2 Nephi 29

2 Nephi 29

2 Nephi 29: 1-2

will be many...................................................................a day with an enormous population
marvelous work and wonder...............................................terms referring to missionary work
second time..............................................................Lord will perform his second coming
promises....................................................................Lord told ancients he would do this, and he does it
hiss forth....................................................................the message will be heard
ends of earth....................................................................the origin of the world from an unexpected place (West)
standard......................................................................spells forth the Lord's law

The messages of the gospel will be renewed in the future.  the origin of the message will come from the ends of the earth, but they will be clearly heard.

2 Nephi 29: 3-12

a Bible........................................................................mantra of the limiters of the last days
Bible problems..........................................................good book, but it is limited itself
mouth of Jew...........................................................forget who wrote the book, the culture lost
Gentiles.........................................................................forge who the book featured, breaking the promises
fool.....................................................................disregarding the whole purpose of the book
more nations.......................................................not just 1 people, rather all people are featured
murmur...............................................................serious and loud complaining
God's will...............................................................what men think is not important.  What does GOD think?
all my words..........................................................Bible good, but not complete.  Let God speak
my words.................................................................meant for all men.  Used to judge men
Jews, Nephites, others.................................................keep that before you.  He will speak to many groups.  Study that.

God wants us to study all scriptures, and to get a testimony of it from Him.  He will establish His word, and he will do it many cultures.  So we need to look towards his Will, not that of scholars and men.

2 Nephi 29: 13

will have it.....................................................................God promises multiple origins of words
lost tribes.....................................................................will even get the works of the lost ones
gathered........................................................................a promised church assembly in last days
lands of possession.........................................................to establish kingdom in all lands
I will remember.........................................................promises not forgotten

In the last days, the word will go forth despite the conflict with the older orders that would limit the access men have with divine revelation.  We can expect it, and we should embrace it.

2 Nephi 29

This book establishes a major doctrine of personal and group revelation that will super-cede all the limiting philosophies that men will have imposed on the people, through misrepresentations of the Bible and by their uttered opinions concerning personal revelation.  God wants us to know that he wants us to get spirituality individually and by his help, when we have faith.
