Ether 15

This chapter, Ether 15, will conclude the Book of Ether.  This is the last chapter for the week and I am sure will close with the complete destruction of the Jaredite people.  I will write what I can, but my heart is sore from the last chapter, so I don’t imagine that I will write

Ether 14

Ether 14 begins with a curse upon the land because of the wickedness of the people.  This curse was so great that every person was scared to leave any of their possessions off of their body for as we read in verse 1, if a man left it upon a shelf tomorrow it would be

Ether 13

I’ll be honest here… I am a slacker.  I took a couple of days off from my scripture studies and now need to get through these last three chapters, blog them, write a blog post for class and then write a book review for my other course.  I am going to be at the computer

Ether 12

Ether has arrived and in the days of Ether Coriantumr was the king and Ether was a prophet of the Lord.  The Spirit of the Lord was so strong with Ether that he could not be restrained and in verse three we read “for he did cry from the morning, even unto the going down

Ether 11

Ether 11…. that means we’re more than 2/3 finished with the Book of Ether, and yet we haven’t learned of Ether at all.  There are many generations covered here, it would be interesting to sit down and list them all and see how many (approximately) passed away for the people of the Jaredites.  How long

Ether 10

Do you ever work on something and just be thankful that you are a little ahead of schedule?  I will tell you, that with 15 chapters of reading and blogs to get through this week, I am thrilled that I am a bit ahead of schedule and that wordpress allows me to write and schedule

Ether 9

Ether 9 … visualize. This is a really sad chapter to my heart.  It’s a great big circle of repent, be good, do evil, die, kill the king, repent, be good, do evil, die, kill the king.  You get it….. So sad.  The chapter ends with the Jaredites being a good people, but they repented

Ether 8

Ether 8… what shall we be able to visualize?  Close your eyes and imagine yourself at the end of this great familial war that has ended in peace.  There are prophets throughout the land, testifying of Christ.  You can go and hear a prophet of God speak and share with you calls for repentance and

Ether 7

Please remember as you embark on this chapter that we are trying to use the study skill of visualization…. I don’t know what it will bring, but I bet there is something in here we can use our imaginations with. Orihah led his people in righteousness and he lived long and had 23 sons and

Ether 6

Ether 6 begins with Moroni proceeding to give a record of the Jaredite adventures. Back to mount Shelem where the brother of Jared received the lit stones from Christ.  He came down and put one stone in each end of the eight vessels.  The Jaredites prepared everything that they needed to and climbed inside and
