“Hear me, you who know righteousness, O people in whose heart is my law: Do not fear the reproach of men; be undaunted by their ridicule. For the moth shall consume them like a garment; moths shall devour them like wool. But my righteousness shall endure forever, my salvation through endless generations.” (Isaiah 51:7–8) “Because […]

Is anyone paying attention to the fact that so far we have received only “a lesser part of the things which he [Jesus] taught the people”—that since the prophet Joseph Smith we have been on trial to see if we will believe the things that have been extended to us (3 Nephi 26:6–11)? If not,

“The path of the righteous is straight; you pave an undeviating course for the upright. In the very passage of your ordinances we anticipate you, O Jehovah; the soul’s desire is to contemplate your name. My soul yearns for you in the night; at daybreak my spirit within me seeks after you. For when your

Given that end-time scriptures define the house of Israel as the Jews, Ten Tribes, and Lamanites, and Latter-day Saints as “the Gentiles” or “fulness of the Gentiles” (melo’ haggoyim), it is no surprise that millennial prophecies reserve the blessings of God’s covenants specifically for the house of Israel and those affiliated with them such as

“This is to me as in the days of Noah, when I swore that the waters of Noah would no more flood the earth. So I swear to have no more anger toward you, never again to rebuke you. For the mountains shall be removed and the hills collapse with shaking, but my charity toward

Jesus’ saying that he came to bring “division” on the earth—so much that families would divide against themselves (Luke 12:51–53)—in no way contradicted his most solemn prayer that his disciples might be one in him as he is one in the Father (John 17). It merely affirmed that the truth he personified would act as

The Jewish historian Josephus recounts how a kind of psychosis and barbarity overcame the Jews around 70 A.D., when a million perished at the hands of the Romans. As the world’s end-time scenario sees a recurrence of all past evils, we may expect to see—and do already see—a similar spiritual, emotional, and mental imbalance in

“Their feet rush after evil; they hasten to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are preoccupied with mischief; havoc and disaster follow in their wake. They are unacquainted with the way of perfection; integrity is not within their bounds. They have made crooked their paths; none who treads them knows peace.” (Isaiah 59:7–8) “Jehovah of Hosts

Rue the day that a great nation such as ours should descend into a culture of carnality that marks a spiritual point of no return! When the eternal principles established by God on which this nation was founded are replaced with ones the same God articulated as abominations, we must know—from where the prophet Isaiah

“Your palms are defiled with blood, your fingers with iniquity; your lips speak guile, your tongue utters duplicity. None calls for righteousness; no one sues for an honest cause. They rely on empty words, deceitfully spoken; they conceive misdeeds, they beget wickedness. They hatch vipers’ eggs and spin spiders’ webs; whoever eats of their eggs

“Thus says the Lord who created the heavens, the God who formed the earth—who made it secure and organized it, not to remain a chaotic waste, but designed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord, there is none other.” (Isaiah 45:18) “It is I who made the earth and created man upon it; I

“Come near, you nations, and hear! Pay attention, you peoples! Let the earth give heed, and all who are upon it, the world, and all who spring from it. Jehovah’s rage is upon all nations, his fury upon all their hosts; he has doomed them, consigned them to the slaughter. . . . When my
