Went to the temple this morning. My life and wife's lives changed back in 2018 when we decided to sacrifice our comforts where our ancestors had to sacrifice of their needs in order to goto the temple. We sacrifice sleep and go early weekly and it has been a game changer for us spiritually and being lead by the Spirit.
@@SongMom8 hoping to be living better then that. They along with any true worshiper worth their salt looked forward to Christ coming and the restoration of Zion.
I really enjoyed your commentary on Elder Bednar's talk. I was at The Rose bowl when President Benson said that this was the generation who will meet the Savior❤❤
Thanks for your insites. I've also wondered if Covid could be the desolating plague, but I didn't see the link to temple worship that you pointed out. I like that. Two notes: Not only did Elder Bednar connect us to the times of Helaman, but he specifically drew our attention to the moment of Samuel the Lamanite. I think that's significant though I'm still puzzling over who our Sanuel the Lamanite is. (I'm leaning to saying it's the Book of Mormon). Other point, there is another event in Helaman, after Samuel, that lasted 7 years that required all the believers to rely on gathered up supplies. If you read the talks of President Kimball you realize that the initial reason for the food storage program was a future event on a level far beyond what we've experienced so far-- and, as pionted out by Hannah Stoddard with the Joseoh Smith Foundation, the original recommendations for food storage was for a 7 years supply as well.
Thank you and I'm glad that I could be helpful. I just study what they say, and try to listen to the spirit. That's all, I think everyone could do it, and they might get slightly different messages out of it.
Thank you for your insights. It is a blessing that you take the time and make the effort to spread the gospel and assist others in understanding the gospel. Keep up the great work.
You are correct. In 1981 , I was 21 years old. I am now 74yo. I remember listening to President Benson at General Conference. I met him when I was about 17 yo. My dad was called to be on the Stake High Council and President Benson set him apart for that calling. He was not a large man, maybe 5’10” that I recall. He had a very nice smile, and he was very humble. His son,Mark, was also set apart on the Stake High Council that day.
If you go back in the 1970’s to General Conference talks those Leaders were straight forward and upfront about the gospel and how to live it! Im sure the brethren today have to be very careful how they say things not to offend every living soul!
THANK YOU FOR THAT BEAUTIFUL MESSAGE. JUST DISCOVERED YOUR CHANNEL TODAY. Our new temple in our area is almost ready. Can't hardly wait so I can go weekly.
I have felt prompted to share on my social media, about a particular person who I believe is leading others away and masquerades as member so you trust them. So I am prayerfully studying what apostles have said on the matter, so I can boldly call out the teachings (not the person) . But not come across as attacking those who are being influenced. I pray the spirit will help guide me convey the right message.
@@zacm6826 Good point, Dr.Julie Hanks. There apparently even is a test that if you put her into Instagram, people you know who have left the church follow her… ‘’know them by their fruits comes to mind’’.
Excellent video. Thank you! Your insights were really helpful in working through this talk. I've been busy studying President Nelson's (and nowhere close to finished) and haven't made it to Elder Bednar's yet. I shared this quote on another video today, but your video also brought it to mind when you were talking about President Nelson saying, "In coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without the guiding, directing, comforting and constant influence of the Holy Ghost." It is from Heber C. Kimball. __________ "The time will come when no man nor woman will be able to endure on borrowed light. Each will have to be guided by the light within himself. If you do not have it, how can you stand? Do you believe it? 'How is it now? You have the First Presidency, from whom you can get counsel to guide you, and you rely on them. The time will come when they will not be with you. Why? Because they will have to flee and hide up to keep out of the hands of their enemies. You have the Twelve now. You will not always have them, for they too will be hunted and will have to keep out of the way of their enemies. You have other men to whom you look for counsel and advice. Many of them will not be amongst you, for the same reason. You will be left to the light within yourselves. If you don't have it you will not stand; therefore seek for the testimony of Jesus and cleave to it, that when the trying time comes you may not stumble and fall."
Wow thank you for sharing that. Personal revelation is so important and being able to part the veil. I'm trying to help others be able to start growing that tree of faith. And helping them to recognize the Spirit.
