Although Cain was once a good little boy and enjoyed many spiritual gifts in his early life, he became familiar with the Prince of Darkness, and established a friendship with him that would last forever. Together Cain and Satan plotted and planned their agenda like partners in a great business venture. They made contracts, covenants, and promises which delighted them both–and the world came to their bargaining table. They formed a great secret society, but God was not included.
Since they didn’t like the government and order of God’s Kingdom, they replaced it with a new world order–a term that has a familiar ring today. They needed helpers so they recruited and trained many others, whom they enlisted through bribes, payoffs, and seduction. Deception has always been a pre-dominant tool in establishing and continuing this powerful dominion. And thus, to cover all their bases, they placed loyal servants in leadership positions in every area–economic, social, political and religious.
But why do good people allow such wicked individuals to lead them, both politically and spiritually? And why, when a wise and worthy man comes along, does he get persecuted and rejected? Listen to Joseph Smith:
The world always mistook false prophets for true ones, and those that were sent of God, they considered to be false prophets, and hence they killed, stoned, punished and imprisoned the true prophets, and these [171] had to hide themselves “in deserts and dens, and caves of the earth,” and though the most honorable men of the earth, they banished them from their society as vagabonds, whilst they cherished, honored and supported knaves, vagabonds, hypocrites, impostors, and the basest of men. (TPJS, p. 206)
