Good stuff. Nephi said that John would tell the end of the story of America. That means the book of Revelations is the story of America. Also, I believe the best description of the anti christ/little horn is America. The little horn is about to make war with the saints over the homosexual issue. By changing marriage, the little horn "forgave" sodomy by making it legal and at the same time made Christianity illegal. The little horn is also about to be consumed by flames, Joseph Smith's account of Moroni's description of the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel was "by they who burn them" America is also mystery Babylon, the city Babylon. I am going on the assumption you are following me here with out alot of explanation. Also, the abomination of desolation spoken of by daniel is gods judgment on the lds people for breaking their covenants with him. Christ mentions desolation two different ways in Matt 24. just take desolation and replace it with "genocide" or a depopulation of people. There will be many genocides but only one abomination of desolation. historically it requires an operating temple to be defiled and for the priesthood holders to replace the true God by making their own god in their own image. Hence, god picks marigolds, there is no doom and gloom. Preppers are to be scorned and there is only one part to the parable of the 5 virgins, spirituality. I am sorry but in 17 miracles the saints could not eat their spirituality and subsequently starved on their trek west. No one who bought what the church recommended starved. they had ample supplies and were able to feed themselves when they arrived in slc. What good is spirituality if you cant feed yourself. Well this was a long a-d-d rant. God speed. Wade
To add to this I would include "The mystery of iniquity" spoken of in Revelation and the BOM as being the secret combination we are warned concerning not allowing it to get "above" us.
Joseph Smith called out a cleansing of the church that must precede the establishment of Zion proper. He also commented on the "Mystery of iniquity" in which he stated was "Already" at work prior to the Man of sin being revealed for who he is and that the mystery consisted of a Secret Combination working among us like in the days described in the BOM concerning the Gadianton Robbers..
The word "above" used to describe this same mystery in the BOM is a reference to leadership that is established "above" the congregation. Our charge given in the BOM was to "not allow" this to happen but it apparently does because eventually the Man of Sin becomes established in God's temple and is eventually exposed by the Lord in it's due time.
2 Thessalonians also defines the reason why the Lord allows this Man and Mysterious Secret Combination to continue to work for a time until the time comes for it's exposure. It is for the purpose that "they", (meaning the congregation), might believe a lie. A lie promulgated by WHO ?
Now why would the Lord desire such a deception upon us if we are called His People ? This would suggest that most of us are only His People in name but not in deed and a separation must take place between the Righteous & the Wicked among the Lord's People before Zion could ever be established.
It becomes a matter of the choice we make to either follow the established Secret Combination in it's deceptive cause to being down the Lord's People, or to follow the "Man like unto Moses/The One Mighty & Strong leader to whom the Lord Himself, from His Presence, will send to oppose this evil.
Is this not very plain language defining the root of the problems within the church that will eventually effect us all ? It began "ABOVE" us and has worked it's evil way down through our ranks until such time the Lord deems it is time to separate the Wheat from the Tares & as sec. 112 informs us must begin within the Lord's own house.
And who else would be defined as the Man of Sin seating himself in God's Temple as though he were God ? Who else builds temples recognized by God as being His own ? Is it not consistent to think that Satan will eventually inhabit the body of one of our chosen leaders in order to once again attempt to throw down the House of God, as was attempted in our Preexistent past and was necessary to cast him out of God's House ?
Just thinking, given the facts we have been presented in the scriptures that would CERTAINLY oppose popular opinions of the majority of the saints who could never accept such a thing as being true....
