pam Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 Reference Search: 2 Nephi 12:77 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasurers; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots. Quote for Discussion Horses and Chariots Horses and chariots are often mentioned to signify military might and are listed along with treasures and idols in these verses. Relying on military power alone for peace and security is a form of idolatry. President Spencer W. Kimball observed: When enemies rise up, we commit vast resources to the fabrication of gods of stone and steel—ships, planes, missiles, fortifications—and depend on them for protection and deliverance. When threatened, we become anti-enemy instead of pro-kingdom of God…. We forget that if we are righteous the Lord will either not suffer our enemies to come upon us—and this is the special promise to the inhabitants of the land of the Americas—or he will fight our battles for us. (Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball, 417.)John Bytheway, Isaiah for Airheads, p. 74 Quote
