Questions

  • In verse 14 Ether tells us that the Lord chastened the Brother of Jared for 3 hours "because he remembered not to call upon the name of the Lord." This occurs just 14 verses after we read of the great blessings the Lord gave the Brother of Jared for diligently calling on the Lord (see chapter 1:43). What are we to make of the contrast between these two events so closely juxtaposed in Ether's account?
  • When we are told that the Brother of Jared hadn't been calling upon the name of the Lord, does this indicate that he had stopped praying altogether, or is there another way to interpret the scriptural phrase, "call upon the name of the Lord?"
