Post by Joseph – In the last post, we summarized Zenos’ Allegory up to our place in the history of the House of Israel. Which is not quite yet to the middle if I’ve got this right. By the time you study the allegory, it may be the future for me and the past for…

Grace of the Holy Messiah
Post of Jacob – We appreciate the kind words from so many about my dear brother Nephi. I have been commanded to continue Nephi’s blog, and in pondering the words of my father Lehi to me just prior to Lehi’s death, I feel it necessary to continue this blog to fulfill Nephi’s command and to…
A Bible! A Bible! We have got a Bible.
Post by Nephi – As I and my various family members and distant friends contribute to this blog, I stand in amazement at the Lord’s mindfulness of His children in different parts of the world. Here we are in a new world, a world we call the promised land. We left the prophet Jeremiah in…
Ye shall be drunken but not with wine.
Post by Jacob – I know Nephi has shared a great deal of Isaiah’s writings in his blogs and it seems that the words of Isaiah repeat themselves as they foretell gatherings, apostasies, rebellions, scatterings, destructions, restorations and gatherings, both in ancient times and future times. As Nephi is about to share with you more of Isaiah’s writings,…
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….
The Plates of Brass

Constrained by the Spirit to Slay Laban
Post by Nephi – After admonishing my brothers with several illustrations of the Lord’s power, they reluctantly and unhappily followed me back to the outer walls of Jerusalem. It was night time after my brothers had hidden themselves, when I made my way back into the city towards Laban’s house. I was being led by…
My heart being softened.
Post by Nephi – We have traveled for many days in the wilderness, all of us, including our animals are weary. Yet we have been preserved. My brothers continue to murmur against my father. But he does not give up. He spoke to them with power, he was filled with the spirit. He spoke so…
Our family leaves Jerusalem
Post by Nephi – I mentioned earlier that my father Lehi was warned in a dream to take his family and flee into the wilderness. I need to mention again that my father is a man of great faith and his obedience to God is top priority with him, regardless of cost. And as you…
My Father’s Visions & Dreams
Post by Lehi – My father Lehi has seen and written countless things which he saw in visions and in dreams; and he has written down lots of the things that he prophesied and spoke to us his children, but I am not going to include all those things in my blog here. I will…
