Questions
- Verse 7: In Isaiah the word “law” could also be translated “instruction.” Presumably the same is true of whatever Nephite word Jacob used in quoting Isaiah. What does that say about the law? What does it teach? What does it mean to say that the righteous have the law/instruction written in their hearts? Why do those who are righteous need not fear the reproach of others?
- Verse 6: Here it says that the Heavens shall vanish away and the Earth shall wax old like a garment in the last days. Why is this so? When we are resurrected, are we judged on Earth or in Heaven and if in Heaven, what is going to be the state of the Earth at that time?
- Verses 9-11: Who is calling “Awake” (v. 9)? Who is being addressed? Do vv. 10-11 explain the references in v. 9? Notice how scripture refers to the type of Israel leaving Egypt, entering into the Promised Land. How is that type relevant to Lehi’s family? To the Nephites in particular? To us?
- Verse 9: The verse asks "Art thou not he that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?" Who is Rahab and what is the "dragon" he refers to?
