“I Did Exhort Them to Give Heed Unto the Word of the Lord”

W. Cleon Skousen

When Nephi explained that the rod of iron in Lehi's dream represented the word of God or the scriptures, it gave him an excuse to really lay out the doctrine of repentance on his apostate brothers. Notice that he preached to them with all the energies of his soul and all the power of his faculties.
