-how ominous
was this repeated and specific warning to Nephi. Did he have a vision to see that generations
of his posterity would imitate his wayward brothers rather than following his
own example?
“they shall be a
scourge unto thy seed, to stir them up in… remembrance.”
-God is
so great! He is able to use a bad
situation (in this case, wicked people) as a tool toward His objectives. He can turn bad behaviors, conditions and
circumstances into goodness. Evil and
wickedness have no sustainability or permanence. They will grow until they utterly
destroy/consume themselves, leaving a fertile ground for truth.
End of revelation comprising verses 19 - 24:
-notice
that nowhere in this revelation was Nephi told to step beyond the boundary of
his
stewardship (or provided information
additional to what Lehi was given). Lehi
was the
patriarch to receive revelation
for the family.
