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.

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., obtained Hebrew language education / instructions
from the erudite Jew, Joshua Seixas: Collection: Papers of Seixas Family | CJH;
Joshua/James Seixas (1802-1874): Jewish Apostasy and Christian Hebraism . . .;
First American Jewish Families, by Rabbi Malcolm Henry Stern, FASG (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.]
The Ages of the Patriarchs in the Joseph Smith Translation | Religious Studies Center
[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

      [Research Note: Wikipedia incorrectly states that "Christianity originated with

      Kingdom of God and was crucified . . ." It started with Adam, re: Joseph Smith, Jr.]
      - See: Discourse, 17 January 1843, as Reported by Wilford Woodruff, Page 2
        Br Joseph spoke to some length on the kingdom of God & the Baptism of John,
        he said the kingdom of God was set upon the earth in all ages from the days
        of Adam to the presant (sic) time (1) whenever there was a man on earth who had
        authority to Administar (sic) the ordinances of the gospel or a priest of God &
        unto such a man God did reveal his will    Concerning the Baptism of John it was
        the Baptism of repentance unto remission of sins for the receiving of the Holy Ghost
        & it was the gospel Baptism. These were questions which had been in debate for
        many years & in some degree among the Saints. He also spoke upon the subject
        of honor & dishonor &c [p. [2]] - Footnotes - [1] JS consistently taught that people
        who were alive before the establishment of the early Christian church knew of
        and worshipped Jesus Christ. Both the Book of Mormon and JS's revision of the
        Old Testament included teachings about Christ and Christian worship predating
        New Testament times. There were, according to JS, "dispensations and keys and
        powers and glories" that had been "revealed from the days of Adam even to the
        present time," Adam having been the person to whom "Christ was first revealed."
        . . . [2] JS elaborated on earlier instruction, given in 1840, that "the keys of the
        Kingdom of God" were on the earth "in all ages of the world" and constituted
        the means by which "all knowledge, doctrine, the plan of salvation and every
        important truth is revealed from heaven." According to JS, this pattern of revealing
        truth to humanity would continue "to the end of time." . . . [3] JS's reference to the
        church as the kingdom of God in this sermon responded to various disputes in the
        nineteenth century among American Protestants regarding the original founding
        date of Christ's church and earthly kingdom. . . . to the day of Pentecost . . . etc.

      A dispassionate evaluation of records of beginnings of ancient societies indicates that
      creation motifs of all societies, both ancient and modern, without religious affiliation,
      have no fundamental attachable physical reality, outside of archaeological findings.
      Physical determinism of mankind is only established within Judao-Christian theology.
      Faith in the Messiah originates existence as always following from prior conditions.
      An all knowing God eliminates all universal human contingencies and indeterminism.
      The Prophet, Seer, Revelator, and Translator, Joseph Smith, Jr., High Priest President
      of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, spoke, at the Temple in Nauvoo.
      Joseph spoke on the Spirit of Elias-- the Spirit of Elijah and the Spirit of Messiah--
      the Spirit of Elias is a forerunner same as John the Baptist-- the Spirit of Elijah is the
      sealing power-- to seal the hearts of the Fathers to the children-- and the children to
      the Parents-- as Paul declared that the Saints of the last days could not be perfect with-
      out them-- neither can they be perfect without us-- the Spirit of Messiah is all power in
      Heaven and in Earth-- Enthroned in the Heavens as King of Kings and Lord of Lords--
      See: Creation: The Creation (The Creation) and Doctrine and Covenants 77.
      Furthermore, Doctrine and Covenants 101, verses 32-34, validates that current,
      modern science, will never be able to comprehend or ascertain the origins,
      or destiny of this earth, the solar system, or the Universe; except on the principle
      of valiant service and sacrifice in the cause of our King Jesus Christ, who will reveal
      all things at His coming in Glory. Keys of the Universe are restricted to all worthy
      Celestial administrators, such as our Ancient of Days, Father Adam.  When Son Ahman
      comes, Adam delivers up his stewardship to Christ, that which was delivered to him as
      holding the keys of the Universe, but retains his standing as head of the human family.

  - 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.
    - LDS Studies: The Connection between Melchizedek and Shem
      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; it is a descending
      pedigree lineage, anciently from the man Adam, to the honorable Abel, his slain son
      [who was a brother of Seth, another son of Adam: the actual lineage ancestry of Noah].
      [Research Note: Do not interpret ancient genealogies from the standpoint, or viewpoint,
      of modern, unlearned genealogists, who concentrate on creating ascending research
      pedigrees. Until the Patriarchal Priesthood endowments and covenants were completely
      broken, and records discontinued, or intentionally destroyed; genealogies established,
      in the Ancient Book of Remembrance, were recorded as righteous descending posterity.
      Our Father Abraham clearly states he received handed down records from his fathers.
      Apostle Bruce R. McConkie was incorrect in his creation of gaps in the record source.]
      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
      was 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. Abraham lived in the time period between circa --
      2062 B.C. to 1827 B.C.. Under the Patriarchal Order, Terah practiced idolatry; unable
      to receive tithing.  Under the Patriarchal Order, Nahor died in 2013 B.C.; Shem was alive.
      [The Book of Jubilees suggests Nahor was taught idolatry by his father.] Under the
      Patriarchal Order, Serug died in 1961 B.C.; Shem was alive. [The Book of Jubilees
      suggests Serug worshipped idols.] Under the Patriarchal Order, Reu died in 1984 B.C.;
      Shem was alive. [The Chronicles of Jerahmeel suggest he had the spirit of prophesy;
      was righteous.] Under the Patriarchal Order, Peleg died in 2014 B.C.; Shem was alive.
      [The Chronicles of Jerahmeel suggest he was righteous.] Under the Patriarchal Order,
      Eber / Heber died in 1823 B.C. [Shem was alive until 1852 B.C. and Abraham died
      between 1887 / 1827 B.C. 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
      of righteousness, (after they were called to repentance), under the direction of his father
      Noah, who was also a King, for over a period of 350 years. . . . Finally, The Priesthood
      was first given To Adam: he obtained to (crossed out) the first Presidency & held the
      Keys of it, from genration (sic) to Generation; he obtained it in the creation before
      the world was formed as in Gen. 1, 26:28, - he had dominion given him over every living
      Creature. He is Michael, the Archangel, spoken of in the Scriptures, -- Then to Noah
      who is Gabriel, he stands next in authority to Adam in the Priesthood; he was called
      of God to this office & was the Father of all living in his day, & To him was Given the
      Dominion. These men held keys, first on earth, & then in Heaven. -- . . . Dan VII Speaks
      of the Ancient of Days, he means the oldest man, our Father Adam, Michael; he will
      call his children together . . . Both Adam and Noah also obtained the Priesthood Title
      of "King"; or in other words, all three were Prophets, Priests, and Kings, in their own
      right; Adam holding furthermore, the very Keys of the Universe, under the direct
      jurisdiction of Jesus Christ. [Also known as the Jehovah God of the Old Testament.]
    - Letter to James Arlington Bennet, 13 November 1843, Page 4b
      Joseph Smith, Jr. says: Shall I, who hold the keys of the last kingdom, in which is the
      dispensation of the fulness of all things spoken by the mouths of all the holy prophets
      since the world began; under the sealing power of the Melchizedek priesthood,
      shall I stoop from the sublime authority of Almighty God, to be handled as a monkey's
      cat's paw, -- and pettify myself into a clown to act the farce of political demagoguery?
      No, no verily; no! . . . I solve mathematical problems of Universities; with truth . . .

      . . . 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.
      . . . vision of the afterlife that individuals who inherited the celestial kingdom
      (the highest degree of heavenly glory) were "priests of the most high after the order
      of Melchesadeck (sic) which was after the order of Enoch which was after the order
      of . . . the only begotten son." (Jesus Christ) . . . endowed with the same power
      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.] . . .
      Then God bestow'd upon the meek, The Priesthood of Melchizedek. 2. By help
      of this their faith increas'd, Till they with God spoke face to face:
      An Enoch, he would walk with God; A Noah ride safe o'er the flood. . . .
      By October 1831 JS taught that "the order of the High priesthood is that
      they have power given them to seal up the Saints unto eternal life."

    [Research Note: The world and earth are not synonymous terms. (The commentaries
    by the Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr., are a complete repudiation of modern science. . . .)
    The world is the human family. This earth was organized or formed out of other
    planets which were broke up and remodelled (sic) and made into the one on which
    we live (i.e., unorganized, pulverized elements). The elements are eternal. That which
    has a beginning . . . will surely have an end. Take a ring, it is without beginning or
    end; cut it for a beginning place, and at the same time you will have an ending place.
    A key, every principle proceeding from God is eternal, and any principle which is not
    eternal is of the Devil. The sun has no beginning or end, the rays which proceed from
    himself (the Sun) have no bounds, consequently are eternal (i.e., a Celestial Planet,
    or glorified, eternal Star). So it is with God. If the soul of man had a beginning it will
    surely have an end. In the translation; "without form and void" it should read "empty
    and desolate" The word "created" should be formed or organized. . . . Observations
    on the Sectarian God. That which is without body or parts is nothing. There is no other
    God in heaven but that God who has flesh and bones (in a Celestial state of being).
    . . . The great principle of happiness consists in having a body. . . . All beings who
    have bodies have power over those who have not. . . . This earth will be rolled back
    into the presence of God and crowned with Celestial Glory (i.e., become like our Sun).

    [Research Note: Britannica improperly divides the writings of Isaiah into two areas
    of authorship, ignoring other resources presenting findings on Understanding Isaiah.
    As mentioned, Nephi taught that the words of Isaiah "are plain unto all those that
    are filled with the spirit of prophecy". The Book of Mormon prophet Nephi further
    stated concerning Joseph, son of Jacob, that "He truly prophesied concerning all
    his seed. And the prophecies which he wrote, there are not many greater." So this
    resolves all problems. The Book of Mormon is true, because it is not restricted by
    time considerations; meaning events going forward for generations of time, are
    known and can be spoken of, as if occurring within the present generation, of living
    prophets, seers, and revelators; such as Joseph of Egypt speaking in future times,
    of the restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, by his descendants Joseph, father and
    son, or Joseph Smith, Sr. and Joseph Smith, Jr.; which only the faithful comprehend.
    This same power of belief, founded upon a perfect faith in Jesus Christ, grants a JST
    Genesis 50 translation, to be valid, when ancient Joseph prophesied the bondage of
    his father's family in Egypt and their eventual deliverance by Moses, and specifically
    names him and his brother, Aaron. Moses was to deliver Israel from Egypt, have
    power over the Red Sea, receive commandments from God, and be assisted by
    Aaron as his spokesman. This belief system is grounded in the spirit of prophecy.]
  - Jablonski: and particularly the Glossarium P. E. Jablonskii Voc. AEgypt. p. cclii. &c.,
    [P. E. Jablonski, who stressed the fact that the Gnostics liked to represent, Christ
    as the Sun (god). From: Three Elusive Amulets on JSTOR];
    [The risen Christ is our SUN - Wijngaards Institute for Catholic Research].
    A Gnostic letter of around 200 AD states that resurrection is real for us Christians,
    because we 'possess' resurrection. "Resurrection of the spirit", it says, "swallows
    resurrection of the psyche and resurrection of the flesh". It then describes resurrection
    of the spirit as "being drawn upward by God as rays are drawn by the sun". [Research
    Note: A partial "resurrection" is described in the Book of Mormon, in the distinct case
    of Three Nephites. In the Book of Mormon, the Three Nephites (also known as the
    Three Nephite Disciples) are three Nephite disciples of Jesus who were blessed by
    Jesus to remain alive on the earth, engaged in the ministry and in their apostolic
    callings until his Second Coming. As described in Third Nephi chapter 28, this change
    occurred when they were caught up into heaven. Similar to Mormon beliefs about

    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): The Delightful Man; or,
God the Father; or, from the Egyptian alphabet, in the first degree:
ah = the first being who exercises Supreme power is the Delightful Man.
He is the Great I Am who acts Only upon the Principles of Righteousness.
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.

geography (location): Celestial Kingdom (Church of the Firstborn) (Urim and Thummim)
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.

Eternal Nature of God, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life.
And were it possible that man could number the particles of the earth, yea,
millions of earths like this, it would not be a beginning to the number of thy
creations; and thy curtains are stretched out still; and yet thou art there, and
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
all eternity to all eternity; and naught but peace, justice, and truth is the
habitation of thy throne; and mercy shall go before thy face and have no end . . .

What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
[Research Note: RootsTech • FamilySearch was presented 29 Feb 2024 - 02 Mar 2024; it
did "provide meaningful connections through a deeper understanding of family history
and genealogy." Class Schedule Preview shows 27 DNA results. A Search of RootsTech
On-Demand Library reveals an added 289 results. The Science of Molecular Genealogy
suggests: "Molecular science can help genealogists uncover previously unknown family
relationships, verify or refute claims to ancestry, and shed light on questions that have
puzzled family historians for years." There are however, scientific limitations involved,
when considering Latter-day Saint, or Christian belief systems, based upon Bible text;
showing The Internal Consistency and Historical Reliability of the Biblical Genealogies.
Scott Ray Woodward (biologist)] extracted and typed DNA going back millions of years.
Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His EASTER resurrection, validated by LDS (D&C 138),
suggest serious reconsiderations on the actual value of DNA studies, extrapolated back
in temporal time. Foremost of all, What are resurrected bodies like?, declares they are
physical; and thus, no physical bodies upon the earth for molecular science to evaluate.
Moroni, who lived in the fifth century AD, additionally is a physically resurrected being.
So what is left of the ancient molecular past, to scientifically evaluate, are remains from
wicked societies, and social environments, destined for a future Telestial or Terrestrial
eternal existence. All these societies, except for Noah and his family relationships, had
disruptive global flood experiences, degrading and altering their molecular body purity
(as well as a stated corruption of all flesh, intermingled between animals and humans).
Additionally, all spirit is matter, but it is more refined and pure, such that it is infinitely
incapable of being measured by modern technological instruments; nor by DNA data.
God of course knows all of His spirit children, and knows from the beginnings of their
spiritual birth in heaven; thus He knows the past, present and future of the Universe,
knowing beforehand, the beginnings and ends of all the works of His own Creations.

In conclusion then, What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
The Book of Mormon is the greatest primary witness on the face of the earth to validate
the authenticity of the Ancient Biblical Record, with Moroni as the greatest key witness.
The Prophet Moroni testifies emphatically that the Theory of Evolution is so completely
false, as noted in Line upon Line: Moroni 10:3–5. Behold, I would exhort you, that when
ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would
remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation
of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your
hearts. . . . And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things. . . .
The key element of this witness testimony concerning the real mortal existence of Adam,
and the factual evidence of the creation of the earth, and all the subsequent related things
thereto, is clearly stated within The Book of Ether. Moroni specifically abridged the record
of the Jaredites. Therefore, from a professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
he is an intimate, personally involved, eye-witness to this account of those twenty and four
plates which were found by the people of Limhi, which is called the Book of Ether. Moroni
mentions: "And as I suppose that the first part of this record, which speaks concerning the
creation of the world, and also of Adam, and an account from that time even to the great
tower, and whatsoever things transpired among the children of men until that time, is had
among the Jews-- Therefore I do not write those things which transpired from the days of
Adam until that time; but they are had upon the plates; and whoso findeth them, the same
will have power that he may get the full account" (as they are written in Adamic language).
Additionally Legal Records, the Brass Plates, held in the originating possession of Laban,
contained not only the Jewish scriptures, but also Lehi's own genealogy back to Joseph
in Egypt. From a dispassionate, professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
this directly relates to the genealogical Truths taught in 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi, Moroni had
access to the Brass Plates of Laban and knew that those records came forth out of the City
of Jerusalem; and were handed down intact by the seed of originating Nephite father Lehi.
Nevertheless, the very false theory, or secular doctrine of Evolution is currently, and very
openly, and proudly; blatantly expounded upon, by open-minded "scientific" leadership,
from the sacred halls of learning, at Brigham Young University. Yet, Nephi, son of Lehi,
had a vision of great significance, recorded in 1 Nephi 13:20–42: Plain and Precious Truths.
In particular, from a genealogical research standpoint, 1 Nephi 13: 23, the Gentiles, or us,
today, had a book, which an angel from the Throne of God in Heaven declared, stating:
Behold it proceedeth out of the mouth of a Jew (collectively, the ancestry of the Jews).
"The book that thou beholdest is a record of the Jews, which contains the covenants
of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house of Israel (from Old Testament times);
and it also containeth many of the prophecies of the holy prophets; and it is a record
like unto the engravings which are upon the plates of brass, save there are not so many;
nevertheless, they contain the covenants of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house
of Israel; wherefore, they are of great worth unto the Gentiles." Organic Evolution is false.

Both the Father Ahman and the Son, or Son Ahman, have the same Names.
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
to the Assistant to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles}]), Limdi (the fifth
fixed star in its motion), Zip, Vu[v/s]el, Venist[i/j], Waine, Wa[g/y]oh-
ox-oan, Oansli, [K/Shi/Me]ble, Shin[e/s]flis, Flis and Os[e].

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.
Glossary Topic: Adam-ondi-Ahman - History - Importance - Location - Meeting - Savior.
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.

002:   JESUS CHRIST: SON AHMAN (the Only Begotten Son of GOD: The Eternal FATHER)

Family of Jesus Christ (Son Ahman): Jesus / Jesus Christ (Archive Search) / Jesus Christ
Jehovah (Archive Search) / Jehovah |

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.
Indeed, the Law of the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God,
that was ordained by the Messiah, (even Jesus Christ, or the said Jehovah,
the Son Ahman, the Great I AM of the Old Testament), and His Father Ahman,
before the world was created and formed in a temporal state of physical reality;
was that in total humility, "Meek and Lowly", Jesus Christ would come to this earth
and be born as is all humanity, a little child of God; growing up into a Man of God.
He received all things, whatsoever he received, by revelation and commandment,
by the Word of His Father Ahman, according to the Priesthood Oath and Covenant.
Jesus Christ has a resurrected Celestial body, and has entered into His exaltation,
and sits upon His Throne, as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, on the Right Hand
of His Father Ahman. Jesus Christ also received promises concerning His seed,
while upon this mortal earth, concerning His seed, and of the fruit of His loins;
which were to continue so long as they were in the world; and as touching Jesus
and His seed, out of the world they should continue; both in the world and out of
the world should they continue as innumerable as the stars; or, if one were to count
the sand upon the seashore, one could not number them. This promise Jesus Christ
received, and by this law is the continuation of the works of the Father of the Messiah
continued, wherein He glorifieth Himself, as well as is the Son of God also glorified.
Jesus Christ had conferred upon Him all the keys and powers of the Holy Priesthood.
He has His exaltation and Throne in the Highest Kingdom of His Father, as Son of God.
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain. He has an exceedingly great, eternal weight of glory.
This is Eternal Lives & Life: to know the only wise and true God and His Son Jesus Christ.

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.]
[Research Note: Plural Marriage "was believed in and practiced by the ancients"; noted
Brigham Young: Beneficial Effects of Polygamy (Journal of Discourses). As LDS President,
Brigham Young also stated "that if you desire with all your hearts to obtain the blessings
which Abraham obtained, you will be polygamists at least in your faith, or you will come
short of enjoying the salvation and the glory which Abraham has obtained. This is as true
as that God lives. . . . The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those
who enter into polygamy. Others attain unto a glory and may even be permitted to come
into the presence of the Father and the Son (in the Celestial Earth Kingdom; single, or in
a monogamously Temple sealed marriage), but they cannot (fully) reign as kings in glory,
because they had blessings offered unto them (to have power to save their own posterity),
and they refused to accept them." The Power to Seal on Earth and in Heaven remained
actively upon the earth until the days of Elijah the Prophet, one of Messengers with Keys.
Therefore, according to President Brigham Young, Jesus Christ had to have been married
to more than one wife, before he was exalted. Thus, the New Testament does not contain
a complete record of the Saints family relationships. Furthermore, Biblical society clearly
included plural marriage, as it was "believed in and practiced by the ancients", (as three
years previous to the death of Adam, he called Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared,
Enoch, and Methuselah; all just high priests, having the Holy Priesthood, after the Order
of the Son of God, with the residue of his, Adam's righteous posterity, into the green valley
of Adam-ondi-Ahman); which society continued on through Shem, or Melchizedek, the son
of Noah; to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, or Israel; down into the later Christian Gentile era.
This certainly indicates a tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical records, when actually
compared mathematically, with the high number of global inhabitants, in pre-flood times.
Section 138, Vision of the Redemption of the Dead (Doctrine and Covenants 138): "Among
the great and mighty ones who were assembled in this vast congregation of the righteous
were Father Adam, the Ancient of Days and father of all, And our glorious Mother Eve,
with many of her faithful daughters who had lived through the (past Old Testament) ages
and worshiped the true and living God." Adam, or Michael, as the Holy Patriarchal Head
of the Human Family, by Right, has been delegated to hold the keys of the resurrection
of the dead, from Jesus Christ, or Jehovah; having previously passed through that order,
and continuously assists in bringing to pass the crowning of his posterity with immortality,
and eternal lives, under the direction of Son Ahman, the Messiah, Lord of Lords, and King
of Kings. President Joseph F. Smith validates tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical
records,: "I saw the hosts of the dead, both small and great." -- "And there were gathered
together in one place an innumerable company of the spirits of the just who had been
faithful in the testimony of Jesus while they lived in mortality;" "They were assembled
awaiting the advent of the Son of God into the spirit world, to declare their redemption
from the bands of death." (Thus, this would have been an innumerable company of spirits
having lived in Old Testament times, as "Their sleeping dust was to be restored unto its
perfect frame . . .") "While this vast multitude waited and conversed, rejoicing in the hour
of their deliverance from the chains of death, the Son of God appeared, declaring liberty
to the captives who had been faithful," Also, this multitude did not include all the wicked.
Specific mention is made of seeing and critically identifying additional Old Testament
personalities: Abel, the first martyr; Seth, one of the mighty ones; Noah, of the flood era;
Shem, the great high priest (Melchizedek); Abraham, the father of the faithful; Isaac,
Jacob; Moses, the great law-giver of Israel; Isaiah, who spoke of the Messiah; Ezekiel;
Daniel; Elias, who appeared on the Mount of Transfiguration; and the prophet Malachi;
"All these and many more, even the prophets who dwelt among the Nephites and testified
of the coming of the Son of God, mingled in the vast assembly"; waiting for deliverance.
Furthermore, Jesus Christ mentions in Matthew 7: 19–23, when asked why Moses permitted
divorce; Jesus Christ declared: "Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered
you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you,
Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another,
committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery."
Isaiah 3 & 4 notes Zion and her daughters will be redeemed and cleansed in the coming
millennial day, by the restoration of polygamy: "And in that day, seven women shall
take hold of one man, saying: We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel;
only let us be called by thy name to take away our reproach"; re: 2 Nephi Chapter 14, as
mentioned in the Book of Mormon; indicating modern day Zion is yet filthy, beforehand.
Since there was no divorce in the beginning, under the ancient patriarchal priesthood,
the unity of family associations would have greatly expanded the number of the children
living upon the earth, down to the time of the period of the administration of prophet Elijah.
Therefore, it is priesthood unrighteous dominion, in the cancellation of Temple Sealings,
or civil divorces, and not genetic DNA, that promotes extreme mental cruelty within lives
of separated posterity; that is the origination of adultery, fornication; all perverted forms
of biological disorientation of the children; a diminished World Population Since Creation.]

                  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-

                  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,

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.

[Research Note:  John 8 mentions concerning Jesus Christ: "And early in the morning
he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down,
and taught them. And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken
in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, They say unto him, Master,
this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act." The Sotah (Talmud) historical reality
of this encounter is testified to within the Sotah, Tractate, as "The Mishnaic Tractate
Soah deals with the trial by ordeal undergone in the Temple by a sotah, a woman
whose husband suspected her of adultery. In particular, the Mishnaic ritual is closer
to the punishment of an adulteress . . . the laws of evidence transform the sotah . . .
to one against whom there is solid evidence of immoral behavior." There is unbinding
of the woman's hair, rending of the woman's garments (currently, LDS temple garments,
or requirements forbidding their use or wearing in the future), and inviting public witness;
or, subject her to buffetings of Satan; a repulsive open abuse; destruction in naked flesh.]

The Priesthood was first given to Adam. He obtained the First Presidency and held
the Keys of it. He obtained it in the creation before the world was formed, and they
remained on the earth until the Old Testament times of Elijah the Prophet; the last
of those prophets to hold the Keys of the Sealing Power of the Melchizedek Priesthood.
All the ancient prophets of the Old Testament times had the Melchizedek Priesthood.
The Order of the Melchizedek Priesthood was formerly called the High Priesthood of
the Holy Order of God, or the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God. It is
the Church of the Firstborn, or glorified Patriarchal Priesthood celestial heir members.
The sealed family is central to the Creator's plan for the eternal destiny of His children.
Old Testament Biblical Records include statements concerning High Priests presiding
in, or holding Priesthood Keys in the Melchizedek Priesthood, as well as Bishops, who
hold the mighty sacred keys over The Aaronic Priesthood: The Ministering of Angels.
Priesthood of Aaron restoration was performed by John the Baptist. The testimony of
Jesus Christ was: This is he, of whom it is written, behold, I send my messenger before
thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. For I say unto you, Among those
that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he
that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. And all the people that heard
him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of dear John.
Thus, we carefully listen to Andrea Bocelli - Angels We Have Heard On High - YouTube™.
Also: Listen to the Voice of Jesus Christ, your Lord, your God, and your Redeemer, whose
word is quick and powerful. And also John the son of Zacharias, which Zacharias he (Elias,
to whom I have committed the keys of bringing to pass the restoration of all things spoken
by the mouth of all the holy prophets since the world began, concerning the last days),
visited and gave promise that he should have a son, and his name should be John,
and he should be filled with the spirit of Elias; Which John I have have sent unto you,
my servants, Joseph Smith, Jun., and Oliver Cowdery, to ordain you unto the first priest-
hood, which you have received, that you might be called and ordained even as Aaron.

What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
[Research Note: RootsTech • FamilySearch was presented 29 Feb 2024 - 02 Mar 2024; it
did "provide meaningful connections through a deeper understanding of family history
and genealogy." Class Schedule Preview shows 27 DNA results. A Search of RootsTech
On-Demand Library reveals an added 289 results. The Science of Molecular Genealogy
suggests: "Molecular science can help genealogists uncover previously unknown family
relationships, verify or refute claims to ancestry, and shed light on questions that have
puzzled family historians for years." There are however, scientific limitations involved,
when considering Latter-day Saint, or Christian belief systems, based upon Bible text;
showing The Internal Consistency and Historical Reliability of the Biblical Genealogies.
Scott Ray Woodward (biologist)] extracted and typed DNA going back millions of years.
Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His EASTER resurrection, validated by LDS (D&C 138),
suggest serious reconsiderations on the actual value of DNA studies, extrapolated back
in temporal time. Foremost of all, What are resurrected bodies like?, declares they are
physical; and thus, no physical bodies upon the earth for molecular science to evaluate.
Moroni, who lived in the fifth century AD, additionally is a physically resurrected being.
So what is left of the ancient molecular past, to scientifically evaluate, are remains from
wicked societies, and social environments, destined for a future Telestial or Terrestrial
eternal existence. All these societies, except for Noah and his family relationships, had
disruptive global flood experiences, degrading and altering their molecular body purity
(as well as a stated corruption of all flesh, intermingled between animals and humans).
Additionally, all spirit is matter, but it is more refined and pure, such that it is infinitely
incapable of being measured by modern technological instruments; nor by DNA data.
God of course knows all of His spirit children, and knows from the beginnings of their
spiritual birth in heaven; thus He knows the past, present and future of the Universe,
knowing beforehand, the beginnings and ends of all the works of His own Creations.

In conclusion then, What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
The Book of Mormon is the greatest primary witness on the face of the earth to validate
the authenticity of the Ancient Biblical Record, with Moroni as the greatest key witness.
The Prophet Moroni testifies emphatically that the Theory of Evolution is so completely
false, as noted in Line upon Line: Moroni 10:3–5. Behold, I would exhort you, that when
ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would
remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation
of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your
hearts. . . . And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things. . . .
The key element of this witness testimony concerning the real mortal existence of Adam,
and the factual evidence of the creation of the earth, and all the subsequent related things
thereto, is clearly stated within The Book of Ether. Moroni specifically abridged the record
of the Jaredites. Therefore, from a professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
he is an intimate, personally involved, eye-witness to this account of those twenty and four
plates which were found by the people of Limhi, which is called the Book of Ether. Moroni
mentions: "And as I suppose that the first part of this record, which speaks concerning the
creation of the world, and also of Adam, and an account from that time even to the great
tower, and whatsoever things transpired among the children of men until that time, is had
among the Jews-- Therefore I do not write those things which transpired from the days of
Adam until that time; but they are had upon the plates; and whoso findeth them, the same
will have power that he may get the full account" (as they are written in Adamic language).
Additionally Legal Records, the Brass Plates, held in the originating possession of Laban,
contained not only the Jewish scriptures, but also Lehi's own genealogy back to Joseph
in Egypt. From a dispassionate, professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
this directly relates to the genealogical Truths taught in 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi, Moroni had
access to the Brass Plates of Laban and knew that those records came forth out of the City
of Jerusalem; and were handed down intact by the seed of originating Nephite father Lehi.
Nevertheless, the very false theory, or secular doctrine of Evolution is currently, and very
openly, and proudly; blatantly expounded upon, by open-minded "scientific" leadership,
from the sacred halls of learning, at Brigham Young University. Yet, Nephi, son of Lehi,
had a vision of great significance, recorded in 1 Nephi 13:20–42: Plain and Precious Truths.
In particular, from a genealogical research standpoint, 1 Nephi 13: 23, the Gentiles, or us,
today, had a book, which an angel from the Throne of God in Heaven declared, stating:
Behold it proceedeth out of the mouth of a Jew (collectively, the ancestry of the Jews).
"The book that thou beholdest is a record of the Jews, which contains the covenants
of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house of Israel (from Old Testament times);
and it also containeth many of the prophecies of the holy prophets; and it is a record
like unto the engravings which are upon the plates of brass, save there are not so many;
nevertheless, they contain the covenants of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house
of Israel; wherefore, they are of great worth unto the Gentiles." Organic Evolution is false.

[Research Note: Calendars are part of record keeping. There is no real physical science
in existence without accurate record keeping, to determine what has transpired in past
events, or real experiments, to determine what is going on in the present, or knowing
what calculated future outcomes will be. True and perfect science is based upon written
testimony, and the testimony of Jesus Christ is the The Spirit of Prophecy: true science.
There are the massive amounts of witnesses verifying the origination of calendar record

Revelation, 27–28 December 1832, Broadsheet [D&C 88:1–126], Page 1 mentions two great

who did communicate the knowledge of the existence of a God, to his posterity; and that
the whole faith of the world, from that time down to the present (now to the 21st Century),

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.

D.  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.
Glossary Topic: Adam-ondi-Ahman - History - Importance - Location - Meeting - Savior.
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.
Parting the Veil: The Visions of Joseph Smith (Contents: The Visions of Joseph Smith).]



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):
(And Adam hearkened unto the voice of God and called upon his sons to repent.
Adam was a preacher of righteousness, and spake and prophesied, and called
upon all men everywhere to repent. And faith was taught unto the children of men.
And then began these men to call upon the name of the Lord, and the Lord blessed
them, 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 . . . JST - Inspired Version)
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.]
[Research Note: Plural Marriage "was believed in and practiced by the ancients"; noted
Brigham Young: Beneficial Effects of Polygamy (Journal of Discourses). As LDS President,
Brigham Young also stated "that if you desire with all your hearts to obtain the blessings
which Abraham obtained, you will be polygamists at least in your faith, or you will come
short of enjoying the salvation and the glory which Abraham has obtained. This is as true
as that God lives. . . . The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those
who enter into polygamy. Others attain unto a glory and may even be permitted to come
into the presence of the Father and the Son (in the Celestial Earth Kingdom; single, or in
a monogamously Temple sealed marriage), but they cannot (fully) reign as kings in glory,
because they had blessings offered unto them (to have power to save their own posterity),
and they refused to accept them." The Power to Seal on Earth and in Heaven remained
actively upon the earth until the days of Elijah the Prophet, one of Messengers with Keys.
Therefore, according to President Brigham Young, Jesus Christ had to have been married
to more than one wife, before he was exalted. Thus, the New Testament does not contain
a complete record of the Saints family relationships. Furthermore, Biblical society clearly
included plural marriage, as it was "believed in and practiced by the ancients", (as three
years previous to the death of Adam, he called Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared,
Enoch, and Methuselah; all just high priests, having the Holy Priesthood, after the Order
of the Son of God, with the residue of his, Adam's righteous posterity, into the green valley
of Adam-ondi-Ahman); which society continued on through Shem, or Melchizedek, the son
of Noah; to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, or Israel; down into the later Christian Gentile era.
This certainly indicates a tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical records, when actually
compared mathematically, with the high number of global inhabitants, in pre-flood times.
Section 138, Vision of the Redemption of the Dead (Doctrine and Covenants 138): "Among
the great and mighty ones who were assembled in this vast congregation of the righteous
were Father Adam, the Ancient of Days and father of all, And our glorious Mother Eve,
with many of her faithful daughters who had lived through the (past Old Testament) ages
and worshiped the true and living God." Adam, or Michael, as the Holy Patriarchal Head
of the Human Family, by Right, has been delegated to hold the keys of the resurrection
of the dead, from Jesus Christ, or Jehovah; having previously passed through that order,
and continuously assists in bringing to pass the crowning of his posterity with immortality,
and eternal lives, under the direction of Son Ahman, the Messiah, Lord of Lords, and King
of Kings. President Joseph F. Smith validates tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical
records,: "I saw the hosts of the dead, both small and great." -- "And there were gathered
together in one place an innumerable company of the spirits of the just who had been
faithful in the testimony of Jesus while they lived in mortality;" "They were assembled
awaiting the advent of the Son of God into the spirit world, to declare their redemption
from the bands of death." (Thus, this would have been an innumerable company of spirits
having lived in Old Testament times, as "Their sleeping dust was to be restored unto its
perfect frame . . .") "While this vast multitude waited and conversed, rejoicing in the hour
of their deliverance from the chains of death, the Son of God appeared, declaring liberty
to the captives who had been faithful," Also, this multitude did not include all the wicked.
Specific mention is made of seeing and critically identifying additional Old Testament
personalities: Abel, the first martyr; Seth, one of the mighty ones; Noah, of the flood era;
Shem, the great high priest (Melchizedek); Abraham, the father of the faithful; Isaac,
Jacob; Moses, the great law-giver of Israel; Isaiah, who spoke of the Messiah; Ezekiel;
Daniel; Elias, who appeared on the Mount of Transfiguration; and the prophet Malachi;
"All these and many more, even the prophets who dwelt among the Nephites and testified
of the coming of the Son of God, mingled in the vast assembly"; waiting for deliverance.
Furthermore, Jesus Christ mentions in Matthew 7: 19–23, when asked why Moses permitted
divorce; Jesus Christ declared: "Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered
you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you,
Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another,
committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery."
Isaiah 3 & 4 notes Zion and her daughters will be redeemed and cleansed in the coming
millennial day, by the restoration of polygamy: "And in that day, seven women shall
take hold of one man, saying: We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel;
only let us be called by thy name to take away our reproach"; re: 2 Nephi Chapter 14, as
mentioned in the Book of Mormon; indicating modern day Zion is yet filthy, beforehand.
Since there was no divorce in the beginning, under the ancient patriarchal priesthood,
the unity of family associations would have greatly expanded the number of the children
living upon the earth, down to the time of the period of the administration of prophet Elijah.
Therefore, it is priesthood unrighteous dominion, in the cancellation of Temple Sealings,
or civil divorces, and not genetic DNA, that promotes extreme mental cruelty within lives
of separated posterity; that is the origination of adultery, fornication; all perverted forms
of biological disorientation of the children; a diminished World Population Since Creation.]

Adamic Language [Research Note: Since God told Adam to give names to all cattle,
to the fowl of the air, to every beast of the field, the language base was extensive;
for whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. This
indicates the true biological foundations of the Tree of Life; and, as the whole earth
was of one language, Adam and Eve taught their posterity written language skills.

[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.

and additions. {Johann Albert Fabricius: Bibliotheca Graeca}] Calculated by mathematics:

geography (location): Adam-ondi-Ahman / 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. 2024).

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, 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.

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. (Thus, for their
own survival, the primary occupation of Adam and Eve, after the Fall,
was related to farming; as they labored together to obtain sustenance
for themselves, as well as for the preservation of their children; by tilling
the ground, or soil, and establishing flocks for food and drink sources, as
well as raw materials to be used in the production of clothing and shelter.
Adam and Eve, and their posterity, were professional agricultural specialists.
Adam had a knowledge of all animal species, having recorded their names.
Additionally, from a religious context, Adam and Eve were tithed; offering
as sacrifices, the firstlings of their flocks, in similitude of the blood offering
of Jesus Christ, who later came into the world, as the Savior of mankind.)
(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.
Adam and Eve were in a state of pure innocence, and they were physically
naked, prior to the Fall. The Garden of Eden was created as an incubator,
that kept their bodies warm, at a particular temperature range and correct
humidity, noting some variation in the Bible, during cool evening breezes;
And they heard the voice of the Lord God, as they were walking in the garden,
in the cool of the day. This indicates the earth at that time was rotating on
its axis, around the Sun. Nevertheless, since there was no death whatsoever,
in the Garden of Eden, there would have been no autumn "falling leaves";
nor, harsh winter weather, to afflict two totally naked individuals, being in
direct contact with Heavenly Father, as well as nurturing Heavenly Mother.
This would indicate no severe seasonal changes occurred, that could have
caused anything similar to desert heat or freezing winter climate changes.
Thus, astronomically, the earth, in the beginning, would not have had its
spin axis tilted with respect to its orbital plane, as this is what presently
causes the seasons; because of the earth's elliptical orbit; with days and
nights being equal in length at all times; And I, the Lord God, took the man,
and put him into the garden of Eden, to dress it, and to keep it. Adam also
was required by commandment to name every living creature that the Lord
God formed out of the ground; all cattle, fowl of the air, and beast of the field.

