1st Nephi 2:20
And inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall prosper, and shall be led to a land of promise; yea, even a land which I have prepared for you; yea, a land which is choice above all other lands.
What would that scripture mean to us today, If it were quoted from an apostle of the Lord? (Recently)Please any insight is welcome.

Perhaps we are going to see the unrighteous swept off this continent soon? I think we will see Gay Marriage Laws take full effect in the next few years. I think then, the gloves will be off and the promise in the Proclamation to the World will be fulfilled and we will see "the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets."

This is a promise that is totally conditional....that great big word IF is the key.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Twelve or one of the Pres'y address this very thing soon.

I believe that we have been told but many are just not listening. Hence, we have many in the Church who still think that "all is well".

Why would a modern day G.A. saying it today have more weight then Mormon quoting the Lord years ago?

Some saints don't like to listen to dead prophets.
