There are some things in Mormonism that are just plain fun to talk about, debate on and think about. One of those topics is Book of Mormon Geography ideas and theories. Meaning where did the events in the Book of Mormon take place. Now while there are many ideas there are really two that seem to draw the most attention one is the Meso-American Model and the other is the Heartland Model. Today’s episode is all about the Heartland Model, and when talking about the Heartland one man stands above all others in that field, his name is Rod Meldrum and lucky for us he agreed to come on the podcast and have a conversation about the Heartland Model. The results are four and half of evidence ranging from Covenants to descriptions from the Book of Mormon its self, to physical evidence, things Joseph Smith has said, and finally to ceremonial structures in the Heartland of America that if you have been endowed should remind of you a few things. Now while you can certainly get a lot from this episode by just listening, I strongly encourage you to head over to the Mormon Renegade Channel at Rumble so you can see all the pictures and slides. Get ready for an absolutely epic mind blowing conversation.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,800
Man, I am super excited to drop
this episode today.

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:04,100
I think you're gonna really like
this.

3
00:00:04,100 --> 00:00:07,300
There are some things in
Mormonism there, just plain fun

4
00:00:07,300 --> 00:00:10,500
to talk about debate and study
about one of those topics is

5
00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:12,800
Book of Mormon, geography, ideas
and theories.

6
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,200
Meaning, where did the events of
the Book of Mormon?

7
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,500
Take place?
Now, while there are many ideas,

8
00:00:17,500 --> 00:00:19,700
there's really two, that draws
the most attention.

9
00:00:19,700 --> 00:00:22,800
One is the Mesoamerican model
and the other is a Heartland

10
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,700
model.
Today is all about the Heartland

11
00:00:24,700 --> 00:00:27,800
model and that's where there's
this idea that the Book of

12
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,800
Mormon took place in the
heartland of America.

13
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,900
And we talked about this Theory,
one man, stands above all other

14
00:00:33,900 --> 00:00:36,800
in that field and his name's Rod
Meldrum, and lucky for us.

15
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,800
He agreed to come on the podcast
today to have a conversation

16
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,100
about the Heartland model, the
results are four and a half

17
00:00:43,108 --> 00:00:46,900
hours of evidence ringing from
covenants to descriptions of the

18
00:00:46,900 --> 00:00:48,600
land.
In the Book of Mormon itself to

19
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,500
physical evidence things Joseph
Smith had said, and finally to

20
00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:54,400
ceremonial structures in the
heartland of America.

21
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,800
That if you've been in doubt,
might remind you of a few

22
00:00:56,808 --> 00:00:58,800
things.
Now while you can certainly get

23
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,200
a lot from this episode By just
listening, I strongly encourage

24
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,800
you to head, over to the Mormon,

00:01:09,500 --> 00:01:11,700
epic.
Mine blowing conversation on

28
00:01:11,700 --> 00:01:14,100
this episode of the Mormon,
running Aid podcast,

29
00:01:45,100 --> 00:01:47,300
listening to the more Renegade
podcast.

30
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,500
Rod Meldrum, the man, the myth,
the legend, dude.

31
00:01:54,500 --> 00:01:57,900
It's so it's so good to talk to
you again, you know, it's, it's

32
00:01:57,900 --> 00:02:02,500
a pleasure to be here with you.
Dave, I've enjoyed our last It's

33
00:02:02,500 --> 00:02:05,700
been a while since we did one.
I it was it was last summer it

34
00:02:05,700 --> 00:02:09,300
was right after the sale of like
Kirkland and some of those sites

35
00:02:09,300 --> 00:02:12,900
in Nauvoo and that was the first
time we got to got to speak on

36
00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:16,400
air and I I mean I absolutely
had a blast and well that was

37
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,800
just doing her thing, right?
That's it.

38
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:20,900
We're just having a
conversation.

39
00:02:20,900 --> 00:02:25,700
There's no before we get into
the evidence like How did you

40
00:02:25,700 --> 00:02:29,700
get into this, right?
Because you're like, to my

41
00:02:29,708 --> 00:02:34,500
knowledge we know that Sorensen
did some work in South South and

42
00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:40,300
Central America, and that was
kind of his model. but like, The

43
00:02:40,300 --> 00:02:42,400
kind of the original
understanding of the Book of

44
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,200
Mormon, especially when you look
at some quotes by Joseph Smith,

45
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,000
the one when he's on Zion's
Camp, March come to mind.

46
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,400
But really there's a long Gap in
history within the church.

47
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,200
And with the Mormonism in
general that oh it happened in

48
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,500
South America.
So what got you going here on

49
00:02:58,500 --> 00:03:00,100
the Heartland model to begin
with?

50
00:03:01,700 --> 00:03:03,800
But really, I have to give
credit to my parents, you know,

51
00:03:03,808 --> 00:03:07,300
it's kind of like Nephi of old,
you know, I was born of goodly

52
00:03:07,300 --> 00:03:11,300
parents, and my dad served a
mission and the central State's

53
00:03:11,300 --> 00:03:13,700
Mission and search.
For three years, didn't have a

54
00:03:13,700 --> 00:03:16,300
single convert baptism.
And he came back kind of

55
00:03:16,308 --> 00:03:18,800
dejected went to buy a Academy
in my mom.

56
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,600
She's from Saint Louis.
Okay, and they just had, you

57
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,800
know what if we can't my dad
said, if I can't have any, you

58
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,100
know, converts to the church,
you know, my mission, maybe I

59
00:03:30,100 --> 00:03:33,700
can raise up a few.
So my mom and dad were really

60
00:03:33,700 --> 00:03:35,300
committed.
I mean I have to give, you know,

61
00:03:35,300 --> 00:03:39,500
complete credit to them.
You know that they they follow

62
00:03:39,500 --> 00:03:41,500
the gospel.
We got up every morning, we had

63
00:03:41,500 --> 00:03:45,400
scriptures, I read the book and
where in the family with my

64
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,500
family, probably, you know, a
dozen times before I even got to

65
00:03:48,500 --> 00:03:50,500
be, you know, about 16 or 17
years old.

66
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:53,700
They always encouraged us to do
that.

67
00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:57,300
I had these these cassette
tapes.

68
00:03:57,300 --> 00:04:00,500
Remember, those of you are old
enough to remember what a

69
00:04:00,500 --> 00:04:04,400
cassette tape, you're not trying
to cassette tape is that and

70
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,600
they had these dramatized
things.

71
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:11,600
So I really grew up learning and
knowing the stories and some of

72
00:04:11,608 --> 00:04:14,300
the doctrines and every time we
would read this, and I would

73
00:04:14,308 --> 00:04:17,100
read these parts about, you
know, how they come to a

74
00:04:17,100 --> 00:04:20,600
promised land and how they know,
they're just promised land is a

75
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,300
land of liberty and they talked
about it being it, you know, in

76
00:04:23,300 --> 00:04:25,800
the in the future it would be a
mighty Gentile Nation about all

77
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,200
other nations.
They talk about all these

78
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,000
different things like grew up.
I just kind of assumed that gosh

79
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,500
you know that's sounds like the
United States to me. you know,

80
00:04:34,508 --> 00:04:40,300
and so that then I started going
to that Seminary and Institute

81
00:04:40,300 --> 00:04:43,500
and so forth and started being
taught this information about

82
00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:47,600
Central America and how down and
you know got Tamela and southern

83
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,900
Mexico, there was these amazing
civilizations and things and so

84
00:04:50,900 --> 00:04:53,900
I thought well, I'm good with
that.

85
00:04:53,900 --> 00:04:57,600
You know, there are lot smarter
than I am, just a, you know, a

86
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,000
junior high school kid or high
school kid.

87
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,800
And so they must have you know a
lot smarter people than me.

88
00:05:03,808 --> 00:05:06,700
I figured this out.
So I just kind of assumed that

89
00:05:06,700 --> 00:05:13,700
was a case. and then, it kind of
came down to Just after the 2000

90
00:05:13,700 --> 00:05:19,500
to Olympics, and Salt Lake City.
And there was a bunch of There

91
00:05:19,500 --> 00:05:22,200
was, there was a couple of
German reporters that were

92
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,100
interviewing the president
Hinckley.

93
00:05:25,100 --> 00:05:29,400
At the time of the Salt Lake
Church basically and and they

94
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,800
said, what's going to be your
Church's position when DNA and

95
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,200
Ellis is shows that there's no
evidence for the Book of Mormon.

96
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:40,500
And, and I saw, you know, I was
at one of the conferences and I

97
00:05:40,500 --> 00:05:46,800
saw these huge banners and said,
you know, DNA principals and and

98
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,200
actually it's kind of
interesting because that

99
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,200
President hinckley's response
was really kind of it was was

100
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,400
telling he said he says that
this German reporter said what's

101
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,000
going to be your Church's
position, right?

102
00:05:59,100 --> 00:06:06,300
and, and, And his response was
that hasn't been established

103
00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:08,100
yet.
Nobody knows the answer to that

104
00:06:08,100 --> 00:06:09,600
yet.
Not at this point.

105
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,600
It turns out that that was
actually a pretty pretty

106
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,600
accurate statement, but it comes
down to it because that was in

107
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,500
2002.
It was in the talent about 2003.

108
00:06:19,500 --> 00:06:23,400
When when articles began coming
out in mainstream scientific

109
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:28,000
journals talking about how there
was this new, what they call a

110
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:33,200
haplo group or haplotype and
that the found that they just

111
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,200
instead of being Asiatic which
which was the whole problem.

112
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,600
A lot of people don't know what
the whole what was the entire

113
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:44,400
premise of showing, you know,
saying that the DNA could prove

114
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,500
the Book of Mormon and the
premise basically was really

115
00:06:47,500 --> 00:06:52,100
simply David and then that is
that If the Book of Mormon was

116
00:06:52,100 --> 00:06:54,600
correct and you have a group of
people who come over there

117
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,200
basically Israelites.
They come over to the Americas

118
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:03,700
and and they they you know,
survive for a thousand years and

119
00:07:03,700 --> 00:07:07,000
so forth and in there and even
the lame rights continued on up

120
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,600
until the present day.
So so where is the Israelite

121
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,600
DNA, right?
And when they sequence, the DNA

122
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:21,100
from from civilizations up and
down, you know, the from the

123
00:07:21,100 --> 00:07:23,800
Elizabeth in Alaska down to, you
know, Central and South America,

124
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,500
they found that they were
primarily Asian attic.

125
00:07:27,100 --> 00:07:29,100
DNA types.
In other words, that the DNA

126
00:07:29,100 --> 00:07:34,200
markers that are in their in
them have markers, that actually

127
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:40,000
harken back to Asian population.
So, not And not, you know,

128
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,700
Hebrew or Caucasian populations,
right?

129
00:07:45,100 --> 00:07:48,000
So that's really where.
The kind of the the cracks of

130
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,900
where I kind of got started with
this whole thing is I started

131
00:07:49,900 --> 00:07:52,700
researching.
I was working with Dean sessions

132
00:07:52,700 --> 00:07:57,200
and Universal model project, the
scientific information and had

133
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,100
access to some of the top
research libraries in the

134
00:07:59,108 --> 00:08:00,700
country.
So we started, I started doing

135
00:08:00,700 --> 00:08:04,900
kind of Deep dive into the
genetics part of it and and that

136
00:08:04,900 --> 00:08:08,700
I found out that in 2003 these
articles started coming out.

137
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,500
Talking about this happened
group X.

138
00:08:11,500 --> 00:08:16,800
It's a A lineage that isn't
found in Asian populations, but

139
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,800
it is found in modern
populations in the in the druze

140
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,400
population over in Israel.
It's in the Ashkenazi Jews.

141
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,100
It's one of the astronauts of
Jesus, the largest population of

142
00:08:27,100 --> 00:08:30,000
Jews on the planet, right?
In the Sephardic Jews, the

143
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,100
Libyan Jews Moroccan Jews.
Always, diverse, Jewish

144
00:08:33,100 --> 00:08:36,000
populations around the planet.
Have this particular five

145
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,700
markers.
They're in the DNA and I was

146
00:08:38,700 --> 00:08:40,600
like, well, holy cow.
Look, I'm nobody's saying

147
00:08:40,608 --> 00:08:45,500
anything about that, you know,
so right, probably because the

148
00:08:45,500 --> 00:08:48,100
existing South Central American
model, right?

149
00:08:48,100 --> 00:08:52,200
Yeah, yeah.
And and that's really, really

150
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,700
what the red was is that people
were saying, well, this this

151
00:08:55,700 --> 00:09:00,700
proves the book and I will just
have to say that the onset that

152
00:09:00,700 --> 00:09:04,800
I have a bias and I'm going to
admit that right now and that is

153
00:09:04,808 --> 00:09:07,900
that I already know.
The Book of Mormon is true from

154
00:09:07,900 --> 00:09:11,400
a spiritual standpoint.
But because I know it's too

155
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,200
spiritually, it's got to be
true.

156
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,100
Physically.
I mean, you know, the book of

157
00:09:17,100 --> 00:09:20,400
talks about, you know, massive
civilizations that you know that

158
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,400
are, they're just not going to
disappear.

159
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,300
Into the into the night kind of
thing.

160
00:09:25,300 --> 00:09:28,600
You know, it's just that they
just They're too big to actually

161
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,200
just completely have no evidence
for them.

162
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:33,700
And so I thought well where's
the evidence?

163
00:09:33,700 --> 00:09:36,100
Where is the evidence?
And so that's really kind of

164
00:09:36,108 --> 00:09:37,300
what started me.
I had.

165
00:09:37,300 --> 00:09:42,400
I had a young man, I was a young
man's leadership and our and our

166
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,300
board there and And that this
young man of us ready to go on a

167
00:09:46,300 --> 00:09:48,000
mission, right?
Thought he was and he wasn't

168
00:09:48,008 --> 00:09:49,800
going for some reason.
I thought, well, what why,

169
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,000
what's going on with him?
You know why?

170
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,900
Why is he not going?
And then we helped their family

171
00:09:56,900 --> 00:10:02,600
move, and his mom showed up at
my home, a few know, just a

172
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,300
couple of weeks after we helped
him move, and she had this DVD

173
00:10:05,300 --> 00:10:08,600
in her hand.
The DVD says she is DVD.

174
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,000
She said, brother, you do
scientific research, right?

175
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,300
I said, yeah, that's true.
And and she says, well you you

176
00:10:14,300 --> 00:10:17,600
need to watch this.
Looked at I recognized it to me,

177
00:10:17,608 --> 00:10:19,700
it was called DNA versus The
Book of Mormon.

178
00:10:19,700 --> 00:10:24,600
And so, I knew what it was.
I said, so why do I need to

179
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,200
watch this?
She says, because it's true, and

180
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,200
she was in the process of taking
her self and her family out of

181
00:10:31,208 --> 00:10:35,200
the church at the time.
So became a personal personal

182
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,200
thing to me because this is a
wonderful young man.

183
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,900
You know that camp out together
so forth.

184
00:10:40,900 --> 00:10:47,300
And I knew he had at least some,
you know, understanding The Book

185
00:10:47,308 --> 00:10:50,400
of Mormon and so forth, but it's
just it was just it was kind of

186
00:10:50,408 --> 00:10:53,300
heartbreaking for me.
So anyway, So I started doing

187
00:10:53,300 --> 00:10:55,600
this deep dive and started to
find out this information on the

188
00:10:55,608 --> 00:10:58,600
DNA side which is all
interesting and so forth.

189
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,200
But there's but the problem is
that there's no way you can you

190
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:06,100
can you can't really prove the
DNA for absolute certainty

191
00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:10,600
because we don't even know.
You know what what is smells you

192
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,900
know?
Wife's name is, you know, are

193
00:11:12,900 --> 00:11:15,600
really There's what their DNA
looks like.

194
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,600
We don't have any samples from
Lehigh or Soraya or Ishmael or

195
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,800
whatever, but we can tell who
they're not.

196
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,500
I mean, we know that they're not
Asiatic, they're not from the

197
00:11:26,500 --> 00:11:29,600
from, if you have Noah's sons,
we're going to get into that

198
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,200
just a second.
But Noah has the three three

199
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,000
sons him, and japheth, and ham
married egiptus.

200
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,100
And that's where the, the
African race basically.

201
00:11:38,100 --> 00:11:42,100
Made it through Noah's flat and
we have Jake with and he was

202
00:11:42,100 --> 00:11:46,200
blessed by Noah that that his
butt and they became the age yet

203
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,000
people's of the earth.
And then you have Shem and we

204
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,600
know that Lehigh and his family
comes down through the semis

205
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:58,700
semites, right?
And so that's basically you

206
00:11:58,700 --> 00:12:03,800
know, so we know that part of it
and the primary problem was is

207
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:08,700
that the the, the genetics of
the people that in Central and

208
00:12:08,700 --> 00:12:12,100
South America, the Mayans and
the old next hole sex and so

209
00:12:12,100 --> 00:12:15,800
forth, where Prime?
early Asiatic at least from

210
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:21,400
their DNA, Wow, that doesn't go
for the Book of Mormon, right?

211
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:26,100
So, so, this, this was the
problem that we have here.

212
00:12:26,100 --> 00:12:30,400
So, anyway, so long story short,
is that the Clients that started

213
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:35,400
doing this DNA research and
thought well, okay, so we have a

214
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:40,900
potential, you know, at least
this DNA type is not, you know,

215
00:12:40,900 --> 00:12:45,000
Asiatic.
It's it's that it's actually

216
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,600
from the Middle East and they
can show you that.

217
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,400
But then people say well, but it
showed up here like, you know,

218
00:12:50,408 --> 00:12:54,100
40,000 years ago and then they
revised that to about 20 to

219
00:12:54,100 --> 00:12:58,200
23,000 years ago and then they
revised it to like 12,000 years

220
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,400
ago, but all depends on the
dating that you do in the DNA.

221
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,200
And again, that Dave, we kind of
talked about this.

222
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,600
I'm not gonna do a deep dive on
the DNA, part of it, because

223
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,700
we've done that right places.
But this is just kind of how I

224
00:13:10,708 --> 00:13:13,700
got kind of started and that led
to what a Joseph Smith, though,

225
00:13:13,700 --> 00:13:15,500
about all this.
Right.

226
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,200
Because about, because of
everybody in this, this been

227
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,900
sensation.
I mean Joseph Smith had more

228
00:13:21,900 --> 00:13:26,300
actual face-to-face
conversations with these ancient

229
00:13:26,300 --> 00:13:29,500
prophets than anyone, right?
And this is sensation and he

230
00:13:29,500 --> 00:13:32,300
probably knew more about it.
In fact, his mom's specifically

231
00:13:32,300 --> 00:13:37,000
said that he would even before
he got the place, he was shown

232
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,400
so much and told so much by
Moroni when he came, you know,

233
00:13:40,408 --> 00:13:46,300
Angel Moroni basically that he
that he would Regale the family

234
00:13:46,300 --> 00:13:49,400
in the evenings, they'd get
together and he would tell them

235
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,300
about the civilization.
I mean right down to their laws

236
00:13:52,300 --> 00:13:55,900
and the animals that they wrote
and yelling and and, you know,

237
00:13:55,908 --> 00:13:59,400
they're still in so forth.
I mean, he was taught and told a

238
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,000
lot about the incident,
civilization of the book, and

239
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,200
where man, before he even
received the place, Right.

240
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,400
So I wanted to know.
Okay, what did he know?

241
00:14:10,300 --> 00:14:14,200
And that led to a deep dive in
the Smith and and that's why I

242
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,200
started fighting out, you know,
why the Maceo America theory has

243
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,000
kind of helped way because we
found out about these times and

244
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,500
Seasons articles.
And I have done deep, Dives in

245
00:14:25,500 --> 00:14:27,600
the deep in these times and
Seasons articles and so forth.

246
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,700
But turns out that Jonathan
Neville actually helped to

247
00:14:30,700 --> 00:14:34,200
really kind of unravel.
The whole mesoamerica thing

248
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:39,000
because everybody wants to know
if Joseph Smith you know, he had

249
00:14:39,008 --> 00:14:44,400
about six different A historical
accounts where Joseph Smith,

250
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:51,100
specifically, claimed Revelation
and gave us clues about the

251
00:14:51,100 --> 00:14:53,100
geography.
The Book of Mormon, they're

252
00:14:53,100 --> 00:14:56,900
pretty much irrefutable.
And yet somehow, we just ignore

253
00:14:56,900 --> 00:15:01,500
those and then we continue this
with this, that, this meso

254
00:15:01,500 --> 00:15:04,700
America stuff.
And really, it really came down

255
00:15:04,700 --> 00:15:06,600
to like talk to a different
friends of mine.

256
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,600
Who've been heavily involved in
the meso America setting for the

257
00:15:10,608 --> 00:15:13,400
Book of Mormon.
They've they said, well, the

258
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,600
reason why we're trying to be
true that Joseph Smith, because

259
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,700
Joseph Smith said that the times
and Seasons, you know, they

260
00:15:18,700 --> 00:15:24,000
talked about kind of Gua and and
other other locations in Central

261
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,200
America, as being the sights
with the Book of Mormon.

262
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,800
And, and just didn't make any
sense that he was saved by

263
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,300
Revelation.
The Bookworm happened here in

264
00:15:32,300 --> 00:15:36,600
North America and then and then
he's trying to Jesus articles

265
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:41,300
come out, And I started noticing
something that kind of Seasons

266
00:15:41,300 --> 00:15:43,200
articles were not signed by
Joseph Smith.

267
00:15:44,100 --> 00:15:49,100
They were signed Ed for editor
and, and anyway, so we started

268
00:15:49,100 --> 00:15:52,700
doing a deep dive on that.
And we've got a lot of

269
00:15:52,700 --> 00:15:56,000
information that we've that
we've recovered, but basically,

270
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,100
just in a nutshell, we found
that those articles were written

271
00:15:59,100 --> 00:16:02,700
by what the guy that we call the
Smoking Gun.

272
00:16:02,700 --> 00:16:05,900
You remember the Smoking Gun?
Yeah, it is Dave, I don't.

273
00:16:05,900 --> 00:16:11,200
Okay, that's, that's a
Winchester Benjamin Winchester.

274
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,800
That's what we calling the
smoking again.

275
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,300
Nice.
Nice, nice.

276
00:16:16,500 --> 00:16:18,700
Turns out that Benjamin
Winchester.

277
00:16:20,100 --> 00:16:22,400
Was quite an interesting
character in the early church

278
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:27,200
and he was quite a zealot.
He really wanted to bring people

279
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,200
in fact, I think Somewhere, we
have that.

280
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,600
He had almost 240 converts in
this lifetime.

281
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,900
So he was a missionary
missionary Powerhouse.

282
00:16:37,700 --> 00:16:41,000
And and his dad was really close
with the Prophet Joseph Smith at

283
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,900
that Joseph was coming to stay
at their home occasionally so

284
00:16:44,900 --> 00:16:46,700
for.
So he got to know just myth

285
00:16:46,700 --> 00:16:48,000
prettier.
He was one of the youngest guys

286
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,900
on Zion's Camp.
He was 16 years old when he had

287
00:16:50,900 --> 00:16:52,800
his father.
Joined Zion's camp.

288
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,900
Oh, and with Joseph, and they
were there with him.

289
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,900
So this is a guy that's a pretty
you know he's not really well

290
00:16:59,900 --> 00:17:03,600
known in church history but he
did do quite a few things he was

291
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,800
called on a mission to go over
to Europe.

292
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,800
He went over for a couple of
months that I remember correctly

293
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:13,200
and then he basically just
decided he was done and came

294
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,200
back.
He came to Philadelphia.

295
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:20,599
He was in.
He started a He was a bishop of

296
00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:21,800
the church actually there in
Philadelphia.

297
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,400
And then he began having these
debates.

298
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:27,900
This is where it gets
interesting here.

299
00:17:27,900 --> 00:17:31,000
Dave.
Hey, you're folks will like

300
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,900
this.
Because this is, this is all

301
00:17:32,900 --> 00:17:35,700
been verified historically by
Jonathan Neville and a couple of

302
00:17:35,700 --> 00:17:38,500
books that he has out there when
it's called the city of Sarah

303
00:17:38,500 --> 00:17:41,500
hema.
But basically what happened was

304
00:17:41,500 --> 00:17:48,200
is that so he he started, he got
into a series of debates within

305
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,600
kind of Evangelical if you will
Minister's in the Philadelphia

306
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,400
area.
And it was doing really well.

307
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,900
In these debates.
He's actually, you know, a lot

308
00:17:58,908 --> 00:18:01,100
of people considering that he
was kind of winning some of

309
00:18:01,108 --> 00:18:04,400
these debates with his, with his
logic and things.

310
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,200
And then it got to the point
where they started asking well

311
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,600
this book and where I'm at talks
about a highly Advanced people,

312
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,100
highly civilized they had roads
and they had cities and they

313
00:18:13,108 --> 00:18:15,700
had, you know, a written
language and all these different

314
00:18:15,700 --> 00:18:18,200
things and they were doing
snowing and they had metals and

315
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,000
things and and so they were
asking him.

316
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:27,700
So Who is it?
Who, who are, who would, who

317
00:18:27,700 --> 00:18:29,000
were the Knights?
Who were they?

318
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,600
And who are they modern day.
But I said they're left over.

319
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,600
It turns out that he didn't
really have a great answer at

320
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,300
first.
Okay, but just prior to this

321
00:18:41,300 --> 00:18:47,000
time there was a couple of guys
by that's catherwood Stevens and

322
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,500
catherwood.
Frogging my throat here, good.

323
00:18:52,700 --> 00:18:56,300
But the Stevenson Cathy what had
gone down to there a couple of

324
00:18:56,300 --> 00:18:59,400
explorers they had gone down to
10 Central America Mesa America.

325
00:19:00,300 --> 00:19:03,600
and he started to explore some
of these amazing rules that are

326
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,700
just covered with jungle and
it's just really kind of exotic

327
00:19:06,700 --> 00:19:10,900
you know and kind of interesting
and They came back and wrote two

328
00:19:10,900 --> 00:19:14,300
books series called instance of
traveling Central America.

329
00:19:15,300 --> 00:19:19,700
As John Lloyd Stevens and
Stephen Catherine, and, and they

330
00:19:19,700 --> 00:19:21,900
began a book tour.
In fact, it was one of the very

331
00:19:21,900 --> 00:19:25,900
first ever that this book.
This book, two billion book set

332
00:19:25,900 --> 00:19:29,600
was that very first ever what
they call New York Times

333
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,700
bestselling book, then you are,
okay?

334
00:19:31,700 --> 00:19:34,700
Just gotten going.
And this was their first book

335
00:19:34,700 --> 00:19:38,500
that they kind of got me high.
And and these and these two guys

336
00:19:38,500 --> 00:19:41,400
were going up and down the East
Coast doing presentations and

337
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,500
selling the books.
Interesting.

338
00:19:45,500 --> 00:19:51,300
Well, so so Benjamin Winchester
ended up hearing about this, and

339
00:19:51,300 --> 00:19:54,200
he went to one of their they
came to Philadelphia.

340
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,400
And they went to their
presentation about this ancient,

341
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,500
you know, hidden civilization
down in Central America.

342
00:20:00,500 --> 00:20:05,300
And he became like, oh my gosh.
This is the evidence that I need

343
00:20:05,300 --> 00:20:12,800
to be able to Prevail in these
In these debates that we're

344
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,000
having.
Okay.

345
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,900
And so he started and he also
realized something really

346
00:20:17,900 --> 00:20:19,800
important.
He said, if I can just connect

347
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:24,000
the Book of Mormon to this New
York Times bestselling book set.

348
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:29,300
How awesome would that be to be
able to tell people that that

349
00:20:29,300 --> 00:20:32,000
books, that everybody's so
excited about here in America?

350
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,700
It's the Book of Mormon Right.
Right.

351
00:20:35,700 --> 00:20:39,400
It's interesting that that
starts out from a good place,

352
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,900
right?
It doesn't start out from trying

353
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:48,600
to be, um, Oh insincere with the
evidence or anything like that.

354
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:53,400
It's it's a guy trying to to,
you know, back up the claims of

355
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,000
the Book of Mormon Yes, because
he's so eager.

356
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,400
Right?
And I think, I think this is a

357
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:04,300
great Point here, right?
That sometimes, and as people of

358
00:21:04,300 --> 00:21:07,400
Faith, all over the place,
right, this isn't just a Mormon

359
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,200
issue.
This is, this is kind of a

360
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,400
people of Faith problem.
No matter what you're done

361
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,200
denomination, or flavor of
Christianity is We will

362
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:20,700
absolutely sometimes Guam on
some stuff because we think it

363
00:21:20,700 --> 00:21:24,600
proves our point.
Well, it doesn't and then we're

364
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,900
left kind of holding the bag
there a little bit going well,

365
00:21:28,900 --> 00:21:33,100
now, what it do Yeah.
It's basically it's a

366
00:21:33,100 --> 00:21:37,400
confirmation by us.
Yep we started off and we're all

367
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,100
guilty of this.
I mean everybody could does it

368
00:21:39,108 --> 00:21:41,300
basically we start off with the
premise that okay.

369
00:21:41,300 --> 00:21:45,200
We think this is what it is and
then we go out and find the

370
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,600
evidence that supports it but we
ignore the evidence that doesn't

371
00:21:47,608 --> 00:21:49,700
support it right?
Right.

372
00:21:49,700 --> 00:21:53,800
Absolutely yep.
So what happened was that?

373
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:58,600
So Benjamin Winchester, he began
to Prevail in these in these, in

374
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,400
these arguments against the book
of Romans, because, whenever

375
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:02,900
they said, who are you talking
about this?

376
00:22:02,900 --> 00:22:05,700
These ignorant Savages here.
That they, that's what they call

377
00:22:05,700 --> 00:22:09,300
them here in North America and
even that has some interesting

378
00:22:09,300 --> 00:22:12,600
background as far as where did
that term ignorant?

379
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,500
Savages, come from It turns out
that John Wesley Powell and

380
00:22:16,500 --> 00:22:19,800
Lewis Henry Morgan are two guys
that started the Bureau of

381
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,000
Bureau of ethnology.
And with later on became

382
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,700
dismissed Sony and institution,
they began doing, you know,

383
00:22:26,708 --> 00:22:28,800
some, some researchers and
things.

384
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:33,100
There was a couple of books that
came out about the ancient

385
00:22:33,100 --> 00:22:36,300
monuments, is a Mississippi
Valley and others about New York

386
00:22:36,300 --> 00:22:41,300
and anyway, and then the And
that turned out that John Wesley

387
00:22:41,300 --> 00:22:44,500
Powell Lewis Henry Morgan and he
from George Squires for the

388
00:22:44,500 --> 00:22:48,400
three three guys that kind of
started all that. and two of the

389
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,800
guys, Just happened to have
fathers who were methodists

390
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,200
ministers and how many New York
and guess when.

391
00:22:55,900 --> 00:22:58,900
About there now.
Yeah.

392
00:23:00,900 --> 00:23:04,000
So these so these are some of
the guys literally started the

393
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,000
the archaeological.
Protocols, there were no

394
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,800
archaeological protocols back in
time.

395
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:14,300
So it's kind of like go out,
find him out, dig it up, fine

396
00:23:14,300 --> 00:23:18,600
artifacts, you know, do some do
some drawings and so forth you

397
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,100
know write down about him and so
forth and take these artifacts

398
00:23:21,100 --> 00:23:24,700
and and haul him off to
Washington DC or whatever and

399
00:23:24,700 --> 00:23:27,500
put them in and put them in
storage until and tell us

400
00:23:27,500 --> 00:23:30,600
Smithsonian actually became a
you know, an organization that

401
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,100
was you know, funded and so
forth.

402
00:23:32,900 --> 00:23:36,700
So anyway, I've got it, I'm
leaving a bunch of different

403
00:23:36,700 --> 00:23:40,000
loose ends here, but I need to
get kind of connect them up.

404
00:23:40,008 --> 00:23:45,600
So so Lewis Henry Morgan.
He wrote a book called ancient

405
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,300
society and Lewis Henry Morgan
was a contemporary of Joseph

406
00:23:49,300 --> 00:23:51,400
Smith and he's also contemporary
of another guy.

407
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,900
That a lot of people have
probably heard of from over in

408
00:23:53,900 --> 00:23:56,200
Europe.
Anybody heard of Charles Darwin?

409
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:01,800
Yeah, unfortunately, yes.
So, so Lewis Henry, Morgan and

410
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,100
Charles Darwin actually had
letters back and forth to each

411
00:24:05,100 --> 00:24:08,700
other really forth and Lewis
Henry Morgan became quite

412
00:24:08,700 --> 00:24:13,200
enamored with the entire idea of
the theory of evolution, which

413
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,600
is being in pushed by with just
coming out at this point in time

414
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:22,500
by by Charles Darwin and so he
ended up writing a book basing

415
00:24:22,500 --> 00:24:27,200
it on the theory of evolution by
Charles Darwin and it's called

416
00:24:27,208 --> 00:24:30,000
ancient society.
And in his book basically what

417
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,900
he's saying is is that all
civilizations go through three

418
00:24:32,900 --> 00:24:35,600
stages of development, they
start off as ignorant, Savages

419
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,000
they move up to Barbara ISM and
that's religious people.

420
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,500
And eventually they get past the
religious part of it and get

421
00:24:42,500 --> 00:24:45,200
into what they call.
But he called civilization.

422
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,600
And it was in his book that he
called the Native Americans

423
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:49,700
ignorant.
Savages.

424
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,200
And that's that's what was
sticking at the time.

425
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:57,400
Joseph Smith comes along at the
same time and he's saying, no,

426
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,400
the Native Americans are
Hebrews?

427
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,500
They're highly Advanced
civilization, they had written

428
00:25:02,500 --> 00:25:04,400
language.
They had cities and Roads and so

429
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,500
forth and and they were here in
America.

430
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:11,200
And and and there seemed to be
this disconnect.

431
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:12,400
See.
Yep.

432
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,900
Because these evangelicals were
saying, hey, you know, you

433
00:25:15,900 --> 00:25:18,000
talking about this book and
where would be in a highly

434
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,700
civilization, and where is it?
They're just Savages here.

435
00:25:21,700 --> 00:25:24,700
They're just a bunch of, you
know, burying that Hunters a

436
00:25:24,700 --> 00:25:26,600
hunter-gatherer people that were
here.

437
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,200
They never cheated, I think
closest to civilization.

438
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:34,700
And that's the reason why that
was the impetus for for Benjamin

439
00:25:34,700 --> 00:25:40,100
Winchester to, to try to connect
the Book of Mormon with the

440
00:25:40,100 --> 00:25:44,900
highly esteemed to be highly
Advanced Central American

441
00:25:44,900 --> 00:25:49,000
civilizations.
So that's really, that's what

442
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:53,400
was coming down to, and because
of that, not only is he tying it

443
00:25:53,408 --> 00:25:56,000
to a New York Times bestselling
book, okay?

444
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:01,500
But but then, but then he starts
to write, he has this, this

445
00:26:01,500 --> 00:26:07,300
article, he has this, like, A
print, you know, he was printing

446
00:26:07,300 --> 00:26:09,900
this like a, it's not really an
article, it's more like a little

447
00:26:09,908 --> 00:26:12,100
pamphlet.
I think it's called The Gospel

448
00:26:12,100 --> 00:26:17,400
reflector And in the gospel,
reflector the head, the head of

449
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,800
it is the gospel reflector says,
when God works, who can hinder

450
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,800
is kind of his subheading on his
thing.

451
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:29,000
And he was writing these
articles about the about Steve

452
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,700
as a Cathy was books and put it
into these articles and then

453
00:26:32,700 --> 00:26:35,500
printing them and Publishing
them out there to to help with

454
00:26:35,500 --> 00:26:38,600
his missionary efforts.
Well.

455
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,300
Then his problem is is that he
wasn't getting very many

456
00:26:43,300 --> 00:26:46,500
subscribed first and so he
didn't get much money.

457
00:26:46,500 --> 00:26:49,900
And so he spent all of his money
to do the printing and get that

458
00:26:49,900 --> 00:26:54,300
all done and it was going, bro.
And so then he heard through the

459
00:26:54,308 --> 00:26:57,800
through the times and Seasons
that the Joseph Smith's Little

460
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,400
Brother Don.
Carlos Smith had passed away

461
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,700
while he's working on the times
and Seasons.

462
00:27:01,700 --> 00:27:04,000
They're not who this is quite a
few years.

463
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,200
After now, in the meantime,
Benjamin Winchester has been

464
00:27:07,208 --> 00:27:10,500
able to convince a couple other
people like John Page, who was

465
00:27:10,508 --> 00:27:14,500
one of the corner of the 12.
At the time, he convinced him of

466
00:27:14,500 --> 00:27:18,200
the, you know, that we, we just
need to tie the Book of Mormon

467
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:24,200
to this John Lloyd, Stephens and
and and Steven, Cathy would but

468
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,700
book and and we've got, we've
got it made in.

469
00:27:27,708 --> 00:27:30,200
We can we can prove to the world
that the book and where is that

470
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:34,200
is actually a real civilization,
some place here in the Americas,

471
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:39,900
and it's the Mayans Right.
And John Page, he wrote a letter

472
00:27:39,900 --> 00:27:42,400
to Joseph Smith and basically
saying hey you know what is it?

473
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,400
So wonderful that we have this?
This new evidence is coming out

474
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,600
and supported the Book of
Mormon, and, and he tried to get

475
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,000
tried to take all the credit.
He didn't give any credit to to

476
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,100
Benjamin Winchester ultimately
later on it's another story but

477
00:27:57,100 --> 00:27:59,900
the two of them ended up suing
each other over who was going to

478
00:27:59,900 --> 00:28:04,700
get the credit for starting the
mesoamerica setting for the book

479
00:28:04,700 --> 00:28:09,000
of marvelous.
Okay, so, and and they both

480
00:28:09,008 --> 00:28:10,600
became a past dates, bottom
line.

481
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:16,300
So it turns out actually Dave.
That the, that the Mesoamerican

482
00:28:16,300 --> 00:28:20,100
setting for the Book of Mormon
actually originated with

483
00:28:20,100 --> 00:28:24,900
essentially two, or there's
actually a third, three people

484
00:28:24,900 --> 00:28:28,100
who all became apostates to the
to the church, they all left the

485
00:28:28,100 --> 00:28:29,100
church.
Wow.

486
00:28:29,100 --> 00:28:35,100
You know, there's there's yeah.
Yeah there's look and and just

487
00:28:35,100 --> 00:28:38,500
so we're clear if you hold to
the man to the Mesoamerican

488
00:28:38,500 --> 00:28:41,200
model, we're not saying you're
going to go a prostate, we just

489
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:45,300
history matters, right?
Um, and it's going back to the

490
00:28:45,300 --> 00:28:46,900
origins, right?
Exactly.

491
00:28:46,900 --> 00:28:50,800
And you said some other things
in there that I think are worth

492
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,300
kind of talking about here just
for a second, then we'll roll

493
00:28:54,300 --> 00:28:58,800
into the evidence here.
But one of the things, I, I pay

494
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,600
attention this stuff.
I nerd out on this stuff, right?

495
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,900
Not just book a Mormon stuff,
but ancient civilizations.

496
00:29:04,900 --> 00:29:05,700
Period.
Right?

497
00:29:05,700 --> 00:29:11,800
I do, I find him fascinating.
and, When we look at archeology

498
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,100
and and I want to be careful, I
don't want to lump all

499
00:29:14,100 --> 00:29:18,300
archaeologists into one single
monolith, right.

500
00:29:18,300 --> 00:29:23,600
But archeology has really only
been around for just over 100

501
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:29,200
years, right?
As as a discipline. yeah, and I

502
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:33,000
want I want us to think of any
other scientific discipline,

503
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,700
okay medicine.
Physics.

504
00:29:36,700 --> 00:29:42,300
Engineering, you name it, right?
If they did all said hey we've

505
00:29:42,300 --> 00:29:44,700
got it.
All figured out after 100 years.

506
00:29:44,700 --> 00:29:49,000
We would still be using leeches
to fix ourselves medically,

507
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,700
right?
The bleeding people.

508
00:29:50,700 --> 00:29:52,600
Yes.
We still be bleeding people,

509
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,300
right?
Um and so it's kind of silly

510
00:29:56,300 --> 00:29:59,800
that that we think.
Okay so we have this one

511
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:05,500
discipline that's very recent
and in human human Progression

512
00:30:05,500 --> 00:30:11,000
right, human knowledge in
archeology and yet we come to a

513
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:16,200
point now where where we see
that there is almost I don't

514
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,100
want even say politics because I
don't think that's the right

515
00:30:19,100 --> 00:30:22,100
word.
But anything that seems to upset

516
00:30:22,100 --> 00:30:28,500
that current model, Is attacked.
Relentlessly and very viciously,

517
00:30:28,500 --> 00:30:30,000
right?
To the point, it becomes

518
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,400
personal.
Um, we see this with with the

519
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:38,300
Smithsonian, they conveniently
lose artifacts quite often that

520
00:30:38,300 --> 00:30:41,900
don't fit a narrative, right?
We've seen the Clovis first

521
00:30:41,900 --> 00:30:47,700
model constantly be pushed back.
You know, we talked about you

522
00:30:47,700 --> 00:30:51,000
mentioned, you know, kind of
more advanced civilizations.

523
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,500
And when we say Advanced, we're
not talking about our kind of

524
00:30:54,508 --> 00:30:57,500
advanced civilization driving
around in cars and that sort of

525
00:30:57,500 --> 00:31:01,000
thing, we're talking about, you
know, social structures, those

526
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:05,100
sorts of things, And, you know,
just not too long ago.

527
00:31:05,100 --> 00:31:09,000
Go Beckley Tepe gets found in
turkey, and all the sudden that

528
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:13,600
upends everything because the
the assumed model was no, it's

529
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,600
agriculture.
That gives rise to civilization

530
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,200
and then religion follows that
well and go back.

531
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,000
Lee tip, you actually have the
reverse where seems to be

532
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,500
released some sort of religion
that causes people to settle

533
00:31:26,500 --> 00:31:31,100
down in a certain place, right?
And so I think that's something

534
00:31:31,100 --> 00:31:33,900
important we should keep in mind
as we have our discussion here.

535
00:31:33,900 --> 00:31:37,700
For those listening is that you
will are going to get a

536
00:31:37,700 --> 00:31:41,100
different story from mainstream
archeology right.

537
00:31:41,100 --> 00:31:45,600
There are signs now that there's
some pushback and whatnot But

538
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,600
this is a narrative.
I mean, everything that that

539
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,400
archaeologists have said in the
past, may not always be 100%

540
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,900
accurate.
You I know, I know it's crazy,

541
00:31:55,900 --> 00:32:00,000
it's crazy, it's funny every
time there's a science is

542
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,100
settled, it's not really
settled.

543
00:32:01,100 --> 00:32:07,900
Um but it's important to keep in
mind that that archeology is a

544
00:32:07,900 --> 00:32:13,200
very young discipline and it's a
discipline in which unlike a lot

545
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,000
of other disciplines it gets
attacked.

546
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,800
Viciously, if you come out with
something that's counter to the

547
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,300
narrative that that is in place
today.

548
00:32:23,300 --> 00:32:28,100
So I that's fascinating stuff
and and it's always good and I'm

549
00:32:28,100 --> 00:32:30,600
glad you said the table that we
could go back and see.

550
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,600
Okay, this is where the
Mesoamerican model begins,

551
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,500
right?
So that we have a good frame of

552
00:32:37,500 --> 00:32:39,400
reference as we go forward here.
Yeah.

553
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:46,800
Well, yeah.
And there's there's so much Then

554
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,100
when it comes down to
archeology, there is just a lot

555
00:32:49,108 --> 00:32:50,900
of subjective things.
Yep.

556
00:32:50,900 --> 00:32:55,500
Yeah, it really depends on and
this, this happens in pretty

557
00:32:55,500 --> 00:32:58,700
much every field.
You wouldn't think that would be

558
00:32:58,708 --> 00:33:02,400
happening in science that often
because, you know, science,

559
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,500
everybody kind of thinks that
science is just that, you know,

560
00:33:04,500 --> 00:33:06,800
just or looking for is just the
truth, right?

561
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,300
But actually just like everyone
else and every other discipline

562
00:33:10,300 --> 00:33:14,100
there are people who have a
different ideas, who have a

563
00:33:14,100 --> 00:33:18,500
genders, who have, you know,
particular paradigms that they

564
00:33:18,500 --> 00:33:22,100
are working with in that any one
of those things, if it's not

565
00:33:22,100 --> 00:33:25,800
accurate or true can throw off
the entire thing, it's kind of

566
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,800
like, the whole you've heard of
already seen like a house of

567
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,700
cards for people take like
playing cards and they build a

568
00:33:32,700 --> 00:33:35,400
whole house up.
And take is just one of those

569
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:39,100
little cards at the bottom of
the base to be in, to be to not

570
00:33:39,100 --> 00:33:41,300
hold up properly.
And the whole thing goes down.

571
00:33:41,300 --> 00:33:44,700
Absolutely all bills on that.
So, when you, when you start,

572
00:33:44,900 --> 00:33:47,900
From a, from a premise, for
example, that the Bible is

573
00:33:47,900 --> 00:33:51,900
incorrect that the creation
didn't happen like the Bible

574
00:33:51,900 --> 00:33:58,000
talks about for example, that we
instead of being formed an image

575
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,300
of God and placed around the
earth is Adam and Eve.

576
00:34:00,300 --> 00:34:03,200
And then human kind starts that
way.

577
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,800
Instead, if we start to be
leaving the in the Paradigm that

578
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:11,600
the that the humans came from
lower life forms and those life

579
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:16,199
form developed over billions of
years, you know, for was it 3.56

580
00:34:16,300 --> 00:34:19,500
billion years or whatever the
Earth And so forth, then that

581
00:34:19,500 --> 00:34:24,199
changes your overall perspective
and your overall Paradigm and

582
00:34:24,199 --> 00:34:28,199
that's all gonna reflect in the
things that you accept as truth

583
00:34:28,199 --> 00:34:30,000
and the things that you don't
accept those truth.

584
00:34:30,699 --> 00:34:33,900
And this is, this is kind of how
it plays now, there's been, you

585
00:34:33,900 --> 00:34:36,800
know, like there's Timeless,
couldn't did, he wrote a book

586
00:34:36,808 --> 00:34:39,300
called scientific revolution's
and his book.

587
00:34:39,300 --> 00:34:43,600
He basically says that all
Revolutions of thought, go

588
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:48,699
through kind of force steps.
It starts off the, the powers

589
00:34:48,699 --> 00:34:50,800
that be.
They the the current Paradigm,

590
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,900
we'll just ignore the new
information as long as they can,

591
00:34:54,900 --> 00:35:00,300
right?
and then what's, what was enough

592
00:35:00,300 --> 00:35:08,900
of a Groundswell of Convincing
people begins to actually cut it

593
00:35:08,900 --> 00:35:11,500
a little bit into the prevailing
Paradigm.

594
00:35:11,500 --> 00:35:17,100
Then they violently oppose.
It Yeah they'll attack, they

595
00:35:17,100 --> 00:35:19,700
attack it like crazy.
Try to you know, tear it down,

596
00:35:19,700 --> 00:35:22,600
tear it, you know, destroy it,
whatever they can to try to

597
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:27,100
come, you know, keep it back
into their court and then if it

598
00:35:27,100 --> 00:35:29,700
continues to Prevail and
continues to win, over more and

599
00:35:29,700 --> 00:35:33,800
more and more people, then they
begin to quietly accept it.

600
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,400
And try to align with it.
And then the first step is that

601
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,800
they basically say, well, we
that's what we believed all

602
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:40,800
along.
Yep.

603
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,100
Yep.
It's just, you know, except this

604
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:46,100
yeah, that we want.
We always do that.

605
00:35:46,100 --> 00:35:47,300
We always felt that was the
case.

606
00:35:48,300 --> 00:35:51,500
So we've seen that going through
all these different revolutions,

607
00:35:51,500 --> 00:35:56,700
and I think that our country is
going through more revolution's

608
00:35:56,700 --> 00:36:00,800
right now, then probably any
other point in time, meaning

609
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:05,300
political political revolution,
scientific revolution's people

610
00:36:05,300 --> 00:36:09,900
are not as as locked into the
prevailing Paradise.

611
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,000
Yep, which is good.
It's good and bad because I

612
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,900
mean, if people believe in all
kinds of just just weird stuff

613
00:36:15,900 --> 00:36:19,100
right?
You know and then there's um

614
00:36:19,100 --> 00:36:25,000
yeah we live in an age now where
where information is more rarely

615
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,900
available than ever before,
right?

616
00:36:26,900 --> 00:36:33,000
And and so this also in a weird
way it's empowered the Layman

617
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,900
right to a certain extent, to
get out there and do it.

618
00:36:35,900 --> 00:36:40,400
And it really is the Democracy
democratization of information

619
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,200
and knowledge, right?
And when that happens, you're

620
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:49,100
going to get some very wild.
Um, yeah wild ideas out there,

621
00:36:49,100 --> 00:36:52,200
right?
I'm a guy that tends to be more

622
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,900
in favor of everyone.
Bring your stuff to the table,

623
00:36:54,900 --> 00:36:58,300
right?
If it's bad or if it's faulty,

624
00:36:58,300 --> 00:37:01,400
it's gonna show, right?
Um fruit.

625
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:05,400
Yeah, the thing that I wasn't
anticipating about this time

626
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,600
Right, and and I'm old enough I
can remember when the internet

627
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,000
first came around right and I
was playing like internet

628
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,800
Solitaire on Windows now, it's
like this is great.

629
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:19,800
And then all the sudden like it
blows up and and we have all

630
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,300
this information at our
fingertips.

631
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:27,800
And so what it's led to is that
when when the narrative is

632
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,400
challenged at all and then you
see the amount of pushback that

633
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:35,300
comes back that way?
There are people with vested

634
00:37:35,300 --> 00:37:39,300
interests in those models.
And if those models are upset,

635
00:37:40,500 --> 00:37:44,500
That causes somebody to have to
go back at their to their, to

636
00:37:44,508 --> 00:37:50,900
their life's work and say I
built an entire resume off of a

637
00:37:50,900 --> 00:37:54,400
bad premise now.
And, and I want to say that this

638
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,800
too.
And it's something I've

639
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,800
cautioned my audience before on.
And I really believe it.

640
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:03,500
There are things that we know at
our core and this case the Book

641
00:38:03,500 --> 00:38:08,000
of Mormon, right, when, when we
pray about that and we get a

642
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:12,100
witness that is solid.
That is the Bedrock, right?

643
00:38:13,100 --> 00:38:17,600
That's not an idea that is 100%
in our soul.

644
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:22,500
These other things we can have
really strong convictions on and

645
00:38:22,500 --> 00:38:23,800
that's good.
Right?

646
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,900
That's healthy.
But you never want to marry

647
00:38:26,900 --> 00:38:30,500
yourself to an idea.
You want to marry yourself to

648
00:38:30,500 --> 00:38:34,900
truth, right?
Because 100% because when when

649
00:38:34,900 --> 00:38:38,900
if there's a Smoking Gun that
comes along so to speak and

650
00:38:38,900 --> 00:38:43,000
shows hey this is absolutely you
know, kind of Beyond recruit if

651
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,400
you now it passes the mustard
and all these different

652
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:50,700
disciplines, we have to be able
to look at that and not be so

653
00:38:50,700 --> 00:38:54,000
rigid because we've made a bad
idea part of who we are.

654
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:58,000
You want that Bedrock to be
those Timeless principles that

655
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,600
we know for a fact and and
spiritual Revelation to be the

656
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:02,900
Bedrock here.
Going forward.

657
00:39:02,900 --> 00:39:06,400
So yeah, don't don't marry
yourself to an idea.

658
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:10,400
Just marry yourself to truth.
And that really referred comes

659
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,400
down to because but the problem
is is that the world is teaching

660
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:18,700
our kids and and people in the
world that they're really is no

661
00:39:18,700 --> 00:39:21,200
truth.
Everything is relative and and

662
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,300
Truth is basically whatever you
want it to be.

663
00:39:23,300 --> 00:39:27,400
Yeah that there's no reality.
I mean that we that you know if

664
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:32,000
you want to be a furry you can
you know you one day and the

665
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,800
next thing you know you're
you're thinking you're a cat

666
00:39:33,808 --> 00:39:38,200
yeah or something like and the
same thing with the with the

667
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,600
biological you know sex you're
born with and so forth that's

668
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:47,100
somehow just you you're not
you're not constrained by

669
00:39:47,100 --> 00:39:51,100
reality, right?
And the more we have ai and

670
00:39:51,100 --> 00:39:54,800
computers and so forth in our
kids lives that the left, they

671
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:58,500
believe that reality is That
there is a reality, basically

672
00:39:58,500 --> 00:40:03,800
reality is just what you, what
you make it and you create your

673
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:07,400
own reality.
And I think that's really a

674
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:12,100
potentially destructive thing
to, you know, the upcoming

675
00:40:12,100 --> 00:40:16,500
Generations.
But when it's becoming harder

676
00:40:16,500 --> 00:40:19,400
and harder to actually
differentiate between, what's

677
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,000
the what's reality?
And what's AI?

678
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,500
Yep.
So, absolutely.

679
00:40:25,500 --> 00:40:29,100
We're in for some interesting
times ahead from that

680
00:40:29,100 --> 00:40:31,900
standpoint, but I think the
others there's just several.

681
00:40:31,900 --> 00:40:35,200
I mean, when you were talking,
there had several things that

682
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:39,100
were just you know, you know
that you have to be so careful

683
00:40:39,100 --> 00:40:43,300
of Like one of them is, is that,
you know, when it comes down to

684
00:40:43,300 --> 00:40:47,400
the facts, you know, whether the
facts is harder and harder to

685
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,700
identify, what is an actual fact
and what is somebody strong

686
00:40:50,700 --> 00:40:53,200
opinion?
Yes, it's being presented as

687
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,300
fact.
Yep, absolutely absolutely.

688
00:40:56,300 --> 00:40:59,100
So, all right, man.
Should we dive into some

689
00:40:59,100 --> 00:41:02,500
evidences?
Yeah, that's dive into some of

690
00:41:02,508 --> 00:41:05,200
that.
Now, let me let me just share my

691
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,200
screen here, right?
If they jump in here for a

692
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:12,000
second and Can you see that?
Okay, I can see that.

693
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,600
Just fine.
Okay, so this is a quote, my

694
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,700
awesome fire.
He said, the argument does not

695
00:41:18,707 --> 00:41:22,300
create conviction, lack of
argument destroys belief, what

696
00:41:22,300 --> 00:41:26,100
seems to be proved may not be
embraced because everybody has

697
00:41:26,100 --> 00:41:29,300
their own, you know, their
freedom to do it, but no one

698
00:41:29,300 --> 00:41:31,000
shows the ability to defend as
quickly.

699
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,400
Abandoned rational argument does
not create belief.

700
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,700
That means a climate in which
belief May flourish.

701
00:41:37,500 --> 00:41:40,900
And I love that I have used it
from really from the beginning

702
00:41:40,900 --> 00:41:44,000
of my, my, my research and so
forth.

703
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,700
Is that, you know, people ask me
all the time.

704
00:41:46,700 --> 00:41:48,100
Why are you so passionate about
this?

705
00:41:48,100 --> 00:41:49,500
Why do you have to have
evidence?

706
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,600
I can't you just take things on
faith.

707
00:41:53,300 --> 00:41:54,700
And I said yeah.
Yeah.

708
00:41:54,700 --> 00:41:58,900
In fact, in fact, I already know
the Book of Mormon is true from

709
00:41:58,900 --> 00:42:01,900
a spiritual standpoint.
So I do have a bias there, which

710
00:42:01,900 --> 00:42:04,200
is that, which I mentioned in
the beginning writer.

711
00:42:04,900 --> 00:42:07,900
But but you also have to have
rational argument.

