Questions
- In this section, the Brother of Jared goes to a sacred mountain, prays to the Lord, and enters the Lord's presense after the Lord parts the veil with his hand. What does this teach us about how to enter the presence of the Lord? Where can modern LDS worshppers obtain a similar experience?
[edit]
Verses 6-8
- Why is the Brother of Jared's afraid after seeing the Lord's finger?
- The Brother of Jared seems shocked to learn that the Lord had a body like ours. As a prophet, why didn't he know that before?

Exegesis
[edit]
Verse 9
- Relating the Brother of Jared's experience to Alma 32, we could say that he is experiencing the fruits of faith described in Alma 32:37. And when he sees the Lord, his faith could be described as becoming dormant (in the sense of Alma 32:34) regarding the existense of God.
