Book of Mormon stories, English
All the things which Nephi saw in this great vision came to pass just
as he saw them many hundreds of years before. The Savior was born six
hundred years after Nephi saw Him in this vision. His mother lived in
the city of Nazareth where Nephi saw her. The Savior was baptized and
went about teaching the people, healing the sick, the blind and the
lame, and raising the dead. He was crucified, too, just as Nephi saw He
would be; and the church which He started was destroyed on the earth,
the saints being put to death by wicked men.
From this story we may learn that the Lord knows all about what will
happen in this world. He knew before the world was made what would take
place in the thousands of years to come. The Lord knows all things. He
knows what each one of us may do or say. He even knows what we think,
when we do not act or speak. When we say or do anything that is not
right He knows about it, and is displeased. When we do good He sees it,
and is pleased with us. If we try always to do right He will love us
and will help us to do good.
We learn also from this story that the Lord tells good men about many
things that are going to take place before they do happen. This is
because He loves them.
By knowing what is going to happen beforehand these good men can often
save themselves from danger or trouble.
In this way Lehi and his family were saved from death by leaving
Jerusalem before it was destroyed. Lehi tried also to save the people
of Jerusalem by telling them what was going to happen, but they would
not believe him. They were so wicked they tried to kill him, and he had
to leave to save his own life.
Points to be remembered in this story: Lehi sees many things in
visions--He tells about them to his family--Nephi so pleased with
hearing what his father tells he desires to see the things himself--An
angel shows him a beautiful vision in which he sees the Savior and His
mother--He also sees the Savior teaching the people and healing the
sick--Sees Him nailed to a cross--Sees what happens afterwards--His
church destroyed--The Lord knows all things--He tells His prophets many
things that are going to take place.
LEHI AND HIS SONS.
THEY CONTINUE THEIR JOURNEY.
When Lehi moved into the wilderness he went as the Lord guided him. He
was told that he would be led to a choice land, and he trusted in the
Lord to be guided in the right direction.
Lehi and his company had been camping by the shore of the Red Sea for
some time, when one night the Lord told Lehi to start again on his
journey the next morning. He did not know which way to go, but he knew
the Lord would show him, as He had done before.