712
00:42:08,500 --> 00:42:11,900
For some people they can they
can read the book of Mormon,

713
00:42:11,900 --> 00:42:14,900
they can pray about it, they get
a witness of it and that's and

714
00:42:14,900 --> 00:42:17,700
that's good enough. but I kind
of remind them that, you know,

715
00:42:17,700 --> 00:42:20,300
when it comes down to it, when
we were in the pre-existence,

716
00:42:21,100 --> 00:42:25,300
With our heavenly father.
We are there as Spirit Sons and

717
00:42:25,300 --> 00:42:28,200
Daughters of God, right?
They understand it.

718
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:36,600
And and apparently it's you
know, the the idea basically is

719
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,000
that we want to become like our
heavenly father.

720
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,800
Is he wants us to become like he
is but when we were in that

721
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,500
state, Why couldn't we just say
hey you know what, we're living

722
00:42:46,500 --> 00:42:49,000
with Heavenly Father, we've got
to live forever.

723
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,300
Why can't we just say hello?
Hello game over.

724
00:42:51,300 --> 00:42:54,300
Right?
Let's just stay here and this

725
00:42:54,300 --> 00:42:57,200
state, but we had to come to the
Earth for some reason.

726
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:00,000
And as I understand that reason
was obtained a body.

727
00:43:00,700 --> 00:43:04,000
Right.
Well, what's so great about a

728
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,800
body?
Well, our father has one, right?

729
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,500
And we want to be like he is we
need that we need that

730
00:43:10,500 --> 00:43:12,400
experience, right?
Exactly, right.

731
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,000
So yeah, I mean you just took
the words right out of my mouth

732
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,400
basically, basically, you know,
I mean our bodies just get old,

733
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:22,500
we get you know we lose our hair
so that's coming out of weird

734
00:43:22,500 --> 00:43:24,600
places.
You know, we get diseases, we

735
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:28,100
get sick and eventually we die.
I don't know what so great about

736
00:43:28,100 --> 00:43:29,800
a body.
But I do you know this and that

737
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,200
we can't become just like you
just said we can't become like

738
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,600
our heavenly father as without
it, right?

739
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:40,100
So it's apparently this is my
point, it's not enough just to

740
00:43:40,100 --> 00:43:41,900
have the spirit.
Right.

741
00:43:42,700 --> 00:43:46,400
You have to have this Spirit and
the body inseparably connected

742
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:50,100
and when those two things are
connected, then you have what

743
00:43:50,100 --> 00:43:52,000
the Lord called the fullness of
joy.

744
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:53,500
Yep.
Yep.

745
00:43:53,500 --> 00:43:56,700
When you have the spirit in
that, so people can have a

746
00:43:56,700 --> 00:43:58,600
spiritual understanding of the
book and where women.

747
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:02,100
But when you connect it with the
physical reality, it's a real

748
00:44:02,100 --> 00:44:04,300
history.
Real people, real places, real

749
00:44:04,300 --> 00:44:07,700
events, these things actually
took place and there's these are

750
00:44:07,700 --> 00:44:10,400
recorded in history and we can
see that in the archaeological

751
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:14,800
record and the Linguistics and
and and, and the Metallurgy, and

752
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:18,100
that plants the animals and
everything else that are part of

753
00:44:18,100 --> 00:44:21,000
that overall history.
And we can show that the history

754
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:24,000
is real.
Some people are okay with just,

755
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,300
you know, just kind of what we
call blind.

756
00:44:26,300 --> 00:44:27,600
You know, just say, you know
what?

757
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,400
I got my witness.
I'm good.

758
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:31,900
Right.
Other people say, you know what,

759
00:44:31,900 --> 00:44:35,300
show me something that's real
something that I can actually

760
00:44:35,300 --> 00:44:39,700
you know you know the physically
true.

761
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:45,300
And then maybe I'll at least
believe enough that I can read

762
00:44:45,300 --> 00:44:47,900
the book.
The 70% you can't show me any

763
00:44:47,900 --> 00:44:51,700
evidence for the Book of Mormon.
Any real evidence for it.

764
00:44:51,700 --> 00:44:55,900
Why would I waste my time?
Reading a false history?

765
00:44:55,900 --> 00:44:59,700
Absolutely.
Yeah, you know in, that's what

766
00:44:59,700 --> 00:45:01,400
appealed to me about Mormonism,
right?

767
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,900
I'm a guy who I don't have any
more Mormons on either side of

768
00:45:04,900 --> 00:45:11,500
my family right first generation
and and you know long story

769
00:45:11,500 --> 00:45:15,500
short, the audience knows here.
Um my old man passes away when

770
00:45:15,500 --> 00:45:19,800
I'm a young man, I go on a
looking for God, right?

771
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:24,400
Um, if I had some answers that
did not satisfy me, he did not

772
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:25,900
seem to fit the character of
God.

773
00:45:26,700 --> 00:45:29,500
But in that process, I
discovered in a lot of

774
00:45:29,500 --> 00:45:33,700
religions, and in a lot of
ideologies, you don't get to

775
00:45:33,700 --> 00:45:35,700
have both, right?
You either have to check your

776
00:45:35,700 --> 00:45:40,900
rational, brain out the door and
then just go solely on faith or

777
00:45:40,900 --> 00:45:45,300
you have to check your faith.
And your your gut.

778
00:45:45,300 --> 00:45:49,600
So to speak that Light of Christ
and then and then go totally

779
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:52,100
with you with just your head,
right?

780
00:45:52,100 --> 00:45:56,100
And what I found is is that if
either of those are out of

781
00:45:56,100 --> 00:45:57,900
balance, you're in for some
trouble.

782
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:02,500
Right you whatever you believe
it had better feel good in your

783
00:46:02,508 --> 00:46:05,200
heart and it better feel you
better make sense in your head.

784
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:09,300
Otherwise you're not gonna have
to Witnesses and that's a

785
00:46:09,300 --> 00:46:12,800
problem.
I think in the scientific really

786
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:14,900
call it cognitive dissonance
right?

787
00:46:14,900 --> 00:46:17,400
Where what's your head is saying
and what your heart is saying,

788
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:21,200
or not consistent with each
other, they're at odds, with

789
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:25,700
each other and it creates this,
this this tension all the time

790
00:46:25,707 --> 00:46:28,300
because because what, you're
what your heart is trying to

791
00:46:28,308 --> 00:46:30,100
tell you.
This is true and your head

792
00:46:30,100 --> 00:46:32,800
saying no, no, it's not, there's
something wrong with this.

793
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:36,100
When you Have that?
That tension.

794
00:46:36,100 --> 00:46:39,700
It's, it makes things difficult.
And so, that's, that's part of

795
00:46:39,707 --> 00:46:41,100
what we're doing here.
Basically, what we're going to

796
00:46:41,107 --> 00:46:44,100
talk about here.
Dave is the is some of the, the

797
00:46:44,100 --> 00:46:46,300
physical reality of the Book of
Mormon.

798
00:46:46,308 --> 00:46:49,300
Now, people ask me all the time,
so, you know, why are you so

799
00:46:49,300 --> 00:46:52,300
passionate about this and say,
well, you know, don't you have

800
00:46:52,300 --> 00:46:54,400
faith?
I said, yeah, I have faith.

801
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:57,000
I already know the Book of
Mormon is true and because I

802
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:58,500
know it's true.
I know there's going to be the

803
00:46:58,500 --> 00:47:03,000
evidence, right?
So Faith leads me to action, and

804
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,700
the action is, let's go out and
find the evidence.

805
00:47:06,700 --> 00:47:09,500
Yeah, but we also have to be
looking at, okay?

806
00:47:09,500 --> 00:47:11,700
So what if we don't find
evidence, you know.

807
00:47:11,700 --> 00:47:13,700
I mean people people ask me all
the time, why are you so

808
00:47:13,700 --> 00:47:15,000
convinced in the Heartland
model?

809
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:19,500
And and my answer is, you know,
and until the Lord comes out and

810
00:47:19,500 --> 00:47:24,600
directly reveals this, this
geography, we have to be open to

811
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,900
further like knowledge.
I have always said that I don't

812
00:47:27,900 --> 00:47:30,000
believe that there will be any
prophets in this.

813
00:47:30,008 --> 00:47:32,800
Dispensation, they're going to
contradict what Joseph Smith

814
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,400
said.
So if we Stick with what Joe

815
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,600
Smith said by Revelation.
When he when he cleanse

816
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:40,400
revelation, we know that he was
a prophet of God.

817
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:44,800
We're assuming that he's a
prophet of God here and by his

818
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:48,800
work you shall know them, right?
So if that's the case that I

819
00:47:48,808 --> 00:47:50,900
don't think there were ever
going to be in a bad situation.

820
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:55,000
You know, when it comes down to
something that's going to be

821
00:47:55,008 --> 00:47:57,800
really revealed in the future
because truth is by definition

822
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:02,000
something that is true today.
It was true yesterday and it

823
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,400
will be true again tomorrow.
Absolutely.

824
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:08,200
So past present future is what
truth is that the literal

825
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:10,400
definition of Truth has to do
with the time element?

826
00:48:11,100 --> 00:48:13,300
It has to be true past present
future.

827
00:48:13,300 --> 00:48:16,900
Absolutely.
And so, if Joseph Smith is in

828
00:48:16,900 --> 00:48:20,900
the, in the, in the current says
some things and so forth and he

829
00:48:20,900 --> 00:48:24,200
was accurate, then that is not
going to be contradicted in the

830
00:48:24,207 --> 00:48:26,100
future.
No, that's right.

831
00:48:26,100 --> 00:48:28,100
All right, so let's just kind of
jump into some things.

832
00:48:28,100 --> 00:48:32,300
So when I jump in there, Dave,
you see this?

833
00:48:32,300 --> 00:48:33,000
Okay?
Yep.

834
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,800
Can see that just reveal your
test fight to the geological

835
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:40,500
geographical location of the
Book of Mormon Yeah, and other

836
00:48:40,500 --> 00:48:43,700
words can we know can we know
what we have over?

837
00:48:43,700 --> 00:48:46,300
Yeah I mean where in the world
is the Book of Mormon?

838
00:48:46,300 --> 00:48:47,400
Where did it take place?
Okay.

839
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:49,300
Where is Sue?
Mean, this is our underlying

840
00:48:49,300 --> 00:48:51,400
assumption that the Book of
Mormon is an actual history of

841
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:53,700
real people of places and
events, right?

842
00:48:53,700 --> 00:48:57,300
And where in where in the
Americas did it happen, although

843
00:48:57,300 --> 00:48:59,600
I will have to say that there's
been actually Book of Mormon

844
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:01,700
geography is that have been
proposed even in Malaysia.

845
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:03,900
No.
See that.

846
00:49:03,908 --> 00:49:08,300
Yeah, and South America and all
kinds of places, right?

847
00:49:08,300 --> 00:49:10,500
That makes that in just a
second.

848
00:49:10,500 --> 00:49:12,700
But so where is the promised
land of the Book of Mormon?

849
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:18,700
Um, why is this even important?
When we're going to go into

850
00:49:18,700 --> 00:49:20,000
that.
So you know the research

851
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:23,900
hierarchy before we were going
to use as the as our first and

852
00:49:23,900 --> 00:49:28,800
foremost, you know, evidence
here, we're going to use the

853
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:31,800
scriptures.
Then we use does a Smith we're

854
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:34,200
gonna use that other profits
while their profits, okay?

855
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:38,600
Okay, and the current method for
doing geography.

856
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:42,400
Research of the book and mermen
was kind of it was originally

857
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:44,500
set up by John search, but he
had the most influence,

858
00:49:44,500 --> 00:49:48,000
basically, and this John
Sorensen, he had wrote this book

859
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,700
called Mormons map.
He did it earlier book called

860
00:49:50,700 --> 00:49:54,100
the Central American setting for
the book.

861
00:49:54,100 --> 00:49:56,600
I'm wearing.
And but the current method says

862
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:59,600
that, essentially what you did
have to do is you have to just

863
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:01,800
use just the book passages
themselves.

864
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:06,000
So there's about 550 passages in
the Book of Mormon that deal

865
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,800
with geography, things like
narrow passages and narrow

866
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:12,100
passes and narrow necks and you
know, and North and South

867
00:50:12,100 --> 00:50:15,500
directions and so forth.
And you kind of take all those

868
00:50:15,500 --> 00:50:18,600
550 passages and you create what
they call it internal map.

869
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:22,100
The contractor, the construct,
an internal map.

870
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:27,200
So, this is basically the idea
is that in internal or

871
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:29,500
hypothetical map, then you
create this hypothetical map.

872
00:50:29,500 --> 00:50:33,000
And you see if you can actually
Place it onto a real world

873
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:35,100
setting.
In other words, is there any

874
00:50:35,100 --> 00:50:37,400
place that actually works for
that?

875
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:41,100
And and according to his book,
he says, at least 80 different

876
00:50:41,100 --> 00:50:45,900
versions of bookmarks have been
produced and they're all over

877
00:50:45,900 --> 00:50:49,100
the place from the entire
hemisphere to just like, you

878
00:50:49,100 --> 00:50:54,700
know, a really small area just
in New York to Chile to Malaysia

879
00:50:54,700 --> 00:50:56,800
to, you know, I mean there's all
these different Maps.

880
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:01,000
And I'm kind of reminded a
little bit of the situation

881
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,300
going on.
Joseph Smith's day, Yeah, you

882
00:51:03,300 --> 00:51:07,600
had the burned over to New York,
you had people coming in and

883
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:12,200
preaching.
You know, the Bible, basically

884
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:16,800
to the people and they were all
these different denominations.

885
00:51:17,900 --> 00:51:20,200
Right, but I'll use it the same
book.

886
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:24,300
Write all kinds of different
conclusions and it caused what

887
00:51:24,300 --> 00:51:28,400
into this myth mind because a
massive confusion I think is how

888
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:29,300
we put it.
Yep.

889
00:51:29,300 --> 00:51:31,800
Yeah, it was incredibly
confusing.

890
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:36,000
We had the same thing going on
basically and all the

891
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,700
restoration, you know, branches
of the church and so forth.

892
00:51:38,700 --> 00:51:41,400
Alright.
Alright everybody who loves the

893
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:44,800
book and there's always
different ideas, like like he

894
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:49,200
said about 80, there's actually
over and over 150 different

895
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:52,100
geographies that have been
proposed.

896
00:51:52,100 --> 00:51:54,800
So the result has been
tremendous, confusion, a

897
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,500
plethora of Notions, that holds
no promises that producing a

898
00:51:57,500 --> 00:52:00,200
consensus.
Actually, there has been kind of

899
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:03,300
a consensus that has swirled
around the base of Americans

900
00:52:03,300 --> 00:52:07,400
said for for a number of years.
But now there's really kind of

901
00:52:07,408 --> 00:52:10,100
just two primary ones that the
Mesoamerican setting and the

902
00:52:10,100 --> 00:52:12,900
Heartland said there's other
ones out there, but they don't

903
00:52:12,900 --> 00:52:16,900
have any really, any track with
any significant number of people

904
00:52:16,900 --> 00:52:19,600
got you.
And it's been, it's been a real,

905
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:25,500
a real battle to, to get the
Heartland model that, that we

906
00:52:25,500 --> 00:52:32,400
believe that is more true to
Joseph Smith, then made some

907
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:36,200
Americans.
And that's because Yeah, both

908
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:37,600
sides.
I will have to say this though,

909
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:39,900
both sides, the Mason America
side as well as the Heartland

910
00:52:39,900 --> 00:52:42,700
side.
Both of us are trying to uphold

911
00:52:42,700 --> 00:52:46,600
what we understand.
Joseph Smith to have said, Or

912
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:51,400
taught or whatever.
The problem is, is that history.

913
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:56,100
History is never perfect and we
never know exactly what really

914
00:52:56,100 --> 00:52:59,000
transpired because everything in
history is written by.

915
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:04,100
You know the historians right
and many times the historians

916
00:53:04,100 --> 00:53:05,400
didn't actually live the
history.

917
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:07,300
They they're commenting about
it.

918
00:53:07,300 --> 00:53:11,400
Based on you know all kinds of
things and historians just like

919
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:17,300
everyone else can have agendas.
Absolutely So yeah, people are

920
00:53:17,300 --> 00:53:19,500
recording history.
You know, there's people who

921
00:53:19,500 --> 00:53:22,500
talked about Joseph Smith in a
very positive light, and there's

922
00:53:22,500 --> 00:53:24,900
also people who are
contemporaries of other Smith

923
00:53:24,900 --> 00:53:28,900
who basically thought that he
had, his family were were

924
00:53:28,900 --> 00:53:31,500
really, really bad people.
Yep.

925
00:53:31,500 --> 00:53:35,200
They were dysfunctional.
They were into, you know, black

926
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:39,900
magic and cultic arts and so
forth and so on and and they

927
00:53:39,900 --> 00:53:42,900
expressed their opinions too, in
their their histories.

928
00:53:42,900 --> 00:53:45,000
Yep.
So which history is true?

929
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:51,100
you know, that that becomes that
this is why the hierarchy of of

930
00:53:51,100 --> 00:53:55,300
witnesses is such an important
part, you know, just like in a

931
00:53:55,300 --> 00:54:00,900
court of law, you know, you have
if you have somebody who is You

932
00:54:00,900 --> 00:54:03,700
know, a bomb on the street and
then you know, and you have the

933
00:54:03,700 --> 00:54:07,300
high price attorneys and so
forth and they give testimony

934
00:54:07,300 --> 00:54:11,400
they're going to probably let 10
to, you know, juries and judges

935
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:13,600
are going to probably tend to
listen to the high price

936
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:17,400
eternities and so forth more
than they are some on the

937
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:18,700
street.
But if the bomb on the street,

938
00:54:18,700 --> 00:54:21,100
just happened to have a video
camera with them, and he

939
00:54:21,100 --> 00:54:25,000
recorded the event and you can
see it in real time, you know,

940
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:28,600
happening, right.
And then the bums testimony

941
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:32,800
actually can be more important
than everybody else's opinion

942
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:35,100
about what happened absolutely.
Oh.

943
00:54:35,100 --> 00:54:38,400
So there's there's hierarchy of
opinions here that's going on.

944
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,600
That we need to be needed to
take a look at, you know what,

945
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:42,400
what were the motives of the
people.

946
00:54:42,408 --> 00:54:45,100
And that's the hardest part
because we never really know for

947
00:54:45,100 --> 00:54:47,900
sure what somebody's motives are
unless they specifically State

948
00:54:47,900 --> 00:54:50,700
what they are. but when people
say that they want to drink the

949
00:54:50,700 --> 00:54:53,700
blood of Joseph Smith and they
write a history and so forth,

950
00:54:53,700 --> 00:54:56,600
you got to assume that the
history that they're giving of

951
00:54:56,600 --> 00:55:00,500
Joseph Smith is somewhat biased
against them just a little just

952
00:55:00,500 --> 00:55:08,600
a little um Yeah.
Yeah, so sources meant matter a

953
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:12,200
lot and it's just not history.
We find ourselves in with this

954
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:16,100
conundrum, right?
I'm a Lancer there by

955
00:55:16,100 --> 00:55:19,400
profession, right?
And one of the things that's

956
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:23,100
often talked about the most is
trying to go back to the

957
00:55:23,100 --> 00:55:27,600
original intent, right?
And so, you know, a surveys

958
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:30,800
originally laid out, you know,
if we go back East, you know,

959
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:36,000
sometimes 16 1700, right, and
they tell you what they're

960
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:39,800
trying to do, and they have some
very crude measuring methods,

961
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:43,800
right?
And don't take into account, you

962
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:46,800
know, way of land, and that sort
of thing and slope distance

963
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:49,500
versus horizontal distance,
that's sort of stuff.

964
00:55:49,500 --> 00:55:53,600
And we come along with our fancy
measurements, you know, with GPS

965
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:56,400
and and, you know, lasers and
that sort of thing.

966
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:59,300
And yeah, we can make
measurements, but it may not fit

967
00:55:59,300 --> 00:56:03,100
the original intent, right?
And so, Understanding.

968
00:56:04,300 --> 00:56:07,700
Original intent, is someone
important here too, right?

969
00:56:07,700 --> 00:56:11,900
Because just as you said, if the
intent is to disparage, Joseph

970
00:56:11,900 --> 00:56:16,700
Smith, well you have to then
weigh that appropriately and say

971
00:56:16,700 --> 00:56:20,300
maybe some of the more
outlandish claims you have to

972
00:56:20,300 --> 00:56:24,300
take with maybe eight grains of
salt instead of one because

973
00:56:24,300 --> 00:56:26,600
that's obviously going to be
slanted.

974
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:29,100
Heavily.
Yes.

975
00:56:29,100 --> 00:56:32,000
Yeah, but it also happens.
The other direction too.

976
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:35,700
I mean, you know, so alright.
Somebody who is a very nefarious

977
00:56:35,700 --> 00:56:38,000
person, but you asked their
family members?

978
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:41,500
Well, is this person a good
person or not and more than

979
00:56:41,500 --> 00:56:43,200
likely.
Oh yeah, he's wonderful.

980
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:45,900
Fantastic and so forth.
Well, did he just robbed this

981
00:56:45,900 --> 00:56:48,800
Bank?
Did he just you know, run over

982
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,400
these people and so forth?
Well, you know, that's not

983
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:53,600
really.
I guess what I'm saying is is

984
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:56,800
that you can, it can go on both
sides, your absolutely can't.

985
00:56:56,800 --> 00:57:01,100
Yep, which is part of the reason
why historians are taught that

986
00:57:01,100 --> 00:57:05,100
you never, you never tell a
history from one side because

987
00:57:05,100 --> 00:57:07,700
you just tell one side is
propaganda, right?

988
00:57:07,700 --> 00:57:11,600
But you have to be careful to
understand where the history is

989
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:13,100
coming from.
There's gonna be those who are

990
00:57:13,107 --> 00:57:17,700
going to be Pro and those are
being con if you can find

991
00:57:17,700 --> 00:57:20,900
somebody who's kind of in the
middle and then that's great,

992
00:57:20,900 --> 00:57:23,400
you know?
But but a lot of times you can't

993
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:25,600
find somebody who's going to be
in the middle because because

994
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:27,200
the only reason why they're
riding because they're either.

995
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:30,800
Pro or con, right?
Absolutely otherwise, they don't

996
00:57:30,808 --> 00:57:33,600
care.
Anyway, so, long story short, is

997
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:35,800
basically we've got these that
these hypothetical maps about

998
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:39,900
150 of them.
If we have a method and I've

999
00:57:39,900 --> 00:57:42,400
been in doing scientific
research long enough to know

1000
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:44,800
that if you have a proper
method, it should tend to limit

1001
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:46,900
the number of outcomes and not
expand them.

1002
00:57:48,300 --> 00:57:50,300
So in other words, when you do
experiments, you're trying to

1003
00:57:50,308 --> 00:57:53,200
eliminate okay, we can now we
can eliminate this, we don't

1004
00:57:53,207 --> 00:57:54,000
have to worry about this
anymore.

1005
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:58,200
Now we can eliminate that and we
can try to hone down into what

1006
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:00,200
the truth is.
Right.

1007
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:03,000
Yes.
Method is literally expanding it

1008
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:06,500
ever ever more.
I mean, yeah, it's, it's, it's,

1009
00:58:06,500 --> 00:58:09,600
it's whatever somebody wants.
And the other thing is, is that

1010
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:12,900
when it comes in the geography
the book and where man, he's 550

1011
00:58:12,900 --> 00:58:14,700
passages, if they were really
clear.

1012
00:58:14,700 --> 00:58:17,900
Why is it that we have 550
geographies?

1013
00:58:17,900 --> 00:58:19,500
Right?
Right.

1014
00:58:19,500 --> 00:58:22,200
Yeah.
I mean I had 150 geographies.

1015
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:27,200
Yeah.
I I knew what you meant there.

1016
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:29,400
Yeah.
And that's a problem, right?

1017
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:34,200
The more variable the more
variation you can have in the

1018
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:37,200
model.
The worst the the worst that's

1019
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:38,800
going to be.
It's like aiming at a Target,

1020
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:41,500
right?
If you're sights are off and

1021
00:58:41,500 --> 00:58:44,600
you're spread is huge right?
Well, that's no good.

1022
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:46,700
You want to be able to get that
in there and you want to start

1023
00:58:46,700 --> 00:58:50,100
dealing with some some level of
certain Keys within that.

1024
00:58:50,100 --> 00:58:52,600
So that you start to narrow it
down.

1025
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:55,600
It's very hard.
I mean, for example, when it

1026
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:58,200
comes down to what is the
overall physically extended the

1027
00:58:58,207 --> 00:59:00,300
geography?
Well, you know, I mean, for

1028
00:59:00,300 --> 00:59:02,400
example, several times the book
and Romans says, and they

1029
00:59:02,408 --> 00:59:05,400
traveled many days journey and
then they and that was It right,

1030
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:07,300
right?
How many, as many days journey?

1031
00:59:07,300 --> 00:59:11,000
Well, if you go to the Book of
Mormon, you basically have times

1032
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:13,700
where it says, you know, that
the many days was like, three

1033
00:59:13,700 --> 00:59:15,000
days.
Another time.

1034
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:16,800
The Book of Romans, says, many
days.

1035
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:18,800
I said he lived many days and
then he died.

1036
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:21,000
So, it was an entire lifetime,
right?

1037
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:25,500
So, which is it when they have
many days journey, is it a

1038
00:59:25,500 --> 00:59:27,800
lifetime's journey?
Or is it like two or three days

1039
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:29,000
or is it somewhere in the
middle?

1040
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,300
And, you know, so there's
there's lots and lots of

1041
00:59:31,300 --> 00:59:35,700
subjective things that we don't
know what exactly they meant by

1042
00:59:35,700 --> 00:59:38,400
that.
So the current method basically

1043
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:43,300
we have stuff all over the map
where everywhere you know I mean

1044
00:59:43,308 --> 00:59:47,600
not not here go there you know
this means this means that and

1045
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:52,700
so forth and so we have all
these different ideas and but

1046
00:59:52,700 --> 00:59:57,000
everybody kind of holds you well
with it says, You know this many

1047
00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:00,100
days journey that means this,
right, right.

1048
01:00:00,100 --> 01:00:04,000
And we hang and we hang on to
that like if it's some kind of a

1049
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:08,200
fact when it's really not and
that leads us to basically what

1050
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:13,300
this next slide which is been.
Once we've once we've come to

1051
01:00:13,308 --> 01:00:16,900
our conclusion and we just run
it, just keep holding onto

1052
01:00:16,900 --> 01:00:20,800
everything, you know, he's still
hoping and cleaning to

1053
01:00:20,808 --> 01:00:23,700
unrealistic expectations.
That's adorable.

1054
01:00:26,300 --> 01:00:29,700
Expecting different expecting to
use the same method over and

1055
01:00:29,700 --> 01:00:31,300
over again and get somehow
different results.

1056
01:00:31,300 --> 01:00:33,700
We all know that that's the
definition of insanity.

1057
01:00:33,700 --> 01:00:34,900
Yep.
Yep.

1058
01:00:34,900 --> 01:00:37,200
Well, that's what, that's what
we're talking about here.

1059
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:40,900
Why are we still using the same
method if this if it's not

1060
01:00:40,900 --> 01:00:42,100
working?
Right?

1061
01:00:42,100 --> 01:00:44,400
So if we're gonna have a
different method, what would

1062
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:46,300
that method incorporate?
What would we do?

1063
01:00:46,300 --> 01:00:48,500
How would how it would be
different?

1064
01:00:48,500 --> 01:00:52,500
And that's a basically so that
you know, the answer to that the

1065
01:00:52,500 --> 01:00:54,500
Bookman wasn't written for his
geography.

1066
01:00:55,500 --> 01:00:58,900
And nowhere gives us the exact
situation or boundaries we can

1067
01:00:58,908 --> 01:01:01,200
definitely be located with that
fear of error.

1068
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:04,300
That's George you can.
Yeah, interesting but the

1069
01:01:04,308 --> 01:01:06,800
current method is working this
new method needed and what would

1070
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:09,300
that method be?
What we're basically saying is

1071
01:01:09,300 --> 01:01:11,500
that we need to begin with the
friend foundation of the

1072
01:01:11,508 --> 01:01:14,000
scriptures, but we need to
utilize the scriptures for the

1073
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:17,300
reason why they were preserved
in the first place, right?

1074
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:22,400
As it possible that we can learn
more about the geography of the

1075
01:01:22,408 --> 01:01:25,300
Book of Mormons to a study of
its prophecies.

1076
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:29,100
Then we can try to speculate
about narrow next to land in

1077
01:01:29,100 --> 01:01:32,100
their own passages.
I see, I see so rather than

1078
01:01:32,100 --> 01:01:35,400
focusing just on the
geographical passages.

1079
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:39,000
Let's look at some of the
surrounding other evidence and

1080
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:43,700
what what comes to pass, From
the last, you have it put here

1081
01:01:43,707 --> 01:01:46,500
in the slide, the physical and
the spiritual as well.

1082
01:01:46,500 --> 01:01:49,300
Yeah.
So what was the purpose?

1083
01:01:49,300 --> 01:01:50,500
The Book of Mormon was
preserved.

1084
01:01:50,500 --> 01:01:53,100
And actually, we all kind of
know that the main purpose of

1085
01:01:53,100 --> 01:01:56,500
the Book of Mormon is to
actually testify of who Christ,

1086
01:01:56,500 --> 01:01:59,500
right?
But interestingly enough, that's

1087
01:01:59,500 --> 01:02:04,100
not exactly what the lord gave
to Joseph Smith in Revelation

1088
01:02:04,100 --> 01:02:07,100
and and section three of the
Doctrine and Covenants.

1089
01:02:07,900 --> 01:02:11,200
Okay, it says, and this is what
the so this is a revelation

1090
01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:14,300
given to Joseph Smith.
He says this testimony, so come

1091
01:02:14,300 --> 01:02:16,200
to the knowledge of the name.
And I said, the limits of the

1092
01:02:16,207 --> 01:02:18,600
Israelites, for this very
purpose, are these plates

1093
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:20,400
preserved.
So here, the Lord is telling

1094
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:22,400
Joseph Smith.
Why would these places

1095
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:24,900
preserved?
What was because it contains

1096
01:02:24,900 --> 01:02:27,800
these records that has the
promises of the Lord that

1097
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:30,500
they're going to be fulfilled
and the late nights make come to

1098
01:02:30,508 --> 01:02:32,600
the knowledge of their fathers.
They might know the promises of

1099
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:35,600
the Lord and believe in the
gospel and rely on the merits of

1100
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:38,600
Jesus Christ.
So basically why was the place

1101
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:41,900
preserved in the first place?
It was oh go ahead.

1102
01:02:41,908 --> 01:02:43,400
Sorry.
I thought that was these

1103
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:46,000
promises.
So these promises would be made

1104
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:48,400
known.
And then they could be

1105
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:49,900
fulfilled.
Right?

1106
01:02:49,900 --> 01:02:53,700
Okay, and as I started looking
at this, I said, okay.

1107
01:02:53,700 --> 01:02:57,200
So somebody's clearly somebody's
having written about these

1108
01:02:57,200 --> 01:02:59,200
promises and these prophecies,
right, right.

1109
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:02,300
And they looked around, I
couldn't find anybody who had

1110
01:03:02,300 --> 01:03:06,600
done a deep dive into the
prophecies and the promises in

1111
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:09,000
the Book of Mormon that were
talking about.

1112
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:12,200
In fact, here's the fourth Nephi
says that he did hide them up.

1113
01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:15,600
The plates under the Lord, that
they might come again, unto the,

1114
01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:18,900
remnant of the House of Jacob,
according to the prophecies and

1115
01:03:18,900 --> 01:03:22,400
the promises of the Lord.
There's these prophecies and

1116
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:25,600
these promises that are the
reason why the plates were even

1117
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:29,800
preserved in the first place.
Now, my hope is that someday if

1118
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:36,000
we ever find 116 pages that got
lost right, the First part of

1119
01:03:36,008 --> 01:03:41,300
that is like, the map section
refer to map a.

1120
01:03:41,300 --> 01:03:44,700
Yeah, B.
And then you can put throughout

1121
01:03:44,700 --> 01:03:46,200
the text but obviously, we don't
know.

1122
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:49,700
It'll be really nice if we had
something like that in the Book

1123
01:03:49,700 --> 01:03:52,200
of Mormon.
But we don't, So what about

1124
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:54,400
these prophecies and Promises,
if that's, the reason why the

1125
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:58,200
place were preserved, is it
possible that we can know more

1126
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:03,800
about the the, the, the, the,
the geography through a study of

1127
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:06,200
the spiritual?
The past, it's over.

1128
01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:09,700
The geographical ones that have
led to 150 different

1129
01:04:09,700 --> 01:04:11,700
geographies.
And that's what this question

1130
01:04:11,700 --> 01:04:14,100
might right here is basically,
you know, can we?

1131
01:04:14,100 --> 01:04:17,600
Can we do that?
Well, so you have to kind of go

1132
01:04:17,600 --> 01:04:19,800
back to the very origin.
Just like you have to go back to

1133
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:22,200
the, where do the book?
Where did the book and where men

1134
01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:25,300
mesoamerica Theory come from?
Where did it stem from?

1135
01:04:25,308 --> 01:04:28,800
What was its Origins?
You go all the way back to, you

1136
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:32,400
know, Benjamin Winchester and
John Page and how they were

1137
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:35,600
pushing us on Joe Smith and and
so forth.

1138
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:38,400
And they're trying to get Joseph
Smith on board and Joseph Smith,

1139
01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:43,500
you know, didn't try and
ultimately William Smith, Joe

1140
01:04:43,500 --> 01:04:49,800
Smith little brother and and
Benjamin Winchester, they didn't

1141
01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:52,800
Winchester left his gospel
reflected, that kind of left

1142
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:54,600
that hanging, that's one of my
Cliffhangers.

1143
01:04:54,600 --> 01:05:01,400
So, yeah, he went to he left
Philadelphia, when he found out

1144
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:05,400
that Jesus Little Brother Don,
Carlos Smith had passed away a

1145
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:07,800
work on the Tendencies and he
wrote a letter which is still

1146
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:10,200
extend.
It's still in existence, the

1147
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:13,200
original letter and they
basically he says, oh my gosh.

1148
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:15,200
Yeah I'm so sorry to hear about
your brother Joseph.

1149
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:18,400
You know, who could possibly
take his place on the times of

1150
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:19,700
the seasons.
Right.

1151
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:24,000
A month later he shows up.
He leaves Philadelphia, he comes

1152
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:27,900
to Nauvoo and he basically
begins to help on the times of

1153
01:05:27,900 --> 01:05:30,400
the season.
Now Joseph Smith that there's

1154
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:33,600
too much here to go into and
podcasts of this Lane.

1155
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:36,000
So you know, we're just we're
gonna keep it a little bit

1156
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:39,000
shorter but basically if you
want to get the entire book,

1157
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:41,900
it's called the last
civilization velocity of zero

1158
01:05:41,900 --> 01:05:45,800
Hamlet by Jonathan Neville and
it's just a fabulous historical,

1159
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:48,000
Deep dive.
I mean it has all the historical

1160
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:50,600
background information and
references and so forth so you

1161
01:05:50,607 --> 01:05:51,800
can actually go and look it up
yourself.

1162
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:54,000
You don't have to trust him or
his research.

1163
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:56,400
You can actually just look it up
yourself and see what happened.

1164
01:05:57,200 --> 01:06:01,700
But the bottom line is, he shows
up there because he had had some

1165
01:06:01,700 --> 01:06:05,900
success in arguing the Mason
America side.

1166
01:06:05,900 --> 01:06:10,100
They are doing for the book and
women using these, this instance

1167
01:06:10,100 --> 01:06:12,900
of Travelers Central America
books by John Lloyd Stevens and

1168
01:06:12,900 --> 01:06:20,300
Cathy wood, he wanted to help
that membership of the church to

1169
01:06:20,300 --> 01:06:23,100
have a good way of explaining
this as well.

1170
01:06:23,107 --> 01:06:28,200
So he was trying to get Joe this
myth on board and just Smith

1171
01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:33,200
kind of wasn't doing it.
So he basically he and William

1172
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:34,400
Smith.
Colluded.

1173
01:06:35,100 --> 01:06:37,100
To place articles that he had
published.

1174
01:06:37,100 --> 01:06:40,600
Previously, this is how we know
for sure it was him because he

1175
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:43,100
published these articles in
Philadelphia and his gospel

1176
01:06:43,100 --> 01:06:45,300
reflector.
And then, essentially the same

1177
01:06:45,300 --> 01:06:47,100
articles show up in the times
and seasons.

1178
01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:51,400
Copy and paste, essentially,
basically copy and paste it in

1179
01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:52,600
the Time of the Season times and
Seasons.

1180
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:56,000
What happens in some issues
because they had the, the male

1181
01:06:56,000 --> 01:07:00,900
service there was was corrupt.
And, you know, people would say

1182
01:07:00,900 --> 01:07:03,800
in their money into to subscribe
to the times and Seasons, the

1183
01:07:03,800 --> 01:07:06,700
money would be gone from their
envelopes that, you know, that

1184
01:07:06,700 --> 01:07:11,800
the, the postage was was the
post office was correct there.

1185
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:16,700
That was handling, the Naboo
area and they were not getting

1186
01:07:16,700 --> 01:07:18,200
enough money from the
descriptions.

1187
01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:21,000
They were also being starved of
information.

1188
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:24,200
So many of the Brotherhood had
gone out and we're doing

1189
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:27,600
missions and so forth anyway.
So they were, they were looking

1190
01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:29,900
for any kind of information they
could put in the times and

1191
01:07:29,908 --> 01:07:33,600
seasons.
And so, William Smith and and

1192
01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:43,300
Ben, and to fulfill that void by
putting in Winchester's

1193
01:07:43,300 --> 01:07:44,800
articles, and the times and
Seasons.

1194
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:46,800
Well, when Joseph Smith found
out about it later on.

1195
01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:49,600
He was Pretty ticked off and he
acted.

1196
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:54,200
In fact, he even he, even
censored, Benjamin Winchester

1197
01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:57,600
really, there's an article that
came out in the tendencies that

1198
01:07:57,600 --> 01:08:01,200
Benjamin Winchester is hereby
silenced or many further

1199
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:05,600
preaching and so forth because
of he was, does Smith was so

1200
01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:08,600
upset about it, he was that mad.
He was like you're done.

1201
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:13,400
Yeah we Jonathan I did a deep
dive, it's called so Smith new

1202
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:17,500
version 2.0.
I did a deep dive about eight or

1203
01:08:17,500 --> 01:08:21,600
nine ten years ago.
Johnathan Neville's additional

1204
01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:25,300
research makes it even more
absolutely clear what was going

1205
01:08:25,300 --> 01:08:29,700
on and these times and seasons
of Articles at after they did

1206
01:08:29,700 --> 01:08:33,399
the first time Joseph Smith
called him to repentance the

1207
01:08:33,399 --> 01:08:35,800
second time.
They did, it was about six

1208
01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:40,600
months later, he says, September
does Smith not only.

1209
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:42,399
He shut down the times and
Seasons.

1210
01:08:42,399 --> 01:08:46,200
He fired his own brother and
Winchester and kicked them out

1211
01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:49,500
of the times and seasons.
And then but he couldn't, he

1212
01:08:49,500 --> 01:08:52,800
couldn't do a retraction and
Jonathan explains that because

1213
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:57,000
they had at the time there was a
lot of anti sediments going on.

1214
01:08:57,000 --> 01:09:01,899
There was this, this, this
another publication that was

1215
01:09:01,899 --> 01:09:06,700
that was attacking the church.
Just miss little brother William

1216
01:09:06,700 --> 01:09:10,000
responded with what with the
beginning to publish.

1217
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:12,800
What he called The Wasp, you
know, what is the WASP?

1218
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:17,200
Do it stings.
So, so anyway, it was, it was a

1219
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:19,200
tough time at that point in time
at the church.

1220
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:22,200
And so Joseph Smith couldn't
really print a retraction

1221
01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:25,200
because it would reflect on the
fact that he wasn't actually

1222
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:31,500
able to edit.
And in fact, we have evidence

1223
01:09:31,500 --> 01:09:34,600
that he in many times many
instances, he didn't even know

1224
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:38,500
what was coming out in the pens
and Seasons until after it come

1225
01:09:38,500 --> 01:09:41,399
out interested.
But yeah, boilerplate of the

1226
01:09:41,407 --> 01:09:45,000
times and seasons and says, the
time of seasons is owned on

1227
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:48,500
operated and printed in probably
by Joe Smith and not who

1228
01:09:48,500 --> 01:09:52,000
Illinois on the corner Bain
Street and Water Street, or

1229
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:57,400
something like that. but it was
just, that was just a I think

1230
01:09:57,407 --> 01:09:59,900
that they would always put in
the bottom of it just to give

1231
01:09:59,900 --> 01:10:02,800
credibility to the paper and
they're asking.

1232
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:06,800
So if Joseph, Smith was actually
printing setting, the type and

1233
01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:09,300
we know he wasn't doing that, he
was too busy to do that.

1234
01:10:09,300 --> 01:10:11,800
He had lots of other things on
his plate, running it running

1235
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:14,900
the city of Nauvoo and then I
will Legion and being, you know,

1236
01:10:14,900 --> 01:10:18,100
and properly.
Governor Boggs was was trying to

1237
01:10:18,108 --> 01:10:22,300
Target him for potential
assassination, attempt and Etc.

1238
01:10:22,300 --> 01:10:27,100
So he was a busy guy, right?
He didn't have time to be sit

1239
01:10:27,100 --> 01:10:30,100
there and watch the Tennessee.
So, bottom line is that we've

1240
01:10:30,100 --> 01:10:32,800
been able to show definitively
through church history.

1241
01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:37,600
That Joseph Smith was not
responsible for, and if that

1242
01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:41,600
took action against those who
played these mesoamerica

1243
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:45,700
setting, stuff into the times
and seasons, He never agreed

1244
01:10:45,700 --> 01:10:47,100
with it.
So let's set that.

1245
01:10:47,100 --> 01:10:50,300
So if we if we just go back to
the this information here,

1246
01:10:51,500 --> 01:10:54,300
coming back to the scriptures
and basically using them for

1247
01:10:54,300 --> 01:10:58,100
what they're actually meant for.
One of the questions that comes

1248
01:10:58,100 --> 01:11:00,400
up, where is the first recorded
land of promises scripture?

1249
01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:05,800
Well, I, I don't know if it uses
that term, but I would think the

1250
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:08,800
first time that, that the
Heartland would be mentioned

1251
01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:12,900
would be, you know, essentially
Genesis, and the Book of Moses

1252
01:11:12,900 --> 01:11:16,300
and Abraham because that's where
the Garden of Eden is yeah.

1253
01:11:16,300 --> 01:11:18,800
Yeah, exactly.
Usually, when I asked this

1254
01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:22,400
question, Dave, that's kind of
say, where would you expect the

1255
01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:25,700
earliest recorded Land Of
Promise in the scriptures where

1256
01:11:25,700 --> 01:11:28,100
you think it'd be Genesis?
And I said, and that's the

1257
01:11:28,100 --> 01:11:29,900
first, that's the first
incorrect answer.

1258
01:11:30,700 --> 01:11:34,800
All right.
But you're right.

1259
01:11:37,300 --> 01:11:38,200
The other two that you
mentioned.

1260
01:11:38,900 --> 01:11:42,600
Which is Abraham and Moses.
So let's let's go to Moses

1261
01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:45,500
chapter 6.
And and this one, it basically

1262
01:11:45,500 --> 01:11:49,800
says that let me move this just
a little bit here so I can see

1263
01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:52,400
this little better.
Okay.

1264
01:11:55,200 --> 01:12:00,300
Okay, it says an Enos who was
Enos, he was a grandson of Adam,

1265
01:12:00,300 --> 01:12:05,000
he lived 90 years and he began.
And notice the spelling of Kenan

1266
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:08,000
here c.
I n a n, right, okay.

1267
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:09,900
So that's different than the
Canon of the old world.

1268
01:12:09,900 --> 01:12:14,000
Let's just see a n a, a n.
An Edison and the resident of

1269
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:17,200
the people of God, came out of
the land called xuan and dwelt

1270
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:20,200
in a land of promise.
Which he called after his own

1271
01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:24,000
son, whom he named Canaan.
So this, this the first mention

1272
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:26,200
of the land of promise anywhere
in the standard works.

1273
01:12:26,900 --> 01:12:31,400
Is here in Moses, chapter 6,
verse 17, and it was named after

1274
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:35,700
Adam's great-grandson.
Okay, and where was this land of

1275
01:12:35,700 --> 01:12:37,500
promise located?
Where was it?

1276
01:12:37,500 --> 01:12:39,900
Where was this?
Because this this is

1277
01:12:39,900 --> 01:12:42,500
establishing the very first land
of promise.

1278
01:12:43,300 --> 01:12:47,500
And Dr. Kevin section 107, the
the Lord revealed to Joseph

1279
01:12:47,500 --> 01:12:49,600
Smith at 3 years before Adam
died.

1280
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:54,600
He called Seth Enos and Canaan.
You see, this is the order atom

1281
01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:59,600
has Seth, who had Seth, and he
has had Cain, and Also my Leo

1282
01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:01,800
Jared in the thus love, we're
all high priest with the

1283
01:13:01,800 --> 01:13:05,800
resident of the prosody
righteous into the valley, and

1284
01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:09,100
I'm on there, be stowed upon
them his last blessing.

1285
01:13:10,300 --> 01:13:13,600
So, so from from when Adam and
Eve were expelled from the

1286
01:13:13,608 --> 01:13:17,400
Garden of Eden and they were now
living their life out here in

1287
01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:20,900
the world.
Basically, we know what the

1288
01:13:20,907 --> 01:13:25,300
Garden of Eden was located.
Okay, by Revelation.

1289
01:13:25,300 --> 01:13:28,400
And here we have three years
before his death.

1290
01:13:28,400 --> 01:13:31,800
So Adam lived to be what 930
years old, right?

1291
01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:37,500
He's atom is 927 years old at
this point in time and he

1292
01:13:37,500 --> 01:13:40,500
gathers all of his righteous
posterity together at this place

1293
01:13:40,500 --> 01:13:43,700
called Adam.
And right, so let me ask you a

1294
01:13:43,700 --> 01:13:46,100
question.
If they started off at the

1295
01:13:46,100 --> 01:13:47,900
Garden of Eden, the Garden of
Eden was in Missouri.

1296
01:13:47,900 --> 01:13:52,900
And then night, you know, 100,
excuse me, 927 years later,

1297
01:13:52,900 --> 01:13:58,200
they're still there in Missouri.
How far did they go?

1298
01:13:58,200 --> 01:14:01,700
Did they did they go to other
continents that they go to other

1299
01:14:01,700 --> 01:14:03,500
you know, other other parts of
the earth?

1300
01:14:03,500 --> 01:14:07,100
Well, it doesn't appear like it
seems like I mean that we know

1301
01:14:07,108 --> 01:14:09,600
that they had to physically be
there to receive the blessing

1302
01:14:09,600 --> 01:14:11,500
under the hands of the father
Adam, right?

1303
01:14:11,500 --> 01:14:16,100
Right.
So This Land Of Promise, then we

1304
01:14:16,100 --> 01:14:21,200
feel very confident that this
land of promise is here, right?

1305
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:24,400
This area.
And just in case anybody was

1306
01:14:24,400 --> 01:14:26,600
wondering, there's a sign.
Yeah.

1307
01:14:28,100 --> 01:14:30,300
Yeah, looking for a sign.
There's a sign.

1308
01:14:30,300 --> 01:14:32,700
Okay, this is the valley of Adam
on them.

1309
01:14:32,700 --> 01:14:33,600
Right?
Right.

1310
01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:36,500
And we know exactly where this
atom on Amazon is located

1311
01:14:36,500 --> 01:14:38,000
because Joe Smith received
again.

1312
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:43,500
This is not speculation, this is
revelation section, 116, the

1313
01:14:43,500 --> 01:14:45,800
doctor and Cummins basically
says Spring Hill, is named by

1314
01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:49,000
the Lord, Adam on the almond.
Because he says it's the place

1315
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:51,400
where Adam should come to
business people or the Ancient

1316
01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:53,600
of Days shall sit the spoken by
Daniel the Prophet.

1317
01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:59,200
Then this this is said to be
near White's Ferry at a place

1318
01:14:59,208 --> 01:15:01,300
called Spring Hill and Daviess
County Missouri.

1319
01:15:01,300 --> 01:15:06,600
This is a pretty dang, exact
Revelation, right?

1320
01:15:07,500 --> 01:15:09,400
Right?
And so far, I've never heard of

1321
01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:12,800
anybody talking about the two
and one, two atom on the Almond

1322
01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:14,300
Theory.
Right, right?

1323
01:15:14,300 --> 01:15:16,800
Right.
You something else that I think

1324
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:19,900
is?
Is super fascinating.

1325
01:15:19,900 --> 01:15:27,200
Is that the winding up scene?
Is in the same place as kind of

1326
01:15:27,200 --> 01:15:28,500
the beginning.
Yeah.

1327
01:15:28,500 --> 01:15:31,100
Right.
The Lord returns back to the

1328
01:15:31,100 --> 01:15:34,800
place of Covenant.
Um yes and and that's super

1329
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:37,200
important.
I think keep in mind here too,

1330
01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:41,300
is because I think we see this
pattern more often than not and

1331
01:15:41,300 --> 01:15:45,300
in scripture and in the accounts
here is going back to the

1332
01:15:45,300 --> 01:15:47,800
beginning, so to speak.
Yeah.

1333
01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:51,600
Well and when when Scott has
established a promised land,

1334
01:15:51,608 --> 01:16:00,000
does that land error?
Become not a Promised Land.

1335
01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:05,200
I mean does it lose its Promised
Land status at some point?

1336
01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:09,400
I can't there's a promise on
demand or the people Right.

1337
01:16:09,400 --> 01:16:13,000
Yeah I can't think of a time
where it's lost its status right

1338
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:16,900
now, people may grow Wicked and
be cast off the land, but that

1339
01:16:16,900 --> 01:16:19,900
doesn't mean that the land
itself isn't promised.

1340
01:16:19,900 --> 01:16:21,900
It just means you're not
righteous enough to dwell upon

1341
01:16:21,900 --> 01:16:24,000
it.
That's right.

1342
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:26,800
And we're gonna get into that
and just a second, from a

1343
01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:29,300
scriptural standpoint.
Yeah, so there's another sign

1344
01:16:29,300 --> 01:16:31,100
there.
But that, so this cannon is over

1345
01:16:31,100 --> 01:16:36,600
here in this general area, right
on Monday and You know that the

1346
01:16:36,600 --> 01:16:40,700
Garden of Eden Missouri.
If you will, that area is the

1347
01:16:40,700 --> 01:16:44,300
promised land called Canaan.
Now then we get down to a point

1348
01:16:44,308 --> 01:16:48,100
where there's this this profit
and Adam's time for.

1349
01:16:48,100 --> 01:16:52,400
You know what I should say.
Adams lifetime frame by the name

1350
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:54,800
of who's this guy?
No one.

1351
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:58,200
It's Noah.
Yeah, and so Noah is gonna build

1352
01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:00,000
an ark.
The people have become so

1353
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:02,200
wicked.
That they basically, it's the

1354
01:17:02,200 --> 01:17:04,900
Lord can't allow.
This is interesting thing that

1355
01:17:04,900 --> 01:17:06,200
we're gonna get into a little
bit more too.

1356
01:17:06,200 --> 01:17:10,600
As that the when you have a
Promise Land, There is a

1357
01:17:10,608 --> 01:17:13,300
covenant, right?
And God made the Covenant with

1358
01:17:13,300 --> 01:17:16,200
these people and Adams posterity
that, as long as they were

1359
01:17:16,200 --> 01:17:19,100
righteous, they get to stay on
this Promised Land which is been

1360
01:17:19,100 --> 01:17:22,900
given everything that they need
to prosper and to, and to

1361
01:17:22,907 --> 01:17:25,700
succeed.
Yeah, I mean, you know, from

1362
01:17:25,700 --> 01:17:29,400
natural resources and so forth.
I mean, basically, they're going

1363
01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:31,100
to be able to see in this
Promised Land.

1364
01:17:31,108 --> 01:17:34,000
They're actually promised that,
but when the people turned their

1365
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:39,400
backs on God, God can't allow
Wicked people to remain on this

1366
01:17:39,400 --> 01:17:42,900
special land that he said up
specifically for his purposes.

1367
01:17:42,900 --> 01:17:44,900
And we're going to talk about
that here just a second because

1368
01:17:44,900 --> 01:17:48,300
it has to do with Noah here.
Anyway, so we have no ability

1369
01:17:48,300 --> 01:17:50,000
Ark know where to Noah build the
ark then.

1370
01:17:50,900 --> 01:17:52,900
It would place in America.
Yeah, yep.

1371
01:17:52,900 --> 01:17:55,800
Some place in the Heartland,
now, interestingly enough,

1372
01:17:55,800 --> 01:18:01,400
according to biblical sources,
The Arc ended up over in the

1373
01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:03,900
mountains of air at over in
Turkey.

1374
01:18:05,200 --> 01:18:12,400
Um, there have been people
members of the church and so

1375
01:18:12,407 --> 01:18:16,200
forth that have said that Noah's
fled was not really a real

1376
01:18:16,200 --> 01:18:17,400
event.
It didn't really happen.

1377
01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:21,700
It was maybe a local event or
maybe it was just symbolic.

1378
01:18:22,500 --> 01:18:25,500
Right, how do you symbolically
get the ark?

1379
01:18:26,300 --> 01:18:31,100
From America to to Mount Airy or
how does that happen in a local

1380
01:18:31,108 --> 01:18:32,500
flood?
Right.

1381
01:18:32,500 --> 01:18:34,700
Right.
He does.

1382
01:18:34,708 --> 01:18:36,500
It doesn't happen if it's
localized.

1383
01:18:36,500 --> 01:18:41,300
The other to me about the flood
is we have a lot of different

1384
01:18:41,300 --> 01:18:45,800
floods from a lot.
It seems almost ubiquitous from

1385
01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:50,100
society, just society.
And interestingly enough as of

1386
01:18:50,100 --> 01:18:53,900
late, if we look at the
Washington scablands some new

1387
01:18:53,900 --> 01:18:58,400
research on the Grand Canyon
that does not seem to be a time

1388
01:18:58,400 --> 01:19:00,900
in Memorial kind of event.
Right.

1389
01:19:00,900 --> 01:19:04,800
Well, it starts looking more
like a catastrophic kind of

1390
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:08,900
event that doesn't quickly.
Exactly.

1391
01:19:08,900 --> 01:19:12,300
So, you know, so the really The
Book of Mormon actually,

1392
01:19:12,300 --> 01:19:14,200
testifies is, you know, that the
Book of Mormon actually,

1393
01:19:14,200 --> 01:19:18,400
testifies of Noah's flood.
Kind of indirectly because when

1394
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:23,500
when Nephi and his and the, you
know, the Lehigh Colony,

1395
01:19:23,500 --> 01:19:27,700
basically arrived in America.
They said that they have that

1396
01:19:27,700 --> 01:19:30,100
there's a there's a part in the
book environment, but they say

1397
01:19:30,100 --> 01:19:34,900
that, it says, when we got here,
he said that the After the flood

1398
01:19:34,900 --> 01:19:37,700
water received from off the face
of this land, this is actually

1399
01:19:37,700 --> 01:19:40,900
talking about the jaredites.
just for the flood waters,

1400
01:19:40,900 --> 01:19:45,100
receded, from off the face of
this, land, it again became a

1401
01:19:45,100 --> 01:19:48,700
promise land because it had been
cleansed Interesting.

1402
01:19:48,700 --> 01:19:51,300
Okay.
That's which means the flood

1403
01:19:51,300 --> 01:19:53,600
waters were over in America as
well.

1404
01:19:53,600 --> 01:19:58,100
Yeah, before the jaredites
returned back, it had been, you

1405
01:19:58,100 --> 01:20:01,000
know, the flooded flooded
America, right?

