Wow, we are pretty much here after 60 years. What has been spoken of in Visions of Glory and OT prophecy:
Me just minding my own business listening to conference when Spencer W. Kimball drops the mic! I’ve listened to, watched, or read over 4500 conference talks. NEVER have I ever heard a prophet talk like Kimball did. He said, and I quote:
"Jesus Christ our Lord is under no obligation to save this world. The people have ignored him, disbelieved him, failed to follow him. They stand at his mercy which will be extended only if they repent...
Will we ever turn wholly to God? Fear envelops the world which could be at ease and peace. In God is protection, safety, peace. He has said, "I will fight your battles." But his commitment is on condition of our faithfulness. He promised to the children of Israel:
"I will give you rain in due season,"
The land shall yield her increase and trees their fruit.
Granaries and barns will bulge in seed time and harvest.
Ye shall eat your bread in abundance.
Ye shall dwell in your land safely and none shall make you afraid.
Neither shall the sword go through your land.
And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: . . . (See Leviticus 26:4-6, 8.)
But if you fail to serve me:
The land will be barren, (perhaps radioactive or dry from drought.)
The trees will be without fruit and the fields without verdure.
There will be rationing and a scarcity of food and hunger sore.
No traffic will jam your desolate highways.
Famine will stalk rudely through your doors and the ogre cannibalism will rob you of your children and your remaining virtues.
There will be pestilence uncontrollable.
Your dead bodies will be piled upon the materialistic things you sought so hard to accumulate and save.
I will give no protection against enemies.
They that hate you shall reign over you.
There will be faintness of heart "and the sound of a shaken leaf' shall chase you into flight and you will fall when none pursueth.
Your power — your supremacy — your pride in superiority — will be broken.
Your heaven shall be as iron and your earth as brass. Heaven will not hear your pleadings nor earth bring forth her harvest.
Your strength will be spent in vain as you plow and plant and cultivate.
Your cities will be shambles, your churches in ruins.
Your enemies will be astonished at the barrenness, sterility, desolation of the land they had been told was so choice, so beautiful, so fruitful.
Then shall the land enjoy her Sabbaths under compulsion.
And ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.
And your people will be scattered among the nations as slaves and bondsmen.
You will pay tribute and bondage and fetters shall bind you."
Spencer W. Kimball

Truly WE WERE WARNED.
#WeWereWarned
I certainly hope we are considered a righteous people when we do all that we can to stay on the covenant path, obey the commandments, listen to promptings of the HG and Love the Lord.
