| Garden of Eden? |
If we confine the question to this world, and if the first thought was Garden of Eden, we’re probably right.
And it seems from there that most things went downhill, if we measure things by the crowded, descending “broad way” versus the nigh-vacant ascending narrow one.
1
If some math genius or AI-loop parsed the Good News exclamations with the lamentations, I wonder what the percentage would be? This year
2024 might be a good time to read our Books with that comparison in mind; and to ponder why things go bad so fast and whether we are paying enough attention to the lamentations and the revelations about secret combinations pursuing power and gain in order “to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries; and ... the destruction of all people.”

What if the imperative duty that we seem to have left undone back in 1839
3 is being done for another time and atrocity by a group funded by Canadian citizens: The
National Citizens Inquiry (NCI
4). If you have not heard of the NCI, listen to these two testimonies out of three-hundred-five possible:
• Ottawa. ON, Day 1—Dr. Stephen Malthouse:
https://nationalcitizensinquiry.ca/witness/dr-stephen-malthouse/
• Vancouver BC, Day 1—Sean Taylor
https://nationalcitizensinquiry.ca/witness/sean-taylor/
and ponder if we have been complicit in this unfolding tragedy.
If one thinks the USA has escaped “the [traitorous] overthrow,” seek out the USA citizens who testified before the NCI. The two
P3 combines of 1) Pscience,
5 Power, Politics; and 2) Private Public Partnerships have fractured the US Constitution while we USians square off behind Nebuchadnezzar on the one side and King Zedekiah on the other.
6 What do we expect
7 in coming days if we stand idle and silent, pretending / acting as if all is well? Or “saying, Where is the promise of His coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation” (New Testament | 2 Peter 3:4)?
What can we do or not do in such dire circumstances, you might ask? We get informed. We don’t lie or live a lie. We resist compromise and corruption. We repent. We read our Books and apply them to ourselves and our day. We share and honor truth. We don’t resist evil with evil. We pray for understanding, wisdom, discernment. We pray for the latter day righteous one; for the 144,000; for those suffering at the hands or commands of the wicked; for our families and friends to awaken to the patterns and warnings in our Books; for leaders to repent or arise choosing integrity and courage; for the wicked to repent, and if they refuse, for exposure and accountability, Justice and Judgment. We pray for guidance. We pray that we will see and hear instead of not seeing and not hearing. That’s some of what we can do.

New Testament | Matthew 7:13-14 13 ¶ Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Pearl of Great Price | Moses 5:51 51 For from the days of Cain, there was a secret combination, and their works were in the dark, and they knew every man his brother.
Book of Mormon | Ether 8:24–25
24 Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things [upholding secret combinations to get power and gain] come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this secret combination which shall be among you; ....
25 For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries; and it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people, for it is built up by the devil, who is the father of all lies; even that same liar who beguiled our first parents, yea, even that same liar who hath caused man to commit murder from the beginning; who hath hardened the hearts of men that they have murdered the prophets, and stoned them, and cast them out from the beginning.

Doctrine and Covenants | Section 123:7 7 It is an imperative duty that we owe to God, to angels, with whom we shall be brought to stand, and also to ourselves, to our wives and children, who have been made to bow down with grief, sorrow, and care, under the most damning hand of murder, tyranny, and oppression, supported and urged on and upheld by the influence of that spirit which hath so strongly riveted the creeds of the fathers, who have inherited lies, upon the hearts of the children, and filled the world with confusion, and has been growing stronger and stronger, and is now the very mainspring of all corruption, and the whole earth groans under the weight of its iniquity.
Doctrine and Covenants | Section 123:11 11 And also it is an imperative duty that we owe to all the rising generation, and to all the pure in heart—

Pscience is the corrupted offshoot of honourable Science. It is the inevitable consequence of man's obsessive pursuit and protection of power, gain, glory, and domination. Pscience is pseudo, psychopathic, propagandizing, plagiarizing, politicized, psy-opic, and above all, profit-obsessed, and profit-driven. This obsessive pursuit and protection by people without conscience is often enabled by naïve, trusting, or fear-filled acolytes. Pscience is a one-faith, one-dogma, “heretic”-fearing, self-deceiving, other-censoring system.

Old Testament | 2 Kings 24:17-25:12 (bold emphasis added)
17 ¶ And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his father's brother king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
18 Zedekiah was twenty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
19 And
he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
20 For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

CHAPTER 25:1-12 1 AND it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about.
2 And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
3 And on the ninth day of the fourth month the
famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
4 ¶ And
the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is by the king's garden: (now the Chaldees were against the city round about:) and the king went the way toward the plain.
5 And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from him.
6 So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.
7 And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon.
8 ¶ And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzar-adan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:
9 And he
burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with fire.
10 And all the army of the Chaldees, that were with the captain of the guard,
brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
11 Now the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carry away.
12 But the captain of the guard left of the poor of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
