Ohne Gott und Sonnenschein bringen wir die Ernte ‘rein
When I was in
Berlin I would often go to East Berlin where the Russians had their
headquarters. As propaganda, there were large banners to let the
inhabitants of East Germany know how great East Germany was. I don’t
know if the people believed it, because there were many people fleeing
to the west. That is why they built the wall and had the border
restrictions as depicted in the movie “Night Crossing”.
One of
these banners was placed in strategic spots all over the agricultural
areas in the East. The translation is, without God and sunshine we will
bring in the harvest.
This phrase came to mind yesterday as we
were reading in second Nephi. The prophecy was about there being those
who would say there is no God.
Karl Marks said that religion was
the opiate of the people. The communist party was against religion and
that ideology has spread to China and all of the associated countries.
It is presumptuous of anyone to think that one could harvest crops without sunshine or the blessings of God.
We are happy that East Germany is now not under Communism and are free to worship God.
