What is the symbolism of the darkness that came upon the Lamanites?

Thomas R. Valletta

by giving a description of simple comforts and protection the Lord will provide for his people in Zion. There will be provided a pavilion for shade by day from the heat, and for a refuge and a shelter from storm. Some authorities think that ‘heat’ and ‘storm’ symbolize enemy attacks, but I think such a view is highly unlikely when applied to a glorified, redeemed Zion” (Sperry, Book of Mormon Compendium, 184).
