3 Nephi Chapter 26

26:2-3 - "...These scriptures, which ye had not with you, the Father commanded that I should give unto you; for it was wisdom in him that they should be given unto future generations. And he did expound all things, even from the beginning until the time that he should come in his glory..."
The Father found it wise to give them the scriptures - then He found it wise to expound all things, even from the beginning until the Second Coming.
I find that interesting - because that's pretty much the same vision that Nephi, Jacob, King Benjamin, Noah, Elder Haight, and many others saw: the sweeping tapestry of the Earth, start to end.
Mormon was about to write it down (verse 11), but the Lord commanded him not to write it, to try our faith.  I imagine that it was pretty clear on the Second Coming and that we need to have our faith tried more at this time than having everything revealed to us.


26:9 - "...And when they shall have received this, which is expedient that they should have first, to try their faith, and if it shall so be that they shall believe these things then shall the greater things be made manifest unto them..."
There are times that we want to know 'greater things,' but we need to have faith to accept the 'lesser things' first!
If we cannot accept the 'lesser things,' there is no way that we can progress and accept more.  If we hear it, it is highly likely that we would not accept it either.


26:13 - "...Therefore, I would that ye should behold that the Lord truly did teach the people, for the space of three days; and after that he did show himself unto them oft, and did break bread oft, and bless it, and give it unto them..."
This is a great testimony of the resurrected Lord given by the multitude - that they saw the Lord, and that He WAS resurrected with a body of flesh. We know that He was resurrected, and their testimony reinforces our own.


26:14 - "...And it came to pass that he did teach and minister unto the children of the multitude of whom hath been spoken, and he did loose their tongues, and they did speak unto their fathers great and marvelous things, even greater than he had revealed unto the people; and he loosed their tongues that they could utter..."
This is amazing - and it also shows how we should be as little children - meek and humble and full of righteousness so we open ourselves to receiving revelation and having our tongues loosed.
