JACOB, ENOS, JAROM, OMNI, WORDS OF MORMON (10/22-10/28)

JACOB, ENOS, JAROM, OMNI, WORDS OF MORMON

10/22:
Jacob 1: Nephi dies :-(, Jacob is a good missionary, After Nephi's death, pride comes in to the people of Nephi's heart.

Jacob 2: Jacob: "Everyones sinning and proud, and I am sad for you all." God is so powerful, and we are nothing
19 And after ye have obtained a hope in Christ ye shall obtain riches, if ye seek them; and ye will seek them for the intent to ado good—to clothe the naked, and to feed the hungry, and to liberate the captive, and administer relief to the sick and the afflicted.


10/27:
Jacob 3: REPENT!!
 6 And now, this commandment they observe to keep; wherefore, because of this observance, in keeping this commandment, the Lord God will not destroy them, but will be amerciful unto them; and one day they shall bbecome a blessed people.
shake yourselves that ye may bawake from the slumber of death; and loose yourselves from the pains of chell that ye may not become dangels to the devil, to be cast into that lake of fire and brimstone which is the second edeath.
Jacob 4: We gain knowledge through God's revelation
13 Behold, my brethren, he that prophesieth, let him prophesy to the understanding of men; for the aSpirit speaketh the btruth and lieth not. Wherefore, it speaketh of things as they really care, and of things as they really will be; wherefore, these things are manifested unto us dplainly, for the salvation of our souls. But behold, we are not witnesses alone in these things; for God also espake them unto prophets of old.

Jacob 5: Huge metaphor: the Lord will graft, prune, burn parts of us, but it is for us to become better

Jacob 6: Second coming - REPENT & learn of God
6 Yea, today, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts; for why will ye adie?

8 Behold, will ye reject these words? Will ye reject the words of the aprophets; and will ye reject all the words which have been spoken concerning Christ, after so many have spoken concerning him; and bdeny the good word of Christ, and the power of God, and the cgift of the Holy Ghost, and quench the Holy Spirit, and make a dmock of the great plan of redemption, which hath been laid for you?

Jacob 7:Testimony of Christ doesn't come from signs/proof, it comes from feelings -- Jacob passes plates to son Enos
12 And this is not all—it has been made manifest unto me, for I have heard and seen; and it also has been made manifest unto me by the apower of the Holy Ghost; wherefore, I know if there should be no atonement made all mankind must be blost.

 10/28
Enos: Enos (Jacob's son) has SO much faith. He first prays for forgiveness for himself and then prays for his people.
8 And he said unto me: aBecause of thy bfaith in Christ, whom thou hast never before heard nor seen. And many years pass away before he shall manifest himself in the flesh; wherefore, go to, thy faith hath made thee cwhole.
Jarom: (Enos's son) - what would it have been like to live before Christ's coming?
11 Wherefore, the prophets, and the priests, and the ateachers, did labor diligently, exhorting with all long-suffering the people to bdiligence; teaching the claw of Moses, and the intent for which it was given; persuading them to dlook forward unto the Messiah, and believe in him to come eas though he already was. And after this manner did they teach them.
Omni: (Jarom's son) and his son's keep short records - each a bit more wicked than the last
26 And now, my beloved brethren, I would that ye should acome unto Christ, who is the Holy One of Israel, and partake of his salvation, and the power of his redemption. Yea, come unto him, and boffer your whole souls as an coffering unto him, and continue in dfasting and praying, and endure to the end; and as the Lord liveth ye will be saved.

Words of Mormon: Mormon adds a "conclusion" and adds Nephi's plates.
And now, I do not know all things; but the Lord cknoweth all things which are to come; wherefore, he dworketh in me to do according to his ewill.

Alma

11/16 Alma 1: read in temple Alma 2: read in temple Alma 3: read in temple 11/17: Alma 4: Year 6 of judged: Peaceful, but sad for lost -- Year 7: baptisms -- Year 8: contention & pride -- Year 9: trying to calm contentions Alma 5: Alma the younger testifies and recounts his father's story - repent! - the holy ghost reveals much - stop being so prideful! 17 Or do ye a imagine to yourselves that ye can lie unto the Lord in that day, and b say —Lord, our works have been righteous works upon the face of the earth—and that he will save you? 18 Or otherwise, can ye imagine yourselves brought before the tribunal of God with your souls filled with guilt and remorse, having a remembrance of all your guilt, yea, a perfect a remembrance of all your wickedness, yea, a remembrance that ye have set at defiance the commandments of God? 19 I say unto you, can ye look up to God at that day with a pure heart and clean hands?

2 Nephi (9/28-10/22)

2 NEPHI 9/28: Chapter 1: 588-570 BC -- Lehi prophesizes of Columbus discovering America; those living in America will be alone forever until they stop believing (-> Columbus); Lehi begs his sons to keep the commandments "23 Awake, my sons; put on the armor of arighteousness. Shake off the bchains with which ye are bound, and come forth out of obscurity, and arise from the dust." Chapter 2: there's no purpose to anything unless there is opposition "25 Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy." 9/29: Chapter 3:  Joseph Smith is prophesized of "3 And out of weakness he shall be made strong" Chapter 4:  Lehi gives his last words & dies. I think this might be my new favorite chapter. From 17 forward, Nephi is finally relatable! Basically, he says, I'm flesh and thus a mess, but why should I use that as an excuse? I can turn to God and he will help me. I really needed this chapter tonight. 17 Neverthele
