SECTION III
ZION — AWAKE AND ARISE
For behold, at that day shall he rage in the hearts of the children of men, and stir them up to anger against that which is good.
And others will he pacify, and loll them away into carnal security, that they will say: All is well in Zion; yea, Zion prospereth, all is well — and thus the devil cheateth their souls, and leadeth them away carefully down to
hell. . . .
Therefore, wo be unto him that is at ease in Zion !
Wo be unto him that crieth.. All is well !
Yea, wo be unto himthat hearkeneth onto the precepts of men. . . .
Book of Mormon, 2 Nephi 28:20-26
O that ye would awake; awake from a deep sleep, yea, even from the sleep of hell, and shake off the awful chains by which ye are bound, which are the chains which bind the children of men, that they are carried away captive down
to the eternal gulf of misery and woe.
Book of Mormon, 2 Nephi 1:13
