Book of Mormon Mosiah 16:6
"speaking of things to come as though they had already come"
Book of Mormon Jarom 1:11
"persuading them to look forward unto the Messiah, and believe in him to come as though he already was"

Shared words: to come as though

Shared device: the future Christ spoken of 'as though' already present/come. Jarom describes it as the prophets' standing teaching method; Mosiah 16:6 is Abinadi's own aside justifying his past tense ('if Christ had not come'). Supporting third occurrence: Mosiah 3:13 'even as though he had already come among them' (Benjamin's angel).
