3 Nephi 22 – 23Zion shall be far from oppression and from terror – I get the impression that this applies to Zion while the rest of the world is consumed by oppression and fear. Samuel the Lamanite, like all people, was to be judged out of the books that were written. He had been…

3 Nephi 21The sign given hear refers to the beginning of the gathering of the house of Israel and that gathering has begun. I am going to keep my eye out for a prophesy that more specifically indicates the timing of the gathering of the lost tribes – as far as I know that has…

3 Nephi 20The first day the Savior had the disciples gather bread and wine for the sacrament. The second day he provided it himself miraculously. Perhaps the first day he wanted to emphasize that earthly bread and water were perfectly sufficient to the purpose.

3 Nephi 19If the lost tribes were on the other side of the world and the visit by the Savior was only a few hours during the day it is entirely possible that He could appear to the Nephites and then minister to the lost tribes 12 hours later and go back and forth for…

3 Nephi 18This sacrament may well have been nearly a meal – the people had been with the Savior for hours and it may well be that when they went to get bread and wine they really did get enough for the people to eat and be filled physically. The church that the Savior organized…

3 Nephi 15 – 16The record of the lost tribes will probably include the record of the Savior visiting them after his resurrection – I wonder if He spoke to them about His visit to the Nephites. (I think I can remove “probably” from the last sentence.) The parallel in the Book of Mormon to…

3 Nephi 13 – 14Notice the hypocrites can do things which are good, but those things are no good to them because they do those things in order to be seen of men. The coming of the Kingdom of God was absolutely guaranteed once the Savior wrought the Atonement. From that point on the only…

3 Nephi 12I never realized before that the last part of chapter 11 was directed at the 12 disciples rather than the people generally. The Savior was teaching them how to baptize and cautioning them against expanding on the doctrine or having contention over points of doctrine. I wonder if the contention that had “hitherto…

3 Nephi 11I wonder if this tells us anything about the meetings at Adam-ondi-Ahman. We know that people will be invited to those meetings as the faithful among the Nephites had probably been instructed (either before or after the destruction) to gather at Bountiful. When people are invited to a meeting at Adam-ondi-Ahman (of which…
