I watched these videos on a friend's blog (thank you Aprilyn for finding these) and I wanted to pass them along to you. Please pass them along to your friends. The time has come and is long past for you and me no longer be complacent about these matters. Listen to the words of the prophets and see for yourselves that they saw our day....
And then Glen Beck played a clip of Ezra Taft Benson from the 1960's and had this to say about our coming socialist country...
Socialism by Degrees
Is Khrushchev right? Are we Americans all mindless dolts? It is not too late, we can do something about it!!! But we can no longer afford to be complacent. Our prophets have warned us and forewarned us sufficiently, but are we listening? Even the Book of Mormon, which was written for our day has something to say about being poisoned by degrees:
In this story, Amalickiah uses treachery, murder, and intrigue to become King of the Lamanites. Lehonti at first refuses to even meet with Amalickiah. But by degrees Amalickiah gains the trust of Lehonti so that he not only comes down from his stronghold or place of power, but he eventually surrenders his power and is poisoned by degrees.
Alma 47:4-18
8 Now it was not Amalickiah’s intention to give them battle according to the commandments of the king; but behold, it was his intention to gain favor with the armies of the Lamanites, that he might place himself at their head and dethrone the king and take possession of the kingdom.
9 And behold, it came to pass that he caused his army to pitch their tents in the valley which was near the mount Antipas.
10 And it came to pass that when it was night he sent a secret embassy into the mount Antipas, desiring that the leader of those who were upon the mount, whose name was Lehonti, that he should come down to the foot of the mount, for he desired to speak with him.
11 And it came to pass that when Lehonti received the message he durst not go down to the foot of the mount. And it came to pass that Amalickiah sent again the second time, desiring him to come down. And it came to pass that Lehonti would not; and he sent again the third time.
12 And it came to pass that when Amalickiah found that he could not get Lehonti to come down off from the mount, he went up into the mount, nearly to Lehonti’s camp; and he sent again the fourth time his message unto Lehonti, desiring that he would come down, and that he would bring his guards with him.
13 And it came to pass that when Lehonti had come down with his guards to Amalickiah, that Amalickiah desired him to come down with his army in the night-time, and surround those men in their camps over whom the king had given him command, and that he would deliver them up into Lehonti’s hands, if he would make him (Amalickiah) a second leader over the whole army.
14 And it came to pass that Lehonti came down with his men and surrounded the men of Amalickiah, so that before they awoke at the dawn of day they were surrounded by the armies of Lehonti.
15 And it came to pass that when they saw that they were surrounded, they plead with Amalickiah that he would suffer them to fall in with their brethren, that they might not be destroyed. Now this was the very thing which Amalickiah desired.
16 And it came to pass that he delivered his men, contrary to the commands of the king. Now this was the thing that Amalickiah desired, that he might accomplish his designs in dethroning the king.
17 Now it was the custom among the Lamanites, if their chief leader was killed, to appoint the second leader to be their chief leader.
18 And it came to pass that Amalickiah caused that one of his servants should administer poison by degrees to Lehonti, that he died.
My friends I am afraid that we have left our stronghold and our position of power and if we are not careful we will be poisoned by degrees. Come Listen to a Prophet's Voice and learn the word of God...Follow the Prophet, he knows the way!
