Summary of Words of Mormon

I apologize for not doing a very good job of summarizing.  Let's pick up where we left off.  This is not the best summary I have ever done, but it will have to do for now.  If you want to add any details, there is a comments section below and I would be happy to read them. 

Words of Mormon  (Summary)

Remember, Mormon is at the end of the Nephite period.  His country, his nation, his people have been destroyed because of wickedness and rebellion against God.

So, he interrupts us to tell us about where these writings came from.  They were handed down from King Benjamin until they ended up in Mormon's possession. 
These are also plates of/from Nephi.  These contain sacred writings and prophesies from the holy prophets and the Holy Ghost says, "Add these things to your book."  So, he puts the abridgement in and hopes that it will help people be righteous and that the posterity of the remaining fragment(s) of his people will read the book and come to Christ and be happy.  He studied this book from Nephi and realized that all the prophecies that were written about his people have come to be.  He has faith that prophecies for the future will also come to fulfillment.

Mormon lived and did this in about 385 A.D.
King Benjamin lived around 130 B.C.

Now, we go back to King Benjamin's story:  There was war between the Lamanites and the Nephites. 
King Benjamin finishes the war.  Sends the Lamanites away and some Nephites follow them to live with them and become part of them.  "many dissensions away unto the Lamanties"
"And it came to pass that after there had been false Christs, and their mouths had been shut, and they punished according to their crimes;
"And after there had been false prophets, and false preachers and teachers among the people, and all these having been punished according to their crimes... contention...and... dissensions... with the assistance of the holy prophets..." King Benjamin eradicates the wickedness among his people and restores peace to the land and people of Nephi. 

We find out that King Benjamin is a righteous man, a holy man and he not only follows God, but he leads his people in righteousness and with the holy prophets works and works and works until his people live in peace.

Now, one day in the future when I come back and read Words of Mormon, I will have some sort of base upon which to build my knowledge and understanding.
