The Prophet of America is known by all as "the Friend", but at the birth of the American Nation, He was known more officially as PUBLICK UNIVERSAL FRIEND. BORN JEMIMA WILKINSON
Jemima's parents are Amey Whipple and Jeremiah Wilkinson. (Job 42:14). As a youth, she was noted for possessing a unique blend of "absolute confidence" and "sincerity" but also individualistic and quiet. Described as rebeL
Lious and the Most wilful of all her 12 brother and sisters. She wore the countenance and mannerisms of her earthLyfather Jeremiah, often called "jerry" as a youth. Known as both a ruffian and recluse, yet most endearing to others. Bearing an unique attitude and jovial whit. Her mom Amey died while givjng birth to the family's thirteenth begotten child in 1765. Jeremiah Wilkinson belonged with the Quaker "Society of Friends", Puritan-principled sheep living on the Providence Plantations. She worshipped with her brothers at the Smithfield Lower Meetinghouse. Uncle Stephen Hopkins, the governor who declared his independence from the Parliamentary Government of Great Britain on 4 May 1776 . Her Brother Stephen fought in the Revolutionary War and was shot in the face by the British "red-coat" soldiers. During an ensuing War, the British Royal Navy occupied the Newport harbor on Rhode Island. These troops transmitted a typhoid endemic known as the "Columbus fever" to the colonists and natives living on the settlement nearby. This strain of typhoid infected jemima on the fourth of October, 1776. She suffered and died on October 9, 1776, having resurected on the third day after. From that point on, had the person of the FRIEND professed to be the return of Christ. This is true although in the FRIEND's last will and testament, this event supposedly occurred in the year 1777. Speaking with Heavenly Passion, the FRIEND spoke and gave testimony that jemima had indeed died, and that for This World (Urantia) had the eleventh-hour come, hence all souls' the final requital for Mercy. The Spirit of Truth inhabited the body of Jemima Wilkinson, whose very life was the ministry of Christ, asked by the Lord to "preach to a lost and dying world". The sensational fact of Wilkinson's resurrection rended the Rhode Island "Society of Friends" asunder. Half of the Quakers of Smithfield Meeting House chose to remain privately aloof in personal worship, and half followed the FRIEND on what was to be the most compelling ministry during times of American Nationhood. The FRIEND spent years preaching through Connecticut, and several in the cities in the valley of Philadelphia and Lancaster, PA. The FRIEND never failed win the sincere hearts unto salvation with the Lord; she was equally doomed for the incurrence of others' spite, gossip, and wrath. The FRIEND's words overcame the violence of the American mob, convincing the contentiousness intellects of those times, yet He could not prevent another person' opinion from being freely expressed upon the thought of the Friend. During the 1780's through the Newpres and at arm's distance, unjust men had spoken ill upon the Wilkinson family. During her time in PENNsylvania , the FRIEND the philosophy of the Providence Baptist but kept the habit of the Quakers in her silent congregational worship. The FRIEND professed to be the Brother to all Mankind, "publickly", that every human of every race possesses one Common Father. The German Methodists living in America and the Irish of the York valley saw her visit, riding on a white horse. These humble immigrants heard the message from the FRIEND, an American-born preacher. The FRIEND grew in appeal from prominent men. He preached a life of abstinance and the way to bode familiar within the currents of God while on this earth. The FRIEND was abstinent from the cradle unto the grave, and instructed the highest standard of prudence and individual choice to the Society of Universal FRIENDs. While the FRIEND preached "publickly", His Father saved souls privately. The FRIEND recited the entire Old Testament. By 1789, all the leading men of Philadelphia, the capital city of Amerika, had duly formed an opinion of the FRIEND's work, word, and mission. In 1787, the Friend had aroused enough interest from the fellows of the Society in order that they should seek a place free from opression, where they may be free to raise Children, husband the Farm, and worship in Solitude. Men from the Society of Universal Friends signed for a loan, provisions, and Charles Williamson sold the 23040 acres of land, west of Seneca Lake. On the first day of the 19th century, the Penn Yan grist mill began operations, run by the FRIEND's Brother Elijah. The Friend brought his friends to land on the south shores of Seneca Lake, in the finger lakes region, and with her friends a mill had been built, along with many houses and barns. The Land of the universal x FRIEND's first settlement was nearby Dresden, new York, on the shores of Seneca Lake. The FRIEND moved northwest to Keuka Lake, which is shaped as a ע and often called Crooked Lake. Today, her house on top of Friend Hill still stands, north of the West Branch. This point is located 35 miles due South from Palmyra, called by the FRIEND "New Jerusalem". Worship services were performed at this house in absolute silence, beginning Saturdays at 10 AM in the house of the Friend. The universal x FRIEND wore a man's hat and His two main helpers were Margaret and Rachel Malin. During the service, Rachel sat by the universal x FRIEND's Right Hand and Margaret most often would be seen seated to the Right of the Friend . Service begins when the Friend gave His Hat to Rachel. It was believed that anyone who had committed to relationship with the u†F could experience the energies of the worship, even at a separate residence. The FRIEND was not allowed to OWN PROPERTY. The female "jemima wilkinson" was not allowed to sign for the land called "Friend Hill". "jemima wilkinson" was not recognised by New-york-State as the Leader of the Universal Society of Friends. Finally on the Treaty of Canandaigua, "universal x FRIEND" is no written. The FRIEND provided the Tribes with a Grist Mill and Schools, and this was the demand of "Red Jacket" when HE signed the Treaty for the WOLF TRIBE. The charisma of the FRIEND is renown. The FRIEND was welcoming to travellers of the frontier, passing westward to settle in the Genesee Valley maybe. The Indigenous Iroquois reckognised the Friend as their tribal Chief. He watched over his fellow friends with great care and concern, helping the farmsteads to grow in abundance, fertility, and prosperity. The land is blessed in her Presence & Legacy. The Friend left time on the first of July 1819. Ten years later, the first translation of the BOOK OF MORMON was completed by Joseph Smith on 1 July 1829. Nineteen years after the translation, Seneca Lake would come to be renown as the birthplace of universal humanl rights. Just as the bear can sleep a season and reawaken during the Spring, the Legacy of the FRIEND has slept and now reawakened to guide humanity into the Springtime of Spritual Renaissance of our Planet. Jemima Wilkinson formerly of Cumberland Rhode Island, founder of New Jerusalem
