2 Ne 10:3 they shall crucify him

"Such knowledge could only be had by revelation.  The fulfillment of the prophecy required not only that the Jews reject and kill their Messiah but also that he die by crucifixion.  The prophecy was the more remarkable because crucifixion was unknown to Hebrew law.  The Mosaic code prescribed the penalty of death in four forms:  stoning, burning, beheading, and strangling." (McConkie and Millet, Doctrinal Commentary on the Book of Mormon, vol. 1, p. 266)

The prophecy of our Savior and His purpose to die for each of us is amazing because this was hundreds of years before Christ was even born.

The Lord with fortify the land of America against all other nations (2 Nephi 10:11-14)

Christ also promised in vs 14 that he "will be a light unto them forever that hear my words."

 We need not only to hear the words of Christ but live our lives accordingly. We should always strive to live our lives in accordance with our Father in Heaven and Savior and their teachings.

Blessing: I have an amazing bishop that is approachable and easy to talk to.

Heber J. Grant said "I have heard men and women say that they were going to let their sons and daughters grow to maturity before they sought to teach them the principles of the gospel, that they were not going to cram the gospel down them in their childhood, before they were able to comprehend it. When I hear men and women say this, I think they are lacking faith in the principles of the gospel and do not comprehend it as they should. The Lord has said it is our duty to teach our children in their youth, and I prefer to take His word for it rather than the words of those who are not obeying His commandments.. I may know that the gospel is true, and so may my wife; but I want to tell you that your children will not know that the gospel is true, unless they study it and gain a testimony for themselves. Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
