The returning of the lost

I know that God wants us to know him and his ways. We learn of this though scriptures and modern day prophets. He revels his will and commandments to prophets. See God call prophet to teach the people and to record what they taught, this is know has the scriptures. But what would happen if the people rejected the prophets and what they taught. The people enter into a state of rebellion called apostasy. they killed the prophets, and with the they some of teach if learned were lost. but God in his wisdom and love took away prophet for a season, but over time gave a new prophet the restored what lost over the years. i know the  that this happen  after the death of the original apostles. Over the years in Gods love he called a new prophet named Joseph smith. He restored all he doctrines and teaching of God. This is the greats messages since the birth and resurrection of Christ.
