2 Nephi Ch. 11-16
2 Nephi ch. 15 talks about a vinyard of grapes. I am reminded of Jacob 5 and the alegory of the olive tree.
Feel free to add your comments about these 5 chapter.
From a horticultural standpoint, this chapter is fun to read. However, the grafting techniques described are actually quite different from what really works. It is a good reminder that what we are reading is symbolical for the scattering and gathering of Israel.
2 Nephi 10:10-14 makes me think of "My Country, 'Tis of Thee," especially the 4th verse: Our fathers’ God, to thee, Author of liberty, To thee we sing; Long may our land be bright With freedom’s holy light. Protect us by thy might, Great God, our King!

ReplyDeleteAuthor of liberty,
To thee we sing;
Long may our land be bright
With freedom’s holy light.
Protect us by thy might,
