“I Stretched Forth My Hand”

George Reynolds, Janne M. Sjodahl

Nephi instantly obeyed the divine commandment, whereupon the Lord, according to his word, caused them to "shake" in such a manner that they became convinced that God was on the side of Nephi. When God undertakes to manifest his power, be it in shaking "the powers of heaven" (Ezek. 38:20), there is no doubt as to who is the Ruler of the universe.
