Post by Heloram – It would be easy to give credit to my father for the great changes that took place following his great speech from the tower, if not for the fact the people – I mean all the people immediately gave credit to the Spirit of the Lord Omnipotent. Following the speech as…

Our nothingness and our worthless and fallen state.
Post by Heloram – After my father ended his speaking about what the angel had told him about the coming of Jesus Christ, the people fell to the earth with fear. They recognized their own carnal state and desired with all their hearts to receive forgiveness of their sins and to have their hearts purified….
The Natural Man is an Enemy of God
Post by Heloram – The glad tidings of great joy of which my father spoke brings so much hope, yet it carried with it a warning to those who fail to exercise the faith unto repentance. For me, my father’s speech raises a few points as well as questions. 1. There is hope for those…
Glad tidings of great joy.
Post by Heloram – The next part of my father’s speech was probably the greatest thing he has ever spoken. Not that everyone wasn’t listening intently anyway but they really paid attention when he said “I want to tell you what an angel from God came and told me.” Quoting my father directly again, “And…
The Lord God has spoken it.
Post by Heloram – Father is getting pretty frail, in fact it took everything he had to deliver his speech from the tower. Everybody pretty much expected him to be stepping aside as our king, so it was no surprise when he announced that my brother Mosiah would now become their teacher and king. For…

Post by Heloram – Obviously I have known my father my whole life and therefore I have seen every side of him. Yes, he is a great king, yes he was a mighty warrior and certainly one of the greatest leaders this people has ever known, (and a kind father) but I still stand amazed…
A Charge to Mosiah – our new king
Post by Heloram – What an exciting time to live! Before I share the words my father proclaimed from the tower let me share with you some of what he told Mosiah, Helaman and I, as we prepared for this great gathering. “My sons, I will give this people a name, that thereby they may…
We erected a tower.
Post by Heloram – Quite a bit has transpired since my last post. In his advanced age, my father – King Benjamin – had decided to pass the leadership of this wonderful people to my older brother Mosiah. He wanted to make the declaration personally and asked Mosiah to make a proclamation throughout the land,…
Being taught by our father
Post by Helorum – My father has again impressed upon us the importance of this record. The three of us, his sons, have been taught so well of the importance of becoming men of understanding, we consider it a great blessing to know the prophecies which have been spoken by our fathers. Being taught in…
