Mormon Prophesy Behind Glenn Beck's Message

In one of his first appearances on Fox News, Glenn Beck sent a coded message to the nation's six million Mormons -- or at least those Mormons who believe in what the Latter-day Saints call "the White Horse Prophecy."

"We are at the place where the Constitution hangs in the balance," Beck told Bill O'Reilly on November 14, 2008, just after President Obama's election. "I feel the Constitution is hanging in the balance right now, hanging by a thread unless the good Americans wake up."

The Constitution is hanging by a thread.

Most Americans would have heard this as just another bit of overblown commentary and thought nothing more of it. But to those familiar with the White Horse Prophecy, it was an unmistakable signal.

Was it just a coincidence in wording, or was Beck, a 1999 Mormon convert, speaking in coded language about the need to fulfill the Mormon prophecy? A conversation on Beck's radio show ten days earlier would seem to rule out coincidence. Beck was interviewing Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah, also a Mormon, when he said: "I heard Barack Obama talk about the Constitution and I thought, we are at the point or we are very near the point where our Constitution is hanging by a thread."

1. I've finally decided his moronic followers just simply don't listen

to a word he says. Or at least they don't process the words. How else to explain the non-response to the ridiculous, insane, and generally despicable crap he spews or the disconnect when his followers rail against Mormons, but.....:shrug:

2. this little tidbit just might be the impetus to push evangelicals

out of this camp. I'd love to see this phoney fall regardless of the reason why.

12. I would love to see him fall also

As for his followers, well I tried, on another board, to discuss the fact that they would never let a Mormon who came to the door into their home to try and convert them, yet they listen to Beck, a Mormon, every single day and he tells them things like "if your church teaches social justice, leave them now"! No matter what I said those people would not, or could not see the point I was making, they defended Beck and said the left was simply trying to get them to stop listening to Beck by using his religion against him! I asked them if their pastor knew they were letting some Mormon tell them to leave their church simply because they helped those in need, what would the pastor say? They would not answer me!

I really think Beck wants to start his own religious following, using very radical Mormon beliefs, and a lot of his own sick beliefs! The man "NEEDS" to have power over people, and he now has a following, and they do his bidding. I think he has an infatuation with Hitler, and actually wants to be like him, able to control the thinking of his followers, and get them to do his dirty work! Beck is a dangerous person, and even if the religious leaders in this country come out against him, I think many of his followers will actually leave their present religion and follow him. I have seen this before where a religion can control the thinking of their followers and get them to believe anything they say, and one thing I can say about Beck, is he knows how to con the ones who are gullible enough to believe him!

7. I think you've got it right...

their brains shut off when Beck comes on.

After eight years of BushCo* (the bestestest pResidency EVAH!) they're fully indoctrinated.

Thank Dog it's only 23%.

3. The Constitution has been "hanging by a thread" since December, 2000 when the Supremes

selected *.

4. No fucking doubt...nt

5. He did a bit not too long ago about some artifact in a museum

The Mormons have long claimed it to be proof of Jesus' visiting the United States, but historians/archaeologists have a different (and probably correct) view of what it was. He went into a lot of number symbolism and other crap to give it more credence to his conspiracy-theorist viewers, etc. I can't remember exactly how he couched it, but he essentially was passing a piece of Mormon doctrine off as a conspiracy theory to his predominantly conservative Christian viewers. I had to laugh because they probably believed him.

6. What is the White Horse Prophecy? n/t

[mod mom]

11. from Milbank's article:

"The phrase is often attributed to the Prophet Joseph Smith, founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or Mormon Church. Smith is believed to have said in 1840 that when the Constitution hangs by a thread, elders of the Mormon Church will step in -- on the proverbial white horse -- to save the country."

If you'd like further info, just google it. :hi:

8. This world we live in is so beautiful, and human beings are such amazing creatures, and we could

have such prosperity and peace. It makes me sick that there are people who sit around and make shit up to get power like this. I'm not a big fan of religion anyway, but Joseph Smith was an evil huckster of almost unbelievable depth, IMO.

9. Orrin Hatch's Patriarchal blessing

indicates that HE is suuposed to save the constitution when it's hanging by a thread, not Beck. Maybe it really means that Hatch will be saving the the thread hanging constitution FROM beck? You know God's words are constantly open for interpretation.

for those who don't know, a Patriarchal blessing is the mormon version of a fortun telling given to each worthy mormon member.

Beck has some real megalomaniacle aspects lately that have stepped over some mythical, magical line of Divine intervention and god/beck conversation. Even Fox is getting nervous.

10. tin foil hat

firmly placed on head.

he was also secret messaging the following groups:

1) aryan nation
2) KKK
3) ancient astronauts
4) several other galactic civilizations
5) his secret strike force with a plan to irradiate all the gold at Ft Knox to increase the value of his gold. he has been quoted as saying "I conservatively estimate, ten times".

13. Well a Morman DID step up to save the nation

HARRY REID...he's introduced legislation after legislation to save the country and Beck's yahoo's have been fighting him...(the repub Senators)...

14. What an idiot..the Constitution was destroyed under the evangelical Bush.
