Vanhin....One of the themes you will encounter throughout the Book of Mormon, is the promises of the Lord concerning the inhabitants of the Americas. In the narrative you are reading now, they have not yet made it to America, but the prophecies concerning the seed of Lehi are fulfilled in America. Throughout the BoM we learn that those who possess the land will be blessed greatly if they are righteous and worship God, but will be cursed with destruction if they become wicked. Even before the time of the Nephites, the Jaredites were aware of this promise. And thus the Lord did pour out his blessings upon this land, which was choice above all other lands; and he commanded that whoso should possess the land should possess it unto the Lord, or they should be destroyed when they were ripened in iniquity; for upon such, saith the Lord: I will pour out the fulness of my wrath. (Ether 9:20) This began long long ago. I always think of Deu: 28....for me it begins there and continues thruout G-ds word, which is all His word.....O.T. New T. and b0m.......... we sure are a slow to learn people, are we not?

you learn well, grasshopper

LOVE THIS BOARD!!!! Just love it!

Kishkuman.... in reference to your referencing all the languages being confounded.....what about the notion that what was scrambled in our ability to communicate was the decoder so to speak. In other words, it was OUR hearing that was scrambled.....in time we will maybe all HEAR hebrew when we speak to each other. But keep in mind, I'm of the same belief about Hebrew language is the language of Creation.......... mariam

I would liken this to the "soul Mate"...I think same thing but different words to describe it.

First is a territory, second is a book
