Biblical Proof Number Five

The Everlasting Hills
Wherever they are, the "everlasting hills" are in Joseph’s Land. And that’s where his descendants went.

Try this…
If you look at a map of the world and find the longest chain of mountains on it, according to Duane Crowther, you’ll discover the everlasting hills.

They are the mountains which come up out of the sea, way up in the north at the very western tip of Alaska.
The mountains rise out of the sea, they curve down through Alaska and Canada and the United States and Central America, and continue all the way down to the tip of South America, where they disappear back into the Sea.
--Doctrinal Dimensions, pp.55, 56

Those mountains truly seem to be "everlasting." They’re the longest mountain range on earth.

"…It’s clear," says Crowther, "that Jacob knew what would happen to the Book of Mormon colony when he predicted that some of Joseph’s branches - not all - but some of Joseph’s branches - would run over the wall; that his descendants would be greatly blessed and that those blessings would prevail above the blessings of all his brothers because they would extend to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills as they came to the Americas.

He prophesied that those blessings would be on the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
That’s Lehi, we believe, who came with his people and settled in the Americas." - Doctrinal Dimensions, p.56

I have found no better interpretation of Genesis 49.
