1 End Times By Lee Lowther, Sr. Counselor, the World School of the Prophets Many people agree that the end times are fast approaching, but have no idea how to prepare themselves, to avoid death and destruction in the imminent great tribulation. The adversary has lulled millions upon millions of people into false security, believing that they will be raptured into heaven, before the great tribulation, and that Jesus Christ will come to get them, and take them to heaven, where they will live forever, and not be on the earth during the great 7 year tribulation. Jesus Christ taught in Matthew 24:29-31: Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Jesus Christ knows more than anyone else on this earth about what the future holds for all of us. He makes it crystal clear in Matthew 24:29-31 quoted above that immediately after the tribulation of those days, shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven, and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Anyone familiar with the scriptures knows that the Son of Man is Jesus Christ. As we can see, Jesus Christ will not come until immediately after the great tribulation, and those that are left alive, which will only be the meek and pure in heart, after the great tribulation is over, shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven. All of the millions upon millions of people who believe that Jesus Christ will come to this earth before the great tribulations and rapture them into heaven are grossly deceived, and will suffer the consequences of being right here on earth during the 7 years of the great tribulations. In fact there is no such word as rapture in the New or Old Testaments, or in any biblical concourses. This word rapture was originated by the adversary to lead astray millions upon millions of people to their utter destruction, while waiting around for Jesus Christ to come before the great tribulation and take them to heaven. What a sad commentary indeed. These deceived people are doing absolutely nothing to prepare themselves to be protected during the great tribulation, and are leaving everything for Jesus Christ to do. It is also crystal clear in the aforesaid quoted scripture that Jesus Christ will send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and shall gather his elect from the four winds. Consider this question very carefully, why would Christ send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet to gather his elect people from the four winds, if his elect people were already in heaven? The Bible teaches that the meek shall inherit the earth, and only the pure in heart shall see God. The seven year tribulation will destroy all the people who are not meek or pure in heart. They will not be on the earth after the tribulations when Jesus Christ comes. The only people left alive on this earth will be the meek and pure in heart, which will be few. Instead of being raptured into heaven with Christ those people who are not meek or pure in heart will all be dead when Christ comes, or will die at His coming, because they will be unable to bear His presence. Anyone who is familiar with the scriptures knows full well that Christ will not be in heaven during his 1,000 year Millennial reign, but on this earth, with his meek elect, and pure in heart people. This earth will be cleansed by fire and will be a heaven for 1,000 years for the elect who are the meek and pure in heart. Our Father in heaven sent His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ to this earth and delegated to Him full authority to administer all of our Father in Heaven's affairs. Jesus Christ had the Priesthood of God to call and ordain a Quorum of Twelve Apostles whom He ordained and established upon their shoulders his true church. The Quorum of 1

2 Twelve Apostles was the foundation of Jesus Christ s true church, and the light of His Gospel. When Jesus Christ was crucified and His holy Apostles were killed, it left the world in darkness and confusion. Because of the rebelliousness of the people, our Father in Heaven chose not to renew the Apostles again. There was left after his crucifixion and the killing of the Twelve Apostles only fragments of the true church-- and the scripture that was left contained many interpolations and omissions. The scriptures were translated from the original tongue by men inspired only of their own learning, and who were appointed of men-- for God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ would not raise up God s translators with the danger of them being killed as His holy Apostles were slain. Thus the plainness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ was taken away. For over seventeen hundred years the heavens were sealed while men struggled without God s Apostles, Prophets and Translators. They organized this religion and that religion based on their own wisdom without revelations from heaven. Finally on September 21, 1823 the Lord sent an Angel to a young man named Joseph Smith, which heralded in the breaking of the long silence from heaven. Shortly thereafter God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ visited the young man Joseph Smith. On May 15, 1829 John the Baptist, a resurrected being, visited and conferred the Aaronic Priesthood upon Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery to baptize each other. For the first time in over seventeen hundred years God s true authority to baptize was given to earthly mortals. By revelation, sometime after this, the Melchizedek Priesthood was restored, providing the authority and keys to restore Christ s church. Then on April 6 th, (which is Christ s birthday) in the year of 1830 the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was restored, with