I can only imagine this is what is talked about in the Book of Mormon when the Lamanites rise up like a lion amongst the lambs and create carnage and badness:

There is something sinister behind this action and the previous action of bummer releasing all the hispanic riff-raff from prison a short while ago.
We are being set up, folks!

It is time to get out of the population centers, off the coasts and head for places God has shown you. That is my impression.

ReplyDelete3 Nephi 20:16 says, "Then shall ye, who are a remnant of the house of Jacob, go forth among them; and ye shall be in the midst of them who shall be many; and ye shall be among them as a lion among the beasts of the forest, and as a young lion among the flocks of sheep, who, if he goeth through both treadeth down and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver."
Having grown up in a ranching area with a mountain lion problem, I have a unique perspective on the imagery in the scripture.
Normally when a cougar/lion kills a sheep, it kills only one, then drags it off and eats it over the course of a week or two. It's hard to notice that the cat has even been there when it's one sheep out of a hundred or two.
One of our neighbors lived in a relatively narrow area between the river and the rocky hillside. Their sheep corral was fenced on three sides, using a 15-foot-high sheer rock section of the hill as the fourth side. This neighbor woke up one day and discovered mass carnage in the corral; ten or fifteen sheep were dead, with mountain lion tracks all around.
Why the difference in quantity?
Turns out that a mother had been out teaching her young lions how to kill. In that case, they kill just to kill: for the sake of practice, not for food.
"as a young lion among the flocks of sheep"...
