Mormon fasst die Aufzeichnungen der Nephiten zusammen

Anmerkungen von Mormon über die Erfüllung der Prophezeiungen

3 Nephi 10:14

Als Mormon von dem schrecklichen Sturm schreibt, der der Ankunft Christi vorausging , drängt er den Leser dazu, die Schriften zu studieren und sich der Prophezeiungen bewusst zu sein, denn auch diese werden sich erfüllen.

And now, whoso readeth, let him understand; he that hath the scriptures, let him search them, and see and behold if all these deaths and destructions by fire, and by smoke, and by tempests, and by whirlwinds, and by the opening of the earth to receive them, and all these things are not unto the fulfilling of the prophecies of many of the holy prophets.

3 Nephi 10:15

Die Prophezeiungen und Zeugnisse in der Heiligen Schrift kosten das Leben vieler Menschen.

Behold, I say unto you, Yea, many have testified of these things at the coming of Christ, and were slain because they testified of these things.

3 Nephi 10:16

Zenos und Zenoch gehörten zu denjenigen, die prophezeiten und bezeugten.

Yea, the prophet Zenos did testify of these things, and also Zenock spake concerning these things, because they testified particularly concerning us, who are the remnant of their seed.

3 Nephi 10:17

Jakob schreibt über den Samen von Joseph, von dem in den ehernen Platten die Rede ist.

Behold, our father Jacob also testified concerning a remnant of the seed of Joseph. And behold, are not we a remnant of the seed of Joseph? And these things which testify of us, are they not written upon the plates of brass which our father Lehi brought out of J erusalem?

3 Nephi 10:18–19

Mormon bereitet den Leser darauf vor, dass das wunderbare Segen unter den Menschen geschieht, weil sich ihnen Jesus Christus offenbart.

And it came to pass that in the ending of the thirty and fourth year, behold, I will show unto you that the people of Nephi who were spared, and also those who had been called Lamanites, who had been spared, did have great favors shown unto them, and great blessings poured out upon their heads, insomuch that soon after the ascension of Christ into heaven he did truly manifest himself unto them— Showing his body unto them, and ministering unto them; and an account of his ministry shall be given hereafter. Therefore for this time I make an end of my sayings.
