I was looking through D&C 121 when I was talking principles with my co-worker/fellow thinker.
I could not help but think of how this is the Lord's pronouncement of a curse upon those who had thrown innocents in a disgusting prison in Liberty, Missouri (of all the oxymorons....).
7 My son, apeace be unto thy soul; thine badversity and thine afflictions shall be but a csmall moment;
8 And then, if thou aendure it well, God shall exalt thee on high; thou shalt triumph over all thy bfoes.
9 Thy afriends do stand by thee, and they shall hail thee again with warm hearts and friendly hands.
10 Thou art not yet as Job; thy afriends do not contend against thee, neither charge thee with transgression, as they did Job.
11 And they who do charge thee with transgression, their hope shall be blasted, and their prospects shall amelt away as the hoar frost melteth before the burning rays of the rising sun;
12 And also that God hath set his hand and seal to change the atimes and seasons, and to blind their bminds, that they may not understand his cmarvelous workings; that he may dprove them also and take them in their own craftiness;
13 Also because their hearts are corrupted, and the things which they are willing to bring upon others, and love to have others suffer, may come upon athemselves to the very uttermost;
14 That they may be adisappointed also, and their hopes may be cut off;
15 And not many years hence, that they and their aposterity shall be bswept from under heaven, saith God, that not one of them is left to stand by the wall.
16 aCursed are all those that shall lift up the bheel against mine canointed, saith the Lord, and cry they have dsinned when they have not sinned before me, saith the Lord, but have done that which was meet in mine eyes, and which I commanded them.
17 But athose who cry transgression do it because they are the servants of sin, and are the bchildren of disobedience themselves.
18 And those who aswear bfalsely against my servants, that they might bring them into bondage and death—
19 Wo unto them; because they have aoffended my little ones they shall be severed from the bordinances of mine house.
20 Their abasket shall not be full, their houses and their barns shall perish, and they themselves shall be bdespised by those that flattered them.
21 They shall not have right to the apriesthood, nor their posterity after them from generation to generation.
22 It had been abetter for them that a millstone had been hanged about their necks, and they drowned in the depth of the sea.
23 Wo unto all those that adiscomfort my people, and drive, and bmurder, and testify against them, saith the Lord of Hosts; a cgeneration of vipers shall not escape the damnation of hell.
24 Behold, mine eyes asee and know all their works, and I have in reserve a swift bjudgment in the season thereof, for them all;
25 For there is a atime bappointed for every man, according as his cworks shall be.
26 God shall give unto you aknowledge by his Holy bSpirit, yea, by the unspeakable cgift of the Holy Ghost, that has not been drevealed since the world was until now;
27 Which our forefathers have awaited with aanxious expectation to be revealed in the last times, which their minds were pointed to by the angels, as held in reserve for the fulness of their glory;
I put my trust in God and wait for Him to mete out what is coming. I warn people that I march to a different drummer (if they are not fully inculcated/immersed in God's ways) and then let the chips fall where they may.
We will all work in accordance with the economy of the Millennium soon enough. Best that we figure out how it works now, instead of later....
