Ether 10
It was back and forth, one king after another. Some ruled in righeousness; others were wicked. When the king was righteous, the nation was prosperous and industrial. When they were not as faithful, wars and robbers arose. Why? I believe, in part, because they were not faithful, so they had not the strength to combat evil. The world in which we live today is so diverse. Progress is hard to detect from failure because of the covers that are put.
If our Heavenly Father already knows what we are going to do, why are we here?
Elder Holland once said that we are a funny people. Our existence is like a football game that's already been won. The score's already over, we know which team has won, and we're still deciding which jersey we're going to put on!
We're here to be proven. Abraham 3:25-26. We are going through a testing period. He knows this already.
It's a matter of agency. And there is a judgment. Without actions, we cannot be judged. Alma 12:24
