2nd Nephi : 18
PoeticIntensity
One part of this chapter possibly made sense to me, although I could be totally wrong.
Okay, two parts did.
The first is verses 8 - 13. It seems to me that these verses are talking about the kingdom of Judah. Though they may assemble themselves and try, they will ultimately fail unless they begin to fear God. (again, could b...

Reading these two chapters didn't leave me with much spiritual insight, as I didn't understand much of it.

2nd Nephi : 14 & 15

To be honest, about 80% of these two chapters made no sense to me at all. I didn't put forth my best effort to understand, but I really did concentrate.
A couple of verses made a lot of sense to me due to the state of the world we live in.
Chapter 15 verses 20-23. You know it's a bad day when people in general accept wickedness as r...

There are portions of this chapter where I think it is referring to our day, or the latter-days. I'm not sure, though.
Man, to understand this Isaiah stuff, I've really gotta be in a super-spiritual, "yearning after truth", mood or it just doesn't make much sense.
The latter verses I find interesting simply because they are so f...

This chapter is a great pre-cursor to the chapters to follow. Nephi explains why he like the words of Isaiah, as well as the fact that he likes to bring people to Christ.
