Hello my friends welcome back to Unshaken. Welcome back to the book of Mormon and welcome to the book of Helaman.

We finished the war chapters the so-called war chapters last week and I say so called because the book of Mormon is so filled with war chapters it's hard to

confine them to the last 20 chapters of Alma. In fact the first thing you'll see in the

Book of Heleman is more wars and rumors of wars and so on. That's actually an

in Mosiah where the church is organized, again think of the latter day parallel, the church is organized again think of the latter day parallel the church is

organized we've got these missionary chapters well missionaries go forth to share the gospel you

have these war chapters wars and rumors of wars.

The wars were huge at the end of Alma, the rumors of wars we're going to start seeing

more of in Heilaman.

Again, those signs of the times, those become larger than life in the book of Heelumen, especially with the help of Samuel

the Lamanite.

And then you see the destruction of wickedness all around, kind of an Armageddon kind of a moment,

in 3rd 25 chapter 8 and 9 and 10 and then the coming

of Christ in chapter 11. You get his ministry, you have a mini millennium in
