In this podcast we discuss how Nephi sees his vision of The Tree of Life throughout the history of three groups: The Nephites, Jews, and Gentiles. The main elements of the vision are all included: The Tree of Life, Rod of Iron, Mist of Darkness, Filthy River, and Great and Spacious Building.
For more about how the Tree of Life was understood in the Ancient Near East, see Geo Widengren’s work The King and the Tree of Life in Ancient Near Eastern Religion here.
