Words of Helaman to his sons:
Named them Nephi and Lehi to remind them of the goodness of their fathers.
No other way to be saved expect the blood of Christ.
Redeemed FROM sin, not IN sin.
Build your foundation on the Rock of Christ.
Teach the people and do good. Not to boast, but to gain eternal salvation. |

Be humble, or the Lord will humble you.
When the Lord protects them, his people harden their hearts. Unless he chastens them, they will not remember him.
Men quickly turn to sin, pride, and evil. They are slow to remember God.
When they don't listen to him, men are less than the dust of the earth.
Man cannot be saved without repentance. Those who do good shall have eternal life, those who do evil shall have eternal damnation. |

Samuel the Lamanite prophesies the destruction of the Nephites except they repent.
He has to stand on the wall.
He was going to declare glad tidings, but was rejected. Now he is going to declare repentance. The Lord withdrew his spirit from them.
Except they repent, they will be destroyed in 400 years.
It is because of the righteous that Zarahemla is saved. Soon they will be cast out, and the city will be doomed.
Those who hide treasures up not to God, they will lose their treasures. They are not thankful for their riches, only boastful.
They say they would have been the better than others in days gone by. But they are worse than those before them.
When you are humbled by the Lord, it is too late to turn to him. Don't search for happiness in iniquity. |

Samuel prophesies the signs of Christ's birth and death.
Birth: great lights in heaven; two days without darkness at night; a new star will arise; signs and wonders in heaven.
Death: death brings the resurrection from separation from God; brings to pass the conditions of repentance; no light for the space of three days; great tempests and storms; earth shall be broken up; graves shall be opened and yield up their dead.
Many shall see greater signs than these --> no cause for unbelief. God has given knowledge, now men are accountable.
Why he is preaching: to warn them of their destruction; to teach them of the coming of Christ that they might believe. |
