>>12298838Jacob is explaining that it is a land destined for the righteous not a holy land like how Mecca is to Muslims.
>"But behold, this land, said God, shall be a land of thine inheritance, and the Gentiles shall be blessed upon the land." (2 Ne. 10:10)The LDS were destined by God to explore, expand and conquer the land that was declared theirs to be a place of safety.
The Americas were intended to be a place where the only king was God and we would do only his works.
Now while the LDS church has conquered most of Utah they're a long way off from declaring this a holy land or even thinking of it that way.
Why? Because the Jaredites were already lead there and told how shit would be done.
>"And he had sworn in his wrath unto the brother of Jared, that whoso should possess this land of promise, from that time henceforth and forever, should aserve him, the true and only God, or they should be bswept off when the fulness of his wrath should come upon them.And now, we can behold the decrees of God concerning this land, that it is a land of promise; and whatsoever nation shall possess it shall serve God, or they shall be swept off when the fulness of his wrath shall come upon them. And the fulness of his wrath cometh upon them when they are ripened in iniquity." (Ether 2: 8-9)Your interpretation of whole books is very insulting as you're attempting to prop up a genuinely incorrect interpretation with cherry picked scripture you haven't actually read let alone understand.
