But I think the parallel between Lehi’s wilderness journey and the Israelites wilderness journey - with the same brass plates - still stands.

Therefore, as we read in the Book of Mormon, the brass plates of Joseph that left Egypt with the Israelites were the SAME plates Nephi took when they left Jerusalem. <br /><br />I expect them to go through one more Exodus of some kind to get to us in a future day.

There are numerous interpretations of that part of the vision, of course, but nevertheless it seems that whenever you have the birth of a new movement, an authorized servant, new scripture, new testimonies of Christ(which all seem to come together) the serpent ALWAYS stands ready to devour it if he is given half a chance. <br /><br />Marcia Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
