“Who Had Once Belonged to the Church of God but Had Dissented from Them”

W. Cleon Skousen

In that crowd was one man who was doing some very fast thinking. He was a Nephite who had wandered out of the Church and joined the Lamanites. Apparently he was trying to free himself and flee to safety when he turned around and saw the faces of Nephi and Lehi shining radiantly in the darkness. An illustration of what the 300 men saw is portrayed on page 168 of volume three of Treasures from the Book of Mormon.
