Genealogy:
A Master Number beginning with three digits is given to the direct line
descending stem. All other descending lineages are ordered according to
where they connect into the direct line of descent as sons or daughters.
They have a dash (-) to show the connection. The Numbers are arranged
by time of birth in the family, where possible, with the direct descendant
being placed where he or she belongs by order of birth. In cases of long
and questionable pedigrees, the lineage is shown descending down, but
with no numbering system attached. Added commentary is author's opinion.

Ezekiel 37: 16-19
Moreover, thou son of man [Ezekiel], take thee one
stick,
and write
upon it, For Judah,
and for the children of Israel his companions:
then take another stick, and write upon it, For
Joseph, the
stick of
Ephraim,
and for all the house of Israel his companions: And join them one to another
into one stick; and they shall become
one in thine
hand. And when the children
of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou
meanest by these? Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I
will
take the stick of Joseph,
which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of
Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah,
and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
1 Nephi 13: 37-42
And blessed
are they who shall seek to bring forth my
Zion at that
day, for
they shall have the gift
and the power
of the Holy Ghost; and if they
endure
unto the end they shall be lifted up at the last day, and shall be saved in the
everlasting kingdom
of the Lamb; and whoso shall publish peace, yea, tidings
of great joy, how beautiful upon the mountains shall they be. And it came
to
pass that I beheld the remnant of the seed of my brethren, and also the
book
of the Lamb of God, which had proceeded forth from the mouth of the Jew,
that it came forth from the Gentiles
unto the
remnant of the seed of my brethren.
And after it had come forth unto them I beheld
other books, which
came forth
by the power of the Lamb, from the Gentiles unto them, unto the
convincing
of the Gentiles and the remnant of the seed of my brethren, and also the Jews
who were scattered upon all the face of the earth, that the records of the
prophets
and of the twelve apostles of the Lamb are
true.
And the angel spake unto me,
saying: These last records, which thou hast seen among the Gentiles, shall
establish
the truth of the first,
which are of the twelve
apostles of the Lamb,
and shall make known the plain and precious things which have been taken
away from them; and shall make known to all kindreds, tongues, and people,
that the Lamb of God is the Son of the Eternal Father, and the
Savior of
the
world; and that all men must come unto him, or they cannot be saved. And
they must come according to the words which shall be established by the mouth
of the Lamb; and the words of the Lamb shall be made known in the records of
thy seed, as well as in the records of the twelve apostles of the Lamb; where-
fore they both shall be established in
one; for
there is one
God and one
Shepherd
over all the earth. And the time cometh that he shall manifest
himself unto all nations, both unto the
Jews and
also unto the Gentiles;
and after he has manifested himself unto the Jews and also unto the Gentiles,
then he shall manifest himself unto the Gentiles and also unto the Jews,
and the last
shall be first, and the first shall be last.
E. The ancient
Books of the Bible,
compared with
Mormon Archaeology,
invalidate the documentary hypothesis theories, traditionally known as:
J, E, P, and D; for the
Torah
and the Deuteronomy history, from Joshua
to Kings. Some modern historians incorrectly state that the Torah
was gradually recorded as the
Hebrew
Bible, between the 5th century
B.C. and the 2nd century B.C. Clearly, internal source evidence from
the
Pearl of Great Price, the
OT
-
NT and the
Book of Mormon, suggest
primary source documents, or
copies thereof, going back to the time of
Adam and (Eve - the Mother of all
Living),
were readily available to
Moses, who then wrote or copied them for himself and other
Israelites.
The
list of biblical figures identified in
extra-biblical sources is compelling.
Additional validation of the Bible, as a surviving
primary source document,
is made by the
Joseph Smith, Jr. Translation of the Bible.
Words added
and corrections made, restore the original formation
and sense of ancient
scribes and prophets, including technical details from
Genesis to Revelation.
Joseph Smith,
Jr. said, [I believe the Bible as it read when it came from the pen
of the original writers. Ignorant translators, careless
transcribers, or designing and
corrupt priests have committed many errors. As it read,
Gen. 6:6, "It repented the
Lord that he had made man on the earth"; also, Num.
23:19, "God is not a man,
that he should lie; neither the Son of man, that he
should repent"; which I do not
believe. But it ought to read, "It repented Noah that
God made man." This I believe,
and then the other quotation stands fair. If any man
will prove to me, by one passage
of Holy Writ, one item I believe to be false, I will
renounce and disclaim it as far as I
promulgated it..]

