“All the Holy Prophets”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

The reality of God and Christ as his Son are the two greatest revelations of all eternity. John the Revelator said that “the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy” (Revelation 19:10). That is to say, no one can have that spirit without that knowledge. Adam testified of Christ; Enoch, Noah, and Abraham did likewise, as did all their faithful followers. Never has there been a prophet of God in any age who was not a special witness of Christ. Never has there been a prophet who did not know that the Messiah would be the literal son of God. All the prophets who have prophesied since the world began have testified of these things (see Jacob 7:11; Mosiah 13:33).