1406
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:04,300
And then, and then then later on
with the Jared and I have to

1407
01:20:04,308 --> 01:20:08,800
Tower of Babel, so forth and
they came back over then, they

1408
01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:11,700
were brought back to the same
Promise Land, which is the same

1409
01:20:11,708 --> 01:20:14,700
promise land that was where the
gospel is restored.

1410
01:20:14,700 --> 01:20:16,300
It's where the new dresses going
to be.

1411
01:20:16,300 --> 01:20:20,300
I mean, this property, in fact,
Joseph Smith.

1412
01:20:20,300 --> 01:20:24,800
There's, there's a monument
there in far west where Joseph

1413
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:27,900
Smith receives the Revelation,
he said and God called that my

1414
01:20:27,900 --> 01:20:31,100
sacred land.
Interesting.

1415
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:33,600
Okay.
That's what that's what, that's

1416
01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:37,600
what the Lord called that area
around around Far, West.

1417
01:20:37,600 --> 01:20:40,600
Well, the whole region there in
Missouri, right?

1418
01:20:40,600 --> 01:20:45,100
Okay, this is my sacred land.
So this has been a sacred land

1419
01:20:45,100 --> 01:20:48,700
from from the beginning of time
and it will continue to be a

1420
01:20:48,700 --> 01:20:50,600
sacred land.
Through the end of time.

1421
01:20:50,600 --> 01:20:54,400
When we have the New Jerusalem,
you know, I was gonna be there

1422
01:20:54,400 --> 01:20:57,800
and so forth.
So this is always been a sacred

1423
01:20:57,800 --> 01:21:01,500
land.
Um, and but there's not, but

1424
01:21:01,500 --> 01:21:03,300
there's kind of two promised
lands here so they have this

1425
01:21:03,300 --> 01:21:05,400
Mount Airy.
So Noah goes over there.

1426
01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:07,800
No, it has a three sons, him and
Jake.

1427
01:21:07,800 --> 01:21:11,300
Both they out over the land shim
hat.

1428
01:21:11,300 --> 01:21:14,200
If you follow the Shem lying
down, you get down to Abraham

1429
01:21:14,200 --> 01:21:17,300
and Isaac and we know the story
of Abraham and Isaac, I love the

1430
01:21:17,300 --> 01:21:19,200
story.
I love this painting although

1431
01:21:19,200 --> 01:21:23,600
it's not accurate because Isaac
was not a young lad at the time.

1432
01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:27,000
He was a full grown man,
probably could have easily

1433
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:32,700
overpowered his father but just
like, you know, just like Christ

1434
01:21:32,700 --> 01:21:38,700
honors his father.
By doing what his father says,

1435
01:21:38,700 --> 01:21:43,500
Isaac also honored his father by
basically submitting to him,

1436
01:21:43,500 --> 01:21:44,300
right?
Right.

1437
01:21:44,300 --> 01:21:46,300
Just like Christ Smith himself
to God.

1438
01:21:47,100 --> 01:21:50,300
Anyway, so we get down to
Abraham and because of Abraham's

1439
01:21:50,300 --> 01:21:53,500
unflinching willingness to
follow God, no matter what, even

1440
01:21:53,500 --> 01:21:57,700
the sacrifice of his own son,
which he had, as we know, he had

1441
01:21:57,700 --> 01:22:00,100
such a hard time getting in the
first place, you know.

1442
01:22:00,100 --> 01:22:02,900
Yeah, so he has this really
difficult time.

1443
01:22:02,900 --> 01:22:07,000
Getting this sunny, finally gets
his son. and now God basically

1444
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:12,700
says You gotta sacrifice him.
So, he was willing to give up

1445
01:22:12,700 --> 01:22:17,100
his most cherished.
You know, blessing from God.

1446
01:22:17,100 --> 01:22:20,700
And that's the reason why he was
blessed with the particular

1447
01:22:20,700 --> 01:22:23,000
blessing.
We call this that Abraham a

1448
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:24,500
covenant.
It actually didn't necessarily

1449
01:22:24,500 --> 01:22:27,300
start with Abraham but Abraham
renewed.

1450
01:22:27,300 --> 01:22:30,000
The Covenant right?
Having actually started with

1451
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:33,300
with Adam and Eve and the Garden
of Eden but let's talk about

1452
01:22:33,300 --> 01:22:36,300
that for just a second.
So where did this place happen?

1453
01:22:36,300 --> 01:22:40,600
When, you know, when we talk
about Abraham and Isaac do

1454
01:22:40,600 --> 01:22:42,200
places matter?
Yeah.

1455
01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:44,900
Are there other places that are
more sacred or whatever than

1456
01:22:44,900 --> 01:22:47,600
other places and I think the
answer to that is?

1457
01:22:47,608 --> 01:22:49,400
Yes.
Where did this actually take

1458
01:22:49,400 --> 01:22:51,200
place?
Well, according to the biblical

1459
01:22:51,200 --> 01:22:52,700
sources that happened on Mount
Moriah.

1460
01:22:52,700 --> 01:22:56,400
And where is Mount Moriah?
Today, it's Dome of the Rock,

1461
01:22:56,407 --> 01:22:58,300
right?
It's it's on there.

1462
01:22:58,300 --> 01:23:02,000
Where Temple Solomon's Temple
used to be, don't know the rock.

1463
01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:03,900
Now.
That's that was the area, right?

1464
01:23:03,900 --> 01:23:07,800
Yeah.
And when I, when I took this

1465
01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:12,600
picture a few years ago and I
was over there in Israel, one of

1466
01:23:12,600 --> 01:23:15,400
the things that struck me is
that if you take a look at this

1467
01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:22,800
place, you know, it's really not
all that awesome right now.

1468
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:27,100
I mean, you look at me it's it's
pretty bleak, right?

1469
01:23:27,100 --> 01:23:29,000
It's not really beautiful to the
eye.

1470
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:32,100
It has no natural resources that
we I mean no, no, major.

1471
01:23:32,100 --> 01:23:35,800
I mean, there's no major oil
deposits or gold or silver or

1472
01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:39,400
copy posits or are really
anything that would make this

1473
01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:43,800
site specifically important, you
know, for for humans basically

1474
01:23:43,800 --> 01:23:46,400
it's not hardly any trees is
kind of a desert.

1475
01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:49,100
You know?
I mean, it's just, it's not a

1476
01:23:49,100 --> 01:23:51,900
pretty place but yet you have
three of the most powerful.

1477
01:23:51,900 --> 01:23:55,600
Religions on the planet, you
have the Muslims, the Jews, and

1478
01:23:55,600 --> 01:23:57,600
the Christians.
They're all willing to basically

1479
01:23:57,600 --> 01:24:00,600
fight and die over who gets to
control that place.

1480
01:24:01,400 --> 01:24:02,800
Right.
Wow.

1481
01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:06,500
Is that?
It's because each one of those

1482
01:24:06,500 --> 01:24:11,100
groups, the Muslims, the, the
Jews and the Christians, they

1483
01:24:11,100 --> 01:24:14,700
all want to be partakers in the
blessings of the Covenant that

1484
01:24:14,700 --> 01:24:19,500
God made with Abraham
specifically at this point this

1485
01:24:19,500 --> 01:24:23,700
price, this this land, right?
Yep, the the site.

1486
01:24:23,700 --> 01:24:28,100
Well, in it just goes back, you
know as well to man's yearning

1487
01:24:28,100 --> 01:24:31,100
for Sacred Space, right?
This is the place where we

1488
01:24:31,100 --> 01:24:35,700
connect to our God.
And and, and, and likewise we

1489
01:24:35,700 --> 01:24:38,300
should expect to see stuff like
that when we start talking about

1490
01:24:38,300 --> 01:24:41,200
the Book of Mormon, right?
It's the place where you want to

1491
01:24:41,200 --> 01:24:44,800
connect with your God.
Sacred sacred places, right?

1492
01:24:44,800 --> 01:24:46,900
Yes.
So here God made this coming

1493
01:24:46,900 --> 01:24:49,700
with with Abraham.
And what was exactly the

1494
01:24:49,700 --> 01:24:50,900
Covenant.
What was this coming?

1495
01:24:50,900 --> 01:24:54,100
That God made me with Abraham.
Well, I, I've got this.

1496
01:24:54,100 --> 01:24:56,800
This is an abbreviated version
of it, but basically, he first

1497
01:24:56,800 --> 01:24:59,100
actually gave him a land.
I have all the scriptures that

1498
01:24:59,100 --> 01:25:01,500
go along with this and in my
longer version, but they cut

1499
01:25:01,508 --> 01:25:05,900
this down and save some time.
But he talks about the limit and

1500
01:25:05,900 --> 01:25:10,200
you know, that all of the land,
the land of Canon.

1501
01:25:10,200 --> 01:25:12,800
He says, all this land, I give
the until they posterity

1502
01:25:12,800 --> 01:25:15,500
forever.
He said, and how long is forever

1503
01:25:15,500 --> 01:25:19,900
with God?
Forever for like no very long

1504
01:25:19,900 --> 01:25:25,800
time.
Excuse me, I guess I get I guess

1505
01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:30,300
I didn't take that out.
That Abraham chapter two says

1506
01:25:30,300 --> 01:25:33,400
the land of the Canaanites under
thy seed will I give this land

1507
01:25:34,300 --> 01:25:38,800
Right.
So this is Kenan and Kanan.

1508
01:25:39,400 --> 01:25:43,900
Yep, they're the phonetically,
they're the same word, but

1509
01:25:43,900 --> 01:25:46,100
they're spelled differently.
So you can differentiate between

1510
01:25:46,100 --> 01:25:50,800
the new world and the old with
the world, actually has a

1511
01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:52,700
backwards.
The old world is actually here

1512
01:25:52,700 --> 01:25:56,300
in America and the new world
would be in, you know, in Europe

1513
01:25:56,300 --> 01:25:59,500
and Asia, basically, but we call
it the other way.

1514
01:25:59,500 --> 01:26:02,800
So to keep things so we can
understand what this call it.

1515
01:26:02,808 --> 01:26:04,700
The old world is the old world
Kane in there.

1516
01:26:06,100 --> 01:26:07,300
How many times are there for
that?

1517
01:26:07,300 --> 01:26:10,600
I actually turned to the
probably the I would guess that

1518
01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:14,500
he's probably the most
authoritative figure on how on

1519
01:26:14,500 --> 01:26:16,500
promised lands and where they're
located.

1520
01:26:17,300 --> 01:26:22,300
And that's Jesus Christ himself.
So yeah, it's a good.

1521
01:26:23,300 --> 01:26:24,600
He's a pretty good authority,
right?

1522
01:26:24,600 --> 01:26:28,100
And when he was with the beneath
fights, in the Book of Mormon of

1523
01:26:28,100 --> 01:26:31,500
third Nephi, he told us about
the promised lands, he said,

1524
01:26:31,500 --> 01:26:34,400
then 30th chapter 20 verse 29,
says, and I will remember the

1525
01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:38,500
Covenant, which I made with my
people says I made a cont with

1526
01:26:38,500 --> 01:26:40,600
them, that I would gather them
together my own due time and I'm

1527
01:26:40,600 --> 01:26:42,500
giving them again the land of
their fathers for their

1528
01:26:42,508 --> 01:26:45,900
inheritance, which is the land
of Jerusalem, which is the

1529
01:26:45,900 --> 01:26:49,700
promised land unto them again.
For how long forever.

1530
01:26:51,400 --> 01:26:54,400
CF father.
So this is not just Christ.

1531
01:26:54,400 --> 01:26:56,600
This is going above Christ's
head, right?

1532
01:26:56,600 --> 01:27:00,600
This is this is Elohim.
Yep, saying this, right?

1533
01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:04,500
And it's forever.
According to God himself that

1534
01:27:04,500 --> 01:27:07,400
this land of Jerusalem is the
promised land.

1535
01:27:07,400 --> 01:27:11,100
So, there we go.
This is Promised Land that was

1536
01:27:11,100 --> 01:27:14,400
giving to Abraham and Isaac.
But in the same chapter in 135,

1537
01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:17,800
when prices with beneath fights,
he didn't also said this, he

1538
01:27:17,800 --> 01:27:20,900
says, behold this people, well,
I established in this land, who

1539
01:27:20,900 --> 01:27:22,200
are the people talking about
here?

1540
01:27:22,200 --> 01:27:24,700
It would be not talking about
the knights here.

1541
01:27:24,700 --> 01:27:26,700
He's actually talking about the
Gentiles.

1542
01:27:26,700 --> 01:27:31,300
Okay, ultimately we're going to
take over this land because he's

1543
01:27:31,300 --> 01:27:33,200
talking about how the Gentiles
are going to come and they're

1544
01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:35,000
going to, you know, so forth.
They said, behold this people

1545
01:27:35,900 --> 01:27:39,200
Being the Gentiles.
Will I establish in this land?

1546
01:27:39,200 --> 01:27:41,200
Now what land is he talking
about here?

1547
01:27:41,200 --> 01:27:44,900
He's talking about the land,
he's on right America there with

1548
01:27:44,907 --> 01:27:48,000
an Evite said and the
Fulfillment of the Covenant,

1549
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:52,200
which I made with your father
Jacob and it meaning this land

1550
01:27:52,200 --> 01:27:57,000
shall be a New Jerusalem.
Interesting.

1551
01:27:58,000 --> 01:28:02,900
So, you have Jerusalem, and the
New Jerusalem, two two separate

1552
01:28:02,900 --> 01:28:07,500
places the same name, but he
wants differentiate between the

1553
01:28:07,500 --> 01:28:10,000
old and the New Jerusalem, okay?
Right.

1554
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:11,200
And that's a, that's what he's
talking about.

1555
01:28:11,208 --> 01:28:13,600
So the bottom line, you see a
pattern developing here?

1556
01:28:13,600 --> 01:28:15,700
Yep.
Yep, absolutely.

1557
01:28:15,700 --> 01:28:19,800
Yeah.
So that's the case.

1558
01:28:19,800 --> 01:28:21,300
These are the two promised
lands.

1559
01:28:21,300 --> 01:28:23,100
These are the two Covenant
gathering places for the house

1560
01:28:23,100 --> 01:28:25,700
of Israel.
This is, these are the two

1561
01:28:25,700 --> 01:28:31,600
places where God set up his,
his, his religion, his gospel.

1562
01:28:32,900 --> 01:28:36,000
Okay.
And I can go and do a lot more.

1563
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:37,900
Tell about all the different
things that have happened

1564
01:28:37,900 --> 01:28:42,100
significantly on in the history
of the earth that started with

1565
01:28:42,100 --> 01:28:46,400
these two places.
So but we don't have the time to

1566
01:28:46,400 --> 01:28:49,800
get into all that but but so
let's go back into the Smith new

1567
01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:53,700
so they essentially.
So this is on March, the 7th of

1568
01:28:53,700 --> 01:28:57,700
1831.
Well actually, this is February

1569
01:28:57,700 --> 01:29:01,100
9th of 1831.
He says, thou shall ask it shall

1570
01:29:01,100 --> 01:29:03,800
be reveal them to you in my own
due time where the New Jerusalem

1571
01:29:03,800 --> 01:29:08,500
shall be built, okay?
So it's kind of teasing the

1572
01:29:08,500 --> 01:29:09,200
Smith.
Yeah.

1573
01:29:10,300 --> 01:29:11,000
Yep.
Okay.

1574
01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:14,400
I'm gonna tell you but not yet,
right?

1575
01:29:14,400 --> 01:29:18,300
That's in DNC.
Doctor coming for 6:42, a month

1576
01:29:18,308 --> 01:29:20,000
later.
The Lord began to fill us

1577
01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:22,300
promises gather up from the
Eastern lands.

1578
01:29:22,300 --> 01:29:24,000
Go forth into the Western
countries.

1579
01:29:24,800 --> 01:29:27,700
Okay.
And it says, and it should be

1580
01:29:27,700 --> 01:29:32,000
called the New Jerusalem, a land
of peace and place of safety

1581
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:35,900
refuge and so forth, okay?
That's the SEC, 40 five.

1582
01:29:35,900 --> 01:29:38,800
And then this is where he
actually about a year and a

1583
01:29:38,808 --> 01:29:41,500
half.
After that, in September of 1832

1584
01:29:41,500 --> 01:29:44,300
the Lord completed his promise
to Jealous, by giving him the

1585
01:29:44,300 --> 01:29:46,100
exact location of the book of
the New Jerusalem.

1586
01:29:46,100 --> 01:29:50,500
He says, this is as clear as you
can get, you know, I mean I you

1587
01:29:50,500 --> 01:29:54,500
really can't argue this point.
At least not very well.

1588
01:29:54,500 --> 01:29:57,500
Okay, so right, it's the
revelation of Jesus Christ and

1589
01:29:57,500 --> 01:30:00,800
his servant Joseph Smith stand
upon Mount Zion, which be the

1590
01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:04,300
city of New Jerusalem which city
shall be built beginning.

1591
01:30:05,600 --> 01:30:08,800
At the temple, lot of pointed by
the finger of the Lord, in the

1592
01:30:08,800 --> 01:30:10,700
western boundaries of the state
of Missouri.

1593
01:30:11,800 --> 01:30:17,400
Or in Missouri or Missouri.
My mom is originally from from

1594
01:30:17,400 --> 01:30:20,200
Saint Louis, and she always
said, it's not, it's not called

1595
01:30:20,200 --> 01:30:22,400
Missouri, it's called Missouri.
Right?

1596
01:30:22,400 --> 01:30:25,300
Actually went to people who are
there in Missouri and they said,

1597
01:30:25,300 --> 01:30:26,700
no, it's Missouri.
So, anyway, I don't know.

1598
01:30:28,500 --> 01:30:30,900
You live there.
Dave it's Missouri or Missouri,

1599
01:30:30,900 --> 01:30:33,900
you know, most people I hang out
with it's still Missouri.

1600
01:30:33,900 --> 01:30:37,500
Now I do know that there are
some other folks that will call

1601
01:30:37,500 --> 01:30:39,600
it Missouri and far be it for
me.

1602
01:30:39,600 --> 01:30:41,600
I'm a newcomer.
So I'm not gonna argue with

1603
01:30:41,600 --> 01:30:45,600
anybody on this and I'll take
the correction wherever it

1604
01:30:45,600 --> 01:30:49,300
comes.
Well, I have a lot of friends in

1605
01:30:49,300 --> 01:30:51,600
Missouri and most of them always
say Missouri.

1606
01:30:51,600 --> 01:30:53,200
I think it was an old school
thing.

1607
01:30:53,200 --> 01:30:58,500
Maybe my, my mom's parents
called, it mizura back at that

1608
01:30:58,500 --> 01:31:00,400
time.
But anyway, he's dedicated by

1609
01:31:00,400 --> 01:31:03,400
the hand of does this myth,
very, this is the word of the

1610
01:31:03,400 --> 01:31:06,700
Lord, that the city of New
Jersey by the Gathering the

1611
01:31:06,700 --> 01:31:08,900
Saints begin at this place, even
the place of the temple.

1612
01:31:08,900 --> 01:31:10,900
So I think it's pretty darn
clear.

1613
01:31:10,900 --> 01:31:14,900
Missouri USA is where the New
Jerusalem is located.

1614
01:31:16,200 --> 01:31:18,400
It's everybody with me so far oh
yeah.

1615
01:31:18,400 --> 01:31:22,000
Yep.
Okay so if that's the case and

1616
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:26,300
that then we have the very first
land of promise was here.

1617
01:31:27,300 --> 01:31:29,900
The New Jerusalem in the future
is going to be here.

1618
01:31:29,900 --> 01:31:32,600
So it sounds to me like this is
truth.

1619
01:31:32,600 --> 01:31:36,400
This is past present and future
Missouri.

1620
01:31:36,400 --> 01:31:41,900
USA is the New Jerusalem and
then even this is actually 45 in

1621
01:31:41,900 --> 01:31:45,100
the nutrition.
She'll be called Zion and Moses.

1622
01:31:45,100 --> 01:31:47,600
It should be called, Zion a New
Jerusalem.

1623
01:31:47,600 --> 01:31:50,600
He's going to prepare holy city.
Now, some people talk about

1624
01:31:50,600 --> 01:31:53,900
Zion, And there is kind of two
definitions of Zion.

1625
01:31:53,900 --> 01:31:56,200
There's kind of the more
esoteric definition of Zion,

1626
01:31:56,200 --> 01:31:59,300
which means the pure in heart.
There's actually a physical

1627
01:31:59,300 --> 01:32:01,600
location that's going to be
called Zion in the future,

1628
01:32:01,600 --> 01:32:04,000
right?
And that Zion he's talking

1629
01:32:04,008 --> 01:32:07,700
about, I'm going to prepare a
holy city and there should be my

1630
01:32:07,700 --> 01:32:10,200
Tabernacle should be called Zion
and New Jerusalem.

1631
01:32:10,200 --> 01:32:13,300
Of course in the article, the
faith that Joseph Smith, you

1632
01:32:13,300 --> 01:32:14,500
know, put together.
He said we believe in the

1633
01:32:14,500 --> 01:32:17,500
literal of Israel.
The restoration is 10 tribes and

1634
01:32:17,508 --> 01:32:20,900
that Zion the New Jerusalem will
be upon the American continent.

1635
01:32:21,800 --> 01:32:27,300
Okay, so the Zion is the same
thing here, right inside.

1636
01:32:28,200 --> 01:32:32,500
I have a whole and one of my
earliest presentations I have a

1637
01:32:32,500 --> 01:32:36,400
whole string of scriptures that
also does this is going to be

1638
01:32:36,400 --> 01:32:37,700
kind of an abbreviated version
of that.

1639
01:32:38,600 --> 01:32:41,200
But here we talked about this
land which is the land of

1640
01:32:41,208 --> 01:32:44,000
mystery.
This is the land of promise, the

1641
01:32:44,000 --> 01:32:46,700
place of the city of Zion and
behold the place is now called

1642
01:32:46,708 --> 01:32:49,700
Independence.
Is the center place I go, I hate

1643
01:32:49,700 --> 01:32:50,600
it.
When the Lord kind of Beats

1644
01:32:50,600 --> 01:32:53,000
around the bush doesn't really
tell us exactly what he means.

1645
01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:56,500
Right.
Yeah, that's pretty clear Rod.

1646
01:32:56,500 --> 01:33:00,700
I mean, I mean you know that
down pretty pretty well.

1647
01:33:00,700 --> 01:33:04,600
Yeah.
So what so why am I making a big

1648
01:33:04,608 --> 01:33:08,200
deal about this Missouri?
And then the promise and he

1649
01:33:08,200 --> 01:33:11,700
dressed and so forth, okay well
because here in the Book of

1650
01:33:11,700 --> 01:33:14,800
Mormon, we have a double
prophetic witness when I say

1651
01:33:14,800 --> 01:33:16,900
double prophetic witness.
What we have is we have ether

1652
01:33:16,900 --> 01:33:21,400
who prophesied That they that
they that the New Jerusalem is

1653
01:33:21,400 --> 01:33:25,200
going to be billed on his lands
and then when ether puts it in

1654
01:33:25,200 --> 01:33:29,700
his his record, then moron, I
have to come along and he a

1655
01:33:29,700 --> 01:33:33,000
Bridges.
The Jared Knight record ether

1656
01:33:33,000 --> 01:33:37,500
basically and here Bridges it
and so this is actually to some

1657
01:33:37,500 --> 01:33:39,500
extent, this is Moroni making
commentary as well.

1658
01:33:40,500 --> 01:33:45,600
And so you have both Moroni and
ether, testifying that their

1659
01:33:45,600 --> 01:33:48,500
lands were going to be one day
the New Jerusalem.

1660
01:33:49,500 --> 01:33:52,500
And we know where the New
Jerusalem is by Revelation, this

1661
01:33:52,500 --> 01:33:55,500
is not speculation.
This is not one where a narrow

1662
01:33:55,500 --> 01:33:58,000
neck of land is or where a
narrow passage or whatever.

1663
01:33:58,000 --> 01:34:00,200
This is ether, saw the days of
Christ.

1664
01:34:00,200 --> 01:34:03,900
He's speaking, certainly, a New
Jerusalem Upon This Land, right?

1665
01:34:03,900 --> 01:34:07,100
I was up and says, in the
nutrition, should be building

1666
01:34:07,100 --> 01:34:08,900
Upon This.
Land of the seat of Joseph.

1667
01:34:08,900 --> 01:34:13,800
Birthday has been a type So then
he also talks about it being

1668
01:34:13,800 --> 01:34:16,800
choices about all other lands.
He also said Independence was

1669
01:34:16,800 --> 01:34:20,000
going to be a center place.
And that's really important as

1670
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:22,100
well.
Because when Joseph Smith

1671
01:34:22,100 --> 01:34:25,900
received this revelation of the
center place, if we go back to

1672
01:34:25,900 --> 01:34:29,100
that scripture here for just a
second here, okay, says

1673
01:34:29,100 --> 01:34:30,400
Independence is the center
place.

1674
01:34:33,500 --> 01:34:37,700
Independence, was it in the
center of anything Independence

1675
01:34:37,700 --> 01:34:42,500
was the the Far West Western
Edge of civilization beyond that

1676
01:34:42,500 --> 01:34:45,700
it was basically Indian
Territory and Mexican territory

1677
01:34:45,700 --> 01:34:47,800
beyond that.
You know, this is before the

1678
01:34:47,800 --> 01:34:51,400
before all of that had been
annexed into the into the United

1679
01:34:51,400 --> 01:34:53,800
States, right?
So, when does we see this

1680
01:34:53,800 --> 01:34:57,200
Revelation, probably, it's
scratches his head Independence.

1681
01:34:57,200 --> 01:35:01,300
Is the center place the center
of what We're going to get back

1682
01:35:01,300 --> 01:35:04,200
to that, it just a couple
minutes when we understand where

1683
01:35:04,200 --> 01:35:06,000
Joseph Smith actually
understood.

1684
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:09,700
What the, what the word America
means to Joseph Smith.

1685
01:35:09,700 --> 01:35:11,700
All right, so going back to
this.

1686
01:35:11,700 --> 01:35:16,500
So we have Section 46.
It's a chosen land.

1687
01:35:16,500 --> 01:35:18,700
It's the land of liberty.
Interestingly enough.

1688
01:35:18,700 --> 01:35:21,500
In the Book of Mormon, there's
eight different times where they

1689
01:35:21,500 --> 01:35:23,700
reference the land in the
future.

1690
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:29,500
That after the Nephites are done
that, when the Gentiles come,

1691
01:35:29,500 --> 01:35:31,800
they talked about it being a
land of liberty, eight times.

1692
01:35:32,900 --> 01:35:35,600
Well, actually call it.
The land of liberty 8 different

1693
01:35:35,600 --> 01:35:36,900
times.
So in the, when they're talking

1694
01:35:36,900 --> 01:35:40,100
about these prophecies and he's
promises That's another thing

1695
01:35:40,100 --> 01:35:41,200
that's going to be a choice
land.

1696
01:35:41,200 --> 01:35:42,200
That's going to be a land of
liberty.

1697
01:35:42,200 --> 01:35:45,600
And this is one of the this is
what I call this scriptural

1698
01:35:45,600 --> 01:35:49,400
limiting factor because there's
a lot of people say, well, But

1699
01:35:49,400 --> 01:35:52,100
you know, it's all of the
Americas, you know, because

1700
01:35:52,100 --> 01:35:56,100
America but back in those days
was defined as, you know, North

1701
01:35:56,100 --> 01:35:58,600
Central and South America.
That was all of the Americas

1702
01:35:58,600 --> 01:36:01,900
because they were joined their
Panama and so forth, right?

1703
01:36:01,900 --> 01:36:06,200
So they're saying that basically
the freshly the show, America

1704
01:36:06,200 --> 01:36:11,600
Advocates are saying, well,
Mexico and Guatemala and so

1705
01:36:11,608 --> 01:36:13,900
forth.
And on Doris, they're all part

1706
01:36:13,900 --> 01:36:16,400
of it.
Because they, because they're

1707
01:36:16,400 --> 01:36:19,400
all part of America.
I mean, North Central and South

1708
01:36:19,407 --> 01:36:22,200
America, gotcha.
This is the scriptural limiting

1709
01:36:22,200 --> 01:36:24,900
factor.
Because it says, it didn't say

1710
01:36:24,900 --> 01:36:26,800
it was all of the entire
hemisphere.

1711
01:36:26,800 --> 01:36:30,800
It said it was a nation.
And that says, nevertheless

1712
01:36:30,800 --> 01:36:32,600
they'll be whole at the Gentiles
have gone forth that are

1713
01:36:32,608 --> 01:36:35,400
captivity been lifted up by the
power of God above all other

1714
01:36:35,400 --> 01:36:38,500
nations upon the face of the
land, which is choice about all

1715
01:36:38,500 --> 01:36:40,300
the lands.
Well what land is that?

1716
01:36:40,300 --> 01:36:42,800
Oh it's the land that the Lord
God has made a covenant with my

1717
01:36:42,800 --> 01:36:44,300
father's.
She should have for their

1718
01:36:44,300 --> 01:36:49,500
inheritance.
And so, so he's talking about

1719
01:36:49,500 --> 01:36:52,200
this land of liberty.
It's a Nation about all other

1720
01:36:52,200 --> 01:36:57,400
nations. so, it's not all of the
Americas because all of the

1721
01:36:57,407 --> 01:37:01,700
Americas isn't a singular
Nation, right?

1722
01:37:01,700 --> 01:37:06,800
Okay.
And then just a 57.

1723
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:08,400
I just love this land of
Missouri.

1724
01:37:08,400 --> 01:37:10,900
This is the place of the
Gathering of the Saints and this

1725
01:37:10,900 --> 01:37:13,000
is the land of promise in the
place for the city of Zion.

1726
01:37:13,600 --> 01:37:15,900
Are we going to accept the
Lord's words here?

1727
01:37:15,900 --> 01:37:18,800
As a revelation or where we not?
It's really comes down to that.

1728
01:37:18,800 --> 01:37:22,200
Sure sure.
Yeah you know I tend to I tend

1729
01:37:22,200 --> 01:37:23,800
to stick with his words on that
stuff.

1730
01:37:23,800 --> 01:37:28,500
I feel like I feel like kind of
the arguments over at that

1731
01:37:28,500 --> 01:37:33,700
point. so we get if this is the
land of promise, then it's

1732
01:37:33,700 --> 01:37:37,400
really fascinating because these
are the two and the promise that

1733
01:37:37,400 --> 01:37:39,300
are going on in the in the
world.

1734
01:37:39,308 --> 01:37:41,200
These are the two.
This is the two places where the

1735
01:37:41,200 --> 01:37:45,100
gospel was initiated, right?
This is where Adam and Eve were.

1736
01:37:45,100 --> 01:37:48,700
This is where the adamantium is
actually, where there was a,

1737
01:37:48,700 --> 01:37:51,400
there was a knee fight altar
there according to Joseph Smith.

1738
01:37:51,400 --> 01:37:53,200
Yep, with it, there's some right
out there.

1739
01:37:53,200 --> 01:37:54,900
There's a pretty good bet.
There's Nephites there.

1740
01:37:54,900 --> 01:37:59,900
Yep and then you have basically
Adam and or excuse me, Abraham

1741
01:37:59,900 --> 01:38:03,400
and his posterity and the
special place over there.

1742
01:38:03,400 --> 01:38:07,700
So this is where Christ comes to
establishes gospel.

1743
01:38:07,700 --> 01:38:12,400
Then when we have the Dark Ages
basically in the gospel is lost,

1744
01:38:12,400 --> 01:38:15,700
then he re-establishes it again
over in the other Promised Land

1745
01:38:16,500 --> 01:38:18,700
Gotcha.
These are these are the two

1746
01:38:18,700 --> 01:38:21,200
promised lands that the two
Covenant gathering places for

1747
01:38:21,200 --> 01:38:24,100
the house of Israel.
These two places, and it just

1748
01:38:24,108 --> 01:38:26,400
happens to be even in the
future.

1749
01:38:26,400 --> 01:38:30,700
And when in the during the
Millennium, he says that the the

1750
01:38:30,700 --> 01:38:36,000
law will go forth from the the
New Jerusalem and the word will

1751
01:38:36,000 --> 01:38:38,800
go forth from the old Jerusalem.
So apparently Christ will reign

1752
01:38:38,800 --> 01:38:41,500
personally upon the Earth during
the Millennium and he's going to

1753
01:38:41,500 --> 01:38:44,100
be more or less.
His residence is going to be in

1754
01:38:44,100 --> 01:38:48,100
Jerusalem, but the law that's
going to control the world.

1755
01:38:48,100 --> 01:38:51,500
Basically, the law that people
are going to be living under is

1756
01:38:51,500 --> 01:38:55,100
going to be coming out of
America.

1757
01:38:55,900 --> 01:38:58,600
Right, right.
I remember I remember reading

1758
01:38:58,600 --> 01:39:01,200
that being fascinated by that.
Yeah.

1759
01:39:02,300 --> 01:39:04,800
And then just in case anybody
wonders about it being a nation

1760
01:39:04,800 --> 01:39:08,700
for first day by chapter 13, is
that I need five be held at the

1761
01:39:08,700 --> 01:39:11,900
Gentiles, they've gone forth out
of captivity where delivered by

1762
01:39:11,900 --> 01:39:14,800
the power of God, out of the
hands of all other nations.

1763
01:39:14,800 --> 01:39:17,000
Yep.
So there's other nations that

1764
01:39:17,000 --> 01:39:21,000
this nation is not a part of
this was delivered out of these

1765
01:39:21,000 --> 01:39:22,700
other nations.
Right?

1766
01:39:22,700 --> 01:39:24,400
And then first need for chapter
22.

1767
01:39:24,400 --> 01:39:27,300
This is becomes so clear here.
When you start to go through

1768
01:39:27,300 --> 01:39:31,000
these scriptures in the Book of
Mormon identifying this nation

1769
01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:33,800
that would be talked about, does
it means the times going to come

1770
01:39:33,800 --> 01:39:36,400
that after all the house of
Israel scattered and confounded

1771
01:39:36,400 --> 01:39:39,900
that the Lord God is going to
raise up, I might eat Nation

1772
01:39:39,900 --> 01:39:43,300
among the Gentiles.
So again, he's talking about a

1773
01:39:43,300 --> 01:39:47,000
now you could you could argue
well he's talking about like the

1774
01:39:47,000 --> 01:39:50,300
nation of Israel, right?
But the nation of Israel is all

1775
01:39:50,300 --> 01:39:52,500
over the place.
He's talking about a specific

1776
01:39:52,500 --> 01:39:57,100
nation is the governmental
entity and a location on in the

1777
01:39:57,100 --> 01:39:59,400
Americas they that is this
nation.

1778
01:39:59,400 --> 01:40:02,700
Even the face of this land, the
land that they're on.

1779
01:40:02,700 --> 01:40:07,600
And then he says and by them I
mean these Gentiles so our seed

1780
01:40:07,600 --> 01:40:10,900
be scattered.
So the remnant of the lamanites

1781
01:40:10,900 --> 01:40:12,500
are going to get scattered by
this nation.

1782
01:40:14,000 --> 01:40:20,200
And that's another fascinating
and, and really unarguable, you

1783
01:40:20,200 --> 01:40:23,500
know thing, because did the
Native American people get

1784
01:40:23,500 --> 01:40:26,200
scattered by this nation.
Yes, they did.

1785
01:40:26,200 --> 01:40:29,200
And are they still scattered?
Yes they are.

1786
01:40:29,200 --> 01:40:34,400
Yes, they are in mesoamerica,
the the nation that was there.

1787
01:40:34,400 --> 01:40:38,000
The people that were there with
the Mayans and the Mayans.

1788
01:40:38,000 --> 01:40:41,100
There was some scattering that
happened but who still in

1789
01:40:41,100 --> 01:40:44,800
control of the nation, for
example, of Mexico or Guatemala.

1790
01:40:44,800 --> 01:40:51,000
It was still indigenous people.
They still in control of it, but

1791
01:40:51,000 --> 01:40:54,900
right here, the Gentiles took
control of their lands, right?

1792
01:40:56,200 --> 01:40:58,800
Yo, you really have to look at
this and say, where does this

1793
01:40:58,800 --> 01:41:00,900
prophecy actually?
Where does this?

1794
01:41:00,907 --> 01:41:04,400
Where does this been fulfilled?
It turns out that the very first

1795
01:41:04,400 --> 01:41:07,400
book that we did.
I did with that with Bruce

1796
01:41:07,400 --> 01:41:11,500
Porter and and I did the initial
research and he did a bunch of

1797
01:41:11,500 --> 01:41:13,600
research as well and he actually
ended up writing the book

1798
01:41:13,600 --> 01:41:16,500
because I was too busy to get
actually and he's a better

1799
01:41:16,508 --> 01:41:18,800
writer than I am.
So right?

1800
01:41:18,800 --> 01:41:21,400
So we did this book called The
prophecies and Promises.

1801
01:41:21,400 --> 01:41:24,800
It was the first ever Deep dive
into the Prophecies of the Book

1802
01:41:24,800 --> 01:41:28,500
of Mormon identifying, the
nation of talking about.

1803
01:41:28,500 --> 01:41:33,200
Now, there's, there's 36,
prophecies in the Book of Mormon

1804
01:41:33,200 --> 01:41:37,000
about that nation.
And this is what this, this is.

1805
01:41:37,000 --> 01:41:40,100
Why we think that the Heartland
model makes the most sense

1806
01:41:40,100 --> 01:41:45,000
because of the 36 prophecies, as
we go through these just really

1807
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:50,600
quickly here, Dave.
You ask yourself what nation is

1808
01:41:50,600 --> 01:41:53,600
it that qualifies for these
prophecies?

1809
01:41:54,700 --> 01:41:57,600
Okay, so right, for example, 33
times the book one, they talked

1810
01:41:57,600 --> 01:42:01,000
about it being a land of
promise, it said, it'll be 20

1811
01:42:01,000 --> 01:42:04,500
times that the number there is
the number 20, for example, is

1812
01:42:04,500 --> 01:42:07,900
the number of times that shows
up in the Book of Mormon of this

1813
01:42:07,900 --> 01:42:10,200
prophecy.
So 20 times, the book aren't

1814
01:42:10,200 --> 01:42:12,600
talks about the land being
consecrated for an inheritance

1815
01:42:12,600 --> 01:42:17,400
and inheritance of who write for
God's people.

1816
01:42:17,400 --> 01:42:20,100
Yes the seed of Joseph basically
right.

1817
01:42:20,100 --> 01:42:23,700
Yep. 14 times says to be a man
that's Choice above all other

1818
01:42:23,700 --> 01:42:27,000
lands.
Um, it's going to be number 12.

1819
01:42:27,000 --> 01:42:29,700
Let's be a land that's going to
be cursed because of wickedness.

1820
01:42:29,700 --> 01:42:33,000
In other words, if wickedness,
prevails this, land gets cursed.

1821
01:42:33,000 --> 01:42:35,600
Did that happen before?
Yes.

1822
01:42:36,800 --> 01:42:38,400
What about Adam and his
posterity?

1823
01:42:38,400 --> 01:42:40,500
Yeah.
They got wiped out by the flood.

1824
01:42:40,500 --> 01:42:43,400
What about the journey guys?
Yeah, they got wiped out through

1825
01:42:43,400 --> 01:42:45,200
Civil War.
What about the Nephites?

1826
01:42:45,200 --> 01:42:46,900
Yeah.
They got wiped out by Civil War,

1827
01:42:46,900 --> 01:42:48,200
right?
Right.

1828
01:42:49,300 --> 01:42:53,300
So, Are we gonna learn from the
past from the history or not?

1829
01:42:53,300 --> 01:42:56,300
Anyway, so then eight times, it
says it's going to be a land as

1830
01:42:56,300 --> 01:42:58,100
holy to those who led to it by
the Lord.

1831
01:42:58,100 --> 01:43:00,100
In other words, some people are
going to be led to it

1832
01:43:00,100 --> 01:43:03,200
specifically for religious
purposes.

1833
01:43:03,200 --> 01:43:06,900
Did that happen here in North
America and I should say in the

1834
01:43:06,900 --> 01:43:08,100
United States.
Yep.

1835
01:43:08,100 --> 01:43:09,900
Well, yeah.
Yeah.

1836
01:43:09,900 --> 01:43:12,600
Okay, then talks about it's
going to be a land of prosperity

1837
01:43:12,600 --> 01:43:16,900
and security Now, does anybody
really believe that that

1838
01:43:16,900 --> 01:43:20,300
Guatemala is more prosperous and
secure than the United States?

1839
01:43:20,300 --> 01:43:25,500
Not at this moment.
Well but but that of course

1840
01:43:25,500 --> 01:43:27,100
we've we've been messing things
up.

1841
01:43:27,100 --> 01:43:29,600
We now we now are the greatest
debtor nation in the history of

1842
01:43:29,600 --> 01:43:30,900
the earth too.
Yeah.

1843
01:43:30,900 --> 01:43:34,600
So he has but but in the past it
has been the land of prosperity

1844
01:43:34,600 --> 01:43:38,800
and to this day, the world looks
at the United States as the most

1845
01:43:38,800 --> 01:43:41,000
prosperous, you know, one of the
most prosperous Nations.

1846
01:43:41,000 --> 01:43:42,700
There's per capita.
So forth.

1847
01:43:42,700 --> 01:43:46,200
You could look at but really,
the United States is still like

1848
01:43:46,200 --> 01:43:47,700
that way.
Yeah, six times.

1849
01:43:47,700 --> 01:43:49,100
It said, it would be the land of
liberty.

1850
01:43:50,300 --> 01:43:53,300
And of course, this is a
fascinating thing that we were,

1851
01:43:53,308 --> 01:43:56,900
we were doing research to find
out the difference between

1852
01:43:56,900 --> 01:44:00,100
freedom and liberty.
And, and it turns out that the

1853
01:44:00,100 --> 01:44:03,200
founding fathers, how many times
did the founding fathers talked

1854
01:44:03,200 --> 01:44:07,400
about this being the land of
Freedom not through zero, not

1855
01:44:07,400 --> 01:44:10,800
not right.
There is a single instance, if

1856
01:44:10,800 --> 01:44:13,000
any of the founding fathers
talked about this being the land

1857
01:44:13,008 --> 01:44:16,100
of Freedom, they always
reference it as the land of

1858
01:44:16,100 --> 01:44:18,000
liberty.
Yep.

1859
01:44:18,000 --> 01:44:20,300
What's the difference between
Liberty and freedom?

1860
01:44:20,300 --> 01:44:24,800
Freedom basically is the ability
to act or to do whatever you

1861
01:44:24,800 --> 01:44:28,000
want to write.
According to Noah Webster's 1828

1862
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:30,500
dictionary and taking that out.
I think of this presentation

1863
01:44:30,500 --> 01:44:35,300
here, but that talks about her
freedom is without any restraint

1864
01:44:35,300 --> 01:44:39,700
more moral or physical.
So there's no restraints Freedom

1865
01:44:39,700 --> 01:44:43,200
gives you that opportunity
that's with no restraints.

1866
01:44:43,200 --> 01:44:45,700
That's, that's essentially
Anarchy.

1867
01:44:45,700 --> 01:44:49,200
Right?
I mean if you're doing whatever

1868
01:44:49,200 --> 01:44:53,200
they want that's Anarchy and
kind of a nerd for the founding

1869
01:44:53,200 --> 01:44:55,000
fathers too.
I mean that's why I move back

1870
01:44:55,000 --> 01:44:57,300
East.
I was on the Eastern Shore.

1871
01:44:57,300 --> 01:45:00,100
Maryland Liberty is something
different, right?

1872
01:45:00,100 --> 01:45:03,300
Liberty is the ability to go
about your business.

1873
01:45:03,300 --> 01:45:09,600
Be able to set a self-determined
course without Without fear of

1874
01:45:09,600 --> 01:45:12,800
molestation by others, right?
That you're right protected.

1875
01:45:13,800 --> 01:45:16,600
Yeah, and actually no Webster.
Actually got it pretty much

1876
01:45:16,600 --> 01:45:18,300
right, too.
He basically said, if you look

1877
01:45:18,300 --> 01:45:22,200
up Liberty in, Noah Webster's
1828 dictionary which was the

1878
01:45:22,200 --> 01:45:24,600
dictionary and use at the time
of Joseph Smith.

1879
01:45:24,600 --> 01:45:30,700
He I know Webster basically says
that that Liberty is essentially

1880
01:45:30,700 --> 01:45:36,800
Freedom with only the restraints
placed by nature and Nature's

1881
01:45:36,800 --> 01:45:38,100
God.
Okay?

1882
01:45:38,100 --> 01:45:41,200
That's a big.
So that's always, he did a much

1883
01:45:41,208 --> 01:45:42,700
better job of that than I could
have.

1884
01:45:42,700 --> 01:45:48,800
So that was really good, but
there's even a better one in

1885
01:45:48,800 --> 01:45:51,200
second Nephi, in the Book of
Mormon, probably the best

1886
01:45:51,200 --> 01:45:54,000
definition of the difference
between freedom and liberty that

1887
01:45:54,000 --> 01:45:56,200
you will find anywhere on the
earth.

1888
01:45:56,200 --> 01:45:58,400
It's just a phenomenal
definition.

1889
01:45:58,400 --> 01:46:02,500
He basically says this is I
think secondary fight chapter 2.

1890
01:46:02,500 --> 01:46:06,600
I think it is.
Anyway, he says he says that we

1891
01:46:06,600 --> 01:46:10,500
are free to choose and it gives
us the two choices He says,

1892
01:46:10,500 --> 01:46:14,900
Liberty and eternal life, or
captivity and death.

1893
01:46:16,100 --> 01:46:20,600
So, so Liberty is the choice to
follow God.

1894
01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:26,000
Freedom gives you the choice.
But once you've made the choice

1895
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:27,700
to follow God, that's called
Liberty.

1896
01:46:27,700 --> 01:46:30,900
And that's what the founding
fathers, understood, right?

1897
01:46:30,900 --> 01:46:34,100
Liberty is when you make the
choice that you're going to

1898
01:46:34,108 --> 01:46:36,900
follow God, this is a Christian
Nation, it was set up as a

1899
01:46:36,907 --> 01:46:39,300
Christian Nation.
And so when you're going to

1900
01:46:39,300 --> 01:46:41,700
follow God, it's interesting
that the founding fathers breaks

1901
01:46:41,700 --> 01:46:43,600
Temple.
You know we have in the in the

1902
01:46:43,600 --> 01:46:47,000
bay there in New York we have
the statue holding up the torch

1903
01:46:47,000 --> 01:46:49,100
and everything that she's called
the Statue of Freedom, right?

1904
01:46:49,100 --> 01:46:52,000
No limit is the Statue of
Liberty.

1905
01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:54,100
We have this Bell and
Philadelphia they call it the

1906
01:46:54,900 --> 01:46:58,100
Freedom Bell?
No no, it's the Liberty Bell.

1907
01:46:58,100 --> 01:47:01,500
What they're saying is that
we've made our choice?

1908
01:47:02,300 --> 01:47:07,200
And we choose to follow God.
Yes, Liberty.

1909
01:47:07,200 --> 01:47:09,100
Yep.
It's interesting.

1910
01:47:09,100 --> 01:47:13,000
A special, when you start
looking at what Washington does

1911
01:47:13,000 --> 01:47:16,100
right after his first
inauguration, where he marches

1912
01:47:16,100 --> 01:47:19,800
everyone down to, I believe it's
Saint Mark's Church right there,

1913
01:47:19,800 --> 01:47:25,300
just a few Short blocks away
from Ground Zero of 9/11 and

1914
01:47:25,300 --> 01:47:29,400
basically, for the first time
since Solomon, David, and

1915
01:47:29,400 --> 01:47:33,300
Solomon puts an entire nation
under Covenant, to the god of

1916
01:47:33,300 --> 01:47:38,400
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
And and and and there's some

1917
01:47:38,400 --> 01:47:40,500
fascinating stuff there.
Specially if you want to start

1918
01:47:40,500 --> 01:47:43,200
with his hand with his, with his
hand on the on the Bible.

1919
01:47:43,200 --> 01:47:46,200
Actually, in fact, when they
when they did this they said we

1920
01:47:46,200 --> 01:47:49,000
don't have any protocols for you
know and inauguration of a

1921
01:47:49,000 --> 01:47:51,300
president or whatever.
So they said what should we do?

1922
01:47:51,300 --> 01:47:54,300
He said well get me the so they
brought in with the Gideon Bible

1923
01:47:54,300 --> 01:47:57,800
basically yeah open it up.
Specifically according to

1924
01:47:57,800 --> 01:48:02,000
historical sources, he opens up
the Bible over to Genesis was a

1925
01:48:02,000 --> 01:48:05,800
chapter Attorney.
Remember, what chapter is 26 or

1926
01:48:05,800 --> 01:48:07,800
something like that?
Where grows over the world?

1927
01:48:07,800 --> 01:48:10,100
The the girl the wall.
Yep.

1928
01:48:10,100 --> 01:48:11,800
Yep.
Yep.

1929
01:48:11,800 --> 01:48:16,600
Hey there there's there's a
striking amount of evidence to

1930
01:48:16,600 --> 01:48:21,300
and To make the claim that from
its early Inception.

1931
01:48:23,100 --> 01:48:26,300
Not just the founders, but you
can go back to John Winthrop, as

1932
01:48:26,300 --> 01:48:28,800
he's coming across on the
Atlantic with his people.

1933
01:48:28,800 --> 01:48:30,800
Yeah.
It's just people under Covenant

1934
01:48:30,800 --> 01:48:36,000
and that one specifically is
eerily reminiscent to what Alma

1935
01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:38,300
tells people as they're getting
ready to be baptized, right?

1936
01:48:38,300 --> 01:48:40,600
We're going to engage each other
in familiar Commerce.

1937
01:48:40,600 --> 01:48:42,900
We're going to make each other's
burdens our own.

1938
01:48:42,900 --> 01:48:48,900
And so there's there's a It
talks about God dwelling amongst

1939
01:48:48,900 --> 01:48:52,600
them.
I mean it it there was a

1940
01:48:52,600 --> 01:48:56,400
definite feeling amongst the the
founders of the United States

1941
01:48:56,400 --> 01:48:59,600
and even earlier those folks
coming across to seek religious

1942
01:48:59,600 --> 01:49:03,600
liberty that we begin to
understand that they understand

1943
01:49:03,600 --> 01:49:08,600
their position as not something
separate from the Bible and and

1944
01:49:08,600 --> 01:49:11,700
old Israel.
But this is a continuation of

1945
01:49:11,700 --> 01:49:14,100
Israel's story.
And when you start getting into

1946
01:49:14,100 --> 01:49:16,800
Joseph Smith, talking about the
blood of Ephraim on this land,

1947
01:49:16,800 --> 01:49:21,000
it gets very, very interesting.
Yeah, it really does.

1948
01:49:21,000 --> 01:49:24,300
It just it just fascinating?
We could spend a week on just

1949
01:49:24,300 --> 01:49:27,300
this information right here,
involving the land of liberty,

1950
01:49:27,300 --> 01:49:30,300
you know, and so forth but it is
just again us.

1951
01:49:30,300 --> 01:49:32,900
Yeah, there's there's such a
such a plethora of information

1952
01:49:32,900 --> 01:49:35,400
and really even the whole nine
eleven thing.

1953
01:49:35,400 --> 01:49:38,900
Yep.
You know and and how when when

1954
01:49:38,900 --> 01:49:43,100
the place of the invocation of
the Covenant with God that God

1955
01:49:43,100 --> 01:49:47,700
made with with with with George
Washington on the day of his

1956
01:49:47,700 --> 01:49:50,700
inauguration, he literally put
his right hand to the square

1957
01:49:50,700 --> 01:49:53,800
with his hand on the on the on
the scripture.

1958
01:49:53,800 --> 01:49:56,900
There in Genesis this talks
about the Joseph will become a

1959
01:49:56,900 --> 01:50:00,000
fruitful you football by well.
His branches run over the wall,

1960
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:00,800
right?
Yep.

1961
01:50:00,800 --> 01:50:04,200
And and historians if they
scratched their heads.

1962
01:50:04,200 --> 01:50:07,500
What why what's the deal with
this?

1963
01:50:07,500 --> 01:50:11,000
Why would he quote this?
Why would he have his hands

1964
01:50:11,000 --> 01:50:14,000
specifically on that scripture?
It makes no sense.

1965
01:50:14,000 --> 01:50:18,700
But when I understand that
Joseph, who was this is this is

1966
01:50:18,700 --> 01:50:22,400
a reference back to Joseph with
the coat of many colors, the son

1967
01:50:22,400 --> 01:50:28,500
of Ishmael or Israel.
You're right, you're right.

1968
01:50:28,500 --> 01:50:29,100
Yep.
Jacob.

1969
01:50:29,100 --> 01:50:31,500
Okay.
So Jacob basically has his 12

1970
01:50:31,500 --> 01:50:35,900
sons and including Joseph but
interestingly enough when when

1971
01:50:35,900 --> 01:50:41,200
land was distributed to you know
as a you know, when the Lord

1972
01:50:41,200 --> 01:50:45,000
basically divided the land of
Israel, basically up for the 12

1973
01:50:45,000 --> 01:50:48,500
tribes, Right.
Joseph didn't get an

1974
01:50:48,500 --> 01:50:53,000
inheritance.
Yeah, Gad and his car, and all

1975
01:50:53,000 --> 01:50:55,900
these, and all these others, you
know, and Judah and so forth.

1976
01:50:55,900 --> 01:50:58,900
They all got a land inheritance
but there was two of the

1977
01:50:58,900 --> 01:51:02,100
brothers, who didn't get a land
inheritance.

1978
01:51:02,100 --> 01:51:07,500
Even though Joseph Joseph two
kids did, but Even Manassas.

1979
01:51:07,500 --> 01:51:11,200
They both got a land inheritance
but the two private didn't get

1980
01:51:11,200 --> 01:51:13,600
it was Levi, right?
The tribe of leave.

1981
01:51:13,600 --> 01:51:16,700
I did didn't land inheritance
because their inheritance was

1982
01:51:16,700 --> 01:51:18,000
the temple.
Yep.

1983
01:51:18,900 --> 01:51:21,400
And Joseph didn't get
inheritance.

1984
01:51:22,300 --> 01:51:25,400
And I friend that I was like,
wait a minute, but I thought

1985
01:51:25,400 --> 01:51:27,500
Joseph was the good one.
Alright.

1986
01:51:27,500 --> 01:51:29,600
Alright.
He's the one that got the coat

1987
01:51:29,600 --> 01:51:34,100
of many colors.
Why did he get denied a land

1988
01:51:34,100 --> 01:51:35,900
inheritance over there in
Israel?

1989
01:51:37,100 --> 01:51:38,500
Because his inherited the reason
why.

1990
01:51:39,800 --> 01:51:41,600
It's right.
Yeah.

1991
01:51:41,600 --> 01:51:44,900
Yep.
His inheritance is America

1992
01:51:44,900 --> 01:51:46,600
right?
Yep.

1993
01:51:46,600 --> 01:51:50,000
And going back to Washington,
one of the things if you study

1994
01:51:50,000 --> 01:51:52,900
Washington, even for a little
bit is he?

1995
01:51:52,900 --> 01:51:58,100
He had a general self-awareness
about himself especially later

1996
01:51:58,100 --> 01:52:01,300
in life where he understood he
was set in the President, right?

1997
01:52:01,300 --> 01:52:05,300
And that's why for years and
years, it was not in the

1998
01:52:05,300 --> 01:52:07,700
Constitution that you could only
serve two terms, right?

