Question from Grandpa

Grandpa wanted me to post this question to the blog.
Was there ever a city named "Jerusalem" on this continent?
And if so, where was it? Sounds like a trick question to me.

Yes. When Aaron (son of Mosiah) seperated himself from Ammon he went to the Lamanite city called Jerusalem. (Alma 21: 1-2)

We went and had a great visit with Grandpa tonight. He gave me a 98% on his last question - I hope I get 100% this time! Hee Hee And tell Grandpa I did find where it reads that Alma served 9 years!

OK... I told dad I would look this question up and from my research (Kim) the only thing Anita left out is that the city was located joining the borders of Mormon. Interesting note is that the people in the city (BofM Jerusalem) were "Hardened" to the point in 3rd Nephi Christ tells the people "waters have I caused to come up in the stead thereof, to hide their wickedness and adominations from before my face, that the blood of the prophets and the saints shall not come up any more unto me against them."

I'm suprised we don't currently have city in the USA or at least Utah by the name of Jerusalem given - Moroni, Nephi, Lehi, Manti, Bountiful, Jordan River, to name but a few.

Next question...
