Hey everyone. This is Taylor Halverson from Book of Mormon Central. We've had a lot of requests to add our weekly Come Follow Me videos with myself and Tyler Griffin to our podcast. We are very excited to do this. However, just know that we use a lot of visuals in our videos. So if you ever want to see the visuals, check out Book of Mormon Central on YouTube. We hope you enjoy. This video is the second episode in a two-part series for this week's Come Follow Me material.

If you haven't seen part one, we recommend that you watch it so that you have context for this episode.

The link will be included in the description.

If you've already seen the first episode, enjoy.

Look at the last line of verse 12 as he is finalizing this concept of the ultimate gathering,

and they shall not sorrow anymore at all.

It hearkens to the idea of God wiping away all tears from their eyes.

Sorrow will be done away.

Those tests of mortality will have filled their purpose and no more need for sorrow.

It's a beautiful promise for the gathering.

And it's interesting because there's a lot of cause for sorrow.

So in verse 15, thus say it the Lord,

a voice was heard in Rama, lamentation and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children,

refusing to be comforted for her children because they were not. And so there's this cause because

they're going into judgment. This very verse, it talks about in Jeremiah's context, Rachel weeping

for her children, the children of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin talks about in Jeremiah's context, Rachel weeping for her children.

The children of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.

And so Jeremiah is talking about the House of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh and the tribe of Benjamin going into exile,

and how Rachel figuratively is weeping for her children.

Now, interestingly, this gets picked up in Matthew chapter 2. Matthew loves this verse. So he's going to

cause and talk about how in his context he's going to apply that to that incidence in Matthew

chapter 2 where King Herod has that sort of action against all the young ones in Bethlehem.