"The Spirit of Messiah is all power in
Heaven and in Earth:
Enthroned in the Heavens as King of Kings and Lord of
Lords."
The
Lord’s
Prayer is the prayer of the
Messiah to Father (Ahman),
who administers the Keys of the Universe throughout all
eternity.
Jesus Christ was born to become King of the Jews, as
well as King
over the whole earth. As the Son of God, he
suffered the rejection
and abject humiliation of being crucified for the sins
of all mankind.
Christ had previously been rejected by the leadership
of the nation,
who released a seditious murderer from their own ranks,
rather than
give this perfect Man, in whom their was no fault, an
act of kind mercy,
by
Pontius Pilate.
John 19: 34-35
But one of the soldiers with a spear
pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood
and water.
And he
that saw it bare
record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that
[what] he
saith [is]
true, that ye might believe. D&C
19: 15-20 Jesus Christ
commands all
to" repent, lest I smite you by the rod of my mouth,
and by my wrath, and by
my anger, and your sufferings be sore--how sore you
know not, how exquisite
you know not, yea, how hard to bear you know not. For
behold, I, God, have
suffered these things for all, that they might not
suffer if they would repent;
But if they would not repent they must suffer even as
I;
Which suffering caused
myself, even God, the greatest of all, to tremble
because of pain, and to bleed
at every pore, and to suffer both body and spirit--and
would that I might not drink
the bitter cup, and shrink-- Nevertheless, glory be to
the Father, and I partook and
finished my preparations unto the children of men.
Wherefore, I command you again
to repent, lest I humble you with my almighty power;
and that you confess your sins,
lest you suffer these punishments of which I have
spoken, of which in the smallest,
yea, even in the least degree you have tasted at the
time I withdrew my Spirit."

he had gathered all
the chief priests, and scribes of the people
together, he demanded of them,
saying, Where is the place that
is written of by the prophets, in which Christ
should be born? For
he greatly feared, yet he believed not the prophets.
And they said unto him,
It is written by
the prophets, that he should be born
in
Bethlehem of Judea, for thus have
they said,
The word of
the Lord came
unto us, saying, And thou, Bethlehem,
which lieth in the land of Judea,
in thee
shall be born a prince, which art not
the least among the princes of Judea; for
out of thee shall come
the Messiah, who shall
save my people Israel.
Research Notes:
2nd Century
132 - 135 A.D.
- The majority of the Jewish population of Judea was either killed,
exiled, or sold into slavery, and the Jewish religious and political
authority ended. Thus, Bethlehem was no longer part or of Judea.
Since 1995, Bethlehem has been governed by the Palestinian
National Authority, and still is not within the confines of Judea.
Therefore, as it is written by the prophets, only Jesus Christ can
be properly ascribed as being by birth location, the true Messiah.

concerning
whom it is written, Behold, I will
send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way

have done unto him, whatsoever they listed.
Likewise shall also the Son of Man suffer
of them.
But
I say unto you, Who is Elias?
Behold, this is Elias, whom I send to

Herod, because

sensitive about his Idumaean and therefore only half-
Jewish origins, which
many Jews regarded as disqualifying him from legitimate
rule over Israel . . . ,
that his court historian Nicolaus of Damascus gave him
a pure Jewish ancestry .

to conceal his origins,
and that his fear of rivals to his throne led to decimation
of the leading Jewish
aristocratic families . . ." -

prophets; for if ye had known them, ye would have
believed on me; for to this intent
they were written. For I am sent that ye
might have life. Therefore I will liken it unto

And they said unto him,
We have the law,

man we will not receive him to be our ruler; for he
maketh himself to be a
judge over us. Then said Jesus unto them, The law and the
prophets testify of me; yea,
and
all the prophets who have written, even until John,
have foretold of these
days. [This very clear communication with Jesus Christ, does
indicate that records had been kept and handed down from the
time of the prophet
Adam, until the time
of John. They were
available to legal and religious administrators,
as leaders of the general population.]

