Let not that which I have appointed be polluted by mine enemies, by the consent of those who call themselves after my name; For this is a very sore and grievous sin against me, and against my people, in consequence of those things which I have decreed and which are soon to befall the nations. (D. & C. 101:97-98)

The influence and example of such men as Joseph Smith, Brigham Young and John Taylor left a deep imprint upon Church members, but only a few would prove as faithful. The Lord was now about to test them by various means of persecution, including imprisonment by the Gentiles.

Mortality was meant to be a test–a trial of men’s faith. Under conflict and stress the qualities or weaknesses of men are brought to light; and the crusades became the crucible to the verification or the failure of the Mormons. When a man defends his faith, right or wrong, he displays a courage that everyone is constrained to admire. Joseph once remarked:

God, men, and angels will not condemn those that resist everything that is evil, and devils cannot; as well might the devil seek to dethrone Jehovah, as overthrow an innocent soul that resists everything which is evil. (TPJS, p. 226)

One of the faithful men during these political crusades against the Church was a Mormon bishop named Francis A. Brown:

“…before I will prove recreant to my wives and children, and betray my trust, I will suffer my head to be severed from my body.”

Zions Redemption Radio airs Monday through Friday starting at 11pm Utah Time.
