“And There Were Many Who Had Not Believed the Words of the Prophets”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

Those who had doubted the words of Samuel- who in smug self-security had refused to accept the oracles of an anointed servant of God- now came face to face with reality.

Like those at the time of the Second Coming who will have doubted the signs of the times and the warnings of the prophets, the unbelievers of the first century were dislodged and upended, both physically and spiritually.
