Jarom 1:11

"Wherefore, the prophets, and the priests, and the teachers, did labor diligently, exhorting with all long-suffering the people to diligence; teaching the law of Moses, and the intent for which it was given; persuading them to look forward unto the Messiah, and believe in him to come as though he already was. And after this manner did they teach them."

I love the diligence these teachers had. I love that although these people were teaching of Christ before Christ was born, they taught as though he already was. Christ's mission and atonement applies to all time. He existed before he was born, and he still exists and will come again.
