So that you may know “the truth of all things”, I wish to share with you ancient records that foretold of what would happen to “Plain and Precious Parts” of The Bible that were “kept back by that abominable church which is the mother of harlots, saith the Lamb”! (The Lamb is Jesus)

An Ancient American History records what happened HERE.

Note: The Bible itself speaks of other authoritative books of scripture which are missing including books of

• Nathan the prophet
• and of Jehu
• and Enoch,
• the prophecy of Ahijah,
• the visions of Iddo the seer,
• and even missing epistles of Paul
  see 2 Chronicles 9:29;    13:22;    20:34;    1 Corinthians 5:9;    Jude 1:14.

Yes, Jesus told other writers of ancient scripture of what would happen to The Bible.

To help explain this, I will show you the scriptures, and also leave my comments in [brackets and Red text].

These scriptures come from The Book of Mormon,  1st Book of Nephi, Chapter 13:34-42.

(Please accept this only as an act of love and kindness for all mankind.  ”The Truth shall set you free”!)

Chapter 13
(A Description)
About 600–592 B.C.  - Nephi sees in vision the church of the devil set up among the Gentiles, (The Old World) the discovery and colonizing of America (Lehi’s family who left Jerusalem and came to America, 600 B.C.), the loss of many plain and precious parts of the Bible, the resultant state of Gentile apostasy (The killing of the Apostles and the Fall of Jesus’s Church) , the restoration of the gospel, the coming forth of latter-day scripture (God the Father and Jesus Christ’s visitation to Joseph Smith in 1830 with the return of John the Baptist, Apostles Peter, James and John, return of Elijah the Prophet to Joseph Smith and in restoring Jesus’s Church), and the building up of Zion. (The Pure in heart”)

Selected verses of scriptures:

34And it came to pass that the angel of the Lord spake unto me, saying: Behold, saith the Lamb of God (Jesus), after I have ^avisited the ^bremnant of the house of Israel (People as recorded in the Bible) —and this remnant of whom I speak is the seed of thy father (Lehi and his family that left Jerusalem and came to America) —wherefore, after I have visited them in judgment, and smitten them (Of the Old World) by the hand of the Gentiles, and after the Gentiles do ^cstumble exceedingly, because of the most plain and precious parts of the ^dgospel of the Lamb (from The bible) which have been kept back by that abominable church, which is the mother of harlots, saith the Lamb (Jesus)—I will be merciful unto the ^eGentiles (followers of Christ) in that day, insomuch that I will ^fbring forth unto them, in mine own power, much of my ^ggospel, which shall be plain and precious, saith the Lamb. (Jesus…As contained in the Book of Mormon.)

35For, behold, saith the Lamb (Jesus): I will manifest myself unto thy seed (Lehi’s family in America),that they shall write many things which I shall minister unto them, which shall be plain and precious; and after thy seed shall be destroyed, and dwindle in unbelief (Lehi’s family in America), and also the seed of thy brethren (Jesus’s followers in the Old World), behold, ^athese things shall be hid up (Upper State of New York), to come forth unto the Gentiles, by the gift and power of the Lamb.…………………………………………………………………………………………..Jesus’s visit in America

(They were buried by Lehi’s descendants, later to be shown by an angel to Joseph Smith, theProphet.)

36And in them shall be written my ^agospel, saith the Lamb, and my ^brock and my salvation. (God’s word and teachings.)

37And ^ablessed are they who shall seek to bring forth my ^bZion (The pure in heart) at that day, for they shall have the ^cgift and the ^dpower of the Holy Ghost; and if they ^eendure unto the end they shall be ^flifted up at the last day, and shall be saved in the everlasting ^gkingdom of the Lamb; and whoso shall ^hpublish peace, yea, tidings of great joy, how beautiful upon the mountains shall they be.
(This is the Restored Church of Jesus Christ [of Latter-day Saints]. )

38And it came to pass that I beheld the remnant of the seed of my brethren (Lehi’s family from Jerusalem), and also the ^abook of the Lamb of God, which had proceeded forth from the mouth of the Jew (The Brass Plates of Laban which was a copy of the Bible  that Lehi’s family also brought from Jerusalem, 600 B.C.), that it came forth from the Gentiles (Followers of Jesus – Old World) ^bunto the remnant of the seed of my brethren. (Lehi’s family in America.)

39And after it had come forth unto them I beheld ^aother ^bbooks (Book of Mormon, and Books from the Lost Ten Tribes, yet to be known), which came forth by the power of the Lamb (Jesus), from the Gentiles unto them (Bible), unto the ^cconvincing of the Gentiles (Followers of Jesus – Old World) and the remnant of the seed of my brethren (Lehi’s family in America), and also the Jews who were scattered upon all the face of the earth (All other countries), that the records of the prophets and of the twelve apostles of the Lamb are ^dtrue.

40And the angel spake unto me, saying: These ^alast records, which thou hast seen among the Gentiles (The Book of Mormon), shall ^bestablish the truth of the ^cfirst (The Bible), which are of the ^dtwelve apostles of the Lamb, and shall make known the plain and precious things which have been taken away from them; and shall make known to all kindreds, tongues, and people, that the Lamb of God (Jesus) is the Son of the Eternal Father, and the ^eSavior of the world; and that all men must come unto him, or they cannot be saved.

41And they must come according to the words which shall be established by the mouth of the Lamb (Jesus’s words from all scriptures); and the words of the Lamb shall be made known in the records of thy seed (Decendents of Lehi in America), as well as in the ^arecords of the twelve apostles of the Lamb (The Bible); wherefore they both (The Bible and The Book of Mormon) shall be established in ^bone (One Purpose); for there is ^cone God and one ^dShepherd over all the earth.

42And the time cometh that he shall manifest himself unto all nations (The Second Coming of Jesus Christ), both unto the ^aJews and also unto the Gentiles; and after he has manifested himself unto the Jews and also unto the Gentiles, then he shall manifest himself unto the Gentiles and also unto the Jews, and the ^blast shall be first, and the ^cfirst shall be last.

If you would like to know more about this, you can get a FREE Book of Mormon and other media , as well as have a representative visit you and teach you privately.

As recorded, the day is coming soon when, “Yea, every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess before him. Yea, even at the last day, when all men shall stand to be judged of him, then shall they confess that he is God; then shall they confess, who live without God in the world, that the judgment of an everlasting punishment is just upon them; and they shall quake, and tremble, and shrink beneath the glance of his all-searching eye. (The Last Days) ” Mosiah 27:31

I, Alan Osmond, share these things openly with you, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.  
Romans 1:16

As Jesus said, these records were recorded for “a wise purpose”  that the “fullness of the gospel, which was lost from the Bible shall be known by the Book of Mormon.   The Book of Mormon and The Bible compliment and “prove” each other to be true as they contain Jesus’s words.  Jesus is “the same yesterday, today, and forever,” and what he says to one will NOT conflict with the other!

Actually, this knowledge fulfills prophecy in the Bible in the Book of  Ezekiel 37:16 and 19 where it says,
