Jarom

Jarom 1: 1-8

what could I write more..............................................very little room, little new information
hardness of hearts.....................................................people very determined to be irreligious
many have revelations...........................................although not recorded, many are believers
profaned not........................................................the main culture follows the law of Moses
scattered...........................................................a great deal of migrating, and also Lamaniteds
conflicts...............................................................a great deal of jockying for power
mighty men of God...............................................considers prosperity a blessing of God

This narrator conserves himself from writing much of a spiritual history, rather showing gratitude to God for the prosperity of his people, thanks to the righteous men among them.  Yet, he calls them a stiffnecked people.

Jarom 1: 9-15

prophets warn.....................................................the people are constantly warned of their sins
as if....................................................................teach Christ, as if he had already lived
kept them from.....................................................as yet, enough warning to save the people
go to other........................................................considers other records more interesting
unto Omni.............................................................continues the passage of the records

The other, darker side of the people is considered.  They are in constant need of repentance for their sins.  They are warned, and they have been preserved and prospered up to this point.

Jarom

A short book by a minor writer.  He seems to be writing grudgingly in the book, indicating next to no specifics about his people except that some are good and some are bad, and that they are living the law of Moses with a Messianic fervor.
