Helaman 5:35

Now there was one among them

who was a Nephite by birth,

who had once belonged to the church of God but had dissented from them.

Helaman 5:36

And it came to pass that he turned him about,

and behold, he saw through the cloud of darkness the faces of Nephi and Lehi;

and behold, they did shine exceedingly, even as the faces of angels.

And he beheld that they did lift their eyes to heaven;

and they were in the attitude as if talking or lifting their voices

to some being whom they beheld.

Helaman 5:37

And it came to pass that this man did cry unto the multitude,

that they might turn and look.

And behold, there was power given unto them

that they did turn and look;

and they did behold the faces of Nephi and Lehi.

Helaman 5:38

And they said unto the man:

Behold, what do all these things mean,

and who is it with whom these men do converse?

Helaman 5:39

Now the man's name was Aminadab.

And Aminadab said unto them:

They do converse with the angels of God.

Helaman 5:40

And it came to pass that the Lamanites said unto him:

What shall we do, that this cloud of darkness

may be removed from overshadowing us?

Helaman 5:41

And Aminadab said unto them:

You must repent, and cry unto the voice,

even until ye shall have faith in Christ,

who was taught unto you by Alma, and Amulek, and Zeezrom;

and when ye shall do this,

the cloud of darkness shall be removed from overshadowing you.

Helaman 5:42

And it came to pass that they all did begin

to cry unto the voice of him who had shaken the earth;

yea, they did cry even until the cloud of darkness was dispersed.

Helaman 5:43

And it came to pass that when they cast their eyes about,

and saw that the cloud of darkness was dispersed from overshadowing them,

behold, they saw that they were encircled about,

yea every soul, by a pillar of fire.

Helaman 5:44

And Nephi and Lehi were in the midst of them;

yea, they were encircled about;

yea, they were as if in the midst of a flaming fire,

yet it did harm them not,

neither did it take hold upon the walls of the prison;

and they were filled with that joy which is unspeakable and full of glory.

Helaman 5:45

And behold, the Holy Spirit of God did come down from heaven,

and did enter into their hearts,

and they were filled as if with fire,

and they could speak forth marvelous words.

Helaman 5:46

And it came to pass that there came a voice unto them,

yea, a pleasant voice, as if it were a whisper, saying:

Helaman 5:47

Peace, peace be unto you,

because of your faith in my Well Beloved,

who was from the foundation of the world.

Helaman 5:48

And now, when they heard this

they cast up their eyes as if to behold from whence the voice came;

and behold, they saw the heavens open;

and angels came down out of heaven and ministered unto them.

Helaman 5:49

And there were about three hundred souls who saw and heard these things;

and they were bidden to go forth and marvel not,

neither should they doubt.
