Quote "This great American nation the Almighty raised up by the power of his omnipotent hand, that it might be possible in the latter days for the kingdom of God to be established in the earth."
~President Joseph F. Smith
Question "Nephi saw that "other books" would come forth through the gentiles. What important things would the "other books" do? What are those "other books"?
To keep it brief, I think that the reasons for the other books are two parts; 1) It is a record of the different peoples lineage, and experiences; and 2) It is to show us that the Lord's hand is over all of the Earth. Not just one nation, or people, but He is over all the Earth, and He is aware of His people over all the Earth. I think in the end that we will be amazed at how many records there are, and how we can compare the time-line and experiences, and see how they all mesh together. I am also excited to see the records that "...were plain and pure, and most precious and easy to the understanding of all men."
There is wisdom in all things that the Lord does.....if He didn't have a purpose for it, it wouldn't be done.

I, too, am amazed that in the end all of these books and confirmation of what all went down will eventually come together and that alone is testimony in its truthfulness of the gospel. It seems to be just a book to read but really, but really...it is A RECORD or PROOF that Jesus did walk amongst the people and that he did exists just as much as these past prophets...thanks for being my scripture study partner...i love it!
