See His continued statements in 3 Ne 23:9 where he speaks of Samuel the Lamanite by name. Referring to the OT Samuel would mean he was referring to two people, both of which pre-dated the people He's talking to by 1,000 years and more. It makes more sense that He's bracketing time until (metaphorically) yesterday. | |
