In asking the Lord about the tzitits, what are they, should he wear them, David received a revelation that he kept to himself as a personal revelation. A few years later, in March of 2024, in preparing the Doctrines of the Saints, he felt impressed by the Holy Spirit to revisit this revelation. Because he did not write his personal revelation down, he went back to the Lord to re-receive this revelation for the Saints of Zion.
- Question: What are the tzitzits and are we to wear them?
- Answer: In the repetition of the Law (Deuteronomy 23:7-8) my Servant, Moses, spoke unto my Israel, saying:
- Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite, for he is thy brother; thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian because thou wast a stranger in his land; the children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of the Lord in their third generation.
- Now I shall say this unto you, that ye should understand it, the first generation of Israel is the dispensation of Moses, for in them did my people come up out of Egypt;
- The second generation of Israel is the dispensation of John who is the Baptist, for at that time did the Gospel spread forth unto the Gentiles;
- And the third generation of Israel is the dispensation of Joseph Smith Jr. now is the time of the restoration of all things; therefore my Saints in the Latter Days are the third generation.
- And now, behold, I shall speak the repetition of the Law unto thy understanding:
- Thou shall not abhor the world, because thou wast a stranger in their land; thou shall not abhor those of any of the seed of Abraham, for these are thy brothers and sisters; and now, in these the last days, Israel shall be gathered up in me, for this is the third generation.
- And all they that do hear my voice, and that are moved by my Spirit to wear them shall put on the tzitits; and this is not to be seen but that my people shall see, and that those that wear them shall know their kin and where to find safety in my wings, for the tzitzits are my wings.
- Question: Thank you Lord for your wisdom and guidance; what do you mean by stating the tzitzits are your wings and how are we to wear them?
- Answer: In the Torah of Judah, In the Desert (Numbers 15:38-40), I spoke unto Moses, saying:
- Speak unto the children of Israel and bid them that they make them wings in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the wings of the borders a blue cord; and it shall be unto you for a tassel, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the mitzvoth of YHVH, and do them, and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to commit apostasy, that ye may remember the covenant, and do all my mitzvoth, and be holy unto your Elohim.
- The wings are to be worn that thou should see them, and not for mankind; for behold, when I walked the earth, the Pharisees and the scribes did seek to sit in the seat of Moses, wearing long cords for their wings to be seen of men, and for the honor of man.
- This ye shall not do, but when thou should wearest them, thou shalt put them on to be seen by thee and by me, and I shall reveal them unto any that I desire to seek them out;
- Therefore, they should be visible as a sign, for the blue string doth represent the water of my mercy, and my Torah which is written on tablets of sapphire, and my sapphire throne;
- And the wings of them do carry healing and protection in them, for they are of me, and the blue string is a reflection to remind thee.
- Doth not the Torah of Joseph (4 Moses 7:23-26) say: Thou shalt make tzitzits in the four corners of thy garments throughout all your generations, and thou shalt put upon the tzitsit a blue thread; and it shall be unto thee for a protection, that thou shalt look upon it and remember all thy mitzvoth unto me and do them,
- And thou shalt remember that Israel is a holy people, a nation of kings and queens, and of Priests and Priestesses; sanctify yourselves, therefore, and be thou holy; for I am YHVH, thy Elohim; and thou shall keep my statutes and do them; I am YHVH which sanctify thee.
- And thou shalt wear them upon the for corners of thy garment for all of thy days, for am I not King of kings? and are you not my royal priesthood?
- Therefore, wear them not to be seen of mankind, nor out of fear of me, but thou shall wear them as a sign of the covenant, and that thou shall remember that I am the Lord, your God, and you are mine.
- Question: Is everyone required to wear the tzitzits?
- Answer: Behold, thy mitzvoth is written in my Torah, and I did shew unto thee the Torah lived in me, as I walked the earth and taught my people, and did keep all the Torah;
- Therefore, I say unto thee that all that read this should come unto me with a broken heart and contrite spirit, and ask the Father in my name, even as thou did, David, to know my will for themselves.
- For behold, look ye at the churches of man, do they not quote my words, even the scriptures? And do these obey every commandment? I say unto thee: Nay.
- Yet my Grace doth cover them, for the wings of my atonement are wide, and I shall bring thee in, even as a mother hen doth gather her chicks;
- Worry not, therefore, what others do, and seek not to rule over my people with the burdens of the flesh, but teach them to come unto me and to pray to the Father in spirit, that my people should be a prophetic people.
- And behold, this mitzvah was not given as a burden unto my people, but in celebration, and as a reminder not to place one person above another in wealth nor station, but to have all things common;
- For in me, as in Zion, are all things as one, and my people are to have all things in common, even as the Lehites did after I did visit them in the days after my resurrection.
- Wherefore, do this thing in joy and jubilee, and in patience, and in peace; place the blue thread upon thy garments in a way that is pleasing unto thee, and let it blossom, that thou shall remember the covenant between thee and me: Amen.
