Christ Gives Beelzebub Dominion over Satan!


Christ gives Beelzebub dominion over Satan, forever,
as recompense for taking away Adam and his sons.
Beelzebub, Prince of hell, vehemently upbraids Satan for persecuting Christ and bringing him to hell.
Nicodemus  XVIII: 1-14
1.       Then the prince of hell took Satan, and with great indignation said to him, O thou prince of destruction, author of Beelzebub’s  defeat and banishment, the scorn of God’s angels and loathed by all righteous persons!  What inclined thee to act thus?
2.       Thou wouldst crucify the King of Glory, and by his destruction, hast made us promise of very large advantages, but as a fool wert ignorant of what thou wast about.
3.       For behold that Jesus of Nazareth, with the brightness of his glorious divinity, puts to flight all the horrid powers of darkness and death;
4.       He has broke down our prison from top to bottom, dismissed all the captives, released all who were bound, and all who were wont formerly to groan under weight of their torments have now insulted us, and we are like to be defeated by their prayers.
5.       Our impious dominions are subdued, and no part of mankind is now left in our subjection, but on the other hand, they all boldly defy us.
6.       Though before, the dead never durst behave themselves insolently towards us, nor, being prisoners, could ever on any occasion be merry,
7.       O Satan, thou prince of all the wicked, father of the impious and abandoned, why wouldst thou attempt this exploit, seeing our prisoners were hitherto always without the least hopes of salvation and life!
8.       But now there is not one of them does ever groan, nor is there the least appearance of a tear in any of their faces.
9.       O prince Satan, thou great keeper of the infernal regions, all thy advantages which thou didst acquire by the forbidden tree, and the loss of Paradise, thou hast now lost by the wood of the cross;
10.   And thy happiness all then expired, when thou didst crucify Jesus Christ the King of Glory.
11.   Thou hast acted against thine own interest and mine, as thou wilt presently perceive by those large torments and infinite punishments which thou art about to suffer.
12.   O Satan, prince of all evil, author of death, source of all pride, thou shouldest first have inquired into the evil crimes of Jesus of Nazareth, and then thou wouldst have found that he was guilty of no fault worthy of death.
13.   Why didst thou venture, without either reason or justice, to crucify him, and hast brought down to our regions a person innocent and righteous, and thereby hast lost all the sinners, impious and unrighteous persons in the whole world?
14.   While the prince of hell was thus speaking to Satan, the King of Glory said to Beelzebub, the prince of hell, Satan the prince shall be subject to thy dominion for ever, in the room of Adam and his righteous sons, who are mine.

Israel Scattered and Slain! Why?

Why? Why Indeed?  For worshipping false Gods.   Psalm 106,   Ether 4: 14 & 15               I the lord am God and me alone shalt thou serve. Thou shalt have no strange Gods before me.   I the Lord, am bound when ye do what I say; but when ye do not what I say, ye have no promise. Praise the Lord for his mercy and mighty works---Israel rebelled and did wickedly---Moses mediated between Israel and the Lord---Israel was scattered and slain for worshipping false gods, nonetheless, the Father hath remembered the covenant which he made unto your fathers O house of Israel. 1  Praise ye the  Lord . O give thanks unto the  Lord ; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. 2  Who can utter the mighty acts of the  Lord ? who can shew forth all his praise? 3  Blessed are they that keep judgme...

My wife slipped me a note on Sunday headed: 5 Points of a Testimony.   No doubt she was concerned, I would turn mine into a travelogue, and bore the members to sleep. 1.      The Mormon Church is the only Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. 2.      The Book of Mormon (the BOM) is true and is a second testament of Jesus Christ. 3.      Joseph Smith, the youth chosen by Jesus to restore his church to the earth, was his chosen Prophet. 4.      Jesus Christ alone, was and is our Redeemer and Saviour. 5.      Russel M Nelson is our current prophet. Past prophets have told us to; Go do the work! Do it now! Lengthen your stride! But the Lord himself has indicated that we ought to Russel M (i)N. Oh! What a Latter-Day sense of humour?   I guess the members are wide awake.
