Zenock

According to the "Book of Mormon", Zenock was an old world prophet whose pre-Christian era writings were recorded upon the plates of brass. Zenock is quoted or paraphrased a number of times by writers in the "Book of Mormon", including Nephi, [ [http://scriptures.lds.org/en/1_ne/19/10,12,16#10 1 Nephi 19:10, 12, 16] .] Alma, son of Alma, [ [http://scriptures.lds.org/en/alma/33/15-17#15 Alma 33:15-17] .] Amulek, [ [http://scriptures.lds.org/en/alma/34/7#7 Alma 34:7] .] Nephi, son of Helaman, [ [http://scriptures.lds.org/en/hel/8/20#20 Helaman 8:20] .] and Mormon. [ [http://scriptures.lds.org/en/3_ne/10/16#16 3 Nephi 10:6] .]

Zenock is reported to have written and prophesied about the divinity, death, and atonement of the coming Messiah. In the Book of Alma (chapter 32 verse 17), Alma the Elder reports that Zenock was stoned to death for preaching that the Messiah would be the "Son of God". [ [http://scriptures.lds.org/en/alma/34/7#7 Alma 34:7] .]

Outside of the "Book of Mormon", there is no evidence that Zenock existed.
