Joseph Smith's Mistakes Like Moses

I was having a discussion about some of the mistakes Joseph made that were like Moses where he listened to some person and ended up in trouble with the Lord. Anyways we were comparing that Joseph Smith never saw Zion fully built just like Moses never came into the promise land. What do you think about all of this?

Well, there is the sealed portion that we have not received due to the 116 pages being lost. It is an interesting comparison.

Joseph Smith's Mistakes Like Moses Studies Doctrine Mormon

Hello,
What comes to mind in regards to this discussion is - the sealed portion of the Book of Mormon deals with the further vision and understanding of what the brother of Jared saw when he was allowed to be brought back into the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ because of his faith having been turned into knowledge and it no longer being faith.

Also the way I understand it, is that what we lost when the 116 page manuscript which was given to Martin Harris and it being lost was the account called the Book of Lehi.

Either way, I guess we can get the Book of Lehi returned when and if the Lord decides we need it. However the 1/3 sealed portion of the Book of Mormon will be revealed when the Church as a whole will be ready for it.

If I am wrong in my understanding of these things, please someone let me know, but that is what comes to mind when I read what has been posted so far.

Yes that's right JB its mostly a comparison. We were thinking that Nauvoo was the Zion of the time for Joseph, did he expect to go further West to Utah or was that just because of the mobs that killed him and then the Saints had to leave?
