Yesterday I had 6 baby chicks hatch from my pure white silkie chicken family. The timing of it has been so special as I’ve been pondering the Savior’s words in chapter 10:5. I watch the mother hen stretch forth her white “wings of mercy”, while softly clucking to her chicks to gather beneath her in safety. Trustingly, they all flock to her, disappear under her wings, then cautiously poke their little heads out to see if danger has passed. She sits, fiercely protective, willing to give her life and face any threat to her babies. It is the most tender, nurturing scene. Never do I see any of the chicks refuse to be gathered. Oh that we could all be as trusting as these baby chicks!
Wow! Beautiful insights Brother Halverson. My parents were serving in St Thomas when hurricane Marilyn hit and their experience was exactly how you described it holding dearly on to a mattress to survive the storm. While they thought the storm would never end, the winds stopped and calmed. They were so grateful to God that spared their lives and their fellow missionaries and neighbors❤️🩷❤️
I remember several years ago Ravi Zacharias giving an address at BYU and he shared a story about being in India and seeing the aftermath of a barnyard fire. There were several hens that had died from the heat and flames but the chicks that had sheltered under their wings were saved from the fire and lived.
this is my favorite part in the book of mormon all the heart felt feelings of not only our savior but the people and then feeling that you dont ever want him to leave ever . i can only imagine with that same hope . i love that thank you for all you do brother ..
So incredible! Your poem is beautiful! You are a poet, and a great teacher. I love Jesus Christ and never want to hear those words… I Would Not! From Him. Thank You for this wonderful lesson.
Wonderful Morning Every body is up... Living with daughter now. I love each part of the book 📖 But Jesus coming is special for many reasons We think about the things we have found in the many years and cities off different countries, idols off in the seas,roads, yes he came to many different places And came to 🌎 America's I believe this and know it'd true. Know it's True. I don't know if I will be alive when he comes again . I love him ❤ I don't know what I'd do without him. 20:12
I'm beginning to think that it's only when our hearts have been completely broken by tragic events in our lives that we are humbled sufficiently enough to submit to Heavenly Father's will and trust in His purpose for our lives here on earth. Submitting to and trusting in His will for us then brings peace and contentment even through our heartbreak.
Thank you for your beautiful poem, Brother Halverson. You pay the price to have profound experiences. Thank you for sharing the treasures that comes from your sacrifices, with us. We are SO blessed because of you. I wish I could bless you and your family....
With everything that happens to the earth when the Saviour died, to me it is a similitude of what the Saviour suffered mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually has he atone for all of us.
Yes, it's a battle against the evil one. The Book of Mormon is such an explaination of our day. Filling out lives with things of God is the only way we can navigate the upheavals and personal life disasters in these last days. I'm so grateful for the Savior and His matchless power to help, heal, comfort , lead and guide.
Loved that. Words are not adequate to describe the feelings. "Heavenly" would be one. This lifts us from our troubled world to a higher place. Love it!!
My dad always says the every valley verse refers to what happens to us. The proud is brought low and the humble are raised up. I like his additional interpretation.
Seems pretty clear that if you have a wayward child or friend that claim they don't believe any more (or whatever they claim for that matter), simply challenge them to watch all of Bro Hal's videos. Tell them to take as long as they want, but to simply pay attention when watching/listening (not multitask). I doubt anyone (member, former member, never member, etc.) can sincerely do so and still have a reasonable argument left afterword against the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
I believe we're going through a transition and we are witnessing the Gathering of Israel. Israel's not a country it is in our heart. All of our brothers and sisters are all connected to Father above therefore We Are Family. I love God with all my heart and my brother Jesus that did such an amazing job teaching the principles of God which are unconditional love unconditional forgiveness charity for all never judge anyone and pray for those who spitefully use us. All glory to God the higher power or whatever you want to call him he doesn't care just call him. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ just as Jesus taught us to pray to the father . Our Father and Jesus are connected as well as the holy spirit in the same purpose to walk with us on our journey and keep us safe. However we have to choose that guiding force to be safe
Brother Halverson, I love your poem….great job! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your testimony as you help us understand and liken the scriptures to us in our day!
