Post by Jeremiah – I find comfort in your righteousness Nephi and in that of your father. I have been in prison for much time since my betrayal by the hands of priests. At times I feel as though I will give up. I tell myself that I will no longer mention the name of…
I beheld the Redeemer of the World
Post by Nephi – Let me now continue with the vision I was blessed to receive. Once again, the angel asked me to behold the condescension of God. As I looked I saw the Redeemer of the world. My father had spoken of Him. I also saw a prophet that was chosen to prepare the…
Details of my fathers dream
Post by Nephi – Before I continue with telling you what I was shown by the Spirit of the Lord, let me provide an overview of the world my father told us about which he witnessed in his dream. He certainly saw and said more than what I include here but I relate this so…
The rod of iron, which my father saw.
Post by Nephi – In my father’s vision, he described a rod of iron that extended along the bank of the river that eventually led to a fountain of living waters, which waters are a representation of the love of God as well as the tree of life, which also was a representation of the…
I beheld the Condescension of God
Post by Nephi – With my great desire to see and understand what my father had both seen and heard, I learned that with that great blessing came a grave responsibility. In this post I want to tell you a small portion of both the great vision I was blessed to receive, along with the…
Gaining a witness by power of the Holy Ghost.
Post by Nephi – After my father finished talking about the dream (which I will post more about later) a dream that I will refer to as the Tree of Life, he prophesied boldly concerning the coming of the Messiah. Because of my father’s faith in the Son of God he spoke all these things…
A vision of our future
My father has just finished sharing a most troubling vision with our family. In his vision he was shown future events both symbolically and literally. The things he described were somewhat difficult to understand. I learned early on that to really understand spiritual things, you have to seek the Spirit of the Lord to help….
Hearts so easily changed
Post by Lemuel – You probably read the post about our trying to kill Nephi. I am a little embarrassed about that. We thought we were rid of him. Somehow he got loose. He says it was due to the strength given him of the Lord in answer to fervent prayer. If anybody knows how…
Finally rid of Nephi
Post by Laman – This is Laman, I will be taking over the blog now. Nephi finally went too far. Our father commanded us to go back to Jerusalem to bring back some women and we were told to try Ishmael’s family first, not a totally bad choice. Ishmael was certainly more receptive to our…
Daughters and sons for my children to marry
Post by Lehi – After I finished sharing several prophesies about my posterity with my family, the Lord spoke to me once more. He told me that it was not right for me to take my family into the wilderness alone and that it would be wrong for my sons to be without wives. He…
