2 Nephi 24

Chapter 24

Israel will be gathered and will enjoy millennial rest—Lucifer was cast out of heaven for rebellion—Israel will triumph over Babylon (the world)—Compare Isaiah 14. About 559–545 B.C

It's nice to have some uplifting words in this chapter. There will be rest for the weary, and Lucifer will be bound. That, to me, is an exciting notion.

But, beyond the Second Coming, I think this can apply to certain times during our lives today.  There are tough times, and our mistakes, bad choices and trial can really take a toll.  But, I think the God has mercy on us and allows us times of peace to recoup and strengthen.  I also think that during those times, He protects us a little more than normal from the affects of the Adversary.  At least, I have felt that in my life.
