That Evil May Be Done Away That Evil May Be Done Away Book of Mormon Videos https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/videos-and-images/book-of-mormon-videos?lang=eng   Mosiah 8:9 The Jaredites wrote t heir record on 24 plates of pure gold. 28:12 The Nephites were desirous beyond measure to read this record. How eager are we to learn of learn of past civilizations. Do we study the scriptures and histories of people? Do we value their experiences and their testimonies? We have an abridgment of the Jaredite record, called the Book of Ether. (Someday we’ll get the rest.) Mosiah 28:18 The Nephites sorrowed over their tragic loss, but they rejoiced in the knowledge that they received. Ether 8:23 ,  26 “it is wisdom in God that these things should be shown unto you … that evil may be done away, and that the time may come that Satan may have no power upon the hearts of the children of men” The Lord Will Guide Me through my Mortal Journey Ether 6:1–12 What has...

  I Speak unto You as If Ye Were Present I Speak unto You as If Ye Were Present Book of Mormon Videos https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/videos-and-images/book-of-mormon-videos?lang=eng   Mormon 8:3, 5 It must have been overwhelmingly sad to be the very last of the Nephite Nation. “I am alone. My father hath been slain in battle, and all my kinsfolk, and I have not friends nor whither to go; and how long the Lord will suffer that I may live I know not.” Mormon 8:22 Because of Moroni’s faith in Jesus Christ, he had hope for the good things yet to come. “or the eternal purposes of the Lord shall roll on, until all his promises shall be fulfilled.” So much of that promised hope is contained in the Nephi record, called The Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ.
