As I read today I just couldn't help but imagine what Nephi saw. How strong he must have been to see the things he saw. Think about seeing 2,000 or more years into the future... can you picture it? Do you think you could even make it up? No! I don't think anyone in their right mind would even try. Nephi saw this time, our day and many many other things. How thankful I am for his obedience in writing the things down which he saw.
Lets review a few of the things that I read that really stuck out to me. 2 Nephi 28:19-22
In verse 21 Nephi says... "and thus the devil cheateth their souls, and leadeth them away carefully down to hell." Let's read that one more time.. with emphasis added.. "and thus the devil cheateth their souls, and leadeth them away carefully down to hell." Carefully Brothers and Sisters. That is how the Devil gets us! Carefully! He is tricky! Do not whatever you do, DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE HIM! If we just slip up one little time, he has all the more influence to come in with one other little thing. Until it is too late and we are in way deeper then we ever expected!
The Devil lies. Nephi saw the imapct he would have on our hearts today. Gordon B. Hinckley a modern day prophet also saw the impact Satan is having on God's Children. He too talks about the scripture that I shared above. "Those are interesting and descriptive words—'leadeth them away carefully down to hell,' and 'he whispereth in their ears.' How descriptive of the seductive and beguiling ways of the purveyors of filth and violence and evil."
We are lead away little by little. Let us all make a promise to ourselves that we will fight against the Devil and his evil ways. Live for Heavenly Father and strive to become like His Son Jesus Christ. As we do this, Satan will be cast out of our hearts little... by little.
