to the nature of that

       righteousness which is in our great and Eternal Head.

      Helaman 13:39

       39 O ye people of the land, that ye would hear my words! And I

       pray that the anger of the Lord be turned away from you, and that

       ye would repent and be saved.

      Helaman 14 Chapter 14

      Helaman 14:1

       1 And now it came to pass that Samuel, the Lamanite, did

       prophesy a great many more things which cannot be written.

      Helaman 14:2

       2 And behold, he said unto them: Behold, I give unto you a sign;

       for five years more cometh, and behold, then cometh the Son of

       God to redeem all those who shall believe on his name.

      Helaman 14:3

       3 And behold, this will I give unto you for a sign at the time

       of his coming; for behold, there shall be great lights in heaven,

       insomuch that in the night before he cometh there shall be no

       darkness, insomuch that it shall appear unto man as if it was

       day.

      Helaman 14:4

       4 Therefore, there shall be one day and a night and a day, as if

       it were one day and there were no night; and this shall be unto

       you for a sign; for ye shall know of the rising of the sun and

       also of its setting; therefore they shall know of a surety that

       there shall be two days and a night; nevertheless the night shall

       not be darkened; and it shall be the night before he is born.

      Helaman 14:5

       5 And behold, there shall a new star arise, such an one as ye

       never have beheld; and this also shall be a sign unto you.

      Helaman 14:6

       6 And behold this is not all, there shall be many signs and

       wonders in heaven.

      Helaman 14:7

       7 And it shall come to pass that ye shall all be amazed, and

       wonder, insomuch that ye shall fall to the earth.

      Helaman 14:8

       8 And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall believe on the

       Son of God, the same shall have everlasting life.

      Helaman 14:9

       9 And behold, thus hath the Lord commanded me, by his angel,

       that I should come and tell this thing unto you; yea, he hath

       commanded that I should prophesy these things unto you; yea, he

       hath said unto me: Cry unto this people, repent and prepare the

       way of the Lord.

      Helaman 14:10

       10 And now, because I am a Lamanite, and have spoken unto you

       the words which the Lord hath commanded me, and because it was

       hard against you, ye are angry with me and do seek to destroy me,

       and have cast me out from among you.

      Helaman 14:11

       11 And ye shall hear my words, for, for this intent have I come

       up upon the walls of this city, that ye might hear and know of

       the judgments of God which do await you because of your

       iniquities, and also that ye might know the conditions of

       repentance;

      Helaman 14:12

       12 And also that ye might know of the coming of Jesus Christ,

       the Son of God, the Father of heaven and of earth, the Creator of

       all things from the beginning; and that ye might know of the

       signs of his coming, to the intent that ye might believe on his

       name.

      Helaman 14:13

       13 And if ye believe on his name ye will repent of all your

       sins, that thereby ye may have a remission of them through his

       merits.

      Helaman 14:14

       14 And behold, again, another sign I give unto you, yea, a sign

       of his death.

      Helaman 14:15

       15 For behold, he surely must die that salvation may come; yea,

       it behooveth him and becometh expedient that he dieth, to bring

       to pass the resurrection of the dead, that thereby men may be

       brought into the presence of the Lord.

      Helaman 14:16

       16 Yea, behold, this death bringeth to pass the resurrection,

       and redeemeth all mankind from the first death—that spiritual

       death; for all mankind, by the fall of Adam being cut off from

       the presence of the Lord, are considered as dead, both as to

       things temporal and to things spiritual.

      Helaman 14:17

       17 But behold, the resurrection of Christ redeemeth mankind,

       yea, even all mankind, and bringeth them back into the presence

       of the Lord.

      Helaman 14:18

       18 Yea, and it bringeth to pass the condition of repentance,

       that whosoever repenteth the same is not hewn down and cast into

       the fire; but whosoever repenteth not is hewn down and cast into

       the fire; and there cometh upon them again a spiritual death,

       yea, a second death, for they are cut off again as to things

       pertaining to righteousness.

      Helaman 14:19

       19 Therefore repent ye, repent ye, lest by knowing these things

       and not doing them ye shall suffer yourselves to come under

       condemnation, and ye are brought down unto this second death.

      Helaman 14:20

       20 But behold, as I said unto you concerning another sign, a

       sign of his death, behold, in that day that he shall suffer death

       the sun shall be darkened and refuse to give his light unto you;

       and also the moon and the stars; and there shall be no light upon

       the face of this land, even from the time that he shall suffer

       death, for the space of three days, to the time that he shall

       rise again from the dead.

      Helaman 14:21

       21 Yea, at the time that he shall yield up the ghost there shall

       be thunderings and lightnings for the space of many hours, and

       the earth shall shake and tremble; and the rocks which are upon

       the face of this earth, which are both above the earth and

       beneath, which ye know at this time are solid, or the more part

       of it is one solid mass, shall be broken up;

      Helaman 14:22

       22 Yea, they shall
