Ether 1 When Jared asks his brother to pay for their friends I think he is indicating a select group of close friends, not simply everyone they were friendly towards. These friends were a select group who they trusted and confided with – a spiritual and emotional support group. Jared may have asked about them…

Ether 15 While his opportunity for repentance had passed I have to conclude that Coriantumr was sincere in his desire to preserve his people based on the fact that he volunteered to give up the kingdom. I wonder if he even considered giving up his life to preserve the people. Of course both armies are…

Ether 14 This scene of destruction is incredible. I still find it ingesting that for ask his refusal to repent we never hear of Coriantumr becoming involved with secret combinations – which likely e explains why he was given the chance to repent in the first place.

Ether 13 One key element of the prophecies concerning Jerusalem is that it will be destroyed and rebuilt. I am convinced that all of the destruction that it has faced comes short of the destruction that it is prophesied to experience before it is rebuilt add a holy city. It will yet be destroyed. It’s…

Ether 9 The story of Akish and his friend killing Jared as he sat on his throne giving audience to his purple suggests that the people are already fairly wicked under Omer or else this happens write some time after Inner fled. (Likely both.) I also expect that Jared’s daughter, the wife of Akish, encouraged…

Ether 8 I wonder if it was called the land of Heth in the days of Omer and Jared or if it got that name later (in the days of Heth). I can imagine the daughter of Jared already having an idea that Akish wanted her fit a wife and seeing this up not only…

Ether 7 I didn’t take long for the prediction if the brother of Jared to come true that having as king would lead to captivity. The grandson of the first king took the son of the first king captive. It seems that there generations were more alac out than ours but in generational terms the…
