If we are going to comprehend the abomination of desolation here in the last days, we first need to understand who the whore of all the earth is, because she is separate and distinct from those who will lay siege against Jerusalem at the battle of Armageddon and we will see her destruction just before the Lord makes His first appearance here in America. From 1 Nephi 14 we read:

9 And it came to pass that he said unto me: Look, and behold that great and abominable church, which is the mother of abominations, whose founder is the devil.

10 And he said unto me: Behold there are save two churches only; the one is the church of the Lamb of God, and the other is the church of the devil; wherefore, whoso belongeth not to the church of the Lamb of God belongeth to that great church, which is the mother of abominations; and she is the whore of all the earth.

11 And it came to pass that I looked and beheld the whore of all the earth, and she sat upon many waters; and she had dominion over all the earth, among all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people.

12 And it came to pass that I beheld the church of the Lamb of God, and its numbers were few, because of the wickedness and abominations of the whore who sat upon many waters; nevertheless, I beheld that the church of the Lamb, who were the saints of God, were also upon all the face of the earth; and their dominions upon the face of the earth were small, because of the wickedness of the great whore whom I saw.

13 And it came to pass that I beheld that the great mother of abominations did gather together multitudes upon the face of all the earth, among all the nations of the Gentiles, to fight against the Lamb of God.

From the above passage we learn that the “great and abominable church, which is the mother of abominations” is also “the whore of all the earth, and she sat upon many waters” and then we learn that this whore is “among all the nations of the Gentiles” that “fight against the Lamb of God.”

The two best identifiers of just who this whore is are 1- She was “among all the nations of the Gentiles” that “fight against the Lamb of God” and… 2- That “she sat upon many waters”. When we look at the nations that Nephi saw we notice that one particular nation stands out from among all the nations of the gentiles and that is the British… it is true that other European nations also had imperialistic ambitions but their reach and influence paled in comparison to the British, of whom it has been said, “the sun never sets on the British Empire”.

So what was so bad about the British Empire besides the fact that they went around the globe imposing their will and enriching themselves at the expense numerous other nations? Well, they were the original globalists and they were the forerunners of today’s globalists!

Nephi says of these original globalists:

16 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld that the Gentiles who had gone forth out of captivity did humble themselves before the Lord; and the power of the Lord was with them.

17 And I beheld that their mother Gentiles were gathered together upon the waters, and upon the land also, to battle against them.

18 And I beheld that the power of God was with them, and also that the wrath of God was upon all those that were gathered together against them to battle.

19 And I, Nephi, beheld that the Gentiles that had gone out of captivity were delivered by the power of God out of the hands of all other nations.

So we can say that the Lord delivered the American colonies from a war with the “great and abominable church” or “whore of all the earth” that “sat upon many waters”. The Lord also raised up our founding fathers who understood the cunning, ambitious and warring nature of those whom America sprung from and they gave us the American constitution as a protection against being brought under bondage again… so how has that worked out?

The globalist among us have always sought to undermine, modify and re-define the constitution from it’s very conception and have succeeded in far too many instances… But the other major way that globalists have succeeded in gaining power and influence in America was to get us involved in two world wars, the second of which saw the decline of the British empire and the emergence of American global power,  the operatives of which claim to justify their warring among the nations by saying that they are making the world safe for democracy, while at the same time doing all they can to undermine democracy, freedom, the constitution, the rule of law, the border, the vote, and an opposition candidate etc. And that of course is exactly what present American administration has dedicated and committed themselves to doing…

This globalist movement extends far beyond England and America… but these two woke nations are at the center and form the core of the whore’s power and influence in our day! And because the Lord’s first appearance will be here in America He has declared that “the whore of all the earth” “shall perish” before the Lord comes and Zion (the New Jerusalem) descends from above. (see Rev 21:2-3) From 2 Nephi we read:

16 Wherefore, he that fighteth against Zion, both Jew and Gentile, both bond and free, both male and female,SHALL PERISH; for they are they who are the whore of all the earth; for they who are not for me are against me, saith our God. (see 2 Ne. 10:11-16)

The whore’s demise will come so swiftly and be so wide spread that their shall not be time to bury the dead, we read from section 29:

17 And it shall come to pass, because of the wickedness of the world, that I will take vengeance upon the wicked, for they will not repent; for the cup of mine indignation is full; for behold, my blood shall not cleanse them if they hear me not.

18 Wherefore, I the Lord God will send forth flies upon the face of the earth, which shall take hold of the inhabitants thereof, and shall eat their flesh, and shall cause maggots to come in upon them;

19 And their tongues shall be stayed that they shall not utter against me; and their flesh shall fall from off their bones, and their eyes from their sockets;

20 And it shall come to pass that the beasts of the forest and the fowls of the air shall devour them up.

21 And the great and abominable church, which is the whore of all the earth, shall be cast down by devouring fire, according as it is spoken by the mouth of Ezekiel the prophet, who spoke of these things, which have not come to pass but surely must, as I live, for abominations shall not reign.

Noting that the “the whore of all the earth, shall be cast down by devouring fire” we inquire as to the nature of this fire which leads us to quote Ezra Taft Benson once again, who said:

“But on the other hand, if the gentiles on this land reject the word of God and conspire to overthrow liberty and the Constitution, then their doom is fixed, and they “. . . shall be cut off from among my people who are of the covenant”. (1 Nephi 14:6; 3 Nephi 21:11, 14, 21; D&C 84:114-115, 117)

“The great destructive force which was to be turned loose on the earth and which the prophets for centuries have been calling the “abomination of desolation” is vividly described by those who saw it in vision. Ours is the first generation to realize how literally these prophecies can be fulfilled now that God, through science, has unlocked the secret to thermonuclear reaction. (Oct. general conference, 1961)

One of the major benefits of understanding the nature and timing of the whore’s demise or the abomination of desolation on the wicked gentiles, is that it basically announces the coming of the Son of Man, from JS Matthew we read:

32 And again shall the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, be fulfilled.

33 And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven shall be shaken…

36 And, as I said before, after the tribulation of those days, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken, then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven, and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn; and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory;

37 And whoso treasureth up my word, shall not be deceived, for the Son of Man shall come, and he shall send his angels before him with the great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together the remainder of his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

So how long before “the sign of  the Son of Man” shall be given? Answer…  the gentiles on this land have already rejected the word of God and are conspiring to overthrow liberty and the Constitution… a nuclear abomination of desolation involving “the whore of all the earth” becomes more likely each day as the world becomes more and more embroiled in “wars and roomers of wars”… do we have years? A year? I don’t think so…