I smiled when you said....children of God by default!!!!!!. How to be you? Youre so full of spiritual knowledge and wisdom. Thank you very much. From: Matalam branch Kidapawan District Philippine Gensan Mission
Hello to all....I believe the reason why it was Neccessary for the people to go forth and touch Jesus Christs sacrifical wounds is because that is how we learn and feel the Spirit. In school we use our eyes, visual, we use our ears, auditory, and our kenistitic abilities, feeling and emotion. Some people learn better visually, some learn better auditorally, but we all learn kenistitically. Christ knew all those learning capacities needed to be used to witness Him and plant His or cement His words in their hearts.
We are witnessing the Gathering of Israel and every country. Just as God said that in the latter days this is where it would get to. Teach lovingly to The Strangers have the face in God and teach as Jesus did. That we must all have unconditional love unconditional forgiveness charity for all and never judging anyone else. All glory to God in Jesus humble name amen
Bro. Jared. Thanks for this great work. I love it. It helps me stay balanced and focused. As I study the typology of the second Coming in these BoM chapters, I see a type that aligns with Armeggdon better than the typology of the earthquakes and destruction. In 3 NEPHI 3- 4, we see the battle of Zarahemla and Bountiful. The Nephites are gathered together in defense of the robbers. The Nephites ascribe their victory to the power of God. This battle lasts about 3 years. I think this is a good typology for the modern, as yet to be, Battle of Armageddon. The Jews gather together and Christ saves them from their enemies. You called the destruction at the death of Christ Armeggdon. I think this aligns more with the prophecy in D&C 88 and the Book of Revelation, the testimony of nature. I think we could see a Battle of Armeggdon in which Christ saves the Jews an then there is a time for preaching and teaching world wide before He comes in his glory. Maybe about 33 years. What do you think? Thanks, Steve Allison.
I wonder if human minds can even conceive of the unity of the Father, His Son, and the Holy Ghost. No wonder then, that so many have mashed them into one untouchable , unknowable Being.
I love your presentations, and this week I especially loved the poem you quoted (wrote?). Could you provide the reference, or the complete text. I would love to share it with family.❤
Thank you, thank you for sharing your poetry again. Share as often as you want to; if I love it, I'm sure that there are others who do, too. I also thought of this verse from Isaiah 5:13 - "and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof". Thunder and lightening - spiritual deafness and blindness. Cities burned - Isaiah 50:11 "All ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks.. This shall ye have of mind hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow." Spiritually desolate lives can feel as if they have no meaning, like being in a barren desert, where there is no water.
In 1980 when Mt, St. Helens erupted I was living in Northern Idaho, and watched a black cloud roll in from the west. The ash started to fall and the air was think and heavy, darkness at midday- maybe afternoon 😉 But that’s as close to mists of darkness that I have experienced. It’s a little scary even with a TV to tell you what is happening.
I wondered why there would be disputations about baptism? It is clear that baptisms were performed from the beginning of the Book of Mormon. It appears that the mode of baptism did not change, but maybe instead the baptismal prayer did? The prayer that Jesus institutes is not used prior to that time. So He wants to be clear how the baptismal prayer is worded. Also, there may have been disputations on whether baptism is still necessary since the Law of Moses has been fulfilled. Just like earlier when some thought it was no longer expedient to follow the Law of Moses at the sign of Christ's birth.
The scriptures talk about the Gathering of Israel and the Gathering of Israel is all of our brothers throughout the Earth. I know the transition into having so many immigrants into different countries is difficult but understand God does not make mistakes. I believe this is the Gathering of Israel Jesus will be returning to Earth soon. For we are all brothers and sisters of Father above and we must unite in prayer and fasting to gain the strength to fight off the dark Forces of the world and call upon the light of God god. Is the light
Interesting perspective. When you think, with a perspective of God, or for better words, think celestially, that is indeed a possibility, with all of the migrants infiltrating all over the world. It’s destroying western civilization, but it’s also hastening the return of Jesus Christ by destroying man-made structures and organizations. Our ways are not his ways. His ways are higher.
