2 Nephi Chapter 13


** IMPORTANT NOTE ** Second Nephi Chapters 12-24 inclusive are writings from the prophet Isaiah. The contents of these chapters were copied from the brass plates that Nephi had taken from Laban in Jerusalem and brought back to his father Lehi. These particular writings were included by Nephi. These Chapters can be very challenging to read and understand. So for purposes of this guide - we will only give a small summary and include any significant scriptures. Rather than skipping the chapters, we recommend you as least skim through to see what the prophecies are trying to convey. Don't get discouraged if you do not understand these chapters. You can always come back after you have read the remainder of the book and analyze them more closely later.
