who were in the land northward

and did preach the word of God unto them,

and did prophesy many things unto them;

Helaman 7:4

And seeing the people in a state of such awful wickedness,

and those Gadianton robbers filling the judgment–seats —

having usurped the power and authority of the land;

laying aside the commandments of God,

and not in the least aright before him;

doing no justice unto the children of men;

Helaman 7:7

Oh, that I could have had my days in the days

when my father Nephi first came out of the land of Jerusalem,

that I could have joyed with him in the promised land;

then were his people easy to be entreated,

firm to keep the commandments of God,

and slow to be led to do iniquity;

and they were quick to hearken unto the words of the Lord—

Helaman 8:3

For behold, Nephi had spoken unto them

concerning the corruptness of their law;

yea, many things did Nephi speak which cannot be written;

and nothing did he speak which was contrary to the commandments of God.

And as he lifted up the brazen serpent in the wilderness,

even so shall he be lifted up who should come.

And as many as should look upon that serpent should live,

even so as many as should look upon the Son of God with faith,

having a contrite spirit, might live,

even unto that life which is eternal.

Helaman 8:18

Yea, and behold I say unto you, that Abraham not only knew of these things,

but there were many before the days of Abraham

who were called by the order of God;

yea, even after the order of his Son;

and this that it should be shown unto the people,

a great many thousand years before his coming,

that even redemption should come unto them.

Helaman 8:20

And behold, also Zenock, and also Ezias, and also Isaiah, and Jeremiah,

(Jeremiah being that same prophet who testified of the destruction of Jerusalem)

according to the words of Jeremiah.

O then why not the Son of God come, according to his prophecy?

Helaman 9:16

And now it came to pass that

the judges did expound the matter unto the people,

and did cry out against Nephi, saying:

Behold, we know that this Nephi must have agreed

with some one to slay the judge,

and then he might declare it unto us,

that he might convert us unto his faith,

that he might raise himself to be a great man,

chosen of God, and a prophet.

Helaman 9:36

And then shall he say unto you,

that I, Nephi, know nothing concerning the matter

save it were given unto me by the power of God.

And then shall ye know that I am an honest man,

and that I am sent unto you from God.

and they could not take him to cast him into prison,

for he was taken by the Spirit and conveyed away out of the midst of them.

Helaman 10:17

And it came to pass that

thus he did go forth in the Spirit, from multitude to multitude,

declaring the word of God, even until he had declared it unto them all,

or sent it forth among all the people.
