== Thought questions ==
+
===Verse 6===
+
* Having asked Nephi what he wants and what he believes, the Spirit then praises God before proceeding with the revelation. Why?
+
* Why does the Spirit's address to Nephi, a praise of God, begin with hosanna?
+
* Does the fact that the second clause begins with "for," meaning "because," help us understand the cry of hosanna?
+
* According to the Spirit, what will explain why Nephi will see the vision he wants to see?
+
 
+
===Verse 7===
+
* The Spirit tells Nephi that seeing the Son will be a sign. A sign of or for what?
+
* The Spirit uses the word "witness" to mean "see" in this verse rather than to mean "testify" or "bear record." Why, then, does he use the word "witness" rather than the word "see"?
+
 
+
===Verse 8===
+
* Before Lehi saw the tree, he went through a dark and dreary space and a large and spacious field ([[1 Ne 8:7|1 Nephi 8:7-9]]). Why do you think those things are omitted from Nephi's experience?
+
* Is it significant that Nephi says the tree he saw was like the tree his father saw (verse 8)?
+
* What tree does Nephi see?
+
* What justifies the answer you gave? Why is beauty a representation of good and godliness? Is there a connection between truth, goodness, and beauty?
+
 
+
===Verse 9===
+
* How does Nephi know that the tree is precious?
+
 
+
===Verse 10===
+
* The Spirit asks the same question that he asked in verse 2. Why?
+
* Is there some sense in which this is the beginning of a second vision?
+
* If so, can you explain the connection of the two visions?
