"Third Nephi and its account of the ministry of the resurrected Jesus to the Npehites has long been seen as the pinnacle of the Book of Mormon. This text can also be viewed as the Holy of Holies of the Book of Mormon. Everything in 3 Nephi, especially the ministry of the Savior, echoes themes related to the temple and the presence of the Lord in the Holy of Holies. themes such as silence, timelessness, unity, awe, and consecration confirm this interpretation."
