“… Let me illustrate with an experience. Our family lived for many years in the state of Florida. Because Florida has a high concentration of sand, lawns there are planted with a large broadleaf grass we call Saint Augustine. A formidable enemy of a Florida lawn is a small, brown insect called a mole cricket.”

**#ComeFollowMe nugget** Helaman 12 Mormon’s Editorial Mormon frequently steps out of the story line to share important lessons drawn from the Book of Mormon record, and this time his commentary fills the entire chapter. He begins with “And thus we can behold” and ends with “And thus it is” (verses 1, 26). Indeed, portions of this chapter (especially the first six verses) have been quoted extensively over the years in our latter-day general conferences. Search for the following in verses 1-8, 23-24: What did Mormon write about mortals? What are their primary weaknesses and tendencies? What did he say about the Lord? Why do we need chastening? In what way are we considered “less than the dust of the earth”? What is the only remedy? In what ways do you see yourself in these verses? Brother Hugh Nibley wrote: “No matter how wicked and ferocious and depraved the Lamanites might be…. No matter by how much they outnumbered the Nephites, darkly closing in on all sides … and pushed their preparations for all-out war, they were not the Nephite problem…. Their real problem … was to walk uprightly before the Lord” (Since Cumorah, pp. 339-340).

VIDEO: Why Does Helaman 7–8 Feel Like a Funeral Speech? (Book of Mormon Central Knowhy #575) #ComeFollowMe

Ancient Israelite Prophets would sometimes use dramatic actions to grab the attention of their audience and drive home of their point. It seems Nephi the son of Helaman employed this method as he lamented and mourned from his tower, since his actions caution the attention of a crowd and caused them to marvel. Based on careful analysis of Helaman 7-8, it seems that he was conducting a mock funeral for the death of the once righteous Nephite society.
