Ether 8:22-26, 9:1-2

What we learned...

"The Lord was merciful unto Omer and his children who did not try to destroy him." (Shaylee)

"Moroni pointed out the Gentiles' sins unto them and said that if these murderous combinations shall get above them that the sword of justice will fall upon them." (Kenyon)

"Throughout the Book of Mormon we are warned against secret combinations as they still exist today, and we need to be careful." (Brandon)

"Akish and his friends overthrew Omer." (Jaron)

"Moroni was commanded to write these things that evil may be done away, and that the time may come that Satan may have no power upon the hearts of the children of men, but that they may be persuaded to do good continually, that they may come unto the fountain of all righteousness and be saved." (Maycee)

"If we read the Book of Mormon and learn from the things in it we can have the power to do good and resist Satan." (Mom)

"Moroni wrote about the secret combinations in the Book of Mormon because he was shown a vision of the last days and saw that we had many secret combinations also and to warn us and those who are involved in them to repent or else they will grown and overthrow the freedoms of all people and bring about their destruction because it is built up by the devil." (Dad)
