Nephi, a prophet here in America, saw the wickedness and wrong doings of some of the people who would not believe. It made him very sad. After praying to our Father in heaven all day, the voice of Jesus came to Nephi in answer to his prayers and said: “Lift up your head and be of good cheer; on this night shall the sign be given, and on the morrow come I into the world, to show unto the world that I will fulfill all that which I have caused to be spoken by the mouth of my holy prophets (3 Nephi 1:13).” Jesus himself told the people that he would come into the world. people everywhere had waited for a long time for the promised Savior to be born. How happy Nephi and his people were! They had believed what the prophets had said, and now they knew that the signs and wonders would soon take place. Nephi and the other righteous people must have knelt in prayer many times to thank our Heavenly Father that this glorious promise was soon to be fulfilled and that Jesus would soon come to the earth.
