Begin by reading 2 Nephi 13 and 14. Choose key verses that stand out to you to discuss as a family. These scriptures are about how Judah and Jerusalem will be punished for their disobedience. Complete the compare and contrast activity provided in the materials.
As you continue to read in 2 Nephi, discuss some of the signs of the last days or some of the warnings Isaiah gave. Write down these ideas on the scroll provided. Let children stand on a stool, wear the beard, hold the scroll, and read aloud like the prophet Isaiah to warn the wicked.
Next, teach about how the Millennium will be a time of peace and joy. You can use the animal scene in your materials to help children understand. Teach that animals that don’t get along now will one day be at peace with each other during the Millennium. Close the lesson by singing Peace in Christ. See your summary sheet for a link to the song.
One of the bonus lessons this week is to talk about the temple being the House of the Lord. Share your experience of being married in the temple. Help the children create the 3D Temple. Let them put figures in and out of the temple pretending to go to the temple someday.
Use the Spin It Game to talk about different ways we can gain knowledge from the world and from God. Read Day 2 on your summary page for more details on this bonus idea.
(For those with a workbook there is a corrected Spin it Game file in the download section of your account)
Read 2 Nephi 25:23-26 and use the coloring page to memorize verse 26.
See your summary sheet for more details on the lesson and bonus activities as well as a QR code for the song Peace in Christ that goes along with the lesson.

Joseph’s forgiveness of his brothers did not come after they had paid restitution or offered an apology. He forgave them the moment he realized they had changed from their jealous ways when they offered themselves in place of Benjamin for punishment. How overwhelming it must have been for Joseph to see such love amongst his brothers. His forgiveness came with no strings attached: “be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves” (Genesis 45:5).
In every moment of Joseph’s story, God was with him. From his brothers’ betrayal and serving Potiphar, to a friend of Pharaoh and the savior of his family, at no time was Joseph forgotten by God. Through the good and the bad, he trusted that God knew who he was and had faith that everything would be all right.
Abraham’s posterity was promised many blessings of eternal significance, but that didn’t mean everything would be perfect. His grandsons, Jacob and Esau, fought over who should inherit their father’s birthright. Relatives lied to and tricked each other. The prophet’s very own family was dysfunctional, yet that didn’t stop those who were righteous from striving to follow Jesus Christ.
