The Words of Mormon 1
The book of the Words of Mormon is a bit confusing when
first encountered, since it works as an intercession in between writings by a
later editor and writer in between these ancient writings. Mormon inserts his
intercession into this ancient sequence. Mormon writes from a future in which
the Nephites are almost completely wiped out, so that it seems like a sort of
apocalyptic extinction for these ancient Jewish Americans. In his intercession,
Mormon writes about how King Benjamin was successful in taking the land of
Nephi back from the Lamanites (The Words of Mormon 1:14).
