If the daughters of Ishmael "were desirous to return again to Jerusalem" (1 Nephi 16:36), can we surmise that the destruction of Jerusalem had not taken place yet? Why would these daughters want to return when according to Spackman they left during a respite in the siege? Had enough time already passed to where Jerusalem was now destroyed? This verse needs to be explained in terms of Randall Spackman's chronological theory. [Alan C. Miner, Personal Notes]
