The brother of Jared was granted a panoramic vision, that vision which the scriptures tell us has been given to prophet-leaders of dispensations, a vision of things from the beginning to the end. This he was instructed to seal up; it constitutes or is included in what we know as the sealed portion of the Book of Mormon. This “sealed book” is described in Nephi’s record as containing“ a revelation from God, from the beginning of the world to the ending thereof.” When it comes forth it will “reveal all things from the foundation of the world unto the end thereof.” (2 Nephi 27:7, 10.)
