East Wind

There must be an east wind of destruction. As for wind, there are several different kinds of references used. The use of "wind" is very distinct and purposeful. The descriptions range from mild wind to winds of destruction ("whirlwinds" and "east wind"). A key description for locating the lands of the Book of Mormon is that is has to be someplace where a wind from the east is strong enough to cause immediate destruction and occurs often enough to be useful as an analogy. In Mosiah 5:50 [7:31], "...they shall reap the east wind, which bringeth immediate destruction."
