26. ZENOS A LOST PROPHET:
The Olive Tree references and possibly a missing prophet from the Old Testament times but preserved din the Brass Plates, may have some parallels in the BOOK OF HYMNS, OR THE PSALMS OF THANKGIVING. GASTER, pp 175-177 translates some verses, particularly viii, 4-36, which one might compare with Jacob 5:66-76, 7:26, in the Book of Mormon. Some attention needs to be given to this part of the Psalms.
