Summary

Have you ever felt lost trying to understand the Book of Revelation? Or wondered how God guides us, step by step, even when we feel like "little children"? This video reveals profound answers from Doctrine & Covenants 77-80! Summary: This comprehensive lesson unpacks the rich teachings of Doctrine & Covenants 77-80, offering insights into God's methods of revelation, personal development, and church organization. We begin by tackling the symbolic language of the Book of Revelation (D&C 77), exploring the meaning behind the "sea of glass," "four beasts," and the significance of "eyes" (knowledge) and "wings" (agency). Discover the purpose of the seven seals and the identity of the angels, including Elias, who gathers Israel and places the "seal of the living God" upon the foreheads of the faithful. Next, we delve into the practicalities of building Zion (D&C 78) through the establishment of the United Firm (later the United Order). Learn how this organization regulates the "storehouse for the poor," fosters "equality in the bonds of heavenly things," and prepares God's people to "stand independent" amidst tribulation. This section emphasizes the crucial role of commandments, councils, and unbreakable covenants in achieving unity and protecting against spiritual blindness. We then focus on personal growth (D&C 78), understanding that while we may often feel like "little children," God patiently leads us along, knowing we "cannot bear all things now". This highlights the importance of receiving all things with thankfulness and becoming "faithful and wise stewards". Finally, we explore the sacred nature of mission calls (D&C 79-80). Whether serving abroad or at home, we are assured that "it mattereth not, for ye cannot go amiss" as we declare the things we have heard, believe, and know to be true. This process of gaining testimony, coupled with the companionship of the Holy Ghost, empowers us to fulfill our divine assignments. Call-to-Action: What insights from these revelations resonated most with you? How have you experienced God patiently leading you along? Share your thoughts and questions in the comments below!

Many of you are with me every week and I love you for it. Others join me every day and that's an incredible feat.

Taking the daily devotional, some of you have reached out and said, it's such a great way to just start the day.

0:17.9

And wake up and roll out of bed, hit the knees, offer my prayers, and then while

0:22.3

I'm getting ready for the day or on my morning commute, just listen. And in 10, 12, 13 whatever

0:29.0

minutes, I've got a great scriptural thought in mind that I can be wrestling with and pondering

0:34.2

on for the rest of the day. For those of you who join me like that,

0:38.0

thank you for letting me be a commute partner or just join you for some daily time in the

Word of God. It really is an honor. Now, last week, we climbed the mountaintop. We were in Section

0:49.3

76. It's hard to get any higher in elevation than that one. Vision after vision after vision with the Father and the Son and the Fall of Lucifer

and the Sons of Perdition and all the degrees of glory,

1:01.0

wow, that was an epic revelation to spend our time on.

This week we're coming down the mountain.

1:07.0

There's yet mountains to climb coming ahead.

Section 84, for example, two weeks from now is another peak that is incredible.

1:14.9

But this week and next week, we get to acclimatized back in the valley with some more kind of down-to-earth day-to-day kinds of revelations.

1:23.2

That being said, they're still incredibly important. Some of the doctrine that we'll see here, or the principles, I should say, some of the

1:29.3

principles we're going to wrestle with are incredibly applicable, relevant in our day-to-day life.

1:34.6

So enjoy the time in the valley, just as much as we enjoy the ascent up to the mountaintop.

1:39.8

This week is section 77 through 80, and there's some fascinating stuff here.
