Jesus will give me everything at the fullness of time

[@marrta61]

I believe both Zacharius and Elizabeth continued to pray for a child because of the gift of faith that was bestowed upon them 🙏 ❤ ♥7

[@ivanemmanuel2822]

I believe Jesus want to give me everything and not stolen

[@perrymorris3594]

Thank you so much for taking time to share these every week. I feel so blessed that scholars who have spent decades studying will then take personal time and share their knowledge freely to any who care to listen. God bless you both and all of the rest of the BYU team that does such great work so selflessly.

[@BarbaraWatts-q5z]

Thank you both so much. You give encouragement for me to study the scriptures more fully rather than just read them. Thank you for blessing my life. Barbara

[@scripturecentralofficial]

That is our intent! Thanks for sharing!!

[@tcatt222]

Wonderful, concise presentation here. If one will pause to read fully and ponder and talk about the special relationships of all the players here, a depth of spiritual significance plays out. We are so blessed to have access to some of the best teachers in the Church such as we've never had before.

This is amazing will listen again I'm a Walker to my dad was James his dad was Alexander I'm heading to the temple on 27feb to do the work for my 4times great grandmother Elizabeth Box who was married to James walker , sorry for going on but I'm so excited .my dad's brother was Tom too

[@JoyousGenealogist]

I loved the 180 degree angle analogy I never thought of that before or that John died 6 months prior to Jesus to prepare the spirits in the spirit world. Those two insights really helped me learn something new. Love your insights they really do add to my studying and understanding 😊

[@iliek3102]

Thank you. As a convert what you two have taught me has greatly aided my study of Scriptures. I am really grateful.

[@lauranewman564]

My dear friend of nearly 50 years, Camille Fronk Olson, has said that the 4 Gospels could be called the 4 testimonies. Although the "Good News" is appropriate, I love that these are those 4 bearing testimony of the Savior.

Happy New Year! I´m glad I could watch this video lesson and learn more. I´m so grateful to our Father in Heaven for this privilege.

[@MarleeCraig]

Wow, another amazing presentation from the CFM/SC Team. I just loved all the brilliant nuggets of learning and insights. They really do bring added measure and perspective to these timeless stories. I used to always feel sorry for John the Baptist and think 'poor thing, look what happened to him'. I never thought of him as a forerunner for the Saviour after death. How did I miss that? Oh my goodness, It makes sense that this is so, because it also follows the same pattern of their births. I love that this presentation is in two parts. I just love all the beautiful insights about Zedekiah and Elizabeth. The lessons that came from their challenges are also lessons for us. I am enjoying getting to know Mary in a different light too. Thank you Bro Griffin and Bro Halverson for a wonderful lesson ❤️.

[@RH-fh1rn]

What an amazing insight about John! I've learned so much through these videos. Thank you so much!

[@tammykuykendall8641]

I love this show and all the information that I gain from watching. I only have one comment and that is how we skip over the fact that Joseph also had to have a great testimony and how much he followed God’s will. We also know that Joseph had to be a great influence in the life of Jesus Christ. He also must have said Thy will be done for he give his whole life to Mary and Christ, when he could have easily walked away. Joseph and Mary are both great examples in my life.

[@oldgranny410]

So grateful for the insight into the scriptures! Thank you! ❤🇨🇦

[@katherine.mark.26]

Thank you both! Your knowledge, understanding, and personal experiences you shared were made all the more significant to me because of rhe powerful testimonies you bore. Your insights this week were all I hoped for and more. Thank you!

[@hairyelement]

Another lesson to start yet another beautiful day, I myself have ponderered many times, why God has put so many hurdles in my life, now understanding that maybe to only mold me to be a true soldier of Christ. Thank you so much ❤

[@Smile-lc6jn]

Love the new format.

[@AtlasMusicArt]

When it said that the angel was on the right side of the altar it made me think of the angel being on the right hand of God. When we kneel before the altar it can be symbolic of us kneeling before the Lord one day.

[@maryclarelewis594]

Taylor, thank you for sharing your personal experiences; it makes these wonderful lessons even more powerful. ❤️

[@onehumanwoman]

Can't get through one of these videos without tears. You guys are so in tune with the spirit it comes through the screen!

[@sal4gal]

I learn soo much every week! I think “how did I miss this when I read it” haha. I love that you did separate videos on Joseph and Mary, thank you! Like other viewers, I love to listen when I am working, it makes time fly by as I am immersed in learning from both of you!

[@RH-fh1rn]

Thank you so much for your insights. It means a lot to me. We often need to be reminded to trust in the Lord's timing... We often get impatient when we have a great desire for certain blessing. It's hard to see the big picture and trust that our loving and perfect Father in Heaven can.

[@MariaCandelaful]

Great Lesson, as always. When I was studying “Voice” at the University ( I am a SLP) my professor said the case of Zacarías was the first documented emotional mutism that we can talk about.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It has helped me understand it better.

[@genevieveficquet9976]

Thank you for your videos. I can listen to them when I do some chores at home. I like the way to be taught while doing necessary but not so pleasant things. :-). I would like to add some thoughts of mine which came to me while listening to this video. Concerning Elisabeth After decades of waiting a child it is not surprising she wanted to hide until the baby is born. Even if we trust God a little amount of doubt can reside inside ourseleves and in her old age she might have miscarriage before the delivery. The story does not say if she had miscarriages before. It is possible she did not want to add shame (due to social culture) if she had a misscarriage after telling everybody she was pregnant. I would like to add that I think she knew she was going to have a child, probably before her husband. We can imagine Elisabeth sharing the new to her husband and him answering something like "honey, I know how much you are deseperate to have a child, don't you think your revelation might come only from your strong desire? Have faith, after this life we will have children" etc, etc ... so an angel had to come to him to make him believe.... I hope my thoughts are not shocking but we know that our mother Eve knew before Adam what they should do ... and I see many things like that in our time today. :-) :-)

[@elijahhodges4405]

Great, this one has sound.

