"As I clearly remember, my family and I were walking up the side of the hill Cumorah in Palmyra, New York, where Joseph Smith Jr. had been directed by the angel Moroni to receive the gold plates.  The season and climate appeared to be spring.  I told my father that we were here under direction from a messenger of Jesus Christ, and that he came to me, and that I was to receive the Brass Plates, the sword of Laban, the liahona, the interpreters and some remaining gold plates buried up in the hill Cumorah...  For under commandment of the Lord, Jesus Christ, I am to help in the restoration of all things immediately before the second coming."

"I did not know how or where to obtain these things in the hill.  So I kneeled down in prayer beside my father, and inquired in faith of what I should do.  At that instant, the earth beneath us and all around us began to shake loudly and quake.  Boulders came forth out of the hill, but the statue of Moroni was left untouched, and then the quaking stopped. I ended the prayer and walked to the south-east side of the hill, where I found a large rock jutting out of the earth, and in which behind this rock I could see a small opening.  I removed more of the dirt with my hands and then proceeded to crawl inside.  Lo and behold before me was a cave or room, filled with plates resting on alters and shelves along the walls in this room.  I did also see armors, and weapons and tools and many other things.  There was a table in the middle of the room with the liahona, a brass colored ball with windows in it and a sword laid upon the table as well.  Someone from outside the room said "Look at all this stuff, take it."  And immediately I was tempted and reached forth to grab the sword.  But immediately another quake came, and the entrance to the room caved in, and there was no way out and no source of light."

"I kneeled and prayed and repented for what I had done and I was afraid, for I knew that no one could save me from this darkness save the power of the Lord. Then immediately a light descended upon me like a conduit from the top of the room, and before me in the light stood a glorious personage, like unto the angelic messengers who visited me before.  In the light I then saw the plates of Brass shining brightly as if they were new, and the angelic being raised his right arm and I ascended into the light with him and was removed from the room."

At the time I did not know where I was taken, it has since been revealed to me that I was removed to the city of Enoch.

"To my surprise I was now somewhere else. I now appeared to be dressed in white garments.  I was standing by a slightly wide river of pure water full of light and life, with many people walking nearby down a street.  On one side of the river I could see green fields and valleys. On the other side of the road I could see some of the largest temples, and buildings I have ever seen, roads paved with something that resembled marble and within the center of this city was a large white pyramid.  So I began walking down this road into the city and through some gates into the first temple.  I approached some large golden doors and then walked inside.  Above the doors inscribed in gold on a plaque was the words "The House of the Lord, the Church of Jesus the Christ, The Restoration Center."  My father came to me when I entered the room, I have since been told this was not my earthly father but my spiritual father.  The room looked like a king's court perfected in every aspect.  My father came forward and handed me a new book.  Upon its cover in gold letters was printed "The Book of the Restoration."  I began to page through the book and read some of the chapter headings.  Here are some of the books contained therein which I clearly even to this day remember.  The Book of Enoch, The Book of Remembrance written by the hand of Adam, The Book of Prophecy containing the prophecies of Zenock, Zenos and Neum, The book of the Angels, The Book of the Sons of Light and the Ancients, The Book of the Gathering and various other books of which I was constrained from remembering.  Some paintings in this book I remember as well. I saw in the Book of Enoch, the Lord walking with the people of Enoch.  I saw black tribes and the descendants of Cain arising up to fight against the city of Enoch.  I saw the Lord speaking to Adam and he wrote his records.  I saw Jesus upon a frozen land and a white tribe was worshipping him.  I looked up to the end of the room where I saw a council of men at a bar, twelve in all and they were keeping records in large white books.  They were all smiling at me.  I then awoke from this vision."

Carrie and I were outside an old house near a field.  A woman walked out and introduced herself as Emma Smith, the wife of the Prophet.  From the looks of things we were in northern Pennsylvania where Joseph Smith translated the Gold Plates.  I asked her if I could meet with Joseph and she said "Sorry, he is out of state visiting with the Pratt's right now."   She then said he was beginning the work of translating the plates again and was looking for help.  She then said that he had lost his gold watch in the field and needed to find it to begin his work again.  I told her I would find the gold watch because I had a gift at finding lost objects.

She pointed to the field and Carrie and I walked through it.  I put out my right hand to feel where the watch was.  I found it soon under some brush.  I picked it up and dusted it off.  I opened the cover of the gold watch and it had spindles and springs under the hands which looked odd.  The watch had stopped at a quarter to nine.  Under the glass looked like a little window, perhaps where the date would show up but nothing was in the small window and the watch appeared to be broken or stopped.  I shouted to Emma "This watch is dead!" She said "You can fix it, I am sure, you have to."  And I held it in my hands and shook it some.  Suddenly the watch started glowing and the hands began moving.  In the little window the words "IT IS TIME" appeared.  I wondered "What is it time for?"  And the window changed and the word "CUMORAH" appeared.  I shouted to Emma.  "The watch said its time for Cumorah!"  She laughed and said "Well you better be off to Cumorah then shouldn't you?"

So Carrie and I got in the van, where it came from I don't know as it seemed our time converged with their time.  We went to Cumorah in New York but it was covered in people.  Cops were directing traffic.  Carrie accidentally backed into a cop car and they tried to keep us from going to the hill.

