The Brother of Jared was highly favored of the Lord because of his exceeding great faith. The Book of Mormon tells how he was instructed to build 8 barges to “...go forth across this raging deep in darkness.” So the people could have light, he “...did molten out of a rock sixteen small stones.” He asked the Lord to light them. The Lord touched the stones one by one with his finger. Because of his perfect faith “...the veil was taken from off the eyes of the Bother of Jared, and he saw the finger of the Lord.”
