This episode is part 13 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon.
This episode covers three small books that follow the Book of Jacob: Enos, Jarom, and Omni.
There is a lot about the brass plates being passed down from generation to generation and how the Nephites fare against the Lamanites.
Some questions arise with the date ranges and the age of Jacob when he died. We look at a few anachronisms in the Book of Mormon from these short books and, of course, quotes from the New Testament before their time. We eventually learn about a civilization in ancient America that started from one surviving son of King Zedekiah.
