first made prince over the children
     of Shem, just as Nimrod and Phenech were princes over the children of Ham
     and Japheth, respectively.]
     . . . (2) These three chiefs came and took counsel together to assemble all their
     people while Noah their father was yet alive. And all the people accordingly
     drew near to them, and were as one body, and peace reigned in the land. (3)
     It came to pass, 640 years after Noah went out of the ark, that each chief
     numbered his people. . . . (4) Nimrod the chief numbered the children of
     Ham under his sway, and found them to be 12,600; the children of Misraim
     under him were, 24,900; the children of Phut, 27,700; of Canaan, 32,900; of
     Sheba, 4,300 (?); of Ḥavilah, 24,300; of Sabta, 25,300; of Ra‘amah, 30,600;
     of Sabtecha, 46,400. And the number of the children of Ham, according to
     the numbering of Nimrod the prince, was 492,000 valiant men who went
     out to war, besides the women and children. . . . (5) And the number of
     the children of Noah was 714,100. All these were numbered during the
     lifetime of Noah, and Noah lived after the flood 350 years. And all the
     days of Noah were 950 years, and he died.

B.  Book of Jubilees . . . [Chapter 4-7] The Book Of Jubilees
     About 15 Jubilees scrolls written in Hebrew were found at Qumran. . . .
     And in the twenty-fifth [1205 A.M.] jubilee Noah took to himself a wife, and
     her name was Emzara, the daughter of Rake'el, the daughter of his father's
     brother, in the first year in the fifth week [1207 A.M.]: and in the third year
     thereof she bare him Shem, in the fifth year thereof [1209 A.M.] she bare him
     Ham, and in the first year in the sixth week [1212 A.M.] she bare him Japheth.     

     And lawlessness increased on the earth and all flesh corrupted its way,
     alike men and cattle and beasts and birds and everything that walks on
     the earth - all of them corrupted their ways and their orders, and they
     began to devour each other, and lawlessness increased on the earth
     and every imagination of the thoughts of all men (was) thus evil
     continually. . . .
     And every one sold himself  to work iniquity and to shed much blood,
     and the earth was filled with iniquity. And after this they sinned against
     the beasts and birds, and all that moves and walks on the earth: and much
     blood was shed on the earth, and every imagination and desire of men
     imagined vanity and evil continually.

     Biblical statements concerning the earth being corrupt, with all flesh
     upon the earth being corrupted, are mentioned during the time of the
     Patriarch Noah, 2944 to 1994 B.C.  There were giants on the earth
     in those days that attempted to take away the life of Noah, indicating
     from Holy Scripture, the time frame for the worldwide culmination of
     the development and mutation of dinosaurs, plants and other distorted,
     abnormally deformed creatures.  The Flood at Noah’s Time appears as
     a gift from God, a baptism of the whole earth, to save all mankind and
     all flesh also, from genetic destruction and deformed mutations.

     All human society was without affection, and they hated their own blood.
     Among all the workmanship of God's hands, there has never been such
     great wickedness.  The sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they
     were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.  In other
     words, men who were baptized into the ancient church, rejected their own
     priesthood responsibilities, intentionally marrying wives with attractive,
     physical beauty, that were spiritually devoid of faith in God.

     Book of Jasher 4 And all the sons of men departed from the ways
     of the Lord in those days as they multiplied upon the face of the earth with
     sons and daughters, and they taught one another their evil practices and they
     continued sinning against the Lord. And every man made unto himself a god,
     and they robbed and plundered every man his neighbor as well as his relative,
     and they corrupted the earth, and the earth was filled with violence. And their
     judges and rulers went to the daughters of men and took their wives by force
     from their husbands according to their choice, and the sons of men in those
     days took from the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of
     the air, and taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in
     order therewith to provoke the Lord; and God saw the whole earth and it was
     corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon earth, all men and all animals.

