Whenever I am stumped as to what to teach the 10/11-yr-olds for the week [every week], which will captivate as well as entertain them, and get the point across so well that they will easily learn the concept and be able to apply it to their lives, all I need to do is listen to your podcast and it falls into place. Thank you for all you do and for your enlightenment.

Another aspect of overcoming the power and influence of secret combinations is found in D&C section 123 where we are told it is an “imperative duty” we owe to many including the rising generation as well as a prerequisite to calling forth God’s power in our defense against evil, that we “ waste and wear out our lives in bringing to light all the hidden powers of darkness wherein we know them.” Secret combinations and conspiracies cannot thrive in society when they are exposed by the light of truth.
As you spoke of the unprecedented attack on Zarahemla, I thought to myself, “What am I doing today to prepare for Satan’s attacks? Especially those I don’t expect?” I’ve seen major fallout from just those attacks on areas of my life that I would never have anticipated, precisely because I thought I was safe. I didn’t take those attacks seriously at the time and it cost me dearly, and could have destroyed more had I not woken up and put on my armor. I’m so grateful for the Atonement of Jesus Christ that helped me change my heart and repair my mistakes.
I enjoy listening and learning from your classes. It is easy for me to stay focused as you share the truths you have acquired. This helps my family and me to actually enjoy studying The Book of Mormon. What a blessing it is to have a personal testimony that The Book of Mormon is a second witness of Jesus Christ.😊
Many years ago we were on our way to a wedding. On the way I got the message that we would be making the wedding cake. Someone else was doing it so we were not concerned but when I got the message I told my husband. Immediately we began discussing and designing. When we arrived the day before the wedding I found out that the person making the cake had pulled out. I told her that it was taken care off and went to the store immediately. There was a beautiful cake for the wedding the next day.
Thank you, THANK YOU, for mentioning the cement! The Book of Mormon keeps proving itself over and over. Joseph Smith said that he wouldn’t have to prove the truthfulness of The Book of Mormon: The people would do it!! And LDS/Non LDS alike are doing it!!! ❤
I love your take on these stories and your ability to apply them to our situation. I also really appreciate the link to modern day prophets. I look forward to these every week. I even like the jokes after a while.
Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into your videos! They are a fantastic resource for me to study the scriptures and bring to light many aspects I may have otherwise missed.
Wonderful book I love each book, each one teaches us so many lessons and today we see things every day just like in these books. If you don't, look and listen more to those in your church, What these members are living through. Long insurance and short term things that come across our path. I try to keep emergency care medical packages for different members that have own vehicles. Food in boxes even though I am living with my family members who don't believe in my faith I continue with studying and prayers 🙏 12:04
Thank you for the insights about fighting secret combinations using a combination of: teaching the Gospel, using the legal system, and developing policies to strengthen families. Quite 4 focus on one of them (for me, it was preaching the Gospel), but it takes effort in all of those areas to work.
The Rock of Our Redeemer” is a phrase from the Book of Mormon, Helaman 5:12, which states that people who build their lives on Jesus Christ, the Son of God, will have the strength to resist evil and stay faithful. The prophet Helaman compares Satan's attacks to a storm with hail and powerful winds, and says that people who build their foundation on Christ will be able to withstand these attacks without being dragged down into misery. Helaman promises that people cannot fall if they build their foundation on Christ, no matter what Satan throws at them. Some say that people can strengthen their foundation by making and keeping covenants, which can give them faith and hope in Christ. Others suggest that people can recognize Christ as "the rock of our Redeemer" and seek his enduring love
There was Adobe, and the ancients built with stone cemented together. What the ancients called cement might have been the Adobe buildings found in the South West.
I don't think Nephi lost the election. Verse four says he yielded up the judgment seat because he was tired of the people's iniquity and wanted to go and preach the gospel (just like his great-grandpa Alma did ...Alma 4:15-20), or verse one says he delivered it up (gave it to) to Cezoram...An over-due concern, and as a spiritual leader can only move under divine promptings to align himself with the principles of God to find the ONE...The value of souls is great in the sight of God as there is now spiritual sickness all over the land. But, I love your perspectives and insights and am still following 💯
I learn so much from your Master Classes and look forward to them. Thank you for all your preparation and efforts to teach us all. Some corrections (if I may): on the slide of secret combinations (time 35:25) my Book of Mormon does not have a Helaman 2:17 ("The purpose of secret combinations....), and another good reference for 'Secret combinations use covenants to do evil' is Helaman 6:21. Are you testing me to see if I pay attention to your lessons? Best wishes
in relation to the Gadianton robbers or secret combinations (today we would call them terrorists), you mention that we do not have to fear them etc.. On the other hand it needs to be mentioned that such terrorists etc. were at the end eradicated by physical force. Nephite and Lamanite combined armies destroyed those secrect combination physically. See 3. Ne. chapter 4 and other places.
