Commission to build a city

I dreamt of a person who had received a call from God to build a great city, like unto New York, based upon equitable principles. However, this mission started in a very humble way with a workspace that the character was making, which apparently would lead to the construction of the city. Despite others doubting, the truth was that this small beginning was only possible because of land and resources given by God to this person through a government grant they had (miraculously) won.

In the dream, I was also presented an aerial view of New York and Dubai (as if I was in a room with windows overlooking on both), where I observed how entire city blocks were built at a time in Dubai, unlike New York, which focused painstakingly on upgrading individual buildings. Looking down on Dubai, I noted how despite the land being bulldozed so quickly around the city, there was actually something very special about the land of Dubai which others didn’t recognize. I also considered the morality of charging rent.

Later, I saw vast urban sprawl in India and thought it would all be destroyed.

Discussion

I think this is about the coming of New Jerusalem. Therefore, the comparison of New York to Dubai was to illustrate how this coming city would parallel these two existing cities in greatness, and also to symbolize how this future city could be built very quickly like unto Dubai. Regarding the bulldozed land, I think that represents how Dubai could only be built after leveling much of the preexisting structures – not because the preexisting land was worthless, but because it was worth it to build a great city. Similarly, the New Jerusalem will only be able to come after the preexisting land around it – namely, America – is destroyed; again, not because this land is worthless, but because it is precious.

The part about the workshop symbolized how this process will have an extremely humble start, but that faith should not be lost because even in its humble beginnings it clearly only was/is/will be possible through God.

* For readers unfamiliar, the New Jerusalem is a righteous city prophesied to come during the great tribulation / millennium. I discuss the specifics of these prophecies in The New Jerusalem.

Russians holding Keys

I also dreamt of seeing a map of ethnicity of Russians. I learned that they had received keys, and I was trying to recover these keys.

Discussion

I have had a few dreams now about how the Russians are special to God. I am not a Russian, but I think it likely that the Russia contains some of the lost tribes. Hence, I think the keys held by the Russians partly symbolizes their special place with God, and my gathering the keys represented gathering them to the church.

To venture into conjecture, I think there is a complex relationship between how genetics helps people gain greater access to God, but also how God sometimes changes the genes of people who are His people. This may relate to the “keys” that (some of) the Russians hold.

China

I dreamt that the Chinese word for God is sounded very similar to the word “Godhead”, but this was true only anciently, and I imagined here that Chinese people once were white.

Later, I dreamt of seeing ancient Chinese tombs and learning that they had special shamans who communed with Christ; the Chinese also had a special name for Christ.

I dreamt of seeing a grey matrix of information. One thing I remember from the matrix was that it connected the ancient Chinese shamans to the Lamanites – I think literally meaning that some of Chinese are descended from Lamanites. The matrix also again described how the ancient Chinese word for God was similar to Godhead.

I also dreamt of scriptures and scripture references about the Lamanites, and this related to a conflict.

As I woke up, I felt that I received the word:
It was a divine gift that these people and their sons and daughters were received in glory into God’s divine paradise.

While recording the word, I thought that “these people” referred to the Chinese.

Teleportation

In the matrix of information, I also learned how teleportation only works in certain places. This confirms what I learned of teleportation in Replacing People.

Caucasus

In the night, I had one dream where I saw that the church had changed the location of Christ’s birth to the Caucasus.

In another dream, I saw a map which had the location of Christ’s birth, which appeared to be along the line where the distance between the Black Sea and Caspian Sea is smallest.

Demonic Astral Projections

As I tried to sleep, I was pulled involuntarily into several astral projections. During the final one, I used my mental voice to rebuke in the name of Jesus Christ the demonic spirits involved in this, and somehow I sensed that the words forcefully pushed these spirits back through the walls out of my room. I think in my rebuke I added something akin to “inflicting harm/punishment” on the demons, but I forget the exact wording.

It would have been interesting if I also declared “reveal yourself”, as Get Up N Glow did for a similar demonic attack, to which these alien looking entities appeared in her astral projection (see her video Spiritual Warfare Attacks, Psalm 37, Rev. 19, Dreams Of Trees).

