In the Book of Mormon we read about King Noah. King Noah was a very wicked man. He did not keep the commandments of god, he was self conceited,he lied, he was lazy, idolatrous, and he did not care about any one but himself. He also had a lot of wealth, and went after riches.He taught his people to do the same and not to follow god.
Because he was so wicked, god sent a prophet(Abinadi) to tell King Noah and his people that they needed to repent or his people will be put in bondage. But King Noah did not listen and he said that he was a crazy man and to kill him. So Abinadi was put to death by fire. This story reminds me a lot of our world today. We have those people that are following the ways of the world and not the ways of god. So god called a prophet just like Abinadi to call us to repentance and to follow Heavenly Father today. It is so important that we have a prophet today. Cause the world is getting more and more crazier each day. We need that prophet to lead and guide us, to warn us and to receive that direct communication with our loving heavenly father.