1999
01:52:07,700 --> 01:52:10,900
Because Washington, set the
president and everyone said you

2000
01:52:10,900 --> 01:52:14,800
know you think you're better
than Washington So with that

2001
01:52:14,808 --> 01:52:18,200
understanding that Washington's
very, deliberate about what he

2002
01:52:18,200 --> 01:52:21,800
does, the idea that oh, well,
they just opened up to some page

2003
01:52:21,800 --> 01:52:24,900
and went for it.
No, I I don't buy that for a

2004
01:52:24,900 --> 01:52:27,500
minute, right?
Because if it was just that he

2005
01:52:27,500 --> 01:52:30,100
had just opened it up somewhere
in the middle, that made sense

2006
01:52:30,100 --> 01:52:35,000
he specifically went there for a
reason, right?

2007
01:52:35,000 --> 01:52:38,700
And it was recorded and it would
do us, well, the go back and

2008
01:52:38,700 --> 01:52:40,700
look at those things.
Yeah.

2009
01:52:40,700 --> 01:52:43,000
Yeah, that's interesting.
We found I think it's three

2010
01:52:43,000 --> 01:52:46,200
different times that the
founding fathers actually talked

2011
01:52:46,200 --> 01:52:52,900
about that one day.
There will be a New Jerusalem on

2012
01:52:52,900 --> 01:52:54,900
in America.
Yep.

2013
01:52:54,900 --> 01:52:57,100
He actually talked about a New
Jerusalem before.

2014
01:52:57,100 --> 01:53:00,700
Joseph Smith was even born.
Yep, the Founding Father for

2015
01:53:00,700 --> 01:53:03,400
talking about that.
There's, there's something that

2016
01:53:03,400 --> 01:53:05,300
where were they getting this
from?

2017
01:53:05,300 --> 01:53:06,800
Yep.
Yep.

2018
01:53:06,800 --> 01:53:12,800
Well, there's an interesting.
Passage in a book called Brother

2019
01:53:12,800 --> 01:53:17,400
Joseph by Cleon scales and it's
two volume set and in the first

2020
01:53:17,400 --> 01:53:20,800
page is that set.
It goes actually over kind of a

2021
01:53:20,800 --> 01:53:26,400
prophecy that was made by Thomas
Jefferson and which he says, and

2022
01:53:26,400 --> 01:53:30,700
I'm paraphrasing here that at
some point, there'll be somebody

2023
01:53:30,700 --> 01:53:34,200
from the continent that will
come forward to restore the true

2024
01:53:34,200 --> 01:53:37,000
principles of Christianity.
Right?

2025
01:53:37,000 --> 01:53:41,700
And there's so many stories.
I mean one is that Washington

2026
01:53:41,700 --> 01:53:46,400
essentially the British have
kind of had enough and they're

2027
01:53:46,400 --> 01:53:50,500
willing to compromise greatly
with Washington to just get this

2028
01:53:50,500 --> 01:53:53,600
conflict over with right and
they go to Washington.

2029
01:53:53,600 --> 01:53:57,000
And they offer him a sweethearts
deal, they really do.

2030
01:53:57,000 --> 01:54:02,200
But in that moment Washington's
like something has changed right

2031
01:54:02,200 --> 01:54:06,400
for Washington, it stops
becoming about taxes now and

2032
01:54:06,400 --> 01:54:09,700
prosperity.
And he begins to sense that

2033
01:54:09,700 --> 01:54:12,700
something else is going on
evidence by the fact that he

2034
01:54:12,700 --> 01:54:16,300
turns them down.
He says, no you want you want

2035
01:54:16,300 --> 01:54:18,500
this to end, just get off, get
off the land.

2036
01:54:18,500 --> 01:54:22,700
So there's the when you start
talking about the founders in

2037
01:54:22,700 --> 01:54:27,200
the early, settlers in America,
It's, it's worth a study because

2038
01:54:27,200 --> 01:54:30,100
what you see, is that, they very
much understood that, this was a

2039
01:54:30,100 --> 01:54:34,100
continuation of Israel story.
Yeah, you're exactly right.

2040
01:54:34,100 --> 01:54:41,200
But the interesting thing is At
the the previous civilizations

2041
01:54:41,200 --> 01:54:44,800
that were here on this American
land, you know, from the, from

2042
01:54:44,800 --> 01:54:46,600
the Nephites.
I mean, they understood also

2043
01:54:46,600 --> 01:54:49,700
that they were told that they're
going to be coming to a Promised

2044
01:54:49,700 --> 01:54:51,000
Land.
Yep, right.

2045
01:54:51,000 --> 01:54:55,300
And then and the jaredites
before them were told that they

2046
01:54:55,300 --> 01:54:56,700
were going to be coming to a
promised land.

2047
01:54:56,700 --> 01:55:00,500
So this land of promise thing is
really important aspect of it

2048
01:55:00,500 --> 01:55:03,200
and it's I think it's even more
important than you know

2049
01:55:03,200 --> 01:55:05,200
speculations about narrow necks
of land.

2050
01:55:05,200 --> 01:55:08,100
Right?
And that's that's kind of my

2051
01:55:08,100 --> 01:55:11,100
point with this is when I
started to do the research on

2052
01:55:11,100 --> 01:55:13,000
this as like, oh my gosh, you
know, this, this is pretty

2053
01:55:13,000 --> 01:55:15,100
clear.
So that's about, you know, five

2054
01:55:15,100 --> 01:55:17,200
times has been the land of the
New Jerusalem four times.

2055
01:55:17,200 --> 01:55:19,700
It says, it's me the land.
We're all either worship, God

2056
01:55:19,700 --> 01:55:22,900
are going to get destroyed.
So basically you better be

2057
01:55:22,900 --> 01:55:24,700
Believers if you're gonna be on
this land because you're not

2058
01:55:24,700 --> 01:55:29,800
going to be on the land for very
long, if you're not, Says three

2059
01:55:29,800 --> 01:55:32,400
times Landers being prepared for
the Lord's people.

2060
01:55:32,400 --> 01:55:33,700
It's never going to be brought
into captivity.

2061
01:55:33,700 --> 01:55:35,600
It's going to be fortified
against all.

2062
01:55:36,400 --> 01:55:40,200
Other nations that that see,
that's a, that's a part of that

2063
01:55:40,200 --> 01:55:43,100
abrahamic, Covenant, right?
So the abrahamic Covenant, we

2064
01:55:43,100 --> 01:55:45,300
didn't really get into it too
much but it basically involved

2065
01:55:45,300 --> 01:55:48,900
the land posterity prosperity
and security.

2066
01:55:48,900 --> 01:55:51,600
I have a whole presentation on
just that part of it because

2067
01:55:51,600 --> 01:55:54,600
it's so important.
But that again, trying to try to

2068
01:55:54,600 --> 01:55:58,300
just narrow this down so we can
don't go for 10 hours here or

2069
01:55:58,300 --> 01:56:03,500
two weeks.
But they basically, you know,

2070
01:56:03,500 --> 01:56:08,800
it's one of the things that's
The security Clause, right?

2071
01:56:08,800 --> 01:56:10,800
As long as the people are
righteous, God will literally

2072
01:56:10,800 --> 01:56:13,200
fight their battles for them,
right, right.

2073
01:56:13,200 --> 01:56:16,100
And this happened to the Jared
is happen with the Nephites

2074
01:56:16,100 --> 01:56:18,400
where they talked about how the,
the late nights were always

2075
01:56:18,407 --> 01:56:21,100
coming with the bigger Army and
more men and so forth.

2076
01:56:21,100 --> 01:56:24,200
And yet the fights would Prevail
in battling against them and so

2077
01:56:24,200 --> 01:56:26,700
forth.
As long as they're righteous God

2078
01:56:26,700 --> 01:56:27,700
would fight their battles for
them.

2079
01:56:27,700 --> 01:56:29,800
It's gonna be land.
Only for those who brought by

2080
01:56:29,800 --> 01:56:31,900
the lord, it's going to be for
the knowledge of other nations.

2081
01:56:31,900 --> 01:56:35,700
It's going to be where none will
molest that say the land.

2082
01:56:37,000 --> 01:56:39,300
King.
That's a really critical one

2083
01:56:39,300 --> 01:56:41,900
because who is going to be the
king of this land.

2084
01:56:41,900 --> 01:56:44,600
It's Christ.
Yep right.

2085
01:56:44,600 --> 01:56:48,600
He says but he's not going to
allow another king or a king to

2086
01:56:48,600 --> 01:56:53,100
be on this land.
Okay, so that's interesting one

2087
01:56:53,100 --> 01:56:56,400
because you know, where in the
Americas do we have a nation

2088
01:56:56,400 --> 01:56:59,200
that hasn't been ruled by a king
ever since they their

2089
01:56:59,200 --> 01:57:01,400
receptionist and to became a
nation?

2090
01:57:01,400 --> 01:57:05,200
They've never had a king. well,
candidate it real without

2091
01:57:05,200 --> 01:57:08,500
candidate because I mean they
they still are under the queen,

2092
01:57:08,500 --> 01:57:10,200
right?
You look at right you look at

2093
01:57:10,200 --> 01:57:12,900
their money system, it's just
the queen on the money so forth,

2094
01:57:12,900 --> 01:57:15,800
right?
You look at the Mexico.

2095
01:57:15,800 --> 01:57:17,900
For example, had the King
Ferdinand.

2096
01:57:17,900 --> 01:57:20,600
I believe it was right?
No, keep Maximilian King

2097
01:57:20,600 --> 01:57:26,100
Maximilian.
He was a king of Mexico after

2098
01:57:26,100 --> 01:57:29,300
their, you know, after they were
established as a nation.

2099
01:57:30,100 --> 01:57:33,200
So the only nation that hasn't
had a king in.

2100
01:57:33,200 --> 01:57:36,200
The Americas is basically the
United States at this point.

2101
01:57:36,200 --> 01:57:39,000
Well, now that's gonna be a man.
It's gonna be visited by Christ.

2102
01:57:39,000 --> 01:57:41,000
It's gonna be sacred.
Sacred record is going to be

2103
01:57:41,008 --> 01:57:44,500
kept in this particular Nation.
Oh, hold on one second because I

2104
01:57:44,500 --> 01:57:46,400
can already see the pushback
coming.

2105
01:57:46,400 --> 01:57:49,900
So let me beat him to the punch,
weren't the 13 colonies.

2106
01:57:49,900 --> 01:57:53,500
Under a king, isn't that what
7776 was about?

2107
01:57:53,500 --> 01:57:55,300
America wasn't established as a
nation.

2108
01:57:55,300 --> 01:57:58,200
At that point.
Okay, fair enough?

2109
01:57:58,208 --> 01:57:59,400
No, you're right.
You're, right.

2110
01:57:59,400 --> 01:58:01,500
We were, we were calling used to
break.

2111
01:58:01,508 --> 01:58:04,500
That's what the whole worry of
Independence was about right?

2112
01:58:04,500 --> 01:58:06,300
Okay?
No, that makes sense.

2113
01:58:07,500 --> 01:58:10,000
So what so what's George
Washington took over and made

2114
01:58:10,000 --> 01:58:13,500
the Covenant with God?
That never parking lot on.

2115
01:58:13,500 --> 01:58:16,100
Yeah, that starts the clock on
the nation, okay.

2116
01:58:16,100 --> 01:58:19,200
Okay.
And people say well and I had

2117
01:58:19,200 --> 01:58:23,000
this asked me, I just did a
debate actually with worth Ward

2118
01:58:23,000 --> 01:58:24,700
radio here about a week or so
ago.

2119
01:58:24,700 --> 01:58:28,600
And the question was is okay, so
you're saying that the United

2120
01:58:28,608 --> 01:58:33,000
States of America but the United
States, what and 1830 or later

2121
01:58:33,000 --> 01:58:39,200
on with the with the with
Louisiana Purchase or was it the

2122
01:58:39,200 --> 01:58:41,500
Mexican territory purchase or
was it the Northwest Territory

2123
01:58:41,500 --> 01:58:44,800
purchase?
You know which America is it

2124
01:58:44,800 --> 01:58:47,600
right?
And my family is basically God

2125
01:58:47,600 --> 01:58:49,800
knows that this nation was going
to end up becoming and say well

2126
01:58:49,808 --> 01:58:52,900
okay so that's taking the what
happens in the future?

2127
01:58:52,900 --> 01:58:57,600
Somebody brought up what if
president Trump Ministry?

2128
01:58:57,600 --> 01:59:01,400
Annexes Canada in the United
States now is now is Canada part

2129
01:59:01,400 --> 01:59:02,600
of the Prime Minister Promised
Land?

2130
01:59:02,600 --> 01:59:06,700
What if what if Mexico gets
annexed into the United States?

2131
01:59:06,700 --> 01:59:08,900
You know, whatever, you know is
that going to be?

2132
01:59:08,907 --> 01:59:12,500
Now part of the promised land?
The Mexico would now then B.

2133
01:59:12,500 --> 01:59:15,800
And I said, yeah, at my feeling
is basically, the promised land

2134
01:59:15,800 --> 01:59:18,000
has been pretty clear.
It's the heartland of America,

2135
01:59:18,000 --> 01:59:21,100
right?
It's, it's where the guy, with

2136
01:59:21,100 --> 01:59:26,500
where the, the Garden of Eden
was it's where Adam dwells, it's

2137
01:59:26,500 --> 01:59:29,000
where the New Jerusalem is going
to be.

2138
01:59:29,000 --> 01:59:31,700
It's where the gospel is
restored and established and so

2139
01:59:31,700 --> 01:59:34,300
forth, right?
Yo, that's the land.

2140
01:59:34,300 --> 01:59:38,000
I don't, I don't think we have
After wander and worry about

2141
01:59:38,008 --> 01:59:41,400
exactly what time frame, the
Lord's talking about because the

2142
01:59:41,400 --> 01:59:43,400
Lord knows what this nation was
going to be and it's been about

2143
01:59:43,400 --> 01:59:46,300
the same now for what 200 years?
Yep, or so.

2144
01:59:46,300 --> 01:59:49,000
Yeah, it hasn't really changed.
Dramatically has been a couple

2145
01:59:49,000 --> 01:59:52,400
of territories here and there or
whatever, but really, the 50

2146
01:59:52,400 --> 01:59:56,500
states have been, you know,
there for a very long time of

2147
01:59:56,500 --> 01:59:59,000
that 200 years.
So, my assumption is, is that,

2148
01:59:59,000 --> 02:00:01,700
that's what that's what God was
talking about, and actually get

2149
02:00:01,700 --> 02:00:02,900
into that.
Just a second here, when we get

2150
02:00:02,900 --> 02:00:07,600
into the center of the land
thing, which we Talked about

2151
02:00:07,600 --> 02:00:10,500
what the independence, okay?
But it was so these, so these

2152
02:00:10,500 --> 02:00:14,100
are 18 promises about the land
itself, but also has profits.

2153
02:00:14,100 --> 02:00:16,200
He's about the people who are
going to occupy this land.

2154
02:00:16,200 --> 02:00:18,000
Let's take a look at those, for
example.

2155
02:00:18,000 --> 02:00:21,000
So, who are these Latter-Day?
Gentiles says 13 times, Dental

2156
02:00:21,000 --> 02:00:23,300
get a scattered, they're going
to flick the rim that this is

2157
02:00:23,308 --> 02:00:25,700
the lamanites, write, write 10
times.

2158
02:00:25,700 --> 02:00:28,200
The Gentiles gonna bring forth
from marvelous work in a wonder,

2159
02:00:28,200 --> 02:00:30,800
where did the Book of Mormon
actually come forth?

2160
02:00:30,800 --> 02:00:32,400
This is The Marvelous work in a
wonder.

2161
02:00:32,400 --> 02:00:35,600
Where did it happen, right?
A mile at wasn't.

2162
02:00:35,600 --> 02:00:37,700
So the next.
Oh, okay.

2163
02:00:37,700 --> 02:00:40,200
It was in the United States.
Says the Gentiles are going to

2164
02:00:40,200 --> 02:00:42,000
show him, be showing mercy and
receive the Gospel.

2165
02:00:42,000 --> 02:00:44,400
They're going to bring the
gospel to the remnant, the

2166
02:00:44,400 --> 02:00:46,500
gentos going to the land for
their inheritance.

2167
02:00:46,500 --> 02:00:48,900
The Gentiles going to be blessed
and they're going to prosper on

2168
02:00:48,900 --> 02:00:51,800
this land.
The Gentiles and became a mighty

2169
02:00:51,800 --> 02:00:55,200
nation above all other nations.
It's kind of funny that whenever

2170
02:00:55,200 --> 02:00:58,800
I brought that up I said what
other what nation is does

2171
02:00:58,800 --> 02:01:03,100
anybody here believe that
Guatemala is a nation of all of

2172
02:01:03,100 --> 02:01:05,800
the Nations and if that's the
case in what way is, what?

2173
02:01:06,800 --> 02:01:10,400
Amala that the Nation about all
of the Nations and I had one guy

2174
02:01:10,400 --> 02:01:13,000
in the back of a presentation,
one time to kind of raise his

2175
02:01:13,000 --> 02:01:16,500
hand kind of sheepishly.
And he said, okay says, well,

2176
02:01:16,500 --> 02:01:18,800
how about the number of drug
lords per capita?

2177
02:01:18,800 --> 02:01:24,400
There's bare bear.
Okay, you got me there?

2178
02:01:24,400 --> 02:01:27,300
Okay.
But I don't think that's what

2179
02:01:27,300 --> 02:01:31,400
the Lord's talking about, right?
Okay, so it's like he's gonna be

2180
02:01:31,400 --> 02:01:34,000
a blast and prosper on the last
gonna become a mighty nation,

2181
02:01:34,000 --> 02:01:35,900
then not going to remain in
blindness.

2182
02:01:37,100 --> 02:01:39,500
The Gentiles are gonna come out
of captivity to come to this

2183
02:01:39,500 --> 02:01:41,300
land.
Now, there were some of that

2184
02:01:41,300 --> 02:01:44,300
that happened in Central America
as well, but basically, they

2185
02:01:44,300 --> 02:01:48,800
emptied a lot of the the the
Jails of, you know, the the

2186
02:01:48,800 --> 02:01:53,300
prisons of Europe.
To get rid of those, those

2187
02:01:53,300 --> 02:01:54,600
prisoners they didn't have to
take care of.

2188
02:01:54,600 --> 02:01:57,300
It was just, hey, we're just
gonna send them over to the to

2189
02:01:57,300 --> 02:02:00,100
the new world allowed to go.
Fight it out over there.

2190
02:02:00,100 --> 02:02:02,100
Yep.
Empty their presence.

2191
02:02:02,100 --> 02:02:03,800
Just like they've been emptying,
their prisons.

2192
02:02:03,800 --> 02:02:07,500
Now bringing people and as
illegals into the United States

2193
02:02:07,500 --> 02:02:11,500
and emptying the presence in
Venezuela and other countries,

2194
02:02:11,500 --> 02:02:13,900
and now they're sending them all
to the United States with our

2195
02:02:13,900 --> 02:02:16,300
open border policy.
We've had the last few, you

2196
02:02:16,300 --> 02:02:17,900
know, a few years.
Right?

2197
02:02:17,900 --> 02:02:22,500
You know to political here, but
bottom line is, is that the same

2198
02:02:22,500 --> 02:02:23,800
thing?
Is kind of been happening there

2199
02:02:23,800 --> 02:02:26,600
and it just to finish this up
really quickly on this part of

2200
02:02:26,600 --> 02:02:28,600
it here.
These Gentiles are going to come

2201
02:02:28,600 --> 02:02:30,200
to this land.
They're going to be protected by

2202
02:02:30,200 --> 02:02:33,400
God.
Long is there righteous God will

2203
02:02:33,400 --> 02:02:34,400
fight their battles for them,
right?

2204
02:02:34,400 --> 02:02:37,800
Gentile is going to land of
liberty.

2205
02:02:37,800 --> 02:02:40,600
In this country, they're going
to become multitudes upon the

2206
02:02:40,600 --> 02:02:42,100
land.
They're going to be not, they're

2207
02:02:42,100 --> 02:02:43,900
not going to destroy the rim
that though, even though they're

2208
02:02:43,900 --> 02:02:46,100
going to displace them and
scatter them, they're not going

2209
02:02:46,100 --> 02:02:48,500
to just destroy them.
In fact, they become like,

2210
02:02:48,500 --> 02:02:50,900
nursing mothers to them, right?
Right.

2211
02:02:52,000 --> 02:02:55,000
Um just going to bring other
books of Truth like the Bible.

2212
02:02:55,000 --> 02:02:56,300
They're going to bring the Bible
to the red.

2213
02:02:56,300 --> 02:02:58,100
That the church is going to be
established among these

2214
02:02:58,100 --> 02:03:00,400
Gentiles.
And the mother Gentiles are

2215
02:03:00,400 --> 02:03:02,200
going to battle against the
Gentiles Who come out of

2216
02:03:02,200 --> 02:03:08,800
captivity. so, did Christ then
prophecy that the New Jerusalem

2217
02:03:08,800 --> 02:03:10,200
will be built on Bookworm and
land.

2218
02:03:11,600 --> 02:03:13,600
Yes, people I established in
this land.

2219
02:03:14,900 --> 02:03:16,700
But filling the Covenant should
be okay.

2220
02:03:16,700 --> 02:03:19,500
So I think that he did this is
this is showing here in ether

2221
02:03:19,500 --> 02:03:23,200
that the connections here, this
land, it's a choice land.

2222
02:03:23,200 --> 02:03:25,000
It's a chosen land, and it's the
New Jerusalem.

2223
02:03:25,000 --> 02:03:28,100
Okay.
Same thing in ether, chapter 13,

2224
02:03:28,100 --> 02:03:30,100
New Jersey.
Since on this land is just on

2225
02:03:30,100 --> 02:03:32,700
this land under this remnant of
the seed of Joseph.

2226
02:03:32,700 --> 02:03:38,500
So here we have the, you know,
the the knee bites are both

2227
02:03:38,500 --> 02:03:42,100
saying that the New Jerusalem of
the future is going to be on

2228
02:03:42,100 --> 02:03:46,100
their lands where they're at
now, So that's basically my

2229
02:03:46,100 --> 02:03:48,400
bottom line right here.
Okay.

2230
02:03:48,400 --> 02:03:52,000
The only nation that fulfills
every book and requirement to

2231
02:03:52,000 --> 02:03:54,100
be, the promised land is the
United States of America.

2232
02:03:54,900 --> 02:03:57,200
Now, I've had people accuse me
of saying well you know you just

2233
02:03:57,200 --> 02:04:00,300
being raw USA you're just
playing a people's you know

2234
02:04:00,308 --> 02:04:04,900
patriotism and their heartfelt
understanding of you know that

2235
02:04:04,900 --> 02:04:08,300
they love this country.
And so forth and you just played

2236
02:04:08,300 --> 02:04:11,200
into that.
And my answer is no, I'm not

2237
02:04:11,200 --> 02:04:13,700
actually.
These are the words of God that

2238
02:04:13,700 --> 02:04:15,600
we've just gone through these
are all scriptures that we were

2239
02:04:15,600 --> 02:04:18,300
going through.
That talks about these

2240
02:04:18,300 --> 02:04:23,000
prophecies and Promises.
In fact, I remember a few years

2241
02:04:23,000 --> 02:04:27,200
ago, I was I was headed up to do
several presentations up in

2242
02:04:27,200 --> 02:04:32,900
British Columbia Canada and as
I'm going up, the I was doing

2243
02:04:32,900 --> 02:04:35,400
presentations up along, Oregon
and Washington.

2244
02:04:37,200 --> 02:04:39,900
Before I got up into Canada as
I'm heading up to Canada.

2245
02:04:39,900 --> 02:04:44,300
I'm thinking you know, this is
kind of USA Centric know it's

2246
02:04:44,300 --> 02:04:47,600
like, I wonder how these
Canadians are going to, you

2247
02:04:47,600 --> 02:04:52,300
know, maybe I should alter my
presentation to be a little

2248
02:04:52,300 --> 02:04:55,900
less, you know, around USA, kind
of thing, right, right.

2249
02:04:56,900 --> 02:05:02,800
As I was going up there.
I had kind of a Stern reprimand.

2250
02:05:03,800 --> 02:05:10,600
And they the the words basically
were whose prophecies are these

2251
02:05:10,600 --> 02:05:12,200
anyway.
Yours or mine.

2252
02:05:12,200 --> 02:05:16,700
Interesting.
And so I thought, well, you know

2253
02:05:16,700 --> 02:05:18,500
what?
Yeah, this is not, this is not

2254
02:05:18,500 --> 02:05:21,200
my words.
I am simply just telling what

2255
02:05:21,200 --> 02:05:23,600
the Lord said in what I should
say.

2256
02:05:23,600 --> 02:05:27,100
What the Book of Mormon says,
about this promised land and I'm

2257
02:05:27,100 --> 02:05:29,400
not gonna, I'm not gonna
sugarcoat it and I'm not gonna

2258
02:05:29,400 --> 02:05:31,500
change it.
I'm just gonna do it the exact

2259
02:05:31,508 --> 02:05:32,900
same way.
So I went up there to Canada,

2260
02:05:32,900 --> 02:05:38,400
talk to the Canadian Saints up
there and, and they, they

2261
02:05:38,400 --> 02:05:41,600
totally got it.
He said, yeah, we we know he

2262
02:05:41,600 --> 02:05:44,900
said basically as as the United
States goes so goes candidate,

2263
02:05:44,900 --> 02:05:48,400
if Canada if the United States
goes down if the United States

2264
02:05:48,400 --> 02:05:53,700
becomes so corrupt and so forth,
it will affect us and we'll go

2265
02:05:53,700 --> 02:05:58,100
down with it.
Yeah. now I can I can I can say

2266
02:05:58,100 --> 02:06:01,700
this is pretty much, you know
this is a factual situation that

2267
02:06:01,700 --> 02:06:05,500
if the United States ever goes
down but if it collapses you

2268
02:06:05,500 --> 02:06:12,600
know, monetary or if we continue
in our collapse of, you know,

2269
02:06:12,600 --> 02:06:17,700
beliefs and God basically That
entire world's going down.

2270
02:06:17,700 --> 02:06:19,300
Yeah.
Yeah.

2271
02:06:19,300 --> 02:06:24,300
There there is.
No doubt. at this stage that,

2272
02:06:25,400 --> 02:06:28,600
What Ronald Reagan said
absolutely holds true.

2273
02:06:28,600 --> 02:06:31,900
And now this is usually when I
talk about Reagan is, when I

2274
02:06:31,900 --> 02:06:38,200
usually start getting a lot of
hate mail Reagan, interact, One

2275
02:06:38,200 --> 02:06:40,500
day, I'm just gonna write a book
and it's gonna be called day.

2276
02:06:40,500 --> 02:06:43,200
People say the darndest things
about Dave and it's just gonna

2277
02:06:43,200 --> 02:06:47,700
be a collection of hate mail.
Everyone anyway.

2278
02:06:49,200 --> 02:06:53,800
Reagan said that.
Um, the world's last best hope

2279
02:06:53,800 --> 02:06:58,400
is still America and America's
last best hope still rest with

2280
02:06:58,400 --> 02:07:03,000
with us right?
And how we Kind of Define our

2281
02:07:03,000 --> 02:07:07,900
relationship with God and I've
had more than one person reach

2282
02:07:07,900 --> 02:07:10,900
out to me.
The two that come to minding me

2283
02:07:10,900 --> 02:07:15,100
is one that lives over and
Scotland and then another that

2284
02:07:15,100 --> 02:07:20,600
lives in the UK who said As goes
America, there goes the West,

2285
02:07:20,600 --> 02:07:22,500
right?
And when they say the West,

2286
02:07:22,500 --> 02:07:25,700
they're not talking Geographic
things, they're talking about

2287
02:07:25,700 --> 02:07:29,400
those ideals of Western
Civilization that have quite

2288
02:07:29,400 --> 02:07:32,700
frankly, caused the world to
thrive in a way that's

2289
02:07:32,700 --> 02:07:36,900
unprecedented in human history.
So and and these are the words,

2290
02:07:36,900 --> 02:07:40,000
the the Lord's words, right?
They're not ours that we don't

2291
02:07:40,008 --> 02:07:43,200
get to dictate.
Gosh, I think the message is

2292
02:07:43,200 --> 02:07:48,000
too, is to to Centric to one
geographic location.

2293
02:07:48,000 --> 02:07:51,600
Can we use some some adjusting
here to make people feel more

2294
02:07:51,600 --> 02:07:55,000
included?
It's just what it is, right?

2295
02:07:55,000 --> 02:07:58,100
The truth Has No Agenda.
It doesn't care about your

2296
02:07:58,100 --> 02:08:01,100
feelings.
It doesn't care about about how

2297
02:08:01,100 --> 02:08:04,500
you feel right?
This simply because it exists.

2298
02:08:05,400 --> 02:08:09,300
Yeah, but I've had people
basically say well, you know so

2299
02:08:09,300 --> 02:08:12,500
the what somehow, the United
States is better than all other

2300
02:08:12,500 --> 02:08:16,800
nations and my answer is
absolutely not know, just like,

2301
02:08:16,800 --> 02:08:23,300
just like Abraham was giving the
the, the the land of Canaan.

2302
02:08:24,100 --> 02:08:28,500
Okay, he was also given and I
wish I had not taken that part

2303
02:08:28,500 --> 02:08:30,800
out of this just because this
presentation is so much better

2304
02:08:30,800 --> 02:08:33,600
with it all the abrahamic
Covenant stuff in it.

2305
02:08:33,600 --> 02:08:37,700
But one of the things that
Abraham was That the reasons for

2306
02:08:37,708 --> 02:08:39,700
the blessings.
So, Abraham was giving these

2307
02:08:39,700 --> 02:08:43,000
blessings of the land posterity
prosperity and security, right?

2308
02:08:43,000 --> 02:08:46,800
Those were those rights.
Also given a charge, he was

2309
02:08:46,800 --> 02:08:49,600
given a requirement and that
requirement is, is that

2310
02:08:49,600 --> 02:08:52,600
basically you have to live the
Commandments, that was, that was

2311
02:08:52,600 --> 02:08:57,600
the, that was the foundations.
That was the the This is the

2312
02:08:57,600 --> 02:08:59,500
prerequisite for receiving the
blessings.

2313
02:08:59,500 --> 02:09:03,100
As you have the live, The 10
Commandments, but the whole

2314
02:09:03,100 --> 02:09:10,100
thing with Abraham had to do
with one Charge that he had.

2315
02:09:10,900 --> 02:09:14,400
He says it through your
posterity well all the nations

2316
02:09:14,400 --> 02:09:16,700
of the earth, be blessed, even
with the blessings of the life

2317
02:09:16,700 --> 02:09:19,100
of life, eternal with blessings,
the blessings of the Gospel

2318
02:09:19,100 --> 02:09:20,400
which is the blessings of life
eternal.

2319
02:09:20,400 --> 02:09:23,200
Okay.
So he says it So in other words,

2320
02:09:23,200 --> 02:09:27,600
he says Abraham you and your
posterity, you're going to need

2321
02:09:27,600 --> 02:09:31,100
to have these special blessings
and I have asked people all over

2322
02:09:31,108 --> 02:09:33,100
the place.
Just said, so yeah, why is

2323
02:09:33,100 --> 02:09:35,500
Abraham giving special blessings
is God.

2324
02:09:37,200 --> 02:09:39,700
A is he partial to certain
people?

2325
02:09:39,700 --> 02:09:43,100
This is he loved some of his
children more than us other

2326
02:09:43,100 --> 02:09:45,900
children and the answer, of
course, is no, he doesn't, but

2327
02:09:45,900 --> 02:09:48,500
it doesn't change.
The fact that Abraham was given

2328
02:09:48,500 --> 02:09:52,300
this charge and that is that
he'd be the one.

2329
02:09:52,300 --> 02:09:55,000
His prose to be the one that
takes the gospel to all the

2330
02:09:55,000 --> 02:09:58,400
other nations of the Earth.
So, they have been given a

2331
02:09:58,400 --> 02:10:04,400
specific, you know, mission to
fulfill my mission to accomplish

2332
02:10:04,400 --> 02:10:08,200
and they're going to need to
have Specific blessings to

2333
02:10:08,200 --> 02:10:10,600
accomplish that mission, and
those lessons are going to be

2334
02:10:10,608 --> 02:10:13,800
the gonna need to land.
Why do they need a land?

2335
02:10:13,800 --> 02:10:20,500
Because they need to establish a
civilization of of belief.

2336
02:10:20,500 --> 02:10:26,200
They need to establish a
community that they can teach

2337
02:10:26,200 --> 02:10:30,400
their kids about God. so they
got to give them this land, he's

2338
02:10:30,400 --> 02:10:32,200
going to bless him with
posterity because in order to

2339
02:10:32,200 --> 02:10:35,000
have a powerful missionary
Force, you have to have people

2340
02:10:35,000 --> 02:10:40,200
who You know, from the gospel
spread from heart to heart and

2341
02:10:40,200 --> 02:10:42,800
from the spirit to Spirit, so
you get to have kids.

2342
02:10:42,800 --> 02:10:45,400
So God says, I'm going to bless
you with the greatest blessing.

2343
02:10:45,400 --> 02:10:47,600
I can give you, which is
children, right?

2344
02:10:47,600 --> 02:10:50,300
There's a mouth, get a blessed
with prosperity because it's not

2345
02:10:50,300 --> 02:10:52,400
cheap to have a powerful
missionary Force Abraham.

2346
02:10:52,400 --> 02:10:54,500
If you're going to have a big
missionary Force, you have to

2347
02:10:54,500 --> 02:10:57,400
have the money to do it.
That money has to come from

2348
02:10:57,400 --> 02:10:59,000
somewhere.
So I'm going to prosper you on

2349
02:10:59,000 --> 02:11:02,000
the land.
Yes, are you gonna Prosper on

2350
02:11:02,000 --> 02:11:03,800
this land?
And then he said, the fourth

2351
02:11:03,800 --> 02:11:05,600
thing is, is you're going to
have to have security because

2352
02:11:05,600 --> 02:11:08,900
even if you have the first
three, if you have the land and

2353
02:11:08,900 --> 02:11:15,000
posterity and prosperity, but
you at War, you can't really

2354
02:11:15,000 --> 02:11:17,500
have a powerful missionary for
us if you're taking all of your

2355
02:11:17,500 --> 02:11:19,700
young men and women to go fight
battles.

2356
02:11:19,700 --> 02:11:22,300
Right?
Says, I'm gonna I'm gonna take

2357
02:11:22,300 --> 02:11:23,600
care of your worst situation,
too.

2358
02:11:24,600 --> 02:11:27,800
And with those four things, you
should be able to build the

2359
02:11:27,800 --> 02:11:31,000
biggest, most powerful
missionary force, on the earth,

2360
02:11:31,000 --> 02:11:34,500
to be able to take that my
gospel out to all the other of

2361
02:11:34,500 --> 02:11:38,900
my kids who need it.
Yeah, but Abraham, that's your

2362
02:11:38,900 --> 02:11:40,700
charge.
That's what you're supposed to

2363
02:11:40,708 --> 02:11:42,800
do.
And that's and that's basically

2364
02:11:42,800 --> 02:11:46,100
what he what he's done.
So essentially so the United

2365
02:11:46,100 --> 02:11:49,900
States becomes that promised
land to fulfill that part of the

2366
02:11:49,907 --> 02:11:53,100
Covenant to know the missionary
work of the church comes out

2367
02:11:53,100 --> 02:11:55,500
primarily of the United States.
Right.

2368
02:11:55,500 --> 02:11:57,800
You know.
Right, right that's just this is

2369
02:11:57,800 --> 02:12:03,100
a this is Elder L Tom Perry a
possible, you know, basically in

2370
02:12:03,100 --> 02:12:04,800
the corner of the public
Apostles Salt Lake Church.

2371
02:12:04,808 --> 02:12:08,100
He says the he actually, he
said, the United States is the

2372
02:12:08,100 --> 02:12:09,500
promised land for total in the
Book of Mormon.

2373
02:12:10,400 --> 02:12:14,200
Now, he didn't say the Americas.
And then, of course, we could

2374
02:12:14,208 --> 02:12:16,200
get into the Phoenicians
Expedition and we haven't really

2375
02:12:16,208 --> 02:12:19,900
gotten into the actual evidence
is, but I think this is the most

2376
02:12:19,900 --> 02:12:22,600
powerful evidence is the
scriptural foundations.

2377
02:12:23,400 --> 02:12:26,500
Yep, I wish we could go into
about four or five hours of

2378
02:12:26,500 --> 02:12:30,400
information about The Phoenician
ship, the ship that we actually

2379
02:12:30,400 --> 02:12:32,000
now own.
I don't know if you need that.

2380
02:12:32,008 --> 02:12:34,800
Dave.
I, you know, I talked, I didn't

2381
02:12:34,800 --> 02:12:38,800
know that the when you say we
who are you talking about Rodman

2382
02:12:38,800 --> 02:12:41,600
research group, okay?
So I talked with the gentleman

2383
02:12:41,600 --> 02:12:45,600
and then a woman who was a
professor over in Tunisia and we

2384
02:12:45,600 --> 02:12:50,700
actually had a podcast and, and
talked about this ship here and,

2385
02:12:50,700 --> 02:12:53,500
you know, the new look
connection and that sort of

2386
02:12:53,508 --> 02:12:57,600
stuff, which was fascinating.
Yeah, I wanted to go back for

2387
02:12:57,600 --> 02:13:01,800
just a second and just talk
about something real quick.

2388
02:13:01,800 --> 02:13:06,400
And that is when, when people
start talking about, you know,

2389
02:13:06,407 --> 02:13:09,300
the promised land over in Israel
and the promised land here.

2390
02:13:10,600 --> 02:13:14,300
It's, as you were saying, it's
not something that was meant for

2391
02:13:14,300 --> 02:13:16,200
simply self-aggrandizement,
right?

2392
02:13:16,200 --> 02:13:18,500
Right.
We were blessed with the

2393
02:13:18,500 --> 02:13:23,900
understanding that we now have
to be of more service, right?

2394
02:13:23,900 --> 02:13:29,500
And as we look at certainly
America and we, you know, and I

2395
02:13:29,500 --> 02:13:31,600
don't want to whitewash things,
I understand we've done some

2396
02:13:31,600 --> 02:13:37,900
crappy stuff, right?
But But nonetheless, we have

2397
02:13:37,900 --> 02:13:43,300
been the stop Gap to tyranny by
and large right to this day.

2398
02:13:43,300 --> 02:13:46,900
Most Aid that the rest of the
world receives.

2399
02:13:48,100 --> 02:13:50,200
Excuse me, comes from these
Shores.

2400
02:13:51,500 --> 02:13:55,500
And there's a reason.
And I think the tocqueville hit

2401
02:13:55,500 --> 02:13:58,500
it just right when he said
America's great because

2402
02:13:58,500 --> 02:14:02,500
Americans are good, right?
And I still have hope for us.

2403
02:14:02,500 --> 02:14:07,400
Um yeah he also said if America
ever sees to be good She'll see

2404
02:14:07,400 --> 02:14:09,100
to be greater cool.
She's to be great.

2405
02:14:09,100 --> 02:14:10,400
Yep.
Yep.

2406
02:14:10,400 --> 02:14:13,600
And he understood that long
before the Book of Mormon was

2407
02:14:13,600 --> 02:14:19,000
really on the scene and It's
something that that we we

2408
02:14:19,000 --> 02:14:21,000
definitely need to keep in mind,
this isn't something.

2409
02:14:21,000 --> 02:14:24,500
We should thump our chest over.
We need to be humble and

2410
02:14:24,500 --> 02:14:29,100
understand that while we have
the privilege and the honor of

2411
02:14:29,100 --> 02:14:33,000
living on this land, there's
things expected of us and none

2412
02:14:33,000 --> 02:14:36,600
of that and includes.
Thumping, our chest and snubbing

2413
02:14:36,600 --> 02:14:38,600
our, our thumbs up the rest of
the world.

2414
02:14:38,600 --> 02:14:40,600
We have a responsibility to
fail.

2415
02:14:41,700 --> 02:14:45,400
Yeah, but if you look at you
know I mean the Lord has told us

2416
02:14:45,400 --> 02:14:49,500
that the best way to know if
something's good or bad if it

2417
02:14:49,500 --> 02:14:54,500
brings them to Christ.
If it you know it's basically by

2418
02:14:54,500 --> 02:14:55,400
their fruit, you shall know
them.

2419
02:14:55,400 --> 02:14:58,100
Right right.
Well what has been the fruit of

2420
02:14:58,100 --> 02:15:01,200
the United States that you can?
You can focus and say well the

2421
02:15:01,200 --> 02:15:03,100
fruit of the United States that
they had slaves and they had

2422
02:15:03,100 --> 02:15:08,400
this and you know and so forth
and so on But actually, when you

2423
02:15:08,400 --> 02:15:12,300
take a look at the real history,
the United States was the reason

2424
02:15:12,300 --> 02:15:16,600
why slavery is is not practiced
all over the world today.

2425
02:15:16,600 --> 02:15:20,200
It's still practice in a lot of
places, but the United States

2426
02:15:20,200 --> 02:15:23,600
and the the formation of the
Constitution of the United

2427
02:15:23,600 --> 02:15:28,000
States was the was the really
the blueprint for almost every

2428
02:15:28,000 --> 02:15:31,900
democracy if you will.
And we're not technically a

2429
02:15:31,900 --> 02:15:34,300
democracy, we're supposed to be
a republic, right?

2430
02:15:34,300 --> 02:15:38,100
You know, but but we've kind of
turned into more of a democracy.

2431
02:15:38,100 --> 02:15:43,800
But anyway, but bottom line is
that More people are living.

2432
02:15:44,600 --> 02:15:49,700
Under freedom and liberty.
In this world than any other

2433
02:15:49,700 --> 02:15:54,600
time in the history of mankind,
mankind, has a tendency to, to

2434
02:15:54,600 --> 02:15:58,500
differentiate and have you have
the elites and you have all the

2435
02:15:58,500 --> 02:15:59,300
Surfs?
Yep.

2436
02:15:59,300 --> 02:16:00,900
And the United States is one of
those.

2437
02:16:00,900 --> 02:16:04,600
The, the Constitution United
States is what created a middle

2438
02:16:04,600 --> 02:16:05,700
class.
Yep.

2439
02:16:05,700 --> 02:16:08,700
There was really, no middle
class before you had those who

2440
02:16:08,700 --> 02:16:13,900
were in power and those who are
being powered over, And at the

2441
02:16:13,907 --> 02:16:17,400
middle class of the United
States has more power than any

2442
02:16:17,400 --> 02:16:19,200
other.
You know, any other people in

2443
02:16:19,200 --> 02:16:20,700
the history which is what makes
the United States.

2444
02:16:20,700 --> 02:16:24,700
People happier and in general,
are people who live under

2445
02:16:24,700 --> 02:16:29,500
democracy or live, at least
under self-rule is the, is the

2446
02:16:29,500 --> 02:16:32,500
key in the United States is the
one that basically established

2447
02:16:32,500 --> 02:16:35,100
that, you know, that that wasn't
happening in England and France

2448
02:16:35,100 --> 02:16:39,000
and write Portugal, and Spain,
and so forth and they were all

2449
02:16:39,000 --> 02:16:41,100
ruled by Kings.
Yep.

2450
02:16:41,100 --> 02:16:44,100
And it was the United States,
the basically caused this to

2451
02:16:44,100 --> 02:16:45,400
happen and change the entire
world.

2452
02:16:45,400 --> 02:16:47,799
You take a look at slavery.
I mean basically the United

2453
02:16:47,807 --> 02:16:50,500
States had less slaves and
almost anywhere else but

2454
02:16:50,500 --> 02:16:53,600
percentage wise and we were the
first ones to abolish it.

2455
02:16:53,600 --> 02:16:56,400
We were at the very first ones
were but we were the ones that

2456
02:16:56,400 --> 02:16:58,600
actually abolished it and then
they said we're not doing

2457
02:16:58,600 --> 02:17:01,799
business with any other country
who has slaves, he was kind of

2458
02:17:01,807 --> 02:17:04,100
force the slave trade to
basically, go away.

2459
02:17:04,100 --> 02:17:07,299
Yeah you take a look at the
gospel going out to the world,

2460
02:17:07,299 --> 02:17:09,700
you know.
And and where is you know,

2461
02:17:09,700 --> 02:17:13,200
Christianity being being moved
forward in the world.

2462
02:17:13,400 --> 02:17:16,799
And the United States, say the
huge part in that, you know,

2463
02:17:16,807 --> 02:17:19,700
we've we've been responsible for
putting down more deaths but

2464
02:17:19,700 --> 02:17:25,900
like Hitler and and other, you
know, other people who brutally,

2465
02:17:25,900 --> 02:17:29,000
you know, go after their people
and kill him and so forth.

2466
02:17:29,000 --> 02:17:32,900
And we have had to come in there
and to, you know, to try to fix

2467
02:17:32,900 --> 02:17:34,700
that.
We've been perfect course not

2468
02:17:35,600 --> 02:17:39,299
But but as an overall good, I
would say, we're probably about

2469
02:17:39,299 --> 02:17:43,500
80% positive and 20% negative
today, on the other hand,

2470
02:17:43,500 --> 02:17:45,799
though, we have the United
States is that the leading

2471
02:17:45,799 --> 02:17:49,500
producer of porn for example,
where the ones that are pushing

2472
02:17:49,500 --> 02:17:52,700
the whole, you know, what is a
woman agenda?

2473
02:17:52,700 --> 02:17:55,900
Okay, yep.
I mean you go to any other

2474
02:17:55,900 --> 02:17:58,200
country asking what's a Woman
They pointed.

2475
02:17:58,200 --> 02:18:02,200
Well she's a woman right here.
Yeah, it stays kind of like

2476
02:18:02,200 --> 02:18:05,400
we've we've completely lost our
Moorings.

2477
02:18:06,799 --> 02:18:09,900
Yeah, yeah. 100%.
Could you?

2478
02:18:12,500 --> 02:18:15,799
Well, we're not gonna get it
into other good stuff here.

2479
02:18:15,799 --> 02:18:21,600
David, we don't keep moving on
here, but we've been, I had

2480
02:18:21,600 --> 02:18:27,700
notice what time it is but yeah,
we've been working a half hours

2481
02:18:27,700 --> 02:18:28,700
already.
Okay.

2482
02:18:28,700 --> 02:18:31,100
You do you want to come back at
a later time?

2483
02:18:31,100 --> 02:18:34,000
I know you're busy know.
I can do this but we're just

2484
02:18:34,000 --> 02:18:36,500
let's do it.
But we're gonna be all day long

2485
02:18:36,500 --> 02:18:38,299
if we don't.
Yep.

2486
02:18:38,299 --> 02:18:41,200
What.
Yep, I just have to keep just

2487
02:18:41,200 --> 02:18:42,900
keep going on anyway.
But yeah.

2488
02:18:42,900 --> 02:18:45,700
So that this is just showing the
Phoenicians Expedition and the

2489
02:18:45,700 --> 02:18:47,799
rest of the thing went we got
tons of information.

2490
02:18:47,799 --> 02:18:51,900
Our website about that, they
potential arrival.

2491
02:18:51,900 --> 02:18:53,799
So forth.
We have this is the talking

2492
02:18:53,799 --> 02:18:56,400
about the Tower Hill.
Adam on the island.

2493
02:18:56,400 --> 02:18:58,500
Has a knee fight altar there.
Pretty good.

2494
02:18:58,500 --> 02:19:00,400
Bet there's any fights there.
What other Smith know about

2495
02:19:00,400 --> 02:19:03,700
Carmen geography?
Ah this has got some great stuff

2496
02:19:03,700 --> 02:19:06,900
that Wentworth letter.
By the way the Wentworth letter

2497
02:19:06,900 --> 02:19:11,400
that was actually canonized as
we know and in that Joseph he

2498
02:19:11,400 --> 02:19:14,400
wrote he was informed concerning
the Aboriginal inhabitants of

2499
02:19:14,400 --> 02:19:18,200
this country.
What country is Joseph Smith?

2500
02:19:18,200 --> 02:19:20,799
Talking about here, America
country is he in?

2501
02:19:20,799 --> 02:19:25,400
Yeah, you the United States.
Yeah, it says he was showing who

2502
02:19:25,400 --> 02:19:28,299
they were, where they came from,
a brief sketch of their origin,

2503
02:19:28,299 --> 02:19:30,200
their progress, their
civilization, their laws, and

2504
02:19:30,200 --> 02:19:32,299
their governments, and all
happened on this continent.

2505
02:19:32,299 --> 02:19:36,100
And they says that the remnant
of the, of the Book of Mormon,

2506
02:19:36,900 --> 02:19:39,600
Are the Indians that now
inhabit, this country.

2507
02:19:40,900 --> 02:19:43,100
He says this book tells us our
Saviour made as a principle upon

2508
02:19:43,100 --> 02:19:47,500
this continent, okay?
So the end of that now have this

2509
02:19:47,500 --> 02:19:50,700
country so that's, that's one
revelatory account.

2510
02:19:50,700 --> 02:19:52,900
Okay?
Because he because this is where

2511
02:19:52,900 --> 02:19:54,500
he said, he received it by
Revelation.

2512
02:19:54,500 --> 02:19:58,800
This is the American revivalists
County. 1833 just Smith.

2513
02:19:58,800 --> 02:20:01,800
The senator off to the American
revivalists and Rochester

2514
02:20:01,800 --> 02:20:04,900
Observer newspaper.
Here in Rochester, New York.

2515
02:20:04,900 --> 02:20:09,900
And and it he sent them this
thing.

2516
02:20:09,900 --> 02:20:14,000
They his statement and then they
published it.

2517
02:20:14,000 --> 02:20:17,900
But they edited way down to kind
of paired it down to just a few

2518
02:20:17,900 --> 02:20:20,600
statement feet, a few
paragraphs, a few, a few

2519
02:20:20,600 --> 02:20:23,800
sentences, I should say.
And when Joseph Smith, got word

2520
02:20:23,800 --> 02:20:27,200
of the fact that they had paired
it down he rewrote them another

2521
02:20:27,200 --> 02:20:29,200
letter.
In this letter, he says that

2522
02:20:29,200 --> 02:20:31,900
this letter was written by
commandment from God.

2523
02:20:32,800 --> 02:20:36,100
They should they should probably
shut in.

2524
02:20:37,400 --> 02:20:41,600
In its entirety into the thing
and amazingly, they editors of

2525
02:20:41,600 --> 02:20:44,200
the, of the American revivalist,
Russian Rochester Observer

2526
02:20:44,200 --> 02:20:46,000
actually did that they actually
published the whole thing

2527
02:20:46,000 --> 02:20:47,600
intact.
And this is what.

2528
02:20:47,600 --> 02:20:50,600
So this Smith said was written
by commandment from God.

2529
02:20:50,600 --> 02:20:53,700
He says, the Book of Mormon is a
record of the forefathers of

2530
02:20:53,700 --> 02:20:57,000
our, Western tribes of Indians,
Hmm.

2531
02:20:58,200 --> 02:21:00,000
Whoa.
Hold on, wait a minute, right

2532
02:21:00,000 --> 02:21:03,600
types of Indians.
He's in New York at the time,

2533
02:21:03,600 --> 02:21:05,300
right?
This is the Rochester Observer.

2534
02:21:05,300 --> 02:21:10,100
He's talking about it.
We learned that our Western

2535
02:21:10,100 --> 02:21:12,800
tribes of Indians are
descendants from that Joseph,

2536
02:21:12,800 --> 02:21:15,700
that was sold into Egypt and
that the land of America is a

2537
02:21:15,700 --> 02:21:18,000
Promised Land unto them.
Interesting.

2538
02:21:18,000 --> 02:21:22,000
I know he used to determine
America not the Americas but

2539
02:21:22,000 --> 02:21:25,100
America Okay, we're gonna talk
about that just a couple minutes

2540
02:21:25,100 --> 02:21:28,000
here.
Okay, but basically let me ask

2541
02:21:28,000 --> 02:21:30,400
you a question, if you're in New
York, and it's the Western

2542
02:21:30,400 --> 02:21:33,600
tribes of Indians.
How far, how far do you have to

2543
02:21:33,600 --> 02:21:36,000
go west to get to Central
America?

2544
02:21:37,900 --> 02:21:40,300
How far west he?
Yeah, it doesn't make sense.

2545
02:21:40,300 --> 02:21:43,900
I'm a survey in that doesn't.
Yeah, you gotta go stop.

2546
02:21:45,600 --> 02:21:49,700
So either jealous Smith was
wrong or he's talking about

2547
02:21:49,700 --> 02:21:51,600
tribes that were to the west of
New York.

2548
02:21:51,600 --> 02:21:54,400
Basically Ohio Missouri you know
that.

2549
02:21:54,400 --> 02:21:58,700
Okay.
That brings us to the journey of

2550
02:21:58,700 --> 02:22:00,800
science.
Can't this science camp started

2551
02:22:00,800 --> 02:22:05,500
over there in Ohio.
Basically can see that the

2552
02:22:05,500 --> 02:22:08,600
general area there but just the
south of Lake Erie and they

2553
02:22:08,600 --> 02:22:11,800
traveled across Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, and into Missouri.

2554
02:22:12,600 --> 02:22:15,800
It was 1,000 thousand miles
approximately and they did that

2555
02:22:15,800 --> 02:22:18,400
in about two months about 60
days.

2556
02:22:18,400 --> 02:22:24,200
So this is science, camp March.
From May 6th to July 3rd of 1834

2557
02:22:24,200 --> 02:22:26,600
about a thousand miles that he
did.

2558
02:22:26,608 --> 02:22:30,800
Now, when they now, many of you
are, probably probably most of

2559
02:22:30,800 --> 02:22:46,900
your people know about
Right.

2560
02:22:46,900 --> 02:22:50,500
So this is this is a number
another Revelation where Joseph

2561
02:22:50,500 --> 02:22:53,100
Smith talks about the Hill Court
Eastern Sea in the Rocky

2562
02:22:53,100 --> 02:22:55,900
Mountains and the guy was killed
in the final battles between the

2563
02:22:55,900 --> 02:22:57,600
landlords, and it's there in
Illinois.

2564
02:22:58,700 --> 02:23:02,500
This is the, this is the mound
itself and an amazingly, the

2565
02:23:02,500 --> 02:23:06,200
archeology actually verifies the
fact because it has in the

2566
02:23:06,200 --> 02:23:09,600
mound, we're back found
artifacts that they needed to

2567
02:23:09,608 --> 02:23:11,700
book a room in time frames
through the Hopewell billers.

2568
02:23:11,700 --> 02:23:13,800
These are Hopewell artifacts.
Yeah.

2569
02:23:13,800 --> 02:23:17,400
And they date from about 2:50
plus or minus 100 years so

2570
02:23:17,400 --> 02:23:22,800
between 250 and 350 ad is when
these these things, you know,

2571
02:23:22,808 --> 02:23:26,200
date into that time frame.
And of course that's that's when

2572
02:23:26,200 --> 02:23:28,400
the final battles were happening
between the laminates and the

2573
02:23:28,400 --> 02:23:31,000
Nephites, I'm sure he was just a
good guesser was.

2574
02:23:31,000 --> 02:23:32,900
All right.
I was pretty amazing guests.

2575
02:23:32,900 --> 02:23:36,500
Yeah it was and then two days
later.

2576
02:23:37,400 --> 02:23:42,000
Um, that that experience was so
profound to the Prophet, Joseph

2577
02:23:42,000 --> 02:23:44,000
Smith that he's sitting on the
banks of the Mississippi River.

2578
02:23:44,000 --> 02:23:48,500
Now, over closer to Nauvoo area
and then and he writes this

2579
02:23:48,500 --> 02:23:52,000
letter to his wife, Emma, his
handwritten letter, that was

2580
02:23:52,000 --> 02:23:54,700
actually capped by The Community
of Christ.

2581
02:23:54,700 --> 02:23:58,000
The rlbs church in The Community
of Christ have this letter

2582
02:23:58,000 --> 02:24:00,400
intact and extent, they still
have it.

