This section of scripture covers the conclusion of Christ's visit to America, particularly, it covers the public appearances. Jesus quotes Isaiah's description of the Millennium, reviews the scriptures, and commands the words of Samuel the Lamanite be added. He then adds the last half of the book of Malachi. Finally, he expounds all things from the beginning to the end of the earth, including the judgement day. Moroni wanted to write all the words on the plates of Nephi, but was forbidden.

Key points of discussion in this lesson are as follows:
Israel during the Millennium
Benefits of paying Tithing
Benefits of Fearing God
Benefits of passing the trial of our faith
Jesus came long enough for everyone in the land to make the journey to see Him if they chose.
Children, probably under 8, when their tongues are loosed, speak things more marvelous than those spoken by Jesus
Babes, whose tongues are loosed speak things so great, they should not be written down.

Questions arising from this lesson:
Why must we pay tithes and offerings?
Will fearing God give us worldly success?
Can we learn the things Jesus taught which are not written?
Why do little children and babes have the ability to speak things their parents do not know?