@@Rise_Zion You're doing great. You have great insights and an engaging presentation that brings the Spirit. Keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to hearing much more from you! (And commenting on your videos to help your algorithm. 😄)
@@Rise_Zion thank you for interacting with the comments. I'm a UA-camr also and am trying to help and serve several other channels but they are only liking comments not interacting and responding besides. Hello from Melissa from Idaho
@@CatchTheBuzz1 You bet! I'll try to as much as I can but when I start getting thousands of comments it can be difficult to reply. Thank you again, I think I may have seen you on Christian Homestead at one point?
The angel that appeared next to me from a portal said, 'David, you are a son of God". The pale, blonde haired, blue eyed little girl a gifted lady has seen in visions, sometimes with Jesus, wants us to name her Eva Rose. I saw her once after I figured something out and I heard her say "you're so smart Daddy, and I love you". Images of a past life in ancient Greece; I died at Thermopylae. I had red hair.
I believe our present day Samuel the Lamanite has come forth. God follows certain patterns, and his prophecies were forgotten, until Christ said to write them down. I suspect we are within 5-10 years of Christ's coming.
If we will not see the one taken here, and one taken there. Don't run in the field, etc. When is this suppose to happen? Kind of like the events described as the rapture, even though we don't call it that.
I'm not sure, some have suggested that it will literally be a remnant of Laminates who have yet to be discovered. Others have suggested that it might be people in Africa, where the church is growing rapidly because of their incredible faith. It might be a combination of things. I tend to think that this event might lead to the Great Separation which will essentially sift those people who are willing to live their covenants in Zion, as opposed to those who are not in Zion.
There are multiple layers of meaning. On a surface level reading, one might assume Elder Bednar said to not be prideful, it is true. However upon further investigation additional layers become revealed. The same as with parables. Why did Jesus hide the true meaning of his parables? To reveal only the level of truth the listener is able to handle. And to encourage deeper thought.
I make reference to Ezra Taft Benson identifying the generation to see the Lord at his second coming. While every prophet prophecies of the coming of Christ, Ezra Taft Benson identifying the specific generation is important.
Brighamites disregard scripture like an old comic book. Biblical platitudes are not prophecy. We can all See what is coming. Policy is not prophecy. Jeremiah 23 is very clear. “…in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly. 21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. 22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.”
Specifically these so called prophets are NOT prophesying, revealing or seeing anything. Brighamites is a loaded title - Emma and Lucy and Joseph’s family did not fall for Brigham’s dishonest sales pitch to simply be the church’s custodian until Joseph III was old enough to lead the Church - nor did Emma support Brigham’s doctrine of polygamy that he tried to pin on Joseph.
3Nephi4:16 the Gadiaton robbers cut off the people of nephi, hemming them in on every side, cutting them off from their privileges for several years. Similar to government imposed pandemic restrictions.
My chapel is full of unrighteous men and women who claim to be following Christ but treat others cruelly, and who are doing things that violate both God's law and the laws of the land. I have a very difficult time worrying about those outside the church or those who are openly questioning the church. I find the hypocrites and liars sitting in my ward every Sunday far more scary and dangerous. The G.A.s keep telling them how wonderful they are. They are not.
It can be true that there are some not very nice people in our wards. It sounds like you've been particularly unlucky. My ward there are a lot of very good people, we all need to repent though. I find that to be the case in most places.
That truly does not sound edifying at all and very unfortunate. I remember for a few talks given in conferences these last few years that everyone is at a different stage of the Atonement and Covenant Path. Elder Holland talked about a man who said if “I stumble along the way like a drunken man, but I’m heading a long the right path, don’t condemn the path I walk on, even if it’s clumsy.” We get credit for trying. I’ve been hurt by members before, but I do my best to forgive them to keep my focus on the Savior. Everything else is inconsequential.
