D&C 123
While the Prophet suffered in Liberty Jail, the Lord told him -
"THE ends of the earth shall inquire after thy name, and fools shall have thee in derision, and hell shall rage against thee..." (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 122:1)
Not only him, but also the saints -
"...who have been made to bow down with grief, sorrow, and care, under the most damning hand of murder, tyranny, and oppression, supported and urged on and upheld by the influence of that spirit which hath so strongly riveted the creeds of the fathers, who have inherited lies, upon the hearts of the children, and filled the world with confusion, and has been growing stronger and stronger, and is now the very mainspring of all corruption, and the whole earth groans under the weight of its iniquity." (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 123:7)
But even so, we are counseled -
"Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God, and for his arm to be revealed." (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 123:17)
Justice will prevail.
