The Book of Mormon: Part 13 (Enos, Jarom, and Omni)

/ Daniel Mynyk/ No Comments

This episode is part 13 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon.

This episode covers three small books that follow the Book of Jacob: Enos, Jarom, and Omni.

There is a lot about the brass plates being passed down from generation to generation and how the Nephites fare against the Lamanites.

Some questions arise with the date ranges and the age of Jacob when he died. We look at a few anachronisms in the Book of Mormon from these short books and, of course, quotes from the New Testament before their time. We eventually learn about a civilization in ancient America that started from one surviving son of King Zedekiah.

Was the Resurrection of Jesus Prophesied?

I hope you had a blessed Resurrection Day! In honor of our Lord’s resurrection, let’s do a deep dive into some Old Testament Scriptures that I believe prophesied about the resurrection of Jesus. On the road to Emmaus, Jesus criticized people for not believing that the Scriptures prophesied about His own sufferings and glory that would follow. Jesus used the Scriptures to explain this to them. Could these have been some of the passages Jesus used?

The Book of Mormon: Part 12 (Jacob chapters 6-7)

This episode is part 12 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon. In Jacob chapter 6, Jacob uses the allegory of the vineyard from the prophet Zenos mentioned in the previous chapter to call the people of Nephi to reflect and repent. Of course, I point out where I see statements that are borrowed from the Bible. In Jacob chapter 7, Jacob encounters a heretic named Sherem who teaches that no “Christ” will come. After Jacob rebukes him, God strikes Sherem with a fatal illness. Sherem renounces what he taught before. We are left unclear if this was a deathbed conversion or just a heretic fearing judgment from God. I discuss a little about the

The Book of Mormon: Part 11 (Jacob chapter 5)

This episode is part 11 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon. In Jacob chapter 5, Jacob relays the “mystery” he just mentioned. It’s something the Nephites as children of Israel should have read or heard. A prophet named Zenos wrote an allegory of Israel as an olive tree. This allegory clearly borrows from several passages of the Bible, but adds far more detail. Did you know that an ancient prophet in Israel wrote a story depicting how the church would have a lot of denominations bearing wild fruit? Did you know his story also described the origin and fate of the Book of Mormon’s Lamanite and Nephite peoples? Amazing prophecy! Or, perhaps, it was

The Book of Mormon: Part 10 (Jacob chapters 3-4)

This episode is part 10 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon. In Jacob chapter 3, Jacob continues his sermon against the people of Nephi for their pride, greed, and polygamy. I discuss a little about the polygamy issue I raised in the last part. Jacob also warns the Nephites that, if they don’t repent, they could end up with darker skin than the Lamanites. Apparently, in the ancient Americas, sin affects skin. And darker skin is a curse from God. Jacob chapter 4 talks about how the brass plates record many clear prophecies about Jesus: the atonement, that He is the “only begotten Son” and that Abraham and Isaac are a picture of God
