→ Time Stamps: (00:00) Jacob is weighed down with anxiety for the welfare of his people. He was commanded by the Lord to deliver his message.(05:39) The group led by Lehi may have been part of a more extensive society native to the region.(09:10) Costliness of apparel demonstrated wealth and power in the Nephite culture.(10:28) Pride begins when we think that we have more than others, assume that we are better, and then persecute those we esteem as less.(17:17) Jacob teaches antidotes to pride. (27:47) Immoral behavior has awful consequences, breaking hearts of those we love.(39:11) The Nephite believers worshipped the Father in the name of Jesus Christ.(44:41) We are to teach to the understanding of men. Jacob sees “things as they really are.”(49:14) Jacob discusses those that rejected the stone, a sure foundation, which is Christ. He then asks how God will respond to those that have rejected Christ. Will God love me if I mess up? The allegory of the Olive Tree answers this question. (52:07) The practice of plural marriage in Church history.
