1 Nephi 12:1-3 "land of promise" "sand" "wars"

Nephi's vision continues and he sees his posterity.  He sees the population explode and fill the land, he also sees the destruction that befalls his people as well.

A thought came to me as I looked at a special diagram that shows my ancestors back to the 9th generation.  Nephi saw that and so much more going forward.  And he saw the people, in their lands.  I only see names.  What an amazing thing.

Over the next few days I'll be looking to answer the subtle question, how does seeing these souls influence his understanding of the original question -- what does my father's dream mean?
