What is with building a semi submersible? It isn’t even logical.

What is with windows on the ship or what eventually becomes eight, light as a bird and tight as a dish ships? I presume this story takes place a few thousand years ago, so there would be no such thing as windows.

God spake or spoke or chided Jared for 3 hours? Was there a concept of hours in their day?

And what is with this Valley of Nimrod? Sounds like a familiar name... Thinking, thinking. /s

Chapter one is a composite of the Tower of Babylon, Confounded by perfunctory condfoundedness of contrivances!

Nephites? Was the neophyte in use then?
Etymology: “new convert,” c.1550, from L.L. neophytus, from Gk. neophytos, lit. “newly planted,” from neos “new” + -phytos “planted,” verbal adj. of phyein “cause to grow, beget, plant.” Church sense is from I Tim. iii.6. Rare before 19c. General sense of “one who is new to any subject” is first recorded 1599.

Well that is just interesting.

Ether 3:25 And when the Lord had said these words, he ashowed unto the brother of Jared ball the inhabitants of the earth which had been, and also all that would be; and he cwithheld them not from his sight, even unto the ends of the earth. Uhm, okay and for what purpose did God choose to play Christmas Past and Christmas future? There is no follow up or reason given for why God would do this for the brother of Jared.

Why is Moroni referred to as a distant character or brother of Jared? Wouldn’t the story be simpler and more direct to say
“And the Lord commanded “Moroni” to go down out of the mount from the presence of the Lord, and write the things which he had seen; and they were forbidden to come unto the children of men cuntil after that he should be lifted up upon the cross; and for this cause did king Mosiah keep them, that they should not come unto the world until after Christ should show himself unto his people”.

I mean what is this? the story of the burning bush and some guy with tablets. It sounds familiar. But these guys were on the mount Shelem? Well Shazam and Shalom for Baruk atah Adonai....

Where is Mount Shelem anyway. Never heard of it.

I am in the 4th chapter and so far the story skips from the first person to third person narratives.

Ether 3:16 And then shall my revelations which I have caused to be written by my servant John be unfolded in the eyes of all the people. Remember, when ye see these things, ye shall know that the time is at hand that they shall be made manifest in very deed.

Wow, end times indeed.

Matthew 24:5 “For many will come in my name, saying, I am Christ, and will mislead many.”

Matthew 24:11 “And many false prophets will arise, and will mislead many.”

Odd?
