This is an interesting article, but we need to remember that this record was not written for the Nephites and the Lamanites of Nephi's day and age to read. It was written for us. Therefore, this information should be of great importance to us and will help us to understand how we may recognize a good ruler as well as a true prophet in our day, as the record legitimizes both of the roles Nephi played within his culture.
