Monday Devotional
Song
The Books in the Book of Mormon (Children’s #119)
Scripture
Discussion
- We are now finishing the book of Ether. Ether was the last prophet of the Jaredites.
- He had many prophecies, and he saw the destruction of the entire civilization because of their wickedness.
- He saw Christ’s time, and he also saw our day, in addition to telling the Jaredite kings what would happen if they didn’t repent.
- The Jaredites were split into two countries, who often went to war with each other. When the kings were righteous, the people prospered, but over time they kept getting more and more wicked.
- This week we will study a lot about Ether’s words because they apply to us.
Activity
Take turns pretending to be Ether telling the kings and the people that they need to choose the right.

Follow the Prophet (Children’s #110)
Scripture
Ether 13:13–22; chapter headings for 14–15
Discussion
- The last two kings in Ether’s time were Shiz and Coriantumr.
- Ether told Coriantumr that if he would repent, they would be spared. But Coriantumr had too much pride and anger. Thousands and thousands of people died in the war between the two.
- Coriantumr killed Shiz, and he was the only person left alive of the Jaredites. He is the same one we read about King Benjamin’s people meeting. That’s how we got the writings of the Jaredites.
