I just recently saw the movie, "Escape From Germany." It is the retelling of the LDS Church getting all 29 of the missionaries out of Germany just prior to Hitler's invasion of Poland and the start of WW2. Talk about a modern-day escape! It's an incredibly uplifting story of how the Lord will help His people!
This Master Class is really a great way to study the scriptures and Come Follow Me. John Hilton iii is one of my favorite Gospel teachers. ❤ Thank you Brother Hilton!😊
I love this class! I love how you read the scriptures and analyze them helping us to liken them to ourselves. The clips from the videos are great too, as well as the testimonies from Members of the master class
You are one person who has made a difference in my life, John. I just finished reading your book Considering the Cross and found it so satisfying. I've always felt that when I saw a cross (whether on a building, monument or worn by a person) it was a symbol of gratitude and reverence for the greatest sacrifice ever made and for His infinite love. He still calls out to us to follow Him, even though all we like sheep have gone astray (at least in some way).
Brother Hilton thank you soo much for strengthening.I really need this. I know I trust in my God for I ha e seen His hand in every step of my life,I know of His goodness and kindness and compassion, I also know His judgements are just and right to all the faithfull. I just need to be more faithfull and continue trusting in His timing, He'll deliver me and it will be glorious, Many thanks for people like you. God bless you.
Brother Hilton’s Master Classes are so in depth and spiritual. Both this one and Finding Jesus have helped me understand gospel truth in a much fuller way. Make time to do these lessons. Thank you for sharing your heart, Brother Hilton.
This master class has been an amazing and awesome learning experience for me. I love that, even though I read the Book of Mormon every year, many years twice, I am learning new ways to understand this book of scripture. Thank you John Hilton, III.
Thank you for the insight you share! As an early morning seminary teacher I am thankful for your teaching insights and your stories that liken the scriptures to stories from our day! Great stories today!
Been sharing these because I love them! I really appreciate the mixture of summaries, insights, challenges, quotes, background info, personal stories, etc!
Fabulous class! Your insights are so well thought out and inspired. Thanks for all your time and preparation--and be sure to thank you wife and family too!
Excellent class and the examples were very complete and explanatory. Thank you for all the thought and study you put into each lesson. Peace and love abide with you 💕
I’m a big supporter of your UA-cam channel & your website! I recently got your book This Little Book of Christmas Spirit for my Kindle as well. Thank you for the amazing work that you do brother!
John is an amazing, inspired teacher! Thank you for sharing your testimony, teachings, and talents! I love your method of teaching and feel your passion and love for our Savior. Your teaching method resonates with me and deeply impacts me and my family.
John, THANK YOU SO MUCH for all your preparation and the amazing way you teach! It is such a help in my constant pursue of becoming a better teacher! May our God bless you greatly for all you are doing.
This message is particularly poignant for me right now. I just lost my sweet husband of 35 years on the 6th of this month. Relying upon the Lord to lead me through this difficult challenge has been imperative. There is no other way to get through this journey. Thank you for your amazing insight and teaching!❤
John HIlton III is great. I've learnt so much from your podcasts. I love listening and participating in your Master Class. thank you so much for imparting your knowledge to the rest of us.
We are going through a difficult time and feel "in bondage" to the trials. Although we have been praying, your teaching of this passage has encouraged me to pray more earnestly, humble myself more diligently, apply greater faith in the Lords timing and trust He will see us through this. This teaching came at such an important juncture in our story. Thank you!!!
It is like my husband and I. We were the only members of our families to join the Gospel. From us, our family, missionaries, genealogy…! On to the eternities! Really enjoy your lessons. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
♥️🙏🏻 Thank you for this deep insight and understanding of The One!!! Each one of us matters and can make a difference for good. You have…so grateful…..
We live in a time when many are in bondage to addictions. I feel like these chapters are so helpful in coming to understand how to escape and where that deliverance will come from.
This IS an intense organization! And we each will have to stand as a witness of God even until death, whether our death or someone we love. That is the plan, else what is the meaning of “stand as a witness” ? We all die and thus we all have the opportunity to stand as a witness of God at all times and in all things and in all places we may be in even until death.
I love the stories if Abinadi and Alma and rhe different ways the Lord helped them. Sometimes He helped them escape, and sometimes He strengthened them so they could endure. I have had so much help from the Lord in different ways and Im very grateful for the scriptures.