eventually the offices of Apostles, High Priests, Seventy, Elder, Priest, Teacher, and Deacon-- the same way it was organized during Jesus Christ s ministry. In June of 1830, Peter James and John visited Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery and ordained them Apostles; and now the office of the holy Apostleship again was upon earthly mortals. To complete the Quorum of Twelve Apostles, Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery ordained ten other Apostles. Later, Zion was again restored upon its four cornerstones of the School of the Prophets, which is the educational cornerstone of Zion; the Kingdom of God, which is the political cornerstone of Zion; the everlasting United Order, which is the Economic Cornerstone of Zion; and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which was the Missionary cornerstone of Zion. However, these four cornerstones only functioned for a short period of time. During His ministry in Jerusalem Jesus Christ organized the School of the Prophets, the United Order and the Church, but did not organize the Kingdom. Had he organized the Kingdom, a political organization, he probably would have been killed much sooner than he was. The Kingdom being a political organization would not have set well with the Romans, who held the Jews in bondage at that time. The Lord s prayer states, Thy Kingdom come. Jesus knew the time was not right for the Kingdom to be organized, as it would have brought more persecution upon the church, United Order and the School of the Prophets. The prophet Enoch organized Zion four-square, and all four cornerstones functioned so perfectly, the entire city of Enoch was taken up to heaven. This city of Enoch will descend to the earth when the earth is cleansed of its filth. Shortly after the martyrdom of the prophet Joseph Smith, Zion began to fall apart. The School of the Prophets, the United Order and the Kingdom of God were done away, leaving only the church, which is only a missionary organization. A building built on four cornerstones will collapse if you remove three of its cornerstones. That is exactly what happened to the Zion the prophet Joseph Smith organized. Then the Mormon Apostles, whose sole authority is to do missionary work, usurped authority that was not theirs. 2

3 The School of the Prophets has precedence over the other three cornerstones of Zion, and by revelation from the Lord calls and ordains the First Presidency of the church, the Presiding Bishopric of the United Order, and the King of the Kingdom of God. The Apostles do not have authority to call and ordain the First Presidency of the Church to preside over them. The LDS General Authorities have appointed each other, and the Lord had nothing to do with calling the present President of the LDS Church. How can a lesser office call and ordain a higher office to preside over them? That is how it is being done in the LDS church today. You can see that the LDS church is badly out of order, and has angered the LORD greatly against themselves. The Lord is very angry with the Mormon General Authorities for leading the twelve million members astray into forbidden paths away from the green pastures of the true Word of God, and will soon replace every imposter General Authority. In the prophet Moses time, Jethro was President of the School of the Prophets. He presided over Zion, and ordained Moses to the Holy Priesthood and set him apart as President of the church. Jesus was President of the School of the Prophets and presided over Zion, and ordained Peter as President of the church. Joseph Smith was President of the School of the Prophets, presided over Zion and called and ordained the Presiding Bishopric of the United Order, the First Presidency of the church, and the King over the Kingdom of God, who was Brigham Young. In his office of King, Brigham Young presided over leading the Saints to Utah, which was a civil or political function. I have not seen a thus saith the Lord revelation come from the Mormon General Authorities in over 100 years. Joseph Smith taught continuous revelations are required to know God s will concerning his people. A man not receiving revelation from the Lord is not qualified to be a shepherd of Israel. The LDS leaders are in darkness, and are leading the Lord s church without knowing the mind and will of the Lord. When Zion is correctly organized upon the four cornerstones described above, and is functioning properly, it is a very powerful organization, and its inhabitants are terrible. When the children of Zion are living all of God s commandments, God will fight their battles and their enemies will be subdued, prevailed against, and trodden under foot. However, when the inhabitants of Zion sin against the Zion of God, they become smitten and destroyed by their enemies. In 1832 when Zion was only 17 months old, the Lord gave a warning revelation to the leaders of Zion. This warning is found in D&C 84: I am not going to quote this scripture here. Basically the Lord condemned all of the inhabitants of Zion, and warned that unless they repent a scourge and judgment would be poured out upon them. One year later in 1833 the Lord again warned the inhabitants of Zion and made a covenant with them. See D&C 97: One year later in 1834 the Lord, for the third time warned the inhabitants of Zion. See D&C 103:1-10. The Mormon people who were inhabitants of Zion failed to repent all together, and the Lord grew weary of their disobedience. And just three years later, in 1837, the Lord made a prophecy in D&C 112:23-26 which I quote in full here because of its importance, and how it affects the twelve million Mormons today: 23 Verily, verily, I say unto you, darkness covereth the earth, and gross darkness the minds of the people, and all flesh has become corrupt before my face. 24 Behold, vengeance cometh speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth, a day of wrath, a day of burning, a day of desolation, of weeping, of mourning, and of lamentation; and as a whirlwind it shall come upon all the face of the earth, saith the Lord. 25 And upon my house shall it begin, and from my house shall it go forth, saith the Lord; 26 First among those among you, saith the Lord, who have professed to know my name and have not known me, and have blasphemed against me in the midst of my house, saith the Lord. 3

