Book of Mormon Prophecies: Contrasts With the Holy Bible?

    A friend asked me this question, more or less, yesterday, and I realized that I had not had a good or adequate immediate answer. So, I think it would be good to go over this question.

    First of all, the main prophecies or revelations of the Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ, largely coincide and correspond with the Bible's prophecies, revelations, and doctrines. We believe that they align very well, thus making Christ's Gospel, the Anointed One's Good News, congruent and coherent. There is a bit there to absorb, predictions and happenings said of the future.

    The Book of Mormon has some specific revelations that are worth reviewing, though. I thank my friend for this question.

    There are some official Church of Jesus Christ, like this one:

What Unique Doctrines Did the Lord Reveal through the Book of Mormon? | Book of Mormon Central

    There are specific promises and revelations, some are doctrinal and general Christian blessings and truths that go along with the Holy Bible, the Old and New Testaments.

    Of course, the mere existence of the Book of Mormon suggests things that are not accepted by traditional Bible believers. That believers and prophets of the Lord came to the Americas and started civilizations on this side of the world. But apart from the lives and devotions and battles for righteousness that those peoples waged for a thousand years, and more, leaving their witness and testimony of faith in Jesus and His plan of redemption, salvation, and happiness, there are specific prophecies of the peoples of the Americas, who are of the tribes of Israel, who will usher in the Second Coming of Jesus, and bring God's kingdom back to the Earth through the Restoration of All Things. Restitution, Redemption, Glory, and Exaltation. Victory over death and the Adversary, allowing God's children to be one with God and Jesus once more, as were before.

    Christopher Columbus and the U.S. Constitution are alluded to; the American nations are suggested as the bulwark of strength and freedom, blessed through the loins or lineage of the Sons of Israel, Ephraim and Manasseh. Judah and Benjamin, Levites and the rest will be around as well, but particularly the two sons of Joseph will lead the way of the Master, the Holy One of Ancient Israel and the whole world.

    So, how to sum up?

    1. The New World, the Western Hemisphere, will play a large part in the unfolding of the end times of Christ and His imminent and eminent return, His Kingdom, His government, His and His peoples' eternal destiny and plan.

    2. The descendants of the Nephites and Lamanites, and other ancient American nations, the peoples of the Book of Mormon, will play a prominent part in the leading and gathering of all Israel, the Lost Tribes and other, from all the corners of the Earth.

    3. The Gentiles and the Europeans and later others would become the Covenant people of God, helping usher in the winding up scenes of Jesus' advent and reign. The New Millenium. The thousand years of peace.

    4. There are a few more specific prophecies to be mentioned, of which I have to re-visit. However, some distinct revelations are not contained in the Book of Mormon and claimed anciently, but are newer to the world in the modern Prophet Joseph Smith Junior, in the collections of revelations contained in the Doctrine and Covenants. Like the New Jerusalem to be established in Missouri, and the Saints of the Latter-days to be headquartered in the United States, more or less, the temple worship and redemption of all mankind, living and dead, would be centered in the New World.

    I need to do more homework and research to discover, or re-find and renew my knowledge of such matters. It all can blend, all the holy scriptures and prophecies. Revelations are there to be found.

    Thanks again, my brother in Jesus.
