It is a puzzlement to Jew and Gentile alike that the Lord continually mentions Ephraim in connection with the Latter-days. Ephraim is important because he was given the birthright of Israel (but not the royal house). So, how is this possible since we don't know where Ephraim is? Or do we?

The Word of the Lord can be a burden instead of a blessing on Earth. It is certainly a burden to those who will not come to the Lord and let Him be their healer. It can also be a burden to Him when He is forced to enact a punishment. The Lord does not like punishments. He is the God of life and love, but He is also a God of Justice. This episode will explore an amazing series of prophecies and promises given to ancient Judah including a promise of what could be (if only they would choice it) and...

In our last episode we ended just before our author and historian was able to elaborate on the mystery of the prophet Elias. In this episode we will continue where that one left off. We are almost through a series of amazing visions, which it is said, that the young prophet Zechariah had in a single night. Modern men and women believe that many of the things that we take for granted today have always been, but that is not necessarily so. The Lord, in his kindness, has always warned His prophets ...

When this is coupled with insights of the Restoration, we have a more complete, and very interesting picture, of future events.

We are continuing our in-depth and incredible journey into the little understood Book of Zechariah. We have been exploring a series of vision the young prophet had and have been discovering how they relate to our day too. It is just proof that the word of the Lord is as one eternal round. The good advice He shares, and the fair commands He gives, are as useful and fruitful in the captivity of ancient Babylon or struggling as serfs under the weight of our modern Great Beasts and would-be tyrants....

The Book of Odabiah is the only book in our Bibles written by a prophet from the bloodline of Esau; which was (and still is) the major enemy of Israel.

This is a very timely feast as we are watching the culmination of these two great houses happening right before our eyes. It is this conflict that will eventually lead to the great End Time war.

The emancipation of modern women is a story that is not clearly understood by the world. It had its beginning in the City of the Saints at Nauvoo on March 17th 1842 when the Prophet of God turned the priesthood keys for women on the earth. This great event eventually led to women getting the vote, first in the Territory of Utah but officially in the State of Wyoming. Someday the history books of humanity will thank Joseph Smith the Prophet for this great gift to God's daughters; and yet, where m...

In this episode we share the part of the story that you don't know. Ruth, after the Book of Ruth, closes. This is the missing "rest of the story."

Grandmother to King David and Jesus Christ, she is proof that a good woman, no matter her background, can rise in the Kingdom of God to be one honored and beloved. The Book of Ruth, that is in our Bibles, was written by the Prophet Samuel. In this episode we fill in t...

The Lord frequently spoke of the Earth as a field with His coming judgement being a harvest. This is an ancient idea that goes back to the days of Noah (and possibly even before that). Harvesters know that the Threshing Floor was an extremely important place where grain was "pressed" and "tried" until it became useful for the landowner. This episode will also explore the Temple as a Threshing Floor. For even more check out, " Ruth & the Saviours on Mount Zion " Vol. 3 in the larger Gospel Fe...

One of the most important morals to understand in the Old Testament is the Law of the Goel. This law is crucial to Jesus Christ's claim on us and our legal claim on Him. Because Jesus is our Goel, we in turn are able to become saviours on Mount Zion, or goels (small g) to others. This is one of the greatest acts of God's love. It is proof that He loves us. Those wishing to feast even more are invited to check out the author's "Ruth and the Saviours on Mount Zion." We are happy to announce that V...