The Priesthood was first given to Adam. He obtained the First Presidency and held
the Keys of it. He obtained it in the creation before the world was formed, and they
remained on the earth until the Old Testament times of Elijah the Prophet; the last
of those prophets to hold the Keys of the Sealing Power of the Melchizedek Priesthood.
All the ancient prophets of the Old Testament times had the Melchizedek Priesthood.
The Order of the Melchizedek Priesthood was formerly called the High Priesthood of
the Holy Order of God, or the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God. It is
the Church of the Firstborn, or glorified Patriarchal Priesthood celestial heir members.
The sealed family is central to the Creator's plan for the eternal destiny of His children.
Old Testament Biblical Records include statements concerning High Priests presiding
in, or holding Priesthood Keys in the Melchizedek Priesthood, as well as Bishops, who
hold the mighty sacred keys over The Aaronic Priesthood: The Ministering of Angels.
Priesthood of Aaron restoration was performed by John the Baptist. The testimony of
Jesus Christ was: This is he, of whom it is written, behold, I send my messenger before
thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. For I say unto you, Among those
that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he
that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. And all the people that heard
him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of dear John.
Thus, we carefully listen to Andrea Bocelli - Angels We Have Heard On High - YouTube™.
Also: Listen to the Voice of Jesus Christ, your Lord, your God, and your Redeemer, whose
word is quick and powerful. And also John the son of Zacharias, which Zacharias he (Elias,
to whom I have committed the keys of bringing to pass the restoration of all things spoken
by the mouth of all the holy prophets since the world began, concerning the last days),
visited and gave promise that he should have a son, and his name should be John,
and he should be filled with the spirit of Elias; Which John I have have sent unto you,
my servants, Joseph Smith, Jun., and Oliver Cowdery, to ordain you unto the first priest-
hood, which you have received, that you might be called and ordained even as Aaron.

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

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.

What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
[Research Note: RootsTech • FamilySearch was presented 29 Feb 2024 - 02 Mar 2024; it
did "provide meaningful connections through a deeper understanding of family history
and genealogy." Class Schedule Preview shows 27 DNA results. A Search of RootsTech
On-Demand Library reveals an added 289 results. The Science of Molecular Genealogy
suggests: "Molecular science can help genealogists uncover previously unknown family
relationships, verify or refute claims to ancestry, and shed light on questions that have
puzzled family historians for years." There are however, scientific limitations involved,
when considering Latter-day Saint, or Christian belief systems, based upon Bible text;
showing The Internal Consistency and Historical Reliability of the Biblical Genealogies.
Scott Ray Woodward (biologist)] extracted and typed DNA going back millions of years.
Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His EASTER resurrection, validated by LDS (D&C 138),
suggest serious reconsiderations on the actual value of DNA studies, extrapolated back
in temporal time. Foremost of all, What are resurrected bodies like?, declares they are
physical; and thus, no physical bodies upon the earth for molecular science to evaluate.
Moroni, who lived in the fifth century AD, additionally is a physically resurrected being.
So what is left of the ancient molecular past, to scientifically evaluate, are remains from
wicked societies, and social environments, destined for a future Telestial or Terrestrial
eternal existence. All these societies, except for Noah and his family relationships, had
disruptive global flood experiences, degrading and altering their molecular body purity
(as well as a stated corruption of all flesh, intermingled between animals and humans).
Additionally, all spirit is matter, but it is more refined and pure, such that it is infinitely
incapable of being measured by modern technological instruments; nor by DNA data.
God of course knows all of His spirit children, and knows from the beginnings of their
spiritual birth in heaven; thus He knows the past, present and future of the Universe,
knowing beforehand, the beginnings and ends of all the works of His own Creations.

In conclusion then, What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
The Book of Mormon is the greatest primary witness on the face of the earth to validate
the authenticity of the Ancient Biblical Record, with Moroni as the greatest key witness.
The Prophet Moroni testifies emphatically that the Theory of Evolution is so completely
false, as noted in Line upon Line: Moroni 10:3–5. Behold, I would exhort you, that when
ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would
remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation
of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your
hearts. . . . And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things. . . .
The key element of this witness testimony concerning the real mortal existence of Adam,
and the factual evidence of the creation of the earth, and all the subsequent related things
thereto, is clearly stated within The Book of Ether. Moroni specifically abridged the record
of the Jaredites. Therefore, from a professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
he is an intimate, personally involved, eye-witness to this account of those twenty and four
plates which were found by the people of Limhi, which is called the Book of Ether. Moroni
mentions: "And as I suppose that the first part of this record, which speaks concerning the
creation of the world, and also of Adam, and an account from that time even to the great
tower, and whatsoever things transpired among the children of men until that time, is had
among the Jews-- Therefore I do not write those things which transpired from the days of
Adam until that time; but they are had upon the plates; and whoso findeth them, the same
will have power that he may get the full account" (as they are written in Adamic language).
Additionally Legal Records, the Brass Plates, held in the originating possession of Laban,
contained not only the Jewish scriptures, but also Lehi's own genealogy back to Joseph
in Egypt. From a dispassionate, professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
this directly relates to the genealogical Truths taught in 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi, Moroni had
access to the Brass Plates of Laban and knew that those records came forth out of the City
of Jerusalem; and were handed down intact by the seed of originating Nephite father Lehi.
Nevertheless, the very false theory, or secular doctrine of Evolution is currently, and very
openly, and proudly; blatantly expounded upon, by open-minded "scientific" leadership,
from the sacred halls of learning, at Brigham Young University. Yet, Nephi, son of Lehi,
had a vision of great significance, recorded in 1 Nephi 13:20–42: Plain and Precious Truths.
In particular, from a genealogical research standpoint, 1 Nephi 13: 23, the Gentiles, or us,
today, had a book, which an angel from the Throne of God in Heaven declared, stating:
Behold it proceedeth out of the mouth of a Jew (collectively, the ancestry of the Jews).
"The book that thou beholdest is a record of the Jews, which contains the covenants
of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house of Israel (from Old Testament times);
and it also containeth many of the prophecies of the holy prophets; and it is a record
like unto the engravings which are upon the plates of brass, save there are not so many;
nevertheless, they contain the covenants of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house
of Israel; wherefore, they are of great worth unto the Gentiles." Organic Evolution is false.

time period: 4000 B.C. to 3070 B.C. Patriarchs (Bible) - Lifespans
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.

Understanding Historical Dates And Calendars For Genealogical Research
[Research Note: Calendars are part of record keeping. There is no real physical science
in existence without accurate record keeping, to determine what has transpired in past
events, or real experiments, to determine what is going on in the present, or knowing
what calculated future outcomes will be. True and perfect science is based upon written
testimony, and the testimony of Jesus Christ is the The Spirit of Prophecy: true science.
There are the massive amounts of witnesses verifying the origination of calendar record
keeping, before, and since the beginning of time.  References are found in Astronomy /
Astronomy, where records of the fathers contain knowledge of creation: planets, stars.
See references: Book of Remembrance, Knowledge, Record, and Write, Wrote, Written;
for the Lord always commands all men to write all the words which he speaks to them.
Revelation, 27–28 December 1832, Broadsheet [D&C 88:1–126], Page 1 mentions two great
concepts: (1) All kingdoms have a law given; and there are many kingdoms; for there is no
space in the which there is no kingdom; & there is no kingdom in which there is no space,
either a greater or lesser kingdom. And unto every kingdom is given a law; and unto every
law there are certain bounds, also, and conditions. (2) . . . for intelligence cleaveth unto
intelligence . . . judgment goeth before the face of him who sitteth upon the throne,
and governeth and executeth all things; he comprehendeth all things, and all things
are before him, and all things are round about him; and he is above all things, and in
all things, and is through all things, and is round about all things: and all things are
by him, and of him; even God, for ever, and ever. From a viewpoint of heavenly physics
and astronomy: there is no vacuum in the Universe; forever having matter and energy
existing in an intertwined state of being. Furthermore, the Universe is forever in control,
magnifying the Glory of God, within all its elements; condensing disparate intelligences.]

Chronology - JewishEncyclopedia.com
Chronology of the Bible: The chronology of the Bible is an elaborate system
of lifespans, 'generations', and other means by which the Masoretic Hebrew
Bible (the text of the Bible most commonly in use today) measures the passage
of events from the creation to . . . (the year of the re-dedication of the Second
Temple). . . . The passage of time is measured initially by adding the ages of
the Patriarchs at the birth of their firstborn sons, later through express statements,
and later still by the synchronized reigns of the kings of Israel and Judah. Later,
The Great Order of the World, or Seder Olam Rabbah, detailed all the dates of
biblical events from creation to Alexander the Great's conquest of Persia. Thus,
Traditional Jewish Chronology has long preserved a record of dates and time
sequences of important historical events related to the Jewish nation. Josephus
painstakingly listed the complete panoply of Jewish high priests who served
during the Second Temple period and which, by comparison of his dates when
each man officiated as high priest, can be used as a time indicator to determine
the span of time in which the Second Temple had its existence. In Early Jewish
Writings, Flavius Josephus Against Apion. Book I, expounds upon the historical
accuracy and applications of official Ancient handed down record compilations.
Josephus Rejected the Rebellion Against Rome, Why Did He Celebrate Chanukah?

. . . "But now as to our forefathers, that they took no less care about writing such
records, (for I will not say they took greater care than the others I spoke of), and
that they committed that matter to their (Aaronic) high priests and to their prophets,
(Ancient Patriarchal High Priests), and that these records have been written all
along down to our own times with the utmost accuracy, nay, if it be not too bold
for me to say it, our history will be so written hereafter, - I shall endeavor briefly
to inform you. 7. For our forefathers did not only appoint the best of these (Aaronic)
priests, and those that attended upon the Divine worship, for that design from
the beginning, (or, from the time of Adam and Eve), but made provision that the
stock of the (Aaronic) priests should continue unmixed and pure; for he who is
partaker of the priesthood must propagate of a wife of the same nation, without
having any regard to money, or any other dignities, but he is to make a scrutiny,
and take his wife's genealogy  from the ancient (Bible) tables, and procure many
witnesses to it. (7) Of this accuracy of the Jews before and in our Savior's time, in
carefully preserving their genealogies all along, particularly those of the priests,
see Josephus's Life, sect. 1. This accuracy seems to have ended at the destruction
of Jerusalem by Titus, or, however, at that by Adrian." [Further relevant information

Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away The Key of Knowledge, the fulness

Sextus Julius Africanus wrote a history of the world (Chronografiai) and Kestoi
("Embroiderings"), the latter work includes a "Letter to Aristides" on the genealogies
of Christ, of which only fragments are preserved.  "But since the Hebrew families
and those traceable to proselytes, such as Achior the Ammonite . . . , and Ruth the
Moabitess, and the mixed families which had come out of Egypt, had until then been
enrolled . . . in the archives . . . , Herod, because the family of the Israelites contributed
nothing to him, and because he was goaded by his own consciousness of his base birth,
burned the records . . . of their families, thinking to appear noble if no one else was able
by public documents . . . to trace his family to the patriarchs or proselytes, to the so--called
gers . . . of mixed descent." - Jude and the Relatives of Jesus in the Early Church (pdf),
by Richard Bauckham, page 358; from the  Translation of Eusebius - footnote #135.
"The Lukan Genealogy of Jesus" further mentions: "We know that Herod was sensitive
about his Idumaean and therefore only half-Jewish origins, which many Jews regarded
as disqualifying him from legitimate rule over Israel . . . , that his court historian Nicolaus
of Damascus gave him a pure Jewish ancestry . . . presumably as part of an attempt
by Herod himself to conceal his origins, and that his fear of rivals to his throne led
to decimation of the leading Jewish aristocratic families . . ." -  Titus 1: 14
Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.]

Continuing, "And this is our practice not only in Judea, but wheresoever any body of men
of our nation do live, and even there an exact catalogue of our priests' marriages is kept,
I mean at Egypt and at Babylon, or in any other place of the rest of the habitable earth,
whithersoever our priests are scattered, for they send to Jerusalem the ancient names of
their parents in writing, as well as those of their remoter ancestors, and signify who are
the witnesses also." [Research Note: Asenath: Bible | Jewish Women's Archive definitely

made it his business to search for those who believed the Gospel." Joseph Smith, Jr.,
as a direct descendant of the ancient Joseph in Egypt, and according to the patriarchal
law of the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God; it would have been contrary
to family standards to marry out of the pure descendants of the House of Abraham. This
clearly suggests that when Pharaoh honored Joseph. by giving him as a wife, Asenath,
"the daughter of Potiphera, priest from the city of On"; she was a relative of Abraham.
Asenath: Midrash and Aggadah | Jewish Women's Archive addresses this conundrum.
Accordingly, Ephraim and Manasseh are worthy descendents, who continue Jacob's way.

"But if any war falls out, such as have fallen out a great many of them already, . . .
those priests that survive them compose new tables of genealogy out of the old records,
and examine the circumstances of the women that remain, for still they do not admit
of those that have been captives, as suspecting that they had conversation with some
foreigners. But what is the strongest argument of our exact management in this matter
is what I am now going to say, that we have the names of our (Aaronic) high priests
from father to son set down in our records for the interval of two thousand years, and
if any of these have been transgressors of these rules, they are prohibited to present
themselves at the altar, or to be partakers of any other of our purifications, and this
is justly, or rather necessarily done, because every one is not permitted of his own
accord to be a writer, nor is there any disagreement in what is written, they being
only prophets that have written the original and earliest accounts of things as they
learned them of God himself by inspiration, and others have written what happened
in their own times, and that in a very distinct manner also. . . . It is true, our history
hath been written since Artaxerxes very particularly, but hath not been esteemed
of the like authority with the former by our forefathers, because there hath not been
an exact succession of prophets since that time; and how firmly we have given credit
to these books of our own nation is evident by what we do, for during so many ages
as have already passed, no one has been so bold as either to add any thing to them,
to take any thing from them, or to make any change in them; but it is become natural
to all Jews immediately, and from their very birth, to esteem these books to contain
Divine doctrines, and to persist in them, and if occasion be willingly to die for them.
For it is no new thing for our captives, many of them in number, and frequently in time,
to be seen to endure racks and deaths of all kinds upon the theatres, that they may
not be obliged to say one word against our laws and the records that contain them,
whereas there are none at all among the Greeks who would undergo the least harm
on that account, no, nor in case all the writings that are among them were to be
destroyed, for they take them to be such discourses as are framed agreeably to the
inclinations of those that write them; and they have justly the same opinion of the
ancient writers, since they see some of the present generation bold enough to write
about such affairs, wherein they were not present, nor had concern enough to inform
themselves about them from those that knew them, examples of which may be had
in this late war of ours, where some persons have written histories, and published
them, without having been in the places concerned, or having been near them
when the actions were done; but these men put a few things together by hearsay,
and insolently abuse the world, and call these writings by the name of Histories. . . .

I shall begin with the writings of the Egyptians; not indeed of those that have written
in the Egyptian language, which it is impossible for me to do. But Manetho was a man
who by birth an Egyptian, yet had he made himself master of the Greek learning,
as is very evident, for he wrote the history of his own country in the Greek tongue,
by translating it, as he saith himself, out of their sacred records; he also finds great
fault with Herodotus for his ignorance and false relations of Egyptian affairs. Now
this Manetho, in the second book of his Egyptian History, writes concerning us (Jews)
in the following manner. I will set down his very words, as if I were to bring the very
man himself into a court for a witness. . . . This whole nation was styled HYCSOS,
that is, Shepherd-kings: for the first syllable HYC, according to the sacred dialect,
denotes a king, as is SOS a shepherd; . . . in another copy it is said that this word
does not denote Kings, but on the contrary, denotes Captive Shepherds, . . . they built
a city in that country which is now called Judea, and that large enough to contain
this great number of men, (their whole families and effects, not fewer in number than
two hundred and forty thousand), and called it Jerusalem. (9) Now Manetho, in another
book of his, says, "That this nation thus called Shepherds, were also called Captives,
in their sacred books." And this account of his is the truth, for feeding of sheep was
the employment of our forefathers in the most ancient ages (10) and as they led such
a wandering life in feeding sheep, they were called Shepherds. Nor was it without
reason that they were called Captives by the Egyptians, since one of our ancestors,
Joseph, told the king of Egypt that he was a captive, and afterward sent for his brethren
into Egypt by the king's permission. But as for these matters, I shall make a more exact
inquiry about them elsewhere. [Research Note: Abel, one of the sons of Adam and Eve,
is recorded as a keeper of sheep. The Contents of the Plates of Brass further validates
a copy of the Law, or the Five Books of Moses, was historically preserved by the Jews.
What Are the Five Books of Moses? - Chabad.org: the Torah, the foundation of Judaism.
The Book of Mormon mentions the history of the Jews, further confirming the words
of Flavius Josephus, including specifically the prophet Lehi genealogy, to circa 600 B. C.;
indicating from this primary source, that Lehi descended from Joseph's son Manasseh.

Biblical Chronology of the World: Tracing ancient records from Adam to Father Abraham.
"Neither can there be a doubt existing on the mind of any person, that Adam was the first
who did communicate the knowledge of the existence of a God, to his posterity; and that
the whole faith of the world, from that time down to the present (now to the 21st Century),
is in a certain degree, dependent on the knowledge first communicated to them by their
common progenitor; and it has been handed down to the day and generation in which
we live, as we shall show (by Biblical chronology) from the face of the sacred records."

     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, who must have
     been commanded by God, to be married to some of Adam's own female posterity;
     with the full consent and permission of Eve, the originating Mother of all human,
     mortal, living, souls. Line upon Line: Moses 1:39: "For behold, this is my work
     and my glory--to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man."
     [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.]

L.  Antiquities of the Jews - Book I - From the Creation to the Death of Isaac
     "Now when Noah had lived three hundred and fifty years after the Flood, and that
     all that time happily, he died, having lived the number of nine hundred and fifty
     years. But let no one, upon comparing the lives of the ancients with our lives, and
     with the few years which we now live, think that what we have said of them is false;
     or make the shortness of our lives at present an argument, that neither did they attain
     to so long a duration of life, for those ancients were beloved of God, and [lately]
     made by God himself; and because their food was then fitter for the prolongation
     of life, might well live so great a number of years: and besides, God afforded them
     a longer time of life on account of their virtue, and the good use they made of it in
     astronomical and geometrical discoveries, which would not have afforded the time
     of foretelling [the periods of the stars] unless they had lived six hundred years; for
     the Great Year is completed in that interval. Now I have for witnesses to what I have
     said, all those that have written Antiquities, both among the Greeks and barbarians;
     for even Manetho, who wrote the Egyptian History, and Berosus, who collected the
     Chaldean Monuments, and Mochus, and Hestieus, and besides these, Hieronymus
     the Egyptian, and those who composed the Phoenician History, agree to what I here
     say: Hesiod also, and Hecatseus, Hellanicus, and Acusilaus; and besides these,
     Ephorus and Nicolaus relate that the ancients lived a thousand years. But as to these
     matters, let every one look upon them as he thinks fit."  [Research Note: One Day in
     the process of Creation, to God Ahman on Kolob, is equivalent to 1,000 earth years.
     Berossus, or Berosus, circa 3rd century B. C., reckoned time in intervals of 60, 600,
     and 3600 years: a base-60 (Sexagesimal system); with 5 as one of the prime numbers.
     The number of seconds in minute, the number of minutes in an hour is also base-60.
     Grammar and Alphabet of the Egyptian Language, circa July–circa November 1835,
     has characters arranged into five degrees; being arranged differently in each part.
     Mathematics/Astronomy - Wikiversity, shows that Altitude (Alt), sometimes referred
     to as elevation, is the angle between the object and the observer's local horizon. It
     is expressed as an angle between 0 degrees to 90 degrees; and 5 divides into 90
     degrees = 18 times; and that 6 divides into 90 degrees = 15 times. Now, the Behenian
     fixed stars are a selection of fifteen stars considered especially useful for magical
     applications in the medieval astrology of Europe and the Arab world; each is also
     connected with a gemstone and plant; and when a planet was within six degrees
     of an associated star, this influence was thought to be particularly strong. However,
     Facsimile 2,  from the Book of Abraham, notes Fig. 3. Is made to represent God,
     sitting upon his throne, clothed with power and authority; with a crown of eternal
     light upon his head, representing also the grand Key-words of the Holy Priesthood,
     as revealed to Adam in the Garden of Eden, as also to Seth, Noah, Melchizedek,
     Abraham, and all to whom the Priesthood was revealed (listed in Patriarchal Order).
     There were six days given in the scriptures for the creation of this earth by Elohim:
     The heads of the Gods, or, the head one of the Gods, appointed one God for us.
     And, the Sun, borrows its light from Kolob through the medium of Kae-e-vanrash,
     which is the grand Key, or in other words, the governing power, which governs
     fifteen (15) other fixed planets or stars, as also Floeese or the Moon, the Earth,
     and the Sun in their annual revolutions. The Ancient Jewish Urim and Thummim
     had the names of the twelve (12) Tribes engraved on the breastpiece, to which
     were added those of the three covenant Patriarchs: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob;
     together with the word shevet ("tribe") so as to encompass the whole alphabet;
     thus representing the (3) Patriarchal High Priest Heads of the full House of Israel;
     and the Priestly Breastplate, having individual Tribal gemstones, or The Jewels;
     linguistically together in oracle revelations, mathematically and astronomically.
     A full shadow of the Earth on the Moon has an apparent radius of curvature equal
     to the difference between the apparent radii of the Earth and the Sun as seen from
     the Moon. This radius can be seen to be equal to 0.75 degree, from which (with the
     solar apparent radius 0.25 degree) we get an Earth apparent radius of 1 degree.
     This yields for the Earth-Moon distance 60 Earth radii of 384,000 km. This procedure
     was first used by Aristarchus of Samos and Hipparchus; and later, Ptolemy's works.

M. (red earth) Adam - Smith's Bible Dictionary -
     (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.

004:   SETH (the son of ADAM)

Family of Seth (a Sons Ahman): (And God revealed himself unto Seth, and he rebelled
not, but offered an acceptable sacrifice like unto his brother Abel. Seth was a preacher
of righteousness, and spake and prophesied, and called upon all men everywhere to
repent. And faith was taught unto the children of men. And then began these men to call
upon the name of the Lord, and the Lord blessed them, 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 . . .
Seth taught his son Enos in the ways of God. JST - Inspired Version)

Marriage: [The History of the Development of Genealogical DNA
does not begin with the handed down Jewish Torah (Biblical) documents,
but with statements contained within the Pearl of Great Price. - Google Groups]

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.]
[Research Note: Plural Marriage "was believed in and practiced by the ancients"; noted
Brigham Young: Beneficial Effects of Polygamy (Journal of Discourses). As LDS President,
Brigham Young also stated "that if you desire with all your hearts to obtain the blessings
which Abraham obtained, you will be polygamists at least in your faith, or you will come
short of enjoying the salvation and the glory which Abraham has obtained. This is as true
as that God lives. . . . The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those
who enter into polygamy. Others attain unto a glory and may even be permitted to come
into the presence of the Father and the Son (in the Celestial Earth Kingdom; single, or in
a monogamously Temple sealed marriage), but they cannot (fully) reign as kings in glory,
because they had blessings offered unto them (to have power to save their own posterity),
and they refused to accept them." The Power to Seal on Earth and in Heaven remained
actively upon the earth until the days of Elijah the Prophet, one of Messengers with Keys.
Therefore, according to President Brigham Young, Jesus Christ had to have been married
to more than one wife, before he was exalted. Thus, the New Testament does not contain
a complete record of the Saints family relationships. Furthermore, Biblical society clearly
included plural marriage, as it was "believed in and practiced by the ancients", (as three
years previous to the death of Adam, he called Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared,
Enoch, and Methuselah; all just high priests, having the Holy Priesthood, after the Order
of the Son of God, with the residue of his, Adam's righteous posterity, into the green valley
of Adam-ondi-Ahman); which society continued on through Shem, or Melchizedek, the son
of Noah; to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, or Israel; down into the later Christian Gentile era.
This certainly indicates a tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical records, when actually
compared mathematically, with the high number of global inhabitants, in pre-flood times.
Section 138, Vision of the Redemption of the Dead (Doctrine and Covenants 138): "Among
the great and mighty ones who were assembled in this vast congregation of the righteous
were Father Adam, the Ancient of Days and father of all, And our glorious Mother Eve,
with many of her faithful daughters who had lived through the (past Old Testament) ages
and worshiped the true and living God." Adam, or Michael, as the Holy Patriarchal Head
of the Human Family, by Right, has been delegated to hold the keys of the resurrection
of the dead, from Jesus Christ, or Jehovah; having previously passed through that order,
and continuously assists in bringing to pass the crowning of his posterity with immortality,
and eternal lives, under the direction of Son Ahman, the Messiah, Lord of Lords, and King
of Kings. President Joseph F. Smith validates tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical
records,: "I saw the hosts of the dead, both small and great." -- "And there were gathered
together in one place an innumerable company of the spirits of the just who had been
faithful in the testimony of Jesus while they lived in mortality;" "They were assembled
awaiting the advent of the Son of God into the spirit world, to declare their redemption
from the bands of death." (Thus, this would have been an innumerable company of spirits
having lived in Old Testament times, as "Their sleeping dust was to be restored unto its
perfect frame . . .") "While this vast multitude waited and conversed, rejoicing in the hour
of their deliverance from the chains of death, the Son of God appeared, declaring liberty
to the captives who had been faithful," Also, this multitude did not include all the wicked.
Specific mention is made of seeing and critically identifying additional Old Testament
personalities: Abel, the first martyr; Seth, one of the mighty ones; Noah, of the flood era;
Shem, the great high priest (Melchizedek); Abraham, the father of the faithful; Isaac,
Jacob; Moses, the great law-giver of Israel; Isaiah, who spoke of the Messiah; Ezekiel;
Daniel; Elias, who appeared on the Mount of Transfiguration; and the prophet Malachi;
"All these and many more, even the prophets who dwelt among the Nephites and testified
of the coming of the Son of God, mingled in the vast assembly"; waiting for deliverance.
Furthermore, Jesus Christ mentions in Matthew 7: 19–23, when asked why Moses permitted
divorce; Jesus Christ declared: "Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered
you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you,
Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another,
committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery."
Isaiah 3 & 4 notes Zion and her daughters will be redeemed and cleansed in the coming
millennial day, by the restoration of polygamy: "And in that day, seven women shall
take hold of one man, saying: We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel;
only let us be called by thy name to take away our reproach"; re: 2 Nephi Chapter 14, as
mentioned in the Book of Mormon; indicating modern day Zion is yet filthy, beforehand.
Since there was no divorce in the beginning, under the ancient patriarchal priesthood,
the unity of family associations would have greatly expanded the number of the children
living upon the earth, down to the time of the period of the administration of prophet Elijah.
Therefore, it is priesthood unrighteous dominion, in the cancellation of Temple Sealings,
or civil divorces, and not genetic DNA, that promotes extreme mental cruelty within lives
of separated posterity; that is the origination of adultery, fornication; all perverted forms
of biological disorientation of the children; a diminished World Population Since Creation.]

About: Abel: (Letter to the Church, circa March 1834, Page 143)
"It must be the shedding of the blood of the Only Begotten to atone for man; for this
was the plan of redemption; and without the shedding of blood was no remission;
and as the sacrifice was instituted for a type, by which man was to discern the great
Sacrifice which God had prepared; to offer a sacrifice contrary to that, no faith could
be exercised, because redemption was not purchased in that way, nor the power of
atonement instituted after that order; consequently, Cain could have no faith: (because
Cain brought to the LORD an offering of the fruit of the ground, which was an intentional,
open blasphemy against the sacrifice of the Messiah) and whatsoever is not of faith is sin."

The Priesthood was first given to Adam. He obtained the First Presidency and held
the Keys of it. He obtained it in the creation before the world was formed, and they
remained on the earth until the Old Testament times of Elijah the Prophet; the last
of those prophets to hold the Keys of the Sealing Power of the Melchizedek Priesthood.
All the ancient prophets of the Old Testament times had the Melchizedek Priesthood.
The Order of the Melchizedek Priesthood was formerly called the High Priesthood of
the Holy Order of God, or the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God. It is
the Church of the Firstborn, or glorified Patriarchal Priesthood celestial heir members.
The sealed family is central to the Creator's plan for the eternal destiny of His children.
Old Testament Biblical Records include statements concerning High Priests presiding
in, or holding Priesthood Keys in the Melchizedek Priesthood, as well as Bishops, who
hold the mighty sacred keys over The Aaronic Priesthood: The Ministering of Angels.
Priesthood of Aaron restoration was performed by John the Baptist. The testimony of
Jesus Christ was: This is he, of whom it is written, behold, I send my messenger before
thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. For I say unto you, Among those
that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he
that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. And all the people that heard
him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of dear John.
Thus, we carefully listen to Andrea Bocelli - Angels We Have Heard On High - YouTube™.
Also: Listen to the Voice of Jesus Christ, your Lord, your God, and your Redeemer, whose
word is quick and powerful. And also John the son of Zacharias, which Zacharias he (Elias,
to whom I have committed the keys of bringing to pass the restoration of all things spoken
by the mouth of all the holy prophets since the world began, concerning the last days),
visited and gave promise that he should have a son, and his name should be John,
and he should be filled with the spirit of Elias; Which John I have have sent unto you,
my servants, Joseph Smith, Jun., and Oliver Cowdery, to ordain you unto the first priest-
hood, which you have received, that you might be called and ordained even as Aaron.

D&C 107: 42  Seth was ordained by Adam at the age of sixty-nine years, and
was blessed by him three years previous to his (Adam's) death, and received
the promise of God by his father, that his posterity should be the chosen of the
Lord, and that they should be preserved unto the end of the earth.
D&C 107: 10  Seth was a High Priest D&C 107: 3 in the Holy Priesthood,
after the Order of the Son of God.

What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
[Research Note: RootsTech • FamilySearch was presented 29 Feb 2024 - 02 Mar 2024; it
did "provide meaningful connections through a deeper understanding of family history
and genealogy." Class Schedule Preview shows 27 DNA results. A Search of RootsTech
On-Demand Library reveals an added 289 results. The Science of Molecular Genealogy
suggests: "Molecular science can help genealogists uncover previously unknown family
relationships, verify or refute claims to ancestry, and shed light on questions that have
puzzled family historians for years." There are however, scientific limitations involved,
when considering Latter-day Saint, or Christian belief systems, based upon Bible text;
showing The Internal Consistency and Historical Reliability of the Biblical Genealogies.
Scott Ray Woodward (biologist)] extracted and typed DNA going back millions of years.
Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His EASTER resurrection, validated by LDS (D&C 138),
suggest serious reconsiderations on the actual value of DNA studies, extrapolated back
in temporal time. Foremost of all, What are resurrected bodies like?, declares they are
physical; and thus, no physical bodies upon the earth for molecular science to evaluate.
Moroni, who lived in the fifth century AD, additionally is a physically resurrected being.
So what is left of the ancient molecular past, to scientifically evaluate, are remains from
wicked societies, and social environments, destined for a future Telestial or Terrestrial
eternal existence. All these societies, except for Noah and his family relationships, had
disruptive global flood experiences, degrading and altering their molecular body purity
(as well as a stated corruption of all flesh, intermingled between animals and humans).
Additionally, all spirit is matter, but it is more refined and pure, such that it is infinitely
incapable of being measured by modern technological instruments; nor by DNA data.
God of course knows all of His spirit children, and knows from the beginnings of their
spiritual birth in heaven; thus He knows the past, present and future of the Universe,
knowing beforehand, the beginnings and ends of all the works of His own Creations.

In conclusion then, What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
The Book of Mormon is the greatest primary witness on the face of the earth to validate
the authenticity of the Ancient Biblical Record, with Moroni as the greatest key witness.
The Prophet Moroni testifies emphatically that the Theory of Evolution is so completely
false, as noted in Line upon Line: Moroni 10:3–5. Behold, I would exhort you, that when
ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would
remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation
of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your
hearts. . . . And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things. . . .
The key element of this witness testimony concerning the real mortal existence of Adam,
and the factual evidence of the creation of the earth, and all the subsequent related things
thereto, is clearly stated within The Book of Ether. Moroni specifically abridged the record
of the Jaredites. Therefore, from a professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
he is an intimate, personally involved, eye-witness to this account of those twenty and four
plates which were found by the people of Limhi, which is called the Book of Ether. Moroni
mentions: "And as I suppose that the first part of this record, which speaks concerning the
creation of the world, and also of Adam, and an account from that time even to the great
tower, and whatsoever things transpired among the children of men until that time, is had
among the Jews-- Therefore I do not write those things which transpired from the days of
Adam until that time; but they are had upon the plates; and whoso findeth them, the same
will have power that he may get the full account" (as they are written in Adamic language).
Additionally Legal Records, the Brass Plates, held in the originating possession of Laban,
contained not only the Jewish scriptures, but also Lehi's own genealogy back to Joseph
in Egypt. From a dispassionate, professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
this directly relates to the genealogical Truths taught in 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi, Moroni had
access to the Brass Plates of Laban and knew that those records came forth out of the City
of Jerusalem; and were handed down intact by the seed of originating Nephite father Lehi.
Nevertheless, the very false theory, or secular doctrine of Evolution is currently, and very
openly, and proudly; blatantly expounded upon, by open-minded "scientific" leadership,
from the sacred halls of learning, at Brigham Young University. Yet, Nephi, son of Lehi,
had a vision of great significance, recorded in 1 Nephi 13:20–42: Plain and Precious Truths.
In particular, from a genealogical research standpoint, 1 Nephi 13: 23, the Gentiles, or us,
today, had a book, which an angel from the Throne of God in Heaven declared, stating:
Behold it proceedeth out of the mouth of a Jew (collectively, the ancestry of the Jews).
"The book that thou beholdest is a record of the Jews, which contains the covenants
of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house of Israel (from Old Testament times);
and it also containeth many of the prophecies of the holy prophets; and it is a record
like unto the engravings which are upon the plates of brass, save there are not so many;
nevertheless, they contain the covenants of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house
of Israel; wherefore, they are of great worth unto the Gentiles." Organic Evolution is false.

[Research Note: Calendars are part of record keeping. There is no real physical science
in existence without accurate record keeping, to determine what has transpired in past
events, or real experiments, to determine what is going on in the present, or knowing
what calculated future outcomes will be. True and perfect science is based upon written
testimony, and the testimony of Jesus Christ is the The Spirit of Prophecy: true science.
There are the massive amounts of witnesses verifying the origination of calendar record
keeping, before, and since the beginning of time.  References are found in Astronomy /

Revelation, 27–28 December 1832, Broadsheet [D&C 88:1–126], Page 1 mentions two great
concepts: (1) All kingdoms have a law given; and there are many kingdoms; for there is no
space in the which there is no kingdom; & there is no kingdom in which there is no space,
either a greater or lesser kingdom. And unto every kingdom is given a law; and unto every
law there are certain bounds, also, and conditions. (2) . . . for intelligence cleaveth unto
intelligence . . . judgment goeth before the face of him who sitteth upon the throne,
and governeth and executeth all things; he comprehendeth all things, and all things
are before him, and all things are round about him; and he is above all things, and in
all things, and is through all things, and is round about all things: and all things are
by him, and of him; even God, for ever, and ever. From a viewpoint of heavenly physics
and astronomy: there is no vacuum in the Universe; forever having matter and energy
existing in an intertwined state of being. Furthermore, the Universe is forever in control,
magnifying the Glory of God, within all its elements; condensing disparate intelligences.]

     with the few years which we now live, think that what we have said of them is false;
     or make the shortness of our lives at present an argument, that neither did they attain
     to so long a duration of life, for those ancients were beloved of God, and [lately]
     made by God himself; and because their food was then fitter for the prolongation
     of life, might well live so great a number of years: and besides, God afforded them
     a longer time of life on account of their virtue, and the good use they made of it in

005:   ENOS (the son of SETH)

Family of Enos: (Enos was a preacher of righteousness, and spake and prophesied,
and called upon all men everywhere to repent. And faith was taught unto the children
of men. And then began these men to call upon the name of the Lord, and the Lord
blessed them, 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 . . .
And the children of men were numerous upon all the face of the (undivided) land.
And in those days, Satan had great dominion among men and raged in their hearts,
and from thenceforth came wars and bloodshed. And a man's hand was against his
own brother in administering death because of secret works, seeking for power. . . .
And Enos and the residue of the people of God came out from the land which was
called Shulon and dwelt in a land of promise, which he called after his own son,
whom he had named Cainan. JST - Inspired Version)

Marriage:

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.]
[Research Note: Plural Marriage "was believed in and practiced by the ancients"; noted
Brigham Young: Beneficial Effects of Polygamy (Journal of Discourses). As LDS President,
Brigham Young also stated "that if you desire with all your hearts to obtain the blessings
which Abraham obtained, you will be polygamists at least in your faith, or you will come
short of enjoying the salvation and the glory which Abraham has obtained. This is as true
as that God lives. . . . The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those
who enter into polygamy. Others attain unto a glory and may even be permitted to come
into the presence of the Father and the Son (in the Celestial Earth Kingdom; single, or in
a monogamously Temple sealed marriage), but they cannot (fully) reign as kings in glory,
because they had blessings offered unto them (to have power to save their own posterity),
and they refused to accept them." The Power to Seal on Earth and in Heaven remained
actively upon the earth until the days of Elijah the Prophet, one of Messengers with Keys.
Therefore, according to President Brigham Young, Jesus Christ had to have been married
to more than one wife, before he was exalted. Thus, the New Testament does not contain
a complete record of the Saints family relationships. Furthermore, Biblical society clearly
included plural marriage, as it was "believed in and practiced by the ancients", (as three
years previous to the death of Adam, he called Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared,
Enoch, and Methuselah; all just high priests, having the Holy Priesthood, after the Order
of the Son of God, with the residue of his, Adam's righteous posterity, into the green valley
of Adam-ondi-Ahman); which society continued on through Shem, or Melchizedek, the son
of Noah; to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, or Israel; down into the later Christian Gentile era.
This certainly indicates a tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical records, when actually
compared mathematically, with the high number of global inhabitants, in pre-flood times.
Section 138, Vision of the Redemption of the Dead (Doctrine and Covenants 138): "Among
the great and mighty ones who were assembled in this vast congregation of the righteous
were Father Adam, the Ancient of Days and father of all, And our glorious Mother Eve,
with many of her faithful daughters who had lived through the (past Old Testament) ages
and worshiped the true and living God." Adam, or Michael, as the Holy Patriarchal Head
of the Human Family, by Right, has been delegated to hold the keys of the resurrection
of the dead, from Jesus Christ, or Jehovah; having previously passed through that order,
and continuously assists in bringing to pass the crowning of his posterity with immortality,
and eternal lives, under the direction of Son Ahman, the Messiah, Lord of Lords, and King
of Kings. President Joseph F. Smith validates tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical
records,: "I saw the hosts of the dead, both small and great." -- "And there were gathered
together in one place an innumerable company of the spirits of the just who had been
faithful in the testimony of Jesus while they lived in mortality;" "They were assembled
awaiting the advent of the Son of God into the spirit world, to declare their redemption
from the bands of death." (Thus, this would have been an innumerable company of spirits
having lived in Old Testament times, as "Their sleeping dust was to be restored unto its
perfect frame . . .") "While this vast multitude waited and conversed, rejoicing in the hour
of their deliverance from the chains of death, the Son of God appeared, declaring liberty
to the captives who had been faithful," Also, this multitude did not include all the wicked.
Specific mention is made of seeing and critically identifying additional Old Testament
personalities: Abel, the first martyr; Seth, one of the mighty ones; Noah, of the flood era;
Shem, the great high priest (Melchizedek); Abraham, the father of the faithful; Isaac,
Jacob; Moses, the great law-giver of Israel; Isaiah, who spoke of the Messiah; Ezekiel;
Daniel; Elias, who appeared on the Mount of Transfiguration; and the prophet Malachi;
"All these and many more, even the prophets who dwelt among the Nephites and testified
of the coming of the Son of God, mingled in the vast assembly"; waiting for deliverance.
Furthermore, Jesus Christ mentions in Matthew 7: 19–23, when asked why Moses permitted
divorce; Jesus Christ declared: "Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered
you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you,
Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another,
committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery."
Isaiah 3 & 4 notes Zion and her daughters will be redeemed and cleansed in the coming
millennial day, by the restoration of polygamy: "And in that day, seven women shall
take hold of one man, saying: We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel;
only let us be called by thy name to take away our reproach"; re: 2 Nephi Chapter 14, as
mentioned in the Book of Mormon; indicating modern day Zion is yet filthy, beforehand.
Since there was no divorce in the beginning, under the ancient patriarchal priesthood,
the unity of family associations would have greatly expanded the number of the children
living upon the earth, down to the time of the period of the administration of prophet Elijah.
Therefore, it is priesthood unrighteous dominion, in the cancellation of Temple Sealings,
or civil divorces, and not genetic DNA, that promotes extreme mental cruelty within lives
of separated posterity; that is the origination of adultery, fornication; all perverted forms
of biological disorientation of the children; a diminished World Population Since Creation.]

