Hello everyone welcome to another episode of follow him. I'm your host

Hank Smith. I'm here with my great and marvelous co-host. John by the the way, John, that's 3rd Nephi, Chapter 21

verse 9. Great and marvelous work. That describes you, great and marvelous. We are

going through 3rd Nephi 20 through 26 today. This is the

Savior's second day with the Nephites. What are you looking forward to? What comes to mind?

When I saw the lesson plan of Third Nephi 20 through 26, people will look at that say, oh these are the words of Jesus, but there's all this Old

Testament in there. He's going to talk about Malachai. He's going to talk about Isaiah. He's going to talk about

Micah, even the prophecy of Joseph Smith sounds like in there.

I'm really excited for Ross here because I would love some extra clarification on this part that

comes from Micah. I'm really looking forward to that. John Ross Barron has become a good friend of mine over the last few years when we first had him on. I didn't know who he was. I said, who is this guy? Since then we have become fast friends. I've had many wonderful

conversations through this last few years. Ross, what are we doing today?

These are some of the most textually deep chapters and if we zoom out a little bit

we're talking about really the Savior in terms of His majesty and power in gathering his people and when I say his people I mean

Gentiles House of Israel his people and in some ways day two is the Savior's exposition on how the Abrahamic

covenant is actually going to be fulfilled. I'll ask a student tell me about

the Savior's visit to the Nephites and they quote the first day,

something that happened in 3rd Nephy 11 through 18.

Then I say, well that was the first day, what do you think of the second day?

Not very many people quote that second day. They honestly don't know what's happened.

Maybe one of the reasons is what you said Ross, it's textually deep. It can be difficult. We're going to make sure today that the second day is as

wonderful as the first day in the minds of our listeners.

Ross has been here before, John, but if you could give us a quick introduction, that will be helpful.
