Text of the page (random words):
about korihor this chapter alone is such a witness that the bofm was written for us the teachings of korihor run rampant in our day i love studying this chapter but my fav part is verse 20 bc it tells us that of all the nephites who fell captive to korihor s teachings the people of ammon did not behold they were more wise than many of the nephites why were they more wise we learn previously that they were strict in obedience to the commandments and they firmly kept their covenants on sunday during a testimony a sister was talking about how as mothers we are given power as we keep our covenants kk who i didn t even think was listening whispered in my ear mom do you keep your covenants i responded yes and she said oh good it was so cute how grateful i am that i can say yes covenant keeping will protect us from being deceived posted by melissa at 4 15 pm no comments thursday november 30 2017 scripture journal entries from september december emily freeman an excellent lds author is my friend s adult institute teacher in lehi she is sending me the emailed notes from her class and i m loving them just had to share one really cool thing categories of the bom small plates establishment of lehi s colony mosiah setting up of government and freedom of religion alma war chapters and great missionary period helaman great wars fall of government tribes 3 nephi christ comes 4 nephi 200 years of peace mormon ether gross wickedness moroni final destruction our day comparable things small plates establishment of lehi s colony columbus came to america mosiah setting up of government and freedom of religion free government freedom of religion gospel restored alma war chapters and great missionary period missionary period before missionaries are called home people are seeking money power etc helaman great wars fall of government tribes events surrounding 2nd coming did you know that the book of mormon refers to christ specifically with his name not including pronouns every 1 7 versus i have decided to read the bofm again my goal is to read it 20 times before i m 30 so i have 3 years left and need to read it 6 more times today i listened to the following podcast and it gave me chills tears and excitement to read the bofm again 1 nephi 1 6 and it came to pass as he prayed unto the lord there came a pillar of fire and dwelt upon a rock before him and he saw and heard much ok i may be off here but i had a cool thought come to me as i read this interestingly many old testament prophets had experiences with fire and dramatic things to testify of god in our day why do we not have burning bushes or pillars of fire on a rock besides the fact that we are not a prophet i wonder if it is bc in our day of dramatics and loud commotion the thing that would be more of a contrast to us would be the feeling of peace in our hearts and mind to me the feeling of peace is like a fire within my heart as it warms my soul and brings me reassurance and conviction in a way that nothing else could maybe the lord knew that in the latter days the feeling of peace from the rock of our salvation would be our pillar of fire in the noisy world we live in 1 nephi 6 3 4 i desire the room that i may write of the things of god for the fulness of mine intent is that i may persuade men to come unto the god of abraham and the god of isaac and the god of jacob and be saved the following notes are from emily freeman we hear that phrase a lot when it is a common phrase we pass over it without thinking about it nephi is trying to tell us something about god what did each know about god the god of abraham absolute trust god provides god of covenant keeping god of promises the god of isaac mighty to save provides the ram in the thicket deliverance god of miracles the god of jacob karma sometimes jacob did things god s way and sometimes his own way o if he could have just stayed within god s plan he would have been ok o god did not give up on jacob he gave jacob as many chances as it took god of second chances and third chances and as many chances as we need so nephi s intent is to persuade men to come unto the god that is a covenant keeper a god of miracles and a second chances god nephi is testifying that god will meet you in your story whatever it is his capacity will be whatever you need in that place that is the theme of today s discussion god is who you need him to be 1 nephi 4 6and i was led by the spirit not knowing beforehand the things which i should do sometimes i feel like i get way too focused on checking off items on my daily to do list instead of being led by the spirit i need to be better at praying each morning for inspiration on how to spend my time that day as a mom there are a million things to do each day but am i neglecting the things which are most needful 1 nephi 10 17 i nephi was desirous also that i might see and hear and know of these things by the power of the holy ghost which is the gift of god unto all those who diligently seek him as well in times of old as in the time that he should manifest himself unto the children of men nephi wants to see hear and know by the power of the hg that what his father taught was true i wonder if this is why nephi had the same vision for himself it is exactly what he desired he wanted to see and hear what his father did not just know in his heart it was true his righteous desire was given to him i have often heard that we need to be more specific in our prayers and tell the lord our righteous desires ask and ye shall receive knock and it shall be opened unto you because of the many plain and precious things which have been taken out of the book which were plain unto the understanding of the children of men according to the plainness which is in the lamb of god because of these things which are taken away out of the gospel of the lamb an exceedingly great many do stumble yea insomuch that satan hath great power over them this morning as i learned about the ancient israelite tabernacle the clothing of the high priest the manora and the veil of the tabernacle i was blown away by all of the similarities to the temple today obviously the ordinances of ancient israel have been restored and appear differently now that christ has spilt his blood and offered himself as the perfect sacrifice but still i am shocked at how much the old testament practices are similar to what we do in the temple today but i shouldn t be shocked some of the plain and precious truths of the gospel and the temple are in the bible but unfortunately many are gone how thankful i am for a restoration for the bofm and for living prophets i love to find these gems in the bible that witness of the truths we hold so dear 1nephi 14 14 and it came to pass that i nephi beheld the power of the lamb of god that it descended upon the saints of the church of the lamb and upon the covenant people of the lord who were scattered upon all the face of the earth and they were armed with righteousness and with the power of god in great glory i love this verse so much it fills me with strength gratitude and desire after listening to women s conference i felt so much more strength within me i m so excited for the power and conviction to continue to flow through me this weekend during conference 1 nephi 11 20 and i looked and beheld the virgin again bearing a child in her arms 21 and the angel said unto me behold the lamb of god yea even the son of the eternal father knowest thou the meaning of the tree