2 Nephi 31
I think I finally understand how so many good people of the children if Israel could miss and continue to miss that Jesus is their promised Messiah. They have culturally become list in the weeds. They have spent generations searching the details of The prophecies and commandments but they spend virtually all their energy focused on the minutia so that while they expose small gems and cling to those they miss or misidentify larger patterns that point obviously toward Christ. That is why they swallow a camel but strain at a gnat.
Nephi was told to say no more lest he further condemn those who wouldn’t hearken to what he was saying so plainly. Those who would hearken could receive more by studying the words of others that were more circumspect.
