So, I was briefly talking with my mother-in-law, as recently as this morning, about the state of the world and she always frames her global politics in terms of the cold-war alliances mixed with the new alliances -- Russian Communists/US old money/liberals, Marxists, new communists = deep state--US/capitalism/ground-roots/conservatives = true democracy bearers, which isn't a wrong way to see the polarization of the world. I enjoy talking with her about politics as I can easily see the two parties and what they represent.
I wonder, though, actually see it literally coming quickly, how differently the new good and the new evil will be seen and called. In the end, whether talking about the old and the new (as far back as Jesus Christ's new church [and even before, back to Cain and Abel or back to before this world, as Lucifer plotted against the Father's plan of Salvation and His champion, Jehovah, who would make it all possible...] of Joseph Smith jr. and the New Jerusalem in Jackson County, Missouri verses the armed mob with blackened faces and Governor Lilburn Williams Boggs who killed him in Carthage, Illinois and their extermination order that was legal and in force until 1976. Boggs claimed that the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, then called, "Mormons" had committed "open and avowed defiance of the law" and had "made war upon the people of Missouri".[2] Governor Boggs directed that "the Mormons must be treated as enemies, and must be exterminated or driven from the State if necessary for the public peace—their outrages are beyond all description".
What will the new parties/allegiances/families/people be called and how differently will they be seen by the others living on the Earth or by the book writers? Their philosophies will be different in what ways, as the time/language/philosophies/theologies will be different from one another. In the end, though, we always start with Good (God and His Christ, called Jesus) vs. Evil (Lucifer called Satan).
In the Book of Mormon, we read about Alma, son of Alma, and four of his friends (who each was a son of Mosiah), who sought to destroy the church of God who was miraculously saved and converted, and the church was not destroyed at that time. It, likewise, won’t be destroyed at this time, though, its members will be tried and tested.
And how will these new groups be called? Gog vs. Magog?
