“The Blood of Saints Shall Cry Unto the Lord”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
Too many noble and great ones have lived and preached and taught; too many have sacrificed their comforts, their homes, their families, and their own lives; too many have laid their all on the altar-too many have given their lives to the kingdom of God for the wicked and unbelieving to defile the earth. Who with impunity can defile that which the almighty God has made? God will not be mocked, nor will his plan for the salvation of men and the celestialization of the earth be foiled by those with carnal cares and diabolical desires. Truth will prevail. Righteousness will reign. The cry of the blood of the Saints and prophets from all ages ascends to the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth for justice to be rendered, for wrongs to be righted, and for evil to be abolished. (Commentary 1:333-34.)
