Brother Bruce Porter in the second half of this video, was my companion when I was 19 years old in the England Southwest Mission! I am so delighted that he has become who he is today! Still love you Elder Porter, my favorite Egyptologist! Bob
President Nelson spoke of the egyptian ritual embrace in his October 1996 general conference talk titled, "The Atonement" saying "In Hebrew, the basic word for atonement is kaphar, a verb that means “to cover” or “to forgive.” Closely related is the Aramaic and Arabic word kafat, meaning “a close embrace”-no doubt related to the Egyptian ritual embrace. References to that embrace are evident in the Book of Mormon. One states that “the Lord hath redeemed my soul … ; I have beheld his glory, and I am encircled about eternally in the arms of his love.” Another proffers the glorious hope of our being “clasped in the arms of Jesus.”
*_And Ether Chapter 3 !!_*
I recently heard in another lds KZhead video about the Hebrew word for atonement "cover" in connection with the same word for the garment that Adam and Eve received. So is it correct to say that the word for atonement, garment, and embrace all have the same root?
@@mrskjavier do you remember the word in Hebrew? KaFaR or kaphar is as follows The letter roots of the word KaFaR are: K - meaning palm (of a hand), open F - meaning mouth or speak R - meaning head, authority or first So the word for atonement has those three symbols associated with it at least in ancient Hebrew
Psalm 5:12 For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
Just this past week I was with the young women in my branch, and one of the young women was teaching a class on “How Can I Draw Closer to Jesus Christ through Sacred Ordinances and Covenants?” In the lesson, I asked my young women, “Do you know what the difference between ordinances and covenants are? Can you explain what they each mean?” Some shared what they thought a covenant was, but admitted they did not really know a lot and would like to learn more. I told them that as a new convert, I still don’t know a lot, and I have a lot to learn about these two things, but I would share what I was 95% sure was one way to explain it. I went and stood in front of one of the young women and said, “Okay Sarah, I want to make a covenant with you. A covenant is a promise where you both have different sides of the promise. Let’s say that you promise me that you will bake me cookies once a year, and in that covenant, I promise to always help you fix your car when it breaks down. The things that we promise to each other, that is the covenant.” Then I stuck out my hand for her to shake it with me. “And the action where we shake hands, that is the ordinance.” I pointed to our gripped hands. The handshake is the ordinance, and the promises we make to each other are the covenant. Every young woman in that room was watching, and they said, “Ah, that makes sense!” As I returned to my seat, I was really blown away, because actually what I said and did to teach them came all in the moment as I said it. I was really surprised I reached out my hand to do a handshake as the ordinance. Up until then what had been in my mind was getting immersed in water, aka baptism. As I returned to my seat, I thought of the ordinances I do as an endowed member who is also a temple worker. I was blown away at what I was being taught by the Holy Spirit as I sought to share what I knew with the young women. Thank you for sharing this video. My husband served his mission in Cambodia and he always talks with me about how he saw hints at the temple ordinances through the Buddhist Temples, and loves it when people bring it up. Amazing video that can “lift up the hands which hang down,” and strengthen the “feeble knees.” Funny that this verse came to my mind, when it is also in the reading for this past week, Hebrews 12:12. When the phrase came to mind, I had no idea what book it was in, as I did not read that verse explicitly this past week. Thank you for hosting the Holy Spirit in your videos.
I’m so grateful that you shared that experience about teaching the YW! Now I understand covenants and ordinances much more clearly. Thank you!
That has happened to me too when I teach! I’ll explain something new that just came to me in that moment that I didn’t fully understand! It just falls out of my mouth and makes complete sense! I’m so grateful that the Holy Ghost is the true teacher through both student and leader!
Love this example. I would like to use and share it with others. Thank you!
I meant to say, may I use your example to teach this as well?! Thanks again
@@user-gz7sq1xf1y If you feel like it’s True, of course you can use it! If it’s true then that means the Spirit was truly teaching me.
Wow! So interesting! I want to learn more!!
We are all part of an eternal story. Thank you for putting these together.
