Post by Nephi –
The angel finally finished showing me absolutely remarkable things. Saying I was grieved because of the things that I had been shown, doesn’t fairly portray my feelings after having seen the complete destruction of my people. I knew what I had seen must unavoidably come to pass because of their wickedness. I was overcome with my afflictions. I can’t imagine my suffering being greater.
I returned to the tent of my father only to find my brothers arguing over what my father had spoken to them. He did indeed speak great things which I’ll admit are very hard to understand. In fact you can’t understand if you don’t seek help from the Lord.
I was already weighed down and the hardness of my brothers’ hearts just added more grief. With such hard hearts they would never look to the Lord like they should. No wonder they were arguing over my fathers teachings.
In my father’s dream, he saw my two brothers reject the fruit of the tree. As the angel showed me what lies ahead for our family, my heart broke. Now seeing my brothers demonstrating the kind of pride and stubbornness that lies at the heart of the rejection of Christ, saddened me even more.
