What is in the Book of Mormon that fulfills the Bible?

Answer 1

This is a fun question. Unfortunately I only have time to mention a few things.

1. Jacob gave an interesting blessing to his son Joseph just before he died.
"Jacob is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall.... The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills...."
-Gen. 49:22-26
Often scriptures referencing fruit refer to posterity; e.g., "fruit of thy loins" (which to keep this simple I will quote again shortly).
The posterity of Joseph will run over the wall of the well. Obviously Joseph is not literally a branch, and he will not literally grow over the walls of a well. Branches (or tribes) of the house of Israel were lead away (or captured and enslaved) from time to time. the general scattering of the tribes is usually referred to as the "diaspora." -dispersion.
A few families heeded warnings from the Lord's prophets and fled before they were forced to.
Lehi and Ishmael were two such men who departed from Jerusalem with their families and were led across the ocean (WELL) to the ancient Americas around 600 BC.
Lehi was a descendant of Manasseh, who was the son of Joseph (Alma 10:3). These families had great blessings bestowed upon them and were highly favored of the Lord, thus fulfilling in part Joseph's blessing under the hands of Jacob.
The "everlasting hills" mentioned in this blessing, where some of the fruit of Joseph were to travel to, may be realistically identified as the mountain range stretching from the North tip of Alaska, to the southern tip of South America. -The Rockies and the Andes combine for this string of "everlasting hills."

2. Our friend previously quoted Ezekiel 37:16-19. Summarized briefly, two sticks are to be written on. One by Judah, one by Joseph. A stick is a scroll, much like the Dead Sea Scrolls. So two peoples are to write on scrolls and bring them together. The Bible contains mainly the writings of Jews (those from the tribe of Judah). The Book of Mormon contains mainly the writings of those of the posterity of Joseph (those who grew over the well). These TWO records combine to testify of the divinity of Jesus Christ and his supreme mission. "In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established." -2 Cor 13:1, Deut 19:15

3. John 10:16, is an interesting one also. “And other sheep I have which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall here my voice; and there shall be one fold and one shepherd.” Christ proclaims to the Nephites (descendants of Lehi-from the tribe of Joseph) that they and other scattered tribes are the “other sheep” he was to visit. See 3 Nephi 15:12-24.

Many nay-sayers have tried to make sense of this verse by saying that the other sheep were the gentiles. Here’s the problem, Christ specifically stated that these sheep were to hear HIS voice, and he also stated that HE was only sent to the lost (or other) sheep of the house of Israel (Matt 15:24). In fact the Apostles were not given the green light to preach the gospel to the gentiles until long after the ascension of the Savior when it was revealed to Peter in vision. See Acts10

I hope this helped.

Best wishes,

Answer 2

That Jesus would ascend to heaven and rise again. Mormons believe it fulfills the Holy Bible of the middle east because Jesus carried on His teachings on the North American continent.

Answer 3

confident, interior the e book of mormon there have been descendants from diverse brothers. One team replaced into called the Lamanites, the different the Nephites. The nephites have been religious a number of of the time and in simple terms like the individuals over interior the bible land have been blessed. In Bible lands, there have been innovations and enhancements in expertise whilst faith replaced into there (easy interior the minds of individuals) whilst faith left and grew to become vulnerable, the dark a while from a hundred advert to approximately 1700, there replaced into little or no progression interior the minds of adult men, very few innovations. a similar replaced into genuine interior the B of M yet began a splash later in approximately 4 hundred advert whilst all the nephites have been killed by using the Lamanites. God letting that take place, through fact the Nephites grew to become depraved, in simple terms like he did with Jerusalem being destroyed whilst they grew to become depraved. Now to the factor. In needed united statesa. there have been pyramids, and ruins dotting the continent of extensive city centers everywhere in the land of the Mayan's. yet whilst Columbus and others got here, they weren't residing in those deserted cities and had lost the understanding that replaced into there. In Peru, there replaced into data that interior the enlightened time, that they had actual achieved suggestions surgical operation, from the scars discovered on bones, and a number of the implements discovered. They labored with metals and made gadgets of conflict and artwork. They lost maximum of that and have been then making gadgets of conflict and artwork out of Rock there's a concrete street poured at that factor that is going from the south area of this area, in direction of peru. yet whilst the Europeans arrived, that they had no longer used concrete in only about 1400 years or much less. They have been residing in residences made up of dirt or of skins. The e book of Mormon confirms the time frames, in simple terms like the bible confirms the time frames of civilization on the different continent.

Answer 4

The atonement of Jesus Christ was a central part of the religion of a group of people that we believe lived on the American continent.

So the BoM is also a witness of Jesus.

Ezekiel 37:18 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?
19 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.
20 ¶ And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.
