Abstract

Summary Lynne Hilton Wilson and John W. Welch discuss the conclusion of 1 Nephi, focusing on the principles of living the gospel and the fulfillment of the Lord's commands. They examine the marriage of Nephi to a daughter of Ishmael, the discovery of the Liahona, and the construction of Nephi's ship, framed by the overarching commitment to follow divine guidance. The narrative includes the death of Ishmael at Nahom, the rebellion of Laman and Lemuel, and the eventual journey to the promised land, where they find various animals and resources. Nephi’s writings emphasize sacred matters, including prophecies of Christ's coming, His crucifixion, and the future gathering of Israel, as reflected in Isaiah's prophecies included in the text. The discussion concludes with affirmations of faith and God's enduring promises, suggesting the Book of Mormon provides clarity and understanding of Isaiah's words through Joseph Smith’s revelations.