In some ways not all temple work is individual. Sealings are for families! Nothing is so satisfying as kneeling at the alter and sealing all their children together as a family not one by one. I dont want to feel Christ's wounds. I would like to be like the woman who washed his feet with her tears.
The 1994 Northridge Earthquake brought that overpass down for the 2nd time. The first time was in 1971 in the Sylmar Earthquake. They had rebuilt it exactly the same way. This time they built it down much lower. A CHP Office was killed in the ‘94 earthquake. I was supposed to drive over that overpass the next day for a Doctor’s appointment in Newhall. Instead I took San Francisquito Canyon Road.
Bro Halverson, you may have answered this previously but I don't get the propensity of BOM people to "fall down to the earth as if they were dead". I've always wondered at it, to be honest I've always laughed about it.
Why does Jesus need or does or says in 3Nephi 11: 21-22 "... I give unto you power that ye shall baptize this people when I am again ascended into heaven. And again the Lord called others, and said unto them likewise; and he gave unto them power to baptize." Jesus Christ is giving them the power to baptize with water. But, Nephi was already baptizing before this time. Did Nephi not have the power to baptize then? I'm sure he did. So, I'm not sure why Jesus is now giving them the power to do so. By the way, I love your teachings!!!
Does anyone see that the destruction happened at the early part of the year 3Nephi 8:5 and the Lord did not appear until the end of the year? 3Nephi 10:18
yes, I calculated the time passed from 3 Nephi 8:5 "thirty and fourth year, in the first month, on the fourth day" when Jesus was crucified until 3 Nephi 10:18 "in the ending of the thirty and fourth year...he (Christ) did truly manifest himself unto them (the Nephites and once called Lamanites)
We do kind of have an idea of how much time passed between the death of the Savior and when He visited the Americas: Chapter 8: And it came to pass in the thirty fourth day of the FIRST month on the fourth day of the month there arose a great storm....... Then.....Chapter 10 verse 18 And it came pass that in the ENDING of the thirty and fourth year, behold, I will show unto you that the people of Nephi who were spared and also that who have been ........etc
Did you catch that... We are to be baptized not as a child but like a child just like it says in Moroni chapter 8 the church has changed the actual doctrine of Christ!
Have you ever thought the temples are the great and spacious building? If the iron rod is the word of God, and the filthy waters are just next to the path, same with the mist of darkness, then how easy could it be to just go to the other side of the river and go inside? Shouldn't we be seeking to actually seeking to taste the fruit of thr tree? If the iron rod is something that is symbol of his word, why would not the fruit that is so sweet be Jesus? Is not the church "feeling its way" not following the actual word that is so plain? When we taste the fruit, Jesus is right there with the Love of God.
The Church of Jesus Christ has been built upon. It was supposed to have been simple and plain Faith repentance baptism gift of the Holy Ghost. Again the church has built upon the doctrine of Christ which is not Christ.
All scripture is the WORD of God and if the WORD of God, then it is Christ's and His doctrine as it comes from Him. You cannot separate God from His WORD

Thanks for sharing! We all need to be trusting chicks, or in other words have the faith of little children.
Your poem for the gathering is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

But Jesus coming is special for many reasons
We think about the things we have found in the many years and cities off different countries, idols off in the seas,roads, yes he came to many different places
And came to 🌎 America's
I believe this and know it'd true.
Know it's True.
I don't know if I will be alive when he comes again .
I love him ❤
I don't know what I'd do without him. 20:12
You are so excellent in your narrative thankyou for your extreme testimony and shareing with all of us the Book of Mormon is a lead up to our time
Thank You. I am not there but approaching still. Thank You for helping me.
I'm beginning to think that it's only when our hearts have been completely broken by tragic events in our lives that we are humbled sufficiently enough to submit to Heavenly Father's will and trust in His purpose for our lives here on earth. Submitting to and trusting in His will for us then brings peace and contentment even through our heartbreak.

I had the same question
How to get a copy of the poem?
I pause the recording and copy the words in my journal edition scriptures. Takes me a long time to get through each video but so so worth it.
