Why the Vandals Fight So Hard

Part Two of The Vandals in the Park

A restored park at sunrise with people walking the paths toward a white temple on a hill, and a hawk soaring overhead.

In Part One, I told you about the park I've walked through almost every day for close to thirty years, and the kids who filled the sprinkler boxes with rocks the night before. I told you about the benches they've broken, the volleyball nets they've torn down, and the pornographic images they've painted on the sidewalks where little children walk to the playground. And I showed you how the same kind of people have vandalized America, tearing down its morality, its money, its manufacturing, its energy, and its families, while Donald Trump works to build it back up.

But I left one question hanging. Why? Why do they fight so hard? Why does every effort to restore this country bring out such tremendous opposition? The answer has everything to do with what this land was set apart for in the first place, and the opposition to that is already showing itself.

A Letter From the Opposing Army

Right now the Iranian military, the IRGC, has put out a letter to the American people that told everybody to vote Democrat, because they want Trump gone. I read the whole thing, and I'm astonished by it. It's a Gish gallop of all kinds of foolish claims mixed in with the truth, and it's written very, very well.

You read it and you can see exactly what they're doing. They're trying to play on Americans' emotions using our own history. They go clear back to the Civil War and the mistreatment of the Indians, and they bring all of it up, and all they're trying to do is the exact same thing Giddianhi did when he wrote his letter to Lachoneus. Look at how that letter opens...

Lachoneus, most noble and chief governor of the land, behold, I write this epistle unto you, and do give unto you exceedingly great praise because of your firmness, and also the firmness of your people, in maintaining that which ye suppose to be your right and liberty; yea, ye do stand well, as if ye were supported by the hand of a god, in the defence of your liberty, and your property, and your country, or that which ye do call so. (3 Nephi 3:2)

And look at how he closes it, holding up a list of old grievances to justify taking everything...

And I write this epistle unto you, Lachoneus, and I hope that ye will deliver up your lands and your possessions, without the shedding of blood, that this my people may recover their rights and government, who have dissented away from you because of your wickedness in retaining from them their rights of government, and except ye do this, I will avenge their wrongs. I am Giddianhi. (3 Nephi 3:10)

That is Satan's tactic. This is Satan's letter.

His greatest power is the half truth. He tells flat-out truths, flat-out falsehoods, and everything in between, and he uses the truth to sway you into believing the falsehoods. What astonishes me is how many people have believed this letter. How many have fallen for it? And why? Because the beast media system has done everything it can to destroy Donald Trump. I believe he is the first president in the last hundred years who was actually chosen by the people. He wasn't chosen by the beast system, and now they're doing everything they can to mar him and destroy him, because they cannot control him, and he is going to destroy their plans to vandalize the country and keep their grip on global control.

Ask yourself a simple question. If the opposing army is telling you how to vote, wouldn't that be an instant sign not to follow their lead? Wouldn't that be enough to wake a person up and make them say, "Oh, wow, I'm supporting the Iranians by voting Democrat"?

Wouldn't that be enough?

As odd as it seems, there are people who won't even think about it. They hate Trump so badly that they would gladly see the Iranian military win this war if it would get him out of office. It's bizarre. After everything he has done for our country, he is the most tireless president anybody has ever seen. Every single day there's some major event, whether it's a deal with another country, securing an oil pipeline, or doing something dramatic with AI. Every day.

And what does the other side offer? The Democrats have nothing. They have completely switched over to communism. They don't even propose anything. All they do is complain about everything, because they have no control and nothing to help the country with. So I'm voting, and I'm hoping a lot of people will wake up before they do.

New here? I give away Chapter 8 of my book, the one I get asked about more than any other. It makes the scriptural case that the seven seals haven't opened yet, one of the more provocative claims I make. Join the newsletter and it's yours. Get the Free Chapter →

Zion and the Birth Pains

Now I want to tell you why all of this matters so much. Soon, Zion is going to begin to be established in Missouri. I want to be careful here, because the beginning of Zion is not the Second Coming. The Savior's return to the world is still a long way off, and a great many prophesied events have to happen before it. But the work of building Zion will start long before He comes.

Revelation chapter 12 describes the birth pains, and it also describes the tremendous opposition that comes against it as it's being born...

And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. (Revelation 12:2–4)

I show in my book that Donald Trump is going to have a dramatic part in the establishment of Zion, and the opposition to that is going to be tremendous, just like the opposition to the establishment of America in the first place. There will be wars. There will be everything that is described in chapters 12 and 13 of Revelation, and as I show in the book, all of it connects to the first five seals of Revelation chapter 6. The dragon doesn't give up when the child is born. He goes after everyone connected to it...

And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. (Revelation 12:17)

The New Jerusalem

This is what America was set up to be. It was meant to have the kingdom of God established here, a kingdom that would go forth and become one of the two capitals of the world. It will be a New Jerusalem. Ether saw it thousands of years ago. He told the Jaredites that this land...

