The book of Helaman is considered an “annalistic” or annual writing because almost every year is mentioned starting in the 40th year of the reign of the judges and ending in the 90th year. A lot can happen in 50 years, and there is a lot to learn from Helaman 1–6. It is filled with both triumphs and tragedies—political intrigue, bands of robbers, rejection of the prophets, and pride and disbelief throughout the land. So “remember, remember” this account of the Nephites when you look back on the world 50 years ago or look forward to what the world will someday look like.
