In Ethem’s reign, many prophets rose to prompt the people to forsake their transgressions, warning of total annihilation should they persist in sin. Their tenacity in delivering messages of repentance reflects the persistent divine outreach amid pervasive moral failure (Ether 11:12). Their presence underscores the relentless divine commitment to human redemption.
The prophetic activities during Ethem's rule emphasized the gravity of divine expectations concerning human righteousness. Despite societal obstinance, these prophets remained steadfast in advocating moral reformation and aligning community actions with celestial mandates.
