Do the wicked really honor past prophets?

Thomas R. Valletta

“What pure, unadulterated hypocrisy it is for those who reject the living prophets to say: ‘If we had lived in former days, we would have accepted the prophets whom others rejected.’ Prophets are prophets, truth is truth, and rebellion is rebellion. The spirit which leads men to fight God in one age is the same that operates in every age. Those who reject the Lord’s anointed today would have done so anciently. Compare Luke 16:27–31” (McConkie, Doctrinal New Testament Commentary, 1:622).
