Helaman 2-3

(May 8, 2014)
I don’t really know how I feel about these two chapters.  On the one hand, they are signs of hope and a demonstration of the blessings that are held out to those who put their faith in God.  On the other hand, the destruction that I know is coming is haunting my reading of these chapters.  This optimism will crumble in a matter of pages into the rampant scourge of the Gadianton Robbers and the destruction wrought by and upon the unrighteous Nephites.  Do we take comfort in the blessings they received for being righteous, or do we feel terror at the coming judgment that they will face for their forthcoming wickedness?