Embrace. And the promises. Wow. More and more evidence (there’s so much) that Joseph Smith Jr. couldn’t have known these things without divine revelation! There’s just no possible explanation otherwise!
The thing is, that that revelation isn't some unreachable magical thing... It's as simple as building brick by brick, one thing after another, when the next understanding enhances the last. It's not a Massive download of everything. It's one word after another. One line after another.
A little learning is a dangerous thing ; Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring : There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, And drinking largely sobers us again. - Alexander Pope
This is mind blowing
Wow, that is unbelievable. Thank you for sharing this. We need deeper study and teaching on the Temple, there is so much the Lord is offering us!
Love this so much and I’m a member of the church of Jesus Christ of latter saint
@@AVoiceCryingInTheWildern-vt6ed Don't be upset for us. Be upset that your pastor spends more time talking about Mormons than about Jesus. I would feel cheated if I were in your shoes
What an incredible video! It helped me so much in answering questions that I've always had about the temple. Thank you so much for putting this together!
Amazing and beautiful. Thank you ❤️💕
You always do a great job putting these videos together.
Wow love this
Excellent video. If I could only share all the unexplainable miracles and things I have witnessed in my life from the temple and Priesthood. Many would not believe my experiences but I know they are true. The Priesthood comes from God and is mighty and powerful. Trust God, trust the temple, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is true and the temple is a glorious example of heaven on earth.
Ur WONDERFUL. WIRDS & PARKERS MARVELOUS TALENT= AN AMAZING UPLIFTING ENRICHMENT 2 our knowledge 4 TODAY!!😂❤ THANK YOU!!🤣
God's TRUTH IS POWERFUL ❗️✨️🙏🏻💜
Love this!
Interesting Video 🌹🌿 This makes sense since the Bible is Translated from Aramaic Egyptian ♀️ Hebrew ✡️ and Greek 🇬🇷... And the Book of Mormon is Translated from Reformed Egyptian ♀️
exceptional
Thank you for the thorough 😮
That was so good. Thank you so much
Modern society is obsessed with "deconstruction." Dissecting things into nothing, severing connections between history, nature, and morality, laughing at any question of the meaning behind anything. So nowadays any kind of ritual or symbolism is looked at with extreme suspicion, even by many Christians. In the scriptures we learn that all truth can be circumscribed into one great whole. Nothing in God's creation is free-floating. It's all connected. That's the kind of thinking we need to have to understand the temple. I view today's highly-valued formula of extreme scepticism as being just as foolish as those people who will believe anything they hear.
Literally nothing is sacred anymore as the vast majority of the world does not even comprehend what "sacred" means. And by having no knowledge of it, and having nothing in their lives that is sacred, they mock it.
This is so true I have to comment: True.
Thank you. Very informative.
Fascinating!
Powerful! ❤
2nd Nephi 4:33 ....encircle me around in the robe of thy righteousness!
I love your analogy of the puzzle. Its so obvious when people can only see one piece of the puzzle instead of the whole image. Its like they have a mark on them in the way they look and speak to you. Boasting and bragging from a place of ignorance. Like most political discussions these days.
Wow!!
I think it would be easier to watch these short clips if you post them as “shorts” or “reels”
Shorts have a 60 second limit unfortunately and most of my videos are several minutes. These are posted as reels on instagram though as well.
The apple may look perfect and shiny, but the seed is rotten to the core!
🔥🔥🔥 where can I find the full interviews?
The brother talking about the Egyptian symbology was interviewed by Cwic Media. @Cwicshow
Where can I listen to this interview in full?!
Does God work through contracts though? I understand the endowment is old. But how can I know it is of God?