2583
02:24:01,200 --> 02:24:04,100
And in this letter, he says the
whole of our journey to miss

2584
02:24:04,100 --> 02:24:05,300
this.
So hard to confidence, social

2585
02:24:05,300 --> 02:24:08,900
honest and sincere man. says,
we're wandering Over The Plains

2586
02:24:08,900 --> 02:24:12,100
of the Nephites, oh, Well, holy
cow.

2587
02:24:12,100 --> 02:24:15,000
Yep.
They were just in Illinois and

2588
02:24:15,000 --> 02:24:16,600
they're wanting over the plains
of the knee fights.

2589
02:24:16,600 --> 02:24:19,100
He says they're recounting
occasionally the history, The

2590
02:24:19,100 --> 02:24:23,200
Book of Mormon roving over the
Mounds of that once beloved

2591
02:24:23,200 --> 02:24:26,700
people of the Lord.
So Joseph Smith is is

2592
02:24:26,700 --> 02:24:30,600
correlating the Mounds that
they're seeing, they're in the

2593
02:24:30,608 --> 02:24:34,500
midwest, in the United States.
With the Beloved people of the

2594
02:24:34,500 --> 02:24:36,700
lord, of the Book of Mormon, the
history of the book and worm.

2595
02:24:36,700 --> 02:24:39,900
And yeah, specifically, these
males have to do with them.

2596
02:24:39,900 --> 02:24:42,600
It says, and we're picking up
their skulls and their bones as

2597
02:24:42,600 --> 02:24:47,200
proof of his Divine authenticity
about to ask people, sit That's

2598
02:24:47,200 --> 02:24:49,400
people.
So yeah Justice Smith, he

2599
02:24:49,400 --> 02:24:51,100
translated the plates and so
forth.

2600
02:24:51,100 --> 02:24:53,700
So I must have had a pretty
strong testimony of the book

2601
02:24:53,700 --> 02:24:56,200
Department.
Absolutely, I was he looking for

2602
02:24:56,200 --> 02:24:58,900
evidence, right?
Right.

2603
02:24:58,900 --> 02:25:02,400
Yeah.
Yeah, he says, he says, it's

2604
02:25:02,400 --> 02:25:06,700
proof, proof evidence of this
Divine authenticity, the skull

2605
02:25:06,700 --> 02:25:09,000
of the skull, and the bones of
self.

2606
02:25:09,000 --> 02:25:12,600
He says, was proof of The Book
of Mormons authenticity.

2607
02:25:13,600 --> 02:25:15,500
Right?
And when the when the

2608
02:25:15,500 --> 02:25:19,300
dispensation had talks, you
might want to listen, right?

2609
02:25:19,300 --> 02:25:24,300
Like like he carries some
weight, Yeah, yeah, so this is

2610
02:25:24,300 --> 02:25:25,700
on.
So this is actually, this is

2611
02:25:25,700 --> 02:25:27,600
from Letter book.
Number two, I think of Joseph

2612
02:25:27,600 --> 02:25:30,200
Smith.
So this isn't the actual letter.

2613
02:25:30,200 --> 02:25:33,900
But but so this man had the
original letter that he did to

2614
02:25:33,900 --> 02:25:36,300
his wife Emma.
While I said on the banks, the

2615
02:25:36,308 --> 02:25:40,800
Mississippi River, he had a to
his, his, his letter book.

2616
02:25:40,800 --> 02:25:44,800
So it says, on the bank of
Mississippi, June, 4th, 1834 my

2617
02:25:44,800 --> 02:25:47,700
dear companion.
He's right next to Emma, right?

2618
02:25:47,700 --> 02:25:51,800
If you get down to the bottom of
the page, okay, down here at the

2619
02:25:51,808 --> 02:25:54,400
bottom, you can see this point
right here, right?

2620
02:25:54,400 --> 02:25:57,000
There says, the whole of our
journey, the missiles to company

2621
02:25:57,000 --> 02:26:00,600
of Social and sincere, man.
This is talking about his

2622
02:26:00,600 --> 02:26:04,200
experience just a couple of days
earlier with zelph, right?

2623
02:26:04,200 --> 02:26:06,700
This is the next page.
And this is actually, you know,

2624
02:26:06,700 --> 02:26:09,300
it's got other signature at the
bottom here.

2625
02:26:09,300 --> 02:26:12,800
This is occasionally
occasionally history, The Book

2626
02:26:12,800 --> 02:26:14,500
of Mormon, rowing over the
mountains of, that one's

2627
02:26:14,500 --> 02:26:16,900
beloved, people of Lourdes, pick
up the skulls and bones is proof

2628
02:26:16,900 --> 02:26:22,600
of his Divine, notary Okay, so
this is this is pretty hard

2629
02:26:22,600 --> 02:26:24,900
evidence.
This is not somebody else saying

2630
02:26:24,900 --> 02:26:27,000
that Joseph Smith said this,
this is Joseph Smith having it

2631
02:26:27,000 --> 02:26:29,600
written into his letter Book?
Absolutely.

2632
02:26:29,600 --> 02:26:33,300
So, that's so, now, when they're
on Zion's Camp, March amazingly

2633
02:26:33,300 --> 02:26:35,600
enough, if you take this map,
this is from Mound.

2634
02:26:35,600 --> 02:26:37,900
Builders of ancient America by
Robert silverberg.

2635
02:26:37,900 --> 02:26:40,500
He's talking about three major
credit.

2636
02:26:40,500 --> 02:26:43,400
You know, ancient civilizations
here in this part of the

2637
02:26:43,400 --> 02:26:48,400
country, they had poverty point,
which is in the Southeastern or

2638
02:26:48,400 --> 02:26:51,600
South, the southern part of the
United States down by Louisiana.

2639
02:26:51,600 --> 02:26:55,800
We have the Edina civilization
that they say ranges between

2640
02:26:55,800 --> 02:27:01,100
about 500 to 100 BC that's up in
the upper part of like New York

2641
02:27:01,100 --> 02:27:05,100
and Illinois and Ohio and so
forth that area.

2642
02:27:06,100 --> 02:27:09,900
Then you have the civilization
which according to these guys

2643
02:27:09,900 --> 02:27:15,100
are showing from about 100 BC to
400 add in the vertical, stripe

2644
02:27:15,100 --> 02:27:17,900
lines.
So you can see that's basically

2645
02:27:17,900 --> 02:27:20,600
Illinois and Ohio and over into
Missouri and so forth.

2646
02:27:20,600 --> 02:27:24,100
Right, but look at the time
frame are you thinking poverty

2647
02:27:24,100 --> 02:27:26,900
point is the place of first
Contact for Lehigh.

2648
02:27:28,300 --> 02:27:32,300
Um, no, I think that's probably
more than what this is.

2649
02:27:32,300 --> 02:27:34,300
This is from a quite an old
book.

2650
02:27:34,300 --> 02:27:38,200
This is actually changed quite a
bit over the last about 15 or 20

2651
02:27:38,200 --> 02:27:39,400
years.
So, this is back written about

2652
02:27:39,408 --> 02:27:42,400
40 years ago, Mound bill is
ancient America, this is, but

2653
02:27:42,400 --> 02:27:44,300
this is kind of showing what
they thought at that point in

2654
02:27:44,300 --> 02:27:46,700
time.
And the Adena basically what

2655
02:27:46,700 --> 02:27:50,900
we're seeing, the Adena are, the
are the jaredites civilization,

2656
02:27:50,900 --> 02:27:54,100
the Hopewell of the nephite
civilization, which is kind of

2657
02:27:54,100 --> 02:27:58,100
funny, because in Central
America, The the primary

2658
02:27:58,100 --> 02:28:01,800
civilization that was down there
at that point was the Mayan and

2659
02:28:01,800 --> 02:28:05,800
we have Scholars.
You know, bookmarks saying that,

2660
02:28:05,800 --> 02:28:09,400
you know, the, the Mayans were
not the Nephites and the

2661
02:28:09,400 --> 02:28:11,800
Nephites were not the Mayans,
but then he fights just lived

2662
02:28:11,800 --> 02:28:18,400
among the Mayans.
It's like they can't really say

2663
02:28:18,400 --> 02:28:21,200
that the Mayans with the
Nephites and then they know that

2664
02:28:21,200 --> 02:28:23,900
that would be the death nail of
the whole Mason America thing

2665
02:28:23,900 --> 02:28:27,400
anyway, because if the Mayans
were the Nephites, the Mayans

2666
02:28:27,400 --> 02:28:30,700
were the ones that were doing,
you know, human sacrifices and

2667
02:28:30,700 --> 02:28:34,100
all kinds of stuff.
You know, down there, that's the

2668
02:28:34,100 --> 02:28:36,700
Nephites they were the
degenerative.

2669
02:28:37,400 --> 02:28:40,600
And the generous are not usually
the ones that build huge

2670
02:28:40,600 --> 02:28:43,100
structures.
I mean, you know, we can go into

2671
02:28:43,100 --> 02:28:46,000
more detail about that.
But but basically, so that the

2672
02:28:46,000 --> 02:28:48,300
reason why I bring this map up
because if you put this map then

2673
02:28:48,300 --> 02:28:51,400
on Over the top of the science
camp, March.

2674
02:28:52,200 --> 02:28:55,400
It goes right over the plains of
the Nephites.

2675
02:28:55,400 --> 02:28:58,300
Mm-hmm.
Ye holy cow.

2676
02:28:59,100 --> 02:29:02,800
Yep, goes right over the top.
They're going right through the

2677
02:29:02,800 --> 02:29:08,300
center of their lands of the of
the Hopewell melted be wow.

2678
02:29:08,300 --> 02:29:11,100
So when he says we're picking up
their skulls and bones of the

2679
02:29:11,100 --> 02:29:15,800
Divine authenticity Illinois,
Illinois is the center of this

2680
02:29:15,800 --> 02:29:18,000
map, right?
Yep.

2681
02:29:18,000 --> 02:29:21,800
So then we go into the DNA stuff
and again that going into any

2682
02:29:21,800 --> 02:29:25,200
detail on that, but basically,
the idea is essentially that

2683
02:29:25,200 --> 02:29:28,500
have a groups ABC and D are
Asiana.

2684
02:29:28,500 --> 02:29:30,700
Have a good X.
Is the only one.

2685
02:29:30,700 --> 02:29:34,600
That's not an Asian based
lineage and that we find it in

2686
02:29:34,600 --> 02:29:37,900
the Algonquin, speaking language
groups of Native American

2687
02:29:37,900 --> 02:29:41,400
Indians over, 110 tribes,
including the sack in the fox,

2688
02:29:41,400 --> 02:29:44,100
they'll give ways and so forth.
His Cheyenne, the Blackfoot out

2689
02:29:44,100 --> 02:29:49,400
here in the west Kickapoo these,
you know, the shawnee's.

2690
02:29:50,200 --> 02:29:51,600
So forth.
These are all part of the

2691
02:29:51,600 --> 02:29:53,900
Algonquin.
Speaking language groups of

2692
02:29:53,900 --> 02:29:57,400
North American Indians, And just
so happens that they are the

2693
02:29:57,400 --> 02:29:59,400
ones that have the help of your
back's DNA type.

2694
02:30:00,500 --> 02:30:04,000
Here, every Jewish population on
the planet from, in the in this,

2695
02:30:04,000 --> 02:30:07,700
you know, the Sephardic Jews,
the Libyan Jews, the Moroccan

2696
02:30:07,700 --> 02:30:11,800
Jews, the, the Ashkenazi Jews.
They're all, they all have the

2697
02:30:11,800 --> 02:30:16,000
same five markers in their DNA.
And so this is that, this is

2698
02:30:16,000 --> 02:30:18,100
from science, talking about how
that's been confirmed in

2699
02:30:18,100 --> 02:30:22,500
Finland, Italy, and Israel, by
the Etruscan civilization in

2700
02:30:22,500 --> 02:30:25,700
Italy, that's part of the people
who were displaced from Israel

2701
02:30:25,700 --> 02:30:28,800
went over there in established a
trust in communities over there.

2702
02:30:28,800 --> 02:30:32,900
Okay.
Israelites, I'm not sure what

2703
02:30:32,900 --> 02:30:36,300
the deal was up in the Finland,
but that's but that's that,

2704
02:30:36,300 --> 02:30:38,800
there's some interesting
possibilities there, maybe

2705
02:30:38,800 --> 02:30:41,200
having to do with hey goth,
which we don't have time to go

2706
02:30:41,200 --> 02:30:44,800
into all that detail.
Basically, this American Girl of

2707
02:30:44,800 --> 02:30:49,500
human genetics in 2003, they
talked about two subgroups of

2708
02:30:49,508 --> 02:30:54,300
the group backs, one and X2 and
X1 is confined almost entirely

2709
02:30:54,300 --> 02:30:59,300
to Africa.
But X2 is amazingly in the, the

2710
02:30:59,300 --> 02:31:05,300
near East, basically, Israel and
here in the US, interesting.

2711
02:31:05,300 --> 02:31:09,700
Now this is the this is the
fourth, the fourth revelatory

2712
02:31:09,700 --> 02:31:11,100
thing.
That Joseph Smith talks about

2713
02:31:11,100 --> 02:31:14,400
involving Book of Mormon,
geography, that we believe is,

2714
02:31:14,400 --> 02:31:19,500
is revealed that tells us where
exactly, this doesn't tell us

2715
02:31:19,500 --> 02:31:22,500
exactly, but it tells us gives
us a hard Clues as to, where

2716
02:31:22,500 --> 02:31:26,400
this Ultimate Place.
When in September 1830, Joseph

2717
02:31:26,400 --> 02:31:31,500
Smith received Revelations,
which is now sections, 28, 30,

2718
02:31:31,500 --> 02:31:33,100
and 32 in the Doctrine and
Covenants.

2719
02:31:34,300 --> 02:31:38,500
And which he commanded the Lord
managed Joseph Smith to send

2720
02:31:38,500 --> 02:31:39,400
missionaries end to the
lamanites.

2721
02:31:40,100 --> 02:31:42,300
So, I asked people all the time.
I said, how many of you believe

2722
02:31:42,300 --> 02:31:45,400
that the Lord knows who the
laminates are and where they're

2723
02:31:45,400 --> 02:31:47,500
located, right?
Well, he knows everything.

2724
02:31:47,500 --> 02:31:50,700
So that's, that's a given.
Yeah, so Lord's.

2725
02:31:50,700 --> 02:31:52,600
Not gonna put this into layman's
terms, okay?

2726
02:31:52,600 --> 02:31:58,100
And let me knows as well.
Let me so this is gonna be so

2727
02:31:58,100 --> 02:32:01,100
clear, does not be wholly ass
and you all over countries.

2728
02:32:01,100 --> 02:32:05,100
You're gonna go and and go into
the lamanites, the term Layman.

2729
02:32:05,100 --> 02:32:08,900
I some people argue well maybe
that's just the term that they

2730
02:32:08,900 --> 02:32:11,100
were just using blah blah blah
you know for Indians

2731
02:32:11,100 --> 02:32:15,500
interchangeably back then toast.
This day this isn't Joseph Smith

2732
02:32:15,500 --> 02:32:18,300
speaking here.
This is the Lord speaking here,

2733
02:32:18,300 --> 02:32:20,100
right?
I think the Lord understands the

2734
02:32:20,100 --> 02:32:22,000
difference between lame and
nights and Native American

2735
02:32:22,000 --> 02:32:24,200
people or whatever.
If there's a difference, I think

2736
02:32:24,200 --> 02:32:26,000
you let us know.
Yep.

2737
02:32:26,000 --> 02:32:29,900
Anyway, so we have Oliver,
cowdery section, 30 says, you

2738
02:32:29,900 --> 02:32:31,500
know, Peter Virginia.
You're going to go with all the

2739
02:32:31,508 --> 02:32:35,700
recovery and go to build up the
church among the lamanites.

2740
02:32:35,700 --> 02:32:39,100
This Texan 30 said partly be
proud.

2741
02:32:39,100 --> 02:32:41,300
You're also going to go with my
servants Peter and Oliver

2742
02:32:41,300 --> 02:32:43,600
Academy among the lamanites.
Now you have to understand that

2743
02:32:43,600 --> 02:32:46,300
Joseph Smith is just barely
getting the very first copies of

2744
02:32:46,308 --> 02:32:51,700
the brand new printed Book of
Mormon the 1830 original

2745
02:32:51,700 --> 02:32:54,100
version.
He's actually just getting this.

2746
02:32:54,100 --> 02:32:55,500
This is a October of 1830,
right?

2747
02:32:55,500 --> 02:32:57,900
Right.
He's getting their very first

2748
02:32:57,900 --> 02:33:01,500
copies off the Grand and press
and he's sending these, the

2749
02:33:01,500 --> 02:33:05,000
lord, it's not just missing it,
it's the Lord sending these

2750
02:33:05,000 --> 02:33:09,700
missionaries out, right?
The very first copies, and where

2751
02:33:09,700 --> 02:33:12,300
do they go?
Among the late nights.

2752
02:33:13,000 --> 02:33:14,800
Now, there's a fourth person.
There's actually, there's

2753
02:33:14,800 --> 02:33:17,900
actually five people who were
going to be going on this trip.

2754
02:33:18,700 --> 02:33:22,500
And this is section 32 in the
doctrine says, ziba Peterson.

2755
02:33:22,500 --> 02:33:27,100
Also, so go with them.
And then, so that's the four

2756
02:33:27,100 --> 02:33:30,700
over countering Peter, Virginia,
harley-david, Pratt and ziba

2757
02:33:30,700 --> 02:33:32,000
Peterson.
That's four, right?

2758
02:33:32,000 --> 02:33:39,400
So, who is the fifth person?
The Lord says, I myself will go

2759
02:33:39,400 --> 02:33:42,900
with them in misses.
I am their Advocate with the

2760
02:33:42,900 --> 02:33:44,700
father and nothing shall Prevail
against them.

2761
02:33:45,300 --> 02:33:49,900
So Christ himself is basically
saying I'm this is a personal

2762
02:33:49,900 --> 02:33:55,600
guided tour by me. to people
that I call ammonites in all of

2763
02:33:55,600 --> 02:34:00,100
these Revelations, Wow.
So that got my interest.

2764
02:34:00,100 --> 02:34:02,600
Yeah.
Yeah.

2765
02:34:02,600 --> 02:34:04,200
Absolutely.
Where did they go?

2766
02:34:05,400 --> 02:34:06,500
Who do they go?
See?

2767
02:34:08,200 --> 02:34:11,600
right, because I can I can I can
promise you if this was a

2768
02:34:11,600 --> 02:34:14,600
revelation from the Lord to Dosa
Smith and the Lord says that

2769
02:34:14,600 --> 02:34:17,800
he's going to go with them and
he's in an all of them, he keeps

2770
02:34:17,800 --> 02:34:22,300
saying the lamanites Then I
think that when they go to see

2771
02:34:22,300 --> 02:34:24,800
these people, they're gonna take
them to the limits.

2772
02:34:24,800 --> 02:34:28,900
Yep.
And if that's the case where did

2773
02:34:28,900 --> 02:34:30,500
they go?
And so that's why I wanted to

2774
02:34:30,508 --> 02:34:33,500
find out turns out the pilot
wrote about this in his journals

2775
02:34:33,500 --> 02:34:35,600
later on.
It was in his autobiography.

2776
02:34:35,600 --> 02:34:40,000
So he so within both they says
this is his first autobiography

2777
02:34:40,000 --> 02:34:43,600
says that's ended our first.
Indian mission in which we

2778
02:34:43,600 --> 02:34:46,000
preach the gospel and its
fullness and distributed the

2779
02:34:46,000 --> 02:34:49,100
record of their forefathers
among three trees that is the

2780
02:34:49,100 --> 02:34:52,200
category, Indians near Buffalo
New York.

2781
02:34:52,900 --> 02:34:56,200
Why not Ohio Delaware's west of
Missouri?

2782
02:34:57,200 --> 02:35:00,900
Interesting.
Now, I find my friend is fast,

2783
02:35:00,900 --> 02:35:08,100
is from the DNA standpoint.
These these tribes are are all

2784
02:35:08,100 --> 02:35:11,400
Northeastern trees, right?
They're basically Algonquin

2785
02:35:11,400 --> 02:35:13,300
speaking language group tribes
here, okay?

2786
02:35:14,900 --> 02:35:18,100
And amazingly, they just happen
to be the tribes that have the

2787
02:35:18,100 --> 02:35:20,200
DNA that linked in every Jewish
population on the planet.

2788
02:35:21,200 --> 02:35:24,000
Wow.
Who?

2789
02:35:24,000 --> 02:35:27,700
So that's interesting.
How does Smith know that?

2790
02:35:27,700 --> 02:35:30,100
Just lucky guess?
Apparently, that's a good

2791
02:35:30,108 --> 02:35:32,900
guesser.
Or maybe he had a team of

2792
02:35:32,908 --> 02:35:35,400
geneticists that he referred to,
you know, that he kind of

2793
02:35:35,408 --> 02:35:39,300
consulted with before I sent
them to go see these tribes to

2794
02:35:39,300 --> 02:35:41,100
make sure that they actually
tried to have the harp

2795
02:35:41,100 --> 02:35:44,600
applications, DNA type the links
and all the Jewish population is

2796
02:35:44,600 --> 02:35:46,700
around the world.
Yeah, yeah, there's that.

2797
02:35:46,700 --> 02:35:51,500
Yeah, he's DNA was in the 1800s
and Frontier America.

2798
02:35:51,500 --> 02:35:54,000
They were secrets that right
there in New York, you know,

2799
02:35:54,008 --> 02:35:58,700
right?
Joseph and lab um yeah.

2800
02:35:59,700 --> 02:36:03,300
And even even today though, this
is National Geographic.

2801
02:36:03,300 --> 02:36:06,200
Great surprise, Native Americans
have West Eurasian Origins.

2802
02:36:07,300 --> 02:36:10,600
And the, this is from the
National Geographic Daily News.

2803
02:36:10,600 --> 02:36:14,000
This is back in 2013.
So we've known this for a long

2804
02:36:14,000 --> 02:36:16,500
time.
Now, over 10 years, we've known

2805
02:36:16,500 --> 02:36:19,900
that nearly 1/3 of Native
American jeans come from West

2806
02:36:19,900 --> 02:36:24,200
Eurasian people, whereas West
Eurasia, That would be the

2807
02:36:24,200 --> 02:36:25,800
Middle East, right?
Middle East.

2808
02:36:25,800 --> 02:36:27,300
Yeah, this is, this is Israel,
right?

2809
02:36:27,300 --> 02:36:31,500
Yeah, link to the Middle East
and Europe, rather than entirely

2810
02:36:31,500 --> 02:36:33,100
from the East Asians as
previously.

2811
02:36:33,100 --> 02:36:38,700
Thought, according to this newly
sequence, genome Oh, so a third

2812
02:36:38,708 --> 02:36:41,500
of Native Americans have Middle
Eastern jeans.

2813
02:36:41,500 --> 02:36:46,200
Holy cow.
I would just be known that back

2814
02:36:46,200 --> 02:36:49,600
in the 1800s and then some
people say well, okay, so you

2815
02:36:49,600 --> 02:36:52,500
know you have the times and
Seasons articles and and those

2816
02:36:52,500 --> 02:36:57,600
are, some people said that Joe
Smith Either he wrote them or he

2817
02:36:57,600 --> 02:37:01,300
at least approve them and he
never he never came out and made

2818
02:37:01,300 --> 02:37:04,700
and directly, you know,
countered him so far.

2819
02:37:04,700 --> 02:37:07,800
So I said so Yeah.
Okay.

2820
02:37:07,800 --> 02:37:11,400
So Joe the yeah, we have these
Revelations with the the, you

2821
02:37:11,400 --> 02:37:14,900
know, the American Revival's
account, the self accounts and

2822
02:37:14,900 --> 02:37:18,600
so forth.
All of these Reveals things he

2823
02:37:18,600 --> 02:37:22,100
said, but later on, in his life
show, this myth changes views.

2824
02:37:22,100 --> 02:37:25,900
He he started to understand that
basically made some America was

2825
02:37:25,900 --> 02:37:28,300
the right place.
And so he started changing his

2826
02:37:28,300 --> 02:37:32,700
views from his earlier
Revelation to a more basic

2827
02:37:32,700 --> 02:37:34,600
American side of things and
that's the argument.

2828
02:37:36,300 --> 02:37:39,900
But then I have a good friend of
mine, is it is a historian and

2829
02:37:39,900 --> 02:37:42,600
he basically went through this
and he said that he said, right?

2830
02:37:42,600 --> 02:37:44,700
He says you're going to want to
see this as we just discovered

2831
02:37:44,700 --> 02:37:49,300
this, he says, Joe Smith's diary
entry for Thursday, May the 23rd

2832
02:37:49,300 --> 02:37:51,100
1844.
This is just a month before he

2833
02:37:51,100 --> 02:37:54,100
was killed and I should say he
was not just killed, he was

2834
02:37:54,108 --> 02:37:56,800
assassinated.
Yep, this was an assassination.

2835
02:37:56,800 --> 02:37:59,900
He was running for president of
the United States at the time.

2836
02:37:59,900 --> 02:38:04,000
Yep this is a political hit job
basically says one.

2837
02:38:04,000 --> 02:38:06,800
One p.m. help this living in
Nauvoo.

2838
02:38:07,500 --> 02:38:10,900
But the time so helpful with the
Indians, the second, the fox, in

2839
02:38:10,900 --> 02:38:13,200
my back kitchen, I replied the
great spirit.

2840
02:38:13,200 --> 02:38:16,300
Once you to be United and live
in peace, he says I found a book

2841
02:38:16,300 --> 02:38:19,300
and presented them with a copy
of the book I'm wearing which

2842
02:38:19,300 --> 02:38:23,800
told me about your father's and
the great spirit told me.

2843
02:38:24,600 --> 02:38:28,300
So is so who told them?
The Lord.

2844
02:38:29,100 --> 02:38:30,500
The Lord, the great spirit,
right?

2845
02:38:30,500 --> 02:38:35,000
And he specifically saying this
book that I'm holding here, I'm

2846
02:38:35,000 --> 02:38:38,000
giving to you.
As you know, for you guys.

2847
02:38:38,000 --> 02:38:42,300
You Indians you need an American
people here in here cock.

2848
02:38:42,300 --> 02:38:47,000
Basically they can't they come
over from he says that and here

2849
02:38:47,000 --> 02:38:50,000
we have Joe Smith, basically
saying that this book is about

2850
02:38:50,000 --> 02:38:52,300
your father's.
Right?

2851
02:38:52,300 --> 02:38:55,800
And it was revealed to me.
Right.

2852
02:38:55,800 --> 02:38:59,000
Well, and here's the other
thing, right?

2853
02:38:59,000 --> 02:39:06,700
That, that makes no sense to me.
If Joseph Smith has a a way to

2854
02:39:06,700 --> 02:39:09,100
Revelation that, oh, you know
what, this all took place in

2855
02:39:09,100 --> 02:39:11,200
South America.
Why didn't he turn around send

2856
02:39:11,200 --> 02:39:13,300
missionaries down there?
Right.

2857
02:39:13,300 --> 02:39:17,300
He never he never was like, oh
man, I messed this up and we

2858
02:39:17,300 --> 02:39:21,100
know that the Lord chastises
Joseph in the Doctrine and

2859
02:39:21,100 --> 02:39:23,700
Covenants.
It's one of those Divine things

2860
02:39:23,700 --> 02:39:28,000
where like when someone says
well, he was just a He was just

2861
02:39:28,000 --> 02:39:30,700
a cult leader looking for a
falling.

2862
02:39:30,700 --> 02:39:33,600
Well, guess what happened?
Doesn't happen with cult leaders

2863
02:39:33,600 --> 02:39:37,200
too often the Lord the Lord kind
of hands him their his rear,

2864
02:39:37,200 --> 02:39:39,300
right?
But we see that, right?

2865
02:39:39,300 --> 02:39:43,600
And so the fact that Joseph
never receives a revelation that

2866
02:39:43,600 --> 02:39:46,800
that we know about that says,
hey you got this wrong.

2867
02:39:46,800 --> 02:39:49,700
It's actually South America
where this takes place or

2868
02:39:49,700 --> 02:39:51,200
mesoamerica.
Yes.

2869
02:39:51,200 --> 02:39:53,800
And the try, you got send your
missionaries down there now.

2870
02:39:55,000 --> 02:40:00,300
It it just doesn't hold water.
Well you have you have to make a

2871
02:40:00,300 --> 02:40:03,300
couple assumption if Joseph
Smith did receive a revelation

2872
02:40:03,300 --> 02:40:06,000
to go and take the send
missionaries down to Guatemala

2873
02:40:06,000 --> 02:40:13,200
and he was either a ignoring
God's Revelations to write or B.

2874
02:40:13,200 --> 02:40:15,900
He was just really really
incompetent and never got around

2875
02:40:15,900 --> 02:40:18,900
to it because it was 117 years
later before the first

2876
02:40:18,900 --> 02:40:21,600
missionaries entered the nation
of Guatemala, right?

2877
02:40:21,600 --> 02:40:27,300
Yeah, okay, so either he was
just ignoring God or he was

2878
02:40:27,300 --> 02:40:29,800
just, you know, just didn't get
around to it or whatever.

2879
02:40:29,800 --> 02:40:34,200
But we know that that wasn't
Joseph Smith Scott, that wasn't

2880
02:40:34,200 --> 02:40:36,700
his ml, right?
That's not what he would do.

2881
02:40:37,900 --> 02:40:41,200
So, it makes it makes no sense
that he would had that, that

2882
02:40:41,200 --> 02:40:43,400
Revelation if he would have been
giving the Revelation to send

2883
02:40:43,400 --> 02:40:46,000
Mysteries to Guatemala.
They certainly could have there

2884
02:40:46,000 --> 02:40:48,300
were ships and so forth.
They were they could have done

2885
02:40:48,300 --> 02:40:51,300
that, you know, there was right.
They could have yes people down

2886
02:40:51,300 --> 02:40:53,700
there.
So, but they didn't and then

2887
02:40:53,708 --> 02:40:56,200
that brings us to the next
thing, he'll come over tomorrow.

2888
02:40:56,800 --> 02:40:59,500
Of the Book of Mormon.
This is just.

2889
02:41:00,300 --> 02:41:04,400
Yeah, there's been people trying
to say that there's two, he'll

2890
02:41:04,400 --> 02:41:07,800
come over us and so forth.
In fact, that's one of the one

2891
02:41:07,800 --> 02:41:11,500
of the pre-reg was sets you
there is there is not a single

2892
02:41:11,500 --> 02:41:14,700
mesoamerica setting for the Book
of Mormons been proposed.

2893
02:41:15,900 --> 02:41:21,300
Right, that that can accept the
hill and New York as being the

2894
02:41:21,300 --> 02:41:22,000
hill commercial of the Book of
Mormon.

2895
02:41:22,000 --> 02:41:26,400
They all reject the Hill Cumorah
but yet we have, I'm going to

2896
02:41:26,400 --> 02:41:29,800
give you just a couple quick
examples of profits and so forth

2897
02:41:29,800 --> 02:41:32,700
and apostles who have
specifically talked about the

2898
02:41:32,700 --> 02:41:34,800
Hill Cumorah, New York, as being
The Book of Mormons Hill

2899
02:41:34,800 --> 02:41:38,300
Cumorah.
Now this is interesting so I

2900
02:41:38,308 --> 02:41:43,500
actually was was asked to, I was
doing a book signing actually in

2901
02:41:43,500 --> 02:41:49,500
Palmyra New York a few years ago
and and Mormon came to me.

2902
02:41:50,600 --> 02:41:53,600
The prophet Mormon, you know,
for the book and mermen.

2903
02:41:53,600 --> 02:41:55,800
Mm-hmm.
He came to me in the bookstore.

2904
02:41:55,800 --> 02:41:58,400
He's the guy that plays Mormon
in the right.

2905
02:41:58,400 --> 02:42:04,400
I think that's where you were
going or we were about real

2906
02:42:04,400 --> 02:42:06,500
interesting.
Really interesting.

2907
02:42:06,500 --> 02:42:09,000
Yeah.
But anyway, so he came into the

2908
02:42:09,000 --> 02:42:10,500
bookstore and we were talking
and so forth.

2909
02:42:10,500 --> 02:42:14,200
They said, yes, there was this
guy that came in and that and we

2910
02:42:14,200 --> 02:42:17,000
had all of our there's like six
hundred fifty cast members,

2911
02:42:17,000 --> 02:42:19,600
right?
And and he said, you know, this

2912
02:42:19,600 --> 02:42:22,600
is guy that came in and told all
the cast members he had a

2913
02:42:22,608 --> 02:42:25,600
presentation.
They said this isn't the real

2914
02:42:25,600 --> 02:42:27,300
Hill Cumorah, the real he'll
come.

2915
02:42:27,300 --> 02:42:28,800
Where is down in Central America
someplace?

2916
02:42:28,800 --> 02:42:31,300
We don't know where it is, but
we know that this isn't the one

2917
02:42:32,600 --> 02:42:35,700
And kind of gave him that and I
said really the guy was actually

2918
02:42:35,700 --> 02:42:37,100
telling you that stuff and said,
yeah.

2919
02:42:37,700 --> 02:42:39,600
Yeah, I said, well, did you know
about this?

2920
02:42:39,600 --> 02:42:41,800
Did you know about that?
I told him some things and he

2921
02:42:41,800 --> 02:42:42,600
said, no, I didn't know about
that.

2922
02:42:42,600 --> 02:42:46,100
And I said, well, he said, he
said, man, we need to have you

2923
02:42:46,100 --> 02:42:48,400
coming.
Actually, tell the cast members,

2924
02:42:48,400 --> 02:42:50,500
the facts, and the truth about
this.

2925
02:42:50,500 --> 02:42:53,000
And I said, well, can you set up
an appointment?

2926
02:42:53,000 --> 02:42:55,300
So, they did.
And I actually got to go and

2927
02:42:55,300 --> 02:42:58,900
speak to the 650 cast members at
the hill, from, where a pageant

2928
02:42:58,900 --> 02:42:59,900
that year.
Nice.

2929
02:42:59,900 --> 02:43:03,700
And it was awesome.
And in preparation for that or

2930
02:43:03,700 --> 02:43:06,500
after I did that presentation, I
wasn't really 100%.

2931
02:43:07,100 --> 02:43:09,700
That prepared and afterwards, I
get a presentation about the

2932
02:43:09,700 --> 02:43:13,000
Hill Cumorah and I came up with,
you know, these are the reasons

2933
02:43:13,000 --> 02:43:15,300
why the Hill Cumorah in New York
could not be the Hilton, where

2934
02:43:15,300 --> 02:43:18,200
the Book of Mormon and that's
according to anti-worm, and also

2935
02:43:18,200 --> 02:43:22,300
the mesoamerica theorist, okay?
Because in this particular case,

2936
02:43:22,300 --> 02:43:24,200
they're kind of on the same
team, okay?

2937
02:43:24,200 --> 02:43:27,000
But basically the number one is
the hills, too small, the

2938
02:43:27,000 --> 02:43:29,100
permit, such a massive battle to
take place on that.

2939
02:43:29,100 --> 02:43:32,400
Number two, the hills too small
that do hundreds of thousands of

2940
02:43:32,400 --> 02:43:34,400
dead people on such a massive
Battlefield.

2941
02:43:34,400 --> 02:43:38,700
It's just not that tall.
It really is, it's probably what

2942
02:43:38,700 --> 02:43:42,000
maybe 70 feet taller, 60 feet
tall, right?

2943
02:43:42,000 --> 02:43:46,200
Like that says that number three
there's millions of human bones

2944
02:43:46,200 --> 02:43:51,500
where are they?
You know, how can we find steel

2945
02:43:51,500 --> 02:43:54,200
swords?
If there was no hundreds of

2946
02:43:54,208 --> 02:43:56,400
thousands of people that died
there, you should be able to

2947
02:43:56,400 --> 02:43:57,800
find a steel swords all over the
place.

2948
02:43:57,800 --> 02:43:58,600
Right.
Right.

2949
02:43:58,600 --> 02:44:01,800
And what about the metal armor
like hit play some breastplates

2950
02:44:01,800 --> 02:44:03,000
and so forth.
Whereas all that.

2951
02:44:03,800 --> 02:44:06,200
And then also, and this is not
just the first time, this is

2952
02:44:06,200 --> 02:44:09,300
that actually the second time
because they had the Jared ice

2953
02:44:09,300 --> 02:44:12,700
all diet, the same at the same
location, right?

2954
02:44:12,700 --> 02:44:14,200
But the hill, right.
Right.

2955
02:44:15,100 --> 02:44:17,800
And then all.
So I said that, they talked

2956
02:44:17,800 --> 02:44:20,800
about this room of Records to
the phone all over and other

2957
02:44:20,800 --> 02:44:21,700
people.
Brigham Young.

2958
02:44:21,700 --> 02:44:26,300
They, they talked about this
room of records and a Glacial

2959
02:44:26,300 --> 02:44:29,500
Drumlin, which is what the Hill
Court is is not conducive for

2960
02:44:29,500 --> 02:44:33,100
formation.
And so only a couple times a day

2961
02:44:33,108 --> 02:44:35,600
actually, say it was a cave.
Most of them said it was a room.

2962
02:44:36,700 --> 02:44:38,800
Interesting.
By the way, we won't go into all

2963
02:44:38,800 --> 02:44:40,900
the details on that.
But anyway, so I went in and

2964
02:44:40,900 --> 02:44:42,300
basically addressed all these
different things.

2965
02:44:42,300 --> 02:44:45,400
You know, first off the Hill
Cumorah in Central America,

2966
02:44:45,400 --> 02:44:50,000
these are four that have been
proposed as the possible he'll

2967
02:44:50,000 --> 02:44:51,800
come over us.
Interesting thing is, is that

2968
02:44:51,800 --> 02:44:54,400
none of them are Hills.
Right now.

2969
02:44:57,000 --> 02:45:00,400
Mounds are mentioned in the Book
of Mormon, but the Hill Cumorah,

2970
02:45:00,400 --> 02:45:03,300
it was not called the mountain
come work because it wasn't a

2971
02:45:03,300 --> 02:45:05,600
mountain, right?
Anyway.

2972
02:45:07,100 --> 02:45:09,900
And then people say, well, but
Joseph Smith never talked about,

2973
02:45:09,900 --> 02:45:12,500
this is being the Hill Cumorah
and his time frame.

2974
02:45:12,500 --> 02:45:15,800
He never mentioned or talked
about it, but that's actually

2975
02:45:15,800 --> 02:45:17,900
not true.
Either Doctrine comes with 128

2976
02:45:17,900 --> 02:45:20,300
Ducks about Glad Tidings from
come over.

2977
02:45:21,000 --> 02:45:24,100
And then and then Kimora's
related to Fayette Seneca

2978
02:45:24,100 --> 02:45:26,200
County.
The banks that says Go Hannah,

2979
02:45:26,200 --> 02:45:31,300
you know, the right handy.
Kohl's bill Broome County and so

2980
02:45:31,308 --> 02:45:33,200
forth.
They'll come over as related to

2981
02:45:33,200 --> 02:45:38,200
all of these places in this
verse and I 28.

2982
02:45:38,200 --> 02:45:41,900
And yet somehow, we're supposed
to believe that they don't mean

2983
02:45:41,900 --> 02:45:46,400
Kamara is in New York, right?
Somebody referring to a camera

2984
02:45:46,400 --> 02:45:48,400
down and Central America
someplace.

2985
02:45:50,000 --> 02:45:55,300
You know, it doesn't hold water.
Yeah and then we can go into

2986
02:45:55,300 --> 02:45:58,400
like Joseph Fielding Smith and
so forth and how they talked

2987
02:45:58,400 --> 02:46:00,200
about how this this modernistic
theory.

2988
02:46:00,200 --> 02:46:06,100
He actually wrote In This Book
doctors and salvation says this

2989
02:46:06,100 --> 02:46:10,000
this this this Mesoamerican
modernistic theory of necessity.

2990
02:46:10,000 --> 02:46:12,500
In order to be consistent, must
place, the Waters of Ripley

2991
02:46:12,500 --> 02:46:15,100
income and the hill Morris some
place within the restricted

2992
02:46:15,100 --> 02:46:18,400
territory Central, America,
notwithstanding the teachings of

2993
02:46:18,400 --> 02:46:20,900
the church to the contrary for
upwards of 100 years.

2994
02:46:20,900 --> 02:46:24,000
Now, this is talking about the
Salt Lake Church obviously, but

2995
02:46:24,000 --> 02:46:27,000
the fact about, for, at least
100 years up into Jonah, Smith's

2996
02:46:27,000 --> 02:46:30,600
time frame, the church should
always maintained that the hill

2997
02:46:30,600 --> 02:46:33,900
in New York was the Hill Court.
The Book of Mormon He said

2998
02:46:33,908 --> 02:46:36,300
because of this Maceo American
Theory.

2999
02:46:37,300 --> 02:46:40,600
Members the church to become
confused and greatly Disturbed

3000
02:46:40,600 --> 02:46:41,700
in their face in the Book of
Mormon.

3001
02:46:41,700 --> 02:46:44,300
He says, as though, the hookah
bar where the price, we're

3002
02:46:44,300 --> 02:46:46,100
destroys the hill where the
jaredites were also destroyed.

3003
02:46:47,200 --> 02:46:50,200
This is actually from a first
present season letter, this is a

3004
02:46:50,200 --> 02:46:52,900
secretary, the first president.
See this is f.

3005
02:46:52,900 --> 02:46:57,500
Michael Watson, Bishop Darrell
Brooks from Oklahoma City, South

3006
02:46:57,500 --> 02:47:03,900
State and more Oklahoma wrote
and asked, the, as the first

3007
02:47:03,908 --> 02:47:09,600
presidency about the Hill
Cumorah, And he says the church

3008
02:47:09,600 --> 02:47:12,200
has long maintained as attested
to by references in the writings

3009
02:47:12,200 --> 02:47:14,500
of general authorities.
The Hill Cumorah in Western New

3010
02:47:14,500 --> 02:47:17,200
York is state is the same as
reference in the Book of Mormon.

3011
02:47:18,100 --> 02:47:20,800
Interesting.
So, there we go.

3012
02:47:20,800 --> 02:47:24,100
Yeah, so that's been the
position now.

3013
02:47:24,100 --> 02:47:26,800
This should be that I broke this
down into unrealistic

3014
02:47:26,800 --> 02:47:29,300
expectations.
These are the things that are

3015
02:47:29,300 --> 02:47:32,700
expected.
People say, well, we expect to

3016
02:47:32,700 --> 02:47:35,900
find, you know, bones and metal
swords and so forth and so on.

3017
02:47:37,600 --> 02:47:41,000
I call unrealistic expectations
because if you actually do a

3018
02:47:41,008 --> 02:47:44,100
little bit of just thinking
about this for a second, you

3019
02:47:44,100 --> 02:47:47,600
realize that this is plenty of
space, you know, talks about the

3020
02:47:47,600 --> 02:47:50,100
size of the heels, too small to
have a massive battle on it.

3021
02:47:50,900 --> 02:47:52,800
Well, first off the book,
remember never says that the

3022
02:47:52,800 --> 02:47:54,300
battle happened on the Hill
tomorrow.

3023
02:47:54,300 --> 02:47:56,400
What happened?
Round about the hill tomorrow,

3024
02:47:56,400 --> 02:47:59,000
right?
So in the vicinity of the

3025
02:47:59,000 --> 02:48:02,900
helper, I didn't didn't have
250,000 people fighting on that

3026
02:48:02,900 --> 02:48:05,400
hill, right?
But there's plenty of room for

3027
02:48:05,408 --> 02:48:09,300
250000 people.
To fit it and have this bad luck

3028
02:48:09,300 --> 02:48:11,200
here.
This big and this big open, you

3029
02:48:11,200 --> 02:48:14,700
know, Valley right?
You can't see millions of people

3030
02:48:14,700 --> 02:48:16,200
on the massive Battlefield from
the hilltop.

3031
02:48:16,200 --> 02:48:19,500
Well actually that's not true.
Either you can see almost 40

3032
02:48:19,500 --> 02:48:22,200
miles.
Almost to to Rochester.

3033
02:48:22,200 --> 02:48:27,200
Yeah, you can you can see from
the Hill Cumorah, I'm also the

3034
02:48:27,200 --> 02:48:33,600
size of a hill does not make it.
you know, there's not a critical

3035
02:48:33,600 --> 02:48:36,400
place to make it basically like
for example, the Battle of get

3036
02:48:37,200 --> 02:48:40,500
Is getting a little round top,
which is that if you take a look

3037
02:48:40,508 --> 02:48:44,000
at this image, the little round
top is the it is the hill and

3038
02:48:44,000 --> 02:48:46,200
the foreground, okay?
Okay.

3039
02:48:46,200 --> 02:48:51,000
Big round top is the distant one
that the big round top is like

3040
02:48:51,000 --> 02:48:54,900
twice as tall as little round
top but they these little round

3041
02:48:54,900 --> 02:49:00,200
top as the as the primary place
to view the Battle of Gettysburg

3042
02:49:00,200 --> 02:49:04,300
and the reason with pretty
simple little round, top didn't

3043
02:49:04,300 --> 02:49:06,700
have trees on the top of it and
big round top dead.

3044
02:49:06,700 --> 02:49:08,100
Right.
Right.

3045
02:49:08,100 --> 02:49:13,000
So it was just yeah it was based
on availability of, you know,

3046
02:49:13,008 --> 02:49:17,400
line of sight, right?
And little round top is

3047
02:49:17,400 --> 02:49:21,900
basically it's smaller than the
Hill Cumorah but yet they

3048
02:49:21,900 --> 02:49:24,000
watched the entire Battle of
Gettysburg from the top of that

3049
02:49:24,000 --> 02:49:26,800
hill, right.
So the size of the Hill, the

3050
02:49:26,800 --> 02:49:30,200
hill is not too small for that.
I'm in fact this is the view

3051
02:49:30,200 --> 02:49:33,800
actually looking off to the West
essentially kind of this to the

3052
02:49:33,808 --> 02:49:39,200
South West.
That's But you can see you can

3053
02:49:39,208 --> 02:49:40,900
see a long ways.
The course with trees in there.

3054
02:49:40,908 --> 02:49:44,700
You know, it blocks it off a lot
but but basically you know but

3055
02:49:44,700 --> 02:49:46,100
you can see the whole general
area here.

3056
02:49:46,100 --> 02:49:48,500
Absolutely.
What about buffalo in the Book

3057
02:49:48,500 --> 02:49:51,500
of Mormon?
You know, right, where in the

3058
02:49:51,508 --> 02:49:53,400
book of mermaid is to talk about
Buffalo, well, it doesn't talk

3059
02:49:53,400 --> 02:49:56,400
about Buffalo specifically, but,
but this is one of the things

3060
02:49:56,400 --> 02:49:59,000
that was interesting.
Yeah.

3061
02:49:59,000 --> 02:50:01,700
They say, what about the bones
in the Book of Mormon?

3062
02:50:01,700 --> 02:50:05,700
Where is all the bones of the
jaredites and the Nephites that

3063
02:50:05,700 --> 02:50:09,000
were killed there, right?
And you have to understand first

3064
02:50:09,000 --> 02:50:12,600
off, The only way, the only way
that bones are going to be

3065
02:50:12,600 --> 02:50:15,700
preserved.
Is if they're buried, right?

3066
02:50:15,700 --> 02:50:18,400
They have to be buried at least
three or four feet down so that

3067
02:50:18,400 --> 02:50:21,400
you don't get enough oxygen.
So it doesn't oxygenate.

3068
02:50:21,400 --> 02:50:24,100
The calcium carbonate in the
bones, which will break him

3069
02:50:24,100 --> 02:50:27,100
down, so you have to get him
down below the oxygen levels,

3070
02:50:27,100 --> 02:50:30,200
where the auction levels in the
soil are depleted.

3071
02:50:31,000 --> 02:50:33,400
And and so, so who buried the
jaredites?

3072
02:50:34,700 --> 02:50:36,200
Well, nobody.
Nobody yeah.

3073
02:50:37,300 --> 02:50:40,800
There was nobody left you know
like one guy right?

3074
02:50:40,800 --> 02:50:43,800
Who buried the knee fights did
the Jared Knights bury the knee

3075
02:50:43,800 --> 02:50:46,800
fights.
No no he did the name is better

3076
02:50:46,808 --> 02:50:49,100
than a fights.
Most likely not know.

3077
02:50:49,100 --> 02:50:53,100
It says that they specifically
said that they were they were

3078
02:50:53,100 --> 02:50:55,200
left to molder and returned to
Mother Earth.

3079
02:50:55,200 --> 02:50:57,600
Yep.
It left on the surface of the

3080
02:50:57,600 --> 02:51:02,400
ground he said so a buffalo is
many times bigger than a human

3081
02:51:03,200 --> 02:51:07,500
Much thicker bounds thicker
hide, you know, there's a lot of

3082
02:51:07,500 --> 02:51:09,600
things that would keep a
buffalo, you know?

3083
02:51:09,608 --> 02:51:13,800
And I just gave example, let's
just say that a cow in New York

3084
02:51:13,800 --> 02:51:17,000
wanders off someplace and dies.
How long is it going to be?

3085
02:51:17,000 --> 02:51:21,400
You know, how long is that
animals remains going to remain

3086
02:51:21,400 --> 02:51:24,000
on the surface that you could
actually, you know, know that

3087
02:51:24,000 --> 02:51:27,100
there was a cow there not long
especially when you factor in

3088
02:51:27,100 --> 02:51:30,700
like out west, it'll last a
little longer because it's drier

3089
02:51:30,700 --> 02:51:32,700
where there's a more humid
climate.

3090
02:51:32,700 --> 02:51:36,300
It breaks down faster and New
York is definitely more humid.

3091
02:51:37,300 --> 02:51:39,100
That's right.
And you've got things like

3092
02:51:39,100 --> 02:51:43,900
wolves and coyotes and all kinds
of raccoons and and all kinds of

3093
02:51:43,900 --> 02:51:46,600
animals that would eat off of,
but but there's no chemicals.

3094
02:51:46,600 --> 02:51:49,500
Degradation, basically, you
know, chemically the body starts

3095
02:51:49,500 --> 02:51:52,000
to break down over the course of
time.

3096
02:51:52,000 --> 02:51:53,600
You go through a couple of
Seasons.

3097
02:51:53,600 --> 02:51:56,500
You got Winter's and Summers and
freezing and fine and so forth.

3098
02:51:56,500 --> 02:52:00,900
You've got the you've got a
flies and maggots the things

3099
02:52:00,900 --> 02:52:03,500
that they're going to happen
there and all these other

3100
02:52:03,500 --> 02:52:05,100
predators.
And so for their gonna come in

3101
02:52:05,100 --> 02:52:11,400
by the Line, This is the, this
is a 1800 pound bull bison know

3102
02:52:11,400 --> 02:52:15,200
in in Yellowstone when I went up
there and it took a couple of

3103
02:52:15,200 --> 02:52:18,500
pictures of this.
This is a, this is a buffalo

3104
02:52:18,500 --> 02:52:21,600
kill site and that's only about
a year and a half old.

3105
02:52:22,600 --> 02:52:24,300
Interesting, that's all that's
left.

3106
02:52:25,000 --> 02:52:28,400
Within about within just a
couple of years I had some other

3107
02:52:28,408 --> 02:52:31,100
pictures that within two or
three years and Yellowstone.

3108
02:52:31,100 --> 02:52:34,300
There's no there's no there's
nothing left there's no there's

3109
02:52:34,300 --> 02:52:38,900
no evidence that that Buffalo
ever existed right just left out

3110
02:52:38,900 --> 02:52:41,900
there on the on the surface.
So why would we why would

3111
02:52:41,900 --> 02:52:44,600
anybody expect that?
We're going to find you know,

3112
02:52:44,608 --> 02:52:48,400
human bones strewn about the
surface of the of the the area

3113
02:52:48,400 --> 02:52:52,500
there around New York?
Yeah, yeah, it is.

3114
02:52:53,200 --> 02:52:55,500
You're right.
And then and then what about

3115
02:52:55,500 --> 02:52:58,800
steel swords?
Well this is a 17th century

3116
02:52:58,800 --> 02:53:00,500
store.
This is a this is a Spaniard

3117
02:53:00,500 --> 02:53:04,300
sword, it's been left out there
and it's almost completely, you

3118
02:53:04,300 --> 02:53:06,900
know, rest of the way it's
almost done recognizable.

3119
02:53:07,900 --> 02:53:09,700
Yeah.
I mean you can just see that you

3120
02:53:09,700 --> 02:53:10,900
can see the handle part of it
here.

3121
02:53:10,900 --> 02:53:13,500
On the left hand side, right?
Part of the blade on the right

3122
02:53:13,500 --> 02:53:15,500
hand side, but most of the blade
is gone.

3123
02:53:15,500 --> 02:53:18,100
Yep.
Given another, you know, 30 or

3124
02:53:18,100 --> 02:53:20,700
40 years there would be nothing
left but a red stain in the

3125
02:53:20,708 --> 02:53:22,100
ground, right?
Yeah.

3126
02:53:22,100 --> 02:53:26,100
So in any kind of a steel sword,
it's ridiculous to think that

3127
02:53:26,100 --> 02:53:29,300
you would ever find one because
they would have long ago,

3128
02:53:29,300 --> 02:53:32,400
wrested away, right.
Okay.

3129
02:53:32,400 --> 02:53:35,100
But then, what about
breastplates and hit play?

3130
02:53:35,100 --> 02:53:37,800
Some of those were said that
we're made out of car.

3131
02:53:37,800 --> 02:53:40,500
Where are all those?
Well, you have to understand

3132
02:53:40,500 --> 02:53:43,300
that the knee fights were highly
outnumbered, by the way, when I

3133
02:53:43,308 --> 02:53:47,300
was probably a three to four to
one ratio and and, you know, and

3134
02:53:47,300 --> 02:53:50,700
my personal thought is that
talks about the great and final

3135
02:53:50,700 --> 02:53:52,400
battle of the book of mermaid
talked about.

3136
02:53:52,408 --> 02:53:55,100
There's just 23 individuals with
10,000 guys.

3137
02:53:55,100 --> 02:53:57,600
Each.
Now, I don't know that I would

3138
02:53:57,600 --> 02:54:00,200
doubt, that 10,000 is the exact
number, what?

3139
02:54:00,200 --> 02:54:02,100
Probably, just kind of like a
bunch of people.

3140
02:54:02,100 --> 02:54:07,200
Write, write 10,000 ten
thousand, whatever if you if it

3141
02:54:07,200 --> 02:54:09,300
was 1000.
That would be 230,000 men

3142
02:54:09,300 --> 02:54:12,500
potentially press women and
children unless they counted the

3143
02:54:12,500 --> 02:54:14,500
women and children as combatants
as well.

3144
02:54:14,500 --> 02:54:16,600
Right.
I don't know if they did or not,

3145
02:54:16,600 --> 02:54:19,100
but it's hard to tell but they
usually say man.

3146
02:54:19,100 --> 02:54:23,400
Anyway, so that's the case.
And you have a lame right Army

3147
02:54:23,400 --> 02:54:28,000
coming with Gosh, I mean maybe a
half a million man, right?

3148
02:54:28,000 --> 02:54:31,300
Against 250,000 men or 230,000
men.

3149
02:54:32,100 --> 02:54:34,800
So anyway, bottom line is, is
that it's, you know, the

3150
02:54:34,800 --> 02:54:37,700
lamanites are way, outnumbering
Nephites.

3151
02:54:37,700 --> 02:54:41,400
And after the neat fights are
all annihilated and they're

3152
02:54:41,400 --> 02:54:44,900
laying there dead on the ground.
What's the chances?

3153
02:54:44,900 --> 02:54:47,100
The fear of Limonite Warrior
that you're going to walk past

3154
02:54:47,100 --> 02:54:49,800
this knee fight with his
beautiful armor on?

3155
02:54:50,600 --> 02:54:52,100
No, you're taking it home is
either.

3156
02:54:52,100 --> 02:54:54,100
Take it.
Yeah, you're gonna take it home

3157
02:54:54,108 --> 02:54:56,700
as a trophy or a tool of some
sort.

