Book of Mormon Alma 30:13
"Why do ye look for a Christ? For no man can know of anything which is to come"
Book of Mormon Jacob 7:7
"for no man knoweth of such things; for he cannot tell of things to come"

Shared words: For no man

The two anti-Christs' core epistemic claim - denial of a future Christ grounded on the unknowability of the future - in nearly the same words at least three and a half centuries apart (Korihor / Sherem: Sherem falls before Enos 1:25's 179th year from Lehi; Korihor stands in the seventeenth year of the judges, Alma 30:6, which is year ~526 by Mosiah 29:46's five-hundred-nine-year anchor). Shared skeleton — 30:13 'no man can know of anything which is to come', 7:7 'no man knoweth of such things; for he cannot tell of things to come' — close but not verbatim. Korihor extends the logic to seen/unseen at 30:15. NOT an equation of the figures - see the do-not-flatten guard on the page.
