Ether 1:43; “And there will I bless thee and thy seed, and raise up unto me of thy seed, and of the seed of thy brother, and they who shall go with thee, a great nation. And there shall be none greater than the nation which I will raise up unto me of thy seed, upon all the face of the earth. And thus I will do unto thee because this long time ye have cried unto me”.
Genesis 12:1-2; “Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing”.
Why did God tell Jared and company He’d build a nation out of them and no other nation would be greater than they are?
What about Israel? The Bible tells us that God promised Abraham He’d make a great nation of him and to this day they’re still here!
We’re given detailed information about Abraham’s father Terah, Abraham’s brothers, Abraham’s sister-in-law Milcah, his nephew Lot, where they lived and their migrations from one city to the other (Genesis 11:31-12:1) and yet there isn’t one single identifying marker of where any Jaredite moved to. Everything is told in generalities.
The God of the Bible never operates this way – we know we can depend on Him at all times and we can rely on His word to give us information about those who followed Him from Adam to the last author of the Bible, the Apostle John. Nothing is hidden with God!
Why would this Book of Mormon god continue to lie? He told Lehi that his family would live forever. Where are they now?
Why aren’t any of Jared’s descendants alive today?
Why can’t this god keep his promises?
