Ezekiel 37:15-20
The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions: And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand. And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these? Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand. And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes
When people ask why we believe the Record of the Nephites is from God, we can say because God told us so. The Lord talks about the stick of Judea and the stick of Joseph. The stick of Judea is the bible, written on scrolls or a stick. The stick of Joseph is the Record of the Nephites. With the two books together the full understanding of Christ’s teaches can be understood. If you read both books, you will know and understand that they are both of God. They both teach the same principals. You can read the Record of the Nephites here or if you want a paper copy you can contact us at contact@elijahmessage.net.
