Background Rant
Recently, I have learned the life story of Nathan Reynolds, which I think is pretty interesting. He claims to be born into an intergenerational Luciferian family. Basically, since being a small child, he was frequently sexually abused and tortured to cause personality fragmentation. Thus, certain personalities of his were normal Christians, but others were sort of Luciferian, and others were slaves, totally brainwashed and hypnotized by his family – and his family could switch personalities with key words and various sensations. This story echoes that of Mormon Monarch, and I feel like both accounts are true. Nathan Reynolds also gives a lot of insight into the occult, basically claiming that all the legends are true: people can transform into non-human entities (like werewolves) through exceedingly creepy demonic rituals (though this is more like when you get demonically possessed your physical appearance changes); there really are monsters underground (like dragons) who cannot come to the surface, so Luciferian people go into caves and tunnels to commune with these beasts; Luciferian people have infiltrated many parts of the government; government entities have advanced technologies; Cryptids are real; certain rituals or ancestry allow persons to metabolize blood and become vampires; extensive pedophile networks do creepy rituals and are given a blind eye by the government; Satan rewards followers with wealth; witches have real powers (such as astral projection); etc. the rabbit hole is deep.
All of these things fall under the realm of “esoteric” – “exoteric” knowledge is understood by the public, while “esoteric” knowledge is only understood by a few, and as such it is very difficult for a layperson to gain access or confidence in such knowledge. Of course, many (normies) don’t believe “esoteric” knowledge exists – which seems naïve/foolish to me. But also, there are problems with overly focusing on this sort of content, which I will discuss.
Learning about Nathan Reynolds lead me to learn about two very large YouTube channels who interview people about Christian conspiracy topics: The Confessionals and The Deep End w/Taylor Welch. People involved in these channels have a strong belief that Satan is working across the world in high places – rewarding and even giving supernatural information to those who complete his bidding and perform creepy rituals. Though these ideas I think are true: the problem with overly focusing on them is it distracts us from God. When we see the devil everywhere, but hardly stop to think about God, then perhaps to some extent we are worshipping Satan more than God. How many people spend significant amounts of time researching such conspiracies, but never open up the Bible (I know I was like this for much of my life)? [Of course, it still is important to have a basic knowledge of Satan to be able to combat him (Ephesians 5:11–13, Ephesians 6:12), but this should be balanced out with an increased devotion to God.]
This problem culminates in overzealous people who are never willing to accept that God sends revelations to people, so accuse everyone who claims to have received dreams from God of actually being influenced by Satan (as did the pharisees to Jesus – Mark 3:22–30 & other gospels). But surely God is working across the world just as much as Satan, right? And pride leads people to think that if God isn’t sending themselves personally revelations than God isn’t sending anyone revelations (or he might, but only to people in authority). Such people tend to rebuke those who they disagree with in the name of Jesus, instead of engaging in a rational conversation – again pride leads you to think your enemies are demon influenced and therefore not worth talking to. But of course, everyone is a child of God and worth trying to bring back to the fold, even the Luciferians. (And yes, there are occasions to rebuke things in the name of Christ – but such rebukes should be done in soberness, not crazy yelling [D&C 50:31–33], and only be resorted to after peaceable discourse has been exhausted.)
Interestingly, a lot of these people still seem to be willing to accept that God sends people messages during near death experiences. I guess it makes sense – saying you nearly died is provable, and since it is an exotic situation it seems more realistic that supernatural occurrences could happen there. But, in my view, a lot of such experiences end up being demonic – I keep seeing headlines like: “good Christian dies and goes to hell, discovers only 1% of Christians go to heaven” and stuff like that. This seems like a ploy of the enemy to get Christians to think they are condemned and so give up, or to get them to deny the mercy of God and eventually hate God, or to subvert Christian doctrines so that agnostics see our faith as exceedingly cruel rather than merciful (and if such messages really are so important, why are there not scriptures about them?).
I think it’s more realistic that God would give a few people many revelations, than many people singular grand revelations (like near death experiences). This is because when there is only a single revelation, there really isn’t enough content for the listener to be able to determine if the revelation aligns with scriptures and is from God or not. But this is not to say I don’t believe in near death experiences – I do think some are from God – I just think they shouldn’t be our only source of modern revelation. And, similarly, any people on YouTube saying “if you are watching this, God is telling you that tomorrow is your breakthrough” to me seem like soothsayers telling people what they want to hear and therefore should not be trusted. But ultimately, the spirit of God is the highest judge of truth (see my Light of Christ section at the end of Uncovering Deceptions).
