Hey everyone. This is Taylor Halverson from Book of Mormon Central. We've had a lot of requests to add our weekly

Come Follow Me videos with myself and Tyler Griffin to our podcast. We are very excited to do this. However,

just know that we use a lot of visuals in our videos. So if you ever want to see the visuals,

check out Book of Mormon Central on YouTube. We hope you enjoy.

I'm Taylor.

And I'm Tyler.

This is Book of Mormon Central's Come Follow Me Insights. Today, Genesis 42 to 50.

So today's block of scriptures that we're going to cover these chapters, let's begin

with kind of a satellite view of some of the potential symbols

that we can look at as we then come down and start marching through the specific verses

within these chapters. So if you look at the ancient world of the Bible, you have the Holy Land here, so there's

where Jerusalem is going to be located. So this is seen as the land of Israel, the promised

land for these people. And here is Egypt. So look at this geographical lesson from

the satellite view for just a moment. So you have the family of Israel living here, or Jacob,

his two wives, Leah and Rachel, the two concubines, Bill Hazilpa, and the 12 sons

and Dinah. And the group is growing. They're here. They then sell Joseph into captivity

and he leaves. Keep in mind, promised land is one way to look at the promised land symbolically,

metaphorically would be heaven for us. Okay? One way to look at Egypt would be to see it as

mortality or earth life.

So we all leave heaven, we come down and live on the earth in this mortal existence.

And the beautiful part of this story is that Joseph becomes this savior motif, this symbol for Christ,

who comes to the earth to prepare the way for our deliverance from bondage, from captivity.
