31 Behold, it shall come to pass that your pride and your arrogance and your hate for your enemies shall be the means of your own destruction in the latter days.
32 And when ye should have been constructing houses, and gardens, and naming these things after your leaders, which would do good unto the people of the world and would not destroy them; yea, instead of doing these things, ye shall be destroying the fathers and mothers, and the sisters and the brothers, the uncles and the aunts of your enemies.
33 And when ye have destroyed them, then their sons and daughters, and their sisters and brothers, and their nieces and nephews shall rise up against you and hate you.
34 And because ye are more powerful than they shall be, they shall not come up against you in open, but shall come in among you in those parts of your society that are weak and vulnerable to their attacks.
35 And in spite of your technology and your great weapons of destruction, in their vengeance they shall begin to kill your children, and your brothers and your sisters, and your loved ones.
36 And now, do ye not know that I have seen the same thing pass among my own people, the Nephites? Do ye not know that I not only speak these things as a prophecy concerning you, but that I speak these things from my own experience?
37 Behold, the Nephite people were a great nation, and they had pride in their nation and in their leaders who led them into war against the Lamanites, who they looked upon as their enemies.
38 And now, if a leader would go to war with another nation, then this leader should send forth his own children to fight for the peace which he supposeth justifieth this war.
39 For behold, my father hath sent me forth to fight the Lamanites, and he hath given up his
own life fighting, not for the sake of righteousness, but so that he could live another day. For at the present time, the Nephites are not righteous, and we have no hope in the war which we have waged against the Lamanites.
40 And if a leader is not willing to send forth his own sons and daughters and sacrifice them to fight a war that he hath decided to pursue, then why should the poor and those who give unto him his power be required to fight in this war for him?
41 And ye can know for a surety the righteous desires of any leader to wage war on another
people, if that same leader is willing to sacrifice his own sons and daughters, even his own life to
fight the war that he hath caused.
42 And ye of the latter days should require this thing of any leader who goeth forth to war
and bringeth under conscription your sons and daughters that they might die for his cause.
43 And your wars shall not be righteous wars, but wars that are set up to protect the blessings
that ye shall receive from Satan, who is the god in whom ye shall trust to fight your wars for you.
44 And after my own people, the Nephites, began to set their hearts upon the fine things of
the world and the glories and honors of men, they began to follow the plan of Lucifer, which
requireth them that they raise up a means of force to protect their riches and their families
from their enemies.
45 And ye have the history of my people in the record that the Lord hath already caused to
come forth among you. And if ye have read the record of my father, then ye would know
of the many wars and the misery that my people have brought upon themselves because
of their wickedness.
46 And now, this is the exact reason why my father was commanded by the Lord to include
so much concerning these wars among the Nephites and the Lamanites, so that ye might
learn from the mistakes that they have made.
