2 Nephi 23 – 24Those who do not know the Good Shepherd will be as sheep that have not shepherd, frightened, without direction, and alone in the day of His wrath and judgment.The prophecy of the downfall of “he who shook the nations” may be about a specific individual, but I believe it applies in…

2 Nephi 21 – 22he will judge with righteousness rather than by the sight of his eyes – just as he chose David not after what men would see compared to his brothers. It seems that when the tribes unite together they shall also have the aid of the Philistines – in other words some…

2 Nephi 19 – 20I had always thought that the phrase “the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the Lord of Hosts.” was redundant, that the Lord was “him that smiteth them.” I realize now that what it means is they would not choose. They would not choose the…

2 Nephi 17 – 18I love how the Lord gives details that help us see clearly. He could have told Ahaz to fear not for the plans of Syria, Ephriam, and the son of Remaliah shall not stand without mentioning who they were planning to install as king. A gin is a trap for catching…

2 Nephi 15 – 16In this story of the vineyard Israel is not the vine, they are the land. The vine (the choisest vine) is the gospel and priesthood , it is the covenant. Although the fruits of the vine are the doings of the people. This says that the men of Judah are the…

2 Nephi 13 – 14When everything seems to be going wrong the Lord comforts the righteous by saying that they shall eat the fruit of their doings. (Just like the wicked shall have the reward of their hands come upon them.)

2 Nephi 11 – 12I wonder why Nephi spent so much time writing Isaiah if Jacob said many more things unto the people. Maybe it’s just me wishing to hear more from Jacob because I already have a copy of Isaiah while the Book or Mormon from the plates of Nephi is my only source…

2 Nephi 10I wonder if the creation of the state of Israel by the nations of the Gentiles is a fulfillment of the prophecy concerning kings being nursing fathers and queens being nursing mothers to the Jews in carrying them to the lands of their inheritance. This land shall be a land of liberty unto…

2 Nephi 9Jacob mentions secret combinations here before any such thing existed among the Nephites. It is interesting to note that Jacob had never lived in Jerusalem where such things may well have been. He must have learned about them from Nephi or the scriptures, either way it is interesting that he should mention them…

2 Nephi 7 – 8I love that reminder when we complain to the Lord in our sins “To whom has I sold you . . . behold ye have sold yourselves.”
