Today in Sunday School, we were reviewing the Promise of the Land of Promise. We discussed how the Book of Mormon shows that two previous societies were completely destroyed on these two continents because of iniquity (or sin, if you need a smaller word you can spell. Sorry, class joke.)
I asked how many were left after the destruction of the Nephites, and someone said 24.
I've never thought about those 24, because I always believed or was told that they were also eventually hunted down. But what if they weren't? Is there a tribe today who is descended from those 24 who were with Mormon?
I've been studying the Hopi tribe and their beliefs as much as I can. As near as I can tell, there are actual prophets among them. Perhaps not always, but at least from time to time. Could they have come from that tiny group of people?
What are your thoughts and insights?