The Priesthood was first given to Adam. He obtained the First Presidency and held
the Keys of it. He obtained it in the creation before the world was formed, and they
remained on the earth until the Old Testament times of Elijah the Prophet; the last
of those prophets to hold the Keys of the Sealing Power of the Melchizedek Priesthood.
All the ancient prophets of the Old Testament times had the Melchizedek Priesthood.
The Order of the Melchizedek Priesthood was formerly called the High Priesthood of
the Holy Order of God, or the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God. It is
the Church of the Firstborn, or glorified Patriarchal Priesthood celestial heir members.
The sealed family is central to the Creator's plan for the eternal destiny of His children.
Old Testament Biblical Records include statements concerning High Priests presiding
in, or holding Priesthood Keys in the Melchizedek Priesthood, as well as Bishops, who
hold the mighty sacred keys over The Aaronic Priesthood: The Ministering of Angels.
Priesthood of Aaron restoration was performed by John the Baptist. The testimony of
Jesus Christ was: This is he, of whom it is written, behold, I send my messenger before
thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. For I say unto you, Among those
that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he
that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. And all the people that heard
him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of dear John.
Thus, we carefully listen to Andrea Bocelli - Angels We Have Heard On High - YouTube™.
Also: Listen to the Voice of Jesus Christ, your Lord, your God, and your Redeemer, whose
word is quick and powerful. And also John the son of Zacharias, which Zacharias he (Elias,
to whom I have committed the keys of bringing to pass the restoration of all things spoken
by the mouth of all the holy prophets since the world began, concerning the last days),
visited and gave promise that he should have a son, and his name should be John,
and he should be filled with the spirit of Elias; Which John I have have sent unto you,
my servants, Joseph Smith, Jun., and Oliver Cowdery, to ordain you unto the first priest-
hood, which you have received, that you might be called and ordained even as Aaron.

D&C 107: 44  Enos was ordained at the age of one hundred and thirty-four
years and four months, by the hand of Adam.
D&C 107: 53  Enos was a High Priest D&C 107: 3 in the Holy Priesthood,
after the Order of the Son of God.

What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
[Research Note: RootsTech • FamilySearch was presented 29 Feb 2024 - 02 Mar 2024; it
did "provide meaningful connections through a deeper understanding of family history
and genealogy." Class Schedule Preview shows 27 DNA results. A Search of RootsTech
On-Demand Library reveals an added 289 results. The Science of Molecular Genealogy
suggests: "Molecular science can help genealogists uncover previously unknown family
relationships, verify or refute claims to ancestry, and shed light on questions that have
puzzled family historians for years." There are however, scientific limitations involved,
when considering Latter-day Saint, or Christian belief systems, based upon Bible text;
showing The Internal Consistency and Historical Reliability of the Biblical Genealogies.
Scott Ray Woodward (biologist)] extracted and typed DNA going back millions of years.
Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His EASTER resurrection, validated by LDS (D&C 138),
suggest serious reconsiderations on the actual value of DNA studies, extrapolated back
in temporal time. Foremost of all, What are resurrected bodies like?, declares they are
physical; and thus, no physical bodies upon the earth for molecular science to evaluate.
Moroni, who lived in the fifth century AD, additionally is a physically resurrected being.
So what is left of the ancient molecular past, to scientifically evaluate, are remains from
wicked societies, and social environments, destined for a future Telestial or Terrestrial
eternal existence. All these societies, except for Noah and his family relationships, had
disruptive global flood experiences, degrading and altering their molecular body purity
(as well as a stated corruption of all flesh, intermingled between animals and humans).
Additionally, all spirit is matter, but it is more refined and pure, such that it is infinitely
incapable of being measured by modern technological instruments; nor by DNA data.
God of course knows all of His spirit children, and knows from the beginnings of their
spiritual birth in heaven; thus He knows the past, present and future of the Universe,
knowing beforehand, the beginnings and ends of all the works of His own Creations.

In conclusion then, What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
The Book of Mormon is the greatest primary witness on the face of the earth to validate
the authenticity of the Ancient Biblical Record, with Moroni as the greatest key witness.
The Prophet Moroni testifies emphatically that the Theory of Evolution is so completely
false, as noted in Line upon Line: Moroni 10:3–5. Behold, I would exhort you, that when
ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would
remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation
of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your
hearts. . . . And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things. . . .
The key element of this witness testimony concerning the real mortal existence of Adam,
and the factual evidence of the creation of the earth, and all the subsequent related things
thereto, is clearly stated within The Book of Ether. Moroni specifically abridged the record
of the Jaredites. Therefore, from a professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
he is an intimate, personally involved, eye-witness to this account of those twenty and four
plates which were found by the people of Limhi, which is called the Book of Ether. Moroni
mentions: "And as I suppose that the first part of this record, which speaks concerning the
creation of the world, and also of Adam, and an account from that time even to the great
tower, and whatsoever things transpired among the children of men until that time, is had
among the Jews-- Therefore I do not write those things which transpired from the days of
Adam until that time; but they are had upon the plates; and whoso findeth them, the same
will have power that he may get the full account" (as they are written in Adamic language).
Additionally Legal Records, the Brass Plates, held in the originating possession of Laban,
contained not only the Jewish scriptures, but also Lehi's own genealogy back to Joseph
in Egypt. From a dispassionate, professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
this directly relates to the genealogical Truths taught in 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi, Moroni had
access to the Brass Plates of Laban and knew that those records came forth out of the City
of Jerusalem; and were handed down intact by the seed of originating Nephite father Lehi.
Nevertheless, the very false theory, or secular doctrine of Evolution is currently, and very
openly, and proudly; blatantly expounded upon, by open-minded "scientific" leadership,
from the sacred halls of learning, at Brigham Young University. Yet, Nephi, son of Lehi,
had a vision of great significance, recorded in 1 Nephi 13:20–42: Plain and Precious Truths.
In particular, from a genealogical research standpoint, 1 Nephi 13: 23, the Gentiles, or us,
today, had a book, which an angel from the Throne of God in Heaven declared, stating:
Behold it proceedeth out of the mouth of a Jew (collectively, the ancestry of the Jews).
"The book that thou beholdest is a record of the Jews, which contains the covenants
of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house of Israel (from Old Testament times);
and it also containeth many of the prophecies of the holy prophets; and it is a record
like unto the engravings which are upon the plates of brass, save there are not so many;
nevertheless, they contain the covenants of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house
of Israel; wherefore, they are of great worth unto the Gentiles." Organic Evolution is false.

Understanding Historical Dates And Calendars For Genealogical Research
[Research Note: Calendars are part of record keeping. There is no real physical science
in existence without accurate record keeping, to determine what has transpired in past
events, or real experiments, to determine what is going on in the present, or knowing
what calculated future outcomes will be. True and perfect science is based upon written
testimony, and the testimony of Jesus Christ is the The Spirit of Prophecy: true science.
There are the massive amounts of witnesses verifying the origination of calendar record
keeping, before, and since the beginning of time.  References are found in Astronomy /
Astronomy, where records of the fathers contain knowledge of creation: planets, stars.
See references: Book of Remembrance, Knowledge, Record, and Write, Wrote, Written;
for the Lord always commands all men to write all the words which he speaks to them.
Revelation, 27–28 December 1832, Broadsheet [D&C 88:1–126], Page 1 mentions two great
concepts: (1) All kingdoms have a law given; and there are many kingdoms; for there is no
space in the which there is no kingdom; & there is no kingdom in which there is no space,
either a greater or lesser kingdom. And unto every kingdom is given a law; and unto every
law there are certain bounds, also, and conditions. (2) . . . for intelligence cleaveth unto
intelligence . . . judgment goeth before the face of him who sitteth upon the throne,
and governeth and executeth all things; he comprehendeth all things, and all things
are before him, and all things are round about him; and he is above all things, and in
all things, and is through all things, and is round about all things: and all things are
by him, and of him; even God, for ever, and ever. From a viewpoint of heavenly physics
and astronomy: there is no vacuum in the Universe; forever having matter and energy
existing in an intertwined state of being. Furthermore, the Universe is forever in control,
magnifying the Glory of God, within all its elements; condensing disparate intelligences.]

     with the few years which we now live, think that what we have said of them is false;
     or make the shortness of our lives at present an argument, that neither did they attain
     to so long a duration of life, for those ancients were beloved of God, and [lately]
     made by God himself; and because their food was then fitter for the prolongation
     of life, might well live so great a number of years: and besides, God afforded them
     a longer time of life on account of their virtue, and the good use they made of it in

006:   CAINAN - KENAN (the son of ENOS)

Family of Cainan - Kenan: (Cainan - Kenan was a preacher of righteousness,
and spake and prophesied, and called upon all men everywhere to repent.
And faith was taught unto the children of men. And then began these men
to call upon the name of the Lord, and the Lord blessed them, 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 . . . JST - Inspired Version)
Kenan: Cainan (Cainan) Kenan / Cainan |

Marriage: [Gilbert Burrington (author): Notes on Table I. (o); on page 5, that Syneellus,
in his Chronograph, p. 11, attributes a wife to Cainan called Maleth.]

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.]
[Research Note: Plural Marriage "was believed in and practiced by the ancients"; noted
Brigham Young: Beneficial Effects of Polygamy (Journal of Discourses). As LDS President,
Brigham Young also stated "that if you desire with all your hearts to obtain the blessings
which Abraham obtained, you will be polygamists at least in your faith, or you will come
short of enjoying the salvation and the glory which Abraham has obtained. This is as true
as that God lives. . . . The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those
who enter into polygamy. Others attain unto a glory and may even be permitted to come
into the presence of the Father and the Son (in the Celestial Earth Kingdom; single, or in
a monogamously Temple sealed marriage), but they cannot (fully) reign as kings in glory,
because they had blessings offered unto them (to have power to save their own posterity),
and they refused to accept them." The Power to Seal on Earth and in Heaven remained
actively upon the earth until the days of Elijah the Prophet, one of Messengers with Keys.
Therefore, according to President Brigham Young, Jesus Christ had to have been married
to more than one wife, before he was exalted. Thus, the New Testament does not contain
a complete record of the Saints family relationships. Furthermore, Biblical society clearly
included plural marriage, as it was "believed in and practiced by the ancients", (as three
years previous to the death of Adam, he called Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared,
Enoch, and Methuselah; all just high priests, having the Holy Priesthood, after the Order
of the Son of God, with the residue of his, Adam's righteous posterity, into the green valley
of Adam-ondi-Ahman); which society continued on through Shem, or Melchizedek, the son
of Noah; to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, or Israel; down into the later Christian Gentile era.
This certainly indicates a tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical records, when actually
compared mathematically, with the high number of global inhabitants, in pre-flood times.
Section 138, Vision of the Redemption of the Dead (Doctrine and Covenants 138): "Among
the great and mighty ones who were assembled in this vast congregation of the righteous
were Father Adam, the Ancient of Days and father of all, And our glorious Mother Eve,
with many of her faithful daughters who had lived through the (past Old Testament) ages
and worshiped the true and living God." Adam, or Michael, as the Holy Patriarchal Head
of the Human Family, by Right, has been delegated to hold the keys of the resurrection
of the dead, from Jesus Christ, or Jehovah; having previously passed through that order,
and continuously assists in bringing to pass the crowning of his posterity with immortality,
and eternal lives, under the direction of Son Ahman, the Messiah, Lord of Lords, and King
of Kings. President Joseph F. Smith validates tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical
records,: "I saw the hosts of the dead, both small and great." -- "And there were gathered
together in one place an innumerable company of the spirits of the just who had been
faithful in the testimony of Jesus while they lived in mortality;" "They were assembled
awaiting the advent of the Son of God into the spirit world, to declare their redemption
from the bands of death." (Thus, this would have been an innumerable company of spirits
having lived in Old Testament times, as "Their sleeping dust was to be restored unto its
perfect frame . . .") "While this vast multitude waited and conversed, rejoicing in the hour
of their deliverance from the chains of death, the Son of God appeared, declaring liberty
to the captives who had been faithful," Also, this multitude did not include all the wicked.
Specific mention is made of seeing and critically identifying additional Old Testament
personalities: Abel, the first martyr; Seth, one of the mighty ones; Noah, of the flood era;
Shem, the great high priest (Melchizedek); Abraham, the father of the faithful; Isaac,
Jacob; Moses, the great law-giver of Israel; Isaiah, who spoke of the Messiah; Ezekiel;
Daniel; Elias, who appeared on the Mount of Transfiguration; and the prophet Malachi;
"All these and many more, even the prophets who dwelt among the Nephites and testified
of the coming of the Son of God, mingled in the vast assembly"; waiting for deliverance.
Furthermore, Jesus Christ mentions in Matthew 7: 19–23, when asked why Moses permitted
divorce; Jesus Christ declared: "Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered
you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you,
Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another,
committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery."
Isaiah 3 & 4 notes Zion and her daughters will be redeemed and cleansed in the coming
millennial day, by the restoration of polygamy: "And in that day, seven women shall
take hold of one man, saying: We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel;
only let us be called by thy name to take away our reproach"; re: 2 Nephi Chapter 14, as
mentioned in the Book of Mormon; indicating modern day Zion is yet filthy, beforehand.
Since there was no divorce in the beginning, under the ancient patriarchal priesthood,
the unity of family associations would have greatly expanded the number of the children
living upon the earth, down to the time of the period of the administration of prophet Elijah.
Therefore, it is priesthood unrighteous dominion, in the cancellation of Temple Sealings,
or civil divorces, and not genetic DNA, that promotes extreme mental cruelty within lives
of separated posterity; that is the origination of adultery, fornication; all perverted forms
of biological disorientation of the children; a diminished World Population Since Creation.]

The Priesthood was first given to Adam. He obtained the First Presidency and held
the Keys of it. He obtained it in the creation before the world was formed, and they
remained on the earth until the Old Testament times of Elijah the Prophet; the last
of those prophets to hold the Keys of the Sealing Power of the Melchizedek Priesthood.
All the ancient prophets of the Old Testament times had the Melchizedek Priesthood.
The Order of the Melchizedek Priesthood was formerly called the High Priesthood of
the Holy Order of God, or the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God. It is
the Church of the Firstborn, or glorified Patriarchal Priesthood celestial heir members.
The sealed family is central to the Creator's plan for the eternal destiny of His children.
Old Testament Biblical Records include statements concerning High Priests presiding
in, or holding Priesthood Keys in the Melchizedek Priesthood, as well as Bishops, who
hold the mighty sacred keys over The Aaronic Priesthood: The Ministering of Angels.
Priesthood of Aaron restoration was performed by John the Baptist. The testimony of
Jesus Christ was: This is he, of whom it is written, behold, I send my messenger before
thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. For I say unto you, Among those
that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he
that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. And all the people that heard
him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of dear John.
Thus, we carefully listen to Andrea Bocelli - Angels We Have Heard On High - YouTube™.
Also: Listen to the Voice of Jesus Christ, your Lord, your God, and your Redeemer, whose
word is quick and powerful. And also John the son of Zacharias, which Zacharias he (Elias,
to whom I have committed the keys of bringing to pass the restoration of all things spoken
by the mouth of all the holy prophets since the world began, concerning the last days),
visited and gave promise that he should have a son, and his name should be John,
and he should be filled with the spirit of Elias; Which John I have have sent unto you,
my servants, Joseph Smith, Jun., and Oliver Cowdery, to ordain you unto the first priest-
hood, which you have received, that you might be called and ordained even as Aaron.

D&C 107: 45  God called upon Cainan in the wilderness in the fortieth
year of his age; and he met Adam in journeying to the place Shedolamak.
He was eighty-seven years old when he received his ordination.  D&C 107: 53
Cainan was a High Priest D&C107: 3 in the Holy Priesthood, after the Order
of the Son of God.

What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
[Research Note: RootsTech • FamilySearch was presented 29 Feb 2024 - 02 Mar 2024; it
did "provide meaningful connections through a deeper understanding of family history
and genealogy." Class Schedule Preview shows 27 DNA results. A Search of RootsTech
On-Demand Library reveals an added 289 results. The Science of Molecular Genealogy
suggests: "Molecular science can help genealogists uncover previously unknown family
relationships, verify or refute claims to ancestry, and shed light on questions that have
puzzled family historians for years." There are however, scientific limitations involved,
when considering Latter-day Saint, or Christian belief systems, based upon Bible text;
showing The Internal Consistency and Historical Reliability of the Biblical Genealogies.
Scott Ray Woodward (biologist)] extracted and typed DNA going back millions of years.
Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His EASTER resurrection, validated by LDS (D&C 138),
suggest serious reconsiderations on the actual value of DNA studies, extrapolated back
in temporal time. Foremost of all, What are resurrected bodies like?, declares they are
physical; and thus, no physical bodies upon the earth for molecular science to evaluate.
Moroni, who lived in the fifth century AD, additionally is a physically resurrected being.
So what is left of the ancient molecular past, to scientifically evaluate, are remains from
wicked societies, and social environments, destined for a future Telestial or Terrestrial
eternal existence. All these societies, except for Noah and his family relationships, had
disruptive global flood experiences, degrading and altering their molecular body purity
(as well as a stated corruption of all flesh, intermingled between animals and humans).
Additionally, all spirit is matter, but it is more refined and pure, such that it is infinitely
incapable of being measured by modern technological instruments; nor by DNA data.
God of course knows all of His spirit children, and knows from the beginnings of their
spiritual birth in heaven; thus He knows the past, present and future of the Universe,
knowing beforehand, the beginnings and ends of all the works of His own Creations.

In conclusion then, What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
The Book of Mormon is the greatest primary witness on the face of the earth to validate
the authenticity of the Ancient Biblical Record, with Moroni as the greatest key witness.
The Prophet Moroni testifies emphatically that the Theory of Evolution is so completely
false, as noted in Line upon Line: Moroni 10:3–5. Behold, I would exhort you, that when
ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would
remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation
of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your
hearts. . . . And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things. . . .
The key element of this witness testimony concerning the real mortal existence of Adam,
and the factual evidence of the creation of the earth, and all the subsequent related things
thereto, is clearly stated within The Book of Ether. Moroni specifically abridged the record
of the Jaredites. Therefore, from a professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
he is an intimate, personally involved, eye-witness to this account of those twenty and four
plates which were found by the people of Limhi, which is called the Book of Ether. Moroni
mentions: "And as I suppose that the first part of this record, which speaks concerning the
creation of the world, and also of Adam, and an account from that time even to the great
tower, and whatsoever things transpired among the children of men until that time, is had
among the Jews-- Therefore I do not write those things which transpired from the days of
Adam until that time; but they are had upon the plates; and whoso findeth them, the same
will have power that he may get the full account" (as they are written in Adamic language).
Additionally Legal Records, the Brass Plates, held in the originating possession of Laban,
contained not only the Jewish scriptures, but also Lehi's own genealogy back to Joseph
in Egypt. From a dispassionate, professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
this directly relates to the genealogical Truths taught in 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi, Moroni had
access to the Brass Plates of Laban and knew that those records came forth out of the City
of Jerusalem; and were handed down intact by the seed of originating Nephite father Lehi.
Nevertheless, the very false theory, or secular doctrine of Evolution is currently, and very
openly, and proudly; blatantly expounded upon, by open-minded "scientific" leadership,
from the sacred halls of learning, at Brigham Young University. Yet, Nephi, son of Lehi,
had a vision of great significance, recorded in 1 Nephi 13:20–42: Plain and Precious Truths.
In particular, from a genealogical research standpoint, 1 Nephi 13: 23, the Gentiles, or us,
today, had a book, which an angel from the Throne of God in Heaven declared, stating:
Behold it proceedeth out of the mouth of a Jew (collectively, the ancestry of the Jews).
"The book that thou beholdest is a record of the Jews, which contains the covenants
of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house of Israel (from Old Testament times);
and it also containeth many of the prophecies of the holy prophets; and it is a record
like unto the engravings which are upon the plates of brass, save there are not so many;
nevertheless, they contain the covenants of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house
of Israel; wherefore, they are of great worth unto the Gentiles." Organic Evolution is false.

Understanding Historical Dates And Calendars For Genealogical Research
[Research Note: Calendars are part of record keeping. There is no real physical science
in existence without accurate record keeping, to determine what has transpired in past
events, or real experiments, to determine what is going on in the present, or knowing
what calculated future outcomes will be. True and perfect science is based upon written
testimony, and the testimony of Jesus Christ is the The Spirit of Prophecy: true science.
There are the massive amounts of witnesses verifying the origination of calendar record
keeping, before, and since the beginning of time.  References are found in Astronomy /
Astronomy, where records of the fathers contain knowledge of creation: planets, stars.
See references: Book of Remembrance, Knowledge, Record, and Write, Wrote, Written;
for the Lord always commands all men to write all the words which he speaks to them.
Revelation, 27–28 December 1832, Broadsheet [D&C 88:1–126], Page 1 mentions two great
concepts: (1) All kingdoms have a law given; and there are many kingdoms; for there is no
space in the which there is no kingdom; & there is no kingdom in which there is no space,
either a greater or lesser kingdom. And unto every kingdom is given a law; and unto every
law there are certain bounds, also, and conditions. (2) . . . for intelligence cleaveth unto
intelligence . . . judgment goeth before the face of him who sitteth upon the throne,
and governeth and executeth all things; he comprehendeth all things, and all things
are before him, and all things are round about him; and he is above all things, and in
all things, and is through all things, and is round about all things: and all things are
by him, and of him; even God, for ever, and ever. From a viewpoint of heavenly physics
and astronomy: there is no vacuum in the Universe; forever having matter and energy
existing in an intertwined state of being. Furthermore, the Universe is forever in control,
magnifying the Glory of God, within all its elements; condensing disparate intelligences.]

     or make the shortness of our lives at present an argument, that neither did they attain
     to so long a duration of life, for those ancients were beloved of God, and [lately]
     made by God himself; and because their food was then fitter for the prolongation
     of life, might well live so great a number of years: and besides, God afforded them
     a longer time of life on account of their virtue, and the good use they made of it in
     astronomical and geometrical discoveries, which would not have afforded the time
     of foretelling [the periods of the stars] unless they had lived six hundred years; for
     the Great Year is completed in that interval. Now I have for witnesses to what I have

007:   MAHALALEEL (the son of CAINAN - KENAN)

Family of Mahalaleel: (Mahalaleel was a preacher of righteousness,
and spake and prophesied, and called upon all men everywhere to repent.
And faith was taught unto the children of men. And then began these men
to call upon the name of the Lord, and the Lord blessed them, 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 . . . JST - Inspired Version)
Mahalalel: Mahalaleel (Mahalaleel) / Mahalaleel |

Marriage:

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.]
[Research Note: Plural Marriage "was believed in and practiced by the ancients"; noted
Brigham Young: Beneficial Effects of Polygamy (Journal of Discourses). As LDS President,
Brigham Young also stated "that if you desire with all your hearts to obtain the blessings
which Abraham obtained, you will be polygamists at least in your faith, or you will come
short of enjoying the salvation and the glory which Abraham has obtained. This is as true
as that God lives. . . . The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those
who enter into polygamy. Others attain unto a glory and may even be permitted to come
into the presence of the Father and the Son (in the Celestial Earth Kingdom; single, or in
a monogamously Temple sealed marriage), but they cannot (fully) reign as kings in glory,
because they had blessings offered unto them (to have power to save their own posterity),
and they refused to accept them." The Power to Seal on Earth and in Heaven remained
actively upon the earth until the days of Elijah the Prophet, one of Messengers with Keys.
Therefore, according to President Brigham Young, Jesus Christ had to have been married
to more than one wife, before he was exalted. Thus, the New Testament does not contain
a complete record of the Saints family relationships. Furthermore, Biblical society clearly
included plural marriage, as it was "believed in and practiced by the ancients", (as three
years previous to the death of Adam, he called Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared,
Enoch, and Methuselah; all just high priests, having the Holy Priesthood, after the Order
of the Son of God, with the residue of his, Adam's righteous posterity, into the green valley
of Adam-ondi-Ahman); which society continued on through Shem, or Melchizedek, the son
of Noah; to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, or Israel; down into the later Christian Gentile era.
This certainly indicates a tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical records, when actually
compared mathematically, with the high number of global inhabitants, in pre-flood times.
Section 138, Vision of the Redemption of the Dead (Doctrine and Covenants 138): "Among
the great and mighty ones who were assembled in this vast congregation of the righteous
were Father Adam, the Ancient of Days and father of all, And our glorious Mother Eve,
with many of her faithful daughters who had lived through the (past Old Testament) ages
and worshiped the true and living God." Adam, or Michael, as the Holy Patriarchal Head
of the Human Family, by Right, has been delegated to hold the keys of the resurrection
of the dead, from Jesus Christ, or Jehovah; having previously passed through that order,
and continuously assists in bringing to pass the crowning of his posterity with immortality,
and eternal lives, under the direction of Son Ahman, the Messiah, Lord of Lords, and King
of Kings. President Joseph F. Smith validates tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical
records,: "I saw the hosts of the dead, both small and great." -- "And there were gathered
together in one place an innumerable company of the spirits of the just who had been
faithful in the testimony of Jesus while they lived in mortality;" "They were assembled
awaiting the advent of the Son of God into the spirit world, to declare their redemption
from the bands of death." (Thus, this would have been an innumerable company of spirits
having lived in Old Testament times, as "Their sleeping dust was to be restored unto its
perfect frame . . .") "While this vast multitude waited and conversed, rejoicing in the hour
of their deliverance from the chains of death, the Son of God appeared, declaring liberty
to the captives who had been faithful," Also, this multitude did not include all the wicked.
Specific mention is made of seeing and critically identifying additional Old Testament
personalities: Abel, the first martyr; Seth, one of the mighty ones; Noah, of the flood era;
Shem, the great high priest (Melchizedek); Abraham, the father of the faithful; Isaac,
Jacob; Moses, the great law-giver of Israel; Isaiah, who spoke of the Messiah; Ezekiel;
Daniel; Elias, who appeared on the Mount of Transfiguration; and the prophet Malachi;
"All these and many more, even the prophets who dwelt among the Nephites and testified
of the coming of the Son of God, mingled in the vast assembly"; waiting for deliverance.
Furthermore, Jesus Christ mentions in Matthew 7: 19–23, when asked why Moses permitted
divorce; Jesus Christ declared: "Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered
you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you,
Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another,
committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery."
Isaiah 3 & 4 notes Zion and her daughters will be redeemed and cleansed in the coming
millennial day, by the restoration of polygamy: "And in that day, seven women shall
take hold of one man, saying: We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel;
only let us be called by thy name to take away our reproach"; re: 2 Nephi Chapter 14, as
mentioned in the Book of Mormon; indicating modern day Zion is yet filthy, beforehand.
Since there was no divorce in the beginning, under the ancient patriarchal priesthood,
the unity of family associations would have greatly expanded the number of the children
living upon the earth, down to the time of the period of the administration of prophet Elijah.
Therefore, it is priesthood unrighteous dominion, in the cancellation of Temple Sealings,
or civil divorces, and not genetic DNA, that promotes extreme mental cruelty within lives
of separated posterity; that is the origination of adultery, fornication; all perverted forms
of biological disorientation of the children; a diminished World Population Since Creation.]

The Priesthood was first given to Adam. He obtained the First Presidency and held
the Keys of it. He obtained it in the creation before the world was formed, and they
remained on the earth until the Old Testament times of Elijah the Prophet; the last
of those prophets to hold the Keys of the Sealing Power of the Melchizedek Priesthood.
All the ancient prophets of the Old Testament times had the Melchizedek Priesthood.
The Order of the Melchizedek Priesthood was formerly called the High Priesthood of
the Holy Order of God, or the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God. It is
the Church of the Firstborn, or glorified Patriarchal Priesthood celestial heir members.
The sealed family is central to the Creator's plan for the eternal destiny of His children.
Old Testament Biblical Records include statements concerning High Priests presiding
in, or holding Priesthood Keys in the Melchizedek Priesthood, as well as Bishops, who
hold the mighty sacred keys over The Aaronic Priesthood: The Ministering of Angels.
Priesthood of Aaron restoration was performed by John the Baptist. The testimony of
Jesus Christ was: This is he, of whom it is written, behold, I send my messenger before
thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. For I say unto you, Among those
that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he
that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. And all the people that heard
him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of dear John.
Thus, we carefully listen to Andrea Bocelli - Angels We Have Heard On High - YouTube™.
Also: Listen to the Voice of Jesus Christ, your Lord, your God, and your Redeemer, whose
word is quick and powerful. And also John the son of Zacharias, which Zacharias he (Elias,
to whom I have committed the keys of bringing to pass the restoration of all things spoken
by the mouth of all the holy prophets since the world began, concerning the last days),
visited and gave promise that he should have a son, and his name should be John,
and he should be filled with the spirit of Elias; Which John I have have sent unto you,
my servants, Joseph Smith, Jun., and Oliver Cowdery, to ordain you unto the first priest-
hood, which you have received, that you might be called and ordained even as Aaron.

D&C 107: 46  Mahalaleel was four hundred and ninety-six years and seven
days old when he was ordained by the hand of Adam, who also blessed him.
D&C 107: 53  Mahalaleel was a High Priest D&C 107: 3 in the Holy Priesthood,
after the Order of the Son of God.

What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
[Research Note: RootsTech • FamilySearch was presented 29 Feb 2024 - 02 Mar 2024; it
did "provide meaningful connections through a deeper understanding of family history
and genealogy." Class Schedule Preview shows 27 DNA results. A Search of RootsTech
On-Demand Library reveals an added 289 results. The Science of Molecular Genealogy
suggests: "Molecular science can help genealogists uncover previously unknown family
relationships, verify or refute claims to ancestry, and shed light on questions that have
puzzled family historians for years." There are however, scientific limitations involved,
when considering Latter-day Saint, or Christian belief systems, based upon Bible text;
showing The Internal Consistency and Historical Reliability of the Biblical Genealogies.
Scott Ray Woodward (biologist)] extracted and typed DNA going back millions of years.
Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His EASTER resurrection, validated by LDS (D&C 138),
suggest serious reconsiderations on the actual value of DNA studies, extrapolated back
in temporal time. Foremost of all, What are resurrected bodies like?, declares they are
physical; and thus, no physical bodies upon the earth for molecular science to evaluate.
Moroni, who lived in the fifth century AD, additionally is a physically resurrected being.
So what is left of the ancient molecular past, to scientifically evaluate, are remains from
wicked societies, and social environments, destined for a future Telestial or Terrestrial
eternal existence. All these societies, except for Noah and his family relationships, had
disruptive global flood experiences, degrading and altering their molecular body purity
(as well as a stated corruption of all flesh, intermingled between animals and humans).
Additionally, all spirit is matter, but it is more refined and pure, such that it is infinitely
incapable of being measured by modern technological instruments; nor by DNA data.
God of course knows all of His spirit children, and knows from the beginnings of their
spiritual birth in heaven; thus He knows the past, present and future of the Universe,
knowing beforehand, the beginnings and ends of all the works of His own Creations.

In conclusion then, What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
The Book of Mormon is the greatest primary witness on the face of the earth to validate
the authenticity of the Ancient Biblical Record, with Moroni as the greatest key witness.
The Prophet Moroni testifies emphatically that the Theory of Evolution is so completely
false, as noted in Line upon Line: Moroni 10:3–5. Behold, I would exhort you, that when
ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would
remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation
of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your
hearts. . . . And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things. . . .
The key element of this witness testimony concerning the real mortal existence of Adam,
and the factual evidence of the creation of the earth, and all the subsequent related things
thereto, is clearly stated within The Book of Ether. Moroni specifically abridged the record
of the Jaredites. Therefore, from a professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
he is an intimate, personally involved, eye-witness to this account of those twenty and four
plates which were found by the people of Limhi, which is called the Book of Ether. Moroni
mentions: "And as I suppose that the first part of this record, which speaks concerning the
creation of the world, and also of Adam, and an account from that time even to the great
tower, and whatsoever things transpired among the children of men until that time, is had
among the Jews-- Therefore I do not write those things which transpired from the days of
Adam until that time; but they are had upon the plates; and whoso findeth them, the same
will have power that he may get the full account" (as they are written in Adamic language).
Additionally Legal Records, the Brass Plates, held in the originating possession of Laban,
contained not only the Jewish scriptures, but also Lehi's own genealogy back to Joseph
in Egypt. From a dispassionate, professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
this directly relates to the genealogical Truths taught in 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi, Moroni had
access to the Brass Plates of Laban and knew that those records came forth out of the City
of Jerusalem; and were handed down intact by the seed of originating Nephite father Lehi.
Nevertheless, the very false theory, or secular doctrine of Evolution is currently, and very
openly, and proudly; blatantly expounded upon, by open-minded "scientific" leadership,
from the sacred halls of learning, at Brigham Young University. Yet, Nephi, son of Lehi,
had a vision of great significance, recorded in 1 Nephi 13:20–42: Plain and Precious Truths.
In particular, from a genealogical research standpoint, 1 Nephi 13: 23, the Gentiles, or us,
today, had a book, which an angel from the Throne of God in Heaven declared, stating:
Behold it proceedeth out of the mouth of a Jew (collectively, the ancestry of the Jews).
"The book that thou beholdest is a record of the Jews, which contains the covenants
of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house of Israel (from Old Testament times);
and it also containeth many of the prophecies of the holy prophets; and it is a record
like unto the engravings which are upon the plates of brass, save there are not so many;
nevertheless, they contain the covenants of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house
of Israel; wherefore, they are of great worth unto the Gentiles." Organic Evolution is false.

