And it came to pass that in the commencement of the ninety and second year, behold, the prophecies
of the prophets began to be flfilled more flly+ for there began to be greater signs and greater miracles
wroght among the people,

0or behold, 1 say nto yo there be many things to come+ and behold, there is one thing which is of
more importance than they all2 for behold, the time is not far distant that the 3edeemer li4eth and
cometh among his people,
-Alma 5* 5
Lara*
0or behold, the time cometh, and is not far distant,
that with power, the Lord 6mnipotent who reigneth, who was, and is from all eternity to all eternity
shall come down from hea4en among the children of men, and shall dwell in a tabernacle of clay, and
shall go forth amongst men, wor&ing mighty miracles, sch as healing the sic&, raising the dead,
casing the lame to wal&, the blind to recei4e their sight, and the deaf to hear, and cring all manner of
diseases,
And he shall cast ot de4ils, or the e4il spirits which dwell in the hearts of the children of men,
And lo, he shall sffer temptations, and pain of body, hnger, thirst, and fatige, e4en more than man
can sffer, e7cept it be nto death+ for behold, blood cometh from e4ery pore, so great shall be his
angish for the wic&edness and the abominations of his people,
And he shall be called Jess Christ, the Son of God, the 0ather of hea4en and earth, the Creator of all
things from the beginning+ and his mother shall be called 'ary,
And lo, he cometh nto his own, that sal4ation might come nto the children of men e4en throgh
faith on his name+ and e4en after all this they shall consider him a man, and say that he hath a de4il,
and shall scorge him, and shall crcify him,
And he shall rise the third day from the dead+ and behold, he standeth to 8dge the world+ and behold,
all these things are done that a righteos 8dgement might come pon the children of men,

And she broght forth her first born son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes,
and laid him in a manger, becase there was no room for them in the inn,
And there were in the same contry shepherds abiding in the the field, &eeping watch o4er their floc&
by night,
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came pon them, and the glory of the Lord shone rond abot them*
and they were sore afraid,
And the angel said nto them, 0ear not* for, behold, 1 bring yo good tidings of great 8oy, which shall
be to all people,
0or nto yo is born this day in the city of :a4id a Sa4ior, which is Christ the Lord,
And this shall be a sign nto yo+ ;e shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a
manger,
And sddenly there was with the angel a mltitde of the hea4enly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men,

And this is the gospel, the glad tidings, which the 4oice ot of the hea4ens bore record nto s--
That he came into the world, e4en Jess, to be crcified for the world, and to bear the sins of the
world, and to sanctify the world, and to cleanse it from all nrighteosness+

And now, after the many testimonies which ha4e been gi4en of him, this is the testimony, last of all,
that we gi4e of him* That he li4es!
0or we saw him, e4en on the right hand of God+ and we heard the 4oice bearing record that he is the
6nly @egotten of the 0ather--
That by him, and throgh him, and of him, the worlds are and were created, and the inhabitants thereof
are begotten sons and daghters nto God,
