Intro to 2 Nephi 14

[pam]

“In the preceding chapter we read of the bitter winter seasons of apostate darkness. Now we read of darkness and wickedness giving way to light and righteousness; we read of the glorious spring of restoration with its heaven-sent cleansing rains, followed in turn b the pleasant summer of millennial splendor. It is a day when Zion’s daughters have abandoned worldly fashions and have adorned themselves with robes of righteousness, while Jacob’s faithful sons have, in the language of Isaiah, put on their beautiful garments-the authority and power of the holy priesthood (see Isaiah; D&C 113:7-8).”
