The national religion: Mormon

The religious belief is personal alone, and it determined from familiar education, psychological conditions of everybody, and other, but the belief to a national religion is particular, and during the read of Book of Mormon we can understand that Joseph Smith(1805-1844), considered the prophet from the Mormons confession, I think that he has had alone the think of found an American religion, some step of Holy Bible, Smith said that he has found the tables of the new confession on 22th  September 1827, but the divine messenger, or angel, given these tables of an hill: “Near of village of Manchester, county of Ontario, in New York state”; this gift is happened in USA, it indicative to a national intention. The steps of Ancient Testament are present also during following tale, because: “When it knows that I have the tables, it much attempts to steal it”, this is contemporary version of Moses that destroyed the tables of laws when he has seen the idolatry of people; this is the contemporary version of sin of Moses. The Sodom and Gomorra has inspired the tale of Lehi and his family, when Lot escapes from Sodom with his wife and daughters: “The God warned Lehi of walk away from Jerusalem, because he prophesizes to people regard their iniquity…he travelled for three days in the desert”; it is contemporary version of Biblical Exodus and the three days of travel is the eco of Resurrection of Christ. The tale of Lot followed to inspired: “It happen that my father to Lehi being go out, he prayed  the God, so whole his heart, favor his people…”; it is the lot that meet the angels of God in Holy Bible. The fire column of Biblical Exodus is source to this step: “It happen that while he was praying the God a fire column and it laid itself in front of him, and he seen and heard very things, and to things that he seen and heard, he trembled…”, it is destruction of Sodom and Gomorra. The Apocalypse of John has inspired this step: “He seen a guy the gone down from sky and he seen that his sheen was superior than sun in half day…”, and the Apostles are the twelfth that gone down from sky with the first vision. The Sodom and Gomorra pursued their presence because the step following: “So and very things read my father regard to Jerusalem: that it is going to destroy with its citizens. The tables of law, of Moses are used to this step: “But I am going to make the tale of my actions and my days. So I make a summary of history of summary of my father on table that I have made through my hands. The source of this tale is Holy Bible, but the sake is alone the birth of national Church, this is a American Church, because the German, through Luther has their, the Muslims has their, the Anglican has their, hence also the American has their. Smith has been the American prophet more than a prophet.This step is proof of all affirmed: “…you obey  to my orders, you are going to be prosper and you are going to be conducted  to a promised ; yes a land that I have prepared to you…”; it is easy imagine that this land is American land. Other step: “Since you will obey to my orders, you are going to be to govern and teacher to your brothers” this is Joseph Smith seen herself as teacher of faithful Mormons.; and the break of alliance between God and men through the break of law tables, is repeated here: “Since, in day they are going to be rebel against me I will curse them. The chapter 3 a dream is tool to a revelation, it is from Genesis, when Jacob seen in his dream a staircase until to paradise, and Lehi, and his brothers, that got up to Jerusalem is a took directly from the staircase and angels that got up and got down, and Jerusalem of the Holy Bible is USA. The violence that Laman and Lemuel used against their minor brothers is took from passion of Christ, humiliations and pains that he has borne. The angel that is shown to these major brothers is took from Gospel of Matthew, when the angel informed Joseph that the persecutor of Christ child are died, and the same angel said to Joseph that he must go back to land of Jerusalem, as the Laban. The progeny that is mentioned in this step: “Since your progeny is going to obey to my orders and it will be prosper in the land of promised”, this step is directly from promise to Abraham from God, but in religious context this land is USA and the progeny is Mormons. The decapitation of Laban: “I obeyed to voice of Spirit and I took Laban to hairs, and I decapitated him with his sword”, this is took from Judith and Holofernes. The treasure of Nefi is same of Gospel of March regard to offer of widow. The biblical  Exodus, when the Jewish compelled to Moses: “In Egypt lack may the tombs, because you have leaded us to die in desert?...”.Again the USA with hide name of premised land in same chapter: “But I have reached a land promised”; and from Gospel of Matthew and March he has took two episodes when Christ said regard the hardness of heart, and Smith used it: “here you are my major brothers and why are you so heard to your heart and so blind to your brain…”; and the step when Nefi seen a great house lived from men and women, this step is directly from ark that Nai has built, The Gospel of Matthew when Christ is carried on the temple and the evil aske that he goes down, this the step from this episode: “I was kidnapped in the God’s Spirit, so on the highest mountain that I haven’t never seen after…”. The moral judgement is expressed in this step: “I looked and I seen the whore of whole word and she seat on much waters and she has domain on whole word, among nations, tribes and languages and peoples…”; hence these tribes, peoples and nations are every nations and peoples that aren’t Mormons, it is very partial judgement and very scant Christian, and the church that he seen is comparable to other religions and religions, it is very nationalist think; and proof of this interpretation is in following step: “And occurred  that I seen that the great mother of abominations herded multitudes on the word, among the nations of Gentiles to fight against the son of God”; an historical step, although alone hint: “ …that I seen that the angry of God was poured church great and abominable so that were wars and rumors”, it is the wars of religion that were fought in Europe during the 17^th century, and the wars in Islam to officially to religion questions among Sunnis and Shia.
