The Stick of Joseph and the Stick of Judah
The Book of Mormon speaks about an ancient record closely connected to the house of Israel: the Plates of Brass. Because these records were originally part of the Josephite tradition preserved in Jerusalem, they represent an important link to their scriptural heritage.
Why the Plates of Brass Now?
One of the recurring promises found in the Book of Mormon is that God preserves sacred knowledge and reveals it in His own time. The book teaches that many truths, teachings, and prophetic writings have been hidden throughout history. God’s knowledge will not be lost forever, but carefully preserved until the moment when they can bless future generations.
