Episode #232: The Books of Enoch Part 2 W/Ken Peterson

1
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,760
OK, so we're back for Part 2 on
the Enoch series.

2
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,200
We're going to finish up book
one, we're going to talk about

3
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,320
book two and three, and boy, if
you're a fan of the temple,

4
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:23,680
you're going to love this
episode.

5
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,640
So with that, let's just jump
right back into the

6
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:31,800
conversation.
Chapter 98 Describing the last

7
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:36,800
days.
You'll like this one now I swear

8
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,160
unto you, to the wise and the
foolish, For you shall see many

9
00:00:39,160 --> 00:00:43,200
things upon the earth, for you,
for you, for you.

10
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:48,600
Men in the end, shall put on
more jewelry than women, and

11
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,200
more multi colored ornaments
than a virgin.

12
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,560
In sovereignty, in grandeur and
in authority, in silver and

13
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,120
gold, in clothing and honor and
edibles.

14
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,280
They shall be poured out like
water.

15
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,640
Does that not describe our day?
100% does.

16
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,840
For this reason they are devoid
of knowledge and wisdom.

17
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,160
So they shall perish thereby,
together with their goods and

18
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,160
together with all their glory
and honor.

19
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:20,080
Then in dishonor, in slaughter,
and in great misery, their

20
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:26,480
spirits shall be cast away.
The men will wear more jewelry

21
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,920
than the women.
I'm like, holy cow, that's just

22
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,200
funny.
He's describing today.

23
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,560
I mean, I just the references to
in my opinion, the reference

24
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,440
seems to be kind of
transvestism, right?

25
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:45,560
I mean, when, when you start
talking about more women, you

26
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:50,240
know, wearing more jewelry than
than the women, that sort of

27
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,200
thing, I.
Like colored ornaments, garbage.

28
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,960
Yeah, yeah.
I can't help but go there.

29
00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:01,360
Ken and I might be wrong but I I
have a hard time not making that

30
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,280
connection.
All right, you're not going to

31
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,640
like this one.
His vision of the last days.

32
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:11,120
In those days they, the women,
shall become pregnant, but they,

33
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:16,120
the sinners, shall come out and
abort their infants and cast

34
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,440
them out from their midst, and
they shall also abandoned their

35
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,320
other children, casting their
infants out while they are still

36
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,440
suckling.
They shall neither return to

37
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,920
them their babies, nor have
compassion upon their loved

38
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:33,320
ones.
Boy, did he see the last days

39
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:38,120
or.
What man Enoch called it.

40
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,400
Let's end with a good thing.
Is it the end of First Enoch?

41
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,960
This is what it's all for.
So now I shall summon their

42
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,040
spirits, if they are born of
light and change.

43
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,640
Those who are born in darkness,
those whose bodies were not

44
00:02:57,640 --> 00:03:01,400
recompensed with honor, as they
deserve their faithfulness, I

45
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,240
shall bring them out into the
bright light those who have

46
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:11,080
loved My holy name, and seat
them each one by one, upon the

47
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,120
throne of his honor.
We will share Christ's throne.

48
00:03:15,640 --> 00:03:19,560
They shall be resplendent for
ages that cannot be numbered.

49
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,320
For the judgment of God is
righteousness, because He will

50
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:29,640
give faith as well as the paths
of truth to the faithful ones in

51
00:03:29,640 --> 00:03:33,760
the resting place.
Describing the resurrection and

52
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:39,080
the final judgment, man Enoch is
deep.

53
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,720
Which brings us to 2nd Enoch.
That's the end of First Enoch,

54
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:53,120
which begins there was a wise
man oops, sorry, the story of

55
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,400
Enoch and how the Lord took him
to heaven.

56
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,840
So we didn't get a lot of that
in First Enoch.

57
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:05,760
Let's see that talks about and
the most marvelous and glorious

58
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,920
and shining many eyed station of
the Lord's servants and of the

59
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:14,880
Lord's immovable throne.
Wait, sorry, what we need to

60
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,120
know here, you see this a letter
A up here.

61
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,240
There are two lengthy
manuscripts of Second Enoch, and

62
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,840
they've both been included
because they're almost the same

63
00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:31,400
but slightly different, and they
call them Recension A.

64
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:36,480
And recension JJ is longer than
A, so I'll refer to J more

65
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:43,280
frequently.
Here we go, and the ranks and

66
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:47,120
the organization of the bodiless
armies.

67
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,760
Who are the bodiless armies?
That would be the third host of

68
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,160
heaven that was cast down of
Lucifer.

69
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,840
Well, these are the ones that
are serving.

70
00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:56,600
These are with.
God.

71
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,320
OK, those are the ones that have
to be.

72
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,200
The pre or the post?
Post mortal spirits.

73
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,320
OK, Yeah, this is the first one
we've read from here.

74
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:05,800
So I was making an assumption.
Yeah.

75
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,240
So these are the ones that are
serving God.

76
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:15,600
Yes, he's describing where he
where at where Enoch was taken

77
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,640
to.
OK.

78
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,440
And of the indescribable
composition of the multitude of

79
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,840
elements matter plays such a big
deal, like Joseph Smith said.

80
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:29,760
And of the variegated appearance
and indescribable singing of the

81
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,720
army of the chairman Rob.
He's singing.

82
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,120
There must be great singers.
And of the light without measure

83
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,640
to be an eyewitness.
That's why he was taken.

84
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,680
She was going to bear record.
That's right.

85
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:48,920
And I lay on my bed weeping, and
while I slept a great distress

86
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,240
entered my heart, and I was
weeping.

87
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,080
Here's Enoch weeping again.
I was weeping with my eyes in a

88
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,640
dream, and I could not figure
out what this distress might be,

89
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,280
nor what it might be happening
to me.

90
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:06,360
Then two huge men appeared to
me, the like of which I had

91
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,520
never seen on earth.
Their faces were like the

92
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,640
shining sun.
Their eyes were like burning

93
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,560
lamps.
From their mouths fire was

94
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,480
coming forth.
Their clothing was various

95
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:24,320
singing, their wings more
glistening than gold, their

96
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,480
hands whiter than snow.
And they stood at the head of my

97
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,560
bed.
Rescension a says their wings

98
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,760
were Their arms were like wings.
They stood at the head of my

99
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:42,480
bed, called me by my name.
Then I awoke from my sleep and

100
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,000
saw those men standing in front
of me for real, in actuality.

101
00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:49,360
And they're the ones who came to
get him.

102
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,160
Yeah, that would be a bit
disconcerting to wake up to.

103
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:58,440
I'm just saying.
What I love is the very specific

104
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,080
descriptions of resurrected
beings.

105
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,520
We talked about resurrection a
lot, but we don't have any real

106
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,640
concept of what that looks like
because we can.

107
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,040
So I, I love these incredible
descriptions.

108
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,080
Give us some idea of what that
glory is.

109
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,280
All right.
Now we're going to go to page

110
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:23,400
110 where he starts talking
about multiple heavens.

111
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,920
Chapter 3 of Second Enoch about
the taking away of Enoch and how

112
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,280
the angels took him on the first
on to the 1st heaven.

113
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,480
Paul talks about 3 heavens and
he also talks about 7 heavens.

114
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,640
Here.
They're going to talk about 10

115
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,120
heavens.
Do they disagree with one

116
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,120
another?
We believe in three degrees of

117
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,600
glory.
Or do we?

118
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:51,520
But but I would say this isn't
the celestial Kingdom divided up

119
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,160
into three sub kingdoms?
That's exactly what I'm

120
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,440
thinking.
So we talk about the three grand

121
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,400
divisions, as does Paul, but
then Paul also talks about the

122
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,600
7th heaven.
And so within these kingdoms of

123
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,400
glory there are further
divisions.

124
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,160
We know that for a fact for the
celestial, and it would make

125
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,280
sense.
It would be the same for the

126
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,360
other kingdoms.
Absolutely.

127
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,000
About the taking away being it
go.

128
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,440
And it came about and it came to
pass.

129
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,760
But I had spoken to my sons.
This is Enoch.

130
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,320
These men.
Those men called me, these two

131
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,760
guys, they took me up onto their
wings and carried me up to the

132
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,000
1st heaven and placed me on the
clouds.

133
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,080
So this is not the celestial,
this is between earth and the

134
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:40,919
celestial.
This is the one that's closest

135
00:08:40,919 --> 00:08:43,400
to the earth.
So this would be more like a

136
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,160
telestial realm.
And I and be.

137
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,040
And behold, they were moving
these clouds, and there I

138
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,400
perceived the air higher up and
higher still I saw the ether.

139
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,520
They placed me on the 1st heaven
that they showed me, a vast

140
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,760
ocean, much bigger than the
earthly ocean.

141
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:07,640
And they led before my face the
elders and the rulers of the

142
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:13,160
stellar orders, stars the
lowest, the rulers of the T

143
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:18,520
Lesson orders hidden cool.
The second order, which would

144
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:25,320
still be amongst the telestial,
I think I would say, I go to

145
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,960
where it says Chapter 7.
And those men picked me up,

146
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,520
these two angels, and brought me
up to the 2nd heaven.

147
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,360
And they showed me, and I saw a
darkness greater than earthly

148
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,720
darkness.
And there I perceived prisoners

149
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,200
under guard, hanging up, waiting
for the measureless judgment,

150
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:52,240
Those who are waiting.
And then in chapter 8.

151
00:09:53,560 --> 00:09:55,440
And those men took me from
there, and they brought me up to

152
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,040
the 3rd heaven and set me down
there.

153
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,880
And I looked downward and I saw
paradise.

154
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,800
Guess what?
That would be the terrestrial

155
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:08,080
order.
The terrestrial edema was

156
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,560
terrestrial.
Earth was in a terrestrial state

157
00:10:10,560 --> 00:10:13,320
before the fall.
The earth will be restored to

158
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,480
its terrestrial state during
Millennium.

159
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,840
They said, me, I looked downward
and I saw paradise, and that

160
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:24,400
place is inconceivably pleasant.
And I saw the trees in full

161
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,040
flower, and their fruits were
ripe and pleasant, smelling in

162
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,520
every food and yielding and
giving off profusely a pleasant

163
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,640
fragrance.
And in the midst of them was the

164
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,120
tree of life, the tree of life
and that place where the Lord

165
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,640
takes a rest when He goes into
paradise, which He talked about

166
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,800
in First Enoch.
And that tree is indescribable.

167
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,640
Her pleasantness and fine
fragments are more beautiful

168
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:52,680
than any other.
What this is, is an absolute

169
00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:58,600
confirmation of section 76.
What says that says that the

170
00:10:58,680 --> 00:11:04,520
that Jesus Christ ministers to
the terrestrial and the Holy

171
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,440
Ghost ministers to the
telestial?

172
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,360
Right.
And that the so that the

173
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,520
telestial do not have direct
access to Christ and the

174
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,200
terrestrial do not have direct
access to the Father.

175
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,480
Yeah, this Mormon doctrine
straight up in front of us.

176
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:31,720
Yep, Yep, All right.
Then he sees places of

177
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:36,720
punishment, and I said, whoa,
how very frightful this place

178
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,600
is.
And those man, his guide said to

179
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,440
me, This place Enoch, has been
prepared for those who do not

180
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:47,360
glorify God, who practice on the
earth the sin which is against

181
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,840
nature, which is child
corruption in the anus, in the

182
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:57,200
manner of Sodom.
Oh boy, now can.

183
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:58,760
This is actually deeper than
just.

184
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,280
I mean, just not deeper.
This is actually worse than just

185
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,560
LGBTQ stuff, right?
This seems to be which is child

186
00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:15,840
corruption.
Child Child essay I That's

187
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,160
rough.
Cool.

188
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:26,160
Yep, calling it out.
Now we go to hear from horrible

189
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,040
things to exquisite things.
And you understand why Enoch was

190
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:35,280
crying, I guess.
Yeah, well, even that fits a

191
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:39,680
pattern, right?
Arguably Joseph's worst day,

192
00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:44,640
when he's being come upon by
dark forces in the in the Sacred

193
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,720
Grove turns into his brightest
day in a moment's notice.

194
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:52,080
Yeah, in the middle of heaven I
saw armed troops.

195
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:59,520
This is the part of the 4th
Heaven armed troops worshiping

196
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,320
the Lord with tympani and pipes
and unceasing voices and

197
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,480
pleasant voices and pleasant and
unceasing in various songs which

198
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,440
it is impossible to describe,
and every mind would be quite

199
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:23,680
astonished.
See if we need to take a break

200
00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:27,760
or not.
Every mind would be quite

201
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:32,960
astonished, so marvelous and
wonderful is the singing of

202
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,960
these angels, and I was
delighted listening to them.

203
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:45,240
Then he goes to the 5th heaven.
By the way, in later accounts,

204
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:52,240
in I think Thirteenic describes
these heavens as being

205
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:58,360
concentric palaces, like
concentric circles, a palace

206
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,560
within a palace within a palace,
until you get to the center

207
00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:05,920
palace, which is, guess what,
the throne of God.

208
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,640
Many rooms are in my father's
mansion.

209
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:15,000
But consider the the order of
that circles within circles.

210
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,080
I mean, that's the Kolob theorem
again.

211
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,840
Yep.
And those men took me up on

212
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,640
their wings and placed me on the
5th Heaven.

213
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,800
But I saw their many innumerable
armies called Gregory.

214
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Guess who the Gregory are?
Now They call them those the

215
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,560
Giants.
And their appearance was like

216
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,720
the appearance of a human being,
and their size was larger than

217
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:45,000
that of large giants.
And their faces were dejected.

218
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,160
In the silence of their mouths
was perpetual.

219
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,840
So they were not singing and
there was no liturgy in the 5th

220
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,080
heaven.
So they weren't singing any

221
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,200
hymns.
And I said unto the men who were

222
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,760
with me, What is the explanation
that these ones are so very

223
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,600
dejected and their faces
miserable, and their mouth

224
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,880
silent?
And why is there no liturgy in

225
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,520
this heaven?
And those men answered me, These

226
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:12,240
are the good Gory who turned
aside from the Lord, together

227
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:16,240
with their Prince Satanayu.
These are the ones who fell, the

228
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,200
watchers who fell.
Interesting.

229
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:26,400
And they're ashamed, one of the
footnotes reads.

230
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,040
These must be the unfallen
watchers.

231
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:31,440
The brothers are the ones who
fell.

232
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:38,480
OK, that make that actually
makes more sense because there's

233
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,080
higher than than like what we
just read.

234
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,880
And that seems pretty good,
right?

235
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,600
And so if, if it's an ascending
pattern, which would make sense

236
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:51,880
with everything from Jacob's
ladder to to temple practice

237
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,520
there, that wouldn't make sense.
But it would make sense if it

238
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,280
was those who stayed righteous.
But yet we're still ashamed

239
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,000
because of their brethren, so to
speak.

240
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,400
Now we get to the rest of that
story.

241
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,920
Age 113.
Oops.

242
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,640
OK.
And these Grigory, they broke

243
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,800
the promise to God on the
shoulder of Mount Hermon.

244
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,280
They saw the daughters of men,
how beautiful they were, and

245
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,080
took wise for themselves, and
the earth was defiled by their

246
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,640
deeds.
Who and the wives of men created

247
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,720
great evil in the entire time of
this age, acted lawlessly and

248
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:47,720
practiced miscegenation, and
gave birth to giants and great

249
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:52,360
monsters and great enmity.
And that is why God has judged

250
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,360
them with a great judgment.
And they mourn their brothers,

251
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,880
and they will be outraged on the
great day of the Lord.

252
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:06,319
And I said to the Grigory, I
have seen this is Enoch says,

253
00:17:06,319 --> 00:17:09,319
yeah, I was there.
I have seen your brothers and

254
00:17:09,319 --> 00:17:12,160
their deeds and their torments
and their great prayers, and I

255
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,560
have prayed for them.
That's incredible.

256
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,760
Forgive your enemies.
Yeah, but the Lord has sentenced

257
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,319
them under the earth until
heaven and earth are ended

258
00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:27,240
forever.
And I said, why are you waiting

259
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,280
for your brothers?
And why don't you perform the

260
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:31,920
liturgy before the face of the
Lord?

261
00:17:32,120 --> 00:17:35,600
Start your liturgy and perform
the liturgy before the face of

262
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,440
the Lord, so that you do not
enrage your Lord God to the

263
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:43,040
limit.
Is thou cool?

264
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,920
Enoch is.
And they responded to my

265
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,720
recommendation.
And they stood in four regiments

266
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,480
in this heaven.
And behold, while I was standing

267
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,960
with those men, 4 trumpets
trumpeted in Usen with a great

268
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,360
sound, and the Grigory burst
into singing in unison, and

269
00:17:57,360 --> 00:18:01,520
their voice rose in front of the
face of the Lord, piteously and

270
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,440
touchingly.
I think that's cool.

271
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:11,800
This is interesting and there's
some old stuff that I'd once

272
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,360
heard from from a few old timers
on on something that's going to

273
00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:21,280
touch this Enoch.
I don't think it's completely

274
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,680
translated yet.
Is that right or wrong here,

275
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:28,280
Ken?
This is a vision so, well,

276
00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:33,440
that's a good question I can't
answer entirely because his I

277
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,400
don't think his city is
translated yet.

278
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:42,320
OK, so there's there's again,
there was a few old timers I've

279
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,560
heard this from who said that
there were teachings that were

280
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,360
taught to them that were taught
to their grandfathers.

281
00:18:48,360 --> 00:18:51,840
There's nothing written down
here on this but that those who

282
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,880
had been in doubt, who had the
garment essentially.

283
00:18:55,800 --> 00:19:02,200
Yeah.
Can can ask for angelic help,

284
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,120
right, in a way that's different
than just say, praying about it.

285
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,840
This is fascinating to me
because it seems here that these

286
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:18,120
these Grigory are recognizing
some sort of authority that

287
00:19:18,120 --> 00:19:22,640
Enoch has so that he can speak
to them, some sort of comfort

288
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,560
that causes them to break forth
into singing.

289
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:31,320
And I find it interesting that a
mortal in this vision is having

290
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,280
this kind of an impact.
But yeah, what I think is

291
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,840
interesting.
I saw the horrible things that

292
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,120
they did, and I'm praying for
them.

293
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:42,440
Yeah.
Isn't that incredible?

294
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:44,960
Yeah.
Yeah, That's crazy.

295
00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:49,000
All right.
And those men, his guides, took

296
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,120
me from there and they carried
me up to the 6th heaven.

297
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,520
And I saw their seven groups of
angels.

298
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,800
Brilliant and glorious, regular.
And their faces were more

299
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,640
radiant than the radiance of the
sun.

