“I Will Utterly Destroy Them”

Brant Gardner

While the general prediction of destruction is a typical prophecy of doom, this particular prophecy is unique in that it includes the idea that a record will be made of their doom. Abinidi is specifically telling people that not only are they headed into their own doom, but that they will be used as a moral object lesson for future peoples. It is no wonder that they were unhappy with him!
