Nephi's Vision of Europeans in America

...

I saw a man among the Gentiles (Christopher Columbus). He was separated from my brothers’ descendants in the promised land by the great ocean. I saw the Spirit of God come upon him and inspire him to sail across the great ocean. Other Gentiles, who had been in bondage (Puritans, Pilgrims, etc.), also sailed across the ocean to the promised land inhabited by my brothers’ people.
