This is a war chapter and we have reached the point to where the Nephites begin their final downward spiral to defeat and annihilation. They will continually be defeated and on the run from the Lamanites who now sacrifice Nephite women and children to idols and false gods. C. S Lewis said this, “ The possibility of pain is inherent in the very existence of a world where souls can meet. When souls become wicked they will certainly use this possibility to hurt one another; and this, perhaps, accounts for four-fifths of the suffering of men. It is men, not God, who have produced racks, whips, prisons, slavery, guns, bayonets, and bombs; it is by human avarice or human stupidity, not by the churlishness of nature, that we have poverty and overwork.”
Mormon’s top priority now is the records and he removes all of them from the hill Shim and in order to be sure they remain protected. Moroni will eventually assume that role when his father his killed.
