While I fully respect Elder McConkie. It is stated in the Rise of Modern Mormonism that David O. McKay,while as the prophet of the church, specifically told Bruce R. McConkie not to publish the book and that after he did publish the book against his request, President Mckay went through the book and found over 1000 errors . I think it was Nibley that pointed out the error in identifying the great and abominable, alluding that the scriptures had been corrupted long before the organization that McConkie identified even existed. The point being that any of the brethren can write books, but that doesn't make what they say church doctrine. Because the writers of the Book of Mormon were not allowed to write about latter-day events beyond the fall of Babylon, many general authorities have written on topics that have not yet been fully revealed, which is really just their own speculation. Even the church study guides are not necessarily classified as church doctrine, they will often quote other scholars or even make statements like so and so believes that. They are study guides. When the general authorities state something that has clearly been classified as doctrine it will be stated categorically otherwise when speaking on topics that have not yet been fully revealed or endorsed by the church collectively I think we have to treat it as speculation.

107 year old heat record in phoenix broken 80 degrees. Sun burn in winter let’s go 🤯

This is fascinating. Thanks Jared, keep up the good work. 😊

I remember the story.

Seems as if he’s emphasizing that aaaalll of the themes, events, etc in those versus are all related and interconnected and not singular or stand-alone things.

You didn't come across this by accident, Jared. You found exactly what the Spirit wanted you to find. 🥰

Hey guys how do we contact Jared? What’s his email?

You come up with the most interesting details! You would have made an excellent accountant! But I'm glad you're doing this.

Ummm… President Nelson was sustained as our prophet January 14, 2018…..seven years this January.

I am shown combinations of 7's daily ... I feel through the spirit that I am being encouraged on from the other side of the veil! Incidently, 144,000 has been before me all day today! No exaggerating

#flood. Shared 2 copies.

On the 7th day God rested. President Nelson's talk "rest in the Lord and get peace". It's about the temple. That's what comes to mind

Numbers in scripture are significant as you say Jared. I get them from: Numbers in Scripture by Bullenger. The number 7 is spiritual, is a perfect number, means wholeness, completeness or fullness. The number 6 = fallen man who is an enemy of God. In triplicate 666 = imperfect. If you take number 6 + 1 or God = 7 #1=God. Man can be made perfect if we have God in our lives. I find all this fascinating.

Did you know the word “joy” is spoken 7x in the endowment session?

The last two conference talks that President Nelson gave had 7 words in the title. The Lord Jesus Christ Will Come Again

I used to love diagramming sentences, but I am not sure I would want to tackle that one! You younger people may not know about diagramming sentences.

President Nelson will have been prophet for 7 years on January 14, maybe something will happen after his 7th year

I shared the “seven words” with you. Probably seven months ago. My opinion is seven is the heads up warning that Jesus is coming! Heavenly Father even used the pattern!

The Lord is in control of His church and I do not think the 7's are "man made" or on purpose. I do believe they are there for US TO FIND AND FIGURE OUT. Revelation is a really wonderful experience! 😉😇 I had an original Book of Mormon that was passed down to me and I have sense passed it down... 😂, ANYWAY, the original book had no numbers of verses, etc in it. It was really long chapters that were perfect. I can't recall now, but the Book of Mormon we have today has 1 flaw in it. Lol. It's a word, I can't remember where in the Book of Mormon, but yes, 1 flaw.

"The seventh period was designated as a time of rest." (Footnote 37 See Gen. 2:1-3; Moses 3:1-3; Abr. 5:1-3.) Taken from Elder Russel M. Nelson "The Creation" April 2000. "The Creation, great as it is, is not an end in itself but a means to an end. We come to the earth for a brief period of time, endure our tests and trials, and prepare to move onward and upward to a glorious homecoming.52 Our thoughts and deeds while here will surely be more purposeful if we understand God’s plan and are thankful for and obedient to His commandments."53 Prepare to move onward and upward? Higher and holier? The words the seventh time or period, finished, ended my work, very good, rested, sanctified, Gods concluded, take note from the scriptures cited above.

