-John 10:16—Where is Jesus when He said this? What did
He say about sheep? What did He do amongst them?
Where is the record of it?
-3 Nephi 15:13-24—Where is this taking place ? What did
He say about sheep? What did He do amongst them?
Where is the record?
-3 Nephi 16:1-3; 17:4; (cf. 21:26; 28:29; Jacob 5:19-24)—
Where will it take place? What does it say about sheep?
What was done amongst them? Is there a record of
these sheep? (2 Nephi 29:12-13)
“Did not Jesus visit them [other tribes of
Israel] after he ministered among the Nephites?
Answer: Of course he did, in one or many places as
suited his purposes. He assembled them together
then in exactly the same way he gathered the
Nephites in the land Bountiful so that they too
could hear his voice and feel the prints of the nails in
his hands and in his feet. Of this there can be no
question” (Bruce R. McConkie, The Millennial
Messiah:The Second Coming of the Son of Man, 216).
The Book of 3 Nephi (11-30) is the fifth gospel;

Elder Dallin H. Oaks of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles explained how
the ministering of angels is also a part of the promises of the sacramental prayers:
“These ordinances of the Aaronic Priesthood are also vital to the
ministering of angels. . . .
“. . . Angelic messages can be delivered by a voice or merely by thoughts
or feelings communicated to the mind. . . .
“. . . Most angelic communications are felt or heard rather than seen. . . .
“In general, the blessings of spiritual companionship and communication
are available only to those who are clean. . . . Through the Aaronic Priesthood
ordinances of baptism and the sacrament, we are cleansed of our sins and
promised that if we keep our covenants we will always have His Spirit to be with us.
I believe that promise not only refers to the Holy Ghost but also to the ministering
of angels, for ‘angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore, they speak
the words of Christ’ (2 Nephi 32:3). So it is that those who hold the Aaronic
Priesthood open the door for all Church members who worthily partake of the
sacrament to enjoy the companionship of the Spirit of the Lord and the ministering
of angels” (in Conference Report, Oct. 1998, 50–51; or Ensign, Nov. 1998, 38–39).
Elder Bruce R. McConkie suggested a
reason this may have occurred: “There was a special
reason why this was done in this instance and on a
onetime basis. Jesus had already taught them to pray
in his name to the Father, which they first did. . . .
Jesus was present before them as the symbol of the
Father. Seeing him, it was as though they saw the
Father; praying to him, it was as though they prayed
to the Father. It was a special and unique situation”
(The Promised Messiah: The First Coming of Christ
[1978], 560–61).
“That man is greatest and most
blessed and joyful whose life most closely
approaches the pattern of the Christ. This
has nothing to do with earthly wealth,
power, or prestige. The only true test of
greatness, blessedness, joyfulness is how
close a life can come to being like the
Master, Jesus Christ” (Ezra Taft Benson,
Ensign, 12/88, 2).
