Summary

In this episode of Handmaidens, Harems and Heroines, we explore two of the most expansive and identity-shaping chapters in all of scripture: Moses chapter 1 and Abraham chapter 3. Together, these chapters lift our eyes beyond the mortal world and remind us who we really are—and why we are here. Beginning with Moses 1, we witness a powerful confrontation between Moses and Satan. This chapter teaches how spiritual clarity comes from knowing our divine identity as children of God, and how that knowledge gives us strength to resist the temptations, deceptions, and counterfeits of the adversary. Moses’s declaration—“I am a son of God”—becomes a model for discipleship in a world filled with competing voices. Turning to Abraham 3, we are invited into a grand vision of the cosmos and the premortal life. Abraham learns of intelligences, divine order, and God’s eternal plan—revealing that we existed before this life and were chosen to participate in God’s great work. These verses help us see mortality not as an accident, but as a purposeful step in a loving, eternal design. Together, Moses 1 and Abraham 3 testify of the work and glory of God: to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of His children. This study encourages faith, spiritual courage, and a deeper sense of divine belonging—reminding us that knowing who we are changes how we live.

0:00.0	Satan is a deceiver.
0:02.0	He's always trying to counterfeit the Son of God.
0:05.0	I personally think this is one of those precious things that were removed from the Scriptures.
0:10.0	We have got to learn how the Spirit feels, and that's why Scripture study is so important.
0:16.0	The book of Genesis does never mention temptation, Satan, or devil. In fact, as I've mentioned in the past,
0:23.7	the entire Old Testament never uses the word. Hello, I'm Lynn Hilton Wilson. Shalom. Welcome back
0:33.6	to Scripture Central, where we try to build enduring faith in Jesus Christ, where we try to
0:39.8	illuminate and defend Scripture. And I'm going to use restored scripture as well as the
0:45.1	ancient text today, because we get to look at the handmaidens and the harems and the heroines as
0:51.0	they find their Messiah. Today we get to open up the beautiful text of Moses
0:57.3	Chapter 1, this pure revelation that I think out of the entire text of the Old Testament is my
1:04.7	favorite chapter. Moses chapter 1 was given to Joseph Smith as part of the Joseph Smith
1:09.6	translation like we talked about last week.
1:12.4	And correlating with this is Abraham Chapter 3.
1:15.8	It's a little bit different, but that's what we're studying this week and come follow me for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
1:21.7	And these two sacred texts, these two restored scripture, add an enormous amount of depth.
1:28.3	I feel like we go from the black and white page into living color as we look at the beautiful restoration.
1:34.3	Anytime I refer to a temple text, I'm referring to something that prepares us to return to God,
1:41.3	that prepares us to enter into the presence of God, that teaches us what we have to do to return to God, that prepares us to enter into the presence of God, that teaches us what we
1:46.5	have to do to return to Him.
1:48.5	And today's text is a temple text.
1:51.8	Moses chapter 1 is a beautiful sermon.
