King Benjamin teaches that God, prior to Christ’s birth, sent prophets among all peoples to declare the meaning of what Christ would accomplish.
“…The Lord God hath sent his holy prophets among all the children of men, to declare these things to every kindred, nation, and tongue, that thereby whosoever should believe that Christ should come, the same might receive remission of their sins, and rejoice with exceedingly great joy, even as though he had already come among them.” (Mosiah 3:13)
Questions:
-How many cultures had the ability to record the words of these prophets that were sent among them in the B.C. years?
-What is the probability that the words of these prophets would have been written down?
-What is the probability that those words, which were written down, would survive to our time?
