November 14 — Mormons Try Entering Through a Different Gate. Micah 2:12-13 “I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men. 13 The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them.”
John 10:14, 26 “I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.”

Bozrah was the capital of Edom, home of Esau. The transliteration for Bozrah is boṣrâ. It means to isolate as in an enclosure or sheepfold, to separate, inaccessible fortification. During the Maccabean wars the Jews subjugated Edomites and forced them to convert to Judaism. When Greek became the common language Edomites were called Idumeans (also referred to as cave dwellers) and one of their rulers became King of Judea. His name was Herod the Great.
Most unfortunately, Mormons don’t worship the Jesus of the Bible and have tried to force themselves into Christianity, just as the Israelites forced the Idumeans into Judaism with everyone’s blind obedience.
For 30 years I believed Jesus was the spirit brother of Lucifer, and a created being.
What a dismal existence it was for me and continues to be so for these dear people! The obvious rejection of the biblical Jesus has left them in a precarious position indeed.
Please, pray for, and witness to them won’t you?

Jesus the Christ, p. 8 “Thus it is shown that prior to the placing of man upon the earth, how long before we do not know, Christ and Satan, together with the hosts of the spirit-children of God, existed as intelligent individuals, possessing power and opportunity to choose the course they would pursue and the leaders whom they would follow and obey.” – James Talmage, LDS Apostle
