As one who has been to the other side and back, I laugh everytime someone says they have a "guardian angel". What one finds out is that all people born on this planet, have never left it, even after temporal separation. We are surrounded by angels continually. Not just protecting us when directed but whispering and teaching us at all times. When one see's the other side the phrase "oh that I were an angel" no longer holds any desire! I dream now only to be a reunited being. For we are not complete as angels! But I'm forever in debt to God for directing them.

“Some of them gave birth to us” Awwwww 🥰 So true.

It states that Moroni is a resurrected being is on the introduction page vii in the Book of Mormon, where it reads, "After Mormon completed his writings, he delivered the account to his son Moroni, who added a few words of his own and hid up the plates in the Hill Cumorah. On September 21, 1823, the same Moroni, then a glorified, resurrected being, appeared to the Prophet Joseph Smith and instructed him relative to the ancient record and its destined translation in the English language."

Main categories: 1. Premortal Spirits 2. Mortals 3. Postmortal Spirits 4. Translated Beings 5. Resurrected People 6. Devils Also, there seem to be subdivisions based on rank, position, or role. For example, in category 1, as per the Old Testament, there were archangels, seraphim, and cherubim.

Thank you for helping to spread the true gospel of Jesus Christ

I think it would have been Moses who ordained John the Baptist since he was a translated being

It seems interesting to me that many people seem to forget how many translated beings there are. Think of the city of Enoch and all those who joined them before and after the flood.

Perhaps John the Baptist was ordained by an ancient translated prophet named Elias(the preparer). It would make sense as John the Baptist mission was to prepare the way, that an ancient prophet with a similar task, or who was the holder of those types of keys would be one to ordain John the Baptist with the Aaronic priesthood. Sheesh, when I say it that way it makes me wonder if it were Aaron himself, however, sticking with my first thought of Elias and then it could be considered to be Elijah, as in Elias being another name for Elijah.

Thank you, this is what i needed to hear this day

As always very insightful and helpful 👍👏👌 Thanks for your dedication

Thank you so very much. There is still so much we don't know that hasn't been revealed to us. I'm very greatful for the time you put into this video to help explain the thing we do know about Angles.

In the Revelation of John, there is a mention of 7 angels of the congregations of the first church. In the Joseph Smith translation of the Bible, he corrects this to "the seven servants" (possibly bishops) of the congregations in Asia. My point is: Angel may be a holy title that simply means Servant. God's servants. Satan's servants. etc.

Great Video! Thank you for the time you put into resourcing and producing it! You have wet my appetite for further study!

I'm not certain who ordained John the Baptist, but it would make sense that the angel held the Aaronic Priesthood as Christ restored the Melchizedek Priesthood. In saying that, I personally believe Moses ordained John, as John according to the Bible Dictionary, "Thus his ministry has operated in three dispensations: he was the last of the prophets under the law of Moses, he was the first of the New Testament prophets, and he brought the Aaronic Priesthood to the dispensation of the fulness of times." I teach my children to be worthy of Ministering and Guardian Angels. In short, I to want to find myself surrounded by these Holy Beings.

Loved this. Thank you so much

Nice to know about Angels

If there are mortal angels ministering on behalf of Christ, aren't there logically mortals who are working on behalf of the enemy, also? I was thinking, then, that the enemy's angelic hosts must have counter missions to Father's angeld. That information helps me, I serve Heavenly Father in an inner city ministry, I face a lot of demonic activity and attack.Both spiritual and temporal.

Thank you so much for you teaching. It uplifts me each lesson. Bless you. You have such a good heart and serving spirit.

Thank you!

I think that possibly Moses or his brother Aaron might be the angel that ordained John The Baptist to the Aaronic Priesthood.

Thank you. Very good. 👍

Jesus loves you!

Wow 🥺 that's so amazing 💞💞 very cool.

Thank you.

Really interesting

Thank you

Jane Seymour. Touched by an angel, angel.

