→ Time Stamps: (00:00) An overview of these chapters.(03:46) Nephi gives advice to us, his latter-day audience.(06:40) A book will be delivered to an unlearned man. Like many of Isaiah’s words, this prophecy can be fulfilled in different ways.(08:59) Prevailing false ideas of our day include the belief that there is no God, or that God has already done his work and is not involved in our lives. Balance is required to understand truth. (13:50) The “eat, drink and be merry” philosophy. Seeing how God embodies both justice and mercy helps us to understand His true character as our father.(25:26) The Adversary stirs some to anger, others he pacifies and lulls into carnal security, leading them carefully to hell.(31:17) Nephi cautions against rejecting the Book of Mormon. More scripture will be revealed.

| 0:20.0 | Welcome to talking scripture. I'm Mike and I'm Bryce and today we're going to talk |
| 0:27.3 | about second Nephi 26 through 30 Nephi is targeting specific audiences. |
| 0:32.8 | And so Bryce, why don't you talk about those audiences |
| 0:35.3 | and what Nephi is doing here in these chapters? |
| 0:37.8 | Okay, so let's go back to Nephi's vision. |
| 0:39.8 | Remember, Lehi receives a vision of the Tree of life and then Nephi wants to know more. |
| 0:44.8 | But the Lord doesn't give Nephi the symbolic vision. |
| 0:47.8 | He doesn't show him a tree, a rod, a building. |
| 0:50.5 | He tells him three historical narratives. |
