Lehi and Sariah Leave Jerusalem.
The Lord’s warning to a family.
Lehi and Sariah lived in
Jerusalem with their children.
Lehi saw a vision from the Lord.
He saw that a Savior would
come to the world one day.
The Lord also showed him
that Jerusalem would be destroyed.
Lehi told the people about his vision. He told them that Jesus Christ
would come one day to save the world.
Lehi also told the people that
Jerusalem would be destroyed.
He invited them to repent.
The people were angry.
The Lord spoke to Lehi again in a dream. Lehi learned that he and his
family would not be safe in Jerusalem.
They had to leave. Lehi
and Sariah obeyed the Lord.
They left the city with their family.
Lehi and Sariah had four sons
named Laman, Lemuel, Sam, and Nephi.
They had to leave behind
their home and their nice things.
The family traveled in the
wilderness next to the Red Sea.
Lehi thanked the Lord
for blessing his family.
He taught his family to follow the
Lord and keep His commandments.
Laman and Lemuel complained.
They missed their home and all the things they left behind.
They did not understand why
the Lord asked them to leave.
They did not believe a big city
like Jerusalem could be destroyed.
Laman and Lemuel thought
that Lehi was imagining his visions.
What if their family got lost
in the wilderness forever?
Nephi wanted to know for
himself that what Lehi said was true.
He prayed and asked the Lord.
The Lord sent the Holy Ghost to
help Nephi believe his father’s words.
Nephi believed the Lord and shared
what he learned with his brothers.
Sam listened to Nephi and believed him,
but Laman and Lemuel did not listen.
