What effect does the storm have on the rebellious brethren?

Thomas R. Valletta

“The storm amounts to a spiritual sledgehammer, finally getting the brothers’ attention. Only when the situation was absolutely desperate did they make a connection between their plight and the binding of Nephi. They may not even have seen that binding Nephi caused the problem, only that he had demonstrated a connection with [Jehovah] in the past and that they now needed divine intervention” (Gardner, Second Witness, 1:318).