     Genealogical Tables of Emperors, Kings and Princes, from Adam to These Times
     London: James Bettenham, 1732. [available in a microform edition]  Under Table II.
     The PATRIARCHS after the flood of the Line of Japhet, mention is made
     of Japhet's son Gomer, the father of Riphath . . . from whom afterwards came
     the Colonies . . . that first inhabited Great Britain and Ireland . . .  Mention is
     also made of Japhet's son Javan, the father of Dodanim or Rodanim, who
     dwelt in the south and east of France.  The Chronicles of Jerahmeel, page 58,
     notes "And Faneg, son of Dodanim, was the first to ride the ships of the sea";
     the children of Dodanim, Iteb, Beath, and Faneg.  Milesian ancestrial records
     show Magog, not Dodanim, as the father of Baath, Jobhath and Fathochta.
     It is obvious some creative individual (s) in the past, tried to establish Biblical
     connections to Ireland's historical records, using apparent Irish pedigree names.
     External evidence from non Irish sources, historically compared with the ancient
     Irish pedigree's internal evidence, eliminates earlier Japhetic connections.
     A study of Irish source records, includes the "Line of Heremon", from Baoth
     to Milesius, which appears in fact as an anti-Semitic rewriting of Biblical text,
     using Bible analogy into a "gentile" pedigree; such as "In his youth Gaodhal
     was stung in the neck by a serpent and was immediately brought to Moses,
     who by laying his rod upon the wounded place instantly cured him . . ."  Niul
     being "invited into Egypt by Pharaoh the King; who gave him the land of Campus
     Cyruset, near the Red Sea, to inhabit" is an apparent rerun of Abraham going
     down into Egypt.  This carries down in the recorded pedigree of Lamhfionn, for
     "Ireland, which was the place destined for their future and lasting abode and
     settlement; and that not they but their posterity after three hundred years should
     arrive there."  Thus, a disjointed rewrite of Abraham's journey and promise to
     him and his posterity, to possess the land of Canaan, to which they later returned,
     or the Exodus when Moses was 80 years old.

G.  List of Names for the Biblical Nameless
     Provides names given in Jewish, Islamic or Christian
     tradition, for characters who are unnamed in the Bible.

H.  Louis Bourguet (1678-1742), listed in Dictionary of Scientific Biography,
     Vol. XV, published by the American Council of Learned Societies, made a
     philological investigation of the Etruscan alphabet (ancient pre-Roman Italy),
     and was convinced it derived from ancient Hebrew.  He studied Hebrew and
     the Mishnah with a Rabbi.  Louis Bourguet believed in the common origin of
     all peoples and languages and questioned the presumed great age and isolation
     of the people of China.  He declared that the great world wide Flood was but
     the amplification of normal processes and the "exceptional convergence,
     ordained by God, of ordinary causes."  Louis Bourguet explored fossil sites
     throughout Europe, suggesting they were from animal and vegetable origins.
     The Testimony of Archaeology notes: "Both the Hebrew, the Samaritan,
     the Greek writings current in Palestine during the two centuries before
     Christ, and the old Babylonian traditions, assert a transmission of writings
     about creation down from the beginning of time to Enoch and Noah."
     The kept genealogical pedigrees therefore suggest language origination
     and later distortions of a pure universal language that began to fragment
     with population movements and family group isolation, in the time period
     of circa 2944 B.C. to 1994 B.C. and later.  This is what credible written
     evidence suggests, within the created and preserved ancient genealogies.

I.  "There is definite evidence that at one time, and I am convinced it
     was in antediluvian days since the time of Adam, the climate of the
     earth was just as Elder Parley P. Pratt and President John Taylor
     have described it.  Evidence is found in the Arctic that tropical, or
     semi-tropical plants, grew there in abundance.  The frozen animals
     spoken of by Sir Henry H. Howorth were frozen at the time of the
     flood when the climatic conditions of the earth were changed . . . ."

     The journal Nature news, published online on 31 May 2006, notes
     that a "core of sediment pulled from the bottom of the Arctic Ocean
     has confirmed" (that at some period in the past), "the North Pole
     was as warm as a balmy summer day." . . . "it also seems that the
     North Pole began to cool at about the same time as the Antarctic.
     This timing suggests that climate was being driven by a global factor,
     such as atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases, rather than some-
     thing more local, such as geological upheaval."  . . . "the atmosphere
     at the time was exceptionally rich in greenhouse gases . . . amplified
     by an additional factor — possibly heat-trapping stratospheric clouds
     or hurricane-induced ocean mixing."  Excluding the false, incorrect time
     periods, scientific confirmation is given of an abrupt worldwide Flood.
     CBS News SCI-TECH online 31 May 2006, includes: "Imagine a world
     where there are dense sequoia trees and cypress trees like in Florida
     that ring the Arctic Ocean . . . Researchers are not sure what caused
     the sudden boost of carbon dioxide that set the greenhouse effect on
     broil.  Possible culprits could be huge releases of methane from the
     ocean, gigantic continent-sized burning of trees, or lots of volcanic
     eruptions. "

     "We are led to believe, then, that in the beginning the mountains
     were not as high as they are now . . . When the valleys are exalted
     it will be the natural result of the mountains being debased or made
     low.  In this way the earth will be restored to its primitive condition."