300
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,080
So with each progressive heaven,
things are getting more and more

301
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,600
glorious.
So we started in the stellar

302
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,360
regions, now we're in with the
sun.

303
00:20:09,120 --> 00:20:11,200
And there was no difference
between their faces or in the

304
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:12,920
dimensions or in the style of
their clothing.

305
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,160
And these groups carry out and
carefully study the movements of

306
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,680
the stars and the revolution of
the sun and the phases of the

307
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,400
moon and the well-being of the
cosmos.

308
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,480
And when they see any evil
activity.

309
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,000
They put the commandments and
instructions in order, and the

310
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,720
sweet choral singing and every
kind of glorious praise.

311
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,600
These are the archangels who are
over the angels, and they

312
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,040
harmonize all existence,
heavenly and earthly.

313
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,840
And angels who are over seasons
and years, and angels who are

314
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,080
over rivers and ocean, and
angels who are over the fruits

315
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:46,640
of the earth and over every kind
of grass.

316
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,120
And we give every kind of food,
every kind of living thing.

317
00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:53,600
And angels who record all human
souls and all their deeds of all

318
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,360
their lives before the face of
the face of the Lord.

319
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,760
And in the midst of them are 7
phoenixes and seven cherubim and

320
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,200
seven Sixth wing beings.
Again, these other beings who

321
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,760
are participating in the Great
Plan, having but one voice and

322
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,320
singing in unison.
They're unified.

323
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,440
They're one.
Their song is not to be

324
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,720
reported.
You can't write it, you can't

325
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,280
describe it.
And the Lord is delighted by His

326
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,600
footstool, and then he goes to
the 7th heaven.

327
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,200
These men carried him up in 7th
heaven.

328
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,800
And I saw there an exceptionally
great light on all the fiery

329
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,120
armies, the great archangels,
and the incorporeal forces.

330
00:21:31,120 --> 00:21:34,680
Incorporeal, those who don't
have bodies yet, and the

331
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,720
dominions and the origins and
the authorities and the

332
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,520
cherubim.
Remember when the earth was

333
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,440
first created, it was created
spiritually before it was

334
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,960
created temporarily.
Yep, and it was nigh unto Kolob

335
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,960
when that happened.
What that means is that when

336
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,040
things were placed upon the
earth spiritually before

337
00:21:56,040 --> 00:22:03,800
physically, it was done in a
terrestrial state and in our

338
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:09,560
premortal spiritual form.
Were we celestial beings?

339
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,800
No.
No, because I think you have to

340
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,680
have think you got to have Subs
well and again you.

341
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,400
Can't, you can't obtain the
celestial without making those

342
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,160
covenants.
We have not yet made those

343
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,360
covenants.
So technically when we say

344
00:22:27,360 --> 00:22:29,520
return, you know, we want to
return home.

345
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,280
It's not really.
That's not we were.

346
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,920
We've never been to the
celestial, but we did have

347
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,720
access to God in the
terrestrial.

348
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,720
OK.
So this it could mean pre mortal

349
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:48,720
spirits, most mortal spirits in
Paradise, you know, awaiting

350
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,680
their resurrection, Yeah.
Yeah, the doors wide open on

351
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:56,200
that.
Let's see incorporeal forces and

352
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,280
the Dominions and the origins
and the authorities, the

353
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,400
Cherubim and the Seraphim and
the many Eyed Thrones regiments

354
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,680
and the shining stations.
And I was terrified, and I

355
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,480
trembled with a great fear.
So he's seen all these glories

356
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,920
up to now, but this one's
freaking him out.

357
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,400
And those men picked me up and
LED me into their midst.

358
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,520
And they said to me, be brave,
Enoch, don't be frightened.

359
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,560
And this is interesting because
in 3rd Enoch the role is going

360
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,560
to be reversed for him.
Really.

361
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,680
Because he becomes one of those
angels.

362
00:23:34,360 --> 00:23:36,680
OK.
And he's helping Rabbi Ishmael

363
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,680
do the same thing.
This is so cool.

364
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,560
And these two documents have no
knowledge of one another as far

365
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:47,120
as the the Providence goes.
And they showed me the Lord from

366
00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:50,920
a distance, sitting on his
exceedingly high throne for what

367
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,880
is on the 10th heaven?
Ah, so from the 7th heaven, from

368
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,960
Paradise he can see the
celestial.

369
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,680
In fact, we read that when Adam
and Eve were in the Garden of

370
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,720
Eden before the fall, they could
see the Father.

371
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:06,880
Yep, from a distance.
That makes sense.

372
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:12,560
Couldn't be in his presence, but
they could see for what is on

373
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,640
the 10th heaven, since the Lord
is present there.

374
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,720
And on the 10th heaven is gone.
And it is called in the Hebrew

375
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,800
language Aravath.
And all the heavenly armies came

376
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,760
and stood on the 10 steps
corresponding to their ranks,

377
00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:26,920
and they did obeisance to the
Lord.

378
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,800
And then they went to their
places in joy and merriment and

379
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,680
in immeasurable light, singing
songs with soft and gentle

380
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,880
voices, while presenting the
liturgy to Him gloriously.

381
00:24:40,360 --> 00:24:43,520
How interesting.
He sees the 8th heaven.

382
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:49,040
He sees the 9th heaven, which he
doesn't describe necessarily,

383
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:54,600
which would be of if if there
are three divisions to the

384
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,520
celestial he saw where the
ministering angels are.

385
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,200
The second degree of this
celestial, which we have no

386
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,800
description of in ours, reveal
scripture and then exaltation

387
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,200
would be the 10th.
I thought we could work that out

388
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,840
if we tried.
And on the 10th Heaven Avaroff,

389
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:16,200
I saw the view of the face of
the Lord, like iron made burning

390
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,480
hot in a fire and brought out.
I'm told that when iron is is

391
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,840
glowing hot, it's like 1500°,
something like that.

392
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,600
This is going to be a lot hotter
than that, I'm sure.

393
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,200
And it emits sparks that is
incandescent.

394
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:33,080
He's describing, I mean light
emanating from this face in and

395
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,160
is glowing.
Thus even I saw the face of the

396
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:37,640
Lord.
But the face of the Lord is not

397
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,640
to be talked about.
It is so very marvelous and

398
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,720
supremely awesome and supremely
frightening.

399
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,920
And who am I to give an account
of the incomprehensible being of

400
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,280
the Lord and of His face, so
extremely strange and

401
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,720
indescribable?
And how many are His commands

402
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,560
and his multiple voice
remembered?

403
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,760
Section 110 talks about
describing the voice of God as

404
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,240
the rushing of many waters, the
rushing of great waters.

405
00:26:02,120 --> 00:26:03,360
Yep.
Can you imagine that?

406
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,640
Absolutely.
And the Lord's throne,

407
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,640
supremely, supremely great, and
not made by hands.

408
00:26:11,360 --> 00:26:16,000
The choir stalls all around him,
the cherubim and the seraphim

409
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,840
armies, and they're never silent
singing.

410
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,320
Who can give an account of this
beautiful appearance, never

411
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,840
changing and indescribable, in
His great glory?

412
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:40,440
Chapter 21 starting with verse 8
and the Lord said to Michael, go

413
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,760
now, Now it's time for the real
thing.

414
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:47,240
After the vision, go and extract
Enoch from his earthly clothing.

415
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:53,760
Here we go.
I the voices that came into my

416
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:58,520
head are from the adult getting
specific instructions to

417
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:02,680
Michael.
Yep, go and do this and then do

418
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,840
this.
It's very go and extract Enoch

419
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,480
from his earthly clothing and
anoint.

420
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,920
I mean, Oh my goodness, is that
not ringing in your ears.

421
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,720
Yeah, anoint.
So go and do this and then do

422
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,480
this and instruct into this.
Holy smokes.

423
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,560
See, I've read this 100 times
and I'm just this.

424
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,000
All this stuff has been brought
in my head.

425
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:29,120
Describing a It's describing an
endowment, or part of the

426
00:27:29,120 --> 00:27:32,680
endowment at least.
Yes, it is in the same verbiage

427
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,080
that we get in our endowment.
Yep.

428
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,760
Go and extract Enoch from his
earthly clothing and anoint him

429
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,800
in my delightful oil and put him
into the clothes of my glory.

430
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:48,640
Ha ha, ha, ha.
And its ointment is like sweet

431
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,040
dew in its fragrance, myrrh, and
it is like the rays of the

432
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:56,000
glittering sun.
And I looked at myself and I had

433
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,360
become like one of his glorious
ones.

434
00:27:58,360 --> 00:28:00,600
And there was no observable
difference.

435
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:07,120
He's describing terrestrial
glory in 3rd Enoch.

436
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:12,160
In 3rd Enoch, he's going to
describe celestial glory.

437
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:19,120
I was going to say, this should
be one of those things that help

438
00:28:19,120 --> 00:28:22,960
us put the endowment and the
ordinance itself into

439
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,160
perspective.
Amen.

440
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,800
Oh yeah.
We should come out of the temple

441
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:36,880
changed from when we went in and
we we need to understand that

442
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,320
this is a transformative
process.

443
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:44,840
And Enoch brings that to bear
here when he says, And I beheld

444
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:50,680
myself like I was one of the
glorious ones right that you're

445
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,240
in down.
There's no observable

446
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,640
difference, yeah.
You you should understand that

447
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,040
you should come out of there
different than what you went in

448
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,200
very good.
And that doesn't mean it's going

449
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,880
to happen all at once.
You got to keep going back, but

450
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:10,160
at some point, if this doesn't
become real for us, we're not

451
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:14,360
picking up the full and the full
effect of the temple and its

452
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:18,320
teachings and its ordinances.
Or as Alma described it, the

453
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,760
mighty change, right?
Have you, have you experienced

454
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,680
that mighty change?
All right, Here he talks about

455
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:29,880
sit down, write and witness all
the souls of men, whatever of

456
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:34,000
them, are not yet born, and
their places prepared for

457
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,360
eternity.
For all the souls are prepared

458
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,040
for eternity before the
composition of the earth.

459
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:46,720
Booyah.
Talking about a pre existence

460
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,440
which is uniquely Mormon as
well.

461
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,480
Oh my goodness, All things are
created spiritually before they

462
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,680
were created temporarily.
That's straight out of the

463
00:29:54,680 --> 00:30:01,160
Doctrine Covenants. 100% no that
darn Joseph.

464
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,720
Smith, he must.
He must have.

465
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,760
He must have a copy of Second
Enix somewhere, I'm sure.

466
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,600
He must somewhere.
In proto, in proto Russian, that

467
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,480
he somehow knew how to read.
That's amazing.

468
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,040
Now we're going to read about
Satan's expulsion.

469
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,760
So this is chapter 29 of Second
Enix.

470
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,360
And from the Rock I cut off a
great fire.

471
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:32,960
And from the fire I created the
ranks of the bodyless armies. 10

472
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,560
myriad angels.
And their weapons are fiery, and

473
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,560
their clothes are burning
flames.

474
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,720
I take you.
This is a description of the war

475
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,480
in heaven.
You see why this is talking

476
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,080
about us?
And I gave orders that each

477
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:56,320
should stand in his own rank.
Here Satanael was hurled from

478
00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:01,880
the height together with his
angels, but one from the order

479
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:08,040
of the Archangels deviated Satan
together with the division that

480
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:12,640
was under his authority.
He thought up the gosh, we know

481
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,480
this story, but listen to how
listen to the words that are

482
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,160
used that are it sounds so fresh
this way.

483
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:23,640
He, the the one who the
rebelled, thought up the

484
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:28,200
impossible idea that he might
place his throne higher than the

485
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,240
clouds which are above the
earth, that he might become

486
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,640
equal to my power, saith the
Lord.

487
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,960
Give me thine honor.
He so he thought up the

488
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:44,960
impossible idea, saying did, and
I hurled him out from the height

489
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,120
together with his angels, and he
was flying around in the air,

490
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:53,240
ceases ceaselessly above the
bottomless, and thus I created

491
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:57,720
the entire heavens.
And the third day king, ha ha ha

492
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,600
ha.
Yeah, they're describing the war

493
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,720
in heaven right there.
And and also, you know, talking

494
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,800
about, you know, the the the
fight that was had, right.

495
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,840
And and Lucifer's contention was
give me your honor.

496
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,560
That's that's what he wanted.
Oh, it was also yeah, he wanted

497
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:20,400
to be the best or he he'd rather
reign in hell than serve in

498
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,280
heaven.
That's his problem.

499
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:29,280
This describes the fall of Adam
in more of a doctrine terms.

500
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:34,280
And I assigned to him 4 special
stars, and called his name Adam,

501
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:41,800
and I gave him his free will.
Who says that latter They say

502
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,520
the endowments.
And I pointed out to him the two

503
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,600
ways, the light and the
darkness.

504
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,320
And I said to him, This is good
for you, but that is bad, so

505
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,800
that I might come to know
whether he has love toward me,

506
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,560
or abhorrence, so that I might
become plain.

507
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:04,200
Who among his race loves me?
We shall prove them herewith,

508
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,480
right?
Whereas I have come to know His

509
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,520
nature, He does not know his own
nature.

510
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:15,760
This is why we had to fall.
God all God already knows.

511
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,360
Yep, but He has to prove it for
himself.

512
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:24,640
That is why ignorance is more
lamentable than the sin, such as

513
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,240
it is in Him to sin because they
don't.

514
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:28,680
If you're, you don't know your
nature.

515
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,960
And I said after sin, there is
nothing for it but death.

516
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,720
We have to die so that we could
be resurrected, be freed of our

517
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,920
sins.
And I assigned a shade for him,

518
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,720
and I imposed a sleep upon him,
and he fell asleep.

519
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:49,280
And while he was sleep sleeping,
I took from him a rib, and I

520
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:53,880
created for him a wife.
So that death, this is the best

521
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,840
part.
So the death might come to him

522
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:04,160
by his wife.
Wow, knowing that Eve would be

523
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,840
the first partake and then get
her husband to partake.

524
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:12,040
Yeppers, I see.
Rightfully so, by the way.

525
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:17,360
Oh wow, you know what I've been
learning about priesthood?

526
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,159
Patriarchy.
What's that?

527
00:34:22,679 --> 00:34:25,159
The holy peace adapted or the
Son of God is patriarchal?

528
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:31,679
Meaning those who who have
patriarchal priesthood are

529
00:34:31,679 --> 00:34:38,040
striving to become like Father?
Who are women striving to become

530
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:42,120
like?
Well, his counterpart, Heavenly

531
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,199
Mother.
They are matriarchs.

532
00:34:44,199 --> 00:34:49,719
They're not patriarchs, right?
That is correct.

533
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:54,840
And women come into this world
full-fledged matriarch,

534
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:59,520
patriarch, patriarchy,
patriarchal priesthood has to be

535
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,800
bestowed upon conditions of
worthiness.

536
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:11,200
Matriarchs are born matriarchs,
and even in sin they can still

537
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:17,520
give life.
And it requires absolutely those

538
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:21,880
two roles, those two
priesthoods, patriarchy and

539
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:26,160
matriarchy, for the plan of
salvation to function. 100%.

540
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:31,560
Matriarchy is responsible for
the tree of knowledge, which is

541
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:38,120
what brings up Adam was born
into mortality through Eve, the

542
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:42,120
ultimate matriarch, and we
ascend.

543
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,240
By her, By her giving him the
fruit.

544
00:35:44,240 --> 00:35:44,800
Yeah, I.
Can.

545
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,920
That's right.
She gave birth to him

546
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,560
temporarily.
Incredible.

547
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,760
She fulfilled that role.
Matriarchy is in charge of that,

548
00:35:55,240 --> 00:35:58,760
getting us here, bringing us
into this world.

549
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:03,080
The patriarchy has
responsibility for the theory of

550
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:08,280
life, which ultimately retrieve
us from this world.

551
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:10,480
We cannot have one without the
other.

552
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,840
So the women who say we want
priesthood authority, you nibly

553
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:20,280
would say you already have it.
Why do you want authority from

554
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,360
men?
Why do you want to be a

555
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,080
patriarch?
You're not a patriarch.

556
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:32,640
You do you understand your role?
Do you understand your

557
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,760
authority?
Right.

558
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:40,440
And even as matriarchs, they do
have patriarch authority to

559
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:46,160
function in the ordinances
within the walls of the temple

560
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:52,120
and are set apart and have
authority given them to function

561
00:36:52,880 --> 00:37:00,080
in the callings within the
realms of of the Kingdom of God

562
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,080
on the earth.
OK, blah blah blah.

563
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:06,160
Enough digression.
OK, Chapter 31, Perfect sense.

564
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,640
And I created for him, Speaking
of Adam and open heaven.

565
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:16,480
So here he is in paradise, the
terrestrial, but heaven was open

566
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,760
so that he might look just as we
talked about he's in, we could

567
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:23,480
call it the 7th heaven, but he
can see, but he, he can see the

568
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:31,240
10th or at least the 8th going
on from there, skipping

569
00:37:31,240 --> 00:37:38,960
ascension, a dreary which looks
like this, singing the triumphal

570
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,120
song.
So we can see heaven, the Angel

571
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:45,000
singing and the light which is
never darkened was perpetually

572
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,400
in paradise.
And the devil understood how I

573
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:55,840
wished to create another world
so that everything could be

574
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,720
subjected to Adam on the earth
to rule and reign over it.

575
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:03,400
The devil is of the lowest
places and he will will become a

576
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:07,000
demon because he fled from
heaven, because his name was

577
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,040
Satana Ayil.
In this way he became different

578
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,480
from the angels.
His nature did not change what

579
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,960
his thought did.
Since his since his

580
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,640
consciousness of righteousness,
sinful things changed.

581
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:23,560
Interesting description.
And he became aware of his

582
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:28,200
condemnation and of the sin
which he sinned previously, and

583
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:34,520
that is why he thought up the
scheme against Adam, or as Lehi

584
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:38,760
put it, that he might make all
men miserable like unto himself.

585
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:51,040
Oh boy, let's do that.
OK, 156 God shows Enoch.

586
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,080
This is chapter 33 of Cenoch.
Second, God shows Enoch the

587
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:58,520
epoch of this world, the age of
this world, world, the existence

588
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:05,080
of 7000 years, and the 8000 is
the end.

589
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:07,960
The years are months and weeks
are days.

590
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,040
So there's talk about the eight
thousandth year, which is the

591
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:17,000
winding up of the set of that of
the 7000 temporal years.

592
00:39:17,720 --> 00:39:20,120
The temporal existence of the
world is 7000 years.

593
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:24,360
According to Doctrine Covenant
section 77, Christ was born in

594
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:28,080
the Meridian of time.
Well, he was born of 4000.