Understanding Historical Dates And Calendars For Genealogical Research
[Research Note: Calendars are part of record keeping. There is no real physical science
in existence without accurate record keeping, to determine what has transpired in past
events, or real experiments, to determine what is going on in the present, or knowing
what calculated future outcomes will be. True and perfect science is based upon written
testimony, and the testimony of Jesus Christ is the The Spirit of Prophecy: true science.
There are the massive amounts of witnesses verifying the origination of calendar record
keeping, before, and since the beginning of time.  References are found in Astronomy /
Astronomy, where records of the fathers contain knowledge of creation: planets, stars.
See references: Book of Remembrance, Knowledge, Record, and Write, Wrote, Written;
for the Lord always commands all men to write all the words which he speaks to them.
Revelation, 27–28 December 1832, Broadsheet [D&C 88:1–126], Page 1 mentions two great
concepts: (1) All kingdoms have a law given; and there are many kingdoms; for there is no
space in the which there is no kingdom; & there is no kingdom in which there is no space,
either a greater or lesser kingdom. And unto every kingdom is given a law; and unto every
law there are certain bounds, also, and conditions. (2) . . . for intelligence cleaveth unto
intelligence . . . judgment goeth before the face of him who sitteth upon the throne,
and governeth and executeth all things; he comprehendeth all things, and all things
are before him, and all things are round about him; and he is above all things, and in
all things, and is through all things, and is round about all things: and all things are
by him, and of him; even God, for ever, and ever. From a viewpoint of heavenly physics
and astronomy: there is no vacuum in the Universe; forever having matter and energy
existing in an intertwined state of being. Furthermore, the Universe is forever in control,
magnifying the Glory of God, within all its elements; condensing disparate intelligences.]

     with the few years which we now live, think that what we have said of them is false;
     or make the shortness of our lives at present an argument, that neither did they attain
     to so long a duration of life, for those ancients were beloved of God, and [lately]
     made by God himself; and because their food was then fitter for the prolongation
     of life, might well live so great a number of years: and besides, God afforded them
     a longer time of life on account of their virtue, and the good use they made of it in
     astronomical and geometrical discoveries, which would not have afforded the time
     of foretelling [the periods of the stars] unless they had lived six hundred years; for
     the Great Year is completed in that interval. Now I have for witnesses to what I have

     sitting upon his throne, clothed with power and authority; with a crown of eternal
     light upon his head, representing also the grand Key-words of the Holy Priesthood,
     as revealed to Adam in the Garden of Eden, as also to Seth, Noah, Melchizedek,
     Abraham, and all to whom the Priesthood was revealed (listed in Patriarchal Order).

     solar apparent radius 0.25 degree) we get an Earth apparent radius of 1 degree.
     This yields for the Earth-Moon distance 60 Earth radii of 384,000 km. This procedure

008:   JARED (the son of MAHALALEEL)

Family of Jared: (And Jared taught Enoch in all the ways of God. Jared was a preacher
of righteousness, and spake and prophesied, and called upon all men everywhere
to repent. And faith was taught unto the children of men. And then began these men
to call upon the name of the Lord, and the Lord blessed them, 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 . . . JST - Inspired Version)
Jared: Jared (Bible) / Jared (Book of Mormon name) / Jared |

Marriage:

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.]
[Research Note: Plural Marriage "was believed in and practiced by the ancients"; noted
Brigham Young: Beneficial Effects of Polygamy (Journal of Discourses). As LDS President,
Brigham Young also stated "that if you desire with all your hearts to obtain the blessings
which Abraham obtained, you will be polygamists at least in your faith, or you will come
short of enjoying the salvation and the glory which Abraham has obtained. This is as true
as that God lives. . . . The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those
who enter into polygamy. Others attain unto a glory and may even be permitted to come
into the presence of the Father and the Son (in the Celestial Earth Kingdom; single, or in
a monogamously Temple sealed marriage), but they cannot (fully) reign as kings in glory,
because they had blessings offered unto them (to have power to save their own posterity),
and they refused to accept them." The Power to Seal on Earth and in Heaven remained
actively upon the earth until the days of Elijah the Prophet, one of Messengers with Keys.
Therefore, according to President Brigham Young, Jesus Christ had to have been married
to more than one wife, before he was exalted. Thus, the New Testament does not contain
a complete record of the Saints family relationships. Furthermore, Biblical society clearly
included plural marriage, as it was "believed in and practiced by the ancients", (as three
years previous to the death of Adam, he called Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared,
Enoch, and Methuselah; all just high priests, having the Holy Priesthood, after the Order
of the Son of God, with the residue of his, Adam's righteous posterity, into the green valley
of Adam-ondi-Ahman); which society continued on through Shem, or Melchizedek, the son
of Noah; to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, or Israel; down into the later Christian Gentile era.
This certainly indicates a tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical records, when actually
compared mathematically, with the high number of global inhabitants, in pre-flood times.
Section 138, Vision of the Redemption of the Dead (Doctrine and Covenants 138): "Among
the great and mighty ones who were assembled in this vast congregation of the righteous
were Father Adam, the Ancient of Days and father of all, And our glorious Mother Eve,
with many of her faithful daughters who had lived through the (past Old Testament) ages
and worshiped the true and living God." Adam, or Michael, as the Holy Patriarchal Head
of the Human Family, by Right, has been delegated to hold the keys of the resurrection
of the dead, from Jesus Christ, or Jehovah; having previously passed through that order,
and continuously assists in bringing to pass the crowning of his posterity with immortality,
and eternal lives, under the direction of Son Ahman, the Messiah, Lord of Lords, and King
of Kings. President Joseph F. Smith validates tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical
records,: "I saw the hosts of the dead, both small and great." -- "And there were gathered
together in one place an innumerable company of the spirits of the just who had been
faithful in the testimony of Jesus while they lived in mortality;" "They were assembled
awaiting the advent of the Son of God into the spirit world, to declare their redemption
from the bands of death." (Thus, this would have been an innumerable company of spirits
having lived in Old Testament times, as "Their sleeping dust was to be restored unto its
perfect frame . . .") "While this vast multitude waited and conversed, rejoicing in the hour
of their deliverance from the chains of death, the Son of God appeared, declaring liberty
to the captives who had been faithful," Also, this multitude did not include all the wicked.
Specific mention is made of seeing and critically identifying additional Old Testament
personalities: Abel, the first martyr; Seth, one of the mighty ones; Noah, of the flood era;
Shem, the great high priest (Melchizedek); Abraham, the father of the faithful; Isaac,
Jacob; Moses, the great law-giver of Israel; Isaiah, who spoke of the Messiah; Ezekiel;
Daniel; Elias, who appeared on the Mount of Transfiguration; and the prophet Malachi;
"All these and many more, even the prophets who dwelt among the Nephites and testified
of the coming of the Son of God, mingled in the vast assembly"; waiting for deliverance.
Furthermore, Jesus Christ mentions in Matthew 7: 19–23, when asked why Moses permitted
divorce; Jesus Christ declared: "Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered
you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you,
Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another,
committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery."
Isaiah 3 & 4 notes Zion and her daughters will be redeemed and cleansed in the coming
millennial day, by the restoration of polygamy: "And in that day, seven women shall
take hold of one man, saying: We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel;
only let us be called by thy name to take away our reproach"; re: 2 Nephi Chapter 14, as
mentioned in the Book of Mormon; indicating modern day Zion is yet filthy, beforehand.
Since there was no divorce in the beginning, under the ancient patriarchal priesthood,
the unity of family associations would have greatly expanded the number of the children
living upon the earth, down to the time of the period of the administration of prophet Elijah.
Therefore, it is priesthood unrighteous dominion, in the cancellation of Temple Sealings,
or civil divorces, and not genetic DNA, that promotes extreme mental cruelty within lives
of separated posterity; that is the origination of adultery, fornication; all perverted forms
of biological disorientation of the children; a diminished World Population Since Creation.]

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.]

The Priesthood was first given to Adam. He obtained the First Presidency and held
the Keys of it. He obtained it in the creation before the world was formed, and they
remained on the earth until the Old Testament times of Elijah the Prophet; the last
of those prophets to hold the Keys of the Sealing Power of the Melchizedek Priesthood.
All the ancient prophets of the Old Testament times had the Melchizedek Priesthood.
The Order of the Melchizedek Priesthood was formerly called the High Priesthood of
the Holy Order of God, or the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God. It is
the Church of the Firstborn, or glorified Patriarchal Priesthood celestial heir members.
The sealed family is central to the Creator's plan for the eternal destiny of His children.
Old Testament Biblical Records include statements concerning High Priests presiding
in, or holding Priesthood Keys in the Melchizedek Priesthood, as well as Bishops, who
hold the mighty sacred keys over The Aaronic Priesthood: The Ministering of Angels.
Priesthood of Aaron restoration was performed by John the Baptist. The testimony of
Jesus Christ was: This is he, of whom it is written, behold, I send my messenger before
thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. For I say unto you, Among those
that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he
that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. And all the people that heard
him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of dear John.
Thus, we carefully listen to Andrea Bocelli - Angels We Have Heard On High - YouTube™.
Also: Listen to the Voice of Jesus Christ, your Lord, your God, and your Redeemer, whose
word is quick and powerful. And also John the son of Zacharias, which Zacharias he (Elias,
to whom I have committed the keys of bringing to pass the restoration of all things spoken
by the mouth of all the holy prophets since the world began, concerning the last days),
visited and gave promise that he should have a son, and his name should be John,
and he should be filled with the spirit of Elias; Which John I have have sent unto you,
my servants, Joseph Smith, Jun., and Oliver Cowdery, to ordain you unto the first priest-
hood, which you have received, that you might be called and ordained even as Aaron.

D&C 107: 47  Jared was two hundred years old when he was ordained
under the hand of Adam, who also blessed him.  Jared taught Enoch
in all the ways of God.
D&C 107: 53  Jared was a High Priest D&C 107: 3 in the Holy Priesthood,
after the Order of the Son of God.

What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
[Research Note: RootsTech • FamilySearch was presented 29 Feb 2024 - 02 Mar 2024; it
did "provide meaningful connections through a deeper understanding of family history
and genealogy." Class Schedule Preview shows 27 DNA results. A Search of RootsTech
On-Demand Library reveals an added 289 results. The Science of Molecular Genealogy
suggests: "Molecular science can help genealogists uncover previously unknown family
relationships, verify or refute claims to ancestry, and shed light on questions that have
puzzled family historians for years." There are however, scientific limitations involved,
when considering Latter-day Saint, or Christian belief systems, based upon Bible text;
showing The Internal Consistency and Historical Reliability of the Biblical Genealogies.
Scott Ray Woodward (biologist)] extracted and typed DNA going back millions of years.
Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His EASTER resurrection, validated by LDS (D&C 138),
suggest serious reconsiderations on the actual value of DNA studies, extrapolated back
in temporal time. Foremost of all, What are resurrected bodies like?, declares they are
physical; and thus, no physical bodies upon the earth for molecular science to evaluate.
Moroni, who lived in the fifth century AD, additionally is a physically resurrected being.
So what is left of the ancient molecular past, to scientifically evaluate, are remains from
wicked societies, and social environments, destined for a future Telestial or Terrestrial
eternal existence. All these societies, except for Noah and his family relationships, had
disruptive global flood experiences, degrading and altering their molecular body purity
(as well as a stated corruption of all flesh, intermingled between animals and humans).
Additionally, all spirit is matter, but it is more refined and pure, such that it is infinitely
incapable of being measured by modern technological instruments; nor by DNA data.
God of course knows all of His spirit children, and knows from the beginnings of their
spiritual birth in heaven; thus He knows the past, present and future of the Universe,
knowing beforehand, the beginnings and ends of all the works of His own Creations.

In conclusion then, What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
The Book of Mormon is the greatest primary witness on the face of the earth to validate
the authenticity of the Ancient Biblical Record, with Moroni as the greatest key witness.
The Prophet Moroni testifies emphatically that the Theory of Evolution is so completely
false, as noted in Line upon Line: Moroni 10:3–5. Behold, I would exhort you, that when
ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would
remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation
of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your
hearts. . . . And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things. . . .
The key element of this witness testimony concerning the real mortal existence of Adam,
and the factual evidence of the creation of the earth, and all the subsequent related things
thereto, is clearly stated within The Book of Ether. Moroni specifically abridged the record
of the Jaredites. Therefore, from a professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
he is an intimate, personally involved, eye-witness to this account of those twenty and four
plates which were found by the people of Limhi, which is called the Book of Ether. Moroni
mentions: "And as I suppose that the first part of this record, which speaks concerning the
creation of the world, and also of Adam, and an account from that time even to the great
tower, and whatsoever things transpired among the children of men until that time, is had
among the Jews-- Therefore I do not write those things which transpired from the days of
Adam until that time; but they are had upon the plates; and whoso findeth them, the same
will have power that he may get the full account" (as they are written in Adamic language).
Additionally Legal Records, the Brass Plates, held in the originating possession of Laban,
contained not only the Jewish scriptures, but also Lehi's own genealogy back to Joseph
in Egypt. From a dispassionate, professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
this directly relates to the genealogical Truths taught in 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi, Moroni had
access to the Brass Plates of Laban and knew that those records came forth out of the City
of Jerusalem; and were handed down intact by the seed of originating Nephite father Lehi.
Nevertheless, the very false theory, or secular doctrine of Evolution is currently, and very
openly, and proudly; blatantly expounded upon, by open-minded "scientific" leadership,
from the sacred halls of learning, at Brigham Young University. Yet, Nephi, son of Lehi,
had a vision of great significance, recorded in 1 Nephi 13:20–42: Plain and Precious Truths.
In particular, from a genealogical research standpoint, 1 Nephi 13: 23, the Gentiles, or us,
today, had a book, which an angel from the Throne of God in Heaven declared, stating:
Behold it proceedeth out of the mouth of a Jew (collectively, the ancestry of the Jews).
"The book that thou beholdest is a record of the Jews, which contains the covenants
of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house of Israel (from Old Testament times);
and it also containeth many of the prophecies of the holy prophets; and it is a record
like unto the engravings which are upon the plates of brass, save there are not so many;
nevertheless, they contain the covenants of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house
of Israel; wherefore, they are of great worth unto the Gentiles." Organic Evolution is false.

[Research Note: Calendars are part of record keeping. There is no real physical science
in existence without accurate record keeping, to determine what has transpired in past
events, or real experiments, to determine what is going on in the present, or knowing
what calculated future outcomes will be. True and perfect science is based upon written
testimony, and the testimony of Jesus Christ is the The Spirit of Prophecy: true science.
There are the massive amounts of witnesses verifying the origination of calendar record
keeping, before, and since the beginning of time.  References are found in Astronomy /
Astronomy, where records of the fathers contain knowledge of creation: planets, stars.
See references: Book of Remembrance, Knowledge, Record, and Write, Wrote, Written;
for the Lord always commands all men to write all the words which he speaks to them.
Revelation, 27–28 December 1832, Broadsheet [D&C 88:1–126], Page 1 mentions two great
concepts: (1) All kingdoms have a law given; and there are many kingdoms; for there is no
space in the which there is no kingdom; & there is no kingdom in which there is no space,
either a greater or lesser kingdom. And unto every kingdom is given a law; and unto every
law there are certain bounds, also, and conditions. (2) . . . for intelligence cleaveth unto
intelligence . . . judgment goeth before the face of him who sitteth upon the throne,
and governeth and executeth all things; he comprehendeth all things, and all things
are before him, and all things are round about him; and he is above all things, and in
all things, and is through all things, and is round about all things: and all things are
by him, and of him; even God, for ever, and ever. From a viewpoint of heavenly physics
and astronomy: there is no vacuum in the Universe; forever having matter and energy
existing in an intertwined state of being. Furthermore, the Universe is forever in control,
magnifying the Glory of God, within all its elements; condensing disparate intelligences.]

     "Now when Noah had lived three hundred and fifty years after the Flood, and that
     all that time happily, he died, having lived the number of nine hundred and fifty
     years. But let no one, upon comparing the lives of the ancients with our lives, and
     with the few years which we now live, think that what we have said of them is false;
     or make the shortness of our lives at present an argument, that neither did they attain
     to so long a duration of life, for those ancients were beloved of God, and [lately]
     made by God himself; and because their food was then fitter for the prolongation
     of life, might well live so great a number of years: and besides, God afforded them
     a longer time of life on account of their virtue, and the good use they made of it in
     astronomical and geometrical discoveries, which would not have afforded the time
     of foretelling [the periods of the stars] unless they had lived six hundred years; for
     the Great Year is completed in that interval. Now I have for witnesses to what I have
     said, all those that have written Antiquities, both among the Greeks and barbarians;
     for even Manetho, who wrote the Egyptian History, and Berosus, who collected the
     Chaldean Monuments, and Mochus, and Hestieus, and besides these, Hieronymus
     the Egyptian, and those who composed the Phoenician History, agree to what I here
     say: Hesiod also, and Hecatseus, Hellanicus, and Acusilaus; and besides these,
     Ephorus and Nicolaus relate that the ancients lived a thousand years. But as to these
     matters, let every one look upon them as he thinks fit."  [Research Note: One Day in

     to as elevation, is the angle between the object and the observer's local horizon. It
     is expressed as an angle between 0 degrees to 90 degrees; and 5 divides into 90
     degrees = 18 times; and that 6 divides into 90 degrees = 15 times. Now, the Behenian
     fixed stars are a selection of fifteen stars considered especially useful for magical
     applications in the medieval astrology of Europe and the Arab world; each is also
     connected with a gemstone and plant; and when a planet was within six degrees
     of an associated star, this influence was thought to be particularly strong. However,
     Facsimile 2,  from the Book of Abraham, notes Fig. 3. Is made to represent God,
     sitting upon his throne, clothed with power and authority; with a crown of eternal
     light upon his head, representing also the grand Key-words of the Holy Priesthood,
     as revealed to Adam in the Garden of Eden, as also to Seth, Noah, Melchizedek,
     Abraham, and all to whom the Priesthood was revealed (listed in Patriarchal Order).
     There were six days given in the scriptures for the creation of this earth by Elohim:
     The heads of the Gods, or, the head one of the Gods, appointed one God for us.
     And, the Sun, borrows its light from Kolob through the medium of Kae-e-vanrash,
     which is the grand Key, or in other words, the governing power, which governs
     fifteen (15) other fixed planets or stars, as also Floeese or the Moon, the Earth,
     and the Sun in their annual revolutions. The Ancient Jewish Urim and Thummim
     had the names of the twelve (12) Tribes engraved on the breastpiece, to which
     were added those of the three covenant Patriarchs: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob;
     together with the word shevet ("tribe") so as to encompass the whole alphabet;
     thus representing the (3) Patriarchal High Priest Heads of the full House of Israel;
     and the Priestly Breastplate, having individual Tribal gemstones, or The Jewels;
     linguistically together in oracle revelations, mathematically and astronomically.
     A full shadow of the Earth on the Moon has an apparent radius of curvature equal
     to the difference between the apparent radii of the Earth and the Sun as seen from
     the Moon. This radius can be seen to be equal to 0.75 degree, from which (with the
     solar apparent radius 0.25 degree) we get an Earth apparent radius of 1 degree.
     This yields for the Earth-Moon distance 60 Earth radii of 384,000 km. This procedure
     was first used by Aristarchus of Samos and Hipparchus; and later, Ptolemy's works.

009:   ENOCH (the son of JARED)

Family of Enoch:  (And Jared taught Enoch in all the ways of God. Enoch was a preacher
of righteousness, and spake and prophesied, and called upon all men everywhere
to repent. And faith was taught unto the children of men. And then began these men
to call upon the name of the Lord, and the Lord blessed them, 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 . . . And death hath come upon our fathers,
nevertheless, we know them and cannot deny, and even the first of all we know,
even Adam, for a book of remembrance we have written among us, according
to the pattern given by the finger of God, and it is given in our own language . . .
JST - Inspired Version) | Patriarchs (Bible) - Lifespan of the Biblical Patriarchs
[Research Note: The Adamic Language was a pattern given by the finger of God.
And behold, all things have their likeness; and all things are created and made
to bear record of me (Jesus Christ / Jehovah): both things which are temporal
and things which are spiritual, things which are in the heavens above, and things
which are on the earth, and things which are in the earth, and things which are
under the earth, both above and beneath, all things bear record of me (Jehovah).
JST - Inspired Version mentions geographic and biological abnormalities during
the lifetime of Enoch. There also came up a land out of the depths of the sea,
and so great was the fear of the enemies of the people of God that they fled,
and stood afar off, and went upon the land which came up out of the depths
of the sea. This implies a massive eruption of the sea bed floor, capable of also
sustaining the escaped human population. And the giants of the land also stood
afar off, and there went forth a curse upon all the people which fought against
God. And from that time forth, there were wars and bloodshed among them, . . .
land barren and unfruitful, cursed with much heat and perpetual barrenness. 
All these items put together, indicate temporal disturbances and corrupt activities
that produced negative biological, genetic DNA distortions and physical aberrations.
It seriously contradicts the false, unscientific, modern assertions of human origins;
especially Ancient DNA and Neanderthals, including modern human dating systems.

{Research Note: This article begins with the false statement that: "At a broad level,
a Creationist is someone who believes in a god who is absolute creator of heaven
and earth, out of nothing, by an act of free will." See: Meaning of the Word Create.
The article then states: "Such a deity is generally thought to be 'transcendent'
meaning beyond human experience, and constantly involved ('immanent')
in the creation, ready to intervene as necessary, and without whose constant
concern the creation would cease or disappear." This statement is fully contradicted
by the fact that God knows all of His children on earth, and desires them to know Him.
"And This Is Life Eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ,
whom thou hast sent."; which is clearly mentioned in the New Testament: John 17: 3.}

Marriage:

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.]
[Research Note: Plural Marriage "was believed in and practiced by the ancients"; noted
Brigham Young: Beneficial Effects of Polygamy (Journal of Discourses). As LDS President,
Brigham Young also stated "that if you desire with all your hearts to obtain the blessings
which Abraham obtained, you will be polygamists at least in your faith, or you will come
short of enjoying the salvation and the glory which Abraham has obtained. This is as true
as that God lives. . . . The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those
who enter into polygamy. Others attain unto a glory and may even be permitted to come
into the presence of the Father and the Son (in the Celestial Earth Kingdom; single, or in
a monogamously Temple sealed marriage), but they cannot (fully) reign as kings in glory,
because they had blessings offered unto them (to have power to save their own posterity),
and they refused to accept them." The Power to Seal on Earth and in Heaven remained
actively upon the earth until the days of Elijah the Prophet, one of Messengers with Keys.
Therefore, according to President Brigham Young, Jesus Christ had to have been married
to more than one wife, before he was exalted. Thus, the New Testament does not contain
a complete record of the Saints family relationships. Furthermore, Biblical society clearly
included plural marriage, as it was "believed in and practiced by the ancients", (as three
years previous to the death of Adam, he called Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared,
Enoch, and Methuselah; all just high priests, having the Holy Priesthood, after the Order
of the Son of God, with the residue of his, Adam's righteous posterity, into the green valley
of Adam-ondi-Ahman); which society continued on through Shem, or Melchizedek, the son
of Noah; to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, or Israel; down into the later Christian Gentile era.
This certainly indicates a tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical records, when actually
compared mathematically, with the high number of global inhabitants, in pre-flood times.
Section 138, Vision of the Redemption of the Dead (Doctrine and Covenants 138): "Among
the great and mighty ones who were assembled in this vast congregation of the righteous
were Father Adam, the Ancient of Days and father of all, And our glorious Mother Eve,
with many of her faithful daughters who had lived through the (past Old Testament) ages
and worshiped the true and living God." Adam, or Michael, as the Holy Patriarchal Head
of the Human Family, by Right, has been delegated to hold the keys of the resurrection
of the dead, from Jesus Christ, or Jehovah; having previously passed through that order,
and continuously assists in bringing to pass the crowning of his posterity with immortality,
and eternal lives, under the direction of Son Ahman, the Messiah, Lord of Lords, and King
of Kings. President Joseph F. Smith validates tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical
records,: "I saw the hosts of the dead, both small and great." -- "And there were gathered
together in one place an innumerable company of the spirits of the just who had been
faithful in the testimony of Jesus while they lived in mortality;" "They were assembled
awaiting the advent of the Son of God into the spirit world, to declare their redemption
from the bands of death." (Thus, this would have been an innumerable company of spirits
having lived in Old Testament times, as "Their sleeping dust was to be restored unto its
perfect frame . . .") "While this vast multitude waited and conversed, rejoicing in the hour
of their deliverance from the chains of death, the Son of God appeared, declaring liberty
to the captives who had been faithful," Also, this multitude did not include all the wicked.
Specific mention is made of seeing and critically identifying additional Old Testament
personalities: Abel, the first martyr; Seth, one of the mighty ones; Noah, of the flood era;
Shem, the great high priest (Melchizedek); Abraham, the father of the faithful; Isaac,
Jacob; Moses, the great law-giver of Israel; Isaiah, who spoke of the Messiah; Ezekiel;
Daniel; Elias, who appeared on the Mount of Transfiguration; and the prophet Malachi;
"All these and many more, even the prophets who dwelt among the Nephites and testified
of the coming of the Son of God, mingled in the vast assembly"; waiting for deliverance.
Furthermore, Jesus Christ mentions in Matthew 7: 19–23, when asked why Moses permitted
divorce; Jesus Christ declared: "Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered
you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you,
Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another,
committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery."
Isaiah 3 & 4 notes Zion and her daughters will be redeemed and cleansed in the coming
millennial day, by the restoration of polygamy: "And in that day, seven women shall
take hold of one man, saying: We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel;
only let us be called by thy name to take away our reproach"; re: 2 Nephi Chapter 14, as
mentioned in the Book of Mormon; indicating modern day Zion is yet filthy, beforehand.
Since there was no divorce in the beginning, under the ancient patriarchal priesthood,
the unity of family associations would have greatly expanded the number of the children
living upon the earth, down to the time of the period of the administration of prophet Elijah.
Therefore, it is priesthood unrighteous dominion, in the cancellation of Temple Sealings,
or civil divorces, and not genetic DNA, that promotes extreme mental cruelty within lives
of separated posterity; that is the origination of adultery, fornication; all perverted forms
of biological disorientation of the children; a diminished World Population Since Creation.]

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 present North American continent.

life: Biblical Hermeneutics Stack Exchange
[Research Note: Book of Moses clearly indicates that God weeps for the wickedness
of mankind. Therefore, it is self evident, that the attainment of resurrected Godhood,
does not terminate the eternal attachments of personal feelings for all other created
beings. Thus, a Highest Degree in the Celestial Heaven is a place of eternal joy for all
who obtain residency therein; nevertheless, eternal suffering because of godly charity,
remains constant as one of the critical attributes of everyone who obtains Godhood.]

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):

The Priesthood was first given to Adam. He obtained the First Presidency and held
the Keys of it. He obtained it in the creation before the world was formed, and they
remained on the earth until the Old Testament times of Elijah the Prophet; the last
of those prophets to hold the Keys of the Sealing Power of the Melchizedek Priesthood.
All the ancient prophets of the Old Testament times had the Melchizedek Priesthood.
The Order of the Melchizedek Priesthood was formerly called the High Priesthood of
the Holy Order of God, or the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God. It is
the Church of the Firstborn, or glorified Patriarchal Priesthood celestial heir members.
The sealed family is central to the Creator's plan for the eternal destiny of His children.
Old Testament Biblical Records include statements concerning High Priests presiding
in, or holding Priesthood Keys in the Melchizedek Priesthood, as well as Bishops, who
hold the mighty sacred keys over The Aaronic Priesthood: The Ministering of Angels.
Priesthood of Aaron restoration was performed by John the Baptist. The testimony of
Jesus Christ was: This is he, of whom it is written, behold, I send my messenger before
thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. For I say unto you, Among those
that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he
that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. And all the people that heard
him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of dear John.
Thus, we carefully listen to Andrea Bocelli - Angels We Have Heard On High - YouTube™.
Also: Listen to the Voice of Jesus Christ, your Lord, your God, and your Redeemer, whose
word is quick and powerful. And also John the son of Zacharias, which Zacharias he (Elias,
to whom I have committed the keys of bringing to pass the restoration of all things spoken
by the mouth of all the holy prophets since the world began, concerning the last days),
visited and gave promise that he should have a son, and his name should be John,
and he should be filled with the spirit of Elias; Which John I have have sent unto you,
my servants, Joseph Smith, Jun., and Oliver Cowdery, to ordain you unto the first priest-
hood, which you have received, that you might be called and ordained even as Aaron.

D&C 107: 48  Enoch was twenty-five years old when he was
ordained under the hand of Adam; and he was sixty-five and Adam
blessed him.  Moses 7: 19  And Enoch continued his preaching in
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.

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.

What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?

suggests: "Molecular science can help genealogists uncover previously unknown family
relationships, verify or refute claims to ancestry, and shed light on questions that have
puzzled family historians for years." There are however, scientific limitations involved,
when considering Latter-day Saint, or Christian belief systems, based upon Bible text;
showing The Internal Consistency and Historical Reliability of the Biblical Genealogies.
Scott Ray Woodward (biologist)] extracted and typed DNA going back millions of years.
Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His EASTER resurrection, validated by LDS (D&C 138),
suggest serious reconsiderations on the actual value of DNA studies, extrapolated back
in temporal time. Foremost of all, What are resurrected bodies like?, declares they are
physical; and thus, no physical bodies upon the earth for molecular science to evaluate.
Moroni, who lived in the fifth century AD, additionally is a physically resurrected being.
So what is left of the ancient molecular past, to scientifically evaluate, are remains from
wicked societies, and social environments, destined for a future Telestial or Terrestrial
eternal existence. All these societies, except for Noah and his family relationships, had
disruptive global flood experiences, degrading and altering their molecular body purity
(as well as a stated corruption of all flesh, intermingled between animals and humans).
Additionally, all spirit is matter, but it is more refined and pure, such that it is infinitely
incapable of being measured by modern technological instruments; nor by DNA data.
God of course knows all of His spirit children, and knows from the beginnings of their
spiritual birth in heaven; thus He knows the past, present and future of the Universe,
knowing beforehand, the beginnings and ends of all the works of His own Creations.

In conclusion then, What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
The Book of Mormon is the greatest primary witness on the face of the earth to validate
the authenticity of the Ancient Biblical Record, with Moroni as the greatest key witness.
The Prophet Moroni testifies emphatically that the Theory of Evolution is so completely
false, as noted in Line upon Line: Moroni 10:3–5. Behold, I would exhort you, that when
ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would
remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation
of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your
hearts. . . . And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things. . . .
The key element of this witness testimony concerning the real mortal existence of Adam,
and the factual evidence of the creation of the earth, and all the subsequent related things
thereto, is clearly stated within The Book of Ether. Moroni specifically abridged the record
of the Jaredites. Therefore, from a professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
he is an intimate, personally involved, eye-witness to this account of those twenty and four
plates which were found by the people of Limhi, which is called the Book of Ether. Moroni
mentions: "And as I suppose that the first part of this record, which speaks concerning the
creation of the world, and also of Adam, and an account from that time even to the great
tower, and whatsoever things transpired among the children of men until that time, is had
among the Jews-- Therefore I do not write those things which transpired from the days of
Adam until that time; but they are had upon the plates; and whoso findeth them, the same
will have power that he may get the full account" (as they are written in Adamic language).
Additionally Legal Records, the Brass Plates, held in the originating possession of Laban,
contained not only the Jewish scriptures, but also Lehi's own genealogy back to Joseph
in Egypt. From a dispassionate, professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
this directly relates to the genealogical Truths taught in 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi, Moroni had
access to the Brass Plates of Laban and knew that those records came forth out of the City
of Jerusalem; and were handed down intact by the seed of originating Nephite father Lehi.
Nevertheless, the very false theory, or secular doctrine of Evolution is currently, and very
openly, and proudly; blatantly expounded upon, by open-minded "scientific" leadership,
from the sacred halls of learning, at Brigham Young University. Yet, Nephi, son of Lehi,
had a vision of great significance, recorded in 1 Nephi 13:20–42: Plain and Precious Truths.
In particular, from a genealogical research standpoint, 1 Nephi 13: 23, the Gentiles, or us,
today, had a book, which an angel from the Throne of God in Heaven declared, stating:
Behold it proceedeth out of the mouth of a Jew (collectively, the ancestry of the Jews).
"The book that thou beholdest is a record of the Jews, which contains the covenants
of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house of Israel (from Old Testament times);
and it also containeth many of the prophecies of the holy prophets; and it is a record
like unto the engravings which are upon the plates of brass, save there are not so many;
nevertheless, they contain the covenants of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house
of Israel; wherefore, they are of great worth unto the Gentiles." Organic Evolution is false.

Biblical Chronology of the World: Tracing ancient records from Adam to Father Abraham.
"Neither can there be a doubt existing on the mind of any person, that Adam was the first
who did communicate the knowledge of the existence of a God, to his posterity; and that
the whole faith of the world, from that time down to the present (now to the 21st Century),
is in a certain degree, dependent on the knowledge first communicated to them by their
common progenitor; and it has been handed down to the day and generation in which
we live, as we shall show (by Biblical chronology) from the face of the sacred records."

A.  Chronicles of Jerahmeel Index- Next: XXVI [Eleazar ben Asher ha-Levi], 12th century.
     (8) After Methuselah, Enoch begat five sons, viz., ‘Anaz, Lē‘on, ‘Akhaôn, Pĕlēdi,
     and Elēd, and three daughters, viz., Tēid, Lēfīd, Laēad. Then God desired Enoch
     and took him away. . . . And Enoch--who was the author of many writing--walked
     with God, and was no more, for God had taken him away and placed him in the
     Garden of Eden, where he will remain until Elijah shall appear and restore the
     hearts of the fathers to the children.

B.  Book of Jubilees . . . [Chapter 4] The Book of Jubilees
     About 15 Jubilees scrolls written in Hebrew were found at Qumran. . . .
     And in the twelfth jubilee, [582-88] in the seventh week thereof, he [Enoch] took
     to himself a wife, and her name was Edna, the daughter of Danel, the daughter
     of his father's brother, and in the sixth year in this week [587 A.M.] she bare him
     a son and he called his name Methuselah.
     Sacred Times: The Book of Jubilees at Qumran

C.  Book of Jasher 3
     And these are the generations of Enoch, Methuselah, Elisha, and Elimelech, three sons;
     and their sisters were Melca and Nahmah, and Methuselah lived eighty-seven years and
     he begat Lamech. [Research Note: Mention made that: "Where is the man who wishes
     to know the ways of the Lord and good works? let him come to Enoch. And all the sons
     of men then assembled to him, for all who desired this thing went to Enoch, and Enoch
     reigned over the sons of men according to the word of the Lord, and they came and
     bowed to him and they heard his word. . . . And all the kings of the sons of men, (those
     who desired righteousness), both first and last, together with their princes and judges,
     came to Enoch . . . And they assembled in all, one hundred and thirty kings and princes
     . . . And Enoch reigned over the sons of men two hundred and forty-three years . . .
     Who Was Enoch? notes Key Events in Enoch's Life included him being ordained
     to the priesthood by Adam at age 25. At age 65 he was blessed by Adam, which also
     was the age when Enoch's son Methuselah was born; also thereafter, directly called
     by God to preach repentance, which culminated in Zion City being fully established.
     (Moses 7:68  And all of the days of ZION, in the days of Enoch, were three hundred
     and sixty-five years.)  Take A. D. 2025, subtract 365 years = A. D. 1660 time period.
     For a modern comparison, Infoplease estimates the American Colonial Population
     was 350, in A. D. 1610; increasing to 75,100, in A. D. 1660. By the time of the 1776 era of
     United States Declaration of Independence, the U.S. population was 2.5 million people.
     Add 243 years = A. D. 2019; with the U. S. population at 328,239,523 counted individuals.
     Compare also the Book of Mormon Population Statistics « Meridian Magazine, starting
     with "Some 2,500 men, women, and children" listed circa AD 34, with further gathered
     large multitude, from surrounding towns; forward to circa AD 322, less than 300 years,
     when Mormon reported of the land southward, that "The whole face of the land had
     become covered with buildings, and the people were as numerous almost, as it were
     the sand of the sea" (Mormon 1:7). This would have also included the land northward,
     as (4 Nephi 1: 22-23), mentions also, that two hundred years had passed away . . .
     And now I, Mormon, would that ye should know that the people had multiplied,
     insomuch that they were spread upon all the face of the land, . . . (N. & S. America).
     This should be compared with (Jarom 1:5, 8), wherein, circa 400 B. C., Jarom records
     that the people of Nephi had "multiplied exceedingly, and spread upon the face
     of the land." And in (Jarom 1: 6), the Lamanites also were "scattered upon much
     of the face of the land", but they were "exceedingly more numerous", than Nephites.
     Compare also: All the Population Figures of the Hebrew Bible. Also, for usage, note
     in particular, the famine in Egypt. For, in Genesis 41, when Joseph was in Egypt,
     And the famine was over all the face of the earth: And Joseph opened all the
     storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land
     of Egypt. And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn, because that
     the famine was so sore in all lands. Now this statement prophesies, in these last days:
     The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, to prepare storehouses for the nations
     of earth, as well as their own people; for the time when God destroys all earth's crops.]

F.  Antiquities of the Jews - Book I - From the Creation to the Death of Isaac
     "Now when Noah had lived three hundred and fifty years after the Flood, and that
     all that time happily, he died, having lived the number of nine hundred and fifty
     years. But let no one, upon comparing the lives of the ancients with our lives, and
     with the few years which we now live, think that what we have said of them is false;
     or make the shortness of our lives at present an argument, that neither did they attain
     to so long a duration of life, for those ancients were beloved of God, and [lately]
     made by God himself; and because their food was then fitter for the prolongation
     of life, might well live so great a number of years: and besides, God afforded them
     a longer time of life on account of their virtue, and the good use they made of it in
     astronomical and geometrical discoveries, which would not have afforded the time
     of foretelling [the periods of the stars] unless they had lived six hundred years; for
     the Great Year is completed in that interval. Now I have for witnesses to what I have
     said, all those that have written Antiquities, both among the Greeks and barbarians;
     for even Manetho, who wrote the Egyptian History, and Berosus, who collected the
     Chaldean Monuments, and Mochus, and Hestieus, and besides these, Hieronymus
     the Egyptian, and those who composed the Phoenician History, agree to what I here
     say: Hesiod also, and Hecatseus, Hellanicus, and Acusilaus; and besides these,
     Ephorus and Nicolaus relate that the ancients lived a thousand years. But as to these
     matters, let every one look upon them as he thinks fit."  [Research Note: One Day in
     the process of Creation, to God Ahman on Kolob, is equivalent to 1,000 earth years.
     Berossus, or Berosus, circa 3rd century B. C., reckoned time in intervals of 60, 600,
     and 3600 years: a base-60 (Sexagesimal system); with 5 as one of the prime numbers.
     The number of seconds in minute, the number of minutes in an hour is also base-60.
     Grammar and Alphabet of the Egyptian Language, circa July–circa November 1835,
     has characters arranged into five degrees; being arranged differently in each part.
     Mathematics/Astronomy - Wikiversity, shows that Altitude (Alt), sometimes referred
     to as elevation, is the angle between the object and the observer's local horizon. It
     is expressed as an angle between 0 degrees to 90 degrees; and 5 divides into 90
     degrees = 18 times; and that 6 divides into 90 degrees = 15 times. Now, the Behenian
     fixed stars are a selection of fifteen stars considered especially useful for magical
     applications in the medieval astrology of Europe and the Arab world; each is also
     connected with a gemstone and plant; and when a planet was within six degrees
     of an associated star, this influence was thought to be particularly strong. However,
     Facsimile 2,  from the Book of Abraham, notes Fig. 3. Is made to represent God,
     sitting upon his throne, clothed with power and authority; with a crown of eternal
     light upon his head, representing also the grand Key-words of the Holy Priesthood,
     as revealed to Adam in the Garden of Eden, as also to Seth, Noah, Melchizedek,
     Abraham, and all to whom the Priesthood was revealed (listed in Patriarchal Order).
     There were six days given in the scriptures for the creation of this earth by Elohim:
     The heads of the Gods, or, the head one of the Gods, appointed one God for us.
     And, the Sun, borrows its light from Kolob through the medium of Kae-e-vanrash,
     which is the grand Key, or in other words, the governing power, which governs
     fifteen (15) other fixed planets or stars, as also Floeese or the Moon, the Earth,
     and the Sun in their annual revolutions. The Ancient Jewish Urim and Thummim
     had the names of the twelve (12) Tribes engraved on the breastpiece, to which
     were added those of the three covenant Patriarchs: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob;
     together with the word shevet ("tribe") so as to encompass the whole alphabet;
     thus representing the (3) Patriarchal High Priest Heads of the full House of Israel;
     and the Priestly Breastplate, having individual Tribal gemstones, or The Jewels;
     linguistically together in oracle revelations, mathematically and astronomically.
     A full shadow of the Earth on the Moon has an apparent radius of curvature equal
     to the difference between the apparent radii of the Earth and the Sun as seen from
     the Moon. This radius can be seen to be equal to 0.75 degree, from which (with the
     solar apparent radius 0.25 degree) we get an Earth apparent radius of 1 degree.
     This yields for the Earth-Moon distance 60 Earth radii of 384,000 km. This procedure
     was first used by Aristarchus of Samos and Hipparchus; and later, Ptolemy's works.

