For the space of three hours did the Lord talk with the brother of Jared, and chastened him because he remembered not to call upon the name of the Lord. Ether 2:14 9:35
"A land ... choice above all other lands ... preserved for a righteous people"
God likes America best. He made it for a righteous people (the Mormons), and America will face God's wrath if it fails to please him
(and them). 2:7-10, 15
"He that will contend against the word of the Lord, let him be accursed; and he that shall deny these
things, let him be accursed."
(Those who disbelieve in the Book of Mormon will go to hell.) 4:8