K.  Generations of Noah
     - Ophir de España & Fernando de Montesinos’s Divine Defense
       of the Spanish Colonial Empire: A Mysterious Ancestral Merging
       of Pre-Inca and Christian Histories - provides longest version of Andean genealogy,
       one hundred and three Andean rulers instead of the traditional eleven to thirteen
       that were included in the other colonial chronicles from the 16th & 17th centuries.
       Montesinos argues throughout his chronicle that the Incas, along with all Andeans,
       are actually descendants of one of Noah's grandsons named Ophir. This discussed
       by Miguel Cabello de Balboa, in Miscelánea antártica (1586) and Gegorio Garcia,
       in Origen de los indios de el Nuevo Mundo e Indias Occidentales (1607).
       "According to Montesinos, Ophir and his family were the first to arrive to Peru,
       and subsequently the territory was named after this biblical descendant." . . .
       first Andean rulers were Christian-like because they kept the commandments,
       received revelations, and used a precise calendar that corresponded with
       the biblical timeline. [Manuscript purchased by Montesinos at Lima, Peru auction.]
       [Research Note: Sacred Geography, Antiquarianism and Visual Erudition:
       Benito Arias Montano and the Maps in the Antwerp Polygot Bible, on page 71,
       notes the centrepiece of Montano's pious world geography is the identification
       of the biblical gold-bearing region of Ophir with Peru in the New World: . . . the
       identification of the New World in general with the biblical Ophir went back to
       Columbus, and the more specific theory that Peru was Ophir had already been
       suggested by (Guillaume) Postel, but it was Montano who provided the philological
       proof, bringing into action his talents as a Hebraist (Parvaim as 'double Peru').]
       [Montesinos "is generally viewed as either a creative and misleading colonial
       story teller or as a fortunate buyer" of one of the rarest versions of pre-Inca history.]
       Book II Andean history stands pre-eminent in colonial Latin American literature.
       [Book II discusses how Noah's descendants used quillqa for thirty-five hundred
       years to write and keep records . . .] Reference Comparison - Peru is Ophir. First,
       it was theologian Benito Arias Montano, who proposed Ophir as being the same
       as Peru, not Fernando de Montesinos, reasoning that the native Peruvians were
       thus descendants of Ophir and Shem. [Morphologically, parvaim . . . in Hebrew
       could be broken to mean double Peru. Montano claimed therefore that the verse
       should in fact read: ‘And this was the gold of Peru and Peru’, and not like the
       Vulgate, where parvaim was interpreted as a mark of high quality (probatissimum).
       Thus, the final volume of the Polyglot Bible, edited by Benito Arias Montano, printed
       in Antwerp by Christophe Plantin, that was published in 1571–1572, and his other
       published records, appears as historical source records for etymology of both words,
       and noted questioned translations of Hebrew words, by Fernando de Montesinos.]
       [The Quito manuscript : an Inca history preserved by Fernando de Montesinos]
       [Montesinos emphasizes that Ophir was a divine and chosen land. Only righteous
       rulers who were chosen by God were allowed to rule and profit from Ophir, like
       Kings David and Solomon.] "And I, Nephi, did build a temple; and I did construct
       it after the manner of the temple of Solomon save it were not built of so many
       precious things; for they were not to be found upon the land, wherefore, it could
       not be built like unto Solomon’s temple. But the manner of the construction was
       like unto the temple of Solomon; and the workmanship thereof was exceedingly
       fine." Similar to Book of Mormon (2 Nephi 5) writings. However, it is mentioned:
       [described wars and the territorial positioning of Ophir's descendants match the
       archeological timeline of the Wari who lived from approximately 600 AD - 1000 AD.]
       [Nevertheless, "in Chapter 1, the first Andean rulers were Christian-like because they
       kept the commandments, received revelations, and used a precise calendar that
       corresponded with the biblical timeline." . . . "Slowly, even though there are moral
       cycles similar to those found in the Bible, Andean or Ophirian society distance
       themselves from God. War, greed, and struggles for dominance and power corrupt
       the Andean world until the final arrival of the Spaniards." Compare with Jaredite
       Book of Ether 2: "Behold, this is a choice land, and whatsoever nation shall possess
       it shall be free from bondage, and from captivity, and from all other nations
       under heaven, if they will but serve the God of the land, who is Jesus Christ,
       who hath been manifested by the things which we have written."] [Mesoamerican
       Yucatan province may originate from the name of the father of Ophir, Ioktan.]
       [Research Note: The traditional history of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church states that
       Joktan's sons, which would include Ophir, took "no part in the tower building,
       and that they were thus allowed to preserve the original Ge'ez language -- which
       their descendants, the Agazyan, carried across the Red Sea into Ethiopia as they
       mixed with the Cushitic and Agaw people to form the hybrid Habesha race." This
       has exact parallel in The Book of Ether 1, and as further expanded in Ether 3.]

