Upon the other plates should be engraven an account of the reign of the
kings, and the wars and contentions of my people; wherefore these plates are
for the more part of the ministry; and the aother
plates are for the more part of the reign of the kings and the wars and
contentions of my people.
“upon the
other plates”
-two
things worth consideration come up with the continuation of this phrase.
1. why was a secular or historical history even
kept? Do we currently possess this? No!
Either
we will eventually have it, which we should be working toward, or its
purpose was fulfilled in
the Book of Mormon times already past.
2.
what a pain for Nephi to keep two sets of records, but he did it as he was
directed! I
could see a spiritual history being kept, but
is the effort to keep a historical record
necessary?
