Is national righteousness a predictor of national extermination?1
Helaman 4:26 For behold, they saw that the strength of the Lamanites was as great as their strength, even man for man. And thus had they fallen into this great transgression; yea, thus had they become weak, because of their transgression, in the space of not many years.2
Forsaking the strength of covenants and righteous living. Does societal righteousness or its lack provide such notable differences as life-and-death of the entire nation?
