The Future of the Sword in America

As we approach TEOWTWAWKI the power of the sword will be felt. It may seem ludicrous, but as a NeoChristian nation, allow me to share some scriptural sword references that demonstrate why this magnificent change to one of our national symbols is bound to happen.



Doctrine and Covenants 6:2
Behold, I am God; give heed unto my word, which is quick and powerful, sharper than a two-edged sword (perhaps like a light saber?), to the dividing asunder of both joints and marrow; therefore give heed unto my words.

Alma 24:12
Now, my best beloved brethren, since God hath taken away our stains, and our swords have become bright (note the picture above), then let us stain our swords no more with the blood of our brethren.

Jeremiah 50:36
A sword is upon the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed.

1 Samuel 25:13
And David said unto his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the stuff.

Ezekiel 14:17
¶Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it:

2 Nephi 5:14
And I, Nephi, did take the sword of Laban, and after the manner of it did make many swords, lest by any means the people who were now called Lamanites should come upon us and destroy us; for I knew their hatred towards me and my children and those who were called my people.

Ezekiel 5:12
¶A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.

Alma 17:37
But behold, every man that lifted his club to smite Ammon, he smote off their arms with his sword; for he did withstand their blows by smiting their arms with the edge of his sword, insomuch that they began to be astonished, and began to flee before him; yea, and they were not few in number; and he caused them to flee by the strength of his arm.

Helaman 13:5
And he said unto them: Behold, I, Samuel, a Lamanite, do speak the words of the Lord which he doth put into my heart; and behold he hath put it into my heart to say unto this people that the sword of justice hangeth over this people; and four hundred years pass not away save the sword of justice falleth upon this people.

Alma 44:12
And now when Moroni had said these words, Zerahemnah retained his sword, and he was angry with Moroni, and he rushed forward that he might slay Moroni; but as he raised his sword, behold, one of Moroni’s soldiers smote it even to the earth, and it broke by the hilt; and he also smote Zerahemnah that he took off his scalp and it fell to the earth. And Zerahemnah withdrew from before them into the midst of his soldiers.

Psalms 78:64
Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.

Doctrine and Covenants 121:5
Let thine anger be kindled against our enemies; and, in the fury of thine heart, with thy sword avenge us of our wrongs.

Revelation 19:2
And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

Isaiah 2:4
And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.


Now that I've tricked you into 5 minutes of scripture study on swords, please share any new insights you now have about this scriptural chain and its implication for Zion in TEOWTWAWKI.

I am highly offended. I skipped to the end after about three or four verses.

Is this genuine offense or are we re-hashing the "I know where you keep the donuts and was highly offended" routine?

Granted this is one of the lamer and more irreverent posts I've put up so your malice is justified.
