"And they came down and went forth upon the face of the earth; and the first came and stood before my father, and gave unto him a book, and bade him that he should read."
What an exciting experience. I don't know about everyone else, but I usually dream in third person, where I am watching myself like I have a recorded movie of what is happening. Rarely if ever, do I dream in first person. So when I hear this I think of myself, as a fly on the wall watching this scene, but then "the first"comes up to not the one that I can see, but to the fly on the wall me that is watching and isn't aware that they know I am there. I don't know if that makes sense. Basically this made me think about one of them breaking the fourth wall, and addressing the viewer.
I know that is super random but it is what I imagine from this one. And, correct me if I am wrong, but I don't believe Nephi and Lehi knew that the name of the Savior was to be Jesus. I remember there is a moment somewhere in the Book of Mormon where that is revealed...I should probably find that but I am running a bit behind today. I will bold that I see if I can't come back and update. So I am pretty sure the first that he talks about is Jesus, and he comes up to him (super awesome) and gives him a book and asks him to read it. I expected the footnotes to be more helpful than they were for the work book. It links to two other accounts in the bible that talk about people being presented with books in visions being told to read them. That is actually a really interesting point to the credit of the Book of Mormon. I also find it interesting that he is told to read the book.
Ha ha I just thought about how boring it would be to be in a dream watching someone read a book. I don't want to give any spoilers, but I think tomorrow we find out that it was definitely not boring. Sorry, today was a little on the lame side. I will catch you tomorrow with a better one :).
