Ether 8

As Moroni warns of secret combinations and wickedness, he makes a point that caught my attention this morning where he says -

"...whatsoever nation shall uphold such secret combinations, to get power and gain, until they shall spread over the nation, behold, they shall be destroyed..."   (Book of Mormon | Ether 8:22)

Adding

"...O ye Gentiles, it is wisdom in God that these things should be shown unto you, that thereby ye may repent of your sins, and suffer not that these murderous combinations shall get above you, which are built up to get power and gain—and the work, yea, even the work of destruction come upon you, yea, even the sword of the justice of the Eternal God shall fall upon you, to your overthrow and destruction if ye shall suffer these things to be."  (Book of Mormon | Ether 8:23)

In my mind, there is much warning to those that cheat, lie, and form secret combinations for power and wickedness.  But in this case, the warning of destruction is to those that allow or uphold those that do so.  We are in a present political cycle...this is great warning to those that would vote for those that do so.
