Questions

Verse 46

  • Why does Nephi mix prophesied certainties with statements of capability?

Verse 47

  • In the Old Testament, anguish is what sinners feel. After Christ comes, sorrow is what his disciples feel for the sins of the world. Is Nephi feeling both of these emotions?

Verse 48

  • What does Nephi mean when he says the power of God is consuming his flesh? Is he echoing Old Testament passages that talk about sacrifices where divine fire consumes the flesh of the animal?

Verse 49

  • Why is the word "labor"--which is found here and throughout the restoration scriptures--absent from the Bible?

Verse 50

  • Why doesn't Nephi say that whatever the Lord commands will "happen"?
  • Who or what is performing the action when Nephi says "it would be done"?
