Remembering the Price of Freedom
this 4th of July 2011
by DT June 27 2011
During these next few weeks, we ought to remember those who have served this country; & who have, such as during World World 2, helped to stop Hitler's "New Order," in Europe.1 Many other vets of this, & other wars, have sacrificed their limbs & mental well beings in the name of freedom. Doing so also in the name of protecting their friends; their fellow soldiers; & families. Many, after fighting in such intense combat conditions; have physical, mental & even spiritual scars, which many war vets don't like to talk about, or be reminded of. Thus, it's up to us to remember their prices paid for theirs' & our freedoms.
LDS prophets & apostles have prophetically warned, for years now, that there are still those of the earlier generations, who have passed on to later ones; plots & plans to over throw the United States' Constitution! Attempting to do so, in order to establish a World Constitution, a New World Order, or World Order, or "One World Government." Which will need a world police force; world court system, global taxes, global money system, etc. This means, they say, the end of individual freedoms, the end of individual nations' sovereignties, constitutions, judicial systems & legislative sovereignties. As those in power seek to enslave & control the masses, as they seek to take over the whole world in this world regime.2
We are reminded how pointless such plans seems to be in the eternal view of things: "For what is a man advantaged, if he gains the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?" (Luke 9:25). "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" (Mark 8:35).
And yet, the prophets have warned that there will be, & are those in our time, who will & now seek to gain the whole world, if they can. While on smaller scales, different secret combinations, or street gangs, seek to control their own particular smaller sections, or turfs in ours' & different cities, spreading out their influences & webs of control, as much as they can.3
In the Book of Mormon, we read how the devil, "...stirreth up the children of men unto secret combinations of murder and all manner of secret works of darkness. (2 Nephi 2:27; 9:8-10, emphasis added).
A common warning given, & passed down by LDS prophets & apostles, is how there would come a time when the constitution & this country, would face dangerous threats from within & without. How that the "constitution would hang by a thread," and that members of the Church would need to "wake up" to the secret combinations seeking to bring this about. Are we awake?4
Many of us have taken note to how many world leaders, past & present, have secretly, but now openly talk about a world government; also called a "new world order," globalization, global governance, or "world order."5 We've also taken note of globalists' push towards different unions of nations into super states, with in a "World Order"?6 What will then happen to U.S.A's Constitution, Bill of Rights & our National Sovereignty? Have we been paying attention to what the prophets & apostles have warned, for years now, what could happen, if we all don't repent of our sins, serve the God of this land, who is Jesus Christ, & awake to our awful situation, as The Book of Mormon also warns?7
The price of freedom has always been high, & so during this coming 4th of July season, may we do what we can to help preserve our freedoms & remember those who paid the ultimate price to preserve them.
LDS apostle, Bruce R. McConkie also reminds us of the bigger picture too:

6- AN ENEMY HATH DONE THIS, BY EZRA TAFT BENSION. NONE DARE CALL IT CONSPIRACY, BY GARY ALLEN, 1971. Gary Allen, during the early 1970's, warns of secret combinations & the New World Order. Ezra Taft Benson, in conference, asked the church to read this book! Dan Smoot, The Invisible Government, (Dallas, Texas: The Dan Smoot Report, Inc., 1962).
The birth of "Unions," such as European Union, a super state, one in a number of states, for World Government!
LDS prophets & apostles have prophetically warned, for years now, that there are still those of the earlier generations, who have passed on to later ones; plots & plans to over throw the United States' Constitution!

LDS apostle, Bruce R. McConkie also reminds us of the bigger picture too:
"Our message is one of joy and rejoicing and glory and honor and triumph. True believers always rejoice in Christ and in his gospel.
We do not say that everyone who accepts the restored gospel will escape the wars and plagues and desolations of the last days. But we do say that all their sorrows and sufferings will be swallowed up in the joy of the gospel.
Some who are true and faithful will perish along with the wicked and ungodly in the days ahead. But what does it matter whether we live or die once we have found Christ and he has sealed us his?
If we lay down our lives in the cause of truth and righteousness or in defense of our religion, our families, and our free institutions, why should we worry?
We are not hanging on to life with greedy hands, fearful of the future. Once we have accepted the gospel and been reconciled to God through the mediation of Christ, what matters it if we are called to the realms of peace, there to await an inheritance in the resurrection of the just?
Having a hope in Christ, we know we shall rise in glorious immortality and find place with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of God, to go no more out."8
In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.DT 6-27-2011.
