2nd Nephi : 18
PoeticIntensity
One part of this chapter possibly made sense to me, although I could be totally wrong.
Okay, two parts did.
The first is verses 8 - 13. It seems to me that these verses are talking about the kingdom of Judah. Though they may assemble themselves and try, they will ultimately fail unless they begin to fear God. (again, could b...

Reading these two chapters didn't leave me with much spiritual insight, as I didn't understand much of it.
That said, I did, however, really feel the Spirit while reading them. I yearned to know what the words meant. I wanted to study them more.... Oddly enough, I find myself wanting to study them more, yet kind of scared ...

2nd Nephi : 14 & 15

To be honest, about 80% of these two chapters made no sense to me at all. I didn't put forth my best effort to understand, but I really did concentrate.
A couple of verses made a lot of sense to me due to the state of the world we live in.
Chapter 15 verses 20-23. You know it's a bad day when people in general accept wickedness as r...

2nd Nephi : 13

There are portions of this chapter where I think it is referring to our day, or the latter-days. I'm not sure, though.
Man, to understand this Isaiah stuff, I've really gotta be in a super-spiritual, "yearning after truth", mood or it just doesn't make much sense.
The latter verses I find interesting simply because they are so f...

This chapter is a great pre-cursor to the chapters to follow. Nephi explains why he like the words of Isaiah, as well as the fact that he likes to bring people to Christ.
Interesting in verse 3, Nephi says he'll send the words of Jacob to his children for the purpose of reinforcing his own words. The reason being b...

I believe the purpose of this chapter is the same as chapter 6: To give purpose behind the Book of Mormon. The things Nephi is writing are things of God - things pertaining to the ministry of the people in those days.
I love verse 5. It reminds me of when Adam was commanded to build an alter and...
