Zenock

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

According to the Book of Mormon, Zenock was an old world prophet whose pre-Christian era writings were recorded upon the plates of brass. Zenock is quoted or paraphrased a number of times by writers in the Book of Mormon, including Nephi,[1] Alma, son of Alma,[2] Amulek,[3] Nephi, son of Helaman,[4] and Mormon.[5]

Zenock is reported to have written and prophesied about the divinity, death, and atonement of the coming Messiah. One writer reports that Zenock was stoned to death for preaching that the Messiah would be the "Son of God".[6]

Outside of the Book of Mormon, there is no evidence that Zenock existed.