010:   METHUSELAH (the son of ENOCH)

Family of Methuselah: (And it came to pass that Methuselah, the son of Enoch,
was not taken, that the covenants of the Lord might be fulfilled which he made
to Enoch, for he truly covenanted with Enoch that Noah should be of the fruit
of his loins. And it came to pass that Methuselah prophesied that from his loins
should spring all the kingdoms of the earth {through Noah}, and he took glory
unto himself. And there came forth a great famine into the land, and the Lord
cursed the earth with a sore curse, and many of the inhabitants thereof died.
This indicates there were a continuous series of calamities from Enoch's time.
In fact, in JST - Genesis - Inspired Version, it states that Enoch saw the Lord,
and He stood before Enoch's face, and He talked with Enoch, even as a man
talketh one with another, face to face, and he said unto Enoch, "Look, and I
will show unto thee the world for the space of many generations. And it came
to pass that I beheld {while standing upon the mount Simeon}, in the valley
of Shum, and lo, a great people which dwelt in tents, which were the people
of Shum. And again the Lord said unto me, Look. And I looked towards the north,
and I beheld the people of Cainan, which dwelt in tents. And the Lord said unto
me, Prophesy. And I prophesied, saying, Behold, the people of Cainan, which are
numerous, shall go forth in battle array against the people of Shum and shall
slay them, that they shall be utterly destroyed. And the people of Cainan shall
divide themselves in the land, and the land shall be barren and unfruitful,
and none other people shall dwell there but the people of Cainan, for behold,
the Lord shall curse the land with much heat, and the barrenness thereof shall
go forth forever. And there was a blackness came upon all the children of Cainan,
that they were despised among all people." The soil no longer yielded her strength.
Apocryphal: Book of Enoch: Enoch - Wikisource - The Book of Giants: Book of Giants
Text: The Book of the Giants - The Complete Book of Enoch: Standard English Version
[Research Note: Satan, or Lucifer, is an evil spirit son of God who was once an angel,
in authority in the presence of God. The Devil rebelled against God, and along with his
followers, consisting of 1/3 of the hosts of heaven, in the premortal Council in Heaven,
{numbering in the billions of Heavenly Father's spirit children}, have been cast down,
without physical bodies, upon the face of the planet Earth; who all together, seek
to destroy the children of God on the earth, and to make them forever miserable.
Chapter 3 - Fallen Angels, the children of the heaven, is a distortion of living giants,
or men that were not affiliated with the ancient Patriarchal Church of Jesus Christ.
They seduced, captured, or raped daughters in the families of the Patriarchs. Angels,
cast down upon the earth, have no physical bodies, and do not have power to have
biological interrelationships, or choose wives and beget children, or living posterity.
Since Michael, the Archangel, was Adam on the earth, and Enoch was 308 years old,
when Adam died, Chapter 4 - Intercession of Angels, is a complex distortion of facts.
Their oaths taken are similar to those of the Book of Mormon Gadianton Robbers; etc.]

Biblical Catastrophism and Geology | School of Biblical Apologetics mentions:
"The major elements of the Biblical framework, within which all data should
be organized, are three great recorded facts of history. These events are
(1) the Creation, (2) the Fall, and (3) the Flood. Each of these three affected
the entire globe." Nevertheless, a careful and systematic reading of scriptures
indicates evil human behavior has been the overarching source of the wrath
of God, the Eternal Father, beginning with Cain murdering his brother Abel;
as the ground would no longer "yield unto [Cain] her strength". Throughout
the history of the Old Testament, unrighteous, violent societies were cursed,
culminating with massive, worldwide destruction, at the death of the Messiah.
Geological history, or the use of any geological chronometer, must include all
earthly catastrophes arising out of the destructive nature of human wickedness;
which within its closed social system, causes the natural increase in the physical
disorganization, or an increase in entropy {disordered randomness} of the planet.
According to The Ages of the Patriarchs in the Joseph Smith Translation, Adam
lived longer, or had a longer lifespan than Methuselah. JST - Inspired Version.
Correction of the ages of various ancient Patriarchs validates their authenticity.)
Methuselah: Methuselah / Methuselah / Methuselah |

Marriage:

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.]
[Research Note: Plural Marriage "was believed in and practiced by the ancients"; noted
Brigham Young: Beneficial Effects of Polygamy (Journal of Discourses). As LDS President,
Brigham Young also stated "that if you desire with all your hearts to obtain the blessings
which Abraham obtained, you will be polygamists at least in your faith, or you will come
short of enjoying the salvation and the glory which Abraham has obtained. This is as true
as that God lives. . . . The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those
who enter into polygamy. Others attain unto a glory and may even be permitted to come
into the presence of the Father and the Son (in the Celestial Earth Kingdom; single, or in
a monogamously Temple sealed marriage), but they cannot (fully) reign as kings in glory,
because they had blessings offered unto them (to have power to save their own posterity),
and they refused to accept them." The Power to Seal on Earth and in Heaven remained
actively upon the earth until the days of Elijah the Prophet, one of Messengers with Keys.
Therefore, according to President Brigham Young, Jesus Christ had to have been married
to more than one wife, before he was exalted. Thus, the New Testament does not contain
a complete record of the Saints family relationships. Furthermore, Biblical society clearly
included plural marriage, as it was "believed in and practiced by the ancients", (as three
years previous to the death of Adam, he called Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared,
Enoch, and Methuselah; all just high priests, having the Holy Priesthood, after the Order
of the Son of God, with the residue of his, Adam's righteous posterity, into the green valley
of Adam-ondi-Ahman); which society continued on through Shem, or Melchizedek, the son
of Noah; to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, or Israel; down into the later Christian Gentile era.
This certainly indicates a tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical records, when actually
compared mathematically, with the high number of global inhabitants, in pre-flood times.
Section 138, Vision of the Redemption of the Dead (Doctrine and Covenants 138): "Among
the great and mighty ones who were assembled in this vast congregation of the righteous
were Father Adam, the Ancient of Days and father of all, And our glorious Mother Eve,
with many of her faithful daughters who had lived through the (past Old Testament) ages
and worshiped the true and living God." Adam, or Michael, as the Holy Patriarchal Head
of the Human Family, by Right, has been delegated to hold the keys of the resurrection
of the dead, from Jesus Christ, or Jehovah; having previously passed through that order,
and continuously assists in bringing to pass the crowning of his posterity with immortality,
and eternal lives, under the direction of Son Ahman, the Messiah, Lord of Lords, and King
of Kings. President Joseph F. Smith validates tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical
records,: "I saw the hosts of the dead, both small and great." -- "And there were gathered
together in one place an innumerable company of the spirits of the just who had been
faithful in the testimony of Jesus while they lived in mortality;" "They were assembled
awaiting the advent of the Son of God into the spirit world, to declare their redemption
from the bands of death." (Thus, this would have been an innumerable company of spirits
having lived in Old Testament times, as "Their sleeping dust was to be restored unto its
perfect frame . . .") "While this vast multitude waited and conversed, rejoicing in the hour
of their deliverance from the chains of death, the Son of God appeared, declaring liberty
to the captives who had been faithful," Also, this multitude did not include all the wicked.
Specific mention is made of seeing and critically identifying additional Old Testament
personalities: Abel, the first martyr; Seth, one of the mighty ones; Noah, of the flood era;
Shem, the great high priest (Melchizedek); Abraham, the father of the faithful; Isaac,
Jacob; Moses, the great law-giver of Israel; Isaiah, who spoke of the Messiah; Ezekiel;
Daniel; Elias, who appeared on the Mount of Transfiguration; and the prophet Malachi;
"All these and many more, even the prophets who dwelt among the Nephites and testified
of the coming of the Son of God, mingled in the vast assembly"; waiting for deliverance.
Furthermore, Jesus Christ mentions in Matthew 7: 19–23, when asked why Moses permitted
divorce; Jesus Christ declared: "Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered
you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you,
Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another,
committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery."
Isaiah 3 & 4 notes Zion and her daughters will be redeemed and cleansed in the coming
millennial day, by the restoration of polygamy: "And in that day, seven women shall
take hold of one man, saying: We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel;
only let us be called by thy name to take away our reproach"; re: 2 Nephi Chapter 14, as
mentioned in the Book of Mormon; indicating modern day Zion is yet filthy, beforehand.
Since there was no divorce in the beginning, under the ancient patriarchal priesthood,
the unity of family associations would have greatly expanded the number of the children
living upon the earth, down to the time of the period of the administration of prophet Elijah.
Therefore, it is priesthood unrighteous dominion, in the cancellation of Temple Sealings,
or civil divorces, and not genetic DNA, that promotes extreme mental cruelty within lives
of separated posterity; that is the origination of adultery, fornication; all perverted forms
of biological disorientation of the children; a diminished World Population Since Creation.]

The Priesthood was first given to Adam. He obtained the First Presidency and held
the Keys of it. He obtained it in the creation before the world was formed, and they
remained on the earth until the Old Testament times of Elijah the Prophet; the last
of those prophets to hold the Keys of the Sealing Power of the Melchizedek Priesthood.
All the ancient prophets of the Old Testament times had the Melchizedek Priesthood.
The Order of the Melchizedek Priesthood was formerly called the High Priesthood of
the Holy Order of God, or the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God. It is
the Church of the Firstborn, or glorified Patriarchal Priesthood celestial heir members.
The sealed family is central to the Creator's plan for the eternal destiny of His children.
Old Testament Biblical Records include statements concerning High Priests presiding
in, or holding Priesthood Keys in the Melchizedek Priesthood, as well as Bishops, who
hold the mighty sacred keys over The Aaronic Priesthood: The Ministering of Angels.
Priesthood of Aaron restoration was performed by John the Baptist. The testimony of
Jesus Christ was: This is he, of whom it is written, behold, I send my messenger before
thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. For I say unto you, Among those
that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he
that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. And all the people that heard
him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of dear John.
Thus, we carefully listen to Andrea Bocelli - Angels We Have Heard On High - YouTube™.
Also: Listen to the Voice of Jesus Christ, your Lord, your God, and your Redeemer, whose
word is quick and powerful. And also John the son of Zacharias, which Zacharias he (Elias,
to whom I have committed the keys of bringing to pass the restoration of all things spoken
by the mouth of all the holy prophets since the world began, concerning the last days),
visited and gave promise that he should have a son, and his name should be John,
and he should be filled with the spirit of Elias; Which John I have have sent unto you,
my servants, Joseph Smith, Jun., and Oliver Cowdery, to ordain you unto the first priest-
hood, which you have received, that you might be called and ordained even as Aaron.

D&C 107: 50  Methuselah was one hundred years old when he
was ordained under the hand of Adam.  D&C 107: 52  Noah was
ten years old when he was ordained under the hand of Methuselah.
D&C 107: 53  Methuselah was a High Priest D&C 107: 3
in the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God.
"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.

What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
[Research Note: RootsTech • FamilySearch was presented 29 Feb 2024 - 02 Mar 2024; it
did "provide meaningful connections through a deeper understanding of family history
and genealogy." Class Schedule Preview shows 27 DNA results. A Search of RootsTech
On-Demand Library reveals an added 289 results. The Science of Molecular Genealogy
suggests: "Molecular science can help genealogists uncover previously unknown family
relationships, verify or refute claims to ancestry, and shed light on questions that have
puzzled family historians for years." There are however, scientific limitations involved,
when considering Latter-day Saint, or Christian belief systems, based upon Bible text;
showing The Internal Consistency and Historical Reliability of the Biblical Genealogies.
Scott Ray Woodward (biologist)] extracted and typed DNA going back millions of years.
Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His EASTER resurrection, validated by LDS (D&C 138),
suggest serious reconsiderations on the actual value of DNA studies, extrapolated back
in temporal time. Foremost of all, What are resurrected bodies like?, declares they are
physical; and thus, no physical bodies upon the earth for molecular science to evaluate.
Moroni, who lived in the fifth century AD, additionally is a physically resurrected being.
So what is left of the ancient molecular past, to scientifically evaluate, are remains from
wicked societies, and social environments, destined for a future Telestial or Terrestrial
eternal existence. All these societies, except for Noah and his family relationships, had
disruptive global flood experiences, degrading and altering their molecular body purity
(as well as a stated corruption of all flesh, intermingled between animals and humans).
Additionally, all spirit is matter, but it is more refined and pure, such that it is infinitely
incapable of being measured by modern technological instruments; nor by DNA data.
God of course knows all of His spirit children, and knows from the beginnings of their
spiritual birth in heaven; thus He knows the past, present and future of the Universe,
knowing beforehand, the beginnings and ends of all the works of His own Creations.

In conclusion then, What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
The Book of Mormon is the greatest primary witness on the face of the earth to validate
the authenticity of the Ancient Biblical Record, with Moroni as the greatest key witness.
The Prophet Moroni testifies emphatically that the Theory of Evolution is so completely
false, as noted in Line upon Line: Moroni 10:3–5. Behold, I would exhort you, that when
ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would
remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation
of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your
hearts. . . . And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things. . . .
The key element of this witness testimony concerning the real mortal existence of Adam,
and the factual evidence of the creation of the earth, and all the subsequent related things
thereto, is clearly stated within The Book of Ether. Moroni specifically abridged the record
of the Jaredites. Therefore, from a professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
he is an intimate, personally involved, eye-witness to this account of those twenty and four
plates which were found by the people of Limhi, which is called the Book of Ether. Moroni
mentions: "And as I suppose that the first part of this record, which speaks concerning the
creation of the world, and also of Adam, and an account from that time even to the great
tower, and whatsoever things transpired among the children of men until that time, is had
among the Jews-- Therefore I do not write those things which transpired from the days of
Adam until that time; but they are had upon the plates; and whoso findeth them, the same
will have power that he may get the full account" (as they are written in Adamic language).
Additionally Legal Records, the Brass Plates, held in the originating possession of Laban,
contained not only the Jewish scriptures, but also Lehi's own genealogy back to Joseph
in Egypt. From a dispassionate, professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
this directly relates to the genealogical Truths taught in 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi, Moroni had
access to the Brass Plates of Laban and knew that those records came forth out of the City
of Jerusalem; and were handed down intact by the seed of originating Nephite father Lehi.
Nevertheless, the very false theory, or secular doctrine of Evolution is currently, and very
openly, and proudly; blatantly expounded upon, by open-minded "scientific" leadership,
from the sacred halls of learning, at Brigham Young University. Yet, Nephi, son of Lehi,
had a vision of great significance, recorded in 1 Nephi 13:20–42: Plain and Precious Truths.
In particular, from a genealogical research standpoint, 1 Nephi 13: 23, the Gentiles, or us,
today, had a book, which an angel from the Throne of God in Heaven declared, stating:
Behold it proceedeth out of the mouth of a Jew (collectively, the ancestry of the Jews).
"The book that thou beholdest is a record of the Jews, which contains the covenants
of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house of Israel (from Old Testament times);
and it also containeth many of the prophecies of the holy prophets; and it is a record
like unto the engravings which are upon the plates of brass, save there are not so many;
nevertheless, they contain the covenants of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house
of Israel; wherefore, they are of great worth unto the Gentiles." Organic Evolution is false.

Understanding Historical Dates And Calendars For Genealogical Research
[Research Note: Calendars are part of record keeping. There is no real physical science
in existence without accurate record keeping, to determine what has transpired in past
events, or real experiments, to determine what is going on in the present, or knowing
what calculated future outcomes will be. True and perfect science is based upon written
testimony, and the testimony of Jesus Christ is the The Spirit of Prophecy: true science.
There are the massive amounts of witnesses verifying the origination of calendar record
keeping, before, and since the beginning of time.  References are found in Astronomy /
Astronomy, where records of the fathers contain knowledge of creation: planets, stars.
See references: Book of Remembrance, Knowledge, Record, and Write, Wrote, Written;
for the Lord always commands all men to write all the words which he speaks to them.
Revelation, 27–28 December 1832, Broadsheet [D&C 88:1–126], Page 1 mentions two great
concepts: (1) All kingdoms have a law given; and there are many kingdoms; for there is no
space in the which there is no kingdom; & there is no kingdom in which there is no space,
either a greater or lesser kingdom. And unto every kingdom is given a law; and unto every
law there are certain bounds, also, and conditions. (2) . . . for intelligence cleaveth unto
intelligence . . . judgment goeth before the face of him who sitteth upon the throne,
and governeth and executeth all things; he comprehendeth all things, and all things
are before him, and all things are round about him; and he is above all things, and in
all things, and is through all things, and is round about all things: and all things are
by him, and of him; even God, for ever, and ever. From a viewpoint of heavenly physics
and astronomy: there is no vacuum in the Universe; forever having matter and energy
existing in an intertwined state of being. Furthermore, the Universe is forever in control,
magnifying the Glory of God, within all its elements; condensing disparate intelligences.]

     About 15 Jubilees scrolls written in Hebrew were found at Qumran. . . .
     And in the fourteenth jubilee [652 A.M.] Methuselah took unto himself a wife, Edna
     the daughter of Azrial, the daughter of his father's brother, in the third week, in the
     first year of this week, [701-7 A.M.] and he begat a son and called his name Lamech.
     Sacred Times: The Book of Jubilees at Qumran

C.  Ancient Biblical Lifespans: Did Adam Live Over 900 Years?
     Yes.  The chronological record was preserved and handed down,
     available in fact to Jacob in Egypt, who testified and lamented:
     Genesis 47: 9  "And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of
     my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the
     days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days
     of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage."

D.  Why Did Man Live Longer before the Flood?

E.  Antiquities of the Jews - Book I - From the Creation to the Death of Isaac
     "Now when Noah had lived three hundred and fifty years after the Flood, and that
     all that time happily, he died, having lived the number of nine hundred and fifty
     years. But let no one, upon comparing the lives of the ancients with our lives, and
     with the few years which we now live, think that what we have said of them is false;
     or make the shortness of our lives at present an argument, that neither did they attain
     to so long a duration of life, for those ancients were beloved of God, and [lately]
     made by God himself; and because their food was then fitter for the prolongation
     of life, might well live so great a number of years: and besides, God afforded them
     a longer time of life on account of their virtue, and the good use they made of it in
     astronomical and geometrical discoveries, which would not have afforded the time
     of foretelling [the periods of the stars] unless they had lived six hundred years; for
     the Great Year is completed in that interval. Now I have for witnesses to what I have
     said, all those that have written Antiquities, both among the Greeks and barbarians;
     for even Manetho, who wrote the Egyptian History, and Berosus, who collected the
     Chaldean Monuments, and Mochus, and Hestieus, and besides these, Hieronymus
     the Egyptian, and those who composed the Phoenician History, agree to what I here
     say: Hesiod also, and Hecatseus, Hellanicus, and Acusilaus; and besides these,
     Ephorus and Nicolaus relate that the ancients lived a thousand years. But as to these
     matters, let every one look upon them as he thinks fit."  [Research Note: One Day in
     the process of Creation, to God Ahman on Kolob, is equivalent to 1,000 earth years.
     Berossus, or Berosus, circa 3rd century B. C., reckoned time in intervals of 60, 600,
     and 3600 years: a base-60 (Sexagesimal system); with 5 as one of the prime numbers.
     The number of seconds in minute, the number of minutes in an hour is also base-60.
     Grammar and Alphabet of the Egyptian Language, circa July–circa November 1835,
     has characters arranged into five degrees; being arranged differently in each part.
     Mathematics/Astronomy - Wikiversity, shows that Altitude (Alt), sometimes referred
     to as elevation, is the angle between the object and the observer's local horizon. It
     is expressed as an angle between 0 degrees to 90 degrees; and 5 divides into 90
     degrees = 18 times; and that 6 divides into 90 degrees = 15 times. Now, the Behenian
     fixed stars are a selection of fifteen stars considered especially useful for magical
     applications in the medieval astrology of Europe and the Arab world; each is also
     connected with a gemstone and plant; and when a planet was within six degrees
     of an associated star, this influence was thought to be particularly strong. However,
     Facsimile 2,  from the Book of Abraham, notes Fig. 3. Is made to represent God,
     sitting upon his throne, clothed with power and authority; with a crown of eternal
     light upon his head, representing also the grand Key-words of the Holy Priesthood,
     as revealed to Adam in the Garden of Eden, as also to Seth, Noah, Melchizedek,
     Abraham, and all to whom the Priesthood was revealed (listed in Patriarchal Order).
     There were six days given in the scriptures for the creation of this earth by Elohim:
     The heads of the Gods, or, the head one of the Gods, appointed one God for us.
     And, the Sun, borrows its light from Kolob through the medium of Kae-e-vanrash,
     which is the grand Key, or in other words, the governing power, which governs
     fifteen (15) other fixed planets or stars, as also Floeese or the Moon, the Earth,
     and the Sun in their annual revolutions. The Ancient Jewish Urim and Thummim
     had the names of the twelve (12) Tribes engraved on the breastpiece, to which
     were added those of the three covenant Patriarchs: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob;
     together with the word shevet ("tribe") so as to encompass the whole alphabet;
     thus representing the (3) Patriarchal High Priest Heads of the full House of Israel;
     and the Priestly Breastplate, having individual Tribal gemstones, or The Jewels;
     linguistically together in oracle revelations, mathematically and astronomically.
     A full shadow of the Earth on the Moon has an apparent radius of curvature equal
     to the difference between the apparent radii of the Earth and the Sun as seen from
     the Moon. This radius can be seen to be equal to 0.75 degree, from which (with the
     solar apparent radius 0.25 degree) we get an Earth apparent radius of 1 degree.
     This yields for the Earth-Moon distance 60 Earth radii of 384,000 km. This procedure
     was first used by Aristarchus of Samos and Hipparchus; and later, Ptolemy's works.

011:   LAMECH (the son of METHUSELAH)

Family of Lamech: (Lamech was a great, grand Patriarch, who held the Keys
of the Priesthood. Lamech begat a son, and he called his name Noah, saying,
This son shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands because of
the ground which the Lord hath cursed. JST - Inspired Version)
Lamech (father of Noah): Lamech / Lamech / Lamech |

Marriage: [Gilbert Burrington (author): Notes on Table I. (v); on page 6, Noah.
The Oriental writers make Noah the son of ii. Lamech, by Shamkha the daughter of Enosh.
See Sale's Note on Koran, vol. ii. p. 462. ALSO (w); on page 6, (Noah's) Wife. The reader
who is inclined to see the various names given by Eastern writers and others to Noah's
Wife, may consult Calmet in his Diet. Art. Noah and Noema; and Sale's Notes on Koran,
c. xi., Note a, p. 21, and clxvi., Note g.]

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.]
[Research Note: Plural Marriage "was believed in and practiced by the ancients"; noted
Brigham Young: Beneficial Effects of Polygamy (Journal of Discourses). As LDS President,
Brigham Young also stated "that if you desire with all your hearts to obtain the blessings
which Abraham obtained, you will be polygamists at least in your faith, or you will come
short of enjoying the salvation and the glory which Abraham has obtained. This is as true
as that God lives. . . . The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those
who enter into polygamy. Others attain unto a glory and may even be permitted to come
into the presence of the Father and the Son (in the Celestial Earth Kingdom; single, or in
a monogamously Temple sealed marriage), but they cannot (fully) reign as kings in glory,
because they had blessings offered unto them (to have power to save their own posterity),
and they refused to accept them." The Power to Seal on Earth and in Heaven remained
actively upon the earth until the days of Elijah the Prophet, one of Messengers with Keys.
Therefore, according to President Brigham Young, Jesus Christ had to have been married
to more than one wife, before he was exalted. Thus, the New Testament does not contain
a complete record of the Saints family relationships. Furthermore, Biblical society clearly
included plural marriage, as it was "believed in and practiced by the ancients", (as three
years previous to the death of Adam, he called Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared,
Enoch, and Methuselah; all just high priests, having the Holy Priesthood, after the Order
of the Son of God, with the residue of his, Adam's righteous posterity, into the green valley
of Adam-ondi-Ahman); which society continued on through Shem, or Melchizedek, the son
of Noah; to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, or Israel; down into the later Christian Gentile era.
This certainly indicates a tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical records, when actually
compared mathematically, with the high number of global inhabitants, in pre-flood times.
Section 138, Vision of the Redemption of the Dead (Doctrine and Covenants 138): "Among
the great and mighty ones who were assembled in this vast congregation of the righteous
were Father Adam, the Ancient of Days and father of all, And our glorious Mother Eve,
with many of her faithful daughters who had lived through the (past Old Testament) ages
and worshiped the true and living God." Adam, or Michael, as the Holy Patriarchal Head
of the Human Family, by Right, has been delegated to hold the keys of the resurrection
of the dead, from Jesus Christ, or Jehovah; having previously passed through that order,
and continuously assists in bringing to pass the crowning of his posterity with immortality,
and eternal lives, under the direction of Son Ahman, the Messiah, Lord of Lords, and King
of Kings. President Joseph F. Smith validates tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical
records,: "I saw the hosts of the dead, both small and great." -- "And there were gathered
together in one place an innumerable company of the spirits of the just who had been
faithful in the testimony of Jesus while they lived in mortality;" "They were assembled
awaiting the advent of the Son of God into the spirit world, to declare their redemption
from the bands of death." (Thus, this would have been an innumerable company of spirits
having lived in Old Testament times, as "Their sleeping dust was to be restored unto its
perfect frame . . .") "While this vast multitude waited and conversed, rejoicing in the hour
of their deliverance from the chains of death, the Son of God appeared, declaring liberty
to the captives who had been faithful," Also, this multitude did not include all the wicked.
Specific mention is made of seeing and critically identifying additional Old Testament
personalities: Abel, the first martyr; Seth, one of the mighty ones; Noah, of the flood era;
Shem, the great high priest (Melchizedek); Abraham, the father of the faithful; Isaac,
Jacob; Moses, the great law-giver of Israel; Isaiah, who spoke of the Messiah; Ezekiel;
Daniel; Elias, who appeared on the Mount of Transfiguration; and the prophet Malachi;
"All these and many more, even the prophets who dwelt among the Nephites and testified
of the coming of the Son of God, mingled in the vast assembly"; waiting for deliverance.
Furthermore, Jesus Christ mentions in Matthew 7: 19–23, when asked why Moses permitted
divorce; Jesus Christ declared: "Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered
you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you,
Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another,
committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery."
Isaiah 3 & 4 notes Zion and her daughters will be redeemed and cleansed in the coming
millennial day, by the restoration of polygamy: "And in that day, seven women shall
take hold of one man, saying: We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel;
only let us be called by thy name to take away our reproach"; re: 2 Nephi Chapter 14, as
mentioned in the Book of Mormon; indicating modern day Zion is yet filthy, beforehand.
Since there was no divorce in the beginning, under the ancient patriarchal priesthood,
the unity of family associations would have greatly expanded the number of the children
living upon the earth, down to the time of the period of the administration of prophet Elijah.
Therefore, it is priesthood unrighteous dominion, in the cancellation of Temple Sealings,
or civil divorces, and not genetic DNA, that promotes extreme mental cruelty within lives
of separated posterity; that is the origination of adultery, fornication; all perverted forms
of biological disorientation of the children; a diminished World Population Since Creation.]

The Priesthood was first given to Adam. He obtained the First Presidency and held
the Keys of it. He obtained it in the creation before the world was formed, and they
remained on the earth until the Old Testament times of Elijah the Prophet; the last
of those prophets to hold the Keys of the Sealing Power of the Melchizedek Priesthood.
All the ancient prophets of the Old Testament times had the Melchizedek Priesthood.
The Order of the Melchizedek Priesthood was formerly called the High Priesthood of
the Holy Order of God, or the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God. It is
the Church of the Firstborn, or glorified Patriarchal Priesthood celestial heir members.
The sealed family is central to the Creator's plan for the eternal destiny of His children.
Old Testament Biblical Records include statements concerning High Priests presiding
in, or holding Priesthood Keys in the Melchizedek Priesthood, as well as Bishops, who
hold the mighty sacred keys over The Aaronic Priesthood: The Ministering of Angels.
Priesthood of Aaron restoration was performed by John the Baptist. The testimony of
Jesus Christ was: This is he, of whom it is written, behold, I send my messenger before
thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. For I say unto you, Among those
that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he
that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. And all the people that heard
him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of dear John.
Thus, we carefully listen to Andrea Bocelli - Angels We Have Heard On High - YouTube™.
Also: Listen to the Voice of Jesus Christ, your Lord, your God, and your Redeemer, whose
word is quick and powerful. And also John the son of Zacharias, which Zacharias he (Elias,
to whom I have committed the keys of bringing to pass the restoration of all things spoken
by the mouth of all the holy prophets since the world began, concerning the last days),

What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
[Research Note: RootsTech • FamilySearch was presented 29 Feb 2024 - 02 Mar 2024; it
did "provide meaningful connections through a deeper understanding of family history
and genealogy." Class Schedule Preview shows 27 DNA results. A Search of RootsTech
On-Demand Library reveals an added 289 results. The Science of Molecular Genealogy
suggests: "Molecular science can help genealogists uncover previously unknown family
relationships, verify or refute claims to ancestry, and shed light on questions that have
puzzled family historians for years." There are however, scientific limitations involved,
when considering Latter-day Saint, or Christian belief systems, based upon Bible text;
showing The Internal Consistency and Historical Reliability of the Biblical Genealogies.
Scott Ray Woodward (biologist)] extracted and typed DNA going back millions of years.
Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His EASTER resurrection, validated by LDS (D&C 138),
suggest serious reconsiderations on the actual value of DNA studies, extrapolated back
in temporal time. Foremost of all, What are resurrected bodies like?, declares they are
physical; and thus, no physical bodies upon the earth for molecular science to evaluate.
Moroni, who lived in the fifth century AD, additionally is a physically resurrected being.
So what is left of the ancient molecular past, to scientifically evaluate, are remains from
wicked societies, and social environments, destined for a future Telestial or Terrestrial
eternal existence. All these societies, except for Noah and his family relationships, had
disruptive global flood experiences, degrading and altering their molecular body purity
(as well as a stated corruption of all flesh, intermingled between animals and humans).
Additionally, all spirit is matter, but it is more refined and pure, such that it is infinitely
incapable of being measured by modern technological instruments; nor by DNA data.
God of course knows all of His spirit children, and knows from the beginnings of their
spiritual birth in heaven; thus He knows the past, present and future of the Universe,
knowing beforehand, the beginnings and ends of all the works of His own Creations.

In conclusion then, What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
The Book of Mormon is the greatest primary witness on the face of the earth to validate
the authenticity of the Ancient Biblical Record, with Moroni as the greatest key witness.
The Prophet Moroni testifies emphatically that the Theory of Evolution is so completely
false, as noted in Line upon Line: Moroni 10:3–5. Behold, I would exhort you, that when
ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would
remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation
of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your
hearts. . . . And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things. . . .
The key element of this witness testimony concerning the real mortal existence of Adam,
and the factual evidence of the creation of the earth, and all the subsequent related things
thereto, is clearly stated within The Book of Ether. Moroni specifically abridged the record
of the Jaredites. Therefore, from a professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
he is an intimate, personally involved, eye-witness to this account of those twenty and four
plates which were found by the people of Limhi, which is called the Book of Ether. Moroni
mentions: "And as I suppose that the first part of this record, which speaks concerning the
creation of the world, and also of Adam, and an account from that time even to the great
tower, and whatsoever things transpired among the children of men until that time, is had
among the Jews-- Therefore I do not write those things which transpired from the days of
Adam until that time; but they are had upon the plates; and whoso findeth them, the same
will have power that he may get the full account" (as they are written in Adamic language).
Additionally Legal Records, the Brass Plates, held in the originating possession of Laban,
contained not only the Jewish scriptures, but also Lehi's own genealogy back to Joseph
in Egypt. From a dispassionate, professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
this directly relates to the genealogical Truths taught in 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi, Moroni had
access to the Brass Plates of Laban and knew that those records came forth out of the City
of Jerusalem; and were handed down intact by the seed of originating Nephite father Lehi.
Nevertheless, the very false theory, or secular doctrine of Evolution is currently, and very
openly, and proudly; blatantly expounded upon, by open-minded "scientific" leadership,
from the sacred halls of learning, at Brigham Young University. Yet, Nephi, son of Lehi,
had a vision of great significance, recorded in 1 Nephi 13:20–42: Plain and Precious Truths.
In particular, from a genealogical research standpoint, 1 Nephi 13: 23, the Gentiles, or us,
today, had a book, which an angel from the Throne of God in Heaven declared, stating:
Behold it proceedeth out of the mouth of a Jew (collectively, the ancestry of the Jews).
"The book that thou beholdest is a record of the Jews, which contains the covenants
of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house of Israel (from Old Testament times);
and it also containeth many of the prophecies of the holy prophets; and it is a record
like unto the engravings which are upon the plates of brass, save there are not so many;
nevertheless, they contain the covenants of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house
of Israel; wherefore, they are of great worth unto the Gentiles." Organic Evolution is false.

Understanding Historical Dates And Calendars For Genealogical Research
[Research Note: Calendars are part of record keeping. There is no real physical science
in existence without accurate record keeping, to determine what has transpired in past
events, or real experiments, to determine what is going on in the present, or knowing
what calculated future outcomes will be. True and perfect science is based upon written
testimony, and the testimony of Jesus Christ is the The Spirit of Prophecy: true science.
There are the massive amounts of witnesses verifying the origination of calendar record
keeping, before, and since the beginning of time.  References are found in Astronomy /
Astronomy, where records of the fathers contain knowledge of creation: planets, stars.
See references: Book of Remembrance, Knowledge, Record, and Write, Wrote, Written;
for the Lord always commands all men to write all the words which he speaks to them.
Revelation, 27–28 December 1832, Broadsheet [D&C 88:1–126], Page 1 mentions two great
concepts: (1) All kingdoms have a law given; and there are many kingdoms; for there is no
space in the which there is no kingdom; & there is no kingdom in which there is no space,
either a greater or lesser kingdom. And unto every kingdom is given a law; and unto every
law there are certain bounds, also, and conditions. (2) . . . for intelligence cleaveth unto
intelligence . . . judgment goeth before the face of him who sitteth upon the throne,
and governeth and executeth all things; he comprehendeth all things, and all things
are before him, and all things are round about him; and he is above all things, and in
all things, and is through all things, and is round about all things: and all things are
by him, and of him; even God, for ever, and ever. From a viewpoint of heavenly physics
and astronomy: there is no vacuum in the Universe; forever having matter and energy
existing in an intertwined state of being. Furthermore, the Universe is forever in control,
magnifying the Glory of God, within all its elements; condensing disparate intelligences.]

A.  Chronicles of Jerahmeel Index- Next: XXVI [Eleazar ben Asher ha-Levi], 12th century.
     And Lemech begat Noah, and said, 'This one will comfort us and give rest
     to the earth and all its inhabitants when God will visit the earth with evil
     on account of the wickedness of the evildoers.'

B.  Book of Jubilees . . . [Chapter 4] The Book of Jubilees
     About 15 Jubilees scrolls written in Hebrew were found at Qumran. . . .
     And in the fifteenth jubilee in the third week Lamech took to himself a wife, and
     her name was Betenos the daughter of Baraki'il, the daughter of his father's brother,
     and in this week she bare him a son and he called his name Noah, saying,
     'This one will comfort me for my trouble and all my work,
     and for the ground which the Lord hath cursed.'
     Sacred Times: The Book of Jubilees at Qumran

C.  Book of Jasher 4
     And Lamech was one hundred and eighty years old when he took Ashmua,
     the daughter of Elishaa the son of Enoch his uncle, and she conceived. . . .
     And Methuselah called his name Noah, saying, The earth was in his days at rest
     and free from corruption, and Lamech his father called his name Menachem,
     saying, This one shall comfort us in our works and miserable toil in the earth,
     which God had cursed.

D.  Antiquities of the Jews - Book I - From the Creation to the Death of Isaac
     "Now when Noah had lived three hundred and fifty years after the Flood, and that
     all that time happily, he died, having lived the number of nine hundred and fifty
     years. But let no one, upon comparing the lives of the ancients with our lives, and
     with the few years which we now live, think that what we have said of them is false;
     or make the shortness of our lives at present an argument, that neither did they attain
     to so long a duration of life, for those ancients were beloved of God, and [lately]
     made by God himself; and because their food was then fitter for the prolongation
     of life, might well live so great a number of years: and besides, God afforded them
     a longer time of life on account of their virtue, and the good use they made of it in
     astronomical and geometrical discoveries, which would not have afforded the time
     of foretelling [the periods of the stars] unless they had lived six hundred years; for
     the Great Year is completed in that interval. Now I have for witnesses to what I have
     said, all those that have written Antiquities, both among the Greeks and barbarians;
     for even Manetho, who wrote the Egyptian History, and Berosus, who collected the
     Chaldean Monuments, and Mochus, and Hestieus, and besides these, Hieronymus
     the Egyptian, and those who composed the Phoenician History, agree to what I here
     say: Hesiod also, and Hecatseus, Hellanicus, and Acusilaus; and besides these,
     Ephorus and Nicolaus relate that the ancients lived a thousand years. But as to these
     matters, let every one look upon them as he thinks fit."  [Research Note: One Day in
     the process of Creation, to God Ahman on Kolob, is equivalent to 1,000 earth years.
     Berossus, or Berosus, circa 3rd century B. C., reckoned time in intervals of 60, 600,
     and 3600 years: a base-60 (Sexagesimal system); with 5 as one of the prime numbers.
     The number of seconds in minute, the number of minutes in an hour is also base-60.
     Grammar and Alphabet of the Egyptian Language, circa July–circa November 1835,
     has characters arranged into five degrees; being arranged differently in each part.
     Mathematics/Astronomy - Wikiversity, shows that Altitude (Alt), sometimes referred
     to as elevation, is the angle between the object and the observer's local horizon. It
     is expressed as an angle between 0 degrees to 90 degrees; and 5 divides into 90
     degrees = 18 times; and that 6 divides into 90 degrees = 15 times. Now, the Behenian
     fixed stars are a selection of fifteen stars considered especially useful for magical
     applications in the medieval astrology of Europe and the Arab world; each is also
     connected with a gemstone and plant; and when a planet was within six degrees
     of an associated star, this influence was thought to be particularly strong. However,
     Facsimile 2,  from the Book of Abraham, notes Fig. 3. Is made to represent God,
     sitting upon his throne, clothed with power and authority; with a crown of eternal
     light upon his head, representing also the grand Key-words of the Holy Priesthood,
     as revealed to Adam in the Garden of Eden, as also to Seth, Noah, Melchizedek,
     Abraham, and all to whom the Priesthood was revealed (listed in Patriarchal Order).
     There were six days given in the scriptures for the creation of this earth by Elohim:
     The heads of the Gods, or, the head one of the Gods, appointed one God for us.
     And, the Sun, borrows its light from Kolob through the medium of Kae-e-vanrash,
     which is the grand Key, or in other words, the governing power, which governs
     fifteen (15) other fixed planets or stars, as also Floeese or the Moon, the Earth,
     and the Sun in their annual revolutions. The Ancient Jewish Urim and Thummim
     had the names of the twelve (12) Tribes engraved on the breastpiece, to which
     were added those of the three covenant Patriarchs: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob;
     together with the word shevet ("tribe") so as to encompass the whole alphabet;
     thus representing the (3) Patriarchal High Priest Heads of the full House of Israel;
     and the Priestly Breastplate, having individual Tribal gemstones, or The Jewels;
     linguistically together in oracle revelations, mathematically and astronomically.
     A full shadow of the Earth on the Moon has an apparent radius of curvature equal
     to the difference between the apparent radii of the Earth and the Sun as seen from
     the Moon. This radius can be seen to be equal to 0.75 degree, from which (with the
     solar apparent radius 0.25 degree) we get an Earth apparent radius of 1 degree.
     This yields for the Earth-Moon distance 60 Earth radii of 384,000 km. This procedure
     was first used by Aristarchus of Samos and Hipparchus; and later, Ptolemy's works.