Doctrine and Covenants 93
Verily,
thus saith the Lord: It shall come to pass that every soul
who forsaketh
his sins
and cometh unto me, and calleth
on
my name, and obeyeth
my voice, and keepeth my commandments,
shall see
my face
and know
that I am; And that I am the true
light
that lighteth every man that cometh into the world; And
that I am in
the Father, and the Father in me, and the Father and I
are one—
The Father because
he gave
me of his fulness, and the Son because
I was in the world and made flesh
my tabernacle,
and dwelt among
the sons of men. I was in the world and received
of my Father,
and the works
of him were plainly manifest.
And John
saw and bore record of the fulness of my glory,
and the fulness
of John’s
record is hereafter to be revealed. And he bore record, saying:
I saw his glory, that he was in the beginning,
before the world was;
Therefore, in the beginning the Word
was, for he was the Word, even the
messenger of salvation—
The light
and the Redeemer of the world; the Spirit of truth, who came into
the world, because the world was made by him, and in
him was the life of
men and the light of men. The worlds were made
by him; men were made
by him; all things were made by him, and through him,
and of him.
And I, John, bear
record that I beheld his glory,
as the glory of the Only Begotten
of the Father, full of grace and truth, even the Spirit
of truth, which came and dwelt
in the flesh, and dwelt among us.
And I, John, saw that
he received not of the fulness
at the first, but received
grace
for grace; And he received not of the fulness at first, but continued from
grace
to grace, until he received a fulness; And thus he was called the Son
of God,
because he received not of the fulness at the first.
And I, John,
bear record, and lo, the heavens were opened, and the Holy Ghost
descended upon him in the form of a dove, and sat upon
him, and there came a
voice out of heaven saying: This is my beloved
Son.
And I, John, bear
record that he received a fulness of the glory of the Father;
And he received all power,
both in heaven and on earth, and the glory of the
Father was with him, for he dwelt in him.
And it shall come to pass, that if you are faithful you
shall receive the fulness
of the record of John.
I give unto you these sayings that you may understand
and know how to worship, and know
what you worship, that you may come
unto the Father in my name, and in due time receive of
his fulness. For if you
keep my commandments
you shall receive of his fulness,
and be glorified
in me as I am in the Father; therefore, I say unto you,
you shall receive grace
for grace.
And now, verily I say unto you, I was in the beginning
with the Father, and am
the Firstborn;
And all those who are begotten through me are partakers
of the
glory
of the same, and are the church
of the Firstborn.
Ye were also in the beginning with the Father; that
which is Spirit,
even the Spirit
of truth; And truth
is knowledge
of things as they are, and as they were, and as
they are to come; And whatsoever is more
or less than this is the spirit of that
wicked one who was a liar
from the beginning. The Spirit of truth
is of God.
I am the Spirit of truth, and
John bore record of me, saying: He received
a fulness
of truth, yea, even of all truth; And no man receiveth
a fulness
unless he keepeth
his commandments. He that keepeth
his commandments receiveth truth
and light,
until he is glorified in truth and knoweth
all things. Man was also in the beginning
with God. Intelligence,
or the light
of truth,
was not created
or made, neither
indeed can be. All truth is independent in that
sphere
in which God has placed it,
to act
for itself, as all intelligence also; otherwise there is no existence.
Behold, here is the agency
of man, and here is the condemnation of man;
because that which was from the beginning is plainly
manifest unto them,
and they receive not the light. And every man whose spirit receiveth not
the light
is under condemnation. For man is spirit.
The elements are eternal,
and spirit
and element, inseparably connected, receive a fulness of joy;
And when separated,
man cannot receive a fullness of joy. The elements
are the tabernacle
of God; yea, man is the tabernacle of God, even temples;
and whatsoever temple is defiled,
God shall destroy that temple.
The glory
of God is intelligence,
or, in other words, light
and truth. Light and truth
forsake that evil
one. Every spirit
of man was innocent
in the beginning; and God
having redeemed
man from the fall,
men became again, in their infant state,
innocent
before God. And that wicked
one cometh and taketh
away light and truth,
through disobedience,
