"7 Wherefore, this aland is consecrated unto him whom he shall bring. And if it so be that they shall serve him according to the commandments which he hath given, it shall be a land of bliberty unto them; wherefore, they shall never be brought down into captivity; if so, it shall be because of iniquity; for if iniquity shall abound ccursed shall be the land for their sakes, but unto the righteous it shall be blessed forever."
Verse 6 shows to me that this land of the Americas is truly a promised and protected land of the Lord. This verse states that there shall none come into this land save they shall be brought by the hand of the Lord. Who has come to this land? I'm sure that there are many who came to this land that we are not currently aware of. But, there are the Jaredites, Nephites, and Mulekites from the Book of Mormon. There are Olmecs, Incas, Mayans, and Aztecs. Then there were Vikings, British, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and several other European countries. Today there are some from all nations that come to this land. I still believe that the Lord's promise of none coming to this land save by His hand is true. I even thought about myself. I was born here in this land, in the United States, in the latter days. I believe that it was also by the hand of the Lord that I came here, too. I am thankful.
Verse 7 states the promise and the accountability of those that come to this land. Those who are brought here to this land by the hand of the Lord have it consecrated unto them, that is the land was set apart to be a sacred place for them. This is the promise that was given to them that makes it a sacred land. The people that live here shall serve the Lord by keeping His commandments that He has given them. If they do so, they shall have liberty. It shall be a land of liberty or freedom. They shall never be brought down into captivity. If they ever do, it shall be because of iniquity, or because they didn't heed the commandments, and for those people, the land shall be cursed with that captivity which could come in many forms. However, again, for those who are righteous, it shall be blessed forever. I believe that this promise can come to pass personally as well as collectively. The scriptures here point us and motivate us to be more righteous.
