And that law of the land which is constitutional, supporting that
principle of freedom in maintaining rights and privileges, belongs to all
mankind, and is justifiable before me.
Therefore, I, the Lord, justify you, and your brethren of my
church, in befriending that law which is the constitutional law of the
land; and as pertaining to law of man, whatsoever is more or less than
this cometh of evil. 2. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty. 2
Cor 3:17 3.
When the wicked rule, the people mourn.
4. Read
all of D&C 123 regarding our responsibilities, 5. I say unto you that the enemy in the secret chambers seeketh your lives. Ye hear of wars in far countries, and you say that there will soon be great wars in far countries, but ye know not the hearts of men in your own land. I tell these things because of your prayers; wherefore, treasure up wisdom in your bosoms, lest the wickedness of men reveal these things unto you by their wickedness, in a manner which shall speak in your ears with a voice louder than that which shall shake the earth; but if ye are prepared ye shall not fear. And that ye might escape the power of the enemy, and be gathered unto me a righteous people without spot and blameless.
D&C
38:28-31
6. The Church is
warned against the secret combination which shall seek to overthrow the
freedom of all lands, nations, and countries. ((CN:
Chapter Heading))
And whatsoever nation 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 blood of his saints,
which shall be shed by them, shall always cry unto him from the ground for
vengeance upon them and yet he avenge them not.
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, 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.
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, and wo be
unto it, because of the blood of them who have been slain;
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 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. Wherefore,
I, Moroni, am commanded to write these things. 7.
He that does not anything until he is commanded, and receiveth
a commandment with a doubtful heart, and keepeth it with slothfulness, the
same is damned
8. And for this purpose have I
established the
Let not that which I have appointed be polluted by such laws are framed and held inviolate as will secure to each individual the free exercise of conscience, the right and control of property, and the protection of life. D&C 134:2
