In this podcast we examine how Nephi constructs his overall narrative in 2 Nephi. We also tackle some of the points Nephi made in 1 Nephi 22 regarding the difficulties ahead for the humble followers of Christ. After this, we launch into the account of Lehi’s blessings to his posterity in 2 Nephi 1-4. We conclude with the temple context associated with the division between Nephi and Laman/Lemuel as these two groups experience a traumatic separation.
