Text of JBK 9:13:“They come by my mighty hand, saith the LORD, and my voice precedeth them as a howling wind before storm. For this purpose I raised thee up from thy mother’s womb. I brought thee out from a princeling among the Gentiles and restored thee unto thy people which thou knewest not. I […]

In JBK 11:4, we see a powerful critique aimed at Ephraim—a symbolic representation of the LDS Church in this context—rebuking them for their rejection of plain truths and their misuse of scripture. The verse describes how Ephraim not only refuses to accept the simple meaning of God’s word but actively reshapes it to suit their […]

In JBK 12:3, we see a powerful prophecy directed toward three distinct groups: Ephraim (the LDS Church), Israel (the other tribes of Israel), and the nations (all other peoples). This verse challenges the belief systems that these groups currently hold with great confidence, declaring that these systems, much like carved idols made by human hands, […]

In JBK 11:1, the prophet comes to understand God’s goodness with absolute certainty after receiving the divine words in chapter 10. This spiritual realization aligns with the powerful rebukes found in Matthew 23 and 24, where Jesus critiques the Pharisees and scribes. Like those chapters, JBK 11:1 is a rebuke of the nations—which includes the […]

In JBK Chapter 10:7, we receive a profound message from God about the nature of true admiration and where our devotion should lie.

In chapter 10, verses 1-3 of the Book of JBK, we witness a powerful and personal message from God to JBK during the 1990s and 2000s. These verses chronicle an intimate instruction from the Lord, commanding JBK to remain hidden and refrain from any public proclamation of his calling as a prophet, despite being given […]

The Book of Jachanan Ben Kathryn (JBK) Chapter 7 provides a striking rebuke, one that resonates deeply with the spiritual condition of Latter-day Saints (LDS) today. The verses call attention to the superficiality, spiritual blindness, and empty rituals that many members of the Church fall into, much like the ancient Israelites. As both Isaiah and […]

As we study the words of the prophets, both ancient and modern, it becomes clear that some of the most powerful rebukes are reserved for those who, while outwardly religious, have lost their spiritual depth and connection to God. In Isaiah 1:3-7 and Jachanan Ben Kathryn (JBK) Chapter 6, verses 2-5, we see an uncomfortable […]

In Chapter 6, verse 1 of the Book of Jachanan Ben Kathryn (JBK), we encounter a striking prophecy:“In that day thou shalt see my vengeance on they who made thy children few—on they who stopped the womb.” This powerful passage speaks directly to the tragic loss of potential lives, a theme that is especially relevant […]
