“That Ye Might Know the Conditions of Repentance”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

Samuel here sets forth at least four dimensions to his prophetic call, four reasons why he has been sent to prophesy to the Nephites: (1) that the wicked Nephites might know of the judgments of God which should surely come upon the unrepentant; (2) that the Nephites might know the “conditions of repentance”; (3) that Samuel might testify of the divine sonship of Jesus Christ; and (4) that the Nephites might know of the signs of the Lord’s coming to the earth.
