Come Follow Me - Genesis 5; Moses 6: "Teach these Things Freely"

[@leenastoddardart]

Thank you, Jared, for this message. My mother is 100 years old and we were at Adam Ondi Ahman last April. She wrote a poem while she was there, that she wanted to share with you. I have added it to this comment: Adam-ondi-Ahman Today I stood on hallowed ground Where many eons gone Adam stood, along with Eve And Peter, James, and John. The truth was taught and Adam knew The glory of his mission His valiancy and love for God Put Satan in submission. So now I stand and gaze around At all the beauty here The magnitude touches my heart In awe, I shed a tear. What was this land outside of Eden The place of our beginning A place for us to know The consequence of sinning. We came to earth as Adam did Accountable to God Now I stand here all alone In deed, on holy sod. The rolling hills and valleys Hold a secret in their midst As if they’re waiting patiently For something they have missed. But Christ will come in all His Glory To this sacred spot The valley and the rolling hills Will know the wonders they have sought. We wait with faith and love and hope For Christ to reign for all Because the plan was heaven made Long before the fall. It all began on this great land I give my love to Adam The first and lonely man to stand On Adam-ondi-Ahman. April 6, 2021 Marilyn Jaussi (1921-present)

Beautiful!

I love this. The visual power of your mother's words is so beautiful ♥️

[@susanhicken6998]

Absolutely wonderful!!! Very talented ❣

[@shannontuttle1773]

What a beautiful poem! You should have someone help her put it to music!🎵🎶

[@Kindnessmatters2]

Beautiful...thank you for sharing...💕

[@whitneylin4297]

I love this line just after 1:29:45: “When you’re an instrument in His hands, you can’t help but get His fingerprints all over you.” This is my experience too! God is so good.

[@BradBartonSpeaks]

Beautiful comment, Whitney.

[@ljimz7130]

Yes. That poem is so heartbreaking. I have two children that have chosen paths that I know will ultimately bring sorrow. Because of that, I feel sorrow. Everyday I wonder what I can do or what I should have done to inspire them into a different direction. Mortality is hard.

[@Forestgump12able]

Hello Sister You keep Wondering about it and you will Wander upon it.

[@maryfranjeppesen8932]

The poem made the murder of Abel by Cain truly made it real! My heart ached for Eve! " i traded the fruit if the garden for the fruit of my body." Thank you again Bro. Halverson!!

[@burnettaannegerber7673]

Brother Halverson, Have you read the series of articles by Hugh Nibley entitled: "A Strange Thing in the Land"? They are the story of Enoch & well worth the read. I am listening to your discussions current & past & always listen to them over & over again. They are so enlightening! We pray that you will keep up this amazing gospel instruction. You are the greatest blessing we have received coming out of the so called "pandemic". Thank you very much! Ray and Burnetta Anne Gerber

[@karenmccleve5504]

Where can I find those articles by Hugh Nibley? I would love to read them.

[@staceystallings8269]

It's in the Gospel Library.

[@anephraimite]

@@staceystallings8269 I can only find Part 1 and Part 13 in gospel library. Are there more parts? Are these articles part of a collection? Thanks.

You are my hero. I have learned more from you while studying scriptures then anyone. You teach with insight and through the spirit. I have been with you from day one. The growth I have encountered is EPIC I appreciate you so much

[@davidspjut9365]

How blessed we are Jared to have a teacher who not only helps us to see clearly, but more importantly seeks the Spirit to do so. Keep this faith filled spiritual winded coming ! My faith shines brighter through it😇❤️. Keep up the good work brother….David

[@lauralio2055]

I am so grateful for your Faith and for your love of the scriptures. I am also grateful that you have this you tube channel because I learn so much from what you share each lesson. My mind is being enlightened and expanding at the same time my understanding is increasing. I love and appreciate what you share each lesson. True blessing in my life.

[@geoffreylrd7351]

My younger brother introduced me to these lessons a few months ago. I’ve since listened to all the D&C, BofM and now OT. Thank you for the hundreds of our of meaningful and inspiring material. It’s been such a blessing to be immersed in the scriptures with you. Thank you for making this sacrifice for me.

[@lauralio2055]

I cannot help but feel so much gratitude in my heart and soul right now. How grateful I am to be blessed with the words of wisdom given to you brother from our Father in Heaven to share with me and the rest of God's children this day.. truly blessed with God's love, mercy and grace today!!. Thank you striving to be worthy to receive knowledge, wisdom and understanding of God's truths to share with the world. I love it

[@anniepresley1035]

God bless us to have the word explain to us that we may understand better .