Interesting. Man made
Contract law requires the two sides be able to agree without pressure or coercion from the other side. It also requires full disclosure of the terms and conditions. How does the temple experience stack up? You are not informed prior to going to the temple of what the covenants are that you are to be agreeing to. Once there, the only opportunity to back out is before the terms are presented, and then with much embarrassment if you do. The pressure of all those you are in company with plus the desire to not offend family or friends is highly significant. Temple covenants are not something you are fully able to make of your own free will. In that sense it departs considerably from what is considered acceptable contract law. If a contract is made by coercion and pressure from the other side without full disclosure, contract law is such that it makes that contract null and void. To say that temple covenants are special because they come from foundational principles laid down anciently could be said about any agreement we sign and is utter nonsense. Of course it was heavily influenced by freemasonry and has no relationship with ancient times more than any other common custom we have inherited as our culture developed.
And how about that Shabaka Stone?!
Why all the changes in the temple then?
The ordinances are being explained more, they are not being changed.
Jared Halverson talks about it like a gift. The endowment is a gift. The packaging or wrapping can change, but the gift and covenants are the same.
I am sure Dr. Ritner would disagree......
All that is conveyed here is true! But none of it was of Yahavah. All of it came from the land of conjuring... Egypt.
How can I get Dan McClellan's take on all this?
Why would you want it?
Uuuuuuuh, ok??
They deny Yeshua as Messiah.
no they don't
@@TheHappyNarwhals I stand corrected. They don’t believe he is the ONLY son of God nor that he is I Am.
@@TheRockofGodsLove They believe He is the Only Begotten in the flesh...
@@TheRockofGodsLove we believe He is the Firstborn spirit son of the Father and the only begotten son of the Father in the flesh. We also believed that He is I Am and that he is Jehovah God of the Old Testament. The scriptures make it clear that we are all spiritual children of the Father but that Yeshua still holds a special place as I mentioned above that does not apply to the rest of us.
So he's comparing the pagan Amun temple in Karnak to Mormon temples? Is he saying that they worship Amun-Ra too?
Many religions “imitate” the original covenant given to Adam from God. We believe that in each dispensation God calls prophets to restore the purity of those covenants. And specifically in our day, after many centuries of distortion (apostasy) God has revealed to a living prophet the true order of his covenant and has restored the priesthood authority through that prophet to perform the ordinances associated with the covenants.
@@TrueMillennial Yes, but I see LDS as being part of the problem, a continuation of the perversion of God's Word and Will, and the Gospel of Christ -- they are certainly not the solution. The solution is Jesus Christ, the living God, not Joseph Smith, who was objectively some occultic, trouble-making scam artist and scoundrel at best. I am continually shocked by what the LDS official church sources tell me about him. The truth is worse than anything I've seen from the LDS so-called enemies or "haters." The priesthood has no need to be "restored" as Jesus Christ is our Eternal High Priest -- you can't do better than that.
Your source is Egypt? Egypt is a wicked place, was and is!!! The Commandments of the old testament tells, the lords people not to follow the ways of the Egyptians. If you read the book of Jasher, the first pharaoh was not righteous, but was a ConMan that came to seduce the king of Egypt, by taxing the dead or charging for graves in the king of Egypt, called that man pharaoh, which means to tax the dead. Joseph had a tendency to indulge. I suggest everyone get back to the route, Joeseph’s calling was the Book of Mormon and nothing else.
And he found the "Book of Mormon" while treasure hunting.
@@archangel_one how do you explain the same history with a hopewell mound builders who are Hebrew and migrated from Jerusalem? The fifth marker DNA that shows that came from Jerusalem, all the ancient archaeological evidence in the millions? I can go on if you want. Yes, Joeseph was an idiot and made a bunch of mistakes, but it’s no different than living in the timeframe of the book of Judges or king David. If you lived after David, a few generations later, and you found out that David put his own people through gladiator events to the death, abused his wives, drank, and, etc., then would that change your standpoint of the house of Israel and the Lord?
Totally agree….it’s rooted in masonry….📐💯
Sounds like he's saying that the Mormon Temples are based on or rooted in the covenant with pagan god of Amun-Ra?
@@archangel_one That’s probably one of them….Jupiter is another of Joes favourites…👍🏽
@@pattykake7195 Are you referring to Joseph Smith's Jupiter Talisman? He supposedly has a Mars Dagger as well.
@@archangel_one Yep…he loved those ancient gods…🤣