I am so happy to hear this this wonderful message

* * * Good information. thank you for your help in understanding spiritual things. Any chance you could breakdown Powers, Thrones, Principalities, Dominions, and etc. ... if you have already please disregard I will go through your other videos.

Thank you for your video and information. You are an Angel.

Great video! I really enjoy all of your videos. I love learning more about these types of scripture topics. Just a side note: can anyone tell me what the painting is at 12:46? I've seen it a thousand times, but I can't remember exactly what it is.

I need to see part 2

Excellent information. Thank you! I hear your pronounce Ensign as "N-zen" rather than "N-sign" Small thing yet helpful to new members to hear correct pronunciation as mentioned in the Ensign magazine.. You are so wonderfully skilled in all that you share in these videos for us. Thank You,

I always enjoy your videos! I feel like it was one of many miracles sent from God that I came across your channel. Thank you for educating us and helping us to understand the gospel according to the will of our God and our willingness to learn and act upon that which we learn!

Interesting and informative. I would like to make a minor correction. You state cherubim as singular. "im" denotes plural in Hebrew. Therefore, cherub is singular and cherubim is plural. It was multiple "cherubs" that guarded the tree of life, not one cherub.

I was pondering in the word of the song He Died! The Great Redeemer Died this last Sunday. I wondered of the 6 angels in you 3 part series Kevin, if at all are Cherubic legions are part of these 6 angle groups; and what your insight on anyone that dies particularly the faithful? Do you suppose Cherubic legions guard us home, or was this for the lord Jesus Christ only? This song is so incredibly beautiful!

I go off of the introduction to the Book of Mormon to know that Moroni was a resurrected being. My feeling is that if he was going to be translated, he would have begun mentioning it like Ether did, or like was speculated for Alma or Nephi (the one right around the beginning of third Nephi). I think they knew something about why certain individuals are translated instead of just dying or being resurrected. The pattern I've noticed, and that has become part of my speculative theory, is that most individuals that were translated before Christ's Resurrection were done so during the era of the Law of Moses (including Moses, Elijah and presumably Ether, Alma and Nephi [though I don't know for sure why the latter three were translated]) and my best guess is that it was because they had priesthood authority that the world could not be governed or judged by should they be slain or cast out by those under an Aaronic order. I don't really know why John and the 3 Nephites were translated and not just resurrected like Peter and James. As for OT angels, the scriptures don't really clarify what kinds of angels they are, in most cases, so I just assume they are righteous, mortal beings.

Yes for sure we have angels all around us today. Some seem to be homeless, those in need. Someone we don't even know on the street. So that you may have the opportunity to serve the Lord Jesus Christ in these latter days. Even the three Nephites and others. I know there are more than these, I'm talking about. So please don't pass up the opportunity when you see someone in need it could very well be a angel from heaven, to check on mankind. We only have those reported in the scriptures. There are so much more in the scene all around us and we would never know unless it was through the whisperings of the Holy Spirit or if you could feel their presence. Throughout my life I have been able to view the evidence of spirits and angels. Of course I'm talking about Heavenly angels. I see evidence of the evil an unclean spirits walking around wherever I go also. And evil is in many people we see every week, or on the street harming others. You have Satan's missionaries everywhere, they are on the street, Even in our families.

“Moroni, who deposited the plates in a hill in Manchester, Ontario County, New York, being dead and raised again therefrom, appeared unto me…” (TPJS 119) Joseph taught that Moroni was raised from the dead. This means that Moroni is a resurrected being.

I love the picture of the angels of the Devil with the short wings. It's like they can't fly anymore and are slipping off the clouds.

john was 8 days old when ordained

The angel Gabriel ordained John??? But idk if that makes sense. I tried to find someone that would be translated and held the Aaronic priesthood. Maybe Moses or Elias/Elijah? I'd love to know your answer.

I think it was the resurected Aaron who held the keys to the aaronic priesthood.

I believe in angels.

Śerāphîm six wings and could fly. Would you please elaborate on your classification of these.

Thank you for this instructional video about angels! I have learned a lot! Are Seraphim angels or just fiery beings? What does it mean that they have 6 wings if angels do not have wings what are they?

