Noah reacted insolently to the prophet: “Who is Abinadi, that I and my people should be judged of him, or who is the Lord, that shall bring upon my people such great affliction?” Such words are echoes of Cain (“Who is the Lord that I should know him?”; Moses 5:16), Pharaoh (“Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice?”; Exodus 5:2), and the people of Ammonihah (“Who is God, that sendeth no more authority than one man among this people?”; Alma 9:6). Such defiant attitudes come from blinded minds and hardened hearts.
