Welcome to Part 2 of this week's podcast.

Now, Chapter 6. This is built around the concept of one God only.

Book of Mormon is a Hebrew book. God is God. Whether you're talking to Father, Son, the Holy Ghost, that's God.

They don't get caught up on which God will be talking about, irrelevant. It's God.

So we see one of the most important verses in Deuteronomy. That's in Deuteronomy 6 verse 4.

The Shema, it's called in Hebrew. Here, O Israel, Jehovah, our God is one Jehovah.

Which is only saying Jehovah is one God.

So, Bruce, is this a standard of monotheism in a world of polytheism here in Chapter 6?

Yeah. So this concept that there's one God is big. And that's at the beginning and it's just kind of pounded in.

Yeah, it's an over and over type thing. And even verse 7 of Chapter 6, teach these things to your children.

Teach them. Talk of them. And this is where the factories come in to play where they put the box on the forefront of their head.

Meaning over the brain and over the heart that your heart and mind are focused on God.

And so the Lord wants these what daily reminders on their forehead that they, it's verse 12 of Chapter 6,

less you forget what God has done.

You can see that throughout there's, I mean, I've been looking through it all the remembers and all the forgets.

And we see that in the book of Mormon too. And we remember President Kimbell's famous statement that he said when you look in the dictionary for the most important word, you know what it is?

He said it could be remember. And if you watch for remember and forget in the scriptures, it's all over the place.

You've got to remember it and then you need to keep remembering it.

Sounds like to me, Bruce in 2 in Chapter 6, Moses is saying when you get wealthy, remember God, because all sorts of good things are going to happen to you.

You're going to build great cities. You're going to have vineyards and olive trees. Don't forget God.

Now this, I appreciate you bringing that up because when we see the promises being made to Israel, the great blessings,

the blessings of great prosperity. The reason for the prosperity is that when the Gentiles coming to their land on the trade routes, see Israel in great prosperity, they're going to ask about that.
