Post by Sam – We traveled in a south-southeast direction for about four days and arrived at a place we call Shazer where we set up our tents. It was nice to rest a bit. Our family, or should I say “my brothers” are pretty good with bows and arrows. Stopping there in Shazer gave…
Hard things against the wicked
Post by Nephi – Here is a question. How do you speak hard things to wicked people and expect them to enjoy it. I declared the truth to my brothers and being guilty, they took it pretty hard. They said it was so hard they couldn’t take it. The truth justifies the righteous but cuts…
Gentiles to join my father’s seed
Post by Nephi – Following a very exhausting discussion with my brothers concerning the things my father saw in his dream, I feel the desire to clarify a few things. In the future the Gentiles will be instrumental in bringing the house of Israel out of captivity, to a knowledge of our Savior. If they…
Filthy rivers and awful gulfs – oh brother.
Post by Lemuel – Our father and his visions are enough to make a guy crazy. Or should I say make two families crazy. Laman has been trying to explain to us what all this stuff our father said means. He got so confusing, there were times I wished Nephi was around, but he took…
Grief over my people and my brothers
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….
A vision of the Land of Promise
Post by Nephi – As my vision continued, the angel showed me the nations and kingdoms of the Gentiles and there were many. I saw that among them was the formation of a great church, which the angel described to me as being most abominable above all other churches which slays the saints of God….
From Chaldea
Post by Ezekiel – Nephi, As you know, I was deported to Babylon with Jehoiachin after the death of Jehoiakim, a few years before you and your family left Jerusalem. We now reside in Tel-Abib near the river Chebar. I understand that Zedekiah is king in Judah, but many of the exiles still believe Jehoiachin…
Four Multitudes of People
I will finish telling you the rest of what I was shown by the angel, but first permit me to reflect on something both my father and I saw, of which I have had some time to ponder. I have reflected on the four different multitudes. These four groups of people represent human kind’s varying…
Beholding my father’s posterity
Post by Nephi – The next scene the angel showed me, if described in detail would not only overwhelm me as the author but you as the reader. It was so sweeping, I dare only summarize. My father told us of a promised land which was to be our inheritance. I now saw this promised…
The Fall of the Great and Spacious Building
Post by Nephi – As my vision of the life of Christ continued, I was again told by the angel to look and I saw the Lamb of God and He was taken by the people and judged. This is also part of the condescension of God. Consider this ironic scene. The world, fallen man,…
