“The Branch Had Withered Away and Died”

Brant Gardner

In this verse the historical event to which the allegorical overrunning refers is a literal, a military, overrunning. At the end of the Book of Mormon the people o Nephi are under serious attack. The attack by the Lamanites will be sufficient to destroy the Nephites, the analog of the branch that withered and died.
