And blessed be he that shall bring this thing to light; for it shall be brought out of darkness unto light, according to the word of God; yea, it shall be brought out of the earth, and it shall shine forth out of darkness, and come unto the knowledge of the people; and it shall be done by the power of God.
The Book of Mormon came seemingly from nowhere. No one in the world had any inkling that a book written by ancient prophets lay buried in a hillside in New York. The entire Christian world was convinced that the Bible was the whole and only word of God, and nothing would ever be added. It was a foregone conclusion that God had finished his work among mankind and we were on our own to do the best we could with what we had. Then along comes a teenager in an obscure village with little education and no church affiliation, who claims that God has spoken to him, and within a few years he produces a book to back up his claim. Truly the Book of Mormon came out of obscurity and out of darkness.
