So the last couple of days we have been studying Ancient Greece and the Book of Mormon. No, there are no great connections, but a lot to learn. Today we read 1 Nephi 4 - right off the bat in verse 2 Nephi is giving his brothers a pep talk and says - "let us be strong like unto Moses; for he truly spake unto the waters of the Red Sea and they divided..." It worked out perfectly that we have already studied the exodus so the kids remember the parting of the Red Sea. How awesome to see Nephi using the scriptures in his own life - inspiring others as well!
Verse 15 - "...they could not keep the commandments of the Lord according to the law of Moses, save they should have the law." Again - having already studied Exodus gives us a great foundation to understand these verses and see just how meaningful they were to Nephi.
Then in 1 Nephi 5:14 - having studied Ancient Egypt, Joseph and the famine really provides a foundation for these teachings as well.