I think he’s giving an accounting to the church and to the Lord that specific portions of the church’s duty in the restoration are complete. Since the number seven represents perfection completeness as it relates to the totality of something, I think he’s witnessing to the church and to the Lord That the time of the gentiles as it relates to their responsibility in the church, is almost complete.

7 epistles to the 7 churches... 7 Spirits; 7 lanterns of fire burning before the throne of God... 7 stars...; just adding to the 7's from John the Revelator.

Jared, you should compile your 7 list and ask him or his secretary or someone to inquire from him. I bet he’ll answer .

He is a surgeon and imagine precision and exactness perfection and more is a part of him… and then there is gospel way.. who really knows but it’s cool. Actually 7 was my QB jersey and I have always loved 7 too. lol😊

The prophet has all the priesthood keys 🔑 & it sounds like he is pointing out a sign of 2nd coming. In medical field if it's not charted, then it's not done. I think Heavenly Father started the 7s...the creation could've been any length!!! The creation is the main content in the temple that we are to learn about Him. 😊

7:00 3rd Nephi Chapter 21... 3 goes into 21 seven times. That's a great layer for people with number brains. I like it.

This is my fun theory. When he was called as prophet, Jesus told him that he would be coming in 7 years, but instructed him not to tell us directly. Russell M. Nelson can't keep his excitement so he's using 7 with an absurd frequency. Jesus will come in 2025, and will participate in the dedicating of the Salt Lake Temple, as well as celebrate with us the 2000th anniversary of his atonement, and also help host the Olympics in Utah. Then everyone will live happily ever after the end.

Thank you Jared. I appreciate all your hard work and effort that helps my own studies

I really don't know why the prophet is using 7's so frequently, and I really wish I did. However, I do feel comfortable enough to say what is doesn't mean, and it definitely doesn't mean the Second Coming is very far off. 7 years as prophet? 7 years for the Salt Lake Temple to be under construction? 7th seal? 7th thousand years? The work is complete? 7 trumpets?

These verses are also part of a chiasmus describing the spread of the gospel and the BoM. The peak of the poem is found in verse 4: "For it is wisdom in the Father that they sglhould be established in this land, and be set up as a free people by the power of the Father..." Being the peak, that makes the founding of the USA a pivotal part of the restoration of the gospel and the fulfilments of God's promises.

Seven is Heaven 😊❤

They Visited JERUSALEM and BESSED the Land ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Wow Jared, it's amazing how you've been influenced by the Holy Ghost! Those spread sheets, especially with certain terms that have been used, are truly a gift to your listeners!

Cody, Wyoming is experiencing a lot of opposition.

I’ve heard many Christians object to our beliefs about the character and nature of God, namely they object to God being embodied. All references to man seeing God are meant to be interpreted as seeing the GLORY of God, but not actually God. It seems that we are better prepared by virtue of the plain and simple truth that God the Father and God the Son have bodies of flesh and bone as tangible as man’s. Perhaps, Christians are right in their own way. They will only see the glory of God when He comes again. This ties into my understanding of how those who inherit a terrestrial or celestial glory BOTH participate in the Millennium. How could anyone participate in the Millennium and not choose celestial glory? Part of it might be that even in the presence of the Savior our agency permits us to be spiritually blind.

I've been pondering Moroni 2:2 - "Now Christ spake these words unto them at the time of his first appearing; and the multitude heard it not, but the disciples heard it;" Why would Moroni include this if he was in such precarious circumstances, and without much ore or ability to write? I also have been stunned since the announcement of the Rome Temple. Too many reasons, but I had dreamed of going to the dedication, but it didn't happen. But I have felt it a very, very important announcement and temple to be built before the apostles all went. When they were announcing the Visitor's Center having the replicas of Thorvaldsen's Christus and apostles, I was especially moved. I had run into a man at Salt Lake Temple Square who was visiting the Christus. He was from Denmark and had been baptized in the Church of OUr Lady in Copenhagen (the place the original sculptures are featured). I was really overcome b the Spirit to ponder on that in that moment and the feelings never left me, so it hit me very hard hearing the Rome Temple would have this. I'm convinced Moroni put that into the Book of Mormon as he contemplated *the* most important things to give to our day to remind us that those the Lord calls to lead His church are in literal direction of Him. This video is really great in it aligns so much with what I have been pondering and studying on my own. It makes me feel like the Spirit is acting on many of us to be thinking and studying on these same topics and sources and so forth. Thank you. This is one more exciting thing to help me think about what it is the Spirit may be trying to help me understand better. I appreciate you taking the time to research and share your insights!

