0:00.0 | So here we are, 3rd Nephi chapter 8. If you look at your scripture page, we've been |
0:05.6 | 422 pages into this book Mormon, where prophets have been giving signs regarding the coming |
0:16.1 | of the Messiah. And now, over in the old world, he's being crucified, he's being killed. |
0:22.6 | He's performing that infinite atonement. And we get to see the effects in the new world |
0:29.6 | of what the natural disasters are that come as a result of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ |
0:36.6 | in the old world. Look at chapter 8, verse 1. Mormon gives |
0:41.5 | us some pretty powerful description of prophets, validating and verifying profit. Look at verse 1, |
0:48.7 | and now it came to pass that according to our record, and we know our record to be true. |
0:53.2 | For behold, it was a just man who did |
0:55.5 | keep the record, for he truly did many miracles in the name of Jesus. And there was not any man |

1:29.1 | calendar. They're on a totally different calendar system. The point being, it's the fourth day |
1:34.7 | of the very first month of the year. Well, this is where we finally can do a little bit a crossover |
1:40.8 | between the old world and the new worlds, because we know when Jesus was crucified. |
1:45.0 | He was killed on, or one day, give or take on Passover. Well, we know when Passover falls. |
1:51.7 | It's the first full moon after the spring equinox every year. So it looks like the Nephite calendar |
1:58.9 | is turning over sometime really close to that spring equinox. |
2:05.6 | Notice the descriptions now that Mormon uses with the storm. Verse 6. |
2:10.6 | There was also a great and terrible tempest, and there was terrible thunder, in so much that it did shake the whole earth as if it was about to |
