The Book of Mormon is indeed a special witness for our times. It is the story of a people

who have centered their lives on the prophecies of the coming of a Messiah, who is Jesus Christ

the Lord. They put their hopes in His coming, and in His atoning sacrifice that would be

wrought. They anxiously awaited His coming. They prepared a place for Him to come. They

waited for 600 years for His arrival, and then He came as promised. We are no different

in our day. We know that He is coming. Many prophecies of His coming have been given

in our day. A place has been prepared for Him to come, and He will come. Section 133 gives

us much to think about to prepare for His inevitable and glorious arrival. Let's explore

this together. Welcome to Meridian Magazine's Come Follow Me podcast. This is Scott and

Maureen Proctor, and we are delighted to be with you again. Today's lesson will center

on Section 133 with some commentary on Section 134 of the Doctrine and Covenants. Now as

many of you know, Scott and I have been blessed to spend a great deal of time in the Middle

East, not only leading tours but doing research and photo documentation of the holiest

sites in the Savior's life, and in other places significant to the Scriptures. We go every

year to Egypt and the Holy Land, to the lands of the prophets of old, and Scott has gathered

some of his best images to illustrate this year's Come Follow Me wall calendar on the Old Testament.

We have also included in this calendar not only the National Holidays, but the Jewish Holy

Days, so they will become part of our Old Testament thinking this coming year. These

beautiful calendars are only available from Meridian Magazine, and you can find them
