“The People of Nephis Seed Gather Against the Seed of His Brothers”

Monte S. Nyman

The third scene shown to Nephi by the angel is the time period of the destruction of his brethren in the fourth generation (of one hundred years) following Christ’s ministry, and the many generations that followed. The angel’s clarifications of the vision given to father Lehi were discussed previously and so will not be repeated here, but are certainly pertinent to what happened to Nephi’s people. This is implied in the last of verse eighteen, and the following verses.
