Summary

In Jacob chapter seven, Jacob encounters Sherem, an Antichrist who seeks to overthrow the doctrine of Christ. Sherem uses flattery and power of speech to lead people away from the faith. However, Jacob stands firm in his faith, having received revelations, seen angels, heard the voice of the Lord, and been filled with the Spirit. Jacob confronts Sherem's denial of Christ and challenges his understanding of the scriptures. Jacob emphasizes that all the prophets have testified of Christ and that without the atonement, all mankind would be lost. The chapter ends with Sherem asking for a sign.