         Was the land of Ophir identified and known prior to the division of the continents,
         during the days of Peleg, and also after and before the days of Noah, as a land
         of gold? Valley of Adam-ondi-Ahman, reconstructed connections to present day
         gold mining and Pangaea, shows a pattern of finds from the United States,
         flowing down through Middle and Central America, parallel South American
         and African continental connections, to deposits within southern South Africa;
         to India, Indonesia and Australia; also, tributary connection into northwest
         United States, Canada, Alaska, to Russian Siberia and Middle East regions.
         Biblical and other texts, suggest that the identification of regions by large
         river systems, indicates ancient use of these waterways for transport and
         travel (D&C 61). "Behold, I, the Lord, in the beginning blessed the waters;
         but in the last days, by the mouth of my servant John, I cursed the waters.
         Wherefore, the days will come that no flesh shall be safe upon the waters.
         And it shall be said in days to come that none is able to go up to the land
         of Zion upon the waters, but he that is upright in heart. And, as I, the Lord,
         in the beginning cursed the land, even so in the last days have I blessed it,
         in its time, for the use of my saints, that they may partake the fatness thereof."
         The mention of gold and other precious metals gave sign posts to the posterity
         of Adam, for determination of location in relation to various family migrations,
         from the region of the first human homestead, situated near the garden of Eden.
         And Adam and Eve, his wife, called upon the name of the Lord, and they heard
         the voice of the Lord from the way toward the Garden of Eden, speaking unto
         them, and they saw him not; for they were shut out from his presence. . . .
         And from that time forth, the sons and daughters of Adam began to divide
         two and two in the land, and to till the land, and to tend flocks, and they
         also begat sons and daughters.

again were hunted and driven.  And it came to pass that we were driven
forth until we had come northward to the land which was called Shem.
Enoch, born 3378 B.C., went to the mount Simeon.  From there, Enoch
beheld the land of Shem.  These records indicate that Shem was born
on a portion of the North American Continent, in 2452 B.C., one hundred
and eight years prior to the world wide flood in 2344 B.C.  As a child,
Shem, the great High Priest, feared God.  After Enoch lived sixty-five
years, and begat Methuselah, he stated to God that he was but a lad;
indicating similar age identification for: "as a child" (Moses 6: 31).

life:
Shem, the great high priest, seen among the mighty ones in spirit world.
According to The Book Of Jubilees, the wife of Shem was Sedeqetelebab,
who appears, by name designation, as a righteous and faithful wife.
The main Hebrew word for righteousness is sedeq, which constitutes
the second half of the compound proper noun Melchizedek (Hebrew
malko-sedeq, "king of righteousness"), who is a type of Christ
(see Genesis 14:8; Psalm 110:4; Hebrews 7:15—17; Alma 13:14—18;
D&C 107:1—4). . . . The Hebrew word sedeq is also associated with
the concept of just weights and measures in Leviticus 19:35—36:
"Ye shall do no unrighteousness ['awel] in judgment [mišpat], in
meteyard [middah], in weight [mišqal], or in measure [meÅ›urah].
Just [sedeq] balances, just [sedeq] weights, a just [sedeq] ephah,
and a just [sedeq] hin, shall ye have: I am the Lord your God,
which brought you out of the land of Egypt." This "just measuring"
connotation of sedeq helps us understand the synonymous meanings
of the two parallel phrases in 3 Nephi 14:2 and Matthew 7:2 JST . . .

