1 Nephi 10:4-6

4 Yea, even six hundred years from the time that my father left Jerusalem, a prophet would the Lord God raise up among the Jews—even a Messiah, or, in other words, a Savior of the world.

5 And he also spake concerning the prophets, how great a number had testified of these things, concerning this Messiah, of whom he had spoken, or this Redeemer of the world.

6 Wherefore, all mankind were in a lost and in a fallen state, and ever would be save they should rely on this Redeemer.

QUOTES FOR DISCUSSION

What was the role of the Messiah?<O:p</O:p
It…became necessary for the Father to send his Only Begotten Son, who was free from sin, to atone for our sins as well as for Adam’s transgression, which justice demanded should be done. He accordingly offered himself a sacrifice for sins,…thereby redeeming us from the fall, and from our sins, on condition of repentance.
Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines of Salvation, 1:126<O:p</O:p

Could you imagine how crowded it was waiting for this moment for those who died prior to the Savior's birth?
