The United States of America

• Ether 12:35-37

"If the Gentiles have not charity" the Lord will take away their talent and give it unto another.

Upon approval of the Edmunds-Tucker Act 1887:

Congress had "turned the last key that seals their condemnation and lays the foundation for the overthrow & final destruction of the United States Government."

This is particularly interesting to consider in light of Ether 12:35-37

• President Marion G. Romney, "America’s Destiny", General Conference, October 1975

• Millennial Star 29:455; History of the Church 6:116

"While discussing the petition to Congress, I prophesied, by virtue of the holy Priesthood vested in me, and in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, that, if Congress will not hear our petition and grant us protection, they shall be broken up as a government, and God shall damn them. And there shall nothing be left of them—not even a grease spot."

Some authors have argued that America cannot fall before the second coming. However, I see no concrete argument supporting that supposition. In fact, I'm inclined to think that Wilford Woodruff's assertion regarding the destruction of the United States is correct. There seems to be plenty of evidence that the destruction of the United States is probable.
