Based on actual events as
recorded in the Book of Mormon: Another Testament
of Jesus Christ. [MUSIC PLAYING]
As you know, when
Noah became king, he did not walk in the
ways of his father. He did not keep the
commandments of God, but he did walk after the
desires of his own heart. And he had many
wives and concubines. And he did cause his people
to commit sin, and do that which was abominable
in the sight of the Lord. And they did commit whoredoms
and all manner of wickedness. And he made a tax of one fifth
part of all they possessed to support himself, and his
wives and his concubines; and his priests, and their
wives and concubines. [MUSIC PLAYING]
For he had changed the
affairs of the kingdom, and put down all
the priests that had been consecrated
by his father, and consecrated new
ones in their stead, such as were lifted up in
the pride of their hearts. Yea, and thus they were
supported in their laziness, in their idolatry, and
in their immorality. Never in our history have
we had a king such as Noah. [CHEERING]