"Live lives worth recording." I LOVE that. I think that one day we'll all be able to playback our lives and watch it like a movie. So, at all times I'm trying to be conscience of what I'm doing and being careful not to do things I won't be proud of. I TRY. 😬🙂

[@Forestgump12able]

Yes, I love that, too. Continue to believe Then watch n see.

[@ljj2189]

How wonderful it is to be part of this "Unshaken" community! My heart is full and so are my eyes. What another beautiful lesson Brother Jared. Thank you for sacrificing your time to walk with us all on our journey back home. Again and always, a huge thank you to your wife and each of your children for their sacrifices in helping you make these profound lessons possible. How I loved that phrase.... Celestial Homesickness. I wrote a poem inspired by the scriptures last year. A friend put music to it... It goes something like this... Oh how my soul aches To be with Thee. To touch the hem of Thy robe And feel the power of Thy love. Yet in my longing I pause I pause to cast mine eyes above..... I've forgotten the rest but I'll go look for it and post it here if anyone is interested. If anyone has musescore, we're happy to share the music too.

[@brentgerrard8331]

I am continually amazed at your dedication in preparing, recording, editing, posting, etc. these lessons. Thank you so much. Always enjoy your insights.

[@elizabethrainbolt9443]

My little sister had such a hard time learning how to read. Our parents tried everything they could find, even hooked on phonics, to no avail. She learned to read as we read The Book of Mormon together. What a gift this scripture has been to my family! I have a firm testimony of the joy and blessings that can be found through reading God's word.

[@CN-pe4gz]

This is how I’m teaching my sons to read. I felt the Spirit tell me that I should let them learn to read by reading the Book of Mormon. It’s working!

[@wikilovett7346]

My mother had us learn to read by reading the Book of Mormon - late 1960s and early 1970s in New Zealand. I then did the same with my children in Redlands, California in the 90s. Many sweet memories of daily scripture reading.

[@sandyvandam3102]

I’ve been taught the gospel from my earliest childhood memories, but the new insights gained through studying and listening to this lecture on Enoch and Adam alone, not to mention the past couple years of closely following your podcasts, make me feel like I’m starting from scratch in many ways! Thank you for the richness of doctrinal insights gained from of each of your lessons ( podcasts). They actually end too soon, I guess, because I keep going back only to hear something I somehow missed the first or second time through. I’m loving it! Thank you!

[@fitnessrealty]

I can't even imagine being Adam and Eve, without a vail, they would have had so much home sickness because of that. This is a great lesson, thank you for teaching us all.

[@BK-si1ut]

1:13 I understand what you say when you talk about the need to for "professional distance" when ministering to other who may choose a different path. I learned that in these cases, I needed to just trust the Lord that he would keep his eye on them when I couldn't.

[@2MinuteScriptureStudy]

Enoch's concerns are so relateable! Thank you for explaining how God is very aware of our abilities but also our potential and therefore wants to provide us with the neccessary experiences to grow as we work through Him. What a wonderful lesson to keep in mind!

[@janellebird3771]

Saw only the beginning of this comment, and knew this would be another GOoD one!

‘When you are an instrument in His hands you can’t help but get His fingerprints all over you”. A very beautiful concept. 💕

[@kevinphelps5017]

You are so talented. And I so appreciate you spending your time edifying and uplifting me with your Come Follow Me study lessons. I listen to them over and over again. And recommend to my fellow Ward Missionaries, and our Bishopric that we all might be Blessed. And l love the painting of Eve and the serpent in the garden. Especially the way you involved us all by videoing the hole thing. You’re truly Blessed with all kind of ways to teach. Thank you once again. I got more out of the D and C last year then I have in all the other times I have studied it before. And that goes for The Book of Mormon the year before too. So I look forward to watching these videos in the future. God Bless you and Yours with health and prosperity and love.

[@maribeldelgado2832]

Hermano Halverson, realmente es un placer oir sus lecciones y comentarios sobre las escrituras. Yo tambien me crie en la area de Hollywood, CA y me gusta escuchar sus esperiencias de nino y tambien de su mision es Puerto Rico. Doy gracias a Dios por dar iluminacion a Ud. y el deceo de buscar revelacion y la necesidad de aprender mas del espiritu para compartir con nosotros verdades perdidas.

