  • D&C 37-38 I Temples are Vital for Gathering Before Christ's Return (Restoration Revealed Episode 8) 04.10.2026 18Min.
    Donate to Scripture Central: https://form-renderer-app.donorperfect.io/give/scripture-central/restoration-revealed_yt On January 2, 1831, Joseph Smith received a commandment through revelation to "go to the Ohio" and receive God's law. This revelation expanded on a prior commandment to move to Ohio, emphasizing the purpose of escaping the enemy and being gathered as a righteous people. The revelation also promised that in Ohio, he would receive God's law and be endowed with power from on high. Join Casey Griffiths as he explores Kirtland, Ohio, an old Hawaiian ghost town, and the island of Laie, Hawaii, in search of the connection between the temples of God and the Gathering of the Latter-day Saints before the Second Coming. This episode covers events from Come Follow Me Doctrine and Covenants 37 and 38.

  • Mary the Mother of Jesus 04.10.2026 15Min.
    In the first chapter of Matthew, we read of the genealogy of Jesus Christ including five mothers who each played a critical role in continuing the bloodline of the Savior, but most significant is the literal mother of the Savior, Mary. We are introduced to her before Christ is born, learn of her tender experiences with Him during His life and ministry, and discover she was a witness of His death and a disciple after His ascension to the Father. Only Mary, the mother of Jesus, can claim to be such a unique witness of the Messiah.Uploaded 09-05-20Produced and narrated by Daniel SmithWritten by Heather Ruth PackSpecial thanks to:Appian Media for allowing me to use their beautiful Israel footage (https://appianmedia.org/)If you would like to help translate the subtitles visit: © 2020 Daniel Smith, Messages of Christ YouTube ChannelNo portion of this video may be reproduced, re-uploaded, or copied without prior permission.The products (services) offered by Messages of Christ are neither made, provided, approved nor endorsed by Intellectual Reserve, Inc. or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

  • The Laver and the Washing and Anointing of Priests 04.10.2026 10Min.
    Within the outer courtyard of the Tabernacle of Moses was the bronze laver. It was here at the laver where Aaron and his sons were washed, clothed, and anointed prior to becoming a priest. The laver was also used by the priests for daily ritual washing prior to serving at the Tabernacle. The washing at the laver can symbolize our need to be spiritually cleansed through the atonement of Jesus Christ.Uploaded 20-10-19Sign up for email notifications for new videos here: https://bit.ly/2uV4vloFor more videos on the Life of Christ: https://bit.ly/2FgnMlSFor the text of this video: http://www.redeemerofisrael.org/2019/10/laver-and-washing-and-anointing.htmlSpecial thanks to:Heather for helping edit the scriptJason, Marcus, and Cody for their roles as priests and high priestsIf you would like to help translate the subtitles visit: http://www.youtube.com/timedtext_video?ref=share&v=9ZSfpYClYoU© 2019 Daniel Smith, Messages of Christ YouTube ChannelNo portion of this video may be reproduced, re-uploaded, or copied without prior permission.The products (services) offered by Messages of Christ are neither made, provided, approved nor endorsed by Intellectual Reserve, Inc. or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

  • What the Christmas Nativity Actually Entailed 04.10.2026 13Min.
    We all know the classic Nativity story: stable, shepherds, wise men—but how much of it actually comes from the Bible?In this video, we step behind the scenes of your average Nativity set and into the world of first-century Judea to investigate the infancy narratives of Matthew and Luke. Was there really a heartless innkeeper? A wooden stable? And three kings at the manger?Drawing on archaeology, Greco-Roman culture, and close readings of the Bible stories, this video uncovers a Nativity more politically charged, socially tense, and theologically radical than we ever imagined.If you benefited from this production and would like to offer a contribution, please visit our sponsor, Scripture Central, to make a donation.

Beginning with the well-known scene of Rebekah’s generosity in Book of Genesis—where she offers water not only to Abraham’s servant but to his camels—Dr. Wilson connects this act of selfless service to the covenant marriages that shape the house of Israel. The story then moves to Rachel and Leah, daughters of Laban, whose lives intertwine with Jacob’s through love, deception, longing, and divine promise. Through their marriages, and through the faithful contributions of Zilpah and Bilhah, the foundations of the twelve tribes are laid. Dr. Wilson carefully examines the births of Gad and Asher through Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid, and reflects on the complex family dynamics that shaped Jacob’s household. She also addresses the wives of Esau and the contrasting covenant paths chosen by Jacob and his brother. With insight drawn from ancient context and Latter-day Saint theology, this episode brings forward the voices of these often-overlooked women—Rachel, Leah, Zilpah, Bilhah, Rebekah, and Esau’s wives—showing how their choices, sacrifices, and faith played a central role in God’s covenant story.
