This episode is part 14 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon.

This episode covers the first three chapters of the book of Mosiah. We have now shifted to the land of Zarahemla to see how they relate to the land of Nephi, and are 300-400 years removed from Jacob, the son of Lehi.

King Benjamin who succeeded his father Mosiah to the throne of Zarahemla is now old. He will speak to the people to pass the throne to his son also named Mosiah. Of course, he will give a long sermon to the people that sounds like something from a revivalist in the 1800's; except that hindsight prophecies about Jesus will be in there.

This episode is part 13 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon.

This episode covers three small books that follow the Book of Jacob: Enos, Jarom, and Omni.

There is a lot about the brass plates being passed down from generation to generation and how the Nephites fare against the Lamanites.

Some questions arise with the date ranges and the age of Jacob when he died. We look at a few anachronisms in the Book of Mormon from these short books and, of course, quotes from the New Testament before their time. We eventually learn about a civilization in ancient America that started from one surviving son of King Zedekiah.

I hope you had a blessed Resurrection Day! In honor of our Lord's resurrection, let's do a deep dive into some Old Testament Scriptures that I believe prophesied about the resurrection of Jesus.

On the road to Emmaus, Jesus criticized people for not believing that the Scriptures prophesied about His own sufferings and glory that would follow. Jesus used the Scriptures to explain this to them. Could these have been some of the passages Jesus used?
