We have now arrived at the crowning event of The Book of Mormon; the visitation of Jesus Christ to the peoples on the American continent. There's little I can say for the beginning of this marvelous event, but a few bits to note just prior to the Savior's descent includes:- Repentance
- Promises fulfilled
- People gathering at the temple
- They heard the voice of their Heavenly Father
“He speaks and says simply, with a voice that penetrates the very marrow of your bones, ‘I am Jesus Christ, whom the prophets testified shall come into the world.’ (3 Nephi 11:10.)
There it is—or, more correctly speaking, there he is. The focal point and principal figure behind every fireside and devotional and family home evening held by those Nephites for the last six hundred years, and by their Israelite forefathers for thousands of years before that.
Everyone has talked of him and sung of him and dreamed of him and prayed—but here he actually is. This is the day and yours is the generation. What a moment! But you find you are less inclined to check the film in your camera than you are to check the faith in your heart.” (Elder
Jeffrey R. Holland, On Earth As It Is In Heaven, p. 125)
