Prophecy warns of Constitution hanging by a thread

In a recent discussion, the enduring relevance of the U.S. Constitution was highlighted, referencing prophetic statements made by Joseph Smith, the founder of the Latter-day Saint movement. Participants reflected on Smith's assertion that a time would come when the Constitution would be in jeopardy, described as \"hanging by a thread.\" This sentiment was echoed by prominent figures such as Brigham Young and Jedidiah M. Grant, who affirmed Smith's prophecy, suggesting that in times of crisis, the faithful would rise to protect the nation's foundational document.

Eliza Arsenault also contributed to the conversation, recalling Smith's warnings about a future departure from the Constitution's original principles of freedom and civil rights. The discussion underscored a belief that the \"sons of Zion\" would play a crucial role in safeguarding the Constitution during tumultuous times.

President Ezra Taft Benson's remarks were cited, emphasizing that the Constitution's preservation would rely on citizens who value freedom and adhere to its principles. The meeting concluded with a call to action, encouraging attendees to embody these values in their daily lives, reinforcing the notion that the responsibility to uphold the Constitution lies with the people.
