So grab your scriptures, and let's dig into the Pearl of Great Price.

3 Nephi 1–7: Signs

President Ezra Taft Benson once said that “the record of the Nephite history just prior to the Savior’s visit reveals many parallels to our own day as we anticipate the Savior’s second coming.” Our theme all year for the Book of Mormon has been to anticipate Jesus. 3 Nephi 1–7 has the final chapters before His coming, and we will take President Benson’s council and apply those times to our day.
