The last prophet in the Book of Mormon, named Moroni, was shown a vision of the wickedness of the American Gentiles who are in this land.
(This was about 401 A.D.)
He was finishing up the record of his father, Mormon, who was killed in the battle of Cumorah, in Central America, and he was now the only one left with the records of his people.
He kept going north so he would not be killed and ended up in the area which is now called New York, where he recorded more on the records and buried them.
He was the Angel Moroni who instructed the Prophet Joseph Smith where he had buried the plates. After that, this area was known as the Hill Comorah.
35 Behold, I speak unto you as if ye were present, and yet ye are not. But
behold, Jesus Christ hath shown you unto me, and I know your doing. (He is talking to us in this day, in this country because that is where he was.)
36 And I know that ye do walk in the pride of your hearts; and there are none save a few only who do not lift themselves up in the pride of their hearts, unto the wearing of very fine apparel, unto envying, and strifes, and malice, and persecutions, and all manner of iniquities....
He could see the problems we would be having in keeping our freedoms and liberty, along with the rest of the world.
The Prophet Ether said:
ETHER 8: 23-25
23 Wherefore, O ye Gentiles, it is wisdom in God that these things should be shown unto you, that thereby ye may repent of your sins, and suffer not that these murderous combinations shall get above you, which are built up to get power and gain—and the work, yea, even the work of destruction come upon you, yea, even the sword of the justice of the Eternal God shall fall upon you, to your overthrow and destruction if ye shall suffer these things to be.
(Unfortunately, I feel we are a little late, and if you look at conditions today, you will know what I mean)
24 Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this secret combination which shall be among you; or wo be unto it.....
25 For it cometh
to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands,
nations, and countries; and it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people,
for it is built up by the devil, who is the father of all lies; even that same
liar who beguiled our first parents, yea, even that same liar who hath caused
man to commit murder from the beginning; who hath hardened the hearts of men
that they have murdered the prophets, and stoned them, and cast them out from
the beginning.
The Prophet Nephi saw that the gentiles would be powerful in this nation.
12 And I looked and beheld a man among the Gentiles, who was separated from the
seed of my brethren by the many waters; and I beheld the Spirit of God, that it
came down and wrought upon the man; and he went forth upon the many waters, even
unto the seed of my brethren, who were in the promised land. (Columbus)
13 And it came to pass that I beheld the Spirit of God, that it wrought upon
other Gentiles; and they went forth out of captivity, upon the many waters. (the Pilgrims)
14 And it came to pass that I beheld many multitudes of the Gentiles upon the land of promise; and I beheld the wrath of God, that it was upon the seed of my brethren; and they were scattered before the Gentiles and were smitten.
(seed of Nephi's brethren were the Indians, known as the Lamanites in the Book of Mormon- descendants of his older brother, Laman).
15 And I beheld
the Spirit of the Lord, that it was upon the Gentiles, and they did prosper and
obtain the land for their inheritance; and I beheld that they were white, and
exceedingly fair and beautiful, like unto my people before they were slain.
16 And it came
to pass that I, Nephi, beheld that the Gentiles who had gone forth out of
captivity did humble themselves before the Lord; and the power of the Lord was
with them.
17 And I beheld
that their mother Gentiles were gathered together upon the waters, and upon the
land also, to battle against them. (Great Britain-Revolutionary War)
18 And I beheld
that the power of God was with them, and also that the wrath of God was upon all
those that were gathered together against them to battle. (God was with the Founding Fathers)
19 And I, Nephi,
beheld that the Gentiles that had gone out of captivity were delivered by the
power of God out of the hands of all other nations.
5 But, said he, notwithstanding our afflictions, we have obtained a land of
promise, a land which is choice above all other lands; a land which the Lord God
hath covenanted with me should be a land for the inheritance of my seed. Yea,
the Lord hath covenanted this land unto me, and to my children forever, and also
all those who should be led out of other countries by the hand of the Lord.
The lord told all His prophets that the gentiles would not inherit the land unless they accepted the Restored Gospel when it came.
IT IS HERE NOW.
HOPE THEY WILL ACCEPT IT, OTHERWISE, THEY WILL NOT INHERIT THIS LAND.
21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
Jesus Christ saw what is happening now, in our day in America and said:
3 NEPHI 16: 10
10 And thus commandeth the Father that I should say unto you: At that day when the Gentiles shall sin against my gospel, and shall reject the fulness of my gospel, and shall be lifted up in the pride of their hearts above all nations, and above all the people of the whole earth, and shall be filled with all manner of lyings, and of deceits, and of mischiefs, and all manner of hypocrisy, and murders, and priestcrafts, and whoredoms, and of secret abominations; and if they shall do all those things, and shall reject the fulness of my gospel, behold, saith the Father, I will bring the fulness of my gospel from among them.
This meant that He would remove the gospel and the missionaries from among the Gentiles.
