Samuel the Lamanite
Lamanite prophet to the Nephites at Zarahemla, ~6 BC
A Lamanite prophet sent to preach repentance to the apostate Nephites of Zarahemla. Cast out, he returned at the Lord's command and prophesied from atop the city wall — foretelling the signs of Christ's birth and death — while stones and arrows could not touch him. Some believed and were baptized; he cast himself down and fled, never seen among the Nephites again.
On their voice
Urgent, unflinching prophetic warning from a despised outsider; the deliberate reversal of a righteous Lamanite rebuking a fallen Nephite people. Plain rebuke of riches and sin, never cruel.
