	Record of the Nephites - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The primary use is to describe the collection of inscribed metal plates on which the Nephites recorded their history.
		The Record of the Nephites was also the manuscript title of the Book of Mormon.
		The record keeper was usually a prophet, although there are some minor authors who were not.

		The land southward was divided by a "narrow strip of wilderness" that ran from the "sea east" to the "sea west" (Alma 22:27).
		Nephites occupied the land to the north of this wilderness, and the Lamanites, that to the south.
		Zarahemla was the Nephite capital in the first century B.C. That portion of the land southward occupied by the Nephites was known as the "land of Zarahemla" (Hel.

		The Record of the Nephites is a translation of the scriptural record of some of the ancient inhabitants of America.
		This, of course, is one of the messages of The Record of the Nephites: that the Holy One of Israel led colonies of righteous Israelites to the land of America, prior to the destruction of Jerusalem and the Babylonian dispersion that occurred in about 587 BC.
		Even more stunning evidence that confirms the historicity of the Record of the Nephites is found in the fact that there is a very high correlation between the reformed Egyptian characters of the Micmac tribe, and a small sample the characters used by the ancient Nephites.

	The Lamanite View of Book of Mormon History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Nephites were accused of unjust rule and suspected of schemes to deprive the Lamanites of their possessions just as Laman and Lemuel believed Nephi deprived them of their rightful pleasures.
		Whosoever would not believe in the tradition of the Lamanites, but believed those records which were brought out of the land of Jerusalem, and also in the tradition of their fathers, which were correct, who believed in the commandments of God and kept them, were called the Nephites (Alma 3:11).
		The record says "they were sorrowful, because of their wickedness, insomuch that they did bow down before me, and did plead with me that I would forgive them of the thing that they had done against me" (1 Nephi 7:19- 0).

	English Translation
		This record of prophecy of the Lord is in the Hebrew language and has been preserved by the Spirit from the Jaredite language as part of three records.
		The records on these plates are of The Spirit of prophecy and include prophetic writings from the Jews, and from the prophecies preserved by Mormon, who was descended from King Mosiah, from Nephi, and from Israel.
		This record was taken from the Jaredite language and written in Hebrew by commandment of Christ, and is taken from a record written in sacred engravings.

	Omni 1:2 I of myself am a wicked man
		This is not explicitly recorded but makes sense given the fact that the Lamanites were later described as inhabiting the lands to the south and the Nephites were described as inhabiting the lands to the north.
		The record states that the sons were killed in the presence of their father.
		The Nephites had this record in the brass plates, but the Mulekites had lost touch with their God because they had no record to teach them of the creation and His dealings with the house of Israel.

		An account of the righteousness of the Lamanites, and the wickedness and abominations of the Nephites, according to the record of Helaman and his sons, even down to the coming of Christ, which is called the book of Helaman.
		Helaman 4:8 8 And thus those dissenters of the Nephites, with the help of a numerous army of the Lamanites, had obtained all the possession of the Nephites which was in the land southward.
		Helaman 4:11 11 Now this great loss of the Nephites, and the great slaughter which was among them, would not have happened had it not been for their wickedness and their abomination which was among them; yea, and it was among those also who professed to belong to the church of God.

	The Translation
		Mormon would have been writing while there was still much room on the plates, but by the time his son Moroni was finishing up his record, most of the space available for writing on the plates was already filled.
		He says that these two records are a marvelous gift from the Lord to His Covenant People [D10] and are to be included in the Nephite record [D12] in Hebrew, the language of the people of Israel [D20].
		Moroni had witnessed the final destruction of the Nephite civilization, and, while Mormon had abridged the record of the Nephite people almost to the end, Moroni had been given the responsibility (by the strongest commandment -- E7) for abridging the Jaredite record and recording the Nephites’ final defeat.

		After Jesus had explained the prophecies and teachings in the records that the Nephites had, He said, "Behold, other scriptures I would that ye should write, that ye have not." He then asked Nephi to "bring forth the record which ye have kept" (3 Nephi 23:67).
		The Savior then commanded that the record be updated so that there would be a witness to the fulfillment of Samuel's prophecy (see 3 Nephi 23:13).
		He asked Nephi to show Him the record the Nephites had kept and pointed out that the fulfillment of one of Samuel the Lamanite's prophecies had not been written about.

		The first Nephi, who left Jerusalem with a small company of people led out from that city by his father, Lehi, 600 B.C., and who afterwards became their leader, prophet, and their first king-- made two sets of plates, on which he proposed engraving the history of his people.
		On the "larger" of these two sets he engraved an account of his father's life, travels, prophecies, etc., together with his genealogy; and upon them also he recorded a full history of the wars and contentions of his people, as also their travels, and an account of the cities they founded and colonies they established.
		They were the record of the Nephites from the time they left Jerusalem (600 B.C.) until they were destroyed (A.D. Apparently the large plates were divided into books, each named for its primary author.

