2 Nephi 10 The Jews at Jerusalem during the time of Christ were “among those who are the more wicked part of the world” and yet the preeminent apostles in the history of the world, those who will judge all the others, are those who were there with the Savior. Clearly this was a place…

2 Nephi 9 The time must come when the people of Israel as a nation will be joined to the true church of God again. I’m sure that will be an occurrence that will be much talked about after the fact. The wise and the learned and the rich who shall not have the door…

2 Nephi 7 – 8 I love the confidence in the Lord displayed here. He will give his back to the smiters and his cheeks to them that pluck off the hair. He invites his enemies to stand against him knowing that he is safely encircled in the arms of his Heavenly Father regardless of…

2 Nephi 6 Nephi was obviously both the spiritual and temporal leader of his people during his lifetime. Jacob is teaching what Nephi would have him teach. I wonder if Jacob became the spiritual leader, independent of the next king, after Nephi died or if he was still expected to teach according to the desires…

2 Nephi 5 How long was it after the death of Lehi that the murmuring of Laman and Lemuel became serious enough to require Nephi to leave? From the sound of it I would guess that it was only a matter of weeks or possibly months. I’ll bet that. Epho did not simply take the…

2 Nephi 4 I think that Nephi was like me in that he felt great anger well up inside him when his enemies were seeking his destruction and the destruction of his people. It wells up inside me when I see gross injustices or excessive refusal by anyone to live up to anything near their…

2 Nephi 3 Joseph Smith was of the lineage of Joseph the son of Israel but I am confident that he got that lineage not from some native American pedigree but from his European ancestry. The seed of Joseph could potentially be found virtually anywhere on earth considering how long and how many times they…

2 Nephi 2 I wonder how young Jacob and Joseph were at this time. Lehi gives them much more counsel before his death than he does his older sons. I’m not sure if it is because they are young or simply because they are younger. Perhaps because they are not yet married unlike their older…

2 Nephi 1 Laman and Lemuel must not have appreciated being reminded by Lehi of their past sins. The fact that he recited their failings so much may have contributed to their choice not to hearken to his words when he was seeking their eternal safety.

2 Nephi 31 – 33As always, Nephi has one more thing to teach concerning Christ.
