This message was given by Ezra Taft Benson in the Assembly Hall at Temple Square on 11 Feb 1966. The message was given to The Utah Forum for the American Idea.
Then go get a firebrand and burn every American out of his soft comfortable bed until they end this menace! Enough talk! Enough reminiscing! TO BATTLE!
President Benson is one of the best prophets ever. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and also a Patriot and supporter of the Constitution of The United States as are all faithful members. The truth is spoken by President Benson and millions love and support him. Today in the year 2019 we need to hear his words more than ever.
This holds true today and things will get worse before the return of our Savior. We need to fight the good fight of faith and never ever sound retreat ! God bless the united states of America and God bless the Church of Jesus Christ of latter - day saints and God bless our prophet.
56 years later and here we are repeating history as we have not learned the lessons. This is an amazing speech and one everyone should listen to especially as we celebrate our nations independence this weekend. Grateful this popped up in my feed.
This is an old video but shows we've come full circle. We cannot afford to bury our heads in the sand in 2020. Americans must be informed and stand up for freedom. America is the "promised land" and that's why so many people try to come here.
Taking religion out of the factor, because I am a Christian and not Mormon, this man is on target as far as politics, government and communism/socialism. He is a true American first.
@Cind Bye Members of The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter Day Saints Are Christians. See the name of the Church. We do read and study the Bible, just like other Christians do. However in that very same Bible, are mentioned Books and Prophets, that are not found in the Bible. Google the HISTORY OF THE BIBLE, see how many manuscripts were around, and not all became part of the Book we call The Bible. Also consider the words of the SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, when He says that He had sheep of another fold, whom He would visit after the ressurection. Indeed He did so. Read about it in The Book of Mormon, another Testament of JESUS CHRIST. The same teachings, the same God. Both books are Scripture. Mormons, or LDS are just names by which the members of The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter Day Saints, are known.
Ironically that sounds like Karl Marx! Marx said that history repeats, once as tragedy and then as comedy. I don't think ETB was much of a fan of Marx though. 🤔
I'm 55 years old, and I knew these troubles were coming when I was 16\17 years old. My father every year took me to New York and Washington by train.. I witnessed the factories of North Philadelphia close one by one. Then I watched the local news and watched these factories burn down one by one. At 17 I knew without manufacturing in America we were in for a depression greater than the great depression of the 1930's. At the age of 10 my father got me interested into collecting coins. From that I learned that after 1964 our quarters were no longer silver, and after 1967 our dimes and half dollars were no longer silver. I knew we were in trouble! I watched the news, seeing all our military was involved in with othe countries. I knew we were in trouble! Am I a prophet, no! I just observe and think for myself, and question EVERYTHING! If someone like myself could see all this coming, then everyone in the U.S.A. should have known!
i live in Ut. I wonder why is President Nelson not stepping up and raising a voice?? I wonder what the October conference will be all about 2020? Choose VP Biden is the best chance for America
Angelika Bertrand haha what? I live in Utah too, though I don’t see how that’s relevant, I know that Trumps character is definitely in question but look at what he’s done, he has been the most pro-life president we have ever had. And Biden is no moderate, look at everyone he has stuffed in his cabinet thus far. They are all radicals. If Biden wins then you can forget about the unborn’s right to live, as well as our 2nd amendment since Beto “hell yes I’m gonna take your guns” O’roque is going to be his gun tsar. It’s better that one man of questionable moral character be in power if his policies are good than for a nation to die in unbelief.
We are told by a living prophet what we need to know and hear in our day. But you can always go into deep prayer and plead for more light and wisdom. That's between you and God. Read James 1: 5
@@derekbaker4318 Probably a lot of members wouldnt like moroni's character either if he lived today. I agree with you, probably leaders dont talk about this topics because it would be a great division among members, I have seen a lot of identity politics and progressive thinking in many members, but I really wish leaders would give more talks like this.
President Benson spoke these words in 1966! Here we are in 2022, and LOOK at prophecy come TRUE! We have another CHAMPION for our Constitution of this United States of America up our sleeve! I won't mention his name, but any REAL Latter Day Saint will KNOW who I'm talking about. 🎉👍🏻🇺🇲 I LOVE our leaders ❤🤍💙 each one fulfills his foreordained purpose the Lord gave him💜💞
There's a great book by an LDS author that shows that there's perfect harmony between the prophetic statements concerning the garden of Eden being in Missouri and the Old Testament account. It's called Canaan, Babylon, and Egypt A Comparative Theological Analysis on Creation sold by Eborn Books. Great read. Thumbs up! 👍
Thank you Keith for posting the warning. I am looking for a Vice Presidential running mate. @t Please pray over it; if no one steps up we lose the Constitution. His Peace to you, Kyle
When John Adams was asked what lead to the founding of America, he responded, “our pulpits thundered.” It’s been too long since our pulpits have thundered.

