Labantu benza “isiyaluyalu esikhulu kulo lonke izwe” (3 Nefi 1:7) baze banquma usuku lokubulala bonke ababekholwa uma uphawu olwaluprofethwe nguSamuweli umLamani—ubusuku obunganabo ubumnyama—lungaveli.

Kulezi zimo ezinzima, umprofethi uNefi “wakhala kakhulu kuNkulunkulu wakhe ekhalela abantu bakubo” (3 Nefi 1:11). Impendelo yeNkosi ikhuthaza noma ngubani obhekana nokuhlushwa kwamanga noma ukungabaza futhi odinga ukwazi ukuthi ukukhanya kuzonqoba ubumnyama: “Phakamisa ikhanda lakho futhi uthokoze; … ngizokugcwalisa konke lokho engenze ukuthi kukhulunywe ngomlomo wabaphrofethi bami abangcwele” (3 Nefi 1:13).
