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.

- The last two kings in Ether’s time were Shiz and Coriantumr.
