Coincidentally, I had a similar exeprience recently, in which I was seated on an airplane next to an gentleman whose reading material proclaimed him to be an Egyptologist. I had the Book of Mormon for my in-flight reading, but at some point my glance wandered to the open page of my seat-mate's book, where what I saw frankly astounded me. It began when the name Nefer-kheperu-her-sekheper caught my eye. My pulse began to pound: this was an undeniable parallel to the name Nephi! Seizing the book with a murmured apology, I rapidly turned the pages, finding additional parallels on nearly every page! To give just one example, consider the following:The Majesty of the God Ra, whom men call Ra-Horakhti also, was in Nubia with his army, a great and innumerable multitude of soldiers, footmen and horsemen, archers and chariots.What greater refutation could there be of tired anti-Mormon nitpicking about chariots and horses in the Book of Mormon? They are common motifs in ancient Egyptian religious texts!In my excitement, I turned to my seat-mate, and exclaimed, pointing to the Book of Mormon, "This text is reformed Egyptian!"His reaction, sadly, will surprise on one familiar with the exeprience of the Anton transcript and the prophecies of Isaiah, and the seed that fell on his hard heart found it to be stony ground. Perhaps prompted by Satan, he quickly made arrangements to move to a new seat. It was only when President Paternoster called my attention to the Ensign article that I understood the seeming coincidence was for my benefit, and the benefit of others to whom I will now bear frequent and repeated testimony of this profound faith-promoting exeprience.
