I am grateful for this Land and Lehi's valiant spirit and the fact that he followed the direction of the Lord !! I am grateful for the scriptures which tesify of Christ !! And this land which he tesitified that no man would come here that was not lead of the Lord !! He tells us if we are righteous we shall never fall !! May our people turn again to the Lord, the founder of this country !!! I'm thankful for the prrophets of old and today !!!
I remember reading this years ago and since, I have never minded any who would come here for freedom !! I believe everyone who comes is lead here !! I do believe they need to be reverent about this country and the gift it is to us all !!!
2 Nephi 1:5-7
5 But, said he, notwithstanding our afflictions, we have obtained a land of promise, a land which is choice above all other lands; a land which the Lord God hath covenanted with me should be a land for the inheritance of my seed. Yea, the Lord hath covenanted this land unto me, and to my children forever, and also all those who should be led out of other countries by the hand of the Lord.
6 Wherefore, I, Lehi, prophesy according to the workings of the Spirit which is in me, that there shall none come into this land save they shall be brought by the hand of the Lord.
7 Wherefore, this land is consecrated unto him whom he shall bring. And if it so be that they shall serve him according to the commandments which he hath given, it shall be a land of liberty unto them; wherefore, they shall never be brought down into captivity; if so, it shall be because of iniquity; for if iniquity shall abound cursed shall be the land for their sakes, but unto the righteous it shall be blessed forever.
