  1. I love your blog! Thanks for your insightful comments. I think I’m going to write a blog about your blog for others to see because you share very insightful things on the temple.

    Here’s what I found in 2 Nephi 4 in addition to your comments:

    v20 “…he (God) hath led me through mine afflictions in the wilderness…”

    v 24 “…I waxed bold in mighty prayer…and angels came down and ministered unto me.”

    These verses made me think of the video that we watch in the temple.

  2. Not only does Nephi’s Psalm contain temple imagery, the entire thing takes you step by step through the stations of the Old Temple. There are many more examples of this literary format in the Book of Mormon, as well as all the standard works. Below is a link an article about it in my blog:
