Hidden like a parable in
Book of Mormon history are significant parallels for individuals as well
as nations.  On
the temporal (national) level, the Book of Mormon
reflects important elements of the history/prophecy of the house of
Israel from beginning to end. On a spiritual
(individual) level, Book of Mormon history personifies the principles of
individual progression from beginning to end.
The temporal parallels focus on the formation of a
Zion society, which will become a glorious reality during the
Millennium. Spiritual applications direct us toward
being sealed individually unto eternal life in the church of the
Firstborn. Hence, Book of Mormon history not only points nations and
individuals to Christ in the ultimate sense but charts the course that
leads to that transcendent goal. |
