Questions

v. 16 states that "the Lord poured out his Spirit ... to prepare ... the children of men ... to receive the word which should be taught among them at the time of his coming." The footnotes indicate that this was ~80 years before Christ's birth, and over 100 years before His visit to the Nephites. If the timeline is correct, it seems unlikely that any of these individuals were still alive at the time of his coming. Why, then, was the Lord preparing them for this event? Are we being similarly prepared to receive the word which should be taught at the time of his next coming?

vs. 16-17 indicate that the Spirit was preparing the minds and hearts of the people so they would not be hardened against the word. Does this mean that no one can/will receive the word without first receiving the Spirit? If so, why?