Prophecy of the treading down of the Gentiles

If you have read the Book of Mormon, you probably have noticed the repeated prophecy about how, after the Gentiles take over America from the Lamanites (who are of the tribe of Joseph), one day a remnant of the House of Israel will return in the glory of God and tread down the unbelieving Gentiles. And similarly, in Doctrine and Covenants 49:24-25, we learn that one day the Lamanites will blossom as a rose.

A natural interpretation is to think that this is talking about a mighty group of native Americans in Latin America taking over the USA. But this seems wrong to me, because Latin Americans don’t seem to follow the gospel any better than Americans do, and they seem to create more violent societies.

Therefore, it makes sense to me that the blessed Lamanites who will come could instead be scattered amongst the Chinese, as is implied in my dreams. After all, Chinese people are much more peaceful than Latin Americans. And, as I will discuss further down in this essay, Chinese Christians have been very valiant in the faith, despite government persecution.

Regarding the “treading down” element of the scriptures, it is my personal opinion that this will not be done by the Chinese or the Latin Americans, but rather by the Russians. You see, the scriptures which discuss the remnant of the House of Israel treading down upon the gentiles never specifically say that these are Lamanites, but just generally say that these mighty warriors are a remnant of the House of Israel. Since I believe that many Russians are amongst the lost tribes, and also that Russia will one day invade the western USA, it makes sense to me that these prophecies will start to be fulfilled as Russia takes possession of parts of America (and when the New Jerusalem is established on the American continent, these prophecies will fully be fulfilled).

However, the Chinese will still have a role to play: I believe that (some) Christians from China will flee to Russia because of religious persecution. Therefore, it’s possible to think that the remnant of the Lamanites amongst the Chinese will flee to Russia, and then after Russia invades the USA, will go to the USA. This view in part comes from a dream where a Chinese person tries to flee to Russia due government persecution of Christians in China, which I record in 3DOD; Judgement & Persecution; New Jerusalem; Calling, Ministry, & Rejection of 144,000.

Scriptures Substantiating This

Here are Book of Mormon scriptures prophesying of the House of Israel one day treading upon the gentiles.

3 Nephi 16:6-15 – This is the main scripture. It explains how the Gentiles will first become a great nation due to their faith and take over (north) America from its previous inhabitants, who were of the house of Israel. However, if the Gentiles then sin against the gospel and become turned towards vanity and secret works of darkness, then God will allow a remnant of the House of Israel to tread down upon the Gentiles.

D&C 49:24-25
24 But before the great day of the Lord shall come, Jacob shall flourish in the wilderness, and the Lamanites shall blossom as the rose.
25 Zion shall flourish upon the hills and rejoice upon the mountains, and shall be assembled together unto the place which I have appointed.

3 Nephi 20:16 – a remnant of the house of Jacob will tread down the Gentiles, if they do not repent.

3 Nephi 21:12 – those who do not believe in the words of Christ will be cut off from the gospel covenant and will be tread upon by a remnant of Jacob.

Ether 13:6–8 – The New Jerusalem will be built upon the American continent unto the remnant of the seed of Joseph.

Mormon 5:19–24
19 And behold, the Lord hath reserved their blessings, which they might have received in the land, for the Gentiles who shall possess the land.
20 But behold, it shall come to pass that they shall be driven and scattered by the Gentiles; and after they have been driven and scattered by the Gentiles, behold, then will the Lord remember the covenant which he made unto Abraham and unto all the house of Israel.
24 Therefore, repent ye, and humble yourselves before him, lest he shall come out in justice against you—lest a remnant of the seed of Jacob shall go forth among you as a lion, and tear you in pieces, and there is none to deliver.

Flood Stories and China

As shown in Statistical Analysis of 368 Accounts of the Flood Proves both the Book of Mormon and the Bible are True, the flood myths of natives of East Asia were significantly closer to the Bible on average than in Australasia and Africa and the Amazon. This partly substantiates the idea that the seed of the Lamanites could be in East Asia over places like the Amazon rainforest.

