. . . Jesus could have restored the order of the Pristhood in his day
& brought in the Millenium if the people would have harkened to his
instructions but they rebelled & would not, & it was for this cause
that Jesus told them that all the blood that had been shed from righteous Abel
down to Zechariah the Prophet should be required at there hands. (Wilford
Woodruff, Journal, February
16, 1847)
