Come Follow Me - 3 Nephi 1-7 (Extended Version): The First Nephite Christmas

An extended, verse-by-verse study of 3 Nephi 1-7, which describes the sign of Christ's birth and its aftermath. This lesson focuses on impossible prophecies, the birth of Jesus, faith and doubt, polarization, making rhetorical demands, open battles vs. siege warfare, "outward privileges," Mormon's role a prophet-historian, educational inequality, greater power, and more.

I imagine some critics saying that to “watch steadfastly” is no different than indulging in confirmation bias which is typical cult behavior. I think faith plays a big role here because there comes a point where you just have to say waiting on the Lord is the bet I’m making. So be it.

Love your explanation of apostasy and restoration. I am so grateful for the knowledge of revelation yet to come. So grateful we are all privy to revelation and the power of the Holy Ghost to testify to our hearts of truth. You are proof that no matter where we are in life we can continue to gain wisdom and knowledge of God The Father and our beloved Savior, of their love and the promises and protection if we keep the faith and act upon it.

Isn’t the language of Nephi’s departing similar to Moses’? Is it suggested that he was likewise translated?

1:42 if you recall, Jesus Christ cursed a sycamore FIG tree 🌳, the tall kind Zacchæus had climbed up to see better because Zacchæus was short of stature.
The sycamore fig tree 🌳 leaves 🍃 withered and the tree died. A dead tree still uncut is called: deadwood. Jesus was hung on dead not a living tree wood.
That tree was also cut down after Jesus was crucified on it. It was standing deadwood.
In the garden of EDEN what kind of fruit did Adam and Eve eat? They made aprons of the leaves 🍃 of the particular tree with, not apples, fruit tree.
People always wondered but the words are in the verses: fig leaves 🍃 come from fig trees 🌳. Fig tree fruit are figs.
Thanks 💡 😊

3 Nephi 2:15-16 says "And their curse was taken from them, and their skin became
white like unto the Nephites; And their young men and their daughters became exceedingly
fair, and they were numbered among the Nephites, and were called Nephites".

What happened to the older converted Lamanites? Did they also become exceedingly fair
like their children?
