1 Nephi 13:31-43
I struggled a little bit with this section, I read the Institute manual section and I understand what it talks about but the wording in the actual scriptures is a little bit much for me right now. My brain power is dwindling, especially at this hour of the night, but I'll try, so this post might be a little bit shorter.
13:31-34 - It's a little bit difficult for me to understand who the Lord will be merciful to and why, here he says that the Lord will be merciful to both the gentiles and the house of Israel, but he will punish them as well. I'm going to have to read more about this later.
13:35-43 - The plain and precious truths that have been lost that we discussed yesterday will be restored in the last days, after the American Revolution, and they will be restored by the book that is published from the record of Nephi's seed. That must be kind of fulfilling for Nephi, to have this terrible tragedy take away some of the most important part of the Lord's gospel, and then to have it be restored hundreds of years later by the record that you are so valiant in keeping.
I just realized that Nephi is the hardest Book of Mormon writer for me to understand or relate to. His writing style is a little bit difficult for me to process. I will have to think about this more and come back to it later.
