2 Nephi 12

OK, first, I'm looking for an accurate citation. I've heard that the word "Utah" means "top of the mountains" in the Ute language, but can't find a reference (other than other folks just saying so, I'm open to posts here!!)

4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plow-shares, and their spears into pruning-hooks—nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
(Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 12:4)

I keep wishing for this day. But, I'm not convinced it'll happen in my lifetime. It feels like we have so far to go before we've accomplished enough. And yet, I'm hopeful that because I don't expect it, it will come BECAUSE we don't expect it...get what I mean?

22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for wherein is he to be accounted of?
(Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 12:22)

I'm not sure why I keep having to be reminded...I can pray and get answers, I don't need to search every man's opinion. It seems everytime I start reading the scriptures again, I get a strong impression to homeschool following my heart, meaning to not pick a set curriculum but to pick and choose prayerfully what each child will need to learn and experience. Yet, then I get nervous & I start reading every homeschooling book & then I get confused because everyone has a different theory, then I pray about which one I should use, and I get that strong impression to leave it alone & just go with the flow. I'll learn someday, I know I will. God must get so annoyed & frustrated with me sometimes. I'm just like my kids--I either dilly dally or out right defy. I keep pleading, "please obey, it is for the best!" and God keeps pleading, "please obey, it is for the best!" I will learn.

4 And I will give children unto them to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
(Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 13:4)

Personally, I can see this happening. It's about time kids got the upper hand. They are so great at not making an exception (if sugar isn't good for us, why do we eat it ater dinner? if we have to try something until we like it, you should, too...even if it is sprinkles--aren't you teaching us to like everything?)

5 And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor; the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honorable.
(Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 13:5)

This is occuring already. Neighbors afraid of each other, or afraid to be themselves based on what a neighbor might think. Children lacking respect for their elders, making fun of the elderly. Those who are, well, base, are definitely not respecting those who deserve it. It seems disrespect is everywhere. Manners are a thing of the past, the media bashes on almost anyform of leadership, people stop caring because they think all leaders are corrupt...I could go on, but I won't.

12 And my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them.
(Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 13:12)
Oh America, America. I feel like I could put America in place of Jerusalem and it would fit in Isaiah. I probably should expound here, but I lack time (kids & dinner call).
