“The Prophecies of the Holy Prophets”
The prophetic testimonies on the brass plates would have been similar to those of our Old Testament during the same time period, but, again, much more extensive and complete. The brass plates contained, for example, prophecies of Abraham concerning the coming of Jesus Christ (Helaman 8:16-17), prophecies of Jacob concerning the Nephite branch of his descendants (Alma 46:23-26), and prophecies of Joseph concerning Moses and Joseph Smith (2 Nephi 3). In addition, we become aware through the Book of Mormon of such noble but little-known prophetic figures as Zenos, Zenock, and Neum. (1 Nephi 19:10-17; Jacob 5; Alma 33:3-17; Alma 34:7; 3 Nephi 10:16.)
