THE REASON FOR CLEANSING THE EARTH

I am putting together research for my end of  the world ppt presentation.  When you discuss an overt act by someone, you always have to have a motive for them to complete this act.  Rarely is anything just random.  These are the two reasons the earth will be cleansed again:

 5 ¶And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

 6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

 7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

 9 ¶These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

 10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

 11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

 12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.

 13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

The earth had become corrupted by violence (spilled blood by murderous combinations, such as with Cain and Abel).

 The other reason is homosexuality; that is fully supported by the people (who do not forcefully, if not legally remove these corrupt sacks from office) and codified into law as has happened today (even in Utah):

    MARRYING AND GIVING IN MARRIAGE - STATE SANCTIONING OF HOMOSEXUALITY


Click the link above......   So the people had set about to do the bidding of the adversary in attempting to twist and defile two God-given powers that are only to be used with permission under very strict protocols, if used at all.  The giving of life - and the taking of life.  Remember, the first commandment given to man was to multiply and replenish the earth.  If you are homosexual, it is not possible to fulfill the measure of the creation of this earth.  If you are committing random acts of violence and the Spirit of the Lord no longer strives with man, then you will eventually end up as the Nephites, the Jaredites and who knows how many other cultures of the earth, whose buildings lie in decay and ruin and whose disappearance is the subject of speculation, because their conquerors left no record of their demise.

There is a third reason for utter destruction, that is apparently an outgrowth of homosexuality and sexual promiscuity in general, and is what causes violence - in the absence of charity.  It is gleaned from the account of Sodom and Gomorrah and the commentary on it:

Uncontrolled lust:

4 ¶But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:

 5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.

When you take what is most precious from someone (even with their consent), you are committing an act of violence against their spirit.

And lack of charity in the face of abundance: 

Ezekiel 16:49
49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

This is the test of abundance that Brother Brigham worried that the Saints would not be able to pass..... I am worried that his worry was not without justification.....  When we quit looking out for our brothers and sisters and our charity becomes weak or non-existent, the vacuum that is created within our souls is filled with violence.  The greatest thing we can teach our children is to serve each other and then their fellow-man.  It keeps the ravenous wolf of violence from the door, and as armies bear down upon this nation and the righteous are gathered together for protection, it will be only those who have learned to be charitable who will survive, or who will merit Father's protection in order that they will make it into the portal of the Millennium to carry on the work that will exist on the other side.

In the world in general and in this nation (more and more as the middle class evaporates), we have the governing elite and the working poor.  If we are among the governing elite, spending time in our practicing paganism in our groves and grinding upon the face of the poor, then we fit the model for destruction.

Folks, this nation's goose is officially cooked.....  I give it no more than 18 months til the curtain falls.  A generation of vipers shall not escape the damnations of hell.
