| − | + | I find it interesting to look at the symbolism in this chapter. Lehonti and his army were camped on a mount. Amalickiah tries unsucessfully to bring him off the mount. It is only after Lehonti uses his free agency and chooses to go down off the mount that he is in danger. Mountains are often symbolic of temples. Temples are somewhere safe from Satan and the outside world. Satan can not reach us in our temples it is only after we willfully choose to go outside of our temples and sin can we be in satans grasp. | |
