“A Holy Land”
The prophets of the Book of Mormon frequently referred to the Americas as a promised land. Enos’s record now gives it a higher designation, -a holy land. A land which is holy is a land consecrated, dedicated, and set apart, a land blessed by the hand of the Lord for his service and his purposes. This land is the place of Eden, the place of Adam-ondi-Ahman, the place of the New Jerusalem, the birthplace of the Book of Mormon and the Restoration. It has been designated by God as a sanctuary for truth and righteousness. It is from the American continent that in this dispensation the seeds of salvation have been and will be carried to all other lands.
