What Message Did Biden Send with His Handshake?

Last week President Joe Biden met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in China. A picture embedded in an article written by Terence Jeffrey and published in The Daily Signal shows Biden shaking hands with Wang.

The interesting thing about the photo is that it appeared on the web site of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for China – not any of the American media’s web sites. Another interesting thing about the article is a statement by Biden, asking Wang Yi “to extend his greetings to President Xi Jinping and expounded on the position that the U.S. values its relations with China.” A third interesting fact from the article is that Wang met with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and national security adviser Jake Sullivan.

My attention was immediately drawn to Jeffrey’s article by its title “Biden Sends Wrong Message on Genocide With a Handshake.” My reason: secret words and handshakes are ways that members of secret combinations communicate with each other. It is no secret for my regular readers that I believe that Joe Biden is a compromised POTUS. I believe that he has sold America out to our enemies – Russia, China, Ukraine, Iran, and who knows who else. Therefore, I am wondering if the handshake with Wang a secret message to members of the secret combinations working together to bring down America.

Secret combinations are groups of people, who use any means necessary to get power and gain and who support each other in their wickedness. If supported by the people, secret combinations can result in the destruction of entire nations. The Book of Mormon – Another Testament of Jesus Christ tells of the destruction of two great civilizations who were overcome by secret combinations. An ancient American prophet wrote the following words to warn our generation.

18 And it came to pass that they formed a secret combination, even as they of old; which combination is most abominable and wicked above all, in the sight of God.


19 For the Lord worketh not in secret combinations, neither doth he will that man should shed blood, but in all things hath forbidden it, from the beginning of man.


20 And now I, Moroni, do not write the manner of their oaths and combinations, for it hath been made known unto me that they are had among all people, and they are had among the Lamanites.


21 And they have caused the destruction of this people of whom I am now speaking [Jaredites], and also the destruction of the people of Nephi [Nephites].


22 And whatsoever nation shall uphold such secret combinations, to get power and gain, until they shall spread over the nation, behold, they shall be destroyed; for the Lord will not suffer that the blood of his saints, which shall be shed by them, shall always cry unto him from the ground for vengeance upon them and yet he avenge them not.


23 Wherefore, O ye Gentiles [that is us], it is wisdom in God that these things should be shown unto you, that thereby ye may repent of your sins, and suffer not that these murderous combinations shall get above you, which are built up to get power and gain – and the work, yea, even the work of destruction come upon you, yea, even the sword of the justice of the Eternal God shall fall upon you, to your overthrow and destruction if ye shall suffer these things to be.


24 Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this secret combination which shall be among you; or wo be unto it, because of the blood of them who have been slain; for they cry from the dust for vengeance upon it, and also upon those who built it up.


25 For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries; and it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people, for it is built up by the devil… (Ether 8:18-25).

 

7 And they hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord, because of their wicked combinations; wherefore, there began to be wars and contentions in all the land, and also many famines and pestilences, insomuch that there was a great destruction, such an one as never had been known upon the face of the earth…


22 And they did reject all the words of the prophets, because of their secret society and wicked abominations.

(Ether 11:7, 22).

 

25 And thus we see that the Lord did visit them in the fulness of his wrath, and their wickedness and abominations had prepared a way for their everlasting destruction. (Ether 14:25).


Here are the words of a modern-day prophet, then-Elder Ezra Taft Benson of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

But the greatest handbook for freedom in this fight against evil is the Book of Mormon.

This leads me to the second great civic standard for the Saints. For in addition to our inspired Constitution, we have the scriptures.

Joseph Smith said that the Book of Mormon was the “keystone of our religion” and the “most correct” book on earth. (DHC, vol. 6, p. 56). This most correct book on earth states that the downfall of two great American civilizations came as a result of secret conspiracies whose desire was to overthrow the freedom of the people. “And they have caused the destruction of this people of whom I am now speaking,” says Moroni, “and also the destruction of the people of Nephi.” (Ether 8:21.)

Now undoubtedly Moroni could have pointed out many factors that led to the destruction of the people, but notice how he singled out the secret combinations, just as the Church today could point out many threats to peace, prosperity, and the spread of God’s work, but it has singled out the greatest threat as the godless conspiracy. There is no conspiracy theory in the Book of Mormon – it is a conspiracy fact.

Then Moroni speaks to us in this day and says, “Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this secret combination which shall be among you.” (Ether 8:14.)

The Book of Mormon further warns that “whatsoever nation shall uphold such secret combinations, to get power and gain, until they shall spread over the nation, behold they shall be destroyed….” (Ether 8:22.)

This scripture should alert us to what is ahead unless we repent, because there is no question but that as people of the free world, we are increasingly upholding many of the evils of the adversary today. By court edict goddess conspirators can run for government office, teach in our schools, hold office in labor unions, work in our defense lants, serve in our merchant marines, etc. As a nation, we are helping to underwrite many evil revolutionaries in our country.

Now we are assured that the Church will remain on the earth until the Lord comes again – but at what price? The Saints in the early days were assured that Zion would be established in Jackson County, but look at what their unfaithfulness cost them in bloodshed and delay.

President Clark warned us that “we stand in danger of losing our liberties, and that once lost, only blood will bring them back; and once lost, we of this church will, in order to keep the Church going forward, have more sacrifices to make and more persecutions to endure than we have yet known….” (CR, April 1944, p. 116.) And he stated that if the conspiracy “comes here it will probably come in its full vigor and there will be a lot of vacant places among those who guide and direct, not only this government, but also this Church of ours.” (CR, April 1952.) (“Civic Standards for the Faithful Saints,” Ensign, July 1972, pp. 60-66).

Now you can either count these words as a conspiracy and say I am crazy to think that Biden is corrupted, or you can believe the words of these prophets and prepare yourself and your family to stand on the Lord’s side.
