Opposition in All things

So my husband and I were reading about the Tree of Life vision in 1 Nephi and I realized that there is opposites all throughout the dream. (I didn't realize this until Nephi sees it in 1 Nephi 11.) Anyway, so you have the Tree of Life and the Great and Spacious Building...you have the fountain of Living Water (first found in chapter 11) and the river...you have the iron rod and the mists of darkness. I thought that this was so interesting that I would share it on my blog. It truly brings light to the scripture, "For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my first-born in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither sense nor insensibility." (2 Nephi 2:11)