595
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,920
That's not the Meridian of 7000.
It is the Meridian of 8000.

596
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:37,000
So 8008 thousand.
And Joseph F Smith taught about

597
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,400
this eight thousandth year being
necessary.

598
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,480
It's the finishing up of what
happened in the 7000 years,

599
00:39:44,720 --> 00:39:46,560
right?
Pretty awesome stuff.

600
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:56,640
Oh, totally.
OK, here's this again, and all

601
00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:01,240
the world finally marked that
again, and all the world will be

602
00:40:01,240 --> 00:40:04,720
reduced to confusion by
iniquities and wickedness.

603
00:40:04,720 --> 00:40:11,240
This is chapter 34 talk about
the wicked by iniquities and

604
00:40:11,240 --> 00:40:14,480
wickednesses and abominable
fornications.

605
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:20,400
That is friend with friend in
the anus, and every other kind

606
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:24,560
of wicked uncleanliness which is
disgusting to report.

607
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,840
And the worship of the evil one.
There it is.

608
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:37,200
Oh, this is cool.
Chapter 35, speaking to Enoch.

609
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:41,720
And I will leave a righteous man
from your tribe, together with

610
00:40:41,720 --> 00:40:44,640
all his house, who will act in
accordance with my will.

611
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:50,360
And from his seed another
generation will arise, the last

612
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,160
of many.
So I think the first one we're

613
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:58,920
talking about Noah, but after
the last of many generations,

614
00:40:59,920 --> 00:41:02,240
but even out of those, the
majority will be very

615
00:41:02,240 --> 00:41:04,960
insatiable.
That describes our day.

616
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:09,880
And I shall raise up for that
generation someone who will

617
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:14,640
reveal to them the books in your
handwriting and those of your

618
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:18,000
father's.
And he will have to point out

619
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:23,320
who did that.
Joseph Smith.

620
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:28,520
Poca, Moses, come on.
I'm Yep, I'm just reading here

621
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:29,680
still.
Yeah.

622
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,000
And you will have to point.
You can't read ahead.

623
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,320
Stop doing that.
My bad, my bad.

624
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,080
You know I'm messing with you.
You can read every whatever you

625
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,680
want.
And he will have to point out to

626
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:44,600
them the guard tower of the
earth, truthful men and those

627
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:49,560
who carry out my will and do not
invoke my name invalidly.

628
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:55,760
And you we'll tell that
generation, and they, when they

629
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:59,800
have read them, will be more
glorified in the end than in the

630
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:01,080
beginning.
Wait.

631
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:07,040
Yeah, OK, this is fascinating.
So it, it definitely is

632
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:08,840
describing Joseph Smith there,
right.

633
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:14,680
That part where it says who do
not invoke my name in validity,

634
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:18,840
right?
To me, that is very much akin to

635
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,520
Then you're all near to me with
their lips, but their hearts are

636
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:22,840
far.
Hearts the heart.

637
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:26,120
Exactly.
The last sentence here gets me.

638
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,720
Here's the interesting one, the
last sentence.

639
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,120
And you?
I assume he's speaking to Enoch.

640
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,560
Yes.
Tell that generation and they,

641
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:39,800
when they have read them, will
be more glorified in the end

642
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:43,600
than from the beginning.
In my opinion, what he's saying

643
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:46,960
here is that Enoch, you're going
to write all this down, right?

644
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:50,160
And it makes it makes mention of
that when they have read them

645
00:42:50,720 --> 00:42:55,680
right, you will teach them this
and they will be glorified for

646
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:59,760
it.
Moses Chapter 7 teaches

647
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:05,480
describes how the people of the
city of Enoch will greet us when

648
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:09,880
we are caught up to meet the and
we will kiss one another, it

649
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:16,480
says, and the meaning of and
that generation will be more

650
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:19,880
glorified in the end than in the
beginning.

651
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:23,240
The beginning was the fall,
right?

652
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:26,040
And the end is the is the
Millennium.

653
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:31,400
So people will be more glorified
in the Millennium than they were

654
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,040
even when Adam and Eve are on
the earth.

655
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,280
It's the same glory, but more
glorious because there's going

656
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,120
to be more of it.
Right.

657
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,320
Is what that says to me
Interesting.

658
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:50,240
Chapter 41 And I saw, oh, this
is Enoch speaking, and I saw all

659
00:43:50,240 --> 00:43:52,760
those from the age of my
ancestors with Adam and Eve.

660
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,440
And I sighed and burst into
tears.

661
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,960
Enoch weeps again.
And I said concerning their

662
00:43:59,960 --> 00:44:04,040
disreputable depravity.
Oh, how miserable for me is my

663
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,200
incapacity and that of my
ancestors.

664
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,480
I thought in my heart and I
said, how blessed is the person

665
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:14,320
who has not been born, or who
having been born, has not sinned

666
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,080
before the face of the Lord, so
that he will not come into this

667
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:20,760
place nor carry the yolk of this
place.

668
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:26,680
He has such compassion, he does,
which is why he's as wonderful

669
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:30,960
as he is, as he has the love of
Christ within him.

670
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:38,640
Chapter 42.
And I ascended to the east, into

671
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:42,800
the paradise of Edom Eden, where
rest is prepared for the

672
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:47,160
righteous, the terrestrial, and
it is open as far as the 3rd

673
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:49,480
heaven.
But it is closed off from this

674
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,880
work.
And the guards are appointed at

675
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,360
very large gates to the east of
the sun.

676
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:59,960
Angels of flame singing victory
songs in every silent rejoicing

677
00:44:59,960 --> 00:45:03,440
in the arrival of the righteous.
Just what Brigham and Young

678
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:08,720
described the guards this our.
Centuries, yeah.

679
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:14,080
Yes, when the last one arrives,
he will bring out Adam together

680
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,960
with the ancestors, and he will
bring them in there so that they

681
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,520
may be filled with joy, just as
a person invites his best

682
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,800
friends to have dinner with him
and they arrive at it.

683
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:26,400
Talk about this heavenly
banquet.

684
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:28,920
Yeah.
And how and the parable of the

685
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,520
10 virgins, the celebration of
the feast.

686
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:37,800
This is.
I love how God describes how he

687
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:43,400
wants to interact with us like
this, like like a like a family

688
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,240
dinner, eating together and
visiting together and

689
00:45:46,240 --> 00:45:49,480
celebrating together.
This is intimate, right?

690
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:50,760
This is not.
Yeah.

691
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:56,640
A God that is, again, only half
interested in humanity.

692
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,240
Without body parts or passions.
Baloney.

693
00:45:59,240 --> 00:46:02,800
Exactly.
Yeah, They may be filled with

694
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:06,080
joy, just as a person invites
his best friends to have dinner

695
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:10,120
with him and they arrive with
joy and they talk together in

696
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,880
front of that man's palace.
Could you imagine doing that

697
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:18,560
with Joseph, Oregon, Adam, OR?
Enoch the Amazing.

698
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:23,920
Or John waiting with joyful
anticipation to have dinner with

699
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:28,000
delightful enjoyments and riches
that cannot be measured, and joy

700
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:33,200
and happiness in eternal light
and life, and Adamant's

701
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:36,640
perxiety.
Chapter 44.

702
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:45,920
The Lord with his own two hands
created mankind in a facsimile

703
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:50,400
of his own face.
So this is this is more specific

704
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,640
than created.
God created man in his own

705
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,800
image.
No created man with the same

706
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:59,440
face as he has.
Both small and great.

707
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:03,000
The Lord created them.
I love the verbiage of that.

708
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,600
And the facsimile of his own
faith.

709
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,200
Yeah, it looks just like his own
faith.

710
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:15,240
How we would say that Here we
are, Chapter 49.

711
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:18,680
Here we can talk about premortal
stuff.

712
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:24,400
Even before any person was in
his mother's womb individually,

713
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:29,640
A place I prepared for each
soul, as well as a set of scales

714
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:34,800
and a measurement of how long
he, God intends him, the person

715
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:39,280
to live in this world so that
each person may be investigated

716
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:43,760
with it investigated being
proven right.

717
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:46,600
Yes, children do not deceive
yourselves.

718
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,720
Therefore, each human soul,
we're not thrown into this.

719
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:54,520
No, the careful preparation.
By the way, this.

720
00:47:54,520 --> 00:48:00,360
Is why I struggle so hard with
the arguments from folks who say

721
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:01,840
they were born in the wrong
body.

722
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:08,400
The other thing I like is and a
measurement of how long he

723
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:11,280
intends him to live in this
world is echoed in the Doctrine

724
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:12,960
and Covenants.
I.

725
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:17,520
That the days of our birth and
our death are foreknown by God.

726
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:19,760
We don't choose that.
We don't choose that.

727
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:23,280
That's chosen for us.
Everything else we choose, but

728
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:27,800
we are put in a specific time
and place for our own, for our

729
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:34,000
greatest good.
This is a simple little thing,

730
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:38,400
but I love it because I've never
heard it in other scripture

731
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:42,520
where it says in the morning of
the day and in the middle of the

732
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:47,400
day and in the evening of the
day it is good to go to the

733
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:51,800
Lord's temple.
Interesting now now this.

734
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:56,000
Is he he could hear that at
General Conference this is.

735
00:48:56,200 --> 00:49:00,560
Interesting because this is
showing something else here and

736
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:06,200
I can only think about this in
terms of Enoch City, is that

737
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,960
they were still working with the
temple even back then.

738
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:18,080
Well, we know they had.
Yeah, in fact it wasn't.

739
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:21,840
And they were doing the full on
endowment.

740
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:23,240
Oh, they had the higher
priesthood.

741
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:26,600
Right.
Until they came out of Egypt,

742
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:28,200
and then they were no longer
prepared for it.

743
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,280
And that's when the law of Moses
was instigated.

744
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:37,160
But here we go.
This is so cool.

745
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:43,880
It talks about animals in
relationship to us, and the Lord

746
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:50,000
will not judge a single animal
for the sake of man, but human

747
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,840
souls, he will judge for the
sake of the souls of their

748
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:57,200
animals.
So animals.

749
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:00,880
So if somebody should eat, so if
a tiger will eat me, the Tiger's

750
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:02,760
not going to get judged for
that, doesn't know what he's

751
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:07,720
doing.
But if I go out and torture a

752
00:50:07,720 --> 00:50:10,880
tiger for sport, I will be
judged.

753
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:15,480
And that goes hand in hand with
Doctrine Covenant Section 49 and

754
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:18,040
Joseph Smith's translation of
Genesis when they come off the

755
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:20,760
Ark.
In addition to other things,

756
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:25,240
Joseph had taught about how to
wisely use the resources that

757
00:50:25,240 --> 00:50:25,560
were.
Here.

758
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:26,880
That's right.
That's right.

759
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,800
Yeah.
In the great age, in the great

760
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,120
age, there is a special place
for human beings.

761
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:37,560
And just as every human soul is
according to number, the souls

762
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,920
are known and the number are
known, so also it is with animal

763
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:42,760
souls.
It's not haphazard.

764
00:50:43,240 --> 00:50:46,080
They also are for known and
planned for.

765
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:50,640
And not a single soul which the
Lord has created will perish

766
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:55,880
until the great judgment, and
every kind of animal soul will

767
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:59,520
accuse the human beings who have
fed them badly.

768
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:07,960
That takes OK, look, Full
disclosure, I have a whole

769
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:10,440
menagerie of animals.
Some are pets, some are

770
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:17,200
livestock.
But but you should.

771
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:21,800
If there's one thing that that
just will irritate me, it's that

772
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:25,560
when I think the mark of a man
is how he treats those who were

773
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:28,600
lesser.
Yes.

774
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:30,080
Right.
And that.

775
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:32,560
Includes women, children, and
animals.

776
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,680
All of their life, all of their
life forms.

777
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:39,640
Yep, exactly.
And I think this goes to and

778
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:41,680
look, I have nothing against
hunting.

779
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,400
I've been a hunter.
I you know, I enjoyed it.

780
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:46,800
I don't think there's anything
wrong with that.

781
00:51:48,240 --> 00:51:51,360
But sport hunting, I do have a
little bit more of an issue with

782
00:51:52,240 --> 00:51:56,840
I, I don't, I, I find it a
little bit, a little bit on the

783
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:58,680
cusp of doing something you
probably shouldn't.

784
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:03,480
Well, if, if, if you enjoy the
shedding of blood, if you enjoy

785
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:07,280
taking life, you need to check
yourself, I think.

786
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:12,280
Here, Doctor Nutellas, make this
official section 89, verses 12

787
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:14,800
and 13.
Yeah.

788
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:17,840
Flesh also of beasts and the
fowls of the air.

789
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:22,600
I, the Lord have ordained for
the use of man with

790
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:25,880
Thanksgiving.
Nevertheless, they're to be used

791
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:27,640
sparingly.
And then he defines what he

792
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:31,040
means by that.
Later, verse 13, he goes on, he

793
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:36,600
says, and it is pleased only in
times of winter, or of cold, or

794
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:40,320
of famine, which Camp Peterson
could interpret.

795
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:43,680
They're for the use of man, but
only when you have no other

796
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:50,040
choice.
Winter, cold, famine, when you

797
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:56,360
got nothing else to eat, right.
And he explains himself again,

798
00:52:57,120 --> 00:53:00,080
verse 15.
And these hath God made,

799
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaking of the animals, these
hath God made for the use of man

800
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:07,000
only in times of famine and
excess of hunger.

801
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:11,120
He doesn't want us to just take
life because we feel like it

802
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:15,640
take life when it's necessary.
Which is why during the

803
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:19,120
Millennium, the lion shall lie
down with the lamb, and the

804
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:22,880
enmity between man and beast
will be gone, because we won't

805
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:25,600
be eating each other because we
don't have to anymore.

806
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:30,760
That's pretty cool.
And which is why in First Enoch

807
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:34,120
it was a sin when the giants
began eating the animals,

808
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,520
because apparently that was a
new thing that was taught to

809
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:40,560
them by the Gregory.
Interesting.

810
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:44,960
This is second Enoch chapter 59
again.

811
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:50,160
And he who puts to death any
kind of animal without bonds,

812
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:55,640
meaning not a animal that's not
domesticated, puts his own soul

813
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:59,400
to death and acts lawlessly with
his own flesh.

814
00:54:00,240 --> 00:54:04,720
And he'd who does any kind of
harm whatsoever to any kind of

815
00:54:04,720 --> 00:54:07,960
animal in secret, it is an evil
custom.

816
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:10,800
And he acts lawlessly with his
own soul.

817
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:16,800
And let's let's put it simply,
God loves his creatures, So

818
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:18,840
should we.
That's a pretty simple way to

819
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:20,360
put it, right?
Yep.

820
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:27,920
He defines murder in familiar
terms.

821
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:32,840
He who does harm to a human soul
creates harm for his own soul,

822
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:38,720
and there is for him no healing
of his flesh, nor any

823
00:54:38,720 --> 00:54:42,840
forgiveness for eternity.
Murder, the shedding of innocent

824
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:48,360
blood, is an unforgivable sin.
How it is not.

825
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:52,680
Let's see, He who carries out
the murder of a human soul

826
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:57,200
causes the death of his own soul
and murders his own body, and

827
00:54:57,200 --> 00:54:59,560
there is no healing for him for
eternity.

828
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:04,640
He who lies in wait for another
person with any kind of trap, he

829
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:08,560
himself will be entangled in it,
and there is no healing for him

830
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:11,680
for eternity.
He who lies in wait for a person

831
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:15,200
in judgment, his retribution
will not be slackened in the

832
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:19,680
great judgment for eternity.
He who acts perversely or says

833
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:22,040
anything against any soul
righteousness will not be

834
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:25,560
created for Him and eternity.
That's pretty bold stuff.

835
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:31,080
That's very bold stuff.
Chapter 62 at the end.

836
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:36,800
This is interesting to me.
If the time specified elapses

837
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:43,080
and then he does it, he will not
be accepted and there is no

838
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:52,840
repent after death.
Alma for now is the time to same

839
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:54,960
thing.
Absolutely if if the if your

840
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:58,360
time runs out and then you do
it, it's too late.

841
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:02,640
Right.
Which is why vicarious work has

842
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:13,480
to be done in mortality anyway.
Now here we say Joseph Smith

843
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:21,000
taught that the teachings of
Enoch were about the atonement,

844
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:26,320
arguably 3000 years before the
atonement.

845
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:32,560
And here we have Enoch sing
saying for you be glorified in

846
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,400
front of the face of the Lord,
because you are the one whom the

847
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:39,280
Lord chose in preference, makes
it written of all his creation

848
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:43,400
of visual and the one who
carried away the sin of mankind.

849
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:48,240
That's a reference to the
atonement and the helper of your

850
00:56:48,240 --> 00:56:51,040
household.
And Enoch answered his people,

851
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:54,800
saying to all of them, listen,
my children, before ever

852
00:56:54,800 --> 00:57:00,320
anything existed and before ever
any created thing was created,

853
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:03,760
the Lord created the whole of
his creation.

854
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:07,840
He's talking about this.
Everything's great, spiritual.

855
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:10,440
Yep, right.
Visible and admissible.

856
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:14,760
Tracts.
The next and 2nd Enoch, talking

857
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:20,280
about time and the whole of
creation, visible and invisible,

858
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:22,480
which the Lord has created,
shall come to an end.

859
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:27,920
Then each person will go to the
Lord's great judgment, and then

860
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:32,280
all time will perish.
The temporal existence will be

861
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:35,640
finished, and afterward there
will be neither years, nor

862
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:39,240
months, nor days, nor hours.
They will be dissipated, and

863
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:42,520
after that they will not be
counted reckoned, but they will

864
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:45,000
constitute a single age.
And all the righteous who

865
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:47,320
escaped from the Lord's great
judgment will be collected

866
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:51,200
together into the great age, and
the great age will come about

867
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:53,000
for the righteous, and it will
be eternal.

868
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:58,360
And after that there will be
among them neither weariness,

869
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:02,160
nor sickness, nor affliction,
nor worry, nor want, nor

870
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:05,680
debilitation, nor night, nor
darkness, but they will have a

871
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:08,240
great light, a great
indestructible light in

872
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:10,160
Paradise, great and
incorruptible.

873
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:13,960
For everything corruptible will
pass away, and the incorruptible

874
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:18,280
will come into being, and will
be the shelter of the eternal

875
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:23,640
residences.
Final judgment.

876
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:32,200
Skip that one, you mentioned
this a little bit. 2O2 From

877
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:38,600
here, talking about the flood
again, the great storages of the

878
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:43,560
waters of heaven will come down
onto the earth in a great

879
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:46,040
substance, in accordance to the
first substance, and the whole

880
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:47,720
constitution of the earth will
perish.

