1 Nephi 1:4

"For it came to pass in the commencement of the first year of the reign of Zedekiah, king of Judah, (my father, Lehi, having dwelt at Jerusalem in all his days); and in that same year there came many prophets, prophesying unto the people that they must repent, or the great city Jerusalem must be destroyed."

The reign of Zedekiah was also the same time Jeremiah went and preached to the people of Jerusalem. It was preached by the prophets that Jerusalem would be destroyed and Babylon would over run the people.

Jerusalem was the home country of Lehi and his family and also the birth-place of Jesus Christ the Savior. Jerusalem was the gathering place of the descendants of Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon. Lehi and his family came from the lineage of Ephraim. (which connects to Ezekiel 37: 16,19)

The prophets sent to Jerusalem spoke the word of the Lord about keeping the commandments, which were given by the prophets. The Lord sent out messengers(prophets) because he had compassion for His people and gave them every chance to repent. He sent them at every opportunity, opening the door always. Many prophets were sent, with little success.

Jerusalem was promised to be destroyed and the people there in would be carried away into bondage. This promise came to pass. Like every promise or revelation from the Lord will or have all ready come to pass.
