“Satan Did Get Great Hold Upon the Hearts of the People”

W. Cleon Skousen

At this stage of history, Satan must have rejoiced to see the majority of the Nephites submit themselves to all the snares of wickedness their apostate minds could devise. And thus the course of history slipped past the great nodal date of 1 B.C. The heavens were now prepared for their magnificent display of power that lay just ahead.
