Alma 43
Verse 8
For behold, his designs were to stir up the Lamanites to anger against
the Nephites; this he did that he might usurp great power over them, and
also that he might gain power over the Nephites by bringing them into bondage.
The Comments:
Here we have some of Zerahemnah's steps for subjecting the Nephites. Notice the progression as well as the continued focus of Zerahemnah as he goes after what he wants.
Do we have a plan in our lives to counter Satan as the Nephites did the Lamanites?
This question popped into my head. What makes one being/person want to subject another to bondage? In my mind I don't even get where that comes from.
I was listening to an author interview tonight. The author talked about how the police in Arizona received a death threat, that if she gave her presentation, she'd be killed.
ReplyDeleteHe book and presentation is about spousal abuse/slavery. Apparently some 'caring' husband didn't want his wife getting any 'ideas.' Sadly, the desire of some to have their wishes be everyone else's fantasies is beyond me. I've never found happiness from causing suffering.