3158
02:54:56,700 --> 02:54:59,300
I mean you're going to to
scavenge that.

3159
02:55:00,700 --> 02:55:03,000
That's right.
It's called Spoils of War.

3160
02:55:03,000 --> 02:55:05,800
It's it happens in practically
every kind of battle kind of

3161
02:55:05,808 --> 02:55:09,200
thing, you know, it's actually
anciently but basically, so if

3162
02:55:09,200 --> 02:55:12,600
there was a nice steel sword, if
there was that, you know, a nice

3163
02:55:12,600 --> 02:55:14,400
head plate, breastplate, they
say that.

3164
02:55:14,400 --> 02:55:17,100
Guys about my same size.
I think I'll take that from him,

3165
02:55:17,100 --> 02:55:19,200
he's not gonna need it anyway,
right?

3166
02:55:19,200 --> 02:55:22,800
So they're going to take most of
that and just hold it up and

3167
02:55:22,800 --> 02:55:25,200
says there's price as many of
them as there was Nephi fights.

3168
02:55:25,200 --> 02:55:29,000
You know, that literally going
to strip almost everybody on the

3169
02:55:29,008 --> 02:55:32,400
battlefield down unless unless
their stuff was so messed up

3170
02:55:32,400 --> 02:55:33,400
that they couldn't use it,
right?

3171
02:55:33,400 --> 02:55:38,400
Like the split in half or
something about and then I well

3172
02:55:38,400 --> 02:55:41,900
get rid of that.
But anyway, so that's so you

3173
02:55:41,900 --> 02:55:44,800
wouldn't expect to find a heck
of a lot of stuff left over from

3174
02:55:44,800 --> 02:55:48,500
a battle that had the, the ratio
of the lamanites.

3175
02:55:48,500 --> 02:55:51,700
And if it's describing the Book
of Mormon, So then what kind of

3176
02:55:51,708 --> 02:55:54,300
expectations would we expect to
have them from the text based on

3177
02:55:54,308 --> 02:55:57,000
arrowheads defensive structures
repository of records, and so

3178
02:55:57,008 --> 02:55:58,900
forth?
Well, it turns out that there

3179
02:55:58,900 --> 02:56:01,700
were tons of arrowheads.
So many arrowheads that the

3180
02:56:01,700 --> 02:56:06,300
early early Riders not not LDS
writers, but just early people

3181
02:56:06,300 --> 02:56:10,800
coming in the area.
Like the talk about the state of

3182
02:56:10,808 --> 02:56:13,100
New York.
They talked about, you know, you

3183
02:56:13,100 --> 02:56:15,700
couldn't walk on the ground
without stepping on arrowheads,

3184
02:56:15,700 --> 02:56:19,600
they were just everywhere and
every Farmer for the last, you

3185
02:56:19,600 --> 02:56:23,700
know, Century in New York has
had massive amounts of

3186
02:56:23,700 --> 02:56:26,700
arrowheads and so forth.
They just gave him away for like

3187
02:56:26,700 --> 02:56:29,200
about 340 years.
When the church first put up the

3188
02:56:29,200 --> 02:56:33,200
the the Visitor Center there at
the Hill Cumorah.

3189
02:56:33,200 --> 02:56:38,400
They they had a barrel out there
and Farmers could just come and

3190
02:56:38,400 --> 02:56:41,700
just throw their arrowheads in
the barrel and and people would

3191
02:56:41,700 --> 02:56:44,800
come to the hill and take one of
the souvenir and this went on

3192
02:56:44,800 --> 02:56:50,900
for years.
Yeah, a defensive structures and

3193
02:56:50,900 --> 02:56:53,000
around the hill Camaro, the
repository of records, and so

3194
02:56:53,008 --> 02:56:53,900
forth.
I mean, yeah.

3195
02:56:53,900 --> 02:56:55,300
Oh my gosh, we could go into
that.

3196
02:56:55,300 --> 02:57:00,000
This is actually one of the
stone walls goes through the the

3197
02:57:00,000 --> 02:57:05,200
sacred grove actually.
Um, this is a whole other thing

3198
02:57:05,200 --> 02:57:07,900
but this is, this is inside the
repository.

3199
02:57:07,900 --> 02:57:12,100
It's a photograph that was taken
by a friend of mine.

3200
02:57:12,100 --> 02:57:16,100
Anyway, here's a descendant of
Willard Bean that helped to help

3201
02:57:16,100 --> 02:57:20,300
to, you know, to get the Hill
Cumorah so as you know under our

3202
02:57:20,300 --> 02:57:26,000
control kind of thing.
And anyway so those back up that

3203
02:57:26,000 --> 02:57:29,300
cave there that in the Hill
Cumorah Yeah.

3204
02:57:29,300 --> 02:57:33,600
Okay fast.
Yeah, it was Willard Bean.

3205
02:57:33,600 --> 02:57:40,900
Basically his his drink.
The sentences is Laurie.

3206
02:57:42,900 --> 02:57:44,700
Laurie Bean anyway.
Okay.

3207
02:57:44,700 --> 02:57:50,200
But but the the church would
allow the bean family to go and

3208
02:57:50,200 --> 02:57:53,900
have family reunions on the hill
because of you know, how to

3209
02:57:53,900 --> 02:57:59,400
obtain the hill and everything.
So they were on the hill, on the

3210
02:57:59,400 --> 02:58:01,100
hill.
I have this family reunion theme

3211
02:58:01,100 --> 02:58:05,300
probably about 15 years ago and
and then almost said, one of the

3212
02:58:05,308 --> 02:58:09,300
kids come running down He'll say
Hey Little Johnny fell into this

3213
02:58:09,300 --> 02:58:10,900
thing, whatever they write about
the heck.

3214
02:58:10,908 --> 02:58:13,900
So they go up there and sure
enough he's falling into this

3215
02:58:13,908 --> 02:58:18,400
this hole in the side of the
hill and so they said like well

3216
02:58:18,400 --> 02:58:20,200
what the heck they can't get him
out of there.

3217
02:58:20,200 --> 02:58:21,200
He's the kids.
Okay.

3218
02:58:21,200 --> 02:58:24,900
Because it's only about 12 or 13
feet down, but he can't, they

3219
02:58:24,900 --> 02:58:27,300
can't reach it.
So they went down the parking

3220
02:58:27,300 --> 02:58:29,200
lot.
Like I remember correctly, I

3221
02:58:29,200 --> 02:58:31,700
think that they ended up getting
like some jumper cables or

3222
02:58:31,700 --> 02:58:34,800
something.
They ran up there and lower the

3223
02:58:34,800 --> 02:58:38,200
jumper cables down.
They're the boy grabbed the

3224
02:58:38,200 --> 02:58:41,200
whole event and then pulled him
back up out of the thing to

3225
02:58:41,200 --> 02:58:44,300
safety.
And before they left, he had the

3226
02:58:44,300 --> 02:58:49,200
wherewithal to thinking the.
So, Matt is the the guys.

3227
02:58:49,200 --> 02:58:52,300
He basically he's with the film
department of the church and

3228
02:58:52,300 --> 02:58:54,700
long story short.
He had a camera so he took this

3229
02:58:54,700 --> 02:58:56,500
flash picture of the inside of
this thing.

3230
02:58:59,300 --> 02:59:02,100
Like a stroke like a structured
wall.

3231
02:59:02,100 --> 02:59:04,700
As you look at this, it's not a
cave.

3232
02:59:04,700 --> 02:59:07,900
Yeah, as you look at the way
those stones are, right?

3233
02:59:07,900 --> 02:59:10,400
That's a wall.
Yeah.

3234
02:59:10,400 --> 02:59:13,500
And in fact that went, oh, yeah.
Up to the top of the seal.

3235
02:59:13,500 --> 02:59:16,200
There were kind of, they kind of
level them up there and it was

3236
02:59:16,208 --> 02:59:18,400
covered with with dirt upon top
of that.

3237
02:59:18,400 --> 02:59:22,100
And that just collapsed in.
When the kid got on, there was

3238
02:59:22,100 --> 02:59:24,200
just heavy enough to collapse it
into it.

3239
02:59:24,200 --> 02:59:27,200
And, and so you can kind of see
a little bit of the dirt there

3240
02:59:27,200 --> 02:59:29,600
in the bottom.
So, yeah, leaves the stuff at

3241
02:59:29,600 --> 02:59:30,900
the bottom of that.
Where it came in.

3242
02:59:31,800 --> 02:59:36,200
But basically, yeah, so this is
the then about three days later.

3243
02:59:37,200 --> 02:59:42,000
There was a contractor that came
out there and placed a steel

3244
02:59:42,000 --> 02:59:45,300
plate over the top of it.
And then covered that with with

3245
02:59:45,300 --> 02:59:48,900
soil.
And as I understand, I haven't

3246
02:59:48,900 --> 02:59:51,200
done it personally, but as I
understand other people have

3247
02:59:51,200 --> 02:59:53,400
actually brought like medli
detectors out there and it's

3248
02:59:53,400 --> 02:59:55,300
still there.
The metal is still there.

3249
02:59:55,300 --> 02:59:58,600
Holy cow.
Yeah, I would love.

3250
02:59:58,600 --> 03:00:01,300
I would love to see the inside
of that thing.

3251
03:00:01,300 --> 03:00:04,300
Holy cow, as a survey, it's just
begging me to go.

3252
03:00:04,300 --> 03:00:07,800
But why is it empty?
You know, this one of the

3253
03:00:07,800 --> 03:00:10,300
questions because people go,
what, what happened to all the

3254
03:00:10,308 --> 03:00:12,000
stuff that was in there because
right?

3255
03:00:12,000 --> 03:00:16,200
Talk about theirs, as much as
eight wagon loads of place and

3256
03:00:16,200 --> 03:00:19,900
so forth in their But we also
know that when they left the

3257
03:00:19,900 --> 03:00:24,300
area they that he'll come over
was was not pretty bad by people

3258
03:00:24,300 --> 03:00:26,400
and it didn't look like it does.
Today didn't have trees and

3259
03:00:26,400 --> 03:00:27,900
stuff on.
It was pretty much just nude,

3260
03:00:27,900 --> 03:00:31,700
you know, there was the nudity
of trees, I should say anyway,

3261
03:00:31,700 --> 03:00:36,000
so they but anyway, somehow that
this didn't get found but this

3262
03:00:36,000 --> 03:00:42,800
is actually The the image there
of this and the according to the

3263
03:00:42,800 --> 03:00:45,200
store says from Oliver cowdery
and so forth.

3264
03:00:45,200 --> 03:00:47,800
It was about a room is about 16
by 16.

3265
03:00:48,800 --> 03:00:52,700
By about 10 or 12 feet high.
They didn't say the height.

3266
03:00:52,700 --> 03:00:54,500
They just said, it was just, it
was just a room.

3267
03:00:55,300 --> 03:01:00,800
About 15. 16 feet square.
Yeah, yeah, I know that I for, I

3268
03:01:00,800 --> 03:01:03,800
hope everyone who's listening
actually goes to the, to the

3269
03:01:03,800 --> 03:01:07,200
rumble Channel and take take a
look at this because it

3270
03:01:07,200 --> 03:01:10,600
absolutely is a structured wall,
right?

3271
03:01:10,600 --> 03:01:15,100
I mean, that that is Stone
placed on top of each other and

3272
03:01:15,100 --> 03:01:18,300
it's not natural.
That's man-made know, that's

3273
03:01:18,300 --> 03:01:20,000
man-made.
That's a man-made structure.

3274
03:01:20,000 --> 03:01:23,900
Yeah, wow.
And that also addresses the fact

3275
03:01:23,900 --> 03:01:26,900
that they said the Hill Cumorah
as a Glacial Drumlin it's not

3276
03:01:26,908 --> 03:01:31,000
conducive to Kay for nation
which is true, but but there's

3277
03:01:31,000 --> 03:01:33,700
only one, or two of the counted
that talked about it being a

3278
03:01:33,700 --> 03:01:36,100
cave, Muslim just said it was a
room.

3279
03:01:36,800 --> 03:01:42,200
Right, that they went.
So yeah, so there's that then,

3280
03:01:42,200 --> 03:01:45,700
of course history, you know,
comedy The Village, Manchester

3281
03:01:45,700 --> 03:01:47,600
there's this hill and so forth,
right?

3282
03:01:47,600 --> 03:01:52,800
This is where it comes into
really, I don't know how people

3283
03:01:52,800 --> 03:01:56,800
can argue this But other counter
was commissioned by Joseph

3284
03:01:56,800 --> 03:01:58,400
Smith.
To write the early history of

3285
03:01:58,400 --> 03:02:01,200
the church and he did it in a
series of eight letters and

3286
03:02:01,200 --> 03:02:04,600
letter number seven of Oliver
cowder, work.

3287
03:02:04,600 --> 03:02:09,500
He talks about the okamura Now
people say well well Joseph

3288
03:02:09,500 --> 03:02:12,000
Smith, you know, maybe maybe he
didn't, you know, he didn't

3289
03:02:12,000 --> 03:02:15,900
write, it was all recovery but
actually all of her calories

3290
03:02:15,900 --> 03:02:18,200
specifically said that these
letters were written with the

3291
03:02:18,200 --> 03:02:23,100
direct help and in of jealous
Smith, he says, in fact there's

3292
03:02:23,100 --> 03:02:26,300
a lot of things that that were
only known by the Smith.

3293
03:02:26,300 --> 03:02:28,900
And the only way that I would
have gotten that information was

3294
03:02:28,900 --> 03:02:32,600
through the Smith himself now,
if Joseph Smith didn't agree

3295
03:02:32,600 --> 03:02:35,900
with this and he could have
certainly just had just go out,

3296
03:02:35,900 --> 03:02:38,200
it's just the letter as in that
promote it.

3297
03:02:38,208 --> 03:02:41,500
But Joseph Smith took the
opportunity to actually have

3298
03:02:41,500 --> 03:02:43,900
these published in every
publication that he had access

3299
03:02:43,900 --> 03:02:46,300
to, it was in the times and
Seasons evening in the Morning

3300
03:02:46,300 --> 03:02:48,000
Star.
He actually had it written in

3301
03:02:48,000 --> 03:02:51,700
his own personal journals.
So for this these letters from

3302
03:02:51,700 --> 03:02:54,500
Oliver cowdery, that's some
people say, well, Oliver cowdery

3303
03:02:54,500 --> 03:02:58,700
became, you know, an apostate.
But the bottom line is, this is

3304
03:02:58,700 --> 03:03:02,400
that during this time when these
were written, he was the he was

3305
03:03:02,400 --> 03:03:07,200
not just Anybody, he was
actually the assistant press and

3306
03:03:07,200 --> 03:03:08,600
of the church.
Yep.

3307
03:03:08,600 --> 03:03:12,900
Second only to Joseph himself.
So, even even higher than Hiram,

3308
03:03:12,900 --> 03:03:16,900
any of the 12 apostles, he was
basically assistant president at

3309
03:03:16,900 --> 03:03:18,300
the time when he was writing
these things.

3310
03:03:18,300 --> 03:03:22,000
And, and as you go through this,
this is just an amazing day.

3311
03:03:22,000 --> 03:03:24,900
But listen to what he says here.
He says, I must now give you

3312
03:03:24,900 --> 03:03:27,600
some description of the place
where and the manner in which

3313
03:03:27,600 --> 03:03:31,700
these records were deposited.
You're acquainted with the mail

3314
03:03:31,700 --> 03:03:34,700
Road from Palmyra, Wayne County
to Canandaigua Ontario County.

3315
03:03:34,700 --> 03:03:38,200
And also as you passed from the
former the latter place before

3316
03:03:38,200 --> 03:03:40,400
arriving at a little village of
Manchester about three or four

3317
03:03:40,408 --> 03:03:43,800
miles from Palmyra, he passed a
large Hill on the east side of

3318
03:03:43,800 --> 03:03:49,400
the road.
That is exactly a description as

3319
03:03:49,400 --> 03:03:50,800
you can.
Yeah, right.

3320
03:03:50,800 --> 03:03:53,300
So, he's yelling exactly where
we're talking about.

3321
03:03:53,300 --> 03:03:55,000
We know this is the Hill Cumorah
New York.

3322
03:03:56,500 --> 03:03:59,900
Says about a mile passed about
West, right?

3323
03:03:59,900 --> 03:04:02,700
Is another Ridge of less height
running parallel with the

3324
03:04:02,700 --> 03:04:06,700
farmer, leaving a beautiful veil
or Valley in between. the soil

3325
03:04:06,700 --> 03:04:09,600
of the First Quality for the
country and state of

3326
03:04:09,608 --> 03:04:12,700
cultivation, which gives a
prospect that once imposing when

3327
03:04:12,700 --> 03:04:16,600
one reflects on the fact, So now
this is you have to understand.

3328
03:04:16,600 --> 03:04:21,900
This is this is Oliver cowdery.
But Joe the Smith is is having

3329
03:04:21,900 --> 03:04:25,100
this stuff reprinted and
Republican everywhere, right?

3330
03:04:25,100 --> 03:04:28,600
According to Oliver cowdery, and
Joseph Smith is to fact that

3331
03:04:28,600 --> 03:04:33,200
here, between these two Hills,
the entire power and National

3332
03:04:33,200 --> 03:04:36,100
strength of both, the Jared ice
and the Nephites were destroyed.

3333
03:04:37,000 --> 03:04:43,000
Oh so so early on in church
history right?

3334
03:04:43,000 --> 03:04:48,600
I mean this is fairly early.
We have with Joseph's help.

3335
03:04:49,400 --> 03:04:53,400
Him calling out the spot.
Yeah, yeah.

3336
03:04:53,400 --> 03:04:57,800
And he goes on, check this out.
He says by turning to the 529

3337
03:04:57,800 --> 03:04:59,800
and 530 Pages.
The book mermaid, you have to

3338
03:04:59,800 --> 03:05:02,900
understand that the first
edition of The Book of Mormon

3339
03:05:02,900 --> 03:05:06,200
didn't have, you know, chapters
and brushes.

3340
03:05:06,200 --> 03:05:08,400
Yep.
So they had their own, they

3341
03:05:08,400 --> 03:05:11,100
could only reference a page,
right?

3342
03:05:11,100 --> 03:05:14,000
So this tells you, this is the
first version.

3343
03:05:14,000 --> 03:05:16,300
The first edition of the
Bookman, he's talking about.

3344
03:05:16,300 --> 03:05:19,400
It says, by turning into 500
29th at 5:30 Pages book merman,

3345
03:05:19,400 --> 03:05:23,000
you will read Mormons that came
out of the last great struggle

3346
03:05:23,000 --> 03:05:25,900
of his people, as they were
camped around about this.

3347
03:05:25,900 --> 03:05:31,000
He'll come Aura and this Valley
fella remaining strength and

3348
03:05:31,000 --> 03:05:32,700
pride of a.
Once powerful people, the

3349
03:05:32,700 --> 03:05:34,900
Nephites once so highly favoured
the Lord.

3350
03:05:34,900 --> 03:05:39,500
But at that time, in darkness,
in termination, by the hands of

3351
03:05:39,500 --> 03:05:42,500
their Barbers and civilized
Brethren says, from the top of

3352
03:05:42,500 --> 03:05:46,800
this hill, Mormon with a few
others, after the battle gays

3353
03:05:46,800 --> 03:05:49,900
with horror upon the mangled
remains of those who the day

3354
03:05:49,900 --> 03:05:52,200
before or filled with anxiety,
Hooper.

3355
03:05:52,300 --> 03:05:57,300
Out this hill by the jaredites
was called Rama by it, or around

3356
03:05:57,300 --> 03:05:59,800
it, pitched a famous Army of
parameter their tent.

3357
03:05:59,800 --> 03:06:02,800
The opposing Army were to the
west and the same Valley and

3358
03:06:02,800 --> 03:06:05,800
nearby.
I mean, holy cats.

3359
03:06:05,800 --> 03:06:09,900
How is it possible?
We could misunderstand this, he

3360
03:06:09,900 --> 03:06:13,200
says in this same spot and full
of the top of this same Hill,

3361
03:06:13,200 --> 03:06:16,600
one may gaze with astonishment
upon the ground which was twice

3362
03:06:16,600 --> 03:06:19,200
covered with the dead and of our
fellow man.

3363
03:06:19,200 --> 03:06:22,700
Wow.
See it's beyond doubt at that

3364
03:06:22,700 --> 03:06:25,700
point, right?
It should be game over.

3365
03:06:25,700 --> 03:06:30,500
Yeah, yeah.
Oliver cowdery said this thing

3366
03:06:30,500 --> 03:06:33,900
with Joseph Smith, this is the
reason why when people say that

3367
03:06:33,900 --> 03:06:36,900
Joseph Smith changes his mind
later on in his life.

3368
03:06:36,900 --> 03:06:41,000
If it was so important that we
have that that experience with

3369
03:06:41,000 --> 03:06:44,300
the with the the Indians that
came over from Kia can not do

3370
03:06:44,300 --> 03:06:48,200
does Smith, never changes mine,
he never altered his his view.

3371
03:06:48,200 --> 03:06:52,200
He was completely consistent
100% of the time that the

3372
03:06:52,208 --> 03:06:55,800
Bookworm and happened, right?
As he is saying right over the

3373
03:06:55,800 --> 03:06:58,300
countries saying right here,
this is the final Battlefield.

3374
03:06:58,300 --> 03:07:01,600
If the hill come out in New York
is the he'll more of the Book of

3375
03:07:01,600 --> 03:07:04,600
Mormon.
Then the mesoamerica theories

3376
03:07:04,600 --> 03:07:05,900
are dead.
Yep.

3377
03:07:06,600 --> 03:07:11,500
Yep.
Who it's just simply is as

3378
03:07:11,500 --> 03:07:14,000
simple as that unless you're
willing to call those early

3379
03:07:14,000 --> 03:07:18,000
guys, Joseph Smith now included.
Wrong, right?

3380
03:07:18,000 --> 03:07:21,600
And again, I get very nervous
when people start questioning

3381
03:07:21,600 --> 03:07:26,800
the, the dispensation head.
Of the restoration.

3382
03:07:26,800 --> 03:07:30,400
That's right.
So enough with the two corners

3383
03:07:30,400 --> 03:07:32,200
Theory, there's only one more is
in New York.

3384
03:07:36,900 --> 03:07:40,400
It's pretty good.
Somebody sent me, that was

3385
03:07:40,400 --> 03:07:41,400
pretty funny.
Yeah.

3386
03:07:41,400 --> 03:07:43,400
Anyway, but yeah, it really is
true.

3387
03:07:43,400 --> 03:07:47,800
I mean, it is time that we just
bury this two cameras Theory,

3388
03:07:47,800 --> 03:07:51,300
which is never mentioned in the
book is never been a part of

3389
03:07:51,300 --> 03:07:55,200
that and it's just crazy.
So this is that this is my good

3390
03:07:55,200 --> 03:07:58,800
friend Jonathan Neville that did
a lot of This research and this

3391
03:07:58,800 --> 03:08:00,800
is his hat.
He's got on his letter.

3392
03:08:00,800 --> 03:08:04,600
Seven more great again.
That's awesome.

3393
03:08:04,600 --> 03:08:11,900
Oh so that's a little political
just there.

3394
03:08:11,900 --> 03:08:14,600
Yep.
All right, so now so that what

3395
03:08:14,600 --> 03:08:18,100
we've established essentially is
a 10 geographic map.

3396
03:08:18,100 --> 03:08:19,800
Bankers we have the hill
tomorrow.

3397
03:08:19,800 --> 03:08:22,700
Number one in New York.
Number two, is there a Hamlet?

3398
03:08:23,200 --> 03:08:26,000
Which is section 125 in the
doctrine covenants, where the

3399
03:08:26,008 --> 03:08:28,000
Lord commanded Joseph Smith,
this Administration to the

3400
03:08:28,008 --> 03:08:31,000
lamanites, we talked about the
planes of the Nephites, and the

3401
03:08:31,008 --> 03:08:35,600
Rocky Mountains, and the CE East
in the Zelf, Revelations.

3402
03:08:36,300 --> 03:08:40,800
You have the new.
Um, being from the from ether

3403
03:08:40,800 --> 03:08:44,000
and, and the book environment
itself talking about the New

3404
03:08:44,000 --> 03:08:46,800
Jerusalem, and then you have Joe
Smith, receiving from the Lord,

3405
03:08:46,800 --> 03:08:48,500
exactly.
The New Jersey was going to be

3406
03:08:48,500 --> 03:08:52,600
located and we know where that
is and that number six, we know

3407
03:08:52,608 --> 03:08:56,200
where Adam and I was located
where Adam and the nephew fights

3408
03:08:56,200 --> 03:08:58,800
both left Alters there.
Yep, and we know that that's

3409
03:08:58,800 --> 03:09:04,900
where the where Adam gathered
his righteous posterity together

3410
03:09:04,900 --> 03:09:08,800
to give him the last busy.
The first missionaries were sent

3411
03:09:08,800 --> 03:09:11,600
to the number eight, there's
three number eights there.

3412
03:09:11,600 --> 03:09:14,900
And then we have we know that
happened backs, DNA, the links

3413
03:09:14,900 --> 03:09:18,000
everything to the, to the to the
Hebrews is number nine.

3414
03:09:19,400 --> 03:09:21,600
And we know that the promised
land is the United States of

3415
03:09:21,600 --> 03:09:26,200
America.
Oh, So, there's ten geographic

3416
03:09:26,200 --> 03:09:30,300
map, but we call anchors in to
the thing and the indications of

3417
03:09:30,300 --> 03:09:31,900
climate and weather in the Book
of Mormon.

3418
03:09:31,900 --> 03:09:34,600
Yeah, that's where I was going
to ask next.

3419
03:09:34,600 --> 03:09:39,800
What I went and whether yeah.
Because one of the biggest one,

3420
03:09:39,800 --> 03:09:43,600
probably one of the most
effective questions that have

3421
03:09:43,600 --> 03:09:47,600
caused people to question
whether or not The Bookworm and

3422
03:09:47,600 --> 03:09:49,700
happened in North.
America is the simple question.

3423
03:09:49,700 --> 03:09:53,300
Well, if the Book of Mormon
happened in North America, why

3424
03:09:53,300 --> 03:09:55,500
didn't they mention snow, right?
Yeah.

3425
03:09:57,000 --> 03:10:01,200
Yeah, that would be my question.
Yeah, yeah, I can't remember if

3426
03:10:01,200 --> 03:10:04,700
I take this out, but actually,
it does look around, actually

3427
03:10:04,700 --> 03:10:08,600
does mention snow in the book in
the book when attacked about

3428
03:10:08,608 --> 03:10:11,000
being like as white as the
driven snow.

3429
03:10:11,000 --> 03:10:13,500
But that was in a vision, right?
It was in the right tree of life

3430
03:10:13,500 --> 03:10:17,000
and so forth and as mentioned,
hail in the Book of Mormon, but

3431
03:10:17,000 --> 03:10:19,100
it doesn't ever mention snow
actually happening in the Book

3432
03:10:19,100 --> 03:10:22,300
of Mormon, but another
interesting factor is, is if the

3433
03:10:22,300 --> 03:10:26,200
Bookman happened down in Central
America, Wait, isn't it mention

3434
03:10:26,200 --> 03:10:28,200
rain?
Right.

3435
03:10:28,200 --> 03:10:30,300
Where is rain?
Benched?

3436
03:10:31,100 --> 03:10:33,800
Because you have a very wet
season and Central America, you

3437
03:10:33,800 --> 03:10:35,800
have the dry season the wet
season, you don't really have

3438
03:10:35,800 --> 03:10:41,200
seasons per se, right?
Like North America Yeah, where

3439
03:10:41,200 --> 03:10:42,900
everything goes dormant and so
forth.

3440
03:10:42,900 --> 03:10:44,400
Things.
Don't go dormant down essential

3441
03:10:44,400 --> 03:10:47,600
America because the weather's
always kind of nice, right?

3442
03:10:47,600 --> 03:10:50,600
You know.
So anyway, so what about climate

3443
03:10:50,600 --> 03:10:52,100
in the Book of Mormon?
Now, there's a difference

3444
03:10:52,100 --> 03:10:55,400
between weather and climate
weather is kind of what happens,

3445
03:10:55,400 --> 03:10:58,000
you know, in a localized area,
right?

3446
03:10:58,000 --> 03:11:00,600
What happens over a much broader
region.

3447
03:11:01,700 --> 03:11:05,800
Okay so um and we're going to
kind of tell you just a little

3448
03:11:05,808 --> 03:11:08,500
bit about that here and it's
just seconds too.

3449
03:11:08,500 --> 03:11:11,700
So for example this is an alma
chapter 46 and says there were

3450
03:11:11,708 --> 03:11:14,700
some who died with fevers which
at some seasons of the year were

3451
03:11:14,700 --> 03:11:16,800
very frequent in the land.
It says.

3452
03:11:16,800 --> 03:11:18,800
But the seasons was the nature
of the climate.

3453
03:11:20,100 --> 03:11:23,000
So, the nature of the climate of
the Book of Mormon was to have

3454
03:11:23,000 --> 03:11:27,600
seasons.
Okay, now you could say well

3455
03:11:27,600 --> 03:11:30,200
okay is it the wet season and
dry season so forth, that's

3456
03:11:30,200 --> 03:11:31,500
possibility.
Okay.

3457
03:11:31,500 --> 03:11:34,300
So it doesn't really say one way
or the other but it does talk

3458
03:11:34,300 --> 03:11:36,100
about, you know, plants and
animals and so forth.

3459
03:11:36,100 --> 03:11:39,100
And we're going to go jump into
that too for a second.

3460
03:11:39,100 --> 03:11:40,600
This is, this is gonna be a
pretty big guy.

3461
03:11:40,600 --> 03:11:44,000
So here's a couple of the times
when it does mentions snow in

3462
03:11:44,000 --> 03:11:46,800
the Book of Mormon, this is a
first name for chapter 11 verse.

3463
03:11:46,800 --> 03:11:49,900
8 says that she right?
This is the snow, and then on

3464
03:11:49,900 --> 03:11:53,100
the Hillman chapter 5, it says,
when all his hail and his mighty

3465
03:11:53,100 --> 03:11:55,200
storm shall beat upon, you shall
have no power over you.

3466
03:11:55,200 --> 03:11:59,800
So, it wouldn't make any sense,
though, for in first chapter 11,

3467
03:11:59,800 --> 03:12:04,000
verse 8 for Lehigh, who has this
vision of the tree of life,

3468
03:12:04,000 --> 03:12:05,100
right?
Right.

3469
03:12:08,000 --> 03:12:11,700
He's having his vision and he
talks about the the fruit was as

3470
03:12:11,700 --> 03:12:15,400
was so white, it exceeded the
whiteness of the driven snow.

3471
03:12:16,200 --> 03:12:17,700
What would be the point of
Lehigh?

3472
03:12:19,000 --> 03:12:21,600
Who and Lehigh was shown in
Vision.

3473
03:12:21,600 --> 03:12:24,500
His you know what was going to
happen with his people, right?

3474
03:12:24,500 --> 03:12:26,900
The Lord showed him Envision,
right?

3475
03:12:26,900 --> 03:12:29,600
And so he if he knew that they
were going to be going over to

3476
03:12:29,600 --> 03:12:33,600
Central America for example and
he wanted to describe something

3477
03:12:33,600 --> 03:12:35,200
was really white and Central
America.

3478
03:12:37,200 --> 03:12:40,000
And he knew that his posterity
was never going to really

3479
03:12:40,000 --> 03:12:42,800
experience snow.
And Central America.

3480
03:12:42,800 --> 03:12:45,200
Now that mountains the mountains
in Central America, do get snow

3481
03:12:45,200 --> 03:12:46,400
on the mountain, so it's
possible.

3482
03:12:46,400 --> 03:12:49,100
They could have, you know, but
but not in the general lowlands

3483
03:12:49,100 --> 03:12:53,200
where they take typically say
that, the city of the Bookman

3484
03:12:53,200 --> 03:12:57,900
happened, it doesn't snow there.
So why would he use a metaphor

3485
03:12:57,900 --> 03:13:01,900
of snow to describe how white
something is?

3486
03:13:01,900 --> 03:13:03,300
He could have described
something else?

3487
03:13:03,300 --> 03:13:05,900
You know, the rights at the sun
like that.

3488
03:13:05,900 --> 03:13:10,300
But instead he uses a snow Which
doesn't make any sense.

3489
03:13:10,300 --> 03:13:12,700
If he knew that his people were
never going to experience now,

3490
03:13:12,700 --> 03:13:15,900
they would have no idea no
reference point to what

3491
03:13:15,900 --> 03:13:20,100
whiteness is of driven snow and
not just driven snow.

3492
03:13:20,800 --> 03:13:23,700
Which is a whole other thing
that's that the fascinating.

3493
03:13:23,700 --> 03:13:25,800
When you talk about
meteorologists and so forth and

3494
03:13:25,800 --> 03:13:30,900
how how snow can be driven, it's
not just Flawless, no, but

3495
03:13:30,900 --> 03:13:34,800
driven snow basically.
It has a wind factor as well to

3496
03:13:34,800 --> 03:13:35,200
it.
Yeah.

3497
03:13:35,200 --> 03:13:38,900
And if you look at ice storms
and so forth up in the north,

3498
03:13:38,900 --> 03:13:41,300
you know, the Midwest and
probably the United States or

3499
03:13:41,300 --> 03:13:44,300
whatever.
I mean, you know, you can get a

3500
03:13:44,300 --> 03:13:45,300
better understand of what's
Driven.

3501
03:13:45,300 --> 03:13:50,600
The snow is like I'm talking
about, hey also in Alma chapter

3502
03:13:50,600 --> 03:13:53,100
49, they talked about having
very thick garments to cover

3503
03:13:53,100 --> 03:13:55,300
their nakedness.
If you lived down in Central

3504
03:13:55,300 --> 03:13:58,000
America what would be the point
of having really thick clothes.

3505
03:13:58,000 --> 03:13:59,700
I mean it's you know, it's
always nice.

3506
03:13:59,700 --> 03:14:03,800
You really don't have a reason
to have very thick clothing but

3507
03:14:03,800 --> 03:14:06,000
here we have a couple of
examples where they're dressed

3508
03:14:06,000 --> 03:14:09,000
and thick clothing.
People say, well, it's because

3509
03:14:09,000 --> 03:14:11,700
they're coming to to war, so
they're going to wear thicker

3510
03:14:11,700 --> 03:14:15,100
clothing, to go to war with.
And that's, that's a viable

3511
03:14:15,100 --> 03:14:17,100
argument.
The president is concerned.

3512
03:14:17,100 --> 03:14:20,200
But people say, well, what about
the times when they, when they

3513
03:14:20,200 --> 03:14:22,800
shut up and nothing but Annoying
cloth, right?

3514
03:14:22,800 --> 03:14:26,700
Right now, it's a good point.
Yeah.

3515
03:14:26,700 --> 03:14:31,400
And and so the point basically
is that is that it's interesting

3516
03:14:31,400 --> 03:14:35,200
to note that the Nephites
actually fell, it was noteworthy

3517
03:14:35,200 --> 03:14:40,100
that the lane I showed up enough
The middle-class, right?

3518
03:14:40,100 --> 03:14:42,800
That wasn't warm.
It was the exception.

3519
03:14:43,800 --> 03:14:47,700
But if we're in the loin cloth
was kind of the normal thing,

3520
03:14:47,700 --> 03:14:50,900
then why would they make a big
deal about the fact that the

3521
03:14:50,900 --> 03:14:52,700
lame right?
Showed up, but nothing but a

3522
03:14:52,700 --> 03:14:54,500
loin cloth on.
Yeah, okay.

3523
03:14:54,500 --> 03:14:57,800
I can see that.
So, so there's that part of it.

3524
03:14:57,800 --> 03:15:00,900
And then also here, we're ready,
tornadoes are Chris said, the

3525
03:15:00,900 --> 03:15:03,300
third Nephi that people are
carried away in the world wind.

3526
03:15:04,500 --> 03:15:07,800
Well, a whirlwind is the only
the only natural phenomena

3527
03:15:07,800 --> 03:15:09,900
weather phenomena actually carry
somebody away.

3528
03:15:09,900 --> 03:15:14,600
I mean right, hurricane can blow
people across The landscape.

3529
03:15:14,600 --> 03:15:17,000
But they gonna end up hitting
trees and so forth, right?

3530
03:15:17,000 --> 03:15:18,700
Because this just, you know,
there's so many trees

3531
03:15:18,700 --> 03:15:21,900
everywhere.
They don't really go pick up in

3532
03:15:21,900 --> 03:15:23,500
the not carry the way in the
world end.

3533
03:15:23,500 --> 03:15:28,700
It's give me and in a, in a
hurricane, right storm?

3534
03:15:28,700 --> 03:15:31,200
Doesn't happen either know.
It could be carried away in a

3535
03:15:31,200 --> 03:15:34,600
flood but it's specifically says
it was a world win which is, of

3536
03:15:34,600 --> 03:15:37,100
course, is clearly talking about
a tornado, right?

3537
03:15:37,100 --> 03:15:39,600
Yep.
Which I think actually argue

3538
03:15:39,600 --> 03:15:41,400
that that's not a tornado.
Then the talking about something

3539
03:15:41,400 --> 03:15:45,700
else but you know, yeah, I mean,
I come straight here, you know,

3540
03:15:45,708 --> 03:15:49,200
if it's a whirling wind, it's a,
it's a tornado that they're

3541
03:15:49,200 --> 03:15:51,500
talking about here and it was
powerful enough to carry people

3542
03:15:51,500 --> 03:15:56,800
away. interestingly enough
tornadoes in in Central America

3543
03:15:56,800 --> 03:16:01,500
or unknown They've never even
had a category 1 tornado

3544
03:16:01,500 --> 03:16:05,700
anywhere in Central America but
yet in the heartland of America

3545
03:16:05,700 --> 03:16:09,200
is called Tornado Alley, right?
Yep.

3546
03:16:09,200 --> 03:16:11,800
Yep.
And every every year there's no,

3547
03:16:11,800 --> 03:16:15,100
you know, what they call me not
magnitude.

3548
03:16:15,100 --> 03:16:18,700
But anyway, they they're
category ores and categories.

3549
03:16:18,700 --> 03:16:20,500
Five occasionally.
Yep.

3550
03:16:20,500 --> 03:16:22,500
Okay.
I think is the biggest that they

3551
03:16:22,508 --> 03:16:25,300
get to, but basically, but
that's in the Great Plains,

3552
03:16:25,300 --> 03:16:29,100
basically it's all over the.
The central part of the United

3553
03:16:29,100 --> 03:16:32,000
States.
Yeah, they don't just the mound.

3554
03:16:32,000 --> 03:16:33,600
Builders.
What about the what about the

3555
03:16:33,600 --> 03:16:38,500
the number of people here?
You know this these are sights.

3556
03:16:38,500 --> 03:16:44,800
This is from the Cyrus Thomas
map of the ancient locations of

3557
03:16:44,800 --> 03:16:48,200
people's here in the heartland
of America.

3558
03:16:48,200 --> 03:16:51,500
At the Mississippi River Valley
basically getting going down on

3559
03:16:51,500 --> 03:16:54,200
the left side there and going up
the Ohio, going up, the upper

3560
03:16:54,200 --> 03:16:56,600
right.
And you see every Red Dot is a

3561
03:16:56,608 --> 03:16:58,500
location of the new about this
point in time.

3562
03:16:58,500 --> 03:17:02,800
Now, this was actually in the
book, excuse me, it was done by

3563
03:17:02,800 --> 03:17:06,500
Cyrus Thomas in the Smithsonian,
back in the 1800s, the late

3564
03:17:06,508 --> 03:17:11,600
1800s and and they show, I think
it's 180,000 sites.

3565
03:17:15,100 --> 03:17:19,300
To 180,000 sites, right?
But let me get, let me let me

3566
03:17:19,300 --> 03:17:21,600
update that, that was back in
the 1800s.

3567
03:17:21,600 --> 03:17:23,700
There's a new book.
This book that you see on the

3568
03:17:23,708 --> 03:17:27,400
left here, right now, right?
In the cyclopedia Native

3569
03:17:27,400 --> 03:17:31,200
American, mounds and Earthworks
by Gregory little, and exactly a

3570
03:17:31,200 --> 03:17:33,800
whole slew of other people who
are involved with this.

3571
03:17:33,800 --> 03:17:36,800
But this project, right?
It's a big thick book, it's

3572
03:17:36,800 --> 03:17:39,800
probably a good.
I mean, I've got a copy of our I

3573
03:17:39,800 --> 03:17:41,500
could go bring it.
It's probably a good, you know,

3574
03:17:41,500 --> 03:17:44,700
like like that thick as far as
the book itself is concerned

3575
03:17:44,700 --> 03:17:47,200
about 450 500 pages.
I think it is.

3576
03:17:48,200 --> 03:17:51,800
And on page three of his book,
he says he has the question.

3577
03:17:51,800 --> 03:17:54,200
How many miles are there?
He said, the most common

3578
03:17:54,200 --> 03:17:57,000
question that is asked about the
mounts of the mound.

3579
03:17:57,000 --> 03:18:01,400
Builders is how many these exist
in the 1800s is Smithsonian

3580
03:18:01,400 --> 03:18:04,800
sponsored, many expeditions to
identify Mouse's Across America

3581
03:18:04,800 --> 03:18:08,900
Map was published by Sarah,
Thomas, and 1894 and a bureau of

3582
03:18:08,908 --> 03:18:12,100
ethnology book.
They found approximately 100,000

3583
03:18:12,100 --> 03:18:15,700
miles.
But the figure of 100,000

3584
03:18:15,700 --> 03:18:17,700
Mounds.
Once existing based on the Cyrus

3585
03:18:17,700 --> 03:18:21,800
Thomas Maple Valley 100,000
sites is often cited by others.

3586
03:18:21,800 --> 03:18:25,000
But that estimate is far, far
too low.

3587
03:18:25,000 --> 03:18:30,400
Oh, my wasn't the 1894 right
right now.

3588
03:18:30,400 --> 03:18:33,400
So how many how many, how many
miles is he think that there is

3589
03:18:33,400 --> 03:18:36,000
here?
It says after visiting several

3590
03:18:36,000 --> 03:18:39,800
thousand miles and reviewing the
literature, I am fairly certain

3591
03:18:39,800 --> 03:18:44,200
that over 1 million Mounds once
existed and perhaps 100,000

3592
03:18:44,200 --> 03:18:46,400
still exist.
Wholly.

3593
03:18:46,400 --> 03:18:49,400
Now, this is not just Mouse.
This is actually Mound sites.

3594
03:18:49,400 --> 03:18:53,600
Many of these sites have between
three and up to 15 or 20 Mounds.

3595
03:18:53,600 --> 03:18:58,600
Holy talked about two or three
million mounds and yet somehow,

3596
03:18:58,600 --> 03:19:00,600
the archaeological community of
the United States.

3597
03:19:00,600 --> 03:19:06,300
Basically continues to try to
make this absurd idea that all

3598
03:19:06,300 --> 03:19:10,900
of these million plus sites with
over two or three million Mounds

3599
03:19:10,900 --> 03:19:14,600
in them were made by just a few,
small groups of hunter-gatherers

3600
03:19:14,600 --> 03:19:19,400
just hanging out.
Gathering berries and nuts.

3601
03:19:20,900 --> 03:19:22,800
In.
Here's the problem with that,

3602
03:19:22,800 --> 03:19:26,300
right?
Is that a hunter-gatherer

3603
03:19:26,300 --> 03:19:31,900
lifestyle does not give you the
time or the resources to be able

3604
03:19:31,900 --> 03:19:35,200
to create Much of anything,
right?

3605
03:19:35,200 --> 03:19:40,500
We know that from from the
tribes that were here in America

3606
03:19:40,500 --> 03:19:44,800
that were in existence during
European contact.

3607
03:19:46,800 --> 03:19:52,800
Even even the societies.
Like the man, Dan those who

3608
03:19:52,800 --> 03:19:58,100
lived in Huts they were, they
weren't just hunter-gatherers,

3609
03:19:58,100 --> 03:20:00,900
right?
They were a social they were an

3610
03:20:00,900 --> 03:20:03,200
organized social structure,
right?

3611
03:20:03,200 --> 03:20:06,900
And so, unless you have an
organized social structure, you

3612
03:20:06,900 --> 03:20:11,700
do not have the resources or
time necessary to create any

3613
03:20:11,700 --> 03:20:15,000
sort of Earthworks, right?
Because it and the other thing

3614
03:20:15,000 --> 03:20:18,400
is and, and this is something I
didn't realize until I got to

3615
03:20:18,400 --> 03:20:21,500
see one up close.
These are not small features,

3616
03:20:21,500 --> 03:20:24,200
right?
These are not like six by six

3617
03:20:24,200 --> 03:20:26,100
mounts.
These are good size.

3618
03:20:27,400 --> 03:20:31,400
You know, mounts and you it
takes man hours to get that

3619
03:20:31,400 --> 03:20:33,000
done.
Yeah.

3620
03:20:33,800 --> 03:20:36,600
I mean, in fact that we had the
head architect at the state of

3621
03:20:36,600 --> 03:20:42,000
Ohio, Actually, when we filmed
the last civilization of North

3622
03:20:42,000 --> 03:20:45,200
America documentary, he actually
said that the amount of Labor

3623
03:20:45,200 --> 03:20:47,300
that was required to build the
Mounds at the mound.

3624
03:20:47,300 --> 03:20:49,800
Builders built could be could be
easily.

3625
03:20:51,700 --> 03:20:56,200
As big as big as or more than
that labor, that was required to

3626
03:20:56,200 --> 03:21:00,200
build the Great Pyramids of Giza
in Egypt or the Great Wall of

3627
03:21:00,200 --> 03:21:03,800
China, right?
He said that the amount of

3628
03:21:03,800 --> 03:21:09,100
physical labor that was required
is is really second to none.

3629
03:21:09,800 --> 03:21:13,800
To build over the these over a
million Mounds, they're talking

3630
03:21:13,800 --> 03:21:15,100
about here.
Wow.

3631
03:21:15,100 --> 03:21:17,400
Now, the kind of continue on,
with the Buffalo.

3632
03:21:17,400 --> 03:21:20,600
Basically, it could the Buffalo
would be a witness at the Book

3633
03:21:20,600 --> 03:21:23,000
of Mormon talked about plants
and animals in the Book of

3634
03:21:23,000 --> 03:21:26,900
Mormon and here in Enos.
Now this is an es.

3635
03:21:26,900 --> 03:21:29,600
So by this time the lamanites
have gotten to be a pretty big

3636
03:21:29,600 --> 03:21:33,600
you know population, right.
There's that a lot of people

3637
03:21:33,600 --> 03:21:35,800
here.
This is a moving, you know, a

3638
03:21:35,800 --> 03:21:38,700
lot of people around and
bookmarks says that they became

3639
03:21:38,700 --> 03:21:41,600
a wild to talk about the lane
and I hear it became a while and

3640
03:21:41,600 --> 03:21:44,800
a ferocious and a bloodthirsty
people full of my tree and

3641
03:21:44,800 --> 03:21:47,700
filthiness being upon Beast of
prey and dwelling intense and

3642
03:21:47,700 --> 03:21:49,500
wandering around in the
wilderness with a short skin

3643
03:21:49,500 --> 03:21:51,800
girl about their lawns, their
heads are shaving their skills

3644
03:21:51,800 --> 03:21:53,300
at the bow, in the cemetery in
the accident.

3645
03:21:53,300 --> 03:21:55,400
Many of them did nothing but
what was wrong meat.

3646
03:21:55,400 --> 03:21:58,900
If you break that down for just
a second there, feeding Prime

3647
03:21:58,900 --> 03:22:02,300
beast of great dwelling intense
wandering around in the

3648
03:22:02,308 --> 03:22:05,500
wilderness.
Okay, and they did eat nothing

3649
03:22:05,500 --> 03:22:09,400
but it was but Rob meat.
Let me ask a question, Dave.

3650
03:22:10,400 --> 03:22:17,300
If you are that say 100,000 or
even 50,000, you know, lame and

3651
03:22:17,300 --> 03:22:21,300
I's and everybody's eating
nothing but raw meat and you and

3652
03:22:21,300 --> 03:22:24,400
you're down in Central America.
What are you eating?

3653
03:22:26,900 --> 03:22:29,800
Because yeah.
The biggest animal they have

3654
03:22:29,808 --> 03:22:32,600
down there is a taper.
Yeah it appear.

3655
03:22:32,600 --> 03:22:38,200
And it appear basically is like
a pig, which number one Hebrew

3656
03:22:38,200 --> 03:22:40,300
people.
They're living the laws of Moses

3657
03:22:40,300 --> 03:22:43,400
wouldn't even touch it, much
less eat it because it's an

3658
03:22:43,400 --> 03:22:46,300
unclean animal, if in the pig
family, right?

3659
03:22:47,400 --> 03:22:49,700
And then I mean that's a lot of
monkeys.

3660
03:22:49,700 --> 03:22:52,700
Oh, by the way but monkeys are
never mentioned in the Book of

3661
03:22:52,700 --> 03:22:55,800
Mormon.
Neither one is iguana is a

3662
03:22:55,808 --> 03:22:57,600
reptiles, you wouldn't need them
either.

3663
03:22:57,600 --> 03:23:01,800
So they're they're literally is
nothing in Central America.

3664
03:23:01,800 --> 03:23:05,900
That could support a population
of people who are living on

3665
03:23:05,900 --> 03:23:08,200
nothing but raw meat.
Right.

3666
03:23:08,200 --> 03:23:12,000
But nevertheless here, in North
America, let me ask you how well

3667
03:23:12,000 --> 03:23:13,900
does this describe the Plains
Indians?

3668
03:23:15,100 --> 03:23:21,100
Very dwelling, intense, also
known as teepees wandering about

3669
03:23:21,100 --> 03:23:22,900
the Wilderness.
They were following, the course

3670
03:23:22,900 --> 03:23:26,800
of the Beast, following the
migratory patterns of these

3671
03:23:26,800 --> 03:23:30,600
animals and and nothing but
Romney.

3672
03:23:30,600 --> 03:23:33,700
I thought well, Romney's kind of
discussing thing, I mean gosh,

3673
03:23:33,700 --> 03:23:35,600
where they go up there and it
kills something to go up and

3674
03:23:35,600 --> 03:23:39,600
start nine on the, you know,
there's still quivering the

3675
03:23:39,600 --> 03:23:46,400
animal know How did the planes?
Indians prepare their food.

3676
03:23:47,300 --> 03:23:50,500
They dried, it didn't they?
They dried it in the wind,

3677
03:23:50,500 --> 03:23:52,200
right?
It was cooked.

3678
03:23:52,900 --> 03:23:55,700
If it's not cooked, that means
it's technically still raw,

3679
03:23:55,700 --> 03:23:56,600
right?
Right.

3680
03:23:56,600 --> 03:24:00,600
It's called jerky, right?
They're eating jerky.

3681
03:24:00,600 --> 03:24:02,000
Yeah.
Okay.

3682
03:24:02,900 --> 03:24:06,800
I can see.
Yeah, so here we have but if

3683
03:24:06,800 --> 03:24:11,500
you've got You know, 50,000 or
100,000 people and jerky.

3684
03:24:11,500 --> 03:24:14,200
You gotta have a lot of animals.
Yep.

3685
03:24:14,200 --> 03:24:16,200
And they need to be big animals.
Yep.

3686
03:24:16,200 --> 03:24:19,700
And 1800 pounds bull.
Buffalo can feed a lot of

3687
03:24:19,700 --> 03:24:20,700
people.
Yeah.

3688
03:24:20,700 --> 03:24:23,900
And according to the estimates,
they're between 30 and 60

3689
03:24:23,900 --> 03:24:26,400
million buffalo on the plane is
back in the 1800s.

3690
03:24:26,400 --> 03:24:28,600
Oh yeah.
Probably could have been less

3691
03:24:28,600 --> 03:24:31,300
than that earlier on.
But basically you're still have

3692
03:24:31,300 --> 03:24:33,800
millions upon millions of
animals and all you have to do

3693
03:24:33,800 --> 03:24:38,300
is basically follow the course
of the Beast which actually

3694
03:24:38,300 --> 03:24:39,800
talks about the dirt ice, we're
doing.

3695
03:24:39,800 --> 03:24:41,300
They were following the course
of the Beast.

3696
03:24:41,300 --> 03:24:46,300
Devourer the Bowery the animals
that fell by the way, right?

3697
03:24:46,300 --> 03:24:49,500
Right.
And then just another thing, so

3698
03:24:49,500 --> 03:24:52,100
yeah, but when they talked
about, you know, look at Captain

3699
03:24:52,100 --> 03:24:56,400
Moroni and the when he built
fortifications, they built a

3700
03:24:56,400 --> 03:25:03,500
ditch on the outside and then a
mound on the inside of it.

3701
03:25:03,508 --> 03:25:06,200
And then on top of that
mountain, they would put you

3702
03:25:06,200 --> 03:25:09,500
know, Palisade of Timbers And so
forth, they would create this,

3703
03:25:09,500 --> 03:25:12,400
this, this, this this wall of
Timbers around on the outside.

3704
03:25:12,400 --> 03:25:16,500
That's exactly what we find in
the this is eg squares in 1848

3705
03:25:16,500 --> 03:25:19,600
and the in his book on the
right.

3706
03:25:20,600 --> 03:25:25,600
I've the Western New York.
Yeah, but an original copy of

3707
03:25:25,608 --> 03:25:29,300
that book.
It's just fascinating hopeful

3708
03:25:29,300 --> 03:25:31,800
defenses.
These are now this is actually

3709
03:25:31,800 --> 03:25:35,000
not a defensive fortification
but this is actually in Newark

3710
03:25:35,000 --> 03:25:37,500
Ohio.
But, but look at this, he says,

3711
03:25:37,508 --> 03:25:41,000
in Alma chapter, 49 says, now,
behold the name of knights could

3712
03:25:41,000 --> 03:25:43,200
not get into their forts of
security by any other way,

3713
03:25:43,200 --> 03:25:46,200
except for the entrance because
of the highness of the bank,

3714
03:25:46,200 --> 03:25:48,900
which have been thrown up and
the depth of the ditch which

3715
03:25:48,900 --> 03:25:51,200
have been dug around about see
if it were by the entrance.

3716
03:25:52,200 --> 03:25:54,000
This is a place of entrance in
the great circle.

3717
03:25:54,000 --> 03:25:57,500
In Newark Ohio, this was not a
defensive place is a ceremonial

3718
03:25:57,500 --> 03:25:58,900
place but look at the ditch
there.

3719
03:25:58,900 --> 03:26:00,800
I'm standing in the Bible six
foot four.

3720
03:26:01,800 --> 03:26:05,900
And that, by the way, the bottom
of this, they found is actually

3721
03:26:05,900 --> 03:26:09,800
about six feet below where I'm
standing right there.

3722
03:26:09,800 --> 03:26:12,900
Because right, of course, if
Hundreds of years.

3723
03:26:12,900 --> 03:26:19,700
But yeah here actually this out
they found out that it was lined

3724
03:26:19,700 --> 03:26:23,800
by limestone's.
Holy I wish we had about four

3725
03:26:23,800 --> 03:26:26,600
hours to spend on this whole
thing that I mean I mean this

3726
03:26:26,608 --> 03:26:28,700
just just this one earthwork
right here.

3727
03:26:29,600 --> 03:26:32,500
When I take people on the tours
and actually let them see the

3728
03:26:32,500 --> 03:26:34,200
Earth.
Banks is still there exists

3729
03:26:34,200 --> 03:26:38,400
after 2000 years.
And this earthquake is really

3730
03:26:38,400 --> 03:26:42,900
special though, Dave because
this one is the earthquake is

3731
03:26:42,900 --> 03:26:46,200
its today.
Even today it is the largest

3732
03:26:46,200 --> 03:26:48,800
temple complex on the face of
the Earth.

