Donald W. Parry, a BYU professor of Hebrew Bible studies, translates the familiar passage of Isaiah 29:14 not as “I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder,” but as “I will astound these people with wonder upon wonder.”
“And the Book of Mormon does that,” Parry said at the Book of Mormon Lands Conference on Saturday. “It has wonder upon wonder upon wonder. And the people who are humble enough to read it and research it will see the wonder upon wonder. Some of them are physical evidences; others are internal or external evidences. But certainly the most important are the spiritual evidences.”
Parry presented several of these “wonders” at the conference — most dealing with his area of expertise in translation and biblical Hebrew.
Enjoy!
Thank you TD
I think what surpasses all of this is just the relevance of the content. I fear America is on the verge of having the government fall into the hands of what really amounts to a secret combination composed of the DNC, ACORN, MSM, ACLU, Code Pink, etc. etc. etc. They all cover up for each other, stir up hatred and fear of good people, and flatter people away into accepting what is wrong. They seek to have power over people to destroy liberty, promote immorality, persecute the people of God and enrich themselves. The tone of the last General Conf. certainly fits into that projection.
Thank you for the ping
