Amlici and Freedom

This being veterans day I thought it appropriate to blog about freedom and the sacrifices it takes to keep freedom.

Right now our country is fighting to keep our freedoms.  But it is not a foreign war, it is a fight from within.  A civil war.  It is not a literal war yet but a political war.  A war of truth, right, liberty, freedom, patriotism, and overall good.  Fighting against lies, wrong, captivity, socialism/communism, treachery and overall evil.  It is good versus evil.  Freedom versus captivity.

President Trump is fighting for all that is good and right.  Joe Biden and the Democrats are fighting for power to control the people and power to destroy the country.

What's happening right now is very similar to a story in The Book of Mormon. Here is the excerpt of which I speak:

Alma 2:1-10 (Around 87 B.C.)

1 And it came to pass in the commencement of the fifth year of their reign there began to be a contention among the people; for a certain man, being called Amlici, he being a very cunning man, yea, a wise man as to the wisdom of the world, he being after the order of the man that slew Gideon by the sword, who was executed according to the law—

2 Now this Amlici had, by his cunning, drawn away much people after him; even so much that they began to be very powerful; and they began to endeavor to establish Amlici to be a king over the people.

3 Now this was alarming to the people of the church, and also to all those who had not been drawn away after the persuasions of Amlici; for they knew that according to their law that such things must be established by the voice of the people.

4 Therefore, if it were possible that Amlici should gain the voice of the people, he, being a wicked man, would deprive them of their rights and privileges of the church; for it was his intent to destroy the church of God.

5 And it came to pass that the people assembled themselves together throughout all the land, every man according to his mind, whether it were for or against Amlici, in separate bodies, having much dispute and wonderful contentions one with another.

6 And thus they did assemble themselves together to cast in their voices concerning the matter; and they were laid before the judges.

7 And it came to pass that the voice of the people came against Amlici, that he was not made king over the people.

8 Now this did cause much joy in the hearts of those who were against him; but Amlici did stir up those who were in his favor to anger against those who were not in his favor.

9 And it came to pass that they gathered themselves together, and did consecrate Amlici to be their king.

10 Now when Amlici was made king over them he commanded them that they should take up arms against their brethren; and this he did that he might subject them to him.

Is it not eerie how similar that story is to what's going on today?

Just replace Amilici with Biden (or Democrats -- who are really behind the fraud).  Replace church with government, country or United States of America. It's exactly what's happening right now.

The Democrats have drawn away many people with their cunning deceptions.  Those of us not deceived, are alarmed by what is happening.  The Democrats know that in this country power is gained by the voice of the people, elections.  The Democrats, being wicked, know that if they could obtain the election (by any means including fraud) they could control the people.  Their goal being to deprive the people of their rights and privileges (freedoms) thereby destroying the country.

So, they hold a vote and, lo and behold, they lose.  This makes the Democrats very angry.  So they claimed that they won anyway and declared Joe Biden president. Because of their anger they fight against their fellow citizens -- destroy, loot, riot.

Sounds about right, doesn't it?

We are fighting to keep our freedoms.  That's why so many people are praying for President Trump and our country. Even many foreigners are praying for us. The world knows what is at stake here. Freedom is at stake. Agency or freedom to make our own choices is central to God's plan.  It's worth fighting to the death over.

Thankfully we have a president, President Donald J. Trump, who is willing to fight to the bitter end for us, to preserve our freedoms and our great nation.  I hope and pray that truth and right will prevail and this election will be given to it's rightful owner, President Donald J. Trump, who worked hard to earn every vote, and without fraud, won in a landslide.

If evil does prevail this time, and Biden is fraudulently awarded the presidency, look for Christ to come again very soon. And be ready to lose our democracy/republic as we know it.

But don't give up hope.  It's not over till it's over.  As Yogi Berra famously said.  Keep praying for President Trump and these great United States of America!

That's my two cents.

Here is a six minute very informative video that includes the story I just quoted from The Book of Mormon.
