Revelation given through David Ferriman February 18, 2024.
- Over the past serval years, when pondering the idea of Zion as a city, I have been given visions of a city with lush vegetation, green technology, and a covenant of creation between the people, the Lord, and the earth and its creatures.
- It is a utopia that when outsiders come to destroy it, they throw down their arms and beg to join its covenant peoples.
- Whatever wars and strife, plagues and disasters that happen outside its walls, the people within are blessed by the Lord and one another not to be effected by them.
- In prayer, I asked the Lord how or even if these things can or will come to pass; in response, I was given the following:
- ¶ Behold, my son David; it is to this end that you are called, and that many others have been called also; yet the people have not harkened, for the fear of the adversary is great within them.
- And I have spoken through my prophets and my prophetesses from the beginning of these things, and I shall speak of them again through you this day, for the time is ripe, and the sun is setting.
- ¶ Behold, as I have said before, many are called and few are chosen, and I say unto you this day, that by this shall they who are chosen know of their call:
- All they who shall read these words and feel of my Spirit that calling to which they have been called, gaining a sense of purpose, a yearning to unify in this, the restoration;
- For behold, this is the time of the restoration, and it is a restoration of all things.
- Yea, and some have thought this time of restoration was merely a return to the things of former days, yet were the former days better than these?
- Many of every generation have waisted their probation away seeking for the days of their youth, or longing for a time that was before their time.
- And these acquired not any wisdom in this; no, but they that learn from the past, and seek to build the present and a better future, these are they who I have called and have chosen.
- ¶ Behold, all they that read these, my words, and do hear my voice, and that the Spirit giveth clarity to, that their understanding is opened up, these I have called.
- Yea, and I am thy compass, that thou should be not afraid, nor pulled by the things of this world to the right, nor to the left; and I shall be as your liahona, giving you my wisdom that you shall know.
- And if you should heed that call and reach out to build my kingdom, then you are chosen of me, for thou didst hear my voice and heed it also.
- ¶ And to those who have been called to assist in these, my works, how shall ye know them?
- My works are all that bring glory unto the Father, and to bring glory to the Father and the Mother;
- Therefore, all they that seek to glorify me, and that seek to glorify the Father and the Mother, by this you shall know they have been called.
- Look not to those that seek to glorify themselves, nor they who seek their own safety, for I am thy safety and I am thy peace.
- ¶ Yea, and all they who have been called, you shall know them for they do my works; therefore, they who have been called but do not my works, they have not been chosen:
- For I will lead they who will follow me, and I will lift them up and make their burdens light; therefore, they who do glorify my name, and the name of the Father and of the Mother, and do the works to which they have been called, these have been chosen unto me.
- ¶ And what are my works? My works are that which restoreth all things, even from before the foundation of the world;
- My works are to heal this, the creation, to seek out the lost and the broken and offer them healing, my works are even as I have asked all ye to do in my name: Feed my sheep.
- For I am the good shepherd, I am the lord and the master of the vineyard, and all they that will work in my fields, tending to my sheep and healing my vineyard, these are my servants and my friends.
- ¶ Yea, and in my vineyard and my pasture the plants nor the sheep are not alone, for there also is the soil, and the air, and the insects, and the beasts of the fields and the fruits of the garden, and the weeds;
- And all of these have I put upon the earth for a purpose that is wisdom in me, for thou, O man, are not alone being in this world, nor are thou, mankind, alone in this creation.
- Wherefore did I give Adam and Eve dominion to care for this, my creation; for ye are my creation, and when ye shall care for the earth and my creation, ye are in my service,
- But when thou rejecteth my creation, and seek to force my creation into submission, thou doth reject me an my work, seeking not for my glory, nor for the glory of the Father or for the Mother.
- And I say unto thee, O man: Forget not thy origins; for without me and without this earth, thou shall not survive;
- Therefore, I say unto thee: Seek not to build up for thy own gain, for Zion shall not be there; but seek Zion in thy heart, and ye shall build Zion.
- For Zion is a place of refuge, and thy body is a temple unto me, for there doth the Holy Spirit reside; and if my light, even the light of Christ, cannot pour out from the Mother, through the Son, into you, my creation, then it cannot flow from you to heal this, my creation.
- But behold, if you, my people, will but open your hearts unto me, and let my light shine forth from within you, by your fruits shall I be known;
- For your works will be my works, and my works your works, and we will be One, even as the Father and the Mother, and the Son are one in the Holy Spirit.
- Wherefore, I say into you again, this last time: These are they who have been called and chosen unto me;
- They who seek to glorify my name, and the name of the Father and the Mother, they who would do my works feeding my sheep and caring for my vineyard, and they who seek the unity of the Creator and the creation.
- Seek ye out my people, even Israel, and be Zion, for if thou art a holy place, then the ground on which thou standeth will be holy; and if the ground be holy, then Zion shall dwell therein, and be lifted upon high; so mote it be, amen and amen.
- ¶ With the vision and revelation ending, I was left with one thought: Those that would be Zion will not live in fear, but seek to build others; this is Israel, and this is Zion;
- We are one human race, one human family, and one with all of this creation, and to be Zion we must one with our Creator; amen, and amen.
