The wording of Lehi’s prophecy in 1 Nephi 13, spoken by “the Lamb,” might sound peculiar to some readers. However, modern scholars discovered an eighth-century Greek prophecy that predicts future destructions to be followed by the advent of a Messiah. This anciently popular prophecy was said to be uttered by the mouth of “the Lamb” (pa-hib). Obviously, as Hugh Nibley explains, Lehi’s prophecy “is thus seen to be no anachronism, taken from Hellenistic or Christian times, as was once maintained.” (See Echoes, 457.)