In that research, I hint that the reason why Australasians, Africans, and Amazonians have such dissimilar flood stories to the bible, relative to the rest of the world, is because they actually did not descend from Noah, instead surviving by other methods (for example, many of their accounts record that there indeed was a great flood, but they survived in caves). Well, these two studies seem to further back this up:

Both studies show how native Americans from South America have a unique genetic signature linking them to Australasians – thus corroborating the theory that there are two different bloodlines of people: those who descend from Noah, and then everyone else.

It’s also worth noting that the blood types of natives from south America appear much different from north America – thus further implying that many of the South Americans may descend from a different group of people than the Nephites and Lamanites, who lived in North America (source of picture, see also The Actual Location of the Nephites):

Christianity in China

Here is an article from the foundation for the defense of democracies (source):

The latest wave of religious repression in China represents the most aggressive internal clampdowns in years. Catholic bishops appointed by the Vatican have been disappeared, despite a deal allegedly giving the Vatican input in proposing Chinese bishops. Protestant house churches face constant surveillance and sweeping raids. New religious regulations give Chinese police increased power to monitor speech, belief, and religious thought. These moves are not isolated, they reflect Xi Jinping’s drive to “Sinicize” Christianity – to require Chinese Christians to support and spread the ideology of the Chinese Communist Party.

Growing Christian Population

…By 2010, an estimated 45 to 60 million Protestants worshipped in house churches, compared to 18 to 30 million in state-approved institutions.

[At the present] China has a registered Christian population of 44 million, but estimates of the true figure run as high as 160 million — a gap driven by the difficulty of counting members of underground “house churches.” Some estimates place the number of unregistered Christians as high as 115 million, positioning China to have the world’s largest Christian population by 2030 should it continue to grow rapidly.

To insert commentary, this represents an immense growth in population, seeing that it is said that there were only four million Christians in China in 1949 (wikipedia).

Chinese Domestic Bible Supply

…China also prints roughly 75 percent of the world’s Christian bibles. The Amity Printing Company in Nanjing, the world’s largest Bible manufacturer, has printed nearly 300 million bibles since 1987. Domestic demand remains high with approximately 50 percent of these printed bibles distributed within China.

Government Supervision of Religion, including Bible Translation

…Under the plan, Christian churches and clergy must adhere to China’s “core socialist values” and support Party authority. In practice, this has involved government supervision of Bible translations, censorship of sermons, and the inclusion of “Xi Jinping Thought” in seminary curricula. Churches are required to display national flags and portraits of Xi, replace traditional hymns with patriotic songs, and preach obedience to the socialist order.

Xi has tightened restrictions on all religions.

[President XI apparently rolled back some regulations which promoted religious freedom, this included:] restricting foreign funding, requiring clergy to register with the government, and banning minors from religious activities, even church attendance.

CCP Powers to Appoint Bishops

China and the Vatican reached an agreement in 2018 aimed at resolving a decades-long dispute over episcopal appointments. Previously, bishops appointed by the Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association without Vatican approval were seen as illegitimate by many underground Catholics, creating a deep rift between state-sanctioned and unregistered churches.

While the exact terms of the deal have not been made public, the effects have been visible. The Pope agreed to recognize several bishops previously appointed by Beijing, while future appointments would allegedly be made jointly, with the Pope retaining final veto powers. Some Catholic house church attendees and pastors were reportedly angered by a deal they believed damaged their ability to independently practice Catholicism. Yet, despite the Vatican endorsing and renewing the deal multiple times, Beijing has not allowed the appointment or ordination of any new bishops under the agreement. Further, the CCP has pressured around 30 house church bishops to renounce Vatican authority and disappeared or forced out at least 10 Vatican-approved bishops.

The CCP used the COVID-19 pandemic to further repress religion.