I concur that it was Moses who ordained John the Baptist if it was a translated being. However, it's entirely possible there was a living, mortal angel that could've been sent. Too, I also support the reminder elsewhere in this feed that there were MANY translated beings who could've been sent to Abraham and Lot. Insofar as I know, there's no reference to Noah or his sons being translated - please inform me if you do know a reference. Overall, very informative! Looking forward to the follow up videos!

Wouldn't John the Baptist have the authority of the Aaronic Priesthood by virtue of being a Levite & direct descendent of Aaron ( both sides Elizabeth & Zacharias)? Does section 84 refer to a different type of ordination?

I think the Angel's that came to Abraham could have been Shem, Enoch, and Noah.

John the Baptist was probably "touched", or ordained. by Moses, who had been translated, held the keys of the Aaronic priesthood, the keys of the Melchizedek priesthood for his time AND the keys of the Gathering of Israel!

Well, who do you think was the angel who ordain John called Baptist at 8 days old?

I believe the angel was Elijah who ordained John.

Where do "ghosts" factor in? We know that they exist, because many have had encounters with them. We also know that in most cases they have already passed through mortality. Why is it that they continue to tarry in locations where they spent some of their mortal existence? Interested in hearing opinions on this.

How about Exalted being can be called as angel or not? What is the doctrine of angels?

What about Seraphs, They have six wings. I've seen one in a vision. 2 Nephi 16:2/Isaiah 6:2 word for word identical.

MY GOODNESS slow down you're going too fast! is like my reading I need to go back multiple times to get it!!! maybe explaining in between would help for some of us who's English cis our second language .......thanks

There are also Herald Angels, like those that came to the shepards at christ's birth.

I feel like Elisha may have ministered to John the Baptist.

Since we know the identity of the angels who ministered to Adam and Eve, and know they had not been born yet (no one had anyway) how were they able to give them physical signs? My wife was just asking me about this yesterday, so I thought this video was topically timely.

Who was beheaded if not the being that conferred the Aaronic priesthood on Joseph and Oliver???

Where do “biblically correct” angels fit into our Gospel? Or do they at all?

Moses could have been the angel that ordained John the Baptist.

It will be interesting after we pass from this life and may gain additional insight into the ministering of the Lords people to those upon the earth. Meanwhile it is also interesting to compile what we do have via prophets & scripture that is recorded about them. Thanks for including references.

How did Peter, James and John appear to the man Adam after he was cast out of the garden and give him signs and tokens? Wouldn’t they have needed a body to do that?

So what about the angels that physically ministered to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden? Think Temple? Would they not have to have a physical body in order to physically touch Adam and Eve?

Was it Gabriel (Noah) who ordained John the Baptist? He would have been a resurrected being. @7:45 time stamp.

What about a Serif then? You mention Cherib(s) (Cherib for singular/Cheibim for plural) but not Serif (singular) or serifim for plural? And what about the hierarchy associated with Angels? And what about the flaming sword? Cheribim and a flaming sword were place to guard the tree of life.

It would seem that there would be another type of angel also. Those who lived on earth but are bound by Satan? I guess it would be classified in those waiting for resurrection but those were portrayed as holy. So not all those who die are holy angels but some may be bound by Satan because of the lives they lived.

Can you clear up who Metatron is and what his role is?

Every person dying will be Angel, good or bad.

Is there scripture that relates to the Angel in Gethsemane not having a body of flesh? Because I believe that it was our Heavenly Mother.

What of the “seraphims” are those angels real?

You assume they had to touch. That is possibly wrong. Something can be shown and taught without touching.

What about destroying angels?

ANGEL MEANS MESSENGER. SO whether it is moroni, your grandma, adam etc. If they reveal themselves to u with important message then they are called Angels

I’m pretty sure Noah was the angel that ordained John the Baptist

This video makes me wonder about 1 Nephi 3:29 whether the angel is a spirit being talking to them or if it is a guardian angel who was mortal just as a passerby to reprove Laman and Lemuel

Moses or elias the prophet. Before coming to the mountain of transfiguration.

