    As others had just moved in. So ask for a reminder that it can be done . Birds, hooves or paws, each understand color in creation. Let's try understanding that . Freedom is priceless in terms of relatable concern. They had not even been returned then. So the whole herd sees happy for now. Just remember not too close toward lava fires. Very mean to not negate that. It was word given to succeed

    This isn’t just a ‘symbol’ for the native Americans. Just as the red heifer prophecy of the hebrews/ Jews signals the coming of the Messiah, the White Buffalo (NOT albino) born with a black nose is a signal that the great peacemaker (Jesus Christ) is soon to return. The record of the Native Americans of this nation, which includes the visiting of Jesus Christ After his Crucifiction to them is found in The Book of Mormon. In case you don’t know that the book is about the inhabitants of THIS nation.

    John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. 1 Corinthians 15:3 that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. Romans 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. ❤
