3 Nephi 9 – 10I wonder if Jacob had already been killed by a secret combination in the few years that his people had separated themselves from the Nephites. Of course I have no evidence either way, but that is the way of a secret combination – even being on the inside at the head…

3 Nephi 8If the storms and destruction took place as the Savior hung on the cross, and then the darkness came over the land during the hours between His death and resurrection then the storms should have been hitting as morning was approaching and the darkness began essentially as it was supposed to be getting…

3 Nephi 7I think it is very telling that even an essentially wicked people were more angry at those who destroyed the government than at any other group so that those who destroyed the government were forced to flee from the united anger of otherwise divided tribes of relatively wicked people. I would love to…

3 Nephi 6I didn’t realize that withing 3 years of defeating the robbers the people were already displaying the telltale signs of wickedness. Notice that this renewed secret combination was not a group of idealists who slowly (or even quickly) turned to justifying their wickedness for the sake of their cause – they formed with…

3 Nephi 5I wonder if our nation will undergo the violent swings from righteousness to wickedness that the Nephites experienced. At the sign of Christs birth the more part of them believed in the signs notwithstanding the lies sent forth by Satan – then they became almost wholly wicked, barely staving off destruction within 15…

3 Nephi 4I’m absolutely confident that the particulars of the Nephite retrenchment against the Gadiantons will not be replayed – but a complete siege mentality among those opposing the lawlessness they face is probably inevitable before they win their temporary reprieve from the gross wickedness of secret combination’s.

3 Nephi 3Speaking of the parallel between the Mexican drug cartels and the Gadiantons – the cartels would have to unite (at least functionally) before the parallel would be complete. Nevertheless, the parallels are there and the prospect is both terrifying and possible.

3 Nephi 2It’s funny that the Nephites would reckon their time based on the sign of the Savior’s birth when they refuse to recognize the signs that they have seen (including the meaning of that one). If the drug cartels do become so strong that we are openly at war with them we may well…

3 Nephi 1I wonder if there will be a specific prophecy – where the timing of the prophecy is within memory – where the unbelievers will argue that it has not been fulfilled and gloat over those who believe the words of the prophets. Certainly there will be times when those who do not believe…

3 Nephi 29 – 30I think that chapter 30 is the only chapter written specifically to the Gentiles. And what is chapter 30 – a direct invitation to repent and come unto Christ and be numbered among the house of Israel. It is interesting to think that in 3 Nephi 28 we have read the…
