Zenos was a
prophet of
Israel in
Old Testament times whose prophecies of
Christ’s mission are found only in the
Book of Mormon.
Zenos prophesied of
Christ’s burial and three days of darkness (
1 Nephi 19: 10, 12). He predicted the gathering of
Israel (
1 Nephi 19: 16).
Jacob quoted Zenos’s
parable of the tame and the wild olive trees (
Jacob 5).
Jacob expounded Zenos’s allegory (
Jacob 6: 1-10); taught concerning
prayer and
worship (
Alma 33: 3-11); taught that
redemption comes through the
Son (
Alma 34: 7); was slain for his bold
testimony (
Helaman 8: 19); spoke of the restoration of the
Lamanites (
Helaman 15: 11); and testified of the destruction at
Christ’s death (
3 Nephi 10: 15-16).
