The story seems to suggest that the main barrier to such blessings is our inability to feel the danger we are in if we do not receive spiritual counsel—if we forget to call on the Lord.

Many modern readers are puzzled by this apparently ungrateful behavior. Wherefore he that doth possess it shall serve God or shall be swept off; for it is the everlasting decree of God.

Moses was reproved for not explicitly following God’s instructions in the wilderness of Zin (Num. “The Book of Mormon and the Doctrine and Covenants.” Ensign (May 1987) 17:84–85; also in Conference Report (April 1987) 3–7. 12:32, 38) when he told the brother of Jared that he and his followers should “go to and gather together thy flocks, both male and female, of every kind; and also of the seed of the earth of every kind” (Ether 1:41).

McConkie stated: “Following the millennium plus ‘a little season’ (D&C 29:22–25), the earth will die, be resurrected, and becoming like a ‘sea of glass’ (D&C 130:7), attain unto ‘its sanctified, immortal, and eternal state’ (D&C 77:1–2). even unto the ends of the earth” (v. 25).