F.  Witness Evidence: The Book of Mormon: A Guide for the Old Testament
     The Book of Mormon As a Witness of the Old Testament
     Ether 1 . . . twenty and four plates . . . called the Book of Ether
     . . . (I, Moroni) suppose that the first part of this record, which speaks concerning
     the creation of the world, and also of Adam, and an account from that time even
     to the great tower (Tower of Babel), and whatsoever things transpired among the
     children of men until that time, is had among the Jews-- Therefore I do not write
     those things which transpired from the days of Adam until that time; but they are
     had upon the plates; and whoso findeth them, the same will have power that he
     may get the full account. But behold, I give not the full account, but a part of the
     account I give, from the tower down until they were destroyed. . . .

     containing the Record of the wickedness of the people of the world, and many
     other plates." The Joseph Smith Papers: Search for the "Brass Plates of Laban"
     . . . and thus my father lehi did discover the genealogy of his fathers and Laban
     also was a desendant of joseph (Of the land of egypt) wherefore he and his fathers

012:   NOAH (the son of LAMECH)

Family of Noah: (And Noah and his sons hearkened unto the Lord and gave heed,
and they were called the sons of God. {In other words, they were all baptized into
the patriarchal Church of Jesus Christ, and received saving priesthood ordinances
and blessings.} And when these men began to multiply on the face of the earth and
daughters were born unto them, {the sons of Noah}, the sons of men {not members
of the patriarchal, ancient Church of Jesus Christ}, saw that their {the sons of Noah}
daughters were fair, and they took them wives even as they chose {without priesthood
consent of Noah}. And the Lord said unto Noah, The daughters of thy sons have sold
themselves, for behold mine anger is kindled against the sons of men, for they will not
hearken to my voice. And it came to pass that Noah prophesied and taught the things
of God, even as it was in the beginning. And the Lord said unto Noah, My Spirit shall not
always strive with man, for he shall know that all flesh shall die, yet his days shall be
a hundred and twenty years, and if men do not repent, I will send in the floods upon them.
{This statement tangentially validates the ages of the ancients before the flood, because
this time frame is exceedingly long, measured by the current standards of total longevity
for all population groups in the 21st century. So, Noah and his family were exceedingly
energized to preach the gospel of said Jesus Christ to all, because the family salvation
of their own posterity was at stake.} And in those days there were giants on the earth,
and they sought Noah to take away his life; and the Lord commanded Noah to declare
His gospel even as it was given unto Enoch. And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom
I have created from the face of the earth, both man, and beast, and the creeping things,
and the fowls of the air; {which encapsulates a total global flood}. JST - Inspired Version.
It is self evident that the family genealogy and history of Noah and his sons is deficient.
And it came to pass that Noah called upon the children of men, that they should repent,
but they hearkened not unto his words. And also, after that they had heard him, they
came up before him, saying, Behold, we are the sons of God. Have we not taken unto
ourselves the daughters of men? And are we not eating and drinking, and marrying,
and given in marriage? And our wives bear unto us children, and the same are mighty
men, which are like unto them of old, men of great renown. And they hearkened not
unto the words of Noah. And God saw that the wickedness of man {alleged sons of God}
had become great in the earth; and every man was lifted up in the imagination {fantasy}
of the thoughts of his heart, being only evil continually {the spirit of the Antichrist}; or,
medically, all mankind was in a delusional state of biological hallucinatory perception.
Similar behavior is found after the Flood, in Nimrod, a man of might on the earth; a King,
that is attributed in extra-biblical traditions, as initiating the Tower of Babel construction.
Flavius Josephus: Chapter 4. Concerning the Tower of Babylon, & Confusion of Tongues.
{Here, then, we have two records found upon this [American] continent, that go to support
the words of eternal truth--the Bible; and whilst these records, both of them, sanction the
testimony of the scriptures in regard to the flood, the tower of Babel, and the confusion
of languages; the tradition and hyeroglyphics (sic) of the Zaltees, the Colhuacans,
and the Azteca nations, in regard to the confusion of languages and their travels
to this land, is so like that contained in the Book of Mormon, that the striking analogy
must be seen by every superficial observer. See also: Traits of the Mosaic History,})

Marriage:
Wives Aboard Noah's Ark
In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons
of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark--
Wife of Noah - Emzara, daughter of Rake'el, son of Methuselah
Wife of Shem - Sedeqetelebab
Wife of Ham - Ne'elatama'uk or Na'eltama'uk [Egyptus]
Wife of Japheth - 'Adataneses
Since Noah and his sons were the only men surviving the flood,
all patriarchal genetic diversity concentrated with Noah . . .
resulting in a more recent patriarchal lineage than matriarchal.

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.]
[Research Note: Plural Marriage "was believed in and practiced by the ancients"; noted
Brigham Young: Beneficial Effects of Polygamy (Journal of Discourses). As LDS President,
Brigham Young also stated "that if you desire with all your hearts to obtain the blessings
which Abraham obtained, you will be polygamists at least in your faith, or you will come
short of enjoying the salvation and the glory which Abraham has obtained. This is as true
as that God lives. . . . The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those
who enter into polygamy. Others attain unto a glory and may even be permitted to come
into the presence of the Father and the Son (in the Celestial Earth Kingdom; single, or in
a monogamously Temple sealed marriage), but they cannot (fully) reign as kings in glory,
because they had blessings offered unto them (to have power to save their own posterity),
and they refused to accept them." The Power to Seal on Earth and in Heaven remained
actively upon the earth until the days of Elijah the Prophet, one of Messengers with Keys.
Therefore, according to President Brigham Young, Jesus Christ had to have been married
to more than one wife, before he was exalted. Thus, the New Testament does not contain
a complete record of the Saints family relationships. Furthermore, Biblical society clearly
included plural marriage, as it was "believed in and practiced by the ancients", (as three
years previous to the death of Adam, he called Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared,
Enoch, and Methuselah; all just high priests, having the Holy Priesthood, after the Order
of the Son of God, with the residue of his, Adam's righteous posterity, into the green valley
of Adam-ondi-Ahman); which society continued on through Shem, or Melchizedek, the son
of Noah; to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, or Israel; down into the later Christian Gentile era.
This certainly indicates a tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical records, when actually
compared mathematically, with the high number of global inhabitants, in pre-flood times.
Section 138, Vision of the Redemption of the Dead (Doctrine and Covenants 138): "Among
the great and mighty ones who were assembled in this vast congregation of the righteous
were Father Adam, the Ancient of Days and father of all, And our glorious Mother Eve,
with many of her faithful daughters who had lived through the (past Old Testament) ages
and worshiped the true and living God." Adam, or Michael, as the Holy Patriarchal Head
of the Human Family, by Right, has been delegated to hold the keys of the resurrection
of the dead, from Jesus Christ, or Jehovah; having previously passed through that order,
and continuously assists in bringing to pass the crowning of his posterity with immortality,
and eternal lives, under the direction of Son Ahman, the Messiah, Lord of Lords, and King
of Kings. President Joseph F. Smith validates tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical
records,: "I saw the hosts of the dead, both small and great." -- "And there were gathered
together in one place an innumerable company of the spirits of the just who had been
faithful in the testimony of Jesus while they lived in mortality;" "They were assembled
awaiting the advent of the Son of God into the spirit world, to declare their redemption
from the bands of death." (Thus, this would have been an innumerable company of spirits
having lived in Old Testament times, as "Their sleeping dust was to be restored unto its
perfect frame . . .") "While this vast multitude waited and conversed, rejoicing in the hour
of their deliverance from the chains of death, the Son of God appeared, declaring liberty
to the captives who had been faithful," Also, this multitude did not include all the wicked.
Specific mention is made of seeing and critically identifying additional Old Testament
personalities: Abel, the first martyr; Seth, one of the mighty ones; Noah, of the flood era;
Shem, the great high priest (Melchizedek); Abraham, the father of the faithful; Isaac,
Jacob; Moses, the great law-giver of Israel; Isaiah, who spoke of the Messiah; Ezekiel;
Daniel; Elias, who appeared on the Mount of Transfiguration; and the prophet Malachi;
"All these and many more, even the prophets who dwelt among the Nephites and testified
of the coming of the Son of God, mingled in the vast assembly"; waiting for deliverance.
Furthermore, Jesus Christ mentions in Matthew 7: 19–23, when asked why Moses permitted
divorce; Jesus Christ declared: "Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered
you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you,
Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another,
committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery."
Isaiah 3 & 4 notes Zion and her daughters will be redeemed and cleansed in the coming
millennial day, by the restoration of polygamy: "And in that day, seven women shall
take hold of one man, saying: We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel;
only let us be called by thy name to take away our reproach"; re: 2 Nephi Chapter 14, as
mentioned in the Book of Mormon; indicating modern day Zion is yet filthy, beforehand.
Since there was no divorce in the beginning, under the ancient patriarchal priesthood,
the unity of family associations would have greatly expanded the number of the children
living upon the earth, down to the time of the period of the administration of prophet Elijah.
Therefore, it is priesthood unrighteous dominion, in the cancellation of Temple Sealings,
or civil divorces, and not genetic DNA, that promotes extreme mental cruelty within lives
of separated posterity; that is the origination of adultery, fornication; all perverted forms
of biological disorientation of the children; a diminished World Population Since Creation.]

The Children of 012: Noah: Extrabiblical Sons of Noah
012-001:   DIRECT DESCENDANT (a son) 013: BOOK - Japheth (Japhetites),
                  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 historical 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 . . .
                  Times and Seasons, 15 September 1842, Page 922 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.

Letter to Oliver Cowdery, circa 9 April 1836, Page 289; editor of the newspaper.
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".
This very remark asserts consistency with the ages of the ancient Patriarchs; for, as stated,
the garments would have been preserved intact and wearable for over a thousand years.

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).
Taken together, in the withdrawing of Noahs floud to the Sea, the same took
his course from East to West; also, that 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; it suggests a "swallowing up the the water, back into the core
fountains of the great deep, in the region of the Pacific Ocean; that would have
initiated the beginnings of the singular land mass into continental separations;
that which was fully realized during the days of Peleg's descending generation.
Thus, historically, connected to the Hebrew meaning of Peleg, as a small water
stream, or the gradual slow return of the excessive waters, back to the great deep;
as the Atlantic Ocean becomes the Dividing Canal; in English: "brook"; little river.
There are no Historical Parallels to the Destruction at the Time of the Crucifixion;
for, Noah was undertaking agricultural vineyard pursuits after disembarking the Ark.
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.

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. . . . .

The Priesthood was first given to Adam. He obtained the First Presidency and held
the Keys of it. He obtained it in the creation before the world was formed, and they
remained on the earth until the Old Testament times of Elijah the Prophet; the last
of those prophets to hold the Keys of the Sealing Power of the Melchizedek Priesthood.
All the ancient prophets of the Old Testament times had the Melchizedek Priesthood.
The Order of the Melchizedek Priesthood was formerly called the High Priesthood of
the Holy Order of God, or the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God. It is
the Church of the Firstborn, or glorified Patriarchal Priesthood celestial heir members.
The sealed family is central to the Creator's plan for the eternal destiny of His children.
Old Testament Biblical Records include statements concerning High Priests presiding
in, or holding Priesthood Keys in the Melchizedek Priesthood, as well as Bishops, who
hold the mighty sacred keys over The Aaronic Priesthood: The Ministering of Angels.
Priesthood of Aaron restoration was performed by John the Baptist. The testimony of
Jesus Christ was: This is he, of whom it is written, behold, I send my messenger before
thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. For I say unto you, Among those
that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he
that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. And all the people that heard
him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of dear John.
Thus, we carefully listen to Andrea Bocelli - Angels We Have Heard On High - YouTube™.
Also: Listen to the Voice of Jesus Christ, your Lord, your God, and your Redeemer, whose
word is quick and powerful. And also John the son of Zacharias, which Zacharias he (Elias,
to whom I have committed the keys of bringing to pass the restoration of all things spoken
by the mouth of all the holy prophets since the world began, concerning the last days),
visited and gave promise that he should have a son, and his name should be John,
and he should be filled with the spirit of Elias; Which John I have have sent unto you,
my servants, Joseph Smith, Jun., and Oliver Cowdery, to ordain you unto the first priest-
hood, which you have received, that you might be called and ordained even as Aaron.

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.
Format mentioned in the Introduction to Documents, Volume 1: July 1828–June 1831,
is given as: "And the voice of Michael the archangel, the voice of Gabriel,
and of (archangel) Raphael, and of divers angels, from Michael or Adam,
down to the present time; all declaring each one their dispensation, their rights,
their keys, their honors, their majesty & glory, and the power of their priesthood;
giving line upon line; precept upon precept; here a little and there a little."
By scriptural structure, this is a Patriarchal Priesthood Order of Administration;
suggesting therefore, in the Church of the Firstborn, when fully established on
the earth again, during the Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ, all communications
will descend down from Ahman, to Son Ahman, to Adam, and then through all of
his righteous patriarchal posterity, unto all the family heads residing upon the earth.
The patriarchal order of communication suggests also that Raphael is the heavenly
name of a Prophet of God, who was born upon the earth in mortality, after Noah;
i.e., the angel Gabriel; most likely being Noah's son Shem, King of Righteousness;
[Chazalic literature unanimously identifies Melchizedek as Shem, the son of Noah.
Raphael connotes feelings of virtue contained in the body of Jesus Christ: God heals;
or in other words, Shem walked and talked with Jehovah, and was spiritually healed.

What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?

showing The Internal Consistency and Historical Reliability of the Biblical Genealogies.
Scott Ray Woodward (biologist)] extracted and typed DNA going back millions of years.
Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His EASTER resurrection, validated by LDS (D&C 138),
suggest serious reconsiderations on the actual value of DNA studies, extrapolated back
in temporal time. Foremost of all, What are resurrected bodies like?, declares they are
physical; and thus, no physical bodies upon the earth for molecular science to evaluate.
Moroni, who lived in the fifth century AD, additionally is a physically resurrected being.
So what is left of the ancient molecular past, to scientifically evaluate, are remains from
wicked societies, and social environments, destined for a future Telestial or Terrestrial
eternal existence. All these societies, except for Noah and his family relationships, had
disruptive global flood experiences, degrading and altering their molecular body purity
(as well as a stated corruption of all flesh, intermingled between animals and humans).
Additionally, all spirit is matter, but it is more refined and pure, such that it is infinitely
incapable of being measured by modern technological instruments; nor by DNA data.
God of course knows all of His spirit children, and knows from the beginnings of their
spiritual birth in heaven; thus He knows the past, present and future of the Universe,
knowing beforehand, the beginnings and ends of all the works of His own Creations.

In conclusion then, What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
The Book of Mormon is the greatest primary witness on the face of the earth to validate
the authenticity of the Ancient Biblical Record, with Moroni as the greatest key witness.
The Prophet Moroni testifies emphatically that the Theory of Evolution is so completely
false, as noted in Line upon Line: Moroni 10:3–5. Behold, I would exhort you, that when
ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would
remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation
of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your
hearts. . . . And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things. . . .
The key element of this witness testimony concerning the real mortal existence of Adam,
and the factual evidence of the creation of the earth, and all the subsequent related things
thereto, is clearly stated within The Book of Ether. Moroni specifically abridged the record
of the Jaredites. Therefore, from a professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
he is an intimate, personally involved, eye-witness to this account of those twenty and four
plates which were found by the people of Limhi, which is called the Book of Ether. Moroni
mentions: "And as I suppose that the first part of this record, which speaks concerning the
creation of the world, and also of Adam, and an account from that time even to the great
tower, and whatsoever things transpired among the children of men until that time, is had
among the Jews-- Therefore I do not write those things which transpired from the days of
Adam until that time; but they are had upon the plates; and whoso findeth them, the same
will have power that he may get the full account" (as they are written in Adamic language).
Additionally Legal Records, the Brass Plates, held in the originating possession of Laban,
contained not only the Jewish scriptures, but also Lehi's own genealogy back to Joseph
in Egypt. From a dispassionate, professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
this directly relates to the genealogical Truths taught in 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi, Moroni had
access to the Brass Plates of Laban and knew that those records came forth out of the City
of Jerusalem; and were handed down intact by the seed of originating Nephite father Lehi.
Nevertheless, the very false theory, or secular doctrine of Evolution is currently, and very
openly, and proudly; blatantly expounded upon, by open-minded "scientific" leadership,
from the sacred halls of learning, at Brigham Young University. Yet, Nephi, son of Lehi,
had a vision of great significance, recorded in 1 Nephi 13:20–42: Plain and Precious Truths.
In particular, from a genealogical research standpoint, 1 Nephi 13: 23, the Gentiles, or us,
today, had a book, which an angel from the Throne of God in Heaven declared, stating:
Behold it proceedeth out of the mouth of a Jew (collectively, the ancestry of the Jews).
"The book that thou beholdest is a record of the Jews, which contains the covenants
of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house of Israel (from Old Testament times);
and it also containeth many of the prophecies of the holy prophets; and it is a record
like unto the engravings which are upon the plates of brass, save there are not so many;
nevertheless, they contain the covenants of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house
of Israel; wherefore, they are of great worth unto the Gentiles." Organic Evolution is false.

time period:  2944 B.C. to 1994 B.C. Patriarchs (Bible) - Lifespans
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.

Chronology of the Bible: The chronology of the Bible is an elaborate system
of lifespans, 'generations', and other means by which the Masoretic Hebrew
Bible (the text of the Bible most commonly in use today) measures the passage
of events from the creation to . . . (the year of the re-dedication of the Second
Temple). . . . The passage of time is measured initially by adding the ages of
the Patriarchs at the birth of their firstborn sons, later through express statements,
and later still by the synchronized reigns of the kings of Israel and Judah. Later,
The Great Order of the World, or Seder Olam Rabbah, detailed all the dates of
biblical events from creation to Alexander the Great's conquest of Persia. Thus,
Traditional Jewish Chronology has long preserved a record of dates and time
sequences of important historical events related to the Jewish nation. Josephus
painstakingly listed the complete panoply of Jewish high priests who served
during the Second Temple period and which, by comparison of his dates when
each man officiated as high priest, can be used as a time indicator to determine
the span of time in which the Second Temple had its existence. In Early Jewish
Writings, Flavius Josephus Against Apion. Book I, expounds upon the historical
accuracy and applications of official Ancient handed down record compilations.
Josephus Rejected the Rebellion Against Rome, Why Did He Celebrate Chanukah?

. . . "But now as to our forefathers, that they took no less care about writing such
records, (for I will not say they took greater care than the others I spoke of), and
that they committed that matter to their (Aaronic) high priests and to their prophets,
(Ancient Patriarchal High Priests), and that these records have been written all
along down to our own times with the utmost accuracy, nay, if it be not too bold
for me to say it, our history will be so written hereafter, - I shall endeavor briefly
to inform you. 7. For our forefathers did not only appoint the best of these (Aaronic)
priests, and those that attended upon the Divine worship, for that design from
the beginning, (or, from the time of Adam and Eve), but made provision that the
stock of the (Aaronic) priests should continue unmixed and pure; for he who is
partaker of the priesthood must propagate of a wife of the same nation, without
having any regard to money, or any other dignities, but he is to make a scrutiny,
and take his wife's genealogy  from the ancient (Bible) tables, and procure many
witnesses to it. (7) Of this accuracy of the Jews before and in our Savior's time, in
carefully preserving their genealogies all along, particularly those of the priests,
see Josephus's Life, sect. 1. This accuracy seems to have ended at the destruction
of Jerusalem by Titus, or, however, at that by Adrian." [Further relevant information
is reviewed in: Joseph Smith Translation - Luke 11: 52 (JST Luke 11:53; at b and c)
Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away The Key of Knowledge, the fulness
of the scriptures; . . .   (Indication by Jesus Christ that holy family records,
genealogies and related family data, were being destroyed by the lawyers.)
Sextus Julius Africanus wrote a history of the world (Chronografiai) and Kestoi
("Embroiderings"), the latter work includes a "Letter to Aristides" on the genealogies
of Christ, of which only fragments are preserved.  "But since the Hebrew families
and those traceable to proselytes, such as Achior the Ammonite . . . , and Ruth the
Moabitess, and the mixed families which had come out of Egypt, had until then been
enrolled . . . in the archives . . . , Herod, because the family of the Israelites contributed
nothing to him, and because he was goaded by his own consciousness of his base birth,
burned the records . . . of their families, thinking to appear noble if no one else was able
by public documents . . . to trace his family to the patriarchs or proselytes, to the so--called
gers . . . of mixed descent." - Jude and the Relatives of Jesus in the Early Church (pdf),
by Richard Bauckham, page 358; from the  Translation of Eusebius - footnote #135.
"The Lukan Genealogy of Jesus" further mentions: "We know that Herod was sensitive
about his Idumaean and therefore only half-Jewish origins, which many Jews regarded
as disqualifying him from legitimate rule over Israel . . . , that his court historian Nicolaus
of Damascus gave him a pure Jewish ancestry . . . presumably as part of an attempt
by Herod himself to conceal his origins, and that his fear of rivals to his throne led
to decimation of the leading Jewish aristocratic families . . ." -  Titus 1: 14
Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.]

Continuing, "And this is our practice not only in Judea, but wheresoever any body of men
of our nation do live, and even there an exact catalogue of our priests' marriages is kept,
I mean at Egypt and at Babylon, or in any other place of the rest of the habitable earth,
whithersoever our priests are scattered, for they send to Jerusalem the ancient names of
their parents in writing, as well as those of their remoter ancestors, and signify who are
the witnesses also." [Research Note: Asenath: Bible | Jewish Women's Archive definitely
appears to be an absolute fictional novel. In Volume 02 Journal of Discourses, page 269,
Brigham Young notes: "The Book of Mormon came to Ephraim, for Joseph Smith was a
pure Ephraimite, and the Book of Mormon was revealed to him, and while he lived he
made it his business to search for those who believed the Gospel." Joseph Smith, Jr.,
as a direct descendant of the ancient Joseph in Egypt, and according to the patriarchal
law of the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God; it would have been contrary
to family standards to marry out of the pure descendants of the House of Abraham. This
clearly suggests that when Pharaoh honored Joseph. by giving him as a wife, Asenath,
"the daughter of Potiphera, priest from the city of On"; she was a relative of Abraham.
Asenath: Midrash and Aggadah | Jewish Women's Archive addresses this conundrum.
Accordingly, Ephraim and Manasseh are worthy descendents, who continue Jacob's way.

"But if any war falls out, such as have fallen out a great many of them already, . . .
those priests that survive them compose new tables of genealogy out of the old records,
and examine the circumstances of the women that remain, for still they do not admit
of those that have been captives, as suspecting that they had conversation with some
foreigners. But what is the strongest argument of our exact management in this matter
is what I am now going to say, that we have the names of our (Aaronic) high priests
from father to son set down in our records for the interval of two thousand years, and
if any of these have been transgressors of these rules, they are prohibited to present
themselves at the altar, or to be partakers of any other of our purifications, and this
is justly, or rather necessarily done, because every one is not permitted of his own
accord to be a writer, nor is there any disagreement in what is written, they being
only prophets that have written the original and earliest accounts of things as they
learned them of God himself by inspiration, and others have written what happened
in their own times, and that in a very distinct manner also. . . . It is true, our history
hath been written since Artaxerxes very particularly, but hath not been esteemed
of the like authority with the former by our forefathers, because there hath not been
an exact succession of prophets since that time; and how firmly we have given credit
to these books of our own nation is evident by what we do, for during so many ages
as have already passed, no one has been so bold as either to add any thing to them,
to take any thing from them, or to make any change in them; but it is become natural
to all Jews immediately, and from their very birth, to esteem these books to contain
Divine doctrines, and to persist in them, and if occasion be willingly to die for them.
For it is no new thing for our captives, many of them in number, and frequently in time,
to be seen to endure racks and deaths of all kinds upon the theatres, that they may
not be obliged to say one word against our laws and the records that contain them,
whereas there are none at all among the Greeks who would undergo the least harm
on that account, no, nor in case all the writings that are among them were to be
destroyed, for they take them to be such discourses as are framed agreeably to the
inclinations of those that write them; and they have justly the same opinion of the
ancient writers, since they see some of the present generation bold enough to write
about such affairs, wherein they were not present, nor had concern enough to inform
themselves about them from those that knew them, examples of which may be had
in this late war of ours, where some persons have written histories, and published
them, without having been in the places concerned, or having been near them
when the actions were done; but these men put a few things together by hearsay,
and insolently abuse the world, and call these writings by the name of Histories. . . .

I shall begin with the writings of the Egyptians; not indeed of those that have written
in the Egyptian language, which it is impossible for me to do. But Manetho was a man
who by birth an Egyptian, yet had he made himself master of the Greek learning,
as is very evident, for he wrote the history of his own country in the Greek tongue,
by translating it, as he saith himself, out of their sacred records; he also finds great
fault with Herodotus for his ignorance and false relations of Egyptian affairs. Now
this Manetho, in the second book of his Egyptian History, writes concerning us (Jews)
in the following manner. I will set down his very words, as if I were to bring the very
man himself into a court for a witness. . . . This whole nation was styled HYCSOS,
that is, Shepherd-kings: for the first syllable HYC, according to the sacred dialect,
denotes a king, as is SOS a shepherd; . . . in another copy it is said that this word
does not denote Kings, but on the contrary, denotes Captive Shepherds, . . . they built
a city in that country which is now called Judea, and that large enough to contain
this great number of men, (their whole families and effects, not fewer in number than
two hundred and forty thousand), and called it Jerusalem. (9) Now Manetho, in another
book of his, says, "That this nation thus called Shepherds, were also called Captives,
in their sacred books." And this account of his is the truth, for feeding of sheep was
the employment of our forefathers in the most ancient ages (10) and as they led such
a wandering life in feeding sheep, they were called Shepherds. Nor was it without
reason that they were called Captives by the Egyptians, since one of our ancestors,
Joseph, told the king of Egypt that he was a captive, and afterward sent for his brethren
into Egypt by the king's permission. But as for these matters, I shall make a more exact
inquiry about them elsewhere. [Research Note: Abel, one of the sons of Adam and Eve,
is recorded as a keeper of sheep. The Contents of the Plates of Brass further validates
a copy of the Law, or the Five Books of Moses, was historically preserved by the Jews.
What Are the Five Books of Moses? - Chabad.org: the Torah, the foundation of Judaism.
The Book of Mormon mentions the history of the Jews, further confirming the words
of Flavius Josephus, including specifically the prophet Lehi genealogy, to circa 600 B. C.;
indicating from this primary source, that Lehi descended from Joseph's son Manasseh.

Biblical Chronology of the World: Tracing ancient records from Adam to Father Abraham.
"Neither can there be a doubt existing on the mind of any person, that Adam was the first
who did communicate the knowledge of the existence of a God, to his posterity; and that
the whole faith of the world, from that time down to the present (now to the 21st Century),
is in a certain degree, dependent on the knowledge first communicated to them by their
common progenitor; and it has been handed down to the day and generation in which
we live, as we shall show (by Biblical chronology) from the face of the sacred records."

A.  Chronicles of Jerahmeel Index- Next: XXVI [Eleazar ben Asher ha-Levi], 12th century.
     (10) And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. . . .
     (21) And the flood took place, and Noah went forth from the ark and offered
     sacrifices, and the Lord, smelling the sweet savour, said, 'I shall no more
     curse the earth and smite every living being, but if they sin against Me, I
     shall judge them by famine, sword, fire, pestilence, and earthquake, and
     I shall scatter them hither and thither. And I shall remember this for the
     inhabitants of the earth until the end. And it shall come to pass, when the
     end of the world shall have arrived, that the light shall cease and the
     darkness shall weep, and I shall revive the dead and awaken those who
     slumber in the dust, and Sheol will repay its debt, and Abadon return its
     portion, and I shall requite the wicked according to their deeds and judge
     between the flesh and the soul. And the world shall rest in quietness (peace),
     and I shall destroy death for ever. The grave shall close its mouth and the
     earth shall no longer be without produce, nor shall its inhabitants be rooted
     out nor be defiled by iniquitous judgments, for there shall be a new earth
     and new heavens for an everlasting habitation.'
     Next: XXVII. (1) The sons of Jepheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Yavan,
     Tubal, Meshekh, and Tiras; and the sons of Gomar were Ashkenaz, Riphath,
     and Togarmah; and the sons of Yavan, Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
     (2) The sons of Gomer were Ṭeled, Lud, Deber, and Led; the sons of Magog,
     Qashē, Ṭīpa, Paruṭa, ‘Amiel, Pinḥas, Gôlaza, and Samanākh; the sons of Dedan,
     Shalom, Filôg, and Ṭufliṭa; the children of Tubal, Fantônya and Aṭipa; the children
     of Tiras, Maakh, Ṭabel, Bal’anah, Shampla, Mēah, and Ēlash; the children of Melech,
     Aburdad, Horad, and Boṣrah. The children of Ashkenaz were Vekhal, Sardana, and
     Anakh; the children of Hēri, Eṣudad, Dô‘ath, Dēpasēat, and Ḥanokh; the children
     of Togarmah, Abihud, Shāfaṭ, and Yaftir; the children of Elishah, Zaaq, Qenath,
     and Mastizrida; the children of Zipthai, Mafshiel, Ṭina, Avla, and Jinôn. The children
     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.
     Sacred Times: The Book of Jubilees at Qumran

     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 DNA 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.

     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.

     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,

     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

     semi-tropical plants, grew there in abundance.  The frozen animals

     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.

J.  Antiquities of the Jews - Book I - From the Creation to the Death of Isaac
     "Now when Noah had lived three hundred and fifty years after the Flood, and that
     all that time happily, he died, having lived the number of nine hundred and fifty
     years. But let no one, upon comparing the lives of the ancients with our lives, and
     with the few years which we now live, think that what we have said of them is false;
     or make the shortness of our lives at present an argument, that neither did they attain
     to so long a duration of life, for those ancients were beloved of God, and [lately]
     made by God himself; and because their food was then fitter for the prolongation
     of life, might well live so great a number of years: and besides, God afforded them
     a longer time of life on account of their virtue, and the good use they made of it in
     astronomical and geometrical discoveries, which would not have afforded the time
     of foretelling [the periods of the stars] unless they had lived six hundred years; for
     the Great Year is completed in that interval. Now I have for witnesses to what I have
     said, all those that have written Antiquities, both among the Greeks and barbarians;
     for even Manetho, who wrote the Egyptian History, and Berosus, who collected the
     Chaldean Monuments, and Mochus, and Hestieus, and besides these, Hieronymus
     the Egyptian, and those who composed the Phoenician History, agree to what I here
     say: Hesiod also, and Hecatseus, Hellanicus, and Acusilaus; and besides these,
     Ephorus and Nicolaus relate that the ancients lived a thousand years. But as to these
     matters, let every one look upon them as he thinks fit."  [Research Note: One Day in
     the process of Creation, to God Ahman on Kolob, is equivalent to 1,000 earth years.
     Berossus, or Berosus, circa 3rd century B. C., reckoned time in intervals of 60, 600,
     and 3600 years: a base-60 (Sexagesimal system); with 5 as one of the prime numbers.
     The number of seconds in minute, the number of minutes in an hour is also base-60.
     Grammar and Alphabet of the Egyptian Language, circa July–circa November 1835,
     has characters arranged into five degrees; being arranged differently in each part.
     Mathematics/Astronomy - Wikiversity, shows that Altitude (Alt), sometimes referred
     to as elevation, is the angle between the object and the observer's local horizon. It
     is expressed as an angle between 0 degrees to 90 degrees; and 5 divides into 90
     degrees = 18 times; and that 6 divides into 90 degrees = 15 times. Now, the Behenian
     fixed stars are a selection of fifteen stars considered especially useful for magical
     applications in the medieval astrology of Europe and the Arab world; each is also
     connected with a gemstone and plant; and when a planet was within six degrees
     of an associated star, this influence was thought to be particularly strong. However,
     Facsimile 2,  from the Book of Abraham, notes Fig. 3. Is made to represent God,
     sitting upon his throne, clothed with power and authority; with a crown of eternal
     light upon his head, representing also the grand Key-words of the Holy Priesthood,
     as revealed to Adam in the Garden of Eden, as also to Seth, Noah, Melchizedek,
     Abraham, and all to whom the Priesthood was revealed (listed in Patriarchal Order).
     There were six days given in the scriptures for the creation of this earth by Elohim:
     The heads of the Gods, or, the head one of the Gods, appointed one God for us.
     And, the Sun, borrows its light from Kolob through the medium of Kae-e-vanrash,
     which is the grand Key, or in other words, the governing power, which governs
     fifteen (15) other fixed planets or stars, as also Floeese or the Moon, the Earth,
     and the Sun in their annual revolutions. The Ancient Jewish Urim and Thummim
     had the names of the twelve (12) Tribes engraved on the breastpiece, to which
     were added those of the three covenant Patriarchs: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob;
     together with the word shevet ("tribe") so as to encompass the whole alphabet;
     thus representing the (3) Patriarchal High Priest Heads of the full House of Israel;
     and the Priestly Breastplate, having individual Tribal gemstones, or The Jewels;
     linguistically together in oracle revelations, mathematically and astronomically.
     A full shadow of the Earth on the Moon has an apparent radius of curvature equal
     to the difference between the apparent radii of the Earth and the Sun as seen from
     the Moon. This radius can be seen to be equal to 0.75 degree, from which (with the
     solar apparent radius 0.25 degree) we get an Earth apparent radius of 1 degree.
     This yields for the Earth-Moon distance 60 Earth radii of 384,000 km. This procedure
     was first used by Aristarchus of Samos and Hipparchus; and later, Ptolemy's works.

     - Ophir de España & Fernando de Montesinos’s Divine Defense of the Spanish
       Colonial Empire: A Mysterious Ancestral Merging of Pre-Inca and Christian Histories
       This Graduate Dissertation provides the 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 AD 600 - AD 1000.]
       [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: 12: "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 Geʽez 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 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, 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.

013:   SHEM (the son of NOAH)

Family of Shem: [Council of Fifty, Minutes, March 1844–January 1846;
Volume 1, 10 March 1844–1 March 1845, Page 37]
Elder Sidney Rigdon commenced his remarks . . . He read Genesis chap 10
and from that chapter entered into . . . He particularly referred to the idea that
the dominion of Japheth (Gentile) is extended over the whole earth and showed
that it was destined to be transferred into the hands of Shem and his posterity.

Shem (Semitic people): Shem / Shem  / Shem |


Marriage:
Wives Aboard Noah's Ark
Wife of Shem - Sedeqetelebab [Sedeq + etelebab]
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")

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.]
[Research Note: Plural Marriage "was believed in and practiced by the ancients"; noted
Brigham Young: Beneficial Effects of Polygamy (Journal of Discourses). As LDS President,
Brigham Young also stated "that if you desire with all your hearts to obtain the blessings
which Abraham obtained, you will be polygamists at least in your faith, or you will come
short of enjoying the salvation and the glory which Abraham has obtained. This is as true
as that God lives. . . . The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those
who enter into polygamy. Others attain unto a glory and may even be permitted to come
into the presence of the Father and the Son (in the Celestial Earth Kingdom; single, or in
a monogamously Temple sealed marriage), but they cannot (fully) reign as kings in glory,
because they had blessings offered unto them (to have power to save their own posterity),
and they refused to accept them." The Power to Seal on Earth and in Heaven remained
actively upon the earth until the days of Elijah the Prophet, one of Messengers with Keys.
Therefore, according to President Brigham Young, Jesus Christ had to have been married
to more than one wife, before he was exalted. Thus, the New Testament does not contain
a complete record of the Saints family relationships. Furthermore, Biblical society clearly
included plural marriage, as it was "believed in and practiced by the ancients", (as three
years previous to the death of Adam, he called Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared,
Enoch, and Methuselah; all just high priests, having the Holy Priesthood, after the Order
of the Son of God, with the residue of his, Adam's righteous posterity, into the green valley
of Adam-ondi-Ahman); which society continued on through Shem, or Melchizedek, the son
of Noah; to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, or Israel; down into the later Christian Gentile era.
This certainly indicates a tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical records, when actually
compared mathematically, with the high number of global inhabitants, in pre-flood times.
Section 138, Vision of the Redemption of the Dead (Doctrine and Covenants 138): "Among
the great and mighty ones who were assembled in this vast congregation of the righteous
were Father Adam, the Ancient of Days and father of all, And our glorious Mother Eve,
with many of her faithful daughters who had lived through the (past Old Testament) ages
and worshiped the true and living God." Adam, or Michael, as the Holy Patriarchal Head
of the Human Family, by Right, has been delegated to hold the keys of the resurrection
of the dead, from Jesus Christ, or Jehovah; having previously passed through that order,
and continuously assists in bringing to pass the crowning of his posterity with immortality,
and eternal lives, under the direction of Son Ahman, the Messiah, Lord of Lords, and King
of Kings. President Joseph F. Smith validates tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical
records,: "I saw the hosts of the dead, both small and great." -- "And there were gathered
together in one place an innumerable company of the spirits of the just who had been
faithful in the testimony of Jesus while they lived in mortality;" "They were assembled
awaiting the advent of the Son of God into the spirit world, to declare their redemption
from the bands of death." (Thus, this would have been an innumerable company of spirits
having lived in Old Testament times, as "Their sleeping dust was to be restored unto its
perfect frame . . .") "While this vast multitude waited and conversed, rejoicing in the hour
of their deliverance from the chains of death, the Son of God appeared, declaring liberty
to the captives who had been faithful," Also, this multitude did not include all the wicked.
Specific mention is made of seeing and critically identifying additional Old Testament
personalities: Abel, the first martyr; Seth, one of the mighty ones; Noah, of the flood era;
Shem, the great high priest (Melchizedek); Abraham, the father of the faithful; Isaac,
Jacob; Moses, the great law-giver of Israel; Isaiah, who spoke of the Messiah; Ezekiel;
Daniel; Elias, who appeared on the Mount of Transfiguration; and the prophet Malachi;
"All these and many more, even the prophets who dwelt among the Nephites and testified
of the coming of the Son of God, mingled in the vast assembly"; waiting for deliverance.
Furthermore, Jesus Christ mentions in Matthew 7: 19–23, when asked why Moses permitted
divorce; Jesus Christ declared: "Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered
you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you,
Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another,
committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery."
Isaiah 3 & 4 notes Zion and her daughters will be redeemed and cleansed in the coming
millennial day, by the restoration of polygamy: "And in that day, seven women shall
take hold of one man, saying: We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel;
only let us be called by thy name to take away our reproach"; re: 2 Nephi Chapter 14, as
mentioned in the Book of Mormon; indicating modern day Zion is yet filthy, beforehand.
Since there was no divorce in the beginning, under the ancient patriarchal priesthood,
the unity of family associations would have greatly expanded the number of the children
living upon the earth, down to the time of the period of the administration of prophet Elijah.
Therefore, it is priesthood unrighteous dominion, in the cancellation of Temple Sealings,
or civil divorces, and not genetic DNA, that promotes extreme mental cruelty within lives
of separated posterity; that is the origination of adultery, fornication; all perverted forms
of biological disorientation of the children; a diminished World Population Since Creation.]