Except that while traveling west Joseph Smith said they were travelling over the plains of the Nephites, and even found the remains of someone he said was a great nephite leader
@@JasonPaull brother, 🤦♂️ this was a joke. The ai image showed them as being Latino, Mexican judging by the apparel. So the joke was that if Pahoran and brothers are Mexican then the BoM has to take place in Mexico aka Mesoamerican model. It was a joke. This has nothing to do with my actual opinion on BoM geography. Obviously an ai image being actual evidence is a joke. That’s why it was supposed to be funny lol.
I’m Mexican and every time we talk about secret combinations, to my mind comes things like drug lords, witch craft, etc. That way haven’t changed, my sister she isn’t a member of the church so she can tell me a bunch of things. One day she cami to visit from Mexico I live in Logan Utah. We went to Bear Lake and my cousin and I had a little accident in the lake, after a couple hrs. I heard my sister yelling my name so I was like “ I’m right here “ she told me your body is here but your soul is in the water. I told her my body and my soul are together because I’m still alive.
Read through the chapter heading of Ether Chapter 8. Also study Ether 8:18-26. Read the talk “I Testify” by Ezra Taft Benson. These share vital info about secret combinations.
During my mission one of my companion had an other interpretation: Satan attacks the center of something, like the family or like our marriage, or ....
@31:50 asked if 2 nephi 9:9 is describing the same as how the mission of nephi is described in obtaining the plates from Laban, with exactness. Nephi claims to be lead by the spirit knowing not what to do, and yet we know several hefty, core doctrinal scriptures which testify how the spirit is affixed to the principle of providing light, knowledge, clarity, and intelligence. Thus a spirit leading with a stupor of thought is suspect of being one not of God but disguised as an angel of light. And thus we see that a secret combination was first mentioned in the book of mormon in 1 nephi.
What if the Nephites did live in Mexico, but moved north. How far North? I suspect they did move into the Missouri valley and even farther north and east.
In the 39th minute, regarding President Hinkley's words. I do not believe he was referring to AQ..... I would strongly urge anyone to not just associate GRs with the sterotypical groups M Russell Ballard mentioned.

I am lost, I looked up the nephites & it says this - member of a people descended from Nephi, a son of the Jewish prophet Lehi who led a colony from Jerusalem to America about 600 b.c. organized as a church by the risen Christ, and exterminated by the Lamanites leaving the scriptures recorded in the Book of Mormon. Question, How could someone organise a church for the risen Christ when he went to America 600yrs before Christ was born?