[@elijahhodges4405]

Luke was contemporary to Paul. We know that Mary lived a long life, and died in Greece. Luke was an intelligent Greek. He knew that the church would not put up with him outing Mary in his writing. She was protected, even guarded. She was moved to keep Rome from finding her. Luke must have interviewed Mary. Without that Luke would not have the story of Mary in Jerusalem. Luke knew Mary.

[@itsgoodforthesoul9749]

[@sandraneale128]

Where do you get that Mary died in Greece, please? Interesting!

[@elijahhodges4405]

@@sandraneale128 You have to look it up for yourself. Mary died in Greece. They even did their best to identify the house she was living in when she died.

I reckon Zacharius would have been a pain if he'd been able to talk 😅 It was totally for Elizabeth 😊

[@mariahaynes5197]

Hi TnT Thank you for your teachings. I love learning from y'all. Could you touch on the name of Mary as "the lesson is in the name" point of view? If i am not mistaken Mary means sea of bitterness. Why would she be described in such a manner by this names meaning?

[@heavyvacation]

I had heard that Luke wrote much of Paul's testimony while Mark wrote from Peter's. Is this true? anyone?

[@stawanda1846]

Ive been thinking that Mary could not have travelled to Jerusalem by herself. She would have had to go in a caravan with some family present. Someone in her family might have been present to hear Elizabeth testify. Mary might have previously told them about Elizabeth's pregnancy. I hope and believe that Mary had a family that believed her, and was supporting her.

[@carolmerrill6241]

You were saying that Elizabeth and her husband could not talk or write to each other. You never said if Mary could correspond with Zacharius. She may have known to write.

[@soraiasmyres4523]

The name of the Angel that appears in Joseph’s dream, telling him about Mary, it’s mentioned anywhere in the scriptures? Thank you.

[@kellywobrockutahthermograp3142]

Excited for a New Year the Old Testament! Thank you for all you teach us!! Now let's talk about your new stem. Looks like you've been moved down to the basement. Maybe you could work on the lighting. There are shadows on the white board. It's distracting and it's hard to see what your writing on the board. 💗 We love you guys. You deserve a better set!

[@davidroberts6422]

I wasn't going to say anything about the lighting, but it really bothers me too. Your comment about being in the basement makes a lot of sense. Your ceiling is not high enough to get the light any higher. That said, I still love these lesson's.

[@janja2040]

@@davidroberts6422 a few lessons ago, someone also commented on the lighting. Scripture Central said that these videos are recorded well in advance, such as half of them are already recorded. They said that they will work on the lighting. ☺

[@nicholecook79]

So excited for this year’s study!! But not so excited for your current background. All the darkness is really a distraction for me, and maybe others as well. Casted Shadows on the board is distracting. Your dark suits against a dark background is causing you to blend in and disappear a little. Is it possible to bring in more light? The Gospel message deserves more light 💡!! 😅

[@davidroberts6422]

I agree with Nichole and Tammy Kuykendall about the lighting on your set. I found this not only distracting, but I seemed to be focusing in it rather than the lesson. Then I started listening to the content and forgot about the lighting.

[@julienordin8308]

Why was it OK for Mary to question, but not Zacharias?

[@emaartamor]

In another KZbin discussion I watch, they think his heart wasn't in the right place.....his answer comes across as "show me a sign", especially when Gabriel afterwards said in essence "hey I'm Gabriel, an angel who stands in the presence of God, doesn't that tell you something?" Mary did kind of ask the same, but I think it was a 'heart condition' thing.

[@garymccain3376]

We have been enjoying your insights for several years. We love the content but I have to say that we do not like the new "cave" setting with the dark background and shadows on the white board.

Luke chapter 3

[@crestachristensen6215]

I was excited to see your interpretation of John coming out of the womb and praising the Lord, but you didn’t touch on that. Was he literally able to speak when he was born?

[@barbmcdonough4901]

There are 4 main people in this account Mary/Joseph and Elizabeth/Zacharius. I wonder if anyone else has thought how Elizabeth had to believe her husband’s account of having a son at her age as she was not privy to seeing an Angel? Undoubtedly she knew Zacharius to be a good and a spiritual man plus he could not does to her so something had to have occurred.

[@juliengel4427]

Why didn't Mary stay with Elisabeth until after John was born? Not the custom to stay for a birth? I thought it was interesting when I read it.

[@lauranewman564]

Sometimes it tales me a minute, so sorry that we're past this, but if John the Baptist's job is to prepare, and if that's his stewardship forever, is it a surprise that he came to restore the "preparatory" Priesthood in 1829? Is that restoration the end/fulfillment of his stewardship?

[@MrLESiPhone]

Love your comments and ideas BUT your new set is very off putting. It is not bright and cheerful as I feel the teachings of Christ should be but is very dark and foreboding. It doesn't match with your message of Glad Tidings. Please go back to the old set.

[@davidroberts6422]

Larry is wright.

[@emaartamor]

This was filmed last year, there is a reply somewhere from them when the first videos came out for this year (ad others didn't like the new setup), that you'll see some tweaks soon. I guess they got to try things out, though I believe the saying 'if it aren't broke don't fix it'.
