ISSN 1065-9366 (print), 2168-3158 (online) Abstract Throughout history in many cultures, man has looked to the tree of life as a symbol of eternal life. The form of the tree of life varies according to a culture’s percep- tion of the universe. Many early Christians saw the tree of life as a personification of Jesus Christ. It may be that the tree of life vision in the Book of Mormon was presented to introduce the Savior and his minis- try. We may learn much about the Lord’s calling and personality by combining a study of various cultural ideas of the tree of life with the testimonies of the prophets contained in the scriptures.

  • 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.
