It was not uncommon for early Israelite prophets to use striking conduct to emphasize the import of their warnings (Jeremiah 13:1-11; Jeremiah 19:1-13; 1 Kings 11:29-39; 2 Kings 11:29-39; 2 Kings 13:15-19; Isaiah 20:2-6). It is suggested that Nephi’s sermon from a tower in his yard employed similar imagery to draw a crowd and to emphasize his warning message.
