3. _Passages from the Prophets Quoted by Moroni to Joseph Smith:_
"After telling me these things, (concerning the Book of Mormon) he
commenced quoting the prophecies of the Old Testament. He first quoted
part of the third chapter of Malachi, and he quoted also the fourth or
last chapter of the same prophecy, though with a little variation from
the way it reads in our Bibles. Instead of quoting the first verse as
it reads in our books, he quoted it thus:
"For behold, the day cometh that shall burn as an oven, and all the
proud, yea, and all that do wickedly shall burn as stubble; for they
that come shall burn them, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave
them neither root nor branch.
"And again, he quoted the fifth verse thus:
"'Behold, I will reveal unto you the Priesthood, by the hand of Elijah
the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the
Lord.'
"He also quoted the next verse differently:
"'And he shall plant in the hearts of the children the promises made
to the fathers, and the hearts of the children shall turn to their
fathers; if it were not so, the whole earth would be utterly wasted at
his coming.'
"In addition to these, he quoted the eleventh chapter of Isaiah, saying
that it was about to be fulfilled. He quoted also the third chapter of
Acts, twenty-second and twenty-third verses, precisely as they stand
in our New Testament. He said that that Prophet was Christ, but the
day had not yet come when "they who would not hear his voice should be
cut off from among the people," but soon would come. He also quoted
the second chapter of Joel, from the twenty-eighth verse to the last.
He also said that this was not yet fulfilled, but was soon to be.
And he further stated that the fullness of the Gentiles was soon to
come in. He quoted many other passages of Scripture, and offered many
explanations which cannot be mentioned here." (History of the Church,
Vol. 1, pp. 12, 13.)
