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…

2 Nephi 28 – 30 The warnings here at the end of 2 Nephi correlate perfectly with the warnings by Moroni against those churches in the modern age which would claim that the work of God was finished and He was no longer active among mankind. I don’t put any stock in this idea but…

2 Nephi 27 Joseph Smith eventually saw in vision all the things that were written in the sealed portion of the golden plates.

2 Nephi 25 I’m a bit confused about the sequence here. Nephi days that the marvelous work will take place after the Jews have come to believe in Christ. Then he says that they will come to believe “these things” (meaning the things he is writing) and then the Lord shall begin to restore them…

2 Nephi 18 – 24 I wonder what scriptures the Jews have that make it so hard to accept Jesus as their sought-after Messiah. Perhaps the problem is partly in how He is presented by many Christians (or how Jews are often treated by many who progress to follow Him).

2 Nephi 9 – 10 The words of men like Nephi and Jacob make plain the words of Isaiah. On the other hand, the new must have records of men who didn’t believe in Christ who offered different interpretations of the words of Isaiah so that, reading their interpretations the words of Isaiah wouldn’t point…

2 Nephi 6 I realize that part of the reason that the scriptures so obviously point to Christ and that the words if Isaiah point so clearly to the last days for me is that I have the words of prophets in the Book of Mormon that highlight and explain those things. People without that…

2 Nephi 3–5 I wonder if the people who separated from Laman and Lemuel called themselves the people of Nephi because Lehi had divided his counsel and blessings between those who would follow the example of Nephi and those who wouldn’t. Nephi made the second set of plates after separating from Laman and Lemuel. The…

2 Nephi 1–2 I’ll bet Zoram’s friendship with Nephi was forged as they walked toward the tasty too get the plates. Spam thought his master, Laban was favouring him. He hadn’t known Laban all that well but He liked the way they talked and once Nephi revealed himself and promised him freedom the Spirit whispered…
