| 1 Nephi 10
|
| | 10:1 And now I, Nephi, proceed to give an account upon these
plates of my proceedings, and my reign and ministry; wherefore, to proceed with mine account,
I must speak somewhat of the things of my father, and also of my brethren. |
| | 10:2 For behold, it came to pass after my
father had made an end of speaking the words of his dream, and also of exhorting them to
all diligence, he spake unto them concerning the Jews -- |
And it came to pass
(10:2, 11, 17)
| | 10:3 That after they should be destroyed, even that great city
Jerusalem, and many be carried away captive into Babylon, according to the own due time of
the Lord, they should return again, yea, even be brought back out of captivity; and after
they should be brought back out of captivity they should possess again the land of their
inheritance. |
| | 10:4 Yea, even six hundred years from the time that my father
left Jerusalem, a prophet would the Lord God raise up among the Jews -- even a Messiah, or,
in other words, a Savior of the world. |
| | 10:5 And he also spake concerning the prophets, how great a number
had testified of these things, concerning this Messiah, of whom he had spoken, or this
Redeemer of the world. |
| | 10:6 Wherefore, all mankind were in a lost and in a fallen state,
and ever would be save they should rely on this Redeemer. |
| | 10:7 And he spake also concerning a prophet who should come before
the Messiah, to prepare the way of the Lord -- |
| | 10:8 Yea, even he should go forth and cry in the wilderness:
Prepare ye the way of the Lord, and make his paths straight; for there
standeth one among you whom ye know not; and he is mightier than I,
whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to
unloose. And much spake my father concerning this thing. |
I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight
the way of the Lord. -- John 1:23
One mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose.
-- Luke 3:16
There standeth one among you, whom ye know not ... whose shoe's
latchet I am not worthy to unloose. -- John 1:26-27
(10:9) in Bethabara beyond Jordan -- John 1:28
(10:10) Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. --
John 1:29
| | 10:9 And my father said he should baptize
in Bethabara, beyond
Jordan; and he also said he should baptize with water; even that he should baptize the
Messiah with water.
| | 10:10 And after he had baptized the Messiah with water, he should
behold and bear record that he had baptized the Lamb of God, who should take away the sins
of the world. |
| | 10:11 And it came to pass after my father
had spoken these words he spake unto my brethren concerning the gospel which should be
preached among the Jews, and also concerning the dwindling of the Jews in unbelief. And
after they had slain the Messiah, who should come, and after he had been slain he should
rise from the dead, and should make himself manifest, by the Holy Ghost, unto the
Gentiles. |
Dwindling in unbelief
| | 10:12 Yea, even my father spake much concerning the Gentiles,
and also concerning the house of Israel, that they should be compared like unto an
olive-tree, whose branches should be broken off and should be scattered upon all the face
of the earth. |
| | 10:13 Wherefore, he said it must needs be that we
should be led with one accord into the land of promise, unto the fulfilling of the word of
the Lord, that we should be scattered upon all the face of the earth. |
| | 10:14 And after the house of Israel should be scattered they
should be gathered together again; or, in fine, after the Gentiles had received the fulness
of the Gospel, the natural branches of the olive-tree, or the remnants of the house of
Israel, should be grafted in, or come to the knowledge of the true Messiah, their Lord and
their Redeemer. |
| | 10:15 And after this manner of language did my father prophesy
and speak unto my brethren, and also many more things which I do not write in this book;
for I have written as many of them as were expedient for me in mine other book. |
| | 10:16 And all these things, of which I have spoken, were done as
my father dwelt in a tent, in the valley of Lemuel. |
| | 10:17 And it came to pass after I,
Nephi, having heard all the words of my father, concerning the things which he saw in a
vision, and also the things which he spake by the power of the Holy Ghost, which power he
received by faith on the Son of God -- and the Son of God was the Messiah who should
come -- I, Nephi, was desirous also that I might see, and hear, and know of these things,
by the power of the Holy Ghost, which is the gift of God unto all those who diligently
seek him, as well in times of old as in the time that he should manifest himself unto the
children of men. |
| | 10:18 For he is the same yesterday, to-day,
and forever; and the
way is prepared for all men from the foundation of the world, if it so be that they repent
and come unto him. |
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and forever.
-- Heb.13:8
...the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
-- Mt.25:34
| | 10:19 For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the
mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost, as well in
these times as in times of old, and as well in times of old as in times to come;
wherefore, the course of the Lord is one eternal round.
| | 10:20 Therefore remember, O man, for all thy doings thou shalt be
brought into judgment. |
| | 10:21 Wherefore, if ye have sought to do wickedly in the days of
your probation, then ye are found unclean before the judgment-seat of God; and no unclean
thing can dwell with God; wherefore, ye must be cast off forever. |
| | 10:22 And the Holy Ghost giveth authority that I should speak
these things, and deny them not. |
