Topic: Record of the Nephites

Ads by Google      Book of Mormon Geography Although the Book of Mormon is primarily a religious record of the Nephites, Lamanites, and Jaredites, enough geographic details are embedded in the narrative to allow reconstruction of at least a rudimentary geography of Book of Mormon lands. Distances in the Book of Mormon are recorded in terms of the time required to travel from place to place. The Book of Mormon is essentially a Nephite record, and most geographic elements mentioned are in Nephite territory. http://www.lightplanet.com/mormons/basic/bom/geography_eom.htm   (1904 words)      A Third Jaredite Record: The Sealed Portion of the Gold Plates - FARMS JBMS The Nephites in Zarahemla were aware, however, that their king had the interpreters, because he had used them to translate the large stone containing a history of the Jaredites (see Omni 1:20; Mosiah 8:13-14). If he were chosen to hand over the sealed record and interpreters to the Nephites, he was likely aware of this calling when he wrote his last words, and he also would have known that he lived contemporaneously with the Nephites (see Ether 11:21), even though he must have been in his old age. After the Lord ministered unto him and gave him the commandments concerning this record, the brother of Jared was shown another vision, or the rest of the same vision. http://farms.byu.edu/display.php?table=jbms&id=281   (6281 words)      Moroni's Journeys considering two Cumorahs verses only one He had not previously been given the added assignment of abridging the record of the Jaredites and the 'vision of all' of Mahonri Moriancumr, which was included in the 'sealed' portion of the golden plates recieved by Joseph Smith which where in adition to the abridged history of the Nephites. And Moroni would have had to travel through this land to have witnessed the end of the Nephite Nation, as that is where the remaining Nephites fled, into the 'south country.'(Mormon 8:2) And after so witnessing this, he considered the end to be at hand and that he needed to hide up the record.
