"And it came to pass that Shez did remember the destruction of his fathers, and he did build up a righteous kingdom; for he remembered what the Lord had done in bringing Jared and his brother across the deep; and he did walk in the ways of the Lord; and he begat sons and daughters.
And it came to pass that Lib also did that which was good in the sight of the Lord. And in the days of Lib the poisonous serpents were destroyed. Wherefore they did go into the land southward, to hunt food for the people of the land, for the land was covered with animals of the forest. and Lib also himself became a great hunter.
And never could be a people more blessed than were they, and more prospered by the hand of the Lord. And they were in a land that was choice above all lands, for the Lord had spoken it.
And in the days of Com there began to be robbers in the land; and they adopted the old plans, and administered oaths after the manner of the ancients, and sought again to destroy the kingdom."
The cycle of righteous and wicked kings continue and I see a pattern of when they are righteous they remember the Lord and what he has done for them, and they honor their ancestors. As they do this they prosper and begin to receive inspiration on how to solve their problems. They become a blessed and happy people.
I find it interesting that when the kingdom falls one of the very root causes is a child rising up against their father who is king. They lose the affection for their own family members and no longer honor their ancestors. Then their hearts turn to the father of all lies. They murder, rob and adopt secret combinations and take oaths. This is when they are ripe for destruction.
What does this say for our nation when people are trying to erase our history and dissolve the family?
