Nephi is fascinated with the Book of Mormon which shall come forth in the latter days and will contain the gospel of Jesus Christ as practiced by the ancient Nephites. He is animated by the Spirit of the Lord which has testified that everything he and Isaiah have recorded concerning the coming forth of this book will literally come to pass. Therefore this divine record will be of great worth to Nephi's descendants. It will not only teach them the gospel of Jesus Christ but unfold before their eyes their amazing, turbulent history.
