Do Mormons Chant

‘Wonderful
Lucifer’
In The Temple?

In her tape recorded presentation, reference number LM 009,

Lorri MacGregor of MacGregor Ministries [now closed down by
the Canadian Government for being a Hate Crime Ministry!]
makes the following statement:

And do you know that in the Mormon Temple ceremony in Salt

Lake City, you're not allowed to go into it, and neither are we
['you' & 'we'?], you have to have a recommend from your bishop
and prove that all your tithes are paid, and, y'know, really keep
your nose to the grindstone, about 20 Mormons, 20% of the
Mormons make it into the Temple.
And it's secret they're not allowed to talk to about it to even each
other, they take blood oaths and various things in that Temple,
but if you're interested in what goes on in the Temple we have a
booklet out there that's word for word of what their Temple
ceremony is. It's the most ridiculous thing!
However in part of this Temple ceremony in Salt Lake City the
audience participates by crying out "---- ---". "---- ---", they're all
supposed to cry that out during the time in the ceremony. And so
they say it. But you know what it Semetically says in Hebrew,
"---- ---"? It says "Wonderful Lucifer" [the audience murmur]. It's
no surprise then that in the Mormon Temple ceremony it is
Lucifer who answers Adam when he prays.

And so many of the symbols found in and around the Temple

concerned with Mormonism are symbols from the Satanic Bible,
from the world of the occult.

MacGregor as usual is at pains to show how dependent Latter-day

Saint theology and practice is upon Satanic influence and devices.
But as in the case with her translation of "Mormon" in Chinese as
"The Gates of Hell" she falls a willing victim to her in ineptitude
as a linguist and her eagerness to promulgate any piece of
information regardless of its truth provided that it will serve her
purposes of doing as much damage as possible to the camp of her
enemy.

What foundation does MacGregor have for making her claim that
Mormons "cry out wonderful Lucifer?" There are several words
which approximate the English word "wonderful" in modern
Hebrew. They are:

1. ‫נפלא‬ niph'la'

2. ‫יּﬥטּﬦ‬ maph'ly'

3. ‫ ﬣﬣוּמּﬨ‬tamuhah
4. ‫נהדר‬ nehadar

"Lucifer" is variously rendered as:

1. ‫תּﬥײַﬡ‬ 'ayyeleth

2. ‫ﬧﬡﬤﬡשּﬡﬣ הּגּוֹנּ ףּﬤוֹכּ ﬧﬡﬤשּﬣ‬ hashachar chochav

nogahh

Classical or Biblical Hebrew "wonderful" is rendered as:

1. ‫ﬣﬥכֿ‬ pawlah

2. ‫ﬣﬥﬣ‬ pehleh*

3. ‫ﬣמּאָשּ‬ shamaw

The proper name rendered "Lucifer" does not appear in the

Hebrew scriptures. In the English Authorized Version it appears
only in Isaiah 14.12. Most Biblical scholars acknowledge that in
this passage it refers to the king of Babylon's title of 'light-bringer'
or 'brightness' or, 'shining one' or 'day star (Venus)', and the
passage in Latin was taken by Tertullian and others to refer to
Satan and his fall from heaven. Although the passage is now
almost exclusively used to refer to Satan's descent from his former
glorious position in the court of God to his place as antagonist, or
adversary, in the human world, there is insufficient warrant in this
passage alone to justify this. MacGregor would be more justified
in claiming that Mormons call out "wonderful king of Babylon" in
Temple ceremonies, basing her claim on the name "Lucifer." The
word translated as "Lucifer" in the Authorized Version of the
Bible is:

‫ ﬥיִﬥיִﬣ‬heylel

MacGregor says that the words used mean "wonderful Lucifer."

However Hebrew renderings of this in Modern Hebrew are:

niph'la' ayyeleth or niph'la'

hashachar chochav nogahh

maph'liy' ayyeleth or maph'liy'

hashachar chochav nogahh

tamuhah ayyeleth, or tamuhah

hashachar chochav nogahh.

The Biblical Hebrew is not possible because "Lucifer" does not

appear in the Hebrew Scriptures. Where it has been translated as
appearing the original meaning of the translated word has been
erroneously transposed onto another personality. Setting aside this
difficulty and proceeding with the exercise on MacGregor's terms,
the following would be the possible renderings:
 pawlaw heylel

pehleh heylel

shamaw heylel.

Since none of these approximates part of Latter Day Saint Temple

rites MacGregor’s point crumples and is exposed for the singular
piece of nastiness which it is. The meanings of the words she
claims are translated as "Wonderful Lucifer" are:

1. ‫פּ‬ which is the name of a Hebrew letter, and is only ever

used to identify the letter or as the number 80.

2. ‫ ﬣלּ‬a word that exists only as an inseparable preposition

meaning either 'to' 'unto' 'for' or 'at.'

3. ‫ ﬥאָ‬a word that means 'God.'

Since the only word applicable to a person is the last, the very
worst that Mormons can be accused of is calling out "Wonderful
God." Hardly a heresy! But caution is indicated since there is
nothing to suggest that the language used is Biblical or modern
Hebrew, or any other known language, and attempts to make
something out of another language on phonetic grounds - let alone
‘semitic’ or even semantic ones - we are entering into an
employment which is the exclusive reserve of fools and knaves.

Clearly, MacGregor has deliberately misled her readers by

claiming that what Latter-day Saints say in their sacred services
are something other than they actually are. For MacGregor, it is
permissible to add a letter to make what is said appear to be
something that it not said. To the Hebrew for God [‫]ֵאל‬,
MacGregor cunningly adds the Hebrew ‫ֵה‬, rendering the name of
God from its pure interpretation and meaning into a
circumlocution for Lucifer, or Satan, ‫ֵהיֵלל‬, pronounced hay-lale,
rather than ale, which is God.

MacGregor lies. Little wonder that her hate ministry was forced
to close its doors under Canada’s religious hate laws recently.
She has been fooling the gullible and uninformed for years and
even some supposedly upright, Christian, and intelligent British
Hate Ministries readily use her lies.
