Saving Our Constitution
I believe we are in very dire straights with our current government and with governments all over the world. Our Allies in the world are more our belligerents and those who seem like belligerents are really our Allies. Satan has turned our world upside down and today we need the Doctrine of the Gospel and the leadership of President Russell M. Nelson more than ever. Christ lives and is with us without a doubt. We will win this evil battle as long as we put Christ first in all things.
By A Thread?
What do we know about the statement of Joseph Smith that the Constitution would hang by a thread and that the Elders would save it?
D. Michael Stewart, Brigham Young University, Department of History said,
“The documents show that Joseph Smith did prophesy a number of times that the United States and the Constitution would be imperiled and that the elders would have a hand in saving them. The first known record of the prophecy dates to July 19, 1840, in Nauvoo, when the prophet spoke about the redemption of Zion. Using Doctrine & Covenants 101 as a text, he said, “Even this nation will be on the verge of crumbling to pieces and tumbling to the ground and when the Constitution is on the brink of ruin this people will be the staff upon which the nation shall lean and they shall bear the Constitution away from the very verge of destruction.” (Joseph Smith Papers, LDS Church Historical Archives, Box 1, March 10, 1844.)
There are also other documents in Church History files that show that five different early Saints recorded some remarks by the Prophet Joseph Smith on this same prophecy, perhaps voiced by the Prophet a number of times in a number of ways after 1840. Parley P. Pratt wrote in 1841 that the prophet said, “The government is fallen and needs redeeming. It is guilty of Blood and cannot stand as it now is but will come so near desolation as to hang as it were by a single hair!!!!! Then the servants goes [sic] to the nations of the earth, and gathers the strength of the Lord’s house! A mighty army!!!!!! And this is the redemption of Zion when the saints shall have redeemed that government and reinstated it in all its purity and glory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” (George A. Smith Papers, Church Archives, Box 7, Folder 5, January 21, 1841.)
James Burgess
James Burgess related that the Prophet, while addressing the Nauvoo Legion several miles east of Nauvoo in May 1843, said that “the time would come when the constitution and government would hang by a brittle thread and would be ready to fall into other hands but this people the latter-day saints will step forth and save it.” (James Burgess Journal, 1818–1904, Church Archives, vol. 1—found among loose sermons.)
Orson Hyde
Orson Hyde recalled that the Prophet predicted that “the time would come that the Constitution and the country would be in danger of an overthrow and said he, if the constitution be saved at all, it will be by the Elders of this Church. I believe this is about the language as nearly as I can recollect it.” (JD, 6:150.)
Eliza R. Snow

In a Pioneer Day celebration in Ogden in 1871, Eliza R. Snow said, “I heard the prophet say, ‘The time will come when the government of these United States will be so nearly overthrown through its corruption, that the Constitution will hang as it were by a single hair, and the Latter-day Saints—the Elders of Israel—will step forward to its rescue and save it.” (Journal History, MSF 143 #28, July 24, 1871.)
Jedediah M. Grant
Jedediah M. Grant, during the dark days of threatened invasion of Utah by a federal army, referred to the Prophet’s utterance as he addressed a Mormon Battalion gathering in Salt Lake City, February 6, 1855.
“What did the Prophet Joseph say? When the Constitution shall be tottering we shall be the people to save it from the hand of the foe.” (Deseret News Weekly, January 19, 1870.)
On various occasions, Joseph Smith referred to the Constitution, the country, and destiny of the nation; and there is clear evidence that he anticipated future peril. Furthermore, he pronounced the prophecy at various times and places. Perhaps he himself interchanged the simile “on the brink of ruin,” “hang by a brittle thread,” “hang by a single hair,” etc., to describe the anticipated crisis. It is also clear that the redeemers or rescuers of the Constitution were to be either the Saints generally or priesthood officers specifically.
Since no particular time was given for fulfilling this prophecy, members of the Church have often wondered about its timing. The prophecy clearly indicates a single, identifiable episode yet to come. However, it is helpful for us to constantly be on guard against threats to the central elements of the Constitution. It is not wise to sit by and think that the protection of the Constitution is the problem of someone else at some other time.
President J. Reuben Clark, Jr.
In support of this view of “constant vigilance,” it is most instructive to note that Church leaders have seen the Constitution imperiled a number of times. Brigham Young, reflecting on the prophecy of 1868, expressed: “It would not be many years before these words come to pass.” (JD, 12:204.) President John Taylor in 1884 declared: “It may be nearer … than some of us think.” (JD, 25:350.) President J. Reuben Clark, Jr., warned in 1942: “Whether it [the Constitution] shall live or die is now in the balance.” (Conference Report, October 1942, p. 58.)
Students of history and the Constitution know that the Constitution has been imperiled a number of times in its history and has been saved a number of times both by vigorous political action and by vocal public opinion.
Thus, rather than simply wait for the one time when the Constitution shall hang by a thread, Latter-day Saints must continually be vigilant. Our commission to save the Constitution is, like salvation, a continuing task, and Church leaders have pointed out the tools available: analysis of constitutional principles, personal study of the history of our nation, reading the Constitution to children at home and in schools, teaching them self-sacrifice—the principle that makes freedom possible—teaching them their obligations as mature citizens, recognizing and resisting ideologies that threaten constitutional principles, and developing loyalty to principle rather than to men or parties.
