Hamblin, BOM notes: 1 Nephi 11-15 1 Jan 24, 2012 1 Nephi 11-15 (GD 4) Nephi’s Apocalypse 10:22 And the Holy Ghost giveth authority that I [Nephi] should speak these things [in chapters 11-14], and deny them not. This verse is probably an introduction to the Apocalypse of Nephi, not closing of 1 Ne. 10. It is a command to write his vision. “Holy Ghost giveth authority” No mention of priesthood authority here ancient Israelite concept of Priesthood as temple function and authority no priesthood or need for priesthood without temple Holy Ghost as foundation for prophetic function and authority prophet can be a temple priest or not Divided into conceptual units by angel saying “Look!” 11:8, 12, 19, 24, 26, 30, 31, 32; 12:1, 11, 13:1, 14:9, 18 Lehi: 1 Ne. 10:4-10 Part 1 (1 Ne. 11): The Ministry of Christ and the Apostles 11:1-7 Nephi’s Interview with “the Spirit of the Lord” (11:1b) 11:8-11 Nephi’s Vision of the Tree 11:12-23 Vision of the Virgin and Birth of Christ 11:24-29 Condescension of God 11:30-31 Ministry of Christ 11:32-33 Crucifixion 11:34-36 Persecution of the Apostles Hamblin, BOM notes: 1 Nephi 11-15 2 Jan 24, 2012 Lehi: 1 Ne. 10:13 Part 2 (1 Ne. 12): Nephi’s Seed in the Land of Promise 12:1-5 Nephi’s Vision of his Seed 12:6-10 Christ and twelve disciples in the Promised Land (3 Nephi) 12:11-15 The Four Generations (3 Ne: 27:32; 4 Ne:) 12:16-18 Angelic Interpretation of elements of Tree of Life vision 12:19-23 Fall of the Nephites (Morm: 2-6) Lehi: 1 Ne. 10:11-12 Part 3 (1 Ne. 13:1-29) : The Great and Abominable Church and the Gentiles 13:1-3 Vision of the Gentiles 13:4-9 Formation of the Great and Abominable Church 13:10-15 Coming of the Gentiles to the Promised Land 13:16-19 Wars of the Gentiles 13:20-25 Book of the Gentiles 13:26-29 Loss of the “Plain and Precious Things” from the Book Lehi: 1 Ne. 10:14 Part 4 (1 Ne. 13:30-14:30): The Great and Marvelous Work 13:30-42 The Coming Forth of the Book of Mormon 14:1-4 Gentiles Numbered with Lehites if they accept the book 14:5-7 Great and Marvelous Work 14:8-17 God’s Wrath upon GAC 14:18-27 Nephi’s vision and John and Revelation 14:28-30 Conclusion of Nephi’s Vision Lehi: 1 Ne. 8 (1 Ne. 15) Nephi Explains Vision of the Tree of Life to Laman and Lemuel 15:1-6 Different Reactions of Nephi and L&L to Visions 15:7-18 Question of L&L 1: Olive Tree (1 Ne. 10:11-14; Jacob 5).
