Today's Favorite Verse: Exodus 12:33
"And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men."
After witnessing all the firstborn in the land of Egypt dying the people were ready for the children of Israel to leave. They send them out in haste from the land in fear that next they would be dead. It made me look for these verses about the building of the New Jerusalem and how its inhabitants will be feared and protected.
"And there shall be gathered unto it out of every nation under heaven; and it shall be the only people that shall not be at war one with another.
And it shall be said among the wicked: Let us not go up to battle against Zion, for the inhabitants of Zion are terrible; wherefore we cannot stand.
For when the Lord shall appear he shall be terrible unto them, that fear may seize upon them, and they shall stand afar off and tremble.
And all nations shall be afraid because of the terror of the Lord, and the power of his might. Even so. Amen.
(Doctrine and Covenants 45:69-70, 74-75)
