Heber C. Kimball said....“Will this land be a land of milk and honey? Yes. Missouri is cracked up to be the greatest honey country that there is on the earth; but it will not be many years before they cannot raise a spoonful in that land, nor in Illinois, nor in any other land where they fight against God. Mildew shall come upon their honey, their bees, and their crops; and famine and desolation shall come upon the nation like a whirlwind.” (Journal of Discourses, Vol.5, p.94, Heber C. Kimball, July 26, 1857)

“How on the face of the earth could a man enjoy his religion when he had been told by the Lord how to prepare for a day of famine, when instead of doing so he had fooled away that which would have sustained him and his family” (Deseret News, Mar. 4, 1868, 26).

“[The pioneers] were taught by their leaders to produce, as far as possible, all that they consumed, and to be frugal and not wasteful of their substance. This is still excellent counsel” (“The Pioneer Spirit,” Improvement Era, July 1970, 3).

Prophecies of America
President Wilford Woodruff spoke on America, if America would not repent. He stated....
"I warn future historians to give credence to my history; for my testimony is true, and the truth of its record will be manifest in the world to come. All the words of the Lord will be fulfilled upon the nations, which are written in his book. The American nation will be broken in pieces like a potter's vessel, and will be cast down to hell if it does not repent-and this, because of murders, whoredoms, wickedness, and all manner of abominations, for the Lord has spoken it".
(Matthias F. Cowley, Wilford Woodruff, History of His Life and Labors, pg 500)

President Brigham Young said....
"The Lord would open the earth & swallow up such cities as New York, Boston, Philadelphia and other great cities of the nations and the sea would heave itself beyond its bounds and famines would spread not only over this continent and the Saints will close their eyes upon the scene and their hearts will be fill with pain".
(Ibid. page 251)

The Prophet Joseph Smith....
"Even this nation will be on the verge of crumbling to pieces and tumbling to the ground and when the Constitution is on the brink of ruin this people will be the staff upon which the nation shall lean and they shall bear the Constitution away from the very verge of destruction"
(Joseph Smith Papers, LDS Church Historical Archives, Box 1, March 10th, 1844)

President Herber C. Kimball....
"We will yet save the Constitution of the United States. We will do it, as the Lord liveth, and we will save this nation, every one of them the will be saved. Brother Brigham Young and Brother Joseph Smith stand at our head, and will do that thing, as the Lord liveth. Yes, we, as their children, with our children to assist us, will do it. We have got the power, and so have they, and will bear the kingdom off victoriously to every nation that is upon God's footstool; and I know it".
(Heber C. Kimball, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 5, September 6, 1856, pg. 216)