which thy father saw 22 and i answered him saying yea it is the love of god which sheddeth itself abroad in the hearts of the children of men wherefore it is the most desirable above all things i learned something so cool this morning from the podcast i ll link at the bottom when the angel told nephi that the child was the lamb of god nephi knew exactly what and who he was talking about and so would any good jew you see these jews knew that the unblemished lamb was used for sacrifices by the angel referring to the child as the lamb nephi would instantly know that this was what all of the sacrifices and lambs were pointing towards this moment where the love of god would shed itself abroad in the hearts of all men through the atonement and become the most desirable above all things 1 nephi 15 15 with a little addition by me and then at that day of general conference will they not rejoice and give praise unto their everlasting god their rock and their salvation yea at that day will they not receive the strength and nourishment from the true vine yea will they not come unto the true fold of god 2 nephi 3 6 for joseph truly testified saying a seer shall the lord my god raise up who shall be a choice seer unto the fruit of my loins over the last year i have really taken it upon myself to study and learn more about js this morning as i read this verse i realized how deeply i have come to believe that js was truly a choice seer i have come to love this humble courageous loyal and faithful man but it s not just his strengths that endear him to me it is bc of his human frailties and weaknesses that make him real to me the lord used this humble knowledge seeking believing boy to accomplish the greatest work of our dispensation the words from my 4th great grandma jane bring me even greater conviction in the year 1840 the children and i traveled to nauvoo and saw and heard the prophet js and i can testify that he truly was a prophet of god 35 yea i know that god will give liberally to him that asketh yea my god will give me if i ask not amiss therefore i will lift up my voice unto thee yea i will cry unto thee my god the rock of my righteousness behold my voice shall forever ascend up unto thee my rock and mine everlasting god amen nephi s psalm is so incredibly beautiful i find my own pleadings of feeling frustrated with the sins that so easily beset me much the same the above verse the last one in his psalm really stood out to me and was exactly what i needed today 2 ne 8 9 10 art thou not he that hath cut rahab and wounded the dragon who hath cut rahab and wounded the dragon what does this mean reynolds and sjodahl clarified that rahab represents egypt commentary on the book of mormon vol 1 p 290 and ezek 29 3 refers to pharaoh as the great dragon therefore we may paraphrase this passage as follows art thou not he the great jehovah who hath cut off egypt and wounded pharaoh art thou not he who hath dried the red sea the waters of the great deep that hath made the depths of the red sea a way for the ransomed children of israel to pass over this famous scriptural event is symbolic in many ways the egyptian armies were the most powerful military force on the face of the earth at the time that moses confronted them still the power of the lord was strong enough to destroy them and save his people this event will be repeated in the redemption of zion and jerusalem in that day the power of the lord will rest with the saints to such a degree that it shall be said among the wicked let us not go up to battle against zion for the inhabitants of zion are terrible wherefore we cannot stand dc 45 70 similarly jerusalem will be saved from the fiercest army ever assembled in the history of the world rev 9 16 and a careful review of the plagues listed in revelation shows a striking similarity to the plagues of egypt compare ex 7 9 to rev 8 9 therefore when we think of the triumph of the children of israel over the power of pharaoh we should see the latter day symbolism the power of the lord was wielded on behalf his people then and that same power will be wielded again in just as dramatic a fashion 53 and behold how great the covenants of the lord and how great his condescensions unto the children of men and because of his greatness and his grace and mercy he has promised unto us that our seed shall not utterly be destroyed according to the flesh but that he would preserve them and in future generations they shall become a righteous branch unto the house of israel the word condescension has really stood out to me lately in my studying i looked up the word in the dictionary aka google and it says voluntary assumption of equality with a person regarded as inferior i was so touched by all the stories i heard of people in las vegas waiting 7 plus hours in line to donate blood these people considered there life as equally as impt as a stranger such a beautiful thought but then i started thinking how christ is the ultimate blood donor he gave all of his blood to save each of us from death and hell his condescension was an act of grace humility and love bc he the greatest of us all considered our potential for eternal life as equally impt as his own 2 nephi 10 3 wherefore as i said unto you it must needs be expedient that christ for in the last night the angel spake unto me that this should be his name should come among the jews among those who are the more wicked part of the world and they shall crucify him i had no idea how significant this verse is this is the first time in history that a prophet recorded in scripture the title of christ the book of mormon alone provides over 100 names and titles for christ easton 60 61 however the name christ does not appear until jacob s sermon to the nephites in 2 nephi 10 3 jacob had seen the savior as a youth and on a later occasion reaffirmed his experience of receiving the ministering of angels 2 nephi 2 3 4 jacob 7 5 compare moroni 7 22 the language of this manifestation uses the future designation of the term christ for covenant israel i also found the following info to be very significant about the last four words in the verse and they shall crucify him such knowledge could only be had by revelation the fulfillment of the prophecy required not only that the jews reject and kill their messiah but also that he die by crucifixion the prophecy was the more remarkable because crucifixion was unknown to hebrew law the mosaic code prescribed the penalty of death in four forms stoning burning beheading and strangling mcconkie and millet doctrinal commentary on the book of mormon vol 1 p 266 2 nephi 25 13 wherefore my soul delighteth to prophesy concerning him for i have seen his day and my heart doth magnify his holy name i love nephi s words here about christ for i have seen his day and my heart doth magnify his holy name ️ ️ ️ 2 nephi 31 3 for my soul delighteth in plainness for after this manner doth the lord god work among the children of men for the lord god giveth light unto the understanding for he speaketh unto men according to their language unto their understanding wow i definitely know this to be true yesterday i was helping kk learn how to ride a bike without training wheels as i watched her struggling to keep her balance and falling off over and over again the spirit clearly and directly taught me and gave me light understanding and charity for something i am really struggling with right now i am so thankful that our heavenly father knows us so well that h...
