(Palos Verdes Stake of Zion)
We’ve had some amazing rain; and an amazing stake conference. Rynna is in good voice.
CURRENT
POLITICS TO DO WITH USA/ISRAEL/GOSPEL
A good start for the Trump
administration. Sean Spicer was
refreshing in the briefing.
J.Post:
Will American Jews wake up after 28 bomb threats in the United
States? You have to pay attention. It is their new tactic to just phone in a
bomb threat—one could become real.
Montana ski resorts were threatened; northern London also. Bricks with horrible notes. It reminds us of Nazi Germany. Speak out against intimidation. London has a large Muslim community. Look at the power of a female voice on the
phone, or a note on a brick.
Prophesy tells us the Jews will be hated
and hunted as a lion hunts prey. We’ve lived it and see it now. The other horrifying thing: there were 194 anti-Semitic and a year later
416. Twitter saw 40million tweets like
this. [Jihadist supporters] have felt a
‘safe zone’ in USA.
Jared Kushner is Donald Trump’s
right-hand-man and is an Orthodox Jew.
His younger brother was seen at the million woman’s march, an
interesting twist. Trump invites
Netanyahu to come to the White House in February. PM Teresa May shakes it up in
UK; Angela Merkel in Germany; and a woman Le Pen runs in France. Women are rising in leadership. Trump will face women.
Ivanka Trump converted, which is very
difficult to do. They do a lot on the
Sabbath.
Netanyahu talked to Trump and then went
to see and attend the Shabbat/mourning of the Rabbi’s mother. “Israel’s future is in the hands of Heaven.” (1) Danger from Iran; (2) Appeared at UN. He said he had as much support at the UN as
within Israel.
The Trump Adm is in the beginning stages
of moving the US Embassy into Jerusalem, but there are so many proponents of
Jordan coming it, it could delay. Trump
was emphatic before. All the other nations have their embassies in the capitol of
Tel Aviv, and moving ours will change the capitol of Israel to Jerusalem. Safety of the people is a concern.
Fred Hansen drove Donald Trump on a golf
cart in PV and said to Trump, “It’s going well for you” to which he replied, “Make sure you help the
women to follow.” Franklin Graham noted
that God sends the rain to show his blessing at the Inauguration.
THEOLOGY
STUDY
We are at the very end of Jesus raising
three from the dead. [handout.]
Jarius’s little daughter died in her
room, for just a few hours. The son of
the widow of Nain had been dead for only a day. Lazarus had been dead for four days. [Review of stages]
They carried the widow’s son feet-first, which was their tradition. He was prepared for burial and wrapped with
face covered. Jesus said the young girl,
‘slept’, and asked for anonymity.
[[For later.]] [Handout
Jan.24th] “Miracles of Jesus
… Raising the Dead” [[For later.]]
[Handout for Lesson 3 — Jan.24th] “Jewish burial customs at the time of Christ”
Lazarus had been dead for four days, decomposing. Body turns green, purple, then black, with
stench. This is normal. Hence, the body could
be embalmed, which the Jewish people don’t do.
Egyptians remove organs and pump fluid into the remaining shell. Then
organs are buried with the body. [In the Book of Mormon, the queen said, “Some
say he [the King] stinketh, but to me he
does not stink.”]
There are ancient rabbinical writings saying that the spirit lingers
with the body for three days (maximum) and ascends after seeing where the body
is laid.
Why do you think Jesus let Lazarus lay dead for four days? So the people would know he was dead, dead,
dead. Death was a big deal in ancient Israel,
even though we live to die and live again. Don’t be afraid of death and have greater
faith in Heavenly Father’s Plan of Salvation.
((Reading: Energy can only be
converted from one form to another, none is destroyed. Matter breaks down but is never
destroyed. Our physical bodies all
return to Mother Earth, dust to dust.))
What Jesus did was restore the structure of cells. See D.C. 131. [All spirit is matter, not seen by human
eyes, usually.] Your body just settles
down. Isn’t that a beautiful
thought? The Creator put the fundamental
laws in place. God loves you. The renewal of all the cells is the
Resurrection provided by the Savior. He
has that power.
Jesus raising of Lazarus was amazing!
What about his burial clothes? Let’s
look at burial customs.
[Handout for Lesson 3 — Jan.24th] “Jewish burial customs at the time of Christ”
We’ll discuss which burial customs exist even to this day, with the
Jewish people.
(1) The dead had a right to ceremonial care. Today, the body is never left alone reading
Psalms.
(2) Rending the Garments. Today,
they rent their garments over the heart.
(3) Lighting Candles; Continuous Attendant. Light can be beautiful. Holy Societies are called in 24/7.
(4) Must be buried the same day. Total mourning, not even answering greetings
in the street.
(5) Mourners and Pipers. Active
Jews reaffirm their Faith so they don’t curse God in bitterness.
(6) Charitable Societies Help.
The body is bathed and wrapped in holy cloth.
(7) Tombs, Coffins, Ossuaries, Burial Places. A simple pine box, among other Jews.
A lot more was covered by teacher Rynna and it is best for you to attend
for full information/insights.
When the Israelites crossed the Red Sea out of Egypt, they took Joseph’s
bones.
QUESTION: Do these procedures
have anything to do with the resurrection and the soul?
ANS: Yes, we love these
tabernacles even though they get sick, they are our temples.
They are what we inherit for Eternity.
When Jesus raised the three, diseases were gone.
We watched the LDS video [Lazarus walks:
John 11:1-4] Know what you know
to watch. Prayer.

notes. Lynnette and Charles.Edwin.Shipp@gMail.com