Now Melchizedek was a man of faith, who wrought righteousness;
and when a child he feared God, and stopped the mouths of lions, and
quenched the violence of fire.  And thus, having been approved of God,
he was ordained an high priest after the order of the covenant which
God made with Enoch.  Shem, the great pre/post flood High Priest heir
of Noah, was ordained an high priest after the order of the covenant
which God made with the pre-flood High Priest Enoch; for as a child,
Shem feared God. Shem stopped the mouths of lions, and quenched
the violence of fire, prior to the Flood, since after the Flood there was
no general wickedness left and there were only a minimal number of
lions remaining upon the earth. Additionally, according to Alma,
Chapter 13, of the Book of Mormon, Melchizedek was a High Priest,
and was a king over the land of Salem . . . for he was the king of Salem,
and he did reign under his father. Noah lived from 2944 B.C. to 1994 B.C.
Shem, or Melchizedek, the High Priest lived from 2452 B.C. to 1852 B.C.

Under the Patriarchal Order, Nahor died in 2013 B.C.; Shem was alive.

Under the Patriarchal Order, Serug died in 1961 B.C.; Shem was alive.

Abraham either died in 1887 B.C., before Shem died, or outlived him by 25 years.
Nevertheless, Eber signifies "the region beyond"; unconnected to Salem.]
Under the Patriarchal Order, Salah / Shelah died in 1884 B.C.; Shem was alive.
Under the Patriarchal Order, Arphaxad died in 1914 B.C.; Shem was alive.
Shem would have been King of Salem after the time of the flood, a city

Temple Patriarch having Keys of the Priesthood of the Only  Begotten Son of God.

Worthy Melchizedek priesthood holders obtain the key of knowledge:
the fullness of the Scriptures.  D&C 84: 19  And this greater priesthood
administereth the gospel and holdeth the key of the mysteries of
the kingdom, even the key of the knowledge of God.  D&C 128: 11
Now the great and grand secret of the whole matter, and the summum
bonum of the whole subject that is lying before us, consists in obtaining
the powers of the Holy Priesthood.  For him to whom these keys are
given there is no difficulty in obtaining a knowledge of facts in relation
to the salvation of the children of men, both as well for the dead as for
the living.  D&C 107: 2-4 . . . Melchizedek was such a great high priest.
Before his day it was called the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of
the Son of God.  But out of respect or reverence to the name of the
Supreme Being, to avoid the too frequent repetition of his name, they,
the church, in ancient days, called that priesthood after Melchizedek, or
the Melchizedek Priesthood.  JST Genesis 14: 25-40  And this Melchizedek,
having thus established righteousness, was called the King of Heaven
[GOD] by his people, or, in other words, the King of Peace [GOD]; in
the similitude of Jesus Christ: the Messiah - Psalm 110.

Mormon 2: 20  And Noah was four hundred and fifty years old,
and begat Japheth; and forty-two years afterward he begat Shem
of her who was the mother of Japheth, and when he was five hundred
years old he begat Ham.  And Noah was six hundred years old when
the flood of waters was upon the earth. [2344 B.C.]  Noah lived after
the flood 350 years; making him 950 years old when he died
(Gen. 9:28-29).  Shem was 100 years old when Arphaxad was born
(Gen. 11:10).  Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad 500 [years]
(Gen 11:11).  This added to 100 years, which was his age when
Arphaxad was born, makes him 600 years old when he died.

A.  Chronicles of Jerahmeel Index- Next: XXVII [Eleazar ben Asher ha-Levi], 12th century.
     (5) The children of Shem were Elam, Ashur, Arpakhshad, Lud, and Aran.
     The sons of Ashur were Gezrôn, Ishai; . . .
     Next: XXVIII (1) These are the generations of Noah in their lands, according to their
     families, and according to their tongues. After the flood they were spread over the
     earth according to their nations. The children of Ham then went and appointed
     Nimrod to be a prince and a chief over them; . . . And the children of Ham appointed
     for themselves Yoqtan as their prince and chief.  Research Note:  This appears to be
     a distortion in the record, as the children of Ham had already appointed Nimrod;
     whereas, Joktan is a later name in the lineage of Shem, noted as son of Heber.
     [Next: XXIX (6) And Yoqtan, the head of the princes, answered and said,
     'We shall not do this, . . .]  [In Pseudo-Philo's account (ca. 70), Joktan was first
     made prince over the children of Shem, just as Nimrod and Phenech were
     princes over the children of Ham and Japheth, respectively.]
     . . . (2) These three chiefs came and took counsel together to assemble all their
     people while Noah their father was yet alive. And all the people accordingly
     drew near to them, and were as one body, and peace reigned in the land. (3)
     It came to pass, 640 years after Noah went out of the ark, that each chief
     numbered his people. . . . (5) And the number of the children of Noah was 714,100.
     All these were numbered during the lifetime of Noah, and Noah lived after the flood
     350 years. And all the days of Noah were 950 years, and he died.  [N.B.--Shem has
     evidently dropped out in the MS.; suggesting origins from non Semitic sources.]

