Helaman Chapter 5

---

Summary:   Nephi gives up the judgment seat (as chief judge)to Cezoram and becomes just the head of the church. He devotes the rest of his days to preaching to the people. Nephi and Lehi convert thousands of Lamanites. But when they go to the land of Nephi, they are captured and imprisoned. When their captors attempt to slay them, Nephi and Lehi are encircled in fire and cannot be touched. A cloud of darkness comes forth over the people and a voice commands the people to repent.

Key Scriptures (italicized and in quotes):

"9 O remember, remember, my sons, the words which king Benjamin spake unto his people; yea, remember that there is no other way nor means whereby man can be saved, only through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ, who shall come; yea, remember that he cometh to redeem the world."

"12 And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall."
