Welcome to Talking Scripture, I'm Mike.

And I'm Bryce.

And today we are going to be just in section 63 of the Doctrine and Covenants.

There are so many things happening in this section, aren't there Bryce?

Yes.

And notice we're back in Kirtland, Ohio.

Now do you remember in the New Testament where Jesus took Peter, James and John up to the

Mount of Transfiguration and was transfigured in front of them and they heard the voice

of God and Moses and Elijah was there and many other wonderful people were there and

they had this out of earth experience where they got to see Jesus in all of his glory.

And then they came down from the mountain to the reality of mortal life and they found

that the disciples struggled to get an evil spirit cast out of a boy and had felt like

they had failed.

Jesus came back to that situation, came down from being in heaven down to the reality

of mortality and section 63 is kind of like that.

Joseph's been up to Jackson County and clearly saw in vision Zion.

I just don't doubt for a second that the Lord showed Joseph the glory of Zion.