Brother Hilton,listen to the part of context between prophets and apostles I understand that we are put in each Dispensation for each others helping out one another. And family members and friends all circle back;Like Ones that really seek understanding and things that need to be past down and Better Clear more on the doctrines.. I am finding different videos popping up that show all through these days so many people are being touched by knowing just part of the truth, or getting confused as who came to them to open their eyes and they became believers in God and Jesus Christ. And I hope that more people will come to knowledgeable Truths ❤❤❤ 17:53
Excellent course of study! It is true that Abinadi probably died not knowing the impact of his teachings but, what do you think his reception into the spirit world was like? I believe that among his family and friends the Savior was there too giving him hugs and showing him the impact of his mission. Now speaking of the totally hypothetical realm of possibility. Brother Hilton, the idea of Abinadi being the angel that spoke to King Benjamin could mean that this was a plan to bring the people of Zarahemla, Limhi, and Alma together and have a common spiritual understanding! Again the proceeding thought is totally hypothetical but I wouldn’t put it past our amazing Father in Heaven to bless in such a way! Keep up the great work! 10:56
I loved what you taught about Abinadi and Benjamin. People do not always understand how important it is to know who his was and skip him. They focus on everything else and really pass quickly on Abinadi. This is what happened in the Sunday school I have attended, this year, on Mosiah 17-24. I was so disappointed. I am in my 60s. When I was young there were series or films where relying on God was taught. This is very seldom now. Most of victories are due to the strength (intellectual or physical) of men/women: God is no longer mentioned. So sad...
I am in a tiny group a couple from mainland visited our Church Sacrament. He said what a good impression he made walking and telling others on the beach why he was wearing a suit on a Sunday. I thought it would be better if they offered to serve a mission and go where they are called. It is easier to please ourselves how and where we serve.
Bro Hilton, recently I came across some ideas that I feel like go well with your idea of Abinadi being Benjamin’s angel. So in Omni 1:30 we read “And I, Amaleki, had a brother, who also went with them.” The speculation is that Abinadi is Amaleki’s brother both of them being sons of Abinadom. What’s interesting is that in Omni 1:25 it says “knowing king Benjamin to be a just man before the Lord, wherefore, I shall deliver up these plates unto him.” Amaleki was the one that gave the plates to King Benjamin. If these theories are true this family seems to care a lot about the safety of the plates and scared artifacts as well as the wellbeing of King Benjamin and the people. Seems like they have some authority and stewardship over the people and plates so it would make sense to me for Abinadi to deliver the message. Just an interesting idea I wanted to share.
I printed and read your essay on the Abinadi/Benjamin connection prior to seeing this video. Great information! Shared it with the adult CFM class. Thank you for your work to help us learn from a scholar’s point of view. Very cool
I'm not sure what playlist you're talking about... (?) If you subscribe to this channel it's likely that UA-cam will notify you when new videos are released.
Is mourning with those who mourn part of our baptismal covenant? I recently heard it wasn’t and reread Alma 18 closely and I can see the argument that Alma was asking as a prerequisite maybe but then moves on to the covenant after? I can see the argument but I was taught this my entire life. I also couldn’t find direct quotes from prophets saying it was. So I thought I’d turn to the covenant expert channel haha.
This is a great question! It's definitely part of what Alma mentions in Mosiah 18--clearly as believers in Jesus Christ, we are going to mourn with those who mourn. Is that technically part of the baptismal covenant? I'll have to look into this further to see if there are specific prophetic teachings on this.

My brother and his wife were in a basement apartment of an old house close to campus. They lost everything and what they tried to save was just a moldy mess 😬 It was amazing seeing how the community and student population came together though❤️
I just recently saw the movie, "Escape From Germany." It is the retelling of the LDS Church getting all 29 of the missionaries out of Germany just prior to Hitler's invasion of Poland and the start of WW2. Talk about a modern-day escape!

Yes! I loved that movie, a powerful story of deliverance
I hadn't made that connection, but that is a good one!

He protects us, our testimony, not our life or possessions.
I am in a tiny group a couple from mainland visited our Church Sacrament. He said what a good impression he made walking and telling others on the beach why he was wearing a suit on a Sunday. I thought it would be better if they offered to serve a mission and go where they are called. It is easier to please ourselves how and where we serve.
What island do you live on?
John Hilton is a wonderful teacher
I love these videos!

Aaaah that flood in Rexburg. Yeah, that wasn't fun for us when that happened 😬
I wasn't there, but it sounded very intense!!!
