"Behold, the sword of vengeance hangeth over you; and the time soon cometh that he avengeth the blood of the saints upon you, for he will not suffer their cries any longer."
The Book of Mormon, Mormon 8:41

The prophet/warrior Moroni most certainly saw our day, the day when The Book of Mormon will "come forth".

27 And ItShallComeInaDay when the blood of saints shall cry unto the Lord, because of SecretCombinations and the works of darkness.

There are many situations described in the record that speak of these "secret combinations". They often sought to kill for money. They progressed to challenging political leaders and kill them as well. Before they were destroyed at one point, purveyors of secret combinations actually governed over large parts of the land and large numbers of people.

40 Yea, why do ye build up your secret abominations to get gain, and cause that widows should mourn before the Lord, and also orphans to mourn before the Lord, and also the blood of their fathers and their husbands to cry unto the Lord from the ground, for vengeance upon your heads?

So many suffered at the hands of these people who conspired among themselves to get power and gain.

37 For behold, ye do love money, and your substance, and your fine apparel, and the adorning of your churches, more than ye love the poor and the needy, the sick and the afflicted.

It looks to be better to be helping those who lack rather than enjoying your "things".
