1 Nephi 7:14; “For behold, the Spirit of the Lord ceaseth soon to strive with them; for behold, they have rejected the prophets, and Jeremiah have they cast into prison. And they have sought to take away the life of my father, insomuch that they have driven him out of the land”.
Jeremiah 32:1-2; “The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar. 2 For then the king of Babylon’s army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah’s house”.
How did Lehi know about Jeremiah being imprisoned?
The BoM tells us that Lehi and company left Jerusalem in the 1st year of the reign of Zedekiah. Jeremiah wasn’t imprisoned until the 10th year so how would he know about this?
If we can’t use external historical events and the BoM to verify itself how do we know it’s true?
