I was under the false impression that this shows EVIDENCE for Christ in America. Turns out that this video was nothing but fluffy music and random people bearing their testimony. Propaganda in it's most blatant form.

Tvedtnes notes that parallel with the Messianic Apocalypse 2.5, "in which the Lord calls the just "by name" is striking." (p. 339).

No evidence of any Book of Mormon claims have ever been found in the American continents. All DNA evidence shows that the native indians have mongoloid/Asian backgrounds not Jewish.

Hugh Nibley explains that while Laban would have had tens of thousands of soldiers at his command, the regular permanent garrison in Jeruslaem would have been between 30 and 50 men. In a recently discovered letter of Lehi's contemporary Nebuchadnezzar, the king speaks of a garrison of "fifty." In Babylonia, a platoon in the army consisted of 50 men and was always called a "fifty" just as Nephi spoke of "Laban with his fifty."..

Angry, Laman tried to beat Nephi with a stick but was stopped by an angel. Laman still remained unconvinced that they could obtain the plates from Laban and his "fifty" (1 Nephi 3:31).

He also notes concerning the Messiah that "All of the elements found in the Dead Sea Scrolls are also found in the Book of Mormon." (p. 334). "Nephi wrote of the meek, the poor, and of rejoicing, a;; concepts found in the Messianic Apocalypse 2.4, 6, 13." (p. 336). In King Benjamins discourse on the Messiah, the Book of Mormon has him saying "hear and know the voice by which ye shall be called, and also the name by which he shall call you" (Mosiah 5:12).

The Book of Mormon stands strongly on this issue thanks now also to the Dead Sea Scroll fragments coming to light. This Pre-Messianic aspect in the Book of Mormon was one of the most criticized elements of the book at one time. Tvedtnes points out (p. 335) that Lehi in the Book of Mormon uses the term "holy messiah", which is not in the Bible, yet is found in the Dead Sea Scrolls IQ30.