4:13 Why do you just make longer videos I enjoy the long videos. Why? You can stop it and start it when you need to. Think about this please 📖📚❤️🙏

Wait I thought the LORD resurrected Lazarus? Wasn’t that before the LORD himself was resurrected ?

FYI John the Baptist was ordained at 8 days old, not 8 years. 😇

better understand what?

I disagree that Adam wasn't a resurrected being, in that when Christ was resurrected, the righteous came forth out of the graves. I believe Adam and all the ancient prophets were among those who rose after Christ.

I know my youtube name goes with the video. Some days I own it, other days I'm repenting 😉

Assumption No. 1: At just 2 minutes in, the assumption is made that the angel (Cherubim) that drove Adam & Eve from the Garden 'must' be a spirit, citing D&C130:5 AND reasoning that there could not be other embodied beings that "belong" to this earth. This is a BIG assumption! What of the Terrestrial or Telestial resurrected beings (or celestial beings who are not married & raising their own progeny?) who have been appointed as ministering servants to the family of spirits that belong to this earth?? Do we suppose that these 'angels' have nothing further to do with any other family of spirits, or what family of spirits might they have to do with, or 'belong' to. They belong to the Celestial family they are assigned to, aiding and ministering to the spirits raised in the family of a Celestial couple, otherwise they would belong nowhere?! Who knows what all they do, but they are resurrected beings pertaining to glory, under the direction of their higher links all the way up to the Celestial Glory and through there linked on to the kingdoms of our God. More could be said, but I wonder the quality of "inspiration" (and not just human reasoning from scriptures) in these videos based on just the first few minutes!?

There is no reason to suppose that John the Baptist was ordained by a supernatural being. The Aaronic/Levitical priesthood was on the earth and held by his own father, Zechariah.

The term "in heaven" can be misleading. Angels from the pre-excitant realm vs angels from the spirit world come from very different places and are under vastly different circumstances even though they may both be spirits. "Heaven" is too general a term. I think Joseph used the term "heaven" because it was easier than having to explain the details (then he goes on to explain the details! haha). He did admit that he wasn't perfect. lol. He is the guy with the keys of the restoration for this dispensation so I'll just roll with it.

Be careful people of all people with videos on KZfaq…. He showed a picture with Adam & Eve with a Cherubim in the garden and Adam & Eve in clothes. They had no sin and there eyes we’re open and they covered with fig leaves.

So I have an interesting thing to ponder. Like a riddle.... Adam and Eve were ministered to by Peter James and John in the lone and dreary world...... after they were cast out.... we learn this in the temple. they would have had to have bodies I order to give him tokens and confer the priesthood to adam. They would not have been born for thousands of years let alone died and been resurrected. So how was this possible . even if they were different people then the apostles of Christ they would have had to have a body at the beginning of the earth.... and you said the scriptures said Christ was the first resurrected..... so that would mean no other being in heaven would have had a body at the time of Adam and Eve. Interesting thoughts eh!!! I have the answer.... just wondering if you’ve ever thought about this

Cherubim have wings on the Ark and on the temple vail... and Cherubim are not Angels!!!! You should look up Cherub in the Tropical guide and Bible dictionary!!!!!!!!

What?.....baloney! ....are you guys mormans? Please only use the scripture and not other books. Angels are spiritual beings. They do not now or will they ever have bodies, and there is no evidence of them having a soul. How could we judge the Angels if they are human too? ( or were human) If you want to spout you doctrine please say your from a different religion right on the thumbnail. That goes for Catholics too. ( Catholics have their special Bibles, and so do Jehovah witnesses) Otherwise you'll confuse the Christians that never read their Bibles, they'll take this stuff for real because they don't know better.

Who are you? You have not given details in the 'about' section. Why are you so secretive about your identity? Are you a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints? Are you authorised to preach these topics by the Church? Come on come out of the closet, because if you have authority I will believe what you say otherwise you are just another self appointed expert who is dangerous to honest Christians.