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).

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 . . .

The Priesthood was first given to Adam. He obtained the First Presidency and held
the Keys of it. He obtained it in the creation before the world was formed, and they
remained on the earth until the Old Testament times of Elijah the Prophet; the last
of those prophets to hold the Keys of the Sealing Power of the Melchizedek Priesthood.
All the ancient prophets of the Old Testament times had the Melchizedek Priesthood.
The Order of the Melchizedek Priesthood was formerly called the High Priesthood of
the Holy Order of God, or the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God. It is
the Church of the Firstborn, or glorified Patriarchal Priesthood celestial heir members.
The sealed family is central to the Creator's plan for the eternal destiny of His children.
Old Testament Biblical Records include statements concerning High Priests presiding
in, or holding Priesthood Keys in the Melchizedek Priesthood, as well as Bishops, who
hold the mighty sacred keys over The Aaronic Priesthood: The Ministering of Angels.
Priesthood of Aaron restoration was performed by John the Baptist. The testimony of
Jesus Christ was: This is he, of whom it is written, behold, I send my messenger before
thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. For I say unto you, Among those
that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he
that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. And all the people that heard
him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of dear John.
Thus, we carefully listen to Andrea Bocelli - Angels We Have Heard On High - YouTube™.
Also: Listen to the Voice of Jesus Christ, your Lord, your God, and your Redeemer, whose
word is quick and powerful. And also John the son of Zacharias, which Zacharias he (Elias,
to whom I have committed the keys of bringing to pass the restoration of all things spoken
by the mouth of all the holy prophets since the world began, concerning the last days),
visited and gave promise that he should have a son, and his name should be John,
and he should be filled with the spirit of Elias; Which John I have have sent unto you,
my servants, Joseph Smith, Jun., and Oliver Cowdery, to ordain you unto the first priest-
hood, which you have received, that you might be called and ordained even as Aaron.

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.
[Research Note: Rabbinical Literature: NOAH - JewishEncyclopedia.com.
Item: "When Noah and his family and everything that he had taken with him
were inside the ark, the people left outside asked him to admit them too,
promising repentance. Noah refused to admit them, objecting that he had
exhorted them to repent many years before the Flood. The people then
assembled in great numbers around the ark in order to break into it; but they
were destroyed by the lions and other wild animals which also surrounded it."]
Shem, or Melchizedek, the High Priest lived from 2452 B.C. to 1852 B.C.
Abraham lived in the time period between circa -- 2062 B.C. to 1827 B.C.
Under the Patriarchal Order, Terah practiced idolatry; unable to receive tithing.
Under the Patriarchal Order, Nahor died in 2013 B.C.; Shem was alive.
[The Book of Jubilees suggests Nahor was taught idolatry by his father.]
Under the Patriarchal Order, Serug died in 1961 B.C.; Shem was alive.
[The Book of Jubilees suggests Serug worshipped idols.]
Under the Patriarchal Order, Reu died in 1984 B.C.; Shem was alive.
[The Chronicles of Jerahmeel suggest he had the spirit of prophesy; was righteous.]
Under the Patriarchal Order, Peleg died in 2014 B.C.; Shem was alive.
[The Chronicles of Jerahmeel suggest he was righteous.]
Under the Patriarchal Order, Eber / Heber died in 1823 B.C.
[Shem was alive until 1852 B.C. and Abraham died between 1887 / 1827 B.C.
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
of righteousness, (after they were called to repentance), under the direction
of his father Noah, who was also a King, for over a period of 350 years; thereby,
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.

What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
[Research Note: RootsTech • FamilySearch was presented 29 Feb 2024 - 02 Mar 2024; it
did "provide meaningful connections through a deeper understanding of family history
and genealogy." Class Schedule Preview shows 27 DNA results. A Search of RootsTech
On-Demand Library reveals an added 289 results. The Science of Molecular Genealogy
suggests: "Molecular science can help genealogists uncover previously unknown family
relationships, verify or refute claims to ancestry, and shed light on questions that have
puzzled family historians for years." There are however, scientific limitations involved,
when considering Latter-day Saint, or Christian belief systems, based upon Bible text;
showing The Internal Consistency and Historical Reliability of the Biblical Genealogies.
Scott Ray Woodward (biologist)] extracted and typed DNA going back millions of years.
Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His EASTER resurrection, validated by LDS (D&C 138),
suggest serious reconsiderations on the actual value of DNA studies, extrapolated back
in temporal time. Foremost of all, What are resurrected bodies like?, declares they are
physical; and thus, no physical bodies upon the earth for molecular science to evaluate.
Moroni, who lived in the fifth century AD, additionally is a physically resurrected being.
So what is left of the ancient molecular past, to scientifically evaluate, are remains from
wicked societies, and social environments, destined for a future Telestial or Terrestrial
eternal existence. All these societies, except for Noah and his family relationships, had
disruptive global flood experiences, degrading and altering their molecular body purity
(as well as a stated corruption of all flesh, intermingled between animals and humans).
Additionally, all spirit is matter, but it is more refined and pure, such that it is infinitely
incapable of being measured by modern technological instruments; nor by DNA data.
God of course knows all of His spirit children, and knows from the beginnings of their
spiritual birth in heaven; thus He knows the past, present and future of the Universe,
knowing beforehand, the beginnings and ends of all the works of His own Creations.

In conclusion then, What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
The Book of Mormon is the greatest primary witness on the face of the earth to validate
the authenticity of the Ancient Biblical Record, with Moroni as the greatest key witness.
The Prophet Moroni testifies emphatically that the Theory of Evolution is so completely
false, as noted in Line upon Line: Moroni 10:3–5. Behold, I would exhort you, that when
ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would
remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation
of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your
hearts. . . . And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things. . . .
The key element of this witness testimony concerning the real mortal existence of Adam,
and the factual evidence of the creation of the earth, and all the subsequent related things
thereto, is clearly stated within The Book of Ether. Moroni specifically abridged the record
of the Jaredites. Therefore, from a professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
he is an intimate, personally involved, eye-witness to this account of those twenty and four
plates which were found by the people of Limhi, which is called the Book of Ether. Moroni
mentions: "And as I suppose that the first part of this record, which speaks concerning the
creation of the world, and also of Adam, and an account from that time even to the great
tower, and whatsoever things transpired among the children of men until that time, is had
among the Jews-- Therefore I do not write those things which transpired from the days of
Adam until that time; but they are had upon the plates; and whoso findeth them, the same
will have power that he may get the full account" (as they are written in Adamic language).
Additionally Legal Records, the Brass Plates, held in the originating possession of Laban,
contained not only the Jewish scriptures, but also Lehi's own genealogy back to Joseph
in Egypt. From a dispassionate, professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
this directly relates to the genealogical Truths taught in 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi, Moroni had
access to the Brass Plates of Laban and knew that those records came forth out of the City
of Jerusalem; and were handed down intact by the seed of originating Nephite father Lehi.
Nevertheless, the very false theory, or secular doctrine of Evolution is currently, and very
openly, and proudly; blatantly expounded upon, by open-minded "scientific" leadership,
from the sacred halls of learning, at Brigham Young University. Yet, Nephi, son of Lehi,
had a vision of great significance, recorded in 1 Nephi 13:20–42: Plain and Precious Truths.
In particular, from a genealogical research standpoint, 1 Nephi 13: 23, the Gentiles, or us,
today, had a book, which an angel from the Throne of God in Heaven declared, stating:
Behold it proceedeth out of the mouth of a Jew (collectively, the ancestry of the Jews).
"The book that thou beholdest is a record of the Jews, which contains the covenants
of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house of Israel (from Old Testament times);
and it also containeth many of the prophecies of the holy prophets; and it is a record
like unto the engravings which are upon the plates of brass, save there are not so many;
nevertheless, they contain the covenants of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house
of Israel; wherefore, they are of great worth unto the Gentiles." Organic Evolution is false.

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.

Understanding Historical Dates And Calendars For Genealogical Research
[Research Note: Calendars are part of record keeping. There is no real physical science
in existence without accurate record keeping, to determine what has transpired in past
events, or real experiments, to determine what is going on in the present, or knowing
what calculated future outcomes will be. True and perfect science is based upon written
testimony, and the testimony of Jesus Christ is the The Spirit of Prophecy: true science.
There are the massive amounts of witnesses verifying the origination of calendar record
keeping, before, and since the beginning of time.  References are found in Astronomy /
Astronomy, where records of the fathers contain knowledge of creation: planets, stars.
See references: Book of Remembrance, Knowledge, Record, and Write, Wrote, Written;
for the Lord always commands all men to write all the words which he speaks to them.
Revelation, 27–28 December 1832, Broadsheet [D&C 88:1–126], Page 1 mentions two great
concepts: (1) All kingdoms have a law given; and there are many kingdoms; for there is no
space in the which there is no kingdom; & there is no kingdom in which there is no space,
either a greater or lesser kingdom. And unto every kingdom is given a law; and unto every
law there are certain bounds, also, and conditions. (2) . . . for intelligence cleaveth unto
intelligence . . . judgment goeth before the face of him who sitteth upon the throne,
and governeth and executeth all things; he comprehendeth all things, and all things
are before him, and all things are round about him; and he is above all things, and in
all things, and is through all things, and is round about all things: and all things are
by him, and of him; even God, for ever, and ever. From a viewpoint of heavenly physics
and astronomy: there is no vacuum in the Universe; forever having matter and energy
existing in an intertwined state of being. Furthermore, the Universe is forever in control,
magnifying the Glory of God, within all its elements; condensing disparate intelligences.]

who did communicate the knowledge of the existence of a God, to his posterity; and that
the whole faith of the world, from that time down to the present (now to the 21st Century),

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.
     Sacred Times: The Book of Jubilees at Qumran

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.

E.  Antiquities of the Jews - Book I - From the Creation to the Death of Isaac
     "Now when Noah had lived three hundred and fifty years after the Flood, and that
     all that time happily, he died, having lived the number of nine hundred and fifty
     years. But let no one, upon comparing the lives of the ancients with our lives, and
     with the few years which we now live, think that what we have said of them is false;
     or make the shortness of our lives at present an argument, that neither did they attain
     to so long a duration of life, for those ancients were beloved of God, and [lately]
     made by God himself; and because their food was then fitter for the prolongation
     of life, might well live so great a number of years: and besides, God afforded them
     a longer time of life on account of their virtue, and the good use they made of it in
     astronomical and geometrical discoveries, which would not have afforded the time
     of foretelling [the periods of the stars] unless they had lived six hundred years; for
     the Great Year is completed in that interval. Now I have for witnesses to what I have
     said, all those that have written Antiquities, both among the Greeks and barbarians;
     for even Manetho, who wrote the Egyptian History, and Berosus, who collected the
     Chaldean Monuments, and Mochus, and Hestieus, and besides these, Hieronymus
     the Egyptian, and those who composed the Phoenician History, agree to what I here
     say: Hesiod also, and Hecatseus, Hellanicus, and Acusilaus; and besides these,
     Ephorus and Nicolaus relate that the ancients lived a thousand years. But as to these
     matters, let every one look upon them as he thinks fit."  [Research Note: One Day in
     the process of Creation, to God Ahman on Kolob, is equivalent to 1,000 earth years.
     Berossus, or Berosus, circa 3rd century B. C., reckoned time in intervals of 60, 600,
     and 3600 years: a base-60 (Sexagesimal system); with 5 as one of the prime numbers.
     The number of seconds in minute, the number of minutes in an hour is also base-60.
     Grammar and Alphabet of the Egyptian Language, circa July–circa November 1835,
     has characters arranged into five degrees; being arranged differently in each part.
     Mathematics/Astronomy - Wikiversity, shows that Altitude (Alt), sometimes referred
     to as elevation, is the angle between the object and the observer's local horizon. It
     is expressed as an angle between 0 degrees to 90 degrees; and 5 divides into 90
     degrees = 18 times; and that 6 divides into 90 degrees = 15 times. Now, the Behenian
     fixed stars are a selection of fifteen stars considered especially useful for magical
     applications in the medieval astrology of Europe and the Arab world; each is also
     connected with a gemstone and plant; and when a planet was within six degrees
     of an associated star, this influence was thought to be particularly strong. However,
     Facsimile 2,  from the Book of Abraham, notes Fig. 3. Is made to represent God,
     sitting upon his throne, clothed with power and authority; with a crown of eternal
     light upon his head, representing also the grand Key-words of the Holy Priesthood,
     as revealed to Adam in the Garden of Eden, as also to Seth, Noah, Melchizedek,
     Abraham, and all to whom the Priesthood was revealed (listed in Patriarchal Order).
     There were six days given in the scriptures for the creation of this earth by Elohim:
     The heads of the Gods, or, the head one of the Gods, appointed one God for us.
     And, the Sun, borrows its light from Kolob through the medium of Kae-e-vanrash,
     which is the grand Key, or in other words, the governing power, which governs
     fifteen (15) other fixed planets or stars, as also Floeese or the Moon, the Earth,
     and the Sun in their annual revolutions. The Ancient Jewish Urim and Thummim
     had the names of the twelve (12) Tribes engraved on the breastpiece, to which
     were added those of the three covenant Patriarchs: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob;

014:   ARPHAXAD (the son of SHEM)

Family of Arphaxad:
Arpachshad - Arphaxad: Arphaxad / Arphaxad (Arph*) / Chart |

Marriage:

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.]
[Research Note: Plural Marriage "was believed in and practiced by the ancients"; noted
Brigham Young: Beneficial Effects of Polygamy (Journal of Discourses). As LDS President,
Brigham Young also stated "that if you desire with all your hearts to obtain the blessings
which Abraham obtained, you will be polygamists at least in your faith, or you will come
short of enjoying the salvation and the glory which Abraham has obtained. This is as true
as that God lives. . . . The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those
who enter into polygamy. Others attain unto a glory and may even be permitted to come
into the presence of the Father and the Son (in the Celestial Earth Kingdom; single, or in
a monogamously Temple sealed marriage), but they cannot (fully) reign as kings in glory,
because they had blessings offered unto them (to have power to save their own posterity),
and they refused to accept them." The Power to Seal on Earth and in Heaven remained
actively upon the earth until the days of Elijah the Prophet, one of Messengers with Keys.
Therefore, according to President Brigham Young, Jesus Christ had to have been married
to more than one wife, before he was exalted. Thus, the New Testament does not contain
a complete record of the Saints family relationships. Furthermore, Biblical society clearly
included plural marriage, as it was "believed in and practiced by the ancients", (as three
years previous to the death of Adam, he called Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared,
Enoch, and Methuselah; all just high priests, having the Holy Priesthood, after the Order
of the Son of God, with the residue of his, Adam's righteous posterity, into the green valley
of Adam-ondi-Ahman); which society continued on through Shem, or Melchizedek, the son
of Noah; to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, or Israel; down into the later Christian Gentile era.
This certainly indicates a tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical records, when actually
compared mathematically, with the high number of global inhabitants, in pre-flood times.
Section 138, Vision of the Redemption of the Dead (Doctrine and Covenants 138): "Among
the great and mighty ones who were assembled in this vast congregation of the righteous
were Father Adam, the Ancient of Days and father of all, And our glorious Mother Eve,
with many of her faithful daughters who had lived through the (past Old Testament) ages
and worshiped the true and living God." Adam, or Michael, as the Holy Patriarchal Head
of the Human Family, by Right, has been delegated to hold the keys of the resurrection
of the dead, from Jesus Christ, or Jehovah; having previously passed through that order,
and continuously assists in bringing to pass the crowning of his posterity with immortality,
and eternal lives, under the direction of Son Ahman, the Messiah, Lord of Lords, and King
of Kings. President Joseph F. Smith validates tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical
records,: "I saw the hosts of the dead, both small and great." -- "And there were gathered
together in one place an innumerable company of the spirits of the just who had been
faithful in the testimony of Jesus while they lived in mortality;" "They were assembled
awaiting the advent of the Son of God into the spirit world, to declare their redemption
from the bands of death." (Thus, this would have been an innumerable company of spirits
having lived in Old Testament times, as "Their sleeping dust was to be restored unto its
perfect frame . . .") "While this vast multitude waited and conversed, rejoicing in the hour
of their deliverance from the chains of death, the Son of God appeared, declaring liberty
to the captives who had been faithful," Also, this multitude did not include all the wicked.
Specific mention is made of seeing and critically identifying additional Old Testament
personalities: Abel, the first martyr; Seth, one of the mighty ones; Noah, of the flood era;
Shem, the great high priest (Melchizedek); Abraham, the father of the faithful; Isaac,
Jacob; Moses, the great law-giver of Israel; Isaiah, who spoke of the Messiah; Ezekiel;
Daniel; Elias, who appeared on the Mount of Transfiguration; and the prophet Malachi;
"All these and many more, even the prophets who dwelt among the Nephites and testified
of the coming of the Son of God, mingled in the vast assembly"; waiting for deliverance.
Furthermore, Jesus Christ mentions in Matthew 7: 19–23, when asked why Moses permitted
divorce; Jesus Christ declared: "Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered
you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you,
Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another,
committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery."
Isaiah 3 & 4 notes Zion and her daughters will be redeemed and cleansed in the coming
millennial day, by the restoration of polygamy: "And in that day, seven women shall
take hold of one man, saying: We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel;
only let us be called by thy name to take away our reproach"; re: 2 Nephi Chapter 14, as
mentioned in the Book of Mormon; indicating modern day Zion is yet filthy, beforehand.
Since there was no divorce in the beginning, under the ancient patriarchal priesthood,
the unity of family associations would have greatly expanded the number of the children
living upon the earth, down to the time of the period of the administration of prophet Elijah.
Therefore, it is priesthood unrighteous dominion, in the cancellation of Temple Sealings,
or civil divorces, and not genetic DNA, that promotes extreme mental cruelty within lives
of separated posterity; that is the origination of adultery, fornication; all perverted forms
of biological disorientation of the children; a diminished World Population Since Creation.]

The Priesthood was first given to Adam. He obtained the First Presidency and held
the Keys of it. He obtained it in the creation before the world was formed, and they
remained on the earth until the Old Testament times of Elijah the Prophet; the last
of those prophets to hold the Keys of the Sealing Power of the Melchizedek Priesthood.
All the ancient prophets of the Old Testament times had the Melchizedek Priesthood.
The Order of the Melchizedek Priesthood was formerly called the High Priesthood of
the Holy Order of God, or the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God. It is
the Church of the Firstborn, or glorified Patriarchal Priesthood celestial heir members.
The sealed family is central to the Creator's plan for the eternal destiny of His children.
Old Testament Biblical Records include statements concerning High Priests presiding
in, or holding Priesthood Keys in the Melchizedek Priesthood, as well as Bishops, who
hold the mighty sacred keys over The Aaronic Priesthood: The Ministering of Angels.
Priesthood of Aaron restoration was performed by John the Baptist. The testimony of
Jesus Christ was: This is he, of whom it is written, behold, I send my messenger before
thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. For I say unto you, Among those
that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he
that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. And all the people that heard
him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of dear John.
Thus, we carefully listen to Andrea Bocelli - Angels We Have Heard On High - YouTube™.
Also: Listen to the Voice of Jesus Christ, your Lord, your God, and your Redeemer, whose
word is quick and powerful. And also John the son of Zacharias, which Zacharias he (Elias,
to whom I have committed the keys of bringing to pass the restoration of all things spoken
by the mouth of all the holy prophets since the world began, concerning the last days),
visited and gave promise that he should have a son, and his name should be John,
and he should be filled with the spirit of Elias; Which John I have have sent unto you,
my servants, Joseph Smith, Jun., and Oliver Cowdery, to ordain you unto the first priest-
hood, which you have received, that you might be called and ordained even as Aaron.

What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
[Research Note: RootsTech • FamilySearch was presented 29 Feb 2024 - 02 Mar 2024; it
did "provide meaningful connections through a deeper understanding of family history
and genealogy." Class Schedule Preview shows 27 DNA results. A Search of RootsTech
On-Demand Library reveals an added 289 results. The Science of Molecular Genealogy
suggests: "Molecular science can help genealogists uncover previously unknown family
relationships, verify or refute claims to ancestry, and shed light on questions that have
puzzled family historians for years." There are however, scientific limitations involved,
when considering Latter-day Saint, or Christian belief systems, based upon Bible text;
showing The Internal Consistency and Historical Reliability of the Biblical Genealogies.
Scott Ray Woodward (biologist)] extracted and typed DNA going back millions of years.
Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His EASTER resurrection, validated by LDS (D&C 138),
suggest serious reconsiderations on the actual value of DNA studies, extrapolated back
in temporal time. Foremost of all, What are resurrected bodies like?, declares they are
physical; and thus, no physical bodies upon the earth for molecular science to evaluate.
Moroni, who lived in the fifth century AD, additionally is a physically resurrected being.
So what is left of the ancient molecular past, to scientifically evaluate, are remains from
wicked societies, and social environments, destined for a future Telestial or Terrestrial
eternal existence. All these societies, except for Noah and his family relationships, had
disruptive global flood experiences, degrading and altering their molecular body purity
(as well as a stated corruption of all flesh, intermingled between animals and humans).
Additionally, all spirit is matter, but it is more refined and pure, such that it is infinitely
incapable of being measured by modern technological instruments; nor by DNA data.
God of course knows all of His spirit children, and knows from the beginnings of their
spiritual birth in heaven; thus He knows the past, present and future of the Universe,
knowing beforehand, the beginnings and ends of all the works of His own Creations.

In conclusion then, What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
The Book of Mormon is the greatest primary witness on the face of the earth to validate
the authenticity of the Ancient Biblical Record, with Moroni as the greatest key witness.
The Prophet Moroni testifies emphatically that the Theory of Evolution is so completely
false, as noted in Line upon Line: Moroni 10:3–5. Behold, I would exhort you, that when
ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would
remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation
of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your
hearts. . . . And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things. . . .
The key element of this witness testimony concerning the real mortal existence of Adam,
and the factual evidence of the creation of the earth, and all the subsequent related things
thereto, is clearly stated within The Book of Ether. Moroni specifically abridged the record
of the Jaredites. Therefore, from a professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
he is an intimate, personally involved, eye-witness to this account of those twenty and four
plates which were found by the people of Limhi, which is called the Book of Ether. Moroni
mentions: "And as I suppose that the first part of this record, which speaks concerning the
creation of the world, and also of Adam, and an account from that time even to the great
tower, and whatsoever things transpired among the children of men until that time, is had
among the Jews-- Therefore I do not write those things which transpired from the days of
Adam until that time; but they are had upon the plates; and whoso findeth them, the same
will have power that he may get the full account" (as they are written in Adamic language).
Additionally Legal Records, the Brass Plates, held in the originating possession of Laban,
contained not only the Jewish scriptures, but also Lehi's own genealogy back to Joseph
in Egypt. From a dispassionate, professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
this directly relates to the genealogical Truths taught in 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi, Moroni had
access to the Brass Plates of Laban and knew that those records came forth out of the City
of Jerusalem; and were handed down intact by the seed of originating Nephite father Lehi.
Nevertheless, the very false theory, or secular doctrine of Evolution is currently, and very
openly, and proudly; blatantly expounded upon, by open-minded "scientific" leadership,
from the sacred halls of learning, at Brigham Young University. Yet, Nephi, son of Lehi,
had a vision of great significance, recorded in 1 Nephi 13:20–42: Plain and Precious Truths.
In particular, from a genealogical research standpoint, 1 Nephi 13: 23, the Gentiles, or us,
today, had a book, which an angel from the Throne of God in Heaven declared, stating:
Behold it proceedeth out of the mouth of a Jew (collectively, the ancestry of the Jews).
"The book that thou beholdest is a record of the Jews, which contains the covenants
of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house of Israel (from Old Testament times);
and it also containeth many of the prophecies of the holy prophets; and it is a record
like unto the engravings which are upon the plates of brass, save there are not so many;
nevertheless, they contain the covenants of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house
of Israel; wherefore, they are of great worth unto the Gentiles." Organic Evolution is false.

Understanding Historical Dates And Calendars For Genealogical Research
[Research Note: Calendars are part of record keeping. There is no real physical science
in existence without accurate record keeping, to determine what has transpired in past
events, or real experiments, to determine what is going on in the present, or knowing
what calculated future outcomes will be. True and perfect science is based upon written
testimony, and the testimony of Jesus Christ is the The Spirit of Prophecy: true science.
There are the massive amounts of witnesses verifying the origination of calendar record
keeping, before, and since the beginning of time.  References are found in Astronomy /
Astronomy, where records of the fathers contain knowledge of creation: planets, stars.
See references: Book of Remembrance, Knowledge, Record, and Write, Wrote, Written;
for the Lord always commands all men to write all the words which he speaks to them.
Revelation, 27–28 December 1832, Broadsheet [D&C 88:1–126], Page 1 mentions two great
concepts: (1) All kingdoms have a law given; and there are many kingdoms; for there is no
space in the which there is no kingdom; & there is no kingdom in which there is no space,
either a greater or lesser kingdom. And unto every kingdom is given a law; and unto every
law there are certain bounds, also, and conditions. (2) . . . for intelligence cleaveth unto
intelligence . . . judgment goeth before the face of him who sitteth upon the throne,
and governeth and executeth all things; he comprehendeth all things, and all things
are before him, and all things are round about him; and he is above all things, and in
all things, and is through all things, and is round about all things: and all things are
by him, and of him; even God, for ever, and ever. From a viewpoint of heavenly physics
and astronomy: there is no vacuum in the Universe; forever having matter and energy
existing in an intertwined state of being. Furthermore, the Universe is forever in control,
magnifying the Glory of God, within all its elements; condensing disparate intelligences.]

     (5) The children of Shem were Elam, Ashur, Arpakhshad, Lud, and Aran.
     The sons of Ashur were Gezrôn, Ishai; and Arpakhshad begat Shelaḥ,

B.  Book of Jubilees . . . [Chapter 8] The Book of Jubilees
     About 15 Jubilees scrolls written in Hebrew were found at Qumran. . . .
     In the twenty-ninth jubilee, in the first week, [1373 A.M.] in the beginning
     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, . . .

C.  According to age dates from the Pearl of Great Price, Arphaxad
     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;
     also indicating that only 8 (eight) were saved on the Ark; means 8 (eight) adults.
     See: Children in the Ancient Near East - The Biblical Archaeology Society Library;
     furthermore suggesting that all individuals under servitude were also not counted.
     "What is the best way to understand servitude in the Old and New Testaments"?
     Records indicate therefore, that Egyptus, also known as Zeptah, came on the Ark.
     Book of Abraham Manuscript, circa July–circa November 1835–
     [Abraham 1:1–2:18], Page 5. The land of Egypt being first discovered by a woman,
     even the daughter of Ham, named Egyptes, indicates it was an isolated area, not
     previously known to the family of Noah, prior to the global flood. The manner of
     the first government, of Egypt was established by Pharaoh; nevertheless, geographic
     settlements of the sons of Egyptes, daughter of Ham, was directed by Queen Egyptes.
     She apparently sought to remove her family posterity from direct affiliation with Noah;
     as his other sons Shem and Japheth, were designated masters over Ham's posterity;
     while yet claiming in isolation, that her Royal Posterity held Patriarchal Leadership.

D.  Antiquities of the Jews - Book I - From the Creation to the Death of Isaac
     "Now when Noah had lived three hundred and fifty years after the Flood, and that
     all that time happily, he died, having lived the number of nine hundred and fifty
     years. But let no one, upon comparing the lives of the ancients with our lives, and
     with the few years which we now live, think that what we have said of them is false;
     or make the shortness of our lives at present an argument, that neither did they attain
     to so long a duration of life, for those ancients were beloved of God, and [lately]
     made by God himself; and because their food was then fitter for the prolongation
     of life, might well live so great a number of years: and besides, God afforded them
     a longer time of life on account of their virtue, and the good use they made of it in
     astronomical and geometrical discoveries, which would not have afforded the time
     of foretelling [the periods of the stars] unless they had lived six hundred years; for
     the Great Year is completed in that interval. Now I have for witnesses to what I have
     said, all those that have written Antiquities, both among the Greeks and barbarians;
     for even Manetho, who wrote the Egyptian History, and Berosus, who collected the
     Chaldean Monuments, and Mochus, and Hestieus, and besides these, Hieronymus
     the Egyptian, and those who composed the Phoenician History, agree to what I here
     say: Hesiod also, and Hecatseus, Hellanicus, and Acusilaus; and besides these,
     Ephorus and Nicolaus relate that the ancients lived a thousand years. But as to these
     matters, let every one look upon them as he thinks fit."  [Research Note: One Day in
     the process of Creation, to God Ahman on Kolob, is equivalent to 1,000 earth years.
     Berossus, or Berosus, circa 3rd century B. C., reckoned time in intervals of 60, 600,
     and 3600 years: a base-60 (Sexagesimal system); with 5 as one of the prime numbers.
     The number of seconds in minute, the number of minutes in an hour is also base-60.
     Grammar and Alphabet of the Egyptian Language, circa July–circa November 1835,
     has characters arranged into five degrees; being arranged differently in each part.
     Mathematics/Astronomy - Wikiversity, shows that Altitude (Alt), sometimes referred

015:   SALAH - SHELAH - SHELAH (the son of ARPHAXAD)

Family of Salah - Shelah:
Selah (biblical figure): Chart / Salah |

Marriage:

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.]
[Research Note: Plural Marriage "was believed in and practiced by the ancients"; noted
Brigham Young: Beneficial Effects of Polygamy (Journal of Discourses). As LDS President,
Brigham Young also stated "that if you desire with all your hearts to obtain the blessings
which Abraham obtained, you will be polygamists at least in your faith, or you will come
short of enjoying the salvation and the glory which Abraham has obtained. This is as true
as that God lives. . . . The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those
who enter into polygamy. Others attain unto a glory and may even be permitted to come
into the presence of the Father and the Son (in the Celestial Earth Kingdom; single, or in
a monogamously Temple sealed marriage), but they cannot (fully) reign as kings in glory,
because they had blessings offered unto them (to have power to save their own posterity),
and they refused to accept them." The Power to Seal on Earth and in Heaven remained
actively upon the earth until the days of Elijah the Prophet, one of Messengers with Keys.
Therefore, according to President Brigham Young, Jesus Christ had to have been married
to more than one wife, before he was exalted. Thus, the New Testament does not contain
a complete record of the Saints family relationships. Furthermore, Biblical society clearly
included plural marriage, as it was "believed in and practiced by the ancients", (as three
years previous to the death of Adam, he called Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared,
Enoch, and Methuselah; all just high priests, having the Holy Priesthood, after the Order
of the Son of God, with the residue of his, Adam's righteous posterity, into the green valley
of Adam-ondi-Ahman); which society continued on through Shem, or Melchizedek, the son
of Noah; to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, or Israel; down into the later Christian Gentile era.
This certainly indicates a tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical records, when actually
compared mathematically, with the high number of global inhabitants, in pre-flood times.
Section 138, Vision of the Redemption of the Dead (Doctrine and Covenants 138): "Among
the great and mighty ones who were assembled in this vast congregation of the righteous
were Father Adam, the Ancient of Days and father of all, And our glorious Mother Eve,
with many of her faithful daughters who had lived through the (past Old Testament) ages
and worshiped the true and living God." Adam, or Michael, as the Holy Patriarchal Head
of the Human Family, by Right, has been delegated to hold the keys of the resurrection
of the dead, from Jesus Christ, or Jehovah; having previously passed through that order,
and continuously assists in bringing to pass the crowning of his posterity with immortality,
and eternal lives, under the direction of Son Ahman, the Messiah, Lord of Lords, and King
of Kings. President Joseph F. Smith validates tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical
records,: "I saw the hosts of the dead, both small and great." -- "And there were gathered
together in one place an innumerable company of the spirits of the just who had been
faithful in the testimony of Jesus while they lived in mortality;" "They were assembled
awaiting the advent of the Son of God into the spirit world, to declare their redemption
from the bands of death." (Thus, this would have been an innumerable company of spirits
having lived in Old Testament times, as "Their sleeping dust was to be restored unto its
perfect frame . . .") "While this vast multitude waited and conversed, rejoicing in the hour
of their deliverance from the chains of death, the Son of God appeared, declaring liberty
to the captives who had been faithful," Also, this multitude did not include all the wicked.
Specific mention is made of seeing and critically identifying additional Old Testament
personalities: Abel, the first martyr; Seth, one of the mighty ones; Noah, of the flood era;
Shem, the great high priest (Melchizedek); Abraham, the father of the faithful; Isaac,
Jacob; Moses, the great law-giver of Israel; Isaiah, who spoke of the Messiah; Ezekiel;
Daniel; Elias, who appeared on the Mount of Transfiguration; and the prophet Malachi;
"All these and many more, even the prophets who dwelt among the Nephites and testified
of the coming of the Son of God, mingled in the vast assembly"; waiting for deliverance.
Furthermore, Jesus Christ mentions in Matthew 7: 19–23, when asked why Moses permitted
divorce; Jesus Christ declared: "Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered
you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you,
Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another,
committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery."
Isaiah 3 & 4 notes Zion and her daughters will be redeemed and cleansed in the coming
millennial day, by the restoration of polygamy: "And in that day, seven women shall
take hold of one man, saying: We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel;
only let us be called by thy name to take away our reproach"; re: 2 Nephi Chapter 14, as
mentioned in the Book of Mormon; indicating modern day Zion is yet filthy, beforehand.
Since there was no divorce in the beginning, under the ancient patriarchal priesthood,
the unity of family associations would have greatly expanded the number of the children
living upon the earth, down to the time of the period of the administration of prophet Elijah.
Therefore, it is priesthood unrighteous dominion, in the cancellation of Temple Sealings,
or civil divorces, and not genetic DNA, that promotes extreme mental cruelty within lives
of separated posterity; that is the origination of adultery, fornication; all perverted forms
of biological disorientation of the children; a diminished World Population Since Creation.]

The Priesthood was first given to Adam. He obtained the First Presidency and held
the Keys of it. He obtained it in the creation before the world was formed, and they
remained on the earth until the Old Testament times of Elijah the Prophet; the last
of those prophets to hold the Keys of the Sealing Power of the Melchizedek Priesthood.
All the ancient prophets of the Old Testament times had the Melchizedek Priesthood.
The Order of the Melchizedek Priesthood was formerly called the High Priesthood of
the Holy Order of God, or the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God. It is
the Church of the Firstborn, or glorified Patriarchal Priesthood celestial heir members.
The sealed family is central to the Creator's plan for the eternal destiny of His children.
Old Testament Biblical Records include statements concerning High Priests presiding
in, or holding Priesthood Keys in the Melchizedek Priesthood, as well as Bishops, who
hold the mighty sacred keys over The Aaronic Priesthood: The Ministering of Angels.
Priesthood of Aaron restoration was performed by John the Baptist. The testimony of
Jesus Christ was: This is he, of whom it is written, behold, I send my messenger before
thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. For I say unto you, Among those
that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he
that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. And all the people that heard
him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of dear John.
Thus, we carefully listen to Andrea Bocelli - Angels We Have Heard On High - YouTube™.
Also: Listen to the Voice of Jesus Christ, your Lord, your God, and your Redeemer, whose
word is quick and powerful. And also John the son of Zacharias, which Zacharias he (Elias,
to whom I have committed the keys of bringing to pass the restoration of all things spoken
by the mouth of all the holy prophets since the world began, concerning the last days),
visited and gave promise that he should have a son, and his name should be John,
and he should be filled with the spirit of Elias; Which John I have have sent unto you,
my servants, Joseph Smith, Jun., and Oliver Cowdery, to ordain you unto the first priest-
hood, which you have received, that you might be called and ordained even as Aaron.

What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
[Research Note: RootsTech • FamilySearch was presented 29 Feb 2024 - 02 Mar 2024; it
did "provide meaningful connections through a deeper understanding of family history
and genealogy." Class Schedule Preview shows 27 DNA results. A Search of RootsTech
On-Demand Library reveals an added 289 results. The Science of Molecular Genealogy
suggests: "Molecular science can help genealogists uncover previously unknown family
relationships, verify or refute claims to ancestry, and shed light on questions that have
puzzled family historians for years." There are however, scientific limitations involved,
when considering Latter-day Saint, or Christian belief systems, based upon Bible text;
showing The Internal Consistency and Historical Reliability of the Biblical Genealogies.
Scott Ray Woodward (biologist)] extracted and typed DNA going back millions of years.
Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His EASTER resurrection, validated by LDS (D&C 138),
suggest serious reconsiderations on the actual value of DNA studies, extrapolated back
in temporal time. Foremost of all, What are resurrected bodies like?, declares they are
physical; and thus, no physical bodies upon the earth for molecular science to evaluate.
Moroni, who lived in the fifth century AD, additionally is a physically resurrected being.
So what is left of the ancient molecular past, to scientifically evaluate, are remains from
wicked societies, and social environments, destined for a future Telestial or Terrestrial
eternal existence. All these societies, except for Noah and his family relationships, had
disruptive global flood experiences, degrading and altering their molecular body purity
(as well as a stated corruption of all flesh, intermingled between animals and humans).
Additionally, all spirit is matter, but it is more refined and pure, such that it is infinitely
incapable of being measured by modern technological instruments; nor by DNA data.
God of course knows all of His spirit children, and knows from the beginnings of their
spiritual birth in heaven; thus He knows the past, present and future of the Universe,
knowing beforehand, the beginnings and ends of all the works of His own Creations.

