0:00.0 | Hello there. My name is Tyler Griffin and this is Scripture Study Insights by Scripture Central. |
0:07.0 | Today, Mormon chapters 7, 8, and 9. |
0:11.5 | And this is a fascinating section of the overall Book of Mormon story because chapter 7 happens to be the final chapter written by Mormon, |
0:25.5 | the chief abridger. And it's fascinating to note of all the things that he could have talked |
0:31.7 | about in his last chapter, he chooses to address the latter-day descendants of the Lamanites. Now, there's |
0:43.3 | something beautifully Christ-like about what's going on here, and I want to use that as one |
0:49.0 | of a couple lifelong learning overlays that we use for these chapters today. Number one, if you consider |
0:57.8 | what would you say to a group of people who are descended from an entire population that destroyed |
1:08.1 | your family, your nation, your people, and killed everybody, I don't know that many of us |
1:16.7 | would be prone to speak kindly to that group, but we see this beautiful Christ-like principle |
1:23.3 | of forgiveness, of not holding grudges, this charity, this pure love of Christ that flows |
1:32.4 | through Mormon, and you see it in his words, right out of the first verse in chapter |
1:38.3 | seven, he says, and now behold, I would speak somewhat unto the remnant of this people who are spared." |
1:46.0 | It's important to note the context for this chapter, knowing it's his last and knowing what happened in the chapter right before. |
1:53.0 | It was that great battle at Camorra and we don't know the timeline. |
1:58.0 | So we don't know the exact timing for when chapter 7 was written by Mormon. It could |
2:05.1 | have been as soon as a day or two or three, a few days after the final battle at Camorra, as he |
2:14.1 | described it in Mormon chapter 6, the chapter 8 before, which happened in 385 AD. |
2:23.3 | Or the other end extreme, we know that Moroni gives us a time stamp in Mormon chapter 8, verse 6, |
2:33.3 | behold, 400 years have passed away since the coming of our |
2:36.5 | Lord and Savior. So using the Nephite calendar 400 years would put it at the year 401 |
2:44.5 | AD. So it's somewhere in that range. |