881
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:50,800
All the earth will quake, and it
will be deprived of its

882
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:52,040
strength.
From that day.

883
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:57,560
Then I will preserve the son of
your son Lamech, his first son

884
00:58:57,560 --> 00:59:01,760
Noah, and from his heat I will
raise up another world.

885
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:07,440
There you go.
Ah, the world world of Adam is

886
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:11,280
now the world of Noah and his
seed will exist forever until

887
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:14,920
the 2nd destruction, when once
again mankind will have

888
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:19,760
committed sin in front of my.
Face Interesting.

889
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:26,200
Here's the last point.
The last quotation from Second

890
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:33,400
Enoch.
This is in Second Enoch after

891
00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:37,720
what?
Second Enoch chapter 71.

892
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:45,480
And afterward, in the last
generation, the last one before

893
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:49,960
Christ comes, there will be
another Melchizedek, the first

894
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:56,160
of twelve, the first of 12
priests, and the last will be

895
00:59:56,160 --> 01:00:01,760
the head of all, a great arch
priest, the word and power of

896
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:05,960
God, who will perform miracles
greater and more glorious than

897
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:10,560
all the previous ones.
He, this Melchizedek, will be

898
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:16,640
priest and king in the place
Akazon, that is to say, in the

899
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:21,200
center of the earth where Adam
was created, or we would say the

900
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:25,680
center place.
And there will be and there will

901
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:30,280
be His final grace.
And in connection with that arch

902
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:35,040
priest, it is written how he
also will be buried there, where

903
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:39,200
the center of the earth is, just
as Adam also buried his own son

904
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:42,960
there whom his brother Kane
murdered.

905
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:47,360
For he lay three years unburied
until he saw a bird call Jack on

906
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:50,840
how it buried its owner.
What?

907
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:55,520
It it OK, so this is before
Christ comes, right?

908
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:59,040
No.
I thought you said that at the

909
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:02,000
beginning.
No, this is talk about the

910
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,960
Melchizedek who will be in the
last generation.

911
01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:08,200
OK.
The last.

912
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:13,000
So maybe the last dispensation.
There will be another

913
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:18,640
Melchizedek, the first of 12
priests in this last generation,

914
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:22,920
ahead of all perform miracles
greater, more glorious than all

915
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:27,680
the previous ones.
Joseph Smith has done more for

916
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:31,120
the salvation of mankind.
That's where I was going and

917
01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:36,000
that's why I thought you said it
was before, before the the end

918
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:40,680
scene, right.
And Joseph Smith fits that to AT

919
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:45,480
right.
And if I'm not mistaken, I think

920
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:49,840
Joseph even named, I believe
it's the temple of Far West.

921
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:51,840
Don't quote me.
I'll have to Fact Check this and

922
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:54,800
then double and then get it out
if I'm wrong, but if I'm not

923
01:01:54,800 --> 01:02:03,480
mistaken Joseph said that around
where the temple lot was in far

924
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:14,000
West was where Abel was buried.
This is fascinating and and just

925
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:17,360
illuminating to a team.
He talks about because the last

926
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:22,560
book is it, Yeah.
Yep, there is nothing, there is

927
01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:25,720
nobody else that this fits
right.

928
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:31,280
And this also like if it fits
Joseph, then it fits Joseph's

929
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:35,880
assertions about Adam on
diamond, about the temple lot

930
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:40,280
and far West.
This is some this is some heavy,

931
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:42,840
heavy stuff here.
I thought you would like this.

932
01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:46,720
So he talks about the
Melchizedek, the first of 12

933
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:51,080
priests, 12 apostles, great
miracles, greater than any

934
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:52,840
before.
That is certainly true.

935
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:58,040
The salvation of all mankind
hinges on Joseph Smith.

936
01:02:59,960 --> 01:03:04,400
He will be in the center place.
That's Adam on diamond, where

937
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:07,360
Adam was created.
Yeah, we know where that is.

938
01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:10,720
And well.
And he will be buried there.

939
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:12,360
He was buried close enough for
me.

940
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:19,640
And why does it say where Abel
was buried and not where Adam

941
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:23,520
was buried?
Big question.

942
01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:28,680
Because other apocryphal texts,
and there are a number of them,

943
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:37,240
say that Adam's body was
mummified, prepared and

944
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:42,560
mummified and kept with gold,
frankincense, myrrh, and his

945
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:45,440
records that he dictated to
Seth.

946
01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:51,920
It's called The Cave of
Treasures and a cave, and it's

947
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:54,920
taught.
So in my book, if you look under

948
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:58,560
Adam Berdych, Golgotha, you'll
see all these records that

949
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:03,080
testify one another, different
provinces, different documents

950
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:06,320
that say that Adam's mummified
remains were carried upon the

951
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:09,040
Ark.
And when the Ark came to rest on

952
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:17,000
Mount Ararat, Melchizedek that
Shem and his son Shem and his

953
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:24,680
son Melchizedek transported
Adam's mummified remains from

954
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:28,920
Mount Era to the steppes of
Turkey, transported them to

955
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:34,480
Golgotha, Jerusalem, which was
at that point uninhabited.

956
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:37,960
As was the world right?
Interesting.

957
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:43,240
And once they got to Golgotha,
the earth opened up and Adam's

958
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:47,840
body was deposited there in
Gilgotha.

959
01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:52,320
And Melchizedek remained there
for the rest of his life to

960
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:58,480
stand guard over that body and
became the king of Salem, king

961
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:06,040
of Jerusalem now.
And it explains why that is so.

962
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:12,680
It was done so that at the
crucifixion, Christ's blood.

963
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:17,680
Right.
Would fall from his body onto

964
01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:21,800
the crown of Adam's mummified
remains.

965
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:26,600
As an Adam all die, so in Christ
shall all be made alive.

966
01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:31,840
What the symbolism of that
beautiful.

967
01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:38,080
It is amazing and what that has
to do with my book Joseph Smith

968
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:44,720
in Joseph Smith, Matthew in
Matthew when it says Golgotha,

969
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:49,400
which is translated place of the
skull, Joseph Smith changed

970
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:52,960
that.
Golgotha, meaning place of

971
01:05:52,960 --> 01:06:01,400
burial, is what he said.
Good.

972
01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:04,520
So that that's a connection that
my mind made.

973
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:08,120
It's not absolute, but that's
pretty.

974
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:10,840
That's pretty cool.
That's yeah, that is awesome.

975
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:16,000
The imagery is amazing.
All right, so do you have what

976
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:18,360
it takes for 3rd Enoch?
It'll go pretty quickly.

977
01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:24,640
I got what it takes.
Here we go.

978
01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:33,160
So here's the Book of 30 Enoch
about Rabbi Ishmael, a truly

979
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:43,160
historical rabbi from who died
in 132 the year 132 AD and five.

980
01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:55,200
Rabbi Ishmael said when I
ascended to the height to behold

981
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:59,760
the vision of the chariot Tada,
here's this vision again.

982
01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:06,840
I entered 6 palaces, one inside
the other.

983
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:13,760
The concentric circles.
They're within at the most inner

984
01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:15,920
palace.
Guess what, I'll just read it.

985
01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:19,560
I entered.
So this is third Enoch chapter 1

986
01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:23,000
verses one through 3.
When I ascended the when I

987
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:25,080
ascended to the height to behold
the vision of the chariot, I

988
01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:27,080
entered 6 palaces, one inside
the other.

989
01:07:27,840 --> 01:07:31,240
And when I reached the door of
the 7th palace, I paused in

990
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:36,280
prayer before the Holy 1 the
door of the last one.

991
01:07:37,160 --> 01:07:41,560
That's where he prayed before he
entered the 7th.

992
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:45,480
The whole it blessed be he.
I looked up and said, Lord of

993
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:49,400
the Universe, grant, I beseech
you that the merit of Aaron, son

994
01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:51,680
of Amram, love of peace, the
pursuer of peace, who received,

995
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:53,560
O Mount Sinai, the crown of
priesthood and Prince of your

996
01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:59,520
glory, may avail for me now,
because he knows where he

997
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:01,320
asking.
For help from the other side.

998
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:11,360
So he enters the 7th.
Oh my goodness, let's just go

999
01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:12,960
this far.
Oh my goodness.

1000
01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:19,600
Well, yeah, we'll read all the
shoot and cast me not from

1001
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:22,760
heaven at once.
When he said this prayer at the

1002
01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:27,920
7th palace.
The 7th Heaven, the Holy One,

1003
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:32,880
blessed be he, summoned to my
aid his servant, the Angel

1004
01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:38,479
Metatron, Prince of the Divine
Presence, Metatron.

1005
01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:43,160
He flew out to meet me with
great alacrity, to save me from

1006
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:44,840
the power of these lower
kingdoms.

1007
01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:51,160
He grasped me with his hand
before their eyes, and said to

1008
01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:55,640
me, Come into the presence of
the high and exalted King, to

1009
01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:57,800
behold the likeness of the
chariot.

1010
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:00,319
Oh, that's.
Right.

1011
01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:06,520
I'm thinking of the temple you'd
David.

1012
01:09:07,840 --> 01:09:11,040
So he's standing outside of the
celestial.

1013
01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:13,960
Yep.
The servant comes and grasps and

1014
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:16,880
by the hand says enter.
Oh, I.

1015
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:20,200
See.
Yep, Enter into the presence.

1016
01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:22,319
Do I have to spell it out,
David?

1017
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:25,160
And get myself in trouble with
everybody.

1018
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:26,960
Nope.
Nope.

1019
01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:29,080
Man, it's almost the same
wording.

1020
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:33,920
He grasped me with his hand.
Come into the come in peace,

1021
01:09:33,920 --> 01:09:36,560
into the presence of the High
and Exalted King.

1022
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:42,680
Then I entered the 7th palace,
and he led me to the camp of the

1023
01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:50,359
Shekinah.
The Shekinah is the Hebrew word

1024
01:09:50,359 --> 01:09:53,640
for the holy light that always
accompanied the presence of

1025
01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:57,680
Jehovah.
It was also referred to as the

1026
01:09:57,680 --> 01:10:05,400
veil of light.
It in Hebrew, which is a

1027
01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:10,360
gendered language, is feminine.
So he enters into the celestial,

1028
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:16,680
and the first thing he sees is
the camp of the Shekinah and the

1029
01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:20,760
veil.
In First Corinthians Chapter 11,

1030
01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:25,400
Paul says men should not bail
themselves when they pray or

1031
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:27,320
they're created the image and
glory of God.

1032
01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:33,200
But women who do bail themselves
when they pray are the glory of

1033
01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:37,680
the man.
So women aren't created the

1034
01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:41,040
image glory of God, they're
creating the image in the image

1035
01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:43,800
and glory of the mother, the
veil.

1036
01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:49,400
It is, so there is.
A.

1037
01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:55,520
Yeah, there is a sect of
Christianity, I believe they're

1038
01:10:55,520 --> 01:11:02,400
in Armenia, but don't quote me
on this, That when a bride veils

1039
01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:07,240
her face prior to the wedding
ceremony, she'll veil her face

1040
01:11:07,240 --> 01:11:12,440
and people will go up to her and
essentially OfferUp prayers not

1041
01:11:12,440 --> 01:11:16,920
to her, but to God.
In front of the veil.

1042
01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:19,440
That is so cool.
Exactly.

1043
01:11:19,480 --> 01:11:24,080
Yep, Yep, that is so cool.
When I had read that I was, I

1044
01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:26,640
was kind of blown away.
And this this really jogged my

1045
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:32,720
memory of just that.
This is one of my favorite all

1046
01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:35,800
time accounts.
So here this old rabbi is

1047
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:40,960
granted access to the throne
room of God, led me to the camp

1048
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:45,000
of the Shekinah, the veil of
light, and presented me before

1049
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:48,640
the throne of glory, so that I
might behold the chariot.

1050
01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:54,600
But as soon as the Princess of
the chariot looked at me and the

1051
01:11:54,600 --> 01:12:00,040
fiery seraphim fixed their gaze
on me, I shrank back, trembling,

1052
01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:03,480
and fell down.
I want to make this just a bit

1053
01:12:03,480 --> 01:12:05,400
bigger.
What 30 innings seemed smaller.

1054
01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:09,840
Yeah.
Stunned.

1055
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:15,240
I So he fell down, stunned by
the radiant appearance of their

1056
01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:19,400
eyes and the bright vision of
their faces, until the Holy One,

1057
01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:23,560
blessed be he, rebuked them and
said, My servants, my seraphim,

1058
01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:28,720
my cherubim, on my opening, hide
your eyes from Ishmael, my

1059
01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:34,960
beloved son and honored friend,
so that he does not shrink and

1060
01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:38,280
tremble so.
That's interesting because

1061
01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:42,800
there, there, there.
There's a pattern in the can't

1062
01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:48,600
really call it a pattern.
There's an incident in the DNC

1063
01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:52,520
and it's getting close to to
Joseph's end of his mortal

1064
01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:59,840
ministry and the Lord stops
calling him his disciples, his

1065
01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:03,120
apostles, and he, yes, calling
my friends.

1066
01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:10,840
Yes, I love and it seems.
Here that that that Ishmael gets

1067
01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:16,080
to that same point.
Because Ishmael knows God by

1068
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:18,680
now.
And God knows Ishmael because

1069
01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:21,720
they have.
Because he is devoted himself.

1070
01:13:22,480 --> 01:13:22,920
Yeah.
Yeah.

1071
01:13:22,920 --> 01:13:23,360
What?
What?

1072
01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:25,440
Let me ask you this question
though, Ken.

1073
01:13:25,440 --> 01:13:29,440
This is after the death and
resurrection of Jesus Christ.

1074
01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:36,280
Sure is.
And so how are we to rectify

1075
01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:39,200
this?
Because on some level, if he's

1076
01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:44,120
still a rabbi, unless he's a
rabbi in a Christian sect,

1077
01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:46,240
right?
We know that it's not a clean

1078
01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:49,080
transition from Judaism to
Christianity, right?

1079
01:13:49,080 --> 01:13:54,160
There's a few stages away.
And so is this, Is this a rabbi

1080
01:13:54,160 --> 01:14:00,040
who is overseeing one of these
Christian splinter groups from

1081
01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:01,880
Judaism, if you will?
What?

1082
01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:02,600
What?
Are we doing?

1083
01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:06,760
Yeah, this document doesn't say
I, I can't give any solid

1084
01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:12,520
answer, but we know he knew
Christ and he, we'll see if

1085
01:14:12,520 --> 01:14:14,160
that's a good question.
We'll leave that hanging out

1086
01:14:14,160 --> 01:14:17,880
there for a minute.
But I love about this.

1087
01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:22,440
He goes into the Kingdom and
he's scared to death and all of

1088
01:14:22,440 --> 01:14:26,080
his glorified beings are looking
at him like, what are you doing

1089
01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:27,440
here?
Doing here, yeah.

1090
01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:32,720
And the king himself?
Yeah.

1091
01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:37,480
Hide your eyes from Ishmael.
Don't scare him.

1092
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:43,640
He is my beloved son and my
honored friend, so that he does

1093
01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:48,520
not shrink and tremble so.
And at once the the Prince, the

1094
01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:52,960
servant Metatron, Prince of the
Divine Presence, came and

1095
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:55,480
revived me, Ishmael, and raised
me to my feet.

1096
01:14:56,440 --> 01:14:58,760
But still I had not enough
strength.

1097
01:14:59,520 --> 01:15:01,120
Not strength enough to sing a
hymn.

1098
01:15:01,280 --> 01:15:05,400
What's going on?
He's overwhelmed.

1099
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:10,280
So Ishmael goes through all
these kingdoms.

1100
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:12,800
Praise it.
The gate is LED into the 7th

1101
01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:15,600
heaven.
Christ acknowledges him and what

1102
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:17,440
he wants to do.
He wants to sing a hymn.

1103
01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:26,320
What is going on?
A hymn in Judaism is not a

1104
01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:32,440
Christian hymn.
What we call hymns are corals, 4

1105
01:15:32,440 --> 01:15:39,000
part choral pieces, and Judaism.
A hymn is a prayer, a literal

1106
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:42,040
prayer.
That's how they pray with all of

1107
01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:44,280
their being.
They pray with their voices, not

1108
01:15:44,280 --> 01:15:50,080
just their words.
Ishmael wanted to, wanted to

1109
01:15:50,840 --> 01:15:57,480
pray, give thanks and exaltation
with his voice, with all the

1110
01:15:57,480 --> 01:15:59,080
energy.
Pray with all the energy of

1111
01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:00,880
heart.
The Book of Mormon teaches us

1112
01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:04,120
that's what he wanted to do, but
he didn't have enough strength

1113
01:16:05,960 --> 01:16:08,240
before the glorious throne of
the glorious Kingdom, might as

1114
01:16:08,240 --> 01:16:12,520
the kings the most splendid of
potentates, until an hour had

1115
01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:15,960
passed.
He sits there for an hour,

1116
01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:22,280
glory, gates of peace, the gates
of wisdom, the gates of

1117
01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:25,800
strength, the gates of might,
gates of speech, gates of song,

1118
01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:29,600
gates of sanctifying praise,
gates of chant.

1119
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:34,880
He enlightened my eyes and my
heart to utter Psalm, praise,

1120
01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:39,320
jubilation, Thanksgiving, song,
glory, majesty, Lord, and

1121
01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:41,320
strength.
What did He do?

1122
01:16:41,680 --> 01:16:44,640
Wow.
He downloaded everything.

1123
01:16:45,440 --> 01:16:48,480
Yep.
God downloaded all of them on

1124
01:16:48,480 --> 01:16:52,280
the spot in a moment into
Ishmael and then what happened?

1125
01:16:53,080 --> 01:16:57,280
And when I Ishmael opened my
mouth, is it had all this given

1126
01:16:57,280 --> 01:17:04,320
to him and sang praises before
the throne of the Holy 1?

1127
01:17:05,720 --> 01:17:09,160
Oops.
Oh, look at that.

1128
01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:16,760
Before the throne of glory, the
holy creatures below the throne

1129
01:17:16,760 --> 01:17:20,840
of glory and above the throne
responded after me, saying,

1130
01:17:21,320 --> 01:17:24,160
holy, holy, holy and blessed be
the Lord.

1131
01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:26,920
Blessed be the glory of the Lord
in his dwelling place.

1132
01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:31,200
So.
Oh, there's there's stuff I want

1133
01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:34,840
to say to this but I really
can't because of the sacred.

1134
01:17:34,840 --> 01:17:39,760
Nature of it.
Tell me later.

