This week we look at Lehi's vision internally, how it speaks of us and our journey.
1:11a [1:12] ¶ And it came to pass that as he read, he was filled with the Spirit of YHVH(1);
1:11b [1:13a] And he read, saying: Wo, wo unto Jerusalem! For I have seen thine abominations;
1:12a [1:13b] Yea, and many things did my father read concerning Jerusalem—
1:12b [1:13c] That it should be destroyed, and the inhabitants thereof, many should perish by the sword, and many should be carried away captive into Babylon.
