“This Thing Shall Be Given… for a Sign”
The Spirit here began to unfold the nature of the type shown to Lehi-the tree whose fruit was the most glorious and beautiful and sweet of all that is known to man. The tree had been given, as we shall shortly see, “for a sign,” as a symbol of him whose branches provide sacred shade which shields one from the scorching rays of sin and ignorance. Indeed, this vision was to be more than an involvement with an abstract concept called the “love of God.” It was a messianic message, a poignant prophecy of him toward whom all men press forward on that strait and narrow path which leads to life eternal.
