Timestamps:
00:30 - An overview of these chapters.
01:25 - The long lives of the Patriarchs may not have been literal. The Sumerian King List can help give context to their ages.
11:35 - A brief overview of Enoch literature. The name Mahijah in Moses 6.40 was also found on second century fragments discovered at Qumran in 1948.
19:22 - Scriptures are a book of remembrance.
21:25 - Seers see things we cannot see.
32:46 - Enoch’s prophetic call is consistent with the six elements of the narrative call pattern.
35:53 - The Plan of Salvation as taught by Adam and Enoch is the same message the Savior taught. The Atoning Messiah is central to the plan, but was removed from the Old Testament.
50:31 - Another way of understanding “children conceived in sin” in Moses 6.55. This text can be connected to the Fallen Angels or the Watchers in 1 Enoch.
55:54 - Children of Christ versus Children of Satan as portrayed in Alma 5 and its connection to Moses 6.55.
57:25 - “Man of Holiness” in Moses 6.57 can be describing God as a man of the temple or the husband of the divine woman.
1:00:03 - An invitation to find Jesus everywhere.

[@EpidemiologicKid]

Love the podcast! Thanks for all your hard work and love of the scriptures. As an institute graduate while in medical school, those off-campus classes from Dr. Peterson were an oasis from a grueling day of school.

[@loisparrish2146]

Same here!

[@talkingscripture]

So glad it is working for you!!!

[@Ath1337isDerek]

I sometimes find myself starving for real gospel content in Sunday School where we should be doing a much better job, especially with helpful guidelines like “Teaching the Savior’s Way”! In fact I agree with Terryl Givins that we lose so much of our youth bc we bore them to death. So I thank you with my whole heart for a very thoughtful & heavy dose of relevant content & spiritual insight!

[@merlguth5736]

[@talkingscripture]

Thanks!!!!

[@angelinavickers8584]

I have often stated that for so many of your episodes! 🙂

[@lonniemathews6488]

♥️🙏🏻♥️Thank you!

[@2MinuteScriptureStudy]

Thank you so much for this great episode and reminder why we need prophets - they have the world washed out of their eyes and see things clearly! What a wonderulf message in times during which the things going on in the world are everything but clear!

[@NisaNJames]

I think we can see that the prophets see if we learn to see with spiritual eyes as they do. We're told to receive witnesses for ourselves. The testimony of Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophecy. Why do we need prophets? My answer would be that they are special witnesses of Jesus Christ to the world. We can be witnesses of Christ, too, but we don't run the worldwide church or witness to the whole world. I love the way you focused on how they wash the world from their eyes. So much great information. Thanks!

[@jeffmann9886]

Could Moses 6:27 describe what’s it like for humanity to “lose their senses” and when we do the opposite we have “come to our senses?”

[@jaredvaughan1665]

I think the biblical ages are correct. That the early peoples lived longer.
