I cannot help but laugh at the folly of those who, in Lehi's day, chastised him and harrassed him to the point that his life was in danger. Lehi was NO MAJOR PROPHET. He simply was a descendant of Joseph - and we all know what gifts accompany that lineage (especially Mannasseh). But he was out there, in the foray of pre-Babylonian Jerusalem warning and calling to repentance. Doing what we (at least the males) covenant to do in order to release us from the blood and sins of this generation as we wield the sword of Truth and Justice - just as we did in the pre-Mortal realms (the fact that you are here at this juncture in history, attests to that). The women rid themselves of the blood and sins of this generation by virtue of bringing life into the world and raising that life in truth and righteousness. The women put it on the altar as they give birth and sacrifice for these young lives. The men manifest their lealty through other means.
But, for sure, there were those in Lehi's day who sought to put him down because he was not Jeremiah, or because he was an outsider, or whatever the reason may have been. The fact is: they were proven wrong.
I have seen lately on social media, attempts to tear down the witness of Thomas Harrison (Visions of Glory). I am not sure what their motives are - but there is a real effort out there to invalidate what he has to say of our future. The fact is this, as I know it: There will be massive destruction amongst the Saints who have allowed the Gadiantons to get above them and who uphold the secret combinations because they love their things and sins more than they love God. The folks who are going after VoG see this as a threat to their "All is well in Zion" narrative. Admitting that the VoG narrative could happen, would imply that a Just God is displeased with the overall state of affairs of His people. This would mean that a state of repentance and change is in order. For some, this reality is just too much. For it is easier to cast a stone at a prophet or even a Prophet, than it is to repent and change course. This very thing is often at the root of split personalities and much else in the mental health arena. It is easier for the mind to create a split reality - than for it to admit wrong-doing and then go about the necessary steps for change.
Sometimes, when one is in a place of power, it is easier to slander someone with less social standing (calling them a polygamist in today's social climate would qualify) in order to diminish their message. But, I can assure you that their folly shall be made manifest in due time and in order for them to progress, they will have to seek out forgiveness from those they have wronged. It is very simple. For those who have ridiculed the Book of Mormon, they will have to repent in the only way possible on the other side, and then seek out the approval of the key players in that narrative and who were responsible for it's existence including Joseph Smith. Depending on the amount of knowledge they had when they rejected the truth, it will take that much effort to get back to a good place.
I have seen the nuke that hits Ogden (HAFB). I have been led to understand the reality of much of the destruction that Thomas Harrison saw. Bishop Koyle testified of much of the same and the Spirit ratified much of his testimony to me. Either my Spirit is off, or theirs is. Knowing that, what the Spirit has given utterance to me has become reality, I would much rather rely on the version I have been given than their "nothing burger" of a testimony.
Time will tell.
I had people mocking me for almost two decades on my stance that Russia and China will be a thing here on our soil. It seemed impossible even to me in the mid-2000s. Now, the events are screaming at me of their imminence. Who will be the fool with their head crushed under the black boot of a conquering soldier? With no food or way to navigate that reality? Sorry, but I refuse to let me or mine fall into that reality so long as I have any say in the matter.