		It is recorded in the American Cyclopedia and the Encyclopedia Britannica, that I, David Whitmer, have denied my testimony as one of the three witnesses to the divinity of the Book of Mormon; and that the other two witnesses, Oliver Cowdery and Martin Harris, denied their testimony to that Book.
		We are told in Ether i:11, that the sealed records shall not go forth unto the Gentiles until the day that they shall repent of their iniquity, and become clean before the Lord, and have faith in him even as the brother of Jared did.

		The Nephites were the record keepers of the Book of Mormon.

		Both the Nephites and the Mulekites lived simultaneously with the Jaredites for approximately 200 years to 300 years, after which the Jaredite kingdom fell.

		That precious instructions recorded on the sacred page—pray always—which was expressly impressed [158] upon him, was at length entirely forgotten, and as I previously remarked, a fixed determination to obtain and aggrandize himself, occupied his mind when he arrived at the place where the record was found.
		I think I am justified in saying that this is the highest hill for some distance round, and I am certain that its appearance, as it rises so suddenly from a plain on the north, must attract the notice of the traveller as he passes by.

		It asserts that its principal author was the prophet Mormon, who compiled most of its contents in the 4th century A.D., and that Smith later translated the record by divine inspiration via a Urim and Thummim.
		The crowning event of the Book of Mormon is the visitation of Christ to the Nephites around the year 34 AD (3 Nephi 11-26).
		At that point in time, the Nephites were called "the children of Christ" (Mosiah 5:7) The faithful members of the church in the time of Captain Moroni (73 BC) were called "Christians" by their enemies, because of their belief in Christ.

		Some notes recorded by John Taylor in July or August of 1839 may help us to understand why there was so much confusion about the identity of the angel.
		Joseph said that mention of baptism for the remission of sins on the Nephite plates was followed by the vision of May 1829.
		When Jesus appeared to the Nephites, they heard the voice of the Father: "and it was not a harsh voice, neither was it a loud voice; nevertheless, and notwithstanding it being a small voice it did pierce them that did hear to the center" (3 Nephi 11:3).

	Sealed Portion - Has someone claimed to have translated the Sealed Portion of the Brother of Jared ?
		Moroni used the interpreters to translate the record and to make a copy of it on the gold plates, which he also sealed up with the interpreters, according to the commandment of God, who prophesied that they would come forth to the Gentiles at the appointed time.
		The brother of Jared wrote his experiences on something, whether plates, or tablets, we don’t know, and he was also commanded to seal up the two stones along with the record, allowing a future generation to translate the record.
		After His visit and the revealing of the Sealed Portion the Nephites began their golden age, followed by the dwindling in unbelief which led to their destruction.

		The question of the wording of the Sermon on the Mount as recorded in Third Nephi is explored in Stan Larson, "The Sermon on the Mount: What Its Textual Transformation Discloses concerning the Historicity of the Book of Mormon," Trinity Journal 7 (Spring 1986):23-45.
		For the Third Nephi account, Nephi supposedly recorded the text soon after the reported visit of Jesus, and this record was later abridged by Mormon, after whom the Book of Mormon is named (see 3 Nephi 16:4; 23:4; 26:7, 11).

		The Nephites in general had become wicked, and they had so many arguments and dissensions that they lost their battles, and the robbers gained more power over them.
		He told the Nephites that after they had gathered, they should build very strong fortifications around themselves, which were to be guarded day and night by their Nephite and Lamanite armies.
		The Nephites had the advantage, because it was impossible for the robbers to lay siege long enough to have any effect on their food supply.

		They kept records of their history, their experiences, and their religion, on metal plates, which were passed from father to son.
		Around 400 CE, with most of the Nephites having been wiped out in wars with the Lamanites, one of the last of the Nephites, a man named Mormon, compiled and edited the records of his people, added some writings of his own, and passed them on to his son, Moroni.
		Mormons claim this book to be a record written on golden plates by prophets of a race who lived in the Americas for about 1,000 years.

		The concept that the Nephites and Lamanites occupied all of North and South America was consistently taught throughout the nineteenth century.

	Open Letter to an Anonymous Mormon
		The Book of Mormon is suppose to be a record of a conflict between the Nephites who were the people of God and the Lamanites who were evil.
		One problem is that LDS church claims that the Lamanites of the Book of Mormon are American Indians who are the descendants of the Hebrews and in particular the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh of the 6th Century B.C. Anthropologists tell us that the American Indians are Mongoloids and not Semites.
		The Lamanites and the Nephites spoke the language called "reformed Egyptian." Any competent linguist will tell you that there is no correspondence between the etymology, philosophy, or phonetics of the "Hebrew" and "Egyptian" names in the Book of Mormon and languages of the American Indians.
