According to Rodney Turner, a clear understanding of Christ was had by the prophets who wrote the small plates. For example, Amaleki--the last writer on those plates--said: "I would that ye should come unto Christ, who is the Holy One of Israel, and partake of his salvation, and the power of his redemption." (Omni 1:26) [Rodney Turner, "The Great Conversion," in Studies in Scripture: Book of Mormon, Part 1, p. 227]
