And while the angel spake these words, I beheld and saw that the seed of
my brethren did contend against my seed, according to the word of the angel;
and because of the
pride of my seed, and the atemptations
of the devil, I beheld that the seed of my brethren did boverpower the people of my seed.
20
And it came to pass that I beheld, and saw the people of the seed of my
brethren that they had overcome my seed; and they went forth in multitudes upon
the face of the land.
21 And I saw them gathered
together in multitudes; and I saw awars
and rumors of wars among them; and in wars and rumors of wars I saw bmany generations pass away.
22
And the angel said unto me: Behold these shall adwindle in unbelief.
23
And it came to pass that I beheld, after they had dwindled in unbelief
they became a adark, and
loathsome, and a bfilthy
people, full of cidleness
and all manner of abominations.
-when people lose or reject the
truths of the gospel they become depraved, degenerate, carnal, uninspired and
retrograde. They literally take a step
back in terms of civility, intelligence, refinement and progress. Natural regression of the species is a very
real phenomenon when humans embrace the idea that we are nothing more than
advanced animals -we begin to live
according to an advanced form of animalistic morality. God given or god centric morality is
abandoned.