“Your chapel” hmm, worrying about those non members and members questioning, hypocrites and liars are scary and dangerous. I guess I would invite you listen to Elder Bednars talk on pride as you sit in judgment of your fellow struggling members and supersede your lofty standing placing yourself above the Apostles of God. I need patient leaders. I need leaders with Christlike love, compassion and mercy. I need leaders who will look at me as Christ does, standing by to take down the road blocks that separate me from him. I don’t need cynical leaders who see me struggling and do nothing but cast judgment. I’m not trying to be mean or disrespectful, but I’m thankful I’m not in your ward.
Well there is only one way to know for certain, and that is asking of God. I believe that Joseph Smith was referring to a certain generation, he didn't specify which. Ezra Taft Benson did mention the generation. But we shall do more research on this topic and do a video. I know this is a common concern, and I don't believe that the specific generation was ever given except for in very few circumstances. And in those cases it is rather explicit and exciting!!!
The general authorities don't put secret codes or embedded messages in theialks. Their talks are inspired and straightforward, and they are given in love and the spirit is always powerful. No secret codes. No embeddded messages. When you start talking secret codes and embedded messages Iam gone. Good-bye
A prophecy being fulfilled right now?? It is true. If you knew of the prophecy, you would recognize it by what's going on right now in our country. The Constitution will hang from a thread... Sound Familiar?
RiseZion, I read Matthew 13: 11-13. The Savior taught in parables because they were simple, plain, and easy to understand by those he taught. They understood clearly, but those who didn't care about what the Savior had to say or were against him heard talking. They heard him talking about harvesting wheat and tares and what would happen if the seeds were planted in good soil or bad. So, those who didn't care about what the Savior had to say or were against him felt no threat because to them, they were being taught about growing and harvesting wheat. But to those he was teaching, he wasn't teaching them how to grow and harvest wheat, but using harvesting wheat as an example to teach gospel principles. Isaiah did the same thing. You said my statement about a prophecy being filled right now was false. No, it is not false. It is 100% true. I have a book I purchased at Deseret Book. It is called "The Second Coming of the Lord" by Gerald N. Lund. I don't know where you live. But if you live near a Deseret Book, I strongly encourage you to buy a copy. I live north of Logan, Utah, so it's not a long drive. If you don't live near a Deseret Book, I am sure you can order one from them. This book about prophecies that have been fulfilled is being fulfilled and yet to be fulfilled. Chapter 13 is about the Constitution hanging by a thread. Our borders are open. People, both good and evil, from all over the world are pouring over our borders. China has small buildings on many colleges and universities to and buildings in to try and recruit people to overthrow our country. China has been buying farmland hand over fist so they can control our food supply. They are buying land around our airports so they can spy on us. They tried to take away our freedom of speech, our right to bear arms. They tried to change the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. There's so much more but it would take me forever to type it all up.
@@Rise_ZionMormonism is a cult. The Bible is the word of God. The book of Mormon is nothing, it's a joke. It's mans way of trying to earn his way to heaven. When Jesus died on the cross he said it is finished. Nothing more needs to be done but to have faith in his blood. Follow all your rules to your demise.
So just to clarify, he wasn't wrong. Good to know. Well, as things start to go exactly the way the Prophets are saying they will, hopefully you'll change your mind before things get really nasty.
If you choose to believe that, that's your choice. (Matt 13:11-13) But it is clear that there are multiple levels of meaning and truth in these inspired talks.
Please stop. We don’t need to go beyond the mark and look for hidden meanings. Just listen with the Holy Ghost and keep your revelations to yourself. They’re not meant to be shared on UA-cam.
Oh my someone is grumpy! Don't tell me: you are one of those people who just read General Conference talks in Sacrament Meeting without any interpretation whatsoever. We need to overcome this type of spiritual mediocrity if we have any hope of helping to build Zion. Please review (Matt 13:11-13)
Encoded messages... do you mean like on the Kinderhook Plates or the funerary texts that the Pearl of Great Price was derived from? The encoded message is... More Mormon Horse Crap!!!
Your title mis labeled . Messages are not encodes, like the Savior said , those who are in tune . I know you will sY thet are the same, but you do do not need exaggerated titles to get people to listen, just be plain and truthful. You border on deception
Rather than seeking to pick the mote out of the title give thanks for the glorious message ! I'm glad I listened and hope that I am reminded that Our Savior did not let political contention stop His message of love, peace and forgiveness while He walked the earth.. Thank you for the message reminding us to keep our covenants.

