pam Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 Reference Search: 2 Nephi 5:2525 And the Lord God said unto me: They shall be a scourge unto thy seed, to stir them up in remembrance of me; and inasmuch as they will not remember me, and hearken unto my words, they shall scourge them even unto destruction. Quote for DiscussionRemembrance of Me So it was a blessing to the Nephites after all to have the Lamanites on their doorstep to stir them up to remembrance….No matter how wicked and ferocious and depraved the Lamanites might be (and they were that!), no matter by how much they outnumbered the Nephites,…they were not the Nephite problem. They were merely kept there to remind the Nephites of their real problem, which was to walk uprightly before the Lord.Hugh Nibley, Since Cumorah, p. 376 Quote
