Reflection: Circa 580s B.C., in the ancient Americas, a descendant from the Tribe of Manasseh,* made this observation about people and patterns. Are we now repeating the rejection? Is our culture and academia manifesting this?
7 For the things which some men esteem to be of great worth, both to the body and soul, others set at naught and trample under their feet. Yea, even the very God of Israel do men trample under their feet; I say, trample under their feet but I would speak in other words—they set him at naught, and hearken not to the voice of his counsels.**-----------------------------------------------/
*Book of Mormon | Alma 10:3
3 And Aminadi was a descendant of Nephi, who was the son of Lehi, who came out of the land of Jerusalem, who was a descendant of Manasseh, who was the son of Joseph who was sold into Egypt by the hands of his brethren.
**Book of Mormon | 1 Nephi 19:7
