“The Nephites Began to Reckon Their Time from This Period When the Sign Was Given”

W. Cleon Skousen

Mormon suddenly realizes that the Nephites are no longer numbering events in terms of the year of the judges but they are fixing events in terms of the number of years since the day and a night and a day without darkness. And, of course that was the time of Christ's birth.