Ezra Taft Benson is a true warrior Patriot! One of the greatest talks ever!
God bless President Benson. He warned us, but we didn’t listen.I love him; he was right.
Then go get a firebrand and burn every American out of his soft comfortable bed until they end this menace!
Enough talk!
Enough reminiscing!
TO BATTLE!
I agree. If he saw our country now, he would be heartbroken. God bless him for his bold and true speeches on freedom. 🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
These words bring me strength and courage in these trying times. We must have Courage. Stand for freedom no matter the cost.

FEARLESS! Is the word that keeps coming to mind listening to him speak. Absolutely, fearless.
This is chilling to listen to today. That being said, it isn't too late. We need to share this message with all who will hear it.

oh man, a true realist, nationalist and prophet of God. I have never regretted joining, I am honored.
I could only imagine what he would say in this day of national lock down.
Ezra Taft Benson a true Patriot. I love him. God Bless Ezra Taft Benson.
I wish we had him still... we need this message more now than ever
I sure miss President Benson, America needs him more than ever today!
America doesn't need a Führer.
This holds true today and things will get worse before the return of our Savior. We need to fight the good fight of faith and never ever sound retreat ! God bless the united states of America and God bless the Church of Jesus Christ of latter - day saints and God bless our prophet.

What a great man and patriot! If only we had someone of his character and backbone to lead the USA. He was truly a prophet of God!
Amen🙏

2021 and many Mormons still aren't listening!
Too many are fighting for the other side.
God always wins and people are waking up!

If you don't have time to watch the whole thing skip to 21:27-22:30. very powerful comment that should be heard around the world.
Amen America needs to listen to the voice of warning even today
Amazing.. 52 years later and we're fighting the same fight.. Stay on swivel yall
The voice of warning was real!!! ✌️🇺🇸
Best political speech I've seen!
Thank you so much!!! I love President Benson!
Beautifuly powerful! Thanks Pte. Benson!
true man of god,he knew what was going to happen to america forty five years ago.

In order to SEE, one only needs to LOOK
In order to HEAR, one only needs to LISTEN
Wise words, indeed!
Liberty!
This is so much more relevant now than it even was then, how come we don’t hear from church leaders on issues like this anymore???
i live in Ut. I wonder why is President Nelson not stepping up and raising a voice??
I wonder what the October conference will be all about 2020?

Bummer that more people aren't like this 😕 wish more politicians were honest like him

As true today as it was then. But we're a lot further down the rabbit hole.
America First MAGA Patriot as far as I'm concerned
16:10 Lets do it on internet. Vive la liberté!
We were warned.
Imagine if the modern leadership had the balls to speak like this!
Members in US are a bunch of snowflakes. Half of the membership would abandom the Church if they heard such a talk.
When John Adams was asked what lead to the founding of America, he responded, “our pulpits thundered.” It’s been too long since our pulpits have thundered.
I image he would be horrified by the state of our country today. Weve sailed past socialism and are barreling towards a neodigitalcommunism
JBS hasn't been vindicated yet
He saw prophesying of Trump
