Was Mitt Romney’s vote the fulfillment of a Mormon prophecy?
LA Times ^ | Feb 5, 2020 | RONE TEMPEST

Posted on 02/05/2020 8:10:33 PM PST by ConservativeMind

Utahans reacted to Sen. Mitt Romney’s decision to break Republican ranks with a mixture of pride and dismay Wednesday, with some in this majority-Mormon state even suggesting that his vote to remove President Trump from office recalled a prophecy attributed to the church founder Joseph Smith.

Although generally debunked as apocryphal by modern historians, the so-called White Horse Prophecy dates to 1844 when Smith himself was a candidate for president of the United States. The Mormons — members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — have long regarded the U.S. Constitution as a divinely inspired document.

According to the legend, Smith predicted that someday the Constitution would be in extreme danger — hanging “like a thread as fine as silk fiber”— and that a member of the church would ride in on a white horse to save it.

“I think Mitt Romney is under the impression that he is going to be the white horse Republican who will save the country,” said Salt Lake City historian Will Bagley, a frequent critic of the church and its leaders. “Whether or not that would happen is a different matter, but I think if it came down to picking between Mitt Romney and Mike Pence, most people would go with Romney.”

Yeah, I wrote Foolishly. Harry Reid, Jeff Flake, Mitt Romney, Tom Udall etc. have been such great Conservatives....

(Actually I originally meant that any prophecy about Romney saving the Constitution was moronic,and not an attack on the Mormon Religion..... but if the shoe fits.)

Mitt Romney is a person without any principles of any kind, variety, or description. He’s called Etch A Sketch for a reason.

if this is true ….Romney feels he is there to fulfil prophesy he should never be allowed near the presidency...he is dangerous in that he believes that he is an arbiter of what is correct and is willing to arrange things to match his belief...historically those type our bad news.

The Prophecy is only what the Oganization’s Leadership uses to keep it’s membership connected with the Organization and the revenue flow going..as with all their rituals and various twisted teachings.

Romneys interests are purely sustaining his position, and the will of the Leadership of this ‘Globalist Corporation’ masquerading as a Church, which he serves first and foremost for his own and his families vast business interests...both in Ukraine and across the Global.

Romney’s accountable to the Globalist Cabal. He’s there guy to move however they choose yet keep him within the GOP loop.

Oh, dear....if you’re Catholic, then you belong to “the great and abominable whore of Babylon” according to the Book of Mormon.

So do I. Dominus vobiscum. y’all.

Romney is a separatist. When Mormons dream of the future it is only for Deseret, the kingdom in the desert that they now own lock stock and barrell.

Who can sort them all out?


Since Living Prophets® and others can't seem to fathom truth from fiction (If any man lacks wisdom...) about things presented to them; then just who CAN a person trust to have spiritual discernment these days??
