An aside

"In the last days, or in the days of the Gentiles--yea, behold all the nations of the Gentiles and also the Jews, both those who shall come upon this land and those who shall be upon other lands, yea, even upon all the lands of the earth, behold, they will be drunken with iniquity and all manner of abominations" (2 Nephi 27:1 emphasis added).

Is it any wonder the Book of Mormon warns us to repent?

After speaking of the parable of the wheat and the tares, I asked our teacher's quorum where they thought the burning would begin at the second coming.  They gave several thoughtful answers which included places such as Las Vegas, San Francisco, etc.  I agree with them that those are wicked cities.  The correct answer surprised them:

"And upon my house shall it begin, and from my house shall it go forth, saith the Lord." (D&C 112:25 see also vs. 23-26)
