Who are "they"?
Permalink  

I was reading in Joseph Smith History in the PoG last night and came across this verse.  It was from Moroni's first appearance to Joseph one night.
  37 For behold, the aday cometh that shall bburn as an oven, and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly shall burn as cstubble; for they that come shall burn them, saith the Lord of Hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. 

Who are "they"? 

The Bible version in Malachi reads:
  1 aFor, behold, the bday cometh, that shall cburn as an oven; and all the dproud, yea, and all that do ewickedly, shall be fstubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor gbranch.

they = slimey aliens with big heads and tiny bodies and lots of gross looking tentacle thingees in big ships that come down and shot blue laser beams into major population centers, destroying the cities and killing millions... until Will Smith, Bill Pullman, and Jeff Goldblum save the day by infecting their mother ship with a computer virus and shooting down the big ships with F-14 Tomcats... rofl

Seriously though, I would think that the "they" refers to destroying angels that are sent forth at the second coming. Metaphorically speaking, it could also refer to those whom we have to pass by to enter the Celestial kingdom. Those who are not able to pass by them will certainly be burning in conscience because they will not be able to go on, and thus will be removed from the chain of sealings (leaving them with neither root nor branch).

Just my thoughts though.

 I don't have time to look, but probably your browser cache is not updating correctly. It's probably the new one in the list, your browser just isn't up to speed yet.

It may be that they're changing emoticons on us.

"they" are the ones who are responsible for "it" The emoticon switching is just the beginning of what Val referenced.
