Days of '47 and Kissing Chinese Bloody Feet
By Sterling D. Allan
July 24, 2001
The 24th of July is a holiday in Utah, celebrating the entering of the
Mormon Pioneers into the Salt Lake Valley, when Brigham Young said, "This
is the right place."
From that point on, the theme song for the LDS people here has been
"Come, Come, Ye Saints," with the refrain, "All is well, all is
well."
"We'll find a place, which God for us prepared, far away in the West,
where none shall come to hurt or make afraid; there the Saints will be
blessed."
Now, coming next year in 2002, Utah will be host to the World's Winter
Olympics. It doesn't get much better than that. All is indeed very well here
in Utah's Zion.
Or is it?
Beijing is now slated to be host to the Summer Olympics in 2008, a successor
venue relationship of sorts.
With the Mormons so anxious to do missionary work in China, no matter what the
cost, we can expect that they will be falling all over themselves to kiss up
to the bloody Chinese during this unprecedented opportunity to springboard
from their world-hosting event to that of their Chinese comrades.
I wonder what percentage of those Mormons even have a clue as to the threat
the Chinese pose to them so far as having intentions to invade our country.
How many of them are aware of the numerous dreams and visions that some
remnant saints have had regarding Chinese troops being here in Utah,
patrolling the streets and the concentration camps that will be set up to
detain those unruly Mormons who refuse to go along with the socialist New
World Order and the implementation of the mark in the right hand or in the
forehead, without which no one may buy or sell. Are they aware of how
senselessly brutal the Chinese soldiers are trained to be, both in torture and
in killing techniques?
"Where none shall come, to hurt or make afraid"?
Well, if they had not cried "all is well, all is well," but had been
on their toes instead as would behoove them as the people of God, such a thing
would not come to pass, for they would have kept it away by their vigilance.
Fortunately, God does not intend for this to be a Communist land. He has plans
for its redemption. Those who are vigilant in the Lord will see a miraculous
deliverance as this yoke is destroyed and the city of the New Jerusalem is
finally built -- a city of true peace, which peace will eventually fill the
whole earth -- a government of God that will protect the freedoms of all
mankind.
So as we remember the sacrifices of our forbearers, may we bear in mind that
we are going to be called upon to make as difficult if not more difficult
sacrifices in the coming days before the Zion of God is established, not just
in name, but in its fully implemented splendor, "where none shall come,
to hurt or make afraid," not because of the "all is well"
sentiment and the slumber that engenders, but because its inhabitants are ever
vigilant both pertaining to the gospel as well as finally implementing the
principles of righteous government.
May we be part of that glorious day by aligning ourselves now with those
principles, that we be not cut off when the day of reckoning comes.
Sincerely,
Sterling D. Allan
