Welcome to Part 2 with Dr. Matthew Bowen,

0:04.0

Jacob, Chapter 5 through 7.

0:07.2

So I'm at the second section, 15 through 28.

0:09.8

If I'm looking at this chart that John showed us in the manual. It's the time of Christ. I've got lots of good fruit.

0:17.5

Even the wild fruit is becoming good. You've got the Nephites and Lamanites,

0:22.2

verse 25. Part of the tree is good, part of the tree is bad.
