As we observe the bicentennial of this great United States of America, I am reminded of two significant statements made by the Lord through his prophets:

“Behold, this is a choice land, and whatsoever nation shall possess it shall be free from bondage, and from captivity, and from all other nations under heaven, if they will but serve the God of the land, who is Jesus Christ.” Ether 2:12

He also said,

“And for this purpose have I established the Constitution of this land, by the hands of wise men whom I raised up unto this very purpose.”
