  • Helaman 7-16
    HELAMAN 7-16 Book of Mormon, Adult Institute Class, Monday, 22 February 2010 David A. LeFevre INTRODUCTION The main points of this lesson are that 1) The Lord is preparing his people who will listen for the coming of his Son; and, 2) Sadly, most of the people will not listen. These chapters cover twenty-two years of Nephite history, from 69-90 in the reign of the judges (RoJ). Nearly everything described happens in the city of Zarahemla. A simple outline of the chapters in this lesson is: Topic Reference 1830 chapter Nephi’s sermons Helaman 7-8 Nephi’s innocence proved Helaman 9 Helaman 3 A blessing for Nephi Helaman 10 Famine and robbers Helaman 11 Helaman 4 Mormon’s editorial Helaman 12 The words of Samuel Helaman 13-15 Helaman 5 Wickedness prevails Helaman 16 HELAMAN 7 NEPHI’S FIRST SERMON 1 from the land northward . Nephi and his brother Lehi went on a mission to the land northward along with many Lamanite missionaries, as recorded in Helaman 6:6. They left in 62 RoJ, and returned it was 69 RoJ, meaning they were on a mission for 7-8 years. 3 they did reject all his words . Sadly, it appears that his long mission had little impact, even to the point that “he could not stay among them.” Many missionaries today could take heart from this short mention. How many of today’s missionaries preach for 18-24 months and baptize only a few? Yet here was Nephi, one of the Lord’s great servants, who converted thousands of Lamanites, but who had no success among the people to the north after laboring with them for many years.

  • Repent and Return Unto the Lord” – Helaman 13-16
    BM#35 “Repent and Return unto the Lord” – Helaman 13-16 I. Introduction II. Helaman 13 III. Helaman 14 IV. Helaman 15 V. Helaman 16 VI. Conclusions I. Introduction As noted in our last lesson, the Nephites had become wicked, while the Lamanites were righteous. We also noted that the Book of Mormon is not about “Good guys” verses “Bad guys.” Instead it is about a group of people who choose to enter into a covenant with the Lord and seek to become like Him. When they accept Jesus Christ as their Savior and Redeemer; Exercise faith and repent from their sins; Are baptized and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, and Strive to live a life of obedience, they are blessed as individuals, and as a people. This includes having the Spirit of the Lord in their lives. This is the current state of the Lamanites. When an individual or a group of people, rebels against the words of the Lord’s prophets; Chooses to live lives of wickedness, and persecute the poor and the needy, they become ripe for destruction. The Spirit of the Lord is grieved and withdraws from them. This is the current state of the Nephites. In the eyes of the Lord, all are welcome into his kingdom. They enter by their willingness to make and keep sacred covenants and striving to pattern their lives after Jesus Christ. They become one with the Lord in heart and mind. Covenant keeping and worthy lives are the criteria, not progenitors. It was Jesus who told the Jews, “And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham” (Matthew 3:9).

ISSN 1065-9366 (print), 2168-3158 (online) Abstract The wide-ranging sermon of Samuel the Lamanite, spo- ken from the top of the city wall of Zarahemla, exhibits poetic features in a censuring passage—features that bear similarities to laments found in the Bible, most notably in the Psalms. Like the laments in the Bible, those in Samuel’s speech show contacts with wor- ship. In distinction to the biblical laments, but like the Thanksgiving Hymns of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the poetic pieces in Samuel’s sermon reveal a set of prophecies that find fulfillment in later periods, including the days of Mormon, the compiler and editor of the Book of Mormon.

  • Letters and Autobiography
    "Their Fathers" - Letters and Autobiography The rst purpose of the Book of Mormon, according to Moroni in the title page, is “to show unto the remnant of the House of Israel what great things the Lord hath done for their fathers.” The “great things” are primarily the miracles of the Lord in bringing Lehi and his family out of Jerusalem and to the promised land (2 Nephi 1:1; Alma 9:9; 3 Nephi 5:20). To Nephi and Lehi, the “fathers” are their ancestors, especially Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (1 Nephi 17:40). But Mormon and Moroni more likely intend “fathers” to refer primarily to Lehi and Nephi. Mormon speaks of “our fathers” whom the Lord brought “out of the land of Jerusalem” (3 Nephi 5:20). “Fathers” implicitly includes as well such other exemplars of faith as Ammon, Alma, and the twelve Nephite disciples. Moroni quotes Christ as saying “unto our fathers: If ye have faith ye can do all things which are expedient unto me” (Moroni 10:23; see also Moroni 7:33). Mormon speaking to Lamanites in the latter days says, Know ye that ye must come to the knowledge of your fathers, and repent of all your sins and iniquities, and believe in Jesus Christ. and if ye believe [the Book of Mormon] ye will know concerning your fathers, and also the marvelous works which were wrought by the power of God among them. (Mormon 7:5, 9) Conversely, the fathers of the Lamanites, Laman and Lemuel, began false traditions, saying Nephi was a liar and a robber (Alma 20:13).
