Before the final days of destruction came upon the Jaredites, the Lord commanded Ether “that he should go and prophesy unto Coriantumr that, if he would repent, and all his household, the Lord would give unto him his kingdom and spare the people—Otherwise they should be destroyed, and all his household save it were himself.” (Ether 13:20-21.) Unfortunately, the subsequent record indicates that Coriantumr and his people did not repent, and the prophesied destruction came upon them.
