Samuel and the Sign

Samuel and the Sign is the eighth volume of the Animated Stories from the Book of Mormon video series. The scripture in this video is about Samuel the Lamanite and one of the things he prophesies: the sign of the birth of Jesus Christ.

Plot
Two boys named Nephi and Timothy, while working, witnesses how wicked Nephites badly treat Samuel the Lamanite and report this to Lachoneus. They witness Samuel returning on the city wall, and preaching that in five years, Jesus Christ will be born, and it will be shown by a night without darkness. The Nephites try to kill Samuel by stoning and shooting arrows at him, but he is protected by God. When they try to capture him, he jumps from the wall.

Five years later, now-grown Nephi and Timothy are waiting for the sign. Because it has been five years, the wicked Gidiannhi threatens him and every believer with death. He and his Gadianton Robbers welcome a weak and faithless man. Meanwhile, the believers sing ("Like the Sea") with faith. Meanwhile, the robbers plan to kill the believers ("Fugue") if the sign doesn't appear, which they do not believe.

That night, while the Nephites pray, Gidiannhi and his men start to slay them because it has gotten dark. However, before they can, a light shines, and the whole night is lit. Nephi praises the Lord that Jesus is born.

Eventually, he forgives the newest Gadianton robber... and while the believers give thanks, a new star is shining.

Trivia

 * This is the only Living Scripture to have characters sing any of the songs, or to have more than one.
 * In the actual scripture, which is in 3 Nephi Chapter 1, the sun goes down, but the sky never gets dark, but that means that Jesus would be born the next day. Hence, the light night was basically Christmas Eve.
 * Also, contradictory to the way aging works, in the beginning scene with Samuel, not even Nephi, the older brother, is a teenager; however, five years later, even Timothy, the younger one, has gone straight to adulthood.
 * One of the scenes is recycled from The King is Born, with only part of its dialogue being reused.
