Acts of the Three Nephites

The Book of Mormon states that our Lord Jesus Christ gave His twelve disciples the promise of what they desired in their hearts. Three of them, Jonah and two others, desired to remain on earth for the purpose of bringing the souls of men to Our Lord, as long as the world exists. Jesus Christ conferred to these three disciples their desire, and added that they would never suffer the pains of death.

The Three Nephites.

These three, known as The Three Nephites, were given the privilege of seeing heaven; including many mysteries and future happenings. But this came with the admonition that they were forbidden to speak to the people of their day about this knowledge. Thus, this information has been hidden from us until now.

The translation of the first section of the sealed pages of the gold plates, showed that it contained a book entitled "The Acts of The three Nephites". Having written down key truths that they knew we would need in the last days, these three have provided us with great knowledge needed now.

Because The Three Nephites would remain on earth with the knowledge they received from the Heavens, there was a need to protect them from Satan: "so that Satan will not have power over us and ... that we may not be held back by the rulers of the earth until the day of judgment." (Sealed Book, Acts of the Three Nephites 3:14).

One of the main instructions included in this book is just how they successfully implemented the Order of Enoch so that they enjoyed a 200-year age of peace. Neither Joseph Smith nor Brigham Young were successful in their similar efforts, so this "how-to manual" from those who succeeded is of great worth because this celestial law is necessary to live in order to found Zion.

We ask that you read these pages from The Three Nephites. Pray, Ask and have Faith while doing this. Think of the follow words:

Let us no longer quarrel in controversy among us, but let us take upon ourselves the commandments of Christ. And stand up in such an order, to be united in all things. That together we may overcome any obstacle which Satan may place in our way.

Therefore, I want to remind you of these things that were required of us by Jesus Christ, to make us pure in heart, seeking with fidelity to promote good among brothers, without detracting from the words left to us by the prophets of the past, in order that we might obtain the word of God revealed among us, that we may be one, just as He remains united with us through His gospel. -- Sealed Book, Acts of the Nephites 5:8-9.
