Martin Harris
Martin Harris reminds us that men who live generally righteous lives can falter. Martin did so publicly a few times as he list the 116 pages of manuscript and later let the church. The key is that he also did great things like supporting Joseph during the translation, mortgaging his farm to pay for publication,…

Joseph Smith Sr.
I had never before realized that Section 4 of the Doctrine and Covenants was a revelation given to Joseph Smith Sr. When I consider that this was given to the man who raised the property of the restoration and who served as the first patriarch of the church some of the counsel takes on a…

Ether
The words of Ether sound very much like what I would have expected to hear from Enoch. I can feel from the record his powerful the message of Ether was although not powerful in a way to be irresistible. Those who has ears to hear would be encouraged to righteousness and would clearly recognize his…

Coriantumr
Why did Coriantumr allow Ether to be free after his fathers, the rightful heirs to the throne, had been in captivity for more than two generations? It would be assumed that Ether would seek to overthrow Coriantumr or at the very last that Coriantumr world would fear that Ether would do so. My feeling is…

Shez
Shez is probably an easy character to forget. His name sins like Shiz who was anything but righteous and his own soon named Shez built up a secret combination to overthrow him although the soon was killed for his wealth before the plan could be carried out. Shez also reigned between Heth, who killed his…

Nameless Prophets
It happens a few times in the record of Ether that prophets come to warm the people of destruction if they don’t repent. I imagine these man are like Abinadi, Samuel the Lamanite, or ether himself. The real difference is that we don’t have their names. I can only imagine how hard their job must…

Coriantum and Com
Coriantum was a righteous king who followed the pattern of his righteous father. His reign must have been a happy time to live among the Jaredites. For all I know Com was following in the footsteps of Coriantum by his reign was cut short by the rebellion and usurpation of his son.

Omer and Emer
We aren’t specifically told that Omer was righteous but he was enough in tune with the Spirit that he was warned in a dream when his life was in danger from a secret combination. He eventually regained his kingdom when the rival kingdom ruled by the last of that combination died out due to internal…