I met with a professor who was waiting for me and he took me in a room.  We discussed the watch and what I had found.  We agreed that Cumorah had been reactivated and he said people were being drawn there based on dreams and feelings.  The Cumorah program is being activated and the hills are coming alive again, and that they were shut down when Joseph Smith stopped using them.

I then awoke from this dream.

The first dream I was back in my old house in Kreamer and I was looking out my bedroom window.  I saw a car pulling into the drive-way and in it was my great-grandmother and her husband- they have both been dead for years- my great-grandmother was driving, but her husband was laying dead in the back of an open trunk, or maybe sleeping.  Because later they both walk into my bedroom.  My grandmother came up to me and said "I have a treasure for you Todd, that has been hidden from you all your life.  But I will show you that treasure now, and give you the key to open it.  You now have the gift to speak with the dead.  And I saw my bedroom closet open up and there was a treasure chest.  When I went to open the treasure, an apparition of a woman, a bluish-white misty ghost of a woman appeared in front of me and startled me trying to stop me from accessing the treasure.  She said "Beware this treasure is a danger if you do not use caution."  But my grandmother walked up to the spirit and said "He is ready, I have faith in him."   I then opened the treasure and the dream changed.

Now I am at some type of conference or group meeting at the Valley Spiritual Center where my friend Adurah works.  Carrie and I are there and everyone is gathered in the downstairs chapel or room out front and they are holding a group meditation.  Everyone is starting the meditation but I get a strong prompting to leave the room and a voice tells me to go into the bookstore. The bookstore in the dream was a lot bigger and had a lot more books than what is there currently. I was directed to a rather large and heavy book with a blue cover, and on the front of the book was the angel Moroni (of the Mormon faith) and it was titled "The Fullness of the Gold Plates."  The gold plates that Joseph Smith translated he was only allowed to translate 1/3 of the plates as the other 2/3 were higher wisdom that mankind was not ready for- anyway I bought this book, it cost $17.00 in the dream, but then I looked down and saw my name Enoch Theos as the author, and the lady at the counter said "This is your book, keep it, you don't need to pay for it."  I said thanks and walked to leave when I was met by a woman who told me she had been waiting to meet me for a long time, an elderly woman, and who's face I saw so clearly that if I met her again in life I would know her right away.

::end of dream::

I was taken away in spirit and was being shown maps of the hills in the area and that records were to come forth soon. I do not remember all the details, but this one man was there teaching me, he was interviewing or asking me questions about where the Nephites were really located. I was telling him I learned of others saying they lived in Mexico and others had found hills down there which they believed are Cumorah, he then corrected me and told me to heed the early history of the church and that will show me they knew where the Nephites lived.

He then proceeded to show me the hill where James Strang received some records and told me I was James in that life and I had received those records. Then I woke up. Carrie had a hard time getting me back into my body that morning.

Yesterday I found out that James Strang and his witnesses went and dug up those plates on September 13th by the direction of an angel to where they would be located. I had this vision on September 13.

James Strang also announced his succession to Joseph Smith on August 5th and that an angel had appointed him to lead the church at the same hour of the death of Joseph. My birthday is on August 5th.

Strang received a set of brass plates. It is the Brass Plates of Laban that I was shown several times, once when I was taken inside the cave at Cumorah, a second time when one of the three Nephites came to me in a dream dressed in sack-cloth and opened his robe and handed the brass plates to me and said I shall testify that I have seen them and that they shall come forth. A third time when I was awakened in my bedroom and a shaft of light came down in my room and the brass plates were sitting on my bookshelf, I then placed them on my bed and paged through them, feeling the hieroglyphs and before my eyes a phrase from Isaiah translated into english saying "A great and marvelous work is about to come forth unto the children of men." The plates were then taken into the light in the same manner they came.

This morning right before I awoke I was seeing a vision of a hill.

Above this hill I saw the words "The Land of Shilom."  Then those words went away and the words, "Hill Shim" replaced them.  Then finally those words also passed away and the word "Spalding."  appeared above the hill.

I then awoke and I went downstairs to do some research on the internet concerning Solomon Spaulding who wrote the Manuscript Found document which Solomon claimed he found an artificial cave in a hill near his home in Ohio, and in this cave he found scrolls which he translated to contain a record of the inhabitants of this land during ancient times.  The record he translated was in extreme similarity of the Book of Mormon.  While I was researching the spirit spoke to me "And my word shall be established in the mouths of two or three witnesses."  I then understood that Solomon Spaulding did not write a work of fiction but literally translated a Nephite record, as Joseph Smith had translated a Nephite record into the Book of Mormon, of course people believe that Smith plagiarized the Book of Mormon based on Solomon's manuscript, but knowing otherwise, having myself seen the records of the Nephites and the cave up in the hill Cumorah, I know that Spaulding's manuscript was a record of the Nephites, buried up in a hill in the same manner, but that the Book of Mormon is the more correct of the testimonies.  Perhaps from what I was shown in vision this hill in Ohio is the Hill Shim where Mormon removed the plates from and took them to Cumorah.