You are correct. In 1981 , I was 21 years old. I am now 74yo. I remember listening to President Benson at General Conference. I met him when I was about 17 yo. My dad was called to be on the Stake High Council and President Benson set him apart for that calling. He was not a large man, maybe 5’10” that I recall. He had a very nice smile, and he was very humble. His son,Mark, was also set apart on the Stake High Council that day.
That's an awesome story, I'm glad you got to meet him.
Sorry math is off. You should be 64 by my calculations
Oops!! In 1981, I was 31yo. Not 21yo. Thanks for catching that. I was born in 1950.
You’d be 64 not 74
If you go back in the 1970’s to General Conference talks those Leaders were straight forward and upfront about the gospel and how to live it! Im sure the brethren today have to be very careful how they say things not to offend every living soul!
That could be. The mouths of the prophets are shut due to the hardness of hearts.

Helaman is a record of the last 40 years and the coming 10. It started with President Benson in 1985 and ends 2035. ( Elder Stephensen's talk).
Could be, though the Savior could return prior to the Olympics. I don't think there is any reason he couldn't.

I just went to the temple earlier today
That's great, I love the Temple!
those five virgins are not just church members but includes so many of our Christians bros and sisters.
I hope so. We have so much we can do together.
I believe our present day Samuel the Lamanite has come forth. God follows certain patterns, and his prophecies were forgotten, until Christ said to write them down. I suspect we are within 5-10 years of Christ's coming.
That sounds about right. I would err on the side of sooner.
Great job
Thank you

Hi I created this with AI and a few modifications of my own. 🙂
If we will not see the one taken here, and one taken there. Don't run in the field, etc. When is this suppose to happen? Kind of like the events described as the rapture, even though we don't call it that.
We will see the gathering of Israel, and the Gathering of New Jerusalem. See Matt 13:39-41 which discusses the separation of the wheat and tares.
Nice thought …
Thank you.
What is name of the painting 🖼️ behind you; a woman holding light!?
Could be anything
Who might the Lamanites be who grow in faith as the Nephites (church members) lose faith?
I'm not sure, some have suggested that it will literally be a remnant of Laminates who have yet to be discovered. Others have suggested that it might be people in Africa, where the church is growing rapidly because of their incredible faith. It might be a combination of things. I tend to think that this event might lead to the Great Separation which will essentially sift those people who are willing to live their covenants in Zion, as opposed to those who are not in Zion.
Alma was predicting the birth of the Savior 80years before he was born.
Yes
Zion…where there are no poor among them.
How, exactly?
A good question. Luke 12 provides the answer I believe.
Encoded....that says it all..😢😢😢
This could be seen as a good thing or a bad thing. Matt 13:11-13
What is the point of "hiding" the meaning of a message in Conference???
Doesn't sound like revelation to me!!???????
There are multiple layers of meaning. On a surface level reading, one might assume Elder Bednar said to not be prideful, it is true. However upon further investigation additional layers become revealed. The same as with parables. Why did Jesus hide the true meaning of his parables? To reveal only the level of truth the listener is able to handle. And to encourage deeper thought.
Did Christ not teach in parables in which a few understood the deeper meaning and the rest thought they heard a nice story? Why would He do that?
Your eyes match your earphones!
That's funny because multiple people have said that. The headphones are actually silver though.
Take a screen shot!

So its been 60or 70_ years of predictions?

Well there is only one way to know for certain, and that is asking of God. I believe that Joseph Smith was referring to a certain generation, he didn't specify which. Ezra Taft Benson did mention the generation. But we shall do more research on this topic and do a video. I know this is a common concern, and I don't believe that the specific generation was ever given except for in very few circumstances. And in those cases it is rather explicit and exciting!!!
