“As Though They Had Already Come”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
With the Nephites, as with all the faithful Saints before the Savior came into mortality, their faith was in the promise of a redemption which was sure, in a God before whom all things-past, present, and future-were and are one eternal now. For them, prophecy was as history.