4 The Lord made no provision here that if his people (the Mormons) repented that He would not bring the desolations commencing upon His house, upon them. He knew that the majority of the Mormon people would not repent, and that He would have to bring His judgments of great desolations and destruction first upon His own house, because He knew that the leaders of His church would blaspheme against Him in the midst of His own house. The Lord ceased to speak to the leaders of His church when they became out of order, prior to The Lord will not give revelations to anyone who is out of order and harmony with His true Gospel. Without revelations from the Lord the church began to become more and more out of order. After the Lord ceased to speak to the First Presidency and Apostles of the LDS church, he began speaking to other prophets of His own choosing. One of these prophets was John Hyrum Koyle of Salem Utah. Prophet Koyle received revelations from the Lord for over 50 years until he died in In 1916 the Lord spoke to Harry Edgar Baker of Chicago, Illinois, formerly of Canada. In 1961 the Lord began speaking to Robert Crossfield, Calgary Alberta, Canada and has given this prophet hundreds of revelations continuously from 1961 to the present time. These revelations have been published in the Second Book of Commandments. The prophet Robert Crossfield will hereafter be referred to as The Prophet in this discourse. At first, the Lord s revelations to the Prophet called the General Authorities to repentance. The Prophet was instructed to send the revelations to the General Authorities. The Lord promised to send an angel from His presence to the General Authorities to confirm the truthfulness of the revelations if the General Authorities would read the revelations and ask the Lord in prayer for the angel to confirm them. Of course, the proud and stiff-necked General Authorities refused to ask the Lord to send His angel. They preferred to remain in the dark until this day, without revelations from the Lord. The General Authorities did, however, fear the revelations and ten years later excommunicated the Prophet from the LDS church. If the LDS church was in order, excommunication would be a very sad thing indeed. However, since the LDS church is in apostasy, and its leaders have not received a thus saith the Lord revelation in over a century, excommunication means nothing. Without revelations from the Lord, the LDS church has joined the ranks of other sectarian denominations-- until it is cleansed and set in order by the prophet one mighty and strong. See D&C 85:7. Then it will be acceptable to the Lord as the missionary cornerstone of the Zion of God, and assume its rightful place. First it must be cleansed, set in order and all the false prophets and apostles presiding over the Lord s church must be released; and a new First Presidency and a new Quorum of Twelve Apostles will be called by the Lord by revelation to the Presidency of the World School of the Prophets. Further, the Lord has told His World School of the Prophets that His temples are cesspools of filth, and must be cleansed and re-dedicated by His true prophets, under the direction of the World School of the Prophets. It is truly a sad day because there is not enough priesthood left in the Lord s church to administer the sacrament, and the sacrament tables are full of vomit. Jehovah, the father of Jesus Christ, in His mercy has a plan for the salvation and redemption of Zion, so that all the people on the earth will not be utterly wasted at Christ s second coming. In fulfillment of the prophecy in D&C 27:6 the Lord has sent His holy prophet Elias, or a forerunner of Christ s second coming. I quote here one paragraph from a revelation from Jehovah to the Prophet on November 15, My son, for ye are indeed My son, for ye were ordained before you were born to be a prophet unto this people, not a prophet only but an Elias, yea even a forerunner to be as a warning voice to call the nations to repentance before the calamities come. 2BC 85:1 In 1982 the Lord commanded the Prophet to restore the School of the Prophets. The Prophet was called as President, and the Lord called six 4

5 counselors; and the Lord said to these seven prophets, Ye are My friends, and My high priests, and I will fight your battles for you. Shortly the United Order was restored. The Kingdom of God will be restored when the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been cleansed by the One Mighty and Strong (see D&C 85:7) and a rebaptism of the elect, and all new general authorities and officers are chosen by the Lord from His elect, who repent, and step forth to help redeem Zion, and are set apart by the School of the Prophets; then Zion will be in order, with its four corner stones; and will be acceptable unto the Lord. This new Zion will prevail against the wicked kingdoms of the world and subdue them under the foot of God; while those remaining, which have been rejected by the Lord, who do not repent and remain on their present course, will be scattered and trodden under the foot of men. For