2 Nephi 28:19  (Brandon)

Q:   Why is the Lord causing the wicked to shake and tremble? (Dad)

A:   "They need to be shaken up to be loosed from the devil's grasp." (Brandon)  "Exactly. The Lord wants to save the wicked, and He will result do whatever He can to get them to repent, and if they won't do it the easy way by choosing to repent He will do it the hard way by having them suffer through difficult things to try to humble them to repent before it's too late. We all will go through hard times, even the righteous. That's a part of life and being tested if we'll be true to God in all circumstances. But the wicked bring upon themselves even more trials and adversities that they would have gone through otherwise in order to try and compel them to repent. So we should do things the easier way, which is also the way of peace and happiness, by following the Lord's way."  (Dad)