B.  Book of Jubilees . . . [Chapter 7] The Book Of Jubilees
     About 15 Jubilees scrolls written in Hebrew were found at Qumran. . . .
     And Shem dwelt with his father Noah, and he built a city close to his father on
     the mountain, and he too called its name after the name of his wife Sedeqetelebab.

C.  Shem was Melchizedek.  He received the priesthood through the lineage
     of his fathers, even till Noah; and from Noah till Enoch, through the lineage of
     their fathers; and from Enoch to Abel, who received the priesthood by the hand
     of his father Adam, who was the first man.  Abraham, when speaking of the holy
     priesthood which he obtained from Melchizedek, notes that: "It was conferred
     upon me from the fathers; it came down from the fathers, from the beginning of
     time, yea, even from the beginning, or before the foundation of the earth, down
     to the present time, even the right of the firstborn, or the first man, who is Adam,
     or first father, through the fathers unto me."  Thus, Melchizedek received his
     priesthood through the lineage of his fathers, even till Noah, [means my priesthood
     came down in time from Adam to Noah, my father]; from Noah till Enoch through
     the lineage of their fathers [means my priesthood lineage descended from Adam
     via Enoch to Noah, my father, through the lineage of their fathers]; for this
     priesthood was received from Enoch to Abel, who received the priesthood by
     the hand of his father Adam.  The priesthood lineage is very clearly recorded:
     a descending pedigree lineage, anciently from the man Adam, to Abel his son,
     (who was a brother of Seth, the son of Adam: the lineage ancestry of Noah).

D.  According to the priesthood records of the patriarchs, Adam ordained Seth,
     Enos, Mahalaleel, Jared, Enoch and Methuselah.  Lamech, the father of Noah,
     was ordained by Seth, his 5th great-grandfather, in the year 3094 B.C.  Noah
     was ten years old in 2934 B.C., when he was ordained under the hand of his
     grandfather Methuselah.  Methuselah was ordained by his 5th great-grandfather
     Adam, in the year 3213 B.C.  Shem (Melchizedek), the great high priest, received
     his priesthood, through the lineage of his father Noah.

     thereof Arpachshad took to himself a wife and her name was Rasu'eja,
     the daughter of Susan, the daughter of Elam, and she bare him a son in
     the third year in this week, [1375 A.M.] and he called his name Kainam.
     And the son grew, and his father taught him writing, and he went to seek
     for himself a place where he might seize for himself a city. And he found
     a writing which former (generations) had carved on the rock, and he read
     what was thereon, and he transcribed it and sinned owing to it; for it
     contained the teaching of the Watchers in accordance with which they
     used to observe the omens of the sun and moon and stars in all the signs
     of heaven. And he wrote it down and said nothing regarding it; for he
     was afraid to speak to Noah about it lest he should be angry with him
     on account of it. And in the thirtieth jubilee, [1429 A.M.] in the second
     week, in the first year thereof, he took to himself a wife, and her name
     was Melka, the daughter of Madai, the son of Japheth, and in the fourth
     year [1432 A.M.] he begat a son, and called his name Shelah; for he said:
     'Truly I have been sent.' [And in the fourth year he was born] . . .  In the
     Septuagint, Arpachshad's son is also called Cainan, making Shelah the
     grandson of Arpachshad. In the New Testament, Luke 3: 35-36 Sala,
     Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad, which
     was the son of Sem, which was the son of Noe, which was the son of Lamech, . . .

     was on the Ark; with Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons
     of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them.
     According to Genesis 11: 10: These are the generations of Shem: Shem
     was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood.
     There is a chronological difference in the records of 10 years.  The earlier
     date of birth: year 2352 B.C., indicates that Shem, the father of Arphaxad,
     was married before he was 92 years of age, which appears reasonable.

was born, in whose days the earth was divided (Gen. 11:16).  Eber lived
after he begat Peleg 430 years (Gen. 11:17).  This added to 34 years, which

     And the children of Peleg were Re‘u, Rifud, Shafra, Aqôlôn, Zakar, Zifd,
     Gebi, Shuri, Shzēūr, Palabus, Rafa, Palṭia, Shafdifal, Shayish, Harṭman,
     Elifaz.  These are the children of Peleg, and these are their names.  They
     took to them wives of the daughters of Yoqtan, by whom were born sons
     and daughters, so that the whole earth was filled with them.

