Thank you Bro Griffin and Bro Halverson. You have both beautifully simplified the approach to studying and understanding the book of revelations. I believe the two of you can teach and simplify anything that is put in front of you. I have seen it with all your presentations. That is most definitely a valuable and prized skill. It is a gift too, they way I see it. Not everyone has the skill to do that, even some of the most learned. I love everything that was shared. I love what Bro Griffin said about making slight changes to turn to the Lord. I think it's true, the devices that distract us from the Lord are the same devices that can also draw us to the Lord. It is most definitely a pivot. It is an important pivot too. Wow, that's really insightful. I love what Bro Halverson said about the number triple 6. I also loved the insight shared about the similarities of the saints standing on mount zion to the attributes of current temple reccomend holders. Wow, the type of saints that John is talking about in the book of revelations are very much temple patrons today in that analogy. I think this is a powerful insight. It amazes me how the scriptures always manage to come full circle. I especially loved the end thought from revelations chapter 7, that was so beautiful, it brought tears to my eyes. I missed that insight in my personal study, so thank you for ending the presentation on that beautiful thought. Thank you so much and God bless everyone at SC ❤️

It was a difficult week for me personally and this video reminded me that through Christ our trials can help us reconnect to him and become the type of person he wants us to be. Even though things may seem hard now it doesn’t mean that it will always be that way because God really does love his children and he will in his way and time wipe away all tears and lead us to living waters.

So I wondered if I could get your opinion--I understand 4 is often a symbol for the earth, or the 4 corners or quadrants of the earth. And in an earlier episode I seem to remember hearing that sometimes black and red are associated with north (ie the Black Sea) and south (the Red Sea). When I look at the 4 Horsemen, I have to wonder if the colors white and pale (if that could be called a color) are in any way associated with east and west. As Joseph learned, the Horsemen have to do with the history of the earth, and I wonder along with that if there is any symbolism to a spatial orientation.

@disciplesofjesuschrist2026 5 ай бұрын

these are they who are not subject to time nor space, The Four Horsemen are active in all Dispensations exception the Millennium. The limited senses of mortality are set aside. White is a feeble description of Glory and with the thunders of heaven as the voice of God. They are not audible transmission by airwaves passing through heaven reaching our eardrums and sounding but rather "thought" sent instantaneously . He/she that hath ears let them hear

@emjm9383 6 ай бұрын

lots of great work and thoughts here. my question to those who think this and other (visionary) revelations are metaphorical: if the prophet had a vision and *saw* something that he described the best he could, why would we think its more metaphorical and less literal? to satisfy our own challenges in understanding how it could be literal?? (not to say it can't be both.) when we're speaking of God's power, i don't think we need to rationalize things that don't make sense to us right now, even if we're trying to help someone struggling with faith. gasping for rational air can easily detract from other very real spiritual experiences that are not visionary, and can (ironically) be dangerous for those struggling with faith.

@disciplesofjesuschrist2026 5 ай бұрын

This is of a truth that they can be both literal and symbolic .John can see a beast as though it is literal and describe it as he sees it but the true interpretation is the the beast is a symbol of a truth that is veiled. Remember the Wizard of Oz. Oz is behind the curtain manipulating on the large scree out the front but Dorothy the Lion, Tin man and scarecrow see a fiery beast portrayed on the screen and they are terrified until Toto the dog goes behind the screen and exposes OZ who cause the Beast on the screen to say dont listen to the man behind the screen. The deception by Oz is to fool the others in to obeying the beast as animated on the screen., when the beast is really a manipulator by Oz, much like satan does who follow after mammon

The Prophet Joseph Smith taught that the sealing of the faithful in their foreheads “signifies sealing the blessing upon their heads, meaning the everlasting covenant, thereby making their calling and election sure” (in History of the Church, 5:530). To him/her that hath ears let them understand. Those whose name is written in the Book of Life and have remained faithful and true until the end are made sure by obedience to the Will of God thereby making the promise effective to seal one to Eternal Life

John saw what was going to happen when each seal was opened, not the contents of the actual seal. Also, the events shown are all future to John, so post 33AD. What John saw is for us to use as points of reference to know what is happening/about to happen in the last days. If nothing else, the key takeaway is this all is future in relation to John. The white horse has nothing to do with what is contained in the first 1000 years. The 4 horsemen are still on the horizon.

144,000 is pretty straight forward without explanation. You might find that the 'Lion of Judah" who was in the Pre existence as Jehovah who was the only one worthy of opening the 7 seals as bit of a challenge as Judah was not even born, the earth was not even created. However Jesus can still be of the House of Judah before Israel was a nation. Leave it to us unless you want further explanation.

@tony-northcountry3272 6 ай бұрын

The problem with their interpretation stems from their applying 1,000 literal years to each of the seven seals. The earthquake occurs at the beginning of the sixth seal. It does not last for the entire 1,000 year period. It sounds like they are doing a lot of numerology instead of biblical interpretation. Their interpretation of Revelation 13 really missed the boat. The beast and the false prophet therein are the same beast and false prophet that Christ casts into the lake of fire at the Second Coming (Revelation 19:20).

@scripturecentralofficial 6 ай бұрын

They were very clear to not interpret anything. That is the prophet's responsibility and we don't take that lightly. Any perceived interpretation is either backed by prophetic statements or is put forward as a possible interpretation.

@disciplesofjesuschrist2026 5 ай бұрын

It is of a truth the the seven dispensations are not exactly one thousand years precisely as they overlap. However Joseph Smith stated that the seals cover the seven one thousand dispensations of mankind. An example of this is that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are found in six dispensations (Not the Millennium) excepting Jesus Christ on the White Horse and those that follow Him on white horses. Some scholars assume that the three horsemen cover the first four dispensations, this is a false assumption

Concerning Lords time in reckoning end times, the most important aspect of this and other revelations is 'preparation' .

The focus is on the awareness of the retribution against the wicked , the righteous need not fear (being prepared).

Flat Earth Fallacy went out with Copernicus in the 13th century...as you travel south, approaching the equator, Polaris sinks lower and lower toward the horizon. Once you’ve crossed that boundary, you can't see it at all - it's blocked by the curve of Earth in that direction. Similarly, as you travel south, new constellations await your delighted gaze - ones that would be completely obscured by Earth's curve if you stayed up north. If the earth was flat you could see all these as there would be no curvature according to flat earth.
