Neo-orthodox revisionists claim that what is meant here by "after" is "in spite of".  That in fact "after" is not meant as a preposition of time.

I figured I could find the answer in LDS translations of the Book of Mormon online.  If "after" is supposed to mean "in spite of" then the LDS church would most certainly have translated it that way.

 

I speak Spanish so let's start there.  The spanish version of 2 Nefi 25:23 reads:

LDS translators overseen by the prophet, seer, and revelator are using the word "después", in Spanish.  This word is only ever used as a preposition of time.  Never "in spite of".

Here are some possible equivalent English words for "después":

 

I also have in my library a Spanish to Spanish dictionary

 

Spanish-Spanish Dictionary "Aristos", Editorial Ramon Sopena, S. A., Barcelona, 1978	Después. adv. Que denota posterioridad de tiempo, lugar o situacion, o en el orden, jeraquia o preferencia.
Google Translation of	Después. adv. Later denoting time, place or situation, or the order or preference hierarchies

 

If the intent of 2 Nephi 25:23 was "in spite of" then the LDS Spanish Book of Mormon would read "a pesar de" but it doesn't.  It reads "después de"
