Wherefore, I, Lehi, have obtained a promise, that inasmuch as those whom the Lord God shall bring out of the land of Jerusalem shall keep his commandments, they shall prosper upon the face of this land; and they shall be kept from all other nations, that they may possess this land unto themselves. And if it so be that they shall keep his commandments they shall be blessed upon the face of this land, and there shall be none to molest them, nor to take away the land of their inheritance; and they shall dwell safely forever.
This promise of liberty extends not just to Lehi's family, which fled from Jerusalem to America, but to all families in all generations who have fled oppression, bigotry, persecution, and evil. This goes beyond politics and economics. This is about humanity, charity, and rights of the human soul.
