Summary

We often think of God as an immovable, distant force. But when Enoch looked into heaven, he didn't see a stoic deity—he saw a God in tears. Why would the Creator of "worlds without number" weep for us? The answer reveals the true heart of Zion. Summary: In this deep dive into Moses 7, we witness the culmination of Enoch's ministry. We move from the "high mountain" of personal revelation to the "City of Holiness" that eventually ascended to God. Building the City of Zion: We analyze the three pillars of Zion: being of "one heart and one mind," dwelling in "righteousness," and ensuring there are "no poor among them". The Weeping God: We explore the stunning dialogue where Enoch asks God, "How is it that thou canst weep?". We learn that God’s sorrow stems from the agency of His children who "hate their own blood" and refuse His love. The Perspective of Enoch: Like Enoch, we are invited to look beyond our own time. We discuss his vision of the Crucifixion, the Restoration, and the eventual return of Zion where "heaven and earth shall meet". Divine Empathy: We discuss the "Mother Eve" connection and the "Mother Earth" who groans for her children, showing that all of creation yearns for the righteousness of Zion. Call-to-Action: Zion is not just a place; it's a way of being. What is one thing you can do this week to move toward having "one heart" with those around you? Share your thoughts in the comments!

0:06.0	Lord, I believe, help thou mine unbelief.
0:13.0	May our testimonies be as deep and as strong as that of Jacob,

0:24.6	Hello, and Shaken Saints. Jared Halverson here. Glad to be back with you.
0:41.2	I've either got a bad head cold or I'm hitting puberty again. My voice is about an octave lower than normal.
0:47.8	It's been awesome to sing some songs and hit the low notes like I've never been able to before.
0:52.9	My dream is still hitting that sheer con
0:55.1	note in Jungle Book. Maybe someday. I'm not feeling super great, but the show must go on,
1:02.8	right? Or in better words, the scriptures should still be studied. And especially based on what
1:09.1	we've got to cover this week, I can't let a cold
1:12.2	get in the way of the building of Zion, which is exactly what we're in for with this second
1:16.9	half of the visions of Enick. Moses chapter 7 is where we'll be today. And of all the masterpieces
1:23.6	of scripture, this might be one of the absolute greatest. To understand what
1:29.9	Joseph Smith is revealing to us. Again, like I mentioned last week, what we have in Moses
1:36.1	6 and 7, the story of Enoch, has no equivalent in the book of Genesis. You get those four
1:41.1	little verses about Enoch that he was and then he wasn't. he walked with God and talk about this, this dropping hints that there's more to this story than what we have in Genesis, or at least more than I want.
1:53.1	And Joseph gives us such incredible truth, better said, the Lord does through the prophet Joseph.
1:59.4	In fact, I've mentioned this in previous years.
2:02.6	For a year in college, I got to work in the, for the BYU Religious Study Center, working on a
