“Behold It Is Done”

Brant Gardner

This statement has reference to the destructions that will come when Christ arrives. Mormon knows that these conditions existed when Christ came, and so he references them. They serve a dual purpose in this lament. They stand as a demonstration of God’s power over nature, but also as a representation of the ultimate gift of God, that of the arrival of his Son.
