3 Nephi 7
- When I look at this dissolution of the government and the breaking up of the people into tribes I ask myself if such a thing could happen today.
- My answer has to be yes. I believe that it could happen. I don’t know if it will, but it could. We are already a fractured people.
- My next question is would it be a bad thing?
- In some ways no, people would have more individual liberty and would be forced to work for their individual peace and safety. Lack of work is what we are suffering from now.
- On the other hand, spreading the message of the gospel would face some impediments if the people were more broken up than they are now.
