However, what seemed to be an occasional power for others seems to have been a continual and daily event for Ether.

God could give Ether great power, because Ether didn’t waiver in his faith nor in his efforts. Ether knew that great destruction would come upon the people, and there was only one thing that could save them temporally and spiritually.
