It had been 600 years since Lehi left Jerusalem. Many of the Nephites were not righteous anymore. Samuel the Lamanite came to Zarahemla to preach to the people and prophecy of the signs of Jesus birth. He said there would be a night a day and a night as bringt as noon day. Some believed, but most did not and even tried to kill Samuel. 5 years passed and the unbelievers started to say the time had passed. They set a date that they would kill all the believers if the sign did not come. When Nephi, the prophet, saw how wicked the people had become he prayed all day. God told him that very night the sign would be given. Jesus would be born. That very night the sun went down but it was as light as noon day. The next day the sun rose again and they knew that was the day Jesus was born. A new star could be seen in the sky. When prophets speak today, They are teaching us the things Heavenly Father wants us to know. Even if it takes a long time for those promises to be fulfilled, If we believe, we will be safe.
