"At the time Jacob gave his speech in 2 Nephi 6-10, the Nephites had already been driven from two lands of inheritance and felt an ongoing concern of being cut off from God's promises. Belnap illustrates that Jacob's speech answers these concerns through emphasizing and expounding on the covenantal relationship made possible by God acting as the Divine Warrior. Jacob quotes Isaiah passages in his discourse and in some instance makes his own additions to emphasize important aspects. He illustrates how the Divine Warrior provides the hardships, knowledge, and power for an individual to become a divine warrior, and he discusses the Divine Warrior's defeat over the monster of Death. The promises made by the Divine Warrior can provide hope and assurance to all." [abstract provided]
