Prophecy in the Book of Mormon

    1 Nephi

  1. This verse prophesies that Native Americans will come to believe that they are decended from Israelites, and that they will convert to Mormonism. But there have been very few Native American LDS converts, and even fewer Native Americans who believe their ancestors migrated from Israel to the New World. 15:14

  2. The day is soon coming when God's wrath will be poured out and all proud, wicked people will be burned. 22:16-17

  3. "These things must shortly come; yea, even blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 22:18

  4. Soon all the churches of the devil (non-Mormon churches) will be destroyed. 22:23

    2 Nephi

  5. Lehi prophesies that no one will come to the New World unless that are lead there by God. 1:6

  6. Joseph Smith makes some modest prophecies about himself. He will be a choice seer, esteemed highly, and shall do "a work of great worth." He will be great in God's eyes, like Moses, and will do God's work. He will bring forth God's word, confound false doctrines, establish peace, and bring knowledge in the latter days. All those who seek to destroy him will be confounded. He will be like God and will bring God's people to salvation. He will have exceeding faith, work mighty wonders, and do what is great in the sight of God. 3:6-24

    "A choice seer will I raise out of the fruit of thy loins."
    The "choice seer" is, of course, Joseph Smith. He is prophesied to be a direct descendant of Joseph (the fruit of his loins). But Joseph Smith couldn't have sprung from any Nephite's loins, since (according to Mormon 6) they all died leaving no descendants. 3:7

  7. All Americans will someday worship God. (And become Mormons?) 10:19

  8. Here is a clear prophecy of the future Mormon church: "And in that day, seven women shall take hold of one man, saying: let us be called by thy name to take away our reproach." 14:1

  9. These verses falsely predict that Babylon will never again be inhabited. 23:19-20

  10. Dragons will live in Babylonian palaces and satyrs will dance there. 23:21-22

  11. "The Lord God shall bring forth unto you the words of a book."
    The Book of Mormon prophesies itself! 27:6

  12. The Book of Mormon will be sealed until God delivers it to a man.
    (Gosh, could that man be Joseph Smith?) 27:7-9

  13. Another marvelous BoM prophecy: many shall say, "A Bible! We have got a Bible." And they certainly have.
    This is especially amazing since this prophecy was allegedly made around 550 BCE, long before either the canon or the name of the "Bible" existed. 29:3

  14. Fools will say, "A Bible! We have got a Bible, and we need no more (damned) Bible." 29:6

  15. Before many generations pass, Native Americans will convert to Mormonism, their skins will turn white, and they will become a "delightsome" people. 30:6

  16. The Jews will also be converted and become a "delightsome" people. 30:7

  17. God will "smite the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his mouth he shall slay the wicked." How's that for some bad breath? 30:9

  18. God must burn wicked people to death. (I guess he has no choice in the matter.) 30:10

    Mosiah

  19. The Lord says that this (which?) generation will be slain and their bodies will be eaten by vultures, dogs, and wild beasts. 12:2

  20. God will smite his people with sore afflictions, famine, pestilence, and will cause them to howl all the day long. 12:4

    Alma

  21. Alma prophesies that the Nephites will "dwindle in unbelief" 400 years after Jesus is born. And if you believe Hel.13:9 and Mormon 8:6 that is exactly what happened! Now that's a precise prophecy! 45:10

    Helaman

  22. God prophesies that he will kill the Nephites with war, starvation, and disease within the next 400 years or so. (And I guess if you believe the Book of Mormon, he did with a little help from the Lamanites). 13:9

  23. Another amazing prophecy: In five years the Son of God will come. And this was (according to my motel room version of the BoM) in the year 6 BCE! 14:2

  24. Wow! The night before Jesus was born there were great lights in the sky that made the night as bright as day! 14:3

  25. "And behold this is not all, there shall be many signs and wonders in heaven." 14:6

  26. When Jesus dies (Remember this prophecy was made before Jesus had even been born!) it will be absolutely dark for three days and nights. No sun, moon, stars, candles, or campfires. 14:20, 27

  27. When Jesus dies mountains will become valleys and vice versa, cities destroyed, and dead people will come back to life. 14:23-25

  28. "In the latter times" the Lamanites (Native Americans) will convert to Mormonism. 15:12-13

    3 Nephi

  29. God makes a repetitive and rambling speech announcing his own birth. He says that he'll be born tommorow. And that later that evening "a sign would be given." 1:12-13

  30. And God's prophecy came true! That night "there was no darkness when night came ... but it was as light as thought it was mid-day." 1:15, 19

  31. Jesus says there are other scriptures that "ye should write". Could this be a prophecy of the Book of Mormon? 23:6

  32. The elements will melt, the earth will be rolled up like a scroll, and heaven and earth will pass away. 26:3
