Quote:Add to your faith knowledge, etc. The principle of knowledge is the principle of salvation. This principle can be comprehended by the faithful and diligent; and every one that does not obtain knowledge sufficient to be saved will be condemned. The principle of salvation is given us through the knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Salvation Is to Triumph over Enemies
Salvation is nothing more nor less than to triumph over all our enemies and put them under our feet. And when we have power to put all enemies under our feet in this world, and a knowledge to triumph over all evil spirits in the world to come, then we are saved, as in the case of Jesus, who was to reign until He had put all enemies under His feet, and the last enemy was death.- Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Section Six 1843-44, p.297
It seems by this that the destruction comes from our enemies and the salvation comes from having enough knowledge to prevent our enemies from over powering us.
In the case of our Country, it seems that it will only be saved if we can learn how to prevent those who are trying to destroy it from succeeding.
