My appreciation for this aspect of the Book of Mosiah has grown tremendously in the past several years. I encourage anyone struggling with a testimony of the divinity of the Book of Mormon to read the Book of Mosiah all the way through a few times within a week and map out the various story lines, and then imagine dictating it in a single draft without any notes.
The (growing) list below is just a sample of dozens of examples of internal consistency found in the Book of Mosiah. A larger list of examples of internal consistency in the Book of Mormon can be found here.
- A book without a beginning.
- "Continual Peace"
- The Math of Mosiah
- The king is outside the city walls
- King Mosiah-2 as seer
- Limhi rejoices upon learning Zarahemla has not been destroyed
- Limhi's lamentation
- Abinadi and the east wind
- Limhi references the words of Abinadi
- Abinadi as Alma-1's doctrinal mentor
- An editorial promise about Alma's missionary work
- King Mosiah-2 worries about his son as king
