Joseph Smith translated a book that held the history of a fallen nation on this continent. Whether you believe in the Book of Mormon or not, the following is a chilling depiction of what is happening in our country right now.
Ether 8:22
And whatsoever anation shall uphold such secret combinations, to get power and gain, until they shall spread over the nation, behold, they shall be destroyed; for the Lord will not suffer that the bblood of his saints, which shall be shed by them, shall always cry unto him from the ground for cvengeance upon them and yet he avenge them not.
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 apower and gain—and the work, yea, even the work of bdestruction 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.
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 asecret combination which shall be among you; or wo be unto it, because of the blood of them who have been slain; for they cry from the dust for vengeance upon it, and also upon those who built it up.
25 For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the afreedom 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 bbeguiled our first parents, yea, even that same liar who hath caused man to commit murder from the beginning; who hath chardened the hearts of men that they have dmurdered the prophets, and stoned them, and cast them out from the beginning.
The Gentiles are the inhabitants of this continent and every Christian-based European nation. The person who wrote this, the Prophet Moroni, viewed the people of the United States as non-hebrew, non jewish, not of the house of Israel.
Consider, according to the Bible, whether you are a Jew or a Gentile. The gospel of Jesus Christ was first administered unto the Jews in Palestine, and then went to the Gentiles in the old world. This started the Christian religion which is the most prevalent in the world today. However, Christianity fractured from the true church and became thousands of different variants.
This prophet saw the looming destruction of the Gentiles on this continent. The Book of Mormon was written as a warning to not let oath-bound secret combinations to take over the country. If you were to read the book, it would teach you how certain political groups sought power and authority over others. How they committed to murder, steal, and cheat. However, the most important thing they did was to protect each other. It was a crime in their secret society to divulge the activities of others.
Are we a nation led by a secret combination? Does it seem that certain judges are promoting lies and falsehoods, criminalizing good people, and vindicating others? I leave it to you to decide.
