“A Small Record”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
A brief or abridged record, what we know as the Book of Mormon (see Mormon 7:9; Mormon 8:12).

“They Heard a Voice as If It Came Out of Heaven”

While marvelling upon the things they had previously seen and heard, the people heard a voice “as if it came out of heaven.” Twice the voice spoke and they could not understand it, but the third time they did.

The significance of the voice is that it declares to them who is about to appear to them- The Beloved Son of God.