3733
03:26:49,500 --> 03:26:53,800
For where Miles and extends.
So you talk about two miles by

3734
03:26:53,800 --> 03:26:56,800
two miles.
That's how big this giant

3735
03:26:56,800 --> 03:26:59,800
complex.
Is this Temple complex, don't

3736
03:26:59,800 --> 03:27:02,200
get Temple complex.
I'm gonna explain that.

3737
03:27:02,200 --> 03:27:05,900
Just a minute, But this is the
new records that they may have

3738
03:27:05,900 --> 03:27:09,800
appeared at about 8200.
This is actually from The

3739
03:27:09,800 --> 03:27:12,100
Visitor Center.
This is the mural on the wall of

3740
03:27:12,100 --> 03:27:16,200
the visitor center there.
And talking about this this

3741
03:27:16,200 --> 03:27:20,000
earthquake, but you see the
great big circle is octagon on

3742
03:27:20,000 --> 03:27:22,200
the distance.
There's another, there's another

3743
03:27:22,200 --> 03:27:25,100
there's a square and there's
another octagon up there.

3744
03:27:25,100 --> 03:27:32,000
This is actually A satellite
view of the great octagonal

3745
03:27:32,000 --> 03:27:33,800
portion of it.
So if you see up in the upper

3746
03:27:33,800 --> 03:27:38,900
left-hand corner, you see, this
is a, this is a David Wright.

3747
03:27:38,900 --> 03:27:43,900
He was the town surveyor for
Newark Ohio at the time and he

3748
03:27:43,900 --> 03:27:47,100
did this, he did this survey and
it was actually been served a

3749
03:27:47,100 --> 03:27:48,900
couple different times back in
the 1800s.

3750
03:27:49,700 --> 03:27:52,900
But this is the, the octagonal
portion of that, this is that

3751
03:27:52,900 --> 03:27:56,300
little part, just the octagonal
portion of that is an 18-hole

3752
03:27:56,300 --> 03:28:01,200
golf course today.
Oh, and that's just a little

3753
03:28:01,200 --> 03:28:05,100
part of that up in the upper
left-hand corner of it and you

3754
03:28:05,100 --> 03:28:10,700
have the other stuff there.
They found out that there's guy

3755
03:28:10,700 --> 03:28:15,100
by the name of a Hively and Horn
to guys from Earlham college.

3756
03:28:15,100 --> 03:28:18,400
And they, they wanted to
actually prove that you could

3757
03:28:18,400 --> 03:28:23,600
you could kind of make a claim
that any site is a is aligned to

3758
03:28:23,600 --> 03:28:28,500
the Sun or something like that.
Yeah because you can kind of

3759
03:28:28,508 --> 03:28:32,600
find something that would align
to you know some some place on

3760
03:28:32,600 --> 03:28:36,000
the horizon.
Basically what I'm down so they

3761
03:28:36,000 --> 03:28:39,600
are actually was doing this is
kind of a cynical thing.

3762
03:28:39,600 --> 03:28:43,200
They said you could kind of any
site as astronomically Alliance

3763
03:28:43,200 --> 03:28:47,600
sign You know, or sight?
So they actually went out there

3764
03:28:47,608 --> 03:28:50,500
to check it out and it couldn't
find a single solitary.

3765
03:28:50,500 --> 03:28:55,300
So what alignment out on the
horizon to any of these in

3766
03:28:55,300 --> 03:28:58,100
syteline of the structure?
And go.

3767
03:28:58,100 --> 03:29:01,100
What the heck?
Anyway, so they finally they had

3768
03:29:01,100 --> 03:29:03,200
somebody else to say, well what
have you checked it for the

3769
03:29:03,200 --> 03:29:05,400
Moon?
And when they checked it for the

3770
03:29:05,408 --> 03:29:11,600
Moon, it turns out that this the
gigantic complex here, has the

3771
03:29:11,600 --> 03:29:15,000
rise and set points of the Moon
and its entire 18 and a half

3772
03:29:15,000 --> 03:29:17,200
year lunar cycle.
Really.

3773
03:29:17,200 --> 03:29:22,000
It has alignment for everyone
that the minimum, a maximum rise

3774
03:29:22,000 --> 03:29:25,300
and set points of the Moon over
its entire 18 and a half of your

3775
03:29:25,300 --> 03:29:26,400
lunar cycle.
It is this.

3776
03:29:26,400 --> 03:29:31,200
They were astonished by the the
achievement of this thing.

3777
03:29:31,200 --> 03:29:34,700
This thing is as big as a golf
course and they basically make

3778
03:29:34,700 --> 03:29:38,900
it so that all of the you can
see the main lines there.

3779
03:29:38,900 --> 03:29:41,600
The minimum and maximum northern
and southern moon.

3780
03:29:41,600 --> 03:29:46,200
Rise and moon set points are all
have a alignments in this

3781
03:29:46,200 --> 03:29:49,900
gigantic structure.
But it gets even better than

3782
03:29:49,900 --> 03:29:52,200
that.
So this is the great circle

3783
03:29:52,200 --> 03:29:54,600
portion of it.
You see the house is over on the

3784
03:29:54,600 --> 03:29:57,200
left hand side?
Yeah, those are homes just for

3785
03:29:57,200 --> 03:29:58,800
scale.
Wow.

3786
03:30:00,000 --> 03:30:02,800
Okay, this thing is just massive
at.

3787
03:30:02,800 --> 03:30:04,800
This is an interesting one
because the ditch is on the

3788
03:30:04,800 --> 03:30:08,400
inside and on the outside its
opposite of what has been

3789
03:30:08,408 --> 03:30:11,600
described at the Book of Mormon
by Captain Moroni because this

3790
03:30:11,600 --> 03:30:15,600
was not a fortification.
This was a ceremonial Center.

3791
03:30:15,600 --> 03:30:17,700
Yeah.
Yep.

3792
03:30:17,700 --> 03:30:21,500
Okay yep.
And it turns out, and again, if

3793
03:30:21,500 --> 03:30:24,700
I had, if I had about four or
five more hours to spend on just

3794
03:30:24,700 --> 03:30:28,000
this one site right here we
would, I would it would just

3795
03:30:28,008 --> 03:30:31,700
blow your your people away
because this basically, you

3796
03:30:31,700 --> 03:30:34,900
know, we had Native Americans.
For example, that said that this

3797
03:30:34,900 --> 03:30:41,300
this site is a very sacred site.
And the, the ditch used to be

3798
03:30:41,300 --> 03:30:46,600
originally was full of water.
So, what you basically have

3799
03:30:46,600 --> 03:30:48,100
remember when Christ was with
Nicodemus.

3800
03:30:48,100 --> 03:30:50,500
Yep.
And Nicodemus, asked Christ, he

3801
03:30:50,500 --> 03:30:54,400
says crisis the Nicodemus.
Unless a man be born again, you

3802
03:30:54,400 --> 03:30:57,700
cannot, and the kingdom of
heaven Nicodemus is answer was,

3803
03:30:57,700 --> 03:31:00,200
how can men enter again into the
womb?

3804
03:31:00,200 --> 03:31:02,600
How was it even possible?
Right, right?

3805
03:31:02,600 --> 03:31:05,800
Well, this particular case, this
is a this this is a

3806
03:31:05,808 --> 03:31:11,000
representation of a fluid.
Yep, there's one opening

3807
03:31:11,000 --> 03:31:14,000
actually looks a lot like a
cervix surprisingly.

3808
03:31:15,000 --> 03:31:20,500
Upon the facing the East okay.
You can see the museum is just

3809
03:31:20,500 --> 03:31:22,300
on the very edge of the image
here.

3810
03:31:22,300 --> 03:31:25,100
Just a portion of the the Museum
of a sitting there.

3811
03:31:25,108 --> 03:31:28,800
You see the parking lot, just
below that on the right hand

3812
03:31:28,800 --> 03:31:31,900
side.
But then this is massive thing,

3813
03:31:31,900 --> 03:31:35,500
they have, it was it was lined
with limestones and they, and

3814
03:31:35,500 --> 03:31:38,200
they did that specifically so it
would hold water.

3815
03:31:40,000 --> 03:31:42,700
Holy cow.
So when you go into, when you go

3816
03:31:42,700 --> 03:31:46,000
into this, there was a big, they
call Eagle Mountain but it's

3817
03:31:46,000 --> 03:31:48,000
actually like a longhouse setup.
They actually did.

3818
03:31:48,000 --> 03:31:50,900
I archaeological work on this
back in the 1980s?

3819
03:31:51,700 --> 03:31:54,900
They found it was a long
rectangular structure that had

3820
03:31:54,900 --> 03:31:59,300
three chambers within it and
they found again don't have time

3821
03:31:59,300 --> 03:32:01,000
to go into details of what they
found in there.

3822
03:32:01,008 --> 03:32:04,700
But one one of the chambers was
actually had a ring of white

3823
03:32:04,700 --> 03:32:07,900
stones.
And it was filled with about two

3824
03:32:07,900 --> 03:32:11,600
inches of pure white sand and
the white stones came from

3825
03:32:11,600 --> 03:32:14,600
Tennessee and the white sand
came from Florida.

3826
03:32:15,700 --> 03:32:20,000
Holy cow.
They hold it up there to Ohio to

3827
03:32:20,000 --> 03:32:25,300
build this massive structure.
There's just hunter-gatherers it

3828
03:32:25,300 --> 03:32:31,100
just it can't Society with some
Echoes.

3829
03:32:31,100 --> 03:32:34,000
That should be very familiar to
us as Mormons.

3830
03:32:34,700 --> 03:32:36,900
Well, and this is where it's
going to get even more

3831
03:32:36,900 --> 03:32:39,100
incredible here for just a
second.

3832
03:32:39,108 --> 03:32:42,300
So we had that, so Wayne May and
I were taking people out to see

3833
03:32:42,308 --> 03:32:45,400
this site for years.
This is a Newark, Ohio is still

3834
03:32:45,400 --> 03:32:47,700
there, right?
Right now, not all of the site

3835
03:32:47,700 --> 03:32:48,900
is still there.
A lot of it's been, you know,

3836
03:32:48,908 --> 03:32:52,100
paved over and housing
developments and so forth over

3837
03:32:52,100 --> 03:32:53,600
it.
But the great octagon, the great

3838
03:32:53,600 --> 03:32:55,000
circle portion of, it are still
there.

3839
03:32:55,000 --> 03:32:58,000
You can go and visit.
So it has this Eagle Mountain in

3840
03:32:58,000 --> 03:33:00,400
the middle of it.
When you when you go to Eagle

3841
03:33:00,400 --> 03:33:02,200
Mound.
Basically if you do some

3842
03:33:02,200 --> 03:33:05,100
ceremonial things there, okay,
let's just say that, you're

3843
03:33:05,100 --> 03:33:08,500
let's say you were doing and
downman session, for example, or

3844
03:33:08,500 --> 03:33:12,900
something like that, right?
Or or maybe crisis, just

3845
03:33:12,900 --> 03:33:15,200
teaching you about the creation,
right?

3846
03:33:15,200 --> 03:33:19,400
The existence and so forth.
So you go out there, you do some

3847
03:33:19,400 --> 03:33:22,900
ordinances and so forth, when
you would leave, you would leave

3848
03:33:22,900 --> 03:33:27,100
off to the right hand side, go
out the East entrance.

3849
03:33:28,600 --> 03:33:32,400
And there and and thereby, you
are symbolically being your

3850
03:33:32,400 --> 03:33:36,300
leaving, the womb, if you will.
You're being born again?

3851
03:33:36,300 --> 03:33:41,400
Yep.
So you have that now, let me

3852
03:33:41,408 --> 03:33:43,600
see.
So I want to see what's up.

3853
03:33:43,600 --> 03:33:46,600
Okay, so yeah, so I need to kind
of just follow up with this.

3854
03:33:46,600 --> 03:33:51,100
So this this is an overall, this
is the the Smithsonian when they

3855
03:33:51,100 --> 03:33:57,500
came out and they did the the
surveys on this on this 2000

3856
03:33:57,500 --> 03:34:01,800
year old complex.
So it's a dates right into the

3857
03:34:01,800 --> 03:34:05,200
Book of Mormon time frames
basically that we think that

3858
03:34:05,200 --> 03:34:10,100
possibly the jaredites may have
originally built it and then the

3859
03:34:10,100 --> 03:34:12,500
Nephites came in and actually
kind of alternate, it kind of

3860
03:34:12,500 --> 03:34:16,000
remodeled it so to speak.
Gotcha, there's so much.

3861
03:34:16,008 --> 03:34:17,900
Oh my gosh.
I mean, we could, we could go

3862
03:34:17,908 --> 03:34:19,600
for literally hours on this
thing.

3863
03:34:19,600 --> 03:34:21,800
I'll tell you what.
You have four hours?

3864
03:34:21,800 --> 03:34:26,400
You let me know.
I will make time because it's I

3865
03:34:26,400 --> 03:34:27,600
dig on this.
Yeah.

3866
03:34:27,600 --> 03:34:31,400
The only time I go into this
kind of detail, I'm gonna have

3867
03:34:31,400 --> 03:34:33,500
time to go into this kind of
details when we're actually on

3868
03:34:33,500 --> 03:34:35,900
their tours when we're actually
standing out there at the site

3869
03:34:35,900 --> 03:34:39,100
where I can point to things.
And show you this and show you

3870
03:34:39,100 --> 03:34:40,000
that and so forth.
That's really.

3871
03:34:40,008 --> 03:34:43,200
If you ever get a chance to come
with me on a tour, Dave that

3872
03:34:43,200 --> 03:34:45,600
would be, it would be
phenomenal, we'd love it.

3873
03:34:45,600 --> 03:34:48,300
We may, we may have to talk
later and I may have to just

3874
03:34:48,300 --> 03:34:52,400
book a tour.
You know, I pay you and and

3875
03:34:52,400 --> 03:34:56,500
bring my people out to see this
because this is something that

3876
03:34:56,500 --> 03:34:58,700
we need to look at this is this
is fascinating.

3877
03:34:58,700 --> 03:35:01,600
Let me show you this though
because it's so.

3878
03:35:01,600 --> 03:35:04,100
So when I were taking people out
there for several years, right?

3879
03:35:04,100 --> 03:35:10,100
We have this lady came out who's
a Jewish symbolism expert.

3880
03:35:10,100 --> 03:35:11,900
And she started looking at this
thing.

3881
03:35:11,900 --> 03:35:14,200
She said, oh, okay.
Now a couple things that so when

3882
03:35:14,200 --> 03:35:17,100
it comes down to geometric
features, you know a circle is

3883
03:35:17,100 --> 03:35:21,200
representation of eternal life
eternity forever, those kinds of

3884
03:35:21,208 --> 03:35:24,200
Concepts right, right.
But a square on the other hand,

3885
03:35:24,200 --> 03:35:27,400
or a rectangle has four corners
talks about the scriptures, the

3886
03:35:27,400 --> 03:35:28,900
four corners of the Earth,
right?

3887
03:35:28,900 --> 03:35:31,100
Right.
He says that's a representation

3888
03:35:31,100 --> 03:35:34,500
of the Earth.
Okay, so this Earth life is what

3889
03:35:34,500 --> 03:35:37,000
it's talking about when the,
when you have representation

3890
03:35:37,000 --> 03:35:40,300
with, with four corners with the
rectangular or whatever an

3891
03:35:40,300 --> 03:35:43,700
octagon, on the other hand, is
a, is an intermediary.

3892
03:35:43,700 --> 03:35:46,900
It is the perfect geometric
configuration between a circle

3893
03:35:46,908 --> 03:35:49,400
and a square.
So if you have a circle over

3894
03:35:49,400 --> 03:35:53,900
here and a square over here, an
octagon is the intermediate

3895
03:35:53,900 --> 03:35:56,000
right?
Metric configuration, right.

3896
03:35:56,000 --> 03:35:58,300
Yep.
Interestingly enough the Octagon

3897
03:35:58,300 --> 03:36:02,200
is also happens to be the
beginning the the primary

3898
03:36:02,200 --> 03:36:06,100
geometric configuration of the
what they call the the Seal of

3899
03:36:06,100 --> 03:36:07,900
Melchizedek.
Yep.

3900
03:36:07,900 --> 03:36:09,300
You ever heard the Seal of
Malcolm?

3901
03:36:09,300 --> 03:36:10,000
I know.
Yep.

3902
03:36:10,000 --> 03:36:11,200
Yep.
Okay.

3903
03:36:11,200 --> 03:36:13,300
Yep.
Okay.

3904
03:36:13,300 --> 03:36:16,500
And of course, the Seal of
Melchizedek is really the Seal

3905
03:36:16,500 --> 03:36:20,600
of Christ because the original,
the original name of the priest,

3906
03:36:20,600 --> 03:36:23,500
it was the Holy order after the
Son of God, right?

3907
03:36:23,500 --> 03:36:26,300
Was changed to Melchizedek
because they didn't want to have

3908
03:36:26,300 --> 03:36:29,300
to overdo the use of the name of
God.

3909
03:36:29,300 --> 03:36:32,900
And so they made that if you
realize that that's actually the

3910
03:36:32,900 --> 03:36:41,400
name of Christ basically, the
his Christ did And so now a

3911
03:36:41,400 --> 03:36:44,600
couple other quick things number
one is that Hebrew is read from

3912
03:36:44,600 --> 03:36:49,200
right to left right instead of
left to right so when you are

3913
03:36:49,200 --> 03:36:52,800
doing Hebrew stuff you usually
want to start in the upper right

3914
03:36:52,800 --> 03:36:56,600
hand corner to work around, but
that always gonna go in a

3915
03:36:56,600 --> 03:36:59,900
counterclockwise rotation when
you're looking at stuff, right?

3916
03:36:59,900 --> 03:37:04,100
So if you look at this at this
earthworm and you start from the

3917
03:37:04,100 --> 03:37:08,600
bottom right hand side, which is
where the circle is right there,

3918
03:37:08,600 --> 03:37:11,800
that's the great circle.
Okay, and you see how it kind of

3919
03:37:11,808 --> 03:37:13,900
comes out if you if you're in
the great circle and you come

3920
03:37:13,908 --> 03:37:16,600
out of the entrance, the opening
of the great circle.

3921
03:37:16,600 --> 03:37:19,900
You go into kind of a pathway.
Yep.

3922
03:37:19,900 --> 03:37:23,000
Then that pathway leads to
another pathway but the two

3923
03:37:23,000 --> 03:37:26,100
Pathways don't quite connect.
They're pointing at each other

3924
03:37:26,100 --> 03:37:28,400
but they don't connect the other
pathway.

3925
03:37:28,400 --> 03:37:31,200
The secondary pathway goes up
into a square.

3926
03:37:31,900 --> 03:37:33,200
Right.
Okay.

3927
03:37:33,200 --> 03:37:36,500
And then from that square, if
you go counterclockwise again,

3928
03:37:36,500 --> 03:37:39,700
you have one path that goes up
to kind of a little holding

3929
03:37:39,700 --> 03:37:41,200
place there and it kind of dead
ends.

3930
03:37:41,200 --> 03:37:45,100
Yep, you have a second one over
on the corner there, where it

3931
03:37:45,100 --> 03:37:47,800
basically comes up and it has a
holding place and it goes up to

3932
03:37:47,800 --> 03:37:51,800
unfortunately, this Raccoon
Creek has flooded that out and

3933
03:37:51,800 --> 03:37:55,300
kind of destroyed that area
before the surveyors got there,

3934
03:37:55,300 --> 03:37:57,800
okay?
So we're not sure if that, if

3935
03:37:57,800 --> 03:38:00,000
that connected up to that thing
that looks sort of like a big

3936
03:38:00,000 --> 03:38:03,600
road, right?
And then you have the third

3937
03:38:03,600 --> 03:38:06,600
thing, coming out of the square
on the, on the left hand side of

3938
03:38:06,600 --> 03:38:09,900
the square and it comes out.
And it goes into, like, this

3939
03:38:09,900 --> 03:38:14,100
road thing that goes around
this, this big manmade pond

3940
03:38:14,100 --> 03:38:17,700
essentially a man, a man-made
lake Wright was originally

3941
03:38:17,700 --> 03:38:20,900
there.
Okay, and then those two both

3942
03:38:20,900 --> 03:38:23,800
converge over to the Octagon,
right?

3943
03:38:24,700 --> 03:38:29,000
Okay, then you have the octagon
and then from the Octagon, you

3944
03:38:29,000 --> 03:38:32,700
basically have this narrow neck
thing that goes over and hooks

3945
03:38:32,700 --> 03:38:34,800
up to the circle.
Right?

3946
03:38:34,800 --> 03:38:39,700
And as we and as and as we were
showing her, this Jewish

3947
03:38:39,700 --> 03:38:43,400
symbolism expert, basically
said, okay.

3948
03:38:43,400 --> 03:38:46,300
So the circles are
representation of Eternity

3949
03:38:46,300 --> 03:38:49,500
eternal life forever, those
kinds of things.

3950
03:38:50,400 --> 03:38:52,800
You have the square
representation of the earth.

3951
03:38:52,800 --> 03:38:55,700
You have the octagons
representation of Christ.

3952
03:38:56,900 --> 03:39:01,000
And all said we started to put
it together like, oh my gosh.

3953
03:39:01,800 --> 03:39:05,500
The temple complex.
Temple complex.

3954
03:39:05,500 --> 03:39:08,300
But this get this.
Let me ask you a quick question

3955
03:39:08,300 --> 03:39:12,400
today.
The Plan of Salvation as

3956
03:39:12,400 --> 03:39:16,100
outlined by Joseph Smith, right?
Nobody other religions.

3957
03:39:16,100 --> 03:39:18,400
Share that with us.
Whoo.

3958
03:39:19,600 --> 03:39:23,400
First Christianity none.
Yeah, it's us.

3959
03:39:23,400 --> 03:39:28,000
It is unique and all of all of
not just Christianity.

3960
03:39:28,000 --> 03:39:32,500
It's Unique in the entire world,
holy cow Muslims.

3961
03:39:32,500 --> 03:39:38,700
The you know, the the Hindus
none of them have the Plan of

3962
03:39:38,700 --> 03:39:40,000
Salvation as we understand it,
right?

3963
03:39:40,000 --> 03:39:42,600
And that's what that's mapping
out right there.

3964
03:39:43,800 --> 03:39:47,600
This has the entire Plan of
Salvation in proper order.

3965
03:39:47,600 --> 03:39:50,700
If you start with the lower
right hand corner.

3966
03:39:50,700 --> 03:39:53,600
Yeah, you start that?
That's the pre-existence.

3967
03:39:53,600 --> 03:39:56,900
Yep.
Okay. that's a pre-existence

3968
03:39:56,900 --> 03:39:59,900
when we leave the pre-existence
we go out through our mother's

3969
03:39:59,900 --> 03:40:05,000
womb, right into the path, that
leads to the Earth, but between

3970
03:40:05,000 --> 03:40:09,700
the Earth and the pre-existing
There's a juxtaposition

3971
03:40:09,700 --> 03:40:13,000
basically we have a veil of
forgetfulness.

3972
03:40:13,000 --> 03:40:16,700
We don't remember the
pre-existence because of this

3973
03:40:16,700 --> 03:40:21,200
this alternate path, right?
You go into this other alternate

3974
03:40:21,200 --> 03:40:24,100
path that takes you into the
Earth life, then from the earth

3975
03:40:24,100 --> 03:40:26,300
life, if you have three
different ways out, number one?

3976
03:40:26,300 --> 03:40:29,600
Yes, Spirit prison.
Right.

3977
03:40:30,800 --> 03:40:32,900
Which is kind of a dead end
right there, right?

3978
03:40:32,900 --> 03:40:34,200
Yep.
Preach the gospel.

3979
03:40:34,200 --> 03:40:36,800
So forth there then the second
one is you have a spirit

3980
03:40:36,800 --> 03:40:41,700
Paradise When Christ was with
the was hanging on the cross, he

3981
03:40:41,700 --> 03:40:43,500
says, did you know?
Today, you'll be with me in

3982
03:40:43,500 --> 03:40:44,600
Paradise to the robber guy,
right?

3983
03:40:44,608 --> 03:40:47,800
We know that paradise is
different than what the Catholic

3984
03:40:47,800 --> 03:40:50,300
church and Christianity believes
Paradise is right.

3985
03:40:50,300 --> 03:40:54,600
Right, it's a whole big place.
Okay, but why is it a holding

3986
03:40:54,600 --> 03:40:56,300
place?
Because at some point, people

3987
03:40:56,300 --> 03:41:01,600
have to have their ordinances
done to be able to get back to

3988
03:41:01,600 --> 03:41:04,800
the presence of God, right.
But there's a third one here.

3989
03:41:04,800 --> 03:41:08,100
The third one is those who are
born under the Covenant or

3990
03:41:08,100 --> 03:41:10,700
basically receive their
covenants while they're on the

3991
03:41:10,700 --> 03:41:12,600
earth.
You check that you see that big

3992
03:41:12,600 --> 03:41:15,900
kind of a three-quarter circle
thing, that's kind of connected

3993
03:41:15,900 --> 03:41:19,400
onto that path.
Yep, that was a big.

3994
03:41:19,400 --> 03:41:25,500
It's not a mount is actually
it's a it's a ring with a kind

3995
03:41:25,500 --> 03:41:29,800
of a low place in the center and
a mound around the outside edges

3996
03:41:29,800 --> 03:41:32,500
of it.
Holy cow, that's a, that's a

3997
03:41:32,508 --> 03:41:36,400
checkpoint.
You go from the from Earth, you

3998
03:41:36,400 --> 03:41:39,600
go to that checkpoint.
And if you and if you've had all

3999
03:41:39,600 --> 03:41:42,100
of your ordinances accomplished
while I on the earth and you

4000
03:41:42,100 --> 03:41:44,400
have basically, you notice
there's no other Tech points

4001
03:41:44,400 --> 03:41:46,600
going along that path until you
get over to the Octagon.

4002
03:41:46,600 --> 03:41:49,900
Yep.
But on the one up above it, that

4003
03:41:49,900 --> 03:41:55,800
is connected to the the, the
spirit Paradise that path has

4004
03:41:55,800 --> 03:41:57,900
checked marks, all along that.
You see that?

4005
03:41:57,900 --> 03:42:02,300
Yeah, I do, yep.
So this this is the vicarious

4006
03:42:02,300 --> 03:42:07,200
route. so, there's the direct
route for those who have Their

4007
03:42:07,200 --> 03:42:08,600
ordinances done.
Well on the earth.

4008
03:42:08,600 --> 03:42:11,300
Then you have a vicarious route
for those who didn't have their

4009
03:42:11,300 --> 03:42:14,000
own, that's done on the earth
that has to be done, you know,

4010
03:42:14,008 --> 03:42:17,900
for them right.
So baptism for the dead and so

4011
03:42:17,900 --> 03:42:20,200
forth, right?
But ultimately both of them lead

4012
03:42:20,200 --> 03:42:22,100
over to the Octagon which is
Christ.

4013
03:42:24,100 --> 03:42:25,500
And then you have to go into the
Octagon.

4014
03:42:25,500 --> 03:42:29,100
There's no other way to get into
the big other Circle and that

4015
03:42:29,100 --> 03:42:31,000
except for you go through the
Octagon.

4016
03:42:31,000 --> 03:42:34,500
So, lays out the whole Plan of
Salvation complete with temple

4017
03:42:34,500 --> 03:42:38,100
theology, Yeah.
Wow and then front.

4018
03:42:38,100 --> 03:42:41,300
So then so then from from from
Christ and the only way you can

4019
03:42:41,300 --> 03:42:45,800
get to the Celestial Kingdom,
basically, if you will, which is

4020
03:42:45,800 --> 03:42:49,800
the other with the other Circle,
the other forever, it eternity

4021
03:42:49,800 --> 03:42:52,700
and those kinds of Concepts is
you have to go through the

4022
03:42:52,700 --> 03:42:55,100
Octagon.
So the only way you can get back

4023
03:42:55,100 --> 03:42:58,700
to God is through Christ.
This also then shows basically

4024
03:42:58,700 --> 03:43:02,000
the celestial the terrestrial
and the telestial kingdoms.

4025
03:43:02,000 --> 03:43:05,900
It's all in the correct order.
You have a vicarious route, you

4026
03:43:05,900 --> 03:43:10,200
have a direct route.
You have the the pre-existence

4027
03:43:10,200 --> 03:43:13,300
and it's all mapped out in the
largest temple complex on the

4028
03:43:13,300 --> 03:43:16,900
earth even today.
And this was made to 2000 years

4029
03:43:16,900 --> 03:43:19,200
ago.
Holy cow.

4030
03:43:22,500 --> 03:43:28,400
So, there you go. you know, so
so tell me that this isn't You

4031
03:43:28,400 --> 03:43:30,700
know, this isn't directed by
God.

4032
03:43:30,700 --> 03:43:32,400
Yeah.
Oh my goodness.

4033
03:43:32,400 --> 03:43:35,800
Yeah, this this is crazy, right.
I mean, this is the moon rise

4034
03:43:35,800 --> 03:43:39,400
Moon points of the, of this of
this complex.

4035
03:43:39,400 --> 03:43:41,900
Of course, why is the moon
important?

4036
03:43:41,900 --> 03:43:45,000
Well, according to the Book of
Mormon, when the, the last, The

4037
03:43:45,000 --> 03:43:48,400
Last Jedi Knight was was came
wandering into the Nephites.

4038
03:43:48,400 --> 03:43:52,000
Basically, this coriander, he
says he was discovered by the

4039
03:43:52,008 --> 03:43:53,700
people.
Is there a hamlet with them with

4040
03:43:53,700 --> 03:43:58,300
the space of Nine minutes.
Which tells you that the Book of

4041
03:43:58,300 --> 03:44:00,500
Mormon people were telling time
based on lunar cycles.

4042
03:44:00,500 --> 03:44:04,400
This Hopewell Builder complexes
on lunar cycles.

4043
03:44:04,400 --> 03:44:08,200
Yeah.
Native Americans to this day

4044
03:44:08,200 --> 03:44:13,200
are, you know, are two things
based on the moon So, you know,

4045
03:44:13,208 --> 03:44:16,100
and the right, where's the moon,
why is the moon cycle even

4046
03:44:16,100 --> 03:44:18,500
important?
Yeah, a 28-day moon cycle.

4047
03:44:18,500 --> 03:44:22,000
If you divide that by four, That
gives you?

4048
03:44:22,900 --> 03:44:24,600
Four weeks of seven days.
Each?

4049
03:44:24,600 --> 03:44:26,900
How hard is it?
Then to figure out when the

4050
03:44:26,900 --> 03:44:28,900
Sabbath is?
Oh, yeah.

4051
03:44:29,800 --> 03:44:33,300
Oh yeah, so yeah, so you need a
seven day calendar.

4052
03:44:33,300 --> 03:44:36,000
So you can observe the Sabbath
and have your seven days.

4053
03:44:37,400 --> 03:44:40,100
Of, you know, six days of
working one day off for rest for

4054
03:44:40,100 --> 03:44:43,000
your Sabbath.
And if you use it a lunar

4055
03:44:43,000 --> 03:44:44,700
calendar system, it's easy to do
it.

4056
03:44:44,700 --> 03:44:47,700
The Mayans don't have a
seven-day calendar system.

4057
03:44:47,700 --> 03:44:49,400
They had the law encounter, the
short count.

4058
03:44:49,400 --> 03:44:52,200
Neither one of them are
divisible by seven you.

4059
03:44:52,200 --> 03:44:57,800
There's no way to really keep
track of a seven-day Sabbath

4060
03:44:57,800 --> 03:45:00,500
cycle.
Yeah, hold my calendar.

4061
03:45:01,600 --> 03:45:05,700
Oh, So what about evidence is
the president get the gate

4062
03:45:05,700 --> 03:45:07,000
right?
God and so forth that are in

4063
03:45:07,000 --> 03:45:09,300
mesoamerica because Mason
America definitely does have

4064
03:45:09,300 --> 03:45:11,100
that.
Now this paint is really

4065
03:45:11,100 --> 03:45:15,000
fascinating pain.
Wait, may have that an art

4066
03:45:15,000 --> 03:45:18,700
colleges spend his, that came to
church with him and in the foyer

4067
03:45:18,700 --> 03:45:21,300
of the church, was this
painting, right standing there?

4068
03:45:21,300 --> 03:45:25,300
Basically, what clearly is made
so America and the and the

4069
03:45:25,300 --> 03:45:27,600
archaeologists basically told
Wayne says, well, you know, you

4070
03:45:27,600 --> 03:45:29,500
never told me that Christ came
twice to the Nephites.

4071
03:45:29,500 --> 03:45:35,000
He says, well, he must have come
twice because this is depicting

4072
03:45:35,000 --> 03:45:37,600
Christ.
Coming into the fights and

4073
03:45:37,600 --> 03:45:39,700
they're in the background is
chips and eats and chips and

4074
03:45:39,700 --> 03:45:41,500
eats, it wasn't even till 900
ad.

4075
03:45:42,600 --> 03:45:45,900
Right?
So so he must have come another

4076
03:45:45,900 --> 03:45:49,300
time a second time, right.
You know?

4077
03:45:49,308 --> 03:45:52,700
And I mean, just like, Oh, Come,
Oh yeah.

4078
03:45:52,700 --> 03:45:56,200
Yeah, you're predicting stuff.
That isn't historically accurate

4079
03:45:56,200 --> 03:45:57,800
at all, right?
And it's also in the wrong

4080
03:45:57,800 --> 03:46:01,400
place, but then, but the Christ
in third Nephi, says other sheep

4081
03:46:01,400 --> 03:46:04,400
I have, which are not of this
land, meaning here in America.

4082
03:46:04,400 --> 03:46:08,500
Neither the land of Jerusalem,
neither any parts of the land

4083
03:46:08,500 --> 03:46:10,000
around about whether I've been
to minister.

4084
03:46:10,000 --> 03:46:14,200
So, basically Christ said that
his father had commanded him to

4085
03:46:14,200 --> 03:46:17,600
go to other sheep, right?
So there's so there's other

4086
03:46:17,600 --> 03:46:20,300
other sheep.
And so, and I understand it is

4087
03:46:20,308 --> 03:46:23,900
that when Christ was with the he
was with the Jews, then he came

4088
03:46:23,900 --> 03:46:28,400
to the heartland of America.
My personal thought is, is that

4089
03:46:28,400 --> 03:46:32,000
it would make the most sense for
Christ to come to the biggest

4090
03:46:32,000 --> 03:46:36,100
temple, complex at the Hopewell,
Builders Aether it's ever built.

4091
03:46:37,600 --> 03:46:41,300
which would be then in Ohio, So
he's there in Ohio with them.

4092
03:46:41,300 --> 03:46:46,800
And then he says and and and
God, my father has commanded me

4093
03:46:46,800 --> 03:46:48,200
to go to all these other sheep
too.

4094
03:46:48,208 --> 03:46:50,100
Right?
Well what's the chances that

4095
03:46:50,100 --> 03:46:52,400
Christ is going to follow his
father and actually do that

4096
03:46:52,400 --> 03:46:55,000
which makes sense.
Then why you have The Feathered

4097
03:46:55,000 --> 03:46:58,300
Serpent and all the stuff cuts
and koala and things done in

4098
03:46:58,300 --> 03:46:59,800
Central America?
Yeah absolutely.

4099
03:46:59,800 --> 03:47:03,500
And not only that we do know
that Michigan coppers been found

4100
03:47:03,500 --> 03:47:08,600
in Central America, right?
And anytime you have that kind

4101
03:47:08,600 --> 03:47:11,300
of trade, you also have
cross-pollination of ideas,

4102
03:47:11,300 --> 03:47:17,100
right?
And so there's not that

4103
03:47:17,100 --> 03:47:21,300
obviously a dead giveaway, the
other sheep, but then you, you

4104
03:47:21,300 --> 03:47:25,100
know, again have crossed
pollination of ideas as well as

4105
03:47:25,100 --> 03:47:28,000
trading going on.
I would expect to see crossover,

4106
03:47:28,000 --> 03:47:31,200
right?
You get back, like you've seen

4107
03:47:31,200 --> 03:47:34,300
the people I visited when I was
trading for the copper, right?

4108
03:47:34,300 --> 03:47:38,100
They had this, you know, idea of
a white God, right?

4109
03:47:38,100 --> 03:47:41,400
And then it gets told over and
over again, you get it.

4110
03:47:42,400 --> 03:47:45,600
Yeah, yeah.
So I mean the primary building

4111
03:47:45,600 --> 03:47:49,500
materials the book of Roman
talked about and he yeah, this

4112
03:47:49,500 --> 03:47:53,500
is another thing that just this
just absolutely incredible when

4113
03:47:53,500 --> 03:47:56,900
it comes down to now.
So what did they use as their

4114
03:47:56,900 --> 03:47:59,500
primary building material?
That says, the people who are in

4115
03:47:59,500 --> 03:48:02,100
land northward dwell in tents
and houses cement.

4116
03:48:02,800 --> 03:48:06,400
Um okay then we need to we need
to talk about this man but the

4117
03:48:06,400 --> 03:48:07,900
stuff I don't know.
We don't have time.

4118
03:48:07,900 --> 03:48:10,100
I think we're running out of
time for this but basically they

4119
03:48:10,100 --> 03:48:12,700
did several whatsoever Tricia
spring up on the face the land.

4120
03:48:12,700 --> 03:48:16,600
As you grow up that in time they
might have what Timber to build

4121
03:48:16,600 --> 03:48:18,400
what their houses.
Okay?

4122
03:48:18,400 --> 03:48:22,900
And they're cities.
Wait a minute, yeah temples

4123
03:48:23,600 --> 03:48:25,700
Yeah.
Well hold on, just a second

4124
03:48:25,700 --> 03:48:27,600
here.
Then meso America.

4125
03:48:27,600 --> 03:48:29,400
The temple is not built out of
Timber.

4126
03:48:29,400 --> 03:48:34,600
They're built at a stone, right?
Right there in the book of

4127
03:48:34,600 --> 03:48:36,200
mermaid.
Do you have any buildings?

4128
03:48:37,000 --> 03:48:38,800
That are said to be made out of
stone.

4129
03:48:39,800 --> 03:48:43,500
Zero not one not even one, the
only thing.

4130
03:48:43,500 --> 03:48:45,800
In fact, the only time it talks
about stone is a building

4131
03:48:45,800 --> 03:48:48,200
materials when it says they
build, they build walls of

4132
03:48:48,200 --> 03:48:51,500
stone.
But here we have a helmet that

4133
03:48:51,500 --> 03:48:54,000
they said, that the temples are
made out of Timber and their

4134
03:48:54,000 --> 03:48:56,300
synagogues and they're sanctuary
and all men are their buildings.

4135
03:48:57,600 --> 03:48:59,400
And Samantha's.
Another interesting one because

4136
03:48:59,400 --> 03:49:01,900
that I'll just just address this
cementing real quick.

4137
03:49:01,900 --> 03:49:08,500
You know, cement basically is
the mixture of of slave line,

4138
03:49:08,500 --> 03:49:11,200
basically, and sand, right?
And some gravel to something

4139
03:49:11,200 --> 03:49:17,000
does not last very well in
Northern climates cement down in

4140
03:49:17,000 --> 03:49:19,300
Central America, Mesa America
will last for almost

4141
03:49:19,300 --> 03:49:21,300
indefinitely.
And the reason why there's a

4142
03:49:21,300 --> 03:49:24,600
difference is because you don't
have freezing and find Cycles.

4143
03:49:24,600 --> 03:49:28,300
Now Central America it never
goes below freezing, right?

4144
03:49:29,500 --> 03:49:33,100
So submit down there will last
forever practically.

4145
03:49:33,100 --> 03:49:36,100
But what happens is cement here
in the northern climates?

4146
03:49:36,100 --> 03:49:41,800
Well, You know, my house in
Provo, you know the the house

4147
03:49:41,800 --> 03:49:44,900
was only that was about 40 years
old or something like that, but

4148
03:49:44,900 --> 03:49:48,600
I was gonna have to replace the
entire driveway because it's

4149
03:49:48,600 --> 03:49:52,700
spelled so badly that the
surface basically gone.

4150
03:49:52,700 --> 03:49:56,000
In Northern climates where you
have water comes in at

4151
03:49:56,000 --> 03:49:57,500
penetrates into the cement
itself.

4152
03:49:57,500 --> 03:50:00,500
Cement is very poorest, the
water gets in there, it freezes

4153
03:50:00,500 --> 03:50:04,600
it, expands it breaks.
This cement up and literally

4154
03:50:04,600 --> 03:50:06,600
over the course of about 100
years.

4155
03:50:06,600 --> 03:50:10,800
Since gonna be completely
destroyed, you want even friend,

4156
03:50:10,800 --> 03:50:14,100
except for you, just find the
constituent, you know, like the

4157
03:50:14,100 --> 03:50:18,600
sand and the gravel but it won't
be a cohesive cement slide more,

4158
03:50:18,600 --> 03:50:20,100
right?
The reason why we have to

4159
03:50:20,100 --> 03:50:24,500
replace even submit overpasses
and stuff in our Highway systems

4160
03:50:24,500 --> 03:50:26,600
every 15 or 20 years.
They got to be replaced.

4161
03:50:26,600 --> 03:50:29,300
Yep, yes.
And that's not the last in the

4162
03:50:29,300 --> 03:50:32,300
northern climate.
Well, and all these structures

4163
03:50:32,300 --> 03:50:35,800
are made out of wood too rod.
They'll break down, right?

4164
03:50:35,800 --> 03:50:38,500
They'll break down.
So, this idea that we should go

4165
03:50:38,500 --> 03:50:42,300
in and, you know, in these
cities and these temples We

4166
03:50:42,300 --> 03:50:46,900
should expect to find structures
not necessarily right wood

4167
03:50:46,900 --> 03:50:49,500
breaks down rather quickly.
Yeah not at all.

4168
03:50:49,500 --> 03:50:52,700
In fact if a tree falls down in
the forest some places usually

4169
03:50:52,700 --> 03:50:56,200
about 15 or 20 years maximum and
that tree is gone.

4170
03:50:56,200 --> 03:51:00,500
It just it rots, it decays you
know you know the small insects

4171
03:51:00,500 --> 03:51:03,100
and so forth.
Get in there and they rip it up

4172
03:51:03,100 --> 03:51:06,300
and basically again freezing
signs Cycles when it gets wet

4173
03:51:06,300 --> 03:51:09,800
and it freezes and thaws and
back and forth.

4174
03:51:09,800 --> 03:51:13,600
And basically just the wood
breaks down within you know 20

4175
03:51:13,600 --> 03:51:16,400
30 years most of the time a lot
will be gone, especially smaller

4176
03:51:16,400 --> 03:51:20,000
ones, you know bigger lines me
take maybe 50 years but still

4177
03:51:20,000 --> 03:51:21,900
not going to last a thousand
years.

4178
03:51:21,900 --> 03:51:26,600
Know and that here we have even
the most Bodacious building of

4179
03:51:26,600 --> 03:51:29,300
the Book of Mormon is talked
about is that is the the Grand

4180
03:51:29,300 --> 03:51:32,600
Palace of King.
Noah it says he built him a

4181
03:51:32,608 --> 03:51:35,600
spacious Palace and thrown in
the midst of all of it was a

4182
03:51:35,600 --> 03:51:37,100
fine wood.
Yep.

4183
03:51:37,900 --> 03:51:41,200
Yep, that's the stone.
Yeah, there's no mental Stone.

4184
03:51:41,200 --> 03:51:44,900
They're not all in this, right?
So if this is the easiest way to

4185
03:51:44,908 --> 03:51:48,700
destroy a neat bite City.
Know how would you destroy it?

4186
03:51:48,700 --> 03:51:51,600
If it's a, if it's made out of
wood, you burn it.

4187
03:51:52,900 --> 03:51:55,100
Is there any indication of
burning happening in the Book of

4188
03:51:55,108 --> 03:51:56,100
Mormon?
Yes, there is.

4189
03:51:57,100 --> 03:52:00,300
A lot a lot.
Yeah, they bring their cities.

4190
03:52:00,300 --> 03:52:05,700
How do you burn a stone pyramid?
I mean, I'm an eagle scout and I

4191
03:52:05,700 --> 03:52:07,900
know that rocks.
Do not burn that.

4192
03:52:07,900 --> 03:52:10,300
Well, yeah, yep.
Yep.

4193
03:52:10,300 --> 03:52:11,100
You got burn it.
Yeah.

4194
03:52:11,100 --> 03:52:14,700
No, that makes sense.
Yeah, I don't even hearing says

4195
03:52:14,700 --> 03:52:18,900
that we the anybody who wasn't
gathered in, they were destroyed

4196
03:52:18,900 --> 03:52:21,100
by the late nights, their tails
and their Villages and their

4197
03:52:21,100 --> 03:52:22,300
cities were all burned with
fire.

4198
03:52:22,300 --> 03:52:25,800
It tells you that they were made
out of what.

4199
03:52:25,800 --> 03:52:27,500
Yep.
All right.

4200
03:52:27,508 --> 03:52:30,100
And then this is the only
mention of a wall of stone in

4201
03:52:30,100 --> 03:52:34,000
the Book of Mormon, the single
reference to use of the building

4202
03:52:34,000 --> 03:52:35,600
materials and how much chapter
48.

4203
03:52:37,000 --> 03:52:38,500
Says it.
They were throwing up Banks of

4204
03:52:38,500 --> 03:52:41,000
Earth around about the armies
and also building walls of

4205
03:52:41,000 --> 03:52:43,400
stone.
So we would expect to find some

4206
03:52:43,400 --> 03:52:46,100
walls of stone if the Book of
Mormon is correct, but we

4207
03:52:46,100 --> 03:52:48,400
wouldn't expect to find temples
made out of stuff.

4208
03:52:49,100 --> 03:52:50,900
Yeah, that's not in the Book of
Mormon.

4209
03:52:51,500 --> 03:52:55,300
That I think he mentioned before
we went to talk about medals and

4210
03:52:55,300 --> 03:52:56,900
so forth a little bit but then
anyway.

4211
03:52:56,900 --> 03:53:00,300
So here we have the currents of
Hopewell interaction, sphere raw

4212
03:53:00,300 --> 03:53:04,100
materials, Hopewell sites.
These are just these are just a

4213
03:53:04,100 --> 03:53:08,200
few sites but basically talking
about copper was founded 167

4214
03:53:08,200 --> 03:53:12,000
Saints and eight regions.
Silver found 32 sites and seven

4215
03:53:12,000 --> 03:53:14,600
regions.
I iron is found in 15 sites in

4216
03:53:14,608 --> 03:53:16,900
three regions.
Truth.

4217
03:53:17,900 --> 03:53:20,400
Yeah, so these are these are
head plates and breastplate.

4218
03:53:20,400 --> 03:53:24,900
In order to make iron you have
to have smelting furnaces in

4219
03:53:24,900 --> 03:53:26,800
Ohio.
There's there's there's there's

4220
03:53:26,808 --> 03:53:31,200
dozens of smelting furnaces that
and and the archaeologists Dave,

4221
03:53:31,200 --> 03:53:35,000
they will not even come and look
at it, they refuse to do it.

4222
03:53:36,200 --> 03:53:39,400
It doesn't surprise me as I've
read number of the church.

4223
03:53:39,400 --> 03:53:41,800
Yeah, non-members of the church
have tried to do.

4224
03:53:41,808 --> 03:53:45,100
In fact, they've got that.
There's a guy that for years, he

4225
03:53:45,100 --> 03:53:50,100
located these sites and found
high temperature glazing on

4226
03:53:50,100 --> 03:53:52,400
rocks.
Like you see in this image right

4227
03:53:52,400 --> 03:53:57,000
here, the the image up in the
upper right hand upper left hand

4228
03:53:57,000 --> 03:54:00,600
side in the lower right hand
side is actually two sides of

4229
03:54:00,600 --> 03:54:03,200
the same brick.
It's a brick.

4230
03:54:03,200 --> 03:54:06,100
That was part of a copper
smelting furnace the entire

4231
03:54:06,100 --> 03:54:10,800
front surface of that against
the against the molten copper is

4232
03:54:10,800 --> 03:54:14,000
infused with copper and the back
end of it is just part of the

4233
03:54:14,000 --> 03:54:16,000
brick.
I mean, it's just, it's just

4234
03:54:16,000 --> 03:54:19,700
phenomenal.
This is a, this is a an iron ax

4235
03:54:19,700 --> 03:54:24,900
head that was found still in its
mold and June 30th of 2003 in

4236
03:54:24,900 --> 03:54:28,400
Chillicothe Ohio.
But they literally dug up this.

4237
03:54:28,400 --> 03:54:31,400
This this it looked like a big
Stone but it was really heavy.

4238
03:54:31,400 --> 03:54:35,600
It's like abnormally dense and
so I took it they they took a

4239
03:54:35,600 --> 03:54:40,600
sledges ball sledgehammer and
just hit it to try to just break

4240
03:54:40,600 --> 03:54:43,500
it up and they thought it was a
stone and instead it wasn't a

4241
03:54:43,500 --> 03:54:45,600
stone at all.
It was actually it was a ceramic

4242
03:54:45,600 --> 03:54:49,000
mold and on the inside of the
ceramic mold, is that iron ax

4243
03:54:49,000 --> 03:54:53,400
head that had been poured?
Yeah, as molten iron into the

4244
03:54:53,400 --> 03:54:56,100
mold.
That's what you're seeing there

4245
03:54:56,100 --> 03:54:59,500
on the right hand side.
Now, they talked about in the

4246
03:54:59,500 --> 03:55:02,700
book where they talked about
we've seen the spread upon the

4247
03:55:02,708 --> 03:55:06,500
face of the land.
And they had machinery and iron

4248
03:55:06,500 --> 03:55:11,600
and copper, and brass and steel.
And here are actual artifacts of

4249
03:55:11,600 --> 03:55:18,000
the Hope album people with with
gold copper and on silver iron

4250
03:55:18,000 --> 03:55:19,900
again.
It's not going to last because

4251
03:55:19,900 --> 03:55:21,300
it's going to rust away.
Right?

4252
03:55:21,300 --> 03:55:23,900
Right.
But yes, it's an interesting

4253
03:55:23,900 --> 03:55:29,000
factor and it actually found
brass along with some some other

4254
03:55:29,000 --> 03:55:31,800
artifacts when they dug up the
back Creek Stone.

4255
03:55:32,600 --> 03:55:35,300
But this is actually a silver
bracelet.

4256
03:55:35,300 --> 03:55:36,800
You see that?
Yep.

4257
03:55:36,800 --> 03:55:38,200
Yep.
Copper bracelet.

4258
03:55:38,200 --> 03:55:43,500
It's been completely plated buy
silver and according to the The

4259
03:55:43,500 --> 03:55:47,100
people that actually dug this up
back in the late 1800s, early

4260
03:55:47,100 --> 03:55:51,300
early 1900s, they said that they
that the silver is not just

4261
03:55:51,300 --> 03:55:56,000
plated around the copper, it's
actually been, it was a copper

4262
03:55:56,000 --> 03:56:00,800
bracelet that had been dipped in
molten silver. wow, so the

4263
03:56:00,800 --> 03:56:06,000
plating isn't just You know,
just taking silver and smashing

4264
03:56:06,000 --> 03:56:10,100
it, flat and rolling it over the
copper, it was actually plated

4265
03:56:10,100 --> 03:56:13,800
with silver.
There's, there's that, I mean,

4266
03:56:13,808 --> 03:56:16,200
we could go into these copper
medallions and so forth.

4267
03:56:16,200 --> 03:56:19,000
The silver are spools, and so
forth that they had.

4268
03:56:19,000 --> 03:56:22,300
No, of course, gold artifacts
are harder to come by.

4269
03:56:22,300 --> 03:56:24,900
And part of the reason is, it's
because if you're, if you're a

4270
03:56:24,900 --> 03:56:30,400
1800 farmer and you happen on to
some pieces of some artifacts of

4271
03:56:30,400 --> 03:56:33,100
gold, when you think the
chances, are you going to give

4272
03:56:33,100 --> 03:56:35,100
that to Smithsonian rather than
right?

4273
03:56:35,100 --> 03:56:38,400
Where, that's the currency of
the day?

4274
03:56:38,400 --> 03:56:42,400
Yeah, that's a bonus.
That's your Christmas bonus

4275
03:56:42,400 --> 03:56:44,200
right there.
Exactly.

4276
03:56:44,200 --> 03:56:47,600
I mean, you gotta go buy
yourself a new horse or a team

4277
03:56:47,600 --> 03:56:49,300
of horses.
You're not gonna, you're gonna

4278
03:56:49,300 --> 03:56:51,700
take that goal, and give it to
the Smithsonian and get nothing

4279
03:56:51,700 --> 03:56:54,600
out of it.
It's on your land know.

4280
03:56:54,600 --> 03:56:56,400
So a lot of the goal just
disappeared.

4281
03:56:56,400 --> 03:56:59,400
But, you know, that talks about
they had the precious things,

4282
03:56:59,400 --> 03:57:02,200
their ornamented with gold, and
they had ringlets and confidence

4283
03:57:02,200 --> 03:57:04,600
and so forth.
All of that in the, in the

4284
03:57:04,600 --> 03:57:05,700
Hopewell Mound, but the
civilization.

4285
03:57:05,700 --> 03:57:09,200
Oh, yeah, I love this.
And now, one thing that we

4286
03:57:09,200 --> 03:57:11,800
didn't talk about at all, and
I'm just gonna just touch on it.

4287
03:57:11,800 --> 03:57:15,400
And as the plants and animals in
the book, I'm wearing Dave They

4288
03:57:15,400 --> 03:57:19,000
talked about, they had that they
had sheep to offer sacrifices.

4289
03:57:19,000 --> 03:57:22,500
In fact, this is some other
information that Amberly Nelson

4290
03:57:22,500 --> 03:57:27,400
was actually really involved in
in doing this research.

4291
03:57:27,400 --> 03:57:30,600
But we know that the book Mormon
people were practicing the laws

4292
03:57:30,600 --> 03:57:32,300
of Moses, right?
Right.

4293
03:57:33,700 --> 03:57:36,300
The laws of Moses require
certain animals and plants.

4294
03:57:36,900 --> 03:57:39,800
It's to live it.
You have to have sheep.

4295
03:57:39,800 --> 03:57:41,600
Yeah.
Have goats you need to have

4296
03:57:41,600 --> 03:57:45,400
grapes to make, you know, new
wine, basically, or even old

4297
03:57:45,400 --> 03:57:47,500
wine, okay?
We know, the Nephites, we're

4298
03:57:47,500 --> 03:57:50,500
making wine because they even
got the late nights, drunk a

4299
03:57:50,500 --> 03:57:51,600
couple times, right?
Right.

4300
03:57:51,600 --> 03:57:56,900
So, yeah, they have sheep time
for sacrifices.

4301
03:57:56,900 --> 03:58:04,000
You, you know, and God doesn't
really condone making, at least,

4302
03:58:04,008 --> 03:58:10,400
you know, that as a general rule
God, doesn't condone changing

4303
03:58:10,400 --> 03:58:12,700
your sacrifice.
I mean, how well did it work for

4304
03:58:12,700 --> 03:58:16,600
for your, for Kane, right
changing the ordinances?

4305
03:58:16,600 --> 03:58:19,200
Big, no, no.
Yeah, right.

4306
03:58:19,200 --> 03:58:21,000
And that's so you have to have
sheep.

4307
03:58:21,000 --> 03:58:22,900
You have to have ghosts, you
have to grapes wheat, you have

4308
03:58:22,908 --> 03:58:25,900
to have wheat and barley or see
me, you have that barley.

4309
03:58:25,900 --> 03:58:29,300
You don't have to have wheat to
live the laws of Moses, but they

4310
03:58:29,300 --> 03:58:33,800
just mentioned specifically, you
also had fine fine linen.

4311
03:58:35,300 --> 03:58:37,500
Which comes from the phone tax
plan.