1135
01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:44,280
Write it down.
That, that, that, that.

1136
01:17:44,280 --> 01:17:47,400
Thing about singing a new song,
right?

1137
01:17:47,400 --> 01:17:51,320
That download, we read about
that I think in Revelations

1138
01:17:51,320 --> 01:17:53,320
where it says and and they will
sing a new song.

1139
01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:58,400
I wonder if that's part of the
information that gets passed

1140
01:17:58,400 --> 01:18:02,080
along once we go through that
veil for real.

1141
01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:09,400
Well, for sure, when every
account, well one in particular

1142
01:18:09,400 --> 01:18:13,240
of people who die and then they
come back, is it when they get

1143
01:18:13,240 --> 01:18:15,480
to the other side, they just
start knowing everything.

1144
01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:19,200
Knowledge is given to them, not
line upon line as it is

1145
01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:22,720
immortality, but all at once.
It's just downloaded into their.

1146
01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:24,560
It's the spirit has the
capacity.

1147
01:18:25,400 --> 01:18:27,720
And in this same setting, be the
same thing.

1148
01:18:28,440 --> 01:18:30,120
Yeah.
So I'm sure we'll have the whole

1149
01:18:30,480 --> 01:18:33,440
library of heavenly songs
downloaded into us.

1150
01:18:34,480 --> 01:18:37,800
And all it requires is our own
love and passion to express it.

1151
01:18:38,640 --> 01:18:44,080
And then old Rabbi Ishah, all he
wanted to do was to meet his God

1152
01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:48,400
and to express his gratitude.
No wonder he was given that

1153
01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:53,040
right anyway.
And all of those beings that he

1154
01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:54,680
was so afraid of, guess what
they did?

1155
01:18:55,440 --> 01:18:58,560
They joined right along with the
same song.

1156
01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:08,000
All right, now we get to chapter
4, where we find out who

1157
01:19:08,280 --> 01:19:12,280
Metatron is.
Ishmael says to Metatron, why

1158
01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:15,840
are you called by the name of
your creator with 70 names?

1159
01:19:16,680 --> 01:19:19,200
You are greater than all the
Princess, more exalted than all

1160
01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:21,400
the angels, more beloved than
all the ministered, more

1161
01:19:21,840 --> 01:19:25,640
ministers, more honored than all
the hosts, and elevated over all

1162
01:19:25,640 --> 01:19:27,400
potentates and sovereignty.
Greatness of gory.

1163
01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:31,360
Why then do they call you youth
in the heavenly heights?

1164
01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:37,080
Metatron answered.
Because I am Enoch, son of

1165
01:19:37,080 --> 01:19:39,680
Jared.
When the generation of the

1166
01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:43,960
floods sinned and turned to evil
deeds and said to God, go away.

1167
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:47,360
We do not choose to learn our
ways.

1168
01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:51,080
The Holy One, blessed be He,
took me from their midst to be a

1169
01:19:51,080 --> 01:19:55,200
witness against them in the
heavenly height to all who

1170
01:19:55,200 --> 01:19:58,480
should come into the world, so
that people should not say the

1171
01:19:58,480 --> 01:20:01,800
merciful 1 is cruel.
Did all those multitudes of

1172
01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:04,560
people sin?
So He He was a witness to their

1173
01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:06,960
sins.
Oh, OK.

1174
01:20:07,440 --> 01:20:12,360
But anyway, we find out later
they call him youth, Metatron,

1175
01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:15,400
Enoch, because he's so much
younger than everybody else

1176
01:20:15,400 --> 01:20:20,240
there, right?
It'd have to be a rough feeling

1177
01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:22,760
being that old and then, you
know, getting to the other side

1178
01:20:22,760 --> 01:20:25,600
and someone just refers to you,
like come here, kid in.

1179
01:20:26,240 --> 01:20:28,920
Fact.
He says that here in verse 10,

1180
01:20:30,320 --> 01:20:35,600
he says because I am young in
their company and a mere youth

1181
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:38,800
among them in days and months
and years, therefore they call

1182
01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:40,280
me youth.
He hadn't been there very long,

1183
01:20:42,040 --> 01:20:47,680
relatively speaking.
Bathroom break, just for a

1184
01:20:47,680 --> 01:20:49,440
second.
Yeah, we can do that.

1185
01:20:49,480 --> 01:20:54,000
And I'll finish this, OK?
Yes Sir.

1186
01:20:56,800 --> 01:21:01,920
Now that brings us to 3rd Enoch
Chapter 5.

1187
01:21:02,600 --> 01:21:07,280
God removes the Shechenah.
We are going to learn about this

1188
01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:14,240
incredible Shechenah, Ishmael
said Metatron, Prince of the

1189
01:21:14,240 --> 01:21:19,320
divine Presence.
Oh, Ishmael said that Metatron,

1190
01:21:19,320 --> 01:21:22,680
the resurrected Enoch said to
me, by the way, why?

1191
01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:25,800
Why do I think he's resurrected
now and not translated?

1192
01:21:28,120 --> 01:21:29,480
Because it's after the
Atonement.

1193
01:21:30,040 --> 01:21:33,360
Yep, Yep.
No, that's right. 138 years past

1194
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:34,760
Christ.
Yeah, no, he would have been the

1195
01:21:34,760 --> 01:21:36,760
11 of the ones that would have
been resurrected.

1196
01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:45,200
Yeah, probably one of the 1st.
And also he describes in a the

1197
01:21:45,200 --> 01:21:48,960
previous Enoch he described the
process of being translated.

1198
01:21:49,880 --> 01:21:52,520
Now he describes another change
which is more dramatic.

1199
01:21:52,920 --> 01:22:00,040
We'll read that Metatron, Prince
of the Divine present, said to

1200
01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:03,920
me from the day that the Holy
One, blessed be he, banished the

1201
01:22:03,920 --> 01:22:08,400
first man from the Garden of
Eden, the Shekinah resided on a

1202
01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:14,280
cherub beneath the tree of life.
The Shekinah remain ministering

1203
01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:18,200
angels used to muster and come
down from heaven in companies

1204
01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:23,000
and in bands and cohorts from
heaven, to execute His will in

1205
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:26,280
all the earth.
The first man and his generation

1206
01:22:26,280 --> 01:22:29,280
dwelt at the gate of the Garden
of Eden.

1207
01:22:30,280 --> 01:22:35,480
So after they were expelled so
that they might gaze at the

1208
01:22:35,480 --> 01:22:38,200
bright image of the Shechenah,
they still looked at it.

1209
01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:43,320
Or the brilliance of the
Shechenah radiated from one end

1210
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:48,560
of the world to the other
365,000 times more brightly than

1211
01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:52,400
the sun.
Anyone who gazed.

1212
01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:58,040
Hang on just a second.
The footnote gives us some

1213
01:22:58,040 --> 01:23:02,480
explanation of the significance
of the Shekinah here.

1214
01:23:02,480 --> 01:23:06,480
Let's go down to it.
Pretty interesting stuff here.

1215
01:23:08,960 --> 01:23:12,880
The visible manifestation of
God's presence, the Shekinah.

1216
01:23:14,560 --> 01:23:17,400
In the Garden of Eden, the
Shekinah resided on a cherub in

1217
01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:20,280
heaven.
In heaven he resides on the

1218
01:23:20,280 --> 01:23:26,840
throne of glory.
Those cherubim in a different

1219
01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:30,640
manuscript, the 33165 thousand
and 65,000.

1220
01:23:31,320 --> 01:23:35,840
It's all pretty, Yeah.
The second reading is not out of

1221
01:23:35,840 --> 01:23:38,600
the question, since Shekinah
could be regarded as a luminous

1222
01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:43,760
substance for the Shekinah, for
the Shekinah as a protection

1223
01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:47,960
against demons, see Numbers.
Before the Tabernacle was

1224
01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:51,800
erected, demons vexed mankind.
But from the moment the

1225
01:23:51,800 --> 01:23:55,040
Tabernacle was erected and the
Shekinah took up his residence

1226
01:23:55,040 --> 01:23:59,840
here below could also refer.
The pillar of fire could also be

1227
01:23:59,840 --> 01:24:04,440
manifestation of the Shekinah
that followed them in the

1228
01:24:04,440 --> 01:24:07,880
wilderness.
So I got something else on this

1229
01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:12,800
that just occurred to me.
What Here there's the.

1230
01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:16,760
Shekinah.
But I would make a contention

1231
01:24:16,760 --> 01:24:22,600
that we leave with another one
from the temple, which is the

1232
01:24:22,600 --> 01:24:25,240
garment.
And here's why.

1233
01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:30,120
Our garment matches the veil of
the temple.

1234
01:24:30,280 --> 01:24:31,760
That's all I'm going to say
right there.

1235
01:24:32,440 --> 01:24:37,080
Yeah.
But what are we promised that

1236
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:42,200
the garment will do for us if we
treat it properly and live

1237
01:24:42,200 --> 01:24:45,800
worthy of our covenants?
Shield protection.

1238
01:24:46,440 --> 01:24:51,200
It will be a a protection to US
against the adversary.

1239
01:24:53,080 --> 01:24:55,840
And so this thing here where it
talks about a protection from

1240
01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:58,120
demons, I can't help but make a
connection.

1241
01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:02,000
Do we leave with a portion of
that after we've been endowed?

1242
01:25:03,720 --> 01:25:05,920
I have.
I like that.

1243
01:25:08,560 --> 01:25:12,000
I've tried to find it because
we, after the Old Testament, we

1244
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:16,280
really don't read anything about
Shekinah ever again, not in the

1245
01:25:16,280 --> 01:25:19,960
New Testament.
But we do read a description of

1246
01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:22,640
something else that happens
which is reminiscent of the

1247
01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:28,080
Shekinah that's on the Day of
Pentecost when the disciples are

1248
01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:32,160
gathered together.
And this, this rush of fire

1249
01:25:32,160 --> 01:25:35,760
enters the room, which is the
full manifestation of the Holy

1250
01:25:35,760 --> 01:25:41,160
Ghost.
And I'm, I, I would venture that

1251
01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:43,920
the Shekinah is the full
presence of the Holy Spirit,

1252
01:25:45,160 --> 01:25:48,240
which would make sense.
It would accompany Job in any

1253
01:25:48,240 --> 01:25:49,800
case.
That's it, reads here.

1254
01:25:52,680 --> 01:25:54,680
But from the moment the
Tabernacle was erected and the

1255
01:25:54,680 --> 01:25:57,800
Shechena took up its residence
here below, the demons were

1256
01:25:57,800 --> 01:26:03,800
exterminated from the world
according to whatever that is.

1257
01:26:04,160 --> 01:26:08,760
The righteous will feast on the
brightness of the Shechena in

1258
01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:10,200
the world to come.
That's interesting.

1259
01:26:17,240 --> 01:26:23,920
More about the Shechena.
So while they were in, anyone

1260
01:26:23,920 --> 01:26:30,400
who gazed at the Shekinah was
not troubled by flies or gnats

1261
01:26:32,080 --> 01:26:36,000
interesting by sickness or pain.
Well, what it mentions here,

1262
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:40,160
flies, gnats, sickness, pain,
demons are all a byproduct of

1263
01:26:40,160 --> 01:26:43,040
the fall.
These are all byproducts of the

1264
01:26:43,160 --> 01:26:46,120
celestial world.
Shekinah was not.

1265
01:26:46,600 --> 01:26:49,120
So this should the influence of
the terrestrial would be

1266
01:26:49,120 --> 01:26:52,920
extended to those who were in
His presence, sickness or pain,

1267
01:26:52,920 --> 01:26:56,200
malicious demons were not able
to harm Him, and even the angels

1268
01:26:56,200 --> 01:26:58,880
had no power over Him.
When the Holy One, blessed be

1269
01:26:58,880 --> 01:27:03,480
He, went out and in from the
Garden of Eden and from Eden to

1270
01:27:03,480 --> 01:27:06,880
the Garden, from the Garden to
Heaven, and from Heaven to the

1271
01:27:06,880 --> 01:27:10,680
Garden of Eden.
All gazed at the bright image of

1272
01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:15,720
His Shechenah and were unharmed
until the coming of the

1273
01:27:15,720 --> 01:27:20,040
generation of Enosh, who was the
chief of all the idolaters of

1274
01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:21,840
the world.
Huh.

1275
01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:25,040
What did the men of Enosh's
generation do?

1276
01:27:25,600 --> 01:27:28,240
They roamed the world from end
to end, and each of them amassed

1277
01:27:28,240 --> 01:27:32,680
silver, gold, precious stones
and pearls and mountainous heaps

1278
01:27:32,680 --> 01:27:35,040
and piles in the four quarters
of the world.

1279
01:27:35,040 --> 01:27:38,880
They fashioned them into idols
and in each quarter they set up

1280
01:27:38,880 --> 01:27:41,320
idols, about 1000 pair of songs
in height.

1281
01:27:41,960 --> 01:27:43,960
They brought down the sun, the
moon, the stars, the

1282
01:27:43,960 --> 01:27:47,880
constellations, and stationed
them before the idols to their

1283
01:27:47,880 --> 01:27:50,080
right and to their left, to
serve them in the way they

1284
01:27:50,080 --> 01:27:54,040
served the Holy One.
Blessed be He as it is written,

1285
01:27:54,040 --> 01:27:56,760
all the array of heaven stood in
His presence to his right, to

1286
01:27:56,760 --> 01:27:59,320
his left.
How was it that they had the

1287
01:27:59,320 --> 01:28:02,080
strength of being them down?
It was only because Ouza, Azza

1288
01:28:02,080 --> 01:28:07,160
and Azza al the watchers taught
them sort, the fallen washers

1289
01:28:07,480 --> 01:28:10,640
taught them sorceries, that they
brought them down and enjoy

1290
01:28:10,640 --> 01:28:12,720
employed them, for otherwise
they would not have been able to

1291
01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:15,760
bring them down.
They goes on.

1292
01:28:17,480 --> 01:28:20,000
Thereupon the ministering angels
conspired to be incomplete

1293
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:21,400
before the Holy One, blessed be
He.

1294
01:28:21,400 --> 01:28:24,440
And they said in His presence.
Lord of the universe, what

1295
01:28:24,440 --> 01:28:27,040
business have you with men, as
it is written, that you should

1296
01:28:27,080 --> 01:28:31,280
spare a thought for Him?
What is Adam, what is Enosh?

1297
01:28:32,280 --> 01:28:34,120
Because Enosh is the chief of
the idolatrous.

1298
01:28:34,120 --> 01:28:38,560
Why did you leave the heavens?
Why did you leave the heaven of

1299
01:28:38,560 --> 01:28:40,800
heavens above the abode of Your
glory, the high and exalted

1300
01:28:40,800 --> 01:28:44,200
throne which is at the height of
arable, and come and lodge with

1301
01:28:44,200 --> 01:28:48,280
men who worship idols?
Now you are on the earth and the

1302
01:28:48,280 --> 01:28:51,320
idols are on the earth.
What is your business among the

1303
01:28:51,320 --> 01:28:52,760
idolatrous inhabitants of the
earth?

1304
01:28:52,760 --> 01:28:56,040
Immediately the Holy One,
blessed be He, took up His

1305
01:28:56,040 --> 01:29:00,440
Shekinah from the earth.
Interesting.

1306
01:29:01,840 --> 01:29:04,720
From their midst then the
ministering angels came, and the

1307
01:29:04,720 --> 01:29:07,400
cohorts of the hosts and the
armies of Audible, 1000

1308
01:29:07,400 --> 01:29:10,000
Companies Strong and Marriage of
Hosts.

1309
01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:12,240
They took up trumpets and seized
horns and surrounded the

1310
01:29:12,240 --> 01:29:16,160
Shekinah with psalms and songs,
and it ascended to the heavenly

1311
01:29:16,160 --> 01:29:17,680
heights.
That is written as it is

1312
01:29:17,680 --> 01:29:20,200
written.
God went up to the sound of

1313
01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:22,600
horns.
The Lord went up with a fanfare

1314
01:29:22,600 --> 01:29:24,800
of prophets.
So the Sheikh he now was

1315
01:29:24,800 --> 01:29:28,600
removed.
I'm reading this at length

1316
01:29:28,600 --> 01:29:30,520
because this is really quite a
big deal.

1317
01:29:31,480 --> 01:29:36,280
This is 13.
At chapter 6, Ishmael said, The

1318
01:29:36,280 --> 01:29:39,040
Angel Metro Tom, Prince of the
Divine Presence, said to me,

1319
01:29:39,800 --> 01:29:42,600
When the Holy One, blessed be,
He desired to bring me up to the

1320
01:29:42,600 --> 01:29:49,520
height, He set me, Prince
Yahweh, Anapiel, Yahweh.

1321
01:29:50,200 --> 01:29:54,160
And he took me from their midst.
Why would he call?

1322
01:29:54,200 --> 01:29:56,400
Why would he call him Prince
Yahweh?

1323
01:29:58,160 --> 01:30:03,040
And he conveyed me in great
glory on a fiery chariot, with

1324
01:30:03,040 --> 01:30:05,080
fiery horses and glorious
attendants.

1325
01:30:05,080 --> 01:30:08,960
And he brought me, brought me up
with the Shechenah to the

1326
01:30:08,960 --> 01:30:12,520
heavenly heights, or by means of
the Shechenah he brought him up.

1327
01:30:13,480 --> 01:30:15,480
As soon as I reached the
heavenly heights, the holy

1328
01:30:15,480 --> 01:30:18,640
creatures opened him in the
seraphim and the cherubim, the

1329
01:30:18,640 --> 01:30:20,760
wheels of the chariot and the
minute chariot.

1330
01:30:21,240 --> 01:30:27,240
And the ministers of consuming
fire smelled my odor. 365

1331
01:30:27,240 --> 01:30:28,800
myriads of parasongs off.
They said.

1332
01:30:29,400 --> 01:30:33,160
What is this smell of one born
of a woman?

1333
01:30:33,560 --> 01:30:38,920
Why does a white drop ascend on
high and serve among those who

1334
01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:43,840
cleaved the flames?
The Holy One, blessed be, he,

1335
01:30:43,840 --> 01:30:46,760
replied as said to them, My
ministers, my host, my cherubim,

1336
01:30:46,760 --> 01:30:50,240
open him and serve him.
Do not be displeased at this,

1337
01:30:50,240 --> 01:30:54,720
for all mankind has rejected me,
and my great Kingdom has gone

1338
01:30:54,720 --> 01:30:58,480
off and worshipped idols.
So I have taken up my Shechem

1339
01:30:58,480 --> 01:31:00,160
from the midst and brought it up
to the height.

