“What Were These Wise Purposes”

Bryan Richards

The Lord in his infinite wisdom, knew the events that would transpire in the last days. In anticipation of the lost 116 pages, the Lord commanded Nephi to write a record which covered the same time period as the lost history. DC 3:19 reads, And for this very purpose are these plates preserved, which contain these records—that the promises of the Lord might be fulfilled, which he made to his people.
