United Order (Order of Enoch)

Individuals can live consecration individually. The United Order is likely more of an economic, banking, credit, and insurance system that facilitates an entire community to live consecration where the community lives with "all things common"; NOT, all things [in].common. Maybe that's how Satan is bound by keeping him from controlling the economic system. There is likely a way to have a free market and free enterprise without dependency on the dictates of the unelected machiavellian capitalist money elite.

Brigsm Young experimented with establishing the United Order with the establishment of Orderville also affectionately known as "souo town" in 1875. 

Flash of Light at Carthage

"The ruffian, of whom I have spoken, who set him against the wellcurb, now gathered a bowie knife for the purpose of severing his head from his body. He raised the knife and was in the attitude of striking, when a light, so sudden and powerful, burst from the heavens upon the bloody scene, (passing its vivid chain between Joseph and his murderers,) that they were struck with terrified awe and filled with consternation. This light, in its appearance and potency, baffles all powers of description. The arm of the ruffian, that held the knife, fell powerless; the muskets of the four, who fired, fell to the ground, and they all stood like marble statues, not having the power to move a single limb of their bodies."  -- William Daniels, at Carthage as part of the mob. 

Mary Lightner remembered that within days of the martyrdom

"a number of men came and called us to the door and said, "The Smiths are dead, and they do say a great light appeared when they were killed." I said, "That should prove to you that Joseph was a true Prophet and a man of God." One answered "It proves that the Lord was well pleased with what was done."  -- Mary Lightner

The Martyrdom of Joseph Smith: An Archetypal Study 

The Book of Abraham

In facsimile 3. it is apparently a marriage. (holding hands) But marriage ceremonies often also reflects a dramatization of a mythological scene.  In our culture, marriage reflects the union of Adam and Eve.  When watching a play, movie, or TV there is a need to differentiate references to the actor from the character being depicted.  The same may apply when interpreting facsimile 3.

The use and recontextualization of specific Egyptian artwork may be saying that Abraham was the main character in this ritual on one occasion or was asked to officiate the wedding ceremony (Maat ritual), for the Phoaroh's son on another occasion. 

And in the case of the hypocephelus,  Joseph Smith always translated what should have been written and not exactly what was written-- if God had allowed a divine cheat sheet containing important answers to give angels who stood as sentinels at the gates of heaven..

Judge Righteous Judgement

Toxic people confuse sympathy with empathy.  Empathy means you see and feel things from anothers perspective and then judge if sympathy is warranted.  Sonetimes, out of empathy, sympathy is NOT warranted. Toxic people feel entitled to sympathy in all circumstances because of their delusions of victimization (victim complex, specialness,  exceptionalism).

Narcissism equates to the Bibilical sin of pride. Sadly, the narcissist lacks any ability of insight, even up to the point of standing before Jesus Christ, and having Him condemn them to their face declaring, "you never knew Me" and then proceeding to argue with God about it-- talking to God as if He is somehow mistaken.

So, if this is you or me, we likely have No idea.

I think the key, is to have the attitude of Jesus Christ's 11 Apostles, upon hearing Christ declare that one among them would betray Him, each asking with sincerity, "Is it I?"

This is an interesting argument for the LDS attitude about salvation/exaltation (fear and trembling) vs. the Evangelical false certainty.
