Samuel the Lamanite | Flossing

SAMUEL THE LAMANITE: Flossing on the Wall

Samuel the Lamanite stood on a city wall to deliver one of the boldest messages in the Book of Mormon. This Samuel the Lamanite | Flossing shirt imagines that unforgettable scene with a modern, ridiculous twist: what if the prophet on the wall was not only preaching but flossing? It is Book of Mormon humor for people who know the story and appreciate a faithful inside joke.

Samuel came to Zarahemla to call the Nephites to repentance. They rejected him and cast him out, but the Lord told him to return. When he could not enter the city, he climbed upon its wall and prophesied. He warned of destruction, testified of the coming of Jesus Christ, and foretold signs that would accompany the Savior’s birth and death. Angry listeners threw stones and shot arrows at him, but the record says they could not hit him.

The humor of “flossing” does not diminish Samuel’s courage. It highlights how unforgettable his position was: one man, literally above the crowd, speaking truth to people who did not want to hear it. Samuel was not protected because he was trying to look impressive. He was protected while he fulfilled the mission God had given him.

There are moments when faithful disciples may feel like they are standing on a wall too—visible, misunderstood, and tempted to stay quiet. Samuel reminds us that the Lord can give courage to testify, warn with love, and remain steady when truth is unpopular. We may not be asked to preach from city walls, but we can stand for Christ in our classrooms, workplaces, homes, and friendships.

Samuel’s prophecy was eventually fulfilled, reminding us that God keeps His word even when people doubt, delay, or mock. Truth remains true from the wall to the present day.

Wear this hilarious LDS t-shirt and remember the brave prophet behind the joke. Be kind, be courageous, and when life gets intense, keep your footing. Samuel stayed on the wall—and the message still reaches us today.
