Unfit Leaders Then, & Now. Zechariah 11:4-6a; “Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter; 5 Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not. 6 For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD: but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbour’s hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.”
Matthew 23:1-4; “Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, 2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat: 3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. 4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.”

At His coming, Israel to have unfit leaders … Unfortunately, the LDS Church has placed its members in the same category Israel will find itself in one day. Corrupt leaders, false teachers, worthless works to look good on the outside…. And what do we see on the inside? Brokenhearted people desperately searching for Him, but for whatever reasons they hold tight to the traditions of their fathers. Mormons, JW’s, et al, are all in the same whited sepulcher refusing to question leaders or even worse; refusing to seek out God.

History of the Church 6:304; “But meddle not with any man for his religion: all governments ought to permit every man to enjoy his religion unmolested. No man is authorized to take away life in consequence of difference of religion, which all laws and governments ought to tolerate and protect, right or wrong. Every man has a natural, and, in our country, a constitutional right to be a false prophet, as well as a true prophet.”
