Ignorant or Evil?

Considering the kinds of decisions people in power are currently making that make reason stare, one may indeed wonder whether these persons are totally ignorant or just plain evil. Not only that, but the question arises of how to respond to a leadership that seems hell bent to destroy the very fabric of civilization and carry others with them to whatever place they are headed.

Surely, Latter-day Saints have been more blessed than all other inhabitants on earth to possess the Book of Mormon with its scriptural patterns depicting just such a society as we are seeing today. That book’s emphasis on the words of Isaiah additionally points us to the actual end-time scenario itself, complete with the main villains and protagonists who act out its drama.

Many near death experiences with which God has blessed his children for the most part confirm these scriptures and prophecies. All divine data combined remonstrate against the idea that evils currently foisted on society stem from ignorance. As evildoing breeds ignorance in its perpetrators, however, those who love and serve God will have the upper hand in dealing with it.

A tragic aspect of these alarming developments is that many among us seem entirely unaware of the pit being dug by the church of the devil to destroy the saints. How is it so many Christian brothers and sisters of all races are seeing and warning against these things while for the most part we aren’t? Has every man’s warning his neighbor now also become politically incorrect?
