As I was reading Ether chapter 1 this morning, the thought crossed my mind that Jared and his brother knew before the language was scrambled that The Lord was going to do this particular thing. Where would I get that notion?
In Amos 3:7 it says: Surely The Lord god will do nothing save he shall revealeth his secrets to the prophet.
Wouldn't it make sense that the prayer that their language and the language of their good friends would not be scrambled would have come before the actual event? Otherwise, how could Jared have talked with his brother?
A few years back President Hinckley warned the brethren to get out of debt. He did not call out any calamity, but those who followed that prophetic counsel have been blessed as the economy has tanked in the last few years.
My marching orders are to follow the prophet. Anything less is asking for trouble. It would also make sense that I seek out his counsel. It counts whether I've heard it or not.