1340
01:31:00,160 --> 01:31:03,600
And this one, whom I have
removed from them, is the

1341
01:31:03,600 --> 01:31:06,560
choices of them all, and worth
them all in faith,

1342
01:31:07,360 --> 01:31:09,120
righteousness, and fitting
conduct.

1343
01:31:09,120 --> 01:31:14,040
This one whom I have taken is my
sole reward for my whole world

1344
01:31:14,040 --> 01:31:16,960
under heaven.
So I won 32 AD.

1345
01:31:17,800 --> 01:31:20,480
The disciples of the Apostles
had all been martyred.

1346
01:31:22,400 --> 01:31:25,800
That's that's interesting too,
in in in a couple ways.

1347
01:31:25,800 --> 01:31:31,680
One is is that like the Lord
understands whatever Ishmael has

1348
01:31:31,680 --> 01:31:37,360
done here to qualify himself for
this second those those

1349
01:31:37,360 --> 01:31:42,120
cherubim, those seraphim do what
was the other one starts with a.

1350
01:31:42,120 --> 01:31:45,200
No orphanim.
Orphanim.

1351
01:31:46,360 --> 01:31:52,440
They seem to be itching for a
fight, like they're not happy

1352
01:31:52,440 --> 01:31:55,840
that Immortal has come into
their realm, so to speak, right

1353
01:31:56,240 --> 01:31:59,160
by the way they are.
Let me back up.

1354
01:32:00,440 --> 01:32:03,440
This is Ishmael is not talking
about himself.

1355
01:32:04,160 --> 01:32:07,400
Ishmael is quoting what Enoch
said to him.

1356
01:32:08,520 --> 01:32:09,400
OK.
So.

1357
01:32:09,720 --> 01:32:14,200
So they're what, Taking this one
up from everything else that had

1358
01:32:14,200 --> 01:32:16,880
failed?
He's talking about Enoch.

1359
01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:19,360
OK.
All right.

1360
01:32:19,400 --> 01:32:22,360
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That helps, but nonetheless,

1361
01:32:22,440 --> 01:32:27,480
those those three orders of
beings are like, they seem, they

1362
01:32:27,480 --> 01:32:30,960
seem to be like the bouncer in
the bar, right, like kind of

1363
01:32:31,080 --> 01:32:35,560
itching for a fight.
And yeah, they're, they're not,

1364
01:32:35,680 --> 01:32:42,040
they're, they're not happy he's
there until, until somebody in

1365
01:32:42,040 --> 01:32:44,400
authority says it's all good.
He's with me.

1366
01:32:46,120 --> 01:32:52,240
Yeah, so Chapter 7.
Rabbi Ishmael said the Angel met

1367
01:32:52,240 --> 01:32:53,880
Metatron, Prince of the Divine
Presence.

1368
01:32:53,920 --> 01:32:57,640
Enoch said to me.
So Enoch says when the Holy One,

1369
01:32:57,640 --> 01:33:01,600
blessed be he, removed me from
the generation of the flood, he

1370
01:33:01,600 --> 01:33:04,600
bore me up on the stormy wings
of the Shekinah.

1371
01:33:04,600 --> 01:33:07,280
The Shekinah transports to the
height.

1372
01:33:07,280 --> 01:33:11,920
So the Shekinah is has to be
related to this pillar of light.

1373
01:33:11,920 --> 01:33:16,600
I mean, it's yeah, same to the
highest heaven and brought me

1374
01:33:16,600 --> 01:33:18,960
into the great palaces in the
height of the heaven of arable,

1375
01:33:19,560 --> 01:33:21,800
where the glorious throne of the
Shekinah is found.

1376
01:33:22,360 --> 01:33:23,840
Shekinah has a throne.
That's it.

1377
01:33:24,480 --> 01:33:28,960
It's it's not just a, it's not
electricity.

1378
01:33:29,680 --> 01:33:32,920
It's, oh, it seems to, you know,
the fact that saying it has a

1379
01:33:33,640 --> 01:33:37,240
throne would indicate that it
has a a consciousness.

1380
01:33:38,800 --> 01:33:42,560
And the chariot, the courts of
Athos Fer fieri synanim, the

1381
01:33:42,560 --> 01:33:46,120
blazing cherubim, the smoldering
ofanim, and the ministers of

1382
01:33:46,120 --> 01:33:50,400
flame, the lightning hustlin,
and the flashing seraphim, he

1383
01:33:50,400 --> 01:33:55,240
stationed me Enoch, there to
serve the throne of glory day by

1384
01:33:55,240 --> 01:34:01,880
day.
And this is what he did for

1385
01:34:01,880 --> 01:34:07,120
Enoch before the Holy One,
Blessed be he set me, Enoch, to

1386
01:34:07,120 --> 01:34:09,320
serve the throne of glory He
opened for me.

1387
01:34:09,320 --> 01:34:13,400
So he downloads again all of
this stuff. 300,000 gates of

1388
01:34:13,400 --> 01:34:16,520
understanding, prudence, life,
grace, favor, love, aura,

1389
01:34:17,240 --> 01:34:20,840
humility, sustenance, mercy,
reverence.

1390
01:34:23,760 --> 01:34:26,960
Then the Holy One, blessed be
he, bestowed upon me Enoch,

1391
01:34:26,960 --> 01:34:30,120
wisdom heaped upon wisdom,
understanding upon

1392
01:34:30,120 --> 01:34:33,280
understanding, prudence upon
prudence, knowledge upon

1393
01:34:33,280 --> 01:34:35,560
knowledge.
Point being, once we have

1394
01:34:35,560 --> 01:34:38,360
demonstrated ourselves to
possess love, the love of

1395
01:34:38,360 --> 01:34:41,920
Christ, all these other gifts
can be given to us.

1396
01:34:43,360 --> 01:34:45,520
Well, and it would make sense
that it would all have to be

1397
01:34:46,200 --> 01:34:49,520
prerequisite to you
understanding love, right?

1398
01:34:50,160 --> 01:34:52,680
Because you wouldn't want
anybody to have that much

1399
01:34:53,560 --> 01:34:56,840
ability without that being the
overriding.

1400
01:34:57,360 --> 01:34:59,280
Paul and Moroni.
Programming.

1401
01:35:00,120 --> 01:35:03,560
Without charity, I am nothing.
Yep.

1402
01:35:04,440 --> 01:35:07,880
And Moroni, he that is Speaking
of charity, he that is possessed

1403
01:35:07,880 --> 01:35:09,680
of it in the last day, it shall
be well with him.

1404
01:35:09,960 --> 01:35:14,600
End of story.
Torah upon Torah, love upon

1405
01:35:14,600 --> 01:35:17,560
love, grace upon grace, beauty
and humility, might upon might,

1406
01:35:17,560 --> 01:35:19,960
strength, want, power upon
power, splendor, loveliness,

1407
01:35:19,960 --> 01:35:22,840
comeliness.
And I was honored and adorned

1408
01:35:22,840 --> 01:35:26,120
with all these excellent,
praiseworthy qualities, more

1409
01:35:26,120 --> 01:35:27,920
than all the denizens in the
Heights.

1410
01:35:29,200 --> 01:35:32,520
Chapter 9.
Enoch goes on.

1411
01:35:32,520 --> 01:35:34,600
In addition to all these
qualities, the Holy One, blessed

1412
01:35:34,600 --> 01:35:37,560
be.
He, laid his hand on me and

1413
01:35:37,560 --> 01:35:41,360
blessed me with 1,365,000
blessings.

1414
01:35:42,720 --> 01:35:49,120
By the way, 365,000 is the
length of a year.

1415
01:35:50,400 --> 01:35:54,720
On cola I was enlarged and
increased in size until I

1416
01:35:54,720 --> 01:35:56,720
matched the world in length of
breadth.

1417
01:35:58,200 --> 01:36:03,760
He made me to grow.
Grow on the 72 wings, 36 on each

1418
01:36:03,760 --> 01:36:06,360
side, and each covered the
world.

1419
01:36:06,360 --> 01:36:07,440
He fixed me.
And three.

1420
01:36:07,680 --> 01:36:09,200
I mean, all this is highly
symbolic.

1421
01:36:11,840 --> 01:36:14,560
There was no sort of splendor,
brilliance, brightness or beauty

1422
01:36:14,560 --> 01:36:17,960
in the luminaries of the world
that he failed to fix in me.

1423
01:36:18,360 --> 01:36:22,680
Why am I wasting our time with
this when we say that that He

1424
01:36:22,680 --> 01:36:24,880
will give us everything that he
has?

1425
01:36:25,720 --> 01:36:29,640
Yep, this is kind of a the
shopping list, what that kind of

1426
01:36:29,640 --> 01:36:34,360
stuff is.
And finally, so and essentially

1427
01:36:35,360 --> 01:36:42,320
he's given everything after
which he said after all this,

1428
01:36:42,320 --> 01:36:47,800
the holy one, blessed, blessed
be he made for me a throne like

1429
01:36:47,800 --> 01:36:51,480
the throne of glory, and he
spread over it a coverlet of

1430
01:36:51,520 --> 01:36:55,480
splendor or brilliance.
He has his own throne.

1431
01:36:56,720 --> 01:37:04,920
Bosh Chapter 11 then.
So even though Ishmael is about

1432
01:37:04,920 --> 01:37:10,680
there, Third Enoch is just basic
about Metatron the resurrected

1433
01:37:10,680 --> 01:37:16,080
Enoch telling Ishmael everything
that happened to him after he

1434
01:37:16,080 --> 01:37:19,840
was resurrected.
The Holy was blessed be he

1435
01:37:20,040 --> 01:37:23,840
revealed to me, Enoch, from that
time onward, all of the

1436
01:37:23,840 --> 01:37:28,560
mysteries of wisdom, all of the
depths of the perfect Torah and

1437
01:37:28,560 --> 01:37:31,960
all the thoughts of men's
hearts, all the mysteries of the

1438
01:37:31,960 --> 01:37:34,160
world and all the orders of
nature.

1439
01:37:34,160 --> 01:37:36,520
Now he couldn't give them all
this knowledge without first

1440
01:37:36,520 --> 01:37:43,800
giving him the gifts in the
capacity to cope, Yep, to cope

1441
01:37:43,800 --> 01:37:46,160
with it.
All the orders of nature stand

1442
01:37:46,160 --> 01:37:48,760
revealed before me as a stand
revealed before the Creator.

1443
01:37:49,280 --> 01:37:54,400
From that time onward, I looked
and beheld deep secrets and

1444
01:37:54,400 --> 01:37:57,960
wonderful mysteries.
Before a man thinks a secret, I

1445
01:37:57,960 --> 01:37:59,200
see his thoughts.
Yeah.

1446
01:38:00,280 --> 01:38:07,160
The the, the phrase that jumped
out to me is all the depths of

1447
01:38:07,160 --> 01:38:13,240
the perfect Torah, which would
seem to signify that there's an

1448
01:38:13,240 --> 01:38:15,320
imperfect Torah as well.
Yeah.

1449
01:38:15,720 --> 01:38:19,120
Well, the the Torah that the
Jews have, the Torah that we

1450
01:38:19,120 --> 01:38:23,200
have is imperfect and it's not
complete, right?

1451
01:38:23,200 --> 01:38:26,360
Perfect Torah would be all of
it.

1452
01:38:26,680 --> 01:38:30,600
Excellent.
Chapter 12.

1453
01:38:30,600 --> 01:38:34,040
And God isn't done with Enoch
yet.

1454
01:38:34,040 --> 01:38:39,440
Out of the love which God had
for me, Enoch, more than for all

1455
01:38:39,440 --> 01:38:41,920
the denizens of the heights, the
Holy One, blessed be He,

1456
01:38:42,640 --> 01:38:48,120
fashioned for me a majestic robe
in which all kinds of luminaries

1457
01:38:48,120 --> 01:38:50,160
were set, and He clothed me in
it.

1458
01:38:50,800 --> 01:38:53,160
He enrolled me, embraced me, and
circled me.

1459
01:38:54,680 --> 01:38:57,160
He fashioned for me a glorious
cloak in which brightness,

1460
01:38:57,160 --> 01:38:59,560
brilliant splendor, and the
luster of every kind were fixed.

1461
01:39:00,080 --> 01:39:03,200
He wrapped me in it.
He fashioned for me a kingly

1462
01:39:03,200 --> 01:39:07,400
crown in which 49 refulgent
stones were placed, each like

1463
01:39:07,400 --> 01:39:09,720
the sons of Warbin, its
brilliance and shone into the

1464
01:39:09,720 --> 01:39:16,760
four corners of heaven, into the
seven heavens, and into the four

1465
01:39:16,760 --> 01:39:20,240
quarters of the world.
He set it upon my head, and here

1466
01:39:20,240 --> 01:39:23,560
it is again.
He called me the lesser Yahweh.

1467
01:39:24,320 --> 01:39:26,040
In the presence of this whole
household.

1468
01:39:26,520 --> 01:39:28,720
It is written.
And here's the answer to that

1469
01:39:28,720 --> 01:39:35,040
question.
My name is in him, took upon him

1470
01:39:35,040 --> 01:39:37,120
the name of God, the name of
Christ.

1471
01:39:38,000 --> 01:39:41,400
Ha ha.
So look this.

1472
01:39:41,400 --> 01:39:47,280
This should give us some pause
during the sacrament, right?

1473
01:39:47,280 --> 01:39:52,120
When we say that we're going to
take his name upon us, right?

1474
01:39:52,320 --> 01:39:56,080
This should give us some pause.
Are we treating that, that, that

1475
01:39:56,080 --> 01:39:57,880
ordinance with the reverence it
deserves?

1476
01:39:58,240 --> 01:40:01,280
Because to me, this is a direct
correlation here, right?

1477
01:40:01,640 --> 01:40:05,880
You are putting on his name so
that you might become the

1478
01:40:05,880 --> 01:40:09,080
lesser, right?
And and this, interestingly

1479
01:40:09,080 --> 01:40:16,720
enough, also points to.
To another idea, which is in

1480
01:40:16,720 --> 01:40:21,360
some ways OK, this is going to
get a little heady here.

1481
01:40:21,440 --> 01:40:26,920
In some ways, if we do this life
correctly, we are going to act

1482
01:40:26,920 --> 01:40:34,600
out in one form or another, the
work or a small portion of the

1483
01:40:34,600 --> 01:40:38,200
work that every member of the
Godhead is engaged in.

1484
01:40:39,160 --> 01:40:43,360
So if if we are actively engaged
in proclaiming the Gospel, what

1485
01:40:43,360 --> 01:40:45,480
are we doing?
Well, we're participating.

1486
01:40:45,640 --> 01:40:48,120
Helping to bring to pass
immortality and eternal life

1487
01:40:48,120 --> 01:40:49,000
with man.
Right.

1488
01:40:49,800 --> 01:40:53,160
If we talk about the work of the
Savior, what does it say people

1489
01:40:53,160 --> 01:40:56,440
who go to the temple end up
becoming, say, sometimes on

1490
01:40:56,440 --> 01:41:00,280
Mount Zion?
And then the most holy of all

1491
01:41:00,280 --> 01:41:02,120
callings is that of husband and
father?

1492
01:41:02,760 --> 01:41:04,640
Yeah.
And if we can pull that off,

1493
01:41:04,640 --> 01:41:08,920
we've engaged in a very small
measure and all these things,

1494
01:41:08,920 --> 01:41:11,880
but a very small measure
nonetheless in the work of the

1495
01:41:11,880 --> 01:41:15,520
Father.
And so in all these things, it's

1496
01:41:15,520 --> 01:41:20,360
my opinion that we have that
name etched upon us if we are

1497
01:41:20,360 --> 01:41:21,800
true and faithful to those
things.

1498
01:41:21,800 --> 01:41:26,160
And if we engage, that spark of
divinity is here right now.

1499
01:41:26,480 --> 01:41:31,200
We just have to figure out how
to find it, nurture it, and give

1500
01:41:31,200 --> 01:41:33,240
it the food it needs to continue
to grow.

1501
01:41:34,040 --> 01:41:38,040
And we have that opportunity if
we want to walk that path.

1502
01:41:38,360 --> 01:41:41,320
So much of what we do, we say,
well, we're doing this for the

1503
01:41:41,320 --> 01:41:43,080
Lord.
No, we're doing this for us.

1504
01:41:44,160 --> 01:41:48,240
The fact that the Lord lets us
engage in His work with Him is a

1505
01:41:48,240 --> 01:41:50,920
blessing and a privilege because
it's for us.

1506
01:41:50,920 --> 01:41:55,360
Ultimately, we're going to bless
other people along the way, but

1507
01:41:56,080 --> 01:41:58,360
God doesn't need our work.
He could do it himself if He's

1508
01:41:58,360 --> 01:42:01,200
so desired and does for the most
part.

1509
01:42:01,800 --> 01:42:04,760
He just lets us help with the
family business a little bit.

1510
01:42:07,160 --> 01:42:14,440
Well, I, I agree with the
sentiment, but he's omniscient

1511
01:42:14,480 --> 01:42:16,480
and omnipotent.
Yep.

1512
01:42:16,480 --> 01:42:21,400
But he but he cannot make us
change.

1513
01:42:22,040 --> 01:42:28,320
No, that that work does have to
be done by us and it has to it

1514
01:42:28,320 --> 01:42:32,360
has to be done by us in
conjunction with one another.

1515
01:42:32,360 --> 01:42:35,480
We cannot do it individually.
Exactly.

1516
01:42:35,480 --> 01:42:37,560
That's an that's an incredible
thing, yeah.

1517
01:42:37,560 --> 01:42:41,600
Speaking for myself, only as an
older man have I come to

1518
01:42:41,600 --> 01:42:49,520
understand more profoundly what
it means to take upon myself

1519
01:42:50,480 --> 01:42:56,680
Christ's name and that.
And when you think about what it

1520
01:42:56,680 --> 01:43:01,640
is to take a name upon you at
all, that I took upon me, my

1521
01:43:01,640 --> 01:43:07,160
family name, that means I
inherit the reputation of

1522
01:43:07,360 --> 01:43:10,840
Peterson's, you know, And in my
hometown, it's like, oh, he's a

1523
01:43:10,840 --> 01:43:12,280
Peterson.
Oh, it's a Peterson's.

1524
01:43:12,600 --> 01:43:14,440
Some of the Peterson boys,
right?

1525
01:43:14,960 --> 01:43:18,040
And that means something, for
better and for worse, in

1526
01:43:18,040 --> 01:43:23,840
mortality.
And it also means that I am my

1527
01:43:23,840 --> 01:43:27,520
father's son.
I bear his name.

