Abstract

The Book of Mormon states that “whatsoever nation shall possess [America] shall serve God, or they shall be swept off.” This promise to America, the “promised land,” was fulfilled in the days of the Jaredites who allowed secret combinations to flourish. Those who remain faithful to Jesus Christ will enjoy the ministration of angels, fellowship with prophets, communion with saints, the gift of the Holy Ghost, and possession of the land of promise.
