Summary
→ Timestamps:
(00:00) An overview of D&C 76.
(17:34) Jesus Christ, redeemer of all worlds. Only those who reject Him will not receive a kingdom of glory.
(21:51) The Greek text of John 5 reveals a different reading, suggesting distinctions within the Resurrection.
(24:18) Those who reject Christ are seen in vision, including Lucifer and the sons of perdition. The Saints are encouraged to not be overcome by the Adversary.
(42:24) The Order of Melchizedek. Those who overcome by faith inherit all things. The early Christians discussed how Christ’s victory enabled man to become like God, or theosis.
(46:34) The terrestrial world is seen in vision.
(56:57) The telestial world is a glory that is beyond description.
(59:42) In the celestial world the saints see as we are seen and are known as we are known.
(1:02:39) The telestial world is seen again. We are invited to lay down the animal within us upon the altar of sacrifice.

| 0:24.6 | Welcome. For show notes, head over to our website, talkingscripture.org. Welcome to Talking Scripture. I'm Mike. And I'm Bryce. And today we're going to be talking about |
| 0:28.3 | section 76 of the Doctor in Covenants. The vision. Yeah, this is a big deal. This is February |
| 0:33.5 | 1832. The church is just a couple years old, and they're in Ohio. Joseph's looking at |
| 0:40.1 | doing the Joseph Smith translation of the Bible. They're in John 5. They read John 529, and then |
| 0:46.0 | Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon have a vision. It's a vision of the three degrees of glory, |
| 0:51.3 | and there's a lot in here in this section. Section 76 has such a great |

| 1:11.8 | and then it ends with a great message on understanding things spiritually. Boy, that is so rich. |

| 1:33.2 | ourselves or anyone we love over the head. |
| 1:36.4 | I know a lot of parents will read Section 76 and get very concerned about their children, |
| 1:41.4 | and they'll just assume that a child is destined to a lower kingdom |
| 1:45.0 | of glory, or that a child will read this. |
