I am doing some work with Exodus 16-20 right now and will be posting some thoughts shortly. I find the parallels between the complainers that followed Moses to the events that are happening today to be striking. Even in the midst of all of the miracles they had seen, withContinue Reading
Genesis 49:22–26. What Is the Significance of Joseph’s Blessing? “There are several things to be understood in the prophecy. First, he should become a multitude of nations. We understand what this means. In the second place, his branches should run over the wall. Now what does this mean? The LordContinue Reading
These chapters show how the nations were formed, and how the people of this time period broke into groups, each speaking a different language. Chapter 10 outlines the people that descended from the sons of Noah, and chapter 11 details the events surrounding the Tower of Babel and the corruptionContinue Reading
Moses 7:18 The Lord called his people Zion Zion we build will pattern after the ideals of its inhabitants. To change men and the world we must change their thinking, for the thing which a man really believes is the thing which he has really thought; that which he actuallyContinue Reading

But consider the doctrine that follows: Lehi: Adam fell that men might be, and men are that they might have joy. (2 Ne. 2:25) Enoch: Because that Adam fell,Continue Reading
This question is intended to delegitimize the prophet. In essence, the question is “Who do you think you are?” “Who made you a prophet over us?” The Savior was asked the same thing. Jesus was asked, “Who art thou?… If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly” (John 8:25; 10:24).Continue Reading
