podcast that will go a long way in helping people find us. Welcome to

talking scripture. I'm Mike and I'm Bryce and today we're going to talk about Jacob. We're going to do Jacob 5

through 7 allegory of the olive trees. Olive trees and Antichrist today Mike.

Yep that's what we're doing. So I'm going to start off talking a little bit about the

question that precedes the allegory and then I'm going to give a brief sketch of

what's happening in Jacob V and then I'm really then we're going to have Bryce talk about another way to read the

allegory on a personal level and then we'll get a little bit more in depth into

the historical narrative into the way that it's looked at a little bit more in depth.

But what I really want to do is get to Bryce's take on, you know, making this personal.

So that's kind of where it's going to play out and

then we'll get to share them in the narrative there we got to mention briefly at

least zenas pat in passing Mike this profit disappeared from our current Testament, appears to have been one of the most influential

prophets in the Old Testament. I think someday the world is going to realize that the Prophet

Zenas was a prophet among prophets.

He is quoted heavily in the Book of Mormon, and clearly when you read things like this allegory,

this man knew his stuff.

I love how often the Book of Mormon quotes the prophets quote

Zenus and there's a little hint.