According to the State Department, China used its ‘zero-COVID’ policy, introduced in January 2020, as a pretext to intensify its repression of religion. Officials shut down religious venues nationwide, including many state-sanctioned churches, and censored online posts referencing Jesus or the Bible. At the same time, the government removed more than 900 crosses in about 250 state-run churches, though that campaign began before the pandemic.

Between 2020 and 2023, Xi amended the RRA three times. The 2021 Measures for Religious Clergy imposed loyalty tests and a national registration system for clergy. The 2021 Internet Religious Information Services Measures banned unlicensed online preaching and required a provincial license to post religious content. Even after China lifted its ‘zero-COVID’ restrictions in December 2022, the 2023 Measures for Religious Activity Venues further tightened venue approvals and increased propaganda requirements in religious teaching.

To add a bit more clarity beyond this article:

House churches are simply banned in China. They still exist, but they are banned (see the Wikipedia article).

As such, if you search online for Chinese house churches, there are many different stories of extensive government raids against them (such as China: New Arrests at Underground Protestant Churches or Underground church says leaders detained as China steps up crackdown).

Discussion

The growth of the Christian population in China is incredible, especially given the government oppression of Christians. Honestly, it puts us westerners to shame – especially when you consider the fact that most Christians in America are actually part of the Laodicean church, since they don’t believe we need to follow the commandments (see Hyper-Grace is Wrong and Following the Commandments / Works Matter).

Miao People of China

One of the ethnic groups in China which has caught my eye as particularly likely to be descendants from the Lamanites are the Miao. Here is a quote from The Mysterious Origins of the Miao about this group:

In 1924, F. M. Savina of the Paris Foreign Missionary Society published a book in which he claimed the Miao were of Caucasian origin. Savina wrote, “In appearance the Miao are pale yellow in complexion, almost white, their hair is often light or dark brown, sometimes even red or corn-silk blond, and a few even have pale blue eyes.”

For many centuries the Chinese living in the Miao regions called themselves Li-min, which is generally translated ‘black-haired people’. One historian has asked, “Why, then, did they designate themselves the Black or Dark people? Did they at one time live in the neighborhood of people who were fair-haired and of lighter complexion than themselves?”

During intense periods of Chinese persecution, many Miao were killed because they were easy to single out. An 80-year-old Miao man in Laos, Cher Sue Vue, remembered his childhood when the Chinese crossed into Laos searching for white babies. He said, “At that time there was only one white baby in our village. The infant’s parents were warned before the Chinese arrived, and they carried him into the forest where they hid.”

Speculation about the origins of the Miao has led some to claim that the ancestors of the Miao first lived in Persia or Babylon before migrating into Siberia. After staying there for a time, the Miao moved again, passing through Mongolia and entering north China.

Chinese histories confirm that the Miao once lived in north and central China before they were pushed south. For centuries the Miao have passed down oral histories from one generation to the next. One of their legends tells of a homeland where “days and nights lasted six months, the water was frozen, and snow hid the ground. Only a few trees grew and they were small. The people, too, were short and squat, clothed in furs.”

…

Early anthropologists were astounded when they first recorded Miao creation legends among communities that had been driven out of Jiangxi Province. One account closely mirrored the biblical record of creation, the fall of man, and the other key events from the Book of Genesis. This convinced some scholars that the Miao have managed to preserve the story of their origins with remarkable accuracy over thousands of years, although the account of the flood varies from tribe to tribe.

Some of the more interesting parts of the ancient Miao creation story are included here, as translated by Edgar Truax of the Institute for Creation Research:

The Creation

On the day God created the heavens and earth. On that day He opened the gateway of light. In the earth then He made heaps of earth and of stone. In the sky He made bodies, the sun and the moon.In the earth He created the hawk and the kite. In the water created the lobster and fish. In the wilderness made He the tiger and bear, Made verdure to cover the mountains, Made forest extend with the ranges, Made the light green cane, Made the rank bamboo.

Man

On the earth He created a man from the dirt. Of the man thus created, a woman He formed…. So the earth began filling with tribes and with families. Creation was shared by the clans and the peoples.

