Episode notes

The verse from 2 Nephi 20:28 describes the Assyrian invasion forces progressing towards Jerusalem, causing fear and anticipation. Elder Gerald Lund's analogy of the Wasatch Front geography helps to visualize the situation by equating the invasion to losing various states and territories to the Assyrians, leading up to a critical moment at Knob. The message conveys not to lose faith, even when the peril seems imminent, as the Lord promises to intervene at the right moment and fulfill his pledges, emphasizing the theme of faith and divine protection amidst adversity.

Are Nephi and Isaiah speaking to their day or ours? Dr. Camille Fronk Olson explores the historical context of Assyria and Babylon to address the need for trust in Jesus Christ, to follow the Covenant Path, and to prepare for the Second Coming.
