My sons, I would that ye should remember that were it not for these plates [of brass], which contain these records and these commandments, we must have suffered in ignorance, even at this present time, not knowing the mysteries of God… O my sons, I would that ye should remember that these sayings are true, and also that these records are true” -Mosiah 1:4-9 [1:3-6a]

Starting in 2025 we will be exploring Mormon Kabbalah using the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and the Plates of Brass. The Plates of Brass offer profound insights into Kabbalah, emphasizing restoration at every level—personal, communal, and cosmic. These themes resonate deeply with the Book of Mormon, where Nephite prophets expand and adapt the teachings of the brass plates to their unique historical and spiritual context. This connection illustrates the continuity of ancient Israelite theology while highlighting the creative ways Nephite prophets interpreted and applied these principles. Here we will explore these ideas.

Nephite prophets studying the Plates of Brass would have encountered a rich tapestry of ideas about restoration, healing, and covenant responsibility. These teachings likely influenced their own doctrines in several ways:

  1. The theological depth of Zenos’ vision of cosmic and individual repair deepened Nephite understanding of Christ’s role as a redeemer (Zenos 9:35-37).
  2. Neum’s emphasis on Israel’s role as a light to the nations inspired Nephite prophets to see their mission as universal (Neum 8:30).
  3. Melchizedek’s portrayal of the renewal of the creations provided a foundation for the Nephite hope in a millennial era (Melchizedek 12:32-35, 17:38, 18:13, 19:8, 20:25).
