No Kings in America. The prophet Jacob Prophesied 'this land shall be a land of liberty unto the Gentiles, and there shall be no kings upon the land, who shall raise up unto the gentiles.' (2 Nephi 10:10-14.) This prophecy has been fulfilled for from Alaska on the north to the straits of Magellan in the south continent, the 'new world' under the consecration of God, is blessed with freedom, and republican, not monarchial institutions.
