2nd Nephi : 5
PoeticIntensity
First thing which caught my attention this time around is verse 6.
I relate that verse to the way the Lord works. Basically, God lets everyone know about his plan, and those who believe Him will follow him.
This makes me wonder if Nephi, through some sort of parable, told Laman and Lemuel what he was planning to do as well, but they didn'...

2nd Nephi : 4 - Nephi's Psalm
PoeticIntensity
First, a question.
In verse 15, Nephi states that he delights in the scriptures, and that he writes them according to the spirit. Well... That leads me to question whether or not he realized he was a prophet or not. Very interesting, and possibly stupid, question (maybe he already knew about D&C 68:4).
Now, the chunk of ...

2nd Nephi : 4 - Part 1
PoeticIntensity
One thing which caught my eye this time, was the phrase, "I know that if ye are brought up in the way ye should go ye will not depart from it."
I had to stop and read the sentence 4 or 5 times, just to make sure I wasn't seeing things.
The footnotes on that sentence seem to confirm the vague meaning I'm deriving from it as well.

Something in verse 13 struck me as interesting, even though it probably could be considered common knowledge among the LDS population.

Verse 2 contains an interesting phrase: Consecrate thine afflictions for thy gain. This brings to mind quite a few cross-references, but can you imagine how much...

Only one verse out of this chapter gave me any inspiration at all...
