Having conducted them through the Worship of the Shalems, Christ tells his disciples that they have heard his voice, and seen him. This reminds me of what I pointed out the other day about Nephi's take on the Isaiah chapters: that he knows them as things that are spoken and witnessed, and not just as words on a page. Nephi also tells us that he and Jacob both saw "the Redeemer," as Isaiah did, in the context of introducing the arc of Isaiah chapters in 2 Nephi. Of course, in the climax of the Worship of the Shalems, the participants entered the strait gate and narrow way and met the Lord in person.
