"For what doth it profit a man if a gift is bestowed upon him, and he receive not the gift? Behold, he rejoices not in that which is given unto him, neither rejoices in him who is the giver of the gift." (D&C 88: 33.)
From the moment Joseph Smith died, we have lost our memory of what God revealed through him. By forgetting we refuse the gift given by God.
First we must remember.
Until we remember what we were given, there is no reason for God to give more. Today we are being tested to see if we can be stirred to remember what came to light through Joseph.
It is up to God to decide whether the test is being passed. If we fail, there will be nothing further given this generation. We are on trial.
Will we remember? Will we finally rejoice in the gift and its giver?
Or will we cower in fear and look for every reason we can summon to ignore, oppose, dismiss and reject what we were offered? As Christ put it: "O fools and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken." (Luke 24: 25.) Nothing has changed. Mankind is the same now as ever.