The Dream
Sadly, when I woke up from this dream, I was convinced it was not special, so I did not write it down. This is the part I remember from a day later, but there was a lot more to it that is now just lost.
I was at my childhood Church building in Austin. Supposedly, the government had convened this jury inside the building, so I was asked to participate, along with a group of fellow young adult Mormons of all different ethnicities. However, we ended up not doing any jury related duties. Instead, we just sat in a circle listening to an authoritative academic looking man. Said man, quite simply, spoke blasphemies. He made fun of religion, talking about how stupid religious people were, he discussed evolution, global warming, some leftist stuff, and he swore.
Therefore, when there was a break, I told everyone in the room that I was going to say something crazy. When the meeting reconvened, and the man continued expounding his false doctrines, I planned on grandstanding him. Thus, I started waiting for him to swear once more so I could tell him to stop swearing in the Church building we owned and had attended for years; but since for a space he didn’t swear, I instead grandstanded him on teaching disrespectful doctrines in our own Church. Thus, I raised my hand and basically told him exactly that: how dare you come into our own Church building and start preaching deeply disrespectful and hurtful doctrines here. I was very nervous when I made this statement – over my life especially during my mission I have frequently attacked authorities vastly my superior in public and have learned by sad experience that it usually does not go well. For some reason, I emphasized that I wasn’t just part of this Church but had attended this specific building for twenty years (when the number in reality is about 10 years), and the man seemed to know my number was false but didn’t make a big deal about it.
Before the man had a chance to respond, almost everyone sitting in the circle to my left raised their hands to speak as well (there were say 25 of us sitting in the circle), and they started to give their thoughts in response to my bold statement going clockwise from me. It was like everyone was afraid of challenging the man until I broke the taboo and then they all wanted to speak. Some people there agreed with me (though not as many as hoped), some commented on things that didn’t seem relevant or important, and one young man who looked like he was from Korea sided with the blasphemous speaking authority figure saying he hadn’t said anything wrong. The academic authority figure (who was way older than all of us, perhaps in his 40s) also spoke, I don’t remember what he actually said, only that he swore at me. I then spoke again, rebuking him for swearing in our holy house of worship.
The scene shifted and I was still in the Church building but was being shown (by who I don’t know) graphs about satanism in our Church. They looked sort of like the graphics seen here labelled “Belief in God for current and former Latter-day Saints”, except the fields instead showed worship of God, worship of Satan, and a few other categories; moreover the graph was instead horizontal, showing many different groups of people on it (though it was focused on Mormons). From the graph I could see that worship of Satan was increasing in the younger generations, and that in my generation, worship of Satan was equal to if not slightly exceeding worship of God.
I fast-forwarded to waking up lying down on the grass in the Church parking lot. I was naked, and everyone had left except for me. My parents were supposed to pick me up, but they weren’t there. Instead, the bishop pulled up in a sedan and picked me up to take me home; for some reason I was not embarrassed about being naked at all. I told him what I had done – saying that I hadn’t lost my temper but had planned my attack and was calculated, and he seemed to approve, though he was reticent (perhaps he wished I had attacked in a different way?). He also commented that I was naked and handed me a white towel.
Interpretation
So, I thought this dream was not prophetic because A) I was naked in the end, and B) it mentioned Satanism and I thought it was my subconscious since I had recently seen YouTube videos about Satanism from Nathan Reynolds as described in the intro. But upon reflection, there is a lot of symbolism worth noting.
The authoritative academic man obviously represents the Antichrist (who similarly speaks great blasphemies – Revelation 13:5–6, Daniel 7:25 , Daniel 11:36, 2 Thessalonians 2:3–4). The dream seems to represent how the teachings of the antichrist will be thrust upon us inside our own Church buildings (similar to mormon church deceived, mob).
The part where the bishop picked me up I think represents the rapture. The part where I was given a white towel represents how the bride of Christ – the Saints – will be given white clothing (Revelation 19:7–8, Revelation 6:11), which reminds me of this dream from pursuing Jesus with Christy (Rapture and Heaven Testimony// Urgent Warning// Jesus Took me to Heaven// Jesus is Coming Back Soon) – in which she was picked up in a chariot and taken to heaven naked, where she received white clothing.
And of course, this dream is somewhat critical of the Mormon Church – since A) it accused members of being Satanic, B) our meeting with the antichrist was in the church building! C) some members in it agreed with the Antichrist, D) when I was picked up, it was only me, nobody else. Also, it’s worth noting how the Antichrist presented – Academic and authoritative, yet also profane.
