Before Nephi passed away, he consecrated Jacob as a High Priest and gave him the plates to continue the record of the people. With Nephi gone and the Nephites slipping into wickedness and greed, Jacob speaks bluntly to his people and calls them to repent. Riches, the Law of Chastity and magnifying your calling are the major themes of his message.

Brittney Nelson and Nathan Siebach discuss these chapters and how relevant they are today more than ever!

What are you inspired to do when you think of the love of the Lord?  What are some of the ways the Lord has shown his love to you?  In contrast, what are some of the ways that Satan operates among the children of men?

Nephi gives us answers to these questions and reveals prophesies of the latter-days in 2 Nephi 26-30.  Nathan Siebach and Caesar Gonzales discuss these questions, the restoration of the gospel, and the marvelous works and wonders of the Lord in our day.

This week Aaron Allen, a medic in the Army Special Forces, and I discuss Nephi's vision of the tree of life.  Nephi sees the same vision as his father, Lehi, and explains it in great detail including future events like the coming of the Messiah, the discovery of the American continent, and the establishment of the United States where the Book of Mormon would eventually come forth.

Notes and quotes from the show can be found here.

Lehi dreams of the Tree of Life and shares it with his children. Nephi is commanded to keep the record of his people and makes two sets of plates (small and large).  Lehi prophesies of the coming of the Messiah and the scattering and gathering of Israel.
