- vv. 23-26 stand in striking parallel to Acts 3:22-26 (on which see commentary). The English wording of the Book of Mormon has obviously been selected in consideration of KJV Acts, and both discuss the same two prophecies, the prophet like unto Moses and the seed of Abraham blessing the kindreds of the earth, applying them partly to Christ's first coming and partly to the future through the last days. Do the differences between them reflect adaptation to the two audiences, with their differing histories and spiritual conditions? How does the comparison clarify the shared prophetic message?
- The explicit Acts 3 parallel begins in v. 23 (Acts 3:22), but compare the preceding verses. In what ways can the events and phenomena prophesied in v. 22 be viewed as "restitution[s] of all things ... since the world began"?
