The Sign Of Christ's Birth Was Given
One of my daily scripture series. Today, I have reached ch. 1 of Third Nephi in "The Book of Mormon; Another Testament of Jesus Christ" Please compare to the original, available FREE, at www.mormon.org
Nephi, the son of Helaman, depated out of the land of Zarahemla,
leaving his son, Nephi, to preserve the records and Moses' law.
Signs and worners abounded in the heavens and on the land,
but, by the wicked, the slaying of all the righteous, was planned.
A day was set to do thevdeed unless Samuel's prophecy was fulfilled.
Nephi prayed mightly that none of the believers might be killed.
The night before the set day, the son went down in the west,
but darkness never fell, and all with great light were blessed!
A new star was discovered as it shone brightly above.
It truly was the sign of God's eternal gift of love!
In spite of the signs, lying and deceiving increased aplenty,
and the Gadianton Robbers increased, and they slew many!
