THE DESCENDANTS OF JACOB SHALL TEAR THEM TO PIECES

I have to say, I have long looked at this prophecy in the Book of Mormon as one of the most difficult to fulfill - looking at the historical state of the native American tribes.  It has just seemed so improbable - until lately, as our nation seems to be rife with division and problems and we are now ready for the judgments of God to descend upon us:

REMNANT SHALL TEAR THEM TO PIECES

I know that the Book of Mormon (and all her prophecies) shall be fulfilled ever jot and every tittle.  The verse above was written by Moroni who had just witnessed his entire people being mowed down by the vengeful Lamanites (in what is never spoken of in polite circles of as a race war of total annihilation).   He read the prophecies of 3rd Nephi that the Savior had uttered - and said that those very same things would happen to us in our day - the same that had happened in his day when those chosen ones let go of the iron rod, etc..

And I know that this individual saw our day - the second Civil War that is coming which will lead to the remnant of Jacob being able to mow down the weak and the wicked who have lost their spiritual and physical strength.  The wicked will kill the wicked at that point.  Looking at the gang problem in LA and the angst of the members of La Raza and those who desire Atzlan, it will be a horror for those who have to deal with them who have not been safely gathered out.  They will be vicious.  The righteous descendants of Jacob (Manasseh) who have chosen the Lord as their guide, of course, will be a boon to the Saints and will largely be responsible for building up the New Jerusalem. The wicked, however, will be relentless and bloody in their race war of total annihilation once again.

Having read the prophecies of what is coming, those who have gathered to safety in the mountains will be afflicted, as well, by the gangs who will prowl like wolves picking off the weak and unprotected.  The laws set down by people at that time will have to be "zero tolerance" towards gang activity, looting, etc, or they will be over-run by those of gadiantonesque behavior.   Summary executions will be the norm until things stabilize once again and Zion begins to flower and prosper after the initial destructions and purgings have passed.

Here is the prophecy that I have been alluding to:

Millennial Star:
This generation shall be visited by an overflowing scourge. Of the precise nature of it we are not informed. It shall pass over the nations night and day. The affect of this visitation will be so direful and calamitous that the reports of its terrible ravages will fill all people with vexation. The operations of this fear-inspiring and destructive agent will continue until the appearance of the Lord in his glory.
Some of the judgment are definite as to locality. As an instance may be cited the approaching disruption of the Unites States of America. One of the horrors announced by the prophet upon that nation is now a matter of history the war of the Rebellion. Another and more appalling condition awaits that ill-fated people. It shall fall upon them like the visitation of a whirlwind, sweeping the country like a mighty flood. The populace will be divided into innumerable factions, and blood, carnage and woe will be rampant among them, filling the hearts of the more peacefully disposed with fear and dismay. Many will laugh at such a prediction, but, unless the people repent, it will come as surely as night follows day. Weakened and powerless from internal broils and disturbances, the nation will become a prey to the remnants left of the aboriginal inhabitants, who will be filled with vengeful rage at the wrongs that have been perpetrated upon them and furiously spread destruction in every direction. 13 Sept., 1880, p. 584-587. 

This should not strike fear in your heart - fear is not of God.  It should however, empower you to make the necessary changes in your life in order to be ready to face what comes shortly.
