When Jesus returns to the people, he declares that they have great faith, and that because of that faith, they have seen great things that others had not. This was a faith strong enough that after Jesus’s departure, these people formed the core of a society that would live in peaceful obedience to the commandments for nearly two hundred years. They would prosper in that time, but not fall to the previous sins of pride that had limited their times of peace to a few years. This faith extended their peace longer than they had ever known, and perhaps longer than the rest of the world has ever known.
This is not the end of a chapter in the 1830 edition.
