This begins Nephi’s record of the same dream or vision his
father recounted in Chapter 8 regarding the Tree of Life. As Nephi’s record is more detailed and
informative, so to have our own testimony of things is better than having to
rely on someone else’s testimony.
In Nephi’s account of the Tree of Life dream/vision, we
learn that the great and spacious building represented the pride of the
world. I believe that all arguing, and
much if not all contention, has its root in pride. Let us shun the great and spacious building
and ignore its inhabitants and rid ourselves of pride. Let us turn to the Savior and ask His help to
rid ourselves of pride.
