Lehi Warns the People

Most of the people living in Jerusalem were wicked. God sent prophets to tell them to repent, but they did not want to change. They hated the prophets. 1 Ne. 1:1–4

Lehi believed the prophets. He prayed that the people would change and repent. 1 Ne. 1:5–6

Lehi had a vision. In his mind he saw God surrounded by many angels. The angels were singing and praising God. 1 Ne. 1:7–8

In his vision, Lehi was given a book that told what would happen in the future. He read that Jerusalem would be destroyed because the people were wicked. 1 Ne. 1:9–13

Lehi told the people that Jerusalem would be destroyed. He told of the coming of Jesus. The people were angry and tried to kill Lehi, but the Lord protected him. 1 Ne. 1:18–20