they will be ashes under the feet of the inhabitants of the Zion being organized now under the direction of Jehovah through His prophets. He who fighteth against Zion shall perish, saith God. 2 Nephi 10:13 As the honest in heart truth seekers can see, the Zion that the prophet Joseph Smith established is in shambles, has been rejected by the Lord, and will be trodden under foot as prophesied; and it will become necessary for the Lord to call other prophets to re-establish His Zion correctly. I quote in part a revelation from the Lord to the Prophet on December 22, 1982: 6 For I shall pour out My blessings both temporally and spiritually upon My people that they will not be able to receive, if they but listen to My true prophets and heed My words through them, and do even as I command in the setting up of My Zion in this the last dispensation. (2BC 87:6) On November 26, 1983 the Prophet received a revelation from the Lord, as Section 104 of the Second Book of Commandments. Verse one begins as follows: Thus saith the LORD unto My people. Verse sixteen is quoted in its entirety here, I have also called My servant Lee to be a special witness, but he hath a calling the same as My servant Parley P. Pratt, for I have given unto him the Spirit of Discourse that he may discern and understand the scriptures and teach the people the truth of My gospel. 2BC 104:16 By revelation I, Ervin Lee Lowther, have been called as a special witness, to declare to all the world by testimony that I know that the Prophet s calling is from Jehovah, and he was ordained before he was born to be an Elias, and warn the nations before the calamities come. I, as a special witness, warn all people to heed the message in this discourse, to repent, and become meek and pure in heart. In January 1986 the Lord revealed unto the Prophet that the time of the Gentiles is fulfilled, and that He will take His prophets from amongst the Gentiles (Mormon people), seal up the testimony and bind up the law against the Mormon people, and bring the fullness of the Gospel to the Jews and the ancient covenant people. In D&C 88:88-91 the Lord warns what will happen after this ordinance is performed: 88 And after your testimony cometh wrath and indignation upon the people. 89 For after your testimony cometh the testimony of earthquakes, that shall cause groanings in the midst of her, and men shall fall upon the ground and shall not be able to stand. 90 And also cometh the testimony of the voice of thunderings, and the voice of lightnings, and the voice of tempests, and the voice of the waves of the sea heaving themselves beyond their bounds. 91 And all things shall be in commotion; and surely, men's hearts shall fail them; for fear shall come upon all people. The World School of the Prophets met in solemn assembly in Provo, Utah on August 23, 1986 and I as voice, did seal up the testimony, and bind up the law against the disobedient Mormon people, who have rejected the truths brought to them 5

6 from the Lord by the World School of the Prophets. The Lord sent an angel from His presence to verify that this ordinance was performed correctly. The angel reported to the Hosts of Heaven and the Lord that the ordinance was done correctly. D&C 133:66-74 is quoted in full in this discourse: 66 In that day when I came unto mine own, no man among you received me, and you were driven out. 67 When I called again there was none of you to answer; yet my arm was not shortened at all that I could not redeem, neither my power to deliver. 68 Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea. I make the rivers a wilderness; their fish stink, and die for thirst. 69 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and make sackcloth their covering. 70 And this shall ye have of my hand-- ye shall lie down in sorrow. 71 Behold, and lo, there are none to deliver you; for ye obeyed not my voice when I called to you out of the heavens; ye believed not my servants, and when they were sent unto you ye received them not. 72 Wherefore, they sealed up the testimony and bound up the law, and ye were delivered over unto darkness. 73 These shall go away into outer darkness, where there is weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth. 74 Behold the Lord your God hath spoken it. Amen. By revelation to the Prophet the Lord stated that D&C 133:66-74 is a prophecy (2BC 108:18-19) of what will happen to the disobedient Mormon leaders. It is a sad commentary indeed that the General Authorities will be delivered over unto darkness, and shall go away into outer darkness where there is weeping, and wailing and gnashing of teeth instead of the light of the presence of God they expect. The Lord has stated to the Prophet that the LDS General Authorities are the false prophets warned of in the scriptures, and are whited sepulchers full of dead men s bones. The Lord has made it abundantly clear, because they rejected the Lord s revelations brought to them by the Prophet, that they will be delivered over to darkness and shall go away into outer darkness, where there is weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth. The Lord warns of putting trust in the arm of flesh. Why do you continue following false prophets that the Lord has exposed, and promises to slaughter, who shall go away into outer darkness, where there is weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth? Wake up before you find yourself and family slaughtered also in the imminent great whirlwind, the Lord has promised to send very soon, and has stated on February 20, 2004 that the time is now ripe for the harvest of gathering of the elect, the meek and pure in heart. Then the whirlwind shall commence, and few there be that shall survive that