[@gerivilleneuve9018]

Thank you brother Halverson for your amazing gift of teaching. I love your lessons and I have learned to love Doctrine and Covenants. I feel that I will come to love the old testament also. You are an inspiration to me.

[@myrtleterekia9858]

This is the one lesson that had me in tears from the word go. I cried over the poem, as well as the painting. I sniffled my way through the whole of this session.I do want to "walk with my Heavenly Father in every aspect of my life. Thank you Brother Harvelson for this wonderful experience. God bless.

[@b1of4bs]

The painting and the poem made my heart weep. I can't imagine Eve's sorrow. And look at the anguish on Adam's face! It had to be almost unbearable. I'm truly grateful for and to these, our first parents. 💓

[@sarahlilledal5]

I am always so grateful for this inspired online gospel class because it helps me to learn new things each time I’m watching it at home while preparing and eating my dinner. It makes more sense to me now how the beautiful nature in Norway and even the lovely orchids in the Windows of my living room reminds me of our Savior’s love and great brings joy to my heart because indeed all things bear witness of God’s love for His children. Thanks Brother Halvorsen for being such an inspired and dedicated Teacher to help us better understand the gospel. Warm Greetings from Haugesund, Norway.

[@carissaworkman4928]

My family has been calling you 'Bro. Hal' since the beginning of the Doctrine & Covenants! When you referred to yourself as Bro. Hal a couple podcasts ago I had to chuckle because we thought we were being so clever! You've probably been called that since you started teaching. You have a small little fan group here in North Ogden, UT! We've been with you since the beginning of the Doctrine and Covenants and the insight and knowledge you have given us is a treasure that we will always be grateful for. I felt a little like your grandmother when we first began the Doctrine and Covenants but I definitely don't feel that way anymore! The love and appreciation that I have gained through the Come Follow Me and your

[@vickihouseman5928]

The insight you gave in the 1st part of this lesson about the effects of the fall was so enlightening to me. To think about Eve losing her sons to death and sin right after the fall, and having the faith to continue by having Seth was something I never thought of. Thank you for bringing the scriptures to life forme each week.

[@kathrynn499]

Many years ago I had Truman Madsen as a seminary teacher and I was very riveted by his every word. I finally I'm getting that feeling again with your lectures. Keep it up! Don't hold back, nothing restrained.

The poem brought me to tears, and reminded me of something my Dad always said, small children, small sorrows, adult children, big sorrows. How true the words.

Cont. from last comment. Having issues with my Kindle. But just wanted you to know that the love and appreciation I have for the Saints and Joseph Smith and Emma is because of the Come Follow Me curriculum and your amazing insight with the Spirit, ofcourse! Thank you doesn't seem like an appropriate way to say how I am coming to know the scriptures, but THANK YOU! This comment has been a long time coming never quite knowing how to express what I felt. So here is my very simple thank you!

[@marsireid]

As a “Walker,” I am drawn to the story of Enoch and how he walked with God (and I was a “Shoemaker” before I married!😄) It is my daily hope and prayer that I will be found walking with Him and on the path that leads me to life eternal. How grateful I am to believe and feel and know with all my senses that this gospel is true. I loved the imagery you created in this discussion while utilizing the cognitive and experiential to explain the balance. And as a marriage and family therapist, that teaching resonated even deeper! So very grateful to you, dear Jared, for your wisdom and faith!!

[@sylviaamitoelau205]

@2:22:20 I like the analogy of Brother Halverson leaving love notes hidden around the house for his wife. This helps me connect that the beautiful creations are evidences that God loves us and wants us to remember Him.

Brother Halverson! As usual, your wonderfully informative and insightful classes provoke a boatload of observations I would love to share if not in person, then via email etc. I continue inadequate to my intentions. But may I at least share here something that was brought to my attention back in 2001 by a friend who did some research and shared this on a radio station KMGR about the Gospel in Genesis.... More precisely in the genealogy itemized in chapter 5. If I was a little more savvy I would share the photo of the transcript she provided to me. The 10 names listed from Adam to Noah translate apparently to the following. MAN APPOINTED MORTAL SORROW THE BLESSED GOD SHALL COME DOWN TEACHING, HIS DEATH SHALL BRING THE DESPAIRING REST. I'm interested in your insights on this! Most sincerely, Varena Terrero

