Cry Unto the Lord Ether 1-6

Why was Nephi commanded to include the Jaredite history?

Hugh Nibley …imagine any man insane enough to try [after writing about the Nephites] to write another such story of equal length and detail … but this time about a totally different race of people living in an age far removed from any other and in a wholly different geographical setting. Everything is different in the book of Ether, except the plot. The plot's the same, and it works out the same. So what's going on? Why is it the same? … Now every century sees its wars, its treaties, and the troubles and the affairs of men-“…the same types of trouble, the same types of jealousy, the same types of passion. As Ecclesiastes says, nothing changes. It's always the same baloney. This world is always that way, but always in a different setting. This is the point.

Ether 1 34 And the brother of Jared being a large and mighty man, and a man highly favored of the Lord, Jared, his brother, said unto him: Cry unto the Lord, that he will not confound us that we may not understand our words.

Nimrod’s Castle North of the Shinar Plain Took with them: Deseret (honey bee) Fish (in a vessel)

Ether 2 13 And now I proceed with my record; for behold, it came to pass that the Lord did bring Jared and his brethren forth even to that great sea which divideth the lands. And as they came to the sea they pitched their tents; and they called the name of the place Moriancumer; and they dwelt in tents, and dwelt in tents upon the seashore for the space of four years. 14 And it came to pass at the end of four years that the Lord came again unto the brother of Jared, and stood in a cloud and talked with him. And for the space of three hours did the Lord talk with the brother of Jared, and chastened him because he remembered not to call upon the name of the Lord.

Three Barge Dilemmas Problem #1-Air The Lord’s Response- He told them the answer (build holes in the top and bottom)

Three Barge Dilemmas Problem #2- Steering The Lord’s Response- He took care of it- (provided a great wind)

Three Barge Dilemmas Problem #3- Light The Lord’s Response- What will ye that I should do- (that ye may have light in your vessels)?

President Hinckley "I don’t know how to get anything done except getting on my knees and pleading for help- then getting on my feet and going to work"

(Ether 3:19-20.) 19 And because of the knowledge of this man he could not be kept from beholding within the veil; and he saw the finger of Jesus, which, when he saw, he fell with fear; for he knew that it was the finger of the Lord; and he had faith no longer, for he knew, nothing doubting. 20 Wherefore, having this perfect knowledge of God, he could not be kept from within the veil; therefore he saw Jesus; and he did minister unto him.

Elder Packer The world says: seeing is believing: show me! When will we learn that in spiritual things... believing is seeing? Spiritual belief precedes spiritual knowledge

Prophet Joseph Smith God hath not revealed anything to Joseph, but what He will make known unto the Twelve, and even the least Saint may know all things as fast as he is able to bear them, for the day must come when no man need say to his neighbor, Know ye the Lord; for all shall know Him... from the least to the greatest. How is this to be done? It is to be done by this sealing power, and the other comforter spoken of, which will be manifest by revelation.

The Lord’s Challenge to Us Ether 4:13-15 Come unto me, O ye Gentiles, and I will show unto you the greater things, the knowledge which is hid up because of unbelief. Come unto me, O ye house of Israel, and it shall be made manifest unto you how great things the Father hath laid up for you, from the foundation of the world; and it hath not come unto you, because of unbelief. Behold, when ye shall rend that veil of unbelief... then shall ye know.
