“In the Ending of the Thirty and Fourth Year”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
The signs of Christ’s death came on the fourth day of the first month in the thirty-fourth year (see 3 Nephi 8:5). Mormon here tens us that Christ appeared to the Nephites “in the ending” of the thirty-fourth year, thus suggesting that it was several months following his Old World ascension into heaven before he came to the Nephites (see Mortal Messiah 4:307).