Whether we reunite with the Lord when he returns or sooner, the important thing is that we work on our relationship with him.

Don't get me wrong, Jared. I love your channel (especially your spreadsheet) and passion about the imminent return of the Lord, you and other casters like Kaitlan on Anticipating Christ's Return - like it's going to happen anytime, in the next year, or two, or even 10. I so wish it was. But read your scriptures. Don't interpret every little comment or weird coincidence or set of numbers or 7 as a sign. I believe it will be soon, but IMO too much still has to happen. Just prepare yourself for it as if it's going to happen tomorrow.

Remember the story of how Pres. Nelson and Oaks were selected by Pres. Kimball on the same day - IN THAT ORDER, as specifically requested by Pres. Kimbal to then Elder Hinckley.

I really like the companion scripture to Isaiah 40:5 found in D&C 101:23, which has additional insights. I can see the preference to use Isaiah 40:5 as he is the prophet to the world and his message is to a greater audience than just the members of the church. Perhaps he is using Isaiah 's words and emphasizing this prophecy to lay some common groundwork with the Jewish community as preparation. I like how D&C 101:23 clarifies that the "it" used in Isaiah's words is "me" (the Lord). Instead of "glory of the Lord shall be revealed" phrase being using by Isaiah, our latter day revelation says "veil of my temple . . . shall be taken off". I love the added clarity.

Jared I know this is not the right video. Using the Priesthood to bless the church at the END of most conferences before Pres Nelson. The wording that went along with blessing the church were words such as " As an Apostle of Jesus Christ I leave you an apostolic blessing..... " or words to that nature I have been watching you lately on the "SMART TV" I hope you get to see this.

I think we are into the 7th thousand years. The dedication of the Palmyra Temple was pivotal. So many small, and large, signs in the heavens and in the Church of Jesus Christ showing the time is nearing (and I believe quite soon!) for the coming of the Lord in power and great glory!

President Oaks in this year’s Christmas devotional also said, it’s been more than 6,000 years.

In relation to the proclamation of the family being a warning and a precursor to threats to the family, what would the proclamation of the Messiah be a precursor to or warning of??? The single Anti-Christ seems to be the obvious thing that this is a warning of!!! 17 And the Lord will set his hand again the second time to restore his people from their lost and fallen state. Wherefore, he will proceed to do a marvelous work and a wonder among the children of men. 18 Wherefore, he shall bring forth his words unto them, which words shall judge them at the last day, for they shall be given them for the purpose of convincing them of the true Messiah, who was rejected by them; and unto the convincing of them that they need not look forward any more for a Messiah to come, for there should not any come, SAVE IT SHOULD BE A FALSE MESSIAH which should deceive the people; for there is save one Messiah spoken of by the prophets, and that Messiah is he who should be rejected of the Jews. 2 Nephi 25

19:41 Contention in your own heart can be with others and/or the fight with sin. Your sins. Your vices.

Why is pres nelson in a wheelchair

Did you miss Oaks also saying “more than 6,000 years”?

So glad you linked the special witnesses video from 2000. I sang in that video, the rendition of the hymn “Testimony” after President Hinckley delivers his message (before hops closing remarks). There was about 20 or so of us - members of the BYU Men’s Chorus, in the LDS movie studio in Orem. They did a trick to have us sing it a couple times in different positions, and then layered the tracks together to make us sound like a larger choir.

Ha, I grew up in Wichita, KS and now live in Riverton, UT. Go figure

I remember that talk as well.