The general authorities don't put secret codes or embedded messages in theialks. Their talks are inspired and straightforward, and they are given in love and the spirit is always powerful. No secret codes. No embeddded messages. When you start talking secret codes and embedded messages Iam gone. Good-bye
One more thing.... A prophecy is being fulfilled right now. Are you aware of that???
This is a false statement. Please review Matt 13:11-13. Then come back and let me know what you learned.
What is a false statement???
A prophecy being fulfilled right now?? It is true. If you knew of the prophecy, you would recognize it by what's going on right now in our country. The Constitution will hang from a thread... Sound Familiar?
RiseZion, I read Matthew 13: 11-13. The Savior taught in parables because they were simple, plain, and easy to understand by those he taught. They understood clearly, but those who didn't care about what the Savior had to say or were against him heard talking. They heard him talking about harvesting wheat and tares and what would happen if the seeds were planted in good soil or bad. So, those who didn't care about what the Savior had to say or were against him felt no threat because to them, they were being taught about growing and harvesting wheat. But to those he was teaching, he wasn't teaching them how to grow and harvest wheat, but using harvesting wheat as an example to teach gospel principles. Isaiah did the same thing.
You said my statement about a prophecy being filled right now was false. No, it is not false. It is 100% true. I have a book I purchased at Deseret Book. It is called "The Second Coming of the Lord" by Gerald N. Lund. I don't know where you live. But if you live near a Deseret Book, I strongly encourage you to buy a copy. I live north of Logan, Utah, so it's not a long drive. If you don't live near a Deseret Book, I am sure you can order one from them. This book about prophecies that have been fulfilled is being fulfilled and yet to be fulfilled. Chapter 13 is about the Constitution hanging by a thread. Our borders are open. People, both good and evil, from all over the world are pouring over our borders. China has small buildings on many colleges and universities to and buildings in to try and recruit people to overthrow our country. China has been buying farmland hand over fist so they can control our food supply. They are buying land around our airports so they can spy on us. They tried to take away our freedom of speech, our right to bear arms. They tried to change the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. There's so much more but it would take me forever to type it all up.
One of the signs is false prophets! Like this guy.😁
Really? How was he wrong?
@@Rise_ZionMormonism is a cult. The Bible is the word of God. The book of Mormon is nothing, it's a joke. It's mans way of trying to earn his way to heaven. When Jesus died on the cross he said it is finished. Nothing more needs to be done but to have faith in his blood. Follow all your rules to your demise.
So just to clarify, he wasn't wrong. Good to know. Well, as things start to go exactly the way the Prophets are saying they will, hopefully you'll change your mind before things get really nasty.
That was a portrait portrayal of Christ that was terrible.
Others disagree 🤷♂️
There’s nothing encoded in these talks, they’re plain and simple.
If you choose to believe that, that's your choice. (Matt 13:11-13) But it is clear that there are multiple levels of meaning and truth in these inspired talks.
Please stop. We don’t need to go beyond the mark and look for hidden meanings. Just listen with the Holy Ghost and keep your revelations to yourself. They’re not meant to be shared on UA-cam.
Oh my someone is grumpy! Don't tell me: you are one of those people who just read General Conference talks in Sacrament Meeting without any interpretation whatsoever. We need to overcome this type of spiritual mediocrity if we have any hope of helping to build Zion. Please review (Matt 13:11-13)
Encoded messages... do you mean like on the Kinderhook Plates or the funerary texts that the Pearl of Great Price was derived from?
The encoded message is... More Mormon Horse Crap!!!
Matthew 13:11-13
Also, "There's a sucker born every minute".
Your title mis labeled . Messages are not encodes, like the Savior said , those who are in tune . I know you will sY thet are the same, but you do do not need exaggerated titles to get people to listen, just be plain and truthful. You border on deception
Well many would consider parables to be encoded
I think he is just saying these messages are considered implicit rather than explicit.
Rather than seeking to pick the mote out of the title give thanks for the glorious message ! I'm glad I listened and hope that I am reminded that Our Savior did not let political contention stop His message of love, peace and forgiveness while He walked the earth.. Thank you for the message reminding us to keep our covenants.
Amen 🙏❤️
Thank you