1528
01:43:28,280 --> 01:43:30,640
And a lot of Latter Saints don't
understand that when we take

1529
01:43:30,640 --> 01:43:33,160
upon ourselves the name of
Christ, he becomes our father

1530
01:43:34,200 --> 01:43:40,680
through baptism.
We are born again unto Christ.

1531
01:43:41,680 --> 01:43:43,640
He has become our father through
baptism.

1532
01:43:44,160 --> 01:43:47,640
And so for Enoch to take upon
himself God's name.

1533
01:43:47,840 --> 01:43:52,160
And so because we take upon
ourselves the name of Christ.

1534
01:43:52,160 --> 01:43:55,760
And Paul says this, it's in
Romans that we take upon

1535
01:43:55,760 --> 01:43:59,200
ourselves the name of Christ
through baptism, becoming heirs

1536
01:43:59,200 --> 01:44:01,960
of the covenant of Abraham
through baptism.

1537
01:44:02,600 --> 01:44:08,240
So it's the same covenant, but
being one with Christ and having

1538
01:44:08,240 --> 01:44:13,680
his name etched on us assures
our place in eternity.

1539
01:44:13,840 --> 01:44:20,320
That's I love that part.
OK, here's a a thought in the

1540
01:44:20,320 --> 01:44:26,120
footnote that I that struck me
sometimes the Merkabah texts

1541
01:44:26,120 --> 01:44:34,520
speak of families of angels, and
I think it mentions it elsewhere

1542
01:44:34,520 --> 01:44:38,080
in a little more detail.
But but that that also agrees

1543
01:44:38,080 --> 01:44:41,520
with gospel teachings that on
the earth were organized,

1544
01:44:41,680 --> 01:44:44,440
organized according to
geographical boundaries.

1545
01:44:45,320 --> 01:44:48,320
But we're not sealed according
to geographical boundaries.

1546
01:44:48,840 --> 01:44:52,760
No, and we will not be bound by
geographical boundaries in the

1547
01:44:52,760 --> 01:44:57,600
celestial realm that we will
exist together as we are sealed

1548
01:44:57,600 --> 01:45:01,680
together as families, ultimately
being a part of the family of

1549
01:45:01,680 --> 01:45:10,160
Christ.
Now, chapter 15 is the only

1550
01:45:10,160 --> 01:45:14,880
instance I've ever seen of a
first hand description of what

1551
01:45:14,880 --> 01:45:22,720
it's like to get resurrected.
When the Holy One, blessed be

1552
01:45:22,720 --> 01:45:27,080
He, took me, Enoch, to serve the
throne of glory, the wheels of

1553
01:45:27,080 --> 01:45:29,800
the chariot, and all the needs
of the Shechinah.

1554
01:45:30,560 --> 01:45:36,680
At once my flesh turned to
flame, my sinews to blazing

1555
01:45:36,680 --> 01:45:43,040
fire, my bones to juniper coals
and my eyelashes to lightning

1556
01:45:43,040 --> 01:45:48,720
flashes, my eyeballs to fiery
torches and the hairs of my head

1557
01:45:48,720 --> 01:45:53,880
to hot flames, all my limbs to
wings of burning fire, and the

1558
01:45:53,880 --> 01:45:56,440
substance of my body to blazing
fire.

1559
01:45:56,440 --> 01:46:00,400
On my right, those who cleave
flames of fire, on my left

1560
01:46:00,400 --> 01:46:04,800
burning brands round about me
swept wind, Tempest, and storm,

1561
01:46:05,240 --> 01:46:08,560
and the roar of earthquake upon
earthquake was before and behind

1562
01:46:08,560 --> 01:46:11,040
me.
So before he could serve at the

1563
01:46:11,040 --> 01:46:13,680
throne of God, he had be
changed.

1564
01:46:13,960 --> 01:46:16,640
He had to be upgraded.
Just something that wouldn't

1565
01:46:16,640 --> 01:46:20,600
perish by that glory because of
the glory.

1566
01:46:20,840 --> 01:46:27,600
And lot of symbolism in there,
but I'm guessing it's just as

1567
01:46:27,760 --> 01:46:31,120
profound as was spelling out.
Have you heard?

1568
01:46:31,120 --> 01:46:33,600
I, I just read and I wish I'd
have marked it down in

1569
01:46:33,600 --> 01:46:38,280
preparation for this, that I
think it was Lorenzo Snow had a

1570
01:46:38,280 --> 01:46:44,520
vision of himself being changed.
It was very much like, very much

1571
01:46:44,520 --> 01:46:45,480
like this.
Are you aware?

1572
01:46:45,480 --> 01:46:49,160
Do you know of that?
I I do I I read it years years

1573
01:46:49,160 --> 01:46:51,520
ago, but I don't know what
you're talking about.

1574
01:46:52,080 --> 01:46:55,200
Yep, and it does.
It does seem to sound an awful

1575
01:46:55,200 --> 01:46:57,600
lot like this.
That's crazy.

1576
01:46:59,160 --> 01:47:00,840
All right, we're about there,
brother.

1577
01:47:01,680 --> 01:47:08,840
You're gonna have 74.
He girds man with garments of

1578
01:47:08,840 --> 01:47:14,480
life, and in time to come he
will wrap the righteous and

1579
01:47:14,480 --> 01:47:19,200
pious of the world in robes of
life, so that clad in them they

1580
01:47:19,200 --> 01:47:24,520
may enjoy eternal life.
The words that we need to key on

1581
01:47:24,520 --> 01:47:27,680
in something like this, I think
he doesn't say.

1582
01:47:27,680 --> 01:47:31,680
He will have robes placed upon
them.

1583
01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:34,880
He will hang robes on them.
He will he.

1584
01:47:35,240 --> 01:47:39,440
The word is to wrap, which he
nibbly points out, means to

1585
01:47:39,440 --> 01:47:44,240
encircle, More importantly, to
embrace.

1586
01:47:45,040 --> 01:47:49,000
Yep.
That that whole concept of being

1587
01:47:49,000 --> 01:47:53,320
embraced by God is the
culmination of our covenants and

1588
01:47:53,320 --> 01:47:56,200
entrance into the, Yep, into the
Kingdom of God.

1589
01:47:56,920 --> 01:48:01,320
And again expresses why he wants
us to call him Father, why he

1590
01:48:01,320 --> 01:48:03,040
wants to.
Yep.

1591
01:48:03,560 --> 01:48:06,400
Sing with us and eat with us and
sit down with us.

1592
01:48:06,400 --> 01:48:09,480
It's the relationship is
extremely personal.

1593
01:48:11,240 --> 01:48:13,840
Well, how else could it be from
someone who knows love more than

1594
01:48:13,840 --> 01:48:15,280
any of us, all of us put
together.

1595
01:48:16,400 --> 01:48:19,800
That's amazing and.
And you know, I think we need to

1596
01:48:19,800 --> 01:48:27,080
recognize that Mormonism, unlike
maybe other secular lines of

1597
01:48:27,080 --> 01:48:31,560
Christianity, when we say God's
our Father, we take that very

1598
01:48:31,560 --> 01:48:36,800
literally.
That is not just he has fatherly

1599
01:48:36,800 --> 01:48:42,720
feelings towards us and that
plays into this quite a bit.

1600
01:48:44,080 --> 01:48:47,400
Let's see, this talks a little
bit about the cherubim and who

1601
01:48:47,400 --> 01:48:53,200
they are, what they do.
So this is Third Enoch chapter

1602
01:48:53,200 --> 01:48:57,360
24, verse 13.
The cherubim stand beside the

1603
01:48:57,360 --> 01:49:01,600
holy creatures and their wings
are raised up to the height of

1604
01:49:01,600 --> 01:49:04,600
their heads.
The shechenal rests upon their

1605
01:49:04,600 --> 01:49:08,040
backs.
The splendor of the glory is in

1606
01:49:08,040 --> 01:49:12,040
their faces, and song and praise
are in their mouths.

1607
01:49:12,760 --> 01:49:16,000
There's a footnote.
Let's see.

1608
01:49:17,160 --> 01:49:19,600
Pillars of fire are on their
four sides.

1609
01:49:19,600 --> 01:49:29,720
Pillars of flame flank them on
the next page says, When they

1610
01:49:29,720 --> 01:49:35,520
spread their wings, they they
spread them their wings to sing

1611
01:49:35,520 --> 01:49:41,400
with them the song to him who
dwells in clouds, and to praise

1612
01:49:41,400 --> 01:49:43,360
them.
Praise with them the glory of

1613
01:49:43,360 --> 01:49:49,880
the King of kings.
The footnote Oh my goodness, now

1614
01:49:49,880 --> 01:49:55,600
let's finish this.
The Prince who is in charge of

1615
01:49:55,600 --> 01:50:00,440
them, who has bears the name
Yahweh, also marshals them into

1616
01:50:00,440 --> 01:50:04,920
pleasing, fine and beautiful
array, the cherubim, and extols

1617
01:50:04,920 --> 01:50:06,400
them with all kinds of praise,
glory and honor.

1618
01:50:06,400 --> 01:50:10,560
He makes them haste with glory
and strength to do the will of

1619
01:50:10,560 --> 01:50:14,720
their Creator at every moment
from top of their heads.

1620
01:50:14,720 --> 01:50:18,640
The cherubim abides perpetually
the glory of the high and

1621
01:50:18,640 --> 01:50:22,040
exalted king who dwells upon the
cherubim.

1622
01:50:23,240 --> 01:50:27,400
It's crazy.
I got to meet these guys, these

1623
01:50:27,400 --> 01:50:35,560
cherubim, it says here in the
footnotes.

1624
01:50:36,880 --> 01:50:41,920
The idea is that the cherubims
sing by moving their wings.

1625
01:50:42,920 --> 01:50:47,280
Interesting trying.
To remember the guy who was a

1626
01:50:50,920 --> 01:50:59,800
brain surgeon at Johns Hopkins
who died and he was brain dead.

1627
01:51:00,240 --> 01:51:02,440
So he knew that he shouldn't be
having hallucinations.

1628
01:51:03,800 --> 01:51:06,880
And he had this incredible life
after death experience.

1629
01:51:06,880 --> 01:51:12,080
It was quite recent and wrote a
book on it as a complete non

1630
01:51:12,080 --> 01:51:15,560
believer.
And one of the things he saw

1631
01:51:15,560 --> 01:51:18,640
were these creatures streaking
across the sky.

1632
01:51:20,240 --> 01:51:23,600
And as they were flying, he
could hear them singing.

1633
01:51:24,040 --> 01:51:28,400
I thought, Yep, cherubim,
interesting.

1634
01:51:28,400 --> 01:51:33,160
Better remember his name, all
right?

1635
01:51:34,560 --> 01:51:37,560
Skipping a lot.
Chapter 45.

1636
01:51:39,040 --> 01:51:43,200
Heavenly Curtain.
Here again Enoch is doing all

1637
01:51:43,200 --> 01:51:46,360
the talk and come, and I will
show you the curtain of the

1638
01:51:46,360 --> 01:51:50,920
Omnipresent One, which is spread
before the Holy One, blessed be

1639
01:51:50,920 --> 01:51:54,000
He on which and on which are
printed all the generations of

1640
01:51:54,000 --> 01:51:57,840
the world, and all their deeds
where they're done or to be

1641
01:51:57,840 --> 01:52:01,600
done, till the last generation.
I went and he showed them to me

1642
01:52:01,600 --> 01:52:05,760
with his fingers, like a father
teaching his son the letters of

1643
01:52:05,760 --> 01:52:12,320
the Torah, and I saw each
generation and his patentates.

1644
01:52:13,600 --> 01:52:19,160
Oh, so definitely seeing kind of
the end from the beginning there

1645
01:52:19,160 --> 01:52:22,680
on that.
Well I'm but commandment all is

1646
01:52:22,680 --> 01:52:27,280
as one day to God.
Yep, all things are present with

1647
01:52:27,280 --> 01:52:30,240
me for they are mine and I know
them, he says in pro.

1648
01:52:30,240 --> 01:52:33,080
Great price.
When you turn now.

1649
01:52:34,400 --> 01:52:37,040
All of the rest of the leaders
of every generation and every

1650
01:52:37,040 --> 01:52:40,040
deed of every generation, both
of Israel and of the Gentiles,

1651
01:52:40,720 --> 01:52:48,640
were they done or to be done in
the time to come to all

1652
01:52:48,640 --> 01:52:51,960
generations till the end of
time, were all printed on the

1653
01:52:51,960 --> 01:52:55,600
curtain of the Omnipresent One.
I saw them all with my own eyes,

1654
01:52:56,320 --> 01:52:58,920
and when I had seen them, I
opened my mouth and said in

1655
01:52:58,920 --> 01:53:02,200
praise of the honor present one.
But the word of the king is

1656
01:53:02,200 --> 01:53:05,040
paramount, and who dare say to
him, why do that?

1657
01:53:05,560 --> 01:53:08,560
He who obeys the commandment
command will come to no harm.

1658
01:53:08,560 --> 01:53:12,560
And I said, Lord, what variety
you have created, and great are

1659
01:53:12,560 --> 01:53:15,800
your achievements, Lord.
Then here's the one I was trying

1660
01:53:15,800 --> 01:53:21,120
to get to.
Then he says, come, and I will

1661
01:53:21,120 --> 01:53:24,240
show you the spirits of the
stars.

1662
01:53:28,880 --> 01:53:32,920
So.
In Genesis or in Revelation,

1663
01:53:33,040 --> 01:53:36,920
excuse me, doesn't it talk about
the war in heaven a little bit

1664
01:53:36,920 --> 01:53:39,520
and the stars were cast down
from.

1665
01:53:41,360 --> 01:53:43,880
Yeah, well, in the morning stars
shout together, shattered

1666
01:53:43,880 --> 01:53:47,840
together for joy and as a job
when he understood the plan of

1667
01:53:47,840 --> 01:53:51,600
salvation.
But I also think so.

1668
01:53:51,600 --> 01:53:57,880
It's that, well, the earth has
was created spiritually before

1669
01:53:57,880 --> 01:54:01,240
was created temporally, meaning
the earth has a spirit, the

1670
01:54:01,240 --> 01:54:04,800
spirit form, and it possesses
intelligence.

1671
01:54:05,440 --> 01:54:08,200
Whether it's anything we can
relate to or not is another

1672
01:54:08,200 --> 01:54:10,360
question.
But it is important to know that

1673
01:54:10,360 --> 01:54:14,160
I think, oh, this is
interesting.

1674
01:54:16,600 --> 01:54:21,840
Chapter 48 Come and I will show
you the right hand of the

1675
01:54:21,840 --> 01:54:27,040
omnipresent one, which has been
banished behind him because of

1676
01:54:27,040 --> 01:54:30,600
the destruction of the temple.
Why would God's hand be banished

1677
01:54:31,280 --> 01:54:33,320
because of the destruction of
the temple?

1678
01:54:34,680 --> 01:54:38,640
Behind him means the place of
forgetfulness or rejection.

1679
01:54:39,600 --> 01:54:42,400
So he's been rejected the
temple.

1680
01:54:42,400 --> 01:54:47,560
The idea seems to be that God's
right hand cannot operate until

1681
01:54:47,560 --> 01:54:49,960
the temple is restored.
Boom.

1682
01:54:52,440 --> 01:54:55,360
The right hand is also
significant in terms of making

1683
01:54:55,360 --> 01:54:56,960
covenants.
I think they missed that.

1684
01:54:56,960 --> 01:55:00,840
Yep Yep.
You can't make covenants with

1685
01:55:00,840 --> 01:55:05,120
God until the temple is restored
according to Enoch.

1686
01:55:05,120 --> 01:55:13,640
What page?
Three O 5 How many ministering

1687
01:55:13,640 --> 01:55:19,600
angels are at each entrance?
6 for every single human being,

1688
01:55:20,560 --> 01:55:23,840
and they stand in the midst of
the entrances, facing the paths

1689
01:55:23,840 --> 01:55:26,920
of heaven.
What does Yahweh, the God of

1690
01:55:26,920 --> 01:55:30,720
Israel, the glorious king do?
The great God, mighty in power,

1691
01:55:30,720 --> 01:55:35,080
covers his face.
In arable there are 660

1692
01:55:35,080 --> 01:55:39,280
thousands of myriads of glorious
angels hewn out of flaming fire.

1693
01:55:40,320 --> 01:55:42,160
Standing off was at the throne
of glory.

1694
01:55:42,160 --> 01:55:43,880
The glorious King covers his
face.

1695
01:55:44,600 --> 01:55:47,320
Otherwise the heaven of arable
would burst open in the middle

1696
01:55:47,840 --> 01:55:49,520
because of the glorious
brilliance, beautiful

1697
01:55:49,520 --> 01:55:52,760
brightness, lovely splendor, and
radiant praises of the

1698
01:55:53,120 --> 01:55:54,680
appearance of the Holy One.
Blessed be he.

1699
01:55:54,680 --> 01:55:57,320
What now?
What does Yahweh do?

1700
01:55:57,320 --> 01:56:01,560
He covers his face.
What does that mean?

1701
01:56:01,560 --> 01:56:07,440
Because if He didn't, the heaven
would burst open.

1702
01:56:08,720 --> 01:56:11,800
And what would happen to all of
us surrounding the heavens?

1703
01:56:12,880 --> 01:56:22,520
We would be consumed.
So the veil, it protects it it

1704
01:56:22,600 --> 01:56:25,320
it keeps the wicked from
entering the realm, which they

1705
01:56:25,320 --> 01:56:30,640
couldn't do any way to be
killed, but the throne of God is

1706
01:56:30,640 --> 01:56:35,120
surrounded by a veil to protect
those who would otherwise be

1707
01:56:35,120 --> 01:56:38,040
consumed from his glory.
Right.

1708
01:56:39,560 --> 01:56:44,160
And there it just basically lays
it out.

1709
01:56:45,840 --> 01:56:49,840
This is cool.
He has the Chariots of the swift

1710
01:56:49,840 --> 01:56:52,600
cherub as it is written.
Riding upon a swift cherub.

1711
01:56:53,600 --> 01:56:56,800
Tell me those cherub I, I.
I haven't figured out the

1712
01:56:56,800 --> 01:57:00,840
relationship between the cherub,
the Shekinah, and the pillar of

1713
01:57:00,840 --> 01:57:06,360
light, but they are connected.
When he rides upon the swift

1714
01:57:06,360 --> 01:57:10,840
cherub placing between placing 1
foot on its back and the placing

1715
01:57:10,840 --> 01:57:16,040
the other foot on it, he
perceives 18,000 worlds at a

1716
01:57:16,040 --> 01:57:20,440
glance.
He discerns and sees into all of

1717
01:57:20,440 --> 01:57:26,920
them and knows all that is in
them as it is written. 18,000

1718
01:57:27,000 --> 01:57:30,720
roundabout.
How do we know that he views

1719
01:57:30,720 --> 01:57:33,760
every one of them each day?
Because it is written.

