Notable figures like Helaman, Nephi, and Samuel the Lamanite play significant roles in its narrative.
Chapter 14 specifically contains prophecies by Samuel the Lamanite about the birth and death of Jesus Christ.
Mosiah 8
A Chapter in the Book of Mormon

Andrew Skinner
Gaye Strathearn
3 Nephi
The Book of Nephi the Son of Nephi, Who Was the Son of Helaman
Nephi, the son of Helaman
3 Nephi is a significant part of the Book of Mormon, detailing the events surrounding the birth and ministry of Jesus Christ among the Nephites.
It includes accounts of signs and wonders, the visitation of Jesus after his resurrection, his teachings to the Nephites, and the fulfillment of various prophecies.
The book also covers the social and spiritual conditions of the Nephites and Lamanites, including their struggles with wickedness, their defense against the Gadianton robbers, and the conversion of many to the Lord.

Mosiah 8:15-18
A Section of the Book of Mormon

Ammon explains that a seer is a revelator and a prophet, and he mentions that King Mosiah can translate ancient records using divine tools.

Samuel's Nephite Sources
Intertextuality in the Book of Mormon
John Hilton III
Jaron Hansen
Sunny Hendry Hafen
This study examines the intertextual connections between Samuel the Lamanite's teachings and those of other Nephite prophets like Nephi, Jacob, King Benjamin, Alma, and Amulek.
It highlights how Samuel used these sources to indict the Nephites and to describe the Lamanites, demonstrating a sophisticated use of scriptural language.
Ezekiel 3:17
Biblical Verse
Ezekiel
In Ezekiel 3:17, God commissions Ezekiel as a watchman to the house of Israel, instructing him to warn the people of impending judgment.
This verse emphasizes the responsibility of prophets and spiritual leaders to convey divine messages and warnings to their communities.
Book of Jacob
Jacob
The Book of Jacob is the third book in the Book of Mormon.
It contains some history of the Nephites, including the death of Nephi, but is mainly a record of Jacob's sermons.
Key sections include Jacob's sermon in the temple, his prophetic knowledge and the allegory of the olive tree, and the story of the anti-Christ Sherem.
The book emphasizes Jacob's goal to convince the people to 'come unto Christ'.
Sister Sheri Dew continues to explore how prophets see around corners, issue warnings, and testify of the Gathering of Israel, and the power of staying on the Covenant Path of Jesus Christ.
