For according to the words of the prophets, the Messiah cometh in six hundred years from the time that my father left Jerusalem; and according to the words of the prophets, and also the word of the angel of God, his name shall be Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
--2 Nephi 25:19
Prophets of God prophesied that Christ, the Messiah, would come 600 years after the prophet Lehi and his family left Jerusalem heading to America. They also prophesied that the Messiah’s name would be Jesus Christ, the Son of God. These prophecies were fulfilled. Jesus was born to the virgin Mary as prophesied 600 years from when Lehi and family did actually leave Jerusalem. He was named Jesus, again fulfilling prophecy. He became the Christ, the Savior of the World. He lived a perfect life. In Him was no guile or sin. He lived the example that we all should strive to follow. He helped people, taught people, and completely overcame the world. We too need to put worldly things second and first the things of the gospel and of a spiritual nature. In other words, we need to put God first and foremost above all else.
