#382: "But Ye Would Not!"

(Patterns in History)

24 O, ye nations of the earth, how often would I have gathered you together as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, but ye would not!
25 How oft have I called upon you by the mouth of my servants, and by the ministering of angels, and by mine own voice, and by the voice of thunderings, and by the voice of lightnings, and by the voice of tempests, and by the voice of earthquakes, and great hailstorms, and by the voice of famines and pestilences of every kind, and by the great sound of a trump, and by the voice of judgment, and by the voice of mercy all the day long, and by the voice of glory and honor and the riches of eternal life, and would have saved you with an everlasting salvation, but ye would not!
26 Behold, the day has come, when the cup of the wrath of mine indignation is full.

#381: "They Became Fools"

Patterns in History)

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,*

----------------------------------------------_----------------------/
*New Testament | Romans 1:18 - 22 (bea)

#380: "Supposing They Know of Themselves"

(Patterns in History)

28 O that cunning plan of the evil one! O the vainness, and the frailties, and the foolishness of men! When they are learned they think they are wise, and they hearken not unto the counsel of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves, wherefore, their wisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not. And they shall perish.

Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 9:28 (bea)

#379: "Their Eyes They Have Closed"

(Patterns in History)

25 ... Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,
26 Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:
27 For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

--------------------------------------------/
New Testament | Acts 28:25 - 27 (bea)

#378: "All Eternity Is Pained"

(Patterns in History)

11 For all flesh is corrupted before me; and the powers of darkness prevail upon the earth, among the children of men, in the presence of all the hosts of heaven—
12 Which causeth silence to reign, and all eternity is pained, and the angels are waiting the great command to reap down the earth, to gather the tares that they may be burned; and, behold, the enemy is combined.

Doctrine and Covenants | Section 38:11-12 (bea)

#363: "This Is a Rebellious People"

(Patterns in History)

8 ¶ Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:
9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord:
10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:*

----------------------------------------------------------/
*Old Testament | Isaiah 30:8-10 (bea)

#351: "Unto Their Own Hearts' Lust"

(Patterns in History)

11 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust: and they walked in their own counsels.
13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!*

* (Old Testament | Psalms 81:11-13)

#345: The Oligarchs of 2025?

(Patterns in History)

11 There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.
13 There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.*

---------------------------------------------/
*Old Testament | Proverbs 30:11-14

#343: Lamentation – “Enmity With God”

(Patterns in History)

2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.*

----------------------------------------/
*New Testament | James 4:2-4

#334: Lamentation – “The Wrong Juice”

“Terrific energy is expended—civilisations are built up—excellent institutions devised; but each time something goes wrong. Some fatal flaw always always brings the selfish and cruel people to the top and it all slides back into misery and ruin. In fact, the machine conks. It seems to start up all right and runs a few yards, and then it breaks down. They are trying to run it on the wrong juice. That is what Satan has done to us humans.”

#321: Lamentation - "They Love Darkness Rather Than Light"

Do we find this observation applicable in 2025?

20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that Satan has great hold upon their hearts; he stirreth them up to iniquity against that which is good;
21 And their hearts are corrupt, and full of wickedness and abominations; and they love darkness rather than light, because their deeds are evil; therefore they will not ask of me.
22 Satan stirreth them up, that he may lead their souls to destruction.
(Doctrine & Covenants | 10:20-22)

#319: Lamentation – “I am Left to Mourn”

7 And now I, Nephi, cannot say more; the Spirit stoppeth mine utterance, and I am left to mourn because of the unbelief, and the wickedness, and the ignorance, and the stiffneckedness of men; for they will not search knowledge, nor understand great knowledge, when it is given unto them in plainness, even as plain as word can be.

(Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 32:7).

#317: Lamentation - Breaking Covenant?

If this was said about God’s people who were chosen to be examples and messengers of His plan of redemption, what do we expect will be the course of most peoples and nations? What do we see all around us? What do we expect will be the consequence?

16 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.
17 Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us?
18 And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods (Old Testament | Deuteronomy 31:16–18).

#316: Lamentation - Wild Grapes

1 NOW will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:
2 And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.
4 What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
(Old Testament | Isaiah 5:1-4; Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 15:1-4)

#285: FTD* - Setting God at Naught?

*Friday's Truth-teller Docket: Where Mayday showcases truth tellers.

Reflection: Circa 580s B.C., in the ancient Americas, a descendant from the Tribe of Manasseh,* made this observation about people and patterns. Are we now repeating the rejection? Is our culture and academia manifesting this?

7 For the things which some men esteem to be of great worth, both to the body and soul, others set at naught and trample under their feet. Yea, even the very God of Israel do men trample under their feet; I say, trample under their feet but I would speak in other words—they set him at naught, and hearken not to the voice of his counsels.**

-----------------------------------------------/
*Book of Mormon | Alma 10:3
   3 And Aminadi was a descendant of Nephi, who was the son of Lehi, who came out of the land of Jerusalem, who was a descendant of Manasseh, who was the son of Joseph who was sold into Egypt by the hands of his brethren.
**Book of Mormon | 1 Nephi 19:7

#284: Mayday Monday: A Mega Dose of Reality

Mayday Monday: Where Mayday exposes the human condition.

For those who want to wake-up to the reality and depth of power obsession, corruption, and abuse, one probably couldn’t get more informed instructors and commentators than Peter Duke and George Webb at The Duke Report: https://thedukereport.com/

Duke’s virtual shelf of books at https://thedukereport.com/books/ should be sufficient witness to the dire state of the world and the precipice that humanity is being pushed over UNLESS we wake-up en masse and refuse to pretend it’s not happening. People! let us open our eyes!
