When the serpents came and poisoned the people, Moses raised a staff with a brass serpent to look upon of the people would be healed. The staff was an emblem of the Master Healer who will heal our hearts, minds and bodies. Jesus Christ is the god of healing and forgiveness.
Scumbaggery like you know something? By founders you must mean Brigham Young and his ilk. They killed the original leader while assassinating his character. Joseph Smith has done more for the salvation of mankind than any besides Jesus Christ himself. He laid the foundation for a great work which has yet to play out. Unfortunately, the church has been taken over by wicked men for now. When the California coast falls into the sea for judgment, Salt Lake City won't be far behind
The satanists are, in the Bible, the Chaldeans who seek world domination. They are also the "left hand" of the Lord who are empowered to punish the wicked at the time of judgment. They do so as corporate heads, military leaders and false prophets who form an alliance in the last days
The book of Isaiah also prophecies something like this, though it's in coded terms. In it Egypt represents the global superpower and is attacked by an Assyrian alliance (Russia/China) after they suffer civil war. A remnant survives and establish a new form of government
... who are in turn inspired by the spirit of evil: Satan.
