don't know that in my previous studies of The Book of Mormon I ever noticed how important the prophecies of Joseph really were. Nephi understood their value and wanted us to understand them. I believe that in part this is because he saw his own posterity and knew what was going to happen to them. Joseph's prophecies show that there will be needed blessings, the Restoration, to help.
It also seems to me that they would have been prompted to write these things because they are not all in the Bible whereas they were in the Brass plates. See verse 2.