In conclusion then, What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
The Book of Mormon is the greatest primary witness on the face of the earth to validate
the authenticity of the Ancient Biblical Record, with Moroni as the greatest key witness.
The Prophet Moroni testifies emphatically that the Theory of Evolution is so completely
false, as noted in Line upon Line: Moroni 10:3–5. Behold, I would exhort you, that when
ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would
remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation
of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your
hearts. . . . And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things. . . .
The key element of this witness testimony concerning the real mortal existence of Adam,
and the factual evidence of the creation of the earth, and all the subsequent related things
thereto, is clearly stated within The Book of Ether. Moroni specifically abridged the record
of the Jaredites. Therefore, from a professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
he is an intimate, personally involved, eye-witness to this account of those twenty and four
plates which were found by the people of Limhi, which is called the Book of Ether. Moroni
mentions: "And as I suppose that the first part of this record, which speaks concerning the
creation of the world, and also of Adam, and an account from that time even to the great
tower, and whatsoever things transpired among the children of men until that time, is had
among the Jews-- Therefore I do not write those things which transpired from the days of
Adam until that time; but they are had upon the plates; and whoso findeth them, the same
will have power that he may get the full account" (as they are written in Adamic language).
Additionally Legal Records, the Brass Plates, held in the originating possession of Laban,
contained not only the Jewish scriptures, but also Lehi's own genealogy back to Joseph
in Egypt. From a dispassionate, professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
this directly relates to the genealogical Truths taught in 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi, Moroni had
access to the Brass Plates of Laban and knew that those records came forth out of the City
of Jerusalem; and were handed down intact by the seed of originating Nephite father Lehi.
Nevertheless, the very false theory, or secular doctrine of Evolution is currently, and very
openly, and proudly; blatantly expounded upon, by open-minded "scientific" leadership,
from the sacred halls of learning, at Brigham Young University. Yet, Nephi, son of Lehi,
had a vision of great significance, recorded in 1 Nephi 13:20–42: Plain and Precious Truths.
In particular, from a genealogical research standpoint, 1 Nephi 13: 23, the Gentiles, or us,
today, had a book, which an angel from the Throne of God in Heaven declared, stating:
Behold it proceedeth out of the mouth of a Jew (collectively, the ancestry of the Jews).
"The book that thou beholdest is a record of the Jews, which contains the covenants
of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house of Israel (from Old Testament times);
and it also containeth many of the prophecies of the holy prophets; and it is a record
like unto the engravings which are upon the plates of brass, save there are not so many;
nevertheless, they contain the covenants of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house
of Israel; wherefore, they are of great worth unto the Gentiles." Organic Evolution is false.

Understanding Historical Dates And Calendars For Genealogical Research
[Research Note: Calendars are part of record keeping. There is no real physical science
in existence without accurate record keeping, to determine what has transpired in past
events, or real experiments, to determine what is going on in the present, or knowing
what calculated future outcomes will be. True and perfect science is based upon written
testimony, and the testimony of Jesus Christ is the The Spirit of Prophecy: true science.
There are the massive amounts of witnesses verifying the origination of calendar record
keeping, before, and since the beginning of time.  References are found in Astronomy /
Astronomy, where records of the fathers contain knowledge of creation: planets, stars.
See references: Book of Remembrance, Knowledge, Record, and Write, Wrote, Written;
for the Lord always commands all men to write all the words which he speaks to them.
Revelation, 27–28 December 1832, Broadsheet [D&C 88:1–126], Page 1 mentions two great
concepts: (1) All kingdoms have a law given; and there are many kingdoms; for there is no
space in the which there is no kingdom; & there is no kingdom in which there is no space,
either a greater or lesser kingdom. And unto every kingdom is given a law; and unto every
law there are certain bounds, also, and conditions. (2) . . . for intelligence cleaveth unto
intelligence . . . judgment goeth before the face of him who sitteth upon the throne,
and governeth and executeth all things; he comprehendeth all things, and all things
are before him, and all things are round about him; and he is above all things, and in
all things, and is through all things, and is round about all things: and all things are
by him, and of him; even God, for ever, and ever. From a viewpoint of heavenly physics
and astronomy: there is no vacuum in the Universe; forever having matter and energy
existing in an intertwined state of being. Furthermore, the Universe is forever in control,
magnifying the Glory of God, within all its elements; condensing disparate intelligences.]

     "Now when Noah had lived three hundred and fifty years after the Flood, and that
     all that time happily, he died, having lived the number of nine hundred and fifty
     years. But let no one, upon comparing the lives of the ancients with our lives, and
     with the few years which we now live, think that what we have said of them is false;
     or make the shortness of our lives at present an argument, that neither did they attain
     to so long a duration of life, for those ancients were beloved of God, and [lately]
     made by God himself; and because their food was then fitter for the prolongation
     of life, might well live so great a number of years: and besides, God afforded them
     a longer time of life on account of their virtue, and the good use they made of it in
     astronomical and geometrical discoveries, which would not have afforded the time
     of foretelling [the periods of the stars] unless they had lived six hundred years; for
     the Great Year is completed in that interval. Now I have for witnesses to what I have
     said, all those that have written Antiquities, both among the Greeks and barbarians;
     for even Manetho, who wrote the Egyptian History, and Berosus, who collected the
     Chaldean Monuments, and Mochus, and Hestieus, and besides these, Hieronymus
     the Egyptian, and those who composed the Phoenician History, agree to what I here
     say: Hesiod also, and Hecatseus, Hellanicus, and Acusilaus; and besides these,
     Ephorus and Nicolaus relate that the ancients lived a thousand years. But as to these
     matters, let every one look upon them as he thinks fit."  [Research Note: One Day in
     the process of Creation, to God Ahman on Kolob, is equivalent to 1,000 earth years.
     Berossus, or Berosus, circa 3rd century B. C., reckoned time in intervals of 60, 600,
     and 3600 years: a base-60 (Sexagesimal system); with 5 as one of the prime numbers.
     The number of seconds in minute, the number of minutes in an hour is also base-60.

     to as elevation, is the angle between the object and the observer's local horizon. It
     is expressed as an angle between 0 degrees to 90 degrees; and 5 divides into 90
     degrees = 18 times; and that 6 divides into 90 degrees = 15 times. Now, the Behenian
     fixed stars are a selection of fifteen stars considered especially useful for magical
     applications in the medieval astrology of Europe and the Arab world; each is also
     connected with a gemstone and plant; and when a planet was within six degrees
     of an associated star, this influence was thought to be particularly strong. However,
     Facsimile 2,  from the Book of Abraham, notes Fig. 3. Is made to represent God,
     sitting upon his throne, clothed with power and authority; with a crown of eternal
     light upon his head, representing also the grand Key-words of the Holy Priesthood,
     as revealed to Adam in the Garden of Eden, as also to Seth, Noah, Melchizedek,
     Abraham, and all to whom the Priesthood was revealed (listed in Patriarchal Order).
     There were six days given in the scriptures for the creation of this earth by Elohim:
     The heads of the Gods, or, the head one of the Gods, appointed one God for us.
     And, the Sun, borrows its light from Kolob through the medium of Kae-e-vanrash,
     which is the grand Key, or in other words, the governing power, which governs
     fifteen (15) other fixed planets or stars, as also Floeese or the Moon, the Earth,
     and the Sun in their annual revolutions. The Ancient Jewish Urim and Thummim
     had the names of the twelve (12) Tribes engraved on the breastpiece, to which
     were added those of the three covenant Patriarchs: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob;
     together with the word shevet ("tribe") so as to encompass the whole alphabet;
     thus representing the (3) Patriarchal High Priest Heads of the full House of Israel;
     and the Priestly Breastplate, having individual Tribal gemstones, or The Jewels;
     linguistically together in oracle revelations, mathematically and astronomically.
     A full shadow of the Earth on the Moon has an apparent radius of curvature equal

     solar apparent radius 0.25 degree) we get an Earth apparent radius of 1 degree.
     This yields for the Earth-Moon distance 60 Earth radii of 384,000 km. This procedure

     by pilgrims for ritual purification before visiting the Holy Temple enclosure.
     And Jesus restored the eyesight of a blind man by making clay with his spittle,

Family of Eber - Heber:

Marriage:

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.]
[Research Note: Plural Marriage "was believed in and practiced by the ancients"; noted
Brigham Young: Beneficial Effects of Polygamy (Journal of Discourses). As LDS President,
Brigham Young also stated "that if you desire with all your hearts to obtain the blessings
which Abraham obtained, you will be polygamists at least in your faith, or you will come
short of enjoying the salvation and the glory which Abraham has obtained. This is as true
as that God lives. . . . The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those
who enter into polygamy. Others attain unto a glory and may even be permitted to come
into the presence of the Father and the Son (in the Celestial Earth Kingdom; single, or in
a monogamously Temple sealed marriage), but they cannot (fully) reign as kings in glory,
because they had blessings offered unto them (to have power to save their own posterity),
and they refused to accept them." The Power to Seal on Earth and in Heaven remained
actively upon the earth until the days of Elijah the Prophet, one of Messengers with Keys.
Therefore, according to President Brigham Young, Jesus Christ had to have been married
to more than one wife, before he was exalted. Thus, the New Testament does not contain
a complete record of the Saints family relationships. Furthermore, Biblical society clearly
included plural marriage, as it was "believed in and practiced by the ancients", (as three
years previous to the death of Adam, he called Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared,
Enoch, and Methuselah; all just high priests, having the Holy Priesthood, after the Order
of the Son of God, with the residue of his, Adam's righteous posterity, into the green valley
of Adam-ondi-Ahman); which society continued on through Shem, or Melchizedek, the son
of Noah; to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, or Israel; down into the later Christian Gentile era.
This certainly indicates a tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical records, when actually
compared mathematically, with the high number of global inhabitants, in pre-flood times.
Section 138, Vision of the Redemption of the Dead (Doctrine and Covenants 138): "Among
the great and mighty ones who were assembled in this vast congregation of the righteous
were Father Adam, the Ancient of Days and father of all, And our glorious Mother Eve,
with many of her faithful daughters who had lived through the (past Old Testament) ages
and worshiped the true and living God." Adam, or Michael, as the Holy Patriarchal Head
of the Human Family, by Right, has been delegated to hold the keys of the resurrection
of the dead, from Jesus Christ, or Jehovah; having previously passed through that order,
and continuously assists in bringing to pass the crowning of his posterity with immortality,
and eternal lives, under the direction of Son Ahman, the Messiah, Lord of Lords, and King
of Kings. President Joseph F. Smith validates tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical
records,: "I saw the hosts of the dead, both small and great." -- "And there were gathered
together in one place an innumerable company of the spirits of the just who had been
faithful in the testimony of Jesus while they lived in mortality;" "They were assembled
awaiting the advent of the Son of God into the spirit world, to declare their redemption
from the bands of death." (Thus, this would have been an innumerable company of spirits
having lived in Old Testament times, as "Their sleeping dust was to be restored unto its
perfect frame . . .") "While this vast multitude waited and conversed, rejoicing in the hour
of their deliverance from the chains of death, the Son of God appeared, declaring liberty
to the captives who had been faithful," Also, this multitude did not include all the wicked.
Specific mention is made of seeing and critically identifying additional Old Testament
personalities: Abel, the first martyr; Seth, one of the mighty ones; Noah, of the flood era;
Shem, the great high priest (Melchizedek); Abraham, the father of the faithful; Isaac,
Jacob; Moses, the great law-giver of Israel; Isaiah, who spoke of the Messiah; Ezekiel;
Daniel; Elias, who appeared on the Mount of Transfiguration; and the prophet Malachi;
"All these and many more, even the prophets who dwelt among the Nephites and testified
of the coming of the Son of God, mingled in the vast assembly"; waiting for deliverance.
Furthermore, Jesus Christ mentions in Matthew 7: 19–23, when asked why Moses permitted
divorce; Jesus Christ declared: "Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered
you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you,
Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another,
committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery."
Isaiah 3 & 4 notes Zion and her daughters will be redeemed and cleansed in the coming
millennial day, by the restoration of polygamy: "And in that day, seven women shall
take hold of one man, saying: We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel;
only let us be called by thy name to take away our reproach"; re: 2 Nephi Chapter 14, as
mentioned in the Book of Mormon; indicating modern day Zion is yet filthy, beforehand.
Since there was no divorce in the beginning, under the ancient patriarchal priesthood,
the unity of family associations would have greatly expanded the number of the children
living upon the earth, down to the time of the period of the administration of prophet Elijah.
Therefore, it is priesthood unrighteous dominion, in the cancellation of Temple Sealings,
or civil divorces, and not genetic DNA, that promotes extreme mental cruelty within lives
of separated posterity; that is the origination of adultery, fornication; all perverted forms
of biological disorientation of the children; a diminished World Population Since Creation.]

The Priesthood was first given to Adam. He obtained the First Presidency and held
the Keys of it. He obtained it in the creation before the world was formed, and they
remained on the earth until the Old Testament times of Elijah the Prophet; the last
of those prophets to hold the Keys of the Sealing Power of the Melchizedek Priesthood.
All the ancient prophets of the Old Testament times had the Melchizedek Priesthood.
The Order of the Melchizedek Priesthood was formerly called the High Priesthood of
the Holy Order of God, or the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God. It is
the Church of the Firstborn, or glorified Patriarchal Priesthood celestial heir members.
The sealed family is central to the Creator's plan for the eternal destiny of His children.
Old Testament Biblical Records include statements concerning High Priests presiding
in, or holding Priesthood Keys in the Melchizedek Priesthood, as well as Bishops, who
hold the mighty sacred keys over The Aaronic Priesthood: The Ministering of Angels.
Priesthood of Aaron restoration was performed by John the Baptist. The testimony of
Jesus Christ was: This is he, of whom it is written, behold, I send my messenger before
thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. For I say unto you, Among those
that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he
that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. And all the people that heard
him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of dear John.
Thus, we carefully listen to Andrea Bocelli - Angels We Have Heard On High - YouTube™.
Also: Listen to the Voice of Jesus Christ, your Lord, your God, and your Redeemer, whose
word is quick and powerful. And also John the son of Zacharias, which Zacharias he (Elias,
to whom I have committed the keys of bringing to pass the restoration of all things spoken
by the mouth of all the holy prophets since the world began, concerning the last days),
visited and gave promise that he should have a son, and his name should be John,
and he should be filled with the spirit of Elias; Which John I have have sent unto you,
my servants, Joseph Smith, Jun., and Oliver Cowdery, to ordain you unto the first priest-
hood, which you have received, that you might be called and ordained even as Aaron.

What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
[Research Note: RootsTech • FamilySearch was presented 29 Feb 2024 - 02 Mar 2024; it
did "provide meaningful connections through a deeper understanding of family history
and genealogy." Class Schedule Preview shows 27 DNA results. A Search of RootsTech
On-Demand Library reveals an added 289 results. The Science of Molecular Genealogy
suggests: "Molecular science can help genealogists uncover previously unknown family
relationships, verify or refute claims to ancestry, and shed light on questions that have
puzzled family historians for years." There are however, scientific limitations involved,
when considering Latter-day Saint, or Christian belief systems, based upon Bible text;
showing The Internal Consistency and Historical Reliability of the Biblical Genealogies.
Scott Ray Woodward (biologist)] extracted and typed DNA going back millions of years.
Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His EASTER resurrection, validated by LDS (D&C 138),
suggest serious reconsiderations on the actual value of DNA studies, extrapolated back
in temporal time. Foremost of all, What are resurrected bodies like?, declares they are
physical; and thus, no physical bodies upon the earth for molecular science to evaluate.
Moroni, who lived in the fifth century AD, additionally is a physically resurrected being.
So what is left of the ancient molecular past, to scientifically evaluate, are remains from
wicked societies, and social environments, destined for a future Telestial or Terrestrial
eternal existence. All these societies, except for Noah and his family relationships, had
disruptive global flood experiences, degrading and altering their molecular body purity
(as well as a stated corruption of all flesh, intermingled between animals and humans).
Additionally, all spirit is matter, but it is more refined and pure, such that it is infinitely
incapable of being measured by modern technological instruments; nor by DNA data.
God of course knows all of His spirit children, and knows from the beginnings of their
spiritual birth in heaven; thus He knows the past, present and future of the Universe,
knowing beforehand, the beginnings and ends of all the works of His own Creations.

In conclusion then, What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
The Book of Mormon is the greatest primary witness on the face of the earth to validate
the authenticity of the Ancient Biblical Record, with Moroni as the greatest key witness.
The Prophet Moroni testifies emphatically that the Theory of Evolution is so completely
false, as noted in Line upon Line: Moroni 10:3–5. Behold, I would exhort you, that when
ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would
remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation
of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your
hearts. . . . And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things. . . .
The key element of this witness testimony concerning the real mortal existence of Adam,
and the factual evidence of the creation of the earth, and all the subsequent related things
thereto, is clearly stated within The Book of Ether. Moroni specifically abridged the record
of the Jaredites. Therefore, from a professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
he is an intimate, personally involved, eye-witness to this account of those twenty and four
plates which were found by the people of Limhi, which is called the Book of Ether. Moroni
mentions: "And as I suppose that the first part of this record, which speaks concerning the
creation of the world, and also of Adam, and an account from that time even to the great
tower, and whatsoever things transpired among the children of men until that time, is had
among the Jews-- Therefore I do not write those things which transpired from the days of
Adam until that time; but they are had upon the plates; and whoso findeth them, the same
will have power that he may get the full account" (as they are written in Adamic language).
Additionally Legal Records, the Brass Plates, held in the originating possession of Laban,
contained not only the Jewish scriptures, but also Lehi's own genealogy back to Joseph
in Egypt. From a dispassionate, professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
this directly relates to the genealogical Truths taught in 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi, Moroni had
access to the Brass Plates of Laban and knew that those records came forth out of the City
of Jerusalem; and were handed down intact by the seed of originating Nephite father Lehi.
Nevertheless, the very false theory, or secular doctrine of Evolution is currently, and very
openly, and proudly; blatantly expounded upon, by open-minded "scientific" leadership,
from the sacred halls of learning, at Brigham Young University. Yet, Nephi, son of Lehi,
had a vision of great significance, recorded in 1 Nephi 13:20–42: Plain and Precious Truths.
In particular, from a genealogical research standpoint, 1 Nephi 13: 23, the Gentiles, or us,
today, had a book, which an angel from the Throne of God in Heaven declared, stating:
Behold it proceedeth out of the mouth of a Jew (collectively, the ancestry of the Jews).
"The book that thou beholdest is a record of the Jews, which contains the covenants
of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house of Israel (from Old Testament times);
and it also containeth many of the prophecies of the holy prophets; and it is a record
like unto the engravings which are upon the plates of brass, save there are not so many;
nevertheless, they contain the covenants of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house
of Israel; wherefore, they are of great worth unto the Gentiles." Organic Evolution is false.

Understanding Historical Dates And Calendars For Genealogical Research
[Research Note: Calendars are part of record keeping. There is no real physical science
in existence without accurate record keeping, to determine what has transpired in past
events, or real experiments, to determine what is going on in the present, or knowing
what calculated future outcomes will be. True and perfect science is based upon written
testimony, and the testimony of Jesus Christ is the The Spirit of Prophecy: true science.
There are the massive amounts of witnesses verifying the origination of calendar record
keeping, before, and since the beginning of time.  References are found in Astronomy /
Astronomy, where records of the fathers contain knowledge of creation: planets, stars.
See references: Book of Remembrance, Knowledge, Record, and Write, Wrote, Written;
for the Lord always commands all men to write all the words which he speaks to them.
Revelation, 27–28 December 1832, Broadsheet [D&C 88:1–126], Page 1 mentions two great
concepts: (1) All kingdoms have a law given; and there are many kingdoms; for there is no
space in the which there is no kingdom; & there is no kingdom in which there is no space,
either a greater or lesser kingdom. And unto every kingdom is given a law; and unto every
law there are certain bounds, also, and conditions. (2) . . . for intelligence cleaveth unto
intelligence . . . judgment goeth before the face of him who sitteth upon the throne,
and governeth and executeth all things; he comprehendeth all things, and all things
are before him, and all things are round about him; and he is above all things, and in
all things, and is through all things, and is round about all things: and all things are
by him, and of him; even God, for ever, and ever. From a viewpoint of heavenly physics
and astronomy: there is no vacuum in the Universe; forever having matter and energy
existing in an intertwined state of being. Furthermore, the Universe is forever in control,
magnifying the Glory of God, within all its elements; condensing disparate intelligences.]

D.  Antiquities of the Jews - Book I - From the Creation to the Death of Isaac
     "Now when Noah had lived three hundred and fifty years after the Flood, and that
     all that time happily, he died, having lived the number of nine hundred and fifty
     years. But let no one, upon comparing the lives of the ancients with our lives, and
     with the few years which we now live, think that what we have said of them is false;
     or make the shortness of our lives at present an argument, that neither did they attain
     to so long a duration of life, for those ancients were beloved of God, and [lately]
     made by God himself; and because their food was then fitter for the prolongation
     of life, might well live so great a number of years: and besides, God afforded them
     a longer time of life on account of their virtue, and the good use they made of it in
     astronomical and geometrical discoveries, which would not have afforded the time
     of foretelling [the periods of the stars] unless they had lived six hundred years; for
     the Great Year is completed in that interval. Now I have for witnesses to what I have
     said, all those that have written Antiquities, both among the Greeks and barbarians;
     for even Manetho, who wrote the Egyptian History, and Berosus, who collected the
     Chaldean Monuments, and Mochus, and Hestieus, and besides these, Hieronymus
     the Egyptian, and those who composed the Phoenician History, agree to what I here
     say: Hesiod also, and Hecatseus, Hellanicus, and Acusilaus; and besides these,
     Ephorus and Nicolaus relate that the ancients lived a thousand years. But as to these
     matters, let every one look upon them as he thinks fit."  [Research Note: One Day in
     the process of Creation, to God Ahman on Kolob, is equivalent to 1,000 earth years.
     Berossus, or Berosus, circa 3rd century B. C., reckoned time in intervals of 60, 600,
     and 3600 years: a base-60 (Sexagesimal system); with 5 as one of the prime numbers.
     The number of seconds in minute, the number of minutes in an hour is also base-60.
     Grammar and Alphabet of the Egyptian Language, circa July–circa November 1835,
     has characters arranged into five degrees; being arranged differently in each part.
     Mathematics/Astronomy - Wikiversity, shows that Altitude (Alt), sometimes referred
     to as elevation, is the angle between the object and the observer's local horizon. It
     is expressed as an angle between 0 degrees to 90 degrees; and 5 divides into 90
     degrees = 18 times; and that 6 divides into 90 degrees = 15 times. Now, the Behenian
     fixed stars are a selection of fifteen stars considered especially useful for magical
     applications in the medieval astrology of Europe and the Arab world; each is also
     connected with a gemstone and plant; and when a planet was within six degrees
     of an associated star, this influence was thought to be particularly strong. However,
     Facsimile 2,  from the Book of Abraham, notes Fig. 3. Is made to represent God,
     sitting upon his throne, clothed with power and authority; with a crown of eternal
     light upon his head, representing also the grand Key-words of the Holy Priesthood,
     as revealed to Adam in the Garden of Eden, as also to Seth, Noah, Melchizedek,
     Abraham, and all to whom the Priesthood was revealed (listed in Patriarchal Order).
     There were six days given in the scriptures for the creation of this earth by Elohim:
     The heads of the Gods, or, the head one of the Gods, appointed one God for us.
     And, the Sun, borrows its light from Kolob through the medium of Kae-e-vanrash,
     which is the grand Key, or in other words, the governing power, which governs
     fifteen (15) other fixed planets or stars, as also Floeese or the Moon, the Earth,
     and the Sun in their annual revolutions. The Ancient Jewish Urim and Thummim
     had the names of the twelve (12) Tribes engraved on the breastpiece, to which
     were added those of the three covenant Patriarchs: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob;
     together with the word shevet ("tribe") so as to encompass the whole alphabet;
     thus representing the (3) Patriarchal High Priest Heads of the full House of Israel;
     and the Priestly Breastplate, having individual Tribal gemstones, or The Jewels;
     linguistically together in oracle revelations, mathematically and astronomically.
     A full shadow of the Earth on the Moon has an apparent radius of curvature equal
     to the difference between the apparent radii of the Earth and the Sun as seen from
     the Moon. This radius can be seen to be equal to 0.75 degree, from which (with the
     solar apparent radius 0.25 degree) we get an Earth apparent radius of 1 degree.
     This yields for the Earth-Moon distance 60 Earth radii of 384,000 km. This procedure
     was first used by Aristarchus of Samos and Hipparchus; and later, Ptolemy's works.

017:   PELEG (the son of EBER - HEBER)

Family of Peleg:
Peleg: Peleg / Peleg / Chart / Earth / Peleg / World

Marriage:

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.]
[Research Note: Plural Marriage "was believed in and practiced by the ancients"; noted
Brigham Young: Beneficial Effects of Polygamy (Journal of Discourses). As LDS President,
Brigham Young also stated "that if you desire with all your hearts to obtain the blessings
which Abraham obtained, you will be polygamists at least in your faith, or you will come
short of enjoying the salvation and the glory which Abraham has obtained. This is as true
as that God lives. . . . The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those
who enter into polygamy. Others attain unto a glory and may even be permitted to come
into the presence of the Father and the Son (in the Celestial Earth Kingdom; single, or in
a monogamously Temple sealed marriage), but they cannot (fully) reign as kings in glory,
because they had blessings offered unto them (to have power to save their own posterity),
and they refused to accept them." The Power to Seal on Earth and in Heaven remained
actively upon the earth until the days of Elijah the Prophet, one of Messengers with Keys.
Therefore, according to President Brigham Young, Jesus Christ had to have been married
to more than one wife, before he was exalted. Thus, the New Testament does not contain
a complete record of the Saints family relationships. Furthermore, Biblical society clearly
included plural marriage, as it was "believed in and practiced by the ancients", (as three
years previous to the death of Adam, he called Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared,
Enoch, and Methuselah; all just high priests, having the Holy Priesthood, after the Order
of the Son of God, with the residue of his, Adam's righteous posterity, into the green valley
of Adam-ondi-Ahman); which society continued on through Shem, or Melchizedek, the son
of Noah; to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, or Israel; down into the later Christian Gentile era.
This certainly indicates a tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical records, when actually
compared mathematically, with the high number of global inhabitants, in pre-flood times.
Section 138, Vision of the Redemption of the Dead (Doctrine and Covenants 138): "Among
the great and mighty ones who were assembled in this vast congregation of the righteous
were Father Adam, the Ancient of Days and father of all, And our glorious Mother Eve,
with many of her faithful daughters who had lived through the (past Old Testament) ages
and worshiped the true and living God." Adam, or Michael, as the Holy Patriarchal Head
of the Human Family, by Right, has been delegated to hold the keys of the resurrection
of the dead, from Jesus Christ, or Jehovah; having previously passed through that order,
and continuously assists in bringing to pass the crowning of his posterity with immortality,
and eternal lives, under the direction of Son Ahman, the Messiah, Lord of Lords, and King
of Kings. President Joseph F. Smith validates tremendous disparity in surviving Biblical
records,: "I saw the hosts of the dead, both small and great." -- "And there were gathered
together in one place an innumerable company of the spirits of the just who had been
faithful in the testimony of Jesus while they lived in mortality;" "They were assembled
awaiting the advent of the Son of God into the spirit world, to declare their redemption
from the bands of death." (Thus, this would have been an innumerable company of spirits
having lived in Old Testament times, as "Their sleeping dust was to be restored unto its
perfect frame . . .") "While this vast multitude waited and conversed, rejoicing in the hour
of their deliverance from the chains of death, the Son of God appeared, declaring liberty
to the captives who had been faithful," Also, this multitude did not include all the wicked.
Specific mention is made of seeing and critically identifying additional Old Testament
personalities: Abel, the first martyr; Seth, one of the mighty ones; Noah, of the flood era;
Shem, the great high priest (Melchizedek); Abraham, the father of the faithful; Isaac,
Jacob; Moses, the great law-giver of Israel; Isaiah, who spoke of the Messiah; Ezekiel;
Daniel; Elias, who appeared on the Mount of Transfiguration; and the prophet Malachi;
"All these and many more, even the prophets who dwelt among the Nephites and testified
of the coming of the Son of God, mingled in the vast assembly"; waiting for deliverance.
Furthermore, Jesus Christ mentions in Matthew 7: 19–23, when asked why Moses permitted
divorce; Jesus Christ declared: "Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered
you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you,
Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another,
committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery."
Isaiah 3 & 4 notes Zion and her daughters will be redeemed and cleansed in the coming
millennial day, by the restoration of polygamy: "And in that day, seven women shall
take hold of one man, saying: We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel;
only let us be called by thy name to take away our reproach"; re: 2 Nephi Chapter 14, as
mentioned in the Book of Mormon; indicating modern day Zion is yet filthy, beforehand.
Since there was no divorce in the beginning, under the ancient patriarchal priesthood,
the unity of family associations would have greatly expanded the number of the children
living upon the earth, down to the time of the period of the administration of prophet Elijah.
Therefore, it is priesthood unrighteous dominion, in the cancellation of Temple Sealings,
or civil divorces, and not genetic DNA, that promotes extreme mental cruelty within lives
of separated posterity; that is the origination of adultery, fornication; all perverted forms
of biological disorientation of the children; a diminished World Population Since Creation.]

The Priesthood was first given to Adam. He obtained the First Presidency and held
the Keys of it. He obtained it in the creation before the world was formed, and they
remained on the earth until the Old Testament times of Elijah the Prophet; the last
of those prophets to hold the Keys of the Sealing Power of the Melchizedek Priesthood.
All the ancient prophets of the Old Testament times had the Melchizedek Priesthood.
The Order of the Melchizedek Priesthood was formerly called the High Priesthood of
the Holy Order of God, or the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God. It is
the Church of the Firstborn, or glorified Patriarchal Priesthood celestial heir members.
The sealed family is central to the Creator's plan for the eternal destiny of His children.
Old Testament Biblical Records include statements concerning High Priests presiding
in, or holding Priesthood Keys in the Melchizedek Priesthood, as well as Bishops, who
hold the mighty sacred keys over The Aaronic Priesthood: The Ministering of Angels.
Priesthood of Aaron restoration was performed by John the Baptist. The testimony of
Jesus Christ was: This is he, of whom it is written, behold, I send my messenger before
thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. For I say unto you, Among those
that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he
that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. And all the people that heard
him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of dear John.
Thus, we carefully listen to Andrea Bocelli - Angels We Have Heard On High - YouTube™.
Also: Listen to the Voice of Jesus Christ, your Lord, your God, and your Redeemer, whose
word is quick and powerful. And also John the son of Zacharias, which Zacharias he (Elias,
to whom I have committed the keys of bringing to pass the restoration of all things spoken
by the mouth of all the holy prophets since the world began, concerning the last days),
visited and gave promise that he should have a son, and his name should be John,
and he should be filled with the spirit of Elias; Which John I have have sent unto you,
my servants, Joseph Smith, Jun., and Oliver Cowdery, to ordain you unto the first priest-
hood, which you have received, that you might be called and ordained even as Aaron.

What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
[Research Note: RootsTech • FamilySearch was presented 29 Feb 2024 - 02 Mar 2024; it
did "provide meaningful connections through a deeper understanding of family history
and genealogy." Class Schedule Preview shows 27 DNA results. A Search of RootsTech
On-Demand Library reveals an added 289 results. The Science of Molecular Genealogy
suggests: "Molecular science can help genealogists uncover previously unknown family
relationships, verify or refute claims to ancestry, and shed light on questions that have
puzzled family historians for years." There are however, scientific limitations involved,
when considering Latter-day Saint, or Christian belief systems, based upon Bible text;
showing The Internal Consistency and Historical Reliability of the Biblical Genealogies.
Scott Ray Woodward (biologist)] extracted and typed DNA going back millions of years.
Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His EASTER resurrection, validated by LDS (D&C 138),
suggest serious reconsiderations on the actual value of DNA studies, extrapolated back
in temporal time. Foremost of all, What are resurrected bodies like?, declares they are
physical; and thus, no physical bodies upon the earth for molecular science to evaluate.
Moroni, who lived in the fifth century AD, additionally is a physically resurrected being.
So what is left of the ancient molecular past, to scientifically evaluate, are remains from
wicked societies, and social environments, destined for a future Telestial or Terrestrial
eternal existence. All these societies, except for Noah and his family relationships, had
disruptive global flood experiences, degrading and altering their molecular body purity
(as well as a stated corruption of all flesh, intermingled between animals and humans).
Additionally, all spirit is matter, but it is more refined and pure, such that it is infinitely
incapable of being measured by modern technological instruments; nor by DNA data.
God of course knows all of His spirit children, and knows from the beginnings of their
spiritual birth in heaven; thus He knows the past, present and future of the Universe,
knowing beforehand, the beginnings and ends of all the works of His own Creations.

In conclusion then, What Truths Do 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi Teach Us about Jesus Christ?
The Book of Mormon is the greatest primary witness on the face of the earth to validate
the authenticity of the Ancient Biblical Record, with Moroni as the greatest key witness.
The Prophet Moroni testifies emphatically that the Theory of Evolution is so completely
false, as noted in Line upon Line: Moroni 10:3–5. Behold, I would exhort you, that when
ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would
remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation
of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your
hearts. . . . And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things. . . .
The key element of this witness testimony concerning the real mortal existence of Adam,
and the factual evidence of the creation of the earth, and all the subsequent related things
thereto, is clearly stated within The Book of Ether. Moroni specifically abridged the record
of the Jaredites. Therefore, from a professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
he is an intimate, personally involved, eye-witness to this account of those twenty and four
plates which were found by the people of Limhi, which is called the Book of Ether. Moroni
mentions: "And as I suppose that the first part of this record, which speaks concerning the
creation of the world, and also of Adam, and an account from that time even to the great
tower, and whatsoever things transpired among the children of men until that time, is had
among the Jews-- Therefore I do not write those things which transpired from the days of
Adam until that time; but they are had upon the plates; and whoso findeth them, the same
will have power that he may get the full account" (as they are written in Adamic language).
Additionally Legal Records, the Brass Plates, held in the originating possession of Laban,
contained not only the Jewish scriptures, but also Lehi's own genealogy back to Joseph
in Egypt. From a dispassionate, professional genealogical research specialist standpoint,
this directly relates to the genealogical Truths taught in 1 Nephi and 2 Nephi, Moroni had
access to the Brass Plates of Laban and knew that those records came forth out of the City
of Jerusalem; and were handed down intact by the seed of originating Nephite father Lehi.
Nevertheless, the very false theory, or secular doctrine of Evolution is currently, and very
openly, and proudly; blatantly expounded upon, by open-minded "scientific" leadership,
from the sacred halls of learning, at Brigham Young University. Yet, Nephi, son of Lehi,
had a vision of great significance, recorded in 1 Nephi 13:20–42: Plain and Precious Truths.
In particular, from a genealogical research standpoint, 1 Nephi 13: 23, the Gentiles, or us,
today, had a book, which an angel from the Throne of God in Heaven declared, stating:
Behold it proceedeth out of the mouth of a Jew (collectively, the ancestry of the Jews).
"The book that thou beholdest is a record of the Jews, which contains the covenants
of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house of Israel (from Old Testament times);
and it also containeth many of the prophecies of the holy prophets; and it is a record
like unto the engravings which are upon the plates of brass, save there are not so many;
nevertheless, they contain the covenants of the Lord, which he hath made unto the house
of Israel; wherefore, they are of great worth unto the Gentiles." Organic Evolution is false.

Understanding Historical Dates And Calendars For Genealogical Research
[Research Note: Calendars are part of record keeping. There is no real physical science
in existence without accurate record keeping, to determine what has transpired in past
events, or real experiments, to determine what is going on in the present, or knowing
what calculated future outcomes will be. True and perfect science is based upon written
testimony, and the testimony of Jesus Christ is the The Spirit of Prophecy: true science.
There are the massive amounts of witnesses verifying the origination of calendar record
keeping, before, and since the beginning of time.  References are found in Astronomy /
Astronomy, where records of the fathers contain knowledge of creation: planets, stars.
See references: Book of Remembrance, Knowledge, Record, and Write, Wrote, Written;
for the Lord always commands all men to write all the words which he speaks to them.
Revelation, 27–28 December 1832, Broadsheet [D&C 88:1–126], Page 1 mentions two great
concepts: (1) All kingdoms have a law given; and there are many kingdoms; for there is no
space in the which there is no kingdom; & there is no kingdom in which there is no space,
either a greater or lesser kingdom. And unto every kingdom is given a law; and unto every
law there are certain bounds, also, and conditions. (2) . . . for intelligence cleaveth unto
intelligence . . . judgment goeth before the face of him who sitteth upon the throne,
and governeth and executeth all things; he comprehendeth all things, and all things
are before him, and all things are round about him; and he is above all things, and in
all things, and is through all things, and is round about all things: and all things are
by him, and of him; even God, for ever, and ever. From a viewpoint of heavenly physics
and astronomy: there is no vacuum in the Universe; forever having matter and energy
existing in an intertwined state of being. Furthermore, the Universe is forever in control,
magnifying the Glory of God, within all its elements; condensing disparate intelligences.]

A.  Chronicles of Jerahmeel Index- Next: XXVII [Eleazar ben Asher ha-Levi], 12th century.
     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.

B.  Book of Jubilees . . . [Chapter 10] The Book of Jubilees
     About 15 Jubilees scrolls written in Hebrew were found at Qumran. . . .
     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. 2024).
     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 connections into northwest
     United States, Canada, Alaska, to Russian Siberia and Middle East regions.
     Biblical and other texts, reveal the identification of regions by 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.
