Lessons from Lesser-Known Jaredites | Ether 5-11 | Come Follow Me | Book of Mormon Master Class #48

[@davidfrey5654]

You give the absolute best classes on the scriptures. Your training is long enough to explore the scripture block but not so long that I can never find enough time to get through the whole lesson. Thank you!

[@johnhiltoniii]

Thanks for your kind words! I'm glad you're part of the master class.

[@serenamg]

I’m so grateful for my ancestors, friends who have passed and loved ones among us. When I attend the Temple, I put names of loved ones on both sides of the veil who are on my mind on the prayer roll. 🙏🏻 ♾️

[@beatricesavasta6710]

Sharp and enriching analysis of well-chosen characters and events in these chapters, thank you, as always.

[@johnhiltoniii]

It’s amazing what we can learn from these lesser-known individuals!!

[@Kristy_not_Kristine]

I love❤the Book of Mormon. Just finished an excellent book called Key to the Keystone. I highly recommend it, whether lds or not, like me.

[@kathyfisher487]

I like how you highlighted the lesser known people. It caused me to reread those versus and ponder your insights. Thank you.

[@johnhiltoniii]

There's so much to learn from these lesser-known individuals!

[@rebeccadwelle2108]

I've never thought about Ether overcoming less than ideal circumstances to become an amazing prophet. Love that!

[@johnhiltoniii]

Yes, it's a powerful principle!

[@pamhall3081]

I laughed when you described the daughter of Jared, saying she was wanting to kill “grandpa.” Not that it was particularly funny, but that it made it seem absurd. Who wants to kill grandpa? And, I’d never thought of it that way. I tend to read through the lists of people and I don’t relate them to each other. Thanks for making these scriptures “real” for me.

[@johnhiltoniii]

It is interesting when you start to see the connections between family members...it definitely makes the scriptures more real!

[@renatemckendry104]

Thank you! Looking forward to the next class! ❤🇨🇦

[@johnhiltoniii]

You bet--coming soon!

Thanks Kathryn!

[@gretchenr2307]

Thank you Bother Hilton!! Love your podcasts!! 10 🌟 stars!!

[@salustone6545]

Thank you so much. I’ve learned more about these particular Jaredites. By the way, didn’t the Jaredites bring animals from where they came from to this land, it says so in the scriptures - that animals were included in their trip to the promised land. Thank you for all your wonderful teachings.👍💗💗💗🙏🙏🙏😊

[@brucelloyd7496]

Yes, they brought a variety of animals including fish, honeybees and other animals.

[@veronicairrazabal]

Great lesson. Thanks you

[@johnhiltoniii]

You are welcome!

[@phoebelim5040]

Mosiahs sons were not away I think he would have continued the kingdom, so reading the Jaredite record and discontinuing kings were not related directly. He wisely discontinued kings because of the risk of division because some people would claim kingship that were not the rightful heir. I'm sure the Jaredite experience made him even more aware of the dangers of that situation.

[@phoebelim5040]

If Mosiahs sons...

[@amberbee6]

i love your classes, thank you

[@tokentonyg]

EXCELLENT!

[@TrueSeekerTruthFinder]

Beautiful lesson, thank you 🙏🏻

[@cherigibbs6091]

Wickedness NEVER was happiness! So true...

[@johnhiltoniii]

Amen!

[@maryannstout7600]

That’s a great idea to celebrate an Ancesters’ Day. My kids are all grown so I’ll suggest that to them. Thanks.

[@johnhiltoniii]

Yes! Ancestor Day is a fun one! :)

[@Kristy_not_Kristine]

I'd love to see a class on false traditions of our fathers, recognizing them and turning from then to God. This is much needed in the lds church today in particular. Especially trusting in the arm of flesh and false prophets/wolves in sheep's clothing.

[@aklben]

Brother Hilton, is there any word if you will do a Master Class for The Doctrine and Covenants? 🙏🏻

[@debraroser985]

Truth

[@brisamar2000]

❤

[@Kristy_not_Kristine]

It is also important to look IN THE RIGHT PLACES to find archeological evidence. They are all found in NA.

[@margiedetiege850]

Re Eth 6:11 It's very interesting to me that when I looked up the meaning of 344 in Hebrew Gematria, one meaning is 'Anointed One.' There's an indirect reference to Jesus Christ. Perhaps an Easter Egg to us from Moroni.

[@johnhiltoniii]

Wow, I have never heard that before, I'll have to look more into that!

