“Those Who Are at Jerusalem”

Brant Gardner

Our historical perspective allows us to see the fulfilment of this prophecy, and for us it is a common and mildly interesting topic. For Nephi, however, it must have been extremely painful. Nephi, while a man of the New World, was still a man of Jerusalem, and to understand the relationship of his future Jerusalem to the death of the Savior he loved must have been terribly painful.