     Peleg took to himself a wife, whose name was Lomna the daughter of Sina'ar,
     and she bare him a son in the fourth year of this week, and he called his name
     Reu; for he said: 'Behold the children of men have become evil through the
     wicked purpose of building for themselves a city and a tower in the land of Shinar.'

C.  Presently, there is scientific knowledge about continental drift of the
     earth's land surface around the inner liquid core [Continental Drift, listed
     on page 353, under Plate Tectonics, Academic American Encyclopedia,
     Vol. 15, (1980)].  Helaman 12: 15  And thus, according to his word the earth
     goeth back, and it appeareth unto man that the sun standeth still; yea,
     and behold, this is so; for surely it is the earth that moveth and not the sun.
     As recorded in D&C 133: 21-25, the Lamb of God, (the Only Begotten Son
     Jesus Christ, or Jehovah), shall return to the earth: And he shall utter his voice
     out of Zion, and he shall speak from Jerusalem, and his voice shall be heard
     among all people; And it shall be a voice as the voice of many waters, and as
     the voice of a great thunder, which shall break down the mountains, and the
     valleys shall not be found. He shall command the great deep, and it shall be
     driven back into the north countries, and the islands shall become one land;
     And the land of Jerusalem and the land of Zion shall be turned back into their
     own place, and the earth shall be like as it was in the days before it was divided.
     And the Lord, even the Savior, shall stand in the midst of his people, and shall
     reign over all flesh.  This certainly is an indication of an immediate and intensive
     worldwide continental drift.  The land of Zion [Jackson County, Missouri, USA]
     and the land of Jerusalem shall be turned back into their own place, and the
     earth shall be like it was in the days before it was divided [during the days of
     Peleg, 2253 to 2014 B.C.].  All of the Earth's geologic formation changes have
     occurred within a limited time period of a few thousand years.  D&C 77: 12

D.  What about Continental Drift?  Prior to division - adjustment of land forms,
     according to Genesis 2: 10-14, a river went out of Eden to water the garden;
     and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.  The name of
     the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah,
     where there is gold; And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium
     and the onyx stone.  And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same
     is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.  And the name of the third
     river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria.  And the
     fourth river is Euphrates.  The mountains of Adam-ondi-Ahman, by rainfall
     or massive underground sources, brought forth a river system that went out of
     the Garden of Eden, to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and
     became into four heads, within the unified confines of one worldwide land
     mass area; being an apparent elevated area, central to the location of the
     current State of Missouri, in the USA, North American Continent (A.D. 2023).
     Valley of Adam-ondi-Ahman, reconstructed with connections to present day
     gold mining and Pangaea, shows a pattern of finds from the United States,
     flowing down through Middle and Central America, parallel South American
     and African continental connections, to gold deposits within South Africa;
     to India, Indonesia and Australia; also, tributary connection into northwest
     United States, Canada, Alaska, to Russian Siberia and Middle East regions.
     Biblical and other texts, reveal the identification of regionsby large river
     systems, indicating the ancient use of these waterways for transport and
     travel (D&C 61). "Behold, I, the Lord, in the beginning blessed the waters;
     but in the last days, by the mouth of my servant John, I cursed the waters.
     Wherefore, the days will come that no flesh shall be safe upon the waters.
     And it shall be said in days to come that none is able to go up to the land
     of Zion upon the waters, but he that is upright in heart. And, as I, the Lord,
     in the beginning cursed the land, even so in the last days have I blessed it,
     in its time, for the use of my saints, that they may partake the fatness thereof."
     The mention of gold and other precious metals gave sign posts to the posterity
     of Adam, for determination of location in relation to various family migrations,
     from the region of the first human homestead, situated near the garden of Eden.
     And Adam and Eve, his wife, called upon the name of the Lord, and they heard
     the voice of the Lord from the way toward the Garden of Eden, speaking unto
     them, and they saw him not; for they were shut out from his presence. . . .
     And from that time forth, the sons and daughters of Adam began to divide
     two and two in the land, and to till the land, and to tend flocks, and they
     also begat sons and daughters.