[@TheYgds]

Considering that according to Jerry Grover's work, Akish's name means something like "Secret Netherworld Power" and his father Kimnor's name means "Earth's begetter of Ruin", Omer should have seen this coming.

[@johnhiltoniii]

I'm not familiar with that, that does make me wonder, who would name their child "earth's begetter of ruin"!!??

[@deniseclaudio7121]

I enjoy your podcast is it okay to ask questions ❓

[@johnhiltoniii]

You're always welcome to ask questions!

[@Kristy_not_Kristine]

Yes!!! Always ask questions, question everything ❤❤❤

[@deniseclaudio7121]

What exactly does kept in captivity mean? How did they marry & have children?

[@johnhiltoniii]

This is a great question. I wish we had a lot more detail on what that means...

[@deniseclaudio7121]

@johnhiltoniii Thank you

[@JohnnyRapture.]

Jesus is the only way!!

[@johnhiltoniii]

Amen!

[@JIKOKALOL]

Secrecy is darkness.

[@ildenete3235]

As pessoas se matam e fazem guerra, para obter poder fazem combinações secretas, precisam saber de boa fonte que, sabemos através dos escritos sagrados que estão fazendo combinações secretas. E é incrível como seguem ao plano do maligno para roubar matar e destruir ao contrário do plano de Salvação do Pai Celestial que está nas escrituras e todos podem conhecer.

[@daffodil71]

I keep wondering if the scheming daughter of Jared also encouraged Akish to murder her father; and if so when did she plot the second murder? Was it her intent from the beginning to have her future husband become king and she become queen? 🤔

[@johnhiltoniii]

And how did she feel when Akish murdered her son? There’s a lot of mysteries here!

[@daffodil71]

@ Right.

[@tc1897]

Interesting info but kind of annoying how it only seems like men do LDS podcasts. Would really prefer to get my info from a woman. It is as if the church has one flavor..vanilla.

[@bubbalicious797]

There are podcasts by women. There's Lynette Shepard. There's Amber Pearce. There's Barbara Morgan Gardener.

[@johnhiltoniii]

Definitely check out the podcast from my aunt Lynne Hilton Wilson! She's on Scripture Central.

[@alanstander4351]

Like the music and spoken word program, I always thought instead of one voice being narrator they should get a family and have a boy not yet gone thru voice change to give part of it then mom give a quote where her voice fits the situation then have dad tie it all together, then involving a family would become a message in and of its self

[@rhyspeakman25]

Stop complaining and do something about it..entitled much.

[@cjarrant]

You have not done your research. This is a very uneducated comment and rather insulting to brother Hilton who invested significant time in preparing an uplifting discussion.There are plenty of podcasts with women or women as guests. Also, people from a variety of backgrounds, races, education, and life experience. Also, why does it even matter? The scriptures are the scriptures. It shouldn't matter the gender of the person teaching.And finally, if you feel there needs to be more female voices, you could start your own (assuming that you are female).

[@curtcarver392]

Writing for our day Moroni let us know that secret combinations kill prophets as they always have from the beginning. ...𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑖𝑡 [𝑎 𝑠𝑒𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑡 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑏𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛] 𝑖𝑠 𝑏𝑢𝑖𝑙𝑡 𝑢𝑝 𝑏𝑦 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑑𝑒𝑣𝑖𝑙, 𝑤ℎ𝑜 𝑖𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑎𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑠; 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑙𝑖𝑎𝑟 𝑤ℎ𝑜 𝑏𝑒𝑔𝑢𝑖𝑙𝑒𝑑 𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑠𝑡 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠, 𝑦𝑒𝑎, 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑙𝑖𝑎𝑟 𝑤ℎ𝑜 ℎ𝑎𝑡ℎ 𝑐𝑎𝑢𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑚𝑎𝑛 𝑡𝑜 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑚𝑖𝑡 𝑚𝑢𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑟 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑏𝑒𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔; 𝑤ℎ𝑜 ℎ𝑎𝑡ℎ ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒 ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑚𝑒𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑦 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝒎𝒖𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒉𝒆𝒕𝒔, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑚, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑐𝑎𝑠𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑚 𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑏𝑒𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔. Ether 8:25 What prophets have been murdered in our day? Joseph, Hyrum, and we might include Samuel Smith just to be comprehensive.

Ether 8. Only a secret combination within the church would get gain and power from the deaths of prophets. Seeing these things coming among you refers to within and among the church today, and also refers to finally seeing what happened to the Smith brothers by a secret combination that came among the church.