day. You have precious little time left. Beware lest you follow those false prophets to destruction instead of the Celestial Kingdom you expect. All is not well in Zion, as the adversary would have you think. Through these false prophets the adversary has gained control of the Lord s church, which was very carefully delivered over to him by the General Authorities. All I can say about this is, because they rejected the Lord and His true prophets, they will deserve what the Lord will inflict upon them, because they have denied the Holy Ghost s voice speaking unto them, confirming the Lord s message to them through the Prophet. There will be many desolations and destructions inflicted upon the wicked. One very destructive desolation spoken of in several scriptures is the great whirlwind. I quote Jeremiah 25:32-38: 32 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. 33 And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground. 6

7 34 Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel. 35 And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape. 36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard: for the LORD hath spoiled their pasture. 37 And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the LORD. 38 He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger. The Shepherds referred to by the Lord in this revelation are the General Authorities of the LDS church, and principle of the flock is the President of the LDS church. The destiny of the LDS General Authorities and especially the President of the church is assured. Yes indeed, the Lord is extremely angry for the way these proud and haughty men have conducted the affairs of the Lord s church. These men either don t know truth from error, or they have no regard for the mind and will of the Lord. These disobedient leaders of the Lord s church have conducted the Lord s church as if it was their own church. The prophecies spoken of in the aforesaid scriptures are crystal clear, and cannot be confused of another people or another time, than now and the immediate future. The Lord also speaks of the great whirlwind in D&C 63:6 and D&C 97:22 This great whirlwind will be one of the most devastating desolations of the great tribulations. Imagine a giant whirlwind thousands of miles in size, whirling at speeds of several hundred miles per hour, going all over the face of the earth destroying almost everyone and everything in its path. The prophet John Koyle prophesied over 60 years ago that transportation will stop overnight. I don t know of a more powerful force that can stop all transportation overnight than this great whirlwind. I doubt there will be planes, trains, buses, trucks or cars left in a serviceable condition to operate. Furthermore, this powerful force will no doubt destroy the roads, airplane runways and railroad tracks. In a revelation to the Prophet on February 20, 2004, I quote verse as follows: 10 Behold my son, ye then can see that I have taken from My church My Priesthood wherein baptisms and all other ordinances performed by those who once held My Priesthood are no longer valid. 11 And why are they no longer valid? Because those who step forward are no longer required to have faith in Me their Savior, nor repent totally of their sins; 12 And thus they make the ordinance invalid, and such a covenant is no longer considered in the heavens. 13 Nevertheless, the sin lieth not on their heads, but on the heads of those who say I have the Priesthood to perform this ordinance, and have not. 14 For they have become as the Church of the Gentiles, without works. 15 Which works are the keeping of My commandments. In verse 20 of this revelation, the Lord gave the following promise concerning the great whirlwind. I suggest that you read this verse carefully and seek after the one and only way to survive, not only this great whirlwind, but hailstones, plagues, famine, earthquakes, tidal waves, and great heat from the sun. The prophet Malachi warned that in the last days the earth will burn as an oven. The prophet Isaiah warned that men will be scorched with great heat. Verse 20 of the revelation from the Lord to the Prophet on Feb 20, 2004 follows: 20 The time is now ripe for the harvest to be gathered, for when the winnowing shall begin, then the whirlwind shall commence, and few there be that shall survive that day. The scriptures tell us that when the blind lead the blind, they will all fall into the ditch. I witness 7

8 unto all the world that the Ministers of all the religions, and the Mormon General Authorities are blind, teaching false doctrines, and receive no revelation from God, and have no priesthood. They have no knowledge how to protect themselves or the people from the great tribulations, so they will all die, except they repent and become meek and pure in heart. Then the Lord will guide those to His true prophets. Those with God s true prophets will be protected as those with the prophet Noah were protected from death in the great flood. I strongly suggest you read this discourse three times and pray and ask our Father in Heaven if it is true. I promise you, in the name of Jesus Christ, that the Holy Ghost will reveal the truth of this discourse unto you. The truths herein will be written in your heart. May our Heavenly Father bless all honest in heart truth seekers. If you are meek and pure in heart this discourse will be meaningful to you. I witness to all the world that this discourse is true and God s true prophets are your only way to live through the desolations of the great tribulations. I believe the beginning of the seven year great tribulation are commencing upon us now. Lee Lowther For further information, contact efriendsinbox@hotmail.com.