I think that there is a missing comma. Lehi left in 600 BC, the Nephites formed a church in anticipation of Christ's Coming, and then, in about the year 34 AD, after his resurrection, Jesus Christ came and established his church among them. You can find more resources here: www.churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist
Brother Hilton I am very disturbed because some people now proclaim that they are descendent of Jesus Christ. You are a highly educated religion person. Do you believe that Jesus had children, that he married? Please help me to understand this. Thank you Lucie Mottola
Joseph Smith is a direct descendant of Jesus Christ as well as many of the other early church leaders. I’ll find a reference and post it. But here is a quote from Jedediah M. Grant who was a counselor to Brigham Young as well as the father of Heber J. Grant (who unfortunately didn’t live up to the expectations of his father) "What does old Celsus say, who was a physician in the first century, whose medical works are esteemed very highly at the present time. His works on theology were burned with fire by the Catholics, they were so shocked at what they called their impiety. Celsus was a heathen philosopher; and what does he say upon the subject of Christ and his Apostles, and their belief? He says, 'The grand reason why the Gentiles and philosophers of his school persecuted Jesus Christ, was, because he had so many wives; there were Elizabeth, and Mary, and a host of others that followed him.' After Jesus went from the stage of action, the Apostles followed the example of their master. For instance, John the beloved disciple, writes in his second Epistle, 'Unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth.' Again, he says, 'Having many things to write unto you (or communicate), I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.' Again-'The children of thy elect sister greet thee.' This ancient philosopher says they were both John's wives. Paul says, 'Mine answer to them that do examine me is this ... Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas.' He, according to Celsus, had a numerous train of wives. The grand reason of the burst of public sentiment in anathemas upon Christ and his disciples, causing his crucifixion, was evidently based upon polygamy, according to the testimony of the philosophers who rose in that age. A belief in the doctrine of a plurality of wives caused the persecution of Jesus and his followers. We might almost think they were 'Mormons.'" (Jedediah M. Grant, JD 1:345-346)
Here are some quotes from early church leaders concerning the bloodline of Jesus Christ (there are many more but here are a few. I numbered them so you can distinguish when one begins and one ends.) #1. In a solemn assembly held in the Salt Lake Temple, July 2, 1899, more information pertaining to the descendants of Christ was devulged. The Apostle George Q. Cannon made the disclosure after which the President of the Church, Lorenzo Snow, confirmed his statement: President George Q. Cannon also spoke on the law of tithing. Among the other things, he said, “There are those in this audience who are descendants of the old Twelve Apostles-and shall I say it, yes, descendants of the Savior Himself. His seed is represented in this body of men. Following Pres. Cannon, President Snow arose and said that what Bro. Cannon had stated respecting the literal descendants among this company of the old apostles and the Savior himself is true-the Savior’s seed is represented in this body of men. (Journal of Pres. Rudger Clawson, pp. 374-375) #2 Are you ever going to be prepared to see God, Jesus Christ, His angels, or comprehend His servants, unless you take a faithful and prayerful course? Did you actually know Joseph Smith? No. Do you know Brother Brigham? No. Do you know Brother Heber? No, you do not. Do you know the Twelve? You do not; if you did, you would begin to know God, and learn that those men who are chosen to direct and counsel you are near kindred to God and Jesus Christ, for the keys, power, and authority of the kingdom of God are in that lineage. (Heber C. Kimball, J.D. 4:248) #3. In Heber, his character, manner and methods-we say it reverently-there was much of the Christ; the might of the lion, with the meekness of the lamb. His, also, was the Savior’s lineage; in his heart a kindred spirit, in his veins the self-same blood. Where causes are similar, should there not spring similar results? (Life of Heber C. Kimball, p. 185) #4. We say it was Jesus Christ who was married, to be brought into the relation whereby he could see his seed, before He was crucified. “Has he indeed passed by the nature of angels, and taken upon himself the seed of Abraham, to die without leaving a seed to bear his name on the earth?” No. But when the secret is fully out, the seed of the blessed shall be gathered in, in the last days; and he who has not the blood of Abraham flowing in his veins, who has not one particle of the Savior’s in him, I am afraid is a stereotyped Gentile, who will be left out and not be gathered in the last days; for I tell you it is the chosen of God, the seed of the blessed, that shall be gathered. I do not despise to be called a son of Abraham, if he had a dozen wives; or to be called a brother, a son, a child of the Savior, if he had Mary, and Martha, and several others, as wives; and though he did cast seven devils out of one of them, it is all the same to me. Well, then, he shall see his seed, and who shall declare his generation, for he was cut off from the earth? I shall say here, that before the Savior died, he looked upon his own natural children, as we look upon ours; he saw his seed, and immediately afterwards he was cut off from the earth; but who shall declare his generation? They had no father to hold them in honorable remembrance; they passed into the shades of obscurity, never to be exposed to mortal eye as the seed of the blessed one. For no doubt had they been exposed to the eye of the world, those infants might have shared the same fate as the children in Jerusalem in the days of Herod, when all the children were ordered to be slain under such an age, with the hopes of slaying the infant Savior. History is replete with circumstances of neck-or-nothing politicians dyeing their hands in the blood of those who stood in their way to the throne or to power. [98]That seed has had its influence upon the chosen of God in the last days. The same spirit inspires them that inspires their father, who bled and died upon the cross after the manner of the flesh. (Orson Hyde, J.D. 2:82-83) Hope this helps. The Journal of Discourses are a great resource if you ever have a question on doctrine or want to know the truth. 🙏🏼

Another aspect of overcoming the power and influence of secret combinations is found in D&C section 123 where we are told it is an “imperative duty” we owe to many including the rising generation as well as a
prerequisite to calling forth God’s power in our defense against evil, that we “ waste and wear out our lives in bringing to light all the hidden powers of darkness wherein we know them.” Secret combinations and conspiracies cannot thrive in society when they are exposed by the light of truth.

Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas.' He, according to Celsus, had a numerous train of wives. The grand reason of the burst of public sentiment in anathemas upon Christ and his disciples, causing his crucifixion, was evidently based upon polygamy, according to the testimony of the philosophers who rose in that age. A belief in the doctrine of a plurality of wives caused the persecution of Jesus and his followers. We might almost think they were 'Mormons.'" (Jedediah M. Grant, JD 1:345-346)
Here are some quotes from early church leaders concerning the bloodline of Jesus Christ (there are many more but here are a few. I numbered them so you can distinguish when one begins and one ends.)
#1. In a solemn assembly held in the Salt Lake Temple, July 2, 1899, more information pertaining to the descendants of Christ was devulged. The Apostle George Q. Cannon made the disclosure after which the President of the Church, Lorenzo Snow, confirmed his statement:
President George Q. Cannon also spoke on the law of tithing. Among the other things, he said, “There are those in this audience who are descendants of the old Twelve Apostles-and shall I say it, yes, descendants of the Savior Himself. His seed is represented in this body of men.
Following Pres. Cannon, President Snow arose and said that what Bro. Cannon had stated respecting the literal descendants among this company of the old apostles and the Savior himself is true-the Savior’s seed is represented in this body of men. (Journal of Pres. Rudger Clawson, pp. 374-375)
#2 Are you ever going to be prepared to see God, Jesus Christ, His angels, or comprehend His servants, unless you take a faithful and prayerful course? Did you actually know Joseph Smith? No. Do you know Brother Brigham? No. Do you know Brother Heber? No, you do not. Do you know the Twelve? You do not; if you did, you would begin to know God, and learn that those men who are chosen to direct and counsel you are near kindred to God and Jesus Christ, for the keys, power, and authority of the kingdom of God are in that lineage. (Heber C. Kimball, J.D. 4:248)
#3. In Heber, his character, manner and methods-we say it reverently-there was much of the Christ; the might of the lion, with the meekness of the lamb. His, also, was the Savior’s lineage; in his heart a kindred spirit, in his veins the self-same blood. Where causes are similar, should there not spring similar results? (Life of Heber C. Kimball, p. 185)
#4. We say it was Jesus Christ who was married, to be brought into the relation whereby he could see his seed, before He was crucified. “Has he indeed passed by the nature of angels, and taken upon himself the seed of Abraham, to die without leaving a seed to bear his name on the earth?” No. But when the secret is fully out, the seed of the blessed shall be gathered in, in the last days; and he who has not the blood of Abraham flowing in his veins, who has not one particle of the Savior’s in him, I am afraid is a stereotyped Gentile, who will be left out and not be gathered in the last days; for I tell you it is the chosen of God, the seed of the blessed, that shall be gathered. I do not despise to be called a son of Abraham, if he had a dozen wives; or to be called a brother, a son, a child of the Savior, if he had Mary, and Martha, and several others, as wives; and though he did cast seven devils out of one of them, it is all the same to me.
Well, then, he shall see his seed, and who shall declare his generation, for he was cut off from the earth? I shall say here, that before the Savior died, he looked upon his own natural children, as we look upon ours; he saw his seed, and immediately afterwards he was cut off from the earth; but who shall declare his generation? They had no father to hold them in honorable remembrance; they passed into the shades of obscurity, never to be exposed to mortal eye as the seed of the blessed one. For no doubt had they been exposed to the eye of the world, those infants might have shared the same fate as the children in Jerusalem in the days of Herod, when all the children were ordered to be slain under such an age, with the hopes of slaying the infant Savior.
History is replete with circumstances of neck-or-nothing politicians dyeing their hands in the blood of those who stood in their way to the throne or to power.
[98]That seed has had its influence upon the chosen of God in the last days. The same spirit inspires them that inspires their father, who bled and died upon the cross after the manner of the flesh. (Orson Hyde, J.D. 2:82-83)
