1 Nephi 12 & 13
As I read this morning, I was guilty of not giving it the time it deserves. Try as I will, there are those days. Just the same. . . . Nephi's tour of the span of man continues. He is shown the Americas and the discovery by men guided by the Spirit. He is shown the destruction at the crucifixion of the Savior, the Savior's appearance to the Nephites, the four hundred years of righteousness and pride coming into the lives of the people once more and the destruction of his people.
Again, I marvel at the idea of being shown such amazing things by an angel. I've been reading the Book of Mormon for many years now and each time I reach these two chapters I am amazed at the description of the world's history as it is taught. Columbus was driven to explore. What exactly was it that was driving him? It was the Spirit of the Lord. Since this is so easily identified, to me it only gives credence to the truth of the Book of Mormon and should cause us to take seriously the things being taught.