Please thank your family for sharing you. I too watch the videos over and over! God bless you and yours💕

[@lauraclayton4708]

There's so much more to scripture than we can possibly imagine! Joining the meanings of names of this genealogy, leaves us w/ a precious message: Hebrew English Meaning Adam................................ Man Seth...................................Appointed Enos..................................Mortal Cainan...............................Sorrow Mahalaleel........................The Blessed God Jared.................................Shall come down Enoch................................Teaching Methusaleh.......................His death shall bring Lamech.............................The despairing Noah..................................Comfort, or rest I learned from Sister Donna B. Nielsen(sp?), that "If we read the names in order as a sentence, we find: 'Man [is] appointed mortal sorrow; [but] the Blessed God shall come down teaching [that] His death shall bring [the] despairing [comfort &] rest.' Here is the 'gospel' hidden within the name meanings from a genealogy in Genesis!" Thank you, Brother Halverson, for your precious teachings and insights each week! The Spirit feels mighty in what I listen to each and every time! You are a godsend to so many of us and we thank your family for sharing you with us (for we know this is taking precious time away from them). Blessings to you all!

Thank you for all you do. I would love to know your way of explaining how Adam and Eve lived to be so old. It is one of those conversations I had with someone that I was at a loss for words. Through your lessons I have continually been strengthening my own ability to explain the testimony on my heart.

[@ameliasmith8139]

I have used many of your insights while teaching Sunday school. I give all credit to you. The adults love the contextual insights to the Old Testament.

Everlasting Gospel yes indeed. A debt of gratitude to those who like Jesus Christ, Adam and Eve made unselfish choices that have bought to pass the way. Right and wrong, truth and error, misery or happiness this life is a difficult ground to prove one's obedience but its not impossible. There are victors past and present and of course in future days, those unknown in meadows lay, fathers, mothers, uncles, aunts, cousins too. Who paid the price of true discipleship, who pays the price for you.

[@rebeccamcknight934]

I was wondering if the poems you read for this lesson about Cain and Abel and the one on the last lesson about Eve could be written down maybe on FB or IG or even here on KZbin. They were beautiful poems and would love to keep them in my scripture journal.

[@susanhicken6998]

I agree! Looking to find them as well!

[@rainypaynter9827]

Does the scriptures say who baptized Adam and blessed him with the Holy Ghost?

[@susanhicken6998]

It would seem that it was the Holy Ghost the way the scripture reads...but I've wondered about that as well.

[@pedrozatravel]

Nice but you have to watch out in saying that all Cain's posterity is doomed because Lamech and Zillah have Naamah, who is the wife of Mathuselah, who is the father of the Prophet Lamech and the Great Grandfather of Noah. So family lines are important, but no one is condemned forever, either personally or in family tree. We all have agency to be redeemed. People can as you say bend chains towards righteousness, but you also find that everything is interconnected. The thing that matters is what you let have influence in you.

[@JennyG.COW5]

Thank you again for opening our eyes, ears, and heart during this lesson. I appreciate when you help compare what is going on physically to what is happening with relation to the spiritual side of these scriptures. I also enjoy learning more about how the meaning of words, especially in the context of those who recorded the history of God's children, so that we can appreciate the significance of the names and words that are presented in the scriptures. I am glad for the reminder that sometimes we need to understand the things of God intellectually as we harken unto Him (God) and times when we need to understand certain principles of the Gospel with our Hearts. I am also grateful for the reminder to Look Up for answers from God and not just looking side to side at our neighbors for answers. I can feel sympathetic to your investigator who is confused about the different, seemingly conflicting voices when it comes to certain decisions of our day (i.e. policies and opinions as to what to do and how to act with regards to having or not having the jabs, etc.). While I have strived to understand the various "jabs" from various experts and watched for possible consequences, ultimately, I will need to turn to the Lord for help through personal prayer, scripture study, and if needed Temple attendance and Priesthood Blessings. Knowing this helps me to see just how many resources God gives us so He can communicate to each one of us the best things for each one of us. Perhaps for some of us getting the jab is fine. Perhaps others, having the illness is enough. Or whatever. The point is, I am glad for this reminder that some decisions are ultimately between you and God and we should be able to respect the decisions of one another as long as we are ultimately striving to follow God, our Father in Heaven and His Son (our Savior), Jesus Christ.

Question, why was Adam baptized and yet the Hebrews aren't? Was that taken from them at some point?
