In September of 2017, specific instruction was given to folks interested in becoming His people (children of Christ)
“..Seek to recover the lost sheep remnant of this land and of Israel and no longer forsake them. Bring them unto me and teach them of my ways, to walk in them.” T&C 158:11Friday, November 26, 2021

Venus @ Prime
Tonight, while gazing at Jupiter, Saturn and Venus, I witnessed the biggest shooting star of my life! It was beautiful, bright and wonderful, Glory to God! The meteorite streaked across the night sky, in the same area occupied by all three planets.
Right now, and for the rest of 2021, Venus, Saturn and Jupiter will be easy to spot in the evening sky, shortly after sunset. Venus is easy to locate in the southwestern sky, because its so bright! Jupiter and Saturn are close by, while looking to the south.
A post earlier this year (August) describes some of the phases of Venus.
During December, Venus will continue growing in brightness and will remind many people of the new star that appeared and testified of Jesus and His birth just over two thousand years ago.
Prime is the phase of Venus, when the planet is brightest. At the age of thirty, Jesus was baptized by John, and spent the rest of His mortal life teaching people how to live. For three years Jesus would grow in popularity as He shared His Father’s message, while performing many miracles and healings. And then, the unthinkable occurred, as Jesus, the One with power over death, surrendered Himself, a sinless offering, to satisfy the demands of justice. Jesus died, and on the third day attained to the resurrection, and conquered death for all.
Venus, after reaching its brightest, and most brilliant phase, known as “Prime” will die and disappear from the night sky (in January of 2022). Venus will hide in the underworld for 8 days, and will resurrect, as a morning star. How interesting it is, that Jesus described Himself as the Bright and Morning Star, and Venus follows an orbit that testifies of Jesus and His mission here on Earth.
In January after becoming a morning star, Venus will continue rising each morning before the sun, while moving further north each day, for about 9 months. Venus is a special planet, that will be forever linked with Jesus!

Mother and Father in Heaven
Nephi, pondered and prayed concerning the “tree which his father had seen” as Nephi was interested in learning the meaning contained within his father’s vision. While praying, Nephi is taken into the spiritual realm, where he sees and learns much. Nephi records some of his experience with the spirit and expounds upon his father’s vision in great detail.
* Lehi and Nephi should be considered true “Seers” as they were able to witness events including the birth of Christ, (that would take place, 600 years later).
Nephi explains… And it came to pass that the spirit said unto me, Look. And I looked and beheld a tree, and it was like unto the tree which my father had seen; and the beauty thereof was far beyond, yea, exceeding of all beauty, and the whiteness thereof did exceed the whiteness of the driven snow. And it came to pass after I had seen the tree, I said unto the spirit, I behold thou hast shewn unto me the tree which is most precious above all. And he said unto me, What desireth thou? And I said unto him, To know the interpretation thereof.
* Important to notice - Nephi saw the “Tree of Life” standing above the “Fountain of Living Waters” and both of them representing the love of God. How does a beautiful tree and fountain of water represent the love of God?
After Nephi’s wonderful experience, he returns home and explains the important symbolism contained within the vision to his family.
Miryam, also known as Mother in Heaven, is the wife of Jesus. She is mentioned in earlier posts (January of 2021 and December of 2020). The Fall of our Heaven and Earth is mentioned in July of 2020.
* From Jeremiah: For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water.