Politicians and statesmen must grapple with tough questions, painstakingly familiarize themselves with vital issues, and be decisive; but finally, an antidote to abusive government, to corruption, and to constitutional peril lies in private character. Humble people in prayerful homes will contribute immeasurably to a lasting constitutional government. And it should be apparent that consistent efforts in these areas will prepare us both to continually protect the Constitution and to prepare us for possibly a yet future rendezvous with our Constitution’s destiny.” D. Michael Stewart, Brigham Young University, Department of History
Saving our Constitution
There are many Elders and Priesthood leaders and other Saints that may be the instrument of helping save the Constitution, and may be a huge part of the previous quotes. You and I as Latter-day Saints can and may be involved.
Here are some members of the Church in the news, to look at, that may be a huge help:
Prophets and Apostles
Pres Nelson Quotes
Glenn Beck
Tim Ballard
Loy and Raland Brunson
Ken and Barb Cromar
There are many other patriots, men and women who are not members of the Church, but are wonderful people that may be a big help as well.
US Government has been Infiltrated
I share this to let you know in my opinion, the Lord is in control of our great nation under the Laws of our Constitution called Continuity of Government (COG)
Phil Godlewski 2.0 Continuity of Government, December 27th, 2022: (start at 50:00 to get to the heart of the message): https://rumble.com/v22ogaa-continuity-december-27th-2022.html 1:48:00 – “Habeas Corpus is suspended” 2:15:00 – Biden has extended every Trump emergency EO. See E.O. #13912
Before the Nov 2020 Presidential election, Department of National Security advisor, John Ratcliff reported that there may have been foreign interference in the Election. DNI JOHN RATCLIFFE
The required report by DNI was due Dec 19, 2020 and was delayed Report on Foreign Interference in Election Is Delayed
The Senate and Congress knew this report was overdue and after they read the late report, Congress didn’t do anything to read or evaluate DNI’s report. On the evening of Jan 6, 2021 Senator Ted Cruz asked for a vote of the Congress on whether to delay the certification of Electors for just 10 days, so the Congress had a little time to determine what the DNI report said so they could be sure the election results would stand. This vote was 385 against to not take 10 days, and 100 for to take 10 days and evaluate. SEN. CRUZ: WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO THE CONSTITUTION TO ENSURE THAT THIS ELECTION WAS LAWFUL
Because the Congress did not abide by their oath to protect we people by at least taking the 10 days, a lawsuit was filed, #22-380 Brunson vs Alma to say that the Congress broke their oath which is a civil matter, but if certified by the supreme Court, all 388, 385 including Biden Harris and Pence, would have to leave office immediately.
This case made it to a vote in the SCOTUS on Jan 6th, 2023 and was rejected as it said the People of the US don’t have standing, which is very wrong. This same case has been appealed and will go before the SCOTUS on Feb 17, 2023 again. It was not looked at again, but it will be as they have 4 more opportunities. Let’s see what happens. You can help by voicing your concerns here:
The New York Times announced in May 2022 that the Pentagon is Building New Secret Courtroom at Guantánamo Bay
Since Guantanamo Bay and Washington DC are not on legal US land, those who violate the law under Military Justice cannot be tried in civilian courts. The COG is currently holding Military courts and will continue for all the world to witness in about Aug or Sept of 2023 according to the NY Times.
Still an Infiltrated Government
The Book of Mormon is for us Today
“Each of the major writers of the Book of Mormon testified that he wrote for future generations. … If they saw our day and chose those things which would be of greatest worth to us, is not that how we should study the Book of Mormon? We should constantly ask ourselves, ‘Why did the Lord inspire Mormon (or Moroni or Alma) to include that in his record? What lesson can I learn from that to help me live in this day and age?’” (Teachings: Ezra Taft Benson,140).
The Deep State, Satanism or the Cabal
The Cabal is Satan himself. He has been called by many names over the centuries. They own 95% of everything, including TV networks, Oil, Big Pharma, Education, Abortion, Hollywood, Sports, most Religions, disney, McDonald’s, Amazon, etc. The people at the heads of these organizations are the evil ones, not all the hard working people within these organizations.
Please readers don’t try and find fault in what I am saying. The righteous people of the world and those who don’t understand are over 80% of the world. Dig deep and realize no one knows for sure, but I have legitimate insights. Don’t act like Satan has less power today. He is preparing for our end, and we must understand the Book of Mormon is warning us still.

President Russell M. Nelson
He also said, “It is now time that we each implement extraordinary measures — perhaps measures we have never taken before — to strengthen our personal spiritual foundations. Unprecedented times call for unprecedented measures.” Oct 3, 2021 President Nelson
Here is one of my favorite quotes:
“I admire men and women who have developed the questing spirit, who are unafraid of new ideas as stepping stones to progress. We should, of course, respect the opinions of others, but we should also be unafraid to dissent – if we are informed. Thoughts and expressions compete in the marketplace of thought, and in that competition truth emerges triumphant. Only error fears freedom of expression.”
“And while all members should respect, support, and heed the teachings of the authorities of the church, no one should accept a statement and base his or her testimony upon it, no matter who makes it, until he or she has, under mature examination, found it to be true and worthwhile; then one’s logical deductions may be confirmed by the spirit of revelation to his or her spirit, because real conversion must come from within.”
