This episode is part 14 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon.
This episode covers the first three chapters of the book of Mosiah. We have now shifted to the land of Zarahemla to see how they relate to the land of Nephi, and are 300-400 years removed from Jacob, the son of Lehi.
King Benjamin who succeeded his father Mosiah to the throne of Zarahemla is now old. He will speak to the people to pass the throne to his son also named Mosiah. Of course, he will give a long sermon to the people that sounds like something from a revivalist in the 1800's; except that hindsight prophecies about Jesus will be in there.
