To those of you who know of the Prophet Abinadi's mission in Book of Mormon times, you will be able to see the similarities of Abinadi and our own present Abinadi--Ron Paul. That is... if you are familiar with what Ron Paul truly stands for.

At the time in Nephite history when Abinadi comes on the scene, the Nephite leader, King Noah had become very corrupt. He had begun to tax the people heavily and to build large, expensive buildings. Isn't that what we see in Washington D.C. today? It seems that when people see the impressive buildings of their nations, they are somehow fooled into thinking all is well. How could anything be wrong in such a prosperous nation as one which builds such beautiful buildings? These buildings give people a false sense of security. King Noah also brought in corrupt men to be the leaders of the society. These were the High Priests who were perverting the ways of the Lord. They were going along with the King in whatever he desired to do. They put up no fuss when King Noah's power began to corrupt the society. They were participants in the fat of the land and the devilish ways that King Noah was slowly making acceptable to the people. They took advantage of their positions in that society to gain favors and privileges. Don't we also see that taking place in our society today?

We have the President of the United States, who is usurping power and doing his own will, instead of following the law of the land, which is the Constitution. Our President has surrounded himself by corrupt men and women, who will go along with his plans to take power from the Congress and transfer it to the Executive Branch, or himself. These powers which the President is taking are being used to start wars, declare martial law whenever he sees fit, spying on Americans using the internet and phone companies, giving undo authority to others to search persons and luggage without warrant. The abuses go on.

Ron Paul is the one of the very few men in Congress who dare take a firm stand on these issues. Ron Paul has spoken out for many years about the abuses of power and total disregard that has been shown the Constitution. He has been the voice of warning for over 20 years. He has held up the Constitution as the standard of good moral principles and good government. And, like King Benjamin in the Book of Mormon, he has refused to profit from his service as a leader. Ron Paul has not partaken of the lucrative Congressional Pension Plan.

Like Abinadi, Ron Paul has dared to speak up against the very corrupt powers which are controlling our nation. Ron Paul has warned us about what will happen to the nation's economy if the Federal Reserve is not stopped. The printing of money based on nothing will destroy a currency. The Federal Reserve is also using its powers to control other nations and create a globalist state more powerful and controlling than any in the history of the world.

When Abinadi spoke to King Noah and the wicked High Priests, they chose to ignore his warnings and condemnations. They denied that they were wicked and instead tried to make Abinadi look fanatical. They were angry at Abinadi for daring to criticize them. There was only one High Priest who chose to listen. His name was Alma. He was humble enough to recognize the truth and do something with it. He realized that ignoring the words of God would have dire consequences for the people, and he made efforts to go about teaching people the truth. He made a difference with the knowledge he received

.If we are able to recognize the dangers in our society today, what will we do about it? Will we be like the High Priests who shunned the truth and refused to receive it, or will we be humble enough to realize where we are at as a society? Are we doing anything to fight the evils going on within our government today, or are we leaving that for some other patriotic, lonely soul to do. It is the duty of every American to help preserve the freedoms that the Constitution provides, and see to it that our government does not overstep its bounds.

For almost 100 years now, too many Americans have been lazy and apathetic, not wanting to get involved and learn about what kind of government our Founding Fathers actually set up for us. Many Americans are unable to recognize the difference between good and proper government and the evil socialist ideas and programs of the devil. The devil is carefully wrapping his chains around our nation, and like the stories in the Book of Mormon, he is using a relatively small group of people to do it. Unfortunately, like Nephite history, this group is growing because of the love of money.

Ron Paul is doing something. He has a bill to abolish the Federal Reserve and bring this country back to sound money. You say abolish the Federal Reserve? That sounds awfully radical! It is only only radical if you don't understand what the Federal Reserve is doing and has done since 1913. It is ignorance that prevents us from seeing the need to abolish this private bank that is destroying our country. In order for Ron Paul to succeed in Congress and in upholding the Constitution, he needs the support of the American people. He needs an educated people, who know enough to recognize that things are not right in America.

What is at the heart of the subversion of our country?

Do we care enough to find out or will we just keep going about out daily business because we personally have not been affected by this--yet?

Will we be like Alma and at least try to save our country, or will we admit defeat now?

If we say there is nothing we can do, then we deserve the slavery that our current leaders will bring to this country. Just like the Nephites during the time of King Noah were brought into slavery, we will also be brought into slavery if we choose to do nothing and go along with the status quo. We don't have time to waste. Only if enough people are awakened to their awful situation and decide to take action, then we can stop what is progressing, which is global government. Do you love your freedom? If you do, what are you willing to do to help preserve it? I hope you will ponder these questions and decide to take action. We need to unite as a people and fight to defend our freedoms--before we no longer can.

I also see him as the Modern day Captain Moroni. He has served in the military, and he has called everyone to gather under the Title of Liberty, the Constitution, to try to protect our families. There is something that Moroni said that made me think of Ron Paul.. Alma 60: 36 36 Behold, I am Moroni, your chief captain. I seek not for power, but to pull it down. I seek not for honor of the world, but for the glory of my God, and the freedom and welfare of my country. Ron Paul "I don't want to run your lives, I don't want to rule the world......."

	I have only one thing to say about this. You are already in slavery. All of you work currently and pay more than the 50% of what you make. That is what the people of noah payed when in slavery to the Lamonites. You have slumbered too long and now you live in the days of Limhi not Abinidi. Destruction awaits you all only the coming of the Lord can deliver you. Ron can't

	WOW, you are really out of touch if you think Ron Paul is the modern day Abinadi. I like Ron Paul and will vote for him. But he's not a prophet of God. You need to spend more time in the scriptures and find the mind and will of the Lord.
