II Nephi 25

II Nephi 25: Nephi states the words of Isaiah are plain unto all those who are filled with the spirit of prophesy. Nephi deliberately did not teach his children about Jerusalem and the Jews—because of their (the Jew’s) sins and wickedness. Isaiah’s words were written for the last days. Before destroying any peoples, the Lord will warn and give opportunity to repent. Nephi’s words plainly prophesize of Christ. The Lord will proceed to do a marvelous work and a wonder to restore his people. V. 26 is a moving and beautiful verse—“We talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ and we write according to our prophecies that our children may know to what source they may look for the remission of their sins.” Nephi speaks so plainly that he cannot be misunderstood and his words will stand as a testament.

Application: Do I speak, talk, and write of Christ so plainly that my children cannot misunderstand? Do I keep wickedness out of my home as Nephi did so my children are not educated in the ways of wickedness?
