Best Answer

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) generally regard a prophecy contained early in the Book of Mormon as a fortelling of Christopher Columbus. Nephi recorded a vision of the future of his father's descendants. After foreseeing the destruction of his own seed, Nephi beheld a gentile "separated from the seed of my brethren by the many waters," and saw that the Spirit of God "came down and wrought upon the man; and he went forth upon the many waters, even unto the seed of my brethren, who were in the Promised Land" (1 Nephi 13:12). This 'gentile' man is usually considered to be Christopher Columbus.
