A modern Amalickiah in our midst continues to usurp power and authority by fraud and deceit, gaining the hearts of some by pretending to insure peace and security even as he incites endless wars and instability (both foreign and domestic). Engaging in countless secret embassies with his cohorts (and our enemies), he negotiates to share power and control, even as he beguiles his feckless political opponents into submission that he might more easily destroy and neutralize them. He dissembles and prevaricates, sowing dissention and division, discord and distraction among the people that he might more easily lead them to destruction for his own gain and purposes. He uses the law to defy the law and overthrow the liberty of the people.
He is a Gadianton robber and a modern-day "king-man", a socialist who envisions himself as an aristocrat, a monarch, if you will, "worthy" and "entitled" to lead the people -- perhaps even the whole world! -- while living off her labors. He does not love this country, but seeks to transform her to further his megalomaniacal, globalist objectives. With his cohorts, he has invited, inspired, enabled and manipulated tens of millions of "Lamanites" to invade our lands and cross our borders. With them, he has taken control of many of our principal cities. He has installed himself with his minions in positions of power to insure that his policies and programs remain in place, depriving citizens of essential protections and freedoms. He is one of many modern anti-Christs and false prophets among us.
Like the Nephites, America is now being overthrown, hollowed out from within.
A "full end of all nations" is underway. I have long recognized that America's borders remain unprotected so that America's modern "ruling class" (progressives, "secret combinations" and modern "king-men" of all stripes and parties) could more easily replace outlawed black slaves with illegal brown ones. (This practice is now being "legalized" and exported globally.) The "end game" is to make slaves of all of us.

Those aware of the "signs of the times" are either gladdened and emboldened by this wickedness or greatly saddened, losing almost all hope. Thus it must be until every nation, kindred, tongue and people come to realize that only Jesus Christ can save us. After much travail and suffering on our part, every knee shall bow and tongue confess that Jesus is the Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords.
There is no "military option" that can save us. Even righteous Captain Moroni and mighty General Mormon could not, in the end, rescue a wayward nation from self destruction. Only prophets. (And, sometimes, not even they can successfully inspire people to repent.)
The greatest political lesson of the Book of Mormon is that those formerly enlightened by the gospel who take up arms against their neighbor in wars of aggression are ultimately destroyed thereby.

Their record has been given to us that we might learn that lesson.
A modern prophet likewise warned and encouraged:
68 And it shall come to pass among the wicked, that every man that will not take his sword against his neighbor must needs flee unto Zion for safety.
69 And there shall be gathered unto it out of every nation under heaven; and it shall be the only people that shall not be at war one with another.
70 And it shall be said among the wicked: Let us not go up to battle against Zion, for the inhabitants of Zion are terrible; wherefore we cannot stand.
71 And it shall come to pass that the righteous shall be gathered out from among all nations, and shall come to Zion, singing with songs of everlasting joy. (D&C 45:68-71.)
Your thoughts are cogent and sobering. I beg God for strength you do right. Chris H.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your thoughts. It mirrors many of us out here. I know many who are growing discouraged and depressed by the depravity and insanity they see all around. It is like the whole world has lost its moorings. The moral base of a free society has been kicked out from under us. The great promise of protection on this nation cannot remain in place when a people place themselves as gods who are not accountable to the great God of Heaven. It makes my heart hurt to see what is happening, though I know it has been prophesied to be so when a people turn away from God.
ReplyDeleteI gain heart when I read of those, such as yourself, out there who remind us of what is and what is yet to be.
We must continue to focus on the beautiful, the lovely and of
good report and praiseworthy, even as we are awake and aware of the flood of filth and depravity that is sweeping over this once moral, and great nation.
