Today's Favorite Verse: Helaman 8:19-20
"And now I would that ye should know, that even since the days of Abraham there have been many prophets that have testified these things; yea, behold, the prophet Zenos did testify boldly; for the which he was slain.
And behold, also Zenock, and also Ezias, and also Isaiah, and Jeremiah, (Jeremiah being that same prophet who testified of the destruction of Jerusalem) and now we know that Jerusalem was destroyed according to the words of Jeremiah. O then why not the Son of God come, according to his prophecy?"

Nephi is speaking to the people about the prophesies of Christ's coming. How prophets have testified of this and many things. If prophets could testify of the destruction of Jerusalem, and they have evidence in front of them through the people of Mulek, why cannot all prophesies be fulfilled? Then as evidence of prophecy Nephi tells them that their judge has been murdered by his brother upon the judgment-seat. Further, that they belong to their secret band of Gadianton. These are things that Nephi would have no way of knowing, unless he was a prophet and it was revealed to him.

This made me think of how we are at the same place in time, waiting for the prophesy to be fulfilled of Jesus Christ's second coming. As we are waiting the hearts of people are rejecting these things like they did in the time of Nephi.