...was the place of the New Jerusalem, which should come down out of heaven, and the holy sanctuary of the Lord. Behold, Ether saw the days of Christ, and he spake concerning a New Jerusalem upon this land. (Ether 13:3–4)

And he was clear about who would build it...

And that a New Jerusalem should be built up upon this land, unto the remnant of the seed of Joseph, for which things there has been a type. (Ether 13:6)

It will be led by the Davidic king, and it will have a tremendous influence upon the world. Isaiah saw people from every nation coming to it...

This is only part of the story. Get the Book →

And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. (Isaiah 2:2–3)

That's what this is. This is the mountain of the Lord's house. Two capitals, Zion and Jerusalem, with the law going out from one and the word of the Lord from the other.

And so Satan and his minions, and all the people he controls, the other governments of the world and every group that has no religious or spiritual foundation at all, will fight against it. That is why the vandals have been working so hard for so long. It's impossible to describe the magnitude of what is coming. We will see the greatest events in world history.

Opposition From Within

Sadly, there will be those within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who will oppose this, and they'll oppose it because of Donald Trump's connection to it. I'm not going to lay out everything from the book here, or exactly how he is connected to it. But I want you to think about the fact that there is a connection. Many members already can't stand the man, and when they see him tied to the establishment of Zion, some of them will fight against it the same way the vandals do.

And it won't only be members of the Church. Many Christians will oppose it too. Both will have the opportunity to take part in the establishment of Zion, and many of them will reject it. I believe that's what John saw when the dragon's tail drew away a third part of the stars of heaven, members of the Church and Christians alike. That's an alarming thing, and it deserves its own article, but I want you to know it's coming.

Support the Cyrus of Our Day

But the future is bright, my friends. I mean that. According to my reading of the scriptures, Trump will win, and he will win big. I don't mean an election. I mean that he will prevail over all of this opposition in the long run. Think of David. Nobody expected a shepherd boy to beat Goliath, and nobody expected him to unite Israel against every nation around it, but he did both. I believe the Davidic king of the last days will do the same thing, and this time his influence won't be limited to one small country. It doesn't matter if he loses the midterm elections. He's obviously not on the ballot. It doesn't matter. I'm telling you...

He will be healed.

God will show the world that His wisdom is greater than the cunning of the devil, exactly as He promised. (3 Nephi 21:10) The vandals have had their decades. They've had their night in the park with the lids pulled up and the rocks thrown in. But morning comes, and the work of rebuilding has already started.

Now, I know how hard it is to change your mind about someone. That's one of the main things I wrote about in my book. What you believe colors everything you see, and if you've spent ten years hearing that this man is a monster, a paragraph from me isn't going to undo that. So I'm not going to ask you to just believe me. I'm going to ask you some questions instead.

The scriptures tell us there is a servant to come in the last days whose "visage was so marred more than any man" (Isaiah 52:14), a servant "whom man despiseth" and "whom the nation abhorreth" (Isaiah 49:7). Rejected by his own people. So if that servant came today, what would it look like? Would he be loved by the media? Would the nation embrace him? Or would he be the most hated man in the country? The servant says the Lord "hath made my mouth like a sharp sword" (Isaiah 49:2). His words cut. But the wicked one Daniel saw comes in peaceably and obtains the kingdom "by flatteries" (Daniel 11:21). Smooth words. So which one speaks sharp words, and which ones speak smooth?

I've asked people these questions. They tell me they know the prophecy exists. They can see that Donald Trump is despised and rejected. They can't stand him themselves, which means they're fulfilling the prophecy as we speak. And then they say, "Yep, it must be some future servant." It blows my mind!

Here's what I want you to realize. The Jews and the Pharisees in Jesus' day knew the prophecies. They could quote them. And they did not recognize that they were fulfilling those very prophecies as they rejected Him. We are in the same boat. If this prophecy is being fulfilled right now, then you aren't reading about it from the outside. You're in it. Every one of us gets to decide which part of that prophecy we're going to be, the ones who despised the servant, or the ones who recognized him and helped build Zion. That's a wonderful thing to be able to choose.

So don't take my word for it. Open the scriptures and read Isaiah 44 through 49 for yourself, and then chapters 51 and 52. He's all over the book of Isaiah. Ask the Lord as you read who those verses are describing. And if you come to see what I see, then it isn't enough just to quit supporting the vandals.

We need to support the Cyrus of our day.

I think about that park worker, walking the grass and looking for a valve cover some kid had thrown away, and about everyone who has had to come behind the vandals and fix what they broke. Somebody always has to do the rebuilding. This time, God has sent someone to do it, and he isn't going to stop at fixing what was broken. It's going to be better than it ever was.

Quit supporting the vandals in the park. Start supporting the man God sent to rebuild it. He wasn't sent only to repair what was broken. He was sent to build the political kingdom of God, and that is what we have to look forward to.

So don't let yourself be dragged away by the dragon's tail.

In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