4312
03:58:38,300 --> 03:58:41,700
You know, all of those pants and
animals that are specifically,

4313
03:58:41,700 --> 03:58:44,500
mentioned the Book of Mormon,
how many of them even existed in

4314
03:58:44,500 --> 03:58:47,400
Central America back in that
back in the ancient times,

4315
03:58:47,400 --> 03:58:49,800
probably none of them.
None of them.

4316
03:58:49,800 --> 03:58:54,400
There's no evidence for any
sheep, any goats any grapes.

4317
03:58:54,400 --> 03:58:56,300
Any Wheat?
Any barley?

4318
03:58:57,300 --> 03:59:01,000
Those things are not even wheat
and barley won't even grow down

4319
03:59:01,000 --> 03:59:02,400
in Central America because it's
the wrong climate.

4320
03:59:02,400 --> 03:59:04,500
You need a tent or more
temperate climate, right?

4321
03:59:04,500 --> 03:59:08,200
But all of those things, every
animal and plant that's

4322
03:59:08,200 --> 03:59:11,200
mentioned the Book of Mormon is
not only indigenous, but we have

4323
03:59:11,200 --> 03:59:13,500
it in the archaeological record
that they had it.

4324
03:59:13,500 --> 03:59:16,400
For example, here's a goat horn,
made out of copper.

4325
03:59:17,200 --> 03:59:20,200
Made by the Hopewell Mound bill
that people we have male

4326
03:59:20,200 --> 03:59:22,400
breastplates.
How many male breastplates have

4327
03:59:22,400 --> 03:59:24,800
been found in Central America
that dated Into the Book of

4328
03:59:24,800 --> 03:59:26,600
Mormon time frames.
None zero.

4329
03:59:28,300 --> 03:59:29,900
There hasn't been a single hand
plate.

4330
03:59:30,700 --> 03:59:33,700
This is that this one in about
right hand corner is kind of

4331
03:59:33,700 --> 03:59:36,300
interesting.
This is a breastplate but it's

4332
03:59:36,300 --> 03:59:39,000
kind of covered over with these
these beets.

4333
03:59:39,000 --> 03:59:43,800
It turns out that these beads
are actually pearls And

4334
03:59:43,800 --> 03:59:45,900
freshwater pearls.
These people were so

4335
03:59:45,900 --> 03:59:49,000
sophisticated that they were
actually they would actually

4336
03:59:49,000 --> 03:59:52,100
flood areas and they and they
would they were actively

4337
03:59:52,100 --> 03:59:53,900
growing.
These freshwater pearls.

4338
03:59:53,900 --> 03:59:58,000
Some of these Hopewell sites had
as many as 10,000 pearls in and

4339
03:59:58,000 --> 04:00:01,800
one of the burials, okay?
They had site now, for example,

4340
04:00:02,600 --> 04:00:05,400
Breastplates and the Book of
Mormon.

4341
04:00:05,400 --> 04:00:07,900
These are breast plates in the
hopeful interaction sphere

4342
04:00:07,900 --> 04:00:11,100
breast for found a 22 sites in
three regions, had places found

4343
04:00:11,100 --> 04:00:13,400
in nine sites in three regions,
holy cow.

4344
04:00:14,600 --> 04:00:17,100
There's never been a single
breastplate or head plate found

4345
04:00:17,100 --> 04:00:19,000
in Central America in the Book
of Mormon.

4346
04:00:19,000 --> 04:00:21,700
Timeframes, these are all
Hopewell and Hopewell people and

4347
04:00:21,700 --> 04:00:23,700
that, and the Hope was what her
we're saying.

4348
04:00:23,700 --> 04:00:28,500
They were the Nephites the the
lamanites didn't build cities,

4349
04:00:28,500 --> 04:00:31,500
right.
Did you ever realize that they

4350
04:00:31,500 --> 04:00:34,200
wandered about in the wilderness
they were, they were in the

4351
04:00:34,200 --> 04:00:38,400
tents and TVs.
They were following the course

4352
04:00:38,400 --> 04:00:40,700
of the Beast, while the while
the knee fights were the the

4353
04:00:40,700 --> 04:00:43,900
cultural agriculture,
agricultural people that

4354
04:00:43,900 --> 04:00:45,300
agrarians, right?
Right.

4355
04:00:46,200 --> 04:00:48,000
So they needed to have like
these, you know, these

4356
04:00:48,000 --> 04:00:50,600
breastplates here's a copper
breastplate, still on the guy's

4357
04:00:50,600 --> 04:00:52,400
head.
Holy cow.

4358
04:00:53,400 --> 04:00:58,700
This is from from 1936, okay.
Another guy.

4359
04:00:58,700 --> 04:01:01,700
And that guy's got a breastplate
sitting there next to him as

4360
04:01:01,700 --> 04:01:03,700
well, and as well as some are
sports and stuff.

4361
04:01:03,700 --> 04:01:06,700
This is that, look at look at
what they call this thing.

4362
04:01:08,100 --> 04:01:10,000
Hopewell.
They call it ahead play.

4363
04:01:10,000 --> 04:01:15,700
Oh wow.
This this best place kind of a

4364
04:01:15,700 --> 04:01:18,000
cold one.
This is another another cool and

4365
04:01:18,000 --> 04:01:20,700
these are copper breastplates.
This one I think is really

4366
04:01:20,700 --> 04:01:23,000
fascinating because this is the
one that has the beads on it,

4367
04:01:23,000 --> 04:01:26,300
but we're girls Why is that
significant?

4368
04:01:27,400 --> 04:01:31,100
Forth need for chapter one and
now there's 205 first year,

4369
04:01:31,100 --> 04:01:32,400
they're began to be amending
them.

4370
04:01:32,400 --> 04:01:34,900
Those were lifted up in Pride
such as the wearing of costly

4371
04:01:34,900 --> 04:01:41,700
apparel and all manner of fine
pearls, holy cow, that's a bull

4372
04:01:41,700 --> 04:01:45,200
Define things of the world.
That's a lot.

4373
04:01:46,000 --> 04:01:49,700
I mean here we got a metal
breastplate with pearls on it

4374
04:01:49,700 --> 04:01:53,100
just like the book of Roman
describes and oh man we could go

4375
04:01:53,108 --> 04:01:57,500
into the the laws of the laws of
the Moses here and the you know

4376
04:01:57,508 --> 04:02:00,100
they have the festivals.
Oh my gosh.

4377
04:02:00,100 --> 04:02:03,400
Just awesome.
You know, the the animals and

4378
04:02:03,400 --> 04:02:06,200
the book mermen and animals and
Mason America, they don't line

4379
04:02:06,200 --> 04:02:07,500
up.
At all.

4380
04:02:08,500 --> 04:02:10,300
There's not even one really that
matches up.

4381
04:02:11,800 --> 04:02:13,800
Yeah, here in North America.
We've got goats, we've got

4382
04:02:13,800 --> 04:02:16,800
sheep.
Fact, there's, there's ancient

4383
04:02:16,800 --> 04:02:21,100
not ancient, but that's a sheep.
Rams horns, which are also used

4384
04:02:21,100 --> 04:02:23,400
for so far's by the Jews.
Yep.

4385
04:02:23,400 --> 04:02:26,600
You need to have a hollow horn
made out of collagen.

4386
04:02:26,600 --> 04:02:28,200
Yeah.
And that's, of course what that

4387
04:02:28,200 --> 04:02:35,300
to do at a A show fire but they
would blow at during each of

4388
04:02:35,300 --> 04:02:38,000
these.
Holy staff symbols and so forth.

4389
04:02:38,000 --> 04:02:41,000
I mean, there's a shofar in the
book of one.

4390
04:02:41,008 --> 04:02:44,000
They talked about, they had land
scams about their loins and that

4391
04:02:44,000 --> 04:02:45,900
wasn't just a few.
And this is when the gaddi aunt

4392
04:02:45,900 --> 04:02:47,800
and robbers were hanging out,
right?

4393
04:02:47,800 --> 04:02:51,100
And they and this is now this is
a fascinating part of it, too.

4394
04:02:51,100 --> 04:02:53,700
Why would they choose a lamp
skin?

4395
04:02:53,700 --> 04:02:57,500
There are probably more deer.
They could have used a deer skin

4396
04:02:57,500 --> 04:03:00,300
easier faster.
I mean be more of them or

4397
04:03:00,300 --> 04:03:04,200
possibly even elk skin or I mean
they were moose back in those

4398
04:03:04,200 --> 04:03:08,000
time frames, right?
That's a different animals.

4399
04:03:08,000 --> 04:03:12,500
They could use why a lamp.
And the answer to that is

4400
04:03:12,500 --> 04:03:16,200
because the lamb is is integral
to their entire ability to

4401
04:03:16,200 --> 04:03:19,500
repent of their sins.
It's part of the laws of Moses.

4402
04:03:19,500 --> 04:03:24,300
They have to have a land and of
course is known as the Lamb of

4403
04:03:24,300 --> 04:03:25,700
God, right?
Yep.

4404
04:03:25,700 --> 04:03:29,700
And he's as a like he's going
like a lamb to the slaughter and

4405
04:03:29,700 --> 04:03:30,800
so yeah right.
Yep.

4406
04:03:31,200 --> 04:03:33,200
I sew this lamb is a really
important thing.

4407
04:03:33,200 --> 04:03:36,800
Apparently, the knee fights were
living.

4408
04:03:36,800 --> 04:03:39,000
The laws of Moses.
They needed these Lambs to

4409
04:03:39,000 --> 04:03:42,900
actually be able to repent.
So if you are getting out and

4410
04:03:42,900 --> 04:03:46,100
robber and you want to basically
really intimidate and not only

4411
04:03:46,108 --> 04:03:50,100
that, but you want to mock their
religion, you would use the lamb

4412
04:03:50,100 --> 04:03:52,900
again.
You're gonna kill the Lambs, you

4413
04:03:52,900 --> 04:03:58,600
put them on your loins, right?
And you did not only you denying

4414
04:03:58,600 --> 04:04:01,400
the Nephites the ability to
offer sacrifices.

4415
04:04:01,400 --> 04:04:04,800
You're also basically thumbing
your nose at their religion.

4416
04:04:04,800 --> 04:04:06,300
Yep.
Yep.

4417
04:04:06,300 --> 04:04:09,100
I can see the correlation there.
You're mocking their religion.

4418
04:04:09,100 --> 04:04:10,700
Yeah.
Killing the lands.

4419
04:04:10,700 --> 04:04:13,600
But guess, guess how many lamps
have been found in Central

4420
04:04:13,600 --> 04:04:16,300
America zero?
No sheep.

4421
04:04:17,600 --> 04:04:20,600
No sheep but all but here we
have in North America these are

4422
04:04:20,600 --> 04:04:22,800
artifacts.
What is that sort of look like?

4423
04:04:24,300 --> 04:04:29,600
What does that look like?
It looks like a Ram or looks

4424
04:04:29,600 --> 04:04:34,700
like a Ram with horns and that
the face of profile is this is a

4425
04:04:34,700 --> 04:04:36,400
profile of a sheep.
Clearly, look at that one.

4426
04:04:36,400 --> 04:04:37,800
Yep.
Wow.

4427
04:04:37,800 --> 04:04:42,100
These are all Hopewell artifacts
looking like lambs and they have

4428
04:04:42,100 --> 04:04:44,600
the copper goat horns and so
forth.

4429
04:04:44,600 --> 04:04:48,400
I just proper Gore horn here in
on display there.

4430
04:04:48,400 --> 04:04:52,200
So the plant the plants and
button and the Book of Mormon

4431
04:04:52,200 --> 04:04:55,300
talked about barley wheat, corn,
seam and NEOS and Vineyards and

4432
04:04:55,308 --> 04:04:59,200
grapes and so forth.
Those plants don't exist in

4433
04:04:59,200 --> 04:05:02,500
Central America.
No, no, not even there.

4434
04:05:02,500 --> 04:05:07,400
So, so the right.
And the question that Amber Lee

4435
04:05:07,400 --> 04:05:11,700
would ask is why would God send
his Covenant people to a

4436
04:05:11,700 --> 04:05:17,000
Promised Land That.
He was requiring them to live

4437
04:05:17,000 --> 04:05:19,900
the laws of Moses and yet they
couldn't possibly do it because

4438
04:05:19,900 --> 04:05:22,400
the plants and animals that are
required to live, a lot of Moses

4439
04:05:22,400 --> 04:05:24,900
don't even exist there, makes no
sense.

4440
04:05:24,900 --> 04:05:28,000
Yep.
So it's just interesting, you

4441
04:05:28,000 --> 04:05:31,300
know, so in wheat here, found by
the Norris around 818, you know,

4442
04:05:31,308 --> 04:05:34,900
1000 add, you know, barley was
a, was a prominent crop among

4443
04:05:34,900 --> 04:05:36,400
the Hopewell Mound bill is in
Illinois.

4444
04:05:36,400 --> 04:05:39,500
Okay.
Barley's important to their to

4445
04:05:39,500 --> 04:05:41,100
their calendar system.
I don't have time to explain all

4446
04:05:41,100 --> 04:05:42,300
that but it's really
fascinating.

4447
04:05:42,300 --> 04:05:45,500
How barley is actually a part of
their calendar system and you

4448
04:05:45,508 --> 04:05:46,700
have to have barley to keep
your.

4449
04:05:46,700 --> 04:05:49,800
If you're on a lunar base
calendar system, you're always

4450
04:05:49,800 --> 04:05:52,900
going to be off of the solar
base calendar system.

4451
04:05:52,900 --> 04:05:55,300
So you need to know when the
solar system is so, you know,

4452
04:05:55,300 --> 04:05:58,500
when to print plant and when to
harvest and stuff, gotcha, well,

4453
04:05:58,500 --> 04:06:00,800
that's all gonna get messed up.
If you don't have barely, like I

4454
04:06:00,800 --> 04:06:03,400
don't have time to explain that.
But they talked about having

4455
04:06:03,400 --> 04:06:05,500
immense.
Herds of cows is from Champlain

4456
04:06:05,500 --> 04:06:09,600
grapes and Vineyards for the
kudosh cup which is part of the

4457
04:06:09,600 --> 04:06:11,300
laws of Moses you have to have
that.

4458
04:06:12,100 --> 04:06:16,900
Oh, Finland means the United
States.

4459
04:06:16,900 --> 04:06:19,300
The America was first called
Vinland.

4460
04:06:20,200 --> 04:06:23,900
Which means finally, And there's
three different kinds of grapes

4461
04:06:23,900 --> 04:06:26,600
that are indigenous to North
America, but not one of those is

4462
04:06:26,600 --> 04:06:31,900
indigenous to central America.
And you know, they kept a lot of

4463
04:06:31,908 --> 04:06:34,600
Moses, the holy the Sabbath day.
And again, you know, they have

4464
04:06:34,608 --> 04:06:38,000
the 20-day account.
And you have the third 13 Day,

4465
04:06:38,000 --> 04:06:40,300
Count, neither one of those are
divisible by seven.

4466
04:06:40,300 --> 04:06:44,200
You don't have any way to have a
seven-day consistent deal,

4467
04:06:44,200 --> 04:06:47,600
unless you're on a solid, on a
lunar base calendar system.

4468
04:06:47,600 --> 04:06:51,000
And of course the the Mayans
weren't weren't that way.

4469
04:06:51,000 --> 04:06:54,400
So, when it comes down to, you
know, all of the, the plants and

4470
04:06:54,400 --> 04:06:57,100
animals required to live the
laws of Moses, every one of them

4471
04:06:57,100 --> 04:07:01,700
is available in North America,
none of them except for Palms

4472
04:07:01,700 --> 04:07:03,600
are available in Central
America.

4473
04:07:04,700 --> 04:07:08,000
Pretty overwhelming.
Alex.

4474
04:07:08,000 --> 04:07:13,200
Look at Hopewell Mal Builder
pipes that were indicative of

4475
04:07:13,200 --> 04:07:16,100
the civilization clearly in the
shape of elephants.

4476
04:07:17,500 --> 04:07:20,200
You know, we have back in the
midwest, we have elephants all

4477
04:07:20,200 --> 04:07:23,600
over the place.
This this particular, masked on

4478
04:07:23,600 --> 04:07:27,100
I say, elephant, I'm talking
about elephants mastodons all

4479
04:07:27,100 --> 04:07:28,300
combined.
Yep.

4480
04:07:28,300 --> 04:07:31,700
Anyway, so this is this is
actually in the Ohio, history

4481
04:07:31,700 --> 04:07:35,600
connection. you know, there's
everywhere in the midwestern

4482
04:07:35,600 --> 04:07:39,800
part of the United States, there
are elephant remains I mean,

4483
04:07:39,808 --> 04:07:42,800
literally where'd you go in
Indiana or whatever?

4484
04:07:42,800 --> 04:07:46,200
We went to a called a place
called Big, Bone, Lick.

4485
04:07:46,200 --> 04:07:50,900
They've got elephant stuff there
and it kind of like, Libre tar,

4486
04:07:50,900 --> 04:07:53,600
pit, sort of, right?
This is Cafe because this has

4487
04:07:53,600 --> 04:07:55,900
been a big one for Against The
Book of Mormon.

4488
04:07:55,900 --> 04:07:59,700
What about horses?
And we could do a whole two-hour

4489
04:07:59,700 --> 04:08:01,700
presentation on horses in the
Book of Mormon.

4490
04:08:01,700 --> 04:08:05,200
But this is a pipe that was made
by the Hopewell mom that people

4491
04:08:05,200 --> 04:08:08,200
and what the that sort of look
like.

4492
04:08:09,100 --> 04:08:11,200
The head of that thing kind of
like a horse.

4493
04:08:12,300 --> 04:08:14,900
See that.
Yep, looks like a horse.

4494
04:08:16,100 --> 04:08:18,600
You put it over the top of the
stylized when like that.

4495
04:08:19,700 --> 04:08:22,200
It's pretty similar.
The only thing is where the bowl

4496
04:08:22,200 --> 04:08:25,600
is its head is kind of sunken in
right there because where the

4497
04:08:25,600 --> 04:08:28,400
Bold goes, but other than that,
it's actually pretty close.

4498
04:08:28,400 --> 04:08:32,500
Yeah, it is right.
A vultures are mentioned in the

4499
04:08:32,508 --> 04:08:35,300
Book of Mormon who we have
copper vultures by the hope of

4500
04:08:35,300 --> 04:08:37,700
Melbourne other people wolves or
talked about in The Book of

4501
04:08:37,700 --> 04:08:40,400
Mormon and we have wolves in
their pipes as well.

4502
04:08:40,408 --> 04:08:42,200
So we know that they had the
Wolves as well.

4503
04:08:42,208 --> 04:08:47,000
This is a dog or a wolf thing
that they made their here's that

4504
04:08:47,000 --> 04:08:51,500
cut wolf mandibles.
So these are actually both Jaws

4505
04:08:51,500 --> 04:08:54,700
that they found in Hopewell
mound builder site.

4506
04:08:54,700 --> 04:08:57,400
So we know that they knew about,
they had of known about wolves

4507
04:08:57,400 --> 04:09:00,000
and they specifically mention
him in the Book of Mormon.

4508
04:09:00,000 --> 04:09:01,400
But wolves are not found in
Central.

4509
04:09:01,400 --> 04:09:04,400
America coyotes are but not
wolves right?

4510
04:09:04,400 --> 04:09:08,200
This is a dog.
Wow.

4511
04:09:08,200 --> 04:09:12,500
Actually actual dog that was
buried along with other Hopewell

4512
04:09:12,500 --> 04:09:14,500
mound builder stuff, so we know
that they had dogs.

4513
04:09:14,500 --> 04:09:17,100
Of course, the book Mormon
talked about, like, you know, a

4514
04:09:17,100 --> 04:09:18,700
dog going back to its vomit or
something.

4515
04:09:18,708 --> 04:09:19,800
I think.
Yep talks about.

4516
04:09:19,808 --> 04:09:23,200
So, it talks about dogs, it had
a written language, that happens

4517
04:09:23,200 --> 04:09:26,100
to be Hebrew.
Like going to this for two more

4518
04:09:26,100 --> 04:09:29,700
hours about just these these
these snow the very comfortable

4519
04:09:29,700 --> 04:09:31,800
show.
But yet they're here, they are

4520
04:09:31,800 --> 04:09:35,500
Hebrew.
This is a keystone.

4521
04:09:37,000 --> 04:09:39,700
America on Earth.
One of the guys, not even a

4522
04:09:39,700 --> 04:09:41,700
member of our, you know, who he
is.

4523
04:09:41,700 --> 04:09:42,800
Yep.
Got Walter.

4524
04:09:42,800 --> 04:09:46,000
Yeah, he's actually an atheist
as I understand it.

4525
04:09:46,000 --> 04:09:49,400
But basically it's a frenzy
geologist and he did a study on

4526
04:09:49,400 --> 04:09:55,200
both of this, this this sound,
the the Ah, this is called the

4527
04:09:55,200 --> 04:09:58,600
decalogue Stone here and also
the Keystone and also the Back

4528
04:09:58,600 --> 04:10:02,400
Creek Stone. and he's looked at
all, three of them, and this is

4529
04:10:02,400 --> 04:10:05,600
what he said specifically about
the The.

4530
04:10:07,500 --> 04:10:11,600
Let's see which one was this?
This was the the decalogue

4531
04:10:11,600 --> 04:10:13,000
Stone.
He says, geologically.

4532
04:10:13,000 --> 04:10:15,400
I don't see any problems here,
that would make these things

4533
04:10:15,400 --> 04:10:17,600
obvious.
Hoaxes, the evidence seems

4534
04:10:17,600 --> 04:10:20,200
clear, there's no reason not to
accept these as genuine

4535
04:10:20,200 --> 04:10:23,500
legitimate artifacts and here
they are with Hebrew writing on

4536
04:10:23,500 --> 04:10:26,400
them.
In Hopewell builder stuff, he's

4537
04:10:26,400 --> 04:10:30,100
got no dog in this fight.
He got yeah, no, Darkness fight

4538
04:10:30,100 --> 04:10:32,600
back.
This is one of the best ones he

4539
04:10:32,600 --> 04:10:34,800
did.
It's, this is the Back Creek

4540
04:10:34,800 --> 04:10:36,500
Stone.
He actually looked at with a

4541
04:10:36,500 --> 04:10:39,900
scanning electron microscopy.
This was found by the

4542
04:10:39,900 --> 04:10:45,300
Smithsonian and official dig,
and, and then, then it was, it

4543
04:10:45,300 --> 04:10:48,400
was published in the Smithsonian
publication.

4544
04:10:48,400 --> 04:10:52,800
And then, like, 75 years later,
the publication was found by

4545
04:10:52,800 --> 04:10:56,900
this other lady Henrietta merch.
And she actually was looking at

4546
04:10:56,900 --> 04:10:59,900
the desk and she was looking at
upside down and she realized

4547
04:10:59,900 --> 04:11:02,900
that the Smithsonian had
published The Stone upside down.

4548
04:11:02,900 --> 04:11:07,100
The Smithsonian has said that
this was actually some kind of a

4549
04:11:07,100 --> 04:11:12,300
Paleo Cherokee script.
When you look at the Stony flip

4550
04:11:12,300 --> 04:11:15,100
it upside down, it's perfectly
legible Hebrew characters.

4551
04:11:18,300 --> 04:11:22,200
And anyway so that they became
controversial for 75 years.

4552
04:11:22,200 --> 04:11:24,900
It wasn't controversially only
became controversial when they

4553
04:11:24,908 --> 04:11:27,000
started to say oh there was
Hebrews here.

4554
04:11:27,900 --> 04:11:33,800
Yeah, yeah, that, yeah, yeah.
So when you put the whole thing

4555
04:11:33,800 --> 04:11:36,600
together, I mean, it's just
fascinating, you know, this,

4556
04:11:36,600 --> 04:11:41,300
that this this is another survey
by the Smithsonian on the, on

4557
04:11:41,300 --> 04:11:42,800
the right hand side there.
You see that one?

4558
04:11:42,800 --> 04:11:46,100
It looks kind of like a menorah,
like a menorah, right?

4559
04:11:46,100 --> 04:11:52,400
Yep, this is actually when it
was, it was Surveyed.

4560
04:11:52,400 --> 04:11:57,200
So it has how many feet like
that Menorah. 766 feet wide.

4561
04:11:57,200 --> 04:12:00,200
Wow.
That's seven foot football

4562
04:12:00,200 --> 04:12:02,400
fields wide right?
Or no these feet.

4563
04:12:02,400 --> 04:12:08,800
So that's um, yes about 100 feet
per Yeah football field.

4564
04:12:08,800 --> 04:12:10,600
So yeah that's about seven
football fields wide.

4565
04:12:11,300 --> 04:12:13,300
No.
Excuse me, it's 100 yards. 100

4566
04:12:13,300 --> 04:12:15,000
yards.
So 300 feet, so it's just over

4567
04:12:15,000 --> 04:12:17,600
two football fields long.
That's about two football fields

4568
04:12:17,600 --> 04:12:19,700
long.
So you know what, what would be

4569
04:12:19,708 --> 04:12:21,100
the reason for that?
I mean, look at that.

4570
04:12:21,100 --> 04:12:25,200
Each one of those.
Those things come down to a dead

4571
04:12:25,200 --> 04:12:29,100
end.
Right, there's no purpose for

4572
04:12:29,100 --> 04:12:30,800
that.
If you take a look at up above

4573
04:12:30,800 --> 04:12:34,100
on the top of that, whether that
look like looks like a lamp.

4574
04:12:34,900 --> 04:12:36,400
Yeah, look like an oil lamp.
Right.

4575
04:12:36,400 --> 04:12:39,100
Yep.
It also has a couple of other

4576
04:12:39,108 --> 04:12:41,500
symbols that are kind of
interesting just to the left of

4577
04:12:41,500 --> 04:12:44,400
the oil lamp.
Is it is a compass.

4578
04:12:46,200 --> 04:12:49,000
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
Yep, for sure.

4579
04:12:49,000 --> 04:12:52,200
And on the lower right hand side
is a square.

4580
04:12:53,000 --> 04:12:55,100
Yep.
Holy cow.

4581
04:12:56,300 --> 04:13:01,400
Again, if I had my longer
presentation about this, I could

4582
04:13:01,400 --> 04:13:05,600
show you that, there's also the
sheen, which is that I think is

4583
04:13:05,600 --> 04:13:07,400
the 21st letter of the Hebrew
alphabet.

4584
04:13:07,400 --> 04:13:11,100
It's the the first letter in
like three or four, the sacred

4585
04:13:11,100 --> 04:13:14,400
names of God.
And, and there's a Sheen.

4586
04:13:14,400 --> 04:13:17,100
Also that was originally
associated with this, but this

4587
04:13:17,100 --> 04:13:22,800
earthwork in Ohio was so
Completely Hebrew that they

4588
04:13:22,808 --> 04:13:25,000
actually call it the Hebrew word
works for many years.

4589
04:13:25,000 --> 04:13:29,100
And then finally, he came so
controversial because there's no

4590
04:13:29,108 --> 04:13:30,600
way, no.
The Hebrews could have been

4591
04:13:30,600 --> 04:13:33,900
here, of course, right.
And so it became so

4592
04:13:33,900 --> 04:13:37,400
controversial that they, that
the US Corps of Engineers

4593
04:13:37,400 --> 04:13:40,000
actually came out here with
dozers back in the forties and

4594
04:13:40,000 --> 04:13:41,800
they do this whole site out of
the existing.

4595
04:13:41,800 --> 04:13:47,000
Oh, it's completely gone now.
Oh, but there's at least two or

4596
04:13:47,000 --> 04:13:48,100
three.
Yeah.

4597
04:13:48,100 --> 04:13:53,100
Like I said, this was from the
like 1851 surveys.

4598
04:13:53,100 --> 04:13:56,400
They're actually published in
books so we know that it was

4599
04:13:56,400 --> 04:13:57,100
there.
You know?

4600
04:13:57,108 --> 04:14:02,900
It did exist but now it's gone.
Here's some other oil lamps this

4601
04:14:02,900 --> 04:14:06,300
oil, lamp here in the, in the
lower lower center of the of the

4602
04:14:06,300 --> 04:14:09,600
image here is actually across
the river from Nauvoo, that's

4603
04:14:09,600 --> 04:14:11,400
where it was found.
Wow.

4604
04:14:13,000 --> 04:14:15,600
In other words, is there a hemla
along with these other

4605
04:14:15,600 --> 04:14:18,700
artifacts?
And then we have the destruction

4606
04:14:18,700 --> 04:14:19,800
around the time of Christ's
death.

4607
04:14:19,808 --> 04:14:23,700
Basically, we have an 1811812,
the largest sequence of

4608
04:14:23,700 --> 04:14:26,700
earthquakes that ever happened
in North America or in the

4609
04:14:26,708 --> 04:14:30,300
Americas at all.
Right over 2000.

4610
04:14:30,300 --> 04:14:32,400
Earthquakes over the course of
about five months.

4611
04:14:32,400 --> 04:14:36,000
Averaging, 17 earthquakes a day.
Oh, on an average.

4612
04:14:37,100 --> 04:14:40,200
And and it was basically right
underneath the Hopewell mound.

4613
04:14:40,200 --> 04:14:41,800
Builders civilization.
Yep.

4614
04:14:41,800 --> 04:14:44,100
Yep.
You need the New Jersey and we

4615
04:14:44,100 --> 04:14:47,900
believe we've been able to
actually identify and actually

4616
04:14:47,900 --> 04:14:51,900
isolate the exact event
geologically that is being

4617
04:14:51,900 --> 04:14:54,800
described by Nephi in the Book
of Mormon at the time of Christ,

4618
04:14:54,800 --> 04:14:59,400
death, Oh, we actually can we
know what what that was.

4619
04:14:59,400 --> 04:15:03,300
I mean and how far it affected
and what happened and it's just

4620
04:15:03,300 --> 04:15:05,500
absolutely astounding with USGS
information.

4621
04:15:06,400 --> 04:15:11,200
About things that happened.
There's 28 observations made by

4622
04:15:11,200 --> 04:15:14,300
the profanity friend, The Book
of Mormon about what happened at

4623
04:15:14,300 --> 04:15:18,500
the time of Christ's death and
out of those 28, every single

4624
04:15:18,500 --> 04:15:20,500
one of them were actually
observed in 1811.

4625
04:15:20,500 --> 04:15:24,900
And 1812 in sequence of
earthquakes all the way down to

4626
04:15:24,908 --> 04:15:26,600
the three days of darkness was
observed.

4627
04:15:27,400 --> 04:15:29,200
Holy cow, it's just it's
astounding.

4628
04:15:29,200 --> 04:15:32,500
I mean every every single aspect
some people have thought that

4629
04:15:32,500 --> 04:15:35,900
the only explanation for what
happened at the time of Christ's

4630
04:15:35,900 --> 04:15:38,800
death is the volcano or volcanic
eruption of some sort.

4631
04:15:38,800 --> 04:15:41,700
But there's no volcano mention
the Book of Mormon and clearly,

4632
04:15:41,700 --> 04:15:44,600
volcano is something that Joe
Smith and his family would have

4633
04:15:44,608 --> 04:15:48,700
been known about, right?
Driven out of Vermont because of

4634
04:15:48,700 --> 04:15:51,600
the volcano over there and
Indonesia.

4635
04:15:51,600 --> 04:15:53,000
There was yep.
Yep.

4636
04:15:54,000 --> 04:15:55,900
Anyway, so we're just about done
online.

4637
04:15:55,900 --> 04:15:59,800
Is that in New York, this is the
Antiquities of the state of New

4638
04:15:59,800 --> 04:16:04,300
York, okay, by EG Square.
He was one of the guys that was

4639
04:16:04,300 --> 04:16:08,800
originally with the Smithsonian.
When they did the The book on

4640
04:16:08,800 --> 04:16:14,400
the about the Mississippi, and
the right answer, Mississippi

4641
04:16:14,400 --> 04:16:20,800
Valley, that was an 1849.
This is an 1851 in this book,

4642
04:16:20,800 --> 04:16:24,000
which I actually this, this, the
image here is actually of my

4643
04:16:24,000 --> 04:16:26,100
personal book.
I actually bought an original

4644
04:16:26,100 --> 04:16:29,000
copy of this.
They have an entire.

4645
04:16:31,000 --> 04:16:33,700
Let's see if it's got, okay,
they have an entire chapter on

4646
04:16:33,700 --> 04:16:39,500
the bone.
Pets of Western New York, Holy

4647
04:16:39,500 --> 04:16:41,200
cow.
Is there a various sizes?

4648
04:16:41,200 --> 04:16:45,200
Usually container of skeletons
and Cambria Niagara County,

4649
04:16:45,200 --> 04:16:47,700
that's again, Western New York
was estimated to contain the

4650
04:16:47,700 --> 04:16:49,200
bones of several thousand
individuals.

4651
04:16:49,200 --> 04:16:52,900
What I believe is that the final
battles of around the Hill

4652
04:16:52,900 --> 04:16:57,200
Cumorah that those battles were
all over Western New York and it

4653
04:16:57,200 --> 04:17:01,000
and it basically culminated at
Kamara, I would make sense,

4654
04:17:01,000 --> 04:17:04,900
right?
I mean, very rarely do Wars get

4655
04:17:04,900 --> 04:17:09,100
contained in one specific.
Small Java location.

4656
04:17:09,900 --> 04:17:12,000
Yeah, there's battles and
skirmishes going on all over the

4657
04:17:12,008 --> 04:17:13,500
place.
And so they have all these, all

4658
04:17:13,500 --> 04:17:15,600
these desks born marks of
violence.

4659
04:17:15,600 --> 04:17:19,200
They talked about in page, 100,
it was a pit excavated a deep

4660
04:17:19,208 --> 04:17:23,100
depth of four, five feet filled
with human bones. 100 seem to

4661
04:17:23,100 --> 04:17:25,300
have been thrown in
promiscuously, both sexes and

4662
04:17:25,300 --> 04:17:28,800
all ages.
Numerous points for found among

4663
04:17:28,800 --> 04:17:30,700
the bones.
Otherwise, this wasn't just a

4664
04:17:30,700 --> 04:17:32,100
battle.
This was an extermination.

4665
04:17:32,100 --> 04:17:34,400
This was an ethnic cleansing.
Yes.

4666
04:17:34,400 --> 04:17:36,000
Yeah.
This is extermination.

4667
04:17:36,000 --> 04:17:40,600
Yeah, so says an Excavating, the
canal is to talk about the Erie

4668
04:17:40,600 --> 04:17:42,800
Canal.
That that through the bank,

4669
04:17:42,800 --> 04:17:45,100
another burial place was
disclosed, definitely more

4670
04:17:45,100 --> 04:17:48,200
ancient for the bones crumbled
to Pieces owns the media product

4671
04:17:48,200 --> 04:17:50,400
exposure, to the air, and the
number of skeletons are

4672
04:17:50,400 --> 04:17:51,500
representative, who have been
countless?

4673
04:17:51,500 --> 04:17:55,800
Holy cow.
And so, I mean, this is this is

4674
04:17:55,800 --> 04:17:57,800
planetary history of the Holland
purchase of Western New York.

4675
04:17:57,808 --> 04:18:00,500
This is a different book that
came out in 1849.

4676
04:18:00,500 --> 04:18:04,800
This is before the the
Antiquities of New York book

4677
04:18:04,800 --> 04:18:08,600
right by just a couple of years
and it talks about how that

4678
04:18:08,600 --> 04:18:12,000
authors been to this place, it
was there was a pit filled the

4679
04:18:12,000 --> 04:18:15,500
death of fortify feet filled
with human bones, hundreds or

4680
04:18:15,500 --> 04:18:17,600
thrown in both sexes.
All ages.

4681
04:18:17,600 --> 04:18:21,400
It was a general Massacre.
And they got they go on to say

4682
04:18:21,400 --> 04:18:24,100
that they have that this is at
least the final Battlefield

4683
04:18:24,100 --> 04:18:26,900
predominate.
He says that here was a war of

4684
04:18:26,908 --> 04:18:29,600
extermination we may conclude
from the masses of human

4685
04:18:29,600 --> 04:18:31,400
skeletons.
We find in discriminately thrown

4686
04:18:31,400 --> 04:18:34,400
together indicated.
A common simultaneously curve

4687
04:18:34,400 --> 04:18:37,800
with age infancy sex.
No condition was exempt.

4688
04:18:37,800 --> 04:18:42,200
They killed everyone.
And that's from 1849.

4689
04:18:43,200 --> 04:18:46,500
This is just after Joseph
Smith's death, and these things

4690
04:18:46,500 --> 04:18:49,500
were coming out.
I mean, look at these massive

4691
04:18:49,500 --> 04:18:55,400
bones pets and so forth, won't
go into all that, but he's so if

4692
04:18:55,400 --> 04:18:58,700
you want to get more
information, There's so much

4693
04:18:58,700 --> 04:19:00,300
more.
I mean, we go for two weeks on

4694
04:19:00,300 --> 04:19:05,500
our tours and we cover about
half of it and that's eight or

4695
04:19:05,500 --> 04:19:11,300
nine hours a day for two weeks.
That's the amount of stuff I've

4696
04:19:11,300 --> 04:19:13,100
had to leave out in our
interview here.

4697
04:19:13,100 --> 04:19:16,600
Dave is astonishing, but but we
covered a lot of stuff though.

4698
04:19:16,600 --> 04:19:20,300
We did Cover a lot of stuff and
man, I, I know you're busy.

4699
04:19:20,300 --> 04:19:23,100
So the fact that you spent the
amount of time you did here with

4700
04:19:23,100 --> 04:19:26,700
me, I can't have hours brother
you go.

4701
04:19:26,700 --> 04:19:27,700
It goes quick though, doesn't
it?

4702
04:19:27,700 --> 04:19:31,300
I mean when when you're talking
about stuff that interests you

4703
04:19:31,300 --> 04:19:33,500
it goes quick, right?
I can't.

4704
04:19:33,500 --> 04:19:37,300
I can't tell you how much I
appreciate you spending your

4705
04:19:37,300 --> 04:19:38,800
time with me.
I know you're busy.

4706
04:19:38,800 --> 04:19:42,000
But man, this is this is good
stuff.

4707
04:19:42,000 --> 04:19:45,900
It's important stuff, right?
Because as we've talked about

4708
04:19:45,900 --> 04:19:51,300
all this, it should lead us to
one place. and that's first.

4709
04:19:52,400 --> 04:19:56,100
To the idea that the Book of
Mormon is real, right?

4710
04:19:56,100 --> 04:20:03,500
It's not inspired fiction, it is
not biblical fanfiction, it's

4711
04:20:03,500 --> 04:20:06,000
telling the story of actual
people.

4712
04:20:07,000 --> 04:20:10,600
And I can't think of a better
time that I'm gonna release this

4713
04:20:10,600 --> 04:20:14,200
the next week.
Be good this Saturday as when

4714
04:20:14,200 --> 04:20:18,700
all released it because it's not
only the week of Christmas.

4715
04:20:18,700 --> 04:20:21,600
It's the week of Joseph.
Smith's birthday, yes.

4716
04:20:22,500 --> 04:20:25,800
And September 23rd.
Is it 23rd?

4717
04:20:25,800 --> 04:20:27,400
Yep.
Yep.

4718
04:20:27,400 --> 04:20:30,700
And so people will be listening
to this that whole week.

4719
04:20:31,600 --> 04:20:36,000
And I can't think of a better
episode to do because not only

4720
04:20:36,000 --> 04:20:39,300
does this testify that the Book
of Mormon is real, if it's real,

4721
04:20:39,300 --> 04:20:44,700
that means Joseph, prophetic
calling was 100% real and the

4722
04:20:44,700 --> 04:20:49,000
principles and the idea the
principles and the truths that

4723
04:20:49,008 --> 04:20:53,800
He restored are 100% real, and
we can take it to the bank, it

4724
04:20:53,800 --> 04:20:59,000
doesn't have to just be a, an
exercise of the heart, that's

4725
04:20:59,000 --> 04:21:02,200
where it should start start.
That's where you should get your

4726
04:21:02,200 --> 04:21:04,600
testimony.
But these are things that we can

4727
04:21:04,600 --> 04:21:07,900
point to, to point to the
validity of our faith in Our

4728
04:21:07,900 --> 04:21:10,800
Truth claims as Mormons across
the board.

4729
04:21:10,800 --> 04:21:16,300
Whether you're you're an active
member of the LDS church or a

4730
04:21:16,300 --> 04:21:18,800
crazy, Fundy.
Like me, you should be able to

4731
04:21:18,800 --> 04:21:22,800
take this to the bank and and be
able to rest your hat on the

4732
04:21:22,800 --> 04:21:27,000
fact that Joseph's prepaid
calling was true and then it all

4733
04:21:27,000 --> 04:21:31,400
ultimately, testifies of Christ.
So that's the reason why I

4734
04:21:31,600 --> 04:21:36,100
appreciate being able to come in
and talk to to you, you know,

4735
04:21:36,100 --> 04:21:40,000
basically my feeling is that
anybody who loves the book and

4736
04:21:41,200 --> 04:21:45,100
It's a friend of mine.
I feel the same way and I I've

4737
04:21:45,100 --> 04:21:49,200
had so many wonderful friends
from, you know, different Faith

4738
04:21:49,200 --> 04:21:52,100
groups and so forth that are,
you know, you know, they're all

4739
04:21:52,108 --> 04:21:55,900
of the Book of Mormon and, and
Joseph Smith, and we may have,

4740
04:21:55,908 --> 04:21:57,500
you know, some differences in
some areas.

4741
04:21:57,500 --> 04:22:02,700
But in this area, we can be one
Said that the Book of Mormon.

4742
04:22:02,700 --> 04:22:06,300
I've said this for a long time,
there is way more that unites us

4743
04:22:06,300 --> 04:22:09,900
than separates us.
And what's interesting is, as we

4744
04:22:09,900 --> 04:22:13,600
have our, I mean, the same
issues that the LDS church

4745
04:22:13,600 --> 04:22:15,400
faces.
A lot of them are the same ones

4746
04:22:15,400 --> 04:22:17,700
that we face, right, attacks on
our faith.

4747
04:22:17,700 --> 04:22:23,000
And I found it discouraging at
times that were more content to

4748
04:22:23,000 --> 04:22:25,700
fight against each other.
Meanwhile, the real adversary of

4749
04:22:25,700 --> 04:22:27,300
us all is trying to burn down
the house.

4750
04:22:32,200 --> 04:22:33,100
Percent true.
Yeah.

4751
04:22:34,200 --> 04:22:37,900
I've used I've used that same
kind of analogy, but a massive

4752
04:22:37,900 --> 04:22:40,700
football thing, you know.
But but the mesoamerica guys,

4753
04:22:40,700 --> 04:22:44,400
and US, yeah, because the Lord
has said, if you're not one,

4754
04:22:44,400 --> 04:22:48,000
you're not mine, right, right?
And then, in this, this this

4755
04:22:48,000 --> 04:22:50,400
geography, The Book of Mormon is
that camp.

4756
04:22:50,400 --> 04:22:53,100
We're really kind of not one, we
had the Amazing America

4757
04:22:53,100 --> 04:22:54,700
Heartland kind of going back and
forth.

4758
04:22:54,700 --> 04:23:01,400
And and I really just feel like
that if we could ever get, you

4759
04:23:01,400 --> 04:23:06,400
know, on board with everybody on
on, you know, whatever the truth

4760
04:23:06,400 --> 04:23:08,600
is, you know, and write make
that happen.

4761
04:23:08,600 --> 04:23:12,000
You know, how much more we could
take the Book of Mormon Message

4762
04:23:12,000 --> 04:23:14,000
to the world.
Absolutely so much more

4763
04:23:14,000 --> 04:23:17,100
powerful.
Yeah, absolutely back to the

4764
04:23:17,100 --> 04:23:18,900
football analogy.
So I said, yeah, it's kind of

4765
04:23:18,908 --> 04:23:22,700
like, here we are.
We're all in the same team and

4766
04:23:22,700 --> 04:23:25,800
basically, well, we're arguing
whether we're gonna take it up

4767
04:23:25,808 --> 04:23:30,200
the middle or go do an end run
or go for a long bomb pass or

4768
04:23:30,200 --> 04:23:32,200
something.
Rather, while we're arguing

4769
04:23:32,200 --> 04:23:34,100
about that the other team is
Kik.

4770
04:23:34,200 --> 04:23:36,500
Her behinds down the field.
That's exactly right.

4771
04:23:36,500 --> 04:23:40,300
That's exactly right.
Let's stop arguing.

4772
04:23:40,300 --> 04:23:43,100
Just call a plain man.
Let's do it right?

4773
04:23:43,100 --> 04:23:47,000
Absolutely I couldn't I couldn't
agree with you more and look.

4774
04:23:47,000 --> 04:23:49,800
The more voice is out there
saying that Joseph was a true

4775
04:23:49,800 --> 04:23:52,800
Prophet, The Book of Mormon is
real and the ordinances are

4776
04:23:52,800 --> 04:23:57,000
valid.
That we we can get along all

4777
04:23:57,000 --> 04:23:59,000
day.
We met, I've often said, we may

4778
04:23:59,000 --> 04:24:01,800
not be able to just hug it out
on Sundays, but we better figure

4779
04:24:01,800 --> 04:24:04,300
out how to work together on
Saturdays and have a barbecue.

4780
04:24:05,200 --> 04:24:08,000
Oh, I think we can have.
I think we can hang out on

4781
04:24:08,000 --> 04:24:09,700
Sundays too.
We I think we can.

4782
04:24:09,700 --> 04:24:12,000
I think we can't.
There's there's so much more

4783
04:24:12,000 --> 04:24:15,000
that that joins us.
The divides us.

4784
04:24:15,000 --> 04:24:17,400
It's it's really ridiculous that
we spend the time.

4785
04:24:17,400 --> 04:24:20,700
Wait, I don't know, I shouldn't
say wasted time because there's

4786
04:24:20,700 --> 04:24:23,100
there's fundamental difference,
right?

4787
04:24:23,100 --> 04:24:26,300
Sure.
But but we can all at least if

4788
04:24:26,300 --> 04:24:27,900
nothing else we can be
christ-like.

4789
04:24:27,900 --> 04:24:30,200
Yep.
And we can love each other and

4790
04:24:30,200 --> 04:24:33,400
and and help each other and do
all we can for each other.

4791
04:24:33,400 --> 04:24:39,000
And we don't have to see.
I I mean, I I I'm gonna finish

4792
04:24:39,000 --> 04:24:43,200
up with that and that's
basically, you know, people ask

4793
04:24:43,200 --> 04:24:44,700
me all the time.
Well, you know, doesn't make you

4794
04:24:44,700 --> 04:24:47,300
upset when people don't agree
with you, you know, and don't

4795
04:24:47,300 --> 04:24:50,100
don't get it, they don't, you
know, they don't accept your

4796
04:24:50,100 --> 04:24:55,200
your theories or whatever.
Your model and look at basically

4797
04:24:55,200 --> 04:24:57,400
say, you know what, if our
heavenly father can't get a

4798
04:24:57,400 --> 04:24:59,000
third of his kids to listen to
his plan.

4799
04:24:59,000 --> 04:25:00,800
Then it's not going to bother me
too much.

4800
04:25:00,800 --> 04:25:04,100
If a few people don't don't
agree with me, you know.

4801
04:25:04,100 --> 04:25:05,000
Right.
Right.

4802
04:25:05,000 --> 04:25:10,700
Absolutely, absolutely well man
and good stuff.

4803
04:25:10,700 --> 04:25:18,100
Thanks for taking the time Rod.
I really really care about 13

4804
04:25:18,100 --> 04:25:19,300
sections or something.
I don't know.

4805
04:25:19,300 --> 04:25:26,000
No no I I do long format because
quite frankly Good luck

4806
04:25:26,000 --> 04:25:30,000
explaining anything in,
Mormonism in 45 minutes, right?

4807
04:25:30,000 --> 04:25:34,200
I mean, good luck.
People have a pause button.

4808
04:25:34,208 --> 04:25:37,400
They can stop at when they want
and pick it back up again.

4809
04:25:37,400 --> 04:25:41,900
So, but if they want to learn
more about this information, you

4810
04:25:41,900 --> 04:25:45,300
can go to our primary website is
bookmark, an evidence.org.

4811
04:25:46,100 --> 04:25:49,700
Okay, and we are we also have
the largest repository of

4812
04:25:49,700 --> 04:25:52,400
information research that's ever
been, you know, completely

4813
04:25:52,400 --> 04:25:55,700
assembled basically which is our
streaming website.

4814
04:25:55,700 --> 04:26:00,600
We have over 1700 one hour
presentations by over 450

4815
04:26:00,600 --> 04:26:05,300
experts in every every
imaginable field of research on

4816
04:26:05,300 --> 04:26:10,500
the Book of Mormon there that
website is like was it like

4817
04:26:10,500 --> 04:26:12,800
seven or eight bucks a month or
something for, you know, to

4818
04:26:12,800 --> 04:26:16,700
access all of that.
We also have I have here with me

4819
04:26:16,700 --> 04:26:19,200
to have the annotated edition of
The Book of Mormon.

4820
04:26:19,208 --> 04:26:23,300
If you want to get a copy, this
is a it's the most advanced

4821
04:26:23,300 --> 04:26:25,400
Edition.
It has the words of Christ are

4822
04:26:25,400 --> 04:26:28,200
in red, birds of so forth.
They're in blue, it's

4823
04:26:28,200 --> 04:26:33,300
reformatted the original text so
that actually reads more like an

4824
04:26:33,300 --> 04:26:37,200
actual English language book
with you know when there's

4825
04:26:37,200 --> 04:26:40,200
direct quotes it's indented and
put in quotation marks for

4826
04:26:40,200 --> 04:26:43,600
example and it has about 260
pages of insights and

4827
04:26:43,600 --> 04:26:49,200
information and research that
that it's from the Heartland

4828
04:26:49,200 --> 04:26:52,100
perspective.
But but I think you're going to

4829
04:26:52,100 --> 04:26:54,600
find it, really fascinating.
Has all the stuff about the the

4830
04:26:54,600 --> 04:26:59,800
laws of Moses and about the that
that You know, the Newark

4831
04:26:59,800 --> 04:27:02,100
Earthworks with the Plan of
Salvation and so forth in it.

4832
04:27:02,800 --> 04:27:04,300
So it's a really phenomenal
book.

4833
04:27:04,300 --> 04:27:07,400
If you go to our website you can
get a copy of that would know.

4834
04:27:07,400 --> 04:27:12,300
And then we also have a brand
new one that's I think some of

4835
04:27:12,300 --> 04:27:13,600
your your audience may enjoy as
well.

4836
04:27:13,600 --> 04:27:18,600
Um, let's say annotated edition
of the revelations of Joseph

4837
04:27:18,600 --> 04:27:22,900
Smith, nice basically kind of
like the doctrine of covenants.

4838
04:27:22,900 --> 04:27:27,100
But instead of being numbered
like the like the arch Salt Lake

4839
04:27:27,108 --> 04:27:29,600
Church does basically, you know
what the numbering system there.

4840
04:27:29,600 --> 04:27:34,000
I know that a lot of the the
fundamentalist groups have

4841
04:27:34,000 --> 04:27:37,500
different you know, numbering
systems, right?

4842
04:27:37,500 --> 04:27:41,100
So this is basically just goes
chronologically as Joseph Smith

4843
04:27:41,100 --> 04:27:45,900
received these right now, just
has the words of God or in

4844
04:27:45,900 --> 04:27:48,900
basically in red and also has if
you can see this but you have

4845
04:27:48,908 --> 04:27:53,100
kind of like the greenish color
On the right, we can see that

4846
04:27:53,100 --> 04:27:56,700
that gives you the historical
background of what exactly is

4847
04:27:56,700 --> 04:27:59,600
going on in Joseph, Smith's life
at the time of this Revelation,

4848
04:27:59,600 --> 04:28:03,900
so you get contacts.
Yeah, it's really pretty cool.

4849
04:28:03,900 --> 04:28:06,500
And you know, that one of my
favorite things about this

4850
04:28:06,500 --> 04:28:10,600
really quickly here.
Is that it has, let me see here.

4851
04:28:10,600 --> 04:28:12,800
Brad.
Can you stop sharing your screen

4852
04:28:12,800 --> 04:28:14,300
for a minute?
So we can get a better view of

4853
04:28:14,300 --> 04:28:15,800
that?
Yeah, oh, yeah, I'm sorry.

4854
04:28:15,800 --> 04:28:24,400
Oh yeah, go into that.
It allowed here back to the

4855
04:28:24,400 --> 04:28:25,600
bottom.
Stop the shared.

4856
04:28:25,600 --> 04:28:27,300
There we go.
There we go.

4857
04:28:27,308 --> 04:28:28,500
Okay, that's a little bit
better, right?

4858
04:28:30,200 --> 04:28:37,300
Yeah, so like an example, here
you can see it says that the

4859
04:28:37,300 --> 04:28:39,900
dates section number and
location of the Revelation.

4860
04:28:39,900 --> 04:28:44,300
So this is the first one is
September. 21st of 1823 Joseph

4861
04:28:44,300 --> 04:28:46,100
Smith agent, the time was 17
years old.

4862
04:28:46,100 --> 04:28:50,200
Fascinating well realize, you
know, he was having he started

4863
04:28:50,200 --> 04:28:53,800
these Revelations at 17.
This is this is became section

4864
04:28:53,800 --> 04:28:55,800
2.
It's on page one of this book

4865
04:28:55,800 --> 04:28:58,400
and it was received originally
been Manchester New York.

4866
04:28:58,400 --> 04:29:00,200
Holy cow.
Have that?

4867
04:29:00,200 --> 04:29:03,100
Then you have, here's the
Revelation from section 2.

4868
04:29:03,100 --> 04:29:05,900
It's just really quick, just a
little short one, right?

4869
04:29:05,900 --> 04:29:09,500
But they have this whole
historical background with Joe

4870
04:29:09,500 --> 04:29:12,800
Smith, history, so forth,
talking about the the background

4871
04:29:12,800 --> 04:29:16,800
of where else came from.
So then you have yeah you have

4872
04:29:16,800 --> 04:29:21,400
no original letters and so
right, that's awesome.

4873
04:29:21,400 --> 04:29:27,100
He's happening yes.
Oh yeah.

4874
04:29:27,100 --> 04:29:29,800
Anyway, it's just a fasting, but
we have this on a special deal,

4875
04:29:29,800 --> 04:29:33,300
you know, basically this year
we're going to be studying, you

4876
04:29:33,300 --> 04:29:37,900

04:29:37,900 --> 04:29:39,800

Probably gonna be the best.

4878
04:29:41,300 --> 04:29:46,000
You know, sure, study study
guide for Covenant stuff between

4879
04:29:46,000 --> 04:29:48,600
you and I when I was going to
the Book of Mormon evidence

4880
04:29:48,600 --> 04:29:52,300
conferences, when I was living
in Utah, I may or may not have

4881
04:29:52,300 --> 04:29:54,100
bought enough to put one of your
kids through college.

4882
04:29:54,100 --> 04:29:58,500
Um, yet I haven't broke it to
either of my wives.

4883
04:29:58,500 --> 04:30:01,800
How much money that is?
They do ask me, I say

4884
04:30:01,800 --> 04:30:03,700
sweethearts, just go buy some
shoes.

4885
04:30:03,700 --> 04:30:06,800
Um, that's the best you just
don't worry about the price,

4886
04:30:06,800 --> 04:30:11,300
just buy some shoes.
Um, So back to my kids, to

4887
04:30:11,300 --> 04:30:15,300
college that, but because we
usually most of the money that

4888
04:30:15,300 --> 04:30:19,200
we've, that we've received that
sure that we're receiving

4889
04:30:19,200 --> 04:30:25,000
actually ends up going to, to
just increase in the, you know,

4890
04:30:25,008 --> 04:30:27,700

forth and doing that kind of

4891

able to get something delivered

4900
04:30:51,700 --> 04:30:53,500
by Christmas if you pay the
extra money.

4901
04:30:53,500 --> 04:30:56,500