The World Wicked

These did not God’s will nor returned His affection….Their leaders shook fists in the face of the Mighty. Then the earth was convulsed to the depth of three strata. Rending the air to the uttermost heaven. God’s anger arose till His Being was changed; His wrath flaring up filled His eyes and His face. Until He must come and demolish humanity. Come and destroy a whole world full of people.

The Flood

So it poured 40 days in sheets and in torrents. Then 55 days of misting and drizzle. The waters surmounted the mountains and ranges. The deluge ascending leapt valley and hollow. An earth with no earth upon which to take refuge! A world with no foothold where one might subsist! The people were baffled, impotent and ruined, Despairing, horror stricken, diminished and finished.

But the Patriarch Nuah was righteous. The Matriarch Gaw Bo-lu-en upright. Built a boat very wide. Made a ship very vast. Their household entire got aboard and were floated, The family complete rode the deluge in safety. The animals with him were female and male. The birds went along and were mated in pairs….

Babel

Their descendants established encampments and cities. Their singing was all with the same tunes and music; Their speaking was all with the same words and language. Then they said let us build us a very big city; Let us raise unto heaven a very high tower. This was wrong, but they reached this decision; Not right, but they rashly persisted.

God struck at them then, changed their language and accent. Descending in wrath, He confused tones and voices. One’s speech to the others who hear him has no meaning; He’s speaking in words, but they can’t understand him. So the city they built was never completed; The tower they wrought has to stand thus unfinished. In despair then they separate under all heaven, They part from each other the globe to encircle. They arrive at six corners and speak the six languages.

Discussion

The part that especially strikes me here is how the Miao are said to have lived among a people who were more white than they were according to their language, which of course is nonsensical because they apparently are more white than native Chinese. This strongly parallels the account of the Lamanites – which is that they were not white, and their enemies, the Nephites, were white. Overall, I theorize that the Miao represent a sort of reverse-bearing straight migration, where instead the Lamanites used the arctic region to cross into Asia. And assuming this theory is right, I credit God for my happenstance in stumbling upon this small ethnic group.

It’s also worth noting that the authors of the text speculate that the Miao actually descend through Japheth and not Abraham – thus placing them in a different lineage from the Nephites and Lamanites. I guess I simply don’t believe in this, and am cynical about Bible scholars: I think these scholars are afraid of being rejected by their peers if they dare say that the Miao are amongst the lost tribes of Israel – because that sounds like too fantastical of a claim to make – so deliberately walk back their claims by claiming that the Miao were descended from another biblical line outside of Abraham. In other words, discussion of “Lost Tribes” sounds unprofessional and would be damaging to an academic’s career, but if you adulterate the theory by specifying a different lineage, then it sounds more like historical conjecture rather than conspiracy theories, thus making the theory more tactful. Please, Lord, help me to not do things like this myself, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Chinese Characters come from the Bible

It also appears that the inventor of the original Chinese characters believed in the Genesis account, as discussed in the book God’s Promise to the Chinese by Ethel R. Nelson and Richard E. Broadberry. Here is the amazon description of the book:

Richard Broaberry has spent nearly 30 years studying the ancient Chinese characters with Dr. Nelson. In this book they share with the reader The name ShangDi literally means the “God above,” or the Most High God. From the beginning of their history, the ancient Chinese worshiped ShangDi as the Creator. The Border For more than 4,000 years the Chinese emperors annually sacrificed a bull to ShangDi. This ceremony pointed to a coming Savior.Oracle Bone the authors show that the inventor of the original Chinese characters, inscribed on tortoise shells and bones, knew and believed in an identical account of creation and earth’s beginnings as found in the Hebrew sacred Scripture.

Hopefully, I will one day read this book, but for now I all I have read is the book review, Chinese Characters and Genesis. Most interestingly, the article provides seven illustrations of how Chiense characters indeed have a construction which reflects the genesis account, which they claim are only a sample from the hundreds of characters discussed in the book. Here are the illustrations:
