"And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;
And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord; and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears.
But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth; and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked."
2 Nephi 21:2-4
This is a prophecy of Christ also found in Isaiah, and I love the ideas here, about not judging by the obvious, and judging with righteousness and equity. I get the idea that if he judges the poor and meek, they will have more than they did previously rather than less. :)
This same judgement will also smite the earth and slay the wicked... but again, because we've read the other part, I feel like the earth and likely even the wicked will come out better in the end than they started.
Today, let's look forward to the time when Christ will make everything right. :)
