Anti-Immigrationists & Rejecting Christ

Father Lehi prophesied. He said, “If the day shall come that [the people of this land] will reject the Holy One of Israel, the true Messiah, their Redeemer and their God, behold, the judgments of him that is just shall rest upon them. Yea, he will bring other nations unto them, and he will give unto them (the other nations spoken of) power, and he will take away from them (the people of this nation) the lands of their possessions, and he will cause them to be scattered and smitten.” (2 Nephi 1:10-11)

There seems to be quite a flurry these days about illegal immigration. The debate is quite heated on both sides. Honestly, I have to admit if I had to choose which side I would come down on, it would be for greater enforcement of the borders. It just seems the safest option. Yet, the above passage has struck me as a possible sign that it just might not matter what any of us think.

Indeed, I think there may be certain events in store for this nation that not many of us have contemplated. There is no doubt we as a nation are beginning to become more secular, i.e. reject the Holy One of Israel. Could the illegal immigration debate be the spark that lights the fire giving light to the reality that if we don’t shape up soon, this really won’t be our Country much longer?

I, Lehi, prophesy according to the workings of the Spirit which is in me, that there shall NONE come into this land save they shall be brought by the hand of the Lord. (2 Nephi 1:6)