1720
01:57:34,640 --> 01:57:37,160
The Lord is looking down from
heaven at the sons of men to see

1721
01:57:37,160 --> 01:57:39,520
if a single one is wise, a
single one is seeking God,

1722
01:57:39,520 --> 01:57:42,880
etcetera, etcetera.
It's a lot of information to

1723
01:57:42,880 --> 01:57:46,560
process.
Hence the book.

1724
01:57:47,400 --> 01:57:53,760
Yeah.
Now these are Alep, alep and

1725
01:57:53,760 --> 01:57:57,480
Lamad.
They are acrostics is what they

1726
01:57:57,480 --> 01:57:59,080
call.
I don't understand it entirely,

1727
01:57:59,080 --> 01:58:01,960
but they're not relevant to the
meaning of the text.

1728
01:58:03,600 --> 01:58:06,480
It's like he would see in the
Psalms, like a verse.

1729
01:58:09,120 --> 01:58:13,000
Gotcha.
I took him, Enoch, the son of

1730
01:58:13,000 --> 01:58:15,320
Jared, from the midst, and
brought him up with the sound of

1731
01:58:15,320 --> 01:58:19,360
the trumpet and with shouting to
the height to be my witness,

1732
01:58:20,200 --> 01:58:23,960
together with the four creatures
of the chariot to the world to

1733
01:58:23,960 --> 01:58:27,400
come.
I appointsa, brought him up,

1734
01:58:27,440 --> 01:58:30,120
translated him into the
terrestrial, the world to come.

1735
01:58:31,320 --> 01:58:36,160
I appointed him over all the
storehouses and treasuries which

1736
01:58:36,160 --> 01:58:40,960
I have in every heaven, and I
entrusted to him the keys of

1737
01:58:40,960 --> 01:58:44,120
each of them.
I set him as a Prince over all

1738
01:58:44,120 --> 01:58:47,600
the Princess and made him a
minister of the throne of glory.

1739
01:58:48,080 --> 01:58:52,560
I sent him over the palaces of
the Audubon to open for me.

1740
01:58:52,560 --> 01:58:57,080
There are doors.
I committed to him wisdom and

1741
01:58:57,080 --> 01:58:59,520
understanding so that he should
behold the secrets of heaven

1742
01:59:01,440 --> 01:59:04,080
above and the of the heaven
above and the earth beneath.

1743
01:59:04,880 --> 01:59:07,680
He's given keys.
That's interesting.

1744
01:59:08,600 --> 01:59:17,080
It's very interesting.
And I turned his flesh to fiery

1745
01:59:17,080 --> 01:59:20,600
torches, and all the bones of
his body to coals of light.

1746
01:59:20,600 --> 01:59:22,600
I made the appearance of his
eyes like the appearance of

1747
01:59:22,600 --> 01:59:25,680
lightning, the light of his eyes
like light unfailing.

1748
01:59:25,680 --> 01:59:28,480
I caused his face to shine like
brilliant light of the sun,

1749
01:59:29,280 --> 01:59:31,440
brightness of his eyes like the
brilliance of the throne of

1750
01:59:31,440 --> 01:59:33,440
glory.
I made honor, majesty and glory,

1751
01:59:33,440 --> 01:59:39,400
His garment, beauty, pride and
strength, His outer robe and a

1752
01:59:39,400 --> 01:59:45,600
kingly crown. 500 * 500 pair of
songs, His diadem of a sold on

1753
01:59:45,600 --> 01:59:49,480
him, some of the majesty, some
of my some of my majesty, some

1754
01:59:49,480 --> 01:59:53,560
of my magnets, and some of my
splendor of my glory, which is

1755
01:59:53,560 --> 01:59:58,000
on the throne of glory.
And I called him by my name, the

1756
01:59:58,000 --> 02:00:00,360
Lesser Yahweh, Prince of the
Divine Presidents, knower of

1757
02:00:00,360 --> 02:00:03,880
secrets, every secret I have
revealed to him in love.

1758
02:00:05,040 --> 02:00:08,320
Every mystery I've made known to
him in uprightness.

1759
02:00:09,920 --> 02:00:13,240
This is interesting because it
it seems to still be following

1760
02:00:13,240 --> 02:00:16,720
the, the, the process of being
resurrected, right?

1761
02:00:16,720 --> 02:00:19,160
So the, the, the stuff happens
with the body.

1762
02:00:19,160 --> 02:00:23,000
But in in addition to that,
there seems to be a massive

1763
02:00:23,000 --> 02:00:26,840
download so that you can
understand all the things that

1764
02:00:26,840 --> 02:00:31,800
you need to understand to be
able to withstand that kind of

1765
02:00:31,800 --> 02:00:36,440
presence and that kind of
ability to look out and to to

1766
02:00:36,440 --> 02:00:39,880
not just see, but to kind of
internalize as well.

1767
02:00:41,680 --> 02:00:46,360
This is the as we've gone
through this tonight, one of the

1768
02:00:46,360 --> 02:00:52,080
things that has been impressed
upon me is the qualification for

1769
02:00:52,080 --> 02:00:52,800
Enoch.
Why?

1770
02:00:52,800 --> 02:00:57,080
Why Enoch?
That and that is a good

1771
02:00:57,080 --> 02:01:00,720
question.
Well, go ahead and the and the

1772
02:01:00,720 --> 02:01:07,800
answer when he went to the
Gregory in the the 3rd heaven

1773
02:01:07,800 --> 02:01:10,360
who were mourning their
brethren, the fallen watchers,

1774
02:01:11,480 --> 02:01:14,880
he said, I saw what they did and
I'm praying for them and you

1775
02:01:14,880 --> 02:01:20,000
guys should start singing again.
I mean this, this guy so and he

1776
02:01:20,000 --> 02:01:26,240
weeps for all of the wicked.
He mourns for them.

1777
02:01:27,520 --> 02:01:31,680
His qualification straight up,
as the Apostle Paul and Moroni

1778
02:01:31,680 --> 02:01:37,720
stated, his capacity to love far
exceeds mine, I'm afraid, which

1779
02:01:37,720 --> 02:01:41,040
is what speaks, yeah, which
qualifies him for.

1780
02:01:41,440 --> 02:01:45,080
Everything.
That's exactly where I was going

1781
02:01:45,080 --> 02:01:47,680
with this, right?
No, no you weren't.

1782
02:01:48,160 --> 02:01:52,640
Yes, yes, I was honestly, this
was it.

1783
02:01:53,680 --> 02:01:56,120
I was, I was going to frame a
little bit differently.

1784
02:01:56,120 --> 02:02:03,040
What makes Enoch, what's setting
apart, As much as I hate to say

1785
02:02:03,040 --> 02:02:05,440
this, it's the weeping he does
for mankind.

1786
02:02:05,440 --> 02:02:07,520
It's the weeping he does for the
giants.

1787
02:02:07,920 --> 02:02:14,240
It is that profound love that he
somehow manages to master,

1788
02:02:14,440 --> 02:02:16,920
right?
That I, that I think we all need

1789
02:02:16,920 --> 02:02:20,240
to get to that point.
I don't know how we get there.

1790
02:02:20,760 --> 02:02:26,360
I don't think.
But nonetheless, it's shown here

1791
02:02:26,360 --> 02:02:30,880
that it's possible, right?
And it becomes extremely

1792
02:02:30,880 --> 02:02:35,000
important that we get there or
we're not going to have it,

1793
02:02:35,000 --> 02:02:36,560
right?
Whether whether we come to it

1794
02:02:36,560 --> 02:02:40,680
quickly or we come to it over a
long period of time, we've got

1795
02:02:40,680 --> 02:02:45,960
to get there.
So we've made it to the end.

1796
02:02:45,960 --> 02:02:52,080
And along those lines of his
love, of Enoch's love, I'm

1797
02:02:52,080 --> 02:02:56,280
quoting from Third Enoch, the
last quotation, Third Enoch

1798
02:02:56,280 --> 02:03:00,840
tonight, chapter 47.
See verse 12.

1799
02:03:01,960 --> 02:03:07,840
Moreover, Metatron, the
resurrected Enoch sits for three

1800
02:03:07,840 --> 02:03:12,400
hours every day in the heavens
above and assembles all the

1801
02:03:12,400 --> 02:03:16,600
souls of the dead that have died
in their mother's wombs.

1802
02:03:17,280 --> 02:03:19,840
Oh wow.
And of the babes that have died

1803
02:03:19,840 --> 02:03:24,560
at their mother's breasts, and
of the schoolchildren who have

1804
02:03:24,560 --> 02:03:26,920
died while studying the five
books of the Torah.

1805
02:03:27,960 --> 02:03:31,840
He brings them beneath the
throne of glory and sits them

1806
02:03:31,840 --> 02:03:37,040
down around him in classes, in
companies, and in groups, and

1807
02:03:37,040 --> 02:03:41,040
teaches them the Torah and
wisdom and Haggadah and

1808
02:03:41,040 --> 02:03:43,600
tradition.
And it completes for them their

1809
02:03:43,600 --> 02:03:47,800
study of the scroll of the Law
as it is written.

1810
02:03:52,000 --> 02:03:55,320
Oh.
That one's a beautiful picture.

1811
02:03:56,240 --> 02:04:03,120
And somehow it really seems to
continue the same work of just

1812
02:04:03,120 --> 02:04:07,600
love, unfeigned and unfiltered,
that Enoch had in mortality.

1813
02:04:08,400 --> 02:04:11,360
Yeah, of course he'd be
surrounded by children.

1814
02:04:14,080 --> 02:04:16,360
As again, I'm going to go back
to this.

1815
02:04:16,360 --> 02:04:22,520
But again, as as we've looked at
this and we say, OK, what Enoch

1816
02:04:22,520 --> 02:04:28,080
reveals is amazing.
We could study this, I think for

1817
02:04:28,960 --> 02:04:33,280
the rest of our lives and only
still be scratching the surface

1818
02:04:33,280 --> 02:04:37,320
on this.
But I think the true gift here

1819
02:04:37,320 --> 02:04:41,040
is it's Enoch himself a little
bit, right?

1820
02:04:41,040 --> 02:04:46,160
What he's willing to do to be
close to God, which is to allow

1821
02:04:46,640 --> 02:04:51,160
himself to feel on a level that
I think very few of us are

1822
02:04:51,160 --> 02:04:55,720
willing to go.
Because when you love somebody

1823
02:04:55,720 --> 02:05:00,960
or people that much, heartbreak
is a surety.

1824
02:05:03,000 --> 02:05:06,640
It's it's an absolute surety
because you're going to see all

1825
02:05:06,640 --> 02:05:10,760
the wicked stuff man does to
each other and that's going to,

1826
02:05:10,880 --> 02:05:15,720
that's going to hurt.
But nonetheless, it's absolutely

1827
02:05:15,720 --> 02:05:20,760
necessary if we want to be as
God is, because God loves us

1828
02:05:20,760 --> 02:05:26,200
with nothing held back.
And if we desire those

1829
02:05:26,200 --> 02:05:30,200
blessings, we have to learn the
way that Enoch loved, which is

1830
02:05:30,200 --> 02:05:35,640
the way God loved or loves, and
be able to put that into some

1831
02:05:35,640 --> 02:05:41,240
sort of practice.
Only to figure out what gives

1832
02:05:41,240 --> 02:05:46,480
us, I mean really gives us joy,
how to serve because we all

1833
02:05:46,480 --> 02:05:49,560
serve differently.
We're all built differently, to

1834
02:05:49,560 --> 02:05:54,720
serve differently in the body of
the Kingdom of God and to find

1835
02:05:54,720 --> 02:05:57,920
it where we find the most joy
serving.

1836
02:05:58,160 --> 02:06:02,520
This last thing that I just read
about the resurrected Enoch

1837
02:06:03,000 --> 02:06:07,160
taking all of these children who
died young even be even before

1838
02:06:07,160 --> 02:06:10,600
they were born for the first
time as I read it, I thought, Oh

1839
02:06:10,600 --> 02:06:17,320
my gosh, I have a son.
His name is Evan, who died when

1840
02:06:17,320 --> 02:06:27,880
he was 10, and this was 20,
three years ago, and who's on my

1841
02:06:27,880 --> 02:06:32,360
mind every day.
And I thought, wouldn't that be

1842
02:06:32,360 --> 02:06:37,600
so cool if Evan was amongst that
company, sitting at the feet of

1843
02:06:38,160 --> 02:06:42,600
Enoch and learning from him
amongst all the other things I

1844
02:06:42,600 --> 02:06:47,600
can only imagine he's doing?
I think that's the gift, right?

1845
02:06:48,920 --> 02:06:50,720
I think that's the gift of the
text.

1846
02:06:50,720 --> 02:06:52,520
I think that's the gift of the
knowledge.

1847
02:06:55,000 --> 02:06:58,680
Yes.
Yes, I think at the end of the

1848
02:06:58,680 --> 02:07:04,080
day, that's it does.
You know, without trying to

1849
02:07:04,080 --> 02:07:07,240
sound too much like a hippie, it
does ultimately go back to the

1850
02:07:07,240 --> 02:07:09,280
love of the father that he has
for his children.

1851
02:07:10,920 --> 02:07:14,920
Well, they're all.
Things and a way to get back.

1852
02:07:14,920 --> 02:07:16,560
We've just got to choose to take
it.

1853
02:07:17,600 --> 02:07:21,560
But I it's been especially
rewarding this Easter season.

1854
02:07:23,760 --> 02:07:29,400
I really focus on that as my
choir gave a concert about the

1855
02:07:29,400 --> 02:07:32,840
resurrection, things leading up
to it, and what the resurrection

1856
02:07:32,840 --> 02:07:39,360
itself leads to and to feel more
profoundly than ever in my life

1857
02:07:39,400 --> 02:07:45,240
thus far, the greatest gift of
all of the gifts of God, which

1858
02:07:45,240 --> 02:07:49,000
is eternal life.
And it's been insightful too.

1859
02:07:49,000 --> 02:07:55,400
I have a a daughter-in-law who
was not raised in any faith and

1860
02:07:55,400 --> 02:08:01,600
who just lost her father who's
about my age and she's lost.

1861
02:08:03,000 --> 02:08:07,520
She doesn't know that is he just
gone forever?

1862
02:08:07,920 --> 02:08:12,360
Am I going to be gone forever?
I because of how I was raised,

1863
02:08:12,400 --> 02:08:16,120
that has never even crossed my
mind or, you know, until we

1864
02:08:16,120 --> 02:08:19,400
shared it through some of our
beliefs and examples of it and

1865
02:08:20,680 --> 02:08:25,040
in a matter of conversation.
And then she started to worry.

1866
02:08:25,040 --> 02:08:26,720
Oh, well, if he's still alive,
is he out?

1867
02:08:26,720 --> 02:08:28,160
Is he scared?
Is he lost?

1868
02:08:28,160 --> 02:08:32,040
And again, those things never
crossed my mind because I

1869
02:08:32,040 --> 02:08:39,080
believe in an omniscient,
omnipotent, all loving God who

1870
02:08:39,080 --> 02:08:41,840
will never, I mean the wicked,
you know, we'll get what's

1871
02:08:41,840 --> 02:08:44,040
coming to him.
But her father was a really good

1872
02:08:44,040 --> 02:08:50,800
guy and we could and we could
witness to her with the absolute

1873
02:08:50,800 --> 02:08:54,520
surety he's probably better off
than he's ever been in his life.

1874
02:08:55,960 --> 02:09:00,120
And he is probably trying to
watch everything you're doing

1875
02:09:00,120 --> 02:09:02,560
and rooting for you and cheering
for you.

1876
02:09:03,400 --> 02:09:12,080
And I, I, I cannot imagine the
hopelessness I would feel not

1877
02:09:12,160 --> 02:09:16,680
knowing that I would hold that
my boy again, right?

1878
02:09:17,440 --> 02:09:22,800
And that there is a purpose to
the brevity of his life that

1879
02:09:22,800 --> 02:09:27,480
will manifest itself in the
Millennium in terms of we we

1880
02:09:27,480 --> 02:09:33,880
need the transitionary beings to
communicate to those on this

1881
02:09:33,880 --> 02:09:36,720
earth the necessary and
necessary information from the

1882
02:09:36,720 --> 02:09:39,240
other side.
I mean, yeah.

1883
02:09:40,040 --> 02:09:44,120
So all of this stuff.
And he and I, he was just 10,

1884
02:09:44,120 --> 02:09:47,760
but he knew what was going on.
And we, we made covenants with

1885
02:09:47,760 --> 02:09:54,880
one another on his deathbed.
And I, you know, I don't want

1886
02:09:54,880 --> 02:09:57,400
to, I can't die yet.
I got stuff to do.

1887
02:09:58,240 --> 02:10:02,800
But I absolutely look forward to
being with him again, meeting

1888
02:10:02,800 --> 02:10:06,560
him and sharing everything, you
know, absolutely.

1889
02:10:06,680 --> 02:10:10,200
And that hope and more than
hope, that faith and that

1890
02:10:10,200 --> 02:10:15,280
assurance, the knowledge that I
have is the gift of the restored

1891
02:10:15,280 --> 02:10:19,640
gospel, most importantly, and
also the gift of these Enoch

1892
02:10:19,640 --> 02:10:23,640
texts, which is a part of, which
is a part of my witness, you

1893
02:10:23,640 --> 02:10:27,400
know.
Absolutely, Ken.

1894
02:10:27,600 --> 02:10:33,400
As always, this was great stuff.
Hang out for just 5 minutes, all

1895
02:10:33,400 --> 02:10:36,000
right?
Now, thanks for indulging me yet

1896
02:10:36,000 --> 02:10:38,280
again.
This was fantastic.

1897
02:10:38,640 --> 02:10:40,840
Now this is a side note.
Bro.

1898
02:10:40,840 --> 02:10:44,600
We went five hours.
I tried not to think about that,

1899
02:10:44,680 --> 02:10:47,680
but I mean, man, we've got, it's
awesome, don't we?

1900
02:10:47,840 --> 02:10:50,600
We just gorged ourselves on
edict tonight.

1901
02:10:50,600 --> 02:10:51,440
That was so.
Cool.

1902
02:10:51,480 --> 02:10:53,160
It's good.
It's good.

1903
02:10:53,920 --> 02:10:56,240
All right, hang out five
minutes, brother.

1904
02:10:57,880 --> 02:10:59,040
All right.
Bye everybody.
